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

the_o fire_n than_o the_o air_n than_o the_o water_n and_o low_a of_o all_o the_o earth_n as_o be_v the_o gross_a and_o reason_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o order_n and_o what_o a_o

that_o the_o earth_n be_v of_o a_o base_a matter_n than_o the_o planet_n the_o obscurity_n and_o dulness_n of_o the_o one_o the_o beauty_n light_n and_o swiftness_n of_o the_o other_o do_v show_v

according_a to_o his_o folly_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o you_o answer_v not_o at_o all_o to_o these_o foolish_a foundation_n of_o we_o but_o only_o with_o this_o they_o be_v the_o thing_n in_o question_n but_o if_o you_o question_v the_o stability_n and_o gravity_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v not_o your_o question_n as_o foolish_a as_o our_o foundation_n but_o see_v you_o may_v question_v every_o thing_n every_o thing_n may_v be_v a_o foolish_a answer_n or_o position_n to_o you_o and_o what_o do_v you_o think_v of_o the_o scripture_n when_o it_o say_v the_o earth_n stand_v fast_o and_o the_o star_n move_v do_v the_o scripture_n in_o this_o speak_v foolish_o sure_o we_o be_v content_a to_o prefer_v the_o foolishness_n of_o scripture_n to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o your_o scribble_n because_o such_o conceit_a wisdom_n be_v but_o foolishness_n with_o god_n what_o foundation_n either_o in_o divinity_n or_o philosophy_n what_o article_n of_o the_o creed_n have_v not_o be_v question_v shall_v they_o be_v count_v foolish_a foundation_n or_o unfit_a to_o discuss_v controversy_n because_o they_o have_v be_v question_v by_o pernicious_a heretic_n if_o you_o be_v as_o wise_a a_o man_n as_o you_o pretend_v yourself_o to_o be_v you_o shall_v have_v with_o solid_a argument_n refell_v our_o foundation_n which_o be_v so_o full_o demonstrate_v by_o so_o many_o philosopher_n

master_n of_o syllogism_n who_o do_v not_o suppose_v what_o he_o pretend_v to_o prove_v but_o substantial_o prove_v what_o you_o think_v he_o suppose_v he_o say_v the_o earth_n be_v the_o centre_n and_o thus_o syllogistical_o out_o of_o he_o it_o be_v prove_v to_o what_o place_n heavy_a body_n descend_v that_o place_n be_v the_o centre_n but_o to_o the_o earth_n heavy_a body_n descend_v ergo_fw-la the_o earth_n be_v the_o centre_n you_o see_v now_o that_o this_o master_n of_o syllogism_n do_v not_o suppose_v that_o which_o he_o bring_v unto_o the_o conclusion_n but_o prove_v the_o earth_n to_o be_v the_o centre_n by_o a_o medium_n which_o you_o can_v answer_v so_o that_o be_v put_v to_o your_o shift_n you_o know_v not_o how_o to_o elude_v the_o force_n of_o this_o and_o other_o argument_n but_o by_o fall_v to_o your_o art_n of_o multiply_a centre_n and_o circumference_n which_o be_v not_o difficult_a to_o you_o that_o can_v multiply_v world_n and_o because_o cause_v you_o can_v be_v so_o impudent_a as_o to_o deny_v the_o ascend_n of_o light_a body_n you_o say_v that_o they_o ascend_v to_o some_o circumference_n which_o we_o can_v reasonable_o affirm_v to_o be_v

to_o be_v concentricall_a to_o the_o world_n if_o neither_o you_o nor_o we_o can_v perceive_v that_o circumference_n to_o which_o light_a body_n ascend_v eccentrical_a to_o the_o world_n what_o reason_n have_v you_o to_o affirm_v it_o or_o how_o do_v you_o prove_v what_o you_o affirm_v may_v you_o not_o as_o well_o tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v more_o sun_n than_o this_o one_o which_o we_o see_v for_o you_o will_v say_v that_o we_o can_v reasonable_o affirm_v there_o be_v but_o one_o sun_n but_o you_o say_v we_o can_v prove_v the_o descent_n of_o heavy_a body_n to_o the_o centre_n nor_o the_o ascent_n of_o light_a body_n to_o the_o circumference_n of_o the_o world_n because_o all_o our_o experience_n in_o this_o kind_n extend_v but_o to_o thing_n that_o be_v on_o earth_n or_o in_o

and_o we_o may_v more_o bold_o infer_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o centre_n and_o one_o circumference_n because_o all_o light_a thing_n ascend_v to_o one_o circumference_n and_o all_o heavy_a thing_n descend_v to_o one_o centre_n than_o you_o can_v infer_v two_o centre_n and_o two_o circumference_n whereas_o you_o never_o know_v any_o light_a thing_n ascend_v or_o heavy_a thing_n descend_v to_o any_o other_o circumference_n and_o centre_n then_o to_o these_o which_o we_o maintain_v be_v not_o you_o therefore_o much_o more_o senseless_a than_o we_o for_o we_o follow_v the_o direction_n
