whether_o the_o star_n be_v natural_a cause_n of_o those_o event_n which_o the_o astrologer_n presume_v to_o foretell_v for_o these_o man_n meddle_v only_o with_o man_n action_n if_o astrology_n

of_o curious_a and_o impious_a sleight_n and_o vanity_n let_v philosopher_n judge_v of_o these_o principle_n that_o a_o sextile_n and_o trine_n aspect_n be_v fortunate_a but_o a_o quadrate_n
