the_o heaven_n as_o well_o stellare_n as_o jnter-stellare_a so_o of_o the_o swiftness_n and_o slowness_n of_o heavenly_a body_n refer_v one_o to_o another_o also_o of_o the_o various_a incitation_n

any_o other_o so_o of_o the_o alligation_n of_o some_o planet_n at_o a_o certain_a distance_n from_o the_o sun_n i_o say_v a_o inquiry_n of_o this_o kind_n have_v scarce_o be_v attempt_v save_v that_o some_o labour_n have_v be_v take_v therein_o only_o in_o mathematical_a observation_n and_o demonstration_n but_o these_o observation_n only_o show_v how_o witty_o all_o these_o motion_n may_v be_v contrive_v and_o clear_v from_o opposition_n not_o how_o they_o may_v true_o subsist_v in_o nature_n and_o represent_v only_o seem_v motion_n and_o their_o fictitious_a fabric_n and_o frame_v at_o pleasure_n not_o their_o cause_n and_o the_o real_a truth_n of_o thing_n wherefore_o astronomy_n such_o as_o now_o it_o be_v make_v may_v well_o be_v count_v in_o the_o number_n of_o mathematical_a

principal_a of_o natural_a philosophy_n for_o who_o ever_o shall_v reject_v the_o feign_a divorce_n of_o superlunary_a and_o sublunary_a body_n and_o shall_v intentive_o observe_v the_o appetency_n of_o matter_n and_o the_o most_o universal_a passion_n which_o in_o either_o globe_n be_v exceed_o potent_a and_o transverberate_v the_o universal_a nature_n of_o thing_n he_o shall_v receive_v clear_a information_n concern_v celestial_a matter_n from_o the_o thing_n see_v here_o with_o we_o and_o contrariwise_o from_o those_o motion_n which_o be_v practise_v in_o heaven_n he_o shall_v learn_v many_o observation_n which_o now_o be_v latent_fw-la touch_v the_o motion_n of_o body_n here_o below_o not_o only_o so_o far_o as_o these_o inferior_a motion_n be_v moderate_v by_o superior_a but_o in_o regard_n they_o have_v a_o mutual_a intercourse_n by_o passion_n common_a to_o they_o both_o wherefore_o this_o part_n of_o astronomy_n which_o be_v natural_a we_o set_v down_o as_o deficient_a and_o this_o we_o will_v call_v live_v astronomy_n ✿_o ✿_o to_o distinguish_v it_o from_o prometheus_n ox_n stuff_v with_o straw_n which_o be_v a_o ox_n in_o outward_a shape_n only_o §_o but_o astrology_n be_v corrupt_v with_o much_o superstition_n so_o as_o there_o be_v hardly_o to_o be_v find_v any_o sound_a part_n therein_o yet_o in_o our_o judgement_n it_o shall_v rather_o be_v purge_v than_o clean_o cast_v away_o but_o if_o any_o contend_v that_o this_o science_n be_v not_o ground_v upon_o reason_n and_o physical_a contemplation_n but_o in_o blind_a experience_n and_o the_o observation_n of_o many_o age_n and_o therefore_o reject_v a_o trial_n by_o natural_a argument_n which_o the_o chaldee_n astrologer_n boast_v he_o may_v by_o the_o same_o reason_n revoke_v augury_n divination_n and_o prediction_n from_o beast_n entrails_n and_o swallow_v down_o all_o kind_n of_o fable_n for_o all_o these_o superstitious_a vanity_n be_v avoucht_v as_o the_o dictate_v of_o long_a experience_n and_o of_o discipline_n deliver_v over_o by_o tradition_n but_o we_o do_v both_o accept_v astrology_n as_o a_o portion_n of_o natural_a philosophy_n and_o yet_o attribute_v unto_o it_o no_o more_o credit_n than_o reason_n and_o the_o evidence_n of_o particular_n do_v evince_n set_v aside_o superstition_n and_o fiction_n and_o that_o we_o may_v a_o little_a more_o serious_o consider_v the_o matter_n §_o first_o what_o a_o vain_a fancy_n be_v this_o that_o every_o planet_n shall_v reign_v for_o certain_a hour_n by_o turn_n so_o as_o in_o the_o space_n of_o twentyfoure_n hour_n they_o shall_v resume_v their_o dominion_n thrice_o over_o three_o supernumerary_a hour_n reserve_v yet_o this_o conceit_n bring_v forth_o unto_o we_o the_o division_n of_o the_o week_n a_o computation_n very_o ancient_a and_o general_o receive_v as_o from_o the_o interchangeable_a course_n of_o day_n most_o manifest_o it_o appear_v when_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o day_n immediate_o succeed_v the_o four_o planet_n from_o the_o planet_n of_o the_o first_o day_n enter_v upon_o his_o government_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o three_o supernumerary_a hour_n whereof_o we_o have_v speak_v §_o again_o we_o be_v confident_a to_o reject_v as_o a_o idle_a fiction_n the_o doctrine_n of_o genethliacal_a positure_n of_o the_o heaven_n to_o precise_a point_n of_o time_n with_o the_o distribution_n of_o the_o house_n those_o same_o darling_n in_o astrology_n which_o have_v make_v such_o mad_a work_n in_o the_o heaven_n nor_o can_v i_o sufficient_o wonder_v that_o many_o excellent_a man_n and_o for_o astrology_n of_o principal_a note_n shall_v ground_v themselves_o upon_o so_o slight_a reason_n to_o avouch_v such_o opinion_n for_o they_o say_v see_v that_o experience_n itself_o discover_v as_o much_o that_o solstice_n aequinoctial_o new_a moon_n full_a moon_n and_o the_o like_o great_a revolution_n of_o star_n do_v manifest_o and_o notable_o work_v upon_o natural_a body_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o more_o exact_a and_o subtle_a aspect_n and_o posture_n of_o the_o star_n shall_v produce_v effect_n more_o exquisite_a and_o occult_a but_o they_o shall_v first_o except_v the_o sun_n operation_n by_o manifest_a heat_n and_o likewise_o the_o magnetic_a influence_n of_o the_o moon_n upon_o the_o increase_n of_o tide_n every_o half_a moon_n for_o the_o daily_a flux_n and_o reflux_n of_o the_o sea_n be_v another_o thing_n but_o these_o set_v aside_o the_o other_o power_n of_o the_o planet_n upon_o natural_a body_n so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v confirm_v by_o experience_n be_v slender_a and_o weak_a and_o which_o they_o shall_v find_v latent_fw-la in_o the_o great_a revolution_n wherefore_o they_o shall_v rather_o argue_v the_o other_o way_n namely_o that_o see_v those_o great_a revolution_n have_v so_o small_a influence_n those_o exact_a and_o minute_n difference_n of_o positure_n have_v no_o force_n at_o all_o §_o three_o those_o fatality_n that_o the_o hour_n of_o nativity_n or_o conception_n govern_v the_o birth_n the_o hour_n of_o inception_n the_o fortune_n of_o the_o thing_n begin_v the_o hour_n of_o question_n the_o fortune_n of_o the_o thing_n inquire_v and_o in_o a_o word_n the_o science_n of_o nativity_n election_n question_n and_o such_o like_a levities_n in_o our_o judgement_n have_v no_o certainty_n or_o solidity_n in_o they_o and_o may_v by_o natural_a reason_n be_v plain_o redargue_v and_o evince_v the_o point_n to_o be_v speak_v of_o rather_o be_v what_o that_o be_v which_o we_o retain_v and_o allow_v of_o in_o astrology_n and_o in_o that_o which_o we_o do_v allow_v what_o be_v deficient_a for_o for_o this_o end_n that_o be_v for_o the_o observation_n of_o deficient_o we_o undertake_v this_o work_n not_o intend_v as_o we_o have_v often_o say_v matter_n of_o censure_n and_o indeed_o among_o the_o receive_a part_n of_o astrology_n the_o doctrine_n of_o revolution_n we_o judge_v to_o have_v more_o soundness_n in_o they_o than_o the_o rest_n but_o it_o may_v be_v to_o good_a purpose_n to_o set_v down_o and_o prescribe_v certain_a rule_n by_o the_o scale_n and_o square_v whereof_o astrological_a observation_n may_v be_v examine_v that_o what_o be_v fruitful_a may_v be_v retain_v what_o be_v frivolous_a reject_v §_o the_o first_o precept_n
