the_o indies_n die_v there_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o too_o subtle_a air_n of_o the_o place_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o those_o man_n must_v needs_o be_v different_a from_o we_o or_o endue_v with_o more_o robust_a and_o strong_a body_n than_o we_o or_o so_o well_o proportion_v in_o the_o mixture_n of_o the_o element_n that_o that_o air_n can_v be_v obnoxious_a and_o hurtful_a to_o they_o but_o that_o god_n have_v so_o form_v they_o that_o they_o may_v well_o live_v where_o he_o have_v place_v they_o but_o nowhere_o else_o and_o if_o we_o have_v never_o see_v or_o hear_v of_o the_o

the_o burn_a and_o freeze_a zone_n can_v be_v inhabit_v so_o must_v we_o believe_v that_o god_n have_v by_o prevention_n of_o inconvenience_n order_v all_o thing_n for_o the_o best_a here_o also_o may_v be_v object_v the_o incommodity_n and_o incongruence_n that_o may_v befall_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o moon_n viz._n the_o meteor_n as_o the_o cloud_n and_o other_o which_o will_v offend_v they_o and_o will_v hinder_v plant_n to_o grow_v therein_o we_o answer_v to_o this_o that_o those_o meteor_n be_v far_o enough_o from_o it_o and_o that_o rather_o they_o be_v less_o molest_v by_o they_o then_o we_o for_o galileus_n do_v see_v with_o the_o telescope_n that_o it_o do_v not_o rain_v upon_o the_o earth_n of_o the_o moon_n but_o it_o may_v be_v reply_v how_o then_o do_v the_o plant_n grow_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o they_o may_v grow_v in_o it_o not_o only_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o moon_n be_v natural_a humidity_n and_o moisture_n but_o also_o by_o the_o inundation_n of_o its_o river_n as_o in_o egypt_n where_o likewise_o no_o rain_n be_v see_v i_o say_v far_o that_o those_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o moon_n have_v no_o more_o ground_n to_o allege_v these_o objection_n be_v that_o when_o they_o look_v upon_o the_o earth_n through_o the_o mist_n and_o cloud_n that_o encompass_v it_o they_o may_v doubt_v whether_o any_o creature_n can_v be_v contain_v in_o it_o but_o hitherto_o we_o have_v answer_v none_o but_o weak_a objection_n now_o come_v we_o to_o that_o with_o which_o our_o opponent_n do_v arm_v themselves_o chief_o which_o be_v that_o of_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o aristotelist_n who_o as_o the_o otthoman_o aim_v to_o slay_v all_o his_o brother_n that_o he_o may_v reign_v more_o secure_o viz._n to_o beat_v down_o and_o suppress_v all_o opinion_n contrary_a to_o he_o now_o this_o be_v his_o argument_n if_o there_o be_v many_o world_n the_o earth_n of_o those_o world_n will_v move_v towards_o our_o earth_n or_o we_o towards_o that_o of_o the_o other_o world_n and_o so_o the_o other_o element_n of_o the_o other_o world_n will_v reach_v we_o and_o so_o there_o will_v be_v nothing_o but_o a_o great_a tumult_n and_o chaos_n this_o argument_n be_v so_o weak_a that_o magirus_n be_v constrain_v to_o speak_v in_o these_o term_n when_o he_o allege_v it_o not_o be_v himself_o able_a to_o find_v other_o because_o he_o maintain_v not_o the_o truth_n all_o these_o reason_n say_v he_o and_o such_o like_a philosophic_a argument_n can_v perspicuous_o demonstrate_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o world_n and_o charles_n rapineus_n speak_v thus_o that_o it_o can_v but_o weak_o be_v so_o persuade_v aristoteles_n can_v not_o comprehend_v what_o we_o have_v above_o say_v viz._n that_o each_o world_n have_v its_o centre_n whereunto_o tend_v those_o heavy_a body_n that_o be_v in_o its_o sphere_n but_o he_o argument_v upon_o a_o false_a foundation_n make_v the_o earth_n to_o be_v the_o centre_n of_o all_o the_o world_n and_o allot_v but_o one_o centre_n for_o all_o his_o argument_n will_v be_v good_a if_o his_o ground_n be_v good_a for_o what_o he_o say_v be_v true_a it_o will_v be_v requisite_a that_o all_o heavy_a and_o ponderous_a thing_n shall_v tend_v towards_o our_o centre_n but_o there_o be_v many_o they_o also_o go_v into_o divers_a centre_n for_o each_o star_n have_v its_o centre_n that_o uphold_v it_o and_o though_o it_o be_v of_o a_o ponderous_a nature_n yet_o be_v it_o light_n in_o itself_o have_v thus_o answer_v and_o so_o plain_o and_o full_o resolve_v the_o objection_n of_o aristoteles_n the_o grand_a prince_n of_o philosopher_n what_o may_v they_o expect_v who_o have_v not_o such_o pregnant_a objection_n as_o he_o chap._n xxxii_o continue_v the_o solution_n of_o divers_a philosopher_n
