further thinking, that the projection diminiſhing in the inlarging of

it may poſſibly be true, that he that would make the great wheel

lb

them as much in velocity, as they increaſe in diameter, which he

might do, by making them to finiſh their converſions in equal

times; and thus we may conclude, that the Earths revolution or
