Why do you think Donne refers to irregular events on earth and in the heaves in line 9 - 12?

The lines are:

Moving of th' earth brings harms and fears;

Men reckon what it did, and meant;

But trepidation of the spheres,

Though greater far, is innocent.

It would be great if you could give an analysis of what these 4 lines mean.
