be_v here_o rehearse_v by_o a_o similitude_n of_o one_o part_n as_o the_o whole_a the_o similitude_n of_o which_o matter_n conceive_v by_o this_o example_n that_o experience_n daily_o teach_v we_o

with_o water_n and_o appear_v so_o out_o of_o the_o water_n like_o a_o apple_n or_o ball_n swim_v above_o the_o water_n who_o one_o half_a show_v out_o of_o the_o water_n and_o the_o other_o half_o hide_v in_o the_o water_n which_o reason_n ptolemy_n do_v not_o allow_v but_o simple_o affirm_v that_o the_o earth_n with_o the_o sea_n and_o water_n make_v one_o round_a body_n by_o fill_v of_o the_o empty_a place_n and_o both_o to_o have_v one_o upper_a face_n also_o vitrwius_fw-la in_o his_o nine_o book_n write_v that_o the_o earth_n be_v place_v in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o world_n and_o be_v natural_o join_v together_o with_o the_o sea_n in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o centre_n but_o what_o the_o form_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v above_o the_o water_n be_v yet_o not_o thorough_o know_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o sea_n which_o run_v between_o it_o in_o diverse_a part_n and_o break_v it_o into_o sundry_a part_n like_v to_o gobbet_n or_o piece_n ptolemy_n affirm_v the_o earth_n to_o be_v know_v unto_o the_o longitude_n of_o the_o half_a circle_n that_o be_v 190._o degree_n without_o any_o run_n between_o of_o the_o sea_n in_o that_o space_n for_o that_o the_o earth_n be_v whole_o join_v together_o but_o into_o latitude_n he_o affirm_v the_o space_n to_o be_v much_o lesser_a as_o 79._o degree_n and_o of_o this_o opinion_n be_v both_o strabo_n and_o aristotle_n by_o the_o

great_o to_o be_v doubt_v although_o the_o learned_a novius_fw-la and_o sundry_a other_o late_a writer_n do_v affirm_v the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o be_v big_a than_o the_o water_n by_o the_o three_o which_o be_v the_o eclipse_n in_o that_o of_o necessity_n the_o earth_n must_v have_v such_o a_o form_n with_o the_o water_n run_v in_o it_o as_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o earth_n frame_v and_o counterfeit_v in_o the_o moon_n eclipse_n in_o that_o the_o shadow_n show_v and_o express_v the_o form_n of_o the_o body_n shadow_v but_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o be_v include_v round_o about_o with_o a_o round_o upper_a face_n the_o wise_a both_o see_v &_o know_v therefore_o the_o whole_a globe_n compound_v of_o the_o earth_n and_o water_n be_v comprehend_v with_o a_o round_o upper_a face_n for_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o moon_n before_o and_o after_o the_o full_a be_v see_v horn_a and_o the_o part_n shadow_v of_o the_o whole_a circle_n be_v easy_o to_o

part_n darken_v be_v always_o discern_v from_o the_o clear_a circumference_n of_o the_o whole_a circle_n emboss_a therefore_o of_o necessity_n must_v the_o begin_n of_o the_o shadow_n which_o

all_o live_a creature_n by_o the_o third_o appear_v that_o the_o opinion_n of_o certain_a peripateticans_n be_v false_a which_o affirm_v the_o water_n to_o be_v ten_o time_n great_a than_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o to_o one_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v ten_o portion_n of_o the_o water_n increase_v but_o seven_o time_n great_a than_o the_o earth_n it_o can_v be_v unless_o the_o earth_n
