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

we_o to_o believe_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o assertion_n and_o yet_o you_o spurn_v at_o scripture_n sense_n and_o reason_n as_o if_o your_o fancy_n be_v instar_fw-la omnium_fw-la will_v have_v our_o

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

say_v that_o if_o the_o scripture_n have_v say_v the_o earth_n rise_v and_o set_v and_o the_o sun_n stand_v still_o the_o people_n be_v unacquainted_a with_o that_o secret_a will_v not_o have_v understand_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o answ._n what_o matter_n be_v it_o whether_o they_o have_v understand_v it_o or_o not_o for_o you_o tell_v we_o that_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o necessary_a in_o themselves_o and_o that_o it_o be_v beside_o the_o scope_n of_o these_o place_n to_o instruct_v we_o in_o philosophical_a point_n will_v you_o have_v the_o holy_a ghost_n then_o speak_v a_o falsehood_n for_o fear_v lest_o we_o shall_v not_o understand_v the_o meaning_n of_o a_o secret_a which_o be_v not_o necessary_a for_o we_o to_o know_v if_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a for_o we_o to_o know_v whether_o the_o earth_n stand_v or_o not_o so_o it_o be_v less_o needful_a for_o the_o scripture_n to_o say_v the_o earth_n stand_v when_o it_o do_v not_o stand_v but_o you_o do_v well_o to_o call_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n a_o secret_a for_o so_o it_o be_v a_o great_a secret_a hide_v from_o the_o wise_a and_o prudent_a of_o this_o world_n and_o reveal_v only_o to_o such_o babe_n as_o yourself_o but_o why_o be_v this_o a_o secret_a if_o it_o be_v a_o natural_a effect_n it_o be_v no_o secret_a for_o though_o natural_a cause_n do_v not_o incur_v into_o our_o sense_n yet_o the_o effect_n do_v and_o if_o this_o be_v a_o secret_a effect_n and_o not_o sensible_a it_o can_v be_v a_o effect_n of_o nature_n but_o i_o think_v it_o be_v such_o another_o secret_n as_o the_o philosopher_n stone_n which_o never_o be_v and_o never_o shall_v be_v though_o it_o be_v beside_o the_o chief_a scope_n of_o scripture_n to_o instruct_v we_o in_o philosophical_a point_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o these_o philosophical_a term_n be_v to_o be_v otherwise_o understand_v then_o as_o they_o be_v express_v there_o be_v many_o geographical_a historical_a and_o chronological_a passage_n in_o scripture_n mention_v incident_o and_o not_o chief_o to_o instruct_v we_o in_o such_o point_n shall_v we_o therefore_o understand_v they_o otherwise_o then_o they_o be_v set_v down_o or_o rather_o the_o clean_a contrary_a way_n but_o when_o you_o say_v the_o earth_n motion_n be_v beyond_o our_o reach_n i_o grant_v it_o because_o we_o can_v reach_v that_o which_o be_v not_o make_v manifest_a to_o we_o either_o by_o sense_n or_o reason_n or_o divine_a authority_n if_o you_o can_v either_o of_o these_o way_n make_v it_o appear_v i_o doubt_v not_o but_o our_o understanding_n will_v reach_v it_o and_o if_o you_o can_v one_o of_o these_o way_n make_v it_o appear_v to_o we_o we_o will_v account_v it_o a_o mere_a nothing_o for_o idem_fw-la est_fw-la non_fw-la esse_fw-la &_o non_fw-la videri_fw-la and_o indeed_o you_o say_v well_o out_o of_o the_o gloss_n that_o god_n do_v not_o teach_v curiosity_n which_o be_v not_o apprehend_v easy_o for_o your_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v a_o incomprehensible_a curiosity_n and_o it_o be_v well_o say_v by_o you_o again_o that_o the_o scripture_n authority_n may_v be_v question_v if_o it_o do_v teach_v natural_a thing_n contrary_a to_o our_o sense_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o book_n of_o scripture_n shall_v affirm_v as_o you_o do_v that_o the_o earth_n move_v natural_o and_o circular_o i_o shall_v very_o believe_v that_o that_o book_n have_v never_o be_v indict_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n but_o rather_o by_o a_o pythagorean_n spirit_n or_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o dutch_a beer_n you_o condemn_v tertullia_n heretic_n for_o retch_v scripture_n a_o wrong_a way_n and_o force_v it_o to_o some_o other_o sense_n agreeable_a to_o their_o false_a imagination_n and_o rather_o than_o they_o will_v
