The ^aturatt andMoratt 



the South declining to the Weaft , which ferve to faite 

 from Weaft to Eaft , are not common in the burning 

 Zone , and therefore they feeke them without the tro* 

 pikes and the Indian Mariners commonly call them 

 lower windes, or Vents dtiba*.

LEt vs now fpeakeof that which toucheth the Que- 

 ftion propounded, what fhouldbe thercafbn whic 

 vnder the burning Zone wee feileeafily from Eaft to 

 Weaft ,and not contrary: wherein wemuft prefuppoie 

 two certaine groundes. The one is, that the motion of 

 the firft moover , which they call Diurnall, notonelie 

 drawes and mooves with him the celeftiall fphear^s, 

 which are inferiour vnto him , as wee fee daily in the 

 funne, themoone, andtheftarres, but alfotheEle- 

 ments do participate of this motion, infbmuch as they 

 are not hindered . The earth is not mooved, by reafon 

 of her heavinefle, which makes it immooveable,being 

 far from this firft motor. The element of water moves 

 not likewife with this Diumall motion , for that it is 

 vnited to the earth and make one fphere,fo as the earth 

 keeps it from all circular motion. Butth'othertwo ele 

 ments of fire & aire,are morefubtil and neerer the hea 

 venly regions, fo as they participate of their motion, 

 and are driven about circularly , as the fame celeftial bo 

 dies. As for the fire, without doubt it hath his fphere, 

 fas AriftttU and other Philofophers have held ) but for 

 the aire(which is no point of our fubiecS) it is rnoft cer- 

 xaine that it mooves with a motion diurnal! , which is
