And to this second kind of Divination may also Astrologie bee referred which by the motion and influence of Starres and Planets doth promise to foretell many things so long as it keepeth it selfe in due limits and arrogateth not too much to the certaintie thereof into which excesse of vanitie if it should breake forth it can then be no longer called naturall Divination but superstitious and wicked for the Starres may incline but not impose a necessitie in particular things The third and laâ—â— manner of Divination is that which we called superstitious whereof there hath among the Gentiles been divers different kinds namtly Auguration Aruspicie Necromancie Geomancie Hydromancie Pyromancie Coscinomancie Palmistrie or Chiromancie Auguration was a divination made of things to come by the flying feeding and chirping of birds the professors whereof called Augurs were of great account among the heatheÌ„ Romans in so much that there was a Colledge of them in the City neither would the Romans undertake any publike matter of importaÌ„ce without asking their assent But the vanity hereof was well derided by a wise Jew named Mossolamus as Josephus writes For an Augur in the wars once requiring that the army which was then marching might stand still a while till he tooke observation of a bird there by to foreknow the successe of that expedition this Jew whilst the Augur was busie in his art shot at the Bird with an arrow but by chance killed her whereat the Augur and others being highly offended Are you so foolish quoth the Jew to imagine this poore Bird can tell what will happen to us that could not foresee her owne death so neere at hand Aruspicie is a divination which by opening and viewing the bowels of beasts did undertake to foretell things to come the professors whereof were called Aruspices Necromancie the worst of all others is that divination which is practised by conjuration and calling up Devils or dead mens Ghosts Which manner of divination we read practised by King Saul 1. Reg. cap. 28. when he required a Sorceresse to call up the spirit of Samuel to him Geomancie is a kind of divination practised by making prickes and lines in the earth as the name in Greeke signifieth So Hydromancie is a divination made by some
