Of the Centre of the World.
In Infinite no Centre can be laid ,But if the World has Limits, Centre's made:
For all that with Circumference is fac'd,
A Centre in the midst must needs have plac'd;
This makes each Form that's limited and bound
To have a Centre and Circumference round,
And is the cause the World goes like a Bowl,
Because it doth about its Centre rowl;
The Centre's small, the Compass big without,
Which by the VVeight doth make it turn about.
