But yet the distance from certain parts of the board being that which determines the place of the chess-men; and the distance from the fixed parts of the cabin (with which we made the comparison) being that which determined the place of the chess-board; and the fixed parts of the earth that by which we determined the place of the ship,-these things may be said to be in the same place in those respects: though their distance from some other things, which in this matter we did not consider, being varied, they have undoubtedly changed place in that respect; and we ourselves shall think so, when we have occasion to compare them with those other.
Baina, piezen lekua taulako zenbait laukitxotatik dagoen distantziak erabakitzen duenez, eta xake taularen lekua gelako parte finkoetatik (berauekiko egin genuen, egin ere, erkaketa) dagoen distantziak erabakitzen duenez, eta lurraren parte finkoetatik dagoenak itsasuntziaren lekua, esan daiteke gauza horiek leku berean daudela, nahiz eta, une honetan aintzat hartzen ez diren beste gauza batzuekiko distantzia aldatu denez gero, haiek ere, dudarik gabe, lekuz aldatu diren zentzu horretan; eta guk geuk ere horrelaxe pentsatuko dugu, beste gauza horiekin alderatzeko parada izatean.
