"Wherever we can trace the law of periodicity we are strongly impressed with the idea of rotatory or orbitual motion."
"But I have given astrology considerable attention, and if you will examine with me some observations and calculations that I have made, I think you will be with me in my novel opinion, that this earth may prove to be a sphere and in orbitual motion, with its seven planets, about the sun; its annual progress in its circuit giving us seasons, its diurnal motion night and day!"
"And this mighty movement, however we may more particularly regard it, is a vast harmonious one, shared in by the several orbitual systems."
