A45203	Demonstration of astrology, or, A brief discourse, proving the influence of the sun, moon, stars, over this terraqueous globe grounded on the fundamental rules of the Copernican system and philosophy, and verified by practical examples and experience : illustrated by diagrams : whereby the art is rendered almost mathematically demonstrable : to which is added, an astrological and philosophical appendix, or second part, treating of this summer's effects, both in the macrocosm as well as microcosm : wherein we have great cause to fear, that the sword, pestilence, and famine will annoy our European territories this ensuing summer / by William Hunt, a lover of the mathematics and natural philosophy.

when_o simple_o in_o opposition_n with_o the_o sun_n he_o produce_v a_o warm_a season_n and_o when_o join_v with_o mars_n he_o often_o produce_v great_a heat_n and_o thunder_n and_o dr._n goad_n make_v he_o a_o cold_a planet_n because_o that_o when_o join_v with_o saturn_n he_o augment_v cold_a yea_o and_o in_o winter_n when_o join_v with_o mars_n he_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o many_o hard_a

when_o it_o meet_v with_o fire_n or_o heat_n it_o actuate_v that_o and_o break_v forth_o into_o combustion_n jupiter_n be_v a_o planet_n full_a of_o nitre_n do_v as_o the_o cartesian_o say_v six_z the_o particle_n of_o the_o atmosphere_n thereby_o stop_v or_o hinder_v motion_n and_o then_o cold_a follow_v of_o course_n which_o be_v a_o essential_a quality_n and_o be_v in_o be_v before_o the_o

the_o sun_n moon_n and_o planet_n by_o put_v they_o in_o motion_n this_o motion_n be_v the_o original_a of_o heat_n as_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o the_o violent_a motion_n of_o any_o thing_n as_o suppose_v a_o mill_n which_o will_v cause_v heat_n to_o that_o degree_n that_o she_o will_v fire_v if_o not_o prevent_v now_o when_o this_o motion_n be_v hinder_v by_o the_o nitrous_a particle_n of_o

if_o this_o nitre_n or_o gunpowder_n be_v join_v with_o hot_a and_o sulphurous_a planet_n than_o it_o cause_v combustion_n in_o the_o atmosphere_n as_o heat_n with_o thunder_n and_o coruscation_n
