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.

what_o move_v about_o the_o sun_n move_v about_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o world_n the_o planet_n move_v about_o the_o sun_n ergo_fw-la they_o move_v about_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o world_n and_o all_o this_o i_o grant_v you_o that_o the_o planet_n move_v about_o the_o earth_n which_o be_v the_o centre_n now_o than_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o say_v that_o the_o sun_n be_v the_o centre_n of_o the_o world_n because_o the_o planet_n move_v about_o he_o no_o more_o than_o jericho_n be_v the_o centre_n of_o canaan_n because_o the_o priest_n go_v about_o it_o 4._o when_o you_o tell_v we_o

will_v not_o have_v to_o be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o body_n bigness_n but_o to_o the_o strength_n of_o natural_a desire_n which_o that_o big_a body_n have_v to_o such_o a_o motion_n answ._n you_o make_v a_o show_v as_o if_o you_o do_v answer_n our_o argument_n but_o in_o effect_v you_o answer_n nothing_o for_o if_o i_o shall_v ask_v you_o why_o a_o millstone_n fall_v fast_a than_o a_o pebble_n you_o will_v answer_v because_o it_o have_v a_o strong_a desire_n to_o fall_v but_o if_o i_o ask_v again_o why_o it_o have_v a_o strong_a desire_n you_o answer_v because_o the_o big_a a_o thing_n be_v the_o strong_a be_v its_o desire_n etc._n etc._n and_o be_v not_o your_o opinion_n now_o all_o one_o with_o i_o in_o effect_n that_o it_o be_v the_o bigness_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o swiftness_n now_o the_o same_o reason_n be_v appliable_a to_o body_n move_v circular_o for_o though_o they_o be_v in_o their_o proper_a situation_n yet_o there_o be_v in_o they_o as_o great_a a_o desire_n to_o move_v about_o the_o centre_n as_o there_o be_v in_o elementary_a body_n to_o move_v to_o and_o from_o the_o centre_n therefore_o the_o great_a the_o body_n be_v the_o great_a desire_n it_o have_v to_o move_v according_a to_o your_o opinion_n again_o i_o say_v that_o the_o wind_n will_v soon_o move_v a_o great_a ship_n then_o a_o little_a stone_n you_o answer_v this_o be_v not_o because_o a_o ship_n be_v more_o easy_o movable_a than_o a_o little_a stone_n but_o because_o a_o little_a stone_n be_v not_o so_o liable_a to_o the_o violence_n from_o whence_o its_o motion_n proceed_v this_o answer_n be_v as_o wise_a as_o the_o former_a for_o why_o be_v not_o the_o stone_n as_o liable_a to_o the_o violent_a cause_n of_o its_o motion_n as_o the_o ship_n but_o because_o it_o be_v not_o so_o big_a therefore_o the_o ship_n be_v more_o easy_o movable_a than_o the_o stone_n because_o by_o reason_n of_o its_o bigness_n it_o be_v more_o liable_a to_o the_o violent_a cause_n of_o its_o motion_n and_o when_o you_o say_v that_o i_o can_v throw_v a_o ship_n as_o far_o as_o a_o stone_n i_o grant_v it_o but_o this_o will_v only_o argue_v want_n of_o strength_n in_o i_o but_o not_o want_v of_o aptitude_n for_o a_o swift_a motion_n in_o the_o ship_n then_o in_o the_o stone_n if_o i_o have_v strength_n to_o sling_v the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o a_o big_a bullet_n out_o of_o the_o same_o piece_n will_v fly_v far_o and_o swift_a than_o a_o lesser_a 5._o i_o bring_v some_o instance_n to_o illustrate_v the_o possibility_n of_o the_o heaven_n swiftness_n as_o the_o sound_n of_o a_o cannon_n twenty_o mile_n off_o of_o the_o sight_n of_o a_o star_n in_o a_o moment_n of_o the_o light_n pass_v sudden_o from_o east_n to_o west_n of_o the_o swiftness_n of_o a_o bullet_n carry_v by_o the_o powder_n to_o these_o you_o answer_v that_o the_o passage_n of_o a_o sound_n be_v but_o slow_a compare_v to_o the_o heaven_n motion_n that_o the_o species_n of_o sound_n or_o sight_n be_v accident_n and_o so_o be_v the_o light_n that_o the_o disproportion_n be_v great_a betwixt_o the_o heaven_n motion_n and_o the_o swiftness_n of_o a_o bullet_n answ._n let_v the_o sound_n and_o light_n and_o species_n be_v what_o they_o will_v be_v they_o be_v move_v and_o if_o they_o be_v accident_n they_o can_v be_v move_v alone_o but_o with_o the_o subject_n in_o which_o they_o be_v inherent_a therefore_o if_o there_o be_v such_o swiftness_n in_o the_o motion_n of_o these_o what_o need_v we_o doubt_v of_o the_o swiftness_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o if_o accident_n can_v be_v so_o swift_o move_v with_o and_o in_o their_o subject_n much_o swift_a must_v be_v these_o heavenly_a substance_n have_v no_o resistance_n who_o matter_n be_v so_o pure_a that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a furtherance_n to_o their_o motion_n and_o though_o there_o be_v great_a disproportion_n betwixt_o the_o bullet_n motion_n and_o the_o heaven_n swiftness_n yet_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o one_o serve_v to_o illustrate_v the_o swiftness_n of_o the_o other_o and_o yet_o i_o take_v not_o upon_o i_o as_o you_o do_v peremptory_o to_o tell_v how_o swift_a the_o heaven_n be_v and_o though_o i_o say_v that_o the_o light_n be_v a_o accident_n yet_o i_o say_v also_o that_o it_o be_v corpori_fw-la simillimum_fw-la that_o it_o come_v very_o near_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o body_n neither_o do_v aristotle_n prove_v the_o light_n to_o be_v no_o body_n because_o of_o its_o swiftness_n as_o if_o no_o body_n be_v capable_a of_o that_o swiftness_n for_o than_o he_o shall_v contradict_v himself_o as_o you_o use_v to_o do_v but_o he_o mean_v that_o no_o sublunary_a body_n have_v so_o swift_a a_o motion_n it_o have_v be_v folly_n to_o illustrate_v the_o swiftness_n of_o the_o bullet_n motion_n by_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o hand_n in_o the_o watch_n for_o there_o by_o many_o other_o motion_n far_o swift_a than_o this_o to_o express_v the_o bullet_n motion_n but_o of_o sublunary_a motion_n there_o be_v none_o swift_a than_o those_o i_o allege_v to_o illustrate_v the_o motion_n of_o heaven_n 6._o you_o will_v have_v the_o earth_n to_o be_v both_o the_o efficient_a and_o final_a cause_n of_o its_o motion_n but_o indeed_o it_o be_v neither_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o for_o if_o it_o move_v at_o all_o it_o must_v be_v move_v by_o another_o mover_n than_o itself_o and_o god_n make_v the_o heaven_n not_o for_o the_o earth_n but_o for_o man_n so_o the_o diurnal_a and_o annual_a motion_n have_v man_n for_o their_o final_a cause_n and_o heavenly_a mover_n for_o their_o efficient_a 2._o you_o say_v that_o nature_n be_v never_o tedious_a in_o that_o which_o may_v be_v do_v a_o easy_a way_n this_o i_o will_v not_o grant_v you_o for_o nature_n do_v not_o still_o work_v the_o easy_a but_o the_o most_o convenient_a way_n but_o i_o deny_v that_o the_o earth_n motion_n be_v either_o more_o easy_a or_o more_o convenient_a than_o that_o of_o heaven_n for_o a_o light_a body_n such_o as_o heaven_n be_v be_v more_o easy_o move_v then_o a_o heavy_a and_o it_o be_v more_o convenient_a that_o the_o foundation_n of_o our_o house_n shall_v remain_v firm_a and_o stable_a then_o movable_a as_o i_o say_v i_o can_v tell_v you_o how_o laborious_a and_o tedious_a nature_n be_v in_o the_o perfect_a of_o man_n body_n and_o of_o many_o other_o thing_n therefore_o she_o do_v not_o take_v still_o the_o most_o compendious_a way_n 3._o you_o say_v it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o the_o heaven_n shall_v undergo_v so_o great_a and_o constant_a a_o work_n which_o may_v be_v save_v by_o the_o circumvolution_n of_o the_o earth_n body_n how_o tender_a heart_a be_v you_o be_v you_o afraid_a that_o the_o heaven_n will_v grow_v weary_a and_o i_o pray_v you_o be_v not_o heaven_n sitter_n to_o undergo_v a_o great_a and_o constant_a work_n then_o the_o earth_n so_o small_a so_o dull_a so_o heavy_a so_o subject_a to_o change_v a_o great_a work_n be_v fit_a for_o a_o great_a body_n and_o a_o constant_a work_n fit_a for_o that_o body_n that_o know_v no_o unconstancy_n 4._o you_o be_v deceive_v when_o you_o say_v that_o the_o heaven_n receive_v no_o perfection_n by_o its_o motion_n but_o be_v make_v serviceable_a to_o this_o little_a ball_n of_o earth_n the_o perfection_n of_o heaven_n consist_v in_o its_o motion_n as_o the_o earth_n perfection_n in_o its_o rest_n neither_o be_v heaven_n make_v to_o serve_v this_o ball_n but_o to_o serve_v he_o who_o be_v make_v lord_n of_o this_o ball_n 5._o your_o simile_n of_o a_o mother_n warm_v her_o child_n of_o a_o cook_n roast_v his_o meat_n of_o a_o man_n on_o a_o tower_n of_o a_o watch_n maker_n be_v all_o frivolous_a for_o a_o mother_n turn_v her_o child_n and_o a_o cook_n his_o
