antiquity_n and_o from_o whence_o it_o have_v its_o first_o original_a concern_v this_o point_n there_o have_v be_v much_o controversy_n among_o writer_n but_o most_o hold_v that_o it_o be_v first_o

philosophy_n astrology_n profitable_a for_o moral_a philosophy_n that_o it_o be_v most_o profitable_a for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o moral_a philosophy_n mr._n homes_n will_v not_o deny_v if_o he_o know_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o art_n that_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v by_o astrology_n know_v so_o that_o hereby_o we_o receive_v a_o double_a benefit_n viz._n first_o admonition_n to_o refrain_v what_o may_v prove_v obnoxious_a and_o hurtful_a to_o our_o health_n second_o encouragement_n to_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o that_o

felicity_n the_o chief_a end_n of_o moral_a philosophy_n no_o art_n or_o science_n can_v compare_v with_o astrology_n for_o it_o teach_v a_o man_n what_o pertain_v to_o the_o good_n of_o the_o body_n and_o mind_n and_o so_o also_o to_o moderate_v the_o unruly_a affection_n who_o violence_n carry_v away_o the_o mind_n from_o that_o golden_a mean_v wherein_o virtue_n dwell_v and_o keep_v her_o place_n so_o likewise_o in_o the_o external_a good_n it_o resolve_v a_o man_n what_o hope_n or_o likelihood_n by_o his_o own_o industry_n or_o otherways_o he_o have_v to_o attain_v to_o the_o riches_n of_o this_o world_n and_o also_o teach_v he_o how_o to_o increase_v the_o same_o by_o what_o mean_n at_o what_o time_n and_o in_o what_o place_n it_o will_v be_v best_a for_o he_o or_o most_o profitable_a to_o this_o intent_n or_o purpose_n so_o that_o then_o you_o see_v astrology_n to_o comprehend_v more_o in_o one_o part_n than_o all_o the_o art_n in_o the_o world_n put_v together_o in_o any_o or_o all_o part_n philosophy_n for_o natural_a philosophy_n second_o for_o natural_a philosophy_n it_o bring_v no_o less_o help_n hereunto_o then_o to_o the_o former_a for_o hereby_o the_o

to_o be_v say_v in_o the_o praise_n and_o utility_n of_o astrology_n lest_o i_o spend_v too_o much_o time_n in_o confute_v such_o weak_a stuff_n as_o be_v this_o discourse_n of_o mr._n homes_n
