tittle_n of_o authority_n nor_o reason_n for_o it_o because_o the_o ray_n be_v measure_v a_o different_a way_n from_o those_o in_o the_o zodiac_n nor_o do_v ever_o any_o of_o they_o pretend_v to_o any_o intersection_n of_o the_o orbit_n of_o any_o planet_n with_o the_o mundane_a circle_n and_o it_o be_v upon_o that_o alone_a this_o project_n of_o half_a latitude_n etc._n etc._n depend_v and_o till_o that_o be_v do_v there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o will_v make_v reason_n his_o judge_n can_v believe_v this_o fancy_n of_o direct_v to_o the_o angle_n with_o half_a latitude_n when_o at_o the_o

finish_v the_o point_n where_o the_o trine_n fall_v be_v not_o 90_o degree_n distant_a from_o the_o body_n that_o make_v it_o so_o that_o it_o be_v dwindle_a into_o something_o that_o want_v a_o name_n which_o can_v never_o happen_v in_o the_o true_a and_o natural_a motion_n thus_o it_o appear_v by_o these_o pretend_a direction_n that_o the_o motion_n this_o man_n and_o those_o that_o swallow_v his_o opinion_n use_v be_v fictitious_a groundless_a and_o false_a and_o whole_o beside_o the_o order_n of_o nature_n and_o true_a motion_n and_o indeed_o i_o have_v much_o more_o to_o say_v on_o this_o subject_a but_o because_o i_o think_v it_o much_o more_o fit_a for_o the_o follow_a chapter_n i_o shall_v omit_v it_o here_o six_o another_o pretty_a invention_n they_o have_v be_v to_o direct_v the_o angle_n to_o the_o antistion_n of_o the_o planet_n which_o be_v indeed_o the_o zodiacal_a parallel_n this_o likewise_o be_v a_o most_o notorious_a mistake_n and_o proclaim_v they_o

much_o amiss_o and_o out_o of_o method_n as_o the_o last_o thing_n mention_v and_o the_o reason_n be_v plain_a because_o antistion_n or_o zodiacal_a parallel_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o certain_a point_n of_o distance_n in_o the_o zodiac_n only_o nor_o can_v they_o be_v use_v in_o direction_n to_o any_o body_n or_o point_n but_o those_o who_o move_v in_o and_o near_o the_o zodiac_n and_o to_o direct_v they_o to_o the_o angle_n or_o the_o angle_n to_o they_o be_v to_o no_o more_o purpose_n than_o to_o direct_v the_o midheaven_n to_o the_o north_n pole_n and_o the_o effect_n will_v be_v equal_o the_o same_o both_o in_o force_n and_o virtue_n for_o antistion_n be_v not_o body_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v thus_o apply_v in_o direction_n to_o the_o angle_n as_o they_o constant_o have_v do_v in_o their_o practice_n and_o i_o dare_v be_v certain_a if_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v due_o and_o true_o examine_v without_o any_o success_n and_o effect_n but_o if_o that_o which_o argol_n say_v be_v true_a they_o have_v authority_n enough_o for_o what_o they_o do_v and_o have_v do_v and_o indeed_o i_o have_v the_o same_o opinion_n of_o the_o angles_n be_v direct_v to_o the_o term_n of_o the_o planet_n and_o for_o the_o very_a same_o reason_n i_o have_v just_a now_o mention_v because_o they_o be_v point_n in_o the_o zodiac_n and_o be_v only_o to_o be_v consider_v when_o body_n

and_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o latter_a depend_v on_o the_o former_a for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o who_o know_v not_o the_o truth_n of_o a_o thing_n can_v never_o report_v it_o well_o o●_n
