you must regard the Sun the Planet that is Almuten of the tenth the Planet placed within five degrees of the cusp thereof if any such be or the Lord of Part of Government the which if you finde first beginning with the Sun and then considering the rest as they are set down in order placed and dignifyed essentially or free from affliction as you have heard he shall be Significator of the King otherwise not The Rules of the Ancients in this particular are not to be grounded on So that then by these their Rules omitting many such like Instructions for brevities sake there shall no Revolution whatsoever though never so bad or mischievous in the least have any relation or extend unto the King or Chief Rulers of any place as if they were excusable from misfortunes or the Heavens afraid to molest or afflict them which must needs be if these Documents of the Ancients must be admitted authentick who will have no Significator for them but such as is free from all impediment from which consequently we must conclude they shall never be molested or disturbed by Wars Commotions Insurrections Losses or Crosses whatsoever which I could wish were true but we can wofully testifie to the contrary besides to affirm it were both ridiculous and preposterous The greatest Potentate in the World is not free from the influence of the Heavens and stars For the Grandees of the Earth although never so great and proud yet they must know with us they are but men and such too as are not excused from the harmonious configurations of the Celestial Planets and Heavens But the Ancients although they have deserved by their writings infinite applause from all ingenious and judicious souls as also high esteem for both their care and learning yet in this particular they have come short for the generality of them I mean and therefore if in this I dissent from them as also in some other of their Rules I desire to be excused since I know no Reason why in every Age and in every study there may not some one or other not only finde out some failings of ancient Authors but also correct them nay far exceed them though perhaps in every particular they may again come short for we see even the best Divines the best Philosophers and Physitians have been corrected and in some things amended and so also the Astrological Philosopher may come short of another that stands upon his shoulders The true significators of Kings and Rulers after the opinion of the Author Wherefore then know that the true significator of the King or chief Rulers is the tenth house of Heaven at the time of the Suns ingress into Aries the Lord thereof and the Planets therein posited but more especially the cusp of the tenth and its Lord whether well or ill disposed 〈◊〉 mattereth not These in any Revolution to the end of the World shall still be Significators of the King or Rulers particularly and the Sun and Saturn in general but more especially the Sun The true significators of the People of any Nation in any Revolution of the years of the World In like manner look what ever sign ascends at the time aforesaid viz. the Suns ingress into Aries in any year and that sign together with its Lord shall particularly denote the common People of that Kingdom or Nation for which your Scheam is erected and shall be their significators and the Moon generally as the Sun is the general Significator of the Rulers In declaring unto you the sign ficators of the Enemies of both King and People in any Revolution I might also shew you the defects of some of the Ancients but I should rather choose though I had not a desire to be as brief as may be to pass them over in silence they meriting so much at our hands otherways wherefore let us to our business Of the enemies of King and people in any Revolution See that in every Revolution of the World you have regard to the opposite house signifying your Significators as the seventh house denotes the open Enemies of the Common People and King in a hostile way the twelfth house their private and the ninth house the secret Enemies of the King or Rulers because as you have heard in the 42. Chapter of the Second Book it is the twelfth from the tenth Of their assistance c. Even so as the second house signifies the wealth and assistance of the people so doth also the eleventh the Kings ayd wealth and assistance the eighth the assistance ayd and wealth of their open enemies c. as you have been fully instructed before in the same 42. chapter CHAP. IV. Of the Significators of Rich and Noblemen the Kings Standard or Armour-Bearer also Clergy-men and of Students Merchants Lawyers and Women in general also Fryers and Monks and these according to the significations of the Planets I Shall here only give you the general Significators of these according to the Antients as brief as may be that I may proceed to the second Section having at large spoken of them already in the second Book Wherefore know that Rich and Noblemen are signified by Jupiter and the Lord of the sign in which he is located in the Sun his ingress into Aries Souldiers Armour or Standard-Bearers Generals of Armies and the like are understood by Mars The ninth house and the Lord thereof denotes Clergy-men particularly and generally they are signified by Jupiter Also Judges and the graver sort of men Students Merchants and Lawyers and Scribes Clerks and all Pen-men Picture-drawers and ingenious wits also youth and young men in general are signified by Mercury Venus generally denotes women and all females see chap. 5. Book the 2. and the Moon the vulgar and rural sort of People as the Sun you have heard doth Emperours and Kings And lastly all such as live obscurely and devoutly to the service of God as Monks Abbots Fryers and the like amongst the Papists as in the 1. chap. of the second Book and amongst us such as slight all things in the World in comparison of Gods Service and Divine Mediation are signified by Saturn As touching Cities and Countries subject both to the signs and Planets you have also fully heard them declared in the Second Book where we treat of them Now to know the state and condition of any of these in a general way in any Annual Revolution you have no more to do but this look to your significator from which judgement is to be required and see if he be essentially or accidentally strong or assisted and judge according to his strength or debility good or bad to the parties signified for if well dignified and located good may be expected if afflicted and impedited the contrary c. SECTION II. Shewing the state and condition of the King or Rulers and their continuation and durability in any Revolution as also the condition of the People from the

VI. Of Comets and Blazing-Stars what they are the many sorts thereof their Portences and how long they appear at any time What a Comet is ELsewhere you may remember you have been shewn what a Comet is viz. in the 16. Chpater of the 3. Section of this Book it being no other then a dry exhalation viscuous and slimy exhaled by the Sun and power of the Stars by degrees into the upper Region of the Ayr for by how much the dryer or moister are the vapours whereof they are compounded the higher or lower are they placed and drawn up The name thereof This word Comet we borrow from the Greeks who call it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Cometes quasi comata stella an hairy Star as the word signifies in English whence the Latines call it Crinita because many times they appear like hair made of fire or fire in the manner and form of a mans head or an horses main and we in England do vulgarly call them Comets or Blazing-Stars of which there are divers sorts as mentioneth Pliny Lib. 2. cap. 25. de Nat. and others Divers sorts of Comets or Bl●zing stars The first by the Greeks called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 à barba resembling a beard because it hath a circle about it of that form or shape I mean about the nether part thereof The second they call 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 id est a jaculo because it is shapen in form of a dart or spear The third 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which is the same as is the former save only they are shorter and sharper-pointed at the top then the other and pale like a sword and without raies The fourth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 discus id est a dish or platter this Comet is so called for that it is round resembling a dish yet now and then it putteth forth one of the brims thereof The fifth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Pitheus and this is in form like a Tun invironed in a smoaky light The sixth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Ceratias thus called for that it resembleth an horn and such an one Pliny testifieth appeared when the whole manhood of Greece fought the battel of Salamis The seventh 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 lampas à 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 splendeo to shine like a lamp and therefore hath it this name The eighth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Hippeus this emitteth streams like unto an Horse main and therefore it is thus called this is swift in motion and often turneth round as saith Pliny A ninth he recordeth to be white and bright like silver hair and of that splendor that a man is hardly able to behold it and others become shaggy and compassed as it were with hair or frindge round about Where or in what part of Heaven usually seen They are in a manner all seen under the Great Bear or that constellation which we vulgarly call Charlimains Wain or Charles his Wain yet some have been discerned to appear in that white part of the Heaven called commonly the Milky way from the fictions of the Poet they denote many boisterous winds and excessive heat seldome are any seen in the West part of Heaven but about the South or Antartick Pole some have been seen as Pliny in the same aforesaid Chapter testifieth to whom I here refer thee where thou shalt finde what Prodigies they were the fore-runners of in the time of Claud●us Caesar Pompey and Octavius the Consul Their continuance in the Heavens It hath been observed and noted by the diligent care industry and pains of the Antients that they never appear a shorter time then a seven-night nor longer then 80 dayes some have said 40 others 75 from Plutarch who noted so much from the Comet which appeared before the Peloponsian wars in Greece but their continuance is according to their magnitude for if they be but small they will be soon burnt out unless they be daily fed with new exhalations I shall not here trouble my self to recite what Seneca Aristotle and others write in Histories concerning such horrid accidents which have followed in many places on the appearance of Comets since all the learned in the works of Nature do unanimously conclude they are the fore-runners of much

have proved by sufficient grounds my Allegations to be frivolous as he is pleased to term them and not thus frivolousl● to pass them over with a bare saying it is false without any contrary demonstration and so deceive hoth himself and Reader for I shall appeal to his own conscience whether he have ever perused by Book or that pretended Reply and mine together or if so whether he is not convinced not only that half my discourse is wholly omitted by the rurall Replyer but also that there is no solid and substantiall reply to any particular thereof laying aside his ridiculous whimseys and weak quibbles and evasions wherewith that Pamphlet so copiously abounds and this my appeal is not only to Mr. Gataker but all Ingenuous souls who impartially will judge of the matter and warily observe how my words are by him set down contrary to my intent and purpose in many places the better to make for his turn and idle conceits by comparing mine with his This I thought good to acquaint the world with that they be not led away with error and tradition having at this time so opportunely the opportunity of the Press and not only so but to demonstrate also to the World that notwithstanding what Dr. Homes the above named Rufus or this Mr. Gataker can or have said is altogether insufficient to refel the Arguments contained in that Discourse of mine it is not his saying Adam Seth Enoch Abraham Solomon and the Patriarchs were not Astrological Philosophers which of all Philosophers are the chief that will prove them not to be so but since I have Josephus testimony Joseph Ant. Jud. lib. 1. c. 2. that they were so and Eusebius his testimony that he was a man worthy of credit Eccles Hist lib. 1. cap. 7. Certainly I should forefeit my faith credit reason and underst●nding if I should beleive his testimony before the testimony of Josephus who was by so learned and holy a Father of the Church as Eusebius deemed so worthy and an Authentick witness or if I should beleive that he hath any ground for his other weak evasions wherewith his Book is fraught that dares thus contrary to his own conscience and knowledge asperse so worthy a man as Josephus by questioning his credit to whom the World is so abundantly engaged for his authentick and unparalled works the which neither Mr. Gataker Wisaker Rufus or a thousand such animals are worthy to carry after him But by this one thing is it plain to every Intelligent Reader that his tongue is no slander as we say and therefore the rather to be excused if in any place of his rahling patcht peece he be found guilty of reproaching his betters that dares thus when he knows not otherwise how to answer ad rem not only lightly esteem the testimonies of the Antient Historiographers but also of the Fathers which but for brevities sake I could shew him how in innumerable places of their Works they acknowledge themselves beholding to this learned Josephus but especially Eusebius in almost every Chapter throughout his whole ten Books of his Ecclesiastical History and in several places therein plainly expresses in the aforenamed words that He was a man worthy of Credit the which he cannot he ignorant of certainly being a professed Divine Judge thou then Reader whether is more worthy of credit Josephus that as I have sufficiently shewed testifieth Adam Seth Enoch and the rest of the Patriarchs were Astrologers and most exquisite therein and Eusebius that was a learned Father of the Church that testifieth Josephus to be a man most worthy of credit or learned Rufus Rolandus and wise Mr. Gataker who say they are not and revile those who have maintained the contrary but not able otherwise to give any reply thereunto but if one say here is two to two and so imagine we stand upon equal terms I must needs tell him he will finde as much difference as is between men and asses yet to put the matter out of doubt I shall give you one more which is Gerson one sufficient to countervail a thousand such Rolands or Gatakers that are opposite thereunto who in his Preface to his Trilogium Astrologiae Theologizatae testifieth also that Astrology was first revealed by God himself to Adam Nay farther Josephus doth not only testifieth that this Science was studied by these Patriarchs and that also God first revealed it unto our first Father Adam but that Seth was so well skilled therein that he foreknew thereby that the World should be destroyed by the flood and therefore ingraved it with other Arts and Sciences on two Pillar the one of stone and the other of brik and that he saw that of stone to remain in Syria in his dayes Moreover he farther testifieth Joseph Ant. Jud. lib. 1. cap. 8. that Abraham being exquisite therein and having learned it in Chaldea the place of hit birth when he went into Egypt was the first that taught them Astrology and Arithmetick the which testimonies especially carrying such strength of probability with them I cannot beleeve ever were or ever will be questiened by the judicious and the more rational sort of men And as touching Mr. Gataker his rash and inconsiderate aspersion in reckoning me with the Impostors and Jugling knaves which abuse this Noble Science by their illegall practises the which I have in the Fol. 6.3 first Epistle and Page 58. first Book sufficiently declared against in terming me Pag. 168. a bird of the same feather I might justly tell him he is no better then a Thom-as Wisaker thus rashly to conclude what he is ignorant off but that I fear I should be guilty of the like absurd language with him and be too plain with the old man whom I must confess hath by this his rash and inconsiderate affirmation most extreamly over-shot himself and were he not a Divine I should say he were doting or mad thus highly to dare to affront one who he is altogether a stranger to and this let me tell you Mr. Gataker and excuse your self when and as well as you can That it is neither the part of a Scholar a Rational man a Divine a Presbyterian or a Christian to assume liberty to asperse vilifie and wrongfully accuse your brother upon the bare hearsay of another especially one of so mean credit as is the pretended Author of the Reply to my Book in answer to Doctor Homes for I scorn to name him who hath been of such variety of Professions and is well known to be a time-serving fellow Ergo not worthy the noting for deny it if you can that it was not that pretended Reply that lead you thus to assume the boldness as to term me so confidently a bird of the same feather with Impostors for as I have before declared in the Cap. 13. fol. 28. first Book I never practised or studyed it otherwise then for the satisfaction of my minde and for my own pleasure and therefore good Mr. Gataker
