treatise_n to_o supply_v second_o there_o be_v other_o thing_n which_o they_o do_v meet_v with_o in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o ancient_n which_o be_v pure_a riddle_n as_o dark_a as_o night_n which_o our_o astrologaster_n look_v upon_o as_o literal_a truth_n of_o clear_a light_n and_o set_v they_o down_o for_o fundamental_o of_o their_o skill_n as_o for_o example_n the_o erect_n of_o a_o figure_n of_o the_o twelve_o house_n to_o the_o obtain_n of_o the_o foreknowledge_n of_o the_o wether_n and_o here_o reader_n i_o will_v reveal_v one_o secret_a unto_o thou_o which_o in_o the_o book_n of_o astrologer_n thou_o shall_v rare_o find_v that_o the_o erect_n of_o a_o figure_n be_v a_o misty_a cloud_n overca_v the_o light_n of_o starry_a literature_n and_o a_o black_a mask_n over_o vrania_n bright_a face_n debar_v thy_o eye_n from_o see_v her_o true_a beauty_n and_o from_o read_v the_o proper_a meaning_n of_o the_o star_n not_o only_o in_o this_o but_o also_o in_o all_o other_o part_n of_o genuine_a astrology_n it_o be_v true_a that_o learned_a astrologer_n can_v play_v the_o hocus_n in_o blind_a your_o eye_n with_o their_o judgement_n upon_o the_o figure_n whereas_o they_o do_v secret_o ponder_v the_o essential_a dignity_n of_o the_o planet_n but_o to_o other_o they_o speak_v by_o a_o figure_n as_o rhetorician_n do_v wrest_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o house_n which_o be_v only_o accidental_a according_a to_o their_o secret_a knowledge_n of_o the_o essential_a figure_n which_o be_v know_v but_o to_o a_o few_o and_o when_o at_o any_o time_n a_o accidental_a figure_n speak_v truth_n it_o be_v because_o sometime_o the_o rule_n of_o it_o be_v coincident_a as_o a_o blindman_n sometime_o though_o seldom_o hit_v the_o mark_n with_o the_o rule_n of_o pure_a astrology_n but_o in_o particular_a for_o judgement_n upon_o the_o weather_n the_o absurdity_n of_o a_o figure_n may_v clear_o be_v evince_v by_o these_o argument_n 1._o a_o figure_n be_v either_o for_o the_o birth_n of_o a_o body_n at_o a_o certain_a time_n enter_v this_o world_n theatre_n as_o infant_n new_o come_v from_o the_o womb_n who_o the_o constellation_n which_o at_o that_o time_n do_v arise_v make_v a_o impression_n upon_o and_o in_o some_o manner_n do_v stamp_n with_o their_o essential_a figure_n and_o seal_v but_o the_o birth_n of_o a_o year_n or_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o year_n for_o which_o they_o do_v set_v up_o a_o figure_n in_o mar●h_n or_o june_n etc._n etc._n be_v the_o birth_n of_o neither_o body_n spirit_n nor_o substance_n or_o a_o figure_n respect_v some_o action_n of_o mortal_a and_o transitory_a body_n here_o below_o which_o do_v sympathize_v with_o the_o motion_n of_o their_o proper_a and_o significant_a planet_n above_o and_o do_v admit_v of_o a_o direction_n to_o the_o time_n when_o these_o thing_n shall_v come_v to_o pass_v it_o may_v be_v many_o year_n after_o the_o figure_n be_v calculate_v as_o the_o doctrine_n of_o nativity_n can_v tell_v but_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o prognosticate_a the_o season_n for_o suppose_v in_o the_o spring_n quarter_n at_o the_o ingress_n of_o the_o sun_n into_o the_o sign_n of_o aries_n the_o lord_n of_o the_o figure_n be_v a_o hot_a fiery_a planet_n as_o mars_n or_o the_o sun_n and_o so_o do_v portend_v a_o warm_a spring_n yet_o if_o the_o quadrat_n or_o opposition_n of_o the_o two_o cold_a planet_n saturn_n and_o venus_n do_v afterterwards_o occur_v in_o that_o spring_n it_o will_v prove_v quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o figure_n that_o be_v it_o will_v be_v a_o most_o cold_a and_o sharp_a season_n 2._o the_o house_n of_o a_o figure_n be_v for_o parent_n brethren_n marriage_n child_n friend_n enemy_n servant_n trade_n profession_n wealth_n journey_n etc._n etc._n i_o hope_v you_o will_v grant_v i_o that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o weather_n call_v for_o no_o such_o matter_n 3._o let_v there_o be_v a_o figure_n calculate_v for_o paris_n of_o france_n which_o may_v fore-token_n great_a rain_n and_o storm_n at_o the_o same_o time_n let_v another_o figure_n be_v fit_v for_o the_o north_n part_n of_o scotland_n which_o sometime_o do_v appear_v which_o may_v signify_v great_a drought_n yet_o age_a experience_n and_o clear_a reason_n will_v contradict_v those_o figure_n for_o the_o scotch_a season_n will_v prove_v rainy_a but_o the_o french_a air_n will_v be_v much_o more_o dry_a and_o if_o the_o year_n be_v dry_a in_o scotland_n it_o will_v not_o be_v wet_a in_o france_n the_o three_o ground_n of_o mistake_n be_v that_o the_o yearly_a prognosticator_n do_v misapprehend_v the_o very_a first_o principle_n of_o the_o art_n as_o instance_n they_o hold_v that_o jupiter_n raise_v north-wind_n when_o observation_n guard_v with_o reason_n do_v tell_v we_o he_o be_v altogether_o for_o south-wind_n and_o they_o do_v charge_n saturn_n and_o mars_n in_o their_o conjunction_n or_o opposition_n with_o tempestuous_a storm_n whereas_o i_o have_v see_v a_o most_o clear_a and_o calm_a air_n occasion_v by_o their_o aspect_n and_o they_o do_v give_v out_o mercury_n for_o a_o stirrer_n up_o of_o mighty_a wind_n it_o be_v not_o my_o purpose_n to_o fill_v the_o paper_n with_o their_o erroneous_a tenet_n i_o be_o for_o truth_n which_o god_n willing_a shall_v adorn_v these_o sheet_n chap._n ii_o of_o the_o true_a ground_n of_o predict_v the_o wether_n for_o the_o due_a consideration_n of_o meteor-astrology_n which_o be_v the_o skill_n of_o foretell_v by_o the_o star_n hot_a and_o cold_a clear_a and_o dark_a calm_a and_o stormy_a dry_a and_o moist_a
