to_o think_v that_o any_o contagion_n or_o misfortune_n incommoditie_n or_o sickness_n whatsoever_o may_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o star_n befall_v man_n because_o as_o plato_n witness_v in_o his_o

earth_n and_o earthly_a creature_n whereas_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o no_o cause_n can_v produce_v such_o effect_n as_o be_v contrary_a to_o itself_o if_o then_o the_o good_a of_o inferior_a body_n proceed_v from_o celestial_a body_n as_o namely_o the_o generation_n production_n of_o fruit_n and_o ripe_n of_o the_o same_o yea_o and_o the_o conservation_n of_o every_o one_o virtue_n as_o in_o
