1662 Thomas Salusbury, Galileos Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems'' (Dialogue 2):
These impure and frail matters are conteined within the angustconcave of the Lunar Orb, above which with uninterrupted Series the things Celestial distend themselves.
Milton
But say, what mean those coloured streaks in heaven / Distended as the brow of God appeased?
