A92179	Astrologia accusata pariter & condemnata. Or The diabolical art of judicial astrologie, receiving the definitive sentence of final condemnation: being delivered in this following discourse, where the said art is briefly and manifestly opened, justly arraigned, diligently examined, and experimentally condemned by him, who was a student in the same. / By John Raunce, sometime a practitioner of astrologie, and student in the magick art.	Raunce, John, 17th cent.	1650 (1650)	Wing R317; Thomason E618_11; ESTC R206349	30,300	42

yet_o then_o even_o than_o i_o will_v deny_v astrology_n to_o be_v a_o lawful_a art_n but_o now_o to_o return_v again_o to_o the_o aforesaid_a position_n of_o the_o astrologer_n which_o be_v this_o viz_o that_o the_o star_n be_v natural_a cause_n of_o such_o effect_n as_o astrologer_n foretell_v first_o i_o will_v examine_v this_o position_n and_o then_o shall_v we_o see_v whether_o those_o event_n which_o the_o astrologer_n foretell_v be_v cause_v by_o the_o star_n or_o not_o wherefore_o in_o the_o first_o place_n we_o be_v to_o know_v what_o those_o effect_n be_v which_o the_o astrologer_n say_v be_v cause_v by_o the_o star_n now_o the_o effect_n which_o the_o astrologer_n do_v affirm_v be_v cause_v by_o the_o star_n be_v these_o viz_o the_o particular_a event_n of_o those_o thing_n belong_v to_o man_n which_o thing_n be_v by_o the_o astrologer_n appropriate_v to_o the_o twelve_o house_n of_o heaven_n as_o for_o the_o thing_n who_o effect_n 50._o mr._n lily_n his_o intro_fw-la pa._n 50._o the_o astrologer_n say_v be_v cause_v by_o the_o star_n i_o have_v mention_v many_o of_o they_o in_o the_o second_o chapter_n of_o this_o discourse_n and_o therefore_o i_o refer_v you_o thither_o for_o there_o you_o have_v they_o insert_v into_o a_o figure_n according_a as_o they_o be_v by_o the_o astrologer_n appropriate_a to_o the_o twelve_o house_n now_o in_o this_o place_n i_o be_o to_o treat_v of_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a thing_n that_o be_v to_o say_v whether_o answer_n a_o question_n the_o answer_n or_o not_o the_o effect_n of_o those_o thing_n be_v cause_v by_o the_o star_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v negative_o and_o say_v that_o the_o star_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o effect_n of_o those_o thing_n belong_v to_o man_n as_o for_o example_n i_o will_v instance_n in_o these_o particular_n follow_v viz_o gauricus_n warn_v henry_n the_o second_o king_n of_o france_n 81._o heydon_n defence_n of_o astrology_n p._n 194._o

king_n of_o poland_n by_o a_o priest_n that_o he_o shall_v beware_v of_o eminent_a death_n because_o that_o many_o planet_n be_v conjoin_v this_o year_n and_o there_o happen_v a_o eclipse_n likewise_o of_o the_o moon_n under_o the_o earth_n notwithstanding_o the_o premonition_n he_o die_v that_o year_n 1434._o anno_fw-la aetatis_fw-la 49._o also_o picus_n be_v foretold_v by_o three_o astrologer_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o live_v above_o thirty_o three_o year_n confirm_v the_o prediction_n now_o that_o these_o aforesaid_a event_n be_v foretold_v by_o the_o say_a man_n viz_o astrologer_n i_o confess_v but_o that_o those_o man_n can_v fore_o see_v those_o event_n by_o the_o star_n or_o that_o the_o star_n be_v natural_a cause_n of_o those_o event_n both_o these_o thing_n i_o do_v deny_v for_o these_o reason_n first_o then_o i_o say_v that_o the_o star_n be_v not_o natural_a cause_n of_o those_o aforesaid_a event_n because_o there_o be_v a_o dependence_n and_o coherence_n between_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o effect_n in_o natural_a thing_n but_o in_o these_o thing_n there_o be_v none_o for_o every_o effect_n and_o accident_n do_v show_v its_o cause_n so_o that_o natural_a and_o elementary_a effect_n and_o accident_n show_v forth_o natural_a and_o elementary_a cause_n also_o metaphysical_a or_o supernatural_a effect_n and_o accident_n show_v forth_o metaphysical_a or_o supernatural_a cause_n herein_o the_o astrologer_n be_v beside_o the_o matter_n and_o be_v deceive_v in_o their_o principle_n for_o they_o take_v metaphysical_a or_o supernatural_a effect_n and_o accident_n to_o be_v effect_v by_o natural_a and_o elementary_a cause_n now_o why_o the_o astrologer_n be_v here_o deceive_v be_v this_o viz_o because_o they_o do_v behold_v and_o see_v many_o alteration_n change_n event_n and_o accident_n effect_v in_o man_n body_n hereupon_o they_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o say_v alteration_n change_n event_n and_o accident_n be_v effect_v by_o and_o from_o natural_a and_o elementary_a cause_n because_o the_o body_n of_o man_n upon_o who_o the_o say_a thing_n be_v effect_v be_v a_o natural_a and_o elementary_a substance_n wherefore_o i_o say_v that_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n which_o the_o astrologer_n affirm_v to_o be_v effect_v by_o and_o from_o natural_a cause_n the_o which_o position_n i_o do_v deny_v and_o say_v that_o those_o thing_n be_v not_o effect_v by_o nor_o from_o natural_a and_o elementary_a cause_n but_o i_o say_v that_o those_o thing_n be_v metaphysical_a and_o supernatural_a effect_n and_o accident_n and_o be_v effect_v and_o accomplish_v in_o natural_a and_o elementary_a body_n by_o a_o metaphysical_a and_o supernatural_a cause_n as_o i_o will_v hereafter_o in_o these_o follow_a example_n declare_v for_o whereas_o the_o astrologer_n do_v impute_v the_o flood_n mundi_fw-la albumazar_n ca._n 3._o de_fw-fr max._n conjunc_fw-la marcilius_n ficinus_fw-la in_o his_o treatise_n of_o the_o star_n that_o lead_v the_o wiseman_n spine_n we_o in_o catastro_n mundi_fw-la which_o be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o noah_n to_o a_o certain_a great_a conjunction_n of_o the_o planet_n so_o in_o like_a manner_n they_o say_v of_o the_o birth_n of_o moses_n also_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o promulgation_n and_o publication_n of_o the_o law_n the_o sedition_n of_o the_o people_n their_o trouble_n persecution_n banishment_n bloodshed_n death_n war_n these_o and_o many_o other_o such_o like_a thing_n as_o these_o be_v the_o astrologer_n say_v be_v foreshowed_n by_o the_o star_n now_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v supernatural_a effect_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o be_v such_o thing_n who_o cause_n be_v not_o natural_a but_o above_o nature_n so_o then_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o cause_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v a_o metaphysical_a agent_n therefore_o i_o deny_v that_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a thing_n can_v be_v cause_v by_o a_o physical_a constellation_n but_o now_o i_o be_o come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n which_o be_v this_o viz_o that_o no_o man_n can_v by_o the_o star_n foresee_v such_o effect_n as_o be_v aforesaid_a now_o that_o no_o man_n can_v by_o the_o star_n foresee_v such_o event_n it_o be_v very_o manifest_a for_o if_o all_o the_o stargazer_n in_o the_o world_n if_o they_o be_v agazing_a all_o together_o at_o once_o on_o the_o star_n they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o foresee_v those_o event_n in_o the_o star_n which_o event_n they_o do_v not_o cause_v that_o the_o star_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o those_o event_n it_o be_v the_o say_n of_o some_o of_o your_o own_o author_n for_o say_v spineus_n that_o as_o well_o the_o great_a conjunction_n spineus_n spineus_n as_o mo●kstars_n comet_n eclipse_n and_o the_o like_a ought_v not_o to_o be_v call_v the_o cause_n of_o future_a event_n here_o than_o you_o may_v see_v that_o there_o be_v so_o great_a contradiction_n between_o the_o say_n of_o the_o astrologer_n and_o their_o practice_n that_o all_o rational_a man_n may_v behold_v the_o art_n of_o astrology_n to_o be_v a_o foolish_a lie_a art_n and_o that_o the_o astrologer_n do_v profess_v such_o a_o art_n who_o rule_n they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o for_o sometime_o you_o shall_v have_v they_o say_v with_o spineus_n that_o the_o star_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o future_a event_n but_o do_v they_o always_o say_v thus_o no_o for_o if_o we_o look_v upon_o their_o astrological_a prediction_n then_o shall_v we_o hear_v they_o say_v the_o very_a contrary_n for_o whereas_o they_o say_v at_o one_o time_n that_o the_o great_a conjunction_n of_o the_o planet_n etc._n etc._n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o future_a event_n at_o another_o time_n you_o shall_v have_v they_o say_v that_o the_o very_a same_o conjunction_n do_v produce_v great_a effect_n as_o for_o example_n i_o will_v instance_n in_o the_o say_v spineus_n who_o be_v cite_v afore_o mundi_fw-la spineus_n in_o catastrophe_n mundi_fw-la who_o word_n be_v thus_o in_o one_o place_n of_o his_o book_n viz._n that_o as_o well_o the_o great_a conjunction_n as_o mock-star_n comet_n eclipse_n and_o the_o like_a ought_v not_o to_o be_v call_v the_o cause_n of_o future_a event_n but_o this_o very_a man_n spineus_n write_v of_o a_o future_a catastrophe_n to_o come_v upon_o the_o world_n in_o the_o same_o book_n say_v thus_o speak_v of_o the_o say_a catastrophe_n subversion_n or_o end_n of_o the_o world_n viz_o that_o the_o principal_a cause_n be_v the_o great_a mean_a and_o lesser_a conjunction_n of_o the_o superior_a planet_n the_o other_o

a_o witness_n be_v against_o these_o wicked_a art_n as_o here_o it_o be_v set_v forth_o by_o i_o to_o the_o grief_n of_o your_o heart_n john_n raunce_n a_o discourse_n against_o judicial_a astrology_n

author_n call_v judicial_a astrology_n i_o think_v it_o convenient_a here_o to_o set_v forth_o in_o few_o word_n what_o i_o mean_v by_o judicial_a astrology_n which_o be_v brief_o thus_o define_v viz._n by_o judicial_a astrology_n i_o understand_v astrological_a prediction_n in_o which_o the_o astrologer_n do_v foretell_v the_o particular_a event_n of_o thing_n belong_v to_o man_n for_o as_o

therefore_o i_o declare_v that_o this_o aforesaid_a art_n of_o judicial_a astrology_n be_v a_o secret_a diabolical_a divination_n as_o it_o be_v elsewhere_o by_o i_o divulge_v moreover_o i_o do_v affirm_v the_o say_a art_n of_o astrology_n to_o be_v full_a of_o idolatry_n and_o superstition_n and_o be_v contrary_n unto_o the_o scripture_n as_o i_o shall_v here_o manifest_v and_o prove_v to_o all_o rational_a man_n who_o i_o desire_v well_o to_o consider_v this_o first_o here_o note_v here_o viz._n that_o no_o astrologer_n can_v or_o be_v able_a according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o say_a art_n to_o predict_v or_o foretell_v the_o event_n or_o end_n of_o any_o particular_a thing_n belong_v unto_o man_n but_o by_o their_o superstitious_a and_o idolatrous_a observe_v and_o regard_v

because_o of_o the_o positious_a of_o the_o star_n now_o we_o may_v see_v how_o that_o solomon_n say_v and_o so_o with_o he_o all_o other_o wise_a man_n that_o there_o be_v a_o appoint_a time_n for_o
