Philosopher, Author of the Argument, to be so courteous as to teach me in what manner these flexures must be accommodated, so that these three motions may commodiously be excercised; and i grant you 4 or six moneths time to consider an answer. Salv.And but, Simplicius, there is one but worse then this; and it’s, that he makes the Earth transfer by the diurnal motion about its own centre from East to West; and perceives not that if this have been so, the motion of twenty four hours appropriated by him to the Universe, would, in our seeming, proceed from West to East; the fairly opposite to that which we behold. Stars, it would be essential to confesse, that the Horizon, with a contrary motion would go down; and that consequently the Earth would reoolve in it self a contrary approach to that wherewith the Stars appear to maneuver, that is from West to East, which is in line with the order of the Signes of the Zodiack. They are things like to those whereby the Medicean Stars run through the Zodiack in twelve years, and all of the whereas revolve in small circles, and short periods of time about Jupiter.
While it’s true that a number of the wives in polygamous marriages obtain government help (solely the primary spouse is legally married — the others are single mothers), Fundamental Mormons additionally run farms and have building companies. Simpl.They’re these. The Water, the Air, (which doubtlesse are Natures totally different from the Earth) and all issues that are in those parts comprised, shall each of them have these three motions, which Copernicus pretends to be in the Terrestriall Globe;Copernicus erroneously assigneth the identical operations to totally different natures and my Authour proceedeth to reveal Geometrically, that, according to the Copernican Doctrine, a cloud that is suspended within the Air, and that hangeth a long time over our heads with out altering place, must of necessity have all those three motions that belong to the Terrestrial Globe. But without others telling him, ought he not of himself to grasp, that attributing to the Earth the motions which can be taken, certainly one of them from the Sun, and the other from the primum mobile, they should of necessity each transfer one and the identical approach. Copernicus also. The Diurnal movement of the primum cell, is it not from East to West?
Earth to return to their whole, when by violence they are divided from it; they usually onely dissent in the operation of the whole: for the latter of them may have it by an interne principle to face still, and the former ascribeth to it the circular motion. For if he had thought, that neither by assist of flexures, it might be rendered apt for such motions, he would have freely affirmed, that the Globe couldn’t move with three motions. Therefore admitting him what he would show, let us converse to the objection, which in my judgment hath no nice strength to conclude any thing contrary to the Copernican Hypothesis, seeing that it derogates nothing from those motions, and people operations, whereby we come to the information of the natures, &c. Salv.Then from this widespread natural situation of quiescence in regards to the centre, there is no argument drawn of the totally different natures of those Elements, and things elementary, however that information must be collected from other qualities not widespread; and therefore whoso should deprive the elements of this common rest solely, and should go away unto all of them their different operations, would not within the least block up the way that leadeth to the data of their essences.
Simp.The Authour backs his Argument with producing one other absurdity, that is, that the identical motions comply with Natures extreamly different; but experience sheweth, that the operations The range of motions helpeth us in figuring out the variety of natures.and motions of various natures, are totally different; and Reason confirmeth the identical: for otherwise we should don’t have any manner left to know and distinguish of natures, in the event that they mustn’t have their specific motions and operations, that might guide us to the data of their substances. But by your concession, and the confession of this Philosopher, two rules, one to movement, and the opposite to relaxation, are incompatible together, like as their effects are incompatible: however now this evenes not in the two motions, right, and circular, which don’t have any repugnance to each other. We tell him therefore, that the Earth in like manner partaketh of the plurality of motions: and it is maybe the identical, whereby the Loadstone hath its motion downwards, as grave, and two circular motions, one Horizontal, and the opposite Vertical under the Meridian. Simpl.Essentially the most that should be granted upon this, would be, that it could hold true in one single motion, but in three completely different motions, in my view, and that of the Author, it is unimaginable; as he going on, prosecuting the objection, writes in the following phrases.
