it be Aries on sheep Capricorn on Goats Taurus on Bulls Cows Oxen and the greater sort of Cattel and the like Neither oughtest thou to forget to make commixtures according to the nature of the Planets in configuration or Conjunction with her at the time of the Revolution for upon the true and exact commixtures which you have been shewn in the foregoing Planets and therefore needless here again to make repetition dependeth the whole secret and key of the Art and therefore let me here admonish thee once more although I have often already to be perfect in the nature and temperature of every Planet every sign every aspect every house every dignity every Triplicity every exaltation every term every face every detriment every fall every essential dignity and debility of every Planet in every Sign and then thou hast attained above half the Art nay three parts and three quarters being divided into four and therefore let the second Treatise intituled An Introduction to the Judgement of the Stars be read over and over which will perfect thee in these particulars so mayst thou boldly venter upon these two other Treatises which will then be most easily comprehended and the greatest mysteries therein quickly attained And thus much shall suffice to be said of the significations of the seven Celestial Planets in the 12 signs when they are Lords or Ladies of the year the same also should serve for Rules to the judging the Portencies of the Dragors head and Dragons tail but that perhaps their natures having not been before discussed so much as have the Planets they might remain obscure and the knowledge of the young Students therein defective wherefore I shall yet spend one quarter of a sheet more for their further instruction in this matter CHAP. XXII Shewing what is signified by the Head and Tayl of the Dragon as they are placed in any of the Twelve Signs in any Revolution MAny are the significations of ☊ and ☋ therefore to particularize every particular thing would be both tedious and in a manner needless yet I hold it very necessary you be well acquainted with their denotations in every sign of the Zodiack in any Revolution as followeth If therefore in any annual Revolution of the World you finde ☊ in Aries ☊ in ♈ it signifies the rise of great and noble men and the dejection and suppression of vile and ignoble and if ☋ be in Aries ☋ in ♈ it shews the ill state and condition of noble and great men and that they shall be injured and damnified by the common sort of People If ☊ be in Taurus it denotes the slaughter of Kings Noble ☊ in ♉ Great and Rich men in the Northern parts and in the Western parts many controversies and Dissentions amongst great and noble men and the Pleabeans if ☋ be in Taurus ☋ in ♉ it signifies little Piety or Mercy in men and women and many troublesom and unprofitable journeys in the same parts ☊ in Gemini shews sicknesses and divers infirmities to Rich and Noblemen ☊ in ♊ or such as are the Grandees of the earth which shall happen through tempestuous and noysom gales of wind earthquakes and unwholsom infectious Mists it signifies also Wars and Dissentions betwixt great and rich men and men of a middle degree and that the Trees shall be much damnifield by Catterpillers and such like Worms If ☋ be in Gemini the Commons shall be exalted and elevated ☋ in ♊ and they shall spurn at and despise their Superiors and Rulers and indeavour to get all power and authority into their own hands Also if ☊ be in Cancer ☊ in ♋ it denotes honorable and bountious acts of the King and Rulers towards their People and Subjects and if ☋ be in Cancer ☋ in ♋ it denotes great mortalities and pestilencies sudden deaths fornications and little or no justice reason or honesty amongst men the destruction of treasuries and the flitting of great and noble men our of one place into another also their sad condition and banishment through the works of their own hands as writing or some other thing signified by the ingenious Planet Mercury ☊ in ♌ Again ☊ in Leo in any Revolution signifies much lightning and apparitions in the ayr much dammage trouble and vexation and also infectious ayr ☋ in ♌ Dragons tail in Leo signifies a dark obscure ayr earthquakes increase of waters and wet weather and destruction to the fruits both of trees and the Earth ☊ in ♠Also if ☊ be in Virgo the fruits of the Earth and of trees shall be destroyed there shall be many Catterpillers and dammage and hurt shall pursue even those fruits doth of Trees and of the Earth that are gathered into the Store-houses or Barnes and they shall suffer great detriment and if ☋ be in Virgo shame hatred ☋ in ♠and disgrace shall fall upon noble and great men and there shall be much dissention and controversie amongst them Religious houses and such as study Divine matters also shall greatly suffer dammage trouble and loss many discords debates and quarrels amongst men in points of Religion and Faith Schisms and Heresies c. ☊ in ♎ Moreover ☊ in Libra shews that Kings and the Grandees of the earth shall exercise their power and authority over their People both against Justice and their own Honour taxing them with crimes whereof they are innocent and imposing Taxations and heavy extortions and burthens on them insomuch that by reason of their poverty which they shall be reduced to and their grievous sad condition they shall sink under the burthen as not being able to sustain it but if ☋ be in Libra ☋ in ♎ it denotes the mortality of fourfooted Creatures especially those of the smaller sort also in Summer extream drought and in Winter very hard cold weather the Fruits of the Earth shall be destroyed also the Seeds Plants and Trees shall be damnified so that they shall produce little or no increase ☊ in ♠Dragons Head in Scorpio signifies joy success and gladness to men of mean degree and sadness grief and trouble to great men and those in high degree also dissentions quarrels and bloodshed amongst them if other testimonies concur and amongst the common people deceat treachery and fornications for the which misdemeanors they shall many of them fall into the hands of their Kings and Rules if Dragons tail be therein ☋ in ♠men shall be molested with many feavers and infirmities in the brest catarrs and defluctions in the throat but noble and great men shall be safe quiet and in a peaceable condition ☊ in ♠Again if Dragons head be in any annual Revolution in Sagittary the common people of Babylon shall be afflicted by their King and Superiors and suffer many vexations and injuries by them also their beasts shall suffer much detriment and those that are in an hostile-posture especially if it be in the last
familiarity or correspondency with the Ascendent in friendship c. Of the seventh house The seventh house is the angle of the West and by reason it in order followeth the sixth is the seventh from the Ascendent it hath signification of open enemies for that it is the opposite house to the Ascendent and for the same reason hath signification of theft or the thing lost adversaries in Law-suits and the like it hath in like manner signification of women in general of marriages I could never finde the reason why the ancients have ordained the seventh or opposite house to the Ascendent to signifie the wife of the Native and women in general except for that they are so contrary to the disposition of men the one being for the most part solid and resolved the other sickle and unstable as their mother the Moon as also that they often prove the destruction of men rather then assistants and comforters for which they are made as Eve was the destruction of Adam Dalilah of Samson and many the like examples I could here relate both out of the Holy Writ and other writings but since the subject is so vile and mean it is not worthy the pains wherefore that very example of Solomon the wisest of Mortals may suffice who notwithstanding he had so large a portion of the spirit of God was by this Sex drawn to Idolatry and many other sins against the living God insomuch that it hath staggered the learnedst Writers in Divinity and put them to a non plus to imagine by any conclusion whether he was saved or no but le ts return to our business since I may thus conclude of them that they prove either the greatest comforts or the worst of afflictions to men Of the eighth house The eighth house being the succedent of the angle of the West is so called it is a house which beholdeth not the Ascendent and is above the earth and is the ayd and assistance of the open enemy as the second is of the Native it being in opposition thereunto wherefore it hath signification of mortality death poyson destruction and mischief which is to happen the Native in his life Of the ninth house The ninth house is so called for that it followeth next after the succedent of the angle of the West and is called Cadent it is in a Trine of the Ascendent and above the earth wherefore it hath signification of all goodness as Religion learning revelation by Dreams as also of all religious men and orders as Divines Hermites Monks Fryers c. Also all manner of Students as Astrologers Physitians Lawyers and all Students of other good learning whatsoever Of the tenth house The tenth house or the south angle in order followeth next after and therefore is the tenth house this hath signification of the mother of the Native for that it is the opposite house to the fourth signifying the father it signifyeth also dignity preferment and honour of the Native for that it is the vertical point of the Heavens or the highest pitch thereof and also for the same reason signifieth Emperours Kings Princes Noblemen and great men or the Grandees of the earth and such as are in authority must be understood if there be no King c. Of the eleventh hâ—use The eleventh House being the succedent of the angle of the south is so called and for that it is in Sextitle of the Ascendent and above the earth it hath signification of friendship and amity hope faith c. Of the twelfth house The twelfth house being the Cadent of the angle of the South following in order the succedent thereof is therefore the 12. house it is above the earth not beholding the Ascendent and therefore hath signification of private and occult enemies imprisonment poverty misery and disgrace Witchcraft and Sorceries it hath also signification of great cattel as the 6. the opposite house had of small And so much concerning the reasons of the significations of the twelve houses or mansions of Heaven Note this well Yet note here as the second house from the Ascendent signifieth the ayd assistance and wealth or substance of the Native the third his kindred brethren neighbours c. the fourth his father lands houses and the like the fifth his children c. so you must know that the substance of the brother neighbour kinsman and the like is signified by the fourth being the second from the third the fifth doth signifie his brethren the sixth his father the seventh his children and so round the whole Heaven according to the signification aforesaid still remembring that the house signifying any party of whom the question is is his Ascendent The second from it is substance the third his kindred as the fifth house in the Natives figure hath signification of the wealth or substance of the father the sixth his kindred and brethren also the Uncle or Ant of the Querent by the fathers side the seventh his Father and the Querents Grandfather or Natives and so you must understand of the rest of the Houses still varying your rules according to discretion for much doth the thorow-knowledge of the signification of every house conduce to the perfection of the Student in this Art I think good here notwithstanding in the 21. chapter of this first Treatise you have heard already somewhat as touching the divisions of the Heavens to give you the division thereof more plainly in this following chapter CHAP. XLII Of the division of the Houses into twelve equal parts NOw then you are first to know that the Horizon cutteth or divideth the Heavens into two Hemispheres the upper and the lower parting six of the houses into one Hemisphere and six into the other viz. the upper hath 12 11 10 9 8 and 7th houses the lower the 6 4 5 3. the 2d and first house And as the Heavens are divided into two Hemispheres by the Horizon so are they also cut by the Meridian into two equal parts so that by these two Circles the Heavens are divided into four equal parts and every of the parts by sections and points of other Circles are divided into three parts so that the whole Heavens are cut into 12. equal parts which the most learned in this Art have called Mansions or houses The division which the Meridian makes is to divide the Heavens into the Oriental and Occidental parts six houses being Oriental six Occidental or so inclining Oriental are the third second first twelfth eleventh and tenth Occidental ninth eighth seventh sixth fifth and fourth Now you must know that the four equal parts abovesaid are called by the learned in this Science quadrants because each part is the quarter or fourth part of the Heaven The first Quadrant is that part of the Heaven which lieth between the middle of the Heaven and the Ascendent or Horoscope and this is the Oriental Ascending Infant Masculine Sanguine and vernal Quarter and

Containing the Ground-work of Revolutions considerations before Judgement and the true Significators of such things as are necessary to be judged of in this manner of Work WE shall desire the Studier and Well-willer to this most Heavenly and delectable Art seriously to consider and weigh the subsequent Rules since this general part and it only as you have sufficiently heard is to be accounted ASTROLOGIE in its purity without fallacy or abuse Wherefore for the better illustration thereof as also instruction of the well-willers thereunto I shall in the handling of this our Introduction to the Judgement of Annual Revolutions of the World follow this Method The method the Author follow in this Book First to demonstrate since you have heard already in the Epistle the extent of Revolutions and what general Accidents may be foreknown thereby in the Elements and Elementary World the ground on which Astrological Judgements are to be laid or from whence to be deduced for the predicting or knowing any accident or mutation in the World and how many Schemes or Figures of the Heavens ought to be erected for the performance thereof Secondly what is to be considered before Judgement be given thereon necessary for the accomplishment of the work Thirdly and lastly most rational and authentick Rules deduced from natural causes how to judge of all accidents whatsoever portended by Revolutions of the years of the World which notwithstanding you have already heard them expressed by reason some of the Antients have reduced them excellently to four heads I shall thus further illustrate What accidents are portended by Revolutions of the years of the World The first denoteth such accidents as are visible in this World and to every mans sight obvious and common to every one as any Epidemical or general thing fertility and sterility rain hail storms and the alteration of the ayr and weather and such like The second such as are invisible in the Elementary World either general or particular as are Earthquakes Thunders Floods c. The third things peculiar to one single Nation or People as Wars Peace c. The fourth relateth to such things as happen in the ayr such as are fiery apparitions Lightnings Comets or Blazing stars and such like
and be Significators as you have been already shewn in the first Chapter of the first Section of our Introduction to Elections The vanity of the opinion that ♄ and ♂ are always bad and ♃ and ♀ good As for example in the Suns ingress into Aries I have Libra ascending or Aquaries or Capricorn and Saturn located therein I must not hereby because Saturn is Naturally evil judge the condition and state of the People signified by the Ascendent to be evil and unfortunate this year but contrarywise other testimonies concurring they will be in a most prosperous and gallant condition For you must know a Planet in his own house is strong and advantagious according to the old Proverb The Devil is good to his own Children and so contrarywise Jupiter in my Figure at the ingress is in detriment and afflicted and Significator or Planet from whence I am to inquire of fertility and in Square or Opposition of other Significators which also concur to the same signification must I from hence because Jupiter who for the most part is good and in his own natural inclination free from mischief affirm or conclude the year to be fruitfull and free from any want or penury No but because he is the Significator this year of this matter and in detriment retrograde in his fall afflicted impotent and weak I judge the clean contrary For I am to judge according to his signification and ability at that time not according to his natural signification for otherwise we should make most manifest contradictions and confound our selves both in judgement and reason to make Saturn and Mars the only Workers of iniquity for we see clearly all the evils in the World are not of the Nature of these two which would of necessity follow were this admitted but some are Jovial some Venereal and a third fort Mercurial others participating of the Nature of the Sun and again of the Moon But to clear this point yet more fully for I would not have the ingenious thus misled in so gross an errour admit Jupiter or Venus bear chief Rule of the eighth house which you know hath signification of death and mortality and I finde by several consequences and reasons in nature the Heavens do incline to such mischief shall I barely because one of these rules that House conclude contrary to all found reason and manifest testimonies the year will be rather healthfull Believe it I shall refuse thus to do for every Planet must perform that whereunto it is ordained Venus is now to denote death as being Lady of the eighth and therefore in such years I ought thus to judge Yet thus much I shall follow her nature as to say there shall be much mortality or death amongst the People by reason of voluptousness or Venery and such like because she hath naturally such signification In like manner if Jupiter be Lord of the eighth and mortality that year denoted I shall notwithstanding he bears rule in that part of the Heavens thus judge as hath been said viz. death and mortality but the nature thereof I shall take from his natural signification as by corruption of Blood Feavers and the like I shall say is this mortality to be occasioned c. In the next place you are to have a special care to be well instructed in the nature of every Planet and House wherefore be thou sure to have the exact knowledge of the second Treatise it being Introductory before thou adventurest thus far least thou be discouraged from ever attaining to the perfection of this study which I am certain thou wilt never do if thou beest not therein very perfect wherefore let the first eight Chapters thereof be perused over and over and then proceed Judge not upon every light testimony but according to Reason and Art do thou order thy matter for the more assurances and testimonies you have on any matter and concurrences in causes the more affirmatively may you deliver your ' conclusions Fear God study Nature follow the Rules of Art be knowing therein and be ignorant in the vanities of the course of the World and thou shalt come nearest unto Truth and infinitely augment thy knowledge In your judgement of the Suns ingress joyn also in consideration with it the significations of Eclipses great Conjunctions Comets and Blazing-stars if there be any either preceding or coming after it for be assured these things never happen but before some notable change and alteration in the World Remember that according to the Debility and strength of your Significator you are to judge of the condition of any person the people or thing whatsoever thereby signified and you have attained to a great help but now least you should be still to seek in the true understanding of the Significators necessary in this manner of Judgement I shall notwithstanding what hath been delivered in the Introduction or Second Book of these our labours here beneath clearly demonstrate them unto thee CHAP. III. Shewing which are the Significators of the King People their Enemies and Assistants in any Revolution of the years of the World LArgely have the Antients treated of these matters yet some therein have come very short and to little or no purpose troubled their heads leaving still the Student both in doubts and errors wherefore according to the sincerity of my first undertakings I shall here indeavour to undeceive my Readers touching these particulars and impart unto them the truth and surest rules for the judging thereof I shall first give you some of their Instructions and then my own or such as I in my judgement hold to be most rational that so thou mayst be the better able to distinguish truth from falshood Note that those in Authority are understood by the tenth house when there is no King We shall begin with the Significator of Kings but you are to note that in any Nation where no such are the Grandees or chief Rulers of the times are to be understood the which say they is thus to be known or found Look to the Lord of the tenth house in your Figure at time of the Revolution of the Sun into the first point of Aries who if he be free from Combustion Retrogradation Impedition and such like and within five degrees of the cusp of the tenth either before or after viz. within or without the house he shall without doubt be the Kings Significator or chief Rulers without any farther inquiry but if he be any ways impedited as in Detriment Fall Combust Peregrine Retrograde or besieged c. he shall not be significator of the King or Chief Rulers Have recourse then to that Planet who hath Exaltation in the Sign of the tenth and if he be within five degrees of the cusp as you have heard and in no sort impedited or afflicted thou shalt conclude him to be Significator of the King but if he be impedited or afflicted as abovesaid he shall not be Significator But now
them by your significators coming to the place wherein the Infortunes were at the time of the ingress or meeting with them in their ordinary motions c. and this of either King People or any other still remembring to have regard to the Planet afflicted and who are thereby understood If the significator of the King or any other applyes to a malevolent Planet or receive the light of one slow in motion it threatens very much mischief or death to the party or parties signified by your significator To know the cause of any evil threatned Also if thou wouldst know the cause of any evil or cross to happen to the King or chief Rulers by the significations of the Houses thou must be sure thou beest well versed in them which thou mayst learn in the 42 Chapter of our second Tract in this Volume as if the significator be afflicted in the second House or from Planets therein judge the cause to proceed from the signification thereof as Money Wealth Assistants c. if in the third it is caused from or by Children Kindred Neighbors short Journeys and the like and so according to the signification of the other Houses judge if it happen in any of them and so likewise of any other significator as well as the Kings Mutatis mutandis also of any other thing or accident let this be your rule c. When it shall come to pass Look when the afflicting Planet comes to the perfect Conjunction Square or Opposition of your significator and at that time say the evil threatned will come to pass or when the afflicting Planet comes to the Cusp of the House signifying any person or persons of whom thou wouldst judge or to the place viz. degree and minute of the sign wherein the Planet which is your significator is located and say then the evil shall happen unless the fortunate aspects of the benevolents thereunto at the same time prevent it and if so then also see what House that fortunate Planet is Lord of and where located and of what significator and judge the deliverance or prevention to proceed from the person persons or things signified by the nature and signification of the Planet sign and House he is Lord of posited in and is significator of c. but if the aforesaid Conjunction Square or Opposition be in an angle then judge the evil portended to happen when your significator becomes combust of the Sun How to judge by the nature of the aspects of the nature of the persons signified by the Planet afflicting your significator Further note that if your significator be afflicted by Sextile judge the evil proceeds from such as are pretendedly friends to the King People or any which your significator denotes or from such as are not thought or suspected to be Enemies if it be by a Square aspect judge the mischief signified thereby to arise from such as are clandestine and secretly Enemies if by a Trine from real Friends and Confederates and lastly if by Opposition by open and professed Enemies Consider also the Planet afflicting and how dignified as if a Planet in his own House afflict the significator of the King or chief Rulers judge the evil to arise from their own domestick friends and alliance if he be in his exaltation say it will proceed from some of the Nobles Princes Dukes or such as are in high power and authority or near unto the Crown if but in his triplicity from such as have their dependency on the aforesaid Nobility or are allied unto them if in term from such as are inferiour unto these as are Marquesses Earls Lords and the like if in face onely then say they are but Knights or Gentlemen but if the Planet afflicting be peregrin and in no essential dignity it shall proceed from such as are altogether vile and base or of no reputation or quality having no honourable rise or dignity after the same manner may you judge as you have heard of the significator of any other as well as the chief Rulers by varying your rules according to art and discretion but I believe you will never have much need of these curious rules of the Ancients What is signified by the retrogadation of any Planet in Revolution If your significator be retrograde in any annual Revolution judge much trouble impediment and anxiety to the persons or things signified thereby As if it be significator of the King or chief Rulers it denotes much trouble and detriment unto their persons and great fear of unthroning of them likewise if it be significator of the People and so of any other or if the Lord of the year be thus afflicted say the condition of the People shall be very sad and grievous and much trouble and mischief shall be to their Cities and Towns and this shall more assuredly be if your significator be then in the terms of the Infortunes and the unfortunate Planet afflicted also and indisposed for then shall the mischief and trouble be the more grievous and troublesome So also if your significator be in the terms of a fortune if he be ill-affected weak and in the Houses of the Malevolents but if he be free the evil will be the less especially if he be in his own House or Exaltation or triplicity essentially well dignified What Kings and Rulers may expect when their significator or Lord of the tenth House of Heaven in any Revolution is impedited Now as touching the significations of the impedition of the Lord of the tenth in any annual Revolution and then let us proceed to the rules of the Ancients in judging the true state and condition of the Common-People in any Region by any Revolution of the year over and above what hath been already said for the better illustration thereof that so the Student may be the better able to retain and understand the rules of Art as also to judge of these matters the more accurately You have heard that the sign of the tenth House in any annual Revolution together with the Lord thereof hath signification of Kings and chief Rulers the which if it be combust in any of the Angles it signifieth destruction to the King or chief Rulers during that Revolutions effects As if it be in the Ascendent and the Sun be Lord thereof you may from hence conclude if other testimonies concurr that the Common People or Subjects will rise up against their Superior or Governers and kill him or them or depose them or at least grievously molest and afflict them according to the power and strength of the significators for if Mars do then afflict him by Conjunction or aspect and be either Lord of the eighth or fifth or therein located death is the more to be feared but if Saturn be then in aspect or Conjunction with the Lord of the tenth it is likely some Saturnian disease or evil will afflict his person if he be not Lord of the aforesaid Houses
and bear dominion either by essential dignity or bodily presence in the sixth or else some other misfortune will befal him according to the nature of Saturn and the place and sign of Heaven wherein he is located If the Combustion fall out so as to be in the seventh or fourth Houses of Heaven Judge the mischief to be according to the signification of these Houses as you have heard of the Ascendent for if it be in the seventh you shall say because it hath signification of the Enemies of the People that the disaster shall be occasioned by them in the fourth being the seventh from the tenth from his own proper Antagonists c. if in the tenth it self this combustion be it shall proceed from his own unruliness or wilfulness c. this is clear Wherefore now also have regard to the condition and state of the People but first let us consider the durability of Kings and Rulers CHAP. II. Teaching how to judge of the permanency or durability of Kings or such as are in Authority by any Revolution MUch time and paper might I here consume in delivering unto you all the ways the Learned in former ages have set down for the judging of this matter but lest I then deviate from both my intentions at this time and natural inclination to short discourses and trouble both thee and my self to no purpose since it may as well be delivered in fewer words I shall satisfie my self with these following rules From whence Judgement is to be required for the predicting the durability of any Kingdom or Government First Erect your figure of the Heavens which for the judging of these matters must be according to that punctum of time the King was first Elected or Crowned if you are to judge of a Senate take the time of their first sitting or assembling together or wherein they were first created or made a Free State or assumed power to act according to what their own counsels shall produce Then having exactly placed the Planets therein according to their then several places and reduced them to the just hour and minute of the day especially the Moon you are to see what Planet is Hylech or Alchochoden or Giver of Life in your Figure and Almuten or Chief Ruler of the Ascendent to know the state of his body or person what of the mid-heaven to judge of the state and condition of his Kingdom or Regal power and having thus done thou mayst easily judge of either of these in this manner Observe what sign degree and minute ascends and culminates what sign degree and minute the Sua and â—â—oon possesses and where to a very minute also is your Almuten and Hylech of each House then see in every Revolution Eclipse or great Conjunction how these places and significators are disposed and how aspected by the Malevolents and judge the continuation or subversion of their Government according as you see occasion If your Hylech or Giver of Life be afflicted judge the evil according to the strength of the afflicting Planet to fall on the person or persons of the Rulers or touching their lives if the Almuten of the mid-heaven upon their Regal power and so contrariwise if they be assisted and fortunately beheld or come to the places of the Fortunes or the Fortunes fall in any of their places in any Revolution Eclipse or great Conjunction judge the contrary still remember the good or evil doth depend on the power of the Benevolent or Malevolent Planets for if much afflicted much evil is to be expected and so on the contrary as you have already been taught If any of the aforesaid places or significators fall in the place of any Eclipse or great Conjunction judge the mischief threatned to happen according to the signification of the Eclipse or Planets so in Conjunction warily judging according to the nature of the Houses wherein they are in the Scheme of the Eclipse or Conjunction and the signification of their own nature and the nature of the Houses which they rule and are located in at the time of the Kings Coronation or Election This you shall more fully understand in the delivering the rules of this Art touching the Judgement of Eclipses and great Conjunctions at the latter end of this Treatise I utterly for my own part Refuse to follow the rules of the Ancients touching their giving a year to every sign betwixt the Planet afflicting and afflicted for the judging the time of the alteration of any Government and the like for that they stand not with much reason or are they built on any strong foundation so as to stand unquestionable a little experience and observation will soon manifest unto thee the truth hereof for touching the just time when any such accident shall happen I conceive ought rather and that with a great deal of more reason to be left to the good pleasure and will of the Most High who is the great orderer and disposer of all the Causes in Nature and will according to his own good time effect what is most agreeable unto his Divine will Wherefore let it suffice to know by the iuclinations of those Glorious Bodies the alterations and durabilities of sublunary things without enquiring how or when it will be performed if thou findest at the beginning of any Government or State the Angles of Heaven fixed the Lords thereof well disposed especially of the Ascendent and mid-heaven and free from the malevolent presence and Configurations of the Infortunes and essentially dignified and aspected by the adjuvant Planets thou mayst from hence conclude the firmness and permanency of the Rule or Government then set up but if thou findest these places and significators contrariwise afflicted moveable and weak judge the contrary thereunto If Saturn be then Lord of the Ascendent and essentially well dignified and altogether free from the affliction of the Malevolents and Angular say that the Kingdom State Rule or Government then began shall flourish and continue unchangeable 465 years being the greatest years of Saturn and if he be not altogether so well placed but free from all impediment and in a succedent House the Government or Rule then setled shall continue firm and unaltered 57 years being his greater years if he be significator and essentially dignified and free from all impediment aforesaid and in a Cadent House say it shall continue in the condition it first was in 43 years and a half being his mean years but if he be but thus meanly placed and but moderately dignified judge the continuance thereof to be but 30 years which are his least years and so accordingly judge of all the other Planets when they are significators and well placed and dignified as you have heard of Saturn their greatest greater mean and least years being all recorded in our Introduction to the Judgement of the STARS where the nature and significations of the Planets are delivered c. CHAP. III. Shewing the state and condition
other in a common one you are according to discretion to make commixture of moneths and years one in a common sign and the other in a movable make commixture of moneths and weeks or weeks and days as you see reason but if by other testimonies thou findest that the evil shall not continue after that Year wherein your Revolution was made although the Conjunction or Aspect be in or from fixed signs yet shalt thou give but moneths then for every degree they want of the perfect Conjunction or Aspect Note also that if the Conjunction or Aspect be by common signs and thou thereby judgest moneths and the evil still continue longer then thy time prefixed then shalt thou convert them into Years So likewise if thou didst judge days or weeks thy significators being in movable signs and the evil still continue after those weeks or days be expired then art thou to say the continuation thereof will be so many moneths or years c. for as Ptolomy in his Centilo 1. saith A te à scientia for though thou hast the art to help thee yet thou art not wholly to lay aside discretion and reason But if any Planet by his body or aspect doth frustrate the Conjunction or Aspect of Saturn then shall not the evil happen in the places subject to the Planet in exaltation but to those places ruled by the Planet so frustrating but if there be no frustration by neither the interposition of the body or aspect of any Planet but that Saturn do come by his beams to touch the beams of the Planet so in exaltation the evil by him threatned shall assuredly happen in those Regions and Places subject to his Dominion c. Of Mars in aspect or Conjunction with any Planet in exaltation Also if any Planet in exaltation in any Annual Revolution be beheld of Mars as you heard of Saturn by a Square or Opposition or else afflicting any Planet by his bodily Conjunction he shall denote very much evil detriment and dammage to the people under his jurisdiction that is in exaltation but if the Planet so exalted be afflicted by Square or Opposition it will be the more grievous by reason the nature of Mars is to cause quarrels dissentions wars bloodshed and thefts which will then be incident to those parts as touching the durability of the time you are to judge thereof according to the nature of the signs your significators are in as you have heard of Saturn whether they be movable fixed or common c. Consider also the position of the Sun and Moon and see how in every Revolution they are placed and in Conjunction or Aspect with any Planet for if either of them be in any Configuration with any Planet in the whole Heavens they shall be joyned in signification therewith and note that if the Moon be lately separated from any Planet according to the nature thereof and the place of Heaven he is located and hath dominion in mayst thou judge of what hath lately happened but if he be applying to any thereby mayst thou know what is immediatly to happen c. CHAP. II. Of the Significations of the Planets and Dragons Head and Tail as also Blazing-Stars when they are in any Revolution exalted one above another UNless I here remove a seeming obstruction or stumbling block perhaps some mistakes or errours might arise much to the dammage and puzzeling of the younger Student which is this In the foregoing Chapter you have heard the significations of the Planets especially the Superiour when in any Revolution they are in the point of their proper exaltations but in this Chapter when we speak of their being exalted one above the other we mean as to their places in the Heavens at the time of the Sun his ingress into Aries for he or she that is nearest to the Cuspe of the mid-heaven or tenth house is the Planet most elevated or exalted and shall have signification as followeth yet note that it is not meant barely by the position of one above the other at that time but when any two are in Conjunction or other Configuration and elevated the one above the other at that time then I say shall their significations be as is here expressed Contrary to the Ancients who begin in this matter with Venus I shall as all along I have done begin with Saturn and so give you their significations still in order as they are placed in the Heavens as Saturn being in Conjunction Square or Opposition with any Planet the Dragons Head and Tail or Blazing Star and exalted above them we shall begin thus Saturn exalted above Jupiter and then above Mars and afterwards above the Sun and so forwards and not as the Ancients have done who set down his significations as he is exalted above the Moon first then above Iupiter then Mars then Dragons Head Dragons Tail Blazing-Star and lastly Venus omitting his significations when in any Configuration of Mercury or the Sun and exalted above them which defect as in this so in the signification of the other Planets I shall endeavour to supply for in the significations of Venus they have omitted Iupiter and Dragons Head and a Blazing-Star in the significations of Iupiter the Sun in the significations of Mars the Sun and Venus of Mercury the Sun also of the Dragons Head Iupiter and Mars c. If you find not my opinion and judgement herein sufficiently grounded on reason you may follow what other you can find delivered unto you which may be more pleasing and agreeable to thy fancy or remain ignorant as the Ancients have left thee but to our business Saturn in any Scheam at the time of any Revolution of the years of the World Saturn exalted above any of the Planets Dragons Head Dragons Tayl or Blâ—z Star Jupiter Ecclipse or great Conjunction or at the time of the appearance of any Comet or Blazing-Star or at the time of any Opposition of the Superiours or any other remarkable or considerable face of the Heavens in Conjunction Square or Opposition or any other Aspect of Jupiter and at that time elevated above the Body of Jupiter in the figure of the Heavens Great and Noble men shall be slain if he be exalted above Mars Mars The Sun he signifies good and better success if above the Sun when in any of the aforesaid Configurations with him Let those Kings and such as are in high or chief Authority in those Regions subject to the sign the Sun then is in look for much trouble and sorrow as also Treacheries and Treasons If he be exalted above Venus Venus men shall delight in Pictures Ornaments and neatness and addict themselves to their Trades and Occupations and delight themselves therein Mercury above Mercury they will delight in Arts and Sciences especially such as are Ingenuous above the Moon Luna men shall be clownish and ill-behaved Above Dragons Head Great and Noble-men shall have good

Blazing Star but if above Dragons Tayl this felicity shall happen to the Commons And if he be exalted above any Blazing Star when he is in any Configuration therewith men shall generally suffer poverty penury and want anxiety and much misery Jupiter exalted above Saturn Mars Sol. Venus Mercury If Jupier be eaxlted above Saturn when in any Configuration with him he signifies much lamentation weeping howling grief trouble and sadness Above Mars there shall happen much grief and trouble to Men also dammage and loss if above the Sun above Venus Womens affairs and business shall succeed well and prosperously and if above Mercury the Kings Officers shall be increased and they shall have honor Luna Dragons Head profit gain and praise above the Moon Noble and Great men shall increase and abound in honor prosperity and success Above the Dragons Head he denotes all good success and fortune Dragons Tayl. Blazing Star if above the Dragons Tayl depopulations and destruction of houses and buildings above a Blazing Star it signifies that Noble men and such as are in great esteem shall be slain Mars exalted above Saturn Jupiter Sol. Venus Mercury When Mars is exalted above Saturn and in any configuration with him he doth not signifie much hurt or mischief Above Jupiter great men shall agree to take arms and kill one an other Above the Sun Kings and Rulers will go neer to be slain treacherously Above Venus men shall not care much for pleasures neither will women soon conceive with Child Above Mercury quarrels slaughters and discords are signified Luna Dragons Head And above the Moon Earth-quakes and those very violent Above Dragons Head he denotes good success and prosperity and honour to Great and Noble men Dragons Tayl. Above Dragons Tayl there shall happen Combustions troubles and inconveniencies to Men concerning Plants and Vegetables And if he be exalted above a Blazing Star Blazing Star there will happen many slaughters amongst men and they shall delight to sway and bear Arms. The Sun is of that nature and quality The Sun above any of the â—lanets Drag H c. Venus exalted above Saturn Jupiter Mars that by his beams any Planet is afflicted wherefore when he is exalted so above any Planet he is the significator of much evill and mischief excepting Mercury strong and fortified Venus being exalted above Saturn Men shall be perplexed with much grief and trouble Above Jupiter Great and Noble men shall be in a prosperous and happy condition and all things shall succeed well with them Above Mars Women shall willingly use the Art of Generation and soon Conceive and Men shall be troubled in their stomachs through Surfeits and eating too much Above the Sun Sol.

take notice that I scorn to be guilty of any such mercenary practises as much as you scorn to be termed or accounted schismatical or Jesuitical and that I am as free and innocent from those abuses of the Art as you are guilty of abusing me by this wrong accusation being blinded with errour and deluded by the aspersions and lying abuses of that unworthy Rufus Rolanduâ— fellow and so in danger to shipwrack your discretion and judgement on the rock of Tradition which if guided by Reason would have been safe which I would have all men study to obtain and then I question not but that they will soon finde that I abhor longer to live then I should degenerate from my self Wherfore with this argument I shall conclude Who so imputeth folly or madness to any man for his tenets which he cannot refute that doth gainsay them doth thereby abundantly prove himself to be a malignant cavilling fool and his arguings frivolous But Thomas Gataker imputes folly to William Ramesey for the allegation aforesad with his brother Rufus yet can not refute what they gainsay Ergo Die ♄ 11 o.
