form_n by_o which_o &_o not_o by_o the_o heaven_n they_o be_v make_v that_o whatsoever_o they_o be_v these_o proper_a cause_n because_o their_o nature_n be_v unknowen_a unto_o we_o i_o can_v see_v

from_o the_o earth_n behold_v the_o heaven_n &_o the_o star_n perceive_v they_o not_o in_o their_o just_a quantity_n but_o as_o very_o small_a light_n for_o in_o deed_n the_o sun_n be_v a_o hundred_o

the_o prognosticator_n only_o mark_v 1028_o star_n &_o of_o these_o he_o take_v only_a heed_n unto_o a_o very_a few_o which_o be_v as_o though_o a_o man_n shall_v judge_v the_o power_n of_o a_o army_n by_o the_o power_n of_o one_o or_o two_o soldier_n and_o captain_n not_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o whole_a company_n the_o 3._o impediment_n be_v the_o infinite_a variety_n of_o the_o virtue_n of_o star_n &_o the_o part_n of_o heaven_n which_o astrologer_n grant_v to_o be_v yet_o they_o do_v not_o know_v they_o as_o touch_v y_z e_o nature_n of_o the_o fix_a star_n they_o know_v nothing_o but_o by_o the_o colour_n which_o be_v red_a leady_o white_a pale_a etc._n etc._n resemble_v some_o planet_n and_o because_o they_o know_v not_o y_fw-mi e_z virtue_n of_o all_o star_n &_o every_o part_n of_o heaven_n they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o judge_v any_o thing_n but_o to_o their_o own_o shame_n no_o more_o than_o the_o physician_n be_v able_a to_o know_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o

for_o if_o a_o man_n can_v tell_v both_o the_o number_n and_o nature_n of_o star_n yet_o the_o variety_n of_o position_n breed_v trouble_v &_o hinder_v right_a judgement_n because_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o power_n of_o star_n be_v increase_v diminish_v &_o change_v and_o these_o rule_n which_o serve_v for_o ancient_a time_n to_o foretell_v thing_n will_v not_o serve_v we_o because_o all_o the_o fix_a star_n have_v change_v their_o place_n and_o the_o rest_n be_v daily_o change_v the_o 5._o impediment_n the_o infinite_a variety_n of_o inferior_a thing_n which_o do_v hinder_v pervert_v change_n receive_v or_o not_o receive_v y_z e_o virtue_n &_o prediction_n of_o star_n as_o y_z e_z nature_n of_o the_o soil_n the_o disposition_n natural_a of_o air_n order_n &_o constitution_n of_o
