For this cause (I think) some were called Erring, or Wandering Stars: not so much that they were uncertain in their own seats and motions, as because they caused to err their Clients and gaping Inquisitors. And so they are called Erring in the same phrase and sense,1 as Death is called Pale; not that it is Pale it self, but because it makes those Pale it seizeth on: And Winter dirty, not formaliter, but secundum effectum, because it maketh the Earth dirty.
