I Am A Lutheran Astrologer,

The Wisdom Of The Lord Is Infinite As Are Also His Glory And His Power. Ye Heavens, Sing His Praises; Sun, Moon, And Planets, Glorify Him In Your Ineffable Language! Praise Him, Celestial Harmonies, And All Ye Who Can Comprehend Them! And Thou, My Soul, Praise Thy Creator! It Is By Him And In Him That All Exist.

If There Is Anything That Can Bind The Heavenly Mind Of Man To This Dreary Exile Of Our Earthly Home And Can Reconcile Us With Our Fate So That One Can Enjoy Living,-then It Is Verily The Enjoyment Of The Mathematical Sciences And Astronomy.

Astronomy Would Not Provide Me With Bread If Men Did Not Entertain Hopes Of Reading The Future In The Heavens.

So, Fabricius, I Already Have This: That The Most True Path Of The Planet [mars] Is An Ellipse, Which Dürer Also Calls An Oval, Or Certainly So Close To An Ellipse That The Difference Is Insensible.

The Roads By Which Men Arrive At Their Insights Into Celestial Matters Seem To Me Almost As Worthy Of Wonder As Those Matters In Themselves.
