On the moon, as on the earth, Nature is in continuous change : for example, the relative positions of sea and land are ever altering ; but the magnitude of the distance renders these invisible, and more especially the minuteness and gradual nature of the changes themselves. The lunar spectator will be presented with eclipses of the earth, and, according to the position of sea and land, i^. of light and shadow, with ...phases of the earth.^ In the same way Bruno applied his principle of similarity to show that from distant stars the earth would appear of uniform magni- tude and unvarying position, while in the neighbourhood of other suns it and all the other planets would dis- appear. As matter is the same in kind throughout the universe, so it is subject everywhere to the same law of unceasing change : — " The sun in its rising never seeks twice the same point, all things by stress of the con- tinuous flux are renewed, nor ever seek again the haunts they have left, nor is there any part of the earth which does not pass through every region, and a like force now carries each part in one direction or another, now drives it away ; and if by chance any one revisit the centre, it is no longer in the same form, nor in the same connection (ordine).^^ * Not even the whole can ever be twice the same, since the order and arrangement of its parts are continuously changing.
