Wherein his allegations of the learned, reasons, divine proofs, and arguments, are particularly examined and convinced. With the legality of the art maintained and warranted by Scripture. Whereunto is annexed, a short discourse of that great eclipse of the sun, March 29. 1652. By William Ramesey Gent. student in astrologie and physick.

and_o how_o far_o all_o astrologer_n hold_v it_o effectual_a as_o you_o have_v also_o before_o now_o that_o this_o place_n of_o scripture_n do_v no_o wise_n condemn_v astrology_n i_o shall_v desire_v he_o to_o observe_v that_o god_n in_o his_o secret_a wisdom_n and_o counsel_n dan._n 2.18_o have_v decree_v what_o shall_v happen_v in_o the_o latter_a day_n and_o have_v reveal_v it_o to_o the_o king_n by_o a_o dream_n viz._n the_o subversion_n of_o his_o monarchy_n and_o together_o with_o he_o all_o other_o whatsoever_o and_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o stone_n cut_v out_o without_o hand_n which_o afterward_o grow_v to_o a_o mountain_n which_o fill_v the_o whole_a earth_n both_o with_o his_o power_n and_o glory_n by_o the_o clear_a sunshine_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o which_o i_o be_o confident_a mr_n homes_n can_v prove_v then_o astrology_n to_o be_v condemn_v or_o to_o be_v false_a when_o it_o be_v not_o in_o its_o power_n to_o reveal_v the_o secret_n of_o god_n but_o only_o extend_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o natural_a accident_n and_o mutation_n and_o their_o cause_n which_o be_v not_o you_o clear_o see_v the_o king_n dream_n but_o a_o revelation_n of_o god_n secret_a will_n and_o intent_n by_o dream_n wherefore_o since_o his_o argument_n will_v not_o hold_v his_o conclusion_n must_v needs_o fail_v he_o moreover_o you_o see_v as_o the_o dream_n be_v real_o a_o revelation_n so_o be_v also_o the_o interpretation_n thereof_o for_o you_o see_v in_o that_o same_o second_o chap._n that_o daniel_n pray_v to_o god_n to_o reveal_v it_o unto_o he_o which_o you_o see_v according_o be_v in_o a_o vision_n by_o night_n magician_n daniel_n a_o astrologer_n and_o magician_n and_o think_v he_o be_v as_o great_a a_o astrologer_n and_o magician_n as_o any_o of_o the_o wise_a man_n yet_o he_o know_v it_o be_v a_o secret_a beyond_o nature_n dan._n 2.13_o 14._o apply_v himself_o to_o god_n for_o the_o revelation_n thereof_o not_o to_o the_o search_n thereof_o in_o any_o book_n of_o natural_a cause_n as_o of_o astrology_n or_o magic_n wherefore_o you_o see_v how_o far_o mr_n homes_n run_v himself_o into_o a_o error_n for_o want_v of_o know_v what_o astrology_n be_v and_o the_o extent_n thereof_o and_o then_o last_o he_o as_o rash_o conclude_v with_o his_o divine_a proof_n as_o in_o all_o his_o progress_n before_o intrude_a and_z false_o impeach_v astrologer_n to_o be_v some_o of_o those_o that_o bring_v and_o burn_v their_o book_n upon_o repentance_n of_o their_o wicked_a practice_n 19.19_o act_n 19.19_o which_o i_o must_v confess_v be_v they_o as_o he_o also_o most_o rash_o and_o inconsiderate_o term_n they_o to_o be_v and_o as_o he_o say_v set_v forth_o in_o the_o 21._o revel_v 8._o to_o have_v their_o part_n in_o the_o lake_n that_o burn_v with_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n they_o have_v at_o that_o time_n do_v very_o well_o in_o burn_v their_o book_n have_v they_o be_v worth_a a_o thousand_o time_n as_o much_o again_o as_o they_o be_v there_o repute_v or_o value_v at_o but_o since_o their_o art_n and_o study_n depend_v upon_o only_a the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o nature_n and_o influence_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o star_n i_o know_v not_o what_o reason_n he_o have_v to_o include_v they_o to_o be_v thus_o penitent_a for_o study_v nature_n only_o ergo_fw-la not_o condemn_v under_o the_o word_n sorcery_n in_o the_o revelation_n 21.8_o wherefore_o see_v this_o be_v so_o apparent_o false_a i_o shall_v counsel_v he_o and_o that_o speedy_o to_o to_o burn_v his_o book_n that_o thus_o have_v lead_v he_o into_o a_o error_n and_o to_o contradict_v the_o scripture_n for_o i_o find_v in_o that_o very_a 21._o of_o revelation_n 8._o liar_n express_o nominate_v and_o when_o he_o go_v to_o the_o fire_n with_o his_o

his_o first_o fourfold_a reason_n be_v convince_v his_o first_o reason_n than_o be_v to_o prove_v astrology_n be_v false_a that_o astrologer_n themselves_o confess_v that_o either_o the_o prudence_n of_o a_o moral_a wise_a man_n or_o the_o piety_n of_o a_o godly_a man_n or_o the_o tutelarity_n of_o angel_n or_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n overrule_a all_o thing_n may_v prevent_v their_o

viz._n the_o providence_n of_o god_n overrule_a all_o thing_n which_o he_o say_v himself_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o three_o clause_n be_v the_o concession_n of_o astrologer_n themselves_o and_o if_o so_o i_o will_v demand_v then_o what_o advantage_n he_o have_v hereby_o against_o astrology_n when_o he_o can_v say_v no_o more_o against_o it_o than_o what_o the_o practitioner_n in_o the_o

thing_n as_o well_o celestial_a as_o terrestrial_a but_o whether_o his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n be_v to_o alter_v their_o natural_a course_n be_v a_o question_n but_o he_o have_v hear_v that_o ptolemy_n himself_o nay_o and_o all_o astrologer_n in_o general_a do_v attribute_v nothing_o far_o than_o natural_a thing_n which_o be_v in_o sublunary_a elementary_a body_n to_o the_o power_n and_o influence_n of_o the_o star_n thing_n the_o star_n have_v power_n but_o on_o natural_a thing_n he_o may_v then_o as_o well_o have_v say_v the_o eye_n have_v no_o power_n to_o see_v or_o distinguish_v from_o black_a and_o white_a because_o by_o the_o power_n of_o sense_n it_o may_v be_v close_v as_o weak_o to_o infer_v the_o star_n not_o to_o have_v power_n because_o god_n can_v alter_v or_o be_v able_a to_o alter_v their_o motion_n influence_n and_o effect_n or_o the_o piety_n of_o a_o godly_a man_n which_o neither_o be_v in_o the_o verge_n of_o nature_n all_o astrologer_n will_v condescend_v and_o agree_v that_o the_o star_n as_o also_o ptolemy_n himself_o have_v no_o power_n of_o what_o be_v beyond_o nature_n and_o if_o piety_n be_v not_o as_o far_o beyond_o nature_n as_o heaven_n be_v from_o earth_n let_v the_o weak_a capacity_n judge_n he_o may_v then_o as_o well_o have_v say_v a_o fish_n be_v no_o live_a creature_n nor_o have_v any_o life_n because_o it_o will_v not_o live_v on_o the_o land_n for_o it_o be_v altogether_o as_o far_o out_o of_o the_o element_n as_o i_o may_v say_v of_o the_o star_n or_o their_o power_n to_o extend_v their_o influence_n to_o divine_a matter_n as_o for_o a_o fish_n to_o fly_v or_o a_o stone_n to_o swim_v or_o the_o like_a ridiculous_a thing_n if_o affirm_v which_o be_v contrary_a to_o nature_n wherefore_o his_o three_o clause_n also_o be_v to_o as_o little_a effect_n as_o the_o two_o former_a when_o all_o that_o know_v any_o thing_n in_o divinity_n will_v acknowledge_v the_o tutelarity_n or_o guard_n of_o angel_n to_o be_v administer_v only_o to_o the_o elect_a and_o if_o this_o be_v not_o as_o far_o out_o of_o the_o bound_n and_o confine_n of_o nature_n as_o the_o other_o i_o will_v desire_v mr._n homes_n to_o make_v clear_a to_o the_o contrary_a and_o for_o his_o four_o clause_n it_o be_v as_o witty_a a_o one_o as_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v mr._n homes_n be_v no_o divine_a because_o he_o be_v not_o as_o yet_o a_o bishop_n
