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

it_o a_o strange_a thing_n in_o that_o we_o sometime_o see_v the_o astrologer_n foretell_v that_o which_o afterward_o do_v come_v to_o pass_v and_o when_o the_o thing_n be_v come_v to_o pass_v we_o be_v not_o then_o to_o give_v ever_o the_o more_o credit_n to_o the_o astrologer_n nor_o yet_o to_o think_v astrology_n to_o be_v any_o whit_n the_o law_n full_a because_o the_o event_n fall_v out_o to_o be_v as_o the_o astrologer_n have_v afore_o predict_v for_o if_o because_o the_o event_n fall_v out_o to_o be_v true_a or_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v according_a to_o the_o prediction_n i_o say_v if_o any_o shall_v believe_v astrology_n to_o be_v a_o lawful_a art_n from_o this_o ground_n viz_o because_o those_o thing_n foretell_v by_o the_o astrologer_n many_o time_n fall_v out_o to_o be_v true_a and_o so_o come_v to_o pass_v as_o they_o predict_v again_o i_o say_v if_o they_o have_v no_o better_a argument_n to_o prove_v the_o legallity_n of_o astrology_n than_o this_o of_o the_o event_n answer_v to_o the_o prediction_n here_o than_o i_o say_v to_o all_o rational_a man_n viz_o note_n note_n that_o magic_n conjuration_n witchcraft_n and_o all_o such_o abominable_a wicked_a and_o unclean_a art_n may_v by_o the_o aforesaid_a argument_n be_v prove_v to_o be_v as_o lawful_a as_o be_v the_o art_n of_o judicial_a astrology_n 31.6_o 1_o sam._n 28.19_o 1_o sam._n 31.6_o as_o for_o example_n i_o will_v instance_n in_o the_o death_n of_o king_n saul_n with_o his_o son_n and_o the_o destruction_n of_o his_o great_a army_n for_o we_o find_v that_o the_o witch_n at_o endor_n have_v conjure_v up_o the_o devil_n for_o to_o resolve_v the_o king_n of_o his_o doubt_n the_o say_a devil_n be_v raise_v up_o by_o the_o witch_n art_n answer_v unto_o the_o king_n after_o this_o manner_n viz._n 28.19_o 1_o sam._n 28.19_o to_o morrow_n shall_v thou_o and_o thy_o son_n be_v with_o i_o the_o lord_n shall_v deliver_v also_o the_o host_n of_o israel_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o philistines_n etc._n etc._n now_o that_o this_o prediction_n fall_v out_o to_o be_v true_a 31.6_o 1_o sam._n 31.6_o according_a to_o the_o devil_n predict_v of_o the_o same_o none_o can_v deny_v for_o say_v the_o scripture_n so_o saul_n die_v and_o his_o three_o son_n and_o his_o armour-bearer_n and_o all_o his_o man_n that_o same_o day_n together_o so_o then_o from_o hence_o you_o may_v see_v the_o aforesaid_a argument_n can_v prove_v the_o legality_n of_o the_o art_n of_o astrology_n any_o more_o than_o it_o can_v prove_v the_o lawfulness_n of_o the_o witch_n and_o her_o art_n in_o raise_v up_o the_o devil_n at_o endor_n wherefore_o we_o may_v evident_o understand_v from_o hence_o as_o follow_v viz._n what_o the_o great_a and_o strong_a argument_n be_v which_o the_o astrologer_n can_v or_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v to_o prove_v the_o legality_n of_o astrology_n from_o and_o by_o i_o say_v that_o magic_a conjuration_n and_o witchcraft_n may_v from_o and_o by_o the_o say_a argument_n be_v prove_v and_o warrant_v as_o lawful_a and_o as_o honest_a as_o judicial_a astrology_n 5.12_o exod._n 22.18_o mic._n 5.12_o but_o how_o lawful_a and_o honest_a witchcraft_n be_v i_o leave_v unto_o all_o man_n for_o to_o judge_v from_o these_o place_n of_o scripture_n for_o it_o be_v say_v in_o exod_n 22.18_o thou_o shall_v not_o suffer_v a_o witch_n to_o live_v again_o it_o be_v say_v by_o the_o lord_n god_n in_o mica_n 5.12_o and_o i_o will_v cut_v off_o witchcraft_n out_o of_o thy_o hand_n and_o thou_o shall_v have_v no_o more_o soothsayer_n but_o to_o return_v again_o to_o my_o purpose_n i_o have_v declare_v a_o little_a afore_o that_o the_o great_a and_o strong_a argument_n that_o be_v set_v forth_o by_o the_o astrologer_n for_o to_o prove_v the_o legality_n of_o astrology_n by_o be_v this_o viz._n the_o event_n fall_v out_o to_o be_v according_a to_o the_o prediction_n now_o that_o this_o be_v the_o best_a art_n the_o great_a argument_n the_o astrologer_n have_v to_o prove_v the_o legality_n of_o their_o art_n and_o strong_a of_o all_o the_o argument_n which_o the_o astrologer_n can_v bring_v and_o produce_v to_o warrant_v the_o legality_n of_o their_o say_a art_n of_o judicial_a astrology_n by_o i_o say_v it_o be_v evident_o to_o be_v see_v that_o this_o be_v their_o great_a and_o strong_a argument_n as_o it_o do_v plain_o appear_v by_o their_o own_o word_n and_o confession_n write_v by_o themselves_o in_o their_o own_o book_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v i_o will_v here_o again_o manifest_o prove_v although_o the_o same_o be_v elsewhere_o by_o i_o do_v 195._o sir_n christopher_n heydon_n in_o his_o defence_n of_o astrology_n fol_z 195._o but_o to_o begin_v i_o think_v it_o be_v my_o best_a way_n to_o set_v their_o champion_n in_o the_o first_o place_n because_o if_o any_o man_n question_v with_o our_o astrologer_n about_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o their_o art_n they_o in_o all_o the_o haste_n and_o speed_n as_o may_v possible_a be_v do_v send_v he_o unto_o their_o champion_n sir_n christopher_n heydon_n defence_n of_o astrology_n where_o he_o may_v have_v a_o full_a resolution_n of_o all_o his_o question_n and_o doubt_n which_o he_o have_v ag_fw-mi inst_z astrology_n but_o now_o see_v we_o be_v in_o a_o dispute_n about_o the_o argument_n that_o the_o astrologer_n do_v common_o bring_v to_o prove_v their_o art_n of_o astrology_n a_o lawful_a art_n now_o then_o see_v sir_n christopher_n be_v the_o chief_a of_o our_o astrologer_n and_o unto_o he_o they_o send_v all_o that_o gainsay_v their_o art_n therefore_o let_v we_o hear_v what_o he_o can_v say_v for_o astrology_n 195._o heydon_n 195._o now_o what_o he_o say_v make_v he_o believe_v astrology_n to_o be_v a_o lawful_a art_n be_v only_o because_o he_o have_v see_v the_o event_n fall_v out_o true_a according_a to_o the_o prediction_n as_o it_o do_v plain_o appear_v by_o his_o own_o word_n which_o be_v as_o follow_v in_o the_o 195_o page_n of_o his_o discourse_n where_o he_o say_v thus_o viz._n ay_o for_o my_o part_n say_v he_o do_v free_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v no_o one_o thing_n that_o have_v make_v i_o so_o confident_a in_o the_o validity_n of_o this_o art_n as_o that_o which_o i_o have_v see_v to_o fall_v out_o true_a thus_o the_o great_a artist_n of_o astrology_n in_o few_o word_n have_v tell_v we_o what_o his_o strong_a argument_n be_v whereby_o he_o can_v prove_v astrology_n a_o lawful_a and_o a_o mighty_a powerful_a art_n now_o if_o this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a warrant_n to_o make_v a_o man_n confident_a in_o the_o validity_n of_o a_o art_n 31._o 1_o sam._n 31._o because_o he_o see_v the_o prediction_n fall_v out_o true_a then_o may_v these_o astrologer_n be_v as_o confident_a in_o the_o validity_n of_o witchcraft_n as_o they_o can_v be_v of_o the_o legality_n of_o astrology_n by_o their_o own_o argument_n for_o because_o the_o great_a and_o strong_a argument_n which_o all_o of_o they_o use_n to_o plead_v the_o validity_n of_o astrology_n by_o be_v this_o because_o they_o see_v their_o prediction_n fall_v out_o true_a again_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v as_o i_o say_v before_o that_o this_o argument_n do_v prove_v astrology_n no_o more_o to_o be_v a_o lawful_a art_n than_o it_o do_v prove_v witchcraft_n to_o be_v lawful_a for_o all_o that_o which_o be_v foretell_v unto_o saul_n by_o witchcraft_n fall_v out_o true_a therefore_o witchcraft_n be_v as_o lawful_a as_o astrology_n by_o the_o best_a argument_n of_o the_o astrologer_n now_o that_o this_o be_v the_o best_a and_o strong_a argument_n which_o the_o astrologer_n have_v to_o warrant_v the_o legality_n of_o astrology_n by_o this_o i_o say_v i_o will_v prove_v by_o their_o own_o word_n and_o confession_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o and_o i_o will_v fetch_v out_o he_o first_o into_o the_o light_n unto_o who_o they_o all_o run_v to_o hide_v themselves_o in_o the_o dark_a he_o it_o be_v who_o i_o cite_v a_o little_a afore_o 195._o heydon_n fol._n 195._o sir_n christopher_n heydon_n in_o his_o defence_n of_o astrology_n say_v thus_o viz._n ay_o for_o my_o part_n say_v he_o do_v free_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v no_o

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

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

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

for_o as_o much_o as_o some_o of_o they_o will_v needs_o be_v take_v for_o to_o be_v prophet_n i_o deny_v that_o these_o astrologer_n be_v any_o of_o god_n prophet_n but_o that_o they_o be_v the_o

there_o be_v such_o affinity_n and_o agreement_n between_o these_o two_o art_n viz_o astrology_n and_o magic_n that_o as_o magic_n can_v be_v perform_v without_o astrology_n so_o astrology_n can_v have_v its_o end_n and_o perfection_n without_o magic_n so_o then_o the_o difference_n be_v not_o much_o whether_o we_o call_v these_o prediction_n magical_a or_o astrological_a prediction_n now_o here_o it_o be_v object_v viz_o solution_n objection_n solution_n that_o the_o astrologer_n may_v stay_v himself_o in_o his_o figure_n and_o proceed_v no_o further_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o particular_a event_n can_v be_v know_v without_o the_o help_n of_o a_o spirit_n therefore_o i_o say_v that_o the_o difference_n be_v not_o great_a in_o whatsoever_o degree_n he_o proceed_v so_o he_o proceed_v at_o all_o with_o the_o devil_n in_o his_o illusion_n so_o that_o if_o he_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o particular_a event_n whether_o it_o be_v by_o conference_n or_o by_o some_o other_o mean_n than_o he_o do_v proceed_v with_o the_o devil_n in_o his_o illusion_n for_o we_o be_v herein_o certify_v that_o this_o thing_n can_v be_v do_v by_o any_o lawful_a art_n and_o learning_n but_o by_o the_o help_n of_o a_o spirit_n take_v that_o help_n which_o way_n you_o will_v it_o be_v diabolical_a for_o that_o judicial_a astrology_n either_o have_v be_v or_o may_v be_v altogether_o separate_v from_o magic_n this_o the_o astroleger_n can_v never_o prove_v if_o they_o can_v then_o let_v we_o see_v they_o do_v it_o but_o it_o be_v again_o object_v by_o the_o astrologer_n as_o follow_v viz_o astrologer_n the_o great_a objection_n of_o astrologer_n that_o those_o event_n which_o the_o astrologer_n do_v predict_v and_o foretell_v many_o of_o those_o event_n do_v fall_v out_o to_o be_v as_o the_o astrologer_n foretold_v therefore_o the_o art_n of_o astrology_n be_v useful_a and_o profitable_a in_o the_o life_n of_o
