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

a_o vulgar_a opinion_n to_o say_v that_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o heaven_n then_o all_o the_o chief_a learned_a both_o in_o divinity_n philosophy_n and_o poetry_n speak_v as_o the_o
