Did not the Devil and the Priests deceive you that bout I suppose it was a Whitehal Scheam which you judged that by perhaps of the same mans setting as that was which you predicted the taking away the City of Londons Charter by though you laid the sham on an Eclipse of the Moon you know Now when you have considered all this Nonsense Sham and Cheat how can you have the impudence to pretend to be Master and Teacher of any other Astrology than a false one and who do you think will believe you Fools excepted Likewise in the same Page 32. he is so notoriously bold as to deny my quotations from Ptolomey that is lib. 3. Chap. 12. de parte Fortunae and Chap. 13. Quot sint Prorogatores The first of which he says treats of de Impedimentis Infirmitatibus Nati c. and the second de qualitatibus Animae Nati Now I will appeal to all those Gentlemen that have that worthy Author by them of the best Impression which is that of Melancthon who is in the truth He or I for if the 12. and 13. Chapters of the third Book of Ptolomeys Quadripartite doth not treat the one departe Fortunae and the other de Prorogatoribus then I never have read that Book in my whole life But I suppose this Fellow hath cheared himself with the Translation of Camerarius which is the worst in being but it is indeed good enough for him for if he had a better he knows not what use to make of it Now you that are able to examine this Case and judge it will see what a strange Fellow I have here to do with for the two Chapters he there alledgeth are the 17. and the 18. of that third Book In Page 33. he tells us that he was there about to lay by his pen but upon new Considerations fresh Matter came in and my prevarications and abuse of art makes him enter into a long preamble about the Conjunctions of Saturn and Jupiter of which he gives you a very lame account but it serves to those that do not understand better but to what purpose he luggs them in I know not neither can I apprehend any occasion for them in his pretended answer to that Alman In Page 40. he brings in the Palladium of Rome to shew you that it is under no such misfortunes as I pretend to say it is neither says he is there any reason for it in the figure he produceth in the first place I never spoke any thing as to the Buildings and Foundations of Rome but the Cheating Crew that there resides for it is not against the stone Walls that I shoot but the Murder Idolatry and Villany of those that pretend to be the Head Members and Body of that cursed Antichristian Society who prophanely call themselves the Church of Christ and Christians for in the same Houses there might good pious People dwell were these removed or destroyed and Rome may be Rome when the Pope and all his Lewd Buggering Clergy are gone But if Gadbury pleaseth to consider the present Affairs between the King of France and the Pope and how dreadfully that Storm threatens the Holy See if it goes forward I suppose he will not be so impertinently positive in his Judgment from the Palladium now as he was at the writing of that Malicious Pamphlet Again let him with this also consider how the Lords Inquisitors and Cardinals did handle the Pope in the Affairs of Molinos I think this is an untoward Omen to the Grandeur of the Infallible Power lodged in the Pope as they say Which is further aggravated by that slight they put upon his Bull at Colien all which considered together tells us that either the Palladium is a false position or else the Prophetical Interpreter thereof gives a Lying Judgment to delude the Papists c.
