i_o will_v very_o glad_o understand_v how_o and_o why_o these_o corruptive_a contrary_n be_v so_o favourable_a to_o daw_n and_o so_o cruel_a to_o dove_n so_o indulgent_a to_o stag_n and_o so_o hasty_a to_o horse_n that_o they_o do_v grant_v to_o they_o many_o more_o year_n of_o life_n that_o be_v of_o incorruptibility_n than_o week_n to_o these_o peach_n and_o olive_n be_v plant_v in_o the_o same_o soil_n expose_v to_o the_o same_o heat_n and_o cold_a to_o the_o same_o wind_n and_o rain_n and_o in_o a_o word_n to_o the_o same_o contrariety_n and_o yet_o those_o decay_n in_o a_o short_a time_n and_o these_o live_v many_o hundred_o year_n furthermore_o i_o never_o be_v thorough_o satisfy_v about_o this_o substantial_a transmutation_n still_o keep_v within_o pure_a natural_a bound_n whereby_o a_o matter_n become_v so_o transform_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v necessary_o say_v to_o be_v destroy_v so_o that_o nothing_o remain_v of_o its_o first_o be_v and_o that_o another_o body_n quite_o differ_v therefrom_o shall_v be_v thence_o produce_v aspect_n and_o if_o i_o fancy_v to_o myself_o a_o body_n under_o one_o aspect_n and_o by_o and_o by_o under_o another_o very_a different_a i_o can_v think_v it_o impossible_a but_o that_o it_o may_v happen_v by_o a_o simple_a transposition_n of_o part_n without_o corrupt_v or_o engender_v any_o thing_n anew_o for_o we_o see_v such_o kind_n of_o metamorphosis_n daily_o so_o that_o to_o return_v to_o my_o purpose_n i_o answer_v you_o that_o inasmuch_o as_o you_o go_v about_o to_o persuade_v i_o that_o the_o earth_n can_v not_o move_v circular_o by_o way_n of_o corruptibility_n and_o generability_n you_o have_v undertake_v a_o much_o hard_a task_n than_o i_o that_o with_o argument_n more_o difficult_a indeed_o but_o no_o less_o conclude_v will_v prove_v the_o contrary_n sagr._fw-la pardon_v i_o salviatus_fw-la if_o i_o interrupt_v your_o discourse_n which_o as_o it_o delight_v i_o much_o for_o that_o i_o also_o be_o gravel_v with_o the_o same_o doubt_n so_o i_o fear_v that_o you_o can_v never_o conclude_v the_o same_o without_o altogether_o digress_v from_o your_o chief_a design_n therefore_o if_o it_o be_v permit_v to_o proceed_v in_o our_o first_o argument_n i_o shall_v think_v that_o it_o be_v convenient_a to_o remit_v this_o question_n of_o generation_n and_o corruption_n to_o another_o distinct_a and_o single_a conference_n as_o also_o if_o it_o shall_v please_v you_o and_o simplicius_n we_o may_v do_v by_o other_o particular_a question_n which_o may_v fall_v in_o the_o way_n of_o our_o discourse_n which_o i_o will_v keep_v in_o my_o mind_n to_o propose_v and_o exact_o discuss_v they_o some_o other_o time_n now_o as_o for_o the_o present_a since_o you_o say_v that_o if_o aristotle_n deny_v circular_a motion_n to_o the_o earth_n in_o common_a with_o other_o body_n celestial_a it_o thence_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o same_o which_o befall_v the_o earth_n as_o to_o its_o be_v generable_a alterable_a etc._n etc._n will_v hold_v also_o of_o heaven_n let_v we_o inquire_v no_o further_o if_o there_o be_v such_o thing_n in_o nature_n as_o generation_n and_o corruption_n or_o not_o but_o let_v we_o return_v to_o inquire_v what_o the_o globe_n of_o the_o earth_n do_v simpl._n i_o can_v suffer_v my_o ear_n to_o hear_v it_o question_v whether_o generation_n and_o corruption_n be_v in_o rerum_fw-la naturâ_fw-la it_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v continual_o before_o our_o eye_n maintain_v and_o whereof_o aristotle_n have_v write_v two_o whole_a book_n but_o if_o you_o go_v about_o to_o deny_v the_o principle_n of_o science_n and_o question_v thing_n most_o manifest_a who_o know_v not_o but_o that_o you_o may_v prove_v what_o you_o will_v and_o maintain_v any_o paradox_n and_o if_o you_o do_v not_o daily_o see_v herb_n plant_n animal_n to_o generate_v and_o corrupt_v what_o be_v it_o that_o you_o do_v see_v also_o do_v you_o not_o continual_o behold_v contrariety_n contend_v together_o and_o the_o earth_n change_n into_o water_n the_o water_n turn_v to_o air_n the_o air_n into_o fire_n and_o again_o the_o air_n to_o condense_a into_o cloud_n rains_n hail_n and_o storm_n sagr._fw-la yes_o we_o see_v these_o thing_n indeed_o and_o therefore_o will_v grant_v you_o the_o discourse_n of_o aristotle_n as_o to_o this_o part_n of_o generation_n and_o corruption_n make_v by_o contrary_n but_o if_o i_o shall_v conclude_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o same_o proposition_n which_o be_v grant_v to_o aristotle_n that_o the_o celestial_a body_n themselves_o be_v also_o generable_a and_o corruptible_a aswell_o as_o the_o elementary_a what_o will_v you_o say_v then_o simpl._n i_o will_v say_v you_o have_v do_v that_o which_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v do_v sagr._fw-la go_v to_o tell_v i_o simplicius_n be_v not_o these_o affection_n contrary_a to_o one_o another_o simpl._n which_o sagr._fw-la why_o these_o alterable_a unalterable_a passable_a impatible_a impassable_a generable_a ingenerable_a corruptible_a incorruptible_a simpl._n they_o be_v most_o contrary_a sagr._fw-la well_o then_o if_o this_o be_v true_a and_o it_o be_v also_o grant_v that_o celestial_a body_n be_v ingenerable_a and_o incorruptible_a i_o prove_v that_o of_o necessity_n celestial_a body_n must_v be_v generable_a and_o corruptible_a simpl._n this_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o sophism_n sagr._fw-la hear_v my_o argument_n incorruptible_a and_o then_o censure_n and_o resolve_v it_o celestial_a body_n for_o that_o they_o be_v ingenerable_a and_o incorruptible_a have_v in_o nature_n their_o contrary_n which_o be_v those_o body_n that_o be_v generable_a and_o corruptible_a but_o where_o there_o be_v contrariety_n there_o be_v also_o generation_n and_o corruption_n therefore_o celestial_a body_n be_v generable_a and_o corruptible_a simpl._n do_v i_o not_o say_v it_o can_v be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o sophism_n this_o be_v one_o of_o those_o fork_a argument_n call_v soritae_fw-la 〈◊〉_d like_o that_o of_o the_o cretan_a who_o say_v that_o all_o cretan_n be_v liar_n but_o he_o as_o be_v a_o cretan_a have_v tell_v a_o lie_n in_o say_v that_o the_o cretan_n be_v liar_n it_o follow_v therefore_o that_o the_o cretan_n be_v no_o liar_n and_o consequent_o that_o he_o as_o be_v a_o cretan_a have_v speak_v truth_n and_o yet_o in_o say_v the_o cretan_n be_v liar_n he_o have_v say_v true_a and_o comprehend_v himself_o as_o a_o cretan_a he_o must_v consequent_o be_v a_o liar_n and_o thus_o in_o these_o kind_n of_o sophism_n a_o man_n may_v dwell_v to_o eternity_n and_o never_o come_v to_o any_o conclusion_n sagr._fw-la you_o have_v hitherto_o censure_v it_o it_o remain_v now_o that_o you_o answer_v it_o show_v the_o fallacy_n simpl._n as_o to_o the_o resolve_v of_o it_o and_o find_v out_o its_o fallacy_n do_v you_o not_o in_o the_o first_o place_n see_v a_o manifest_a contradiction_n in_o it_o celestial_a body_n be_v ingenerable_a and_o incorruptible_a ergo_fw-la celestial_a body_n be_v generable_a and_o corruptible_a contrariety_n and_o again_o the_o contrariety_n be_v not_o betwixt_o the_o celestial_a body_n but_o betwixt_o the_o element_n which_o have_v the_o contrariety_n of_o the_o motion_n sursùm_fw-la and_o deorsùm_fw-la and_o of_o levity_n and_o gravity_n but_o the_o heaven_n which_o move_v circular_o to_o which_o motion_n no_o other_o motion_n be_v contrary_a want_v contrariety_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v incorruptible_a sagr._fw-la fair_a and_o soft_o simplicius_n this_o contrariety_n whereby_o you_o say_v some_o simple_a body_n become_v corruptible_a reside_v it_o in_o the_o same_o body_n which_o be_v corrupt_v or_o else_o have_v it_o relation_n to_o some_o other_o i_o say_v if_o for_o example_n humidity_n by_o which_o a_o piece_n of_o earth_n be_v corrupt_v reside_v it_o in_o the_o same_o earth_n or_o in_o some_o other_o body_n which_o must_v either_o be_v the_o air_n or_o water_n i_o believe_v you_o will_v grant_v that_o like_o as_o the_o motion_n upward_o and_o downward_o and_o gravity_n and_o levity_n which_o you_o make_v the_o first_o contrary_n can_v be_v in_o the_o same_o subject_a so_o neither_o can_v moist_a and_o dry_a hot_a and_o cold_a you_o must_v therefore_o consequent_o acknowledge_v that_o when_o a_o body_n corrupt_v corrupt_v it_o be_v occasion_v by_o some_o quality_n reside_v in_o another_o contrary_n to_o its_o own_o therefore_o to_o make_v the_o celestial_a body_n become_v corruptible_a it_o suffice_v that_o there_o be_v in_o nature_n body_n that_o have_v a_o contrariety_n to_o that_o celestial_a body_n and_o such_o be_v the_o element_n if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o corruptibility_n be_v contrary_a to_o incorruptibility_n simpl._n this_o suffice_v not_o sir_n the_o element_n alter_v and_o corrupt_v because_o they_o be_v intermix_v and_o be_v join_v to_o one_o another_o and_o so_o may_v exercise_v their_o contrariety_n element_n but_o celestial_a body_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o element_n by_o which_o they_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o touch_v
