that_o the_o devil_n be_v never_o ignorant_a how_o that_o both_o the_o wise_a and_o simple_a observe_v when_o the_o sea-bird_n forsake_v the_o shore_n and_o fly_v unto_o the_o land_n that_o then_o some_o great_a storm_n common_o follow_v that_o the_o high_a fly_v of_o the_o kite_n and_o swallow_n betoken_v fair_a weather_n that_o the_o cry_n of_o crow_n and_o bathe_v of_o duck_n foreshow_v

therefore_o in_o scripture_n to_o mark_v the_o fly_n of_o fowl_n as_o sign_n of_o good_a or_o evil_a success_n have_v no_o reference_n at_o all_o to_o the_o cry_n of_o crow_n against_o rain_n or_o

which_o a_o wise_a man_n may_v attain_v and_o seek_v after_o without_o any_o offence_n to_o god_n or_o harm_n to_o piety_n and_o true_a religion_n for_o though_o superstitious_a and_o diabolical_a
