course_n of_o the_o planet_n for_o if_o our_o ancestor_n have_v use_v that_o diligence_n which_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v in_o decipher_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o in_o rectify_v the_o true_a place_n of_o the_o fix_a star_n according_a to_o their_o longitude_n and_o latitude_n we_o may_v then_o have_v spare_v that_o labour_n which_o we_o bestow_v in_o the_o two_o first_o chapter_n and_o may_v present_o have_v declare_v those_o thing_n which_o concern_v the_o star_n itself_o who_o description_n we_o have_v undertake_v therefore_o i_o think_v it_o fit_a to_o prefix_v some_o observation_n concern_v the_o sun_n the_o moon_n and_o the_o fix_a star_n because_o we_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o mention_v they_o hereafter_o now_o in_o the_o other_o part_n of_o this_o book_n i_o have_v faithful_o and_o accurate_o exhibit_v out_o of_o our_o own_o observation_n these_o thing_n which_o proper_o appertain_v to_o this_o new_a star_n and_o after_o that_o i_o have_v declare_v these_o observation_n which_o can_v be_v gather_v either_o by_o ocular_a animadversion_n or_o by_o the_o extrinsecall_a adjunct_n thereunto_o belong_v i_o have_v also_o set_v down_o the_o form_n and_o use_v of_o those_o instrument_n that_o so_o the_o certainty_n thereof_o may_v appear_v after_o this_o i_o demonstrate_v the_o very_a place_n of_o the_o star_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o ecliptic_a and_o equator_fw-la and_o by_o work_v of_o the_o small_a division_n at_o last_o reduce_v they_o into_o whole_a number_n and_o so_o pass_v to_o the_o unfolding_n of_o the_o paralax_n i_o have_v clear_o prove_v by_o divers_a invincible_a reason_n that_o it_o have_v none_o at_o all_o and_o that_o it_o be_v exalt_v not_o only_o above_o the_o elementary_a region_n and_o the_o confine_n of_o the_o moon_n but_o far_o beyond_o the_o orb_n of_o the_o planet_n even_o to_o the_o high_a sphere_n of_o the_o fix_a star_n and_o so_o at_o last_o i_o have_v measure_v his_o true_a magnitude_n and_o that_o i_o may_v the_o more_o true_o compare_v it_o both_o to_o the_o earth_n and_o to_o the_o celestial_a body_n i_o have_v also_o prescribe_v the_o order_n and_o quantity_n of_o the_o planet_n and_o fix_v star_n according_a as_o they_o be_v place_v in_o the_o heaven_n though_o somewhat_o different_a from_o my_o predecessor_n in_o the_o same_o kind_n last_o in_o the_o three_o partition_n i_o have_v compare_v the_o opinion_n of_o other_o man_n concern_v this_o matter_n and_o have_v examine_v they_o by_o the_o touchstone_n of_o truth_n and_o first_o i_o have_v show_v their_o consent_n who_o in_o this_o do_v agree_v with_o we_o that_o this_o star_n do_v admit_v of_o no_o particular_a and_o next_o their_o assertion_n who_o do_v attribute_n unto_o it_o some_o diversity_n of_o aspect_n yet_o not_o so_o great_a as_o to_o make_v it_o sublunary_a in_o the_o three_o place_n i_o have_v search_v out_o their_o supposition_n who_o have_v determine_v nothing_o mathematical_o concern_v it_o but_o have_v bring_v in_o some_o absurd_a conjecture_n far_o differ_v from_o the_o truth_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o new_a star_n but_o that_o it_o receive_v a_o accidental_a light_n from_o some_o of_o the_o old_a star_n while_o some_o again_o endeavour_v to_o thrust_v it_o out_o of_o the_o heaven_n and_o to_o place_v it_o near_o the_o moon_n have_v draw_v it_o down_o to_o the_o aethereal_a element_n and_o so_o in_o the_o three_o last_o chapter_n i_o have_v weigh_v their_o opinion_n who_o have_v either_o come_v near_o unto_o the_o truth_n or_o wander_v from_o it_o concern_v this_o new_a star_n which_o i_o have_v do_v that_o so_o the_o truth_n may_v appear_v and_o shine_v forth_o more_o clear_o and_o not_o by_o flattery_n to_o obtain_v the_o favour_n of_o any_o one_o by_o recite_v their_o opinion_n who_o have_v judge_v somewhat_o near_o the_o matter_n nor_o yet_o to_o inveigh_v against_o those_o who_o have_v produce_v strange_a conceit_n very_o wide_a from_o the_o purpose_n but_o i_o have_v only_o take_v care_n that_o the_o truth_n may_v not_o be_v violate_v in_o any_o thing_n but_o have_v endeavour_v to_o suppress_v their_o boast_a endeavour_n who_o either_o through_o ignorance_n or_o wilfulness_n have_v oppose_v themselves_o against_o it_o and_o have_v open_o reject_v and_o confute_v their_o erroneous_a opinion_n for_o so_o the_o truth_n shall_v be_v more_o easy_o bring_v to_o light_n not_o only_o by_o induce_v probable_a conceit_n but_o also_o by_o remove_v contrary_a and_o erroneous_a supponsion_n but_o when_o i_o consider_v with_o myself_o how_o many_o vain_a opinion_n there_o have_v be_v concern_v this_o star_n both_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o situation_n and_o distance_n from_o the_o earth_n when_o yet_o they_o be_v more_o easy_a to_o be_v find_v out_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o immobilitie_n of_o the_o star_n and_o in_o that_o it_o appear_v always_o above_o the_o horizon_n than_o in_o comet_n which_o be_v allot_v some_o motion_n i_o do_v not_o so_o much_o wonder_n at_o it_o see_v not_o only_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o star_n be_v not_o hitherto_o declare_v in_o such_o a_o accurate_a manner_n as_o be_v fit_v but_o also_o that_o there_o do_v so_o many_o question_n and_o controversy_n arise_v in_o philosophy_n and_o divinity_n for_o if_o that_o which_o plain_o appear_v to_o the_o sight_n and_o may_v easy_o be_v measure_v and_o demonstrate_v geometrical_o by_o fit_a instrument_n be_v yet_o subject_a to_o so_o great_a variety_n and_o difference_n of_o judgement_n how_o much_o more_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o discernible_a by_o the_o sense_n nor_o subject_n to_o human_a industry_n but_o be_v so_o full_a of_o doubt_n and_o perplexity_n that_o truth_n which_o be_v always_o but_o one_o as_o the_o centre_n in_o the_o circie_n be_v very_o hardly_o or_o never_o find_v out_o hence_o arise_v so_o great_a a_o confusion_n of_o opinion_n in_o every_o science_n and_o divers_a several_a question_n be_v discuss_v not_o only_o in_o natural_a philosophy_n but_o also_o in_o divine_a and_o moral_a matter_n that_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o find_v out_o and_o firm_o to_o establish_v any_o certainty_n which_o may_v be_v equal_a to_o geometrical_a demonstration_n or_o which_o can_v be_v contradict_v such_o be_v the_o blind_a apprehension_n of_o man_n nature_n and_o in_o such_o a_o darkness_n of_o error_n do_v we_o spend_v our_o day_n here_o on_o earth_n and_o therefore_o move_v by_o these_o consideration_n i_o have_v illustrate_v and_o discover_v whatsoever_o i_o think_v do_v belong_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o unusual_a star_n both_o by_o declare_v the_o true_a nature_n thereof_o as_o also_o by_o detect_v the_o error_n of_o divers_a and_o sundry_a writer_n now_o there_o remain_v yet_o two_o other_o question_n to_o be_v unfold_v whereof_o the_o one_o be_v physical_a concern_v the_o matter_n and_o procreation_n of_o this_o star_n the_o other_o astrological_a concern_v the_o effect_n and_o signification_n thereof_o whereof_o i_o purpose_v not_o to_o entreat_v serious_o or_o by_o way_n of_o judicial_a divination_n to_o set_v down_o any_o certainty_n in_o this_o present_a work_n in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o sense_n nor_o to_o any_o geometriall_a demonstration_n but_o be_v only_o ground_v upon_o probable_a conjecture_n and_o not_o on_o mathematical_a principle_n yet_o nevertheless_o because_o many_o do_v desire_v a_o physical_a and_o prognosticall_a explanation_n of_o this_o star_n and_o be_v very_o desirous_a to_o see_v they_o set_v forth_o especial_o the_o latter_a therefore_o for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o their_o mind_n i_o will_v declare_v my_o opinion_n concern_v this_o star_n but_o yet_o with_o this_o caution_n that_o those_o thing_n which_o i_o shall_v disclose_v be_v not_o to_o be_v compare_v in_o respect_n of_o their_o indubitable_a certainty_n with_o that_o which_o i_o have_v propound_v demonstrative_o in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o my_o book_n for_o these_o prognostic_n matter_n be_v ground_v only_o upon_o conjectural_a probability_n therefore_o i_o will_v not_o insist_v long_o upon_o they_o but_o speak_v of_o they_o as_o brief_o as_o i_o may_v and_o for_o this_o purpose_n i_o have_v reserve_v they_o to_o be_v handle_v here_o in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o my_o whole_a book_n that_o so_o i_o may_v the_o
