much the horns are leſſe, for then the luminous part of the Earth,

expoſed to the Moon, is alway as great as the obſcure part of
<

the Moon, that is viſible to the Earth; whereupon, at ſuch time

as the Moon is ſharp-forked, and conſequently its tenebrous part

great, great alſo is the illuminated part of the Earth beheld from

the Moon, and its reflection of light ſo much the more potent.</
