make_v they_o so_o thick_a they_o answer_v that_o the_o thick_a the_o wall_n be_v the_o warm_a be_v they_o in_o winter_n and_o cool_a in_o summer_n for_o their_o thickness_n keep_v out_o both_o cold_a and_o heat_n last_o she_o ask_v why_o they_o arch_v their_o roof_n and_o make_v so_o many_o pillar_n they_o reply_v that_o arch_n and_o pillar_n do_v not_o only_o grace_v a_o building_n very_o much_o and_o cause_v it_o to_o appear_v magnificent_a but_o make_v it_o also_o firm_a and_o last_a the_o empress_n be_v very_o well_o satisfy_v with_o their_o answer_n and_o after_o some_o time_n when_o she_o think_v that_o her_o new_a found_v society_n of_o the_o vertuoso_n have_v make_v a_o good_a progress_n in_o the_o several_a employment_n she_o have_v put_v they_o upon_o she_o cause_v a_o convocation_n first_o of_o the_o bird-man_n and_o command_v they_o to_o give_v she_o a_o true_a relation_n of_o the_o two_o celestial_a body_n viz._n the_o sun_n and_o moon_n which_o they_o do_v with_o all_o the_o obedience_n and_o faithfulness_n befit_v their_o duty_n the_o sun_n as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v observe_v they_o relate_v to_o be_v a_o firm_a or_o solid_a stone_n of_o a_o vast_a bigness_n of_o colour_n yellowish_a and_o of_o a_o extraordinary_a splendour_n but_o the_o moon_n they_o say_v be_v of_o a_o whitish_a colour_n and_o although_o she_o look_v dim_a in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o sun_n yet_o have_v she_o her_o own_o light_n and_o be_v a_o shine_a body_n of_o herself_o as_o may_v be_v perceive_v by_o her_o vigorous_a appearance_n in_o moon-shiny-night_n the_o difference_n only_o betwixt_o her_o own_o and_o the_o sun_n light_n be_v that_o the_o sun_n do_v strike_v his_o beam_n in_o a_o direct_a line_n but_o the_o moon_n never_o respect_v the_o centre_n of_o their_o world_n in_o a_o right_a line_n but_o her_o centre_n be_v always_o excentrical_a the_o spot_n both_o in_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n as_o far_o as_o they_o be_v able_a to_o perceive_v they_o affirm_v to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o flaw_n and_o stain_n of_o their_o stony_a body_n concern_v the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n they_o be_v not_o of_o one_o opinion_n some_o will_v have_v the_o sun_n hot_a in_o itself_o allege_v a_o old_a tradition_n that_o it_o shall_v at_o some_o time_n break_v asunder_o and_o burn_v the_o heaven_n and_o consume_v this_o world_n into_o hot_a embers_o which_o say_v they_o can_v not_o be_v do_v if_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o fiery_a of_o itself_o other_o again_o say_v this_o opinion_n can_v not_o stand_v with_o reason_n for_o fire_n be_v a_o destroyer_n of_o all_o thing_n the_o sun-stone_n after_o this_o manner_n will_v burn_v up_o all_o the_o near_a adjoin_a body_n beside_o say_v they_o fire_n can_v subsist_v without_o fuel_n and_o the_o sun-stone_n have_v nothing_o to_o feed_v on_o will_v in_o a_o short_a time_n consume_v itself_o wherefore_o they_o think_v it_o more_o probable_a that_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o actual_o hot_a but_o only_o by_o the_o reflection_n of_o its_o light_n so_o that_o its_o heat_n be_v a_o effect_n of_o its_o light_n both_o be_v immaterial_a but_o this_o opinion_n again_o be_v laugh_v at_o by_o other_o and_o reject_v as_o ridiculous_a who_o think_v it_o impossible_a that_o one_o immaterial_a shall_v produce_v another_o and_o believe_v that_o both_o the_o light_n and_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n proceed_v from_o a_o swift_a circular_a motion_n of_o the_o aethereal_a globule_n which_o by_o their_o strike_n upon_o the_o optic_a nerve_n cause_v light_n and_o their_o motion_n produce_v heat_n but_o neither_o will_v this_o opinion_n hold_v for_o say_v some_o than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o sight_n of_o animal_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o light_n and_o that_o be_v there_o no_o eye_n there_o will_v be_v no_o light_n which_o be_v against_o all_o sense_n and_o reason_n thus_o they_o argue_v concern_v the_o heat_n and_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o which_o be_v remarkable_a none_o do_v say_v that_o the_o sun_n be_v a_o globous_a fluid_fw-la body_n and_o have_v a_o swift_a circular_a motion_n but_o all_o agree_v it_o be_v fix_v and_o firm_a like_o a_o centre_n and_o therefore_o they_o general_o call_v it_o the_o sun-stone_n then_o the_o empress_n ask_v they_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n do_v often_o appear_v in_o different_a posture_n or_o shape_n as_o sometime_o magnify_v sometime_o diminish_v sometime_o elevate_v otherwhiles_o depress_v now_o throw_v to_o the_o right_n and_o then_o to_o the_o left_a to_o which_o some_o of_o the_o bird-man_n answer_v that_o it_o proceed_v from_o the_o various_a degree_n of_o heat_n and_o cold_a which_o be_v find_v in_o the_o air_n from_o whence_o do_v follow_v a_o differ_a density_n and_o rarity_n and_o likewise_o from_o the_o vapour_n that_o be_v interpose_v whereof_o those_o that_o ascend_v be_v high_o and_o less_o dense_a than_o the_o ambient_fw-la air_n but_o those_o which_o descend_v be_v heavy_a and_o more_o dense_a but_o other_o do_v with_o more_o probability_n affirm_v that_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o various_a pattern_n of_o the_o air_n for_o like_a as_o painter_n do_v not_o copy_v out_o one_o and_o the_o same_o original_n just_a alike_o at_o all_o time_n so_o say_v they_o do_v several_a part_n of_o the_o air_n make_v different_a pattern_n of_o the_o luminous_a body_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n which_o pattern_n as_o several_a copy_n the_o sensitive_a motion_n do_v figure_n out_o in_o the_o substance_n of_o our_o eye_n this_o answer_n the_o empress_n like_v much_o better_a than_o the_o former_a and_o inquire_v further_o what_o opinion_n they_o have_v of_o those_o creature_n that_o be_v call_v the_o mote_n of_o the_o sun_n to_o which_o they_o answer_v that_o they_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o stream_n of_o very_a small_a rare_a and_o transparent_a particle_n through_o which_o the_o sun_n be_v represent_v as_o through_o a_o glass_n for_o if_o they_o be_v not_o transparent_a say_v they_o they_o will_v eclipse_v the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o if_o not_o rare_a and_o of_o a_o airy_a substance_n they_o will_v hinder_v fly_n from_o fly_v in_o the_o air_n at_o least_o retard_v their_o fly_a motion_n nevertheless_o although_o they_o be_v thin_a than_o the_o thin_a vapour_n yet_o be_v they_o not_o so_o thin_a as_o the_o body_n of_o air_n or_o else_o they_o will_v not_o be_v perceptible_a by_o animal_n sight_n then_o the_o empress_n ask_v whether_o they_o be_v live_v creature_n they_o answer_v yes_o because_o they_o do_v increase_v and_o decrease_v and_o be_v nourish_v by_o the_o presence_n and_o starve_v by_o the_o absence_n of_o the_o sun_n have_v thus_o finish_v their_o discourse_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n the_o empress_n desire_v to_o know_v what_o star_n there_o be_v beside_o but_o they_o answer_v that_o they_o can_v perceive_v in_o that_o world_n none_o other_o but_o blaze_a star_n and_o from_o thence_o it_o have_v the_o name_n that_o it_o be_v call_v the_o blazing-world_n and_o these_o blazing-star_n say_v they_o be_v such_o solid_a firm_a and_o shine_a body_n as_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n not_o of_o a_o globular_a but_o of_o several_a sort_n of_o figure_n some_o have_v tail_n and_o some_o other_o kind_n of_o shape_n after_o this_o the_o empress_n ask_v they_o what_o kind_n of_o

some_o body_n be_v only_o subject_a to_o touch_v other_o only_o to_o sight_n and_o other_o only_o to_o smell_v but_o some_o be_v subject_a to_o none_o of_o our_o exterior_a sense_n for_o nature_n be_v

their_o optic_a observation_n through_o the_o several_a sort_n of_o their_o glass_n will_v be_v a_o tedious_a work_n and_o tire_v even_o the_o most_o patient_a reader_n wherefore_o i_o will_v pass_v

which_o in_o lobster_n go_v through_o the_o middle_n of_o their_o tail_n but_o in_o crea-fish_n be_v find_v in_o their_o back_n as_o for_o other_o sort_n of_o fish_n some_o say_v they_o have_v only_o

those_o animal_n that_o live_v by_o the_o respiration_n of_o air_n can_v live_v within_o water_n and_o those_o that_o live_v in_o water_n can_v live_v by_o the_o respiration_n of_o air_n as_o

for_o respiration_n say_v they_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o composition_n and_o division_n of_o part_n and_o the_o motion_n of_o nature_n be_v infinite_o various_a it_o be_v impossible_a that_o
