A37977	Cometomantia, A discourse of comets shewing their original, substance, place, time, magnitude, motion, number, colour, figure, kinds, names, and more especially, their prognosticks, significations and presages ... : where also is inserted an essay of judiciary astrology, giving satisfaction to this grand question, whether any certain judgments and predictions concerning future events, can be made from the observation of the heavenly bodies : both occasioned by the appearance of the late comets in England and other places.	Edwards, John, 1637-1716.	1684 (1684)	Wing E199; ESTC R1452	91,449	318

the_o extraordinary_a and_o hurtful_a heat_n which_o be_v produce_v by_o a_o comet_n both_o when_o it_o be_v in_o sight_n and_o after_o its_o extinction_n several_a other_o evil_n be_v cause_v in_o

of_o the_o fruit_n must_v be_v the_o product_n of_o they_o and_o from_o these_o will_v natural_o ensue_v dearth_n scarcity_n and_o famine_n and_o as_o the_o inevitable_a effect_n of_o both_o we_o

be_v object_v that_o if_o comet_n be_v significative_a and_o portentous_a then_o there_o be_v as_o much_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o other_o heavenly_a body_n as_o the_o planet_n and_o the_o
