XIII Shewing how to rectifie a Nativity by the trutine of herms THe first and easiest way of rectifying an Nativity and reducing it to that moment of time when the Infant made its exit from the dark prison of the Mothers womb and began to be a visible member of the Creation is by the trutine or scrutiny of herms one of the wisest of all mortall men and as ancient as Moses who was of this opinion that the very degree of the same sign wherein the Moon was at the Conception of the Childe should be the true sign and degree of the ascendant at the Birth this way of Rectification is far more ancient then the animador of Ptolomy and allowed by Ptolomy himself in his 51 Centiloquium his words are What sign the Moon is in at the time of the Birth make that very sign the ascendant at Conception and what signs the Moon is in at Conception make that same sign or the opposite unto it the sign ascending at the Birth c. He therefore that would know the exact time aforesaid its no matter whither it relate to himself or another must first erect a Coelestial Scheme for the estimate time of the Birth and rectifie the place of the Moon thereto and place her in the Figure Then take the distance of the Moon from the ascendant if she be Subteranean or under the earth and from the seventh house if she be above the earth substracting the signs and degrees of the Angles from the signs and degrees of the Moon by adding 12 signs if Substraction cannot otherwise be made and with the distance of the Moon from the Angle enter the Table Intituled A Table of the mansion of the Childe in his Mothers womb Under the titles of signs and degrees seeking the nearest Number thereunto and over against that under the Columns of the Moon under or above the earth and in the respective Columns you will find the certain number of dayes that the Childe remained in the dark prison of its Mothers womb This done consider whither the year of Birth be Common or Bisextile and what day of the year the Birth is then Substract the number of dayes that the Childe remained in the womb from the day of the birth by adding 365 or 366 according as the year of birth is common or Bisextile if Substraction cannot otherwise be made and with the residue enter the Table of Moneths under the year of Birth and you will find the Moneth and day of the Month when the Childe was Conceived A Table of the Mansion of the Childe in its Mothers Womb.

Now to know the Month and day when the Childe was conceived I marshal the matter according to the following method   Sig. deg m. True place of the Moon 7. 10. 25 Cuspe of the ascendant _____ Substract 5. 18. 19 Rests the distance Moon from the ascendant 1. 22. 06 With which distance I enter the Table of the Childes Mansion and the nearest number thereto in signs and degrees is 1 sign 18 degrees Against which in the Column Intituled Sub terra or the Moon under the Earth I find 277. intimating that the native was 277 dayes in the obscure prison of his mothers womb The native was born in 1632. which divided by four and nothing remaining shewes 't is a Bisextile year   dayes Number of the dayes from January 1 to the 15 of July in a Bisextile year is 197 For facility of operation I add the number of dayes in a Bisextile year 366 The Aggregate 563 From which I substract the number of dayes that the Childe was in his Mothers womb 277 Rests 286 Which in the Table of Moneths for the Bisextile year points out the 12 of October 1631. on which day the Childe was conceived The Moon that day at noon according to precise Calculation from Keplers Tables was in Virgo 20 deg 56 min. 31 seconds which is not above 3 degrees distant from the ascendant at birth And therefore I conclude that the Childe was conceived the 12 of October 1631. as aforesaid And thus much shall serve for the Correction of a Nativity by the Trutina Hermetis There be other wayes of Rectifying the estimate time aforesaid as the Animodar of Ptolomy and accidents of the Native which Latter is most exact and that which I make practice of next the Trutine of Herms If you desire to know whither the Childe be likely to live any space after it 's born for many times we see Children live but a few Months yea some but a few dayes hours or minuts Sometimes the Mothers womb becomes the Infants Tomb. O how thankful to God should we be who are preserved to the age of 30. 40. 50 c. 'T is a great blessing from God to have a long lease of our life whose kindnesse and infinit love we should endeavour to requite by spending it in Divine Contemplations and Adorations c.

First When two Planets both direct and in motion and the one a more light and swifter Planet then the other do apply As Mercurius in 10 deg of Aries and Saturn in 10 deg of Gemini here Mercury being more swift then Saturn is said to apply to a Sextile of him Secondly When both Planets is Retrograde Thirdly when one Planet is direct in motion and the other Retrograde as Mercury Retrograde in 10 deg of Aries and Saturn direct in 15 deg of Aries Mercury is ●aid to apply to the Conjunction of Saturn by Retrogra●ation Here note that the Superiour Planets Saturn Jupi●er and Mars never apply unlesse Retrograde to the Inferiours but just as it is amongst men the Inferiours alwayes apply unto the Superiours This Coelestial Oeconomy demonstrates the infinit love of God towards us who being Superiorum Altissimus should apply himself to us his sinful creatures even when we run Retrograde O wonderful love 3. Separation of Planets is when two Planets having been united by Body or Aspect and are separated or departed from each other six minuts at least continuing their separations untill they be past the mediety of others Orbs. 4. Prohibition of Planets is twofold First When two Planets are applying to each other but before they can come to eithers Body or Aspect behold another Planet swifter in motion interposes his Rayes and so prohibits their Application Secondly When a lighter Planet is applying to another Planet more ponderous and before he comes to his Body or Aspect falls Retrograde and so is prevented by that Planets refrenation 5. Translation of light and nature is when a light Planet shall separate from a more weighty one and immediatly shall be joyned to a more ponderous one 6. Reception of Planets is when they are mutually in others Houses Exaltations Triplicities Terms or Faces 7. Peregrime a Planet is said to be Peregrine when he is out of all his essential dignities 8. Frustration is when a light Planet would joyn with another more ponderous but before he can come to the Conjunction of him the ponderous Planet is joyned to another whereby the Conjunction of the first with him is frustrated 9. Combustion is when a Planet is within 8 degrees 30 minuts of the Suns Body here note that a Planet is more afflicted when he is applying to then separating from combustion 10. Cazimini Planets are said to be in Cazimini or Cordisolis heart of the Sun until they be separated 17 min. from his Body all Planets in Cazimini are exceedingly fortified 11. Direction Planets are said to be direct in motion when they move a regular progresse in the Sign they are in as out of one degree into another and from that to the third c. 12. Retrogradation is when Planets move contrary to their wonted order and succession and goes backward as out of the eight degree into the seventh and so to the sixth c. 13. Planets are said to be Stationary when they move not at all but stands still in the Heavens 14. Planets are said to be Oriental when they rise before the Sun Occidental when they set after the Sun 15. Besieging is when a Planet is between the Bodies of two other Planets if the Besiegers be benevolents its good otherwise it s almost as bad as Combustion 16. Planets are said to be void of Cause when they are separated from a Planet and do not apply unto nor meet with the Body or Aspect of another during the time they be and remain in the Sign wherein they are posited This accident happens most frequently to the Moon by reason of her first motion this much shall serve for the Terms of Art and their Explanations that every Young Beginner ought to be acquainted with CHAP. III. Of the Systemn of the World and Motion of the Earth THe World containing all the Visible Creation is the order and distribution of all things kept and preserved of God and is vulgarly divided into two parts viz. Heaven and Earth of which this Excellent Structure is composed The Center of which Fabrick is held to be the Sun but their hath been much controversie amongst the most eminent Mathematicians concerning the Scituation and Motion of the Sun and the Earth Copernicus and some of the Ancients before and since Christ held the Sun to be immovably fixed in the Center of the Universs and that it was the Earth only that moved Others again denied affirming that the Sun moves only and that the Earth stands still Both produce their Reasons and Demonstrations to prove it The Judgement of Divines is unanimous viz. that the Earth is immovably fixed and that its the Sun that moves But although the Judgement of Divines concur in it yet I am not altogether of their Opinion that saith it is immoveably fixed in the Center For the equal or unequal distribution of the Universal Anima Mundi alloweth it to have a Life and consequently Motion which is the property of Life and therefore it must be granted that either their's no such thing as the Universal Anima Mundi or else if there be that the Earth is exempt of it and so lifelesse to affirm either of which is prodigiously absurd and ridiculous and contrary to the Judgement of the soundest Divines Philosophers and Mathematicians But whether the Earths Motion be Central Circular or Equilibral their 's the Question let them whet their Wits upon it and they will be the sharper As for me I shall satisfie my particular friends concerning the Motion thereof for I am confident it hath a Motion though insensible by reason of the dis-proportion which our visual senses have to its vast Magnitude and the World in general in the next Edition But I shall now return to give you an account of the several Spheres of Heaven in their various Situations and Motions according to the Opinion Demonstration and acurate Observations of that Noble Danish Lord Tycho Brahe 1. That the Earth is the Center of the World equidistant in all places from the vast Circumference of the fixed Stars 2. About the Earth is the Sphere of the Moon which by reason of its Propinquity and Parvity of her Orbe She compleateth her Periodical Revolution in a Month. 3. The Sun is the Center of the Planetary Systemn so that all the Planets respect Him as their common Node and Center He compleateth His Course through the twelve Signs of the Zodiack in a year 4. The nearest Planet to the Sun is the Orbe of Mercury which by reason of the Parvity of his Circle and Vicinity to the Sun his greatest Elongation not exceeding 28 degrees therefore he is rarely seen he finisheth his Revolution in 88 dayes 5. In the next Sphere moves Venus who accomplisheth her Revolution through the 12 Signs of the Zodiack in 225 dayes 6. The next Sphere above the Orbe of the Sun is the Orbe of Mars which Intersects the Suns Orbe twice he compleateth his Revolution once in two years
