show_v the_o star_n to_o have_v more_o power_n and_o great_a influence_n to_o produce_v fool_n knave_n slave_n and_o beggar_n than_o wise_a just_a free_a and_o rich_a noble_a man_n and_o if_o the_o planet_n have_v no_o power_n over_o the_o fortune_n nor_o over_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n but_o over_o the_o body_n of_o man_n than_o the_o influence_n the_o soul_n have_v on_o the_o body_n will_v contradict_v the_o influence_n of_o the_o planet_n and_o the_o planet_n influence_n will_v contradict_v the_o influence_n of_o the_o soul_n so_o as_o by_o their_o crossness_n the_o body_n will_v be_v perpetual_o torture_v and_o the_o mind_n disquiet_v and_o if_o the_o planet_n have_v a_o influence_n over_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n than_o we_o will_v be_v good_a and_o bad_a wicked_a and_o pious_a valiant_a and_o coward_n sick_a and_o well_o hungry_a and_o dry_a or_o otherwise_o have_v no_o appetite_n according_a as_o the_o planet_n please_v or_o according_a to_o their_o influence_n also_o all_o man_n will_v be_v good_a and_o bad_a sick_a and_o well_o wise_a and_o fool_n valiant_a and_o cowardly_a just_a at_o one_o time_n as_o the_o sign_n or_o influence_n be_v so_o that_o all_o man_n under_o the_o domination_n of_o such_o star_n or_o planet_n will_v be_v alike_o at_o one_o minute_n and_o if_o all_o man_n shall_v like_o or_o love_v one_o woman_n at_o one_o minute_n and_o time_n or_o all_o woman_n one_o man_n that_o be_v as_o many_o as_o see_v she_o or_o he_o that_o woman_n will_v have_v more_o servant_n and_o suitor_n than_o she_o can_v please_v or_o answer_v and_o the_o man_n more_o mistress_n than_o the_o great_a turk_n also_o if_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o dominion_n of_o the_o planet_n thousand_o on_o a_o sudden_a will_v be_v inspire_v with_o poetical_a rapture_n and_o soon_o after_o be_v dull_a and_o stupid_a dolt_n whenas_o that_o influence_n change_v but_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v great_a influence_n from_o one_o nation_n on_o another_o according_a to_o interest_n strength_n and_o potency_n and_o so_o from_o one_o man_n to_o another_o according_a to_o interest_n power_n and_o authority_n than_o the_o star_n and_o planet_n have_v on_o several_a nation_n and_o several_a and_o particular_a man_n which_o produce_v great_a effect_n than_o the_o planet_n effect_n and_o influence_n can_v do_v not_o but_o that_o i_o believe_v the_o planet_n can_v work_v as_o sudden_a effect_n nay_o far_o sudden_a and_o immediate_a as_o we_o see_v by_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o heat_n and_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o i_o believe_v that_o beauty_n and_o wit_n have_v a_o great_a influence_n upon_o the_o passion_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o sense_n and_o appetite_n of_o the_o body_n than_o the_o star_n and_o why_o may_v not_o we_o think_v as_o well_o that_o the_o action_n especial_o the_o general_a action_n of_o man_n may_v have_v as_o great_a a_o influence_n or_o power_n over_o the_o star_n and_o planet_n as_o the_o star_n and_o planet_n be_v think_v to_o have_v over_o man_n for_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n to_o the_o contrary_a since_o they_o be_v fellow_n creature_n and_o not_o go_n but_o sure_o every_o several_a part_n and_o particle_n in_o nature_n have_v a_o influence_n on_o each_o other_o from_o which_o be_v produce_v several_a effect_n and_o effect_n have_v influence_n upon_o effect_n some_o on_o some_o and_o some_o on_o other_o or_o perchance_o they_o have_v all_o a_o work_a effect_n to_o each_o other_o as_o many_o grain_n of_o corn_n be_v ground_n for_o one_o loaf_n of_o bread_n many_o several_a material_n go_v to_o one_o house_n many_o several_a family_n to_o one_o commonwealth_n many_o several_a nation_n to_o one_o world_n and_o many_o several_a world_n to_o one_o universe_n thus_o madam_n i_o have_v obey_v your_o second_o command_n concern_v the_o influence_n of_o the_o star_n and_o planet_n as_o i_o do_v your_o first_o but_o in_o this_o late_a discourse_n i_o seem_v to_o have_v no_o belief_n that_o the_o star_n have_v a_o influence_n over_o the_o body_n or_o mind_n no_o more_o than_o the_o body_n or_o mind_n have_v over_o the_o planet_n and_o so_o over_o fortune_n education_n law_n custom_n and_o the_o like_a whereas_o in_o my_o former_a letter_n i_o say_v they_o have_v over_o the_o body_n and_o be_v apt_a to_o believe_v they_o have_v also_o over_o the_o mind_n but_o since_o i_o write_v the_o former_a letter_n concern_v this_o subject_a i_o have_v think_v of_o it_o more_o than_o i_o have_v then_o and_o believe_v every_o creature_n have_v some_o influence_n to_o each_o other_o but_o i_o leave_v both_o letter_n and_o the_o opinion_n and_o argument_n write_v therein_o to_o your_o better_a judgement_n and_o rest_n madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n cxxxix_o madam_n i_o be_o sorry_a to_o hear_v that_o sir_n s._n k._n be_v so_o full_a of_o the_o dropsy_n as_o to_o be_v die_v indeed_o the_o dropsy_n be_v a_o disease_n that_o quench_v out_o the_o fire_n or_o flame_n of_o life_n as_o a_o torch_n candle_n or_o lamp_n have_v more_o water_n than_o radical_a oil_n or_o vital_a heat_n so_o that_o one_o may_v say_v those_o that_o be_v full_a of_o the_o dropsy_n have_v a_o river_n or_o sea_n in_o their_o body_n they_o be_v drown_v not_o with_o water_n without_o but_o within_o they_o it_o be_v a_o inward_a deluge_n and_o a_o dropsical_a body_n be_v like_o noah_n flood_n wherein_o the_o inward_a part_n be_v as_o the_o several_a nation_n and_o the_o animal_n spirit_n as_o the_o people_n drown_v therein_o but_o the_o soul_n as_o noah_n be_v save_v in_o the_o ark_n of_o heaven_n and_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n be_v to_o be_v restore_v to_o the_o bodily_a world_n again_o but_o leave_v this_o similize_n dropsy_n pro_fw-la 〈…〉_z m_o divers_a cause_n as_o sometime_o through_o 〈…〉_z ometimes_o through_o a_o hot_a and_o sometime_o through_o a_o cold_a cause_n some_o dropsy_n through_o a_o waste_a cause_n some_o through_o a_o obstructive_a and_o some_o through_o a_o superfluous_a cause_n in_o some_o the_o effect_n may_v be_v cure_a by_o alter_a or_o remove_v the_o cause_n in_o other_o the_o cause_n be_v essential_a not_o to_o be_v remove_v but_o by_o death_n and_o so_o not_o to_o be_v cure_a in_o life_n but_o whatsoever_o the_o cause_n be_v whether_o curable_a or_o incurable_a the_o best_a remedy_n either_o to_o prolong_v the_o life_n of_o the_o disease_a body_n or_o to_o cure_v those_o that_o be_v curable_a be_v to_o make_v issue_n which_o as_o sluice_n drain_n the_o water_n out_o of_o the_o body_n or_o so_o much_o as_o to_o keep_v it_o from_o overflow_a or_o they_o be_v like_o tap_n set_v to_o barrel_n full_a of_o liquor_n which_o run_v forth_o at_o the_o tap-hole_n but_o there_o must_v not_o only_o be_v one_o sluice_n or_o tap-hole_n but_o two_o or_o three_o to_o vent_v the_o superfluity_n of_o the_o water_n that_o come_v or_o be_v breed_v in_o the_o body_n it_o be_v true_a i_o have_v hear_v those_o that_o have_v issue_n say_v they_o be_v somewhat_o troublesome_a but_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o so_o troublesome_a as_o a_o swell_v unwieldy_a bulk_n or_o sick_a and_o indisposed_a body_n but_o by_o your_o letter_n i_o perceive_v that_o sir_n s._n ks._n body_n be_v so_o much_o overflow_v as_o it_o can_v be_v drain_v so_o soon_o as_o to_o save_o his_o life_n but_o it_o will_v be_v drown_v and_o overwhelm_v in_o the_o whirlpool_n of_o death_n and_o so_o leave_v his_o soul_n to_o god_n i_o rest_v madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n cxl_o madam_n you_o write_v in_o your_o last_o letter_n that_o the_o lady_n g._n d._n take_v cooling_n julip_n in_o the_o morning_n and_o cordial_n when_o she_o go_v to_o bed_n to_o digest_v crude_a humour_n but_o my_o reason_n say_v she_o be_v

it_o will_v not_o hasty_o burn_v nay_o such_o wood_n do_v often_o put_v out_o the_o fire_n than_o the_o fire_n do_v enkindle_v the_o wood_n for_o the_o moist_a vapour_n that_o issue_n or_o be_v draw_v forth_o by_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o fire_n do_v destroy_v that_o heat_n that_o draw_v those_o vapour_n out_o whereas_o on_o the_o other_o side_n dry_v or_o sear_v wood_n when_o kindle_v and_o all_o of_o a_o fiery_a flame_n fling_v but_o a_o little_a water_n on_o it_o and_o it_o will_v quench_v out_o the_o flame_v fire_n the_o like_a be_v the_o body_n of_o mankind_n they_o be_v easy_a cool_v
