A92033	Lux veritatis or, Christian judicial astrology vindicated, and demonology confuted: in answer to Nath. Homes, D.D. Wherein his allegations of the learned, reasons, divine proofs, and arguments, are particularly examined and convinced. With the legality of the art maintained and warranted by Scripture. Whereunto is annexed, a short discourse of that great eclipse of the sun, March 29. 1652. By William Ramesey Gent. student in astrologie and physick.

no_o such_o science_n as_o natural_a philosophy_n because_o all_o inferior_a body_n below_o the_o moon_n as_o say_v the_o great_a philosopher_n aristotle_n depend_v upon_o the_o superior_a celestial_a

this_o be_v a_o mere_a urge_n or_o a_o opinion_n of_o some_o that_o the_o ☽_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o ebb_a and_o flow_v of_o the_o sea_n or_o that_o it_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v attribute_v to_o that_o part_n of_o natural_a philosophy_n which_o be_v call_v meteorologie_n and_o so_o consequent_o to_o be_v a_o part_n of_o physics_n when_o all_o the_o world_n know_v that_o have_v any_o

☽_o be_v the_o absolute_a cause_n of_o the_o ebb_a and_o flow_v of_o the_o sea_n and_o this_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o all_o or_o most_o know_a and_o learned_a writer_n both_o in_o this_o art_n and_o other_o science_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o it_o be_v so_o clear_a to_o all_o the_o learned_a that_o his_o great_a friend_n picus_n mirandula_n which_o be_v a_o strong_a champion_n or_o at_o

of_o the_o ebb_a and_o flow_v of_o the_o sea_n if_o he_o have_v any_o understanding_n in_o the_o art_n as_o by_o his_o writing_n i_o must_v confess_v as_o i_o but_o now_o say_v i_o see_v none_o let_v

of_o the_o place_n of_o her_o first_o beginning_n and_o he_o shall_v never_o err_v in_o this_o point_n this_o be_v sufficient_o well_o know_v to_o the_o learned_a practitioner_n and_o the_o son_n of_o

by_o all_o his_o rabble_n the_o art_n of_o astrology_n say_v he_o if_o any_o one_o urge_v that_o astrology_n bandles_a of_o the_o quality_n and_o effect_n of_o the_o star_n we_o reply_v that_o so_o do_v astronomy_n of_o their_o quality_n namely_o of_o their_o light_n and_o colour_n and_o natural_a philosophy_n of_o their_o effect_n in_o watery_a airy_a and_o fiery_a meteor_n as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v astrology_n be_v no_o science_n at_o all_o but_o will_v give_v its_o property_n to_o another_o study_n if_o this_o be_v not_o slanderous_a and_o malicious_a let_v the_o weak_a in_o the_o

that_o this_o appearance_n of_o this_o star_n make_v neither_o for_o nor_o against_o astrology_n since_o as_o before_o you_o have_v hear_v divine_a matter_n be_v not_o to_o be_v judge_v by_o natural_a

the_o like_a and_o same_o be_v predict_v and_o point_v out_o but_o to_o come_v to_o the_o objection_n logical_a which_o he_o say_v be_v bring_v in_o defence_n of_o astrology_n and_o his_o answer_n the_o first_o be_v that_o god_n make_v the_o star_n to_o be_v sign_n gen._n 1.14_o therefore_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o signification_n of_o these_o sign_n be_v lawful_a his_o answer_n be_v god_n
