Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hudibras, in Three Parts, Vol. 2: Written in the Time of the Late Wars, Corrected and Amended, With Large Annotations, and a Preface The Argument of The Third Canto. The Knight, with various Doubts possest, To win the Lady goes in Quest Of Sidrophel, the Rosy-Crucian, To know the Dest´nies Resolution; With whom b´ing met, they both chop Logick, About the Science Astrologick; Till falling from Dispute to Fight, The Conj´rer´s worsted by the Knight. Canto III. Doubtless the Pleasure is as great Of being cheated, as to cheat: This whole Canto is designed to expose Astrologers, Fortune Tellers, and Conjurers. In Banter of whom, Dr. James Young, (in his Tract, intitled, Sidrophel Vapulans, &c. 1699. p. 35.) informs us, "That in the Pontificate of some such holy Father as "Gregory the Seventh, a Lover of the Black Art; one of the "Tribe craved, of his Holiness, a Protector, or Patron Saint for "Astrologers, like as other Arts had: The good Pontiff willing "to oblige a Faculty he loved well, gave him the Choice of all in Saint Peter´s. The humble Servant of Urania, depending upon the Direction of good Stars, to a good Angel, went to "the choice Hoodwinkt, and groping among the Images, the first he laid Hand on was that of the Devil in Combat with "Saint Michael; had he chosen with his Eyes open, he could not "have met with a better Protector for so Diabolical an Art." ´Twas a Custom in Alexandria formerly, for Astrologers to pay a certain Tribute, which they called Fool´s-Pence, because it was taken from the Gains which Astrologers made by their own ingenious Folly, and credulous Dotage of their Admirers.
