1. From that light which is discerned in her, when there is a totall
eclipse of her owne body, or of the Sunne.
2. For the light which is discerned in the darker part of her body, when
she is but a little distant from the Sunne.
1. For when there are any totall eclipses, there appeares in her body a
great rednesse, and many times light enough to cause a remarkeable
shade, as common experience doth sufficiently manifest: but this cannot
come from the Sunne, since at such times either the earth, or her owne
body shades her from the Sun-beames, therefore it must proceede from her
owne light.
2. Two or three daies after the new Moone, wee may perceive light in her
whole body, whereas the rayes of the Sun reflect but upon a small part
of that which is visible, therefore 'tis likely that there is some light
of her owne.
In answering to these objections, I shall first shew, that this light
cannot be her owne, and then declare that which is the true reason of
it.
