the_o earth_n before_o i_o conclude_v this_o discourse_n i_o think_v it_o yet_o convenient_a to_o answer_v they_o who_o think_v that_o they_o have_v hit_v right_a on_o the_o head_n of_o the_o nail_n when_o they_o say_v that_o the_o spot_n in_o the_o moon_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o earth_n shadow_n which_o communicate_v themselves_o in_o the_o moon_n as_o in_o a_o looking-glass_n but_o they_o do_v not_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v no_o analogy_n nor_o resemblance_n between_o those_o spot_n and_o those_o of_o our_o general_a map_n nor_o that_o in_o dark_a night_n this_o figure_n can_v be_v communicate_v to_o the_o moon_n or_o can_v it_o be_v say_v that_o those_o mountain_n in_o the_o moon_n be_v nothing_o but_o some_o flat_a and_o low_a obscurity_n but_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o shadow_n of_o those_o mountain_n appear_v and_o turn_v as_o the_o needle_n of_o a_o sea-compass_n proportionable_o as_o the_o sun_n inlighten_v they_o diverse_o which_o can_v not_o be_v be_v they_o not_o body_n high_o elevate_v for_o they_o will_v be_v without_o shadow_n and_o monsieur_fw-fr gassandus_n do_v sometime_o say_v that_o he_o have_v mathematical_o measure_v the_o height_n of_o some_o mountain_n and_o valley_n in_o the_o moon_n by_o mean_n of_o their_o shadow_n and_o that_o he_o have_v find_v the_o height_n of_o the_o mountain_n in_o the_o moon_n to_o be_v much_o more_o remarkable_a then_o of_o those_o of_o the_o earth_n chap._n xlvii_o contain_v a_o argument_n draw_v from_o those_o mountain_n that_o be_v in_o the_o moon_n we_o must_v observe_v that_o the_o moon_n be_v half_o full_a more_o or_o less_o out_o of_o it_o be_v see_v many_o little_a spot_n as_o drop_n of_o water_n or_o orient_a pearl_n very_o bright_a now_o they_o be_v the_o top_n of_o the_o mountain_n that_o be_v light_v by_o the_o splendour_n of_o the_o sun_n because_o they_o ascend_v as_o high_a as_o that_o part_n of_o the_o moon_n which_o be_v enlighten_v but_o because_o the_o mountain_n be_v broad_a at_o the_o foot_n and_o be_v dark_a at_o the_o bottom_n those_o drop_n appear_v to_o be_v somewhat_o scatter_v one_o from_o the_o other_o and_o so_o seem_v loose_v from_o the_o moon_n though_o they_o be_v not_o so_o likewise_o if_o one_o shall_v contemplate_v from_o above_o the_o mount_n pireneus_fw-la or_o the_o alps_o he_o will_v only_o see_v their_o top_n in_o the_o form_n of_o so_o many_o pearl_n because_o the_o top_n of_o they_o will_v reverberate_v the_o splendour_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o their_o snow_n will_v increase_v the_o light_n of_o it_o observe_v also_o that_o paul_n in_o his_o 1._o to_o the_o cor._n c._n 15._o v._n 40._o assert_n that_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o celestial_a body_n be_v divers_a from_o that_o of_o the_o terrestrial_a and_o that_o there_o be_v one_o glory_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o another_o glory_n of_o the_o moon_n and_o another_o glory_n of_o the_o star_n but_o if_o they_o differ_v in_o glory_n they_o do_v so_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o variety_n of_o creature_n that_o be_v in_o they_o in_o the_o 47._o verse_n the_o apostle_n seem_v to_o indicate_v that_o there_o be_v heavenly_a man_n and_o also_o earthly_a man_n the_o courteous_a reader_n be_v entreat_v to_o consider_v that_o this_o be_v only_o a_o fragment_n of_o the_o volume_n intend_v by_o the_o author_n for_o to_o set_v forth_o the_o life_n and_o philosophy_n of_o democritus_n who_o assert_v this_o opinion_n so_o that_o i_o say_v only_o what_o he_o himself_o will_v have_v say_v to_o confirm_v his_o position_n but_o if_o it_o seem_v in_o any_o particular_n to_o oppose_v and_o contradict_v the_o principle_n of_o religion_n and_o that_o my_o argument_n do_v not_o give_v full_a satisfaction_n i_o shall_v free_o retract_v and_o unclothe_v myself_o of_o this_o opinion_n if_o it_o be_v any_o way_n noxious_a to_o religion_n if_o it_o be_v recite_v and_o blame_v by_o ignorant_a person_n who_o be_v not_o able_a nor_o sit_v to_o answer_v to_o the_o objection_n and_o can_v or_o will_v not_o weigh_v they_o by_o reason_n i_o have_v what_o i_o expect_v but_o if_o learned_a and_o wise_a person_n can_v show_v i_o the_o contrary_a with_o sound_a proof_n and_o strong_a reason_n they_o shall_v find_v i_o ready_a to_o yield_v up_o this_o my_o opinion_n to_o their_o censure_n though_o above_o fifty_o author_n of_o this_o same_o opinion_n go_v before_o i_o have_v not_o yet_o be_v contradict_v i_o hope_v that_o i_o give_v no_o more_o occasion_n of_o distaste_n than_o they_o finis_fw-la
