so_o far_o corrupt_v by_o a_o sharp_a cold_a that_o it_o be_v turn_v into_o snow_n and_o that_o snow_n melt_v again_o into_o water_n also_o as_o for_o other_o body_n which_o he_o have_v near_o he_o he_o can_v see_v none_o of_o they_o which_o have_v not_o its_o existence_n anew_o and_o require_v some_o voluntary_a agent_n to_o give_v it_o a_o be_v wherefore_o he_o reject_v all_o these_o sublunary_a body_n and_o transfer_v his_o thought_n to_o the_o heavenly_a one_o which_o be_v above_o his_o head_n and_o thus_o far_o he_o reach_v in_o his_o contemplation_n about_o the_o end_n of_o the_o four_o septenary_n of_o his_o age_n viz._n when_o he_o be_v now_o twenty_o and_o eight_o year_n old_a now_o he_o know_v that_o the_o heaven_n §_o 45_o and_o all_o the_o star_n therein_o be_v body_n as_o be_v extend_v according_a to_o the_o three_o dimension_n of_o length_n breadth_n and_o thickness_n and_o that_o none_o of_o they_o be_v void_a of_o this_o attribute_n and_o that_o whatsoever_o have_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o body_n all_o these_o therefore_o he_o conclude_v to_o be_v body_n then_o he_o consider_v with_o himself_o whether_o they_o be_v extend_v infinite_o so_o that_o they_o stretch_v out_o themselves_o to_o a_o endless_a length_n breadth_n and_o thickness_n or_o whether_o they_o have_v any_o bound_n and_o be_v confine_v unto_o certain_a limit_n beyond_o which_o they_o proceed_v not_o but_o here_o he_o stop_v a_o while_n as_o in_o a_o kind_n of_o amazement_n yet_o at_o length_n by_o the_o quickness_n of_o §_o 46_o his_o apprehension_n and_o sagacity_n of_o his_o understanding_n he_o find_v that_o a_o infinite_a body_n be_v a_o absurd_a and_o impossible_a thing_n and_o a_o notion_n whole_o unintelligible_a which_o opinion_n he_o be_v confirm_v in_o by_o many_o argument_n that_o come_v into_o his_o mind_n when_o he_o thus_o argue_v with_o himself_o this_o heavenly_a body_n be_v doubtless_o finite_a on_o that_o part_n which_o be_v next_o i_o and_o obvious_a to_o my_o sense_n see_v i_o perceive_v so_o much_o by_o my_o eye_n then_o likewise_o as_o to_o that_o part_n which_o be_v opposite_a to_o this_o and_o concern_v which_o this_o doubt_n arise_v in_o my_o mind_n i_o know_v also_o that_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v impossible_a it_o shall_v be_v extend_v infinite_o for_o if_o i_o conceive_v two_o line_n begin_v at_o that_o part_n which_o be_v bound_v and_o thence_o pass_v through_o the_o thickness_n of_o this_o heavenly_a body_n extend_v themselves_o unto_o a_o infinite_a distance_n and_o then_o suppose_v a_o great_a part_n to_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o one_o of_o these_o line_n where_o its_o extremity_n be_v bound_v and_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o remainder_n of_o that_o line_n which_o have_v part_n cut_v off_o apply_v to_o the_o extremity_n of_o that_o other_o which_o have_v nothing_o cut_v off_o from_o it_o and_o then_o that_o line_n which_o have_v some_o part_n thereof_o cut_v off_o place_v parallel_n to_o that_o other_o line_n which_o have_v nothing_o cut_v off_o the_o understanding_n go_v still_o along_o with_o both_o line_n to_o that_o far_a part_n of_o each_o which_o be_v say_v to_o be_v infinite_a either_o you_o will_v find_v these_o two_o line_n to_o be_v continued_o extend_v without_o come_v to_o any_o end_n so_o that_o neither_o will_v be_v short_a than_o the_o other_o and_o consequent_o the_o line_n which_o have_v somewhat_o cut_v off_o from_o it_o will_v be_v equal_a to_o the_o other_o which_o have_v nothing_o cut_v off_o which_o be_v absurd_a or_o in_o case_n it_o go_v not_o continued_o along_o with_o it_o but_o have_v its_o progress_n interrupt_v and_o so_o fail_v of_o its_o be_v extend_v together_o with_o it_o throughout_o that_o infinite_a space_n it_o will_v be_v finite_a and_o when_o that_o part_n shall_v be_v add_v anew_o to_o it_o which_o be_v before_o cut_v off_o and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v finite_a the_o whole_a line_n too_o will_v be_v necessary_o finite_a as_o consist_v of_o two_o finite_a part_n moreover_o when_o it_o be_v thus_o make_v up_o again_o and_o become_v entire_a in_o itself_o it_o will_v be_v neither_o short_a than_o the_o line_n which_o have_v nothing_o cut_v off_o from_o it_o nor_o exceed_v it_o in_o length_n but_o precise_o equal_a to_o it_o see_v therefore_o this_o line_n be_v finite_a that_o also_o must_v be_v finite_a likewise_o and_o consequent_o that_o body_n wherein_o both_o those_o line_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v and_o be_v thus_o mathematical_o design_v must_v needs_o be_v finite_a too_o for_o every_o body_n wherein_o such_o line_n may_v be_v design_v be_v finite_a and_o there_o be_v no_o body_n wherein_o they_o may_v not_o be_v design_v therefore_o if_o we_o determine_v any_o body_n to_o be_v infinite_a we_o determine_v that_o which_o be_v absurd_a and_o impossible_a now_o when_o he_o be_v thus_o assure_v by_o §_o 47_o the_o singular_a excellency_n of_o his_o wit_n which_o he_o have_v awaken_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o subject_a that_o the_o body_n of_o heaven_n be_v finite_a he_o desire_v in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o know_v of_o what_o form_n it_o be_v and_o in_o what_o manner_n it_o be_v bound_v with_o the_o superficies_n that_o compass_v it_o round_o about_o first_o of_o all_o than_o he_o contemplate_v the_o sun_n and_o moon_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o star_n and_o see_v that_o all_o of_o they_o arise_v in_o the_o east_n and_o set_v in_o the_o west_n he_o see_v also_o that_o those_o heavenly_a light_n which_o pass_v direct_o over_o his_o head_n describe_v a_o large_a circle_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o those_o which_o decline_v from_o the_o vertical_a point_n towards_o the_o north_n or_o south_n describe_v a_o less_o one_o and_o that_o every_o one_o of_o they_o as_o it_o move_v at_o a_o great_a distance_n from_o the_o vertical_a point_n towards_o either_o pole_n describe_v a_o lesser_a circle_n than_o that_o which_o be_v near_o to_o it_o so_o that_o the_o least_o circle_n wherein_o the_o star_n move_v be_v those_o two_o which_o be_v near_a the_o pole_n namely_o the_o circle_n of_o the_o star_n sohail_n that_o be_v canopus_n which_o be_v near_a the_o southern_a pole_n and_o the_o circle_n alpharkadain_n which_o be_v next_o the_o northern_a and_o whereas_o he_o dwell_v in_o a_o island_n situate_v near_o the_o equinoctial_a as_o we_o before_o show_v all_o these_o circle_n be_v straight_o towards_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o horizon_n and_o have_v alike_o reference_n to_o the_o north_n and_o south_n see_v both_o the_o pole_n appear_v to_o he_o at_o once_o withal_o he_o observe_v that_o when_o one_o star_n arise_v in_o a_o large_a circle_n and_o another_o in_o a_o less_o so_o that_o they_o arise_v both_o together_o that_o both_o of_o they_o also_o set_v at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o this_o he_o observe_v to_o be_v alike_o true_a and_o the_o same_o in_o all_o sort_n of_o star_n and_o at_o all_o time_n and_o from_o hence_o it_o be_v evident_a to_o he_o that_o the_o heaven_n be_v of_o a_o spherical_a figure_n which_o truth_n be_v also_o far_o confirm_v unto_o he_o from_o what_o he_o see_v of_o the_o return_n of_o the_o sun_n moon_n and_o the_o other_o star_n to_o the_o east_n after_o their_o set_n in_o the_o west_n as_o also_o in_o that_o they_o all_o appear_v to_o his_o eye_n in_o the_o same_o proportion_n of_o magnitude_n both_o when_o they_o arise_v and_o when_o they_o set_v as_o also_o when_o they_o be_v get_v up_o to_o the_o height_n and_o midst_n of_o the_o heaven_n for_o if_o their_o motion_n have_v be_v any_o other_o than_o circular_a they_o must_v needs_o at_o some_o time_n have_v be_v near_o to_o his_o sight_n than_o at_o other_o time_n and_o if_o so_o their_o dimension_n and_o magnitude_n will_v not_o always_o have_v appear_v the_o same_o but_o various_a see_v that_o they_o will_v have_v appear_v big_a when_o they_o be_v near_o to_o he_o than_o when_o they_o be_v far_o off_o but_o whenas_o he_o see_v no_o such_o diversity_n in_o their_o appearance_n he_o be_v well_o assure_v that_o the_o figure_n of_o heaven_n be_v spherical_a then_o he_o proceed_v onward_o to_o observe_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o moon_n and_o see_v that_o it_o be_v carry_v from_o the_o east_n towards_o the_o west_n or_o perchance_o from_o the_o west_n to_o the_o east_n as_o the_o other_o planet_n be_v in_o like_a manner_n so_o that_o at_o length_n a_o great_a part_n of_o astronomy_n become_v know_v to_o he_o it_o appear_v also_o to_o he_o that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o planet_n be_v in_o different_a sphere_n all_o which_o be_v comprehend_v in_o another_o that_o be_v above_o they_o all_o and_o which_o turn_v about_o all_o the_o rest_n in_o the_o space_n of_o a_o day_n and_o a_o night_n but_o it_o be_v too_o
