the_o emperor_n otho_n be_v not_o in_o his_o right_a wit_n when_o he_o write_v the_o forementioned_a book_n where_o the_o effect_n of_o those_o figure_n which_o he_o attribute_n to_o virgil_n have_v

that_o the_o constellation_n who_o name_n these_o be_v do_v not_o do_v the_o business_n in_o the_o effect_n which_o we_o see_v in_o nature_n but_o rather_o the_o sun_n pass_v through_o the_o part_n

some_o more_o and_o other_o some_o less_o according_a to_o the_o diverse_a aspect_n under_o which_o they_o be_v wrought_v to_o the_o second_o objection_n i_o answer_v in_o one_o word_n that_o it_o

indeed_o the_o most_o difficult_a of_o all_o the_o rest_n see_v that_o the_o virtue_n which_o we_o find_v imprint_v in_o a_o talisman_n seem_v to_o surpass_v the_o power_n of_o nature_n nevertheless_o
