that_o the_o more_o word_n we_o use_v in_o prayer_n the_o worse_o they_o be_v accept_v for_o i_o think_v a_o silent_a adoration_n be_v better_o accept_v of_o god_n than_o a_o self-conceited_a babble_v

to_o that_o degree_n as_o to_o be_v a_o deity_n or_o so_o divine_a as_o to_o be_v above_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n i_o say_v no_o for_o put_v the_o case_n man_n can_v turn_v brass_n or_o iron_n or_o

of_o other_o howsoever_o the_o action_n of_o this_o lord_n and_o lady_n show_v that_o their_o birth_n be_v better_a than_o their_o breed_n or_o that_o fortune_n have_v favour_v they_o more_o with_o

one_o creature_n have_v upon_o another_o or_o several_a creature_n upon_o one_o or_o one_o upon_o more_o for_o though_o the_o body_n humour_n constitution_n and_o mind_n of_o man_n be_v subject_a to_o

have_v not_o power_n over_o law_n custom_n and_o education_n which_o be_v more_o firm_o settle_a than_o to_o be_v alter_v by_o the_o various_a effect_n of_o the_o star_n and_o planet_n which_o law_n

for_o if_o they_o be_v constant_a in_o their_o effect_n there_o will_v be_v no_o change_n or_o alteration_n and_o if_o they_o have_v a_o absolute_a power_n over_o the_o rest_n of_o nature_n work_n as_o many_o think_v or_o as_o other_o say_v only_o over_o mankind_n their_o cross_a effect_n or_o influence_n will_v make_v such_o a_o confusion_n as_o it_o will_v make_v a_o utter_a destruction_n of_o that_o they_o have_v power_n of_o which_o will_v cross_v and_o hinder_v nature_n methodical_a proceed_n and_o certain_a rule_n and_o decree_n by_o which_o she_o govern_v unless_o you_o will_v say_v the_o star_n or_o planet_n be_v the_o fate_n and_o destiny_n to_o all_o mankind_n if_o so_o there_o need_v no_o education_n law_n or_o justice_n but_o the_o star_n and_o planet_n be_v too_o

there_o be_v more_o assurance_n in_o the_o education_n and_o custom_n of_o man_n and_o custom_n and_o education_n have_v strong_a effect_n for_o custom_n and_o education_n can_v alter_v the_o

of_o the_o body_n and_o can_v restrain_v the_o unsatiable_a appetite_n of_o the_o body_n and_o sense_n and_o long_a custom_n alter_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n beside_o healthful_a and_o strong_a

planet_n have_v no_o power_n over_o the_o fortune_n nor_o over_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n but_o over_o the_o body_n of_o man_n than_o the_o influence_n the_o soul_n have_v on_o the_o body_n will_v

perpetual_o torture_v and_o the_o mind_n disquiet_v and_o if_o the_o planet_n have_v a_o influence_n over_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n than_o we_o will_v be_v good_a and_o bad_a wicked_a and_o pious_a

according_a to_o interest_n strength_n and_o potency_n and_o so_o from_o one_o man_n to_o another_o according_a to_o interest_n power_n and_o authority_n than_o the_o star_n and_o planet_n have_v on_o several_a nation_n and_o several_a and_o particular_a man_n which_o produce_v great_a effect_n than_o the_o planet_n effect_n and_o influence_n can_v do_v not_o but_o that_o i_o believe_v the_o
