chamber_n for_o the_o book_n âake_v as_o i_o believe_v rather_o that_o it_o be_v so_o for_o that_o i_o have_v see_v king_n jamesâuoted_v in_o defence_n of_o astrology_n whatsoever_o you_o say_v but_o

approve_v that_o which_o neither_o he_o nor_o mâses_n nor_o any_o honest_a astrologer_n will_v approve_v of_o as_o concerning_o his_o definition_n of_o astrology_n he_o set_v it_o down_o as_o he_o maintein_v it_o you_o as_o the_o chaldean_n use_v it_o so_o that_o because_o you_o can_v pick_v no_o hole_n in_o his_o coat_n for_o his_o astrology_n therefore_o you_o quarrel_n against_o the_o chaldean_n astrology_n go_v tell_v the_o chaldean_n of_o it_o what_o be_v that_o to_o sr_n christopher_n it_o argue_v a_o wrangle_a spirit_n again_o how_o often_o boil_v that_o cramb_n of_o you_o concerning_o the_o prediction_n of_o the_o death_n of_o henry_n ii_o king_n of_o france_n upon_o a_o certain_a day_n by_o a_o wound_n in_o his_o head_n by_o a_o conjurer_n if_o a_o conjurer_n what_o

any_o excellency_n in_o any_o thing_n that_o their_o shallow_a reach_n can_v apprehend_v because_o mount_v taurus_n shadow_n the_o bull_n of_o lemnos_n though_o 20_o mile_n off_o they_o will_v have_v

the_o very_a day_n of_o any_o man_n death_n if_o he_o do_v you_o may_v have_v do_v well_o to_o have_v quote_v the_o page_n and_o not_o put_v we_o to_o read_v all_o his_o book_n and_o yet_o miss_v of_o
