A45203	Demonstration of astrology, or, A brief discourse, proving the influence of the sun, moon, stars, over this terraqueous globe grounded on the fundamental rules of the Copernican system and philosophy, and verified by practical examples and experience : illustrated by diagrams : whereby the art is rendered almost mathematically demonstrable : to which is added, an astrological and philosophical appendix, or second part, treating of this summer's effects, both in the macrocosm as well as microcosm : wherein we have great cause to fear, that the sword, pestilence, and famine will annoy our European territories this ensuing summer / by William Hunt, a lover of the mathematics and natural philosophy.

will_v hold_v the_o test_n of_o experience_n which_o be_v the_o only_a refiner_n of_o truth_n saturn_n i_o believe_v to_o be_v as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n a_o opake_v body_n and_o as_o say_v ptolemy_n of_o a_o cold_a and_o dry_a nature_n especial_o by_o accident_n for_o we_o be_v always_o sensible_a of_o his_o chill_a influence_n when_o he_o be_v in_o perigaeon_n or_o in_o heliocentrick_a ☌_o with_o the_o earth_n and_o for_o demonstration_n view_v the_o five_o diagram_n where_o you_o will_v see_v saturn_n in_o perigaeon_n or_o in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o earth_n which_o be_v the_o principal_a cause_n of_o the_o last_o cold_a summer_n i_o can_v bring_v several_a example_n and_o reason_n to_o prove_v my_o assertion_n two_o or_o three_o instance_n we_o have_v have_v in_o our_o late_a cold_a summer_n which_o be_v always_o cold_a when_o saturn_n be_v in_o perigaeon_n mars_n all_o agree_v to_o be_v hot_a dry_a and_o burn_v yea_o hot_a than_o the_o sun_n himself_o which_o seem_v a_o contradiction_n that_o a_o reflect_a light_n shall_v be_v hot_a than_o the_o fountain_n from_o whence_o it_o proceed_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o may_v be_v by_o accident_n as_o for_o instance_n the_o reflex_n burn_v glass_n which_o receive_v the_o sun_n ray_n and_o contract_v and_o unite_n they_o they_o become_v hot_a than_o the_o sun_n ray_n and_o be_v dart_v upon_o any_o combustible_a matter_n it_o set_v it_o on_o fire_n and_o such_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o mars_n who_o when_o in_o perigaeon_n or_o near_o the_o earth_n do_v make_v we_o sensible_a of_o his_o heat_n view_v the_o six_o diagram_n where_o mars_n be_v in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o earth_n which_o at_o the_o same_o time_n cause_v a_o very_a warm_a season_n and_o now_o i_o come_v to_o jupiter_n concern_v who_o there_o have_v be_v much_o controversy_n ptolemy_n make_v he_o warm_a and_o dr._n goad_n contrary_o make_v he_o a_o cold_a planet_n and_o give_v very_o probable_a argument_n to_o prove_v his_o assertion_n how_o shall_v i_o reconcile_v these_o two_o opinion_n for_o they_o both_o plead_v reason_n and_o experience_n for_o their_o so_o do_v ptolemy_n think_v he_o warm_a because_o when_o simple_o in_o opposition_n with_o the_o sun_n he_o produce_v a_o warm_a season_n and_o when_o join_v with_o mars_n he_o often_o produce_v great_a heat_n and_o thunder_n and_o dr._n goad_n make_v he_o a_o cold_a planet_n because_o that_o when_o join_v with_o saturn_n he_o augment_v cold_a yea_o and_o in_o winter_n when_o join_v with_o mars_n he_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o many_o hard_a frost_n he_o be_v the_o parent_n of_o the_o north_n wind_n and_o serenity_n both_o great_a friend_n to_o a_o cold_a constitution_n with_o many_o more_o reason_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n now_o my_o opinion_n of_o jupiter_n be_v that_o he_o be_v a_o planet_n compose_v of_o nitrous_a particle_n which_o like_o gunpowder_n or_o nitre_n when_o it_o meet_v with_o cold_a it_o actuate_v it_o and_o when_o it_o meet_v with_o fire_n or_o heat_n it_o actuate_v that_o and_o break_v forth_o into_o combustion_n jupiter_n be_v a_o planet_n full_a of_o nitre_n do_v as_o the_o cartesian_o say_v six_z the_o particle_n of_o the_o atmosphere_n thereby_o stop_v or_o hinder_v motion_n and_o then_o cold_a follow_v of_o course_n which_o be_v a_o essential_a quality_n and_o be_v in_o be_v before_o the_o world_n be_v create_v for_o in_o the_o begin_n this_o vortex_n be_v a_o chaos_n or_o confuse_a lump_n the_o air_n earth_n and_o water_n be_v congeal_v or_o mix_v together_o but_o when_o god_n create_v the_o sun_n moon_n and_o planet_n by_o put_v they_o in_o motion_n this_o motion_n be_v the_o original_a of_o heat_n as_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o the_o violent_a motion_n of_o any_o thing_n as_o suppose_v a_o mill_n which_o will_v cause_v heat_n to_o that_o degree_n that_o she_o will_v fire_v if_o not_o prevent_v now_o when_o this_o motion_n be_v hinder_v by_o the_o nitrous_a particle_n of_o jupiter_n then_o cold_a the_o prime_a quality_n take_v place_n as_o be_v prove_v by_o mix_v of_o salt_n or_o nitre_n with_o snow_n it_o will_v freeze_v and_o cause_n ice_n by_o the_o fireside_n but_o if_o this_o nitre_n or_o gunpowder_n be_v join_v with_o hot_a and_o sulphurous_a planet_n than_o it_o cause_v combustion_n in_o the_o atmosphere_n as_o heat_n with_o thunder_n and_o coruscation_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o i_o define_v jupiter_n to_o be_v of_o a_o nitrosulphurious_a nature_n like_v to_o gunpowder_n and_o be_v either_o hot_a or_o cold_a by_o accident_n but_o rather_o a_o favourer_n of_o cold_a if_o simple_o consider_v which_o aforesaid_a definition_n i_o shall_v prove_v by_o example_n the_o nature_n of_o the_o sun_n need_v no_o definition_n it_o be_v vulgar_o know_v to_o every_o plowboy_n all_o the_o world_n be_v sensible_a of_o his_o warmth_n nothing_o be_v hide_v from_o the_o heat_n thereof_o but_o as_o for_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o inferior_n viz._n venus_n mercury_n and_o the_o moon_n i_o shall_v at_o present_a rest_n with_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o ancient_n for_o brevity-sake_n they_o not_o have_v so_o great_a influence_n in_o the_o general_a constitution_n of_o the_o season_n but_o it_o may_v be_v expect_v in_o some_o succeed_a book_n where_o i_o treat_v of_o the_o daily_a vicissitude_n of_o the_o air_n and_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o
