to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o i_o shall_v quote_v but_o only_o one_o example_n which_o usher_v the_o late_a king_n charles_n to_o the_o crown_n 1622._o in_o july_n happen_v a_o conjunction_n of_o

afflict_v with_o a_o epidemical_a disease_n in_o the_o belly_n the_o very_a same_o disease_n which_o late_o puzzle_v all_o our_o pitiful_a college_n to_o find_v out_o what_o it_o be_v and_o cause_v by_o the_o very_a same_o aspect_n namely_o a_o ☌_o of_o ♄_o and_o ♂_o in_o ♋_o i_o can_v conceive_v it_o can_v appear_v a_o wonder_n to_o any_o real_a physician_n that_o know_v upon_o what_o

though_o they_o have_v not_o wit_n enough_o to_o find_v out_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o disease_n yet_o they_o have_v wit_n enough_o to_o invent_v a_o hideous_a name_n for_o it_o viz._n the_o plague_n

such_o as_o question_v the_o truth_n of_o astrology_n consider_v of_o this_o and_o indeed_o for_o their_o sake_n i_o quote_v it_o i_o be_o confident_a many_o moderate_a soul_n be_v possess_v with_o a_o priest_n ride_v humour_n that_o they_o suppose_v whatever_o a_o priest_n prate_v in_o a_o pulpit_n must_v needs_o be_v true_a and_o for_o truth_n they_o entertain_v it_o without_o any_o

propound_v viz_o what_o have_v succeed_v such_o a_o ☌_o in_o our_o age_n and_o also_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o do_v it_o proceed_v we_o now_o to_o the_o second_o what_o the_o opinion_n of_o author_n be_v of_o such_o a_o malevolent_a ☌_o as_o this_o be_v and_o i_o care_v not_o great_o if_o i_o begin_v with_o haly_n the_o ☌_o of_o ♄_o and_o ♂_o cause_v impediment_n to_o king_n disease_n among_o

come_v we_o now_o to_o the_o three_o thing_n propose_v and_o that_o be_v my_o own_o judgement_n and_o herein_o i_o may_v well_o say_v as_o the_o priest_n do_v in_o the_o pulpit_n i_o know_v not_o where_o to_o begin_v nor_o where_o to_o end_v but_o i_o must_v begin_v somewhere_o or_o else_o i_o shall_v shame_v myself_o and_o confound_v my_o auditor_n if_o this_o do_v not_o argue_v simplicity_n in_o i_o to_o recite_v in_o a_o book_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o do_v in_o the_o priest_n to_o recite_v it_o in_o a_o pulpit_n well_o then_o i_o will_v let_v it_o stand_v for_o a_o jest_n and_o thus_o i_o will_v begin_v first_o never_o yet_o happen_v a_o ☌_o in_o saturn_n and_o mars_n in_o ♌_o but_o it_o punish_v london_n with_o a_o pestilence_n the_o next_o year_n follow_v and_o now_o they_o make_v two_o ☌_o in_o ♌_o one_o in_o 1652._o another_o in_o 1654._o what_o harm_n be_v it_o if_o i_o bid_v london_n beware_v of_o a_o pestilence_n in_o 1653._o and_o 1655._o though_o it_o shall_v never_o come_v to_o pass_v be_v the_o city_n ever_o the_o worse_a or_o the_o citizen_n ever_o the_o poor_a i_o be_o confident_a it_o have_v hold_v true_a as_o may_v appear_v by_o chronicle_n these_o five_o hundred_o year_n the_o merciful_a god_n who_o tender_a mercy_n be_v over_o all_o his_o work_n grant_v in_o mercy_n to_o his_o poor_a and_o almost_o undo_v nation_n that_o it_o may_v take_v away_o our_o oppressor_n only_o and_o spare_v such_o as_o mind_n and_o intend_v real_o the_o good_a of_o the_o commonalty_n and_o if_o i_o may_v make_v a_o allegory_n of_o one_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o though_o it_o be_v real_o in_o the_o letter_n once_o verify_v it_o follow_v not_o in_o the_o least_o but_o it_o may_v in_o a_o mystical_a sense_n be_v perform_v once_o again_o it_o follow_v not_o because_o god_n say_v genesis_n 3.15_o i_o will_v put_v enmity_n between_o thou_o and_o the_o serpent_n and_o between_o thy_o seed_n and_o her_o seed_n etc._n etc._n that_o all_o the_o enmity_n between_o they_o shall_v be_v only_o between_o man_n and_o serpent_n great_a enmity_n than_o which_o be_v not_o between_o two_o creature_n for_o man_n though_o they_o keep_v beast_n for_o their_o profit_n and_o bird_n for_o their_o pleasure_n and_o dormouse_n for_o their_o ease_n as_o to_o make_v themselves_o sleep_v or_o the_o like_a yet_o a_o man_n when_o he_o meet_v with_o a_o adder_n

it_o be_v quote_v in_o pliny_n natural_a history_n and_o i_o be_o much_o mistake_v if_o the_o same_o thing_n be_v not_o in_o gesner_n history_n of_o beast_n that_o if_o a_o serpent_n be_v put_v into_o

of_o the_o effect_n of_o this_o eclipse_n and_o in_o handle_v this_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o first_o the_o judgement_n of_o author_n upon_o the_o eclipse_n second_o former_a example_n of_o eclipse_n of_o like_a nature_n three_o my_o own_o judgement_n upon_o it_o to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o namely_o the_o judgement_n of_o author_n and_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o author_n we_o have_v many_o
