A86498	Dæmonologie, and theologie The first, the malady, demonstrating the diabolicall arts, and devillish hearts of men. The second, the remedy: demonstrating, God a rich supply of all good.

because_o we_o can_v see_v the_o heel_n of_o the_o lesser_a northern_a bear_n adjacent_a to_o the_o north_n pole_n to_o be_v downward_o towards_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o evening_n and_o to_o be_v

reason_n bring_v to_o prove_v they_o from_o the_o two_o other_o motion_n of_o the_o eight_o heaven_n of_o fix_a star_n beside_o that_o from_o east_n to_o west_n in_o twenty_o four_o hour_n as_o that_o the_o eight_o heaven_n of_o fix_a star_n move_v from_o west_n to_o east_n come_v to_o be_v in_o the_o same_o posture_n as_o when_o they_o begin_v that_o motion_n by_o the_o end_n of_o forty_o nine_o thousand_o year_n and_o that_o the_o same_o eight_o heaven_n have_v another_o motion_n from_o south_n to_o north_n and_o thence_o to_o south_n again_o which_o process_n and_o recess_n be_v a_o finish_v seven_o thousand_o year_n and_o therefore_o that_o that_o motion_n of_o the_o eight_o heaven_n from_o east_n to_o west_n in_o twenty_o four_o hour_n must_v needs_o be_v violent_a as_o force_v from_o some_o ten_o heaven_n natural_o so_o move_v and_o that_o from_o west_n to_o east_n in_o forty_o nine_o thousand_o year_n must_v be_v also_o violent_a as_o force_v from_o some_o nine_o heaven_n natural_o so_o move_v and_o the_o last_o motion_n of_o the_o eight_o heaven_n viz._n from_o south_n to_o north_n and_o back_n again_o in_o seven_o thousand_o year_n to_o be_v the_o natural_a peculiar_a innate_a motion_n of_o that_o eight_o heaven_n see_v that_o as_o they_o form_v the_o argument_n one_o simple_a single_a movable_a body_n can_v have_v but_o one_o natural_a motion_n i_o say_v this_o argument_n do_v not_o evince_v my_o reason_n in_o the_o least_o to_o believe_v the_o existence_n and_o be_v of_o a_o nine_o and_o ten_o heaven_n for_o god_n that_o by_o his_o word_n at_o

to_o linger_v and_o slinck_fw-mi back_o every_o day_n a_o little_a from_o west_n to_o east_n as_o suppose_v with_o the_o astronomer_n as_o much_o as_o come_v to_o one_o degree_n or_o sixty_o mile_n in_o a_o hundred_o year_n which_o be_v about_o three_o quarter_n of_o a_o mile_n in_o one_o year_n and_o half_a a_o quarter_n and_o also_o to_o roll_n forward_o from_o south_n to_o north_n and_o back_o again_o from_o north_n to_o south_n so_o gradual_o till_o in_o seven_o hundred_o year_n it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v can_v choose_v but_o obey_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n and_o so_o move_v without_o cease_v and_o to_o throw_v away_o tradition_n in_o philosophy_n as_o well_o as_o in_o divinity_n it_o be_v a_o ready_a way_n and_o sure_a to_o say_v god_n command_v the_o heaven_n so_o to_o move_v at_o first_o creation_n and_o they_o obey_v then_o to_o say_v primus_fw-la motor_n god_n move_v the_o angel_n or_o intelligence_n they_o move_v a_o ten_o heaven_n &_o a_o ten_o heaven_n move_v the_o
