English term or phrase: appeal

There are some who think it necessary, in particular cases, to forsake wisdom (cf. Proverbs 4:6), lest their strictness should expose them to damage. But David here tells Solomon and us that this must be a dangerous error. The way of duty and of safety is still the same. Those who walk by faith will believe this, THOUGH IT APPEAL TO SUCH AS WALK BY SIGHT, AN ABSURDITY CONTRADICTED BY A THOUSAND FACTS.
['walk by faith' y 'walk by sight' = andar por fe y andar por vista (cf. 2 Corintios 5:7 Reina Valera)

No entiendo la segunda parte de la última frase.

Parecer

Explanation:
Parto de la hipótesis de que se trata de un error de imprenta.
Creo que debe decir "appear" en vez de "appeal".
La frase completa sería entoncens:
"aunque esto para quién camina guiado sólo lo vistoso le aparece una absurdidad contrariada por miles de hechos.

aunque los que caminan según lo que ven gusten caer en ese error

Explanation:
Vamos a la frase completa, siguiendo la terminología de la Biblia de América (que es la que entiendo): Los que caminan a la luz de la fe así lo entenderán, aunque los que caminan según lo que ven (guiándose por los ojos del cuerpo) gusten caer en aquel error(o sea, abandonar la sabiduría si implica sufrimiento), por más que la práctica haya demostrado mil veces loa bsurdo de ese proceder.
Creo que "appeal" es la palabra que corresponde, no es un error.
