by_o undoubted_a exper●ence_n for_o first_o whereas_o we_o see_v the_o form_n of_o divers_a heaven_n thing_n in_o this_o sublunary_a world_n apparent_o to_o consent_n both_o with_o certain_a star_n and_o with_o the_o particular_a region_n of_o heaven_n reason_n teach_v we_o that_o this_o can_v proceed_v from_o no_o other_o probable_a cause_n in_o nature_n then_o from_o the_o sympathy_n or_o

because_o hitherto_o we_o have_v speak_v only_o of_o the_o old_a configuration_n know_v to_o the_o ancient_a astronomer_n i_o may_v not_o forget_v to_o signify_v that_o in_o these_o our_o day_n our_o

reason_n at_o all_o in_o astrology_n neither_o want_v they_o true_a ground_n of_o reason_n for_o this_o their_o observation_n for_o as_o in_o music_n there_o be_v but_o 3_o perfect_a concord_n viz._n

wherefore_o consider_v that_o the_o first_o 3_o perfect_a concord_n be_v find_v to_o have_v their_o perfect_a aspect_n answerable_a unto_o they_o and_o that_o b_o flat_n be_v a_o imperfect_a concord_n

as_o yet_o i_o have_v not_o enter_v into_o any_o other_o geometrical_a speculation_n why_o these_o distance_n be_v also_o effectual_a in_o operation_n as_o well_o as_o the_o former_a thus_o much_o
