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

agency_n of_o man_n which_o powerful_o influence_n on_o humane_a action_n say_v then_o that_o the_o star_n act_v on_o the_o body_n of_o man_n and_o say_v that_o the_o complexion_n of_o the_o body_n sway_v the_o mind_n as_o be_v acknowledge_v yet_o this_o complexion_n depend_v on_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o parent_n and_o the_o quality_n of_o their_o seed_n on_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o air_n of_o that_o country_n which_o he_o be_v bear_v in_o and_o afterward_o live_v in_o on_o his_o diet_n and_o food_n he_o constant_o take_v on_o his_o education_n and_o manner_n of_o life_n all_o these_o and_o several_a other_o thing_n make_v a_o great_a difference_n in_o man_n and_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o star_n may_v be_v hinder_v by_o any_o of_o they_o much_o more_o by_o all_o of_o they_o together_o though_o the_o heaven_n dispose_v to_o such_o and_o such_o temperature_n of_o body_n yet_o they_o be_v easy_o change_v and_o overrule_v by_o the_o concurrence_n of_o these_o to_o speak_v free_o the_o star_n act_n as_o all_o other_o natural_a cause_n do_v according_a to_o the_o capacity_n and_o disposition_n of_o the_o matter_n they_o work_v upon_o now_o the_o disposition_n of_o inferior_a body_n be_v very_o different_a and_o on_o that_o account_n they_o receive_v not_o the_o heavenly_a influence_n alike_o just_o as_o we_o see_v the_o effect_n of_o disease_n be_v according_a to_o the_o diversity_n of_o man_n body_n and_o therefore_o no_o certain_a judgement_n can_v be_v make_v of_o the_o issue_n of_o one_o man_n distemper_n from_o what_o be_v observe_v in_o another_o for_o example_n a_o physician_n see_v such_o and_o such_o sign_n of_o death_n in_o two_o person_n who_o have_v high_a fever_n but_o though_o the_o prognostic_n be_v equal_a in_o both_o yet_o the_o natural_a temper_n of_o one_o may_v be_v strong_a than_o the_o other_o and_o so_o be_v too_o hard_a for_o the_o disease_n and_o overcome_v it_o but_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o the_o master_n of_o medic_n to_o foresee_v this_o the_o case_n be_v the_o same_o here_o and_o it_o be_v confirm_v by_o experience_n all_o person_n who_o be_v bear_v under_o the_o same_o planet_n be_v not_o of_o the_o same_o condition_n and_o fortune_n in_o the_o world_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o condition_n and_o fate_n of_o man_n be_v alike_o as_o when_o many_o thousand_o fall_n in_o battle_n in_o one_o day_n though_o different_a star_n reign_v at_o their_o birth_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o all_o man_n be_v not_o alike_o capable_a of_o the_o influence_n of_o heaven_n for_o there_o may_v be_v want_v a_o concurrence_n of_o several_a cause_n which_o i_o have_v before_o name_v to_o make_v they_o equal_a and_o it_o be_v undeniable_o true_a that_o the_o heaven_n be_v not_o the_o integral_a cause_n of_o man_n condition_n and_o action_n i_o infer_v then_o irrefragable_o that_o no_o astrologer_n can_v certain_o foretell_v future_a event_n which_o depend_v upon_o so_o many_o
