because_o that_o be_v not_o a_o universal_a rule_n for_o when_o fruit_n be_v ripe_a towards_o the_o latitude_n of_o the_o north_n it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o the_o south_n but_o quite_o contrary_a and_o

of_o the_o moon_n than_o otherwise_o but_o to_o make_v short_a i_o say_v according_a to_o my_o opinion_n that_o god_n when_o he_o create_v it_o make_v it_o entire_o full_a and_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o sun_n and_o so_o it_o seem_v that_o this_o opinion_n be_v most_o receive_v saint_n augustine_n in_o the_o place_n allege_v and_o raban_n upon_o the_o eleven_o chapter_n of_o exodus_fw-la say_v the_o same_o and_o they_o agree_v with_o the_o holy_a scripture_n where_o it_o be_v say_v god_n make_v two_o light_n one_o great_a to_o govern_v the_o day_n the_o other_o less_o to_o govern_v the_o night_n now_o at_o the_o same_o instant_n that_o the_o sun_n begin_v to_o show_v his_o light_n he_o enlighten_v half_o the_o world_n so_o that_o in_o half_a the_o world_n it_o be_v day_n but_o the_o other_o half_n can_v have_v the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n because_o of_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o earth_n nevertheless_o it_o seem_v reasonable_a that_o in_o the_o other_o half_a of_o the_o earth_n where_o it_o be_v night_n the_o moon_n do_v her_o office_n of_o give_v light_n because_o as_o they_o be_v both_o create_v at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o instant_n so_o do_v they_o both_o their_o office_n at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o instant_n and_o one_o rule_v the_o day_n and_o the_o other_o the_o night_n as_o the_o text_n say_v for_o than_o be_v verify_v the_o word_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o the_o world_n be_v enlighten_v throughout_o and_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o the_o moon_n have_v be_v in_o conjunction_n that_o can_v not_o be_v but_o fifteen_o day_n after_o and_o there_o will_v have_v be_v three_o or_o four_o day_n past_a before_o she_o can_v have_v give_v light_a to_o the_o earth_n although_o this_o have_v be_v but_o little_a as_o we_o see_v when_o she_o be_v four_o or_o five_o day_n old_a wherefore_o it_o be_v convenient_a that_o these_o two_o light_n enlighten_v the_o earth_n at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n i_o say_v further_o that_o if_o the_o moon_n have_v be_v in_o opposition_n of_o the_o sun_n of_o necessity_n she_o must_v be_v find_v one_o the_o other_o side_n in_o the_o sign_n of_o libra_n which_o be_v so_o she_o work_v that_o day_n the_o same_o effect_n of_o the_o sun_n enlighten_v all_o the_o world_n in_o the_o measure_n that_o she_o make_v her_o course_n that_o day_n which_o she_o can_v not_o do_v if_o she_o be_v in_o any_o

for_o other_o planet_n it_o will_v be_v more_o difficult_a to_o avouch_v and_o less_o profitable_a to_o know_v therefore_o i_o mean_v not_o to_o employ_v much_o time_n about_o they_o howsoever_o

because_o the_o water_n that_o we_o drink_v be_v not_o simple_a in_o its_o proper_a nature_n but_o be_v mingle_v with_o earth_n and_o air_n but_o by_o the_o fire_n the_o windiness_n be_v exhale_v
