Sol, est fons Lucis, illuminans omnia: sed non penetrantur Radiis ejus Corpora opaca, Terra 1. & Luna; 2. nam jaciunt umbram, in locum oppositum.
Ideò, cum Luna incidit in umbram Terrae, 2. obscuratur: quod vocamus Eclipsin [deliquium] Lunae.
Cùm verò Luna currit inter Solem & Terram, 3. obtegit illum umbrâ suâ: & hoc vocamus Eclipsin Solis, quia nobis adimit prospectum Solis & lucem ejus; nec tamen Sol aliquid patitur, sed Terra.

The Eclipses.
Page 217
The Sun is ye fountain of light, inlightning all things; but the Earth 1. and the Moon 2. being shady Bodies, are not pierced with its Rayes, for they cast a shadow upon the place just over against them.
Therefore, when ye Moon lighteth into the shadow of the Earth it is darkned 2. which we call an Eclipse, or defect.
But when the Moon runneth betwixt the Sun and the Earth 3. it covereth it with its shadow: and this we call the Eclipse of the Sun, because it taketh from us the sight of the sun, and its light; neither doth the Sun for all that fuffer any thing, but the Earth.
