The Propositions that are proved in this Discourse.

---

Proposition I.

That the strangeness of this opinion is no sufficient reason why it should be rejected; because other certain truths have been formerly esteemed ridiculous, and great absurdities entertained by common consent. By way of preface.

Prop. II.

That a plurality of worlds does not contradict any principle of reason or faith.

Prop. III.

That the heavens do not consist of any such pure matter which can privilege them from the like change and corruption, as these inferior bodies are liable unto.

Prop. IV.

That the Moon is a solid, compacted, opaque body.

Prop. V.

That the Moon has not any light of her own.

Prop. VI.

That there is a world in the Moon, has been the direct opinion of many ancient, with some modern mathematicians; and may probably be deduced from the tenets of others.
