and_o press_v down_o so_o that_o unless_o this_o our_o planet_n be_v surround_v quite_o about_o with_o other_o planet_n no_o force_n can_v make_v it_o extend_v into_o a_o oblong_a but_o it_o will_v as_o i_o say_v extend_v into_o a_o equal_a circumference_n and_o if_o they_o be_v so_o place_v round_o about_o than_o all_o the_o planet_n must_v be_v equal_o oblong_v on_o their_o press_a side_n yet_o none_o of_o they_o do_v appear_v unto_o we_o in_o a_o oblong_a but_o in_o a_o round_a form_n and_o further_o he_o himself_o acknowledge_v the_o planet_n all_o to_o lie_v one_o above_o another_o and_o so_o they_o can_v only_o press_v one_o another_o into_o a_o round_a circumference_n as_o i_o say_v before_o we_o find_v yet_o no_o cause_n for_o a_o oblong_a form_n and_o how_o know_v our_o

in_o his_o new-found_a world_n which_o he_o have_v make_v void_a of_o fountain_n or_o any_o other_o mean_n to_o water_n and_o refresh_v it_o and_o have_v bring_v in_o a_o new_a invention_n of_o

resolve_v i_o in_o how_o these_o hollow_n for_o lake_n and_o channel_n for_o so_o great_a river_n as_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v when_o one_o river_n divide_v itself_o as_o it_o go_v into_o so_o many_o part_n towards_o the_o torrid_a zone_n i_o say_v how_o these_o hollow_n and_o channel_n come_v to_o be_v in_o his_o perfect_a spherical_a world_n for_o i_o hope_v he_o will_v not_o desert_v his_o own_o principle_n that_o all_o fluid_a body_n be_v congeal_v or_o concrete_v rest_n in_o the_o same_o form_n as_o they_o be_v in_o before_o concretion_n who_o then_o make_v these_o channel_n for_o the_o river_n to_o run_v in_o or_o hollow_n for_o his_o lake_n to_o settle_v in_o true_o this_o do_v not_o seem_v to_o i_o coherent_a with_o his_o new_a form_n of_o earth_n for_o the_o vapour_n come_v down_o from_o above_o upon_o his_o new_a earth_n suppose_v it_o to_o be_v perfect_a spherical_a must_v needs_o either_o disperse_v abroad_o or_o sink_v equal_o in_o all_o place_n where_o they_o fall_v and_o can_v have_v no_o descent_n to_o carry_v they_o any_o way_n and_o thus_o can_v make_v up_o so_o great_a a_o body_n as_o we_o suppose_v his_o river_n must_v be_v towards_o the_o north_n where_o they_o fall_v nor_o will_v i_o allow_v any_o declivity_n from_o his_o pole_n towards_o the_o torrid_a zone_n have_v show_v he_o already_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a by_o his_o principle_n to_o shape_v his_o earth_n into_o a_o oblong_a form_n but_o all_o must_v be_v spherical_a beside_o when_o river_n run_v in_o a_o channel_n they_o never_o part_v but_o meet_v with_o some_o obstruction_n of_o high_a ground_n that_o force_v they_o to_o divide_v and_o then_o his_o river_n divide_v into_o so_o many_o several_a part_n plain_o show_v his_o earth_n have_v many_o hilly_a obstruction_n which_o force_v they_o to_o divide_v into_o several_a branch_n and_o this_o business_n of_o river_n will_v whole_o destroy_v this_o new_a fabric_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o run_v of_o water_n where_o the_o earth_n by_o reason_n of_o its_o spherical_a form_n can_v have_v no_o channel_n to_o receive_v the_o river_n nor_o any_o declivity_n or_o sink_a ground_n to_o convey_v they_o from_o the_o place_n they_o be_v in_o if_o he_o answer_v to_o the_o business_n of_o channel_n that_o though_o there_o be_v none_o at_o the_o first_o frame_v of_o his_o new_a earth_n yet_o the_o fall_n of_o those_o vapour_n which_o arise_v in_o the_o south_n and_o come_v fly_v into_o the_o north_n and_o there_o descend_v may_v in_o time_n work_v down_o channel_n into_o it_o and_o so_o make_v a_o current_n for_o river_n to_o run_v in_o i_o grant_v a_o strong_a fall_n of_o water_n continue_v in_o one_o place_n may_v make_v the_o earth_n sink_v into_o a_o hole_n and_o so_o flow_v over_o the_o part_n adjoin_v but_o i_o can_v see_v any_o cause_n that_o shall_v make_v those_o vapour_n descend_v any_o otherwise_o than_o in_o mist_n and_o fog_n upon_o the_o earth_n for_o there_o be_v no_o fierce_a wind_n to_o drive_v they_o in_o his_o temperate_a air_n they_o must_v needs_o fall_v as_o they_o rise_v universal_o and_o gentle_o scarce_o sensible_a in_o one_o

into_o the_o southern_a part_n there_o be_v as_o i_o say_v before_o no_o declivity_n to_o help_v they_o forward_o towards_o the_o south_n moreover_o channel_n be_v not_o make_v but_o by_o great_a fall_n of_o water_n when_o it_o descend_v from_o much_o the_o high_a ground_n into_o the_o low_a and_o with_o such_o little_a bank_n of_o earth_n on_o each_o side_n keep_v it_o in_o as_o force_v the_o current_n to_o carry_v the_o earth_n away_o before_o it_o and_o i_o pray_v whither_o shall_v this_o earth_n be_v convey_v in_o his_o spherical_a world_n so_o that_o of_o necessity_n the_o mist_n as_o i_o say_v fall_v gentle_o upon_o such_o a_o perfect_a round_o must_v equal_o distend_v themselves_o into_o all_o part_n alike_o and_o sink_v into_o the_o ground_n rather_o than_o make_v a_o current_n

during_o the_o time_n of_o make_v so_o great_a channel_n for_o such_o mighty_a river_n as_o to_o convey_v water_n enough_o to_o disperse_v itself_o into_o several_a vein_n for_o many_o thousand_o

neither_o show_v sincerity_n of_o intention_n nor_o clear_v any_o doctrine_n of_o scripture_n for_o he_o have_v not_o handle_v the_o scripture_n sincere_o in_o any_o one_o place_n of_o moment_n but_o in_o some_o place_n flat_o contradict_v they_o as_o i_o have_v show_v other_o he_o have_v wrest_v and_o turn_v from_o their_o own_o plain_a and_o easy_a understanding_n obscure_v all_o and_o force_v

of_o the_o key_n that_o he_o have_v bring_v into_o the_o world_n to_o open_v man_n understanding_n for_o many_o dark_a and_o obscure_a place_n in_o scripture_n make_v they_o facile_a and_o easy_a to_o

second_o part_n that_o if_o the_o apostle_n answer_v ad_fw-la idem_fw-la and_o take_v away_o their_o argument_n he_o must_v understand_v and_o show_v that_o the_o natural_a world_n have_v perish_v and_o be_v change_v for_o i_o shall_v take_v away_o their_o argument_n without_o any_o change_n in_o the_o former_a world_n and_o answer_v more_o ad_fw-la idem_fw-la than_o he_o do_v for_o notwithstanding_o all_o thing_n continue_v as_o they_o do_v yet_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n a_o flood_n come_v upon_o the_o old_a world_n and_o so_o though_o all_o thing_n continue_v now_o as_o they_o do_v from_o the_o beginning_n a_o fiery_a destruction_n shall_v come_v upon_o they_o for_o as_o i_o say_v in_o all_o this_o argument_n of_o the_o apostle_n the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v declare_v to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n be_v of_o old_a by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n a_o deluge_n come_v upon_o the_o world_n of_o the_o ungodly_a and_o so_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n a_o fiery_a destruction_n shall_v come_v upon_o they_o notwithstanding_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n and_o all_o thing_n continue_v as_o they_o do_v this_o be_v the_o scoffer_n argument_n and_o s._n peter_n thus_o confute_v it_o x._o second_o our_o theorist_n argue_v that_o these_o scoffer_n can_v not_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o deluge_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o change_n in_o the_o old_a world_n that_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o this_o man_n will_v not_o attend_v to_o what_o st._n peter_n say_v when_o it_o do_v not_o serve_v his_o turn_n no_o more_o than_o those_o scoffer_n do_v attend_v unto_o the_o old_a testament_n for_o st._n peter_n tell_v they_o that_o though_o they_o have_v the_o old_a testament_n read_v frequent_o unto_o they_o yet_o they_o be_v willing_o ignorant_a that_o be_v wilful_o and_o will_v not_o attend_v unto_o it_o but_o such_o a_o change_n as_o this_o man_n will_v have_v in_o the_o old_a world_n they_o be_v whole_o not_o wilful_o ignorant_a of_o and_o can_v not_o understand_v from_o moses_n any_o such_o change_n for_o moses_n have_v not_o a_o word_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o this_o be_v a_o plain_a argument_n that_o there_o be_v no_o change_n at_o all_o in_o the_o old_a world_n but_o they_o be_v willing_o ignorant_a of_o that_o which_o they_o may_v have_v plain_o learn_v from_o moses_n both_o the_o creation_n and_o the_o deluge_n xi_o three_o he_o say_v st._n peter_n take_v his_o argument_n from_o the_o conflagration_n which_o be_v a_o real_a destruction_n of_o the_o world_n and_o from_o thence_o must_v infer_v the_o destruction_n of_o the_o old_a world_n i_o say_v st._n peter_n do_v not_o take_v his_o argument_n from_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o earth_n by_o the_o conflagration_n for_o then_o the_o heaven_n must_v have_v be_v destroy_v in_o the_o old_a world_n as_o well_o as_o the_o earth_n i_o say_v the_o heaven_n not_o the_o firmament_n or_o the_o air_n alter_v but_o the_o whole_a heaven_n all_o quite_o consume_v by_o fire_n but_o st._n peter_n take_v his_o argument_n all_o along_o from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o i_o say_v before_o that_o as_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o deluge_n come_v unexpected_a so_o by_o the_o same_o word_n the_o conflagration_n shall_v come_v unexpected_a xii_o his_o four_o argument_n be_v the_o redundancy_n of_o the_o apostle_n discourse_v make_v the_o five_o verse_n whole_o supersluous_a but_o there_o be_v no_o redundancy_n in_o it_o if_o you_o take_v the_o argument_n as_o i_o lay_v it_o from_o god_n word_n and_o that_o he_o say_v i_o make_v the_o apostle_n tautological_n if_o he_o mean_v in_o this_o chapter_n the_o world_n of_o the_o ungodly_a for_o he_o mention_v it_o in_o the_o former_a chapter_n to_o this_o i_o say_v
