I life of the firft late, a&umeft. To the work-in hand, viz. the Bookjnfuing, which is
Book. divided into three Treatifis *, the firfl whereof doth with much facility,
and after a new method, instruct the Student how to begin his work^ viz.
I it teacbeth him the ufe of an Ephemeris3 of the Table of Houfes, &c.
it acquaints him how to erect a figure of heaven, bow therein to place the
Planets, how to rectifie^ their motions to the hour of his Figure*, it
I/- unfolds the nature of the Houfes, of the Planets, of the Signes of the
Zodiack, their divifion, and fubdivifton,their feverallproperties,terms
of Art, and whatever elfe is fit for the Learner to know before he enter
%p on judgment: unto whom and every one that will be ftudioustbis way, I
giverheje cautions.1 . ' ‘
f Cautions for Firfl, that he be very exact in knowing the ufe of bis. Ephemeris ,and
§ ‘ young Stu- in fitting a Scheame of Heaven for all the hours of the day or night, and
&ms. jn reducing the motions of tbePlanets to the hour thereof when need requi¬
red), and to know their characters distinctly and readily.
Secondly, 1 would.have the Student very perfect in knowing the nature
&f the Houfes, that he may the better difiover from what boufi to require
judgment upon the question propounded, left for want of true understand-
ing be mistake one thing for another.-
Thirdly, Iwouldhave him ready in, and well to Understand the Debt*
lities and Fortitudes of every Planet, both Effintiall and AccidentalL
J Fourthly, he mufl be well verf?d in difiovering the Nature of the Sig-
I nificator, what heftgnifies naturally, what accidentally, and how to vary
I bit fignification, as necejjity{hall require• , . . - t ; „ > ^. *
Fiftly, let him well understand the nature of the Signes, their proper-
 To the Re ad er .
ties and qualhitSytini wbatforms}fhafe and conditions theygiueof them-
(elves naturally, and what by the perfendl existence of a Planet in any of
them.
Sixtljy that he be ready in the fbape and defer iptien which every Pla*
net defines, and how to vary their fivape as they are pofited in Signe
and houfe, orafteded of the Moon or any other Planet.
Seventhlyi be muft oft read the termes of Arty and have them frefh in
btitnemoryy andejpecially thetwentieth and one and twentieth Chapters
of the fir ft Books
„ If God almighty fb all preferve my life, I may hereafter adds many
thingSy and much light unto this Arty and therefore I defire the Students
hereiny that if they meet with any extraordinary cafualty in their pra-
Oiccy they would communicate it unto me.
I nave with all uprigbtnejfe and fi?icerity of hearty plainly and boneft-
ly delivered the Artyand have omitted nothing willinglyywhicb I efteemed
convenient or fityor what might any thing affift tbeyong S indents herein;
I have refnfedthe Methods of all former Authors, and fiamed this De
Novo, which I have ever found Jo eafie and juccesfully that as yet
I never undertook^ the inUruBion of anjy whom I have not abundant¬
ly fatisfiedy and made:very capable of toe Art, in leffe time then any
could expeft;, for although I am not yet fix and fortyyeei s of age com-
pleat y and have fiudied this Science but fince. 1632* and have lived fix
ycers fince that time in theCowitty y yet I know I have made more
Scbollers in this Profeffmy then all that profejfe this Art in England.
It remaineSy that I give every Author his duey and deale plainly,
unto which of them I am engaged' for juch matter as they have aj]i tied me
with in the IntTod!:i$:ory part .* verily the Method is ray owney h.s
no tranflation \ yet have I conferred my owne notes with Dariot, Bo-

portion: In building this IVork^ I advifedwith Bonatus, Haly, Da-
riot, Leupoldus, Pontaniis, Avenezra, Zael; I examined the
B 2 Manufcripts
 To the R e a d e k.
Mannfcrips of Ancient and Reverend Profeffors in this Art, who
lived more remote fr om thefe corrupt LimeS) ( ftr unto the vulgar Pro-
feffors now reftding in this City, am I no wayes engaged;) and
though it wis.no [mail trouble unto me, tojee the discrepancy of judgment
am&ngtf them and the more ancient printed Authors, yet I have with
fome trouble reconciled their dijagreements, and reformed and corrected
what might' have led the Reader into an crrour: for indeed the Wri-
tings sf cur Fore-fathers in the Language they did deliver their minds
in> • was found and Jolid2 but the fimpUcity cf fuch as undertooki their
travjlatms was much and did beget mitfakes, wbileft they endeavouring
to trarfiate the Authors into Latin, or any other Language they thought
fit, did not urldcrfland the Art or the Termes thereof; Jo that of thefe
their Labourthey rendred an iH accompt unto Poller iiyy as any may
fee in the translation of that we call the Judicium in Novem Ju-
diciis, and in other pieces of Aikindus, one whereof lately a
learned Gentleman gave me, guilty of the fame deficiency in the transla¬
tion.
In this fec&nd Eook^ I have omitted nothing which I could devife to be
helpfully and if my onneway of judicature p/cafe any, it being fome-
what different from that-of the Ancients, he may in many Chapters
make ufe of it, I have illulfrated every houje with one or more Figures*
and thereinfbewed the method of judgment, which I held very convenient
for Learners^ it being my whole intention to advance this Art, and make
even a jlctider wit capable hereof.

Ton may in the thirdEoo\hehcldthe entire Art of Nativities, I

have made it plaine andfignificant: part of the Method, and much of
the matter 1bad from Leovitius, who was the fir ft that methodized the
Art of Nativities, before his time extreamly defAlive in that point j
where be wk not copious $ Ifupplyed my Je/fe, or enlarged from Origa-
fius,Ju»$:ine, Pezelius, Naibod , Cardan, Garceus, Scho-
nerus , Aibubatur, Montulaio, Judeus, Ptolomey , Lind-
hoid : Perhaps fome will accufe me for diflentmg from Ptolomey ; I
amfejfe I bane done jo, and that I am not the fir/?, or fball 1 that have
done foy be the Lfi) for I am more led by real on and experience, then
by the jingle authority of any one man^ &c. I have infer ted many judg*
ments
 To the Reade r.
mentf of my owne, I could have added many more : but who ami ? being
all errour, that fhould contradict the flyings of fs many wife men, whofe
learnings and fames Ifo much efteem and reverence.
Little did I thinkjhis JVork^of Nativities would have fwolsn to jo
greatabulkj, l ajfure you it exceeds my firft intentions: the faines
however hath been mine, and notwithstanding the importunities of fome,
and they not a few, who defired Ifrould not deliver the Art in fo plain?
and eafie a melbodyet Iprofefr,their words rather invited me to difcover
all I knew, then to conceale one ft liable material!*
Had I rejected my own? private lucre, I need not have wrote at all-,
who could have compelled me? my owne fortune is competent: but this
thing we call the pnblick^good, was ever, and (hall be my maxime to guide
me in jncb like actions: bow (ball I my felfe expelt truth in any Author,
if I my felfe, being an Author, play the kjiave in the fame kfnd: Quod
non vis tibi, ne facias akeri.
This Art of Aftrology hath many more parts in it then at this }re~
fent time I have handled, or indeed as yet have leifure to doe-, yet
I know it will be expected I fhould have wrote of Ele&ions, of the Ef¬
fects of the greater and leffer Conjunctions of the Planets, of Eclipfes,
Comets, prodigious Apparitions, the variation and inclination of
the Weather, De generalibus Accidentibus Mundi, and by the
ingreffe of the Sunne into Aries, of every yeers particular Fate, of
Monethly Gbfervation?, &c. Verily Inch things as thefe may jnStly
be required at my hands ’,for, unto God be the glory,they are all in a large
meafure kpiowne unto me, and I can performs them all, bleffed be his name
therefore : But as for Ele&ions, me thinks he can be ho ingenious
Aftrologian, that having Jiudied or well entred into this my Boo\ frail "M
not be able (ad libitum) to frame bis owne Figure of Elections, let tlM
quere be what it will.-
He that frail read my Dijcourfe upon the Conjunction of ft and X ,

fcypY Friend, whoever thou art, that with fo mucheafe ihalt receive the benefit of my

In the firft place confidcr and admire thy Creator, be thankfull unto him 3 be thou hum¬
ble, and let no natural! knowledge, how profound or tranfccnient foeveritbe, elate

to prekrve thy lelf in his favour, for the more holy thou art, and more neer to God, the
purer judgment thou ihalt give. Beware of pride and ielf-conceit 3 remember how that
long agoe, no irrationall Creature durft offend man the Macrocofme, but did faithfully
ferve and obey him,fo long as he wssmaftcr of his own Reafon and Pafti0ns,or until he
fubje&ed his will to the unreafonabie part. But alas, when iniquity abounded,and man
gave the reins to his own affection, and deferted realon, then every Beaff, Creature and
outward harmfull thing became rebellious to his command : Stand faff (oh man} to thy
Godjhtn confider thy own noblenefle,how all created things,both prelent and to come,
were for thy fake created, nay, for thy fake God became Man : Thou art that creature,
who being converiant with Chri(t, liveil and reigneft above the Heavens, and fits above
all power and authority. How many pre-eminences,privHedges, advautalgei hath God
bellowed on thee : thou rangeft above the Heavens by Contemplation, conceive ft the
motion and magnitude of the St. rs3 thou talked with Angels, yea, with God himfelf 3
thou haft all Creatures within thy dominion, and keepeft the Devils infubje&ion : Doe
nor. then for fhame deface thy Nature,or make thy felf unworthy of fuch gifts,or deprive
thy relfe of that great power, glory and blefledndle God hath alotted thee, by calling
from thee his feat,,for pofleffinn of a few imported pleafures. Having confidered thy

Ot to commend the Author,’tis the lead: '•^1

Of all my thoughts,this Work will doe it beflj
Nor yet to vex the prying Readers fence
with bumbaft words inftead of Eloquence,
Doe I crowd in thefe rude unpolifht lines:
But rather to informe the giddy times
How much they are his Debtors; what they owe
To him, whofe Labours freely doth bellow
On them his Art, his paines, his piercing fight.
His lampe of life, to give their darknefle light.’
Tis now a crime, and quite grown out of fafhion,
T’incouragc Art amongftthe Englifb Nation.
Tell them of it, or Natures myfteries,
Tufh, cry they ' Ignorance they idolize.
The glorious Stars, they think God doth nor ufe them
To doe his will : Lord / how doe men abufe them ?
Nor will allow the Planets to fulfill
(As inftruments) Gods high decree or will.
Nay, feme there are, though letter wife,they can
Not yet beleeve that all was made for Man.
Barke black-mouth’d Envie; carpe at what’s well done.
This Booke lhall be my choyce companion.

twelve Signes the Planets continually move3 and are ever in
one or other degree of them. It’s neceffary you can perfectly
diftinguilh the character of every Planet and Signe, before you
proceed to any part of this ftudy ; and alfo the characters of
thefe AfpcCts that follow* viz* □ A <P S .
D You
a6 An Introduflion to ASrologk.
Youmuft know, every Signe containes in longitude thirty
degrees, and every degree flxty minutes, 8cc. the beginning is
from T, and To in order one Signe after another: fo the whole
Zodiack containes 360. degrees, the fecond degree of # is the
the two and thirtieth degree of the Zodiack, the tenth of # is
the fortieth, and fo in order all throughout the twelve Sigftes ;
yet you tnuft ever account the Afpeds from that degree of the
Zodiack wherein the Planet is/ as if h be in ten degrees ofn,
and I would know to what degree of the Ecliptick he cafteth
his finifter Sextil Afped ; rekoning from T to the tenth de¬
gree of H, I find 7? to be in the feventieth degree of the Zodi¬
ack, according to his longitude 5 if i adde fixty degrees more
to feventy, they make one hundred and thirty, which anfwers
to the tenth degree of the Signe SI, to which T? cafteth his
Afped, or to any Planet in that degree.
When two Planets are equally, diftant one from each other,
fixty degrees,we fay they are in a Sextil! Afped,and note it with
this charader .
When two Planets are ninety degrees diftant one from ano¬
ther, wee call that Alped a Quartill Afped, and write it
thus, d»
When Planets are one hundred and twenty degrees diftant,
we fay they are in a Trine Afped, and we write it thus A.
When two Planets are one hundred and eighty degrees di¬
ftant, we call that Afped an Offofition, and charader the Alp^d
thus cP :
When two Planets are in one and the fame degree and mi¬
nute of any Signe, we fay they are in Conjundiony and write it
thus .
So then if you find 7? in the firft degree of T , and D or any
other Planet in the fir ft degree of H, you (hall lay they are in a
Stxtill Afped, for they are diftant one from another fixty de¬
grees, and this Afped is indifferent good.
If h or any other Planet be in the firft degree ofT , and ano¬
ther Planet in the firft degree of $, you rauft fay they are in a
P Afped, becaufe there is ninety degrees of the Zodiack be¬
twixt them : this Afpect is of emnfty and not good.
Ifh bs in the firft degree of and any Planet in the firft

degree of SI , there being now the diftance of an hundred and
twenty degrees, they behold each other with a Irine Afpe& j
and this doth denote Unity, Concord and Friendftup.
If you find h in the firft degree of T , and any Planet in the
firft degree of they being now an hundred and eighty de¬
grees each from other, are Paid to be in Offofition : A bad
Afpeft: and you muft be mindful! t© know what Signes are
oppofite each to other, for without it you cannot ere& the
Figure. -
When h is in the firft degree of T 5 and any Planet is in the
fame degree, they are then faid to to be in Conjnnfiion : And
this Afped is good or ill, according to the nature of the quefti-
on demanded,

I would have all min well and readily apprehend what pre- yfatwAits

which is no other thing, then a Book containing the true pla¬
ces of thePlanets,in degrees and minute$,in|every of the twelve
Signes both in longitude and latitude, every day of the yeer at
noon, and every hour of the day, by corre&ion and equation.
I have inferted an Ephemeris of the moneth of January 1646
and after it a Table of Houfes for the latitude of 52. degrees,
which will ferve in a manner, all the Kingdome of England on
this fide Newark^ upon 7>e«f, without fenfible errour ; and this
I have done of purpofe to teach by them, the ufe of an Ephe¬

Under c? you find Orient, that is, d* is Oriental or rifeth be¬
fore the ®. And fo at any time.
For better undemanding the true time when the }>
comes to the A fpeft of any Planet, you are to obferve, that
all thole that write Ephemerides, compute the motion of the
Planets for the noon time, or juft at twelve : And you mull
know, we and they ever begin our day at Noon, and fo reckon
24 hours from the noon of one day to the noon of the next
and after this manner you muft reckon in the Afpe&s. As for
example:
Over againft the firft of January 1646. which is Thurfday,
and under the column appropriate to the ®, you find ^ o.The
meaning whereof is, that the D is in ^ afpeft with the ©
that firft day o $ January at noon, or no hours P. M. or Pofi Me¬
ridiem.
Over againft Friday the fecond of Ianuary, you find under

fecond of January at fix a clock after noon, the l comes to the
□ or Quartill afpeft of $ 5 and at nine of clock ftie meets with
the * of 5 . f . .. .
Over againft the fixt day of January, being Tuelday,under T?
you find □ 14.that is,fourteen hours after noon of that day,the
2) comes to the □ of h : now you may eafily find,that the four¬
teenth
 An Introduction to Aftrologie. 31
teenth hour after noon of Tuefday3 is two of clock in the mor-
Rihg on Wednefday.
A<*ainc5 under the column of the® you find# 11 48. which
Is no more but this, the J> comes to d with the ® at 48 minutes
after eleven of clock at night: now you niuft know the D her
d with the © is her change, her next □ after d with the © is the
firft quarter, her d with the © Is full ]> , her □ after cP is her laft
quarter.
If ydti nuderftand but this,that thirteen hours is one of clock 5
the day ftibftquent, fourteen hours two of clock, fifteen hours
three of clock in the morning, fixteen is four of clock, feven-
taen hours is five in the morning, eighteen is fix of clock,nine¬
teen hours is feven of clock, twenty hours is eight in the mor-
ninsj, twenty one hours is nine of clock, twenty two hours af¬
ter noon is ten of clock the next day,twenty three hours is ele¬
ven of clock, See. Now we never fay twenty four hours after
noon, for then it’s juft noon, and if we fay go. 00. after noon
that is juft at noon, or then it’s full twelve of clock: Under¬
hand this and you cannot er re.

fore put the 11 degree and 37 minutes of m. on the Cufp of the
fixth houfe.
1 doe fo in the reft of the houfes, and by this meanes I have
framed the twelve houfes, and placed the fever allSignes of the
Zodiack upon the Culps as they ought to be.
Having linilhed your twelve Houfes by the Method prece¬
ding, you muft now learne to place the Planets therein; which
you muft doe by obferving in the Bphemeris, the exad place of
the Planet in Signe and Degree at noone the day of the Figure*
and in what Houfe you (hall finde the Sign wherein the Planet
is, in that Houfe muft you place the Planet, within the Houfe
if the Planet be in more Degrees then the Gufpe of the Houfe*
without the Houfe,if his Degrees be lefle then thofe of theCufp
of the Houfes.
Over againft the fixt day of January aforefaid, I finde T? to
be in 27. 58. of T : I look for T in the Figure, but find it not;
I find X on the Gufpe of the eleventh, and \S on the Cuff e of
the twelfth Houle fo I conclude that the Signe T is inter¬
cepted j for fo we fay when a Signe is not upon any of the
Cufpes of Houles,but is included betwixt one Houle and ano*
ther ; I therefore place T? in the 11 Houfe,as you may fee.
In the next place I finde the place of X to be 27.40 JL. I find
25.31* H to be on the Cufpe of the fir ft Houfe, becaufe the De¬
grees adhering to % are greater then the Gufpe, I placed with¬
in the Houfe. Andbecaufe he is noted Retrograde I place the
letter R,the better to informe my judgement.
’ In the fifth column of the Ephemeris I find the fixth of Jar
mry to be in the 13. 55. r? ^which Signe in the Figure is the
Gufp ofthe eighth Houfe: I therefore place as neer the Cufp

as I can,but his Degrees in the Signe being lefTe then the Cuipe
of the Houle, I place him without the Houfe.
I findethe © the fixth day o(Ianuary to be in 26.3 9. vp whem
I place beyond the Cuipe of the eighth Houle, becaule tile
Degrees of the ©ini? are more then the Cuipe of the Houle.
In the fame line, and over again ft the lixt of Ianuary, 1 finde
9 to be in 10. Degrees,and 5 3 minuts of X .
I finde the Signe of X on the Cuipe of the eleventh Houle,
and there I put 9 in the tenth Houfe,neer the Cufpe of the ele¬
venth Houfe, but not in the Houfe, becaule the Degrees of the
Signe Ihe is in, are not equivalent to the Degrees of the Cufpe
of the eleventh Houfe, but are fhort of them.
In the eight Column I finde under the Cara&er of 9 13.18.
above it ^. I therefore place 9 neer the Cuipe of the tenth
Houle, but not in the Houle; for you may lee he is neerer in
Degrees to the Cufpe of the tenth Houfe then the ninth; for
by how much neerer he is in Degrees to the Cufpe of any
Houfe, having the fame Signe, by fo much the neerer he ought
to be placed to the Cuipe of that Houle.
In the ninth Column, under the Column of the 3) I finde
over againft the lixth of Ianuary 20.54. aiK* over the Figures
V? : fo then I place the 3) very neer the © in the eighth Houfe,

© 3 nor hath Ihe fo few to be without the eighth Houle. How
to reduce the motion of the 3) and other Planets to any home
of the day,you fhall be inftrufted hereafter.
In the tenth column I find over againft my faid day, 11.10.
over it 51 and £1: fo you fee the£1 is in n.deg. 10. min. of

You muft ever remember that if your hour of the day be in

As for example.

ally all Queftions are made either fome hours before, or after

Queftions, it occafioneth no error (except in the motion of the

he may know how to doe his work handfomely. Example*
You muft fet downe the place of your Planet in Signe, de¬

place he is in the day fubiequent: but when a Planet is retro¬

Of the twelve Houfes5 their Nature and fignification.

' S before we have faid there are twelve Signes, and alia
teZ^Xtwelve Houles of Heaven, fo now we are come to relate
the nature of thefe twelve Houles $ the exa& knowledge where¬
of is lo requifite, that he who (hall learne the nature,of the
Planets and Signes without exa&: judgment of the Houfes, is
like an improvident man, that furnifheth himfelfe with variety
ol HoLifholdftuffe, having no place wherein to beftow them.
There is nothing appertaining to the life of man in this
worlds which in one way or other hath not relation to one of
the twelve Houfes of Heaven, and as the twelve Signes are ap¬
propriate to the particular members of mans body * fo allb doe
the twelve houfes reprefent not onely the feverall parts of man,
but his a&ions,quality of life and livings and the curiofity and
judgment of our Fore-fathers in Aftrology, was fuch, as they
have alotted to every houfe a particular iignification5 and fa
diftinguifhccl humane accidents throughout the whole twelve
houfes, as he that uuderftands the Queftions appertaining to
each of them,{hal not want fufficient grounds wheron to judge
or give a rationall anfwer upon any contingent accident, and
fuccefle thereof.

Of the firfl Houfe and its fignification.

The fird houfe, which containeth all that part of Heaven'
&otn the line where the figure one ftandeth, until! the figure-
two, where the fecond houfe bcginneth. >
It hath fignification of the life of man,of the ftature, colour,
complexion* forme and fhape of him that propounds the Que-
dion, or is borne } in Eclipfes and great Con junctions, and
sipon the © his annuall ingreffe into T $ it fignifieth the Com¬
mon people, or generall State of that Kingdome where the Fi~
gure is ere&ed.
And as it is the firfl houfe, it reprefents the head and face of
man, fo that if either T? or ^3 be in this houfe, cither at the
time of a Q^iedion, or at the time of birth, you (hall obferve

fome blemilh in the face, or in that member appropriate to the
Signe that then is upon the culp of the houle ; as if T be in the
Afcendant, the mark, mole, or fcarre is without fade in the
head or face * and if few degrees of the Signe afeend, the mark
is in the upper part of the head ; if the middle of the Sign be on
the cufp, the mole, mark or fear is in the middle of the face,or
neeritj if the later degrees afeend, the face is blemifhed neec
the chin,towards the neck: This I have found true in hundreds
of examples.
Of colours, it hath the White ; that is, if a Planet be in^
this houfe that hath fignification of white, the complexion of
the Party is more pale, white or wan j or if you enquii e after
the colour of the cloaths of any man, if his fignificatcr be ill
the firft houfe, and in a Signe correfponding, the parties appa¬
rel! is white or gray, or fomewhat neer that colour, fo alio if
the Qjefiion be for Cattle, when their Significators are found
in this houfe, it denotes them to be of that colour or neer it:
The houfe is Mafculine,
The Confignificators of this houfe are T and T?; for as this
houfe is the firft houfe, fo is T the firft Signe, and h the firft oi

ed,in this houfe,andin anybeneuolent afpeft of^ $ ®or 2> ,tt

life * 5 doth alfo joy in this houfe, becaufe it reprefents the
Head, and he the Tongue, Fancy and Memory: when he is
well dignified and pofited in this houfe, he produced! good
Orators : it is called the Afcendant, becaufe when the © com-
meth to the cufp of this houie* he alcends, or then aiifeth, and
is vifible in our Horizon.

Qjcfims corcerning the fecond Houfe**

From this houfe is required judgment concerning the eftate

or fortune of him that asks the Qjjeftion, of his Wealth or
Poverty, of all moveabk Goods, Money lent, of Profit or

munition, Allies and fupport the Common-wealth fhall haw •

It reprefents in man the neck, and hinder part of it totvards
the (boulders,- of colours the green.
So that it- one make demand concerning any thin" fpecified
above in this houfe, you muft look for fignification from
hence: It’s a Femininehoufe and Succedant, called in fome
Latin Authors Anaphora*,
It hath Confignificators V and «; for if V be placed in this
houfe, or be Lord hereof, it’s an argument of an eftate or for-
time;® and c? are never well placed in this houfe, either of
themfhewd.fperfion of fubftance, according to the capacity
and quality of him that is either borne or asks the queftions.

The third Houfe

Hath fignification of Brethren, Sifters, Cozens or Kindred,

Neighbours, finall Journeys, or inland-journeys, oft remo-
vine from one place to another, Epiftles, Letters, Rumours,
Mellengers s It doth rule the Shoulders, Armes, Hands and
rangers..
Of Colours, it governed! the Red and Yellow, or Croceall,
or Sorrell colour: It hath Confignificators, of the Signes E !
of the Planets dJ which is one reafon why d in this houfe,
unlefIe;oyned with p, is not very unfortunate, it is a Cadent

The Head of the Dragon is MafcuFne, of the nature of % Toe Head of

and 9 , and of himfelfe a Fortune 5 yet the Ancients doe fay, the Dragon*
that being in d with the good he is good, and in o' with the
evill Planets they account him evill.
The Tayle of the Dragon is Feminine by nature,and cleane TbeTaile«
contrary to the Head; for he is evil! when joined with good
Planets, and good when in conjunction with the malignant
Planets. This is the conftant opinion of all the Ancients, but
upon what reafon grounded I know not; I ever found the &
equivalent to either of the Fortunes, and when joyned .with
the evill Planets to leffen their malevolent fignification j when
joyned with the good to inercafe the good promifed by them :
For the Tayle of the Dragon, I alwayes in my praftifie found
when he was joyned with the evill Planets; their malice or the
evill intended thereby was doubled and trebled, or extreamly
augmented,&c.and when he chanced to be in conjun&ionwith
any of the Fortunes who were lignificators in the queftion,
though the matter by the principall fignificator was fairely
promifed, and likely to be perfected in a fmall time ; yet did
there ever fal out many rubs and difiurbances,mudi wrangling
and great controverlie,that the bufineffe was many times given
over for defperate ere a perfect conclufion could be had; and
unleffe the principall lignificators were Angular and well for¬
tified with efientiall dignities, many times unexpeftedly the
whole matter came to nothing.

Every one of thefe Signes containes thirty degrees or parts

in longitude : Hence it comes to pafle that the whole ^odiack
doth confift of 360 degree every degree containes Commutes,
which we alfo call fcruples,every minute containes do feconds,
and fo further if you pleafe, &c. but in Aftrology we onely
make ufc of degrees, minutes and feconds.
Thefe Signes are againe divided many wayes 5 as firft, into
four Quadrants or quarters, anfwcring to the four quarters of
the yeare.
The Vernal! or Spring quarter, is fanguine,Hot and Moyft,
and containes the firft three Signes, viz. Y T•
The iEftival or Summer quarter is Hot, Dry and Cholericky
and containes the fourth, fifth and fixth Signes, viz. S Si n£.
The Autumnal or Harveft quarter is Cold, Dry and Melan-

The Hyemnal, Brumal or Winter quarter is Cold, Moyft
and Phlegmatique, and contains the tenth,eleventh^nd twelft

They are againe divided in divifion of the Elements* for

The life whereofis this,That if you have a Mafeuline Planet
in a Mafeuline Signe,it imports him or her more manlyjand fo
if a Mafeuline Planet be in a Feminines Signe, the man or wo¬
man is lefle couragious, &c.
Some Signes againe are called Boreal, Septentrional or
Northerne, becaufe they decline from the Equino&ial North¬
ward, and thefe are V H S 51 HE *, and theie fix Signes con-
taine halfe the Zodiack, or the firfi femi-circle thereof.
Some Signes are called Auftral, Meridional or Southerne,.
for that they decline Southward from the Equino&ial, and
theie are £i HI ^ v? zz K •
Moveable. The Signes againe are divided into Moveable, Fixed and
Common, T S ^ rp are called moveable and Cardinall:
moveable, becaufe when the ® enters into T and &, the Wea¬
ther and Seafon of the yeer quickly varies and changes ; they
are called Cardinal, becaufe when the © enters into any of
thofe Signes from that time we denominate the Quarters of
the yeer.
For from the ® entring into Tand tea the Equino&ial or
the Spring and Autumne arife ; from the © his entrance into
S and v? arifeth the Solftice of Summer and Winter.
So then the Equino&ial Signes are V ~•
Solftitial and Tropicks s v?.
Fixed Signs, The Fixed Signes doe in order follow the Equino&ial and
Tropicks y and they are called fixed, for that when © enters
into them, the feafon of the yeer is fixed, and we doe more
evidently perceive either Heat or Cold, Moyfture or Drinefle.
The fixed Signes are thefe,: & SI HI ^ •
Common• Signes are conftituted between moveable and fixed, and re-

Let us admit the Afcendant to be fixed, and the Lord of that

Chap. XVIII.
Of the EJfentiall Dignities of the Planets»

T He exa& way of judicature in Aftrology is, firft, by being

perfeft in the nature of the Planets and Signes.
Secondly, by knowing the ftrength, fortitude or debility of
the Planets,Significators,and a well poyiing of them and their
alpe&s and feverall mixtures, in your judgment.
Thirdly, by rightly applying the influence of the poiiture of
Heaven ere&ed, and the Planets alpe&s to one another at the
time of the Queftion,according to natural! (and not enforced)
maximes of Art; for by how much you endeavour to ftraine a
judgment beyond nature, by to much the more you augment
your Errour.
A Planet is then faid to be really ftrong tvhen he hath many
Eflential dignities, which are knownc, by his being either in
his Houfe5ExaItation,Triplicuy,Terme or Face,at time of ere¬
cting the Figure. As for Example :
In any Scheame of H aven, if you find a Planet in any of Ejfential dig2
thofe Signes we call his houfe or houfes, he is then eflentially nity by Houfe*
ftrong, and we allow for that five dignities 5 as 1? in \?, % in
v? , &c*
In judgment^ when a Planet or Signific'ator is in his owns
houfe, it reprefencs a mm in fuch a condition, as that he is
Lord ot hi*, o vne houle, eft ate and fortune ; or a man wanting
very little of 'the Goods >f th s world, or it tels you the man is
in a very happy ftate or condition: this will be true,unlefle the
N 3 (jguifi- £

fignificator be retrograde, or combuft, or aftli&ed by any other
malevolent Planet or afpeft.
Exaltation* If he be in that Sigue wherein he is exalted, you may allow
him four dignities eilentiall, whether he be neer the very de-
gree of his exaltation, yea or not; asef inyp or V in <s.
If the fignificator be in his exaltation, and nowayesimpe-
dited, but Angular ; it prefents a per foil of haughty condition,
arrogant, affuming more unto him then his due j for it’s obfer-
ved, the Planets in fome part of the Zodiack doe more evident¬
ly declare their effe&s then in others ; and I conceive this to be
in thofe Signes and degrees where fixed Starres of the fame na¬
ture with the Planet, are more in number, and neerer the
Ecliptick.
If he be in any of thole Signes which are alotted him for his
Triplicity.
Triplicity, he hath allowed him three dignities : but herein
you muft be cautious; as for example : In a Queftion, Nativi¬
ty, or the like, if you find the ® in T , and the Queftion, or
Nativity, or Scheame ere&ed be by night, and you would ex¬
amine the ® his fortitudes, he fhall have four dignities for
being in his exaltation, which continues through theSignej
but he fhall not be allowed any dignity, as being in his tripli¬
city 5 for by night the ® ruleth not the fiery Triplicity, but
% ; who had he been in place of the ®, and by night, muft
have had allowed him three dignities: and this doe generally
in all the Planets, d* excepted, who night and day ruleth the
watry Triplicity.
0
A Planet in his triplicity, fhewes a man modeftly indued
with the Goods and Fortune of this world, one prettily des¬
cended,and the condition of his life at prefent time of the Que¬
ftion, to be good 5 but not fo, as if in either of the two former
dignities.
Tearme. If any Planet be in thofe degrees we aftigne for his Termes,
we allow him two dignities •, as whether day or night, if X be
in one, two, three or four. See. degrees of T, he is then in his
owne Termes,and muft have two dignities therefore 5 and fo $
in any of the firft eight degrees of , 8cc.
A Planet fortified, only as being in his own Termes, rather
jfliewes a man more of the corporature and temper of the Pla-
- > T net,

net, then any extraordinary abundance in fortune, or of emi-
nency in the Common-wealth.
If any Planet be in his Decanate^ Vecurie or Face, as in Face,
the fir ft ten degrees of T , or 5 in the»firft ten degrees of b,
he is then allowed one effentiall dignity ; for being in his owne
Decanate or Face, cannot then be called peregrine.
A Planet having little or no dignity, but by being in his Se¬
nate or Face, is almoft like a man ready to be turned out of
doores, having much adoe to maintaine himfelfe in credit and
reputation: and in Genealogies 'it reprefents a Family at the
laft gafp, even as good as quite decayed, hardly able to fupport
it felfe.
The Planets may be ftrong another manner of way, viz. Ac¬
cidentally ; as when Direft, fwift in Motion, Angular, in A
or ^ afpe& with % ov 9 , See. or in d with certaine notable
fixed Stars, as {Kail hereafter be related j Here followeth a Ta¬
ble of Effentiall Dignites, by which onely calling your Eye
thereon, you may perceive what effentiall dignity or imbecility
any Planet hath. -
There hath been much difference between the Arabians,
Greeks and Indians concerning the Effentiall Dignities of the Pla¬
nets ; I meatie how to difpofe the feverall degrees of the Signes
fitly to every Vianet $ after many Ages had paffd, and until! the
time of Ftolotney, the Atfrologians were not well refolved hereof %
but fince FtoJomey his time, the Grecians unanimoufly followed
the method he left, and which ever fince the other Chriftians
of Europe to this day retaine as mo ft rationall; but the Moores
of Barbary at prefent and thofe Attrologians of their Nation who*
lived in Sfaine doe fomewhat at this day vary from us * howe¬

Application of Planets is three feverall wayes: Fir ft, when

a Planet ofmorefwift motion applies to one more flow and '
ponderous, they being boch dired3 as d in ten degrees of T ,
5 five: here 5 applies to d ofc? •
Secondly, when both Planets are retrograde, as 5 in ten de¬
grees of T , and cT i:« nine of Ti 5 being not direft untill he
hath made d with d : this is an ill Application and an argu¬
ment either fuddenly perfecting, or breaking off the bufineffe,

according as the two Planets have fignification.

Thirdly, wheti a Planet is dirett, and in fewer degrees, and
a retrograde Planet being in more degrees of the Signe, as d
being direCt in 15 T: and 2 retrograde in 17 T 5 this is an ill
application, and in the Ay re fhewes great change; in a Quefti-

Application, It is when two Planets' are dawring neere together either by
or Afpeft, viz. to a ^ A D or eP 5 where you muftunder-
ftand, that the fupcriour Planets doe not apply to the inferi-
our (unleiTe they be Retrograde, but ever the lighter to the
more ponderous; as if T? be in the i o. degree of T 3 and & be
in the feventh degree of T the fame Sigrie, here <? being in
fewer degrees,and a more light Planet then T?, applies to his
cf 5 if cT had been in the feventh degree of H 5 he had then ap-
plyed to a Afpeft with V: had been in the feventh de¬
gree of S 5 he had then applyed to a □ of T? ; had he betn in
the feventh of SI, he had applyed to a A of T? s had cf been
in the feventh degree of ^, he had applied to an cP of T?, and
the trueAfpeft would have been when he had come to the fame
degree and minute wherein 1? was : And you muft know that
when T? is in T arid cafteth his ^ □ or A to any Planet in
the likedegrees of H or 25 or SI y this A(pe& is called a Sini-
fter>K □ or A, and it is an Afpett according to the fucceflion of
theSignes ; for after T fucceeds tf,then E 5then S,&c.and
fo in order. Now if h he in T 3 he alfo cafteth his ^ □ or A
to any Planet that is in v? or J, and this is called a Dex¬
ter Afpeft, and is againit the order of Signes j but this. Table

Separation* Separation, it is in the firft place, when two Planets are de¬
parted but fix minutes diftancc from each other, a* let h be in
io. dear, and 25. of T and V in 10. degr. and 25.min.of T :
now in thefe degrees and minutes they are in perfeft d> but
when. V Bull get into 10. degr. and 31.or 32. minutes of J,
he ihall be faid to be feparadng front hi yet becaufe h hath
0. degr. allowed hint for his rayes, and hath alfo the fame
number allowed him, % cannot be faid to be totally feperated
cr cleere from the rayes of h , untill he hath got 9.whole de¬
uces further inro T , or is fully 9. degrees dillant from him,
for the halfe of V hisorbeis 4. degr. 30.min.and thehalfeof
t, his orbe is 4. degr. 30. min. added together they make 9.
whole degrees j for every Planet that applies is al lowed halfe
his owne orbs and halfe the orbs of that Planet from whom I
he feperates: As if ® and }' be in any afpifijthe 5 (hall then I
be feperated from the ©, when (he is fully dliiant from the ® |
7.degr.and 30.min.mz. half the orbs of the ®, and 6. degr. the
moity of her owne orbes ; in all _i 3. degr. and 30.minutes. ]
The exatt knowledge hereof is various and excellent: For
admit two Planets fignifkators in Marriage at the time of the
queftion, are lately feperated but a few minutes ; I would then
nidge there had been but few dayes before great probability of
effefting the Marriage, but now it hung in fufpence, and there
feemed fome diflike or rupture in it; and as the fignificators i
doe more feperate, fo will the matter and affeftion of the par¬
ties more alienate and vary, and according to the number of
deprees that the fwifter Planet wanteth ere he can be wholly
feperated from the more ponderous, fo will it be fo many
wcekes, dayes,moneths,or yeers ere the two Lovers will who!- |
Iy delifi or fee the matter quite broke off: The two figiupcd-
un inmoveable Signes, Angular and fwift in motion, doth
hailen the times Tin common fignes, the time will be more
long ; in fixed, a longer (pace of time will be required.
Prohibition is when two Planets that iignifie the effecting

an Afped\\ and before they can come to a true Afpeft/another

led Prohibition. For Example, d is in 7-degr.of r, and h .
is in the 12. d fignifies the effe&ing my bufinefle when, he
comes to the body of Tj, who promises the conclufion, the ©
iTSefametimein6. degr.oVr: Now in regard that the
®is fwifter in motion then & , he will overtake d* ,and come
to d with h before d9 whereby whatever d or h did for¬
merly fignifie,i$ now prohibited by the ® his iirft impediting
6 and then h , before they can come to a true d . This man¬
ner of prohibition is called a ConJimftionall or Bodily .pro¬
hibition * and you muft know that the combuftioii of any 1 la-
net is the greateft misfortune that can be.
The fecond manner of Prohibition is by Afpeft, eithei ^
O A cP, viz. when two Planets are going to Conjunction*
as d in 7. degr. of T, h in 15 of T * let us admit the 0 m 5.
degr. of H * he then being more fwift then d m his diurnal I
motion, doth quickly over-take and pads by the dexter o
'Jand comes before d can come to d ) to a ^ dexter ot T?.
This is called a Prohibition byAipeft,in the fame nature judge
if the AfpeCt be □ A cP . ■
There’s another manner of Prohibition * by Tome more pro-
perly called Reffenation * as thus, T? in i2.degr. of T 5 d in
7 .degr. here d haftens to a d of h , buc before he comes to
the tenth or eleventh degree of T he becomes Retrograde, an
by that meanes refraines to come to a d of 1? ,who ftill moves
forward in the Signe, nothing fignified by the former o' will
ever be effe&ed. r , .
TranfLtion oflight and nature is, when a light Planet le- franp.auon,
perates from a more weighty one, and prefently joynes to an¬
other more heavy; and its in this manner. Let TJ be m 20.
dear, of T : d ini5.of T,and 5 ini6.ofTi here 3 be¬
ing a fwift Planetfeperates from d, and tranflates the vercue
of d unto h. Its done alfoas well by any Afpett as by d .
And the meaning hereof in judgenient, is no more then thus 5
That if a matter or thing were promifed by b > then iuch a
man as is fignified by 3 (hall procure all the atMance a Mars
man can doe unto Saturne, whereby the bufineffe maybe the
better effefted; in Marriages, La wfuin,and indeed m aU vulgar
q iellions Tranflation,is of great ufe,aad ought well to be con-
Mered. * Recepaon •
 I 12 An Introduction to AStrologie,
Reception* Reception is when two Planets that are fignificators in any
Qjieftion or matter, are in each others dignity 5 as © in V *
and cf in SI 5 here is reception of thefe two Planets by Hou¬
les j and certainly this is the ftrongeft and belt of all recepti¬
ons. It may be by triplicity terme or face,or any effentiall digJ
nity 5 as 9 in Y, and ® in 5 here is reception bytiiplici-
ty, if the Queftion or Nativity be by day : fo 9 in the 24. of
y*and d" in the 16* of H 5 here is reception by terme*cf being
in the terms of 9 ,and (he in his termes.
The ufe of this is much * for many times when as the effect¬
ing of a matter is denyed by the APpe&s, or when the fignifi-
cators have no Alpeft to each other, or when it feemes very
doubtfull what its promiled by □ or cP of the fignificators*
yet if mutuall Reception happen betwixt the principall figni¬
ficators, the thing is brought to pafle, and that without any
great trouble, and fiiddenly to the content of both parties.
Peregrine* A Planet is then Paid to be Peregrine., when he is in the de¬
grees of any Signe wherein he hath no effentiall dignity : As
T? in the tenth degree of V , that Signe being not his Houle*
Exaltation* or of his Triplicity, or he having in that degree
either Terme or Faces, he is then Paid to be Peregrine 5 had he
been in 27, 28, &c. of T * he could not be termed Peregrine*
becaule then he is in his owne Terme.
So the © in any part of s is Peregrine, having no manner
of dignity in that Signe.
This is very much materiall in all Qneftions to know the
Peregrine Planet,iefpecially in queftions of Theft 5 for euer al-
moft the fignificator of the Theefe is known by the Peregrine
Planet pofited in an Angle, or the Pecond HouPe.
Vojd of cours A Planet is voyd of courfe,when he is Peperated from a Pla¬
net, nor doth forthwith, during his being in that Signe, ap¬
ply to any other: This is molt ufually in the 3); in judges
ments doe you carefully oblerve whether {he be voyd of courle
yea or no; you (hall Peldome lee a bufinefle goe handfomely
forward when fhe is Po.
F ruff rat ion* F ruftration is, when a Pwift Planet would corporally joyne
with a more ponderous, but before they can come to cP * the
more weighty Planet is/oyned to another, and fo the cP of

A Planet is laid to be Co nbuft of the ® , when in the fame ComhujHon*
Signe where, the ® is in, he is not diftant h orn the ® eight de¬
grees and thirty minutes, either b.fore or after the ®; as 'if in
the tenth degree of T , and ® in the eighteenth of T ; here Y
is combuft: or let the ® be in eighteen of T , and 'if in twenty
eight degrees of V , here "if is combuft and you mud obferve a
Planet is more aftli&ed when the ® haftens to d of him, then
when the ® recedes from him *, in regard ids the body of the
® that doth afflift. I allow the moyity of his owne Orbs to
fhew the time of comhuftion, and not of "if v for by that rule %
fhould not be combuft before he is within foU£degrees and a half
of the ®. I know many are again ft this opinion.
Life which you find moft verity in : the ftgnificator o£ the
Querent combuft, fhewes him or her in great feare, and over-
powred by fome great p f on.
A Planet is faid to be ltiil under the ^un-beames,until 1 he is 'Under the 0

or after him.

48. though fome allow a few more. The J) is Orientall of
the © from the time of her <p to her conjun&ion, and Occi¬

Thufeof the ‘Table•

Many times it happens, that it is of great concernment to

the Querent to know, whether a Woman be with chiide of a
Male or Female; or whether the Theefe be Man or Woman,
&c. When it fhall fo chance that neither the Angles, or the (ex
of the Planet, or the Signes doe difcover it, but that the tefti-
monies are equal!; then if you confider the degrees of the
Signe wherein the 2) is, and wherein the Planet fignificator
of the thing or party quefked is, and the degree of the Cufpe
of the Houfe fignifying the perfon quefked after 5 and fee by
the fecond Colamn whether they be in Mafculine or Feminine
Degrees,you may poyfe your judgement,by concluding a Maf¬
culine party, if they be polked in Mafculine degrees ; or Fe¬
minine, if they be in Feminine degrees. You fee the firft eight
degrees of T are Mafculine,the ninth degree is Feminine,from
nine to fifteene is Mafculine, from fifteen to two and twenty is
Feminine, from two and twenty to thirty is Mafculine; and
fo as they (land diretted in all the Signes.
The third Columne tels you there are in every Signe certain*
Degrees, fome called Light, Darke, Smoakie,Void, Etc.the ufe
hereof is thus:
Let a Signs afeend in a Nativity or Qneftion, if the Afcen-
dint be in thofe Degrees you fee are called Light, the Chiide
or querent (hall be more faire; if the degree afeending be of
thofe we call Darke, his Complexion fhall be nothing fo faire,
but more obfeure and darke ; and if he be borne deformed, the
deformity fhall be more and greater; but if he be deformed
when the light degrees of a Signe afeend^the imperfettion fhall
be more tolerable.
And if the or the Degree afeending be in thofe degrees -
we call Voyd, be the Native or Querent faire or foule, his un-
deritanding will be fmall, and his judgement lefle then the
world fuppofeth, and the more thou conferred with him, the
grener defe& fhalt thoirfindein him. If the Afcendant,the
or either of them be in thofe degrees we call Smoakie, the per-
fon inquiring or Native, ,fhall neither be very faire nor very
foule ^ 3
 ,5 x $ An JntrochiBion to Atfrologie;
foule, butofamixt Complexion, Stature or conation, be-
twixt faire and foule* betwixt tail and of little Stature, and fo
in condition neither very judicious or a very A fife.
You fee the three firft Degrees of T are Darke*from three to
eight areligfit, from eight to fixteen are Darke* from lixteen.
to twenty are Light* from twenty, to. four and twenty are
Voyd, from foure and twenty to nine and twenty are Light,
the 1 aft Degree is Voyd.
Degrees deep or pitted prefented in the fourth Column have
'Degrees?deef ^is ggnificat|0A) that-if either the ® or the Degree afeending
flttea* or Lord of the Afcendant be in any of them* it (hews the Man
at a hand in the queftion he askes* not knowing which way to
turn himfelfe* and that he had need of helpe to bring him into
a better condition 5 for as a man caft into a Ditch doth not ea-
fil] get out without helpe, (o nomore can this querent in the
cafe he is without aftiftance.
Called by [of ne Degrees lame and deficient are thofe mentioned in the fifth
Azitnwe de- Columnc; the meaning whereof is thus* If in any queftion
*
grees you finde h’m that demands the queftion * or in a Nativity* if
you finde the Native defe&ive in any member* or infefred with
an inleperable difeafe* halting* blindnefte? deafnefle* &c. you
may then luppofe the native hath either one of thefe Azimene
degr. afeending at his birth* or the Lord of the Afcendant* or
the D in one of them : in a Queftion or Nativity* if you lee the
Q;ierent lame naturally* crooked* or viciated in fbme mem^
ber* and on the fodain you can in the figure give no prefent fa-
tisfa&ion to your felfe, doe you then confider the Degree af¬
eending* or Degree wherein the J) is in* or the Loidof the
Afcendant* or principal! Lord of the Nativity or Queftion,
and there is no doubt but you lhall finde one or mpre of them
in Azimcne degrees.
Decrees in- Theft Degrees are related in the fifth Column, and tend to
CTiaftnz for- this underftanding, that if the Cufe of the fecond Houfe, or if
me, the Lord of the fecond houfe, or % , or thepart of fortune be
jn. any of thofe degrees* its an argument of much wealth,and
that the Native or Querent will be rich.

T was well neere foure yeeres after I had ftudied Allrology, ~
before I could tinde any reafon, why the Planets in every of
toeSignes ihould lignifie the members as mentioned in the Ta¬
ble : at laid, reading the 88. ApOorifme of Homes, I underftood
the meaning of it, viz.Erh im-pcdimentipn circa Warn partem corporis
quam jfgnificat Jignum,quodfuerit nativitatU tempore imped;turn.There
wil be feme impediment in or neer that part of the body,which
is tignihed by theSigne that fhall be afflicted at time of the Birth
The ufe of all comes to thus much : -
That if you would know wh|ere anyIDifeafe is, Imeanein
what member of the body, fee in what Signe the flgnicator of
the lick Party is, and what part of mans body that Planet fig-
nifies in that Signe, which you may doe by the former Table,
in that member or part of body fhall you fay the lick party is
grievedcor difeafed. 0 1 i iV- d c • j ,

Queftion in H * have recourfe to your Table, and you fee h in
E iiguifieth aDjfeafe in the Belly or heart,8tc.Do fo in the reft.
Now the reafon of this fignification of every Planet in fiich
or fuch a Signe is this:
Every Planet in his owne Houle or Signe, governeth the .
Head 5 in the fecond Signe from his Houfe, the Neck 5 in the
the third Signe from his Houle, the Armes and Shoulders ;
and fo fucceflively through the twelve Signes: as T? in vp ruleth
the Head, in ss the Neck, in X Armes and Shoulders : fo ^ in
& ruleth the Head, in vy the Neck, in ss the Armes and
Shoulders.
The 3> obferves the fame order as the reft yet the Arabians,
from whom this learning is, doe allow her in T the Head a$
well as the Knees: The Head, becaufe Aries fignifies fo much*5
The Knees,becaufe^rie/ is the ninth Sign from Cancer.
You may obferve this in the marks of mans Body, and ma¬
ny other judgments, and make lingular ufe of it; ever remem-
bring this, the more the Signe is vitiated, the greater mole or
fcarre 5 or the neerer to an Azimene, Fitted or deficient degree of
the Signe, the ftronger is the deformity, ficknelfe, &c.

Considerations before Judgment.

rA kk the Ancient? that have wrote of Queftions, doe give

jfjLwarning to the Aflrologer, that before he deliver judgment
he well conlider whether the Figure is radical! and capable of
judgment; the Queftion then (hall be taken for radicall, or
fit to be judged, when as the Lord of the hour at the time of
propoling the Queftion, and erefting the Figure, and the Lord
of the Alcendant or firft Houfe,are of oneTriplicity,or be one,
or of the fame nature.
As for example $ let the Lord of the houre be cf , let the Signe
of TTf orX afeend, this Queftion is then radicall, becaufe d"
is Lord of the hour, and of the Watry Triplicity, or of thofe
Signes s HI or X. ~
Againe, let the Lord of the hour be d", and T afeend, the
Queftion fhall be radicall, becaufe c? is both Lord of the hour
and Signe afeending. ^
12 2 An latroduBion to ASirologie
Let the Lord of the hour be d" 5 and let the Signe SI afcend,
here, although the © is one of the Lords of the fiery Triplici-
ty, and foie Lord of the Signe SI,, yet ftiall the Queftion be
judged j becaufe the © , who is Lord of the Af Cendant, and cf
who is Lord of the hour, are both of one nature, viz. Hot
and Dry.
When either oo. degrees, or the firfi or fecond degrees of a
Signe afcend (efpecially in Signes of fhort afcentions, viz. v?
xz K V b' H, you may not adventure judgment, unlefle the
Querent be very young, and his corporature, complexion and
moles or fcarres of his body agree with the quality of the Signe
afcendirtg. .-v
If 27, 28, or 2^ degrees afcend of any Signe, it*s no wayes
fafeto give judgment, except the Qjierent be in yeers corref-
ponding to the number of degrees amending; or unlefle the
Figure be let upon a time certaine, viz♦ a man went away or
fled at fuch a time precife j here you may judge, becaufe it’s no
propounded queftion, •
l€$ not fafe to judge when the 2> is in the later degrees of
Signe, efpecially in H M or vy.5 or as fome fay, when (he is m
ViartCQmbuffd> which is, when (he is in the laft 15 degrees of & ,
or the firft fifteen degrees of nt.
All manner of matters goe hardly on (except the principal!
feyificators be very ftrong) when the 3> is voyd of courfe; yet
iomewhatftie performesif voydof courfe, and be either in b
2? x71 or K t
You mu ft alfo be wary, when in any queftion propounded
you find the Gulp of the feventh houfe affixed, or the Lord of
that houfe Retrograde or impedited, and the? matter at that
not concerning the feventh houfe, but belonging to any
other houfe, it's an argument the judgment of theAftrologer
will give fmall content, or any thing pleafe the Querent 5 for
the feventh houfe generally hath fignification of the Artift.
The Arabianss as Alkindus and others, doe deliver thefe fol¬
lowing rules, as very fit to be confidered before a Queftion be
judged. r ' ' ' '■ : . ' .Y

I2 In the feventh either corrupts the judgement of tlie Atfro-
legery or is a Signe the matter propounded will come from one
misfortune to another*
If the Lord of the Afcendant be ComBuft, neither queftion
propounded will take, or the Querent be regulated.
The Lord of the feventh unfortunate, or in his fall, or
Termes of the Infortunes, the Artiji fliall fcarce .give a folid
judgment.
When the teftimonies of fortunes and lnfortunes are equal,
deferre judgment, it’s not poftlble to know which way the Ba¬

then an enemy verily; if of a friendly houfe, a friend: The
whole natural! key of all Aftrology refteth in the words pre-
ceding lightly underftood : By the Examples following I fhall
make all things more plain 5 for I doe not defire,or will referve
any thing whereby the Learner may be kept in fufpence of
right underftanding what is ufefull for him, and moft fit to be
knowne..
In every queftion we doe give the 3> as a Cofignificator with the
querent or Lord of the AYcendant (fbme have alfo allowed the
Planet from whom the j feparated as a fignificator 5 which I no
way approve of, or in my praftice could ever find any Verity
therein.) J
In like manner they Joyned in judgment the Planet to whom
the J> apply ed at time of the queftion, as Cofignificator with the
Lord of the houfe of the thing quefited, or thing demanded.
. Having .well confidefed the leverall applications and fepara-
tio»s of the Lords of thofe houfes fignifying your queftion, as
alfo the }) ,the Scite of Heaven and quality of the afpeft the 2> , .

or the thing demanded fhall be accomplifhed yea or nof.
Firft, by Conjunction when as therefore you find the Lord of cinjunSioru
the Afcendant,and Lord of that honfe which fignifies the thing
demanded, haftening to a d, and in the firft ho life, or in any
Angle, and the ffgnifoaters meet with no prohibition or rcfrena-
t forty before they come to perfeft d ; you may then judge, that
the thing fought after, (hall be brougnt to paffe without any
manner of let or impediment, the foOner, if the Significators be
fwift in motion, and Effentially or Accidentally ftrong; but
if this d of the Significators be in a Succcdant houfe, it will be
perfeied,bat not fo foon: if in Cadent houfes, with infinite
Ioffe of time, fome difficulty, and much ftrugling. ■
Things are alfo brought to a paffe, when as the principal! ^
fignifiers apply by ^ or A afpeft out of good Houfes and pla- or ^ *
ccs where they are eflentially well dignified (and meet with
no malevolent Afpeft to intervene ere they come to be in per-
fe& ^ or a ; I meaneto thepardll Sextill or Tryne.
Things are alfo produced to perfe&ion, when the Signifi- ^
cators apply by □ afpeft, provided each Planet have dignity ar^ <P •
in the Degrees wherein they arc, and apply out of proper and
good Houfes, otherwife not. Sometimes it happens, that a
matter is brought to paffe when the Significators have apply-
ed by cP, but it hath been, when there hath been mutual 1 re*
ception by Houfe, and out offriendly Houfes, and the }) fepe-
rating from the Significator of the thing demanded, and ap¬
plying prefently to the Lord of the Afeendant, I have rarely
(een any thing brought to perfe£tibn by this way of oppoliti-
on; but the Querent had been better the thing had been un¬
done : for if the Q^ieftion was concerning Marriage, the par¬
ties feldome agreed,but were ever wrangling and jangling,each 5
party repining at hite evil! choyce,laying the blame upon their
covetous Parents, as having no minde to it themfelves : and if
the QJjefiion was aboutTortion or Monies, the querent did
its true, recover his Money or Portion promifed, but it coft
him more to procure it in fuit of Law, then the debt was
worth, &c. and fo have I feen it happen in many other
things, See.
Things are brought to perfection by Transition of Light Tranflation*'
rnatd Nainre, in this manner* ' When
 When the Significator* both of Querent and Quefited are fepa-
rated from d or ^ or A afpeCts of each other, and fome one
Planet or other doth feparate himfelfe from one of the Signifi-
cators, of whom he is received either by Houfe, Triplicityor
Terme, and then this Planet doth apply to the other Signified.-
tor by d or afpeCt, before he meeteth with the cf orafpeCfc of
any other Planet, he then tran dates the force, influence and
vertue of the firft Significator to the other, and then this inter¬
vening Planet (or fuch a man or woman as is fignified by that
Planet) fhall bring the matter in hand to perfection.
Confider what houfe the Planet interpofing or tranflating
the nature and light of the two Planets is Lord of,and deferibe
him or her, and fay to the party, that fuch a party fhall doe
good in the bufinefie of, &c. viz. if Lord of the fecond, a good
Purfe effeCts the matter j if Lord of the third, aKinfmanor
Neighbour; and fo of all the reft of the Houfes: of which more
fhall be faid in the following Judgments.
Matters are alfo brought to perfection, when as the two
principall Significators doe not behold one another, but both
caft their feverallAfpeCts to a more weighty Planet then them-*
felves, and they both receive him in fome of their effentiall
dignities ; then fhall that Planet who thus collects both their
Lights, bring the thing demanded to perfection: which fig-
nifies no more in Art then this, that a Perfon fomewhat inte-
reffed in both parties and deferibed and fignified by that Pla¬
net, fhall perfornie, effeCt and conclude the thing which other*
wayes could not be perfected : As many times you fee two fall
at variance, and of themfelves cannot think of any way ofao*
commodation, when fuddenly a Neighbour or friend acciden¬
tally reconciles all differences, to the content of both parties:
And this is called ColleHion•
Laftly, things are fometimes perfected by the dwelling of
Planets in houfes,z>i&.when the Significator of the thing deman¬
ded is,cafpally pofited in the Afcendant; as if one demand
if he fhall obtaine fuch a Place or Dignity, if then the Lord
of the tenth be placed in the Afcendant, he fhall obtaine the
Benefit, Office, Place or Honour defired ; This rule of the An¬
cients holds not true, or is confentanious to reafon: except

they will admit, that when the 1 , befides this dwelling in
houfe, doth transferre the light of the Signified or of the thing
defired, to the Lord of the Afeendant; for it was well cbferved
that the applictaion of the Sigmficators (hew inclination of the
parties, but reparation ufually privation ; that is, in more
plaine termes, when you fee the principall Significators of the.
Querent, and thing or party qnefited after feperated,there's then
little hopes of the effeftingor perfe&ing what is deilred, ('not-
withftanding this dwelling in houfesj but if there be applica¬
tion the parties feeme willing, and the matter is y et kept on
foot, and there is great probability of perfetting it, or that
things will come to a further treaty.
In all Queftions you are generally to obferve this Method
following. , . . , _ ,
A s the Afeendant reprefents the perfon of the Querent, and
the lecond his Eftate, the third his Kinred, the fourth his
Father, the fifth his Children, the fixth his Servant or Si ck-
neffe, the feventh his Wife, the eight the manner of his Death,
the ninth his Religion or journeys, the tenth his Eftimation
or hnour, the eleventh his Friends, the twelfth his iecret E-

ne So you muft alfo underftand, that when one askes concer¬

ning a Woman or any party fignified by the feventh Houfe and
the Lord thereof, that then the 7* Houfe fhall be her Afeen¬
dant and fignifie her perfon, the eight Houfe (hall fignifie her

Motion, or Angular, especially inthefirft houfe, (for in this
otieftion he is bell daced therein^ or tenth* or elfe in the ele-

the ®, or in the Termes of X and $ , it's an argument of

Health and long life to the Qjerent^ for the Lord of the Afcen-
dant, or Afcendant it felfe unfortunate or D in bad houfes affi-
Signs. contra- ^€W milchiefe at hand ; the aforefaid ftgnificators free, ar-
rj, viz. of gue the contrary : for as you confider the Lord of the Afcen-
Sickwjfe} dant, fo the Afcendant is to be considered, and what afpeft is
Deatbi&c* caft unco viz. good or evill.and by what Planet or Planets,
Misfortune, anc} 0f what houfe or houfes they are Lords of.
It’s generally received, that if the Lord of the Afcendant be
under the Sun beams, or going to Combuftion, which is worfe
then when he is departing, or the D cadent and unfortunated
by any of thole Planets who have dominion in the eighth or
fixth, and either the T? or in the Afcendant or feventh
houfe, peregrine or in their detriments, or retrograde, or if
there be in the degree afeending, or in th it degree of the Signs
wherein the Lord of t he Afcendant is, or with the yj , or with
that Planet who affli&s any of thofe; I fay, any fixed Starre of
violent influence or nature of the Planet affli&ing, or nature
oftheLordof the eighth or fixth houfe, then you may judge
the Querent is not long lived,burneer forne danger,or fhall un-
dergoe fome misfortune in one kind or other, according to the
quality of the fignificator and fignification of that or thole hoa-
fes they are Lords of.

"The time when any of tbefe Accidents fhall happen,

Y O U muft fee if the Lord of the Afcendant be going to

Combuftion, or to cP or d of the Lord of the eighth or
fourth, how many degrees he is diftant from the © , or Lord
of the eighth or fourth, and in what Signe either of them are
In 5 if the fpace betwixt them be eight degrees, and in a com¬
mon Signe, it denotes fo many moneths * if in a fixed Signe, fo
s&any yeers, if in moveable, fo many weeks : this is onely for
example.

example, and in generall * for the meafiireof time muh be limi¬
ted according to the other Jignificators concurring in judgment
herein.
Secondly, having confidered the Lord of the Afcendant, fee
how many degrees the is alfo diiiant from any Infortune, or
from the Lords of the fixth or eighth, and in what Signe or
Signes, their Nature, Quality and Houle wherein they are
politcd.
Thirdly, confider if there bean Infortune in the Afcendant,
how many degrees the Cufp of the houfe wants of that degree
the unfortunate Planet is in, or if the unfortnnUting Planet be
in the feventh, how many degrees the Afcendant wants of his
true Opposition, and compute the time of Death, SicknelTe or
Misfortune- according to the dimenfipn of degrees in Signes
moveable, common, or fixed.
If you find the Lord of the Afcendant affli&ed mod of all by
the Lord of the fixt, and in the fixt, or if the Lord of the A f-
emdant'come to Combuftion in the fixt, you may judge the
Querent will have very many and tedious ficknefies, which will
fcarce leave him till his death; and the more certain your judg¬
ment will be, if the Lord of t he Afcendant, and Lord of the
eighth and the D be all placed in the fixth.
If you find the Lord of the Afcendant, the Signe afcending,
or D moll: principally impedited or unfortunated by the Lord
of the eighth, or that Planet who affli&s your ftgnificators out
of the eighth, then you ,may judge that the Sincknefle with
which he is now affli&ed, or is fhoitly to be troubled withal],
will end him, and that his death is approaching or that death
is threatned. .
But if you find that the Lord of the Afcendant, or Signe of
the Afcendant, or the J) are chiefly afiiided by the Lords of
fome other houfes, you (hall judge his misfortune from the na¬
ture of the houfe or houfes whereof the Planet or Planets affii-
fting are Lords* and the firft original thcrcof,or difeovery,fha31
be fignifted from fomething,Man or Woman, &c.bdonging to
that houfe wherein you find the Planet affii&ing pofited, and
thereby you fhall judge a misfortune and not death : The fx.*d

You mu ft carefully avoid pronouncing Death raftily, and

of the Afcendant be going to Combuftion, whether either %

Ii&come to perfed Combuftion, or any other infortune, for
that is an argument that either Medicine or ftrength of Na¬
ture will contradid that malignant influence, or take off part
of that misfortune 5 but when you find two or more of the
rales aforefaid concurring to death, you may be more bold in
your Judgment: yet concerning the abfolute time of death
©f any party, I have found it beft to be wary, and have as
much as I could, refrained this manner of judgment ; onely>
thus-mueh by the Q^ieftion may be knowne, that if you find
thsfegmficatorsi as aforefaid, afflided, you may judge the man
or party inquiring to be no long lived man,or fubjed to many
mileries and calamities, and this I know by many verified ex-*
amples : the knowledge hereof is of excellent ufeforfuch as

To what fart of Heaven its beft the Querent dirett his Affaires 3
or wherein he may live moft happily.

You muft know that the twelve Houfes are divided into the
£aft. Weft,North and South quarters of Heaven.
The-Cufpe of the firft Houfe is the beginning of the Eaffi,
and
 all manner ofQuefxions. 12
and its called the Eaft Angle, from the Degree of the firft ho
to the Degree or Cufpe of the tenth Houle or Medium Cceli^con-
taining the 12,11, and tenth Houles, are Eaft, inclining to
the South : from the Cufpe of the tenth Houle to the Cufpe of
the leventh Houfe, containing the 9,8, and 7, is South, verg¬
ing towards the Weft : from the degree of the leventh Houle
to the Cufpe of the fourth Houfe, conlifting of the <5, 5, and
fourth houfes, is the Weft, tending to the North : from the
Degree of the fourth Houfe to the Degree of the Afcendant,
containing the 3, 2, and firft Houfes, is North inclining to the
Eaft.
Having viewed the feveral! quarters of Heaven, fee in which
of them you finde the Planet that promiferh the Querent nioft
good, and where you finde V 9 3> or ®, or two or more of
them, to that quarter direft your affaires* and if you have the
part of Fortune and the 3) free from Combuftion and other
rnisfortuneSjgo that wayes, or to that quarter of heaven where
you finde her * for you muft conlider, that though If and 9 be •
Fortunes, yet cafually they may be Infortunes, when they are
Lords of the 8, 12, or 6. in that cafe you muft avoyd the quar¬
ter they are in, and obferve the ® and the 3) and Lord of the
Afcendant* and as neere as you can avoyd that quarter of
Heaven where the infortunes are, elpecially when they are fig-
nificators of mifehiefe, otherwayes either d* or T? being Lord
of the Afcendant or fecond Houfe, tenth or eleventh,may (be¬
ing eflentially ftrongjprove friendly. The generallfway of re-
folving this Queftion is thus 5 If the Querent doe onely delire
to live where he may enjoy moft health, looke in what Signe
and quarter of Heaven the Lord of the Afcendant and 3) are in,
and which of them are ftrongeft, and doth eaft his or her more
friendly Afpcft to the Degree afeending * to that quarter of
Heaven repaire for Healths fake : If the Querent delire to know
to what part he may ftecr his courfefor obtaining of an Eftate
or Fortune, then fee where and in what quarter of Heaven the
Lord of the fecond is placed, and the ®, and his Diffiofitor or
two of them* for where and in what quarter they are bell: for¬
tified, from thence may he expeft his moft advantage, &g. Of 5

See either in what Angle or quarter of Heaven the fortunate

and promiiing Planets are pofited in3 for in this way of Judi-
eatore, we give ufually to every houfe five yeers,but fomedmes
more or lefte, according as you fee the ftgnificators promiiing
Life or Death, (but commonly five yeers we give) beginning
with the twelfth, and fo to the eleventh, then the tenth, then
the ninth, &c. and fo to the Afcendant 3 as if in your Queflion
you find X or 9 in the eleventh or tenth houfe, you may judge
the Man or Woman to have lived happily from the lift yeer of
his age to the fifteenth, or in his youth : if they, or either of
thern^ be in the eighth or feventh, they declare that from twen¬
ty to thirty he will, or hath lived, and may live contentedly :
if ^ or 9 be in the 6. 5. or 4, then judge after his middle age,
or from 30. to 45. he may do very well: if you find % or 9 in
third, fecond or firft, then his beif dayes, or his greateft happi-
neffe will be towards his old age, or after he is forty five untill
( fixty 3 if you find the ftgnificators of Life very ftrong, a nd figni-
| fying long Life, you may addc one yeer to every houfe, for it’s
lj then p0flible the Querent may live more then fixty yeers, or un-
) till feventy, or more, as many we know doe.

London South-eaft 4 South* becaufe the quarter of Heaven where¬
in the Lord of the AfCendant is in, is South : Eaft, becaufe the

was but two degr.i a,n« diftant from the Culp of the ninth, he
went away within two moneths jfor ® was 4. 18 T.

1 judged thole Countries fubjeft to the Signe of V , might be
fuitable and propitious to his Affaires ; which you may fee in
the nasure of T pag, 95. and what their Names are, to which I
-now refer you. .
•Had his refutation been to have ftaid in England, the and
v® being both in T, (hew it might have been good for him,
Tor England is fubjeft to T ; I wouldhave advifed him to have
fleered his courft* of life towards Kent9 Ejfexi Sujfex9 or Suffolk.*
for they lye Eaft or by South from London ; but if fometimes
you find that a City, Towne or Kiogdome fubje$: to the Code-
fiiall Signe which promifeth you good, hands not, as to the
quarter of Heaven, direftly as you would have it, or as the Signe
points it out} herein you mu ft obferve this general! rule 5 That
if your occafions enforce you, or you {hall and mu ft live in that
Country, City or Towne, fo dire&ed unto youin^rf, that
then you muft lead your Life,or dire& your a&ions, or manage
vour imploymems to thofe parts of that City or Country
which lye Eafty TFefe North or South, as in the Figure you were
dire&ed as for Example 5 You may fee France is fubjeft to the

Confldering the two Fortunes were placed in the tenth houfe,

andthat €1 and ® were in the ninth, I judged his younger
yeers would be the moft pleafant of all his whole Ife * feeing
alfo d" in the eighth houfe, which according to our owne di-
re&ion of time comes to be about the 24, 25, or 26. of his
age ; I judged that about thofe times he had many erodes, or
firft of all his affli&ions then began 5 and feeing further no for¬
tunate Planet was either in the feventh, fixth, fifth, fourth or
third houfes, 1 judged the remainder of his life for many yeers
would belittle comfortable unto him, but full of labour and
trouble ; yet I judged thofe Calamities or Misfortunes fhould
notfuddenly come upon him,becaufe the 3) was in application
to a A of % , and wanted almoft: three degrees of comming to
his perfect afpeft 5 wherfore I conceived by means of fome man
in authority reprefented by X , or fome Courtier or perfon of
quality, for almoft three yeers after the propofall of the Qkz*-
fticn> he fhould be fupport?d and affifted in his affaires, or elfe
get Imployment anfwerable to his defires; had V been Effenti^
tially. fortified, I fhould have Judged him a more durable
fortune.

What general! Accidents bad baffened already%

Although it is notufuall to be fo n»ce or inquifitive, yet fee¬

ing the Quefiion fo radicall, I firft confidered from what Pla*
net or Planets the ®, who is Lord of the Afcendant^ had laft fe-*
parated 5 if you look into the Epbemertfot that yeere, you (ball
fed, that the ® had lately, during his paffage through the
 all manner ofQuejlions.
Signe K ,been firft in d with d ,then in □ of T? ,lately in of
X ; now, for that & in our Figure is Lard of the fourth houfe,
ftmifywfr Landsy &e. and was now locally in the eighth, v/hich
hgnifies the fu bit a nee of Women, I judged he had been molefted
of late concerning fome Lands, or the Jointure or Portion of his
Wife,or a Woman : wherein I was confirmed the more, becaufe
the D was alfo applying to an c? of <3% in this Figure placed
in the eighth hotde^ for the }) being in the Querents houfe of
fubftance, viz. the fecond, intimated the Qjiarrell or Strife
fhould be for, or concerning Money > or fuch things as are figni-
fied by that houfe : [ And this was very true.']
Becaufe ® had lately been in n of 7?, who is Signified or of
the Querent’s Wife, I told him I feared his Wife and he had
lately been at great variance ; and becaufe L her Significator did
difpole of his Part of Fortune,1 judged (he had no mind he fhould
have any of her Eftate, or manage it, but kept it to her owne
ufe; for L is Retrograde, a fuperiour Planet, and in a fiery
Signe, and the Signe of the feventh is fixed ; thefe (hew her a
yiugo, or a gallant fpirited Woman, and not willing to be
curbed, or elfe to fubmic: [Shis was corfcjff] _ ,
Laftly5becaufe ® was lately in with X ,and X was in the * m
tenth j 1 told him, either fome great Lawyer or Courtier had en- Lo)^ Uo"
deavoured to reconcile the differences betwixt them; and foraf- V(ntiy*
much as both the ® who was his Significator^ and T? who was

prefent a willingnefFe in both Parties to be reconciled ; nor did
T fee any great obHruftion in the matter, exeept 5 who is in □
afpeft with h , did impedite it; I judged 5 in the general!,- to
hgnifie either fome Attourney, or Lawyer, or Writings; but as he
is Lord of the Qumnis fecond, it might be becaufe the Querent
would not confent to give or allow fuch a fumtne of Money as
might be demanded, or that the Qtierenls purfe was fo weak, he
had not wherewithall to folicite his caufe luftiiy * or as 5 is
Lord of the eleventh houfe, fome pretended friend would im¬
pedite her, or advife the contrary, or Tome of her Lawyers; or
as the eleventh is the fifth from the feventh, a Child of the
Querent's Wife might be dccafion of continuing the Breach. II

In this Quere, I firft confidered the ® Lord of the Afcendrtnu

who being no lyayes unfortunated, or in any evill afpeA with
any lanet, which might impeach or impedite him, but on the
contrary excellently fortified, I judged, he had the wide world
to ramble m, (for a Planet Itrong, and in no afpeft with others
fhewes a man at liberty to doe what he will; ) and that for
many yeers he might (quoad cafax) live in a profperous condi-
tion (according to the preceding limitation) and traverfe much
ground, or fee many Countries ; becaufe r ,the Signe wherein
the ■© is in, is moveable, placed on the Cufp of the ninth, fig-
n.fymg long Journeys, which prenoted many turnings and
fhiftmgs, variety ofaftion in ftindry parts*
Secondly, I obferyed the D in the Quer n's houCe of fub-
funce,w«. the fecond, did apply to % in the tenth houfe, and
that Y- was Lord of the fifth houfe and eighth: the fifth houfe
ngnines Children; the eighth denotes the fubftance of the Wife :
rom hence I gathered, that the Querent was very delirous to
(brne pieman (becaufe tf. is |n the tenth) about
the Education of his Child or Children, and that there might
w- aryTP-yab 6 f°r thdrfo breedin§ and education, out of

But as the ® at time of the Queftion was ftrong, he did • l

ployment on his Majefties part: but as the 7 is in cP to cT 5 fo
it was not without the gencrall out-cry and exclamations of
the people *, nor was it his fortune, though in great Com¬
mands, ever to doe his Ma jefty any notable piece of Service 5

prived of fo much happineffe as to. end his dayes in England ; 1

If upon the firft: quarter, in the fourth houfe.
If upon the full 7 , in the feventh houfe.

eafily fie his errour; ev r remembring, that the more dayes are
paffed after the change i r quarter, &c. the more remote the ®

T H E AjCendant and his Lord are for the Querent, the feventh

this is underftood, if you goe to fpeak with one you familiarly
deale withall, or are much converfant with* and is not allied
unto you, &c. but if you would goe to fpeak with the Father,
you muft take the Lord of the fourth 5 if with the Mother,
the Lord of the tenth; if the Father would fpeak with his
Child, the Lord of the fifth, and fo in the reft ; vary your rule
and it ferves for all.
If the Lord of the feventh houfe be in any of the four Angles,
you may conclude the party is at home with whom you would
fpeak with 5 but if the Lord of the feventh, or Lord of that
houfe from whom Judgment is required, be in any Succedant
houfe, viz, the eleventh, lecond, fifth or eighth, then he is not
far from home j but if his Si^nificator be in a Cadent houfe,then
he is far from home.
If you find the Lord of the Afcendant applying to the Lord

intend to goe vifit him, you may be aflfured either to meet him
going to his houfe, or heare of him by the way where he is,

What Marfa Mole or Scarre the Querenthath in any

1 have many times admired at the verity hereof, and it hath

been one maine argument of my engaging fo farre in all the
parts of Aftrology, for very rarely you (hall find theft rules '
faile. I
When you have upon any demand erefted the querents Fi¬
gure, con llder the Sign aftendiag, what member of mans body
it repreftnts, and tell the querent he hath a Mole, Scar or marke .*•
on that part of his body reprefented by that Signe ; as if the
Signe aftending be , itfs bn t he Neck : if in H , on the Arms*
Ss altb Li v.u ch of the twelve Signes of the Zodiack the
 s manner of QueftionfJ 149 j
Jbordof the Afcend.wt is in, and in that member reprefented
fey that Signe, he or fhe hath another.
Then obferve the Signe defeendfng on the Cufp of the fixe
houfe, and what part of mans body it perfonates> for in that
member (ball you find another; fo (hall yon difcover another
in that member which is fignified by the Signe wherein the
Lord of the fixt is. , ^
Lad of all,confider what Signe the Moon is in, and what
member of mans body it denotes, therein dial! you alfo find a
Mark, Mole or Scarre : if h figmfiethe Mark, it*s a darkifH,
obfeure, black one; if c?, then it’s ufually fome Scarre or Cut
if he be in a fiery Signe, or elfe in any other Signe, a red m ole ;
and you muft alwayes know, that if either the Signe, or the
Planet fignifying the Mole, Mark or Scarre, be much affli&ed,
the Mark or Scarre is the greater and more eminent.
If the Signe beMafculine, -and the Planet Mafculine, the
Mole or Scar is on the right fide of the body.
The contrary judge, if the Signe be Feminine, and the Lord
thereofin a Feminine Signe,
If the Significator of the Scarre or Mole be above the earth,
(chit is, from the Cufp of the Alcendanc to the Cufp of the fe-
venth, as either in the twelfth, eleventh, tenth, ninth, eighth
or feventh) the Mark is on the forepart of the body, or via¬

ble to the eye, or on the out* fide of the member; but if the Sig¬
nificator be under the earth, -viz* in the firfi, fecond, third,
fourth, fift, fixt, the Mole or Scarre is on the back part of die
body, not vifible, but on the in fide of the member.
If few degrees of a Signe doe alcend, or if the Lord of the
Signe be in few degrees, the Mole, Mark or Scarre is in the up¬
per part of the member * if the middle of the Signe afeend, or
the Lord thereof in the middle,or neer the middle of the Signe,
the Mole or Mirk is fo in the member, viz. in the middle : If
the latter degrees afeend, or the or Lord of the firft or
fixt houfe be neer the laft degrees of the Sign, the Mole,Mark
or Scir is rieere the lo wer part of the member.
If your Qnedion be radical!, the time rightly takert, and the
party e&cjuiring be of fufficient age, or no Infant, you (hall
rarely find errour in this rule: I have many times upon a fud-
150 alntton of ^
den in company, tryed this experiment up m fome of the com¬
pany, and ever found it true, as many in this Gity well know.
In November and December y when Sigr.es of fhort afcenfcions are
in the Afeendant, you muft be wary, for in regard many times
the ® is not then vifible, and Clocks may faile, it’s poftible
you may be deceived, andmiffeof a right Afeendant, for X
and T doe each of them afcend in the fpacc of three quar¬
ters of an hour, and fome few minutes; vz and in one
hour and fome odde minutes; but if you have the time of
the day exafr, you need not ever miftruft the verity of your
Judgment: which will infinitely fatisfie any that are Students
herein, and caufe them to take great pleafure in the Art^ and
make them fenfible, that there is as much fincerity in all the
whole Art of Atfrologie, when it is rightly underftood and pra-
dized, which at this day I muft confeifeit is by very few.
As thefie rules will hold certaine upon the body of every que¬
rent ^ and in every queftion, fo will they upon the body of the
quefned, (mutatis, mutandis '■>} as if one.enquires fomewhat
concerning his Wife5 then the Signe of the feventh houfe, and
the Signe wherein the Lord of the feventh is, fhall fhew the
Womans Marks 5 fo (hall the Signe upon the Cufp of the
twelfth, for that is the fixth from the feventh, and the Signe
wherein the Lord of the twelfth is in, fhew two more Moles
or Marks of the Woman.
Ufinally an Infortune in the Afeendant blemifhes the Face
with fome Mole or Scarre according to his nature, for the firft
houfe fignifies the Face, the fecond the Neck, the third the
Armes and Shoulders, the fourth the Breft and Paps, the fifth
the Heart, 8tc. and fo every houfe and Signe in order, accor¬
ding to fucceffion ; for what Signe foever is in the Afeendant,
yet in every Queftion the firft houfe reprefents the Face : Many
times if the ]> be in d or cP of the © , the querent hath fome
blemifh or the like near one of his Eyes 5 and this is ever true, .
if the cf or d' be in Angles, and either of them have any ill
afpeft to Mars* fi

JVbetkt
 If a Queftion be demanded of one a!)lent in a general! way,
and the querent hath no relation to the party; then the firft
Houfe, the Lord of that Houfe and the > (hall lignifie the ab-
fent party; the Lord of the eight Houfe or Planet pofited ei¬
ther in the Houle or within five degrees of the Cufpe of the 8th
Houfe (hall (hew his death or its quality.
In judging this Qneftion, lee firft whether the Lord of the
Afcendant, the J> and Lord of the eight Houfe or Planet in the
eight houfe be corporally joyned together; or that the 2>
Lord of the Alcendant and Lord of the eight are in oppolition
either in the eight and lecond, or twelfth and fixt,for thefe are"
arguments the party is deceafed,or fick,and very neer death.
See alfo if there be any tranflation of the light of the Lord
of the Afcendartt unto the Lord of the eight, efpecially in de¬
grees deepe, lame or deficient; or on the contrary, that there
be any tranflation or carrying the vertue or influence of the
Lord of the eight unto the Lord of the Afcendant; or if. the
Lord of the eight be pofited in the Afcendant,or if the Lord of
the Afcendant ahd the D be placed in the fourth Houfe, thefe
are teftimonies the party abfent is dead.
If the Lord of the Afcendant be leperated from a bad Afpeft
of the Lord of the fixt, you may fay the abfent hath been late-
1v ficke t if from the Lord of the eight, he hath been in danger
Sf death, but is not dead; if from the Lord of the twelfth, he-
hath been lately much troubled in minde, in feare ol imprifon-
ment, arrefts,8tc. if from the Lord of the fecond,he hath been
hard put to it for money, or in diftrefie for want; if from the
L»ffd of thefeventh, in forne quarrel! or contention; if from
the Lord of the ninth or third, he hath been crofled in his
iourney (if he was at Sea by contrary windes,or Pyrats)rf at
Land by Theeves, bad Wayes, &c. and fo of the reft. In judg¬
ing this queftion, I have ever found, that if the Lord of the
Afcendant be in the ninth, tenth, or eleventh (though many
reports went the abfent was dead)yet I found him to lxve.Now
=fy0U finde the abfent alive, and you would* know,when hap-

T ., . ^ . j
HE Ancients doe put this Queftion to thofe concerning
• j

the ninth houfe, and I conceive for no other reafon, theft

becaufe it mull be granted* that all Ships are made for Travel!
and Journeys: however, in regard the mod part of the Judg¬
ment concerning its fafety or ruine is derived from the Afcen-
dant and his Lord, and the 2> ,1 thought fit to place this Judg¬
ment as belonging to the firft houfe.
Generally, the Signe amending and the 2> are Significators of
the Ship, and what Goods are in her, the Lord of the Afcen-
dant of thofe that faile in her : if in the Queftion demanded
you find all thefe unfortunate, that is, if a malevolent Planet
by pofition be placed in the Afcendant*/Ke having dignities in
the eighth: or if you find the Lord of the Afcendant in the
eighth, in any ill configuration with the Lord of the eighth*
twelfth, fourth or fixth, or the 2) combufi, or under the eartfv *
you may judge the Ship is* loft, and the nien drowned, (unleffe
you find reception betwixt themfelves) for then the Ship was
cafually Shipwrackt, aftd fome of the Sea-men did efcape : but
if you find the preceding Significators all of them freefrom mif-
fortune, both Men and Goods are all fafe $ the more fafe if any
reception be. But if the Afcendant and the 2> be infortunate*
and the Lord of the Afcendant fortunate, the Ship is like to be
drowned, but the men will be faved : Some for better know¬
ledge and difcovery of what part of the Ship was like to be
freeft fromdanger* have divided the feverall parts of the Ship*;
and have^figaed to every of the twelve Signes, a part or place
 The Refoltttiotiof
'of the Ship, by which if any damage was to come to the Ship*
"they could or might better prevent it.

Vnto Aries they give the Breft of the Ship*

to Taurus what is under the Breft a little towards the Water*
to Geminis the Roother or Sterne of the Ship.
To Cancer the Bottome or Floor of the Ship*
To- Leo the top of the Sltif above Water.
To Virgo the Belly of it.
To Libra that part which fometimes is aboye3 and feme times below the
Water, or betwixt Wind and Weather.
To Scorpio that part where the Seamen are lodged, or doe their Office*
To Sagitarius the Mariners themfelvesm
to Capricornus the ends of the Ship,
to Aquarius the MaHer or Captaine of the Ship*
to Pilces the Oates.

At the time when the Queftion is asked concerning the well

or ill being of the Ship, fee which of theft Signes, or how ma¬
ny of them are fortunate, or hath the 7) or the Lord thereof
fortunate* it’s an argument thofe parts of the Ship fo fignified,
will have no defe&, or need repaire thereof, or -the Ship will
receive any detriment in thofe parts : but which.of theft Signes
you find unfortunate, or in what Signe you find theor Lord
of the Signe where fhe is, unfortunate, in that place or part of
the Ship afligne impediment and misfortune, and thereof give
warning.
But when the Querent (hall demand of any Ship which is fet*
ting forth, and the State of that Ship ere fhereturne, and what
may be hoped of her in her Voyage, then behold the Angles of
the Figure, and fee if the fortunate Planets are therein pofited,
or falling'into Angle$,and the Ihfortuiies remote from Angle*!
Cadent, Combuft or under the © Beanies, then you may judge
. ^ the Ship will goe fafe to the place intended,with all the Goods
and Loading in her : But if you find the InfortUnes in Angles,
or fucceeding Houfes, there wifi chance fome hinderance unto
the Ship, and it (hall be in that part which the Sigfce fignifies
where die unfortunate Planet is $ if the fame Infortune be$>,
x " • the
 all manner ofOnefrion/. I$9
the Ship willbeipUt, and the men drowned, or receive hurt by
fome bruife, or running a ground : but if it be d*, and he in
any of his Effemiall Dignities,or behold a place where he hath
any Dignity or be in an earthly Signe, he (hall then (ignifie the
fame which F did, or very great danger and damage to the
Ship : But if the Fortunes caft their benevolent rayes or afpeft
to the places where d" or 7? are,and theLords of the four Angles
of the Figure,and efpecially,or more properly,the Afcendant,
and Lord of that houfe or Signe where the j) is in be free, then
it’s an argument, the Ship (hall labour hard, and differ much
damage, yet notwithftanding the greater part both of Goods
and Men (hall be predrved. But if d* doe afflict the Lords of
the Angles, and Difpofitor of the 2> , the Mariners will be in
great feare of their Enemies,or of Pyrates or Sea-robbers, (hall
even tremble for feare of them : and if there alfo unto this evil!
configuration chance any other affii&ion in the Signes, there
will happen amongft the Mariners Blood-(hed, Controverfies,
quarrelling one with another, theeving and robbing each
other, purloyning the Goods of the Ship ; and this judgment
will prove more certaine if the unfortunate Planets be in the
Signes which fall to be in the Divifion of the upper part of the
Ship, towards the height or top of her.
If F in the like nature doe amid, as was before recited of d* ,
there will be many thefts committed in the Ship,but no blood¬
ied ; the Goods of the Ship con fume, no body knowing
which way. > .
If the unfortunate Signes {viz. thofe which are affii&ed by
die prefence of F d' or'tf) be thofe which fignifie the bottome
or that part of the Ship which is under Water, its an argu¬
ment of the breaking and drowning thereof, or receiving fome
dangerous Leak : if the Signes fo unfortunate be in the Mid-
heaven, and unfortunate them, it?s like the Ship will be
burnt by fire, thunder or lightning, or matter falling out of
the Aire into the Ship’l this (hall then take place when the
Signes are fiery, and neer violent fixed Stars*
If that Signe wherein <? of the unfortunate Planet be the'
Slone of the fourth houfe, it notes firing of the Ship in the bot*
hi * but if * be there, and the Signe humane, viz.
either
160 %he Refolutim of
cither H tfs or ss , that fire or burning of the Ship flullpro°
cecd from a fight with Enemies, or they fhall caft fire into her*
or fhall teare the Ship in pieces in grapling with her, and the
fire fhall in that part of the Ship firft take hold, fignified by
the Signe wherein an Infortune was at-time of asking the
Queftion.
If 7? inftead of d” doe denunciate dammage, and be placed in
the Mid-heaven, the Ship fhall receive prejudice by contrary
Winds, and by leaks in the Ship, by rending or uling of bad
Sailes ; and this misfortune (hall be greater or lelTer, according
to the potency of the fignificator of that misfortune,and remote-
nelie of the Fortune?.
If the fame Infortune be inthefeventh houfe, and he be T? ,
the latter part of the Ship will be in danger of misfortune, and
the Sterne of the Ship will be broke.
Moreover, if any Infortune be in the Afcendant, fome lofie
will be in the fore-part of the Ship, greater or leffe, according
to the quality or ftrength of the fgnipaDr thereof; or if the
Lord of the Afcendant be Retrograde, the Ship will proceed
forward a while, but either returne or put into forae Harbour
within a little time after her letting forth; and if the Lord
of the Afcendant be in a moveable Signe and Retrograde, and
the Lord of the fourth alfo, viz. Retrograde, the Ship will re¬
turne againe croffed by contrary Winds, to the very Port from
which Ihe firft fet out: and if the Lord of the Afcendant have
no other impediments then Retrogradation, there will be no
lofie by the returne of it; but if to Retrogradation fome other
misfortune happen, the Ship returnes to amend fomethine
amifle, and was alfo in danger.
Befides, if the Lord of the eighth fhall infortunate the Lord
of the Afcendant, efpecially if the Lord of the Afcendant be in
the eighth, there will come hurt to the Ship according to the
nature of the Planet afflifting : as if the fame Planet that is
Lord of the eighth houfe doe impedite the Lord of the houfe
of the , the Lord of the Afcendant and the J , it imports the
death of the Mailer or Governour of the Ship, and of his Mate
and principall Officers of the Ship: and if the Part of Fortune
and the Lord of the fecond houfe be both unfortunate, it pro¬
nounced*
 all manner ofQ«ejUons. %r(xz
Kownoeth lofle in fale of thole Goods in the Ship,or ill venting
of them, or that they will not come to a good Market *, but if
either & X or $ be in the fecond houle, or Lords thereof, or
Difpofitors of the Signethe 0 is in, there will good profit
ariie from the Voyage of that; Ship, and fale of Goods therein*
the more the Significators are effentially ftrong, the more pro¬
fit may be expe&ed.
If the Lord of the Afcendant and Lord of the houle ofthe $
be flow of courfe, and thofe Planets that difpofe of them, then
it’s probable the Ship will be flow in her motion, and make a
long Voyage of it: but if the aforefaid Significdtors be quick
in motion, the Ship fhall make good Ipeed to the Port inten¬
ded, and will returne home againe in Ihorter time then is ex-
pe&ed.
And if it happen that there be an cP or □ afpeft brtwixt the
Lord of the Afcendant and Lord of that Signe who dilpoleth
the 3) , and this alpe& be without reception, then will there
be much difeord amongft the Saylors9 and much controverfie
betwixt the Merchant and them 5 wherein, he fhall prevaile
that is moft dignified 5 that is, the Sea-men if the Lord of the
Afcendant be ftrongeft; the Merchant, if the Lord of thehoufe
where the 3) is be beft fortified.

houle wherein the 3) is in, (as if Ihebe in W, and the Lord of
the fecond not in tot, or if the Dlfpofer of the 0 be not widi
it, then the Ship-men will have fcarfity of Provifion of Vi&u-
als and Food .- if thele Planets or 0 be in Watry Signes, want
of frelh Water will moft annoy the Saylors : if the Significators
be in Earthly or Aiery Signes, want of Food, Vi&uals and
Fire will opprefle them : This is the manner by which th*
Ancients did judge of the good or ill fucqefle of a Ship, concern¬
ing her Voyage at her firft going forth.

Refblntionoj
In December i £44,
a Merchant in London
having fent out a
Ship to the Coafts
of Spaine for Trade,
had feverall timts
An Example newes that his Ship
of a Ship at was loft or caft a-
Sftto . way, there having
been a little before
very Tempeftuous
weather, in fo much
that many Shippes
were funk and ftiip-
wrackt ; he would
have-given 60 H# in
the hundred for the affiiranee of her ; But fo general 1 was the
report of her Ioffe, that none of the Enfurance company would
meddle, no notupon any tearmes. A Friend of the Merchants
propounds the Queftion unto me, JVbat I thought of the Ship, if
funkjr living ? whereupon J ere&ed the Figure preceding, and
havingwel) confidered what was requifite in this manner of
Judgment, I gave my Opinion, That the Ship was not loft, but did
lives atid though of late in forne danger, yet was now recovered. My
Judgment was grounded upon the Confiderations in Art fol¬
lowing. ...

I N the firft place, the Afceudam being the iV*. degr. and 35.
min. of s, (hewed the Bulk or Body of the Ship 3 there doth
alfo afcend with thefe degrees of s three fixed Starresin our
Horizon^ wholly almoft of the nature of T?: I find T? cafteth his
O Sinitfer out of the eleventh houfe, but from a GardinaM
Signe to, or very neer the Cufp of the afeending degrees, there¬
by afflifting it: after his □ afpett, I found the jun liter Exalta¬
tion, cafting a * S ini Her to th^ degree afeending, interpofing
her ^ betwixt the Afcendant and the cp afpefts of 5 and @
an the feventh, which otherwife had been dangerous, for all
oppofite afpefts to the Afcendant in this Judgment are dange¬
rous; From
 all manner ofQu,e(lions. i 6%
- /From the Ascendants affli&ion both by the □ of T?, and pre¬
fence of fixed Stars of his like nature, I judged the Ship was
much of the nature of V*, viz,, a fluggifh, heavy one, and of no
good fpeed, or very found ; and $ being a weakly Signe,made
me judge the condition, building and quality of the Ship was
fuch ; [and it was fo confeffed.']
From hence, and for that y ism the ninth houfe,1 judged
the Ship had been in fome affii&ion or diftreffe in her Journey,
occafioned from fudi cafuaities as are fignified by T? , viz, had
received fome bruife,leak,dammage in or neer h( r Breft;becaufe
T d the Signe wherein £ is, reprefents that part, thereby afflid-
ing it.
. But in regard the 3) , who is Lady of the Afeendant, is poll-
ted in the eleventh houfe, and in her Exaltation, is no manner
of way impedited, but by a benevolent afped applying to a" a
©f 5 and © 9 and is by bodily prefence fo neee unto ^ , and all
the SigrJficators above the Earth* (a thing very confiderable in
this Judgment.)
;Befides, 1 obferved no Infortunes in Angles, which was one
other good argument j for thefe confiderations, l judged the
Ship was not caft away, but was living, and that the Sayldrs
and O dicers of the Ship were lively and in good condition.
.. The next Qjsere was. Where the Ship wasx upon what Co aft, and
when any newes would come of her ?
Herein I coniidered -the 3) was fixed, and locally in the ele¬
venth houfe 5 \S fs a Southerne Signe, but in an Eaft quarter
of Heaven, verging towards the South: her application to A
of 5 , and he in v?, a South Signe and Weft Angle, made me
Judge the Ship was South- weft from London^and upon our own
Goa ft, or neer thofe which lye betwixt Ireland and Wales fl
. judged her at that time to be in fome Harbour, becaufe where¬
in the }) is, is fixed, and in the eleventh houfe, which is the
houfe of Comfort and Reliefe ; awd that (he was put into fome
Harbour to mend her Defefts or Rents : [It proved true that fbe was

 166 The Resolution of
in the fourth, for that is an afiiired teftimony of finking the
Ship.

Of the time of receiving any Qjj e s t i o n.

It hath been difputed largely amongft the ’Arabians, who
Were excellent in the rdbludon of Horary Qneftions, what
time the Atfrologer (hould take forthe ground of his Queftion,
whether that time when theQu*rent firft: comes into ones
Houfe or Clofet, oriirft fa^tites the Artifl, whether that is to bp
admitted for the moft proper time of ere&ing a Figure, and
giving Judgment thereupon.
Though fome have contented to this opinion, yet I could
never be fatisfied herein either with reafon or experience : for
let us admit one comes to demand# a Refolution of me, and we
qonvcrfe together a good while; but in the end, fome occafion
intervenes, and We depart: I hope no found Judgment will
allow of this time to be the ‘Radix of a Queftion (whenas none
is really demanded) viz. at what time he firft: faw me, or entred
my houfe and fpake with me.
Without doubt the true houre of receiving any Queftion is
then, when the Querent propounds his defire unto the Atfrolo-
ger, even that very moment of time, in my opinion, is to be ac¬
cepted : for let us fuppofe a Letter is fent or delivered unto me,
wherein I am defired to refolve fome doubts j perhaps I receive
the Letter into my hands at three of clock in any day of the
week, but in regard of fome occafions, doe not read it untill
four or five hours after; that very hour and minute of hour
when I,break it open, and perceive the intention oftht Querent*
is the time to which I ought to erect my Figure, and-from
thence to draw mine Attrologicall Judgment: This way and man¬
ner have I pradifed, and found fucceffe aniwerable: And
Whereas Bmatm and fome others doe give warning that the
AHrologian judge not his owne Queftion, and fay.he cannot tejl
how to accept of a queftion from himfelfe \ this I conceive was
realon, Becaufe he thought the Artifi ,WQuld be partial! to
Ifmfelfe in his judgment: Verily I am of a contrary opinion
and have found by many experiments* that at what hour the
 all manner ofQuestions. t'6 j ^
mind or intention of the Aftrologer is heavily perplexed with^
or concerning the fucceffe of any matter wherein himfelfe is
really concerned, I fay he may with great reafon accept of that
hour for the true time of ere&ing his Scheame of Heaven, and
he may (if not partiall) as well judge of that Figure ere&ed by
himfelfe, as of any other; but herein I advife him to lay alide
all love and partiality unto his owne Caufe. ^

the querent fhall not feare poverty, for he will be competently
rich or have a fufficient fortune to fubfift on, and this his eftate
fhall be greater or lefler according to the Major teffimonles^
which you are carefully to examine of thofe fignificators which
doe naturally refolve this queftlon 5 and here in this demand

inquiring or demanding thequeftion, for (Quoad cafax) it fhall

By what meanes attaine itl

When you have fufficiently examined your Figure, and per*

£eive that the Querent fhall have a fubfiftence or will come to
have riches, it will be demanded, how ? by whom, or what
meanes it may be obtained ?
Herein you mu ft obferve,that if theLord of the fecond houfe
be in the fecond, the querent fhall obtain an Eftate by his owne
labour and proper induftry 5 Jf the Lord of the fecond be pla-
mdm the Afcendant, .he fhall unexpectedly come to a Fortune*

or of what Houle the ]) is Lady of, or if neither of thele pro¬
mile Jubilance; fee to the® what houfe it is in,and what Houle
of Heaven the Viftofer is Lord of.
If the Planet alii ling or promiling encreafe of Fortune be
Lord of the Afcendant, the Querent himfeife will by his owne
diligence advance his owne Fortune ; if he be a meane man or
JV^echanicall that interrogates, then by the fweat and labour
of his owne hands, his owne Invention, Care and Paines-ta-
king (hall put him into a Fortune : but if the Adjuvant Pla¬
net be Lord of the fecond, he will augment his Eilate by ad¬
vance of his owne Stock, and well managing his private For¬
tune, and adventuring to Buy and Sell in fuch things as natu-
turaily he is addi&ed unto, or fals in his way in the courfe of
his life, or are of the nature of that Planet (the Signe he is in
coniidcred.)
If the Lord of the third fortunate the Lord of the fecond, or
the Cufp of the houfe, or Part of Fortune, he will be affilled in
procuring an Eilate by fome honeft Neighbour, or fome
one of his Kinred, Brethren or Sifters, if he have any, or by
fome Journey he fhall undertake, or removing to that quarter
of Heaven from whence the Lord of the third calls his good af-
pe&,or is corporally joined with the Significator of Subtlance.
If the fortunate Planet or Significator be Lord of the fourth,
or placed in the fourth, the Qjerent will attaine Wealth by
meanes of his Fathers dhilance, ( if he be living) or by fome
aged perfon, as Grandfather, &c. or by taking fome Farme or
Grounds, or purchafe of Tenements, Lands or Hereditaments.,
or well managing the Stock his Ancestors have or lliall leave
him, or fome Stock of Money his Kinred may lend him.
If the Lord of the fifth doe promile Wealth, then he ob-
takies meanes : if a Gentleman (by Play, Cards, Dice, Sports,
Paftimes,') if of Capacity, and a Courtier,by fome Embaflage,
Mefia^, &c. If an ordinary man propounds the Qjeftion, by

If the Lord of thefixth, or Signifkator;, or affiftant Planet
be In the fixth, and the Signe of the-fixth.be humane, the Que*
rent may expert good Servants,' and profit by their labour : if
a King or Prince propounds the Queftion (as fometimes they
doe) you may judge, his Subje&s will afiift him with many
tumbling Subfidies, Privy-Seales, Loanes of Money, Sec.
If a Nobleman or Gentleman enquire, he fhall augment
his Eftate by Letting JLeafes, and the difereet managing of
his Eftate by ihis ^Stewards*,Bailiffs, and fuch as undertake
for him. -
If the Queftion come from a Country^-man, as a Farmer or
Husband-man, tell him he may thrive by dealing in little Cat¬
tle, as Sheep, Goats, Hogs, Conies, Sec.
If a Scholler propound the Queftion upon the Iikeoccafioii|
advife him to turne Phyfitian, for he fhall thrive by his Salary
obtained from people rnfivme and difeafed.
If the Lord of the feventh houfe fortunate the Lord of the
fecond, or the Gufp-of the houfe, or the ® y or that Planet
which is pofited in the fecond3 let the Querent expe& Gods

Significators above named, the Qjterent fhall either have feme*
Legacy bequeathed him by Teftament of a deceafed party, or a
further encreafe of his Wives Portion, little by him expe&ed*'
at time of his Queftion, or fhall goe uncompelled, and refide in
Lome Country, where encreafe of fubftance fhall happen unto*
him, viz, he fhall unexpectedly fettle himfelfe where formerly1

the Lord of the tenth and fecond be in reception, or the Lord
ofthe tenth doe behold the Lord of the fecond or Cufpe of the
fecond houfe, or a Planet therein,or the © with any benevo¬

you doe find the Lord of the Afcendant or the D joyned to the
Lord of the eleventh houfe, or if any of them be joyned to any
Planet in the eleventh houfe; and that Planet be'a Fortune, not
in any meafure impedited,or ill difpoied, then you may affirms
that the Querent (hall obtaine what Salary, wages,debt,or mo-

the Significators, the one being ah infortune and without re¬
ception, the querent will never obtaine what he defires: In thisr
manner of Judgement be very carefull to obferve the Planets
true efientiall dignities, and their mutuall receptions, and by
Which of their mutuall dignities they receive each other.

Of-the time when the afctefa/d accidents' treated of in thk‘

Chap ief nfaf happen 0 -

Herein yoir nrnft diligently oblefve- unto what Planet el-’

ther the Lord of the Afcendant or ^ applyes unto, or isr
joyned by body, and doth fignifid the effe&ing and perfor¬
mance of the mattter quefited after, for if that Planet be in >
or A with the Lord of the Afcendant or the 3 whether he be'
a Fortune or not, or receive the Lord of the Afcendant or D or’
not~$ confider well how both of them projeft their beames or ‘
rayes to each other, untill they come to their perfect alpeft, or'
lee how many degrees at the time’of the Queftion asking, they
want of being in true partill afpeft or c/, and you may anfwer "
that it (hall be fo many dayes as are the number of degrees be-*
twixt the Significators; if they be both in Cadent houfes : if*
they be in Succedant houfes of Heaveft; it will be fo many
weeks; if in Angles, the time will be fo many moneths : but
herein the Aftrologer muft ufe difcretion, and confider if it be<
pqffible that the matter enquired of may be effected in dayes, *
weeks
 The Resolution of
weeks or moneths; for if it be a bufineflfe that may require
much time, infiead of moneths you may adde yeers, and this
efpecially it the Lord of the Afcendant, the 2 and other Signi-
iicators be in Angles ; but if one Planet be in an Angle,artd the
other in a Succedant,then they (ball fignifte moneths ; if one be
in a Succedant and the other in aCadent,thenthey (hall denote
weeks} but if one be in an Angle, and the other in a Cadent
hou(c,they prenote moneths.
Some ot the Ancients have faid, that if at the boure of the
Queftion the Planet which fignifies the perfe&ion of the thing
demanded be in one Signe with the Lord of the Afcendant,the
matter (hall then be brought to conclufion when that Planet
and the Lord of the Afcendant come to corporal 1 conjun&lon
in Degree and Minutetff the Lord of theAlcendant be thehnore
ponderous Planet, or whether there be reception yea or not;
but if the Lord of the Afcendant be the more light Planet, fo
that he nuke hafte to the conjun&ion of the Planet fignifying
the e (Feeling of the matter, and that Planet receive the Lord of
the Attendant, the nutter will be finifhed. But if that Planet
(hall not receive the Lord of the Afcendant, then the matter
will not be effe&ed, unlcfie the forefaid fignificators be in an
Angle when the Conjun&ion (hall be, or in one of his owne
Houfes,and efpecially in that houfe which is called his joy; as
~ is the ) ay of T? ,** of % , TTL ofcf , & of 9 3 nje of 5 . What I
have obferved in refolving Quell ions of this nature,is this,that
jingle reception by exaltation without other teftimonies profit
teth not *, that reception by eflentiall dignities of Houfc,when
benevolent Planets are fignificators, though by □ or doe
ufually (hew perfe&ion, yea beyond expeft-ition, and therefore
very certainly when by ^ or A afpeft it fo fals out.
And for the time when, 1 obferve, if a fortune, or the D or Lord
of the tiling quefited be in the Afcendant, and have any eflenti-
all dignity therein, the number of Degrees betwixt the Cufp of
the Attendant and body of the Planet, doth denote the time
when, dayes if a moveable Signe, and the bufine(ie capableof

I T’* firft tiecefTary for more exa& judgement in this queftion,

that you examine the Dlurnall motion of the Planets, which
I fade here to be as followeth:
Viz. h moveth in 24^ houres,two minutes: and is therfore
flow in motion.
V 13. min. Ergo, he moveth more .in 24. houres, then his
meane motion Hwhich’is 4. min. 57. fee. is reputed fwift, as
you may lee fo 1.61.
The Diurnal Emotion'of cT Is 3$. min. this being more then
his middle or meane motion, which you fee in page 6 5. is 3 c
min. 27. feconds. He is reputed fwift.
Diurnall motion of the ® 57*min. oo.fec. being lefle then
hisimean motion 5 he is flow.
Of $ 1. de^r, 13. min. very fwift.
Of 5 . 1. degr. 44. mini more fwift.

In the next place I am to examine the fortitudes and debili¬
ties of the Planets : by the Table of eflentiall dignities Page
104. and the other Table of Page 115. I doe this more wil¬
lingly that young Learners may better anderftand theufe of

Herein firft ! considered the general! difpofition of the Pla¬

Secondly,whether he ftiould be rich or not > In refolving this
Queftion, I confidered, that the Lord of the fecond is pofited

that the Demandant would acquire an Eftate, andiiave a com¬

of he hath : but becaufe d Lord of the ieventh houfe (which

advized to marry, and acquainted him* that without Marriage

the Q uerents owne induftry, and becaufe the Significator of
the thing demanded is pofited in the afcestdant, it argues that
an eftate or increafe thereof would come fomewhat eafily or

who would produce him a good fortune, and it fixed,and more

a very good or competent Eftate. He hath*as he informes me,
had a good fortune with his Wife, both Money and Land * and
for his Trading it hath been very good; for V in the tenth is

The diftance of the Attendant from & being about t wo de¬

whofe meanes he fhould improve hisEftate: And the reafon
why I judged augmentation of his Wealth by means of Friends
was, becaufe $ is feated on the cufp of the eleventh' houfe,
which lignifieth Friendlhip, &c. for in all Judgments you muft
warily conlider the nature of the houfe wherein the applicati¬
on of your Significators are,&c. as alfo,when you judge in this,
nature of things contingent, you muft meafure out the time
when they (hall happen according to reafon, and mix Art and

rules of Art, for Abs te & a Scientia•

Cf that Planet or Planets impediting the effecting or performance of

what is demanded in ever) Quefiion.

It is confiderable in all Demands, that you be carefiill to

know what that Planet is, who impedites the matter, or hin¬
ders it, that it fhall take no effeft, and we may juftly call him
Strongs Hurt fulls De/lrcyor, Abfciffots becaufe he onely deftroyes
and perverts the nature of the Queftion, when othcrwayes it
would come to a good conclufion: We receive judgment here¬
in from that Planet with whom the Lord of the Afcendant is
joyned, or the Significator of the thing queiited after, whether
it be the I herfelfe, or that (he is partaker with the Lord of
the Afcendant or no, or is Significant of the thing De¬
manded.
In refolving this you muft conlider the Planet unto whom
the Significant of the Qu£rent is joyned, or the Significant oi
the thing required, or the D, and obferve how that Planet is
difpofed,anduntowhomheisjoyned$ for if t he Lord of the
Afcendant, or D , or Significant of the matter propounded. Is
joyned to an evill Planet, evill difpofed, without reception ;
or if he be not ill difpofed, but joyned to an Infortunes and he
ill difpofed, and receive him not, it prenotes the deftru&ion of
the thing queiited.
We underhand a Planet to be ill difpofed, when Peregrines
Retrogrades Combufis Cadent, from the Afcendant or houfe of the
thing demanded, fo that he beholds not the houfe, or at leaft
' the
 _ all wanner of Qnettions. 185
the Lord of the houfe, in this nature the afpcd to the houfe is
better then to the Lord thereof; fo any Planet in his Fall or
iDetriment, may properly be called Detfroyer or Obftruttorj or
Planet impediting.
Moreover, if the Significatorol the Querent, or thing fought
after, or }), or Planet to whom (lie is joyned, whether (he is a
Significatrix, or hath participation in the Queftion, bejoyned
,
to an unfortunate Planet, viz, Retrograde Cornbufl, Cadent, then
obferve if Reception intervene ; which if there be, it figniffes the
perfedion of the matter, though with wearineffe and much
folicitation : If no reception be, the matter will come to
nothing, though there have'bsen much probability of its per¬
formance.
If the Planet who receives the Lord of the Afcendant, or the
' j), or Lord of the thing Demanded,or the Planet who receives
any of them, be free from misfortunes, neither receiving or re¬
ceived, it perfeds the matter with facility.
If the Planet to whom the Lord of the Afcendant, or the D ,
or Lord of the matter fought after, be free from the Infortunes .,
and is joyned to any benevolent Planet who is in afped with a
malevolent, and he impedited and not receiving the former
Planet, the matter will not then be brought to perfedion, or
come to any good conclufion.
Doe you hill materially coniider if the Planets afpeds be
without reception, for when they are in reception, things are
brought to pafle, though with fome trouble; ever confidci ing
whether any Planet ^doe cut off the light and vertue of the
Significators before their perfed with an evill Planet; if fuch
a thing happen, it hinders not5but that the matter may be per¬
fected and accomplifhed : but if no abfciffion of light intervene,
whereby the malevolence of the Infortune may be taken off, the
matter is prohibited, and will not beeffeded.
You muft notwithftanding judge if Reception doe intervene
whether it be not by □ or cP afped, for then if a Planet be
evill difpofed, then the reception profiteth nothing; the Me
when he that is received is impedited : but if reception be by
or A 5 you may confide the matter will be effeded; or if the
Planet who receives be at that time well difpofed, let the recep-
A a 1 tioa

tion be by any manner of afpeft, the matter is performed, Lie*'
the aipeft □ or cP; if the afpe& be A or it performes the
thing, whether the Significator be received or not 5 but provi¬
ded, the afpeft be not feparated, but applying 5 if the Signified--
torbe joyned with a Fortune not impedited, the thing will be
perfected. -
If any Planet tranflate the light or vertue betwixt one Signi-
ficator and another, and he to whom the light is mandated be
an Irfortune}and impedited,the Queftion or matter is deftroyed,
unlede the Infortune be againe received. *
If the Significator of the Querent, or the Mfon5 and Signified-
ten* of the thing looked after, be joyned to any Planet who col¬
lets the light of both Planets, be he an Infortune or inform-1
irate, hedeflroyes the matter, and permits it not to be accom-
pliflied, unleffe himfelfe receive both the Significator s 5 if he re¬
ceive one ondy of them, it matters not, the matter will not be-
performed.
Coniider likewife, whether the Significator of the Querent be
in the houfe of the thing dtrhred, or going to d of his Lord, ’
this intimates the Querent is going to the thing quelited after y
if the Significator of the thing demanded be found in the Afcen-
dant$ or haifeningjto the d of the Significator of the Querent,*
at imports the matter enquired of, or thing ddired fhall come
to the Querent, receptions not with handing, the 2 and other

Of a Brother that is abfenl*

The Afcendant and his Lord are the Querents' Significator,

the cufp of the third houfe (hall be the Afcendant of the Bro¬
ther that is abfent, the fourth the abfents houfe of Subftance,,
and fo in order,
Gonfider in what condition the Lord of the third is in, and!
in what houfe,and how the Planets do afpeft him,and whether
he be in the afpeft of the good or evil! Planets, and what that
afpeft is they have to each other, or whether they are in corpo-
rall Conjun&ion $ for if the Lord of the third be in the third
and themnfortunate Planets have no □ or & afpeft unto him,-
you may judge the Brother is in health , but if the malignant
Planets behold him with a □ or <P, without reception, you
may fay, the Bother lives, is in health, but he is in great per¬
plexity, difeontent and forrow > but if they behold him with
the aforefaid afpe&s^and be in reception,you may fay, the Bro¬
ther is in great diftrefie, but he will with eafe evade it, and free ’
himfelfe from his prefent fad condition : but if the fortunate
Planets behold him wth a ^ or A a(pe&, without reception,
or with a □ or cP with reception, yoii may judge the Brother
is in good health and is well content to day in the place where
he then is : if the fortunate Planets behold him with ^ or A
and with reception, you may tell the Querent his Brother is in
health, and wants nothing in this world to make him happy :
but if the Lord of the third be in the fourth, w7hieh is his owne
fecond houfe, without the afpe£ of the malignant Planets, he
endeavours to get an Eftate or fortune in that Country where¬
in he is at the time of theere&lng the Scheame; but if the Lord
of the third be in the fifth houfe, and is joyned with the Lord
of the fifth houfe, with reception of a Fortune or not, as long as
the Lord of the fifth houfe is not impedited in any grievous
manner,k*s an argument the abfent Brother is in health, is jo¬
cund and merry, and well liketh the converfation of the men
of that Country where he is : if he be a Fortune with whom the
Significator of the Brother is in d with, or in ^ or A with
reception, you may then more fafely pronounce the Brother to
Aa 3 be
H ^ 9° The Resolution of
be in a good condition; yet if the Lord of the third be in the
fifth voyd of courfe, or in perfect d with 'any of the infortu-
, nate Planets, without reception, and thole unfortunate Pla¬
nets be themfelves iropedited, it’s an argument the abfent Bro¬
ther is indilpoled in health, crazy and not contented in the
place where he is : if you find the Broth; r’s fignificator in other
houfes which are oar naturally ill [as the lixth, eighth and
twelfth houfes are) then he is not weii pleated, but yet no hurt
will come of it.
If the Brothel's Significator be found in the eighth houle,
and is either corporally or by * or A afpeft joyned to a Fortune,
you may judge the Brother is not very well, yet not fo ill, that
he need any thing doubt of his wel-being 5 however, jhe is in-
difpofed. ■
he be joyned to evill Planets by bad afpefts, and out of the
fixthoufe, the abfent Brother is infirme; the fame you may
judge if the Lord of the lixt be in the third, unleffe he have dig¬
nities inthe Signe, and be in thofe dignities.
If you find theBrother of-the Querent to be ill, fee if the
Lord of the third be in d with the Lord of the eighth, or is
entring Combuftion, it’s likely then he will dye of that infir¬
mity 5 but if you find his Significator in the feventh, fay, he is
in the fame Country in which he went, and not yet gone
out of it, he continues there as a Stranger or Sojourner,is neb*
ther well or ill, but fo fo.
If the Significator be in the eighth, he doubts himfelf that he
(hall dye ; and the more dubious he is, if his Significator be ei¬
ther combufi,or in d with theLord of the eighth in the eighth,
or in aipeft by □ or cp of the Infortunes out of the eighth.
If his fignificator be in the ninth, then is he gone from the
place to which he firft went into a further Country, or if ca¬
pable, he is entred into feme religious Order, or is imployed
by thole that are in Order, viz. Religious Men, or poflibly ac-
coi ding to his cjuality, is imployed in fome journey far difiant
from his former aboad.
If his fignificator be in the tenth, and joyned by d orina-
fpeftwith the fortunes by A or * afpe&, efpecially with re¬
ception, he hath then got fionie imployment, Office or Com-
. v ' mand

snand in the Country where he is, and is in good eftimatioh
and lives in a credible way : but if he be joyned to the infor¬
tunes, or in □ or cP of them, or any other wayes be impe-
ditedbythem, or Combuft in the tenth ; it may be feared he
is dead. ** t
If he be in the eleventh Houfe, joyned to the Fortunes by
any good afpeft * or if he be in d with the Lord of the ele¬
venth ; he is then fafe at the houfe of a friend, and is pleafant
and merry : but if evil! Planets affiift him in that Houfe, or
caft their malevolent beames Unto him ; then is he tnaleconten-
ted, and not well pleafed with his prefent condition.
If he be in the twelfth Houfe,joyned to the Fortunes with re¬
ception, and that orthofe Fortunes not impedited > he then
trucks for Horfes, or great Cattle, is turned Grafter, or is Ma¬
iler of a Horfe, an Heftier, a Drover of Cattle, or one that
drives Cattle to Market, according to the quality of the per-
fon inquired after. .
If he be unfortunate in the twelfth, or in bad afpeft with
the infortunes,or in afpeft with the Lord of the eight,or Cofo-
buft*, the man is difeontent, and doubts he Ihall never fee hi$
Country againe *, and well he may, for its probable he will
dye there. t
If he be in the firft, the abfent Brother is frolicke and mer¬
ry, and extreame well pleafed where he is 5 and they much love
and refpeft him where he is.
If he be in the fecond,its probable the man can by no means
come away ; either he is detained as prifoner, or hath done
Lome fuch a& as that he is not capable of coming away ; yet il
the Significiator be Retrograde, he will make hard Ihiftto e-
feape when ever opportunity is offered.
I have been fomewhat more tedious in this judgement, b£-
caufe it is as a Key to ail the reft: F or if any aske of their Fa-
ther being abfent, let the fourth Houfe be the Afcendant of
him and fo run round the twelve Houles in your judgement
for the Father as you have done for the Brother, ever having

The manner of undemanding this Queftion, and taking k

fiome would make thefe like Queftions to belong to the lift
Houfe 3 others, to certaine Lords of triplicities, having do¬
minion in the Signes afeending or defeending on the Cufpes
of the third or fift Houfe. That which I have found true by
experience (in our wofull late fad times of Warre) was this; '
tliat if I found the 3) in the afeendant, tenth, eleventh or third
Houfe, feperated by a benevolent afpe& from any Planet (be
he Lord of what Houfe foever) and then applying by A or
cf to the Lord of the afeendant 51 fay, I did finde the report
or rumour true, but alwayes tending to the good of the Par-

Of Councillor Advice given, whether it be for Good

or Evil!.

Sometimes a Neighbour, Kinlman or Friend takes occaiion

to come vifit their Friends, with intention andpretenfion to
give them good advice,or perfwade them to fuch or fuch a mat-

judge they come with an h'oneft heart, and the ad?ice they give
is intended for your good: If an Infortune, viz. L or y,
they intend deceitfully, and are lyars. Hally doth further affirm,
that if the Signe afeending be a moveable Signe, and the Lord

Whether the Querent have Brethren or Sifters•

Although this is better refolved from the proper Nativity of

the Querent, then the Que ft ion ; yet you may oblerve thefe
rules, which I have found true by experience*
Viz. If you find upon che cufp of the third houfea fnaitfull
Sign,ass in. X ( j?or H, though thefe are not fo fruitful 1 as
the other) yet you may judge he hath Brethren or Sifters; Bro¬
ther or Brethren, if a Mafcuiine Signe be there, and the Lord
thereof in a Mafculine Signe or houre, or in afpeft: with a Mas¬
culine P lanet: Sifter or Sifters, if a Feminine Signe and Planet
be in the third, or the Significators in Feminine Signes or Hou-
fes, and in d or application to Feminine Planets *, Lome fay,
fo many Planets as are in the houfe, or that the Lord of the
third is in afpeft with, fo many Brothers or Sifters the Qjierent
hath ; but I ever held it too fcrupulous to require fuch particu¬
lars from a at eftion : the unity amongft Brethren or Kinred,
either in the prelent or future, is difccrnable by the laft afpeft
the Lord of the third,and Lord of the Afcendant were in, or by
the happy pofiture of Benevolent or malignant Planets in the
Afcendant or third y for where the Former are placed, from
thence it may be expe&ed ail unity and concord from that par¬
ty : from the Querent, if they be in the Afcendant: from the
Brother, Sifter or Kinred in generall, if the Fortunes be in the
third. The ill pofiture of h or cf out of their effchtiall Dignities
in the third,or therfin,is a ftrong argument of untoward and
c.ofie Brethren,Sifters oi Kinred,and of no unity betwixt them*
but concinuail difeord, wrangling and jangling, &c.

Had thisQueftion been propounded. Whether the Qjterent

the Judgment thus :

Signe.

fee page 89. where all thefe Signes are noted Prolifical, or Signs
arguing fruitfulneffe ; from hence you might have allured the
. Querent, he might have expelled both Brothers and Sifters, or
a plentifull numerous Kin red; but more Sifters then Brothers,
becaufc all the Signes are Feminine, as you may fee page.88. and
cf , Lord of the third, is in a Feminine Signe yet in regard the
l who is Difpofitor of d* , is in E, a Mafculine Signe, and in
^ platick with V, a Mafu'ine Planet, Angular, and in a

B F; careful 1 to take your A (Cendant exa&Jy, and confidcr the"

Mature of the Q ueftion , viz. whole Goods, or to whom the
thing miffing* or loft* or enquired after, did appertaine ; if the*

regard to the Lord of the fourth 5 if to the Father, the Lord of
the fifth y if to the Mother, the Lord of the eleventh, &c. and Lo¬
an order, according to the nature of the Party who propofeth*
the Queftion. -
If you find the Lord of thefecond in any Angle, you may*

that demands the Queftion 5 and if the Lord of the fecond be in*

he doth moft abide, or is converfant, or where himfelfe layeth

in* but if the Lord of the fecondbe in the tenth houfe, it9s then
inbis Shop, if he be a Mechanici*; if &Gentleman? in his Hall or

ti aOC in: If theLord of the fecond be in the fourth, it’s where
Hhe raoft aged of-the houfe doth lodge, or formerly did mod
frequent, or in the middle of the houfe, or in the mofi ancient
part of the houfe, where either his Father or fome ancient man
lodged: the nature and quality of the place is knowne by the
Signes the Significaters are in 5 for if the Signe of the fecond be
aiery, or the greater number of the Significators and Signe
wherein ® is, doth concurre, the thing is hid in the Eaves
or top, or upper part of that houfe or roome where it is, or on
high from the ground : and if the thing hid be in the Field, or
in a Garden 6r Orchard, it’s higher then the ordinary ground,
or upon the higheft hill or part of that ground, or hangs upon
fome ftalk of a Plant or Tree.
If the former Significators be ftrong, and in watry Signes, k*$
in the Buttery, Dairy or Wafh houfe, or neer Water.
If in fiery Signes, it’s neer the Chimney, or where Iron is,
or in, or neer the Wals of the houfe.
If in earthly Signes, the thing hidis on the ground or earth,
under or neer fome Pavement or Floor, and if you find the
things be miflaid out of the houfe in any ground, it notes
neer the Bridge or Stile where people come into the ground.
If your Signifi cat or be going out of one Signe and entring
another, the thing is behind fomething or other, oris carelefly
fallen downe betwixt two rooms, or neer fhe Threftiold, or
joyning together of two rooms, and is higher or lower in the
place, according to the nature of the Signe, &c.
The Ancientsj have delivered many rules, and doe fay, that to part of
Judge in what part of the houfe or ground the thing is in, you t)e Jm[e or
mutt fee to the Lord of the hour, and if he be in the tenth houfe ground*
or eleventh, you may fay the thing is in the South part of the
Jaoufe, towards the Eaft 5 and if he be between the fourth houfe
and Afcendant, then North-eaft : if between the fourth and fe*
venth, theft North-weft: if between the tenth houfe and the fe-
venth, then South-weft. ,
This is and was the opinion of the former Aflroltigransy how¬

good will to fell and to deale with the Querem or Buyer : and if
the Significators be in any eflentiall Dignities upon this their

d , it’s then probable they will agree and conclude upon the
Purchafe with little labour : if the application or tranflation of

with many words and probabilities of breaking off, and after
much expence of time.

But if this dwelling in houfcs be not, yet if the 2 transferre <
the vertue or light of the Lord of the fourth to the Lord of the

If there be no application or tranflation, or transferring the

that it may continue a long time with his Pofterity,and it’s an

judge the contrary, viz. the Tenants are hpneft men, and doe
give, and will give the Land-lord content, and will love him
befides, and are content toiold what they have already, and to
occupy the Land ftill ;,but if an infortunfite Planet be in the a£
Cendant, and direft, the Tenants will purloyne the Woods, or
weareoutthevertueof, the land; but it he be retrograde, the
Tenants wil put the land upon the Landlord,or will run away
or throw up theirLeafts.
tVood on the tf a fortunate Planet be in the Mid-beaver^ and direft, lay,
ground* there is good Timber upon the ground, and good ftore ; if the
Fortune be retrograde, judge there are many Trees, but little
Timber, and thofe lopt, or that of late the .Vrfer hath fold ma¬

then but few Trees ; if hpbe retrograde, fay, the Country peo¬

the Trees are of more growth, and the Wood is ancient * and if

H avfhg confidered what precedes, conlider the Angle of the

date and quality of the Herbage, or fmaller Plants of the

the perfonall Eftate or Goods moveable of the Father, are fig-

there's no doubt to be made but the Querent (hall have a com¬
petent fortune out of the Eftate of his Father; but if it happen
that the Lord of the fifth houfe be Retrograde, or in fome bad
afpeft of any malevolent Planet, then fome part of that Eftate
the Father intends for the Querent, will be Wafted or other-

fee what Planet it is that impedites the Lord of the fifth, either

©f [he Fathers Brothers or Sifters, or fome of his Tenants or
Neighbours that will perfwade the Father to after his intenti¬
on, and to diminifh part of what he did formerly intend to
doe: If it be the Lord of the leventh, it is fome Woman or

the defcription of the Party, the Querent is well informed of'

If the Lord of the fife difpofe of <£>, and be in the Afcendant

.from his Father.
If ^ or 2 out of the fifth houfe caft their benevolent alpe&s
to any Planet in the Qjierents fecond, it argues the fame.
It the D leparate from the Lord of the fifth, and either have
prefently after a ^ or A totheLord of the fecond, or of the
afeendant, it fiiewes ftrong and allured hopes of geguiring the
tiling demanded of the Father.
If you find an lnfor\une in the fourth, not having Dignities
there, then you may fay the Father hath little lift to part with
his Money, nor will it be good to move him much, untill that
unfortunate Planet be tranfited out of that Signe ; but if you
cannot ftay fo long, obferve when that unfortunate Planet is
Dire&, fwift in Motion, Orientall, and in ^ or A with % or

would'have prefent meanes, and cannot conveniently itay the
Fathers leizure : nor doe I write, that the obfervation of thole
times doe of themfelves enforce the mind or will of the F ather*
but that then at thofe times there’s more benevolent incli¬
nations. , .
If you find the Lord of the fecond and of the fifth, applying
by Retrogradation to any good afpeft, the Querent will re¬
ceive fome Eftate from his Father fuddenly, ere he be aware, or
when he lea ft thinks of it: now to know, whether the Father
love the Querent better then any of his Brothers or Sifters, you
muft obferve, whether the Lord of the third, or any Planet in

the third be neerer to, or in a better afpeft with the Lord of

the fourth, then the Lord of the afeendant is, or it there
be any reception betwixt them, viz. the Significators of Bre¬

the Lord of the afeendant and Lord of the fourth. You may
then be affured, the Fathers affe&ion ftands more to another

Lord of the feventh be with a good Planet, and the Lord of the

doe, he fhall receive much damage there : That which I have
obferved in this manner of Judgment was this 5 That if the

curre in Judgment, viz. if (he did feparate from any evill afpe# ‘

grine or Retrograde, or if a Peregrine or unfortunate Planet
was in the founh, or if the Lord of the fecond was weak or ill

gave him reafon why he (hould ; for if I found the Lord of the

was tormented with ill fervants, by whofe meanes he did not
thrive in his Vocation.
If the Lord of the twelfth afflifted the Lord of the afcendant
or the y, I faid he had backbiting, evill or (landerous Neigh¬
bours, or people that lived not very farre from him did fcanda-
lizehim; if the Lord of the fecond was unfortunate, or in Cf

Of turning the courfe of Rivers, or bringing Water into ones

I N this manner of judgment, you muft principally confider

the pofition and ftrengch of T? and the 5 , and in what aipeft
they or either of them are in, either with ^ or 9 5 for if yea
find h Direct, fwift in Motion, Oriental!, and the }) in the
third, eleventh or fifth houle, without any afpeft either good
or evill to d*, it’s an argument, the Work that is to be under¬
taken will have good fucceffe, be brought to a good conclufion,
and that the Querent will have profperity and credit by it, and
the matter eafily performed , and this the rather, if the j> apply
to that Planet who is Lord of that Signe wherein file is, and he
receive her in any of his Dignities ; and if that Planet who is
receiver of the )) be a Fortune, and is amending in his latitude,
and in a fixed Signe, the Querent fiiall not need tofeare, but
that there will be water enough, and that it will runne plenti¬
fully, and the Water-courfe will long continue: if there be in
the tenth houle either'% or $ , but efpecially V, it’s a lure
argument the River, Channel!, Conduit, Pipe, or Water-work

In further confederation of this judgment, if you find T? in

mon one, or the j) her (elfe in one of thofe Signes producing

Of Treafure lying bid in the Ground, or to be dzwei
M of the Earth*-

T H E refolution of this Qjieftion is various according

to the nature of its propofall, or according to the nature
and quality of the thing enquired after, viz. whether Moneyr
Plate or Jewels,or things eafily moveable, or for Treafure long
fince obftured or hid, the Querent not knowing what it is : or '
if it be. Whether there be any Mine of Gold, Silver or Iron, or
any other Minerals in.'the Ground', Mannor or Lordfhip now
queftioned j then it is requifiteto kaow whether the Querent
did hide or obfcure this Treafure now enquired after, or whole
ft was, or what relation the party that did fo had unto him,
or whether that he aske in a generall way of Treafure hid, not
being able to difcover either when, where, or whofe, or what
it is >
If the Querent did hide his owne Plate, Money or Jewels in
any part of his Ground, or in his houle, and hath forgotten5
whereabouts, you mtift herein obferve the Signe of the lecond*
houle, the Lord thereof, what Signe and quarter of Heaven he
is in, as alfo, the Signe of the fourth and his Lord, and what
quarter of Heaven they lignifie: the Lord of the lecond and of
the fourth in Angles, the Plate is ftill in the houle, or in the
ground,^ and not removed 5 but if thefe Planets be not in An¬
gles, but an Infortune, without dignities, be either in the fourth’
or feventh, there’s then either part of it, or all removed and
made away; and if your Figure promife, that your Goods are
not removed, to find in what part they are, have recourle to*
the fir ft Chapter of this houle concerning things hid,
if the Qtjeftion be concerning Tr&afure abfolutely? without
knowledge
 The Re (elution of
knowledge whofe or what it was, viz. whether there be any in
the place or ground fufpttted, yea or no 5 obferve in the Figure
whether % or 9 or & be in the fourth houfe, there’s then
probability of Treafure being there $ if they be there and ia
their owne houfes, the matter is without difpute, and you may
be fure there is Treafure, or fomething of value in the houfe OF*
ground fufpe&ed 5 or if you find either h or <? in any of their
owne houfes, Direfr, and without Impediment, and in the
fourth, there is alfo Treafure, or if you find .9 in *5 in the
fourt h, not labouring with any misfortune, it’s probable there
is Treafure there, for you mull know there is no Planet unfor¬
tunate, when he is in his owne houfe, or eifentiaily dignified,
and aSlgnificator.
If you are ignorant of the nature and quality of theTrea-
fare, or thing obfeured, then fee to the Planet who fignifieth
the Treafure, and confider if he be Lord ot the feventh houfe,
and examine his nature and property, if he be fo 5 if he be not
Lord of the feventh, joyne the Lord of the feventh in judg¬
ment with him, and fo frame a mixture for the quality of the
thing.
But if that Planet who is Significator of the Treafure be not
Lord of the 7th or have affinity with him, then abfolutely take
the Lord of the feventh tofignifie the nature and Species of the
Treafure ; who if he be the ®, and he in his houfe or exaltati- '
on, there is Gold there, or precious Stones or Jewels of that
colour, or neer to the colour of the ® .
And if the Queftion were. Whether there were a good Mine
yea or not ? the place considered, it’s like there is; if the © be
not fo well dignified, and yet fignifie the Treafure, it*s then :
fomewhat very precious, and neere to Gold in goodneffe.
If the ]) be in her owne houfe or exaltation, and be Lady of
the feventh,the Treafure isSilver,Plate,Chryftal or Jewels,&c«
of the colour (he is of, See.
If rf be Lord of the feventh, and fo dignified, he fhewes, the
thing fought after may be Brafie or Glaffe, or fome Curiofities
or Engines of Iron, &c.rbut if he be weak,perhaps you may find
fome old rufty Iron, Candlefiicks, Kettles, 8tc. II the Qiiefiion
were about Iron-hone, it's probable it will prove good Ifon-
ftone
 <

all manner of QueJUonf. ^ i,

ftons, and make good Iron. If h be Lord ofthefeventh, and
fortified as before fpecified, there’s fome Antiquities of great ac¬
count, or ancient Monuments of men long lincedeceafed, (bine
'Urne) &c. or there are fome things wrapt up in old blacke
Cloathsjor old woodden Boxes : and if the Queftion wcrecon-
cerning any Mine or quarrey of Stone, then it’s very probable
there is a rich Mine of Coles, if the Qiieftion were concerning
Coles ; or of good Stone, if the Queftion were of it: but if rf
be weaK, and ill dignified, then neither is the Mine a richonej
or can it be wrought without much expence ofTreafure; whe¬
ther it be full of water, or what may be the impediment, you
..muft require from the Signe he is in, well confidering what
was formerly faid in this Chapter.
!f If be Lord of the ieventh and eflentially fortified, there is
Silver or very rich Cloth, and greac ft ore ofit, or Tyn, &c.
!f 2 be Lady of the ieventh, [he intimates curious Houfhold-
ftuffe, coftly Jewels, or that fine Linnen is there hid.
5 be Significator, he prenotes fome Pichires, Meddals,
Writings, Books, tome pretty Toyes are oblcured, or are the
Treafure looked after.

If the Querent fballobtaine the "Treafure bid.

If the Planet who fignifies the Treafure or thing hid, doth

apply to the Lord of the afeendant, or if there be mutual! re¬
ception or tranfhtion, or collation of light and nature betwixt
them , it s probable the Querent fhall obtaine the matter
fought after ^ if the alpeft be by □ or cP3 then not without
difficulty and much labour ; the of both Significators beft of
all performes the bufinefle, and the more affiirtdly, if they be in
a fixed Sign?, and polked in the Querents lecond houfe, or in
the afeendant, either of the Luminaries placed in the afeendant
and not unfortunated, gives great facility in the Work ; but if
neither ot them be in the alcendant,or behold it, but be both in
cadent houfes, there remaines little hopes in the matter : When
® is in the afeendant, and alio his Lord or Difpofer, it promi-
feth acquiiition of the 1 reafureibut if the Lord of <2> be cadent,
and both the Lights^, eipecially the d , and have no to

lean give the CL went then no hopes of obtaining the Trea¬
fure or thing hid : A'iindus giveth this generall rule soncerning
Treafure, or any thing obfeured in the ground; Ereft your Fi¬
gure aright^ confider the feveralt afpefts of the Planets, if there
be in the afeendant, or in any Angie a Fortum, fay, there is
Treafure in the ground, and that the thing hid is ftill m the
ground, the quantity, price, efteem thereof, ihall be according
to the potency, vertue or debility of the Fortune*
If you find the thing hid to be unremoved, then he proceeds
and faith. Behold the Lord of the afeendant & the }>, if th<-re be
any good afpeft betwixt them, and that Fortune which fignified
the Treafure to be there, viz. agood afpeft and reception, he
that demands the queftion fnall then hive the thing enqui¬

HEN this queftion is demanded by a man or wo¬

man, long before marriage, or by fome ancient
~

Batchelour, or Maid, Whether they fljall ever have any

Child or Children, yea or not ? herein generally you are
to consider, whether the Signe upon the fifth, orafccnding,
be of thofe we call Fruitful!, yea or no, ( viz* S fll X ) and
whether the Lord of the afeendant (be the Signe what it will)
or the I> be in afpeft with the Lord of the fifth houfe, and that
afpeft be either d ^ A or □ (though d is not properly an
afpeft)which if it befo, and the Planet to whom theLord
of the fifth doth apply, or is in afpeft with, be free from Com-
buttion, and other Accidental! or Effentiall misfortunes, its
an argument the good old Batchelour or ftale Maid, or who¬
ever propounds the Qjueftion, (hall have Children or Iflue ere
they dye; In like cafe judge, if the Lord of the fifth be in the
afeendant, or elfe the D, or the Lord of the afeendant in the
fifth, for this is a ftrong argument of having IfTue ©r Children,
but if neither the Lord of the afeendant or the D apply to the
Lord of the fifth, yet if there be rendring of vertueor light one
unto another, or translation or colleftion by or from the prin¬
cipal! 'Signtfk'Atm, you may ttiil continue your judgment, that

the Querent (hall have iffue, but not To foone, as if it had been
forefeen by the firft manner of judgement. After all this, have
refpeft to that Planet who is receiver of the Difpofiii jn of the
Significators j who if he be clcer from misfortune or afrli&ion,
sns.from Retrogradation, Combuftion, or Cadency in Honfe,
it gives great hopes of iftue. See alfo if that Planet from whom
the is operated be Lord of the fife Signe from the Signe
wherein the Planet is to whom the }) applies, and both thefe
Planets have any afpeffc to each other ; that alfo doth teftifis
the party (hall have Children or a Childe. if no Afpeft hap¬
pen betwixt them, its not then likely he will have any; and
yet fome fay, that if the above named Planets or Significators
be not in any Afpefr, yet if the Planet to whom the 2> applies
be In an Angle, the Querent may have IlTue.
If a Woman aske3xvbeiber foe may conceive ?
Many tim ,’S a Woman married, having been long without
Children, may inquire, whether (lie is like to Conceive, yea or
no ? In this CLieftion you are to confider :
If the Lord of the Afcend int be in tl\e feventh, or the Lord’
of the lift in the firft, or the Lord of the Krft in the fift, or if the
Lord of the lift be in the feventh, or the Lord of the feventh in
the lift,or the J> with him,or good Planets in the Ai Cendant,or
with the Lord of the ftft,or in any of the Angles, Ihe may then
conceive:but it none ofthe(e teiliihonies concurremand you find
barren Signs andill Planets to be in the iormer places, Ihe nei¬
ther is at prefent concieved, or will hereafter conceive, if good
and bad Planets be mixed together, Ihe may perhaps conceive
or have children,,but they will not live : if S', rn. or X be in
the Afceniant or file, (he may have children ; out if 51 be
there, vihe neither is at prelent, or hardly alter will be with-
Child. When women have bin long without children,and pro¬
pound fiich a queftion, fee if their Nativity did not originally
deny children.
/tt wbal tirttiyor bow l&ng it may he ere foe have a Childe ?
7f you finde that according to natural! caufes fhe may have a
Childe or Children 9 and the Querent is defirous to know neer
whati
 7be Refolntion of
what time: fee then where thou findeft the Lord of the fife
haule^i^-if in t}he Afcendant or fir ft houfe$ then judge the firft
yeere j if in the fecond houfe, the fecond yeere; if the tenth
houfe, the third yeer 5 if in the feventh, the fourth yeer; if in
the fourth houfe, the fift yeer. And herein you muft be careful!
in confidering what figne the Lord of the fift houfe is in 5 for
the fwiftnefle of a Planet in a moveable fign doth fomewhat
, haften the time; a double bodied Signe doth not manifeft fo
ibone 5 fixed Signer prolong the matter; ho we ver, this is
worthy of yourcofi®deration, that let the Significator be in
what Signe he will be, yet if he be iwift in motion and dire&,
he doth make the more hafte in performance of the bufineffe
rhe is a fignificator in, and cauieth the matter fooner to be ac¬
complished.

Behold the Afcendant, and if fortunate Planets behold the

fame, and the Lord thereof be in the Afcendant, or in the
rr
tenth, eleventh or fift Houfe, and you finde V alfo well pla¬
ced together with that Planet who is Lord of the Triplicity
afeending, and he be not Combuft or Retrograde 5 judge then,
if the Man aske the Q*'ieftion, he may have Children, oris ca¬
pable of getting them. If a Woman in<prire,fay, fhe may Con-
ceive, and is not naturally barren. If the Lord of the afeen-
dant be in the fourth or feventh, and % in a good Houfe of hea¬
ven, doe you fay, the party fhali have a Childe a long time af¬
ter the asking of the Queftion.
But if you finde the Afcendant affli&ed, or infortunated by
the Malevolent Planets, and the Lord of the Afcendant in an
evill place or Houfe of heaven, and % Cadent, or in the eight
or Combuft, or not fully elongated from the Sunne-beames 5
then (hall you judge he will have few Children, and they fick-
ly, hardly any to jive. Its alio a great figne of non*concepti¬
on, or no capacity to conceive, when the j) is unfortunate If
you finde a fortunate Planet in the fift Houfe, or having a be-

? i^dftimony of having a Childe in a littlecompafle of time; but;
if an infortune be in the fift ill dignified, Combuft, Retro¬
grade, flow of motion, &c. the Qyerent will have no Chil¬
dren p but if the lnfortune be dire& and fwift. Orientally and
in any of his effentiall dignities, he (hall fignifie Children 5 the
more Children if V $ or ®- be in or A with him out of
good houfes : you mud ever remember, that the neerer a For¬
1
tune is to the Afcendant, the fooner the Querent may expert
Childrens the more remote the longer time mu ft be allowed*
Others obferve this rule following. That if ¥ be in the Afcen-
dant or fift, and in a Signe which is not barren, its an argu¬
ment the Querent may have a Childe 5 there is alfo much
ftrength in the Lord of the houte > for if he be angular with
reception of the Lord of that ,Angle where he Is, or in the ele¬
venth or lift with the like reception, it is a fure teftimony of
having Children. In all Queftions concerning Children, be
’ carefull of the age of the .Querent, or fome other natural or he¬
reditary infirmity incident to the Querent, and^ feldome con¬

clude wtihout two teftimonies.

be, confider if the Lord of the afcendant, the |>, and Lord of

the Children then (hall live,but if he be Retrograde, Combuft,
Percgrine,or otherwife unfortunate, neither will the Children
live long, or will the Parents take comfort of thefe Children.
After this, confider V 5 who naturally fignifieth Children, if
he be in the afcendant, third, fife, ninth or eleventh houfe,
free from all manner of misfortune; you may affirme the Wo¬
man fhall fhortly conceive, perhaps upon the firft congreflTe or
coition after the asking of the queftion, or a little after, and
the matter feems as good as done.
If 9 be in the fifth noway impedited, and fome other For-
iune be there befides, it haftens the time, and fhe will conceive
very fuddenlv. But if % be in the aforefaid places impedited,
fay, that either fhe is not conceived, or if fkePbe, it will not
come to perfe&ion, for the Woman (hall fuffer abortion. In
like manner if 9 be unfortunate by T? or , or be under the
© beames, or Combuft, the Woman is not conceived, unlefife
a For tune be in the fifth houfe, and then file is more affuredly
with childe, or (hall be fhortly ; yet you may j u illy teare fhe
will fuffer mifchance ere the birth.
If either T? or , or efpedally <8 be in the fifth,or the two

g be there, I fay, they are too much lordly over him or her,or
their Children, and over-awe them, and keep them in too
much fuje&ton; if T? be the Planet impediting. Hay, they arc
too aufiere, dogged, and too much dole filled* and expert more

he is too too jealous, and tooinifirufifull of the actions of his

If you find the application is from a Fortune by a □ or <? or

who colle&s or translates the vertue of one to another, be
Lord of the eleventh, he comes to rtnew the League of Friend¬
ship betwixt the two Nations : It the Lord of the fift be unfor¬

to either of them, there is then no likelihood of Lin ty, or to

no folid peace may be expe&ed from any aft performed or to

Obferve this generally, if the Signrfcator>of the Embajfadour

the feventh houfe and his Lord unto him to whom the :/ nr
ger if lent, the MelTage to the l, the Lord of the fifth to the
Meffenger and managing of the Bulinefie : If you find the
Lord of the fifth fepa rated from the Lord of the feventh, and
applying to the Lord of the. afcendant, you may judge the
Meffenger hath effe&ed the thing he went about,is departed from
him, and returning home againeIf the Lord of the fift be
feparated from the Lord of the fecond houfe, he brings Mo¬
ney with him, whether a Lor tune or Inf or tune, be Lord, of that
houfe; and you mu ft underhand, that the anlwer which the
Meffenger brings is of the nature of that houfe, whole Lord is
the Planet from whom the Lord of the fift is leparated, and of
the Planet himfelfe > lo that if you find his feparation from a
good Planet, it givesliopes of a good Anlwer, the contrary
when feparation is from the Inf or tunes: If the Signifi cater of the
Meffenger doe apply by □ pr cf to an Infortune^ before he is fe¬
parated from the Lord of die feventh, you may then acquaint
ihe Querent} that his Meffenger hath had fome impediment in
cffe&ing his Bulinelfe by the party to whom he was fent, and
ihat he al|p fufiaioed fome hiaderance in his Journey,., ere he

came to the place to which he was lent: but if this application
Co an Jnfortune happen after that the Lord of the lift was fepara-
ted from the Lord of the feventh,the Meffenger will have del ayes
or misfortune in his returning home againe; if you find an In-
fortune in the ninth, he will hardly travell fafe for Theeves; if
a Fortune be in the ninth, judge his going and returning will Be
fafe.
Concerning the fending of Foot-Pop, Lackeys, &e. about any
F cflage or Errand, whether they fhall come to their Journeys
end, or fafe to the place unto which they are fent, behold the'
Lord of the afcendant and the D, and if either the one or the

Vertue, what his Debility, and accordingly frame your judg¬
ment according to Fortunes, or they dwelling or being in
Significant Hcutes, portend good, the Infortunes the con¬
trary.
If there be reception between the Lord bf the fift and feventh,
and any amicable afpe&, your Mejfnger was well received and
entertained by him to whom he Went, yea though tire applica¬
tion be by □ or cP, yet he-was well received ; but the^ party

owne defence, concerning the thing fent unto-him for. For
your Meflengers returne when it fhall be; behold if the Lord of

and let the Figure thereof, and fee what correipondency there

that whoever propounds a Queftion to the Afirologer^ 1 meane

Sigms of a long crfl/ort Sickrtcjfe.

If the Signe of the fixt be fixed, expeft a long Difeafe; a

moveable Signe, fhort continuance; a common Signe, a medi¬
ocrity, neither too long or fhort, but for the moft part, an ah*
teration of the Difeafe, and returne of it againe.
Theiaft degrees of any Signe being upon theeufp of the fixt
home, the difeafe is almofl at an end, or is either altering
for kctt*r or worfe: fixed Signes doe argue the humour not to
be expulfed Without much time and difficulty.
When the Lord of the fixt is of evill influence, and placed in
the fixt, its an ill Gwen* or an unlucky figneof a durable and
great ficknefle : but if in the like nature a Fortune be there, the
Difeafe will foon be cured, nor is it mortal!: When the Lord
of the fixt is ftronger then the Lord of the afeendant, the Di£
eaie is like to encrcafe, advife the Patient to take fit remedies,
for Nature js weaker then the Difeafe ; but if the Lord of the
lixt houfe be more weak then the Lord of the afeendant, then
be allured nature will be able to overcome the malignity of the
Difeafe, without much afliftanceof the Phyfician : When h is
Lord of the fixt houfe, and fixed in the Sign, he is in,heex-
treamly prolongs the Difeafe 5 if he be Retrograde or flow in
motion, he performes the fame ;hut if he be in a moveable Sign
and in any of his Termes, or fwift in motion, he is not then
much unfortunate, or will he greatly prolong the Difeafe : a
moveable Signe in the fixt, and the D likewife, and no impe¬
diment otherwayes appearing, the Difeafe continues but a
while 5 common Signes doe more long continue any infirmity,
except X, for that being upon thccufp of the fixt, I ever found

' it equivalent to a moveable Signe : If the 3> apply by ill afped
to the Lord of the afcendant, the Difeafe encreafes; if the D
be in the fixt in ill afped with 9, the lick may thank himfelfe
for his Dileafe, he is a difbrderly fellow, and of ill Dyet; and
if 9 be in TTt ,8cc. he hath got a clap of feme uncleane woman j
if a woman ask, fhe hath too great Flux of the Whites or Reis,
or the Difeafe is occasioned by her owne Folly, &c.
" If the Lord of the lixt apply to the Lord of the afcendant by
□ or cP, the Difeafe is*encreaiing, and is not yet at his height
or full growth; fo alfo the Lord of the lixt in the eighth or
twelfth,is an ill argument and great preemption, that the par-
ty Tick muil be more afflded ere his Dileafe leave him : If an in-
fortunate Planet be in the lixt, and is removing out of one Sign
' into another, the Difeafe will Ipeedily alter : if its delired
IFbeX) or how long it may he before it doe jo ? then lee how many
degrees the malevolent Planet wants ere he can get out of the
: Signe, and thereby judge fo many Moneth, Weeks or Dayes ac¬
cording to the nature and quality of the Signe : if the Lord of
<he lixt be Retrograde, Combuft in the eighth or twelfth, and
and in □, cP or d with T?, d , or Lord of the eighth or
fourth of the Figure, he prenotes much infirmity, a long con¬
tinued and ftidden alteration of the Difeafe from better to
Worfe, if not Death it felfe ; the Lord of the lixt in the eighth,
and Lord of the eighth in the lixt, there being alfo a if or A
afped betwixt both Significators, you lhall not doubt of the
death of the Patient at that time, for the Heavens doe declare,
that Nature is not yet to overcome, or fo weak, but that the
lick fhali overcome it: if there happen any A ^ or d betwixt
the Lord of the lixt aild if, and he in the ninth, and the ]) le-
parate from the Lord of the lixt to If , fo in the ninth houfe
poiited, it’s an allured argument, that the Medicines which the
Phimian prescribes, or whichthe Patient hath already taken,
have caufed the party to be very lick at time of their takings
and whileft they operated,and that the Medicines wrought effe-
dually in the outward parts ot the Body, but afterwards the
fick felt great comfort*, and hath found great emendation in the
parts of his Body, affiided at time of his firft being ill * either ^

fortified, he hurts little y and you may rather judge, the Difeale
is happened cafually and fuddenly, then upon any prepared
matter in the Body beforehand,therefore let the lick be of good
comfort: fo likewise when you find a Benevolent Planet well
fortified in the fixt, and he not author of the Difeafe, you may
fafely judge, the Difeafe is not, or will be permanent.
Many times it happens that in fome Country.townes, peo-
pie are afraid of Witches j If the Lord of the twelfth be in the fixt
when miftrufi is had byany fiich Querent,it's a ilrong argument
the fuppofidon is true, that the party is vexed by an evil! Spi¬
rit, or by Fafeination •, when you find in the QiicfUon of a lick*
party, the Lord of the fixt in the afeendant, and the Lord ot
the afeendant in the fixt,, you may give Judgment the Difeafe
hath been of longcondnuance,and wrll continue untill one ot
the Signijicators get out of theSigne wherein he is 5 and if it
happen, at the time of the Planets tranfit out of one Signe into
another, he meet with the Q or cP of the Lord of the fourth or
eighth, or with the oppreffing or malicious afpett of h or d,
and they flow in motion, in Signes odioufly beholding or afpe-

and feems unite removed at feme times, or the Patient fome-
times is not (enfible of paine : but if he be in a Cadent houfe,
the Difeafe is neither very grievous, or will it endure any long

when the Lord of the afeendant is in the fourth or eighth, and

The Lord of the afeendant in an Angle, having no configu¬
ration to any malevolent Planet, but being in a benevolent
houfe of Heaven, and not under the 0 beam :s, or Retrograde,
you may'judge the Qjerent is in no danger at this time : when
the Lord of the alL ndant is fwift in motion, and entring into
another Signe, or going out of his, c wne houfe into another,
fo it be not into the Signe of the lixt or twelfth, the Difeafe
will quickly determine : if the Lord of the afeendant be not
affliCted in himfelfe, or by any ill afpeCt of the malevolent Pla-
nets,or Planets of a contrary nature unto himfelfe, but is fwift
in motion,and in fome good afpeCt with the fortunate Planets,
ids a ftrong argument that tht nature of the Difeafed or Qjerm
is nothing diminifhed, but is able to overcome the malignity of
the Difeafe, and thac in a very ffiort time; but if the Significaior
of ihe fick be afflicted powerfully, ids a figne of a firong fit of
fickneffe j the greater it will be, when the Significator of life is
more weak then the Planet afflicting : if all the Sigmp caters of
the Difeafe br in Signes fixed, it prenotes a great fpace of time
ere the Patient can be cured, nor will the cure be eaiiiy perfect¬
ed ; when the Lord of the afeendant is applied unto by a male¬
volent Planet, it retards the cure, prolongs the infirmity,
though at prefent great hopes appeare; fo doth alfo the 2

when the D decreafes in light and motion, and comes to the

gerous: when the D is in d with a Planet that is Orientall

grade or Planet Occidental!, look for the contrary.
When you find iri afcending, you may for the moft part
| idge, the party was caufe of his owne infirmneiTe, euher by
peevifhneffe, folly, choller or the like ^ and your judgment
will be more firme, if *d be then placed in TTL : if both the L«-
minaries be in Cadent houfes, -and the Planet or Planets that
are their Difpolitors be unfortunate, the Querent may expeef a
terrible ficknefle} if the Fortunes affift in judgment, yet will the
ficknefle be of long continuance, and of a fharp Difeafe, prove
chronick, yet beyond all expedition, the lick party will reco¬
ver ; and the more confident be in your judgment, by how
much more ftrong the Fortunes are dignified above the Infor¬
tunes s when you find d Lord of the afeendant and pofited in
the fixthou^e, in ^ or a with $ , nay, if he be in □ or eP of
her, there’s no great danger.
If the Lord of the fixt be Combuft or Retrograde,in his Fall
or Detriment, and in the eighth, in d 3 □ or cP of 1? or d",
you may-doubt, and not unjuftly, that the Difeafe will never
leave the fick party till death ; and if the ]) have equall tefti*
mony to the former Sianipcators, viz. if fhe alfo apply to the □
■1P or d of the Lord oftheeight,your former judgment will be
very certaine ; If either the D or Lord of the afeendant be in □
d or cP to a benevolent Planet, Retrograde, the fick will re¬
cover, but not in hafte, for it’s an argument of the prolongati¬
on of the Difeafe, and relapfing out of one Difeafe into ano*
ther : When you find the receded from cP of the to be
fwift in motion, and haftens to the □ or of d it will
come to pafle, that the Difeafe which the Querent now under-
roes*> will be grievous and mortall $ but if (he falute at the fame

lame time the or A of % or 5 , the fick (hall recover. There’s
julually no danger if the D at time of the Queftion be ftrong,
and the Lord of the afcendant free from misfortune, and in no
afpeft to the Lord of the fixt, yet when the D at time of the
Queftion applies to h, or is impedited, it*s an ill Omen and fign
of a fickneffe at hand, and that the Querent miftrufts his owne
health, is (ick, but knowes not were to complaine, or in what
part of the Body the infirmity is placed.
At the time of ones firft lying down,if the 2> be placed in the;
afcendant,in o' Dor:<p of T? ore? ,or of any other unfortunate
Planet, it’s a fign of ill,& (hews ill,unlefTe the D be in recepti¬
on with the Planet or Planets fo affli&ing : It’s very confidera*
ble to obferve at the time of the Queftion, what Signe the $ is
in ; if in a fixed, expeft a long fit of fickneffe ; in a moveable
Signe, quick difpatch *,in a Common or Double-bodied Signe,
the Difeafe will not be very difficult to cure,but fomewhat long
in caring : and thus much more you muft confider, that if there
be tranflition of light (from that Planet who rsDifpofitor of
the }>, and he unfortunate) to the Lord of the afcendant, or
Signe afcending, it gives great fufpition that the Querent will
. have a (harp fickneffe, according to the nature of the Signes and
Planets fignifying the infirmity.

'ietfimonies that the Querent fball live and not dye of the
infirmity now affli&wg.

When it is demanded feriouOy, if you conceive the Querent

(hall efcape the SickneiTe he now languishes under, or fhaU

and therein obferve thefe rules following : That if the 2> be
feparated from a malevolent, weak Planet (that is ill dignified)
and is applying to a Fortune powerfully ftrong, the fick party
will be reftored to former health ; where T? is Oriental! of the
©, and Sigmficator of the Dileafe, it proceeding from Cold,
(which is the true nature of T? without mixture) the Patient
will recover 5 if you find in like cafe, that h is Occidental!,
and the generall Sigmficators doe incline or manifeft, that the

When you find there is any reception between the Lord of
the attendant and Lord of the eighth, and neither of them in-
fommated by the malignant Planets, arter defperation, there
will be recovery : the Lord of the afeendant in reception
of the Lord of the eighth by Houfe or Triplicicy, the For-
Uincs afiilting either with their A or the degree afeending or
of the fixt houfe, or the 2) her felfe, there’s no danger of death,
but the lick will perefe&ly recover ; fo alfo, when the Lord of
the afeendant (hall happen to be a benevolent Planet, and pla¬
ced in the firfl, tenth, eleventh, fife or third houfe, being no
wayes endangered by the G or cP configuration of theMale-
volents, it prenotes fanity: fo doth alfo the pofition of the
Fortunes in the Mid-heaven or firfl houfe, at what time the fick-
nefie fi.il afliulced the ficke perfon, nothing is a morefure
argument of health,or tint the party lick fhall live, then when
you find the ® X 9 or the 2> in the afeendant ot the Qiiefti-
on, not any wayes damnified by the hateful! afpeft of the Lord
of die eighth or lixt; and th*s argument is more certaine, if the
aforefaid Signifieditors be in good Signes, that is, in either of V
his houfes, or in s or SI, or b : when the Moone is in
her owne houfe, or in the houfe of % or <? , and there in either
of their afpt ft, free from any ill afpe& of h or <$* > ilie fignifies
health and life.
Ids a good argument of recovery, when in your Qjieftion
yon find the Moon in 6 with V , let V be in what Signe he
will it denotes good, but Idle in v? then in any other Signe,
for neither the Moon or % have any delight therein, that Signe

able therein to expreflc the ftrength of his influence. When the
Moon is applying to the Lord of the afcendimt by A or ^ a(-
pe&, andftie be cleer of all misfortune, or not impedited by the
Lord of the eighth,or fixt efpecially,health and life are pro mi-
fed : fafety is alio to be expe&ed, when the Moon (hall be well
affe&ed and poficcd in a Succeeding boufe, provided, (he be en-
creafingin light and motion, and not neer the bodies of T? or
, or infe&ed with their Rayes: the Moone either in the
firft, tenth, eleventh, ninth, fecond, third or fifth, in A or
with the Lord of the afeendant, or with his Antifcion, yea,
if he be a malevolent Planet, fo that neither the Lord of the
afeendant or the Moon have any other impediment, it doth ar¬
gue life.
When at the firft falling fide of the in fir me Body, the Moon is
voyd ofcourfe, and at her next Crifis meets with a ^ or A of
Tpf or $ , in that very degree which makes a perfed Cry/fr, the
fick fhall recover, be he never fo much pained or grieved at the

in th. firft beginning or approach of a DUeafe, the Suvne, Mson
and Lord of the afeendant are free from the ill afpe&s of the In*
fortunes op Lord of the eighth, there needs no feare or fufpitiori'
to be made of the death ot the then fick party, or when the Be¬

The Lord of. the afcendant and the Moon in cf with the Lord
of the eighth, without the interpofing afpe&s of the Fortunej,
threatens death.
The Lord of the eighth in 3n Angle, the Lord of the afcen¬
dant in a Cadent, is alwayes mortal! , the rather if he be an In¬
fortune.
The application of the Mom to a Planet in the eighth, is al¬
wayes dangerous : The application of the Lord of the afcen¬
dant unto the Lord of the eighth or unto malevolent Planets
therein, the Moone being any manner of way corrupt, denoats
death.
The Moon transferring the light and influence of the Lord of
the afcendant to the Lord of the eighth, brings ufiially death :
fo alfo when the Lord of the eighth is in the afcendant,the Lord
of ^the afcendant and the Moon being both affli&ed: It alfo
proves fatal! when the Lord of the afcendant; is infortunate in
the eighth, the Moon being then corrupted or very weak, and In
no eflentiaJl Dignity : the Lord ot the afcendant being Subter-
ranean,and in any afpeft to the Lord of the eighth in the eight,
or if he be in the fourth, and the Lord of the eighth in the
[ fourth, and they both in o', argue death : it’s a very ill figne

fucceeds well with the fick perfon then.
Have fpeciall confideration to the Luminary of the time, for

The Lord of the alcendant and of the eighth unfortunate,
prenote death.
The Lord of the eighth in the tenth Houle, and Lord of the
afcendant in fourth, fixt or llventh, afflicted of the malevolent
Piamts, argue death.
A Planet very ftrong, and placed in the afcendant, if he be
Lord of the houre and of the eighth, portends death : if the

it lliewes death : The Lord of the eighth in the leventh, the

Of the qualitie and nature of the Difeafe*

Although formerly I have briefly given dire&ionsherein,

yet now I hold it fit to be more copious, and defire the Learner
that he will contfaft what I write into fueh a Method as may
belt pleafe his owne Phanlie 5 and be inabled to nuke the belt
ufe ofit for his owne advantage. When therefore you have
ere&ed your Figure, conhder what Planet is fignificator of the '
Difeafe j and if you doe fmde T? to be figniheator, he produ¬
ced! continued and tedious Sickndfes,qnarten Agues,Cough?,
confumptions, &c. If he be in a or in m. with y on a, or'
Gombi!(i,or if T? be with violent fixed Scarres, he affii&s the'
ficke party with peftilent and dangerous Feavers, and it may
bedoubted (where fufpition of Poyfon is) that the Sicke hath
| been indeavoured to be Poy foiled, or hath taken fome potion
etjuivolent to Poyfon.
When T? Is in Signes of the fiery Triplicity, as T $1 f , he
ulilally fignifies Hectkk-Fesvers 5 if he be in s ill or K, the
caufe and matter of the Difeafe growes from fome cold and
moyft caufe or matter, or diftemper 5 and this more affaredfy
if $ or 2',who are moyft PLmets,have together with him any
iigniheation in the Difeafe, the matter then afflicting or caufe
of the difeafe is moregroffe and vkions with long Paroxifmes, *
with ebbing and flowing of the Difeafe; the licke party is al-
nioft overwhelmed with horror, dreadyartd fearful! imaginati¬
ons, with extreame chilnefie and coldnefle.
% When h is in fixed Signes, as in 51 ss, he affi&s the Pa¬
tient with durable and long continued Agues and Feavers, pe-
ftorall rotenneffes, or dry coughs, the joynt Gout, Leprofic,
or general! Scabbinelfe all over the Body , alt manner of
Gouts,

T? being in moveable Signes, as T & S v? , prenotes S
generall Flux of humours all-over the Body, principally the
Dropfie or Tympanicall humours. Being in common Signes,
the Difeale proceeds not from the dilaffe&ion of one humour
.alone, but hath many changings, receding and reverting, arid
yet the Dileale continues a long time.
V When he is author of the Sicknefle, he demonftrates ill
afte&ion of the Liver, and a corruption of the blood either by
• inflamation, or other caufts of nature agreeable to the Signe
wherein he is policed, as if in S, or in a moy ft Sign the blood j
is waterifti, or too thin* 8cc. if in T SI or its overheated
? by fome extravagant ex cefle of heat or choller, if in ss & or
H the Blood over-flowes, theres too much, breathing of a
Veine is neceflary or Sweating, if in v? or n?, the blood is
infe&cd with Melancholly, too grofle, and not fluent. X in
fiery Signs he caufesFeavoursproeeeding from blood,yet with¬
out rottennefle or ftore of putrifa&ion.
When cT is joyned with the ©, it prenotes a diftempered
Fea ver procreated, by putrifa&ion of the blood.
If cf be fignificator of the Difeafe and in fiery Signes affix¬
ing the Luminaries or theAfcendant or Lord of theAlcendant,
he procreates hot burning Feavours, fome mixture of Melan¬
cholly 5 if Saturne be mixed in the Judgement, that is,if he have
any thing to do in the Signification of the Difeale, or cf in any
of his dignities#
When ef is in common Signes, the difeale will not ealily be
difeovered, it will come and goe, and be at no certainty, yet at
ivhat time it leemes to leave, if Saturne have any fignification
and be in afpeft with good Planets, the Difeafe will quite goe
away, but if then Saturne be with the Lord of the eight ot lixr,
the Sicke may expeH death : Ulually when d" is in common
Signes the Patient is vexed with many infirmities and they a-
ciite, returning when expe&ation is of amendment $ the lyrap-
tomes hereof are fudden motions, and more quicke and fpeedy
Cricicall dayes, either to good or ill, according to the nature
of the Significator : under the beames of the © in the lixt
or in the twelfth, iii fiery Signes, brings fcorching or burning
inflaming Feavours, that is, Feavers exceeding, specially in
heat, and as it were boyling the Blood. g be*

in □ or cP of h 3 or in Saturne his Antifcion, the Difeafe
then afflicting is meerly Melancholly * if the ® be afflicted of or
by cf. with the aforefaid Afpe&s, the Difeafe is from Cholier :
being Significatrix of the Difeafe, fhewes it proceeds of in-

When 5 is unfortunate and is author of the Difeafe,the fick;
party hath his Brain difa£L6fced, isdifturbed with an unquiet '
Fancy or Minde, with a Frenzie, Falling-ficknefle, Cough,5
Ptifflck, or the like. When the Lord of the ninth is in the fixt,

Whether the Difeafe he in the right or left fide or fart of the Body

When you finde the Lord of the fixt unfortunate or affif&ect *

above the earth (that is in the 12,11,10,9,8,7. houfes)the Dif¬

of 5 if the Lord of the fixt be under the earth, viz, in the 1,2,
$'4?$36. houfes, or vitiated in a diurnall Signe, the Difeafe is
jn the fuperiour and fore-part-of the body,as in the fore-head,
flomacke, &c, if in a no&urnall Signe, the infirmity is in the "
back part of the Body.
If the Significator of the Difeafe be in a Feminine Srgne,and Y
in* Afpeft to a Feminine Planet in a Feminine Signe or Houfe, -
the Difeafeis in the left fide of the Body. I ever finde this ge- >
nerall rule to hold true, viz, if the Lord of the fixt be a Mafcu-
line Planet and above the earth, the right fide of the Sicke is
pained j and if the Significator be in few degrees of the Signe,*
the -

the upper part of that Member isjpained or grieved; if the Sig-
nificator be in the middle of the Signe, the middle part of the
Member is diftrelTed, and fo the Tower part of the Member*
when the fignificator poffeffeth the lower degrees of the Sign.

Whether tbe-Difeafe be in the BoJy3 Minds or both*

You muft underhand in the firft plaee, that the Signe afeen*
ding the D and the Lord of the houfe wherein the ® is, doe
fliew the Spirit of Man,and that theLord of the Alcendant,the
Planet who is difpolitor of the I>, doth denote both the ex*
ternall and internail Members. Wherefore in giving judge¬
ment herein, you may confider if the Afcendant ® and $ be
all vitiated or affii&ed, the Difeafe is then through the whole
Body, or no place is free : but if thole Planets who difpofe of
the® and D, or he that is Lord of the Afcendant, or two of
them at lead be affli&ed, the Difeafe is in the Spirits together
with fome indifpofkion of Minde; thereafon hereof is, bej
caufe the Lord of the Afcendant and Difpolitor of the I) are
properly the Significators of the Animal faculties and infirmi¬
ties in Man, or which may chance unto him ; as deprivation
of Sence, Madneffe, Frenzie,Melancholly,&c.
If the Afcendant, the }) and Lord of the Houfe of the ® are
all or but two of them impedited, the infirmity refts in the
Minde but not in the Body.
If the Afcendant and the j> be both unfortunate, and "the
Lord of the Afcendant and Difpolitor of the 2> free, the indif*
pofition is in the Minde and not in the Body. This generall
rule many Aftrologians obferve, viz. that 7? naturally fore-
fhewes or caufeth MeJancholly, all manner of diftempers from
?vlelanch©lly;and by confequence the difturbed Minde; where¬
fore wherefoever you finde 7? Lord of the Afcendant or of the
Hpurj, or twelfth Houfe,or lixt,or if the D feparate from him,
or if 7? be in the fixt houfe, or in the Afcendant, or in cf □
or cp < f che Lord of theAfcendant,the fick-party labours with
tame affti&ion of Minde, or with fome vexatious care where¬
with his minde is much troubled ; now the contrary hereof
¥ effefts, for he never oppreffeth the Minde but the Body, if
the

I
 all manner of Quetfmif.
theLord of the Houfe of the 5 and of the Afeendant are un¬
fortunate by the ®, or Combuft5 or tinder his beames, the in-
firmity is Bodily.
If that Planet who rules the Signs wherein the Lord of the
Afeendant is in, and he who is Difpoiitor of the Moone be in-
fortunate in their fall, detriment or otherwayes very much af-
Bi&ed,the Difeafe raises more in the Minde then in the Body.
If a Planet in the Afcendant,6r the Afcendant,or if the Lord
of the Houfe of the Moone be oppreffed in the twelfth by a ^ p
or cP of cf 5 the Difeafe is both in Body and Minde. A Planet
being; by nature malevolent, beholding the Afeendant and not
the Moone, and together with this, if the Lord of the Signe
where the ® is be affiiCted, the party is grieved in Minde, but
not fick in his Body. Alfo, if the degree afeending and de¬
gree of that Signe wherein the D is be more aftii&ed then the
Lords of thofeSignes, the Difeafe ranges more in the Minde
then Body,and fo the contrary when theLords are more afiUft-
ed then the parts of the Signes before mentioned. If the Lord
of the Afeendant and the ® be In their exaltations, and the
difpoiitor of the 3) in his detriment or fall, &c. the Difeafe
raignes in the Body, not in the Minde. When the Lords of the
places of the 3) and of the ® be in their detriments, fals, or
Peregrine,Retrograde, Combuft, and the degree afeending in
□ of the I); and free from the ill afpeCts of T? and , then is
the Patient vexed with a tormented Soule. Iffually when the

the Lame, the pofition of Heaven ought to be well coufidered
and knownc, fet or ere&ed for the houre of his firft falling lick,

If the certaine hour of the parties firft falling fick cannnot

Be cured: This is further to be considered, that during the
encreafe of the D in number and light, the Difeafe encreafeth :
when the }) growes flow in motion, the ficknefle diminifheth ;
this ought carefully to be regarded upon the firft infult of eve¬

Of the Crisis in Difeafes.
CR y s 1 s is no other thing then a duell or contention b®*
ewixt nature and the infirmity 5 if nature at $ime of the
Cryfi*.
Cryfis overcome the malignity of the Difeafe,it’s a good Cry fa >
if the ficknefle prevaile, ii*$ a pernicious and ill Cryfis, Ot*
-Q y s i s is no more then this, viz* A Hidden alteration of
man’s body when he is fick, tending either to health or further
ficknefle \ for when this Cryfis is, thert’s a (harp fight, as*k
were, betwixt nature and the Difeafe, whether of them ihall

°VDayes CriticaJl^Decretory and ChryfmaU are all one, and intend

no more then a certaine and more fure judgment of the infir¬
mity affii&ing, either more powerfully, or in a lefle meafure at
X times when the true Cbryfis is.
The true Cryfis is beft of all taken from that moment of
time when firft the ficknefle invaded the Infirme; whi<Jh. if it
cannot be had, then it may be taken (but not foceitainly)
from the very,hour when firft the Water is brought to the Do-
ftor to advife for recovery : but if no U rine come, then when
the Doftor firft fpeaks with the fick party, and is demanded
by the Infirmed what he thinks of his heknefie, and what courle
he would advife for cure thereof. f ... . .
Every fuddeaand vehement motion of the difea^e may »e
■railed aCnCts as Gakn&hh 5 or it is,not a locall motion alto-
 proceed from inferiour caufes, then according to diver* fick-
nefles and variety of humours, the (everall Critical!-dayes were
to be affumed, after a different way in tertians, quartans and
continued Feavers : But this, as many learned fay, cannot be,
therefore it is more generally received and concluded. That in
regard of the great dominion and influence the 3) hath upon
our inferiour Bodies, whereby (he doth excite and ftir up the
humours, that fhe by her motion doth declare the true Cryfis
of the difeafe, and that it is required from the time of the fide
parties firft falling fick, and her recefle and accefle forward and
backward to and from that place or degree of the Zodiack,
whereip &e was at the exa& time of falling fick $ or if that time
cannot be procured, then as beforefaid, take her true place ex-
d&ly re&ified to the hour of the Patients firft asking advice. I
have hereunto inferted a.Table, wherewith if you enter with
the place of the D in Signe and degree, you fhall eafily difeo.

drate or halfe Cry ft s') when to a true □, when to an <p (which
is called a full Cryfis, and fo to all the Indicative and Critical
dayes during the ficknefle, See. As for example ; let the place of
the D in the later Figure of the 15 th of July 1645. be fuppofed
the true period or beginning of a Difeafe, the place of the } is
1 42. nj? 5 becaufe 42. minutes doe almoft make one degree, F

You muft obferve, that upon any Criticallday (but especial¬
ly upon the firft Quartill) when 5 meets with the body or af-
peft ofa fortunate Planet, it’s very probable (if the party be
ordained for life) that nature will be fortified above the dif-
eafe; and this her good afpeft or application is a good indica¬
tion of health, and that the Phyfician nowimploytd (hall re-
ftore the fick party to former health by moft eafie Medicines ;
but if (he meet at that time with the unluckcy afpeft of an In-
fortune, it gives the Phyfician little hopes at prefent; the Cryjh
is then ill, and the Phyfician muft more warily proceed, 8tc.

argument he is as good as freed already from his Mafter: if no

2 Be not confident of the Judgment if either thefirfl degrees or later
of any Signe be afcending: if few degrees afeend, the matter is not yet
ripe for judgment: if the later degrees arifey the matter of the Question
is elap(ed,and it’s probable the Querent hath been tampering with othersb
or dejfaires of any fucceffe: however, the Heavens advife you not to med¬
dle with it at that time.

brings unto us the ftrength and vextue.. of all the other Vianet s, . and of one

by bis exccfie of cold 5 d is of ill influence, becaufe of bis too much heat:
in very truth, neither of them is cold or dry, but fignifie fo much in their
vertue and operationand therefore in all Qjiefthns they fhew tardity
and detriment in the-Queftion, unlejfe the. and they receive each other
in the Jtgnification•
7 See the condition of V and 9 be obferved, who naturally are For¬
tunes and temperate, and never import any malice, unlejfe by accident:
where they are Significator-s’ without reception, they put forward the
matter, but they beftperforme the matter in.quef!ion when they apply by
A or ^ , and to Purpofewhen in Ejfehtiall Dignities•

■ 14 We ought warily to confider if evill Planets be Significators in

more heavy; ;/ they foretell of any good, it’s lefie then what is expelled,
it’s impertett, and nothing therein comes, without infinite folicitation

15 A Planet that is flow in motion, prolongs the thing quefited after,
fo that it’s hardly performedthe nature of the Signe wherein the Pla¬

: 22 When in a Qucftion wherein both the Fortunes and lnfortunes
are either weak^ or equally ill placed, promife no fuccejfe upon that de¬
mand-, deferre the Judgment untill the Heavens have a better Po-
ft: ion*

25 Beware in adjudgments, when the Significator of the quirt ion

is either Comhufi, or in Oppofition to the © , he will then fitgniife no¬
thing of the matter, no good, nor is he able to bring any thing to per-
feci ion.
24 One Infortune joyned to another, if good be fiignified by their
a\$ett, yet will it have no effect, or come to any thing: If they figni-
fie evill, ifs probable that it may fall out with more malice then ex-
pelted.
2 5 The Lord of the afeendant out of his effentiall Dignities, Cadant,
&c, Jbewes the Querent is out of all hopes in his bufineffe.
2 6 A Planet within, twelve degrees of the ® , is f aid to be under his
Bedmes, and then hath no fortitude, let it be in what Signe it will 5 when
a Plattet is within ftxteen minutes of the ®, he is [aid to be in Cazimi,
or heat of the © , and then ids an addition of fortune, and he is wondrous
pong.
27 See to what Planet the Significator commits his dipofiuiony and
if Orient all or Occidental^ if it be to T? % or , and they Orientally
the matter is [o$mr performed -y later, if Occident all, doe the contrary in

that the thing pall continue,whether it be begun,or is to be begun:common
Signe s pew the oft probability of perfecting the thing, and yet not its con-
dufion: moveable Signes pew a fndden refolution or conclufion of the
matter one way or other. From hence we begin Foundations ofHoufes and
"Townes when Significators are fixed ; port Journeys when they are in
moveable: but in things wherein we defire a mediocrity, we eletf common
Signes.

Reception of the difpofition of the Significators, viz. of the

Children may be the occafion, (if either party have any 5) or if

Behold the afcendant, his lord and }>, thefe fignifie the que¬

If the lord of the afcendant or the 3) bejoynedto the lord

on, the parties will eafily of themfelves accord, and compofe
all differences without mediation of any, or with a little en¬

But if one receive the other, and he that is received, receive
not the other Signifcator, they fhall agree without Suit of law,
but not without intermillion of a third party or more; and
thofe that intercede, for the moft part (hall be his Friends or
Acquaintance that did receive the other Planet.
I If they, viz. the lord of the feventh and afcendant are in a
□ afpeft, or in cP, with mutuall Reception, or in a or A
without Reception, they will be reconciled, but firft they will
have one little combate at law : and you mull obferve,that uni¬
ty (hall proceed from that party whole Signifieator is lefle pon¬
derous,and commits his difpofition to the other; and this con¬
cord fhall be the more firrne, if both Significators receive one
another : If the lighter Planet be joyned to the more weighty,
and receive him not, but the fuperiour Planet receive him, it
argues, he that receives would accord whether his Adverfary

' Having confidered the former ftgnificators, do you obferve the *7
ftgnificator of the Judge, who is ever the lord of the tenth houfe,
and whether he afpeft either of the jignifi-cators, viz. whether
the lord of the afcendant or feventh, or be in d with either of
them; fee if the lord of the afcendant haftens to the d of the
lord of the fevenui, or the lord of the feventh to him, and that
theiord of the tenth houfe doth fruftrate their d , it’s then an
argument they fhall not agree before they have been at law,
and herein the Judge or Lawyer feems faulty, who will not per¬
mit the parties to compofe their differences: fee if the 3> tranf-
ferre light between the lord of the afcendant and feventh j if
(he doe not, fee if any other Planet carry their influence or
light to each other} for if it be fo, it’s lLke fome or other in-
terpofe their paines, and reconcile the parties though they be
in law.
See after this, whether the lord of the afcendant or feventh
be ftrongeft, for he whole fignificator is moft powerfull, ought
to have the vi&ory; he is flrongeft, who is in an angle, and in
fome of his eflentiall Dignities; the greater his ftrengthis,
how much greater the eflentiall Dignity is wherein he is 5 and
if he be alfo received by any other Planet, it's an argument that
party is able, and that he hath the more Friends toaffifthim:
if you doe find that they will compound, the firft mover there¬
unto, will be on the part of the lighter Planet, who commits
his difpofition to the other; for if the lord of the afcendant be
more light, and the lord of the feventh more ponderous, the
firft motion of peace fhall come from the querent, and fo e contra-
rio: A Planet in a cadent houfe is more weak, if not received
or afiifted by the afpeft of fome other * if the lord of the feventh
houfe be in the afcendant, then the querent, without doubt over¬
comes, and the Adversary will yeeld j the like happens to the
querent, viz. that he fhall be overcome : and this happens not W*herihe
onely in law Suits, and for Moneys, but alfo in Fights, the fame

qaeftion; if the lord of the feventh be retrograde, it argues the
fame things on the quefitea’s part.
Behold thefignifcater ofthtjudge who is to give fentence in the
Caufe wch is the Lord of the tenth houfe,whether he be dirett,
and behold them,for then he will proceed according to order of
law in the Caufe, and will endeavour to (horten and determine
it; but if he be Retrograde, it’s an argument the Judge will not
2oe on or proceed according to order of law, nor will he care
to end it; nay it’s rather probable he will prolong it a longer
time-then he ought by law : judge the fame if the Lord oPthe
afeendant be feparated from the Lord of the feventh, or the
Lord of the feventh from the Lord of the afeendant.
See if the Lord of the afeendant be in afpeft with the © or
I j> or either of them joyned to him, fo that no other Planet
hinder their afpeft, beware it be not a corporall e! , for that
fignifks an impediment, unlefle the Planet were in the heart of
the ©, for then the Planet was fortified thereby; fo is he in
like nature, if the Planet be in either of the houfes of the Lumi-
rnries, or if the © and J> be in the afeendant, thefe argue the
potency of the querent: if the Lord of the feventh be dignified or
qualified as before I mentioned of the Lord of the afeendant,
you muft judge in like nature on the behalfe of the quefiled: If
the Lord of the afeendant be joyned to the Lord of the tdnth,
he that is the querent will acquaint the Judge himfelfe, or make
nreanes to acquaint him with his Caule, and it may be he will
endeavour to bribe the Judge, that fo he may judge cn his fide:
if the lord of the tenth receive the lord of the fecond, the Judge
will have Money for his paines; but if the lord of the tenth re¬
ceive the lord of the afeendant,the Judge hears the querent's im¬
portunities, otherwayes not.
If the lord of the tenth be more light then the lord of the
afeendant, and joyned unto him, he will doe the querent'sjbufi-
neffe, though he never fpeak unto him; if the lord of the it-
cond be joyned to the lord of the tenth, then the yddverfary
makes meanes to the Judge; and if the lord of the tenth receive
the lord of the feventh, he will affift him; but if he receive the
lord of the eight, he will take his Money.
If the lord of the tenth receive both fignificaters the Judge
will

Will compote the matter ere it doe come to a full Tryall.
IftheLordof the tenth be in the tenth, in his owne houfe,
the Judge wiil then doe juftice, and judge the caufe for his ho¬
nour, unlefle that Planet be T? : if the Lord of the tenth be on¬
ly in his owne Termes or Triplicity, it’s true the Judge will de¬
termine the Caufe, but makes no matter which way it goes, if
a Planet be in the tenth houfe that hath no dignity,or is not in
Reception with the Lord of the tenth,it argues the parties will
not be content, or ftand to that Sentence, they both feare that
Judge, andhadrather have another Judge his Sentence, with
which they would be content: if h be Judge, he will not judge
as he ought; if at that time V 5 © 2 or J be in any afpe& to -
Tj but <f, the Judge will be ill reported of, but in a little time
will be cleered, and the afperfion taken off; but if any of thofe
be in <P to T;, there will goe a hard report on the Judge for
that his Sentence,and it will continue long; the Judges defama¬
tion will be great if d" be in cP to h , unleffe cf be with h in vp ,
then the fcandall will be the leflfe.
But to be (hort, in thefe like Judgments obferve this me¬
thod ; the Qjierent is fignified by the Lord of the afeendant, the
Adverfnr) by the Lord of the feventh, the Judge by the Lord of
the tenth, the end of the matter from the Lord of the fourth ;
confider well the Lords of the houfes, their Fortitudes, and
whether they be in Angles, Succedants or Cadents, f oitunate
or not Fortunate; for the Planet that is molt ftrong, andbeft
pofited, is the beft man, and moft likely to carry the viftory,
and hath the beft Caufe.
If more Planets be in the afeendant and fecond, the iiuerenl
fhall have moft Friends, & fic e cimtario: if both Significaters
give their vertue to one Planet, there will be one who will in¬
tercede betwixt them : if the Signe amending and feventh be
feed both auerent and auefued are refolutely bent to proceed in
Sit or Controvert; if movable Sign- s be there, it’s like
they have no great ftomack to the bufinefie, but will end it very
fhortly ; if common Signes be there, they will continue the

obferve what Planet is in the feventh, and neer the cufp of the
feventh, and whether the party enquired of be more like to the
description of the Planet poll ted in the feventh, or to the Lord
of the feventh; take that Planet for his Significator who is neer-

fixed Signes, their fociety will continue long 5 but if no Recep¬
tion be, little profit will from thence accrew to either party 5
if they buy any thing, the Commodities will lye long on their
hands ; if the Significators be in common Signes, it promifcs a
gainfull Partnerlhip, and that they will be faithfull to each
other : If one Significator be in a movable Signe, and the other
in a fixed, the diftm bance arifing will be leflfe then at firft may
be feared : If ill Planets afptft both thefignificators, viz. Lord

be ill for both, neither the one party or other will deal fairly ;
fee where, and in what houfe or houfcs theevill Planets are

If the }> feparate from one Fortune and apply to another, ’
they will begin well and end well, though neither of them get
any Wealth ; but if file be feparated from a good Planet, and
apply to an ill, they begin well, but end in ltrife and hatred 5 in

Planet and apply to another, they will begin Partnerlhip with
muttering and repining, continue it with feares and jealoufies,

halfe ; if an Infottune be in the fecond, and be not Lord of the

the tecond with a □ or <p , it’s like there will be no Warre,
but if any be, the querent (hall have the worft; ^ Fortune in that

is like to have good warlike Provisions 5 fay the fame if % be
there : but if be therein unfortunate, his Army is like to be
compofed of Thieves, Highway men, vagrant Fellowes, fedi-
tious, and fuch as will obey no commands.
If an Informe be in the fourth, the place where the Warre is
like to be, or where the Armies may engage, is like to be unfit
r for the querents Army : if it be mountainous, the places are
rough, inacceflibie not habitable, full of Woods, no paffig-e for
Armies; if the place feein to be deferibed moyil, ii’smiery,
dirty, full of (landing waters. Bogs, Rivers or Brooks, not fit
to marfhall an Army in, or wherein an Army can doe any fer-
vice : If <? be in the fift, well dignified, or the good afpe&s of
the Fortunes irradiate that houfe, or a Fortune be therein poJT
ted, then it’s like the Army or Souldiers on the querents part,
will be good Souldiers, apt for fight, and obedient to 1 heir
Officers; the Infortunes policed therein (hew contrary qua*

If either of the Fortunes or Q, be in the fixt,theCarriage* Horte

But if h be in the fixe without dignities, the Horte are old,
rotten jades, unferviceable, tyred, over-{pent, (low, not fit tor
this fervice, difeafed, &c.

are nought, will performe nofervice, the Enemy will rather
fight by policy, craft and trechery, then man* hood.
If a Fortune be in the eight, it’s an argument no mortality or
much deftrudion of men will follower wil there be many men
wounded, or their wounds difficult to cure 5 no great flaugh^
ters,fights,flights,or any let Battles will be betwixt the Armies
on either part: but if h be therein Retrograde, many prifon-

an argument, the Commander in chiefe is a difereet man, un¬

Army are expert men, every one in his place being capable of

4% ad y, if marry the Gen tlxman deflred?

Judgment upon the Figure above-fairi,

T H E true ftate of this Ladies caufe flood thus: A Gentleman

hfy been a long time an earnefl Suitor unto her for Marriage, but
{be could never matter bet affetfion jo much as to incline to Marriage-
thoughts with him, but flighted him continually; and at laft, to the great
dij content of the Gentleman^ fbe gave him an abfolute deniall; After
which denial! jo given9flse became fajjionately affeftionate of him, and did
Ccc firefy
forely repent of her folly, and fo cburlifi a carriage, wiping fie might
againe have former opportunities. This was her condition at what
time flie propounded the Queftion unto me.

The afcendant and 0 are for the querent; T* Lord of the fe-~
venth, is for the man quefited after. The querent was moderately
tall, of round vifage, fanguine complexion, of a cheerfull,mo-
deft countenance, gray eyed, her haire a light browne,occalio-
ned, as I conceive, by 0 Lord of the afcendant, in the Termes
of d , fhe was well fpoken, and fufficiently comely.
Finding F in the angle of the South, and in d with <? ,.
and both in <5 , a fixed,earthly Signe, 1 judged the corporature
of the quefited party to be but meane, and not tall, or very
handfome, his vifage long and incompofed, a wan, pale or
meagre complexion, dark haire, or of a fad, chefnut colour,
curling and crifp, his eyes fixt, ever downward, mufing, ftoop-
ing forward with his head, fome impediment in his going, as
treading awry, &c. [this was confejfed.'] Finding F fo, as above-
faid, elevated, and in d with d , I judged the Gentleman to be-
fid5angry,much difcontented, and fcorning his former flights,,
(as ever all Saturnine people doe;) I judged him much incenf*
ed by a Kinfman or Gentleman of quality,fignifiedby d, Lord
of die third, in part, from the feventh, and of the fourth, being
the tenth from the feventh ; and that this Gentleman and he
lived either in one houfe, or neer one another, becaufe both
ftgnificators are angular and fixed, [andfo it was.’] I faid,the Gen¬
tleman had no inclination or difpofition unto her, fending the
>fiparated from voyd of courie, and applying to -<$ of © ,.
Lord of the afcendant, it did argue there was final! hopes of
effecting her defire, becaufe fhe her felfe, by her owne perverf-
nefie, had done her felfe fo grand a mifchiefe. Whereupon fhe
told me the truth of all, and not before, and implored my di-
regions, which way, without fcandall to her honour, it might
be brought on againe, if poffible : and indeed fhe was lamenta¬
bly perplexed, and full of heavinefle. Hereupon, with much
companion, I began to confider what hopes we had in the Fi¬
gure : I found 0 applying to a of F$ this argued the wo¬
mans defire, and the ftrength of her affe&ions towards the qve*
’ , filed*
 all manner efQgeftienj1, g§7
ftUit becanfe ftie is fignified by the lighter Planet; but there *7
was no Reception betwixt the fignificatorSytherefore that appli¬
cation gave little hopes : but finding Reception betwixt V and
the 7) , and betwixt ® and 7> 5 fhe in his Triplicity, ® in her
Houfe$ obferving alfo, that the did difpofe of T? in her Ex¬
altation and of V inherHoufe, and that V wasveryneera
^ dexter of T?, ftill applying, and not feparated ; as alio, that
^ was in his Exaltation, and a fortunate Planet ever afiifting
nature and the affli&ed, and that he was able by his ftrength to
qualifie and take off he malice of f?: befides, the neerneffe of
% to the of T?, made me confident that the qnefited was in- i
timately acquainted with a perfon of quality and worth, fueh
as % reprefented, whom I exa&ly defcribed, and the Lady very
well knew: Unto him 1 dire&ed toaddrefle her Complaints,
and acquaint him fully with her unhappy folly : I pofitively
affirmed, in the Gentleman defcribed (he fhould find all honour
and fecrecv, and I doubted not but,by God’s bltfling, he would
againe revive the bufinefle (now defpaired of) and bring her
to her hearts content: But finding that T? and ® came to ^
afpeft the 27th of the fame moneth, I advifed to haften all
things before the afpeft was over 5 and alfo gave direction,that
the nineteenth of June neer upon noon, the Gentleman fhould
fir ft move the quefitea in the bufinefle: and my reafon was, be-
cauft that day h and ¥ were in a perfeft afpeft.
My counfell was followed, and the iffue was thus: By the
Gentlemans meanes and procurement the matter was brought
on againe, the Match effected, and all within twenty dayes fol¬
lowing, to the content of the forrowfull (but as to me un-
thankfull) Lady, &c. In J^rohgie^ the true reafon of this per¬
formance is no more then, firft, an application of the two Sig«
nificator* to a ^, viz. the Lord of the leventh and firft: Next3
the application of the 2> to the Lord of the afcendant, though
by & 5 yet with Reception, was another fmall argument; but
tS maine occafion, without which in this Figure it could not
have been, the application of V to of h Lord of the feventh,
receiving his vertoe which h did render unto him,and he again
transferred to the ® Lord of the afcendant, he, viz. % , meet¬

this Lady, that very lately before the ereftion of this Figure,
her Sweet-heart had been offered a Match, and that the Gentle¬
woman propounded, was fuch a one as is fignified by $ , one
not onely of a good fortune, but excellently well descended: I
bad her follow my direftions, with hope and expe&ation of a
good end, and told her (he fnould not fear his marrying of $ :

and fo interpofed his influence, or kept off h . I judged d* to
be feme Souldier, or Gentleman that had been in Armes: this
I did the more to enlighten her fancy,which I found apprehen*
five enough. She well knew both the Gentlewoman and nun*
and confefled fuch matters were then in a&ion.
Had the Quere been* Who Should have Hied longefi ? certainly I
ftiould have judged the woman,beeaule 0 is going to d of % ,

have confidered ^ Lord of his ffcond houfe, whom I find in <
his Exaltation, Dire&, Swift, &c. only under the Sun-beames ?.
I fhould have adjudged his Eftate good.

6 The Simificator of the Servant was c? peculiarly m rhis Fi¬
gure although many times 2 (hall fignifie a fugitive Servant s:
The Servant was a young Fellow of about nineteen, a well fee
Fellow, (hort, big joynted, broad and full faced, dark browne
haire, his teeth growing ilfavouredly, a Sun-burnt, obfeure
complexion, yet the skin of his body cleer.

The querent was fignified by the Signe amending and the

vitiated according to Cauda in the afcendant,in his ftature,mind
or underftanding ; that is, was a little deformed in body, and
extream covetous in difpoiition,&c.
The Signe of the fixt and his Lord fignifies the Dogge; lb
muft they have done if it had been a Sheep or Sheep, Hogs,Co-
nies,&c. or any fmall Cattle*
The Signe of H is Weft and by South, the quarter of heaven
is Weft ; 5 the fegnificator of the Vog, is in a Wefterne Signe
but Southerne quarter of heaven, tending to the Weft j the

rality to fignifk the Weft, and therefore l judged, that the Dag
ought to be Weft ward from the place where the Owner lived,
which was at T'emple-barre,wherefore I judged that the Vog was
about Long-acre, or upper part of Drury- lane: In regard that 5
Significaior of the Beaft, was in a Signe of the fame Triplicity
that H his attendant is, which fignifies London, and did apply
to a A of the Cufp of the fixt houfe, I judged the Dog was not
out of the lines of Communication, but in the fame quarter;
of which I was more confirmed by © and h their A. The
Signe wherein 5 is in, is a, an ayery Signe, I judged the Vog
was in fome chamber or upper room,kept privately,or in great

neer that time 5 which was true; for a Gentleman of the que-
rem’acquaintance, fent home the Dog the very fame day about

to my very great credit. Yet not wit hftan ding this, I cannot
endure Queftions of Fugitives or Thefts, nor ever would have
done any thing, but with intention to benefit Pofterity.
Ufually I find, that all Fugitives goe by the , and as
flie varies her Signe, fb the Fugitive wavers an<J fhifts in his

but when the Qiieftion is demanded, then without doubt you

and judge by the ftronger$ if both be equivalent in Fortitudes,
judge either by the Significator, if he beft perfbnate the Fugitive,
or by the 2), if (he moft refemble him j with relation to either

Of Theft 9

I T was the received opinion of Mafter Allen of Oxford, a man’

excellently verfed in Aftrologie, that the true Signif <tor of a
Tbicfe is that Planet who is in an angle or fecond hot* e, and
beholds the feventh he ufe: if no peregrine Planet be in an an¬
gle or the fecond houfe, then the Lord of the feventh fhall be
Significator of the Tbiefe, if he behold the feventh houfe : other-
wayes that Planet to whom the ]> applyes, if he behold the fe-
venth houfe; the rather, if the 3) leparate from the Lord of
the afeendant. And he faith further, that a peregrine Planet in
wfiat angle foever, (hall not be Significator of the Thiefe, unleffe
lie behold the feventh houfe, or have any dignity in the degree
of the feventh : yet if one and the fame Planet be Lord of the
hour and of the afeendant, he fhall fignifie the Thiefe, though
he behold not the afeendant: The truth is, I have ever found
that if a peregrine Planet were in the afeendant, he was Signi¬
ficator of thcTbiefe: next to the afeendant, I preferred the an¬

was in K 3 a moyft Signe,and that® was in s,a moyft Signe.

vering them, becaufe 5 Lord of my fecond,was in his fall and
detriment,but as he was in his own Termes,and had a A afpcdl:
to ®, there was hopes of fome of my Goods.
There being never a Waterman in that Town of Walton neer
unto the defeription of V in Tip, I examined what Fifherman
ther-e was of that complexion 5 and becaufe d Lord of the 7*
was departing the Sign fll, viz- his owne, and entring another
Signe, I examined if never a Fifherman of d and V his nature
had lately fold any Land, or was leaving his proper houfe,and
going to another habitation 5 fuch a one I difeovered, and that
he was much fufpe&ed of theevery, who was a good fellow,
lived neer the 'Ibawizs fide, and was a meer Fifherman, or man
convcrfant in water ; for all Significators in watry Signes, argu¬
ed, hemuft needs live neer the water, or a watry place, that
hole the Goods, or be much converfant in waters.
The man that was the Thiefe was a Fiftierman, of good fta-
ture, thick and full bodied, faire of complexion, a red or yel-
lowifh haire.
I procured a Warrant from a Juftice of peace, and referved
it privately un till Sunday the eighteenth of February following,
and then with a Conftable and the Barge-man, I fearched only
that one houfe of this Fifherman fufpc&ed } I found part of my
Fifh in water, part eaten, part not confumed, all confefled.
This jeft happened in the fearch ; part of my Fifh being in a
bag, it happened the Thiefe fiolethe bag as well as the Fifh 5
the Barge man, whole lack it was, being in the fame room
where the bag was, and oft looking upon it (being clean walk¬
ed) faid to the woman of the houfe. Woman, fo I may have my
fack which I loft that night, I care not: the woman anfwered 3
fhe had never a lack but that which her husband brought home
the fame night with the Fifh. I am perfwaded the Barge-man
looked upon the fack twenty times before,and knew it not, for
the woman had wafhed it cleane: I as heavily complained to
the woman for feven Toriugall Onyons which I loft 5 fhe not

So that you fee the peregrine Planet in an angle deferibes
theThiefe, and that either the ® or ]> in-the afeendant, and
in effentiall Dignities, gives allured hopes of dilcovering who
it was; the application of D to the Lord of the fecond, argues
recovery; a full recovery, if both the }) and the Lord of the

If the ahfcnl party be alive or dead?

jo true resolution of this Queftion depends much

upon a right undemanding, what relation the duaent
hath to the party enquiredof, for you have oft read7n
. l“e P^ceding judgments, that in every Queftion great
care is to be taken, that the intentions of the Demandant and
quefned party may be carefully apprehended, that thereby one
grape at or be not miftaken for another; wherefore for better
^acisfaciion of this part of judgment we now are handling, you
muit enquire whether he, viz* the querent, enquire of the death
ot a T riend, or of his Wife, or a Father, or a Child, or of a
bervant, &c. Give the firft houie and his Lord for the ftgnifica-
tor of the querent> but for the party quefited, give the Signe of
that houfe he is fignified by, the Lord thereof and the }) for
his Signifrators: if you find the Lord of his afeendant in the
iourth or eighth, either from his owne afeendant, or of the
r igure,that configuration is one argument the man or wbman
enquired after,is deceafed j (this muft be judged where the par-
* '

telligence concurring therewith.)
Together with this, confider if the Lord of his afeendant or

Planet* or if he be in the twelft, in afpeft of any unfortunate
Planet* either by O or cP * or if the ® be unfortunate or affli-
fted* or the 2) in like manner* for then the abfent is dead : If
the Significant of the abfent man or woman be in the fixe from
his owne houfe* or fixt of the Queftion* or in any □ or cP or
affli&ion of the Lord of the fixt* without Reception,or the be¬
nevolent afpeft of a Fortuney the abfent is then fick : but if he be
but going unto, and is not feparated from the afpeft* he hath
not been* but he will be fuddenly ill* or very fhortly : but if he
be going from the of evill Planets* either by body or afpeft*
fo that he be furely feparated from them* or is departing from
Combuftion*it argues the party enquired of hath lately efcaped
a danger or ficknefife*or perill equivalent ; the greatnefie of the
difafter or infirmity you fhall judge to be according to the qua¬
lity of the Signes the Significants are in* and manner of afpeft
affli&ing* having relation to the houfe from whence the afe

It’s confiderable* that you poyfe in your judgment* whether
the Significant of the abfent party be in the fixt* and not joyn-

being in any of thofe places, it fignifieth that he fhall returne, u teT
and is thinking of it; but if the Lord of the firft be in the fie- Si«niLLr

he went unto, nor hath he yet any defire thereunto.
If the Almuten of the firfl be in the ninth or third from the af*
Cendant, applying to a Planet in the afeendant, it fignifieth he
is in his journy homewards:the fame alio doth the Lord of the
afeendant fignifie if he be in the 8 th or fecond, applying to any
Planet in the tenth; yet notwithftanding, if the Lord of the
afeendant be cadent,and doe not apply to any Planet in an an¬
gle, or behold the afeendant, it is a token of tarrying.
But if at any time the Lord of the afeendant or the 2> doe
apply unto a Planet Retrograde, or the Lord of the afeendant
himfelfe be Retrograde,(z;/£. the Significator of the abfent) and
doe behold the afeendant, it is a token he is comming : but if
the Lord of the afeendant be infortunatt, it doth fignifie fome
let or hinderance which makes him to tarry,or that he cannot

thofe things which I have faid, behold the }), and if fhedoe

mfies that he commeth : If the 2 be feparate from a Planet
which is in the left fide of the afeendant (that is, under the
earth)and applyeth to another Planet on the right hand of the
afeendant, ( that is, above the earth ) it doth fignifie that he
commeth.
If the ]) be on the right hand of the afeendant, and apply

70 what part of Heaven the Traveller had kft direct his Journey*

Although we have in fome meafure handled this judgement

in the Chapter of the firft hou(e, yet I (hall againe briefly men¬
tion fome further judgements herein, pertinently belonging
to this Houle. If therefore the querent who is drftrous to Tra-
veil or take a Journey, (ball make this demand. To what part of
the World is it beft for me to Travell ? Doe you herein confi Jer in
what quarter of the Figure the fortunate Planets are policed,
and where moft fortUied, you imy fafely direft the querent to
travell, fojourn or direft his voyage to thofe parts, as if the
fortunate Planet promiling happineffe unto him be in the Eaft
Quadrant, then direft him Ealtward, if in the South Quarter
Southward, in the Weft Weftward, in the North Northward,
and obferve where the moft or greateft number of fortunate
Planets are placed, to thofe parts its beft to Travell; and as
you will ele& that part of Heaven for beft where the Fortunes
are, fo diflwade from travelling or journying to thofe parts
■where the Infortunes are. In the number of Infortunes, put
the in all Journeys have a (peciall care of the fecond and
eighth Houfes; for an Infortunate Planet in the eighth por¬
tends or fignifies little gaine, or imall fuccefle In the Ccmtrey
the Traveller is going unto} but a malevolent Planet in the
fecond, intends no great fucceffe in the Countrey, wherein af¬
ter the voyage is performed theTraveller intends to fettle him-
felfe* Hence it is, that when ele&ions of times are made for
the happineffe of a party in the Countrey he is going unto,
that we alwayes put a good Planet in the eighth houfe. But if
&
we expe& to live happily after our returne, then we ever (it

Jf an idle covetous Priefl upon bis QueSiion propounded pal/
\
Obtaine a go.d Par[onagc0yea or no ?

S Tth the Clergy are as Covetous and vicious as other men., I

give them leave to make their demand as well as others,
provided alwayes, it be not to hinder themfelves from enjoy¬
ing a lufty Benefice, or impeach them in preferment $ if there¬
fore the Lord of the afcendant who is fignificacor of the Mini-
fter (it matters not whether he be Proteftant, Presbyter or
Papift) that would haye a Church-livings or other Ec:Iefiafti-
call preferment) or or both be joyned to the Lord of the
ninth, who fignifies the thing fought after, viz. a Benefice : for
if the Lord of the 9th be in the 9^, or behold the houfcr, it ar¬
gues the Gierke or Prieft fhall obtaine the Benefice defired, but
with labour and induftry, and his owne very much paines ta¬
king, which I confeffe they doe willingly ; but if neither the
3) or Lord of the afcendant be joyned to the Lord of the ninth,
or he with them 5 fee if either the 3) or Lord of the afcendant
be in the ninth, for that argues the attaining of the thing
fought after: if he be not Retrograde, or otherwife unfortu¬
nate or Combuft, or in □ afpeft of an infortune without re¬
ception, for then it argues a deftru&ion of the matter after
it feemcs to be in a good forwardneffe, or neer accomplifh-
ing; but if the Lord of the ninth be in the firft, whether the
Lord of the firft behold him or the 3) or not, in what condi¬
tion foever the difpofition of the Lord of the afcendant or the
3) are in, or if the Lord of the ninth be the lighter Planet, and
apply to the Lord of the firft, it’s a pregnant teftimony ofpro-
curing the thing fought after without much Peeking on the
querenfs behalf.
The Lord of the afcendant in A or ^ to © or % , and ei¬
ther of them in the afcendent, argues the acqhiiition o* the Be-
nefice or Preferment. The
 m 1
The cf of the Lord of the firft and ninths or their afpe&s, 9
frith Reception, gives the preferment without bribing, freely,
perhaps upon a detert or merit; for fome of that Tribe are
black Swans: IF theafpeft be by □,* it comes not fb lightly j
yet if Reception be, it comes at length, perhaps a fifh with
Isprcfented to the Patron*
After this, fee if any Planet transferre the light of the Lord
of the ninth to the Lord of the afcendant, the Benefice is ob¬
tained by fome interloping perfon,unleffe the more ponderous
Planet to whom the Trariflator doth afford vertue, commit
that influence to fome other Planet, and that Planet have no
fignification in the Qjieftion, for fuch an aftion intimates de-
ftruftVon of the matter, after it is hoped to be neer pcrfe&ing ;
If the Lord of the afcendant haften to the cf of the Lord of the
ninth, and meet with no obftru&ive afpeft before, it*s not then
to be doubted but the Furfon obtaines his preferment, but not
without much folicitation: many Planets Significators in this
or the like Queftion, either many Competitors in the thing, or
many contentions and much labour to obtain it.
Lord of the afcendant in cf with an Infortune, and he not
Lord of the ninth, or in Reception with him, or not commit¬
ting his difpofition to any Planet who receives the Lord of the
firft or the £ , the matter will not be performed : If that Infor-
tune commit his vertue to any Fortune, who is ftrong in the FL*
gure, the thing will be perfefted; for the cf of the Infortunet
without Reception, performes nothing; with Reception, they
performe with difficulty: a Planet fignifyihg the effe&ing of
any thing, being pofited in an angle; haftens the matter, in a
fuccedant, it retards the thing; in a cadent, quite deftroyes the
matter? or fuddenIy,beyond expe&ation,when all men defpair,
by fome fecret trick, perfe&s it; but this is very rare.
If any malevolent Planet afpeft the Lord of the afcendant or
the 2> with □ or cp, without Reception, the querent feems
much troubled, is difpleafed with the manner of profecuting
the matter, and beleeves he is either negligently or knaviffily
dealt withall, by fuch as endeavour to negotiate in the matter z
If the Lord of the firft and ninth both of them commit their dif*
pofition to any Planet, by whatfocver afpcft,who is not impe-
lil ' pedited9
dited3 or becomes Retrograde before he goe out oftheSignehe
is in, it argues performance of the bufinefle : The > well dig¬
nified, fhewes many Friends if the Lord of the ninth be joyn-
ed to the Lbld of the fourth* or the Lord of the fourth apply
to the Lord of the ninth* withobcmuch labour the matter will
be effected: But to know whether the Benefice be a lufty one
or not3 or worth acceptance^ ( a thing confiderable $) confider
the tenth houfe3 the Lord thereof and Planet or Planets there¬
in placed vPlanets well dignified and angular, (hew hopes* and
are fure tefiimonies of a g6'tfd thumping Benefice.

whether Dreames, how tejxibk. foevk*Jiay5 or fhall haye
any influence upon the querent, is by obferving whether the
Lor d of the ninth, or any Planet pofited in the ninth, doth
behold the Lord of the afeendarit with □ br <p, for then aflii-
redly the querent fhall receive prejudice thereby in one kind or
other 5 ufually crofles or affli&ions to his perfon : But if the

prejudice by one or other in poifit of Eftate, and fo doe in

A good Planet in the ninth, no ill fhall happen by the
Dreame; a good Planet in the afeendant fignifies the fame; or
the Lord of the afeendant in A of 0 ^ or $ argues the fame,

rnuft beftir himfelfe, and ufe all the friends he can about it: if
none of the Significators be joyned to the Lord of the tenth, fee
if the Lord of the firfl or 3) be in the tenth, he fhall then attain
what he defires, if that Planet be not impedited: The Lord of
the tenth in the firft, fo he be a lighter Planet then the Lord of
the firft, though no afpeft be betwixt them, yet fhall he attain
the Place or Office defired •-> but with more eafe and lefle labour
when the Lord of the tenth is in the afcendant,and is either go¬

If the Lord of the tenth be j oy ned to % or 9 by any afpeft,

afcendant, in their owne houfe or exaltation* and themfelves
Orientall and Direfr* and not one oppolite to another* this
doth argue obtaining the Preferment* though with much
importunity.
If the Lord of the tenth receive the Lord of the firft or the }>
by any reception* or in any houfe* the matter will be effected
with much content and profit.
If any Planet transferre the vertue of the Lord of the firft to
the Lord of the tenth* then the thing will be perfected* or Of¬
fice obtained by meanes of another that labours in the matter*
and not by himfelfe : In this cafe* it’s beft that he who would
acquire the Dignity* obferve if he know fuch a man as the Pla¬
net defcribes* that in probability is a&ive* or of neer acquain¬

No d being betwixt the Lord of the firft and tenth3or either
of them joyned to a Fortune, but to a malevolent Planet* and
that malignant joyned to another malevolent* and this male¬
volent joyned to a Fortune, and this Fortune joyned to the Lord
of the tenth ; if the d of the firft Infortnne be with the Lord of
the firft* or the laft Planet is joyned to the Lord of the firft* or
if their firft d be with the Lord of the tenth* yet it imports ac-
quifition of the Dignity* but with infinite perplexities* and fe¬

diftinguifh the perfons of thofe to be imployed* by the
Planets before mentioned* and the houfes they are Lords of;

Behold if any of the preceding Planets be in the firft, or in
the tenth ; if he be a Fortune, it notes obtaining the Dignity,
whether he be in Reception or not: if the Plane t fo pofited do

blit without Reception, not.
If the tenth hotife be the houfe or exaltation of that evill
Planet, and he placed in that houfe, he performes the bufineffe,
whether he receive the Lord of the afcendant or the 3): In eve¬
ry Queftion you muft obferve, that what Planet foever Is Sifc-
nipcator of any thing, if he be in an angle, he haftens toelfeft
the matter yin a Uiecedant, the matter goes on (lowly ; in 3 ca¬
dent houfe, the matter goes backward and backward, yet at
laft is performed.
See if an ill Planet behold the Lord of the afcendant or the

commit his difpofition to another, he hinders and diffurbs. the
querent by meanes of that perfon who is to folicite the cauie or
bufineffe, and it’s probable they will fall out about it: if a A
or ^ be betwixt them, he will not be angry with him,although
he performe not wHat he expefts.
If the Lotd of the afcendant and tenth commit their difpbfi-
tion to any Planet by any afp-ft, with, or with no Reception,

It's generally concluded by all Astrologers, that if the Lord of
the afcendant and Lord of the tenth be joyned together, and
the 3) apply to either of them, the matter will be effefted, but
beft of all when P feparates from the Lord of the tenth, and
applyerto the Lord of the afcendant.
Behold if the Lord of the firft be joyned to the Lord of the
fourth, or the Lord of the fourth to the Lord of the afcendant,
it argues the perfefting of the thing : but if the Lord of the af¬

If the Lord of the firft be j oy nedto any Planet who is in a Sign

for much may be fa id in behalf? of the Prince, and the hopes
might be expe&ed from him 5 at laft I came to this refolution,
that he fhould gain no honour by this War, becaufe neither of
the Luminaries were in the tenth houfe, or in perfectafpe&witft
his Significator, but at laft fall into the hatred and malice of all
or many, by his owne perverfnefTe and folly, and in the end
fhould depart without either honour, love or friendftiip, but
fhould not be killed: The Lord of the tenth in his Detriment^
argue his depraved Fancy; and being in a fixed Signe, fhewes
his obflinatensffe, felf-oppofition, conceitedneffe and continu¬
ance in his erronious judgment, for let all the Planets affift in a
Queftion concerning Warre or Souldiery, if himfelfe, who

laid, it ffiould come to pafle, he ffiould be at our difpoling, and
that we ffiould at laft have him in our owne cuftody, and doe
ivhat we lift with him : this I judged, because the gentle, Planet
! 9 , Fjfex Significator, diddifpole of Rupert: an errour in part
I confefle it was, yet not much to be blamed,for (in totidem ver¬
bis ) it was very neer truth, for in 1646. he was befieged in Ox.-
fords and after furrender thereof, having unadviledly repaired
to Oatlmdss contrary to Agreement and Covenant, he was then
at the mercy of the Parliament, and in their mercy : but they
of that houfe looking on him rather as an improvident young
man, then any way worthy of their difplealure or taking notice
let him,depart with his owne proper fate, heavy, enough
for him to beare; and foheefcaped. So that the generall fate
of this Ki’ngdome, overcame my private opinion upon Prince
Rupert. However, I am glad he efcaped fo, beipg queftionlefle

of this Figure, his

indeed he was.
In this Judgment we find © Lord of the eleventh (which
houfe fignifies afliftance or aide in this manner of Judgment)
pofited in the feventh, in his Exaltation, and applying to the
cufp of the eleventh with a A afpe&, but wants fix degrees of
being partill; forafmuch as the 2> being in her owne houfe, and
® fo well fortified, I did judge his Majefty fhould have a
Commanders out of Ireland (for © reprefents Commanders)
and men, or common men, befides 5 becaufe both © and 3)
are friendly unto him : that they fhould harme us, I judged be¬
caufe © Lord of that affiftanee, was in the feventh, in dire&cP
to the afcendant, which represented the Parliament and their
party : but becaufe the © is fo neer 93, and beholds the cufp of
the tenth with a 0 finifter, I did in the end leftfc fear them, and
judged they fhould produce much fcandall, to his Majefty and
his Party, and that they jvoutd caufe many ill and heavy re¬
ports
ports to fall upon his Majefty by their means : I alfo then judg¬
ed, that his Majefty was likely tv Improve his Forces, and aug¬
ment them for fome certaine time, but that it fliould not con¬
tinue very long, for that neither the ® or 2> were fixed. The
truth is, he had Irifh Forces came over, which much hardned
the hearts of the Englijb againft him, but time cut them off
as we doe all well know, at the Siege of Namptwicb, by valiant
Fairfax.

Her Majefties Significatrix is T? Lord of the fourth, for that

is the feventh from the tenth, removing out of one Signe into
another: T? being a ponderous Planet, made me more confi¬
dent her Majefty would move forwards with her Army, with
intention to meet his Majefty, which I faid (he ftiould do about
three or four moncths from the time of the Figure, becaufe
the wanted three or four degrees of the A of T? .1 intimated
a great defire in his Majefty to fee her, becaufe his Significant j
applyed. The truth is, (he met him about the 14. of July 164-.
in Warwick-fbire. I judged that (he would not profpwr but de¬
cline, becaufe h her Significatrix was going into T his Fall
and that V viz. good Fortune, was feparated, and did feparate
from h . Bcfides, I obferved that d" made hafte to a Q ,of h
in S, as if our Souldiery would quite deftroy and bring to no¬
thing her Army ; and that (he would be crofted at or neer the
time of that afpeft, which was the 11. of^jpr/7, when about
Nottingham (he loft fome Forces, and more had, but that we had J
ever either lome knaves or fools in our Armies.

afcendant, fhewed he was not yet out of Towne, but Eaft ward
from the Prifon he brake out of$ at lead, that he could not be
farre from Towne : and as V is in the eighth houfe, fo I judg-
en he lay obfeurely for a while, viz* a night, but then would go
away ; [ fo be did

to that Planet affigned for the day, beginning at Sun-rife ever,
the fecond houre we give to the next Planet, the third hour to
the third Planet from him y as if upon any Sunday I would
know what Planet governeth the firft, fecond, third, fourth,

It is very true, fome of the Ancients have Winter and Sum¬
mer, made the day and night to confift of equall hours, I mean
every hour to confift of fixty minutes equally 5 but Attrologians
doe not fo, but follow this method, viz* according to the mo¬
tion of the ® both Summer and Winter, lo doe they vary
their hours in length or fhortnefie 5 fox all that fpace of time
which is contained from Sun rife to Sun*fet, they divide into
twelve equall pars, whereof the one halfe containcs the hours
before Noon,the reft the hours after Noon 5 fo alfo,what Ipace
of time is from Sun-fet untill Sim-rife againe the-mxtday af-
ier, is equally divided into twelve parts 5 whereof every twelft
oart.containes the fpace or time of one hour Aftrologicall;
md we doe ever begin to number from Sun rife, and continue
until! the next Sun-rife,accounting 24. hours, beginning ever-
jnore at Sun-rife, with that Planet who b affigned to theday.

and fo numbring fucceffively in order untill the next day; fo
that your Aftrologicall hours are called uriequall hours, as all
the yeer long confiding of more or leflc then fixty minutes for
the fpace of one hour.unlefie it be the day of the © his entrance

he be deceived either wholly in the Signe afcending, or by a
fallacious and uncertaine houre miftake many degrees thereof,
1 viz* either in having few or no degree?, or the latter part of
arty Signs afcending •, by which errour no cert tine or rational!
Judgement can be given, either of theComplexion,forme,con-
ititution or fortune of the Native. The Ancients for folving
this error and amending the time, have delivered fome wayes
and meanes unto pofterity, whereby the iuppofcd time of ones
Nativity might be rectified and brought to its true and perfect
• time v whole Methods I will now deliver in the firft place,and
then declare what or which of them, I hold mod lit for the
Student, and ought to be followed. The firft way then of re¬
ctifying aNativity, and reducing it to that moment of time
when firft the Infant was feperatcd from his Mother, and re¬
ceived the breath or ayre of this world, was by the Trutine or
Scrutiny of Hermes (one of the wifeft of all mortall men, and
as ancient as Meyfes') and this way is farre more ancient then
| the Animodar of Ptofomey, allowed by Ptolomey himfelfe in his
51. Centiloqttium (if that be his) as I undoubtedly conceive it is;
his words arSigne the Muon is in at time of the birth, m^kj
that very Signe the afcendant at Conception ; and what Signe the Moon?
is in when the Child? is conceived, make that Signe> or the oppofite wi
to it the Signe amending at the Birtby&c. For Hermes was of this

opinion, that the very degree of the fame Signe wherein the-
D was at the conception of the Ghifde, ftiould be the true de¬
gree ofthe afcendant at the Birth. This manner of verificati¬
on, though it is of great ufe and much experience, wiil not in
many examples hold firme not to a degree two or three,all the
ufe I ever have or could make of it, was, that when an uncer-
taine time was given me, or the time miftaken by an houre or
• two, it would helpe me to the Signe afcending, but rarely to
: the degree afcending or ireer unto it 5; yet doe l know Junfiin?'
e ! doth infift much upon it, and produces many examples verifi-
!, r cd by it, which did concur re with the Scheames of heaven cor-

Children, I leave to the judgment of, See. This Nativity is
precifely rectified by Accidents, both, by thofe depending upon
the Directions of Medium Cedi, and of the afeendant to their
refpe&ive Promittors.
Some have delivered a way to find out the hour of Conccp-
tion, but I hold it a matter too nice fully at this time to be
handled, nor give I any credit unto it: yet it’s thus.
You muft take the l ight afeention of the 0 for the Noon
of the day of Conception, deduced from v?, in what Signe fo-
ever 0 is: you mull take the oblique afeention at the day of
birth, of the l under the elevation of the Pole whure the Birth
Is *, fubflraft the 0 his right afeention from the oblique of the
2), what remains convert into tim^and thofe houres fhew the
time of conception.
Or thus : Take the time from Noon in theTable of houfes,
adhering to the io. houfe, overagainfl the degrees of the 0
in the Signe he is in at the conception. Take the time from
Noon over againft the place of the D in the birth under the
Ascendant. Subftraft the houres correfponding to the place of
the 0 in the io. houfe,from thofe an(Wering the place ofthc
' }) in the afeendant, by adding 24* houres, if need be 5 what
remaines, is fuppofed to be the time of the houre of Con¬
ception.

Of the ReFtifieation efa Nativity by Animodar . 7

M Any and thofe very learned, doe at this day ufe the cor-
re&ion of the eftimative time of birth by this way of
Animodau
When you have ere&ed your Scheame of heavep as neer as
you can to the true efdmative time, Ptolomey direfts you to
confider diligently the degree of the Signe wherein ^thelaft
new Moone was before the Birth, or if it was a full Moon,the
degree of that Signe wherein either of the lights that was a-
boYe the earth was in. See what Planet in your Scheame hath

nioft dignities., viz. effentiall in that degree ; and if the de¬
crees he is in be neerer to the degrees of the cufpe of the afcen-
daRt then to thecufpeof the Mid-heaven, place fomanyde-'
grees afcending as the Planet is in the Signe who rules the de¬
gree wherein cither the new I) or fiili was , but if his de¬
grees be neerer the Mid-heaven then the afeendant, make the
degrees of the Mid heaven the fame his are, and fo vary your
former figure according to cither of thofe Angles; but if it
happen fometimes two Planets have equall dignities in the
degree aforefaid,accept of him who is neerePt i t degrees to the
Afcendant, &c. Though our Nativity was re&ified by acci¬
dents, and fo needs not this way of re&ification, yet for illu-
ftration thereof we will examine whether the verification
hereof by An hinder will concurre with what is verified by ac¬
cidents ; for the eftimadve time given me at firft did not differ
from the true and cor reeled above one degree in the afcendant.
See. Vpon the 15. of SeptemU 1616. being Sunday there was
an cP of the D, or a full D foure dayes before the birth, and
it was about eleven of clock in the day time, the 0 being in
2. dcm\ 32. min. of A, and then above the earth, therefore -
examine what Planet hath mod dignities in that degree : if
you looke into the Table of Effentiall dignities page 104.7011
fhall finde h by reafon of his exaltation and triplicity in the
Signe and terme in that degree wherein the 0 is, that he is
principal 1 ruler of that full 3): if we examine the degree
wherein he is in our Figure, we fhall find himin 9 , which
being neerer to the degree Afcending then of Mid-heaven, the
Afeendant by this corre&io 11 ought to have been the ninth of
v? and 2. min. but had we accepted of 9 to have mod digni¬
ties, as fome would have done, you may then fee a ftrange
concurrence. I have onely delivered the way of this manner
of emendation of the Horofcope by that Method which is cal¬
led AAmodar, but neither the Twine of Hermes^ or this, are
of fo fare foundation, as that Corrc&ion which is performed
by Accidents. But when we fet Childrens Nativities before
. any accidents happen, we ufc this way and the other.

who magnifies the latter of thefe wayes by the rectification

He that would re&ifie a Nativity exa&ly, mu ft performs it

but the moneth and yeer will well ferve, if no neerer time

ought to be either fuch misfortunes, fickneffes, or cafiiakies as
have happened to the body 5 and thefe are to be expe&ed from

or upper line of your work : the firft column on the left hand
where you find Deg. and Min. are the (everall degrees belong¬
ing to the Signes and houles, where you find a fecond number,
it notes minutes adhering to the degrees.
Pirfi, you muft in every Signe, place the Tcrmes of every
Planet in their proper degrees, as you find them in Tag. 104. as
under T over againft o. 54. you find t ¥ , it tels you the
1 ernis of V begin with no minutes of T, the 54. minuets do
adhere to c?, as by and by (hall be declared : then under Y'
over againft the feventh degree of T 5 you find t $ , which tels
you, that the Termes of 9 begin in the ftventh degree of T :
over againft the fifteenth of V you find t 5, which fignifies
the Termes of $ begin there: over againft the 22. of T, you

You niuft underftand,that in what degree onePlanet beginshis

nues his venue untill the next fucceeds. And here I muft ob-
ftrve and give you notice of a vulgar Errour committed by all
or moft oi the Aflralogians, either late living, or at prcftnt now
alive ; that is, in directing a Significater to the Terme* of any
Planet, they mihook commonly one degree, as for example,
had they been to have direded the 0, who in our Nativity is
in 6, 37. , to the Termes of y 3 they did ufually in A place
y in the eleventh degree thereof, whereas he hath no Terme
in £5 until 1 he come to the twelft degree thereof 5 for the firft
fix degrees of &, are fully belonging to 7?, from the end of

degree.
Having placed the Planets in Signe and degree in your Spe¬
culum, you muft know how, and to what parts and degrees of
every Signe they call any afpeft, both forward and backward,
or direct and converfe, or according to the fiucceflion of Signs,

Of the jfracc of Life3 or whether the Native it likg to
live longy or not.

B Efore you proceed to any particular Dire&ion of the five

HylegiacaU places, you ought generally to eonfider the
ftrength of the Politure of heaven, and therein whether the
degree afcending, the Lord of the Geniture, the ® or D , or
the light of the time are extreamly afHi&ed,&c. for thole ar¬
gue no long life: it were therefore in vaine to frame long Di-
re&ions upon that Nativity.
However, that which is principally confiderab!e,and ought
if poffible to be obtained, is, judicioufly to examine the Nati¬
vities of the Parents of the Childe, and whether the Signified*
tors of Childrenin them are ftrong yea or not; for as the good-
neflfe of fruit depends upon the temperament of the root, fo
alio Children, whole Parents have unfortunate Significatorsy>
doe"dye upon a final! fickncffe, &c. but lith they are not ufu-
ally attainable, you may proceed according to the Method
j following :
Firft, eonfider thedegree afcending, which moft properly
hath Sgnifieation of Life, whether it be fortunate or not; its
then fortunate when in the termes or ligne, or in the or A
of a benevolent Planet; and fo on the contrary unfortunate , ,
when either locally an in fortune vitiates the degree afcend¬
ing, or by his □ or <P afpeft; or when many violent fixed
Starres of the nature of the Lord of the eight, doe arile with
thedegree afcending, or are with or neer the Luminary of the
time* If according to thefe Fules you finde the Alcendmt for¬
tunate, the Childe may live paft his infancy; but if affli&ed.he
hardly elcapet hisver / infancy.
Secondly, the Lord of the afeendant is to be confidered, for
if he be Eflentially ftrong, free from Combuftion, Retrograda-
tion and affi^fion, fwifo in motion, not afflifted by the unhap- *
py alpefts of thole Planets who are either naturally unfortu-,
nate, or accidentally by polition, viz* if they be not impedi-
ted by the Lords of<;heeighthi twelft, fourth or fix&hou6& it‘

argues, the Child or Native may live long : usually the Lord
of the afcendant Combuft, or the degree alcending affii&ed, ar¬
gues fhort life, fo faith Jo. Scboner•
Thirdly, have fpeciall regard to the ® and 3), Specially
of the ®, if the Birth be by day 5 or of the 3>, if it be by night:
for if either of thett be ftrong and well dignified, or in a good
houfe, and in a favourable afpeft of either of the Fortunesy k*s
an argument the Native may long live * if otherwile, they deny
long life : for it's generally oblerved, that when the © and >
are partilly in d with the Infartunes, that then they are very
unfortunate, nor for the moft part doe thole who are born ei¬
ther upon the veryChange or fulMive long,or continue health-
full 5 for they who are borne upon the full 3>, dye by excefle,
or too great abundance of moyfture b they in the change of the
i 3 3 for want of humidity, or by realon of too much drincfle:
yet the weakeft bodies, moft fmall and moft fickly, are ulually
brought forth upon the change of the 3>. However, the Anti~
ents doe Cayy that \f the Luminaries are in partill of or cP, even
to a minute, and a Fortune, viz. V or 9 in the attendant, that^
then it’s not only an argument the Child (hall live,but alfo be
a&ive, full of mettle,as we fay, and wondrous fuccesfujl in the*
actions and affaires of his life, but however he fhall not attaine
to old age : If inftead of a Fortune his pofition in the attendant ^
you find an Infornme policed therein, judge death, or no long
life to that Native.
If both the Ligh s or one of them, efpecially that of the
^5me,be affli&ed in any angle by the malignant afpeft of an I*-
fof tune (wherein you muft obfcrve,. that the ® ism oft afftiffed
by his being in d with d , the 3) by her d with hb but the
® is more affli&ed by T? in his cP, and the 2> by cP of cfa)
if together, 1 fay, with the a fui&ion of either of the Lights, the
Lord of the afcendant be Combuft, or dangeroufl/ any other-;
wayes affii&ed, without doubt'the Child then borne will not
live long, &c.
Many Planets in the fixt, eighth, or twelft, the Lord of the
afcendant not beholding them • r the Luminaries or Hmjwfc
with any good afpeft, the Native will live but a while.

where note, the place of the Luminary is the place or degree of

the earth.

Lord of that Signe who difpofeth of the Apbcta or Hyleg, be po¬

colled the teftimonies of every of the four qualities, viz. Hot,
Moyft,CoId, Dry, according to the major teftimoniesjlo judge
of the Complexion.
If Heat and Moyfture overcome, the Native is of Sanguine

if Heat and Drinefle,then cholerick : if Cold and Drinefle,then
Melancholly.
You muft deale warily in the colledion of the teflimonies

it may come to pafle, that the qualities of the Planet and Sign

one have as many teftimonies of Heat, as the other of CoM,
thefe being repugnant qualities,the one takes off the other, and
they are not numbred or accounted : where there is no con^-

fhall fhew you by one or two f x ?mples, how to mix your judg¬
ment when the Signijicator of Manners is joyned to another
Planet*
If h be Significa tor of Manners and If be joyned with him
by body or afpeft, 'if. then qu lines th^ i!l nature of T?, and
therefore you mull not judge the Manners Saturnine^ but to
participate much of V i and the Native (ball be a very prudent^
wife man, quiet, a man of great eeuncell and judgment, learn-
€(h &e. this ig underftood,when \ is pretty ftrong.
L*t d" be aflc dated with T?, and let him be well fortified,
itfhewes, the Native will begin to undertake any thing, but
feldome conclude; for what the heat of d* ftirres up, the cold-
nefie of T? deftroyes qgaine ; the Native ufuallyl proves a
bragger, turbulent, feditious ( fearefully bold) implacable,
dibJaining other men, vapouring, windy people, tyrannical!
inhumane, given to all manner of villany, diftfembline both
with God and man.
Jr with T? the gentle Planet. 9 is commixed, and he Well
fortified, hedemonftrates a man little given to women, not
ambitious, or delighting in pleafurable things or perfons,
delighted to be in the company of aged men, auftcre, envious,
ftiffe in his owne opinion, deftrous to know the myfteries of
natu e, wary,fufpicious in womens matters. If He be evil! po¬
liced with 9 , it nofces an obfeene companion, mediing orco-
, 5 : veting
 feting fo tq doe wicbahy Woman, Kinfwoman or other, one
of no deliberation, a meer prophane perfon.
If 5 bein afpe& with T? when he is Significator of Manners;
and is well placed in the Heavens, the Native proves one of a
curious underftanding, greedy of Science atid knowledge, one
that will find out anyMyftery; itndteg people apt to medicine,
admirable Archite&s, Sophifters, great Difputants, captious,
difereet, (harp fancied, induftrioitsy&e. Who defires to be fatis-

Of the Wit orVnderHanding of the Native*

If the places of the Heaven wherein thefe Planets are placed
be well affr&ed, and they mutually apc& each other by a good
afpeft, there is then a proportionable conveniency betwixt
the rationall ftmle and the other vertues or fortitudes, from
whence an excellent and ftrong Wit arifeth 5 but if they are ill
affe&ed, or have □ or cP to each other, or that they .have no
afpeft 4t all to one another, there proceeds but a dull and dol-
fcifh Capacity or Wft. By well mixing the fignifications, a me¬
diocrity may be forefeen.

Lord of the Afcendant and the Lord of theSigne wherein h e is

Of the 'tooth* ach and Uufe thereof, from the Signified

Who hath & in the afeeniant in Hi, its probable he ioofes

all his great Teeth. I finde experimentally, thole that have
him in $ or X in the afeendant, doe loofe their great Teeth,
h combuft of the ® in a watery Sigmas in $ t or K ,fhews
great torment and pain in the Teeth * and this more grkvoufly
when T? and ® are in the Alcendant or tixt honfe. In any o-
I
ther Signes, he rather fhewes extremity of paine fr om too rre-
quent deflux of Rhurnes into the Jawe: without doubt the
ppfition of h in the Afcendant in any Signe, except \y or zs
is an allured argument of great paine in the Teeth : So alfo
when he is in the feventh,for then he is in cP to the afcendant,
I have conftantly obferved, that where T? was in the afcendant
in an earthly Signe, except yp, the Native had weake Teeth
and diftort, quickly perifliing ; if he were in an Aery Signe,
the Native was much vexed with Tooth-ach, but feJdome
drew any T ooth : If he were in a Fiery Signe, then excdTe of
heat caufed the Tooth-ach, but of themfe'lves the T, eth roted
without much trouble or paine, fave onely for a d .y or two.

You are herein to poyft with judgement all the Significant

feelonging hereunto, how they are affe&ed, principally $ and Signet of no
C , if both theft Planets be in barren Signes,7/is. i^n si ,and Marriage* ‘
alio in cadent houfesi viz. 6* p. 12. 8. ( for the eight houfe,
though it be not cadent, yet is admitted in this judgement by
reafon of its malignancy :) theft teftimonies import either a
fingle life, or an averfenefle from Marriage; and if it chance
that the other Significant doe herein concur, and that they be
in fterill Signes and cadent houfes,the effe&s of the former fig-
nificaters (hall be more manifeft and certain.
If the aforefaid Significant 9 but efpecially 2> and $ are not
fo conftitutcd 5 fee then if either of them is weake or little for¬
tified ; and befides that,conjoyncd to T?, he being very potent,
$ her felfe alone, having not the fupport of any Planet by a
good afpefr» and if you then finde }> pofited in a barren Sign,
or cadent houfe, or cxtreamly affli&ed, theft argues no Marri¬
age or any defire thereunto. . . r
&But in this point of judgment, you rauft ever under ftand,
Eeec 2 that
 to Nattirftkf,
that h ought to be very ftrong; for if 9 and the 5 be more
fortified then. h -,them the preceding judgment holds not true.
The fame judgment before delivered, will hold of i Angle
Life, or unwillingnefle thereunto: when' in a Nativity you
find T? more elevated then either j or 9 , no Planet aflifting
either of them ; for herein his elevation is equi valent to a d .
And this judgment feems to be confirmed with reafon, for j>
and 9 fignifie Legitimate Marriages,and the Natives afftfUon
to a married life,therfore if either of thefeorboth beextreafnly
impedited of T?, the author of Monkery and Solitarintjfc, or
of Angle life, it takes away that affeftion of mind which doth
ufually ttir up a defire in the Native to contraft Matrimony.
Concubints and private Sweet- hearts ate difeovered by 9 her
■afpe&to h and <f 5 being all of them peregrine or weak,- and

_ You mufl remember this, that the other Sigriificatm of Mar¬
riage are alio to be examined, viz. whether they be in barren
Signes or cadent houfes, or Weak and much affixed, and in

Significant agree with the afMion of 9 &;I> , without doubt
the Native will then never Marry: 5 in m, in Q of h , he in

quainted you before, the Planets dignified Matters and PerfonSj
wherefore if thofe Planets that defign travell are conjoyned to

nificatorfiie Ihewes the caule of Travell to proceed from Matters
or men Saturnine, viz. as for matters either for difcovery of
Tome rich Mines^ or recovery of fome Inheritance befallen him
by the Deceafed, or fome liich Things or Commodities as are
Saturnine, As for Men, Ancient men, grave, reverend Magi-

With what fuccejfe.
The faccefle which may be expe&ed from the Profefiion is
required from the ftrength of the Signify at or, or the Lord of
Magiftery : if he be potent in Eflentiall dignities, and not aftli-
&ed by the malevolent partill configuration of the InfortuneSy
and be alfo potited in the angles of the Figure, and Orientally
it's an argument, the Native proves a famous Workman, excel¬
lent and furmounting moft of his Profeflion, that he fhall gain
great Eftimation thereby, and be in publike Reputation there¬
fore.
But if the Significator be weak. Occidental or Cadentyopprdf.

no very great parts, ftill beholding to others, contemptible^
not thriving by his Art,, every one difdaining his Workman-
fhip : Where note, that when 1? doth affiift the Signiitcator, the
Native proves a Sluggard, a Lazy Fellow, fearfull to put him
felfe forward..
If cf impedfte, the man is raft, oBRinate, conceited, infa¬
mous : If both the Infortunes at one time afflift the Significatory
then the affliffions he runs into by his profeilion are num-
berleffe, or have no end.
The nature of the Signes wherein the Significator or Signifi-
iStalure of the catsrs are placed, doth much conduce unto this manner of

THE EFFECTS OF
D I RECTIONS.
E whole Art of Dire&ions is copioufly
handled by Regiomontam#, Maginus, Lcovi-
f/W, Manginus^Zo bolus fee* bat moftexqui-
litely by Argolw.r, in his Primnm Mobile, un¬
to whom Potienty muft acknowledge
themfelvcs exceedingly obliged : It is very
true, that before Regiomontanus did frame
Tables, Antiquity was much perplexed in
dire&ing a Significator which was not upon the cufps of the
Houfe, by reafon they had no exa& method for finding out the
true circle of pofition of any Planet, when elongated from the
cufps of a houfe : they did then direft either by the Tables of
Houfes fitted for the latitude where the Native was born,or by
the Vntrnall andNotfurnall Horary times, a laborious difficult and
obfcure way : yet the onely Method Ptolomey left, which is
mentioned by Origanums pag. 391- and Argolusy pag. 283. of hi*
Introduction to bis Ephemerides, and Maginus, in Canon 55* of his
Primnm Mobile 5 Pez>d’m^ fob 186. Garc£in^ 449. Junftinus3 pag.
391. lib. prim. At this day we ufe no method in Directions but
■Argoluf} which is generally approved of in all parts of Europe
as moft rational!. The Art of Direction being onely to find out Direction
in what fpace of time the Significator fhall meet with his Promt- wherefore,
tor j or in more plaine termes, Wtens and at what time, or in what
yeerfuch or fitch an accident (hall come to pafie, viz. In what yeer Prefer¬
ment ; When Marriage ; When Travdl; When cncreafe of Eft ate 3 8cc.
The general! judgment upon anv Nativity informes us, by the
confideration of the twelve houfes, what the generall fortune
of the Native may be in the whole courfe of his life, but the
Art of Direttion meafures out the time into Yeers, Moneths,
Niinn 2 Weeks
 The EfeSts ocDire$tiont.
Weeks and Dayes, informing us beforehand when we may cx~
peS in particular, what is generally promifed us in the Root
of the Nativity ; and although many times it pleales God that
we doe not hie the mark aright, as to poynt of time, JVben ;
yet verily I impute the errour not to the Art, but to the id!s-
neflfe or infufficiency of the Artifl, who not rectifying the Na¬
tivity exiclly before he framed his Directions, doth in his annu¬
al! judgment (Entire tato CAo *, ) for indeed it is the molt diffi-"
cult learning of a’l ACtrologie, to verifie the afcen fant, as l have
found by my frequent experience 5 for if we f ile two or three
degrees in the afeendant (as we may well do) through humanev
frailty, then, I fay, the Accidents fignifrd thereby muft come *
fo many yerrs looner or later, &c. and fo when the degrees of
mid*heaven are not right.
Who defire to be expert in Directions, let them repairc unto
the Aut hors above mentioned, it being no part of rny task at
Tie (ffetts f this time : 1 will now deliver the Effects of Directions,viz. What
Direct ions. manner of Accidents the Native may (xpe&, upon his good or
evil! Dirediovs ; and what every one of the HjIegtacaU places
fignihe, and how made ufe of, what every Planet lignifieth of
him ft 1 fe, w ha t by Acciden r.
In the firft place therefore, we muft confider whether the Di
red ion we would judge of, be good or evil! which is knowne
eafdy by the good or ev'dl afpefrs.
Secondly, a good Direction and a fortunate one, gives Profl
ferity and Fortune, fuch as the Significhtor of the Direction doth
fignifi? and intimate ofhimfelfe, (hall come to paffein fuch or
fuch things, or from fuch or fuch perfons which he lignihes
by Accident, viz. by realign of the houfe in which he is confti-'
trned, or of what houfe he Is Lord of in the Root of the Na-
tivii v.

Thirdly, the caufe of the Felicity is declared from the Pro-

tn’ttor, according to the fame manner as is mentioned of the
S/gnrfica*or, by hlmfelfe and by Accident; afcerwarvls from th?
houfe of Heaven wherein the DireCHon doth mect,viz.\n what
h ' nfa the degree of the Promiftor doth happen.
Fourthly, an evil! Direx'io'n portends adverfe Fortune in fuch

If both of them be wholly weak and unfortunate, the c-fre&s

You muft alfo obferve, that if the Infortunes, being Pmnittors

the evils will be more tolerable, and doe lefle mifchiefe : if in

there are good and ill dire&ions of divers fignifications,fo that

' Of the meafure of time in Directions,

B Efore I handle this point, I muft give this general! Inftru-

ftion to the younger Tonnes of Art, that in judging of the
cffe&s depending upon any Dire&ion, they maturely confider
the age of the Native, for events are to be accommodated unto
the difference of times, and therefore one (hould extreamly de¬
ceive himfelfe,that upon any ftrong Dire&ion of theafcendant
ormid-heaventothe A or ^ or d of $ or 2>, (hould pre¬
dict Marriage unto a Native that is then but three, four or five
yeers of age; how much, 1 fay, (hould the Artift miffe the mark
if he (hould attribute that a&ion to an Infant,of which he can¬
not then be capable ; or what a madneffe were it to predict to
an aged man the begetting of a Child, when in reafon it felfe,
and by reafon of his extreamc feeblenefle, no fueh thing can or
may be expe&ed ; we muft therefore prognofticate things pof-
ffble and natural!, befitting and agreeing unto every one, ac¬
cording to the difference of his yeers, &c. We muft al(o in all
our predi&ions have the world to underftand, that the com¬
mon or generall fate of any Nation or place, is of more effica¬
cy then any ones particular : we muft alfo confider the Region
where any one is borne,if we will exquifitely judge of the (hape
and forme of the Native, and of the manners of his Mind, &c«
ever confidering the mo ft powerfiill caufe, &c.
But now we come to handle the meafiire of time in Directi¬
ons, wherein there are at this day three (everall Opinions, yet
not fuch as doe make any great difference in the matter.-
The opinion of Tt&lomey hath continued fince his time untill
this lad Age without any contradi&ion ; and it was thus : If
you would direct the afcendant in any Nativity, you muft per-
form it by the oblique afcentions belonging to the place where
the Birth was : the words of Ptolomey, lib. 4. cap. ult. are thefe:
Cum autem pwogatio fumitur ab Horofcopo, demur ami gradibm
kngitudinii, a quale s tfcenfmibut cujufque Climatk : ftn autm
fumitur
 The EffeSh of Directions.
fumitur prorogatio a medio cceli, dentur ami equates afcenfmibus m:m
diti cceli: A ufque ad Cardinem fimili tnodo dentur anmaqnales pro-
proportion collati ad afcent tines aut defcentiones , ant tranfitum in
midio«caeli, &c. and a little after he faith, pro fengulisgradibus
annum tribuentes, &c. He meanes no more, but that the aP
Cendant in every Nativity is to be dire&ed by the oblique at¬
tentions of the Climate; the mid heaven by the right afcenti-
ons ; the meafure of time is by allowing for every degree of the
JEquatoroneyeer, for every minute thereof fix dayes, 8tc. In
our Nativity, pag. 500. the afcendant is 6. 37, vy, the oblique way
afcention belonging thereunto,in the latitude of $3. where the ofmeJurincL
Birth was, is 312.1 o, I would know in what fpace of time the ^ ®
afcendant (hall come to the Terries of cf, and after that to the
cP of cT • ■ *
Oblique afcention belonging to the Terms of c? in 20. v? is 324 5
Oblique afcention of the afcendant 312
difference is *
According to the meafure of time by Ytolotney,eleven degrees
gives elevenyeers, 55. min. give eleven moneth$,for every five
minutes give one moneth ; fo then in the latter end of the
twelft yeer, this Native's afcendant came to the Termes ofd" I
you may fee what it (hould fignifie if you look in the Chapter
ofDire&ions,what the horofcope to the Termes oftf prenotes*.
27;e oblique af:ention of the cP of (f is 3322
Of the afcendant 312 10
difference T9 fi
So then the afcendant after nineteen yeers and ten inoneths
and twelve dayes, comes to the <p ofd" •
T’be fecond meafure of time.
Aktonius Maginus, an Italian of lingular Learn¬
ing, and one of the greateft Mathematicians of Europe, was the
firft that queftioned this meafure of time, delivered unto Pofte-
\ky by Ptolomey, in pag. $ i.of his Primum Mobile, printed 1604*
induced hereunto (as he faith) by an Aphorifine of Doftor Dee
of London, and fomething elfe gathered from the Writings and
opinion of the famous Tycho Brahe the Vane, See, he concludes
thus,: That the meafure of time ought not to be taken or dedu-
Vnrj] red

ced from the Ample motion of the ©, but from his true or ap¬
parent motion, &c. and concludes. That in his opinion j we
o^ght to take for the common meafure of one yeers (pace in
the directions of every Significator9 that arke of the Mquator
agreeing to the apparent motion of the © at time of the birth
according to his right afcentions, and not oblique afcentions
of the Region.
The Prattig&*
| Take the right afcention of the © at the houre of the birth, j
as if it were at noon $ adde againe the apparent diurnall moti¬
on of the ® for the next day and fame hour,and take his right
afcention, then fubduft the leffer right afcention from the
greater, and what remaines is the difference of the revolution
of the firft mover from the diurnall revolution ©f the © , and
fhall be accepted for the meafure of time for one yeer.
In our Nativity, pag. 500. the place of the © is & 37. a ,
his right afcention is 186. 4. the apparent motion of the © .
added to the fame hour of the next day, makes it 7. 36. tss, jts
right afcention 186.58. the former right afcention fubftrafted
from the latter, there refteth as follower
186 58
186 4
ooq 54
So then here is 54. minutes and no more, and this propor¬
tion of the JEquator fhall be the meafure of one yeer in the Di¬
rections of our Nativity, according unto Magmas: We have
added a general! Table, by meanes whereof, without taking !
the right afcention belonging to the ®, you may know that
portion of the JEquator3 which muft be had in any Nativity, j
for the yeerly meafure of time: I doe the more willingly in-
fert this Meafure, becaufe William Bredon9 a late Minifter of the
Church of England, and a Angular Jjirologian9 did wholly ufe i
this Method. The Table followeth.

How to judge upon a Figure of Projections*

I N the fir ft place confider the Sign afcending in the ProfeCti*

what place it had in the Radix, whether it was one of the
fuure Angles, or Succedants, or Cadents; whole Houle it was,
wch ot the Planers is exalted cherein,of whofe Triplicity, whe¬
ther a good or evill Planet was rherein at the Radix,or if © or
the Antifcion of any Planet was therein ; or whether a good
or an infortunate Planet beheld that Signe, and with vhat
afpeft; and whether out of a Signe commanding or t buying,
or that agrees or disagrees in nature; or whether it be a Signe
of long or (hurt afeenlions; or whether that part, which is
now the cufpe of the houfe* is with any of the more nobk fix¬
ed Stars; or w hether the Degrees arifing are of thole wee 11
Light,Dtep, Pitted5Dark,Cloudy,or Azimene, augmenting or
decreasing Fortune, &c.
For if the Signe of the Projection, as well in the Nativity as
in this Progrdfionall Revolution be free from misfortune,and
the Lord of that Signe Direft in both Figures, and in a Signe
of his owne nature (whether the Gc niture was no&urnall or
diurnal ) If, I fay, he be ftrong in any of his own? elk nr i II
dignities, be in a good heufeof heaven, as well in the Radix
as in the Annuall Figure of the Revolution of the @ , to his
place in the F adix ; ic is then a fare argument that the Native
lhalJ fully accumplifh fach things to his owne content, a? the
Lord of the yeer had Signification of in the Radix; and it far¬
ther intimates,a ftrong conftitution of body,ftabilityof minde,
and promiles in the general! that the yeer (hall be a faccesfull
one. You may, if you pleafe, together with this judgement*
for the health of the body nfider every yeer thefe five things,
which by experience 1 have found yery true.

By confederation whereof, you may ex idly know the ft ate,
condition and temperature of the body5 how it varies, and
what humour is molt in excefle, &c.
You mult next in order confider the Lord of the yeer, who
is ever that Planet that is Lord of the Signe afcending in the
Frofeftion; and if it happen two Planets are Lords of the yeere^
as ufiially it will be fo 5 then youmuft limit unto each his
time, thus j In a Figure of Profe&ion in our Nativity, where >£
6/degr. and 37* Afcend. 1 would know how many dayes of
that yeer ^ who is Lord of that Signe fhall rule: I fubdud

Hooke for 284. in my Table of the dayes of the yeer, T finde

the 29. of June: and then T following K',andcf being Lor<T
of T , he governeth the remainder of the yeer until! the t9«of
September, which was the birth day. So that as you finde two
Lords of the yeer, fo muft you have cunlideration to both Pla¬
nets, v 'Z. % and cT s unto ^ as long as he ruleth, afterwards
unto c? , during the remainder of the yeer 5 and judge of the
eff ds according unto their Fortitudes, Alpeds^ and Debi¬
lities, &C.
Lord of the Jeer. ' Profectmatl
If the Lord of the Yeer was in the Radix ftrong, but weake Judgments*
in the revolution, it imports that in that yeer the indeavours
of the Nitive will be but Weake, and his Adions according to
the prop ti of that infelicity which at prefen t he fuffers.But
if in the Radix the Lord* of che yeer was unfortunate and im-
pedited,but in theprofedional revolution is wel difpofed and
ftrong, it portends moderate goodneffe unto him whofe revo-
volutioi^
y 2S "Tlx Effe&s or PireStions.
ludon you then handle, yet (hall he feare none ill, for the vi¬
gor and force of the Lord of the yeer in Annwall affaires is ve¬
ry powerfull. But it the Lord of the yeer by Projection and in
the Radix, and in the ® his Annnall revolution be impedired,
it indicates prejudice to the Native, according to their proper
Signification : together with this, confider in what houfe or
place the Lord of the yeer is in, as well in the Radix as Revo-
lutionali Figure ; whe ther he be thong, or impediied; if he
be. powerful] in two of the Figures, he portends good,and that
the Native (hall have profit and live in good eftimation: if he
be well difpofed in the two Figures, but not in any configura¬
tion unto the benevolent, the Native (hall obtaine fomekinde
of goodnefie, but it will be leffe then expe&ed, nor will it con¬
tinue. If in both Figures he be unfortunate and cadent, but
yet is in afpeft with good Planets,it argues but a finall increale
of Eftate, yet verily it performes f mewhat.
If the Lord of the yeer be impedited of the Infortunes in
both Figures, and was alfo in the Radix in □ or cP ofthtMa-
levolents 5 it portends adverficy,danger, and many enormities
in that yeer. But if that Malevolent Planet hafttns to combu-
flion, or to be Retrograde, it implies fome unreasonable ne-
ceflity (hall oppreffe him of the nature of thofe Planets; and if
they be Angular, the greater (halJ be his misfortune. If the
Lord of the yeer in both thefe Figures be not conftituted in an
Angle, but is ill dignified; yet notwithftanding behald the
Afccndant, the before mentioned evill (hall not be fo publique,
but (hall be onely taken notice of by his owne friends ; but if
the Planets be in the 2, 6,8, or 12. this milchance (hall be
fmothered and kept feci et/o that none (hall know of it; yet if
thofe Planets are removed from the attendant, and then fome
Planet in an Angle afpeft them,?fter a while there will be a dif-
covery made, though at prefent it feemes to be kept clofe, &c.
This is as much as I have found verified by experience of lame
eminentNativides,which I freelv publifk for benefit of P: fieri-
ty ,&c. What is wrote of the Afcendant, will equally fer vt for
all the other Houfes, if with diferetion you vary the Ruks.

When to the fecond houfe, it’s good to buy and fell Com¬

fear , in danger of Water, itt not good to goe long jour-
neys, 8tc. ' ..
When to the fift, the N itive takes pleafure according to hts
vfer8, either at Schoole with his equals, or wtch women, if ca¬
pable, or according to the yeers of his age when this happens ;
it’s g and to make Covenants) fend Letters, perfeft Accompts,

When to the hxt, he may feare a ficknefie, the hatred ot ma¬
ny vulgar people, continuing a long time : beware of ijl Ser¬
vants, make no Journeys, an ill time to deale in Merchandize,

mi s aiifeagainft him, it’s g iod to marry,the other Sipiificattrt
concurring ; oppreffed with wangling, v«.x«d with tu’.cs or
contentions; if the Native radically incline to Souldiery, it
now puts him forward, and inclines unto quarrelling.

When to the ninth, it points out a convenient time to un¬
dertake long Journeys, it9s good to ftudy and to follow Learn¬
ing, and to be familiar with Church-men, to ftudy Chymiftry,
for it ftiewes a mind and fancy inclinable to curiolities, &c.
When to the tenth, the Native is inclinable to be ambitious,
or to endeavour Preferment, and to be converfan* with emi¬
nent men, Magiftrates, Nobles, &c. and he (if capable) attains
Preferment, or publifce employment in the Common-wealth;
It notes a fie time in the Tradefman to follow his employment

navigate or journey by Land or Sea with good fafety and re¬

fon, the encreafe of the Native's Friends, it imports the yeer
to be very profperous in all worldly affaires, and it invites the
Native to beftirre himfelfe and husband time well, whereby he
may much advance his private fortune; &c.
When to the twelft, the Native will be fickly, yet hardly
find out or difcover the caufe, be in condnuall emnity with ill
Neighbours, and none knowes for what £ he willbe in danger
ofimprifonment or banifhment,or hiding his head, unlefle the
twelft houfe in the Radix was fortunate, it imports an unlucky
yeer for dealing in great Cattle, and advifeth the Native to be¬
ware of Horfmanihip, Horfe-races. See. The Ancients have here¬
in been tedious, and left very many rules, which by reafon of
being ill tranflated out of the Arabic]^ by fuch as underftood
not Affrologie, are in many things contradi&ory : I have there¬

concluding with this fbort vale9 That when the afeendant

one was, confider in what houfe of the Revolution that Infor¬

their Significations.

W Hen cither the Signe culminating in the Radix 9 or

wherein then the ® was, (hall come to aicend in a From
^fettionallRevolution,the Native is then promifed good fortuue by
his employments publick, by his Profeffion or Trade, or by
fome Office or fervice he (hall performe for fome great perfon;
however, it denotes dominion or foveraignty if he be but a
petty Conftable..
When to the fecond houfe, it’s intended the Native ffiall
then receive the profits of his former yeers employment, and
(hall have in poffeffion that reward which was but formerly
promifed him.
When to the third houfe, the Native may expe& but an in¬
different condition of life : for in regard it’s the fixt houfe
from the tenth, it intends more ill then good, viz. the Ioffe of
Kinred, hatred of malicious Neighbours, or robbery in Jour¬
neying.
When to the fourth houfe, the Native’s fame and eftimation
is called in queftion, the Native and his Parents agree ill, and
his Neighbours of more power then himfelfe doe fwell.
When to the fift, he that hath children, will much rejoyce
with them ; he that hath none, inclines to be merry, jocund
and wanton,to take his pleafure,fpending more then he gets.^
When to the fixt houfe,a convenient time and feafon to agi¬
tate certaine affaires belonging to his Family and to Husban¬
dry 5 but nothing fuccesfull to deale in matters or things ho-

of his body, or other very many cafualties, principally ifthofe

The Signe of the ieventh houfe in the Radix being the af¬
cendant of the Revolution, Ihewes many contentions and
brawlings in that yeer, and the Native deffrous of Marriage,
or that he will marry that yeer : And feeing that the Signifi-
cators of the Radix ought annually, or in every yeer to work
their effefts by the fignifications of thole houles in which they

Mars and naturally fignifie the Weft, 2 the South.
2 being Peregrine, and fo giving his vertue to the ©, and
the © weak, both of them difpofed by 2 5 and fhe Almuten of
the Nativity; all point out the South, verging to the Weft.
The Significators generally point out from the place of the
Birth, that part of Heaven which lyes South and by Weft, or
more South then Weft, becaufg of 2 5 and that beft alfo.
Nor is the Native denied travelling towards the South-eaft,
for

a South- eaft Signe : but I cannot encourage much that wayes,
but when b is ftrong and in an eafterly Signe.
The caufe moving to Travell.
Which is deduced from the Significators of Travell, and the
houfes wherein they are $ but in my judgment, as properly
from the houfes of which the S ignificators are Lords*
In our Scheame 9 5 and ® being principall Significators,
are in the eighth, 9 being Lady of the fourth, and 9 Difpc-
ier of the 3) and Lord of ® ; 2) is Lady of the feventh, and
& is in that houfe, difpofed by the ©; from hence arifeth this
judgment, That as the 3) and 9 are in A, 9 difpofing ®, it
was defire to encreafe his Fortune, or to get Wealth, tha t hath
or {hall move or caufe the Native to Travell; together with a
naturall defire or propenfity to vifit forreigne parts, becaufe $
hath difpofition both of 9 and ©, and is in her owne houfe
and Signe of the ninth, which may alfo fignifie the Native to
delight in thefe Peregrinations, &c. alfo being Lord of the
tenth, viz. of his Magiftery or Profeffion in with 3> and 9 5
might caufe the Native firft to be put on in his Travels by fuch
a one as Mars3 or by commiffion or authority of fome princi¬
pal! man.
Succejfe in ‘Travels. 5
(A more genera'll caufe not impediting) the Native hath no
great reafon to feare his fuccefie : feeing Sfica HE with the cufp
of the ninth, and obferving 9 ,Lady of long Journeys,effenti-
ally fortified, and the ninth houfe totally free from any hoftile
afpeft of b or cf, I judge the Native may expeft good fuccefie
in his Travels, viz. attaine Wealth and Reputation; yet 3) in
^ with Mars,and Mars in * with 9 5 in Signes of long afcen-
tions, may upon fome malevolent dire&ion of the afcendant

good to give this general! caution. That if he doe travcll into

A R t i s t s ufually confider Mars, 9 and 9 , who being
found either efTentially ftrong, or any of them Lord of
the
 Judgment upon "Nativities,
the tenth, or pofited ini the leventh, which is naturally the
houfe of Commerce, or in any partill afpeft with the 2> , doe
for the moil part fignifie a Profeflicn, &c. Mars is defigned for
the Native. Where note, the quality of the Native is ever con-
fidcred ; for Kings and Nobility have no profeflion^, therefore
it were abfurd to tell them of a Trade58cc. but doubtlefte they
may be inclined to Inch or fiich kinde of men, or things as are
fignitied by the Significator of Magiflery.
In one Scheam Mars being Lord of the tenth, in with ]> 9
® and 2 , doe abfolutely pronounce to the Native a Profefli-
on, of what kinde we (hall difeover, the mixture or many af-
pefts of all the Significators, argue that his Profeflion (hall not
be one and the fame alwayes, but vary, according to the times
and direftions of the Hilsgiacalls. The potency of $ in o' with
® and d* in the fcventh,and proximity of Significators to each
others afpeft ; fay, he (hall trade or deale in (uch things as are
ufefull for man and without which man may not well fubfifl: :
this I judge, becaufe both 9 ® 9 and 2> are in humaine
Signes : Mars in SI the houfe of the ® may denote in Mettals
and Minerals, ofMartiall and folar condition. 9 reprefents
Jewels, Bracelets, ornaments for Women. 9 fignifieth Ac- yiz fQ j)av^

ing : V eflentially ftrong and Lord of the i Ith and 9 in Cazimi
with the © his repute is fignified to be very fplendid, fortunate
and famous, according to the quality of his birth or profeflion
he uleth : So that from hence I gather the Native (hall have a
Calling, (hall live plentifully of it, and in much eftimation in
all thofe places where he (lull relide; fo that what amongft
men honourably defeended is honour in a drift fence, (hall
be fame, reputation and a plentifull manner of living, in the
courfe of life the Native is defigned for : and this is apertly
Demonftrated by the being of ® with 9 . The A which the
Luminaries have to each other, and alfothe 2) her proximity

dition and he is Lord of the tenth. Nor is X his being in ** to
be flighted, he being Lord of the eleventh, may in time denote
fomc Office of publique truft in the Common* wealth.
So that having examined the Profeffion or quality of the
Materials the Native is to deale in; and having confidered the
Preferment or increafe he may expert thereupon, it refts onely
tp give the Native this Caution, which generally he is to ufe
during his life; that according to the good Directions of Me*
dium Cceli or © to benevolent Promhtors, he be more valiant
and aCtive, & e coniram: my meaning is, that in thofe yeeecs
when they come to fortunate afpeCh, he endevour with his
Penny and induftry to make good ufe of thofe proper Directi¬

Judgment upon Directions *

The moft fignificant dire&ions for this yeer are <3> M Antifc,
r J : Now becaufe ^ in the radix is Lady of the feventh and
pofited in the fifth, moderately ftrong 5 this dire&ion may de¬
note (to one in a way of Commerce) much converfe and deal¬
ing with vulgar people of Lunar condition, and fome profit by
Saylors, Widdowes, Gentlewomen, or the like 5 it may (hew
many contra&s or bargaines with fuch like people, and alio
profit by dealing in forraigne parts with fuch Commodities as
are of the nature of Luna. It may (hew alfo, by reafon the D
was in the lift in radice, that the Native may have much con-
verfe with Meffengers, Favors, forraigne Agents (Embaffa-
dours, if capable) and may (hew good encreafe of Subflance by
fuch men, and their meanes3&c.
The next Hylegiacall phce in order is i ad & ¥ without la-
l titude; the dire&ion is in the fixt and twelfth houfe, ¥ being
Promittor, denotes the quality of the accident to happen ,and he
was Lord of the eleventh, twelfth and had dominion in the fe-
cond in the Radix, the event muft either be from fuch things

it will doe well to thinke of both.

afflift the Native by reafon of fome unkindneile he (hall per¬
ceive from fome of his familiar acquaintance : and becaufe %
is Lord of the twelfth and policed there, its not fafe to vifit a -
ny imprifoned friends, left he himfelfe come to have fome re-
ftraint of liberty by information of a Lunar man. Men repre-
fented by % are probably like to be much prejudiciall to the
Native this yeer, viz• Gentlemen, Clergy,.Lawyers, but Gen¬

The ill intended muft come from the eleventh houfe,twelfth

difficulty in the Natives affaires, and much adoe to keepe him-
ielfe free from fome that would have imployment from him,or
withhim^ QX would have him adventure to fome Countrey or

meanes of an ill conditioned Woman ; and* fome confump-
tionef Subftanceby more then one. Amdthisis further con¬
firmed by d* his Contrantifcion of 9 about March next, at

note fome prejudice by vulgar Women, See. Here’s ho premi-

the third and tenth, and ® of the eighth, may denote fome
prejudice in matter of Inheritance or Patrimony,&c. by means
of Kindred or Souldiers.
The comming of 5 to his owne termes and U to a Sefqui-
quintW>o£ 2 , doe argue the Native to delight in Bookes, read¬
ing , and to be grave, auiiere and religioufly inclined. I had
forgot the fefquiqidntili of V to h with fals in the Signe afcen-
ding, viz* v? : this is a good afpeft, and fnew the Native to be
according to the twolaft Dire&ions, more grave,and folitary,
and inclinable to ftudy then formerly 5 and it doth alfo (eerrre
to take off much of the malice of former Dire&ions, in regard

There remaines but two more Dire&ions, d ad term, d 5 &

There may happily be many more Authors extant who
liave written of Aflrologie, but no more have as yet come unto
my hands; thefe 1 mention are all my own,&c. many of thele
perhaps have been iince printed at other places : Indeed Ftolomey
hath been printed in folio, in quarto, in octavo, in fixteens, and
hath been tranflated feverall times out of Greckjnto Latin : that
lately printed at Leiden I conceive to be the mod exa£t> it was
performed by Ailatius, &c. In a word, feme may blame me that
I write in the Englijh tongue yet I truft I have offended no
man, fith I write in my owne Language; and to fuch as fpeak
as I fpeak 5 nor doe I know that it is forbid unto man to write
in his owne Language, or is any man bound to readorheare
Ouooo 2 that

that contenteth him not: If this Book doe generally pleafe, I
fhall account him good, and think him worthy to live 5 but if
he difpleafe, I then beleeve the memory of it (hall foon perifti*
and my felfe (hall count kill: If notwithftanding this, mine
Accufers will not be fatisfied with this common judgment, let
them content themfelves with the judgment of the time, which
at length difcovereth the privy faults of every thing : which
becaufe it is the father of truth, it gives judgment without paf-
fion, a*nd accuftometh evermore to pronounce true fentence of
the life or death of Writings. Finis $ Deo gloria. Octob. 1. 1647?
