four_o six_o or_o eight_o house_n as_o he_o will_v here_o insinuate_v but_o by_o the_o intemperance_n of_o their_o nature_n and_o you_o see_v that_o mankind_n general_o die_v by_o the_o excess_n either_o of_o heat_n or_o cold_a and_o this_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n proceed_v from_o the_o house_n which_o be_v but_o imaginary_a space_n except_o the_o four_o angle_n but_o from_o body_n and_o such_o body_n too_o that_o consist_v of_o that_o temperature_n and_o quality_n that_o they_o hurt_v by_o as_o all_o man_n will_v own_v that_o have_v either_o have_v or_o observe_v the_o sun_n or_o

to_o be_v allow_v yet_o that_o do_v not_o take_v away_o saturn_n power_n to_o kill_v and_o if_o this_o be_v condren_n true_a nativity_n i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n see_v any_o reason_n why_o he_o shall_v think_v the_o square_n of_o saturn_n be_v not_o as_o likely_a to_o kill_v as_o that_o of_o the_o moon_n and_o also_o as_o likely_a to_o be_v believe_v and_o if_o you_o do_v but_o observe_v saturn_n you_o will_v find_v he_o be_v as_o wicked_a as_o possible_o he_o can_v be_v for_o he_o be_v in_o the_o six_o cadent_a out_o of_o all_o dignity_n but_o a_o term_n retrograde_a among_o the_o pleyade_n and_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o moon_n in_o scorpio_n and_o if_o all_o these_o add_v to_o his_o own_o ill_a nature_n will_v not_o make_v he_o able_a to_o kill_v this_o highpriest_n if_o the_o sun_n be_v hileg_n than_o i_o have_v no_o more_o to_o say_v to_o he_o but_o i_o be_o certain_a the_o sun_n be_v not_o hileg_n and_o by_o consequence_n the_o figure_n not_o true_a that_o he_o have_v print_v and_o my_o reason_n for_o it_o be_v this_o about_o 40_o or_o a_o little_a before_o the_o sun_n pass_v 4_o such_o direction_n that_o nothing_o but_o a_o miracle_n can_v save_v he_o and_o they_o be_v the_o zodiacal_a parallel_n of_o the_o moon_n and_o saturn_n and_o the_o mundane_a square_n of_o the_o moon_n and_o saturn_n and_o therefore_o i_o rest_v satisfy_v that_o this_o nativity_n be_v false_a and_o leave_v it_o to_o other_o to_o believe_v as_o they_o please_v and_o i_o think_v convenient_a perhaps_o it_o may_v be_v expect_v by_o some_o that_o i_o shall_v give_v a_o correct_a scheme_n according_a to_o my_o opinion_n but_o that_o i_o shall_v decline_v for_o two_o reason_n first_o he_o have_v not_o give_v the_o estimate_n time_n and_o second_o i_o shall_v make_v such_o a_o great_a alteration_n in_o the_o time_n from_o his_o figure_n by_o do_v of_o it_o that_o it_o will_v be_v of_o no_o service_n when_o do_v because_o it_o will_v be_v at_o best_o but_o dubious_a and_o no_o man_n can_v rely_v on_o it_o either_o for_o example_n or_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v leave_v it_o as_o it_o be_v perhaps_o it_o may_v fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o some_o that_o be_v more_o able_a to_o correct_v it_o than_o i_o be_o which_o i_o hearty_o wish_v but_o one_o thing_n i_o do_v observe_v on_o this_o nativity_n etc._n etc._n that_o morinus_n have_v give_v we_o this_o nativity_n in_o his_o book_n of_o revolution_n and_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o to_o show_v the_o proof_n coherence_n and_o truth_n of_o the_o nativity_n itself_o as_o the_o admirable_a

so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o his_o nativity_n and_o their_o examination_n some_o observation_n on_o the_o theory_n and_o practice_n of_o morinus_n in_o astrology_n it_o be_v both_o plain_a and_o
