The starr-prophet anatomiz'd & dissected: or, Judicial astrologie, and the astro-mancers : with their mago-romantical, mago-physical, and mago-diabolical divinations of the future events of secular affairs, exploded by the sacred scripture and force of reason, though admir'd by their (superstitiously bewitch'd) quærents, as the oracles of fate, privy-councellors of the starrs, and secretaries of divinitie. Together with a plain denudation and detection of some of those sophisticating fallacies, and æquivocating ambiguities, which the fortune-tellers, (like unto their father, the devil of Delphos) impose (as their answer and certain judgment) upon their consulters. Perspicuously evincing; as well the idolatrous impiety, vanity, and falsity of natalitial prognostications, and of their wizzardly fore-deemings, upon the decumbiture of the sick; as the superstitious prophaneness, and abomination of both; viz. of the wizzards, and their credulous consulters. By J. S. a lover of all laudable arts and sciences.
