he_o that_o shall_v go_v about_o thus_o to_o expose_v our_o saviour_n parable_n will_v have_v a_o thankless_a office_n and_o effect_v nothing_o for_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o will_v stand_v good_a still_o namely_o that_o man_n soul_n live_v after_o death_n and_o that_o good_a soul_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o ease_n and_o comfort_n and_o bad_a soul_n in_o a_o state_n of_o misery_n in_o like_a manner_n his_o ridicul_v some_o circumstance_n in_o the_o comparison_n make_v by_o the_o psalmist_n do_v not_o at_o all_o destroy_v the_o substance_n of_o that_o discourse_n namely_o that_o the_o sun_n move_v in_o the_o firmament_n with_o great_a swiftness_n and_o lustre_n and_o have_v the_o circuit_n of_o its_o motion_n round_o the_o earth_n this_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o what_o the_o psalmist_n declare_v and_o the_o rest_n be_v but_o a_o similitude_n which_o need_v not_o be_v literal_o just_a in_o all_o particular_n after_o this_o he_o will_v fain_o persuade_v the_o theorist_n that_o he_o have_v excuse_v the_o excepter_n for_o his_o recede_v from_o the_o literal_a sense_n as_o to_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n 208._o because_o he_o have_v grant_v that_o in_o certain_a case_n we_o may_v and_o must_v recede_v from_o the_o literal_a sense_n but_o where_o pray_v have_v he_o grant_v that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v one_o of_o those_o case_n yet_o suppose_v it_o be_v so_o may_v not_o the_o theorist_n then_o enjoy_v this_o privilege_n of_o recede_v from_o the_o literal_a sense_n upon_o occasion_n as_o well_o as_o the_o excepter_n if_o he_o will_v give_v as_o well_o as_o take_v this_o liberty_n let_v we_o mutual_o enjoy_v it_o but_o he_o can_v have_v no_o pretence_n to_o deny_v it_o to_o other_o and_o take_v it_o himself_o it_o use_v to_o be_v a_o rule_n in_o writing_n that_o a_o man_n must_v not_o stultum_fw-la fingere_fw-la lectorem_fw-la you_o must_v suppose_v your_o reader_n to_o have_v common_a sense_n but_o he_o that_o accuse_v another_o of_o blasphemy_n for_o recede_v from_o the_o literal_a sense_n of_o scripture_n in_o natural_a thing_n and_o do_v himself_o at_o the_o same_o time_n recede_v from_o the_o literal_a sense_n of_o scripture_n in_o natural_a thing_n one_o will_v think_v quoad_fw-la hoc_fw-la either_o have_v not_o or_o will_v not_o exercise_v common_a sense_n in_o a_o literal_a way_n last_o he_o come_v to_o the_o common_a know_a rule_n assign_v to_o direct_v we_o when_o every_o one_o ought_v to_o follow_v or_o leave_v the_o literal_a sense_n which_o be_v not_o to_o leave_v the_o literal_a sense_n 215._o when_o the_o subject_a matter_n will_v bear_v it_o without_o absurdity_n or_o incongruity_n this_o he_o repeat_v in_o the_o next_o page_n thus_o the_o rule_n be_v when_o no_o kind_n of_o absurdity_n or_o incongruity_n accrue_v to_o any_o text_n from_o the_o literal_a sense_n if_o this_o be_v his_o rule_n to_o what_o text_n do_v there_o accrue_v any_o absurdity_n or_o incongruity_n by_o suppose_v the_o sun_n to_o move_v for_o scripture_n always_o speak_v upon_o that_o supposition_n and_o not_o one_o word_n for_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n thus_o he_o state_v the_o rule_n but_o the_o answerer_n suppose_v that_o the_o absurdity_n or_o incongruity_n may_v arise_v from_o the_o subject_a matter_n and_o according_o he_o still_o maintain_v that_o there_o be_v as_o just_a reason_n from_o the_o subject_a matter_n and_o better_a authority_n for_o recede_v from_o the_o literal_a sense_n in_o the_o narrative_a of_o the_o six-day_n creation_n than_o in_o those_o text_n of_o scripture_n that_o speak_v of_o the_o motion_n and_o course_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o to_o affirm_v the_o earth_n to_o be_v move_v be_v as_o much_o blasphemy_n and_o more_o contrary_a to_o scripture_n than_o to_o affirm_v it_o to_o have_v be_v dissolve_v as_o the_o theorist_n have_v do_v sir_n i_o beg_v your_o excuse_n for_o this_o long_a letter_n and_o leave_v it_o to_o you_o to_o judge_v whether_o the_o
