Still luminous by his ray. What if that light [ 140 ]

Each Orb a glimps of Light, conveyd so farr

The Makers high magnificence, who built

Officious, but to thee Earths habitant.

From the Suns beam meet Night, her other part

So spacious, and his Line stretcht out so farr;

Invalid that which thee to doubt it movd;

For such vast room in Nature unpossest

This Earth? reciprocal, if Land be there,

Yet not to Earth are those bright Luminaries

Movd contra九九藏書rie with thwart obliquities,

If it presume, might erre in things too high,

By living Soule, desert and desolate,

Admitting Motion in the Heavns, to shew [ 115 ]

Onely to shine, yet scarce to contribute [ 155 ]

Which two great Sexes animate the World,

Fields and Inhabitants: Her spots thou seest [ 145 ]

Where God resides, and ere mid-day arrivd

Who since the Morning hour set out from Heavn

That Man may know he dwells not in his own;

An Ehttｐｓ://ｒead•９9ｃｓｗ•ｃomdifice too large for him to fill,

God to remove his wayes from human sense,

Progressive, retrograde, or standing still,

Sent from her through the wide transpicuous aire,

By his attractive vertue and their own

Travelling East, and with her part averse

Enlightning her by Day, as she by Night

Ordaind for uses to his Lord best known.

Allotted there; and other Suns perhaps

With thir attendant Moons thou wilt descrie

Invisible else above al九_九_藏_書l Starrs, the Wheele [ 135 ]

If Earth industrious of her self fetch Day

Thir wandring course now high, now low, then hid,

Fruits in her softnd Soile, for some to eate

Speed almost Spiritual; mee thou thinkst not slow, [ 110 ]

To the terrestrial Moon be as a Starr

Communicating Male and Femal Light, [ 150 ]

Insensibly three different Motions move? [ 130 ]

In Eden, distance inexpressible

Down to this habitable, which returnes

Though numberless, to his九_九_藏_書 Omnipotence,

Not that I so affirm, though so it seem

The swiftness of those Circles attribute,

By Numbers that have name. But this I urge,

And no advantage gaine. What if the Sun

Incited, dance about him various rounds? [ 125 ]

Nocturnal and Diurnal rhomb supposd,

In six thou seest, and what if sevnth to these

Be Centre to the World, and other Starrs

Or save the Sun his labour, and that swift

Of Day and Night; which needs not thy beleefe,

Light back to theread.99csw.comm, is obvious to dispute.

Which else to several Spheres thou must ascribe,

Lodgd in a small partition, and the rest [ 105 ]

To thee who hast thy dwelling here on Earth.

And for the Heavns wide Circuit, let it speak [ 100 ]

As Clouds, and Clouds may rain, and Rain produce

Stord in each Orb perhaps with some that live.

Placd Heavn from Earth so farr, that earthly sight, [ 120 ]

That to corporeal substances could adde

The Planet Earth, so stedfast though she seem,
