<lb/> <arrow.to.target n="marg147"></arrow.to.target>
<lb/> matter to be mo&longs;t den&longs;e and &longs;olid as the Earth is, which I clearly
<lb/> argue from the unevenne&longs;s of its &longs;uperficies in mo&longs;t places, by means
<lb/> of the many eminencies and cavities di&longs;covered therein by help of
<lb/> the <emph type="italics"/>&longs;ele&longs;cope<emph.end type="italics"/>: of which eminencies there are many all over it, di­
<lb/> rectly re&longs;embling our mo&longs;t &longs;harp and craggy mountains, of which
<lb/> you &longs;hall there perceive &longs;ome extend and run in ledges of an hun­
<lb/> dred miles long; others are contracted into rounder forms; and
<lb/> there are al&longs;o many craggy, &longs;olitary, &longs;teep and cliffy rocks. </s><s>But
<lb/> that of which there are frequente&longs;t appearances, are certain Banks
<lb/> (I u&longs;e this word, becau&longs;e I cannot thing of another that better ex­
<lb/> pre&longs;&longs;eth them) pretty high rai&longs;ed, which environ and inclo&longs;e fields
<lb/> of &longs;everal bigne&longs;&longs;es, and form &longs;undry figures, but for the mo&longs;t part
<lb/> circular; many of which have in the mid&longs;t a mount rai&longs;ed pretty
<lb/> high, and &longs;ome few are repleni&longs;hed with a matter &longs;omewhat ob­
<lb/> &longs;cure, to wit, like to the great &longs;pots di&longs;cerned by the bare eye, and
<lb/> the&longs;e are of the greate&longs;t magnitude; the number moreover of tho&longs;e
<lb/> that are le&longs;&longs;er and le&longs;&longs;er is very great, and yet almo&longs;t all circular.
<lb/> <arrow.to.target n="marg148"></arrow.to.target>
<lb/> Fourthly, like as the &longs;urface of our Globe is di&longs;tingui&longs;hed into two
<lb/> principal parts, namely, into the Terre&longs;trial and Aquatick: &longs;o in
<lb/> the Lunar &longs;urface we di&longs;cern a great di&longs;tinction of &longs;ome great fields
<lb/> more re&longs;plendant, and &longs;ome le&longs;s: who&longs;e a&longs;pect makes me believe,
<lb/> that that of the Earth would &longs;eem very like it, beheld by any one
<lb/> from the Moon, or any other the like di&longs;tance, to be illuminated
<lb/> <arrow.to.target n="marg149"></arrow.to.target>
<lb/> by the Sun: and the &longs;urface of the &longs;ea would appear more ob­
<lb/> &longs;cure, and that of the Earth more bright. </s><s>Fifthly, like as we from
<lb/> the Earth behold the Moon, one while all illuminated, another
<lb/> <arrow.to.target n="marg150"></arrow.to.target>
<lb/> while half; &longs;ometimes more, &longs;ometimes le&longs;s; &longs;ometimes horned,
<lb/> &longs;ometimes wholly invi&longs;ibly; namely, when its ju&longs;t under the Sun
<lb/> beams; &longs;o that the parts which look towards the Earth are dark:
<lb/> Thus in every re&longs;pect, one &longs;tanding in the Moon would &longs;ee the
<lb/> illumination of the Earths &longs;urface by the Sun, with the &longs;ame
<lb/> periods to an hair, and under the &longs;ame changes of figures.
