Questio de aqua et terra (29)

(29) Sic igitur patet de primo sufficienter; videlicet quod impossibile est aquam in aliqua parte sue circumferentie esse altiorem, hoc est remotiorem ad centrum mundi, quam sit superficies huius terre habitabilis; quod erat primum in ordine dicendorum. (29) Thus we have sufficiently established the first point, namely, that it is impossible for water in any portion of its circumference to be loftier, that is remoter from the centre of the universe, than is the surface of this habitable earth, which was the first in order of the things we had to say.
