ABSTRACT
If someone say that these men, by the influence of the stars, are born with the aforesaid power, while others are excluded from it, so that however much the others, who are born without this power, may be instructed, they cannot succeed in performing these works; we reply, first that, as shown above, heavenly bodies cannot make an impression on the intellect. Therefore a man’s intellect cannot, through the influence of the stars, receive a power whereby the vocal expression of its thoughts is productive of something.
