Examples

“So that, according to these men, the number⟳ of ætherial Spirits must needs be infinite : for if that be true that some of our Mathematicians say⟳ : if a stone could fall⟳ from the starry heaven, or eighth sphere, and should pass⟳ every hour an hundred miles, it would be 65 years or, or more, before it would come⟳ to ground, by reason⟳ of the great distance of heaven from earth, which contains, as some say⟳, 170 millions 803 miles, besides those other heavens, whether they be crystalline or watery, which Maginus adds, which peradventure hold⟳ as much more, how many such spirits may it contain⟳?”
