This shows that the moon, although solid, is a bit too far removed from the center of the earth's vortex to have weight; that Mercury, Venus, the earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn cannot fall into the sun, and that they are not solid enough to leave their vortex like comets; that they are in equilibrium with the matter in which they float; and that if a musket ball or a cannon bullet could be thrown high enough, these two bodies would become tiny planets, or they would be sufficiently solid to become like tiny comets that could no longer be arrested in the vortexes.
