TO THE

Courteous Reader,
THedivineand laudable Science ob
Aftrology , is a Learning that
teaches by the Natures, Motions,
Configurations , Signifkatiens^,
and Influences. of the Heavens and Stars
therein , how to judge of future Gontin^
gcncics, or predict natural Events; the
word Aftrologyis derived. fioin u^ira
and Logos, which is as much as to fay the
Speech, reatoning or language of the

the Moon feems to be as much the Foun-

apparent by the Tydes, which conftantly
attend her motion \ and by all forts of
Shell-Filh, and the eyes of Gats, which arc
all fuller and bigger at the Full-Moon, then
they are at the Change or New- Moon;
gain, it is very obfervable, that if a man

in a Moon-light night, how Ihe befots
him, and fills him with dulnefs and drowfi-
nefs: but befides thofe palpable ads of
the Sun and Moon , they have their fecrec

Planets and Stars •, for though heat is the
NurfeofLife, and moifture an hand-maid
to it , yet it is not the mere heat which
giveth life, nor the mere moifture that
helpeth to live; for if fo, then might
man make living Creatures artificially, but
this we fee i&pall his skill to do; the heat
may hatch the eggs, but all the art of man
cannor make an egg that can be hatched :

things to pafs without means, is all one as
to produce them without matter, it being
no more but to fay, let there be men, let
there be all other living creatures, and let
there be Herbs, Seeds and Flowers^ and,
as the word fays, they come to pafs; but
we know there was never above one Crea-
tion,for the Scripture tells vs^that on the fe-
ventb day God ended his JVo/kj) which he had
made., and he refied on the feventh day from aU
his veorkj) which he had made., Gen. 2. 2. And
ever fmce that, all things have come to
pafs by nature, and thereforemuftthere
be Ibme kind of natural means for the pro-
duflion thereof: and now if with means
thefe things come to pafs, it is either by
earthly means alone,or by the help of fbme
Super-Terreftrial Powers alfo aiding and
aiTifting, that they come to pals: but by
earthly means alone it is plain they cannot
come to pals, for it is not either Fire, Air,
Earth, or Water, or all together, that can
of themfelves produce or maintain life to
any creature, or bellow that goodly fweet
favour unto the Rofc; there muft therefore
be for certain feme other Superiour Power

God is as well able to govern and maintain
all things without means, as he was at firfl
to conftitute and create the frame of na-
tore V but fuch is his pkafurejtbat he does
work by means ^ and not immediately in all
things: & therefore though it be the hand
of God that doth all thefe things,yet is not
that hand of God put to by any new contri-
ved a(fl,but follows on cour fe in the motion
of nature, even as from the beginning it
was contrived from all Eternity: for the
works of God are known unto him^ from
the be^nning unto the end of the Worldj

a certain Book, caUed Nature, wherein, jdl
the works of God, that weretocometo

they were to follow in order, this Book

of the World, wherein,what by Creation,

The life of the foregoing Table is thus under'
flood.
In the firfl; Column you have the Twelve
Signs, beginning at T, then/a",n,
down to X.
In the next Column to Signs, is written
Houlesof the Planets, under pt ^.d. 2.
n. &c. over againlt cf to the left hand is
T, again 2 "c •, which tells you that T
is the day houfe of ^ , and ^ the night
houfe of 2 •, underftand the like of all
the reft", andthenyou will fee and know
.that every Planet fexcept O and 5) have
two of thofe Signs for their Houfes .* as
bj'viPand^'-, ¥, ¥ and K •, c?, r and
m ;■ o, ^ 2 , ^ and ^; 5, ^ and 'I? *,•
2,2?.
In the third Column you have the Ex-
altations of the Planets, in it and over a-
gainil Y, is o i under him,over againfl
b', you may fee » 3. So the 19 Degree of
is the very Point of the © s Exaltati-
cn, the 3 Degree of b is the 2 s. &c.
yet you muft underftand that the Exalta-
tion of a Planet reaches the whole Sign.
In the fourth Column is Triplicities
written over head , under which againft
T y , is 0 ¥ j 0 under d, and ¥ un-
djsr
del" n. which fliewsthat they rule the fiery
Triplicity, the ® by day, aud V by night .•
So ag-.inll; ^ you find 2 2" i a--
gainlt n , T? ^ and over right
I So in X, d d ; which fignifies that d
rules the watery Triplicity both day and
Bight.
In the next five Columns is contained
5!" the terms of the Planets, the firft 6 Dc-
grees of T is the terms of ¥, from 6 to
J. 14 the terms of 2 , from 14 to 21 the
terms of 2 , from 21 to 26 the terms of
d, and from 26 to 30 are the terms of
lf'; b. So of the reft in order.
''f Every Sign is again divided into three
, equal Parts, called Faces or Decanatcs, fo
^the firft lo Degrees of T is the face of
* ^ d, from loto 20 the face of O, andfrom
® 20 to 3 o the face of 2; obferve the fame
, - in the reft.
Next is the Detriments, as you will
find 2 in T is in her Detriment, d in ^
in his Detriment, g c.
The laft Column tells you the fallsoF
^ the Planets, fb h in t is in his fall, d in
''■f 2o inhis falljC^c.
■ Thus much for the defcription of the
Table, I will now fiiewyou the fignification
of a Planet in any of his or her Efiential
Dignities , that I may make good the
* f word
i
"IS] '
word ufc, to the fa'.I; Obferve then, that
A riarictinhisowii houfe direct, fjgni-
fiesaPerfonof aftrong and healthful con-
ftitution, he is one that will be known in
his Family, and rule over them with good
judgment*, likewife he lives in a very
j.'ieniiful way , or at leaft in a thriving
condition.
A Planet in his Exaltation , denotes a
Perfon of a high majeflical carriage , a
proud lofty difpofirion , high minded ^
tdfuming more than his due, fcorns to
rtoop or buckle to any: in matters of war,
a Planet in his Exaltation is ftronger than
one in his own houfe.
A Planet in his Triplicity, fheweth a
Perfon at the prefent time to be in a pret-
ty good condition, andmodeftly well in-
dued with the Goods and Fortunes of this
World ; not meanly nor very well def-
cended, yet his prefent ftate is commenda-
ble.
A Planet in his term,declares one rather
participating of the temper and Ihape of
thefaid' Planet, than of the Wealth, Pow.
cr or Dignity by him denoted.
A Planet in ids face, and no otherwife
dignified, the Perfon by him denoted is as
it were at the laft Ihift, or as fome fay at
the lahgtfp, not knowing what to do, or
how
[s?I
how to bcflow himfelf; You niay judge
likewife the deplorable ccnc'idon of
things, as v.'eli as what we have faid of a.
Perfon.
The fignifcation of a TUtiet in his Ejfentlal
Debilities.
A Planet in his Detriment, fignlfies one
call out of all good Enjoyments, and that
without hope of rcco\rery: a Perfon that
is his own Enemy , and lives in a dcjedted
condition.
A rianetPeiegrine, fignifies a Perfon to
be a Stranger, or Sojourner in the place
where he is.
A Planet in his fall, denotes a Perfon
averfe to honour , I believe it is becaufe
he hath loll it; for I have more than once
experienced , that when a Planet was fo
-pohtcd, the Perfon by him fignified made
Ship-wrack of his credit*, but it prcnores
^nly a preftnt fubjedion to a misfortune,
which in a liftle.fimeiTiay be vanquiihcd :
In. matters of War, a Planet in ids fall is
weaker than one in his detriment.
A Planet is in his detriment wlicn be is

A 6 is when two Planets are in one-
and the fame Degree and Minate of a
Sign , this is the moll powerful of all the
Afpefts, and is good or bad according to
the nature of the Planets conjoyned.
A * is whefl*-two Planets are diftant
one from each other the fixth part of the
Heavens, which is two Signs, or 6oDe-
grees,and is an Alped of imperfect friend-
Ihip,
A D is when two Planets are diftant
from each other the fourth part of theZo-
diack, which is three Signs or 90 Degrees,
and this Afpcft isof imperfcd Enmity.
A A is when two Planets are the third
part of the Heavens afunder, which isfour
Signs or I zoDegrces, and this Afped is of
perfert love and'fiiendihip.
An# cP is when two Planets are diame*
trically oppofite tp-each-other, viz.. fix
Signs or 180 Degrees, this divideththe
Heavens into two equal parts , and is an
Afpccftof perfe<ftevil-, for being both in
adireftline, and thisdiftanceafunder they
openly oppofc each other. "
The Afpeds go under two Denomiaa-
lions, viz.. partil and platick. A partil
Afpeft is when two Planets be exadtlyfo
many LTegrces and Minutes from one ano-
titer as makeaperfeft Afped, A platick

The Orbs of the Planets are thus under-
ftood, viz.. b 9 Degrees, V 9. Degrees,
d* 8 Degrees, © i-j Degrees, 2 7 De-
grecs, 2 7 Degrees, ^ 12 Degrees.
Thus you lee the Qrhr of h is 9 De-
grees, the; half of which is 4 degr. 30
min. the Orb# of © is-17 Degrees, the
half thereof is 8 Degrees 30 Minutes, this
being added together makes 13 Degrees,
which tells you that when b and © arc
within 13 Degrees of a d-, *, □, A,or

platick Afped: now if they are apply-
ing to the Afped, the good or evil there-
by fignified is not yet come to a perfed
birth» but if they be feperating then it
is over, I mean the heat thereof^ but it
will be v,ifable although in adeclining,con-
dkion,till they are 13 E^grees feparated,
and then it will wholly difappear 3 you

Of the Divifion of the Hedvens into
12 PAftS.
THe whole Globe is firft and prin-
cipally divided into four equal
parts by two great Circles, the Meridian
and Horizon j the Horizon divideth the
Heavens into two HemifphereSjtlie North
and South, called the upper and lower He-
, n i phere.
The Meridian cutteth the Heavens into
two equal parts alfo, Eaft and Weft *,
called the olicnial and occidental parts
thereof. Every
Every one of thefe are again divided
into three ecjual parts more, by Circles of
Pofitioii, which interfeft the Equator, and
do likewife meet in the Points of Sedion
of the grand Meridian with the Hori-:
zon.
Thus are the Heavens equally divided
into 12 Parts, which the Learned have
called Manfions or Houfes.
OrientalHoufes are the 3,2, 1,12,11,
and 10.
Occidental Houfes are the 9,8, 7,6, 5,
and 4.
The !_/?, lothj 7^/7 and ^.th Houfes arc
Angles.
The lithy ^th, 2th and 2d are fucce-

Houfes.
Houfes oppofitcito each other are the i

I I, 6 and 12.
The upper Hemifphere containeth the,

Fourthly , In your Ephemeris for that

polite Houfes place the oppofite Signs, De-
grees and Minutes.
This being done, find by tlieEphcjncris
the places of all the Planets at the day pro-

degr. and min. belefs than the Cufp of the
Houfe , then place him before the Culp
thereof in the other Houle.
You muft likewife find the © and let it

When you would ered a Figure by Ta-
bles of right and oblique Afcentions, you
mufl: firfl: ifeek tlie Sun's place that day in
.your Ephemerides, and repair therewith
to a Table of right Afcentions, and hay-
ing found the right Afcention of the Sun,
fet it in fbme place by it felf; then confi-
der the time of the day you would erect
C 2 your

your Figure for , and by the laft of the
two foregoing Tables turn that time into
degrees and minutes of the the
which being added to the right Afcention
of the Sun, the Sum will be the right Af-
cention of the ioth houfe \ wherewith
enter the Table of right Afcentions again,
and the Sign and nearelt Degree that an-
•fwer thereto place ontheCufp of the loth
houfe; Now if you make your addrefs to
thefirft of the two aforefaid Tables with
. the Latitude of the place you arc in, or
ered the Figure for •, there you will find
the Circle of Pofitionof the luljaud
izth and 2d houfes, agreeing to the Lati-
tude thereof^ which is to be underftood,
that by Tables of oblique Afcentions, for
thofe Latitudes you mull obtain the Cufps
. of them 4 houfes.
Then to go on with your Work add
30 degrees to the right Afcention of the
iOth houfe, and fo you have the oblique
Afcention of the 1 ith houfe, which being
fought in its proper Table you will fold
the Sign and Degree on the Cufp thereof;
Thus by a continual addition of 30 De-
'grees you may obtain the Cufps of the
fix oriental houfes, under their 'feveral
Poles; and for the fix occidental houfes
.them fill up with oppofite Signs and De-
grees.

"The Vfe of the Fable,
In the firft Column to the left hand you
have the days of the week, and the night
following each day: In the other 12 Co-
lumns is contained the 12 hours of the
day or night, and the Planet ruling each
hour, oblervin§ that the Planet which go-
D 2 verns
152]
vcrns the day , ever rules the firfl: hour
thereof, beginning at Sun-rifing ^ then
fucceflively the next in order, as you will
find by the Table.
You mult know thefe Planetary hours
are greater or leller, according to the mo-
tionof the Sun, always dividing the day
and night each into 12 equal Parts •, al-
lowing the time from Sun-rifing to Sun-
letting to be divided into 12 equal Parts
for the day, and from Sim-fetting to Sun-
rifing for the night: So that thofe Plane-
tary hours are never of equal length with
a common hour which is 60 minutes, un-
iefsitbewhen the Sun is in the Equinodti-
al, which is about the tenth of March,
and the thirteenth of September every
year; Ey this Rule we (hall find,that from
the tenth of March to the thirteenth of
September-, a Planetary hour is longer by
■ day than a common hour , and fo much
fhorter than a common hour by night: but
from the thirteenth of September to the
tenth of March, a Planetary hour is (hort-
er than .a common hour by day, and lb
much longer tlian a common hour by
Jiight. .

CHAP. I.
SECTION I.
Teaching hoiV many Schemes ought to be
erected for this furyoje^ and fot
•what time they are to be fet,
I Shall not difpiite the various Opinions
of Authors about this bufineft, but
wholly adhere to the Judgment and Pre-
cepts of Ptohmy , who W^sPr-inceps yifiro-
logorum *, which is that we fhould ered
Schemes for the punctual times that the
Sun enters the four Cardinal Signs,wx,. V,
and y?-., and from thence deduce a
Judgment of that years affairs,.that is thus
ft-orn the Pofition of Heaven at his ingrefs
into y, we are to judge of the Accidents
of the Spring Quarter, which is from the
loth of Mfrch until the nth of June , at
E which
t74]
which time he enters 2d ; from whence
j-idgment muft be drawn of the Summer
Quarter, or untd he enters which is
abo. t the i ^th of Scpemher , from theFi-
gure whereof we are to judge the events
of Au'umn,or theHarveft Quarter; and
laftly, by the Pofitu n of Heaven at his
ingrels into we may know the ftate of
the W'inter Quarter, that is, from the i ith
of December until he enters T again.
However , you ought in a general way,
to prefer and efteem the Scheme of his in-
grefs into T above all the reft:; For the
Ancients have affirmed that the Sun was
placed in this very Sign, and in the firft
■pmCtum thereof at the Creation i where
he began his unwearied courfe, in the Me-
ridian of Mefopotamia.
Therefore muft the Pofltion of Heaven
at the time of his return thereunto every
year, be the Principal Piller on which we
are to build our Aftrological Judgment
of Mundane Affairs; and this we need not
cavil at , if we do but confider that he is
fans vttdiy the Fountain of Life •, forts hcis^
the Fountain of Light, or attima mmdif
the Soul of the World,by which all things,
as well Vegeratrves asSenfitives have their
fabfiftence and vivifying nourifhment.
Again, experience crams us with belief
that
C75]
that this-affirmation of the Ancients is an
undeniable truth.
Firft , we fee that when the Sun enters
this Equinoctial Sign theEanhaiid Frees
grow green, and trudifie by degrees after-
wards , the i-irds warble forth their fweet
and melodious Tunes, and all Creatures re-
joyce.
Secondly, we find the Adions and Af-
fairs of the World correfpond with the
Face of Heaven at this time.

Fourth Houfe.
Hence we judge of the fertility or Are-:
rility of the ground, if ¥ 2 A or any
other Planet be in the fourth houfe well
dignified , the- earth will be fruitful and
bring forth good increafe, the Countrey-
man (hall have very hopeful crops of Corn,
and moft Fruits plentiful i but if h c? or
V be in this houfe unfortunate , then the
earth lhall be barren, or not bring forth its
due increafe, Fruits lbarce,and much of the
Husbandman's time fpent in vain, houles
come to mine and little profit redound
to the owners.

If you find this houfe free from the pre-
fence or evil Afped of an infortune, or

That of the Sun is'occafioned at the ^
or Change of the Moon, by the interpoS-
tion of the Moon between the Body of the
Sun and t-be Earth, averting or turning his
Beams from us, whereby, he becomes dark-
ned for that time.
That of the Moon is by the Diametri-
eallnterpofitionof the Earth betwixt the
Sun and the Moon, fo depriving her of
the light that Ihe receivcth from the Sun,
and this is always at the cf or jFull-Moon:
the Sun evermoveth intheEeKptiek-Llne,

1. An Artift cannot make a commixtion

12. All Rebellions breaking out at the

I . Ate& a Sciemla, from thy felf and
Science ^ for it is impoffible that the Ar-
till ffiould forefee the particular Idea of
things •, neither can fence receive a parti-
cular, but a general notion of the fenfible

things to ufe conjecture, for none but fuch
Perfons as are infpired from above can

6. The o is the Fountain of the Vital
Vigor, the 5 of the natural: this I judge
in Kingdoms or Nations fo well as parti-
cular Perfons.
7. The fignifications of an Eclipfe,
lhall be molt vifible, when the Eclipfe is
near an Angle ccnfider alfo the Stars in
AfpeCl one with another, and not the Pla-
nets only, but the fixed Stars alfo, the con-
ftellations arifing together with the Signs,

Here followeth fix remarkable y^phorifmj . illtjui
mare, to makeup the Game.
1. The five grand Affiiftions or Unfor- '^itCirciii
lunacies of the Planets are thefe, wx.when c
they are Combuft, Retrograde, Peregrine, Wlia
in their detriment or fall.
2. When two Planets are in 4 or in a-
ny other Afpeft fo each other, if they be Ufitti
in reception, it increafeth the goodnefs of aanciat
a
a good Afpe^t, and abateth the malice of
an evil Alpecft.
3. Obferve ftill the Antifcions and
Conter-Antifcionsof the Planets, for they
have their efFedl fo well as the Afpedts.
4. The vertue of a Planet is in that
Houfe, whofe beginning or Gulp he pre-
cedes by no] greater fpace than five de-
grces.
5. If ¥ or 2 be Significators of any
good and ftrong, then it (liall take place to
the full.
6. When t? or c? are Significators of
any evil and ftrong, they will bring it on
with a vengeance.
