were conſtituted in the centre of the ſaid Ecliptick, and therein

revolved in its ſelf, not about the Axis of the ſaid Ecliptique
<

(which would be the Axis of the Earths annual motion) but

on one inclined, it muſt needs follow, that ſtrange changes will

repreſent themſelves to us in the apparent motions of the Solar

ſpots, although the ſaid Axis of the Sun ſhould be ſuppoſed to
