[148] "_Copernicus._ You see, therefore, that from all these things the motion of the earth is more probable than its immobility, especially in the daily revolution which is as it were a particular property of it. _Emend._ Omit from 'You see' to the end of the chapter." [149] "_Copernicus._ Therefore, since there is nothing to hinder the motion of the earth, it seems to me that we should consider whether it has several motions, to the end that it may be looked upon as one of the moving stars. _Emend._ Therefore, since I have assumed that the earth moves, it seems to me that we should consider whether it has several motions." [150] "_Copernicus._ We are not ashamed to acknowledge ... that this is preferably verified in the motion of the earth. _Emend._ We are not ashamed to assume ... that this is consequently verified in the motion." [151] "_Copernicus._ So divine is surely this work of the Best and Greatest. _Emend._ Strike out these last words." [152] This should be Cap. 11, lib. i, p. 10. [153] "_Copernicus._ Demonstration of the threefold motion of the earth. _Emend._ On the hypothesis of the threefold motion of the earth and its demonstration." [154] This should be Cap. 20, lib. iv, p. 122.

[158] Giovanni Battista Riccioli (1598-1671) taught philosophy and theology at Parma and Bologna, and was later professor of astronomy. His _Almagestum novum_ appeared in 1651, and his _Argomento fisico-matematico contro il moto diurno della terra_ in 1668. [159] He was a native of Arlington, Sussex, and a pensioner of Christ's College, Cambridge. In 1603 he became a master of arts at Oxford. [160] Straying, i.e., from the right way. [161] "Private subjects may, in the presence of danger, defend themselves or their families against a monarch as against any malefactor, if the monarch assaults them like a bandit or a ravisher, and provided they are unable to summon the usual protection and cannot in any way escape the danger." [162] Daniel Neal (1678-1743), an independent minister, wrote a _History of the Puritans_ that appeared in 1732. The account may be found in the New York edition of 1843-44, vol. I, p. 271. [163] Anthony Wood (1632-1695), whose _Historia et Antiquitates Universitatis Oxoniensis_ (1674) and _Athenae Oxoniensis_ (1691) are among the classics on Oxford.
