mr._n john_n petrige_n new_a prophecy_n of_o this_o present_a year_n 1684._o wherein_o be_v foretell_v the_o most_o considerable_a event_n and_o mutation_n in_o great-britain_n france_n ireland_n holland_n germany_n italy_n etc._n etc._n according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o best_a astrologer_n that_o the_o superior_a have_v influence_n on_o the_o inferior_a body_n no_o man_n that_o have_v not_o give_v himself_o over_o to_o stupidity_n can_v deny_v but_o that_o their_o influence_n be_v so_o great_a that_o their_o effect_n be_v inevitable_a be_v more_o than_o we_o affirm_v for_o to_o what_o end_n do_v we_o disturb_v and_o amuse_v the_o world_n with_o the_o unpleasant_a rumour_n of_o horrid_a and_o dreadful_a calamity_n that_o seem_v approach_v but_o to_o warn_v and_o incite_v man_n to_o a_o use_n of_o mean_n for_o the_o prevent_n of_o severe_a judgement_n which_o otherwise_o will_v overtake_v they_o we_o read_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o they_o be_v place_v in_o the_o heaven_n for_o sign_n of_o season_n of_o night_n and_o day_n winter_n and_o summer_n etc._n etc._n now_o if_o we_o beside_o the_o proper_a and_o natural_a meaning_n of_o the_o word_n do_v likewise_o use_v a_o metaphorical_a interpretation_n of_o they_o to_o wit_n that_o they_o also_o be_v for_o sign_n of_o the_o night_n or_o winter_n of_o adversity_n and_o the_o day_n or_o summer_n of_o prosperity_n i_o humble_o conceive_v we_o do_v not_o thereby_o pervert_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o though_o we_o be_v forbid_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o be_v afraid_a or_o dismay_v at_o the_o sign_n of_o heaven_n viz._n to_o be_v possess_v with_o such_o a_o fear_n as_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o our_o confidence_n in_o god_n or_o as_o disturb_v we_o in_o perform_v the_o duty_n we_o owe_v as_o creature_n to_o our_o great_a creator_n or_o so_o as_o to_o become_v infatuate_a that_o through_o the_o excess_n of_o fear_n we_o suffer_v our_o reason_n to_o be_v so_o far_o eclipse_v that_o we_o can_v put_v it_o in_o exercise_n either_o for_o our_o temporal_a or_o eternal_a wellbeing_a yet_o i_o do_v not_o see_v but_o we_o may_v lawful_o so_o far_o be_v
