Note Q — LETTER the FOURTH.
Reading edition
Ptolomy supposed two Heavens above that of the fixed Stars, which he called the eighth; viz. a ninth, the Crystalline, and a tenth the Primum Mobile. See Letter the second.
The sacred Sun, above the Waters rais'd, Thro' Heav'ns eternal, brazen Portals blaz'd; And wide o'er Earth diffus'd his chearing Ray, To Gods and Men to give the golden Day.
Homer
