Part 16

That there is a world in the Moone, hath beene the direct opinion of many ancient, with some moderne Mathematicians, and may probably be deduced from the tenents of others.

Prop. 7.

That those spots and brighter parts which by our sight may be distinguished in the Moone, doe shew the difference betwixt the Sea and Land in that other world.

Prop. 8.

That the spots represent the Sea, and the brighter parts the Land.

Prop. 9.

That there are high Mountaines, deepe vallies, and spacious plaines in the body of the Moone.

Prop. 10.

That there is an Atmo-sphæra, or an orbe of grosse vaporous aire, immediately encompassing the body of the Moone.

Prop. 11.

That as their world is our Moone, so our world is their Moone.

Prop. 12.

That tis probable there may bee such Meteors belonging to that world in the Moone, as there are with us.

Prop. 13.

That tis probable there may be inhabitants in this other World, but of what kinde they are is uncertaine.

FINIS.

Errors and Anomalies:

All but one occurrence of -que is written with a ligature. They have been expanded for this e-text.

though they have for a long time lien neglected so in original: "lain"? +pollous êdê kai oudena noon echontas+ text reads +pellous+; last vowel in +echontas+ unclear both St. Uincentiusand Senafinus "Senafinus" could not be identified, but cannot be Serafinus Aristotle was the viol of Gods wrath spelling "viol" as in original the world is much beholden to Aristotle for all its sciences text reads "it sciences" if there be more worlds than one text reads "more words" [Sidenote] Ecclus. 43. 3. 4. so in original: "Eccles."? [Sidenote to "Ptolome"] I{o} Apost. reading unclear, text not identified: "I^o."? [Sidenote to "Rosa Vrsina"] lib. 4. p. 2. cy. 24, 35. unclear: "ty." or error for "cp."? Hebræonia l. 2. c. 4. text unclear: "Hebraeoma"? and more especially Malapertius text reads "Mulapertius" but never confuted by any solid reason text reads "coufuted" [Sidenote] ... dissertatio / cum Nic. Hill. ... so in original: error for "dissertatio cum Nunc Sid[ereus]" (by Kepler)? vius qui ad experimenta hæc contradicendi animo accesserant so in original it might probably be deduced text reads "de deduced" so Ioach. Rlelicus so in original: "Rheticus"? Others think that there be some bodies text reads "that there some bodies" [Sidenote] So Bede in d. de Mund. constit. single letter illegible: could be "fi" or "à" [Sidenote] Eusebius Nioremb. Hist. Nat. so in original: "Nieremberg" sententiam exsuscitare velit text reads "excuscitare" that earth in the writings of Capernicus and his followers spelling as in original [Sidenote] Lect. ant. l. 1. c. 15. text reads "Lect. aut l. 1" Nay this opposes his owne eye-witnesse text reads "owne-eye-witnesse" that in the Moone there should be any mountaines text reads "thete" Olympus, Atlas, Taurus and Enius text unclear; may be "Emus": for Mt. Aenus? the 47th proposition in the first booke of elements. Therefore the whole line A G is somewhat more than 104 "the 47th proposition" is better known as the Pythagorean theorem. "104" is presumably an error for "1004"; the correct figure is almost 1005 [Sidenote] Plat. de fac. so in original: "Plut"? [Sidenote] Præfat. ad Austrica syd. so in original: "Austriaca" [Sidenote to Cælius] Progym. 1. [Sidenote to Tycho] l. 20. c. 5. notes may be reversed: Tycho Brahe wrote a "Progymnasmata" because of the exuperancy of the light in the other parts so in original: "exsuperancy" because they are farre neerer it than wee text unclear a more chokie soyle like the Ile of Creete spelling as in original: "chalky" in his time tooke especiall notice text reads "looke" but catchword has "tooke" such appearances may be salved some other way so in original [Sidenote] Carolus Malaptius de Heliocyc. so in original: Malapert(i)us 2. Mæslin and Keplar affirme, that they have seene some of these alterations. The words of Mæslin are these (as I finde them cited.) [Sidenote] Disser. 2. cum nunc. Galil. sidenote is attached to Mæslin quote, but work named is by Kepler there are some inhabitants in that Planet text reads "inhabitans" The equality of their nights doth much temper the scorching of the day, and the extreme cold that comes from the one, require some space wording as in original This part of the world is inhabited by men and beasts, and Plantes. text reads "Planets" intellectuares habitatores so in original: "intellectuales"? ex influentia ignili solis adjective "ignilis" may have been invented by author cited but Lessius thinkes that this opinion gives them too much roome text reads "opi/on" at line break hee cals it a terrestriall starre text reads "terrestraill" Pererius fathers it upon Strabus and Rabanus text reads "fathers is"_
