fix_a star_n be_v and_o the_o which_o never_o vary_v their_o situation_n distance_n nor_o figure_n or_o shape_n and_o this_o heaven_n be_v call_v by_o they_o the_o firmament_n how_o the_o astronomer_n divide_v the_o star_n or_o whether_o they_o be_v numberless_a or_o no_o as_o for_o the_o fix_a star_n we_o hold_v they_o to_o be_v numberless_a the_o holy_a scripture_n give_v we_o a_o testimony_n thereof_o i_o mean_v that_o beside_o the_o great_a infinite_a number_n that_o we_o see_v there_o be_v yet_o a_o far_o more_o infinite_a number_n of_o lesserstar_n which_o be_v by_o we_o not_o see_v as_o have_v be_v observe_v by_o certain_a prospective_n glass_n make_v in_o italy_n and_o though_o the_o ancient_n have_v not_o mark_v above_o 1022._o their_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o star_n but_o that_o they_o have_v observe_v none_o but_o those_o as_o be_v only_o the_o chief_a which_o they_o have_v need_n of_o and_o those_o thousand_o twenty_o two_o star_n be_v divide_v into_o forty_o eight_o constellation_n or_o figure_n of_o animal_n which_o the_o ancient_n have_v suppose_v for_o to_o discern_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o and_o have_v separate_v and_o dispose_v of_o they_o into_o three_o rank_n as_o septentrional_n zodiac_n and_o meridionalls_n moreover_o the_o star_n be_v distinguish_v by_o their_o several_a magnitude_n or_o bigness_n which_o have_v be_v find_v to_o be_v six_o so_o that_o all_o the_o great_a star_n be_v of_o the_o first_o bigness_n the_o lesser_a of_o the_o second_o three_o four_o five_o and_o six_o magnitude_n or_o bigness_n in_o which_o the_o least_o of_o they_o all_o be_v comprehend_v whether_o or_o no_o the_o star_n be_v translucent_a of_o themselves_o and_o transparent_a the_o star_n have_v no_o proper_a light_n of_o themselves_o save_v in_o this_o manner_n all_o the_o star_n and_o planet_n be_v of_o one_o and_o the_o selfsame_a nature_n but_o the_o moon_n have_v no_o other_o light_n than_o what_o she_o borrow_v of_o the_o sun_n so_o no_o more_o can_v any_o of_o the_o other_o star_n have_v any_o other_o light_n but_o from_o the_o sun_n but_o suppose_v it_o be_v object_v that_o the_o moon_n lose_v not_o altogether_o its_o light_n though_o she_o eclipse_v in_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o earth_n because_o that_o in_o the_o eclipse_a party_n there_o appear_v a_o redness_n and_o that_o such_o a_o redness_n for_o aught_o we_o know_v may_v be_v her_o natural_a light_n i_o answer_v that_o that_o redness_n can_v be_v her_o natural_a because_o that_o if_o it_o be_v so_o she_o will_v never_o quit_v that_o redness_n save_v when_o she_o increase_v or_o that_o she_o be_v in_o her_o first_o quarter_n and_o then_o that_o part_n of_o the_o moon_n which_o be_v not_o illuminate_v by_o the_o sun_n aught_o to_o have_v that_o redness_n which_o be_v not_o so_o as_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n and_o therefore_o all_o redness_n be_v not_o natural_a to_o the_o moon_n moreover_o if_o it_o be_v demand_v from_o whence_o that_o redness_n proceed_v its_o from_o the_o reflection_n of_o the_o lig_n 〈…〉_z be_v encounter_v by_o the_o moon_n in_o the_o shado_n 〈…〉_z earth_n for_o as_o the_o moon_n be_v a_o polish_a body_n 〈…〉_z the_o shadow_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v never_o destitute_a of_o some_o little_a light_n so_o it_o be_v that_o little_a light_n which_o cause_v the_o redness_n in_o she_o so_o that_o by_o what_o be_v aforesaid_a it_o clear_o appear_v that_o the_o sun_n be_v the_o principle_n of_o light_n it_o be_v god_n pleasure_n to_o adorn_v it_o with_o such_o a_o eminent_a quality_n furthermore_o we_o say_v that_o the_o star_n be_v not_o so_o transparent_a as_o the_o heaven_n be_v which_o may_v be_v see_v by_o the_o moon_n and_o mercury_n when_o they_o be_v interpose_v between_o our_o eye_n and_o the_o sun_n and_o that_o they_o eclipse_v she_o and_o so_o its_o apparent_a that_o the_o star_n be_v both_o dusky_a and_o danky_a that_o the_o heaven_n be_v round_o and_o that_o they_o move_v the_o one_o within_o the_o other_o from_o the_o east_n to_o the_o west_n their_o usual_a course_n as_o we_o have_v hitherto_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v eight_o heaven_n so_o must_v we_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v round_o and_o that_o they_o turn_v the_o one_o within_o the_o other_o from_o east_n to_o west_n the_o which_o may_v appear_v unto_o we_o most_o manifest_o for_o we_o see_v that_o the_o sun_n the_o planet_n and_o all_o the_o other_o star_n do_v rise_v first_o in_o the_o east_n on_o our_o horizon_n then_o little_a by_o little_a they_o advance_v towards_o the_o south_n and_o that_o final_o they_o set_v in_o the_o west_n so_o next_o again_o they_o rise_v all_o in_o the_o east_n we_o will_v but_o instance_n in_o the_o sun_n and_o say_v that_o it_o must_v be_v either_o the_o self_n same_o sun_n or_o another_o which_o we_o daily_o see_v to_o rise_v and_o set_v it_o can_v be_v any_o other_o for_o that_o then_o every_o day_n will_v require_v a_o new_a one_o and_o if_o it_o be_v the_o same_o sun_n it_o must_v either_o have_v past_a over_o within_o or_o underneath_o the_o earth_n over_o the_o earth_n it_o can_v have_v past_a for_o as_o much_o as_o then_o there_o will_v have_v be_v no_o night_n the_o presence_n of_o the_o sun_n cause_v the_o day_n neither_o can_v it_o have_v past_a within_o the_o earth_n because_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v hereafter_o its_o great_a than_o the_o earth_n it_o remain_v then_o that_o it_o must_v have_v past_a underneath_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o consequent_o its_o orb_n or_o heaven_n turn_v about_o the_o earth_n and_o since_o all_o the_o heaven_n turn_v the_o one_o within_o the_o other_o about_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o from_o the_o east_n to_o the_o west_n we_o may_v just_o then_o say_v that_o the_o heaven_n be_v round_o it_o be_v also_o grant_v that_o the_o heaven_n be_v round_o because_o that_o be_v they_o be_v the_o most_o noble_a part_n of_o the_o world_n and_o in_o which_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v contain_v it_o be_v most_o necessary_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v of_o a_o round_a form_n which_o be_v the_o most_o capabl_a and_o most_o perfect_a of_o all_o other_o for_o if_o the_o heaven_n have_v any_o other_o figure_n or_o form_n those_o which_o be_v inferior_a to_o the_o other_o can_v not_o possible_o transport_v their_o planet_n from_o the_o east_n to_o the_o west_n because_o of_o their_o angle_n or_o else_o we_o must_v grant_v that_o they_o penetrate_v each_o other_o and_o so_o there_o will_v chance_v to_o be_v a_o penetration_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o heaven_n which_o will_v contradict_v what_o have_v be_v former_o prove_v to_o wit_n that_o its_o matter_n or_o substance_n be_v both_o solid_a and_o fix_a etc._n etc._n the_o end_n of_o the_o first_o lecture_n
