A57666	The new planet no planet, or, The earth no wandring star, except in the wandring heads of Galileans here out of the principles of divinity, philosophy, astronomy, reason, and sense, the earth's immobility is asserted : the true sense of Scripture in this point, cleared : the fathers and philosophers vindicated : divers theologicall and philosophicall points handled, and Copernicus his opinion, as erroneous, ridiculous, and impious, fully refuted / by Alexander Rosse ; in answer to a discourse, that the earth may be a planet.

etherial_a air_n but_o first_o tell_v we_o if_o jupiter_n and_o the_o rest_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o whole_a if_o they_o be_v what_o be_v it_o that_o move_v they_o with_o contrary_a motion_n if_o they_o be_v not_o than_o your_o simile_n have_v never_o a_o foot_n again_o do_v this_o follow_v jupiter_n saturn_n etc._n etc._n have_v such_o and_o such_o motion_n therefore_o bullet_n and_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v separate_v observe_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o whole_a you_o have_v be_v better_a to_o have_v bring_v your_o simile_n from_o the_o sea_n which_o be_v near_o to_o the_o earth_n in_o place_n and_o nature_n then_o the_o heaven_n be_v thus_o the_o sea_n ebb_v and_o flow_v therefore_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v separate_v may_v observe_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o whole_a do_v not_o this_o hang_v well_o together_o like_o a_o rope_n of_o sand_n if_o you_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o part_n of_o the_o sea_n be_v separate_v observe_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o whole_a in_o ebb_v and_o flow_v therefore_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n separate_v observe_v also_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o whole_a you_o have_v say_v something_o but_o you_o know_v the_o contrary_a of_o the_o antecedent_n to_o be_v true_a for_o you_o tell_v we_o that_o a_o bucket_n of_o sea_n water_n do_v not_o ebb_n and_o flow_v though_o this_o motion_n be_v as_o you_o say_v natural_a to_o the_o sea_n but_o here_o you_o be_v deceive_v for_o if_o this_o motion_n be_v a_o natural_a property_n flow_v from_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o sea_n the_o whole_a sea_n and_o every_o part_n of_o it_o shall_v ebb_v and_o flow_v but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o for_o the_o adriatic_a sea_n have_v this_o motion_n the_o tyrrhene_a baltic_a and_o some_o other_o sea_n have_v it_o not_o so_o some_o part_n of_o the_o sea_n ebb_n and_o flow_v more_o and_o long_o than_o other_o but_o essential_a property_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o more_o and_o less_o some_o think_v that_o this_o be_v no_o pure_a motion_n but_o a_o alteration_n rather_o in_o the_o sea_n but_o be_v it_o what_o it_o will_v be_v it_o proceed_v not_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sea_n but_o from_o external_a cause_n partly_o from_o the_o force_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o star_n chief_o of_o the_o moon_n and_o partly_o from_o vapour_n and_o exhalation_n in_o the_o sea_n 12._o you_o say_v the_o whole_a earth_n may_v moveround_v though_o the_o several_a part_n thereof_o have_v no_o such_o revolution_n particular_a of_o their_o stone_n for_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n agree_v to_o the_o whole_a frame_n which_o be_v not_o discernible_a in_o the_o divers_a part_n of_o it_o which_o you_o instance_n in_o the_o sea_n water_n and_o in_o the_o blood_n and_o humour_n of_o our_o body_n which_o ascend_v in_o the_o body_n but_o descend_v be_v separate_v from_o it_o answ._n there_o be_v nothing_o proper_a and_o essential_a to_o the_o whole_a but_o be_v also_o proper_a and_o essential_a to_o the_o part_n separate_v or_o not_o separate_v thus_o if_o circular_a motion_n be_v natural_a to_o the_o whole_a earth_n as_o you_o say_v the_o part_n of_o it_o will_v retain_v their_o nature_n still_o though_o separate_v therefore_o every_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n descend_v because_o the_o whole_a do_v but_o no_o part_n thereof_o move_v circular_o because_o the_o whole_a do_v not_o as_o for_o the_o part_n of_o the_o sea_n water_n in_o a_o bucket_n there_o be_v not_o ebb_v and_o flow_v as_o in_o the_o whole_a because_o that_o motion_n be_v not_o natural_a to_o it_o nor_o do_v it_o proceed_v from_o the_o active_a form_n but_o from_o its_o passive_a whereby_o it_o be_v apt_a to_o receive_v such_o a_o motion_n from_o external_a agent_n that_o motion_n which_o be_v essential_a and_o natural_a to_o it_o be_v not_o lose_v in_o the_o part_n be_v separate_v for_o every_o bucket_n yea_o every_o drop_n of_o sea_n water_n descend_v because_o that_o motion_n be_v natural_a therefore_o not_o separable_a as_o for_o the_o blood_n and_o humour_n in_o our_o body_n which_o you_o say_v ascend_v natural_o to_o the_o head_n i_o say_v they_o ascend_v not_o natural_o for_o natural_o they_o descend_v because_o heavy_a but_o they_o be_v carry_v upward_o by_o the_o spirit_n in_o they_o and_o draw_v up_o by_o the_o attractive_a faculty_n for_o each_o part_n draw_v its_o aliment_n now_o this_o blood_n and_o humour_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n lose_v their_o heat_n and_o spirit_n and_o so_o descend_v your_o instance_n then_o will_v not_o evert_v our_o maxim_n to_o wit_n that_o if_o the_o whole_a earth_n move_v circular_o the_o separate_a part_n will_v retain_v the_o same_o motion_n but_o you_o say_v that_o this_o motion_n be_v not_o discernible_a in_o the_o part_n i_o grant_v it_o neither_o be_v it_o discernible_a in_o the_o whole_a and_o see_v it_o be_v neither_o discernible_a by_o the_o sense_n nor_o demonstrable_a by_o reason_n how_o come_v you_o to_o know_v it_o if_o you_o can_v perceive_v in_o the_o swift_a violent_a course_n of_o a_o bullet_n the_o magnetical_a revolution_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n you_o be_v more_o quick-sighted_a than_o lynx_n you_o have_v certain_a phrase_n like_o riddle_n which_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o some_o oedipus_n to_o explain_v they_o 1._o you_o call_v the_o earth_n a_o great_a magnet_n what_o be_v that_o a_o great_a loadstone_n if_o there_o be_v great_a store_n of_o iron_n in_o your_o moon_n world_n this_o great_a magnet_n in_o time_n may_v draw_v down_o the_o moon_n upon_o we_o 2._o you_o say_v that_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n may_v according_o to_o their_o matter_n be_v sever_v from_o the_o whole_a perhaps_o you_o mean_v they_o may_v be_v sever_v in_o respect_n of_o place_n not_o of_o matter_n for_o if_o they_o have_v not_o the_o same_o matter_n with_o the_o whole_a they_o can_v be_v part_n nor_o can_v they_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o these_o common_a magnetical_a quality_n you_o speak_v of_o 3._o you_o say_v that_o jupiter_n and_o saturn_n hang_v in_o the_o etherial_a air_n you_o love_v to_o confound_v what_o our_o wise_a forefather_n have_v distinguish_v because_o you_o have_v a_o etherial_a earth_n in_o the_o moon_n you_o will_v fain_o have_v a_o etherial_a air_n to_o god_n have_v separate_v the_o heaven_n or_o etherial_a region_n from_o this_o aereall_a so_o must_v we_o i_o have_v read_v once_o of_o aura_fw-fr aetherea_fw-la in_o virgil_n but_o there_o the_o poet_n divine_o mean_v our_o breath_n which_o we_o have_v original_o from_o heaven_n i_o know_v no_o other_o etherial_a air_n but_o this_o 4._o you_o say_v that_o the_o flesh_n bone_n etc._n etc._n tend_v downward_o as_o be_v of_o a_o condensate_a matter_n but_o gravity_n be_v the_o proper_a cause_n of_o descent_n and_o not_o density_n for_o the_o fire_n and_o air_n may_v be_v condensate_a and_o yet_o tend_v upward_o 5._o you_o say_v that_o saturn_n jupiter_n and_o the_o sun_n be_v magnetical_a body_n if_o you_o mean_v that_o these_o star_n have_v the_o essential_a property_n of_o the_o magnes_fw-la to_o draw_v iron_n than_o you_o will_v make_v the_o earth_n and_o planet_n to_o be_v of_o the_o same_o kind_a and_o species_n if_o mahomeis_n iron_n chest_n be_v hang_v between_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o earth_n it_o be_v a_o question_n whether_o it_o shall_v be_v draw_v more_o forcible_o upward_a or_o downward_o 6._o you_o ask_v a_o reason_n why_o the_o earth_n shall_v not_o move_v about_o its_o centre_n as_o the_o planet_n do_v i_o may_v rather_o ask_v you_o why_o it_o shall_v see_v it_o be_v make_v for_o rest_n and_o they_o for_o motion_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o thing_n wherein_o they_o agree_v but_o that_o they_o be_v corporeal_a substance_n in_o all_o thing_n else_o they_o differ_v why_o then_o shall_v we_o infer_v the_o earth_n motion_n from_o their_o motion_n 7._o you_o that_o prove_v nothing_o but_o bold_o say_v any_o thing_n as_o if_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o receive_v your_o dictate_v tho_o never_o so_o unreasonable_a

or_o wrinkle_n be_v not_o the_o spot_n in_o your_o glass_n or_o in_o your_o eye_n rather_o i_o have_v hear_v of_o one_o who_o with_o his_o spectacle_n read_v in_o a_o book_n beat_v the_o book_n three_o or_o four_o time_n think_v he_o have_v see_v a_o fly_n on_o the_o paper_n when_o it_o be_v a_o spot_n in_o his_o glass_n if_o you_o have_v read_v the_o absurd_a opinion_n of_o the_o manichee_n

of_o you_o to_o say_v that_o the_o scripture_n accommodate_v itself_o to_o the_o vulgar_n conceit_n in_o say_v the_o sun_n rise_v and_o fall_v etc._n etc._n i_o warrant_v you_o if_o the_o vulgar_a

to_o accommodate_v itself_o to_o their_o conceit_n the_o stability_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o heaven_n be_v absurd_a and_o false_a opinion_n in_o your_o conceit_n and_o yet_o the_o
