i_o will_v very_o glad_o understand_v how_o and_o why_o these_o corruptive_a contrary_n be_v so_o favourable_a to_o daw_n and_o so_o cruel_a to_o dove_n so_o indulgent_a to_o stag_n and_o so_o hasty_a to_o horse_n that_o they_o do_v grant_v to_o they_o many_o more_o year_n of_o life_n that_o be_v of_o incorruptibility_n than_o week_n to_o these_o peach_n and_o olive_n be_v plant_v in_o the_o same_o soil_n expose_v to_o the_o same_o heat_n and_o cold_a to_o the_o same_o wind_n and_o rain_n and_o in_o a_o word_n to_o the_o same_o contrariety_n and_o yet_o those_o decay_n in_o a_o short_a time_n and_o these_o live_v many_o hundred_o year_n furthermore_o i_o never_o be_v thorough_o satisfy_v about_o this_o substantial_a transmutation_n still_o keep_v within_o pure_a natural_a bound_n whereby_o a_o matter_n become_v so_o transform_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v necessary_o say_v to_o be_v destroy_v so_o that_o nothing_o remain_v of_o its_o first_o be_v and_o that_o another_o body_n quite_o differ_v therefrom_o shall_v be_v thence_o produce_v aspect_n and_o if_o i_o fancy_v to_o myself_o a_o body_n under_o one_o aspect_n and_o by_o and_o by_o under_o another_o very_a different_a i_o can_v think_v it_o impossible_a but_o that_o it_o may_v happen_v by_o a_o simple_a transposition_n of_o part_n without_o corrupt_v or_o engender_v any_o thing_n anew_o for_o we_o see_v such_o kind_n of_o metamorphosis_n daily_o so_o that_o to_o return_v to_o my_o purpose_n i_o answer_v you_o that_o inasmuch_o as_o you_o go_v about_o to_o persuade_v i_o that_o the_o earth_n can_v not_o move_v circular_o by_o way_n of_o corruptibility_n and_o generability_n you_o have_v undertake_v a_o much_o hard_a task_n than_o i_o that_o with_o argument_n more_o difficult_a indeed_o but_o no_o less_o

proceed_v in_o our_o first_o argument_n i_o shall_v think_v that_o it_o be_v convenient_a to_o remit_v this_o question_n of_o generation_n and_o corruption_n to_o another_o distinct_a and_o single_a conference_n as_o also_o if_o it_o shall_v please_v you_o and_o simplicius_n we_o may_v do_v by_o other_o particular_a question_n which_o may_v fall_v in_o the_o way_n of_o our_o discourse_n which_o i_o will_v keep_v in_o my_o mind_n to_o propose_v and_o exact_o discuss_v they_o some_o other_o time_n now_o as_o for_o the_o present_a since_o you_o say_v that_o if_o aristotle_n deny_v circular_a

let_v we_o return_v to_o inquire_v what_o the_o globe_n of_o the_o earth_n do_v simpl._n i_o can_v suffer_v my_o ear_n to_o hear_v it_o question_v whether_o generation_n and_o corruption_n be_v in_o

about_o to_o deny_v the_o principle_n of_o science_n and_o question_v thing_n most_o manifest_a who_o know_v not_o but_o that_o you_o may_v prove_v what_o you_o will_v and_o maintain_v any_o paradox_n

therefore_o celestial_a body_n be_v generable_a and_o corruptible_a simpl._n do_v i_o not_o say_v it_o can_v be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o sophism_n this_o be_v one_o of_o those_o fork_a argument_n

say_v some_o simple_a body_n become_v corruptible_a reside_v it_o in_o the_o same_o body_n which_o be_v corrupt_v or_o else_o have_v it_o relation_n to_o some_o other_o i_o say_v if_o for_o example_n humidity_n by_o which_o a_o piece_n of_o earth_n be_v corrupt_v reside_v it_o in_o the_o same_o earth_n or_o in_o some_o other_o body_n which_o must_v either_o be_v the_o air_n or_o water_n i_o believe_v you_o will_v grant_v that_o like_o as_o the_o motion_n upward_o and_o downward_o and_o gravity_n and_o levity_n which_o you_o make_v the_o first_o contrary_n can_v be_v in_o the_o same_o

quality_n reside_v in_o another_o contrary_n to_o its_o own_o therefore_o to_o make_v the_o celestial_a body_n become_v corruptible_a it_o suffice_v that_o there_o be_v in_o nature_n body_n that_o have_v a_o contrariety_n to_o that_o celestial_a body_n and_o such_o be_v the_o element_n if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o corruptibility_n be_v contrary_a to_o incorruptibility_n simpl._n this_o suffice_v not_o sir_n the_o element_n alter_v and_o corrupt_v because_o they_o be_v intermix_v and_o be_v join_v to_o one_o another_o and_o so_o may_v exercise_v their_o contrariety_n element_n but_o celestial_a body_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o element_n by_o which_o they_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o touch_v

that_o he_o who_o shall_v leave_v in_o the_o element_n all_o those_o motion_n operation_n and_o other_o accident_n by_o which_o their_o nature_n be_v distinguish_v will_v not_o deprive_v we_o of_o the_o power_n of_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o they_o although_o he_o shall_v remove_v those_o operation_n in_o which_o they_o united_o concur_v and_o which_o for_o that_o reason_n be_v of_o no_o use_n for_o the_o distinguish_n of_o those_o nature_n simp_n i_o think_v your_o dissertation_n to_o be_v very_o good_a salv_n but_o that_o the_o earth_n water_n air_n be_v of_o a_o nature_n

as_o a_o undeniable_a truth_n salv_n then_o from_o this_o common_a natural_a condition_n of_o quiescence_n about_o the_o centre_n there_o be_v no_o argument_n draw_v of_o the_o different_a nature_n of_o these_o element_n and_o thing_n elementary_a but_o that_o knowledge_n must_v be_v collect_v from_o other_o quality_n not_o common_a and_o therefore_o whoso_o shall_v deprive_v the_o element_n of_o this_o common_a rest_n only_o and_o shall_v leave_v unto_o they_o all_o their_o other_o operation_n will_v not_o in_o the_o least_o block_n up_o the_o way_n that_o lead_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o their_o essence_n but_o copernicus_n deprive_v they_o only_o of_o this_o common_a rest_n and_o change_v the_o same_o into_o a_o common_a motion_n leave_v they_o gravity_n levity_n the_o motion_n

but_o by_o the_o copernican_n hypothesis_n kind_n body_n that_o agree_v in_o kind_n and_o be_v most_o semblable_a to_o one_o another_o will_v be_v very_o discrepant_a yea_o diametrical_o repugnant_a as_o to_o motion_n for_o that_o star_n so_o like_a to_o one_o another_o will_v be_v nevertheless_o so_o unlike_a in_o motion_n as_o that_o six_o planet_n will_v perpetual_o turn_v round_o but_o the_o sun_n and_o all_o the_o fixeed_n star_n will_v stand_v perpetual_o immovable_a salv_n the_o form_n of_o the_o argument_n appear_v good_a but_o yet_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o application_n or_o

be_v disputable_a which_o of_o they_o move_v and_o which_o stand_v still_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o if_o the_o earth_n stand_v still_o the_o sun_n and_o fix_a star_n do_v move_v and_o it_o be_v also_o possible_a that_o the_o sun_n and_o fix_a star_n may_v stand_v immovable_a in_o case_n the_o earth_n shall_v move_v the_o matter_n of_o fact_n in_o dispute_n be_v to_o which_o of_o they_o we_o may_v with_o most_o convenience_n ascribe_v motion_n and_o to_o which_o rest_n natural_a reason_n dictate_v that_o motion_n ought_v to_o be_v assign_v to_o the_o body_n which_o in_o kind_n and_o essence_n most_o agree_v with_o those_o body_n which_o do_v undoubted_o move_v and_o rest_n to_o those_o which_o most_o dissent_n from_o they_o and_o in_o regard_n that_o a_o eternal_a rest_n and_o perpetual_a motion_n be_v most_o different_a it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o body_n always_o movable_a aught_o to_o be_v most_o different_a from_o the_o body_n always_o stable_a therefore_o in_o regard_n that_o we_o be_v dubious_a of_o motion_n and_o rest_n let_v we_o inquire_v whether_o by_o the_o help_n of_o some_o other_o eminent_a affection_n we_o may_v discover_v which_o most_o agree_v with_o the_o body_n certain_o movable_a either_o the_o earth_n or_o the_o sun_n and_o fix_a star_n but_o see_v how_o nature_n in_o favour_n of_o our_o necessity_n and_o desire_n
