Or he that is borne under one sign / to be more fortunate / then he that is borne under the other / as this Egyptiacall / and Ethnic foolishness / beareth men in hand. The Prognostication of these blind Prophets / is good to be born in a mans besom to know the day of the month. The rest of there practice / is not worth one haw / as Moses teacheth / Deut. 28.29.30. Levit. 26. Three. 2. Malach. 2. Where as ye may see / that all these isles and many more / then the Astronomers speaketh of / cometh unto us for sin / and the transgression ⟨p. XCIIII⟩of God's commandment It is nether Sun / nether Moon / Jupiter nor Mars / that is the occasion / or matter of wealth / or who / plenty / or scarcity / of war / or piece. Nether is the cause of penitence the putrefaction of the air as Galenus writeth / libr. 1. De diffe. feb. cap 5. But the contempt of God's commandment is the cause / as thou mayest read in the chapters of the scripture a little afore rehearsed. The Air / The Water / and the Earth hath no poison in them selves / to hurt there lord / and master man. But first man poisoneth him self with sin: and then God useth these Elements ordained for the lief of man / to be the occasion of his death. Read the places and know that god health is nom bred among the blessings of God / and appertaineth unto those that fear and keep God's Commandments / and not to those / that be destined to live long / by the favour / and respects of planets And the isle / of what kind so ever it be / is the malediction of God / against sin. The physicians say that the chiefest remedy against pestilence is to flee from the place where the Air is corrupt.
Or he that is borne vnder one signe / to be more fortunate / then he that is borne vnder the other / as this Egyptiacall / and Ethnycke folyshnis / barythe men in hand. The Pronostication of these blynd Prophetis / is good to be born in a mannes besōme to know the day of the monethe. The rest of there practice / is not worthe one hawe / as Moses teachithe / Deut. 28.29.30.
