A47491	The marrow of astrology in two books : wherein is contained the natures of the signes and planets, with their several governing angels, according to their respective hierarchies : also philosophical reasons for takeing the planets antiscions, and part of fortune, with the method of directions according to the Ægyptians and Chaldeans, with several other useful examples : also a new table of houses, exactly calculated for the latitude of London, with tables of the mundane aspects, and all that is requisite, for the rectifying and directing nativities, according to the true intent and meaning of Ptolomy : wherein is discovered the errors of Argol, Regiomontanus, and most of our modern authors, in several examples, never before done in English / by Richard Kirby and John Bishop ...

THis is a Table of the ☽ s lat for every other degree of her distance from the ☊ or ☋ the Use is thus to find the ☽ s lat you are to substract the ☽ s place in Signs dg and min. from the ☊ or if the ☊ be in less Signs and dg then the ☽ you must sub ☊ from ☽ for it is one and the same thing but if you are minded to sub the ☊ from the ☽ and the ☽ be in fewer Signs and dg then the ☊ you are to add the Circle that is 12 Signs but use which you please it is all one and comes to the same thing and although this Table is made but to every other dg yet we suppose the Work may be true enough but those that please may equate for every dg but this we think to be as good as any Table whatsoever Example IF the ☊ be in ♍ 13dg that is 5 Signs 13dg and the ☽ in ♋ 5dg that is 3 Signs 5dg now by sub the ☽ from the ☊ there will remain 2 Signs 8dg with which I enter with 2 Signs at the top and 8dg in the left hand Collumn and in the Angle of meeting I find 4dg 38m which is the ☽ s lat and is South because the ☽ last seperated from the ☋ but if it had last separated from the ☊ the lat had been North this Method you must-always observe in the ☽ s Lattitude Next concerning the 12 Houses and their Significators Of the first House THis House hath signification of the true Description of the Natives body as to form and Stature with the Temperature and qualities of the Mind it is called the first House or East Angle from whence is Judged the begining of every Enterprise it is the first Cardinal House and hath for its Triplicity the 5th and 9th which behold each other by △ Aspect in World where is made this Rational division of the Houses from whenc the true mundane aspects do proceed this is the first and chiefest aphetical place for any of the givers of Life to be placed in it is in ⚹ to the 11th and 3d. Houses and in □ to the 10ht and 4th so that when it is Directed to the body or opposition of any Planet there the M. C. comes to the □ the Asc is sometimes giver of Life in a Nativity which when it is the evill Directions thereof to the Malificks signifies great Sicknesses and by being Directed to the Anaretta it signifies Death and this is to be observed only when the Asc is giver of Life and not else but we know it is and hath been the opinion of all our Modern Authors to say that the ☉ or ☽ may be givers of Life and the Asc being directed to the bad Aspects of the maleficks denotes sickness nay say they and most commonly Death which is the most senseless argument in the World to think that one should be giver of Life and a nother to give Diseases and it may be a third to kill which we canot a llow of for whatsoever is giver of Life that same is most Certainly to be directed for sickness and Death but to this some will say we must not be too severe in Judging upon the giver of Life and that the Asc being directed to a bad Aspect of the Infortunes al though it be not giver of Life yet it shall have Power to kill this makes Ptolomy's Doctrin void concerning the giver of Life who saith no ill direction thereto shall kill if it be not giver of Life and therefore there shall be but one certain giver of Life which our late Authors cannot make corrospond which must make agreat confusion in Art which Ptolomy never taught they say likewise we are to respect the Principal giver of Life and secondly the Ascen and when either of them come to any bad direction it shall have power to kill but we one the contrary say that whosoever shall have powe of giveing Life by his position shall keep and preserve the Life by his force and strength and no other shall be able to destroy it viz. If the ☉ be giver of Life whether the Asc ☽ or part of ♁ shall have any power by being directed to bad Aspects to kill understand the same by the ☽ Asc or ♁ when any of them are givers of Life therefore all Diseases in general or particular are taken from the giver of Life and none else as shall be further Examplyfied in its Proper place some again will admit of several givers of Life and say that those Nativites who have most givers of Life are the most fortunate and receive the most power for the prolonging of Life but is contrary to sence or reason for where there is more gives of life then one there is more evil directions of them to the evil rayes of evil planets and so consequently more evil signified thereby for that Nativity must needs be of a more inferiour condition and of a shorter life that shall have more givers of Life then one sometimes they will direct the Asc

which is the difference between R. A. of the ☽ and the R. A. of the M. C. the Calculation is thus the log logar of 34dg 45m co Ar. is 7628 the log logar of 16dg the pole of the 9th house is 5740 the log logar of 11dg 26m the difference of R. A. is 7200 which added gives the log logar of 5dg 16m 10568 which is the ☽ s pole of position Now because it is but 5dg 16m I only take 5de but if the m. had exceeded 30 I would have taken 6dg now because the ☽ is in the descending part of Heaven I take her opposite place under the pole of 5dg likewise with her contrary Lat. where I find her obl Asc to be 328dg 56m obl asc of 21dg of ♓ with 4de 21m South lat is 354de 9m from which the obl asc of the ☽ being sub leaves 25dg 13m for the Arch of direction which being equated points out the true time of his Death when ♃ came to the 10th house he was made King but now some will object you say the ☽ was giver of Life and ♄ was Annareta pray why did not the ☽ to the ☍ of ♄ kill to that I answer for Divers Reasons first when the ☽ came to the ☍ of ♄ she had great North lat above 4dg and ♄ had almost dg South lat so that when she came to the opposition she was so far out of the rays of ♄ by her lat that there was not power to kill nay scarcely to do any hurt secondly it fell in the terms of ♀ thirdly it was succeeded by her Mundane △ more of this direction I have spoken in the 9th section foregoing where this is exactly explained that the like may be performed upon any Nativity c. Now in taking the secondary direction for the 24th Year I take 24days from the Birth and for 6 Months I take 12h and for 11days I take 40m Gustavus Adolphus King of Sweedland his Nativity Gustavus Adolphus King of Sweedland Born Decem. 19th at 7h 42m A.

way of working it also although that was over before this came up now the Converse is thus wrought first take ♄ s seminoct Arch then his distance from the 4th House and say if his seminoct Arch give his distance from the 4th House what shall the semid Arch of ☉ give I find it gives 29d 38m which added to his distance from the M. C. 17d 47m it makes 47d 25m for the Arch of Direction I only mention this to shew the Method of Converse as well as direct Directions but some will say you make ♄ the killing Planet pray why did not the ☉ to his 8 kill to which I answer because ♄ had great lat and was so far from the Ecliptick that ☉ never touched the sharpness of that Aspect therefore it could do no hurt much less kill which Method must be used in all Directions whether the Significator and Promittor have the same lat if not it must be considered John Columnia His Nativity John Columnia Patriarck of Jerusalem was Born 1612.

THis Native dyed at 2Years and 8Months of Age of Convultions and Gripes and I think no Argolian can give the least reason for its Death at that time unless they direct the ☽ to the □ of ♂ which cannot Kill for the ☽ is not giver of Life neither is ♂ annareta but if he were the ☽ considering her Lat. is past the □ of ♂ above a deg at Birth therefore that direction can hold no Water to plead for them now according to Ptlolmy's Rule the Asc is giver of Life which at the time of Death is directed to the □ of ♄ thus the R. A. of the M. C. is 152dg 6m the R A of ♄ is 154dg 38m from whence sub the R A of the M C and there remains 2dg 32m for the arch of direction for when the M C came to his body then the ascen came to his □ and observe that the M C and ascen are always directed to aspects in the World and to none in the Zodiack nor to any Converse why this Childs distemper should be Convultions Gripes and Looseness is plain from ♄ s position in ♍ and by being in Parallel Declination of ♀ and she being in ♏ very Evily placed which could signify no Less John Bishop His Nativity John Bishop the Author's Son Born Sep. ber the 7th 1681. at 5h 56m P.
