★ More, Henry [1614-1687]. Tetractys anti-astrologica, or, The four chapters in the explanation of the grand mystery of holiness: which contain a brief but solid confutation of judiciary astrology, with annotations upon each chapter: wherein the wondrous weaknesses of John Butler, B.D. his answer called A vindication of astrology, &c. are laid open to the view of every intelligent reader. London, printed by J[ohn] M[acock] for Walter Kettilby, at the Bishops-Head in St Paul's Church-Yard, 1681.
In 4° (21 cm), A-Z4, cc. [1 bianca] [1], pp. viii 171 [1 bianca]. Stampa in rosso e nero al frontespizio. Il verso del titolo è bianco. Il titolo è seguito dalla Preface to the reader (fino a B2 verso), firmata “H.M.”. Note a stampa al margine. Errata a pagina 171.
Contiene 4 capitoli di Hagiastrologia di John Butler (vedi la scheda n. 1281), di cui costituisce replica e cui rinvio. More ribadisce il suo fermo pensiero anti-astrologico anche in quest’opera, commentando il testo di John Butler con accanimento. Non sembra (almeno a me) valesse la pena di scrivere tanto.
