Ergo necessarium est oppositum suum quod est equaliter distare, cum distet; et sic declarata est consequentia, quantum ex parte eius quod est equaliter distare. | (36) Whereby it is plainly impossible for earth, which equally seeks the centre, to be diversely or unequally distant from it in its circumference. Therefore the opposite of being unequally distant, namely, being equally distant, is necessary where there is any distance at all; and thus the sequence has been defended so far as refers to equi-distance. |
