A28817	A new treatise proving a multiplicity of worlds that the planets are regions inhabited and the earth a star, and that it is out of the center of the world in a third heaven, and turns round before the sun which is fixed : and other most rare and curious things / by Peter Borell ...; Discours nouveau prouvant la pluralité des mondes. English	Borel, Pierre, 1620?-1671.; Sashott, D.	1658 (1658)	Wing B3753; ESTC R19665	37,952	224

although_o it_o shall_v all_o be_v burn_v insomuch_o that_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o say_v that_o the_o other_o star_n who_o body_n be_v so_o great_a in_o comparison_n of_o this_o our_o little_a

all_o philosopher_n and_o astrologer_n be_v agree_v that_o the_o earth_n and_o moon_n have_v this_o common_a between_o they_o that_o they_o both_o be_v thick_a gross_a dark_a and_o solid_a body_n
