that_o the_o art_n of_o astrology_n be_v a_o diabolical_a divination_n 34.9_o psalm_n 84.11_o &_o 34.9_o for_o say_v the_o prophet_n david_n the_o lord_n will_v give_v grace_n and_o glory_n no_o

by_o the_o lord_n manifest_v unto_o his_o people_n so_o that_o if_o the_o foreknowledge_n of_o thing_n by_o astrology_n be_v a_o good_a thing_n it_o have_v be_v by_o the_o lord_n reveal_v unto_o his_o

do_v condemn_v the_o practitioner_n of_o astrology_n therefore_o it_o do_v condemn_v astrology_n now_o then_o for_o as_o much_o as_o astrologer_n do_v take_v upon_o they_o for_o to_o divine_a by_o their_o art_n of_o astrology_n of_o the_o particular_a event_n of_o thing_n belong_v to_o man_n therefore_o i_o say_v that_o the_o aforesaid_a art_n of_o judicial_a astrology_n be_v a_o diabolical_a

8.20_o isaiah_n 8.20_o if_o they_o speak_v not_o according_a to_o this_o word_n it_o be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o light_n in_o they_o from_o the_o very_a word_n of_o god_n you_o may_v here_o then_o very_o evident_o behold_v that_o astrologer_n be_v worker_n in_o darkness_n and_o their_o art_n of_o astrology_n be_v a_o work_n of_o darkness_n 5.11_o eph._n 5.11_o wherefore_o consider_v

yet_o then_o even_o than_o i_o will_v deny_v astrology_n to_o be_v a_o lawful_a art_n but_o now_o to_o return_v again_o to_o the_o aforesaid_a position_n of_o the_o astrologer_n which_o be_v this_o viz_o that_o the_o star_n be_v natural_a cause_n of_o such_o effect_n as_o astrologer_n foretell_v first_o i_o will_v examine_v this_o position_n and_o then_o shall_v we_o see_v whether_o those_o

those_o thing_n belong_v to_o man_n which_o thing_n be_v by_o the_o astrologer_n appropriate_v to_o the_o twelve_o house_n of_o heaven_n as_o for_o the_o thing_n who_o effect_n 50._o mr._n lily_n

for_o these_o reason_n first_o then_o i_o say_v that_o the_o star_n be_v not_o natural_a cause_n of_o those_o aforesaid_a event_n because_o there_o be_v a_o dependence_n and_o coherence_n between_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o effect_n in_o natural_a thing_n but_o in_o these_o thing_n there_o be_v none_o for_o every_o effect_n and_o accident_n do_v show_v its_o cause_n so_o that_o natural_a and_o

supernatural_a cause_n herein_o the_o astrologer_n be_v beside_o the_o matter_n and_o be_v deceive_v in_o their_o principle_n for_o they_o take_v metaphysical_a or_o supernatural_a effect_n and_o accident_n to_o be_v effect_v by_o natural_a and_o elementary_a cause_n now_o why_o the_o astrologer_n be_v here_o deceive_v be_v this_o viz_o because_o they_o do_v behold_v and_o see_v many_o alteration_n change_n event_n and_o accident_n effect_v in_o man_n body_n hereupon_o they_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o say_v alteration_n change_n event_n and_o accident_n be_v effect_v by_o and_o from_o natural_a and_o elementary_a cause_n because_o the_o body_n of_o man_n upon_o who_o the_o say_a thing_n be_v effect_v be_v a_o natural_a and_o elementary_a substance_n wherefore_o i_o say_v that_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n which_o the_o astrologer_n affirm_v to_o be_v effect_v by_o and_o from_o natural_a cause_n the_o which_o position_n i_o do_v deny_v and_o say_v that_o those_o

no_o man_n can_v by_o the_o star_n foresee_v such_o event_n it_o be_v very_o manifest_a for_o if_o all_o the_o stargazer_n in_o the_o world_n if_o they_o be_v agazing_a all_o together_o at_o once_o

for_o as_o much_o as_o some_o of_o they_o will_v needs_o be_v take_v for_o to_o be_v prophet_n i_o deny_v that_o these_o astrologer_n be_v any_o of_o god_n prophet_n but_o that_o they_o be_v the_o

there_o be_v such_o affinity_n and_o agreement_n between_o these_o two_o art_n viz_o astrology_n and_o magic_n that_o as_o magic_n can_v be_v perform_v without_o astrology_n so_o astrology_n can_v

here_o it_o be_v object_v viz_o solution_n objection_n solution_n that_o the_o astrologer_n may_v stay_v himself_o in_o his_o figure_n and_o proceed_v no_o further_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o particular_a event_n can_v be_v know_v without_o the_o help_n of_o a_o spirit_n therefore_o i_o say_v that_o the_o difference_n be_v not_o great_a in_o whatsoever_o degree_n he_o proceed_v so_o he_o proceed_v at_o all_o with_o the_o devil_n in_o his_o illusion_n so_o that_o if_o he_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o particular_a event_n whether_o it_o be_v by_o conference_n or_o by_o some_o other_o mean_n than_o he_o do_v proceed_v with_o the_o devil_n in_o his_o illusion_n for_o we_o be_v herein_o certify_v that_o this_o thing_n

astrology_n either_o have_v be_v or_o may_v be_v altogether_o separate_v from_o magic_n this_o the_o astroleger_n can_v never_o prove_v if_o they_o can_v then_o let_v we_o see_v they_o do_v it_o but_o it_o be_v again_o object_v by_o the_o astrologer_n as_o follow_v viz_o astrologer_n the_o great_a objection_n of_o astrologer_n that_o those_o event_n which_o the_o astrologer_n do_v predict_v and_o
