judgement_n in_o judicial_a astrology_n which_o i_o think_v be_v equal_a to_o any_o that_o have_v write_v before_o i_o or_o since_o for_o i_o think_v i_o have_v have_v as_o good_a a_o guess_n at_o thing_n and_o speak_v as_o much_o astrological_a truth_n as_o lily_n or_o booker_n of_o black_a monday_n i_o will_v warrant_v you_o upon_o this_o occasion_n if_o any_o sadness_n or_o mischief_n shall_v fall_v out_o which_o god_n divert_v though_o with_o reverence_n and_o fear_n i_o speak_v it_o how_o they_o will_v tell_v you_o they_o foresee_v it_o a_o hundred_o year_n since_o as_o they_o do_v the_o burn_a of_o london_n by_o nostre_fw-fr dame_n mr._n lily_n hierogliphic_n etc._n etc._n which_o be_v never_o hear_v of_o before_o but_o for_o my_o part_n as_o i_o have_v always_o tell_v truth_n and_o be_v less_o mistake_v than_o any_o of_o my_o function_n so_o i_o desire_v to_o continue_v for_o it_o be_v always_o my_o say_n if_o a_o winter_n prove_v cold_a warm_a clothes_n a_o good_a fire_n and_o good_a provision_n be_v the_o best_a remedy_n i_o confess_v mr._n l_o have_v the_o good_a luck_n to_o get_v a_o meddel_n from_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n but_o for_o all_o that_o he_o can_v not_o tell_v the_o country_n man_n who_o saint_n at_o his_o door_n like_a gipsy_n we_o tell_v people_n their_o fortune_n or_o as_o people_n at_o a_o lottery_n get_v money_n i_o hope_v the_o people_n will_v have_v more_o wit_n then_o to_o believe_v we_o and_o to_o have_v more_o discretion_n then_o to_o be_v fright_v however_o since_o from_o general_n observation_n that_o thing_n of_o

which_o to_o effect_n be_v for_o every_o man_n to_o sweep_v his_o win_a door_n according_a to_o the_o english_a proverb_n for_o we_o find_v it_o usual_a when_o man_n have_v commit_v any_o enormity_n and_o be_v discover_v they_o will_v feign_v ease_n themselves_o of_o the_o burden_n of_o their_o folly_n and_o either_o extenuate_v it_o in_o themselves_o or_o unjust_o lay_v it_o upon_o another_o

they_o will_v shun_v with_o diligence_n immaginable_a for_o whilst_o i_o charge_v my_o fault_n upon_o another_o i_o do_v not_o purge_v myself_o and_o therefore_o my_o sin_n remain_v and_o the_o cause_n not_o be_v take_v away_o the_o effect_n consequent_o must_v continue_v and_o with_o great_a amazement_n i_o find_v for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o will_v lay_v at_o their_o prince_n door_n
