that the eye beinge placed in anie parte of the Univers the apparence
would be still all one as vnto us here. When I was a sayinge that
although Kepler had sayd somethinge to moste that mighte be vrged for
that opinion of Nolanus, yet of one principall thinge hee had not
thought; for although it may be true that to the ey placed in anie
starre of, ### [Cancer], the starres in Capricorne will vanish, yet he

it is to bee so far fro you. What troubled me a month you satisfyed in a
minute. I have supplied verie fitlie my wante of a spheare, in the
desolution of a hogshead, for the hopes therof haue framed me a verie
fine one. I pray also at your leasure answere the other pointes of my
last letter concerning Vieta, Kepler and your selfe. I have nothinge to
