at_o first_o sight_n it_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v for_o first_o the_o natural_a astrology_n when_o it_o keep_v itself_o within_o its_o due_a bound_n he_o very_o hearty_o allow_v we_o lawful_a and_o

another_o and_o by_o virtue_n of_o these_o inquiry_n to_o be_v able_a to_o predict_v the_o red_a evening_n itself_o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o to_o be_v able_a also_o to_o say_v when_o it_o shall_v be_v fair_a without_o a_o red_a evening_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o to_o go_v far_o still_o and_o to_o be_v able_a to_o predict_v yet_o more_o and_o more_o production_n of_o nature_n will_v any_o man_n be_v so_o malicious_o mad_a as_o to_o say_v the_o first_o only_o shall_v be_v lawful_a and_o the_o rest_n sinful_a and_o wicked_a although_o all_o come_v from_o the_o very_a same_o observation_n

do_v assent_v that_o satan_n be_v apt_a enough_o to_o beguile_v the_o simple_a and_o ignorant_a both_o these_o forename_a way_n and_o true_a it_o be_v that_o diabolical_a practice_n such_o as_o charm_n and_o spell_n want_v not_o for_o experimental_a assurance_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o their_o effect_n as_o well_o as_o natural_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o devil_n skilful_a art_n to_o bring_v they_o about_o but_o then_o again_o whosoever_o have_v the_o true_a and_o save_a knowledge_n of_o god_n word_n in_o his_o head_n and_o the_o savour_n of_o as_o true_a piety_n in_o his_o heart_n can_v very_o apt_o and_o easy_o distinguish_v between_o natural_a and_o diabolical_a experiment_n and_o by_o every_o of_o these_o we_o be_v sure_a that_o our_o astrological_a experiment_n be_v safe_a enough_o from_o any_o kind_n of_o diabolical_a help_n but_o as_o for_o the_o second_o misbrand_v principle_n undoubted_o it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a truth_n that_o there_o be_v hide_a cause_n in_o nature_n for_o the_o produce_v of_o such_o effect_n which_o we_o know_v not_o nor_o can_v give_v a_o reason_n of_o their_o operation_n which_o yet_o we_o do_v and_o doubt_v not_o but_o we_o may_v lawful_o make_v use_n of_o without_o any_o the_o least_o scruple_n and_o under_o this_o same_o head_n although_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n why_o all_o those_o charm_a practise_v by_o the_o holy_a father_n reckon_v up_o shall_v not_o be_v range_v yet_o be_v there_o as_o much_o reason_n why_o our_o astrological_a practice_n shall_v be_v so_o range_v under_o this_o head_n and_o perhaps_o some_o few_o other_o which_o i_o have_v except_v from_o the_o rest_n now_o this_o holy_a father_n to_o distinguish_v himself_o between_o a_o holy_a care_n to_o defend_v and_o keep_v harmless_a and_o well_o mean_v people_n from_o the_o snare_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o a_o heady_a and_o violent_a envy_n at_o any_o doubtful_a practice_n do_v grant_v that_o there_o be_v indeed_o deep_a secret_n in_o nature_n who_o bottom_n we_o can_v dive_v into_o as_o those_o wonder_n of_o the_o loadstone_n for_o one_o who_o force_n approach_v near_o to_o a_o miracle_n now_o such_o a_o ingenious_a and_o

must_v necessary_o be_v bend_v somewhat_o the_o contrary_a way_n and_o so_o to_o avoid_v the_o wile_n of_o the_o devil_n we_o do_v acknowledge_v it_o no_o fault_n if_o a_o man_n rather_o than_o fail_v do_v a_o little_a enter_v caution_n against_o lawful_a thing_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v where_o a_o man_n be_v not_o fence_v with_o the_o more_o grace_n it_o be_v good_a council_n to_o he_o to_o

that_o ever_o this_o holy_a father_n intend_v against_o astrology_n for_o do_v but_o observe_v how_o he_o distinguish_v himself_o though_o there_o be_v such_o secret_n in_o nature_n which_o we_o know_v not_o how_o she_o work_v yet_o we_o know_v there_o be_v work_n which_o be_v well_o know_v that_o she_o can_v do_v but_o this_o can_v be_v apply_v unto_o our_o natural_a astrology_n who_o work_n we_o have_v good_a assurance_n of_o that_o they_o be_v perfect_o natural_a how_o far_o her_o power_n can_v extend_v he_o say_v be_v not_o hard_a to_o determine_v and_o those_o work_n which_o be_v beyond_o this_o we_o know_v whether_o to_o ascribe_v that_o be_v to_o the_o devil_n and_o so_o say_v we_o but_o than_o refer_v he_o to_o the_o forementioned_a particular_n of_o all_o which_o he_o deliver_v his_o holy_a and_o cautionary_a thought_n to_o beware_v and_o so_o say_v we_o too_o among_o these_o indeed_o be_v astrology_n in_o the_o range_n but_o than_o first_o it_o be_v not_o

then_o to_o venture_v upon_o the_o uncertainty_n for_o so_o he_o conclude_v let_v it_o be_v therefore_o the_o care_n and_o wisdom_n of_o christian_n to_o look_v upon_o what_o ground_n they_o go_v

and_o wonder_n of_o nature_n where_o every_o action_n of_o the_o heaven_n be_v equal_a to_o the_o miracle_n of_o loadstone_n so_o let_v i_o study_v and_o practise_v it_o as_o the_o more_o i_o behold_v
