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

not_o only_o show_v that_o he_o be_v a_o profaine_a man_n but_o also_o do_v open_o renounce_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o christian_n therefore_o we_o must_v limit_v the_o force_n of_o the_o star_n by_o that_o which_o concern_v the_o world_n and_o do_v apperteine_a to_o the_o body_n and_o be_v one_o of_o the_o first_o inclination_n of_o nature_n except_v nevertheless_o the_o special_a gift_n that_o

that_o shall_v fall_v upon_o they_o aftrwarde_o of_o other_o occasion_n so_o now_o though_o that_o a_o birth_n reader_n can_v judge_v a_o man_n to_o be_v pain_n full_a and_o dilygent_a to_o gather_v
