only_o and_o that_o the_o demonstration_n itself_o be_v this_o because_o the_o world_n consist_v of_o body_n the_o perfection_n of_o the_o world_n be_v to_o be_v perfect_a in_o the_o notion_n of_o body_n now_o the_o perfection_n of_o body_n lie_v in_o this_o that_o it_o be_v spread_v every_o way_n upon_o three_o prependiculars_n as_o the_o geometrician_n demonstrate_v and_o thus_o be_v both_o the_o several_a body_n and_o the_o world_n but_o in_o a_o divers_a manner_n for_o the_o several_a body_n be_v terminate_v each_o to_o other_o whence_o though_o they_o be_v spread_v according_a to_o

this_o consequence_n the_o arguer_n think_v spring_v from_o such_o a_o fancy_n as_o they_o that_o fear_v the_o antipode_n shall_v drop_v into_o heaven_n but_o he_o reflect_v not_o how_o great_a pain_n the_o philosopher_n take_v to_o establish_v the_o centre_n of_o the_o world_n in_o the_o earth_n which_o grant_v this_o consequence_n will_v depend_v not_o from_o fancy_n but_o reason_n as_o himself_o

the_o late_a it_o follow_v out_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o aristotle_n have_v conclude_v viz._n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o accidental_a in_o eternal_a thing_n and_o by_o consequence_n that_o the_o motion_n towards_o the_o west_n be_v natural_a to_o the_o heaven_n and_o natural_a motion_n be_v to_o the_o more_o honourable_a whence_o it_o clear_o follow_v that_o the_o west_n be_v noble_a

about_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chapter_n he_o express_v indignation_n that_o the_o learned_a so_o employ_v all_o their_o pain_n upon_o logic_n physic_n and_o metaphysic_n that_o the_o science_n
