Finally We Shall Place The Sun Himself

Accordingly, Since Nothing Prevents The Earth From Moving, I Suggest That We Should Now Consider Also Whether Several Motions Suit It, So That It Can Be Regarded As One Of The Planets. For, It Is Not The Center Of All The Revolutions.

In The Midst Of All Dwells The Sun.

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.

Those Who Know That The Consensus Of Many Centuries Has Sanctioned The Conception That The Earth Remains At Rest In The Middle Of The Heavens As Its Center, Would, I Reflected, Regard It As An Insane Pronouncement If I Made The Opposite Assertion That The Earth Moves.
