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. Ross, Alexander, 1591-1654. 1646 (1646) Wing R1970; ESTC R3474 118,883 127

a_o vulgar_a opinion_n to_o say_v that_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o heaven_n then_o all_o the_o chief_a learned_a both_o in_o divinity_n philosophy_n and_o poetry_n speak_v as_o the_o

than_o to_o adhere_v to_o god_n word_n from_o which_o when_o we_o wander_v we_o fall_v into_o many_o byway_n and_o whereas_o you_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o miracle_n be_v propose_v only_o concern_v the_o shadow_n i_o answer_v we_o be_v not_o to_o consider_v so_o much_o what_o be_v propose_v as_o what_o be_v effect_v god_n use_v to_o effect_v more_o than_o he_o propose_v and_o to_o perform_v more_o than_o he_o promise_v 2._o you_o say_v there_o will_v have_v be_v some_o intimation_n of_o the_o extraordinary_a length_n of_o the_o day_n as_o it_o be_v in_o that_o of_o joshua_n i_o answer_v there_o be_v no_o such_o reason_n why_o the_o length_n of_o this_o day_n shall_v be_v mention_v because_o this_o day_n be_v much_o short_a than_o ioshua_n in_o respect_n it_o fall_v out_o in_o the_o

but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o indefatigable_a swiftness_n of_o his_o motion_n he_o be_v compare_v to_o a_o mighty_a runner_n for_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o a_o giant_n in_o the_o
