(1553-1588)
A TREATISE UPON THE INFLUENCE OF THE STARS ON MAN AND
ON THE ART OF RULING THEM BY THE LAW OF GRACE:
Wherein is set forth, what Astrology, and the
Light of Nature is. What influence the Stars naturally have on Man, and
how the same may be diverted, and avoided.
As also
That the Outward Man,
how eminent soever in all Natural and Political Sciences,
is to be denied, and
die in us; and, that
the Inward Man by the Light of Grace,
through profession and practice of a holy life,
is to be acknowledged and
live in us: Which is the only means to keep the true Sabbath in
inward Holiness, and free from outward Pollution.
