entamen de physicis motuum
coelestium Rationibus
stronomi Superiorum temporum, ut Machinam Mundi expli
carent, orbes solidos commenti sunt, aliis rursum exiguis
orbibus mobilibus insertis excavatos, quibus infixi planetae
compositis r pro Astronomi libitu motibus, circumagi
possent. Nec contemnenda illa meditatio fait, in ea infantia
philosophiae, saltem enim imaginationi regendae inservire poterat,
sed a veritate naturae longissime dissidebat.
Primus Tycho apparatum ex coelo sustulit, orbesque fluidos et
phaenomenis et rationibus consentire ostendit, quem posteriore
magno applausu sunt secuti. Sed inde visa est augeri difficultas,
neque enim apparebat, quid in libero aethere regeret planetas,
intelligentias enim gubernatrices affingere, per absurdum, et divino
artificio indignum merito videbatur. Sympathiae autem et
Magnetismi, etsi quadam Analogia juvarent, menti tamen non

ex certa eg regula motuum aetheris liquii, orirentur motus
planstarii Leges, nemo quod sciam explicare aggressus est, et
ipse Cartesius velut desperatum silentio transmisit.
eplerus, vir maximi sane ingenii, Tychonicis observationo
adjutas, cum multa tentasset, varieque phaenomena numeris
explicata improbo labore comparasset, tandem duas invenit
