or to such as destineth what shall happen unto man / and what plenty shall follow of grain and fruit in the earth / health or sickness in the air / committeth Idolatry Levit. 17. Deu. 18. I speak not against the knowledge that man seeketh for / whether it be in the heavens ⟨p. LXI⟩or in the earth / so that they extend there study to this end / to glorify god inn his works and not to make the works god. well we be assured by the scripture Hie. 10▪ and also by those that knew not the scripture that no constellation of heaven / mistemperature of the air / water / or earth can hurt him that feareth god / as the testimonies of the scripture declare. only the disobedience of man to wards god maketh man subject unto these diseases and sickness that man is troubled with all Ex. 5.9. Levi. 26. Nu. 14. Deu. 28·2. Re. 24.3. Re. 8.•. Pa. 21.2. Pa. 6. Eze. 6.7.14.28 33.38. Read the 90. Psa. that beginneth: who so resteth in the secrets of the highest / lodgeth in the harbour of the omnipotent. in latin it beginneth after the oldtranslaciō.

Cic. in the first book of divination Mocketh these blind conjectures / and fore destinies. querit unde Jupiter cornicē à levaet coruū à dextra canere jubet. asketh in derision of those south sayers / how happeneth it / that Jupiter commandeth the Crow to sing at the left hand and the Raven at the right hand. Esa. ca. 30. and 31. showeth an other kind of Idolatry which was used and punished in our fathers ⟨p. LXII⟩and likewise daily we see the same with our Iye•. confidence and trust in the power of the flesh. when such as be in lege / and confederacy to gather / to much trust in there own strength / and power. read those too chapters how the Israelites entered lege with the Egyptians / and what was there end / and confer the same unto our time what Cities / what Princes / and what strength after the judgment of the world was unit to gather. but because God was out of the lege / see the end / how it availed nothing.
