no_o hard_a or_o intricate_a matter_n to_o declare_v as_o well_o by_o reason_n as_o also_o by_o example_n for_o insomuch_o as_o blazing-starre_n be_v make_v of_o five_o planet_n as_o abienus_n affirm_v namely_o of_o venus_n jupiter_n mars_n saturn_n &_o mercury_n and_o that_o those_o blaze_a star_n which_o be_v make_v of_o venus_n and_o jupiter_n be_v principal_o the_o best_a and_o lucky_a it_o can_v otherwise_o be_v but_o that_o blaze_a star_n those_o special_o which_o have_v their_o influence_n from_o venus_n and_o jupiter_n shall_v sometime_o betoken_v good_a and_o not_o evermore_o evil_a a_o example_n of_o good_a credit_n may_v that_o blaze_a star_n be_v which_o when_o it_o appear_v be_v judge_v so_o happy_a and_o fortunate_a to_o the_o emperor_n caesar_n augustus_n that_o then_o it_o be_v begin_v to_o be_v worship_v in_o the_o temple_n of_o rome_n and_o no_o where_o also_o throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n because_o the_o emperor_n begin_v those_o show_n &_o pageant_n triumphant_a be_v by_o the_o appear_a of_o that_o star_n seven_o day_n continuance_n in_o the_o region_n of_o heaven_n put_v in_o hope_n and_o expectation_n afore_o hand_n of_o exceed_a great_a felicity_n and_o happiness_n to_o ensue_v which_o undoubted_o he_o obtain_v in_o such_o sort_n and_o manner_n that_o none_o in_o regiment_n be_v count_v happy_a than_o happy_a augustus_n as_o none_o be_v name_v better_a than_o the_o good_a traianus_n moreover_o upon_o the_o appear_a of_o that_o star_n there_o breed_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o commonalty_n a_o opinion_n of_o great_a reverence_n to_o wit_n that_o by_o the_o blaze_a star_n be_v signify_v the_o soul_n of_o caesar_n to_o be_v receyve_v to_o immortality_n and_o to_o enjoy_v among_o the_o god_n abundance_n of_o blessedness_n than_o which_o signification_n they_o beléeve_v nothing_o more_o joyful_a or_o comfortable_a so_o that_o we_o see_v both_o by_o reason_n and_o example_n that_o their_o conjecture_n and_o opinion_n do_v not_o always_o deserve_v belief_n which_o say_v that_o blaze_a star_n never_o appear_v but_o thereafter_o follow_v some_o mischief_n and_o ill_a touch_v which_o matter_n more_o may_v be_v say_v to_o the_o increase_n of_o comfort_n and_o the_o drive_v away_o of_o despair_n from_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o people_n than_o we_o be_v dispose_v at_o this_o time_n to_o call_v to_o memory_n to_o what_o country_n and_o to_o what_o person_n blaze_v star_n do_v principal_o betoken_v ill_a chap._n xiii_o the_o question_n be_v ask_v to_o what_o country_n and_o to_o what_o people_n special_o blaze_a star_n threaten_v mischief_n unto_o which_o demand_n doubtless_o i_o may_v think_v no_o certain_a answer_n can_v be_v make_v because_o all_o blaze_a star_n be_v not_o alike_o neither_o have_v their_o generation_n from_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o cause_n but_o some_o of_o they_o be_v natural_a other_o supernatural_a and_o proceed_v from_o god_n in_o the_o height_n of_o the_o heaven_n again_o they_o be_v without_o difference_n so_o doubtful_a in_o their_o signification_n that_o lucanus_n suppose_v their_o influence_n to_o be_v so_o general_a that_o the_o beholder_n of_o they_o either_o on_o sea_n or_o land_n can_v assure_v themselves_o of_o safety_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v universal_o to_o be_v fear_v land_n blaze_v star_n be_v universal_o to_o be_v fear_v both_o on_o sea_n and_o land_n unto_o who_o opinion_n i_o willing_o assent_v when_o blaze_a star_n supernatural_a and_o proceed_v from_o god_n do_v appear_v for_o this_o be_v of_o a_o certainty_n that_o it_o be_v god_n will_v by_o they_o to_o betoken_v and_o threaten_v some_o ill_a to_o all_o person_n in_o general_a which_o have_v offend_v and_o do_v wicked_o against_o the_o prescript_n of_o his_o holy_a law_n withdraw_v not_o themselves_o from_o that_o puddie_a of_o pollution_n and_o filthiness_n wherein_o they_o wallow_v but_o continue_v a_o life_n lade_v and_o overcharge_v with_o all_o manner_n of_o mischief_n who_o he_o of_o his_o singular_a compassion_n and_o clemency_n will_v revoke_v from_o their_o sinfulness_n by_o the_o vision_n and_o sight_n of_o blaze_a star_n as_o it_o be_v by_o horrible_a threaten_n and_o revokement_n that_o by_o reform_v their_o abominable_a life_n they_o may_v frame_v their_o conversation_n acceptable_a in_o his_o sight_n according_a to_o his_o unspeakable_a bountifulness_n long_o suffer_v and_o patience_n who_o still_o look_v for_o repentance_n before_o he_o take_v vengeance_n as_o may_v manifest_o be_v gather_v by_o his_o deal_n with_o the_o hierosolimite_n who_o he_o admonish_v of_o their_o wickedness_n by_o a_o most_o horrible_a blaze_a star_n of_o a_o whole_a year_n appear_v daily_o look_v when_o they_o will_v be_v warue_v and_o well_o appoint_v with_o pretence_n to_o prevent_v god_n sharp_a punishment_n but_o touch_v natural_a blaze_a star_n philosopher_n and_o astronomer_n have_v otherwise_o judge_v howbeit_o appointment_n blaze_v star_n nataurall_a appear_v at_o god_n appointment_n neither_o they_o shall_v at_o any_o time_n arpeare_v without_o the_o singular_a sufferance_n of_o god_n or_o some_o notable_a cause_n worthy_a remembrance_n for_o myself_o thus_o i_o say_v that_o as_o i_o be_o not_o of_o belief_n that_o they_o betoken_v and_o prove_v in_o work_v as_o the_o astrologian_n dream_n so_o i_o do_v not_o utter_o condemn_v such_o as_o hold_v it_o much_o material_a &_o great_o to_o be_v regard_v towards_o what_o part_n of_o the_o world_n they_o shoot_v and_o cast_v their_o beam_n from_o what_o star_n they_o draw_v their_o influence_n and_o force_n in_o what_o similitude_n and_o likeness_n they_o appear_v what_o colour_n they_o carry_v at_o what_o season_n of_o the_o year_n they_o show_v in_o what_o place_n under_o what_o ecclestiall_a sign_n and_o under_o what_o planet_n aspect_n for_o some_o there_o be_v which_o hold_v this_o opinion_n though_o ground_v upon_o no_o kind_n of_o reason_n that_o a_o blaze_a star_n bear_v the_o likeness_n of_o a_o lute_n harpe_n or_o semblable_a instrument_n betoken_v somewhat_o to_o music_n and_o minstrelsy_n and_o to_o the_o follower_n of_o such_o vanity_n so_o likewise_o when_o they_o carry_v this_o representation_n or_o that_o to_o have_v in_o their_o likeness_n semblant_n signification_n again_o other_o be_v of_o this_o judgement_n that_o such_o blazing-starre_n as_o appear_v under_o saturn_n be_v of_o a_o leaden_a colour_n planet_n the_o colour_n of_o blaze_a star_n appear_v under_o planet_n under_o jupiter_n white_a under_o mars_n red_a under_o sol_fw-la golden_a under_o mercury_n light_a azure_n whereupon_o it_o be_v think_v no_o hard_a matter_n to_o tell_v what_o they_o signify_v in_o nature_n general_o howbeit_o to_o person_n place_v in_o dignity_n as_o to_o pope_n cardinal_n bishop_n emperor_n kign_n luke_n and_o such_o like_a as_o be_v of_o place_n and_o countenance_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n they_o foreshow_v

point_n let_v astronomer_n show_v their_o cunning_n how_o and_o what_o way_n blaze_a star_n be_v forewarn_v of_o somewhat_o to_o come_v and_o of_o force_n so_o to_o do_v chap._n fourteen_o although_o it_o may_v seem_v diverse_o and_o many_o way_n probable_a that_o blazing-starre_n foreshow_v somewhat_o to_o ensue_v yet_o not_o withstand_v it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o we_o shall_v believe_v as_o the_o astrologian_n rash_o hold_v opinion_n that_o they_o can_v be_v sign_n or_o token_n of_o that_o thing_n whereof_o they_o be_v no_o cause_n for_o a_o blaze_a star_n can_v be_v either_o the_o

i_o will_v not_o deny_v the_o cause_n after_o a_o sort_n as_o if_o that_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o war_n and_o pestilence_n we_o suppose_v also_o to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o blaze_a
