a general Significator of the adtions of a mans life, is in □ to

Sign, in □ to 5 in ^ a melancholly Sign: Hence his tempera-
ture is generally Chollerick-Melancholly, Choller being the Pa-
rent of Palfion and Patron of Courage, and Melancholly tlie
Author of fludy, gravity, and difcretion.
•«i afcending and ^ in ? gives him fomething more than a
middle llaturc, fat andEelhy, which is the more increafed by
the 5 afpedl to and he being alio in fo great a Reception
with Marsy all his Significators ftrong, and in adtive parts of
Heaven, gives a ftrong able body, not eaEly tired, elpecially in
the hardfliip of War.
C 14)
Of the Qualities of the Mind,
By the ^alities of the Mind I mean c:he effluviums of the
fenfitive Appetite and rational Soul, from the firll of
which are produced thofe two natural Principles of Lull and
Anger, Love and Hate, and all other fenfible Effefls of the
fenfitive Appetite, to which is joined the Rational Soul, the
very ipfa hominis forma. Informans., by which we are diftinguiffl-
ed from bruits, and is thought by fome to have an intrinfick
Plaftick virtue to nourilh the Embrio in the Womb.
From this rational Soul proceeds two Properties', firfl: the
Intclleft, which is the eye of the foul, and hath the fenfes for
its Organs, according to the old Adage, nihil intelleElu qmd mn
prius fait in fenfa : but it differs from the fenfes in this •, the fenlc
is employed about materials and fingulars, the other about im-
materials and univerfals •, all the fpecies of things it referves
to it felf, and that is called memory, whofe twin-brother is
judgment, which is either fpeeulative or praftical: the firft con-
liders things as they are things, the other as they are good or
evil. Secondly, the Will, which is neither meerly paffive nor
meerly adive, but is agitated either by'Objed or Thought-, and
it hath alfo a kind of a blind power, for it defires nothing un-
lefs it be propofed to it by the Intelled i hence that faying
I^noti nulla cnpido. The Operations and Effluviums of this fenh-
tive and rational Soul, with its Faculties and Properties, is call-
ed in Englilh the Mind, and is aperfedComprifal of the whole
Man, or rather the thefaurw anima^ colleding beams and rays
from all parts of the fenfe and foul, and doth either improve
them by Vertue, or mif-improve thera by Vice, according to
the Pofition of the Luminaries with the benefick or malefick
Stars in the Radix or Nativity, and is our next bufinefs to con-
lider.
Mercury in in □ to ^ gives him a fharp piercing underftand-
ing, yet fometliing rafli fometimes in his undertakings \ it in-
dines
■?
C's)
dines him to all manner of praftical ingenuity and politick de-
figns, elpecially in War: the Sun cafting a to his Horolcope,
makes him perform all his Adtions with Greatnefs and Princely
Glory, futable to the Qualities of his Birth ^ the D in Conjun-
dlion with and the O within orbs of the of affords
him divers admirable Qualifications, and fo lofty a fpirit, that
he fcorns to trample upon a Conquered Enemy.
Of the Giver of Life.
TH E Sun mufl be admitted Giver of Life in this Nativity,
as being in the only Aphetical place proper to him, the
Birth being Diurnal, and Mercury by the fame Rule muft be
t\\t ^Ichocodoriy or Giver of Years, which in this Nativity and
Natives life will be about forty eight: though he will live Ion-
ger, as you may read hereafter.
The fecond Heufe.
JVpiter Lord of the fecond, in fo forcible a Reception with
Mars in the fecond, is able of it felf to give the Native a
moft admirable Fortune-, but befides this, he hath the D in
Conjundtion with 2, and both cafting their >jc to the part of
Fortune, and the Sun in the tenth in Jfc to yp, all which are
great Arguments of advancement in Richesand as Mars the
Lord of the Afcendant is in the lecond, fo it fhews the Native
ftiall procure it by his own endeavour; yet as the Moon is in
^ to T? and □ of 3?, and Saturn alfo in fquare toand 5 in □
to c in the fecond, fo he will have at fome times occafion to be
fenfible of the want of Money, though his Birth hath provided
him lecurity from the long continuance of fuch a want.
Of the third Houfe.
SAturn in the third Houfe, and Lord of the fame alfo, fhews
the Native hath not many Brethren and Sifters, however
Saturn
WJlMMMr
Saturn may fliew a Brother or two, he being ftrong there in a
Mafculine Sign, and he a Mafculine Planet i but for Sifters I can-
not judge any.
Of the Fourth Houfe.
SAturn, Lord of the Fourth Houfe, muftbe the fignification
of the Natives Fathers, who being in □ to and <? to the
2) and 2,fhews the troubles that he under-went both publick and
private, in Body and Mind, fo long before he dyed, which was
ia Aprif 1643. Saturn in □ tofrom fixed figns, may very well
denote long Chronical Difeafes, and the ^ of J Lady of the
Eighth from the Fourth, Ihews the expiration thereby •, the
truth is, he dyed after he hadlingred five years under thofe mif
fortunes, according to this diftance of Saturn from the to the
Moon and Venus.
Of the Fifth Houfe.
THis Houfe takes notice of the Natives Children in Mar-
riage •, and they are perfonated by Aries upon the Fifth,
and^^^j Lord thereof in in Reception with Jupiter in m, a
fruitful fign, which Ihews the polfibility of his having Children^
yet becaufe Fenus^ the Lady of the Eleventh, the Fifth from the
Seventh, and the Moon are in Xw, a barren Sign, and both in
fquare to Jupiterand oppofition to Saturn, fo it Ihews him to
have but few, and of thofefome fhall dye alfo, becaufe
Lord of the fifth, is in □ to 5 Lord of the fourth from the fifth,
and Fenus, Lady of the fifth from the feventh,is in <? to Saturn.
The Judgment belonging to the Sixth houfe.
MArs Lord of the fixth Houfe, in ?■ a fiery fign in fquare to
Mercury^ who is ftrong in nt, feems to threaten hi*i
with hot Chollerick Diftempers, which tend to a Phrenfie, a
Delirium, or depravation of fenfe; butthefe Difeafes will be of
no
C'7-)
no long continuance, becaufe Mars and Mercury are both in com-
mon Signs, and in good Hoiifes of Heaven; But what Difeafes
come from the Moon and Saturn will be durable and hard to
be cured, and fuch are the Stone, Gravelinthe Kidneys, crude
Humours, and perhaps the Gout *, and thefe will happen under
bad Diredions, and bad Revolutions, &c. But Mars Lord of the
Afcendant llrong, and the Afcendant it felf free from all ma-
lignant Rays, will give him a llrong vigorous body, by which
means he will baffle Difeafes by ftrength, exercife and courage,
until age and ill Diredions impair Nature, which will happen
before he expires, and not long neither, according to Bonal.
7SS- at fi planeta qui habet Jignificare Jnfirmtates fuerit occidenta-
lis , erunt in ultima medietate vita ejus^ that if the Planet which
lignifies Difeafes were Occidental, they IhaU happen in the laft
part of his life.
The Judgment belonging to the Seventh Houfe.
WHen i conlidered Venw Lady of the fevcnth in Con-
jundion with the Moon in Leo, a barren Sign, in
to b who always forbids Marriage, and I? in ^ a
barren Sign in □ to d Lord of the Afcendant, I did wonder
that this Native fhould marry fo foon, and with lb little diffi-
culty as he did: yet when I obferved Jupiter in a fruitful Sign, in
reception with Mars Lord of the Horofcope, and in Afped
with the Moon and $ although a fquare, it was a rational ar-
gument for the loon performance of this matterand the Moon
alfo who hath Dignities in the feventh is in Conjundion with
Ventti Lady of the fame, and a general fignificator of Marri-
age alio $ hence this is fufficient to prove that he fhould marry
once, and that early too ; according to the falling of thofe mar-
rying Diredions, the truth is, this Native did marry MatU
Tirefia d"* jiuftria, tiie Infanta of Spain, in the year 1660.
The Natives Enemies are fignified by plemts in Conjundion with
the Moon near the prafepe & jifelU, in Oppofition of Saturn
and P to Jupiter, and therefore for his publick Enemies a-
G broad
(i8)
broad, the Opporition of h infatuates them, and poflefTeth
them with many and ftrange fears, fo that they are but like a
Lamb in a Lyons skin, having the Name, but not the real Na-
ture of Enemies.
Of the Judgment of the Eighth Houfe.
1 Shall omit to Eleft the Lord of death Cabaliftically, and
endeavour to fatisfie my Reader with this, that when the
Moon comes to the Body of 5 and fquare of Mars-^ that is a-
bout 1681, or 1682, Ht videoi^ he will be in danger of Poylbn
and Treachery •, but becaufe bis Alchocoden doth not fo foon
expire, I am of the opinion he will live glorioufly till the Sun,
who is Hilea or Giver of life, comes by direftion to the Iquare
of Saturn in Libra, at which time he will have many troubles^
and that will be when he is fifty years compleat, and two hun-.
dred and feventecn days, when it begins to work', and at that
time he hath T? upon his Radical Horofcope, and Mars upon
the Radical place of the Moon, which will be about March
and jipril in the year 1689, and alfo threaten fome danger to
his life.
That his death will be attended with violence, feems to ap-
pear from Mars in a violent Sign in fquare to Mercury^ Lord of
the eighth, and to the Sun alfo applyingand the Moon accor-
ding to her Longitude is with violent Stars in Oppofition to So-
turn', and laftly, the Moon and fupiter in □ Iquare from violent
parts of Heaven, and therefore God preferve this great Prince
from poyfon, falls, or wounds.
^Of the Ninth Houfe^
II will be needlefs to take notice of the Religion of this II-
luftrious Prince, but leave that as an exercife to the in-
ternal adtions of Faith*
The

Thefe are the Dircdions that will influence the Fate of this
Revolution) which I am of opinion will not prove fatal, and
that for thefe Reafons; Firft Saturn is Lord of no malignant
Houfe: and fecondly, his fquare falls within the Rays of Juft-
tery and he ftrong: Thirdly, the D is within the good Beams
of FemUy that is her >|c juft coming up; Hence I am induced to
believe, that Saturn hath not force and ill-will enough to kill at
this time. Butin theRevolutional Figure I confefs that Lord
of the Radical Horofcope, and partly of this, is combuft in the

T? the Lord of the Horofcope is in exaltation, he will indubi-
tably furvive all for although the □ of Saturn is a malignant
dlredion, yet according to that Aphorifm of Hermes, his ma-
lignity is meliorated by the good Beams of Jupiter, which is
able to fave, although he were Lord of the Eighth Houfe : 3? fol-

Jupiter and Venus joined to the Moon Ihew health and found-
nefs of body. And that thole Planets afflided in the Eighth
Houfe doth rather Ihew fome vexation and trouble to happen
to the Native about his Conqueft in Flanders, or his Children,
or his Wifes Dowry, or perhaps all; and not to touch his life,
as fome I am lure would judge from fuch a Polition and Dire-
dion ; and this is the rather confirmed to me, becaufe ^ is
ftrong in the Seventh, he the only Planet angular and in Re-
ception with the Sun.
But perhaps fome may fay he hath a bad profedional Figure
for this year, he now having t in his Horofcope (and there-
fore the Radical place ) and the Radical place of ^ cul-
minant, in his Medium CaeU, which I own to be an unhappy Po-
fition, and to carry a fufflcient tendency of ill, were there other
fequel Caufes for the fame-, but Profedions arc rather Demon-
ftrations of the ElFeds of Diredions, than particular Caufes of
any fuch things themfelves j but I leave thofe things to thofe
who are more curious.
I do think this Native may in a courfe of Nature live till
the Sun, who is Giver of life, comes to the □ of Venus, who
is Lady of the feventh Houfe in the Radix and to the fquare
of
(99l
©f the Moon, who hath Dignities in that Houfc alio, and at
the fame time the Afcendant comes to the fquare of Mercn-
ry^ Lord of his Eighth Houfe, and to the body of Mars al-
K), without latitude, as may be feen by the Table of Di-
reftions preceeding j and this will happen about the fifty
fourth or fifty fifth year of his age- And thus much for this
Nativity.

This young Prince having had fo few Accidents, that we have
not many to prove the Nativity by i and therefore the main ac-
cident that I do principally truft to, is the Horofcope to the
Iquare of Jufiter in Capricorn, a place wTiich Jnfiter perfedly
hates: and about the fame time the Sun to the body of Saturn in
Scorpio, which Diredions may very well fuit to the Accident of
1678, which was a Quartan Ague, at which time the Worihip-
ful Sir Robert Talbot^ Knight, and Dodor of Phyfick, was fcnt
for by his Majefty of France to cure him, which he accordingly
did immediately after his arrival there: how thefe Diredions
fuit to the time, you may obferve by the following Operations.

There have been more Diredions in force, but becaufe I can-
not be fo happy as to hear of the Accident attending them, I
(hall forbear their Operations, and give the Reader an account
when they happened, that others when they know them may
apply them to their proper Caufes and Effcds; aged about fe-
ven years, he had the Sundireded to the body of Mercury^ which
Diredion could not chufe but be dangerous to his life.
Aged about 12 or 13, he had his Horofcope to the of Mars
cum Lat. this could give no durable difeafe, becaufe it was with-
in the Rays of the ^ of Saturn^ and b and $ were in A at his
birth, yet it would give Ibme flight Feaver, drc.
But when he Ihall be aged 21 years, his Sun comes by Diredi-
on to the Iquare of the Moon in Sagitary •, this will be a dan-
gerous Diredion, and will give either the fmall Pox, or a Fea-
ver, or both.
Aged near 25, his Horofcope comes to the O of the Sun in
a place the Sun hates, this is ufually a troublefome dange-
rous diredion, and doth as well concern the honour as the life of
the Native, and his Father. ' E But
(3+)
But feeing Di reft Ions work according to the Quality of the
perfons paflive in their Ef^fts, and becaufe I am not hire that
this Horofcope is certainly true (although I dare be confident
it is not far off from the true one) I will omit all other parti-
culars of this nature, and come to fpeak to things more ge-
neral.
In this Nativity the Sun is Giver of Life, and Mars Giver of
Years, from whence we may judge that this Native may live to
a confiderable age: and as Mars cafteth his Trine to SatHrtjj
Lord of the Afcendant, and the Sun caitcth his to the Degree ^
afcending, he may be generally very healthful ^ to which we
may add the A of the Sun and Moon, Saturn, Loxdi of his fe-
cond, in A to Mars in the feventh, and the Sun, Lord of the
eighth, in Trine to the Moon in the fecond, and ? who hath
Dignities in the eighth, is likewife in the tenth Houfe, fhew
him to advance his Fortune by Marriage, and that he may pro-
bably marry thrice, if not four times, becaufe the Me on. Lady
of the feventh, is in X, the Dignities of Ventu a fruitful Sign,and
S in the feventh in 2?, a fruitful Sign, and the Sun and Saturn
Lord of the Afcendant in m in the tenth Houfe, the prime angle
of the Figure, and a fruitful Sign alfo. It is generally reported,
that this Native is of a very morofe nature, which is well ilgni-
fied by $, who hath Dignities in the Horofcope in □ to 3?, the
Author of Clemency and good Nature, and the Moon in □ to
Saturn,Lord of the Afcendant, may very aptly fignifiethe fame,
cfpecially if we confider the fixed Stars that the Sun is with, and
^ the general fignificator of the mind is with the like fixed Stars,
and combuft of the Sun, and in Afpeft neither to 3? nor ?.
That his death will be natural, is vifible by the Moons A to
the Sun and 3?, and S his A to T? Lord of the Afcendant, and
that he will dye of a Dropfical or a Hypochondriacal Diftemper,
.becaufe ^ Lord of the fixth and eighth is in Scorpio combuft, and
Saturn Lord of the Afcendant, and the Moon in watery Signs.
The Sun in the tenth (hews he will be famous and honourable
at fometimes, and that in his own Country too> for his Con-
quefts
C35)
quefts will not be eminent abroad, although he will have an
afpiring undertaking fpirit, and aiming at great things.
But Saturn in the tenth (although Lord of the Horofcope^ in
□ to the Moon in the fecond, will in the latter part of his life
give him fome unhappy Accident and Cataftrophe to his Ho-
nour i and this is confirmed by $ Lord of the tenth in the fe-
venth, in □ to :?• in the ninth: why may not the Clergy oppofe
his honour and greatnefs, or fome Religious War begin agaiii
in France^ for Fenus Lady of the ninth is in Reception with
3?, and he his real Enemy.
