There are also five other planets, and they have light from the fire and from the ether and they are sturdy and the support of the firmament. And they have they have orbits of as much height as depth in the firmament, that they shine there, where the sun does not shine and its luster hardly reaches; where they are they rush and are slaves to the orbit of the sun and they maintain the speed of the sun and they make its fire dwindle away, so so thus because of them it does not emit so much heat from its fire, as it would do, if they did not restrain it. And like the five senses of the human body they form the basis of its body and they are ornaments of it, thus indeed those five planets contain the sun and are its ornament. But the firmament is also revolving quickly, and the sun, with the other planets, rushes little by little against it and opposite to it and restrains its speed; because if the sun did not restrain it by slowing it or if, along with the other planets, it rushed with such speed against the firmament, that it turned around, everything would be mixed together, and the firmament would be completely shattered.

original latin

Firmamentum quoque stellis continetur,  ne  dilabatur, uelut homo a uenis sustentatur, ne diffluat et ne separetur. Et ut uene totum corpus hominis a pede usque ad caput pertranseunt, sic etiam stelle firmamentum. Et quemadmodum sanguis in uenis mouetur, et ut sanguis eas mouet et salire et ictus dare facit, ita etiam ignis in stellis mouetur et eas mouari et quasdam scintillas uelud quosdam saltus et ictus emittere facit.

Stelle enim multa signa interdum in se ostendunt secundum quod homines in operibus suis se tunc habent. Sed nec futura nec cogitationes hominum ostendunt, sed ea tantum, que homo iam aut ostensa uoluntate aut in uoce aut in opere facit, quoniam aer illa excipit. Et stellis tribuit ille, quod statim eo modo ostendunt opera hominis. Stellas autem deus, ad seruitutem hominis fecit, ut ei lucerent et ministrarent. Et ideo etiam opera eius ostendunt, uelud seruus uoluntatem et opus domini sui manifestat. Nam sicut  anima in corpore hominis primum lucet et tunc in opus procedit, ita etiam et stelle in firmamento fulgent et opera hominis ostendunt, cum homo iam operatur.

Sol uero et luna et ceteri planete non semper opera hominis ostendunt, sed raro. Et cum ipsi aliquid ostendunt, hoc magnum est et ad publicam rem pertinet. Quoniam summus planeta, qui oculus dicitur, et ille, qui proximus supra lunam est, qui dicitur pauper, in profunditate firmamenti uelud duo claui positi sunt et hominibus non apparent, nisi quod aliquando, cum nubes obnubilate sunt, uelud quidam fulgor ab eis in nubibus apparet, cum aliquid futurum esse presignant.

Sed quod in sole aliqua signa interdum ostenduntur, hoc ideo euenit quod isti duo planete solem aggrediuntur, ita quod hoc modo signa in ipso fiunt, cum aliquid miraculi futurum erit. Ipsi uero planete non apparebunt, ita ut perfecte et pleniter uideantur, nisi ante diem iudicii. Et tunc splendorem suum de summo ad terram insolito emittunt, et per hoc sapientes hominesdiem iudicii appropinquare intelligent.
