A new enquiry of the earth's motion. [electronic resource] : Wherein are remarkable observations, taken from the several fix'd points and places of the heaven, also from the horizon and the eclipse of the sun, and also from the difference of the sun's motion from the moon; with several arguments thereupon demonstrated, proving the sun to move, and not the earth, contrary to the opinion of the majority of the learned of this age: The system of copernicus also consuted, and plainly demonstrated how and in what manner the sun can appear to move by reason of the earth's motion, proving the sun to appear to move, but cannot appear to move all round the earth; some secrets of the earth and the sun discovered, with a machine, which neither tycho, nor copernicus, nor any author of these later ages, hath as yet made known to the world. By Isaac Leach, master of the charity-School at Alton.
