to_o be_v more_o mention_v or_o think_v on_o and_o yet_o this_o idiot_n be_v so_o fantastical_o conceit_v of_o this_o his_o own_o bare_a construction_n and_o censure_n of_o the_o scripture_n that_o he_o thereon_o conclude_v with_o himself_o that_o his_o opinion_n and_o judgement_n he_o so_o ready_o pump_v out_o of_o his_o shallow_a coxcomb_n be_v so_o invincible_a a_o argument_n that_o he_o thus_o persist_v see_v here_o now_o what_o your_o astrology_n be_v be_v it_o any_o thing_n else_o then_o superstition_n and_o idolatry_n for_o they_o say_v one_o time_n be_v good_a another_o bad_a and_o further_a thus_o thus_o you_o may_v see_v that_o what_o the_o scripture_n say_v god_n make_v only_o good_a they_o make_v to_o be_v both_o good_a and_o evil_n by_o which_o argument_n he_o will_v

do_v they_o make_v time_n both_o good_a and_o bad_a for_o the_o worst_a time_n as_o sickness_n and_o other_o casualty_n which_o perhaps_o he_o mean_v the_o astrologer_n call_v bad_a time_n for_o he_o declare_v not_o his_o mind_n what_o he_o mean_v nor_o what_o he_o will_v be_v at_o be_v good_a in_o some_o sense_n for_o it_o tend_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o one_o kind_n or_o other_o how_o ill_a or_o bad_a soever_o it_o may_v appear_v to_o such_o a_o novice_n as_o he_o for_o the_o world_n nor_o nought_o therein_o have_v ever_o be_v make_v burr_n for_o his_o glory_n so_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v no_o wise_a by_o the_o astrologer_n contradict_v when_o he_o tell_v a_o man_n a_o ill_a time_n of_o trouble_n or_o sickness_n cross_n or_o the_o like_a be_v sudden_o to_o happen_v on_o he_o he_o call_v it_o perhaps_o a_o ill_a time_n as_o have_v relation_n to_o the_o patient_a or_o party_n that_o must_v undergo_v these_o affliction_n yet_o this_o time_n in_o itself_o bring_v perhaps_o this_o suffer_a wrath_n by_o affliction_n to_o god_n and_o his_o fear_n or_o perhaps_o bring_v death_n however_o it_o tend_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o in_o itself_o the_o time_n be_v good_a ergo_fw-la no_o contradiction_n of_o the_o scripture_n by_o the_o astrologer_n in_o make_v that_o time_n which_o god_n make_v good_a to_o be_v both_o good_a and_o ill_a again_o he_o persist_v in_o his_o inveterate_a malice_n and_o run_v on_o without_o either_o fear_n or_o wit_n not_o know_v indeed_o what_o he_o say_v be_v so_o inveterate_o malicious_a for_o he_o say_v astrology_n deny_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n in_o the_o dispose_n of_o the_o several_a change_n that_o happen_v to_o man_n in_o this_o life_n if_o rule_v by_o the_o star_n for_o say_v they_o mean_v the_o astrologer_n thus_o shall_v this_o man_n live_v and_o die_v because_o of_o the_o star_n he_o have_v in_o his_o nativity_n and_o of_o another_o man_n thus_o quite_o contrary_a by_o reason_n of_o contrary_a position_n of_o the_o planet_n at_o the_o birth_n i_o pray_v consider_v and_o you_o shall_v see_v this_o to_o be_v very_a wickedness_n for_o god_n so_o rule_v the_o world_n by_o his_o providence_n that_o not_o a_o sparrow_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n nor_o a_o hair_n of_o our_o head_n without_o his_o permission_n therefore_o say_v mr._n john_n raunce_n it_o must_v
