so_o hot_a upon_o the_o inhabitant_n that_o have_v be_v in_o so_o long_a extremity_n of_o darkness_n and_o cold_a before_o it_o remain_v therefore_o that_o the_o posture_n of_o the_o axis_n of_o the_o

nature_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o be_v not_o perverse_a and_o wilful_a we_o be_v to_o infer_v that_o it_o be_v establish_v by_o a_o principle_n that_o have_v in_o it_o knowledge_n and_o counsel_n not_o from_o a_o blind_a fortuitous_a jumble_v of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o matter_n one_o against_o another_o especial_o have_v find_v before_o in_o ourselves_o a_o know_v spiritual_a substance_n that_o be_v also_o able_a to_o move_v and_o alter_v the_o matter_n wherefore_o i_o say_v we_o shall_v more_o natural_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v some_o such_o universal_a know_a principle_n that_o have_v power_n to_o move_v and_o direct_v the_o matter_n then_o to_o fancy_v that_o a_o confuse_a justle_n of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o matter_n shall_v contrive_v themselves_o into_o such_o a_o condition_n as_o if_o they_o have_v in_o they_o reason_n and_o counsel_n and_o can_v direct_v themselves_o but_o this_o direct_a principle_n what_o can_v it_o be_v but_o god_n but_o to_o speak_v the_o same_o thing_n more_o brief_o and_o yet_o more_o intelligible_o to_o those_o that_o be_v only_o acquaint_v with_o the_o ptolemaicall_a hypothesis_n i_o say_v that_o be_v it_o may_v have_v happen_v that_o the_o annual_a course_n of_o the_o sun_n shall_v have_v be_v through_o the_o pole_n of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o the_o axis_n of_o the_o heaven_n may_v have_v be_v very_o troublesome_o and_o disorderly_o movable_a from_o whence_o all_o those_o inconvenience_n will_v arise_v which_o i_o have_v above_o mention_v and_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o but_o be_v so_o order_v as_o 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 be_v that_o they_o be_v make_v by_o a_o all_o wise_a and_o all-powerful_a god_n i_o will_v only_o add_v one_o or_o two_o observable_n more_o concern_v the_o axis_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o course_n of_o the_o moon_n and_o so_o i_o will_v pass_v to_o other_o thing_n 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 plane_n 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 a_o incline_a posture_n so_o in_o all_o likelihood_n it_o will_v be_v more_o easy_a and_o natural_a for_o that_o handmaid_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o moon_n to_o finish_v her_o monthly_a course_n 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 may_v swim_v in_o this_o liquid_a aether_n like_o a_o roast_a apple_n in_o a_o great_a bowl_n of_o wine_n and_o be_v carry_v about_o like_a straw_n or_o grass_n cast_v upon_o a_o whirlpool_n yet_o that_o its_o motion_n and_o posture_n shall_v be_v so_o direct_v and_o attemper_v as_o we_o ourselves_o that_o have_v reason_n upon_o due_a consideration_n will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v and_o yet_o 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 in_o a_o man_n hat_n will_v settle_v to_o such_o a_o determinate_a figure_n or_o because_o the_o frost_n and_o the_o wind_n will_v draw_v upon_o door_n and_o glasse-window_n pretty_a uncouth_a streak_n like_o feather_n and_o other_o foolery_n which_o be_v to_o no_o use_n or_o purpose_n to_o infer_v thence_o that_o all_o the_o contrivance_n that_o be_v in_o nature_n even_o the_o frame_n of_o the_o body_n both_o of_o man_n and_o beast_n be_v from_o no_o other_o principle_n but_o the_o jumble_v together_o of_o the_o matter_n and_o so_o because_o that_o this_o do_v natural_o effect_v something_o that_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o thing_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v a_o reason_n in_o the_o same_o mood_n and_o figure_n with_o that_o wise_a market-mans_n who_o go_v down_o a_o
