let us hear what those predictions are that Will. Ramsey is pleased in his Epistle to the Reader to disavow or grant Which are the very same that the Doctour denyes or grants and William speaks them in higher words then the Doctour I will give them unto you in his own words His heads upon a just particular account are six 1. Saith he the rules of Astrologie doth so W. Ramsey is pleased to joyn a Nown plurall and Verb singular together but this is a small matter with him who after is miserably out in his Latine Greek and Hebrew But for present I was forced to touch his English upon whose score it lyes because I promised to give you his mind in his own words I say Will. Ramsey saith in the first place that the rules of Astrology doth not meddle with vain contingencies or such as have an indifferent respect to the opposites as depending upon unknown or indeterminate causes which may happen one way or other 2. Will. Ramsey saith Mans will is not subject to the influence of the stars neither hath Astrology to do with it but accidentally so farre as the soul with the faculties thereof follow the temperature of the body which the friends of Astrology themselves acknowledge is impeded and altered so many wayes as that Astrologicall predictions of man come to nothing See the Doctours Demonologie chap. 10. § 4. 3. Neither doth Astrologie meddle with the Providence of God 4. Or shew cause of miracles 5. Or meddles with the secrets of God for they are past finding out Astrologers are but men that contemplate naturall causes 6. Astrologie or the influence of stars have no fatall necessity except some contingency be mixt therewith for this were to deny the providence of God Thus W. Ramsey whereof the last is delivered with that wonderfull contradiction of fatall necessity and contingency But you have them as he gives them Now let the Reader that hath a mind to understand the right compare the Doctours and W. R. his stateing of the Question together and he shall find those six things afore said set down by William in that his Epistle to the Reader fully to agree with the Doctours Tenet in the main Therefore W. R. in his great warfare in his ensuing Pamphlet against the Doctours Demonologie either as a distracted man departs from his own principles or else plainly fights against himself let William take his choyse And if he be like some of his brethren he will choose the former For however they state the question in words I am sure they practise in deeds quite contrary undertaking to know by the starres who and where are the Theeves and stollen goods of such and such a robbery the cattle and Drovers that carried them away from such and such a ground at such a time and the like feits and these they practise for money Yea they are bold to predict the events of warres the successes of marriages and thousands of such meer humane events which the Scripture pronounceth uncertain to us The battle is not to the strong nor the race to the swift Promotion cometh not from the East starres nor the VVest starres c. but all fall out as Gods providence disposeth Yet those Astrologers will boldly undertake to predict such things as their Almanacks and Astrologicall Predictions c. do testifie By which writings they gain credit and custome of miserable seduced souls to fee them and feed them with money for meer impostures as many of their Clients do daily complain saying the Astrologers had their money not forbearing to name the men and the money but they were never the neerer to find that they promised them But if this were all that Astrologers did do it were not so intolerable But they have practised some things that are not to be indured in any Common-wealth viz. to disswade men of quality from marrying worthy Gentlewomen using lies for their arguments An intolerable practise of Astrologers forgeing those things of the Gentlewomen to disinable their persons and to reproch them in their repute as are not fit here to be named but at due time and place shall be made good before any Court of Justice by undenyable proof And at the rate of Will. Ramsey's sounding the Trumpet the battle is likely speedily to begin And William Ramsey himself for all his stateing of the question aforesaid undertakes to predict many humane events quite without the sphere of the state of his question in his discourse of the Eclipse of the Sun at the end of his rayling reply to D. Homes his Demonologie Amongst the rest he predicts In the last page save one that before that Eclipse hath finished its effects Ministers shall be in lesse esteem then they would fain perswade the vulgar concerning the students in Astrology Whatever the Epithets be he gives to Ministers there he intends not them for distinction but for agnomination to them all good as well as bad or else he would not lay the cause of that prediction to be the Ministers opposing Astrologers and upbraid Doctour Homes And let me tell thee William a prophesie out of the Word of God against Judiciall Astrologers A Prophecy against Astrologers that as Aarons rod swallowed up the Enchanters rods Exod. 7.12 Balaam was killed when the Priests and Levites of the Lord were preserved Numb 13.22 Daniel the Prophet is preserved and honoured when sentence of death was pronounced against the Astrologers Dan. 2. vers 2.14.27.28 c. to the end of the chapter and the persons having familiar spirits and the Diviners and Exorcists c. fell before the Apostles Acts chap. 8. chap. 19. c. So these last and greatest sort of wicked men that lead poor souls from God to the Devill from his word to their circles and figures shall without repentance according to all the prophecies of the old Testament against Astrologers Magicians Enchanters Sorcerers c. quoted in the Doctours Demonologie perish with Antichrist and all Christs enemies at the great destruction of the wicked near approching for making way for the Saints Triumph a while on earth over all their enemies Revel 21.8 22.15 Now William and thy brethren runne your course in Judiciall Astrology according to your wonted manner of practise at your perill and venture it whither your Eclipse or the light of our Sun the word of God will prophesie more truly I wonder in what starre or constellation or their postures William could reade this goodly change that godly Ministers must be discountenanced and lying Astrologers as the Scripture calls them shall be advanced His telling me there of ☽ to a □ of ♄ c. with many the like anticks figures gibberish and cantings is lesse is worse then nothing unlesse he could demonstrate to me for that 's the honour of a true Mathematician to demonstrate most potently by reason why such postures and features of starres and constellations must needs pre-signifie such and such
