summary:
  If any now enquire of me what may the cause be of this admirable accident ( as there is nothing more ordinary or more naturall to every man then to enquire of the causes especially of things extraordinary ) I will answere that considering the circumstances of time , and place , and persons , which I had then to doe with , many causes seeme to have concurred for it . First , whereas there are times in which Devils are in a manner unchained and have more liberty to doe their feats , and other times when they are tyed short and restrained from acting , as we learne in the twentieth chapter of the Revelation .

  Astrologie proved to be the old doctrine of demons, professed by the worshippers of Saturne, Jupiter, Mars, sunne and moon in which is proved that the planetary and fixed starres are the powers of the ayre, which by Gods permission are directed by Satan ... / written by an unworthy witnesse of the truth of God, John Brayne.

summary:
  3. By the ayre these powers worke on the earth , and on man composed of the Elements themselves were first made of , as by a tacture the Starres applying themselves by the ayre to the severall bodyes of men as they agree with , or are contrary to them , to sicknesse or health . It s notably sayd in Jude of the Antichrists Ministry , that they are {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} , as if they had as men the influence in their way on the world as all the Planets in Heaven had , acting one whiles as ♄ , anon as ♃ , then as ♂ , anon as the ☉ , and then as ☿ , Retrograding , opposing and joyning one with the other , and ingaging the world with them ; of which see my expos.

summary:
  EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The Monk gl●…d of this profer , got up ; but casting his Eyes down toward the water that was very clear , and seeing his Porters feet , of a strange and deformed shape , he blessed himself with the sign of the Cross ; at which the Devil hasted so fast away in a whirlwind , that it toar up a great Oak by the roots ; which gave the poor Monk cause to think that if he had not in time perceived the Devil to be his Porter , he should have been stifled in the waters by him .

summary:
  You know not how long God may continue you to yours , or them with you ; you had not been now mourning under this loss , if God had given to all his faithful Ministers the same length of time for their work , to which some attended longer than others have lived . Vlt. lastly , in a word , The eternal Presence of God with us in the immediate fruits of it , is our objective happiness , and necessary to our reward ; and this cannot be hoped or enjoyed whilst we are on this side eternity , and are measur'd by time :
