A37977	Cometomantia, A discourse of comets shewing their original, substance, place, time, magnitude, motion, number, colour, figure, kinds, names, and more especially, their prognosticks, significations and presages ... : where also is inserted an essay of judiciary astrology, giving satisfaction to this grand question, whether any certain judgments and predictions concerning future events, can be made from the observation of the heavenly bodies : both occasioned by the appearance of the late comets in England and other places.	Edwards, John, 1637-1716.	1684 (1684)	Wing E199; ESTC R1452	91,449	318

shine_v in_o the_o close_a of_o this_o great_a monarch_n reign_n upon_o the_o rise_n of_o which_o new_a light_n in_o the_o heaven_n he_o ask_v what_o it_o foretell_v imagine_v what_o indeed_o happen_v
