radius

sed et ambo lamina, id est Sol et Luna, radios suos in hoc signum miserint

‘and the luminaries-the Sun and Moon-send their rays toward this sign.’

Necesse est ergo, in magna copia corpusculorum quae terrae eiectant et in superiorem agunt partem, aliqua in nubes pervenire alimenta ignium, quae non tantum collisa possint ardere sed etiam afflata radiis solis;

‘In the great quantity of particles which the earth ejects and forces into the upper air it is necessary, therefore, that some nutriments of fire reach the clouds, which not only can burn in colliding but even when breathed on by rays of the sun.’
