lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o as_o soon_o as_o it_o have_v execute_v the_o office_n that_o it_o be_v ordain_v for_o it_o turn_v again_o to_o that_o matter_n which_o it_o come_v from_o how_o can_v they_o know_v by_o the_o star_n that_o such_o a_o child_n be_v bear_v say_v asterius_n for_o neither_o can_v the_o star_n speak_v to_o they_o neither_o instruct_v they_o in_o such_o matter_n very_a

prophecy_n that_o such_o a_o child_n shall_v be_v bear_v but_o they_o know_v it_o not_o by_o the_o secret_a of_o astronomy_n neither_o may_v they_o know_v the_o time_n of_o his_o birth_n nor_o the_o place_n as_o the_o gospel_n testify_v why_o then_o say_v augustine_n and_o other_o father_n that_o the_o science_n of_o judicial_a astronomy_n and_o knowledge_n of_o child_n birth_n be_v lawful_a until_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n since_o by_o their_o science_n they_o can_v not_o comprehend_v his_o birth_n but_o as_o they_o say_v before_o it_o be_v lawful_a but_o not_o after_o his_o birth_n saint_n augustine_n quoth_v anthony_n say_v not_o that_o the_o study_n be_v lawful_a or_o grant_v to_o be_v do_v neither_o that_o it_o be_v permissible_a to_o trust_v therein_o for_o it_o be_v always_o false_a and_o reprove_v both_o by_o god_n and_o by_o philosopher_n by_o authority_n and_o by_o reason_n but_o he_o say_v that_o the_o science_n and_o cunning_n be_v grant_v by_o god_n and_o hold_v lawful_a not_o the_o practic_a of_o the_o science_n man_n may_v like_v wise_a reprove_v the_o knowledge_n and_o learner_n thereof_o and_o show_v by_o their_o own_o principle_n and_o ground_n that_o it_o be_v a_o feign_a and_o uncertain_a study_n final_o that_o the_o science_n be_v proper_o no_o science_n but_o a_o open_a folly_n as_o it_o well_o appear_v in_o christ_n birth_n and_o because_o in_o his_o birth_n it_o be_v so_o apparent_o disprove_v therefore_o after_o his_o birth_n it_o be_v neither_o lawful_a to_o know_v it_o reasonable_a to_o use_v it_o but_o only_a wisdom_n to_o reprove_v the_o folly_n of_o they_o that_o practise_v it_o astrology_n likewise_o as_o the_o schoolman_n say_v be_v both_o unlawful_a before_o christ_n birth_n and_o after_o but_o the_o knowledge_n be_v suffer_v both_o before_o and_o after_o to_o reprove_v man_n in_o his_o folly_n and_o the_o folly_n of_o menthat_o practice_v it_o where_o find_v you_o that_o god_n defend_v and_o forbid_v judicial_a astronomy_n before_o and_o after_o christ_n birth_n quoth_v metrodorus_n in_o the_o first_o precept_n of_o the_o first_o table_n say_v anthony_n where_o he_o forbid_v that_o man_n shall_v make_v they_o any_o likeness_n of_o that_o which_o be_v in_o heaven_n but_o astronomer_n as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v make_v themselves_o like_a to_o god_n in_o heaven_n by_o reason_n they_o ascribe_v to_o themselves_o that_o which_o belong_v to_o god_n and_o therefore_o god_n reprove_v they_o and_o say_v unto_o they_o nuntiate_a quae_fw-la ventura_fw-la sunt_fw-la in_o

gréevous_o against_o the_o first_o commandment_n for_o they_o make_v themselves_o like_a unto_o god_n in_o heaven_n and_o that_o worship_n which_o only_o belong_v to_o god_n they_o take_v to_o themselves_o and_o for_o such_o presumption_n and_o pride_n angel_n kind_a be_v destroy_v and_o mankind_n also_o for_o as_o we_o read_v esai_n 11_o lucifer_n say_v in_o his_o heart_n that_o he_o will_v ascend_v the_o high_a heaven_n and_o plant_v his_o seat_n above_o the_o star_n and_o sit_v in_o the_o mount_n of_o the_o testament_n &_o that_o he_o will_v mount_v up_o above_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o sky_n excee_v all_o angel_n and_o be_v like_o he_o that_o be_v high_a but_o sudden_o he_o fall_v into_o hell_n and_o so_o shall_v all_o false_a astronomer_n and_o astrologer_n do_v except_o they_o amend_v they_o for_o they_o fix_v their_o wit_n firm_a their_o study_n and_o plant_v their_o faith_n so_o much_o on_o the_o star_n that_o they_o pass_v the_o star_n and_o be_v like_a to_o god_n in_o their_o consideration_n who_o be_v most_o high_a they_o will_v likewise_o sit_v in_o the_o mount_n of_o the_o testament_n for_o they_o will_v be_v against_o god_n law_n and_o prefer_v their_o

religion_n god_n law_n be_v void_a ecclesiastical_a vain_a law_n of_o country_n judgement_n and_o reason_n shall_v whole_o be_v unnessarie_a for_o no_o man_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v punish_v for_o

and_o all_o mankind_n for_o when_o the_o fiend_n tell_v they_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o god_n know_v good_a and_o evil_a they_o consent_v to_o he_o and_o eat_v of_o the_o apple_n contrary_a to_o god_n

of_o nature_n as_o likewise_o because_o celestial_a influence_n be_v very_o available_a and_o active_a in_o natural_a effect_n hence_o in_o plant_v and_o husband_v in_o physic_n and_o cure_v and_o such_o like_a the_o observation_n and_o consideration_n of_o the_o motion_n and_o course_n of_o both_o sun_n and_o moon_n be_v very_o necessary_a and_o devil_n because_o they_o be_v expert_a and_o
