only_o a_o imaginary_a be_v in_o form_n and_o shape_n therefore_o they_o can_v be_v appropriate_v to_o the_o particular_a member_n of_o man_n body_n because_o the_o body_n of_o man_n have_v a_o

my_o purpose_n i_o have_v declare_v a_o little_a afore_o that_o the_o great_a and_o strong_a argument_n that_o be_v set_v forth_o by_o the_o astrologer_n for_o to_o prove_v the_o legality_n of_o astrology_n by_o be_v this_o viz._n the_o event_n fall_v out_o to_o be_v according_a to_o the_o prediction_n now_o that_o this_o be_v the_o best_a art_n the_o great_a argument_n the_o astrologer_n have_v to_o prove_v the_o legality_n of_o their_o art_n and_o strong_a of_o all_o the_o argument_n which_o the_o astrologer_n can_v bring_v and_o produce_v to_o warrant_v the_o legality_n of_o their_o say_a art_n of_o judicial_a astrology_n by_o i_o say_v it_o be_v evident_o to_o be_v see_v that_o this_o be_v their_o great_a and_o strong_a argument_n as_o it_o do_v plain_o appear_v by_o their_o own_o word_n and_o confession_n write_v by_o themselves_o in_o their_o own_o book_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v i_o will_v here_o again_o manifest_o prove_v although_o the_o same_o be_v elsewhere_o by_o i_o do_v 195._o sir_n christopher_n heydon_n in_o his_o defence_n of_o astrology_n fol_z 195._o but_o to_o begin_v i_o think_v it_o be_v my_o best_a way_n to_o set_v their_o champion_n in_o the_o first_o place_n because_o if_o any_o man_n question_v with_o our_o astrologer_n about_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o their_o art_n they_o in_o all_o the_o haste_n and_o speed_n as_o may_v possible_a be_v do_v send_v he_o unto_o their_o champion_n sir_n christopher_n heydon_n defence_n of_o astrology_n where_o he_o may_v have_v a_o full_a resolution_n of_o all_o his_o question_n and_o doubt_n which_o he_o have_v ag_fw-mi inst_z astrology_n but_o now_o see_v we_o be_v in_o a_o dispute_n about_o the_o argument_n that_o the_o astrologer_n do_v common_o bring_v to_o prove_v their_o art_n of_o astrology_n a_o lawful_a art_n now_o then_o see_v sir_n christopher_n be_v the_o chief_a of_o our_o astrologer_n and_o unto_o he_o they_o send_v all_o that_o gainsay_v their_o art_n therefore_o let_v we_o hear_v what_o he_o can_v say_v for_o astrology_n 195._o heydon_n 195._o now_o what_o he_o say_v make_v he_o believe_v astrology_n to_o be_v a_o lawful_a art_n be_v only_o because_o he_o have_v see_v the_o event_n fall_v out_o true_a according_a to_o the_o prediction_n as_o it_o do_v plain_o appear_v by_o his_o own_o word_n which_o be_v as_o follow_v in_o the_o 195_o page_n of_o his_o

argument_n be_v whereby_o he_o can_v prove_v astrology_n a_o lawful_a and_o a_o mighty_a powerful_a art_n now_o if_o this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a warrant_n to_o make_v a_o man_n confident_a in_o the_o

plead_v the_o validity_n of_o astrology_n by_o be_v this_o because_o they_o see_v their_o prediction_n fall_v out_o true_a again_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v as_o i_o say_v before_o that_o this_o argument_n do_v prove_v astrology_n no_o more_o to_o be_v a_o lawful_a art_n than_o it_o do_v prove_v witchcraft_n to_o be_v lawful_a for_o all_o that_o which_o be_v foretell_v unto_o saul_n by_o
