Hence I Feel No Shame In Asserting That This Whole Region Engirdled By The Moon, And The Center Of The Earth, Traverse This Grand Circle Amid The Rest Of The Planets In An Annual Revolution Around The Sun.

I Can Easily Conceive, Most Holy Father, That As Soon As Some People Learn That In This Book Which I Have Written Concerning The Revolutions Of The Heavenly Bodies, I Ascribe Certain Motions To The Earth, They Will Cry Out At Once That I And My Theory Should Be Rejected.

Although All The Good Arts Serve To Draw Man's Mind Away From Vices And Lead It Toward Better Things, This Function Can Be More Fully Performed By This Art, Which Also Provides Extraordinary Intellectual Pleasure.

Finally We Shall Place The Sun Himself At The Center Of The Universe.
