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

wit_n that_o be_v true_a which_o be_v affirm_v by_o divine_a authority_n rather_o than_o that_o which_o be_v guess_v at_o by_o humane_a infirmity_n for_o there_o he_o speak_v of_o philosophical_a point_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v contrary_a to_o scripture_n but_o you_o be_v mistake_v when_o you_o say_v that_o god_n descend_v to_o our_o capacity_n in_o natural_a thing_n and_o conform_v his_o expression_n to_o the_o mistake_n of_o our_o judgement_n as_o he_o do_v apply_v himself_o to_o our_o apprehension_n by_o be_v represent_v like_o a_o man_n there_o be_v infinite_a odds_n between_o god_n and_o natural_a thing_n we_o that_o be_v corporal_a can_v understand_v spiritual_a thing_n much_o less_o that_o infinite_a spirit_n but_o by_o familiar_a expression_n yet_o such_o as_o do_v in_o

natural_a thing_n there_o be_v no_o such_o necessity_n because_o natural_a man_n by_o nature_n light_n be_v able_a to_o understand_v natural_a thing_n so_o we_o know_v what_o a_o circular_a motion_n be_v and_o if_o the_o earth_n do_v true_o move_v we_o shall_v as_o soon_o apprehend_v the_o motion_n of_o it_o as_o we_o do_v the_o sun_n motion_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o need_n why_o god_n shall_v descend_v to_o our_o capacity_n in_o affirm_v a_o untruth_n because_o we_o can_v understand_v the_o earth_n motion_n god_n then_o do_v not_o conform_v his_o expression_n to_o the_o error_n of_o our_o judgement_n for_o our_o judgement_n do_v not_o err_v in_o this_o but_o he_o speak_v according_a to_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o judge_v and_o apprehend_v as_o it_o be_v we_o apprehend_v the_o fire_n to_o be_v hot_a if_o you_o be_v of_o a_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v cold_a which_o you_o may_v as_o well_o maintain_v as_o the_o earth_n motion_n you_o will_v doubtless_o

and_o in_o the_o 75._o pag._n of_o your_o book_n you_o say_v it_o be_v a_o frequent_a custom_n for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o speak_v of_o natural_a thing_n rather_o according_a to_o appearance_n and_o common_a opinion_n than_o the_o truth_n itself_o i_o will_v 1._o know_v if_o this_o consequence_n be_v logic_n the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v of_o natural_a thing_n according_a to_o appearance_n

to_o man_n opinion_n and_o capacity_n as_o that_o he_o be_v angry_a that_o he_o repent_v etc._n etc._n ergo_fw-la the_o scripture_n speak_v still_o of_o god_n thus_o and_o so_o when_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n or_o just_a or_o infinite_a or_o eternal_a that_o may_v be_v understand_v if_o your_o logic_n be_v good_a according_a to_o opinion_n or_o appearance_n this_o will_v prove_v a_o dangerous_a kind_n of_o reason_v 2._o why_o do_v not_o the_o holy_a ghost_n tell_v we_o in_o plain_a term_n that_o the_o earth_n move_v if_o it_o do_v move_v what_o end_n

understand_v the_o earth_n motion_n if_o it_o do_v move_v or_o be_v it_o because_o the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v not_o give_v offence_n to_o the_o world_n in_o tell_v they_o plain_o that_o the_o earth_n move_v be_v a_o opinion_n so_o repugnant_a to_o sense_n and_o reason_n then_o doubtless_o he_o will_v not_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n stand_v still_o at_o ioshua_n command_n or_o that_o the_o sea_n be_v divide_v by_o moses_n rod_n and_o those_o other_o miracle_n of_o holy_a writ_n as_o much_o repugnant_a to_o sense_n and_o natural_a reason_n as_o the_o earth_n motion_n be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n use_v not_o to_o hide_v or_o mince_v the_o truth_n for_o fear_n of_o offend_a man_n 3._o there_o be_v great_a odds_n between_o asseveration_n and_o allusion_n between_o the_o affirmation_n of_o a_o truth_n and_o a_o allusion_n to_o a_o fiction_n the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o perverse_a man_n that_o will_v not_o hear_v god_n word_n allude_v to_o the_o fiction_n as_o you_o call_v it_o of_o the_o adder_n stop_v his_o ear_n ergo_fw-la when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o the_o earth_n immobility_n it_o speak_v according_a to_o common_a opinion_n a_o goodly_a

of_o the_o behead_v of_o john_n baptist_n it_o speak_v according_a to_o common_a opinion_n if_o there_o be_v no_o better_a logic_n teach_v in_o the_o university_n of_o the_o moon_n we_o will_v never_o

the_o eleven_o session_n of_o the_o three_o lateran_n council_n 5._o the_o ancient_a father_n warn_v we_o that_o we_o do_v not_o deviate_v or_o depart_v from_o the_o literal_a sense_n of_o scripture_n so_o long_o as_o no_o absurdity_n do_v follow_v thereupon_o now_o no_o absurdity_n do_v follow_v upon_o the_o literal_a sense_n of_o the_o earth_n immobilitie_n but_o upon_o your_o sense_n and_o exposition_n many_o absurdity_n follow_v therefore_o we_o must_v not_o depart_v from_o the_o literal_a sense_n 6._o where_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v obscure_o and_o figurative_o in_o one_o place_n he_o do_v in_o another_o place_n open_v himself_o in_o plain_a term_n as_o saint_n 19_o hierome_n observe_v but_o speak_v of_o the_o earth_n immobilitie_n he_o use_v still_o the_o same_o phrase_n neither_o do_v he_o explain_v himself_o otherwise_o in_o any_o one_o place_n which_o doubtless_o he_o will_v have_v do_v if_o he_o have_v mean_v otherwise_o then_o he_o speak_v 7._o i_o absolute_o

the_o sun_n be_v in_o his_o glory_n like_o a_o bridegroom_n and_o in_o his_o motion_n like_o a_o giant_n i_o answer_v if_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o his_o motion_n like_o a_o giant_n then_o sure_a the_o

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

be_v make_v of_o the_o sweat_n of_o the_o aeones_n with_o the_o valentinian_o or_o whatsoever_o other_o absurd_a opinion_n they_o shall_v hold_v you_o will_v make_v the_o scripture_n say_v so_o and_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
