be_v only_o excellent_a in_o trick_v and_o cheat_v nay_o i_o know_v one_o ignorant_a fellow_n that_o have_v live_v by_o the_o art_n these_o thirty_o year_n tell_v mighty_a thing_n about_o celestial_a influence_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o art_n in_o print_n and_o yet_o i_o often_o hear_v he_o do_v in_o company_n at_o tavern_n say_v it_o be_v a_o cheat_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o it_o and_o that_o he_o use_v it_o only_o for_o a_o livelikood_a i_o suppose_v you_o will_v guess_v at_o the_o man_n his_o gut_n and_o his_o brain_n often_o contend_v for_o the_o pre-eminence_n now_o let_v i_o exhort_v all_o those_o that_o be_v real_a well_o wisher_n to_o astrology_n to_o set_v to_o the_o work_n in_o earnest_n get_v many_o nativity_n that_o be_v true_a it_o be_v no_o matter_n what_o their_o quality_n be_v work_n and_o observe_v whether_o your_o direction_n have_v the_o same_o effect_n in_o one_o that_o they_o have_v in_o another_o nativity_n make_v your_o ââlves_n master_n of_o ptolemy_n be_v rule_n and_o principle_n and_o make_v he_o your_o standard_n to_o try_v your_o operation_n by_o learn_v to_o choose_v your_o giver_n of_o life_n your_o poiothanatos_n and_o your_o biothanatos_fw-la and_o when_o you_o be_v master_n of_o these_o you_o will_v be_v able_a to_o see_v through_o those_o foolery_n no_o win_v fashion_n among_o those_o that_o be_v your_o master_n and_o public_a teacher_n of_o the_o art_n in_o all_o the_o corner_n of_o the_o town_n when_o you_o be_v get_v into_o this_o method_n and_o way_n you_o will_v see_v a_o prospect_n of_o arrive_v at_o something_o that_o will_v be_v satisfactory_a to_o the_o laborious_a student_n in_o his_o far_a pursuit_n after_o truth_n and_o yet_o with_o i_o despair_v of_o ever_o see_v it_o bring_v to_o a_o complete_a perfection_n and_o both_o of_o we_o say_v with_o campanella_n ptolemeum_fw-la sequimur_fw-la omnes_fw-la enim_fw-la astrologi_fw-la omnium_fw-la temporum_fw-la ab_fw-la exordio_fw-la mundi_fw-la ad_fw-la nos_fw-la non_fw-la sufficiunt_fw-la ad_fw-la astrologiam_fw-la totam_fw-la &_o recte_fw-la conficiendam_fw-la and_o as_o a_o conclusion_n to_o this_o paragraph_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o say_v and_o that_o most_o true_o that_o all_o method_n way_n and_o project_n in_o astrology_n not_o found_v on_o the_o principle_n and_o doctrine_n of_o ptolemy_n be_v vain_a and_o idle_a and_o all_o those_o that_o employ_v themselves_o in_o such_o method_n etc._n etc._n do_v but_o trifle_v away_o their_o time_n and_o be_v never_o the_o better_a when_o i_o quote_v ptolemy_n in_o the_o follow_a treatise_n it_o be_v that_o translation_n do_v by_o the_o learned_a melancthon_n and_o print_v at_o basil_n in_o the_o year_n 1553._o and_o be_v the_o best_a of_o all_o the_o translation_n that_o be_v extant_a of_o the_o quadripartite_a and_o i_o have_v a_o intention_n to_o print_v that_o translation_n of_o melancthon_n again_o it_o be_v grow_v very_o scarce_o and_o to_o print_n melancthon_n be_v epistle_n before_o it_o likewise_o and_o to_o add_v to_o it_o a_o short_a comment_n on_o the_o remarkable_a chapter_n in_o the_o two_o last_o book_n make_v it_o a_o handsome_a pocket-volume_n in_o a_o clear_a letter_n a_o excellent_a companion_n for_o those_o that_o be_v studious_a in_o this_o art_n and_o whosoever_o be_v once_o master_n of_o that_o treatise_n will_v set_v a_o small-value_n on_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o author_n and_o it_o must_v be_v do_v at_o our_o own_o charge_n because_o the_o bookseller_n will_v not_o encourage_v it_o nor_o be_v at_o the_o charge_n to_o do_v it_o will_v and_o fair_a when_o i_o quote_v argol_n be_v de_fw-fr diebus_fw-la criticis_fw-la it_o be_v that_o edition_n print_v at_o milan_n in_o the_o year_n 1652._o and_o be_v both_o the_o best_a and_o last_o and_o a_o good_a thing_n in_o its_o kind_n though_o the_o nativity_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n false_a and_o his_o rule_n misapply_v i_o intend_v also_o to_o give_v the_o world_n a_o few_o nativity_n perhaps_o a_o hundred_o or_o two_o in_o a_o way_n different_a to_o all_o that_o have_v go_v before_o i_o and_o in_o all_o that_o i_o print_n i_o will_v take_v care_n to_o give_v the_o true_a estimate_n time_n which_o all_o the_o author_n on_o that_o subject_n have_v hitherto_o omit_v it_o be_v the_o want_n of_o that_o which_o hinder_v our_o examine_v those_o already_o print_v and_o so_o prevent_v not_o only_o i_o but_o all_o man_n else_o to_o endeavour_v a_o correction_n of_o they_o it_o be_v too_o arbitrary_a to_o impose_v upon_o mankind_n such_o nativity_n that_o we_o have_v correct_v and_o neither_o give_v reason_n nor_o the_o estimate_n time_n thereof_o to_o assist_v they_o that_o come_v after_o some_o differ_v three_o hour_n from_o the_o estimate_n but_o common_o half_a a_o hour_n or_o a_o hour_n so_o that_o all_o that_o have_v be_v do_v hitherto_o be_v of_o no_o use_n but_o to_o stare_v upon_o and_o that_o with_o a_o doubtful_a eye_n too_o i_o have_v not_o elect_v a_o time_n for_o publish_v my_o book_n which_o perhaps_o some_o will_v wonder_v at_o especial_o because_o saturn_n be_v on_o my_o radical_a sun_n let_v it_o take_v its_o
