Nam quid in hoc mundo sit eorum ponere certum difficile est; sed quid possit fiatque per omne in variis mundis varia ratione creatis, id doceo, plurisque sequor disponere causas, motibus astrorum quae possint esse per omne; e quibus una tamen siet hic quoque causa necessest quae vegeat motum signis; sed quae sit earum praecipere haudquaquamst pedetemptim progredientis.
For which of these causes holds in our world it is difficult to say for certain; but what may be done and is done through the whole universe in the various worlds made in various ways, that is what I teach, proceeding to set forth several causes which may account for the movements of the stars throughout the whole universe; one of which, however, must be that which gives force to the movement of the signs in our world also; but which may be the true one, is not his to lay down who proceeds step by step.
