foretell_v many_o thing_n partly_o by_o revelation_n from_o god_n and_o partly_o because_o he_o be_v a_o subtle_a spirk_n and_o of_o long_a experience_n and_o he_o make_v those_o man_n foretell_v thing_n to_o come_v rather_o by_o move_v their_o fantasy_n or_o by_o dream_n or_o by_o offer_v to_o their_o eye_n the_o shape_n or_o to_o their_o ear_n the_o word_n of_o those_o thing_n he_o will_v foretell_v or_o by_o character_n 2._o they_o can_v foretell_v thing_n to_o come_v because_o god_n permit_v they_o for_o the_o great_a destruction_n of_o those_o that_o curious_o consult_v soothsayer_n so_o he_o suffer_v balaam_n &_o his_o ass_n to_o prophesy_v 3._o man_n that_o be_v of_o subtle_a spirit_n may_v foretell_v some_o thing_n by_o look_v diligent_o into_o the_o life_n manner_n and_o

much_o less_o shall_v we_o have_v commerce_n with_o satan_n who_o be_v excommunicate_v from_o heaven_n to_o the_o place_n of_o darkness_n and_o be_v the_o pernicious_a enemy_n of_o god_n and_o man_n q._n whether_o be_v the_o beast_n or_o fish_n perfect_a a._n the_o beast_n because_o they_o have_v more_o perfect_a sense_n beget_v more_o perfect_a blood_n in_o our_o body_n than_o fish_n have_v

fish_n answer_v to_o the_o bird_n wing_n and_o their_o scale_n to_o bird_n feather_n they_o both_o want_v ear_n pap_n milk_n bladder_n three_o many_o kind_n of_o bird_n dwell_v in_o the_o water_n as_o the_o sea-meawes_a swan_n etc._n etc._n four_o their_o move_n be_v alike_o for_o as_o the_o fish_n swim_v so_o the_o bird_n fly_v five_o they_o both_o use_v their_o tail_n to_o guide_v their_o fly_a

therefore_o the_o bird_n converse_v in_o the_o water_n and_o air_n q._n but_o it_o seem_v the_o bird_n be_v create_v of_o the_o earth_n the_o sixth_o day_n by_o these_o word_n of_o the_o 2._o
