the Signs which belonged to the Sun For God makes the Pleiades and Orion as if they were to be bound or unbound and yet neither of them hath either hands or feet to be bound or any power of making hot or cold or wet or dry to be restrained or made void Thus talks the Doctor like a Sluggard wise in his own conceit Luk. ●2 54 55 56. maugre all the wisdom and experience that ever Mortals tasted Wise men do know by the very same kind of experience whereof our Saviour said T is so that the Pleiades rising with the Sun at Spring time do occasion stormy Tempests Wind and Rain which suiting with the Season are called their sweet influences and are so translated out of the Septuagint And this it seems was it whereof God questioned Job if he were able so to restrain the influence of those Stars And. Argol Astronomic lib. 2. Ch. 8. out of Ptol. Plin. and others as they should not be able to raise such Tempests Of the Constellation of Orion the same wise men also have diligently observed and found out that when it is joined with the Planet Saturn it begetteth Wind and Rain which in Summer time bindeth the Earth with tough and hard Clods and in Winter time with as hard Frosts whence comes the bonds of which Job was questioned if he were able to loosen them These things went for currant Observations in Plinie's time and the same were they esteemed in the learned Ptolomie's days So also are they found in our own Age by the famous Mathematician Andrew Argol of Padua And to this purpose says the Lord God Almighty according to the famous translation of the Septuagint Against all whom this one Doctor opposes his single Vote that it is not so but that it is the Sun and not the Dog-star which begets the great heat in July and August and the Sun and not the Pleiades nor the Hyades which begets the Storm and Tempest in the Spring and the Sun and not Saturn nor Orion which begets the Frost and Snow in the Winter Thus madly coins he the single Sun to breath both hot and cold and wet and dry as he moves only from place to place But then when the Doctor doth thus entail the heat and cold to the Place of the Sun he forgets how that in Ptolomies time when Dog-days were long since observed they happened in May and June a whole Month before what they do now And therefore had the Sultry Season pertained to the Sun only after it had heated the Earth how came it to pass that in those olden days it happened so soon ere the Sun came to his full heat Or why is it that this Sultry Air goes along with the Dog as he meets with the Sun and that varying as the Dog varies and not fixing to any one point in the Sun's Circle but the Doctor is as wise as the Welchman who moved the Judg to put off his tryal upon Life and Death unto the coming of Christ to Judgment with his twelve Apostles alledging that Her could stay till that time for sentence And so her Doctorship can very well be persuaded to defer the Debate of this Dispute until the Dog comes into ♑ which in all likelihood will not be till after the day of Judgment At what time may the Doctor or his Executors Administrators or Assigns be alive to see it reason tells them no doubt but in that midst of Winter the Dog complying with the Sun will produce a Sultry Calm as a Parenthesis between the Snows and that not as a concomitant but a real cause thereof Sect. 11 In his seventh Section we find him very busily teaching his Grandom to spin The Doctor it seems takes scorn to be found unread in any kind of skill and it is a wonder if first or last he controul not the Scullion-Maids in matters of washing Dishes and scraping Trenchers for he will find it a far easier matter there then in his undertakings here He takes us Astrologers it seems to be all of us meer Ignoramus's who understand not the reason of our own Science and therefore takes he upon him to teach us The Sign ♈ says he may tollerably be phancied to be the Sun 's Exaltation And he gives us to know a reason for it because at his entring there we may observe some more sensible mutation in the Air and Earth Again They had says he some intimation to make ♌ the House of ☉ his 〈◊〉 being then most sensible and ♋ the House of the ☽ because she 's then most vertical And he farther affirms that for Aspects in all likelihood the sensible variety of the Phases of the ☽ in ☍ △ and □ gave them first occasion to take notice of Aspects And then another thing happening though independent on the course of the ☽ namely that every seventh day in an acute Disease is critical and where are usually at those returns the greatest alterations and stirs in the Patient and the □ Aspect of the ☽ happening about seven days from her ♂ and about seven days more her ☍ This natural Circuit of Fermentations in acute Diseases has given occasion to slander the Moon in those cases and for her sake to reproach the Aspects of ☍ and □ in all the rest of the Planets Now thanks be to this good Doctor for his kind information of our Mistakes for this is more then every body knows or will do us the kindness to let us know But had he digested his intelligence a little better before he brought it it might have been much the greater Courtesie For first there are some who are not satisfied how ♈ became the Sign of ☉ s Exaltation because of the sensible mutation of the Air and Earth in his entrance there if that were all because there is the like sensible mutation at his entrance into ♋ ♎ and ♑ And then again as for ♌ if that were ☉ House only for his sensible heat there why the● was not ♑ the Moon 's House because of her sensible cold there she being a Planet as much delighted in coldness as ☉ is in heat And as for ♋ were that the Moon 's House only because there she is most vertical Why then was not ● ☉ s House too because he also is most vertical there too as well as ☽ And if that were all how is it that the ☽ doth not change her Houses as she has to do with change of Countries ●ing that in some places she is vertical in ♊ and elsewhere in ♉ and ♈ but had the Doctor a little better perused Ptolomy or the Arabians or Origanus whom he sometimes quotes he would have found that ♋ is generally esteemed the ☽ 's House as well in those Countries where she is not vertical as where she is And that ♌ is the House of ☉ as well there where he has less heat as where he has most And lastly is for acute Diseases all
