to_o propose_v some_o few_o objection_n which_o i_o have_v find_v may_v be_v bring_v against_o it_o the_o first_o be_v that_o if_o so_o be_v by_o this_o write_n all_o the_o great_a mutation_n in_o the_o world_n may_v be_v know_v it_o be_v possible_a then_o that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n may_v in_o like_a manner_n be_v find_v out_o by_o it_o as_o be_v the_o great_a and_o most_o

the_o second_o be_v that_o astrologer_n have_v be_v able_a to_o foretell_v many_o of_o these_o mutation_n which_o have_v afterward_o come_v to_o pass_v according_o and_o yet_o have_v never_o have_v any_o knowledge_n of_o this_o strange_a kind_a of_o write_v it_o be_v therefore_o useless_a and_o imaginary_a the_o three_o be_v that_o the_o position_n of_o the_o star_n be_v not_o so_o essential_a to_o the_o letter_n which_o it_o be_v bring_v to_o make_v up_o but_o that_o the_o same_o star_n may_v as_o well_o make_v for_o example_n a_o resch_n as_o a_o dale_v and_o so_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n

objection_n i_o answer_v brief_o thus_o to_o the_o first_o i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o this_o celestial_a write_n shall_v foreshow_v the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n because_o that_o god_n may_v have_v reserve_v this_o secret_a to_o himself_o or_o else_o 21.25_o math._n 24.29_o mar._n 13.24_o luc._n 21.25_o that_o it_o will_v real_o foretell_v this_o hereafter_o when_o

to_o say_v that_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o moon_n shall_v foretell_v it_o by_o their_o be_v darken_v to_o the_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o four_o grand_a cause_n aph._n card._n 1._o aph._n which_o according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o astrologer_n produce_v the_o great_a mutation_n the_o first_o whereof_o be_v the_o change_a of_o the_o apogaeum_n and_o perigaeum_n of_o the_o planet_n the_o second_o the_o change_a of_o the_o excentricity_n of_o the_o sun_n of_o venus_n of_o mercury_n of_o saturn_n of_o jupiter_n and_o of_o mars_n the_o three_o the_o diverse_a figure_n of_o the_o obliquity_n of_o the_o zodiac_n and_o the_o four_o the_o conjunction_n chief_o the_o great_a one_o of_o the_o superior_a planet_n i_o say_v that_o all_o these_o four_o cause_n may_v for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v comprise_v within_o this_o celestial_a write_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o it_o have_v happen_v very_o often_o that_o at_o what_o time_n this_o celestial_a write_n do_v point_n out_o some_o great_a change_n there_o be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n also_o a_o conjunction_n of_o the_o superior_a planet_n or_o else_o some_o one_o of_o the_o three_o other_o forename_a cause_n so_o that_o they_o not_o understand_v any_o thing_n of_o this_o celestial_a write_n impute_v those_o change_n which_o they_o observe_v to_o come_v to_o pass_v to_o those_o four_o reason_n only_o but_o that_o it_o may_v clear_o appear_v unto_o we_o that_o these_o have_v not_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o all_o these_o change_n we_o need_v but_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o chronology_n and_o particular_a annal_n of_o each_o several_a kingdom_n and_o compare_v they_o with_o the_o astrological_a observation_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o all_o the_o grand_a mutation_n have_v happen_v without_o any_o conjunction_n of_o the_o great_a planet_n or_o any_o of_o the_o other_o cause_n before_o specify_v so_o that_o we_o must_v necessary_o fly_v to_o some_o other_o more_o certain_a mean_n by_o which_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o foreknow_v by_o the_o aspect_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o star_n all_o these_o event_n now_o this_o mean_n can_v be_v no_o other_o as_o it_o seem_v but_o this_o celestial_a write_n to_o the_o three_o objection_n which_o seem_v to_o have_v the_o most_o weight_n in_o it_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o a_o man_n may_v make_v a_o resch_n of_o the_o same_o star_n that_o another_o man_n perhaps_o will_v make_v a_o dale_v of_o but_o in_o this_o as_o in_o many_o other_o thing_n we_o be_v to_o follow_v the_o tradition_n of_o the_o ancient_n and_o to_o rest_v satisfy_v with_o what_o they_o have_v deliver_v unto_o we_o otherwise_o there_o will_v not_o be_v any_o certainty_n at_o all_o in_o any_o one_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o science_n especial_o in_o astrology_n which_o require_v that_o those_o star_n which_o compose_v for_o example_n the_o constellation_n of_o aries_n or_o the_o ram_n shall_v be_v describe_v rather_o in_o the_o figure_n of_o this_o beast_n then_o in_o that_o of_o a_o ox_n or_o a_o horse_n and_o so_o in_o all_o the_o rest_n so_o that_o who_o ever_o shall_v represent_v the_o
