As, in the next place, to the opposite movement, the Sun being fixed within the centre of the Zodiack, and the Earth moveable about its circumference, to make the Sun appear unto us to move in regards to the said Zodiack, in accordance with the order of the Signes, it is necessary, that the Earth move in keeping with the identical order, to the end that the Sun may seem to us to possesse alwayes that degree in the Zodiack, that’s opposite to the diploma by which we discover the Earth; and thus the Earth operating, verbi gratia, by Aries, the Sun will appear to run thorow Libra; and the Earth passing thorow the signe Taurus, the Sun will passe thorow Scorpio, and so the Earth going thorow Gemini, the Sun seemeth to go thorow Sagittarius; but that is moving each the identical means, that is in accordance with the order of the signes; as also was the revolution of the Earth about its personal centre.

He asketh me, what are the ideas by which the Terrestrial Globe is moved The identical argument answered by examples of the like motions in other cœlestial our bodies.with the Annual motion via the Zodiack, and with the Diurnal through the Equinoctial about its personal axis. We tell him subsequently, that the Earth in like method partaketh of the plurality of motions: and it is probably the identical, whereby the Loadstone hath its movement downwards, as grave, and two circular motions, one Horizontal, and the opposite Vertical underneath the Meridian. But what more; inform me, Simplicius, between which do you assume this Author would put a larger distinction, ‘twixt right and circular motion, or ‘twixt movement and relaxation?

But I incline relatively to suppose that Nature first made the things themselves, as she greatest liked, and afterwards framed the explanation of men capable of conceiving (although not with out nice pains) some part of her secrets. Philosopher, Author of the Argument, to be so courteous as to teach me in what manner these flexures needs to be accommodated, so that those three motions would possibly commodiously be excercised; and that i grant you 4 or six moneths time to think about a solution. Sagr.But this could be to draw an extra inconvenience upon himself, in that he holdeth, that the bare eye cannot be deceived in judging of the appropriate motion of descending graves, and yet holds that it is deceived in beholding these different motions at such time as its visive vertue is perfected, and augmented to thirty occasions as much because it was earlier than. But though this nice mistake sufficeth to free us from any obligation of a farther enquiry into his objections; yet neverthelesse I shall have them in esteem; as certainly they deserve to be valued a lot earlier than the numerous others of impertinent Antagonists.

I answer, that they’re like to these by which Saturn is moved in regards to the Zodiack in thirty years, and about its own centre in a a lot shorter time alongside the Equinoctial, because the collateral apparition and occultation of its Globes doth evince. But by your concession, and the confession of this Philosopher, two rules, one to motion, and the other to relaxation, are incompatible collectively, like as their effects are incompatible: however now this evenes not in the 2 motions, right, and circular, which don’t have any repugnance to each other. Sagr.Therefore its a proposition lesse improbable to put in a single natural physique two inside ideas, one to proper movement, and the opposite to circular, than two such interne principles one to movement, and the opposite to relaxation. Now both these positions agree to 1 could more rationally ascribe to the Earth two inner principles to the suitable, and circular movement, than two to motion and relaxation. The third is of it self, and voluntarily so consequential to the annual, that we want not hassle our selves (as I shall shew in its place) to study for rules both internal or external, from which, as from its cause, to make it produced.
