follow the sun, by reason of neediness of nature, in the weaker fires of Venus and Mercury; the rather, because Galileo has discovered certain small wandering stars attendant upon Jupiter. These then are the things I see, standing as I do on the threshold of natural history and philosophy; and it may be that the deeper any man has gone into natural history the more he will approve them. Nevertheless I repeat once more that I do not mean to bind myself to these; for in them as in other things I am certain of my way, but not certain of my position. Meanwhile, I have introduced them by way of interlude, lest it be thought that it is from vacillation of judgment or inability to affirm that I prefer negative questions. I will preserve therefore, even as the heavenly bodies themselves do (since it is of them I am discoursing), a variable constancy.
