possible_a wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o good_a reason_n that_o the_o civil_a law_n do_v so_o sore_o condemn_v the_o mathematician_n etc._n let_v no_o man_n consult_v a_o sothsayer_n or_o

the_o gospel_n in_o a_o good_a conscience_n for_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v a_o good_a defence_n to_o defend_v we_o from_o all_o error_n so_o that_o we_o have_v first_o this_o general_a rule_n to_o sanctify_v our_o body_n &_o our_o soul_n to_o god_n &_o to_o serve_v he_o unfeigned_o and_o afterward_o that_o every_o one_o look_v whereto_o he_o be_v call_v to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v apply_v himself_o to_o that_o which_o it_o become_v he_o to_o do_v that_o learned_a man_n do_v geve_v themselves_o to_o good_a and_o profitable_a study_n and_o not_o to_o foolish_a curiosity_n which_o serve_v for_o none_o other_o end_n then_o to_o make_v fool_n to_o muse_v at_o they_o that_o little_a &_o great_a learned_a &_o unlearned_a may_v think_v that_o we_o be_v not_o bear_v to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v occupy_v ourselves_o about_o unprofitable_a thing_n but_o that_o the_o end_n of_o our_o exercise_n ought_v to_o edify_v both_o ourselves_o and_o other_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o sure_o when_o one_o shall_v well_o mark_v the_o matter_n who_o be_v they_o that_o bring_v we_o this_o erroneous_a and_o false_a astrologye_n save_v only_o either_o proud_a parson_n or_o spirit_n that_o be_v never_o content_a or_o idle_a person_n which_o know_v not_o of_o what_o they_o shall_v talk_v or_o in_o what_o they_o shall_v have_v their_o pastime_n such_o as_o be_v the_o clerk_n &_o secretary_n of_o lady_n &_o other_o fine_a &_o denty_n minion_n of_o the_o court_n not_o that_o they_o be_v cunning_a in_o this_o art_n if_o there_o may_v be_v any_o cunning_n in_o madness_n &_o lie_n but_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o they_o light_o to_o have_v touch_v it_o and_o to_o have_v be_v busy_a about_o it_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n they_o entangle_v &_o wrap_v many_o poor_a soul_n in_o their_o deceit_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n wherefore_o i_o say_v that_o we_o must_v occupy_v ourselves_o in_o more_o profitable_a thing_n for_o who_o soever_o shall_v give_v himself_o to_o fear_n god_n &_o will_v study_v to_o know_v what_o be_v his_o will_n exercise_v himself_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o that_o which_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v teach_v we_o &_o second_o shall_v apply_v his_o whoole_n mind_n to_o that_o which_o appertain_v to_o his_o vocation_n or_o at_o the_o jest_n to_o good_a and_o profitable_a thing_n shall_v have_v no_o leaser_n to_o fly_v into_o the_o air_n to_o the_o intent_n he_o may_v go_v hither_o and_o thither_o in_o the_o cloud_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o neither_o touch_n heaven_n nor_o earth_n i_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o they_o will_v not_o fail_v to_o use_v this_o cavillation_n for_o they_o will_v say_v that_o the_o one_o do_v not_o hinder_v the_o other_o to_o the_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o no_o good_a science_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n nor_o yet_o to_o the_o doctrine_n which_o he_o give_v we_o to_o bring_v we_o in_o to_o everlasting_a life_n so_o that_o we_o do_v not_o put_v the_o cart_n before_o the_o horse_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o we_o have_v this_o wisdom_n that_o we_o use_v these_o art_n to_o serve_v we_o whether_o they_o be_v liberal_a or_o handycrafte_n while_o we_o pass_v through_o this_o world_n to_o haste_v continual_o towards_o the_o heavenly_a kingdom_n but_o here_o we_o have_v speak_v &_o treat_v of_o a_o curiosity_n not_o only_o superfluous_a and_o unprofitable_a but_o also_o evil_a &_o wicked_a seinge_v it_o do_v drive_v we_o away_o both_o from_o the_o trust_n and_o confidence_n that_o we_o
