* 1.1FVrthermore, the fire carried vp by the storme could not continue long, if the storme continued not likewise: but what is more in∣credible then that a storme should last long? For one motion is ouercome by his contrary motion: for the place aboue the ayres hath his motion that carrieth the heauens.
And drawes the higher starres with swifter turne,And whirles them round about.
And if thou grant them some remission, which can hardly be done in any sort, what shall we say of comets that continue sixe moneths? Againe, there should be two motions in one place, the one of them diuine and continual, accomplish∣ing his work without intermission, the other fresh & new, being shaken by the storme. Of necessitie therfore, the one must be an impediment to the other. But the motion of the Moone & the course of the other Planets, which are aboue, alwaies obserue their time, neither stop they ••uer, or stay they, nor giueth vs

any suspition of intermission or let in their motion. It is an incredible thing that a storme (which is a kinde of tempest extremely violent and impetuous) should mount as high as mid-heauen, and whirle it selfe amongst the spheares, whose course is so peaceable and gouerned, Put case that a storme enkindleth a fire, and driueth it vp on high, or that it ••ppeareth in a longer forme, yet think I that it must be such as that is which causeth the fire. But the forme of a storme is round, for it turneth in the same place, and is whirled about, after the manner of a cylinder that turneth and rouleth in it selfe: therefore the fire that is inclosed therein must be like vnto the same. But it is long and scattered, and no wayes like vnto that which is round.
