will_v make_v choice_n of_o not_o of_o a_o perpendicular_a posture_n for_o so_o both_o the_o pleasant_a variety_n and_o great_a convenience_n of_o summer_n and_o winter_n spring_n and_o autumn_n

posture_n which_o our_o reason_n can_v make_v choice_n of_o we_o see_v real_o establish_v in_o nature_n we_o can_v but_o acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v the_o issue_n of_o wisdom_n counsel_n and_o providence_n moreover_o a_o further_a argument_n to_o evince_v this_o be_v that_o though_o it_o can_v but_o be_v acknowledge_v that_o if_o the_o axis_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v perpendicular_a to_o the_o plain_a of_o the_o ecliptic_a her_o motion_n will_v be_v more_o easy_a and_o natural_a yet_o notwithstanding_o for_o the_o conveniency_n foremention_v we_o see_v it_o be_v make_v in_o a_o incline_a posture_n if_o any_o man_n shall_v object_v and_o say_v it_o will_v be_v more_o convenient_a for_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o earth_n if_o the_o tropic_n stand_v at_o a_o great_a distance_n and_o the_o sun_n move_v further_a northward_o and_o southward_o for_o so_o the_o north_n and_o south_n part_n will_v be_v relieve_v and_o not_o expose_v to_o so_o extreme_a cold_n and_o thereby_o render_v unhabitable_a as_o now_o they_o be_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o will_v be_v more_o inconvenient_a to_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o general_n and_o yet_o will_v afford_v the_o north_n and_o south_n part_v but_o little_o more_o comfort_n for_o then_o as_o much_o as_o the_o distance_n between_o the_o tropic_n be_v enlarge_v so_o much_o will_v also_o the_o arctic_a and_o antarctic_a circle_n be_v enlarge_v too_o and_o so_o we_o here_o in_o england_n and_o so_o on_o northerly_a shall_v not_o have_v that_o grateful_a and_o useful_a succession_n of_o day_n and_o night_n but_o proportionable_o to_o the_o sun_n come_v towards_o we_o so_o will_v our_o day_n be_v of_o more_o than_o twenty_o four_o hour_n length_n and_o according_a to_o his_o recess_n in_o winter_n our_o night_n proportionable_a which_o how_o great_a a_o inconvenience_n it_o will_v be_v be_v easy_o see_v whereas_o now_o the_o whole_a latitude_n of_o earth_n which_o have_v at_o any_o time_n above_o twenty_o four_o hour_n day_n and_o twenty_o four_o hour_n night_n be_v little_a and_o inconsiderable_a in_o comparison_n of_o the_o whole_a bulk_n as_o lie_v near_o the_o pole_n and_o yet_o neither_o be_v that_o part_n altogether_o unuseful_a for_o in_o the_o water_n there_o live_v fish_n which_o otherwhere_o be_v not_o obvious_a so_o we_o know_v the_o chief_a whale-fishing_a
