A Defensative against the poyson of supposed Prophecies. Not hitherto confuted by the Pen of any man, which being grounded, either vpon the warrant and Authority of Old painted Bookes, Expositions of Dreames, Ora- cles, Reuelations, Inuocations of damned Spirits, Iudicials of Astrolo- gie, or any other kinde of pretended knowledge whatsoeuer, De futuris contingentibus; haue beene causes of great disorder in the Common-wealth, especially among the simple and vnlear- ned people. Very needfull to be published, considering the great offence, which grew by most palpable and grosse errors in Astrologie
