their_o prediction_n though_o there_o have_v be_v enough_o say_v why_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v trust_v yet_o now_o brief_o i_o will_v show_v that_o though_o all_o their_o prediction_n shall_v fall_v out_o true_a yet_o we_o be_v not_o one_o whit_n more_o to_o believe_v or_o use_v they_o but_o to_o follow_v the_o counsel_n of_o saint_n august_n lib._n 2._o the_o doct_n christ_n cap._n 22._o who_o

woman_n in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n give_v a_o true_a testimony_n to_o the_o apostle_n yet_o paul_n do_v not_o spare_v that_o spirit_n but_o rather_o cleanse_v it_o by_o the_o rebuke_n and_o cast_v out_o of_o that_o devil_n therefore_o all_o these_o art_n smell_v of_o vain_a or_o rather_o hurtful_a superstition_n by_o reason_n of_o a_o certain_a pestilent_a confederacy_n between_o man_n and_o devil_n as_o false_a and_o fraudulent_a compact_n be_v to_o be_v reject_v and_o abandon_v of_o christian_n why_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v trust_v though_o they_o say_v all_o true_a may_v appear_v if_o we_o consider_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o say_v sometime_o true_a which_o may_v be_v reduce_v to_o four_o the_o first_o cause_n be_v refer_v to_o a_o certain_a pact_n &_o league_n between_o the_o astrologer_n and_o the_o devil_n or_o to_o a_o certain_a secret_a instinct_n and_o motion_n whereby_o man_n at_o unaware_o be_v oft_o incite_v to_o guess_v according_a to_o that_o of_o

which_o keep_v odd_a day_n galen_n be_v come_v well_o as_o he_o think_v thus_o far_o procee_v far_a to_o contradict_v archigenes_n namely_o that_o no_o part_n of_o the_o 21._o day_n shall_v be_v critical_a but_o the_o whole_a twenty_o day_n only_o wherefore_o he_o take_v not_o the_o peragration_n month_n as_o we_o even_o now_o call_v it_o but_o that_o which_o be_v from_o change_n to_o

not_o deny_v but_o the_o 21._o may_v be_v critical_a especial_o in_o sharp_a disease_n this_o have_v i_o say_v lest_o when_o i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o critical_a day_n can_v be_v refer_v to_o the_o moon_n whether_o we_o weigh_v her_o virtue_n by_o the_o sun_n or_o the_o sign_n it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o we_o have_v not_o full_o satisfy_v because_o galen_n have_v find_v out_o a_o

shall_v diverse_a way_n be_v prove_v for_o if_o these_o stir_n as_o he_o call_v they_o happen_z when_o the_o moon_n be_v in_o quadrangular_a or_o opposite_a sign_n to_o the_o place_n where_o any_o thing_n have_v his_o beginning_n and_o again_o when_o it_o be_v illustrate_v with_o quadrangular_a or_o opposite_a sunbeam_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o expect_v these_o event_n from_o the_o moon_n but_o at_o such_o time_n as_o it_o be_v place_v one_o of_o these_o way_n if_o so_o be_v that_o we_o look_v for_o those_o event_n from_o those_o cause_n but_o if_o we_o look_v for_o they_o from_o the_o physician_n month_n and_o from_o the_o half_n and_o quarter_n of_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o depend_v of_o those_o cause_n which_o galen_n have_v prove_v to_o raise_v and_o breed_v those_o stir_n for_o then_o those_o cause_n be_v not_o absurd_a therefore_o and_o sottish_a be_v it_o to_o say_v that_o the_o virtue_n of_o both_o the_o constellation_n be_v mingle_v at_o that_o time_n when_o none_o of_o those_o constellation_n be_v find_v wherefore_o if_o this_o critical_a power_n be_v seek_v of_o galen_n in_o the_o quarter_n and_o half_n of_o the_o physician_n month_n and_o not_o in_o the_o

time_n as_o these_o be_v not_o again_o according_a to_o galens_n month_n the_o thirteen_o day_n rather_o then_o the_o fourteen_o shall_v be_v critical_a for_o that_o have_v thirteen_o hour_n whereas_o

be_v most_o false_a for_o neither_o can_v i_o ever_o observe_v it_o in_o any_o and_o this_o present_a 1600._o being_n leap_v year_n do_v sufficient_o convince_v the_o contrary_n for_o we_o see_v the_o

neither_o be_v fruit_n or_o beast_n or_o bath_n or_o child_n ever_o a_o whit_n weak_a or_o worse_a than_o they_o be_v other_o year_n so_o that_o the_o leap_v year_n for_o any_o thing_n i_o see_v may_v well_o use_v the_o defence_n of_o merry_a skelton_n who_o be_v a_o priest_n and_o have_v a_o child_n by_o his_o wife_n every_o one_o cry_v out_o oh_o skelton_n have_v a_o child_n fie_o on_o he_o etc._n etc._n their_o mouth_n at_o that_o time_n he_o can_v not_o stop_v but_o on_o a_o holy_a day_n in_o a_o merry_a mood_n he_o bring_v the_o child_n to_o church_n with_o he_o and_o in_o the_o

have_v have_v then_o so_o we_o say_v for_o the_o leap_n year_n if_o it_o have_v change_v the_o nature_n of_o thing_n as_o it_o be_v charge_v how_o shall_v it_o have_v do_v then_o to_o defend_v itself_o if_o the_o nature_n of_o any_o thing_n change_v in_o the_o leap_n year_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v true_a in_o man_n and_o woman_n according_a to_o the_o answer_n of_o a_o mad_a fellow_n to_o his_o mistress_n who_o be_v call_v knave_n by_o she_o reply_v that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o say_v he_o if_o you_o remember_v yourself_o good_a mistress_n this_o be_v leap_v year_n and_o then_o as_o you_o know_v well_o knave_n wear_v smock_n but_o for_o far_a answer_n we_o must_v tell_v they_o that_o the_o leap_v year_n be_v no_o work_n of_o nature_n but_o ex_fw-la positione_n humana_fw-la at_o man_n appointment_n and_o pleasure_n wherefore_o since_o the_o leap_n year_n be_v but_o a_o humane_a constitution_n it_o can_v be_v that_o it_o shall_v change_v the_o nature_n of_o thing_n for_o the_o objection_n of_o shepherd_n and_o fruterer_n we_o say_v that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o lewd_a shift_n of_o crafty_a hind_n to_o deceive_v their_o master_n bear_v they_o in_o hand_n that_o their_o thing_n be_v dead_a when_o they_o have_v steal_v they_o for_o the_o objection_n of_o woman_n with_o child_n in_o those_o year_n it_o be_v of_o small_a force_n consider_v how_o

melancholy_n which_o be_v every_o four_o day_n the_o answer_n be_v plain_a that_o melancholy_a in_o work_v observe_v the_o four_o day_n as_o we_o see_v in_o quartain_a ague_n but_o in_o saturn_n it_o be_v nothing_o so_o who_o leap_v rather_o by_o five_o for_o still_o after_o three_o ordinary_a year_n complete_a come_v the_o four_o leap_v year_n otherwise_o quite_o then_o in_o a_o quartain_a ague_n where_o we_o see_v continual_o but_o two_o good_a day_n and_o the_o three_o evil_a and_o yet_o it_o be_v call_v and_o count_v a_o quartain_a although_o i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a that_o country_n people_n common_o call_v it_o the_o three_o day_n ague_n the_o like_a grossness_n be_v commit_v when_o they_o say_v that_o the_o moon_n by_o her_o moisture_n reign_v over_o phlegm_n and_o the_o sea_n which_o if_o it_o be_v true_a why_o shall_v we_o not_o have_v two_o fit_n every_o day_n of_o a_o quotidian_a as_o we_o have_v two_o sea_n tide_n again_o the_o leap_n year_n be_v but_o a_o humane_a constitution_n it_o have_v a_o time_n when_o it_o begin_v before_o that_o time_n when_o there_o be_v no_o leap_n year_n nor_o intercalate_v what_o be_v to_o be_v say_v then_o and_o if_o we_o shall_v not_o intercalate_n every_o four_o year_n but_o every_o eight_o year_n put_v in_o two_o day_n or_o every_o twelve_o year_n put_v in_o three_o day_n shall_v only_o those_o year_n be_v bad_a and_o dismal_a and_o now_o that_o the_o pope_n intercalate_v certain_a day_n soon_o than_o we_o and_o at_o every_o 130._o year_n quite_o otherwise_o then_o we_o will_v that_o make_v no_o alteration_n in_o the_o leap_n year_n again_o why_o may_v not_o any_o other_o of_o the_o three_o year_n be_v the_o four_o year_n as_o well_o as_o the_o leap_n year_n chap._n xx_o the_o vanity_n of_o critical_a day_n

affirm_v the_o same_o alteration_n to_o happen_v to_o thing_n when_o the_o moon_n come_v to_o the_o quadrangular_a and_o opposite_a place_n to_o those_o where_o it_o be_v when_o any_o thing_n be_v

sure_a cause_n of_o critical_a day_n especial_o since_o the_o seven_o and_o the_o fourteen_o day_n be_v hold_v as_o principal_a critic_n because_o in_o the_o seven_o day_n the_o moon_n come_v to_o the_o four_o sign_n from_o that_o which_o it_o be_v in_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o disease_n and_o in_o the_o fourteen_o day_n to_o the_o opposite_a place_n of_o the_o same_o in_o which_o two_o place_n because_o the_o moon_n be_v wont_a to_o make_v stir_n it_o fall_v out_o that_o in_o those_o day_n likewise_o the_o disease_n be_v troublesome_a and_o busy_a to_o death_n if_o the_o disease_n be_v dangerous_a but_o to_o good_a health_n if_o it_o be_v otherwise_o now_o galen_n be_v desirous_a to_o prove_v not_o only_o the_o 21._o as_o archigenes_n will_v have_v it_o but_o the_o twenty_o also_o to_o be_v critical_a he_o fetch_v that_o from_o the_o course_n of_o the_o moon_n which_o go_v round_o once_o every_o 27._o day_n eight_o hour_n which_o time_n be_v call_v mensis_fw-la

so_o that_o the_o 21._o day_n by_o the_o course_n of_o the_o moon_n belong_v partly_o to_o the_o 21._o day_n natural_a partly_o to_o the_o twenty_o for_o his_o twelve_o first_o hour_n end_v &_o
