A48494	Anima astrologiae: or, A guide for astrologers. Being the considerations of the famous Guido Bonatus, faithfully rendred into English. As also the choicest aphorisms of Cardans seaven segments, translated and methodically digested under their proper heads. With a new table of the fixed stars, rectified for several years to come, and divers other necessary illustrations ... / by William Lilly ...

they_o continue_v no_o long_a with_o man_n because_o man_n be_v of_o so_o small_a a_o duration_n and_o subject_a to_o a_o swift_a mutability_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o motion_n and_o upon_o this_o

general_o of_o the_o long_a continuance_n among_o corruptible_a thing_n and_o far_o more_o durable_a than_o particular_a house_n for_o these_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o individual_n do_v not_o endure_v always_o whereas_o city_n remain_v by_o a_o successive_a building_n and_o rebuild_n of_o house_n and_o therefore_o though_o castle_n be_v very_o laft_v yet_o be_v they_o not_o equal_a in_o the_o respect_n to_o city_n so_o that_o although_o we_o may_v use_v the_o superior_a planet_n in_o election_n for_o building_n of_o castle_n it_o be_v better_a to_o take_v fix_v star_n yet_o still_o because_o city_n be_v of_o long_a continuance_n than_o castle_n they_o be_v more_o appropriate_v to_o the_o fix_a star_n who_o subject_n they_o be_v for_o the_o impression_n which_o a_o solid_a thing_n make_v in_o a_o more_o solid_a thing_n continue_v much_o long_a than_o that_o which_o it_o make_v on_o a_o less_o solid_a thing_n and_o far_o less_o in_o a_o thing_n not_o solid_a than_o a_o thing_n somewhat_o solid_a and_o yet_o less_o in_o a_o very_a slippery_a transient_a thing_n than_o in_o a_o thing_n less_o lubricous_a or_o changeable_a hence_o the_o impression_n which_o the_o fix_a star_n make_v on_o city_n continue_v long_o than_o those_o on_o castle_n because_o city_n be_v more_o correlative_a to_o they_o in_o length_n of_o time_n and_o according_o those_o of_o castle_n more_o durable_a than_o those_o of_o house_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n proportionable_o but_o body_n of_o man_n be_v more_o remote_a from_o those_o fix_a star_n than_o house_n themselves_o and_o so_o more_o corruptible_a and_o for_o that_o cause_n their_o signification_n apply_v less_o to_o they_o or_o if_o they_o happen_v abide_v but_o little_a the_o signification_n of_o the_o fix_a star_n be_v so_o great_a and_o noble_a so_o high_a and_o free_a from_o corruption_n and_o mutability_n that_o they_o can_v easy_o take_v upon_o they_o a_o variable_a commixture_n with_o thing_n quick_o corruptible_a and_o sudden_o changeable_a unless_o it_o be_v as_o oil_n on_o water_n for_o though_o it_o may_v enter_v into_o it_o yet_o such_o impression_n will_v not_o long_o continue_v for_o the_o fix_a light_n operate_v with_o so_o much_o nobleness_n that_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o long_a distance_n from_o those_o vile_a corruptible_a changeable_a body_n and_o neighbourhood_n to_o the_o supreme_a light_n their_o effect_n can_v remain_v in_o or_o with_o they_o when_o they_o be_v light_o or_o sudden_o change_v and_o corrupt_v especial_o in_o base_a people_n and_o mean_a spirit_n for_o
