require a Motion infinitely more rapid than that above
ascribed to the Earth. As for the common Objection against
the Earth's Motion, that we are not sensible of it, and that
a Stone thrown up from the Earth ought not to fall down upon
the same Place again; it is answered at once by the above
Comparison of a Ship, from which (as has been often found by
Experiment) a Ball fired directly up in the Air, does not
fall behind the Ship, let her Motion be ever so swift, but,
partaking of the Ship's Motion, is carried forward in the
Air, and falls down again upon the Deck. And as to the
Objections taken from some Scripture Expressions, which seem
to contradict the Theory of the Earth's Motion, it is plain,
from innumerable Instances, that Revelation was not given to
Mankind to make them Philosophers or deep Reasoners, but to
improve them in Virtue and Piety; and that it was therefore
proper it should be expressed in a Manner accommodated to
common Capacities and popular Opinions in all Points merely
speculative, and which were not to have any direct Influence
upon the Hearts and Lives of Men. The Truth of the Matter is,
that the Demonstrations given by the incomparable Sir _Isaac
Newton_, have established the Doctrine of the Motion of the
Earth and other Planets, and the Comets round the Sun, and of

Thy Praise my Morning Song, my daily Theme,
My Ev'ning Subject, and my Midnight Dream,
When Grief oppresses, and when Pain assails;
When all the Man, and all the Stoic fails;
When fierce Tentation's stormy Billows roll;
When Guilt and Horror overwhelm my Soul;
With outward Ills contending Passions join'd,
To shake frail Virtue, and unhinge the Mind;

secondary Planets or Satellites round their Primaries, in
such a Manner, as leaves no Room for any, but such as do not
understand them, to hesitate about it. The Sun's apparent
Rising and Setting is therefore owing to the Earth's turning
round upon its own Axis; and his apparent Change of Place
among the fixed Stars, to our real Change of Situation round
the Sun. The different Seasons of the Year, with all their
delightful Varieties, are owing to the most simple
Contrivance that can be imagined, _viz._ The Inclination of
the Earth's Axis to the Plane of the Ecliptic. Any Person who
has not an Opportunity of seeing an Orrery, may easily
represent this by an Apple or any other round Body with a
Wire thrust through the Middle of it, and carried round a
Table having a Candle placed on the Middle; if the lower End
of the Wire be made to touch the Table all the Way round, and
to lean a little, the upper End still pointing towards the
same Side of the Room, by turning the Skewer round, as it is
carried along, it will be easy to understand how the Earth's
Turning once round upon her own Axis, makes a Day and a
Night; and by carrying the Apple round the Table, it will be
easy to shew how the Sun (represented by the Candle) must
seem to change Place with regard to the fixed Stars; and by
observing how differently the Light of the Candle enlightens
the different Parts of the Apple as the Wire points toward
[it]

And this World's Glories vanish from these Eyes;
Then may the Thought of Thee be ever near,
To calm the Tumult, and compose the Fear.

Safe in thy Mercy, not my Innocence,
And through what future Scenes thy Hand may guide

it, or from it, the Cause of the Difference of the Seasons,
of the Length of the Days and Nights, of the Sun's shining
more directly or more obliquely upon different Parts of the
Earth, and of the Heat of Summer, and Cold of Winter, may be
made plain to any Capacity. That the Earth is of a round, or
nearly round Figure, is plain from the Shadow it casts upon
the Face of the Moon in a partial Eclipse of the Moon, which
is always round, and never of any other Figure. It is also
manifest from what it always observed at Sea, _viz._ That a
Ship, as it approaches, first shews its Masts and Sails, and
by Degrees its lower Parts, till it becomes all visible; and,
as it goes off, its Hulk is first lost, and then its Sails
and upper Parts, till it be quite hid by the Convexity or
Roundness of the Surface of the Ocean.
As the Earth is carried round the Sun once in a Year, so is
the Moon carried round the Earth once in about twenty-seven
Days, accompanying her in her whole Revolution, at the
above-mentioned Distance of two hundred and forty thousand
Miles, and keeping always the same Face towards the Earth.
That the Moon goes round the Earth, as her Centre, is evident
to the Eye. For, when she is between the Sun and the Earth,
she is invisible to us, her dark Side being turned toward us.
When she goes a little Way forward in her Revolution, so as
to come from between

us and the Sun, we see a small Part of her Body enlightned,
and so on still more and more, till she comes to be in
Opposition to the Sun, and then we see all that Side of her
which the Sun shines upon, when we say she is full; though
the Sun does not, in Reality, enlighten any more of her Body
at Full than at new Moon; only her enlightened Side is turned
towards us in the one Case, and from us in the other. This
whole Matter may be made very plain to any Capacity in the
same Manner as is above directed with regard to the Earth's
Revolution round the Sun, by carrying a smaller Apple or Ball
to represent the Moon round the first, which represents the
Earth, and observing how the Light of the Candle shining upon
the little Ball must appear to a Fly or other Insect placed
upon the large one. Whenever the Moon happens to come exactly
between the Earth and the Sun, she stops the Light of the
Sun, and then we say, the Sun is eclipsed; and according as
the Moon happens to cover a Part or the Whole of the Sun's
Face, we call the Eclipse partial or total. Sometimes a total
Eclipse of the Sun happens when the Moon is at her greatest
Distance from the Earth (for she does not go round the Earth
in an exact Circle, as neither do any of the rest of the
primary or secondary Planets round their Centers) and then,
as all Objects appear smaller according to their Distance,
she does not cover the whole Face of the Sun, but a part

=NOVEMBER.= _XI Month._
When Storms of Fire on Sinners shall be pour'd,
And all th' Obdurate in thy Wrath devour'd;
May I then hope to find a lowly Place
To stand the meanest or th' etherial Race;
Swift at thy Word to wing the liquid Sky,
And on thy humblest Messages to fly.
Howe'er thy blissful Sight may raise my Soul,
While vast Eternity's long Ages roll,
[Perfection]
