‘‘ As for that other annual Motion of the Spots, you 
fpeak of, from Weft to Eaft, upon their Axis inclin- 
ed above 8 Degrees to the Ecliptick} I fuppole it is 
not any real Motion of the Orbes of thofe Solar Pla- 
nets or Spots, but only a vifible Motion fo appear- 
ing, c'a tiled (in Kepler's Syfteme) by the Suns rolling 
upon its own Center in the rnidft of all the Orbes, 
not exattly in the way of the Temporary Ecliptick, 
but in the Via regia fas Kepler calls it) inclined certain 
Degrees to the Temporary } thereby turning about with 
him, the fame way, his Adventitious, or Excrementi- 
tious Parts, the Spots, by his : Magnet ical or Sywpathe - 
tical Rayes. . And hence may be demonftrated the 
appearance of that Annual Motion in the Suns Spots 
you fpeak of.; See Galtlaus, Syfl. Cofm.p. feq. 
So alfoin Ptolemies and Tycho’s Syfteme, the fame Ap- 
pearance may be demonftrated, fuppofing the © fixed 
in the middle of the tlniverfe, and the © rolling, 
round upon the fame Poles of that Via regia ("or way 
of the Spots) and keeping his Axis in Parallelifm con- 
tinually towards one and the fame Part of the Uni- 
verfe. This may be certainly demonftrated, altho’ 
GaliUus there affirms the contrary. Other Hypothe- 
fes of that Motion may be feigned, as by the annual 
- converiion of the Poles of the Via regia about the 
Poles of the Ecliptick in the Suns Body : But none I 
conceive fo compendious, as the one of the former. 
For my part, I incline to the firft : Yet if when we 
fee you, you fhew us any more likely Theory, for 
my part I (hall be ready to confent to you in any 
thing with reafon. 
“ Thus you have, what for the prefent, I conceive 
of thefe Macula Solares. Fromundus mentions one
