To this they answer, that even this cause, the swift motion of the Planets, wrought this diversity: because they change their Aspects and Coni•ctions every moment. This would one Nigidius demonstrate, who upon a Wheel turning with all possible swiftness, let drop at once two aspersions of Ink, so near together as possibly he could: yet Stanterota, &c. the Wheel standing still, they were found very remote & distant. Whereby he would demonstrate, that in a small course of time, a great part of the celestial Globe may be turned about. But this S. Austin soundly returns on them: That if the Planetary courses, and Celestial motions be so swift, it can not be discerned under what Constellation any one is borne.1 And Gregory wittily derides their folly, that if Esau and Jacob were not therefore borne under one Constellation, because they came forth one after another. By the same reason, neither can any one be borne under one Constellation, because he is not borne all at once, but one part after another.

By the same reason, neither can any one be borne vnder one Constellation, because hee is not borne all at once, but one part after another.
