Summary

Numerous Scripture passages seemed to affirm the stability of the Earth and the mobility of the Sun, including Psalm 104:5. Would the principle of accommodation, as defended by Augustine, Aquinas or Calvin, imply that these passages should be interpreted with reference only to how nature appears to the eye? This is the rare first issue of the first edition. Ruth 3:15 reads: “he went into the citie.” This was a typographical misprint, and was soon corrected to “she went into the citie.” The Bizzell Bible Collection also holds a copy of the “She issue,” which are more numerous.
