London, printed by Robert White, for Tom Brewster, at the sign of the three Bibles at the West end of Pauls. Anno Dom. 1658.

E’ un sermone funerario, che, a dispetto del titolo, non ha assolutamente nulla a che fare con la disciplina astrologica. Avrei dovuto rendermene conto quando ho registrato quest’opera (senza averla però vista).
