aix_n may_v a_o little_a after_o diligent_o observe_v all_o thing_n thereunto_o pertain_v and_o that_o i_o may_v relate_v somewhat_o thereof_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o those_o that_o desire_v to_o know_v such_o thing_n the_o comet_n appear_v from_o the_o end_n of_o november_n to_o the_o middle_n of_o january_n and_o because_o it_o rise_v in_o the_o morning_n therefore_o the_o tail_n thereof_o be_v see_v turn_v upward_o some_o day_n before_o the_o head_n appear_v the_o head_n be_v a_o star_n somewhat_o pale_a as_o big_a as_o the_o fix_a star_n of_o the_o first_o magnitude_n but_o twinkle_v not_o as_o they_o do_v round_o on_o that_o side_n which_o be_v towards_o the_o sun_n and_o crisp_a on_o the_o other_o end_n the_o tail_n or_o hair_n be_v a_o thin_a radiation_n and_o more_o white_a as_o long_o at_o first_o as_o a_o eight_o part_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o broad_a at_o the_o end_n which_o do_v for_o the_o first_o day_n turn_v a_o little_a towards_o the_o south_n as_o much_o as_o come_v to_o a_o six_o part_n of_o its_o length_n the_o first_o appearance_n of_o its_o head_n be_v there_o where_o scorpio_n contract_v his_o claw_n its_o disappearance_n or_o end_v be_v where_o the_o dragon_n part_v the_o bear_n do_v unsold_a the_o end_n of_o his_o tail_n for_o beside_o the_o daily_a motion_n whereby_o this_o comet_n do_v rise_v and_o set_v as_o the_o other_o stats_n it_o go_v by_o its_o own_o proper_a motion_n from_o south_n to_o north_n but_o so_o as_o if_o it_o have_v begin_v at_o the_o middle_n of_o scorpio_n and_o have_v there_o cut_v the_o ecliptic_a incline_v to_o the_o west_n near_o sixty_o three_o degree_n and_o whereas_o at_o first_o this_o motion_n be_v every_o day_n two_o degree_n and_o a_o eight_o part_n it_o become_v about_o the_o nones_n of_o december_n swift_a by_o a_o whole_a degree_n and_o afterward_o it_o do_v so_o decrease_v that_o at_o length_n it_o languish_v as_o also_o its_o tail_n which_o at_o the_o beginning_n be_v so_o long_o become_v by_o little_a and_o little_a so_o shorten_v that_o at_o last_o it_o vanish_v and_o become_v undistinguishable_a from_o the_o head_n peireskius_n understand_v thus_o much_o can_v almost_o have_v find_v in_o his_o heart_n to_o assent_v to_o kepler_n who_o esteem_v that_o motion_n to_o be_v a_o passage_n in_o a_o straight_a line_n which_o be_v near_o we_o see_v it_o appear_v so_o swift_a nor_o can_v be_v hinder_v by_o the_o diurnal_a revolution_n as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v cause_v by_o the_o revolution_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o as_o he_o know_v that_o a_o comet_n be_v no_o exhalation_n from_o the_o earth_n so_o can_v he_o not_o be_v persuade_v that_o it_o be_v eructation_n from_o the_o sun_n or_o a_o concretion_n of_o the_o liquid_a heaven_n he_o be_v more_o incline_v to_o the_o opinion_n of_o seneca_n that_o comet_n be_v as_o perpetual_a as_o the_o star_n we_o daily_o see_v so_o that_o when_o this_o comet_n be_v see_v it_o be_v not_o then_o new_o make_v but_o only_o appear_v anew_o nor_o do_v it_o perish_v by_o dissolution_n but_o disappear_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o immense_a distance_n yet_o it_o ieem_v to_o he_o hard_o to_o conceive_v be_v persuade_v that_o the_o world_n be_v finite_a thus_o much_o only_o he_o easy_o allow_v which_o be_v demonstrate_v from_o the_o observation_n make_v viz._n that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o comet_n be_v not_o only_o above_o the_o moon_n but_o hardly_o low_o than_o the_o sun_n touch_v the_o direction_n of_o the_o tail_n of_o the_o comet_n towards_o that_o quarter_n which_o be_v opposite_a to_o the_o sun_n i_o need_v say_v nothing_o especial_o see_v it_o belong_v nor_o to_o this_o place_n to_o show_v the_o reason_n why_o it_o keep_v not_o a_o direct_a opposition_n but_o turn_v sometime_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o otherwhiles_o to_o the_o left_a hand_n by_o a_o unequal_a kind_n of_o deflexion_n nor_o need_v i_o speak_v of_o what_o it_o presage_v see_v it_o be_v not_o the_o least_o argument_n of_o humane_a weakness_n to_o be_v afraid_a of_o those_o thing_n which_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o this_o world_n wherein_o we_o live_v at_o least_o it_o be_v a_o wonder_n that_o man_n will_v not_o
