Bolton in his four last things, who speaking of Heaven, directs us to guess the immeasurable magnitude of it: (as otherwise — so) By the incredible distance from the Earth to the Starry Firmament; and adds, If I should here tell you the several computations of Astronomers, in this kind, the summs would seem to exceed all possibility of belief. [ And he annexes in his Margin sundry computations which I shall not here recite, you may find them in the Author himself, p. 21. ] And yet besides, (as he further adds) the late learnedest of them place above the 8th sphere, wherein all those g•orious Lamps shine so bright, three moving Orbs more. Now the Empyrean He•ven comprehends all these; How incomprehensible then, must its compass •nd greatness necessarily be! But he supposes it possible, the adventure of Mathematicians may be too audacious and peremptory, &c. And concludes the height and extent of the Heavens to be beyond all Human investigation. |
