vcrfall motion, it had an other particular , by which it 

 moved with the planets fro weft to e'aft/or every night 

 it turned more Eaftward, like vnto the Moone,Sunne, 

 and Planet ofcVtnus . Wee did alfo obferve a third par 

 ticular motion, whereby it mooved from the zodiacke 

 towards the North- for after fome nights it was found 

 ncerervnto the Scptentrionall fignes. Anditmaybe 

 this was the reafbn why the great Comet was fooner 

 fcene by thofe that werelbutherly,as at Pern, and later 

 difcovered by them 'oEurope':fot by this third motion 

 (as I have (aide) it approached neerer the Northcrnc 

 Regions. Yet every one may well obferve the differen 

 ces of this motion , fo as wee may well perceive, that 

 many and fundry celeftiall bodies, give their impreffi- 

 ons to the fphere of the aire. In like forte it is moft cer- 

 taine thattheayre mooves with the circular motion of 

 the heaven, from Eft to Weft, which is the firft ground 

 before mentioned. The fecond is no lefle certairie, the 

 which is, that the motion of the aire in thofe parts that 

 are vnder the Line , or neere vnto it, is very fvvift and 

 light, the more it approacheth to the Equinodiall- but 

 the farther offit is from the Line, approching neere the 

 Poles, the more flowe and heavie this motion is. The 

 rcafon heereof is manifcft , for that the moovingof the 

 celeftiall bodies , being the efficient caufeof the moo- 

 ving of the ayre , it muft of neccffitic be more quicke 

 and light , where the celeftiall bodies have their fwift- 

 eft motion. 



To labour to fliew the reafbn why the heaven hath 

 a quicker motion vnder the burning Zone, which is 

 the Line, thenan any other part of the heaven, were to 

 make fmal\accoun t of men : feeing it is eafie to fee in a 

 wheele, that its motion is more flowe and heavy in the
