that_o be_v to_o render_v themselves_o both_o void_a of_o sense_n and_o reason_n for_o we_o see_v clear_o the_o apostle_n here_o promise_v in_o a_o prophetic_a way_n the_o universal_a preach_n of_o

at_o all_o to_o my_o argument_n for_o i_o be_v to_o let_v my_o reader_n know_v that_o god_n more_o especial_o allow_v of_o the_o study_n and_o contemplation_n of_o his_o heavenly_a creature_n in_o

their_o reply_n prove_v that_o god_n contrary_a to_o what_o i_o have_v allege_v do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o allow_v of_o astrology_n or_o the_o student_n thereof_o by_o this_o his_o show_v of_o comet_n or_o blazing-star_n and_o that_o this_o my_o argument_n conduce_v not_o to_o the_o validity_n of_o the_o art_n or_o artist_n and_o not_o to_o come_v off_o so_o blew_o to_o argue_v on_o what_o be_v never_o affirm_v but_o poor_a man_n they_o be_v to_o be_v excuse_v come_v once_o to_o talk_v to_o they_o of_o comet_n and_o blazing-star_n and_o you_o put_v they_o quite_o out_o of_o their_o
