judgement_n as_o to_o rank_v this_o arguer_n in_o any_o of_o the_o three_o order_n if_o you_o have_v patience_n to_o read_v over_o his_o pamphlet_n you_o will_v best_o see_v how_o and_o where_o to_o set_v he_o in_o his_o proper_a place_n we_o now_o proceed_v to_o those_o passage_n in_o the_o answer_n which_o probable_o have_v most_o exasperate_v the_o author_n of_o the_o exception_n and_o the_o defence_n etc._n in_o his_o exception_n he_o have_v say_v the_o moon_n be_v present_a or_o in_o her_o present_a place_n in_o the_o firmament_n at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o chaos_n she_o will_v certain_o trouble_v and_o discompose_v it_o as_o she_o do_v now_o the_o water_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n hinder_v the_o formation_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o this_o we_o answer_v that_o the_o moon_n that_o be_v make_v the_o four_o day_n can_v not_o hinder_v the_o formation_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o be_v make_v the_o 3d._a day_n this_o be_v a_o plain_a intelligible_a answer_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n discover_v such_o a_o manifest_a blunder_n in_o the_o objection_n as_o can_v not_o but_o give_v a_o uneasy_a thought_n to_o he_o that_o make_v it_o however_o we_o must_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o he_o make_v some_o attempt_n to_o shift_v it_o off_o in_o his_o reply_n 12._o for_o he_o say_v the_o earth_n form_v the_o 3d._a day_n be_v moses_n earth_n which_o the_o excepter_n contend_v for_o but_o the_o earth_n he_o dispute_v against_o be_v the_o theorist_n which_o can_v not_o be_v form_v the_o 3d._a day_n he_o shall_v have_v add_v and_o therefore_o will_v be_v hinder_v by_o the_o moon_n otherwise_o this_o take_v off_o nothing_o and_o now_o the_o question_n come_v to_o a_o clear_a state_n for_o when_o the_o excepter_n say_v the_o moon_n will_v have_v hinder_v the_o formation_n of_o the_o earth_n either_o he_o speak_v upon_o moses_n hypothesis_n or_o upon_o the_o theorist_n hypothesis_n not_o upon_o the_o theorist_n hypothesis_n 78._o for_o the_o theorist_n do_v not_o suppose_v the_o moon_n present_v then_o and_o if_o he_o speak_v upon_o moses_n hypothesis_n 13._o the_o moon_n that_o be_v make_v the_o four_o day_n must_v have_v hinder_v the_o formation_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o 3d._a day_n so_o that_o the_o objection_n be_v a_o blunder_n upon_o either_o hypothesis_n furthermore_o whereas_o he_o suggest_v that_o the_o answerer_n make_v use_v of_o moses_n hypothesis_n to_o confute_v his_o adversary_n but_o do_v not_o follow_v it_o himself_o it_o be_v so_o far_o true_a that_o the_o theorist_n never_o say_v that_o moses_n six-day_n creation_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v literal_o but_o however_o it_o be_v just_o urge_v against_o those_o that_o understand_v it_o literal_o and_o they_o must_v not_o contradict_v that_o interpretation_n which_o they_o own_o and_o defend_v so_o much_o for_o the_o moon_n and_o this_o first_o passage_n which_o i_o suppose_v be_v troublesome_a to_o our_o author_n but_o he_o make_v the_o same_o blunder_n in_o another_o place_n as_o to_o the_o sun_n both_o the_o luminary_n it_o seem_v stand_v in_o his_o way_n in_o the_o 10_o chapter_n of_o his_o exception_n he_o give_v we_o a_o new_a hypothesis_n about_o the_o origin_n of_o mountain_n which_o in_o short_a be_v this_o that_o they_o be_v draw_v or_o suck_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n by_o the_o influence_n and_o instrumentality_n of_o the_o sun_n whereas_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o make_v according_a to_o moses_n till_o the_o four_o day_n and_o the_o earth_n be_v form_v the_o 3d._a day_n it_o be_v a_o unhappy_a thing_n to_o split_v twice_o upon_o the_o same_o rock_n and_o upon_o a_o rock_n so_o visible_a he_o that_o can_v but_o reckon_v to_o four_o can_v tell_v whether_o the_o 3d._a day_n or_o four_o day_n come_v soon_o to_o cure_v this_o hypothesis_n about_o the_o origin_n of_o mountain_n 101_o he_o take_v great_a pain_n in_o his_o defence_n and_o attempt_n to_o do_v it_o chief_o by_o help_n of_o a_o distinction_n divide_v mountain_n into_o maritime_a and_o inland_a now_o it_o be_v true_a say_v he_o these_o maritime_a mountain_n and_o such_o as_o be_v make_v with_o the_o hollow_a of_o the_o sea_n must_v rise_v when_o that_o be_v sink_v or_o depress_v namely_o the_o 3d._a day_n yet_o inland_a one_o he_o say_v may_v be_v raise_v some_o early_a and_o some_o late_a and_o by_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o sun_n this_o be_v a_o weak_a and_o vain_a attempt_n to_o defend_v his_o notion_n for_o beside_o that_o this_o distinction_n of_o maritime_a and_o inland_a mountain_n as_o arise_v from_o different_a cause_n and_o at_o different_a time_n be_v without_o any_o ground_n either_o in_o scripture_n or_o reason_n if_o their_o different_a origin_n be_v admit_v the_o sun_n be_v extract_v these_o inland_a mountain_n out_o of_o the_o earth_n will_v still_o be_v absurd_a and_o incongruous_a upon_o other_o account_n scripture_n i_o say_v make_v no_o such_o distinction_n of_o mountain_n make_v at_o different_a time_n and_o from_o different_a cause_n this_o be_v plain_a see_v moses_n do_v not_o mention_v mountain_n at_o all_o in_o his_o six-day_n creation_n nor_o any_o where_o else_o till_o the_o deluge_n what_o authority_n have_v we_o then_o to_o make_v this_o distinction_n or_o to_o suppose_v that_o all_o the_o great_a mountain_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v not_o make_v together_o beside_o what_o length_n of_o time_n will_v you_o require_v for_o the_o production_n of_o these_o inland_a mountain_n be_v they_o not_o all_o make_v within_o the_o six-day_n creation_n hear_v what_o moses_n say_v at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o 6_o day_n thus_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n be_v finish_v 21._o and_o all_o the_o host_n of_o they_o and_o on_o the_o seven_o day_n god_n end_v his_o work_n which_o he_o have_v make_v now_o if_o the_o excepter_n say_v that_o the_o mountain_n be_v all_o make_v within_o these_o six-day_n we_o will_v not_o stand_v with_o he_o for_o a_o day_n or_o two_o for_o that_o will_v make_v little_a difference_n as_o to_o the_o action_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o if_o he_o will_v not_o confine_v their_o production_n to_o moses_n six_o day_n how_o do_v he_o keep_v to_o the_o moysaicall_a hypothesis_n or_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v where_o he_o will_v stop_v in_o his_o own_o way_n for_o if_o they_o be_v not_o make_v within_o the_o six_o day_n for_o any_o thing_n he_o know_v they_o may_v not_o be_v make_v till_o the_o deluge_n see_v scripture_n no_o where_o mention_n mountain_n before_o the_o flood_n and_o as_o scripture_n make_v no_o distinction_n of_o maritime_a and_o inland_a mountain_n so_o neither_o have_v this_o distinction_n any_o foundation_n in_o nature_n or_o reason_n for_o there_o be_v no_o apparent_a or_o discernible_a difference_n betwixt_o maritime_a and_o inland_a mountain_n nor_o any_o reason_n why_o they_o shall_v be_v think_v to_o proceed_v from_o different_a cause_n or_o to_o be_v raise_v at_o different_a time_n the_o maritime_a mountain_n be_v as_o rocky_a as_o ruderous_a and_o as_o irregular_a and_o various_a in_o their_o shape_n and_o posture_n as_o the_o inland_a mountain_n they_o have_v no_o distinctive_a character_n nor_o any_o different_a property_n internal_a or_o external_a in_o their_o matter_n form_n or_o composition_n that_o can_v give_v we_o any_o ground_n to_o believe_v that_o they_o come_v from_o a_o different_a original_a so_o that_o this_o distinction_n be_v mere_o precarious_a neither_o found_v in_o scripture_n nor_o reason_n but_o make_v for_o the_o nonce_n to_o serve_v a_o turn_n beside_o what_o bound_n will_v you_o give_v to_o these_o maritime_a mountain_n be_v they_o distinguish_v from_o inland_a mountain_n bare_o by_o their_o distance_n from_o the_o sea_n or_o by_o some_o other_o character_n if_o bare_o by_o distance_n tell_v we_o then_o how_o far_o from_o the_o sea_n do_v the_o maritime_a mountain_n reach_v and_o where_o do_v the_o inland_n begin_v and_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v the_o terminalis_fw-la lapis_fw-la especial_o in_o a_o continue_a chain_n of_o mountain_n that_o reach_n from_o the_o sea_n many_o hundred_o of_o mile_n inland_a as_o the_o alps_n from_o the_o ocean_n to_o pontus_n euxinus_n ●●●_o and_o taurus_n as_o he_o say_v fifteen_o hundred_o mile_n in_o length_n from_o the_o chinese_n ocean_n to_o the_o sea_n of_o pamphylia_n in_o such_o a_o uninterrupted_a
