our_o own_o reason_n must_v approve_v of_o as_o best_a it_o be_v natural_a for_o a_o man_n to_o conceive_v that_o they_o be_v real_o order_v by_o a_o principle_n of_o reason_n and_o counsel_n that_o

of_o the_o sun_n be_v ecliptic_a that_o her_o motion_n will_v be_v more_o easy_a and_o natural_a and_o yet_o for_o the_o conveniency_n afore_o mention_v we_o see_v it_o be_v make_v to_o stand_v in_o

the_o aequinoctial_a line_n but_o we_o see_v like_o the_o sun_n she_o cross_v it_o and_o expatiate_v some_o degree_n further_o than_o the_o sun_n himself_o that_o her_o exalt_a light_n may_v be_v more_o comfortable_a to_o those_o that_o live_v very_o much_o north_n in_o their_o long_a night_n wherefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o though_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o the_o confuse_a agitation_n of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o matter_n may_v make_v a_o round_a hard_a heap_n like_o the_o earth_n and_o more_o thin_a and_o liquid_a body_n like_o the_o aether_n and_o sun_n and_o that_o the_o earth_n

not_o to_o be_v from_o that_o which_o be_v know_v and_o in_o some_o sense_n reasonable_a be_v to_o our_o faculty_n if_o they_o discern_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o as_o absonous_a and_o absurd_a as_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v for_o when_o it_o have_v be_v easy_a to_o have_v be_v otherwise_o why_o shall_v it_o be_v thus_o if_o some_o superintendent_n cause_o do_v not_o oversee_v and_o direct_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o matter_n allow_v nothing_o therein_o but_o what_o our_o reason_n will_v confess_v to_o be_v to_o very_o good_a purpose_n but_o because_o so_o many_o bullet_n joggle_v together_o
