that is at the Age of 42 or 49 or both Thus we may see the ineffable wisdom of a Deity in disposing all into a regular course of Nature all things agreeing in order to the main design for which they were appointed and also the great Treasury of nature how it combines and contrives the Transactions of our lives as to Time Quality and Effects therefore it is not Antichristianism nor Atheism to own and believe a regular Fate for it is indeed 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 divinitus decretum so called from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 divido quia suum cuique divisum est all things acting and working having respect to their central cause to which purpose one learnedly saith Centrum unum omnium deus est And immediately after he tells us that there are four Circles continually rowling about it i. e. the Mind the Soul nature and matter Hence you see the Intellectuals give their attendance to that great Being in order to the performance of their duty in nature and by how much the more glorious the mind of man is than his body so is the mind of Angels more glorious than they and is indeed the perfect Rays of a Deity and Marsilius Ficinus after a long discourse in his Commentary upon Plato de Convivio speaking of the qualification of the mind and how the passions of some are communicated to some he makes use of no other cause but starry Influence when he says ita ut si nascente aliquo Mars in Veneris domo Libra vel tauro fuerit propter Martis praesentiam qui tunc Natus est acerrimis uritur amoribus orat quinta cap. 8. In the Nativity of any one if Mars should be in either of the Houses of Venus i. e. Libra or Taurus because of Mars his presence he that is then born will be subject to the torments of Love which in some Nativities I have taken notice of especially when the ☽ is in good Aspect of Venus and indeed it would not be hard to prove or yet to believe Saturn Mars and Venus to be the only Authors of all the Witchcraft in the World yet not according to the Popular Opinion by fascination but by a Magnetical Sympathy and Antipathy in the Actives and Passives of nature So they are also the cause of depraved minds and vicious Actions and that with a witness if ☿ the picture of the Soul is not in good aspect with the Moon and Saturn by which means Reason gains the Conquest of Lust and Passion but of this enough A short Collection of Aphorisms which take place in this Nativity 1 THE Lord of the Ascendant stronger than the Lord of the seventh the person then born always overcomes his Enemies Collec Genitu Apho. 25. 2. Spiea ♠with Pars Fortunae gives Riches Pto. Par. fol. 105. 3. The Sun in □ or ☠to Mars either hastens the Death of the Father or gives him many Troubles and Crosses P. P. fol. 62. 4. The Moon joined to ♄ or ♂ by Body or ill Aspect always incommodes the Mother P. P. fol. 3. 5. Eminent fixed Stars upon the Angles of a Nativity chiefly the M. C. and Horoscope shews eminent and prodigious persons Col. Genitu Apho. 30. 6. Mars and the Sun in the second in their dignities gives the Native Riches and ways to spend it Collec Genitu Apho. 50. 7. Three or four Planets in their dignities give great riches P. P. fol. 105. 8. The Sun with Jupiter in the M. C. he is here in ⚹ with Jupiter gives honour Pto. Par. fol. 110. 9. The Lord of the Mid-heaven in his dignities applying to the Lord of the Ascendant Oriental promiseth great honour in a Kingdom P. P. fol. 112. Some few remarkable Revolutions belonging to this Nativity AND first of the Revolution for the Suns return Anno 1671. to his radical place under the Influence of which he performed those great Undertakings against Flanders and Germany This Revolution is as prodigious as the Effects which were the then actions at that time of this Great Prince for here the Figure is almost the same with that of the Radix and all the Planets above the Earth except Saturn and he is as strong as any of them being angular and in Reception with ♀ here is the Sun gloriously placed in the Tenth House with Mercury in his Dignities and the Moon and Venus in the Eleventh in Libra and Mars Lord of the Ascendant in Conjunction with Jupiter near the Cusp of the Tenth House and it is such a Position as is not commonly seen I shall forbear to enlarge upon the Effects of this Figure because the actions are so long past and therefore let those that understand it draw a Judgment for their own use I will proceed to the Figure of the Revolution pro Anno 1678. ◠The Moon in Taurus her Exaltation in trine to the Sun in the Ascendant and Mars who hath Dignities in the Fifth in Sextile to the Sun there and in Trine to Jupiter Lord of the Seventh shew great inclination to a pacification and a general peace yet ☿ Lord of the Horoscope in ☠to Jupiter shews some impediment and hindrance in those Affairs but in the end it will be perfectly effected and so I come to the Revolution for the year 1680. This is the Revolution to operate with the Moon to the body of Mercury without Latitude but the Figure being no ways violent I shall forbear all further mention hereof and proceed to the Revolution for 1681. This is like to be an unhappy Revolution to work with so ill a Direction for here is ♂ Lord of his Radical Horoscope in square to Saturn and ☿ Lord of this Horoscope is combust and both in □ to the Moon and besides Saturn is upon the Radical place of the Moon and Mars upon his Radical Horoscope in square to him hence it is like to prove an ill Revolution but yet not mortal although he will be in danger this year And so I come to consider his Revolution for the Fiftieth year of his age beginning 1688. from Argol's Ephem ☉ ad □ ♄ ☽ ad ⚹ ♀ MC ad dom 12. These are the Directions that will influence the Fate of this Revolution which I am of opinion will not prove fatal and that for these Reasons First Saturn is Lord of no malignant House and secondly his square falls within the Rays of Jupiter and he strong Thirdly the ☽ is within the good Beams of Venus that is her ⚹ just coming up Hence I am induced to believe that Saturn hath not force and ill-will enough to kill at this time But in the Revolutional Figure I confess that ♂ Lord of the Radical Horoscope and partly of this is combust in the Eighth House and the Sun who is Fons Vitae is also afflicted of Mars in the same House but the ☽ is in Conjunction with ♃ and hastening to a △ of Venus and the Sun yet as the Moon is in
