yet_o i_o know_v not_o where_o to_o begin_v for_o to_o a_o person_n who_o understand_v nothing_o of_o natural_a philosophy_n you_o must_v go_v a_o great_a way_n about_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o earth_n may_v be_v a_o planet_n the_o planet_n so_o many_o earth_n and_o all_o the_o star_n world_n however_o to_o give_v she_o a_o general_a notion_n of_o philosophy_n i_o at_o last_o resolve_v on_o this_o method_n all_o philososophy_n say_v i_o madam_n be_v found_v upon_o two_o thing_n either_o that_o we_o be_v too_o short_a sight_v or_o that_o we_o be_v too_o curious_a for_o if_o our_o eye_n be_v better_a than_o they_o be_v we_o shall_v soon_o see_v whether_o the_o star_n be_v world_n or_o not_o and_o if_o on_o the_o other_o side_n we_o be_v less_o curious_a we_o shall_v not_o care_v whether_o the_o star_n be_v world_n or_o not_o which_o i_o think_v be_v much_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n but_o the_o business_n be_v we_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o know_v more_o than_o we_o see_v and_o again_o if_o we_o can_v discern_v well_o what_o we_o do_v see_v it_o will_v be_v so_o much_o know_v to_o we_o but_o we_o see_v thing_n quite_o otherwise_o than_o they_o be_v so_o that_o your_o true_a philosopher_n will_v not_o believe_v what_o he_o do_v see_v and_o be_v always_o conjecture_v at_o what_o he_o do_v not_o which_o be_v a_o life_n i_o think_v not_o much_o to_o be_v envy_v upon_o this_o i_o fancy_n to_o myself_o that_o nature_n very_o much_o resemble_v a_o opera_fw-la where_o you_o stand_v you_o do_v not_o see_v the_o stage_n as_o real_o it_o be_v but_o it_o be_v place_v with_o advantage_n and_o all_o the_o wheel_n and_o movement_n be_v hide_v to_o make_v the_o representation_n the_o more_o agreeable_a nor_o do_v you_o trouble_v yourself_o how_o or_o by_o what_o mean_v the_o machine_n be_v move_v though_o certain_o a_o engineer_n in_o the_o pit_n be_v affect_v with_o what_o do_v not_o touch_v you_o he_o be_v please_v with_o the_o motion_n and_o be_v demonstrate_v to_o himself_o on_o what_o it_o depend_v and_o how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v this_o engineer_n than_o be_v like_o a_o philosopher_n though_o the_o difficulty_n be_v great_a on_o the_o philosopher_n part_n the_o machine_n of_o the_o theatre_n be_v nothing_o so_o curious_a as_o those_o of_o nature_n which_o dispose_v her_o wheel_n and_o spring_n so_o out_o of_o sight_n that_o we_o have_v be_v long_o a_o guess_v at_o the_o movement_n of_o the_o universe_n suppose_v then_o the_o sage_n at_o a_o opera_fw-la the_o pithagoras_n the_o plato_n the_o aristotle_n and_o all_o the_o wise_a man_n who_o have_v make_v such_o a_o noise_n in_o the_o world_n for_o these_o many_o age_n we_o will_v suppose_v they_o at_o the_o representation_n of_o phaeton_n where_o they_o see_v the_o aspire_a youth_n lift_v up_o by_o the_o wind_n but_o do_v not_o discover_v the_o wire_n by_o which_o he_o mount_v nor_o know_v they_o any_o thing_n of_o what_o be_v do_v behind_o the_o scene_n will_v you_o have_v all_o these_o philosopher_n own_o themselves_o to_o be_v stark_a fool_n and_o confess_v ingenuous_o they_o know_v not_o how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v no_o no_o they_o be_v not_o call_v wise_a man_n for_o nothing_o though_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o most_o of_o their_o wisdom_n depend_v upon_o the_o ignorance_n of_o their_o neighbour_n every_o man_n present_o give_v his_o opinion_n and_o how_o improbable_a so_o ever_o there_o be_v fool_n enough_o of_o all_o sort_n to_o believe_v they_o one_o tell_v you_o phaeton_n be_v draw_v up_o by_o a_o hide_a magnetic_a virtue_n no_o matter_n where_o it_o lie_v and_o perhaps_o the_o grave_a gentleman_n will_v take_v pet_n if_o you_o ask_v he_o the_o question_n another_o say_v phaeton_n be_v compose_v of_o certain_a number_n that_o make_v he_o mount_v and_o after_o all_o the_o philosopher_n know_v no_o more_o of_o those_o number_n than_o a_o suck_a child_n of_o algebra_n a_o three_o tell_v you_o phaeton_n have_v a_o secret_a love_n for_o the_o top_n of_o the_o theatre_n and_o like_o a_o true_a lover_n can_v be_v at_o rest_n out_o of_o his_o mistress_n company_n with_o a_o hundred_o such_o extravagant_a fancy_n that_o a_o man_n must_v conclude_v the_o old_a sage_n be_v very_o good_a banterer_n but_o now_o come_v monsieur_n descartes_n with_o some_o of_o the_o modern_n and_o they_o tell_v you_o phaeton_n ascend_v because_o a_o great_a weight_n than_o he_o descend_v so_o that_o now_o we_o do_v not_o believe_v a_o body_n can_v move_v without_o it_o be_v push_v and_o force_v by_o another_o body_n and_o as_o it_o be_v draw_v by_o cord_n so_o that_o nothing_o can_v rise_v or_o fall_v but_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o a_o counterpoise_n he_o than_o that_o will_v see_v nature_n real_o as_o she_o be_v must_v stand_v behind_o the_o scene_n at_o the_o opera_fw-la i_o perceive_v say_v the_o countess_n philosophy_n be_v now_o become_v very_o mechanical_a so_o mechanical_a say_v i_o that_o i_o fear_v we_o shall_v quick_o be_v ashamed_a of_o it_o they_o will_v have_v the_o world_n to_o be_v in_o great_a what_o a_o watch_n be_v in_o little_a which_o be_v very_o regular_a and_o depend_v only_o upon_o the_o just_a dispose_n of_o the_o several_a part_n of_o the_o movement_n but_o pray_v tell_v i_o madam_n have_v you_o not_o former_o a_o more_o sublime_a idea_n of_o the_o universe_n do_v you_o not_o think_v you_o do_v then_o honour_v it_o more_o than_o it_o deserve_v for_o most_o have_v the_o less_o esteem_n of_o it_o since_o they_o have_v pretend_v to_o know_v it_o i_o be_o not_o of_o their_o opinion_n say_v she_o i_o value_v it_o the_o more_o since_o i_o know_v it_o resemble_v a_o watch_n and_o the_o whole_a order_n of_o nature_n the_o more_o plain_a and_o easy_a it_o be_v to_o i_o it_o appear_v the_o more_o admirable_a i_o know_v not_o say_v i_o who_o have_v inspire_v you_o with_o these_o solid_a notion_n but_o i_o be_o certain_a there_o be_v few_o that_o have_v they_o beside_o yourself_o people_n general_o admire_v what_o they_o do_v not_o comprehend_v they_o have_v a_o veneration_n for_o obscurity_n and_o look_v upon_o nature_n while_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v she_o as_o a_o kind_n of_o magic_n and_o despise_v she_o below_o legerdemain_n when_o once_o they_o be_v acquaint_v with_o she_o but_o i_o find_v you_o madam_n so_o much_o better_o dispose_v that_o i_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v but_o to_o draw_v the_o curtain_n and_o show_v you_o the_o world._n that_o than_o which_o appear_v far_a from_o the_o earth_n where_o we_o reside_v be_v call_v the_o heaven_n that_o azure_a firmament_n where_o the_o star_n be_v fasten_v like_o so_o many_o nail_n and_o be_v call_v fix_v because_o they_o seem_v to_o have_v no_o other_o motion_n than_o that_o of_o their_o heaven_n which_o carry_v they_o with_o itself_o from_o east_n to_o west_n between_o the_o earth_n and_o this_o great_a vault_n as_o i_o may_v call_v it_o hang_v at_o different_a height_n the_o sun_n and_o the_o moon_n with_o the_o other_o star_n mercury_n venus_n mars_n jupiter_n and_o saturn_n which_o we_o call_v the_o planet_n these_o planet_n not_o be_v fasten_v to_o the_o same_o heaven_n and_o have_v very_o unequal_a motion_n have_v divers_a aspect_n and_o position_n whereas_o the_o fix_a star_n in_o respect_n to_o one_o another_o be_v always_o in_o the_o same_o situation_n for_o example_n charles_n wain_n which_o be_v

so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o planet_n thus_o thing_n appear_v to_o the_o old_a caldoean_a shepherd_n who_o great_a leisure_n do_v produce_v these_o first_o observation_n which_o
