will_v consider_v careful_o and_o examine_v the_o thing_n that_o though_o the_o aspect_n be_v make_v in_o that_o circle_n they_o move_v in_o yet_o that_o do_v concern_v the_o other_o planet_n be_v direct_v nothing_o at_o all_o for_o every_o star_n that_o be_v direct_v to_o a_o promittor_fw-la whether_o body_n or_o aspect_n meet_v they_o in_o his_o or_o her_o own_o way_n so_o the_o sun_n meet_v all_o body_n and_o aspect_n in_o the_o zodiac_n and_o if_o any_o of_o those_o body_n or_o aspect_n have_v latitude_n from_o the_o ecliptic_a he_o can_v be_v direct_v to_o they_o in_o the_o zodiac_n but_o in_o mundo_fw-la to_o speak_v like_o a_o artist_n because_o he_o always_o move_v in_o that_o circle_n and_o never_o out_o of_o it_o and_o therefore_o when_o morinus_n talk_v of_o direct_v jupiter_n to_o the_o square_n of_o the_o moon_n as_o in_o the_o french_a king_n geniture_n he_o there_o imagine_v a_o motion_n that_o be_v not_o in_o nature_n but_o only_o in_o conceit_n for_o he_o make_v the_o square_n of_o the_o moon_n to_o have_v four_o degree_n and_o a_o half_a south_n almost_o and_o jupiter_n he_o have_v one_o degree_n north_n and_o must_v meet_v that_o square_n in_o his_o own_o way_n that_o he_o move_v in_o not_o with_o four_o south_n but_o one_o north_n but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o direction_n in_o nature_n as_o that_o with_o 4_o degree_n of_o latitude_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v wrought_v in_o the_o zodiac_n but_o in_o mundo_fw-la and_o indeed_o no_o other_o way_n will_v do_v it_o but_o when_o he_o talk_v of_o direct_v the_o ascendent_n to_o the_o aspect_n with_o latitude_n he_o quite_o forget_v himself_o as_o in_o the_o queen_n of_o poland_n case_n where_o he_o direct_v the_o ascendent_n to_o the_o square_n of_o the_o moon_n with_o 4_o degree_n odd_a minute_n of_o north_n latitude_n when_o the_o angles_n to_o say_v truth_n meet_v no_o ray_n with_o latitude_n but_o body_n and_o opposition_n all_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o beam_n be_v measure_v by_o the_o distance_n of_o that_o body_n from_o the_o angles_n and_o not_o in_o the_o zodiac_n as_o some_o fond_o conceit_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v rely_v on_o in_o point_n of_o truth_n but_o all_o that_o i_o shall_v say_v of_o that_o be_v it_o be_v a_o neat_a project_n and_o conception_n and_o well_o manage_v but_o no_o service_n to_o the_o student_n and_o upon_o this_o project_n be_v that_o of_o correct_v the_o aspect_n form_v page_n 550._o which_o i_o shall_v pass_v by_o as_o a_o thing_n of_o little_a or_o no_o use_n except_o to_o increase_v toil_n and_o trouble_v to_o the_o young_a beginner_n but_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n of_o morinus_n he_o have_v in_o this_o sixteen_o book_n outdo_v all_o that_o go_v before_o in_o antistion_n for_o he_o have_v there_o teach_v the_o true_a way_n of_o take_v they_o which_o be_v with_o latitude_n because_o they_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o parallel_a distance_n from_o the_o tropic_n and_o the_o equator_fw-la and_o whoever_o take_v they_o that_o way_n and_o know_v how_o to_o use_v they_o when_o he_o have_v get_v they_o will_v not_o lose_v his_o labour_n and_o though_o they_o have_v be_v of_o
