Howbeit we must understand that those signs, which are attributed to dreams, ⟨p. 136⟩as touching the first kind already declared, are not necessary,1 forasmuch as they may be letted. And yet this hindereth not but that they may be signs. For this is so also in the clouds, which undoubtedly are signs of rain, when as for all it sometimes they are dissipated by the wind before it rain. And urine hath tokens either of sickness or health, when yet the effect may be letted by vehementer causes, & the same also happeneth of the pulses. Yea and those counsels, which we have appointed, and which with great deliberation decree to do, very oftentimes are not accomplished, because some other things happen between, whereby we can go no farther: which self same thing if it happen in dreams, it is no marvel, forasmuch as they are signs of things not perfect, but rather of the beginnings of things, and those weak and feeble movings of humours may yet be easily letted of many other causes.
Howbeit we must vnderstand yt those signes, which ar attributed to dreames, ⟨p. 136⟩as touching the fyrst kynde alredy declared, are not necessary,1 for asmuch as they may be letted. And yet this hindreth not but that they may be signs. For this is so also in the clouds, which vndoubtedly ar signes of rain, when as for al yt sometymes they are discipated by the wind before it rayn. And vrine hath tokens either of sicknes or helth, when yet the effect may be letted by vehementer causes, & the same also happeneth of the pulses. Yea and those counsels, which we haue appoynted, and which with great deliberation decree to do, very oftentimes are not accomplished, bycause some other thinges happen betwene, wherby we can go no farther: which self same thinge if it happen in dreames, it is no maruayle, forasmuche as they are signes of thinges not perfecte, but rather of the beginninges of thinges, and those weake and feable mouinges of humors maye yet be easely letted of many other causes.
