very_o slender_o in_o us._n thus_o much_o of_o civil_a affair_n they_o make_v mention_v also_o yearly_a of_o the_o disease_n which_o shall_v reign_v but_o the_o way_n which_o they_o follow_v be_v take_v forth_o of_o the_o barren_a and_o uncertain_a rule_n of_o of_o the_o old_a astrologer_n who_o do_v so_o ascribe_v unto_o every_o planet_n certain_a disease_n that_o if_o need_n shall_v require_v they_o may_v refer_v the_o same_o disease_n unto_o many_o significatour_n as_o in_o the_o plague_n the_o putrefaction_n of_o humour_n be_v attribute_v unto_o jupiter_n the_o sharp_a fever_n

be_v white_a unto_o mars_n black_a unto_o saturn_n and_o so_o in_o every_o disease_n they_o use_v this_o inconstancy_n and_o ambiguity_n in_o prognosticate_a it_o be_v a_o rule_n among_o the_o astrologer_n that_o if_o the_o planet_n signifier_n of_o disease_n be_v well_o affect_v then_o there_o be_v no_o disease_n but_o health_n if_o they_o be_v evil_o affect_v then_o disease_n follow_v our_o prognosticatour_n never_o mark_v this_o rule_n but_o howsoever_o the_o planet_n be_v affect_v they_o straightways_o pronounce_v that_o such_o disease_n shall_v reign_v for_o example_n the_o

continual_a deceit_n wish_v they_o mind_n that_o they_o may_v one_o day_n see_v their_o own_o folly_n concern_v the_o time_n when_o the_o constellation_n take_v their_o effect_n our_o prognosticator_n say_v that_o some_o take_v their_o effect_n the_o same_o year_n some_o not_o the_o same_o year_n but_o long_o after_o as_o great_a conjunction_n and_o eclipse_n for_o they_o say_v if_o the_o moon_n
