Whence this Author concludes, that the said _Jesuite_ assuring us that the _inquisition_ hath not _absolutely_ declared, that those Scripture-places are to be understood _literally_, seeing that the _Church_ may make a contrary declaration, no man ought to scruple to follow the _Hypothesis_ of the _Earths motion_, but only forbear to maintain it in _publick_, till the prohibition be called in. But to return to the matter in hand, this Author, upon all these observations and relations of _Cassini_ and _Campani_, doth find no reason to doubt any more of the excellency of the Glass used by them, above his; except this difference may be imputed to that of the _Air_, or of the _Eys_. But yet he is rather inclined to ascribe it to the goodness of their Glasses, and that the rather, because, he would not be thought to have the vanity of magnifying his own; of which, yet he intimates by the by, that he caused one to be wrought, of 150 _Parisian_ feet; which though it proved none of the best, yet he despairs not to make good ones of _that_, and of far greater Length. * * * * * __Signor Campani's_ Answer: and Monsieur _Auzout_'s Animadversions thereon._ The other part of this _French Tract_, conteining _Campani_'s Answer, and Mr. _Auzout_ his _Reflections_ thereon, begins with the pretended _Shadows_ of the _Ring_ upon _Saturn_, and of _Saturn_ upon the _Ring_. Concerning which, the said _Campani_ declareth, that he never believed them to be _shadows_, made by the _Ring_ upon the _Disk_ of _Saturn_, or by the body of _Saturn_ upon the _Ring_, but the _Rimms_ of these bodies, which being _unequally_ Luminous, did shew these appearances. In which Explication, forasmuch as it represents, that the said _Campani_ meant to note only the _Inequality of the Light_, which, _he saith_, his Glasses did discover, Mr. _Auzout_ does {76} so far acquiesce, that he only wishes, that his own Glasses would shew him those differences. Next to the Objection, made by Monsieur _Auzout_, against Signor _Campani_, touching the Proportion of the Length of the _Ring_ to its breadth, _Campani_ replyeth, that the Glasses of Monsieur _Auzout_, shew not all the particulars, that his do, and therefore are unfit for determining the true Figure and breadth of the apparent _Ellipsis_ of the _Ring_. To which M. _Auzout_ rejoyns, that he is displeased at his being destitute of better Glasses, but that it will be very hard for the future to convince _Campani_ touching the _Proportion_ of the _Ring_, seing that the breadth of the _Ellipsis_ is always diminishing, although, if the declination of the _Ring_ remains always the same, one can at all times know, which may have been its greatest breadth. But he assures, that the breadth of the _Ring_ is not the half of its length, and that it doth not spread out so much beyond _Saturn_'s Body, as he hath alleged. And withal desirs to know, what can be answered by Sig. _Campani_ to M.
