Solar converſion is not parallel to the Axis of the Ecliptick, that
<

is as much as to ſay, that it is not perpendicularly erected upon
<
lb

the Plane of the Ecliptick, becauſe if it were ſo, the courſes and
<
lb

exitions of thoſe ſpots would ſeem to be made by right lines
<

rallel to the Ecliptick. </

<

on of this Axis is not fixed, and continually extended towards
<
lb

one and the ſame point of the Univerſe, but rather that it doth
<
lb

alwayes from moment to moment go changing its direction; for
<
lb
/>
if the pendency ſhould always look towards the ſelf ſame point,
<
lb
/>
the courſes of the ſpots would never change appearance; but
<
lb

appearing at one time either right or curved, bending upwards
<
lb

or downwards, aſcending or deſcending, they would appear
<
lb

the ſame at all times. </

ſaid Axis is convertible; and is ſometimes found to be in the
<

Plane of the circle that is extreme, terminate, or of the viſible
<
lb

Hemiſphere, I mean at ſuch time as the courſes of the ſpots

ſeem to be made in right lines, and more than ever pendent,

treme points, or we may ſay, from the poles of another Axis of

lb

the Sun, which is parallel to the Axis of the Ecliptick; (which
<
lb

ſecond Axis muſt neceſſarily be aſſigned to the Solar Globe)
<
lb

mote, I ſay, as far as the inclination of the Axis of the revolution

of the ſpots doth import; and moreover that the Pole falling in

the apparent Hemiſphere, is one while in the ſuperiour, another
