A45203 Demonstration of astrology, or, A brief discourse, proving the influence of the sun, moon, stars, over this terraqueous globe grounded on the fundamental rules of the Copernican system and philosophy, and verified by practical examples and experience : illustrated by diagrams : whereby the art is rendered almost mathematically demonstrable : to which is added, an astrological and philosophical appendix, or second part, treating of this summer's effects, both in the macrocosm as well as microcosm : wherein we have great cause to fear, that the sword, pestilence, and famine will annoy our European territories this ensuing summer / by William Hunt, a lover of the mathematics and natural philosophy. Hunt, William, lover of the mathematics and natural philosophy. 1696 (1696) Wing H3762; ESTC R7694 25,280 47

see_v that_o saturn_n be_v in_o perigaeon_n or_o near_o the_o earth_n and_o mars_n in_o a_o abject_a place_n as_o also_o ♃_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o cold_a summer_n for_o saturn_n

when_o simple_o in_o opposition_n with_o the_o sun_n he_o produce_v a_o warm_a season_n and_o when_o join_v with_o mars_n he_o often_o produce_v great_a heat_n and_o thunder_n and_o dr._n goad_n

when_o it_o meet_v with_o fire_n or_o heat_n it_o actuate_v that_o and_o break_v forth_o into_o combustion_n jupiter_n be_v a_o planet_n full_a of_o nitre_n do_v as_o the_o cartesian_o say_v six_z
