the_o rest_n and_o in_o this_o sort_n have_v we_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o our_o speech_n mean_v concern_v the_o copious_a and_o ambigious_a manner_n of_o astrologer_n writing_n and_o speech_n very_o

the_o true_a and_o sacred_a word_n of_o god_n deserve_v to_o be_v hold_v in_o error_n by_o the_o event_n which_o they_o expect_v when_o they_o trust_v to_o the_o father_n of_o lie_v to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v afterward_o receive_v their_o due_a and_o condemnation_n so_o come_v it_o to_o saul_n when_o he_o go_v to_o the_o witch_n 28._o 1._o sam._n 28._o to_o understand_v the_o issue_n

behold_v how_o all_o these_o poor_a beast_n which_o be_v a_o continual_a prey_n to_o man_n and_o other_o creature_n do_v increase_n and_o multiply_v each_o one_o more_o in_o his_o kind_n than_o wolf_n

to_o separate_v they_o from_o the_o other_o to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v the_o less_o annoy_v they_o moreover_o he_o sunder_v they_o among_o themselves_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o they_o do_v

as_o private_a and_o domestical_a beast_n do_v because_o they_o can_v agree_v one_o with_o another_o as_o the_o peaceable_a and_o innocent_a beast_n so_o likewise_o eagle_n hawk_n falcon_n and_o other_o bird_n of_o prey_n do_v not_o fly_v together_o in_o volee_n and_o troop_n as_o pigeon_n crane_n goose_n &_o such_o like_a do_v which_o serve_v we_o for_o food_n thereupon_o then_o ensue_v that_o wild_a beast_n can_v gather_v so_o much_o power_n as_o to_o hurt_v the_o other_o upon_o who_o they_o make_v continual_a war_n and_o who_o by_o this_o mean_a be_v oftentimes_o save_v from_o
