be_v the_o regard_n of_o time_n the_o which_o regard_v of_o time_n be_v superstition_n and_o idolatry_n astrology_n regard_v or_o observe_v of_o time_n the_o great_a point_n in_o astrology_n now_o in_o this_o place_n i_o will_v manifest_o declare_v that_o which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o first_o and_o chief_a point_n in_o astrology_n and_o the_o point_n be_v this_o viz._n the_o regard_v or_o observe_v of_o time_n now_o i_o say_v that_o without_o this_o point_n of_o regard_v of_o time_n the_o astrologer_n can_v do_v nothing_o in_o their_o art_n of_o astrology_n for_o take_v from_o the_o art_n of_o astrology_n but_o this_o one_o thing_n viz._n the_o regard_v or_o observe_v of_o time_n and_o than_o it_o will_v be_v so_o poor_a a_o art_n that_o the_o practitioner_n thereof_o will_v be_v ashamed_a to_o own_v it_o for_o than_o it_o will_v do_v they_o no_o more_o service_n neither_o shall_v the_o astrologer_n get_v any_o more_o penny_n by_o their_o art_n for_o tell_v of_o fortune_n or_o resolve_v of_o horary_a question_n nor_o for_o their_o make_n of_o election_n for_o take_v away_o regard_v of_o time_n and_o then_o no_o astrologer_n can_v calculate_v your_o nativity_n for_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o astrology_n the_o very_a exact_a time_n must_v be_v know_v in_o which_o the_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v bear_v before_o judgement_n be_v give_v by_o the_o astrologer_n so_o in_o like_a manner_n it_o be_v in_o question_n election_n booker_n mr._n john_n booker_n and_o all_o other_o part_n of_o astrology_n that_o this_o be_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o astrology_n it_o be_v very_o manifest_a from_o their_o own_o word_n for_o that_o astrologer_n mr._n booker_n say_v plain_o thus_o viz._n ask_v what_o you_o will_v will_v you_o resolve_v be_v observe_v your_o time_n learn_v your_o nativity_n but_o to_o come_v more_o close_o unto_o the_o matter_n i_o find_v that_o the_o astrologer_n do_v regard_n and_o observe_v time_n to_o be_v either_o good_a or_o evil_n to_o do_v such_o or_o such_o a_o thing_n in_o because_o of_o the_o star_n and_o their_o position_n etc._n etc._n for_o they_o have_v planetary_a day_n and_o hour_n according_a unto_o which_o planet_n that_o then_o rule_v and_o govern_v abenragel_n lupton_n page_n 107._o ex_fw-la haly._n abenragel_n the_o astrologer_n do_v account_v the_o time_n to_o be_v either_o good_a or_o evil_n for_o say_v one_o the_o hour_n of_o mars_n be_v to_o be_v abhor_v in_o all_o thing_n both_o in_o the_o beginning_n and_o when_o the_o thing_n be_v do_v and_o a_o little_a after_o he_o say_v thus_o viz._n and_o as_o i_o have_v say_v of_o mars_n so_o i_o say_v of_o saturn_n for_o there_o be_v never_o a_o good_a of_o they_o both_o mean_v their_o hour_n now_o this_o regard_n of_o time_n be_v superstition_n and_o idolatry_n for_o these_o reason_n first_o 1.31_o gen._n 1.31_o because_o god_n have_v not_o make_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v both_o good_a and_o evil_a for_o say_v moses_n god_n see_v every_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v make_v and_o behold_v it_o be_v very_o good_a so_o that_o here_o you_o may_v see_v after_o god_n have_v create_v all_o thing_n behold_v he_o see_v all_o thing_n to_o be_v very_o good_a then_o from_o hence_o i_o gather_v thus_o much_o that_o be_v that_o the_o make_v the_o star_n and_o so_o time_n according_a to_o the_o star_n and_o their_o position_n to_o be_v evil_a for_o such_o or_o such_o a_o purpose_n i_o say_v that_o this_o make_n of_o time_n evil_a or_o unfortunate_a according_a to_o star_n and_o their_o several_a position_n be_v not_o of_o from_z nor_o by_o the_o appointment_n of_o god_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o word_n of_o god_n say_v the_o contrary_a for_o say_v the_o scripture_n god_n see_v all_o that_o he_o have_v make_v and_o behold_v it_o be_v very_o good_a so_o then_o from_o this_o you_o may_v see_v according_a to_o the_o scripture_n the_o hour_n of_o saturn_n and_o mars_n to_o be_v as_o good_a for_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n in_o they_o as_o in_o the_o hour_n of_o jupiter_n or_o venus_n also_o the_o moon_n may_v be_v in_o any_o of_o her_o mansion_n and_o yet_o you_o may_v not_o fear_v to_o do_v any_o lawful_a thing_n although_o the_o astrologer_n shall_v tell_v you_o that_o you_o have_v take_v a_o infortunate_a election_n to_o do_v your_o operation_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o position_n of_o the_o heaven_n as_o also_o because_o of_o the_o moon_n who_o be_v in_o one_o of_o her_o mansion_n which_o position_n of_o the_o moon_n in_o the_o say_a mansion_n do_v signify_v the_o destruction_n of_o the_o thing_n you_o have_v begin_v or_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v mar_v by_o this_o or_o that_o mean_n before_o you_o can_v perform_v the_o work_n etc._n etc._n i_o say_v that_o none_o that_o fear_v the_o true_a god_n aught_o to_o regard_v these_o or_o any_o such_o like_a heathenish_a superstition_n of_o the_o astrologer_n because_o that_o these_o thing_n aforesaid_a be_v not_o of_o god_n own_o

god_n institution_n the_o scripture_n do_v bear_v witness_n of_o the_o same_o but_o the_o scripture_n do_v bear_v witness_n that_o god_n make_v all_o thing_n good_a 1.31_o gen._n 1.31_o therefore_o all_o thing_n be_v good_a by_o and_o from_o god_n institution_n again_o whatsoever_o be_v by_o and_o in_o the_o scripture_n condemn_v the_o same_o be_v not_o of_o god_n institution_n but_o the_o

of_o time_n be_v not_o of_o god_n institution_n the_o argument_n above_o write_v do_v whole_o depend_v upon_o the_o scripture_n as_o you_o may_v see_v for_o the_o first_o argument_n who_o scope_n be_v to_o prove_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v good_a by_o and_o from_o god_n institution_n be_v evident_o see_v to_o agree_v with_o the_o scripture_n and_o be_v therefore_o confirm_v by_o the_o scripture_n as_o you_o may_v see_v gen._n 1.31_o in_o these_o word_n and_o god_n see_v every_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v make_v and_o behold_v it_o be_v very_o good_a now_o the_o scripture_n say_v plain_o that_o

very_a truth_n a_o idolatrous_a and_o superstitious_a dotage_n and_o fiction_n of_o the_o brain_n of_o the_o astrologer_n also_o the_o other_o argument_n in_o which_o be_v declare_v viz._n that_o the_o regard_n and_o observe_v of_o time_n be_v not_o of_o god_n institution_n be_v prove_v thus_o because_o it_o be_v condemn_v by_o and_o in_o the_o scripture_n for_o you_o find_v that_o manasseh_n that_o great_a idolater_n be_v in_o the_o scripture_n reprove_v for_o his_o observe_v of_o time_n among_o other_o his_o idolatrous_a practice_n for_o say_v the_o scripture_n thus_o of_o he_o viz._n 18.10_o 2_o king_n 21.6_o deut._n 18.10_o and_o he_o make_v his_o son_n pass_v through_o the_o fire_n and_o observe_v time_n and_o use_v enchantment_n and_o deal_v with_o familiar_a spirit_n and_o

be_v plain_o to_o be_v see_v that_o the_o regard_n or_o observe_v of_o time_n be_v forbid_v to_o be_v use_v and_o the_o use_n of_o it_o be_v condemnen_n for_o idolatry_n now_o then_o from_o hence_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o astrologer_n be_v very_a idolater_n because_o that_o they_o regard_v time_n the_o which_o regard_v of_o time_n be_v in_o the_o scripture_n condemn_v in_o the_o very_a like_o manner_n it_o be_v very_o apparent_a to_o all_o rational_a man_n that_o judicial_a astrology_n be_v a_o secret_a diabolical_a divination_n i_o say_v secret_a because_o it_o be_v so_o close_o and_o a_o subtle_a delusion_n of_o the_o devil_n whereby_o satan_n do_v delude_v almost_o all_o man_n at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o make_v man_n which_o believe_v in_o this_o vain_a delusion_n viz._n astrology_n to_o think_v that_o the_o star_n of_o heaven_n be_v
afore_o by_o i_o deny_v and_o i_o have_v give_v reason_n for_o my_o so_o do_v but_o to_o the_o end_n my_o reader_n may_v be_v the_o better_a able_a to_o judge_v between_o i_o and_o my_o antagonist_n therefore_o i_o say_v that_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o life_n and_o action_n of_o man_n can_v be_v know_v by_o the_o house_n nor_o from_o the_o star_n or_o sign_n of_o heaven_n which_o thing_n although_o i_o have_v spread_v abroad_o sufficient_a argument_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o what_o i_o have_v deliver_v yet_o nevertheless_o this_o i_o say_v again_o that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o 12._o sign_n as_o also_o the_o 12._o house_n of_o the_o astrologer_n be_v only_o imaginary_a thing_n seign_v by_o the_o astrologian_n therefore_o i_o deny_v that_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o life_n and_o action_n of_o man_n can_v be_v know_v by_o the_o house_n or_o from_o the_o 12._o sign_n of_o heaven_n because_o that_o no_o conceive_a idea_n which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o substance_n but_o be_v not_o a_o real_a substance_n in_o be_v can_v represent_v the_o humane_a nature_n of_o man_n which_o be_v a_o rea_fw-la substance_n and_o have_v a_o visible_a be_v wherefore_o see_v the_o house_n and_o sign_n can_v true_o and_o real_o represent_v the_o body_n of_o man_n in_o substance_n form_n and_o be_v therefore_o i_o say_v that_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o life_n and_o action_n of_o man_n can_v be_v know_v by_o the_o house_n nor_o yet_o from_o the_o sign_n of_o heaven_n for_o that_o thing_n which_o do_v not_o true_o and_o real_o in_o nature_n represent_v the_o very_a substance_n form_n and_o natural_a be_v of_o the_o thing_n represent_v can_v in_o any_o wise_a signify_v the_o quality_n of_o the_o be_v nor_o yet_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o thing_n represent_v from_o which_o argument_n i_o infer_v this_o conclusion_n follow_v which_o be_v this_o that_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o 12._o house_n and_o sign_n do_v not_o true_o and_o real_o represent_v the_o very_a substance_n form_n and_o natural_a be_v of_o man_n therefore_o i_o say_v that_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o life_n and_o action_n of_o man_n can_v be_v know_v by_o 620._o mr._n perkins_n against_o witchcraft_n page_n 620._o nor_o from_o the_o house_n and_o sign_n of_o heaven_n aforesaid_a now_o then_o in_o this_o place_n to_o insert_v something_o out_o of_o the_o work_n of_o that_o godly_a man_n mr._n perkins_n i_o judge_v it_o very_o necessary_a for_o these_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o he_o be_v a_o very_a godly_a man_n and_o therefore_o all_o man_n ought_v the_o more_o ready_o to_o believe_v that_o which_o he_o write_v to_o be_v truth_n second_o because_o he_o be_v a_o student_n in_o the_o say_a art_n of_o judicial_a astrology_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v the_o better_a able_a to_o judge_v of_o the_o legality_n or_o illegality_n of_o the_o art_n of_o astrology_n now_o what_o he_o faith_n of_o astrology_n you_o may_v see_v in_o his_o discourse_n of_o witchcraft_n page_n 620._o where_o his_o word_n be_v to_o this_o purpose_n viz._n that_o divination_n by_o the_o star_n be_v common_o call_v judicial_a astrology_n of_o which_o we_o may_v read_v deut._n 18.10.11_o where_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v of_o purpose_n reckon_v up_o all_o those_o kind_n of_o devilish_a art_n 18.10.11_o deut._n 18.10.11_o whereby_o man_n have_v deal_n and_o society_n with_o satan_n

the_o art_n of_o astrology_n be_v a_o diabolical_a divination_n 34.9_o psalm_n 84.11_o &_o 34.9_o for_o say_v the_o prophet_n david_n the_o lord_n will_v give_v grace_n and_o glory_n no_o good_a

but_o the_o scripture_n do_v in_o no_o place_n justify_v those_o that_o seek_v after_o the_o foreknowledge_n of_o thing_n by_o the_o star_n therefore_o i_o say_v that_o the_o seek_v to_o know_v

it_o a_o strange_a thing_n in_o that_o we_o sometime_o see_v the_o astrologer_n foretell_v that_o which_o afterward_o do_v come_v to_o pass_v and_o when_o the_o thing_n be_v come_v to_o pass_v we_o be_v not_o then_o to_o give_v ever_o the_o more_o credit_n to_o the_o astrologer_n nor_o yet_o to_o think_v astrology_n to_o be_v any_o whit_n the_o law_n full_a because_o the_o event_n fall_v out_o to_o be_v as_o the_o astrologer_n have_v afore_o predict_v for_o if_o because_o the_o event_n fall_v out_o to_o be_v true_a or_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v according_a to_o the_o prediction_n i_o say_v if_o any_o shall_v believe_v astrology_n to_o be_v a_o lawful_a art_n from_o this_o ground_n viz_o because_o those_o thing_n foretell_v by_o the_o astrologer_n many_o time_n fall_v out_o to_o be_v true_a and_o so_o come_v to_o pass_v as_o they_o predict_v again_o i_o say_v if_o they_o have_v no_o better_a argument_n to_o prove_v the_o legallity_n of_o astrology_n than_o this_o of_o the_o event_n answer_v to_o the_o prediction_n here_o than_o i_o say_v to_o all_o rational_a man_n viz_o note_n note_n that_o magic_n conjuration_n witchcraft_n and_o all_o such_o abominable_a wicked_a

for_o example_n i_o will_v instance_n in_o the_o death_n of_o king_n saul_n with_o his_o son_n and_o the_o destruction_n of_o his_o great_a army_n for_o we_o find_v that_o the_o witch_n at_o endor_n

raise_v up_o the_o devil_n at_o endor_n wherefore_o we_o may_v evident_o understand_v from_o hence_o as_o follow_v viz._n what_o the_o great_a and_o strong_a argument_n be_v which_o the_o astrologer_n can_v or_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v to_o prove_v the_o legality_n of_o astrology_n from_o and_o by_o i_o say_v that_o magic_a conjuration_n and_o witchcraft_n may_v from_o and_o by_o the_o say_a

my_o purpose_n i_o have_v declare_v a_o little_a afore_o that_o the_o great_a and_o strong_a argument_n that_o be_v set_v forth_o by_o the_o astrologer_n for_o to_o prove_v the_o legality_n of_o astrology_n by_o be_v this_o viz._n the_o event_n fall_v out_o to_o be_v according_a to_o the_o prediction_n now_o that_o this_o be_v the_o best_a art_n the_o great_a argument_n the_o astrologer_n have_v to_o prove_v the_o legality_n of_o their_o art_n and_o strong_a of_o all_o the_o argument_n which_o the_o astrologer_n can_v bring_v and_o produce_v to_o warrant_v the_o legality_n of_o their_o say_a art_n of_o judicial_a astrology_n by_o i_o say_v it_o be_v evident_o to_o be_v see_v that_o this_o be_v their_o great_a and_o strong_a argument_n as_o it_o do_v plain_o appear_v by_o their_o own_o word_n and_o confession_n write_v by_o themselves_o in_o their_o own_o book_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v i_o will_v here_o again_o manifest_o prove_v although_o the_o same_o be_v elsewhere_o by_o i_o do_v 195._o sir_n christopher_n heydon_n in_o his_o defence_n of_o astrology_n fol_z 195._o but_o to_o begin_v i_o think_v it_o be_v my_o best_a way_n to_o set_v their_o champion_n in_o the_o first_o place_n because_o if_o any_o man_n question_v with_o our_o astrologer_n about_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o their_o art_n they_o in_o all_o the_o haste_n and_o speed_n as_o may_v possible_a be_v do_v send_v he_o unto_o their_o champion_n sir_n christopher_n heydon_n defence_n of_o astrology_n where_o he_o may_v have_v a_o full_a resolution_n of_o all_o his_o question_n and_o doubt_n which_o he_o have_v ag_fw-mi inst_z astrology_n but_o now_o see_v we_o be_v in_o a_o dispute_n about_o the_o argument_n that_o the_o astrologer_n do_v common_o bring_v to_o prove_v their_o art_n of_o astrology_n a_o lawful_a art_n now_o then_o see_v sir_n christopher_n be_v the_o chief_a of_o our_o astrologer_n and_o unto_o he_o they_o send_v all_o that_o gainsay_v their_o art_n therefore_o let_v we_o hear_v what_o he_o can_v say_v for_o astrology_n 195._o heydon_n 195._o now_o what_o he_o say_v make_v he_o believe_v astrology_n to_o be_v a_o lawful_a art_n be_v only_o because_o he_o have_v see_v the_o event_n fall_v out_o true_a according_a to_o the_o prediction_n as_o it_o do_v plain_o appear_v by_o his_o own_o word_n which_o be_v as_o follow_v in_o the_o 195_o page_n of_o his_o

argument_n be_v whereby_o he_o can_v prove_v astrology_n a_o lawful_a and_o a_o mighty_a powerful_a art_n now_o if_o this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a warrant_n to_o make_v a_o man_n confident_a in_o the_o

plead_v the_o validity_n of_o astrology_n by_o be_v this_o because_o they_o see_v their_o prediction_n fall_v out_o true_a again_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v as_o i_o say_v before_o that_o this_o argument_n do_v prove_v astrology_n no_o more_o to_o be_v a_o lawful_a art_n than_o it_o do_v prove_v witchcraft_n to_o be_v lawful_a for_o all_o that_o which_o be_v foretell_v unto_o saul_n by_o
