may be to declare the dignities they haue in the same signes It is therefore to be vnderstand that vnder the zodiack there be seuen Planets which moue cōtinually of their owne proper and continuall motion and finishe their courses in diuers spaces and tymes according to the swiftnesse or slownesse of their motion and according to the greatnesse or smalnesse of their Orbe or circle For Saturne which is the highest of them all and hath greatest circle finisheth not his course or reuolution but in 30 yeares Iupiter in 12 yeares Mars in 2 yeares the Sonne in 365 daies about 6 houres Venus and Mercury keepe their course like the Sunne the Moone maketh her reuolution in 27 dayes and about eyght houres Then according to the diuersitie of the qualities of the signes and the diuerse and sundrie motions and aspects of the Planets in them they worke their diuers effects here below on earth the which who so will perfitly vnderstande hee must first know the qualities of the Planets the which I wil here prsently declare beginning first with Saturne because he is the highest aboue all the other and so orderlye proceede with the rest as they stand Saturne is cold and drye Melancholick an enemy and destroyer of the nature and life of man of the day Masculine euill and the greatest misfortune Iupiter is hote and moyst sanguine a friend and preseruer of the lyfe and nature of man masculine of the day and is called the greatest fortune Mars is immoderately hote drie cholerike masculine and of the night euill and the lesse misfortune The Sunne is moderately hote and drye masculine and of the day fortunate by aspect infortunate by corporall coniunction Venus is cold and moyst temperate flegmatick feminine of the night of good nature and is called the lesse fortune Mercury in all things is common and mutable he is good with the good and euill with the euill with the Masculine masculine with the Feminines feminine hote with the hote and moyst with the moyst infortunate with the misfortunes and fortunate with the fortunes especially when he is ioyned or corporally applying vnto thē or beholdeth them with some good aspect The Mone is likewise cold and moyst and albeit shee doe heate a little yet she doth moysten more she doth chaunge her nature and qualitie according to the quarters like as the Sunne doth thorowout the signes of the Zodiack the quarters and parts of the yeare She is also feminine of the night and fleugmatick and sendeth vnto vs the vertue and impression of all the other Planets For al the influences of the higher bodyes passing through her Circle come finally vnto vs. And this may suffice for the nature of the Planets howbeit I thinke it necessary also in this place to declare the nature of the head and tayle of the Dragon The head of the Dragon is in all poyntes like to Mercury good with the good Planets and euill with the euill for being ioyned with the good Planets he doth increase their goodnesse and with the euill their malice The tayle of the Dragon is contrary to the head for he is euill with the good and good with the euill so that he doth diminish the malice of the euill Planets and in like maner doth hinder and let the goodnesse of the good All these Planets together with the heade and tayle of the Dragon are noted and marked by their certayne characters as appeareth Saturne ♄ Iupiter ♃ Mars ♂ Sunne ☉ Venus ♀ Mercury ☿ Mone ☽ the tayle of the dragō ☋ the head ☊ Of the essentiall dignities of the Planets CAP. 3. THe ancient Astronomers haue foūd out and tryed by experience that the Planets doe shewe and vtter their force and strength muche more in some certayne places of the Zodiack then in othersome and therefore are sayde to bee more strong and better fortuned in those places then in other the which thing happeneth because the nature of those places and of the starres whiche are in those places doe accord and agree better with the nature of the planets in so muche that there is a certayne sympathie or agreement between the nature of the one and the other And for this place also they are called the essential dignities of the planets These be in number fiue that is to wete the House the Exaltation the Triplicitie the Terme and the Face of the which we will speake in order Of the first essentiall dignitie that is to say of the House THe Sunne and the Moone whiche are created of God to be the two great lightes amongst the other planets the one for the day the other for the night and hauing the principall dominion and gouernement in the generation and corruption of bodyes and thinges here below vpō earth are alotted for that cause for their houses two signes agreeable to their natures and qualities that is to say the Lyon for the Sunne and the Crabbe for the Moone which two signes are moste neare vnto our Zenith or poynt ouer our heads and haue their course the greatest part of the sommer They do also accord and agree to their nature and qualities as is already sayd for the Crabbe is cold and moyst nocturne or of the night feminine and moueable as the Moone And the Lyon is hote and drye diurne or of the day masculine and fixed as the Sunne These two planets or lights haue ech of them but one signe for their house but the other fiue haue euery one two signes whereof the one is called the diurne or day house because it is in such a signe the other nocturne or of the nighte whiche shall be in such a signe That is to say the day house shal be in a diurne signe and the night house in a nocturne signe Then Saturne being the highest of the other fiue like as he is contrary vnto the two great Lights being enemy vnto nature and a corrupter of her workes so hath he obtayned for his houses the two signes which do behold the Crabbe and the Lyon with perfect enmitie that is to saye with an opposition or contrary aspect as Capricorne and Aquarius of the which Capricorne is the night house and Aquarius the daye house Contrariwise Iupiter which is the father and friende of Nature hath for his houses Sagittarius and Pisces whiche behold the Lyon and the Crabbe with a trine aspect whiche is the aspect of perfect amitie of the which Sagittarius is the day house and Pisces the night And because Iupiter doth follow next after Saturne the one of his houses are before the houses of Saturne and the other after Mars following after hath for his houses Aries and the Scorpion wherof Aries is the day house and the scorpion the night house These two signes doe behold the Crabbe and the Lyon with a quartile aspect which is the aspect of vnperfect enmitie because that Mars is not friend vnto Nature neither so great an enemye as Saturne Then

WHen as I doe often times reuolue with my self Right Worshipfull the great laboures continuall paynes and incessaunt diligence whiche the forraign Nations vse for the aduancement of their countrey people to bring them vnto the vnderstanding and knoweledge of all and all maner Artes and sciences in so much there is not anye Authour that hath written in any tongue or language or of any Art or Science which they haue not translated into their own proper and vulgar tongue for the common commoditie of their countrey as dayly experience without further proofe doth sufficiently approue testifie I cannot a little maruell at the slacknesse or rather contemptuous negligence of our countreymen in these our dayes vpon whome although God hath bestowed his giftes moste plenteously so that I suppose them not to be inferiour vnto anye Nation in learning and knowledge yet as though they were borne only for themselues and to their owne vses haue altogether neglected to publish or set forth any thing for the common commoditie of their countrey or rather seeme to haue enuyed that anye man shoulde bee partaker of the fruites and benefites of their laboures and studies The whiche their dealinges how farre off it is from Christianitie they themselues can easily iudge But how farre different it is from a minde endowed with wisedom let this one sentence of Cicero in h●● offices declare and shewe he saith Non nobis silum nati su●●● sed partem patris partem parentibus partem amicis debemus That is we are not borne onely for our selues but partly for our countrie partely for our parents and partely for our friendes where as he atiributeth the first and principall point and duetie of our being in this life to the vse and commoditie of oure countrie the other partes as by destribution doth appeare the last and least parte vnto our selues But now by a preposterous conuersion as in all other humaine actions and affaires so likewise in knowledge and learning euerie man seeketh to profite and aduaunce himselfe that he may seeme to furmount and excell others but none for the common commoditie of his countrie which sheweth the greate abuse of God his good giftes and argueth the horrible ingratitude and contempt of naturall duties which euen the heathen men whiche knewe not God did acknowledge to be requisite in a good man but me thinketh I heare one obiect and say Sir in no age or time hath there beene so many famous learned men which haue written of and vpon the sacred Scriptures both by way of controuersie as otherwise as are in these our daies but for your astrologie it is thought of many better vnknowne then knowne Whereunto I aunswere thus most true it is that the sacred scriptures are to be preferred before al other knowledge learning arts or sciences whatsoeuer and such as haue traueled in them for the commoditie of their countrie worthie to reape their due reward and commendation but notwithstanding as God hath reuealed himself in his worde so hath he also opened himselfe in his creatures neither is it to be accounted the least or smallest poynt of Diuinitie to know God truely in his workes and creatures The Psalmist saith The heauēs declare the glory of god the firmamēt shew foorth his handie worke now I suppose there is none so ignorant and wilfull that will affirme or say the declaration of his glorie or the setting foorth of his handie worke to be wholie included and conteined in the frame beautie or motion of the same wherefore we must proceede further and with diligente mindes enter into the contemplation of their natures seeking out their secrete and hidden quallities for as it profiteth vs little to knowe that GOD hath adorned and decked the earth with all kinde of Corne and Cattell with hearbes fruites Plantes and trees except he had also taughte vs to knowe the natural quallities and vse of thē how some serue for foode and sustenance some for the helpe and cure of sundrie diseases greefes and maladies some for other necessarte purpose c. Whereby he doeth not all onely teache vs to knowe him to bee the Creator of these thinges but also his fatherlie lyberalitie in the bountifull bestowing of these his giftes and carefull prouidence in prouiding for vs all thinges necessarie for the maintenaunce and releefe of mans nature whereby wee mighte bee continually prouoked to acknowledge him to be our God and to prayse and glorifie his name for his greate benefites So in like maner when wee duely consider the natures and influences of the caelestiall bodies beholding and marking diligently thelr force and effectes in the inferior bodies wee shall straightway bee brought to the vnderstanding and knowledge how that God hath planted and placed in them a lawe of reigment or rule by whom as by his instruments and second causes he will rule and gouerne this inferior Orbe making it subiect vnto diuers and sundrie mutations and chaunges at his will and decree The which mutations and chaunges notwithstanding hee hath not secretlie closed vp vnto himselfe but most plainelie set foorth as in a table in his celestiall creatures to beholde and also to forewarne vs to foresee and take heede that when any euill is threatned to flye vnto him who alone can turne the same awaie and likewise to stirre vs vp vnto thankefulnesse when as hee sheweth his fauourable countenaunce and promiseth all goodnesse The like that is spoken here in generall may also bee saide and applyed vnto euerie particuler man in himselfe whose nature with the disposition and inclination of the same eyther vnto good or euill with his sundrie mutations and changes prosperity and good successe as also aduersity sicknesse or other mishappes is easily foreseene and soreshewed by the course and disposition of the caelestiall bodyes as by immoueable examples set downe by sundrye learned men is most euidently approoued that it needeth no further demonstration If then the whole course of mans life be thus ordred guided it is not to be doubted but all the actions of the same are in like sort ruled and gouerned so that consequently the disposition of them is likewise to be foreseene and therefore by wisedome most lightly borne if they

Moone The two Lights therefore being in that part of the zodiack which is attributed vnto them are also in like dignity as the other fiue Planets when they ar in their proper tearmes or boundes And vnto this dignitie is attributed and giuen the number of two Of the fift essentiall dignitie of the faces of the signes BEfore we haue diuided the Zodiack into xii signes and euery signe into xxx degrees Nowe wee will diuide those xxx degrees into three equall partes which we call faces so that euery face shall contayne tenne degrees and in euerye of those faces some one Planet shall haue his place or dignitie As Mars hath the first face of Aries the Sunne the second and Venus the third The first face of Taurus is subiecte to Mercurye the second to the Moone the third to Saturne The first face of Geminy to Iupiter the seconde to Mars the thirde to the Sunne and so consequently proceeding according to the order of the faces and of the Planets as more playnely shal be declared in the Table hereafter placed This dignitie is the least of all and hath giuen vnto it the vnitye or number of one Here followeth the Table cōtaining all the places and dignities of the Planets A declaration of the Table heere before placed THis table heere before placed is framed of many circles which also do make diuerse spaces and distanses Wherof the first space conteineth the degrees of the signes the seconde the nūber of the degrees marked with charactars of Arithmeticke in the third is noted the names of the signes with their charactars In the fourth the faces with their Lordes and gouernours in the fift is discribed the termes of the planets diuided by lines and betweene euerie two lines is placed the character of the planet which hath the ominiō in that place the sixt space conteineth the lordes of the triplicities in the seuenth is set their exaltations in the eyght their houses in the ninth there detriment fall or decay the tenth finallie comprehendeth the ioyes of the Planets In the Centre or middle of the table there is an Index or Volnel vpon the which is discribed the names of the dignities of the Planets If any man then wil know if any Planet be in his dignitie or would find the Lord of any house by setting the Index vpon the degree of that signe he shall finde directly downward vnder the same signe all the dignities whiche that Planet or any other may haue in that place There is also vnder the same Index another rundle or Voluell contayning the creticall dayes the demonstratiue or iudging dayes as also the killing or mortall dayes By the whiche if any man will knowe what daye the crysis or extreame force of any malady shall happen I speake of those sicknes which follow the force of the Moone Let him marke in what sign and degree the Moone was when the patient fell sick then set the index of that Voluel vpon the place when the Moone was and the vppermost little index vpō the first angle cretike it wil straight shew the degree of the sign vnto the which when the Moone commeth you shall iudge of the sicknesse so that the Moone be there fortunate For the contrary will happen if she be vnfortunate or rather to be enclyned to euill then to good The like must be done to find out the other cryticall iudicatyfes or mortall dayes in marking diligently when the Moone shall touche any degree which is correspondent to any of the 16 Angels of the figure or voluell which iudgement is drawne out of the 60 Aphorisme of Ptolomey in his Centiloqui● who sayth that for to knowe the criticall dayes of any sicknesse we must behold the motion of the Moone thorow the sixteene Angels of the figure for if the Moone be in them fortunate it shal fal out wel if she be vnfortunate contrariwise Of the degrees masculine and feminine bright smoake and darke vacant or voyde deepe augmenting Fortune and diminishing fortune and of those which bring imbecilitie or weakenesse to the body which are called Azimenes CAP. 4. NOw we haue already spoken howe the Zodiacke is diuided into signes and degrees and that some of them are masenlyne and some feminine Nowe wee must speake likewise of their partes and degrees which are separate into manye sortes for one sorte are called masculine for so much as when a masculyne Planet is in any of thē he is the more strong and fortunate the other are called feminine because they worke the lyke with the feminine Planets Againe some are called light or bright some darke some smoky and some voyde and that because of the starres which are in those places and some are called deepe and amongest these the Light make these Planets which are in them fortunate the smoky darke and deepe degrees work the contrary the voyde make them neyther fortunate neither vnfortunate Those which doe augment fortune are in place where there be starres of the nature of the fortunate Planets or be in the place of the exaltation or tearmes of the good planets or in the place where the termes of the good Planetes nets gather together Finally there are some degrees which are sayd to bring detriment imbecillitie or diminution vnto our bodyes which commeth to passe by the euill nature of the fixed starres which are in that place or for some other cause Therefore when it shall happen that in the natiuitie of any or in any question the Moone or the principall significator shall be found in any of those degrees if they bee not in one of the angles or in his house or exaltation and oriental it shal bring vnto him that is borne the losse or decay of some one member or at the least the losse of the thing that he demaundeth or seeketh All these degrees are contayned in a Table following with an Index or Voluel wherein is also described the names of them wherefore setting the Index vppon any parte of the signes directly by the lyne of the sayd Index you shall knowe the nature of the degree wherevpon it is set For the masculine degrees are all black the feminine white the lighte the darke the smoky and the voyde degrees are distinguished by small lynes betweene the whiche they are marked with the first letter of their names as the lighte degrees with the letter L the darke with D and so the other the rest of the degrees as the Azinienes the deepe and those which augment fortune they are marked with a figure of Arithmetick in their proper circles as the 6. 11. 16. 23. the 29 degree of Aries ar called deepe and so likewise the other as well that augment fortune as the Azimenes are noted as it appeareth by the table following after the fift chapter Of the vnequall houres called the houres of the Planets CAP. 5. HAuing deliberated how to entreate of things in order or with the least confusion that may be I wil speake

same house ar likewise placed Saturn Mercury with their degrees and minutes wherein they are found Venus is likewise placed in the eyght house being found in the 17. degree and 31 minutes of Pisces because the eyghte house hath his beginning with the first degree of Pisces in like order the other planets are to be placed with the head and tayle of the dragon but in the ephemerides the head of the dragon is onely marked and not the tayle because the tayle is alwayes in the contrary or opposition of the heade Of certayne partes and the waye and meane how to fynde them out Cap. 18. THe part of fortune is likewyse to be placed in the figure like as also the part of lyfe and death of the planette whiche is cause of the death which is called the interficiente or killing planet if the question be● touching any sick body the finding out of the which we will nowe presentlye teache The parte of life in in the day time is gathered from Iupiter to Saturne and in the night contrariwise and both times are proiected from the ascendent The part of fortune in the day time is taken from the sunne vnto the Moone and in the nighte from the Moone vnto the Sunne and hath day and night like the part of lyfe is added to the ascendent The part of death as well by night as by daye is gathered from the Moone to the degree of the 8 house and is proiected from the signe wherein Saturne is The part of the interficient or killing planet is reckned in the day time from the Lord of the ascendent to the moone contrariwise from the Moone to the Lord of the ascendent and is proiected from the Lord of the ascendent Therefore when you wil find out or ferche the place of any of these parts first bring your signes into number in order so that Aries may be in the first place Taurus in the second and so orderlye that Pisces maye bee founde the twelfth as followeth Aries 1 Taurus 2 Gemini 3 Cancer 4 Leo 5 Virgo 6 Lybra 7 Scorpius 8 Sagittarius 9 Capricornus 10 Aquarius 11 Pisces 12 Then take away the place of the Planet from the which ye begin to reckon vnto the other from the place of that wherevnto you doe reckon and put the differences that remayneth vnto the degre ascendent or to some other sign or place of the zodiack as in the exposition of that part is before sayd But if there can no substraction be made then put 12 signs vnto the signs and degrees frō whence the substractiō should be made Then accounting from the beginning of Aries wheras the number shall end there shall that part be placed as for example if you would find out the place of the parte of fortune in the figure before placed because it is a day figure the place of the sunne is to be substracted from the place of the Moone The place of the Moone is two signes 3 degrees and 11 minutes the place of the sunne is only 15 degrees and 5 mynutes from the first minute of Aries If then you doe substract 15 degrees and 5 minutes whiche is the place of the Sunne by astronomical substraction from 2 signes 3 degrees and 11 minutes there will remayne 1 signe 18 degrees 6 minuts which being added vnto the degree ascendent maketh 5 signs 28 degrees and 6 minutes because the ascendent is of 4 signs and 10 degrees then taking your beginning from Aries the part of fortune shall be placed in the 28 degree and 6 minutes of Virgo In this order must you proceede in the finding oute the true places of the other parts before mētioned Alwais this is not to be forgotten that in all of them the difference is not to be added to the ascendent as in the part of fortune whereas the difference is to be added to the place of Saturne notwithstāding in euery part ye must take your beginning frō Aries Of such thinges as are to be obserued before you giue iudgement of any question Cap. 19. NOw hauing erected your figure and placed your planets with the parts in the same as is before showed before that you doe gyue iudgement vpō any question certain things are diligently to be considered least error he committed in the same First therefore the 7 house and the Lord thereof are to bee considered for if the 7 house be letted by the aspect or presences of malygne planets or that his Lord be letted that is if he bee in his fall or retrograde or combust or otherwise hindred by misfortunes aforesayd you may not safely giue iudgement fearing to committe error For Ptolomei in the 14 Aphorisme of his Centiloquium sayth In how great error shall the Astronomer be wrapped when the 7 house and the Lord thereof are afflicted Furthermore it is diligently to be marked whether the question be radicall or no which is knowne if the Lord of the ascendent and Lorde of the houre be one or of one triplicity or nature For this constellation rising the question is radicall contrariwise it is not and therefore absolute iudgement is not to be giuen Here note that the firste euill extendeth no further then when the question demaunded doeth not appertayne to the 7 house for then it taketh no place but rather showeth that the question demaunded shall haue ill successe or effect Likewise neyther the first nor second rules doe not hold in natiuities neyther in anye question where the certayne houre of the thing done is knowne and giuen Of the significators and how for to finde them CAP. 20. BEfore that wee come to giue iudgement we must learne to knowe what the significators are and who they are and how to fynd them out The significator then is both the house that signifieth the thing demaunded and the Planet which hath most dignities in the same house whiche is called the Lord of the house of the finding out whereof we haue already spoken When as therefore any question is preposed the ascendent and his Lord is to be attributed vnto the querent or mouer of the question and the house that signifieth the thing that is demaunded and his Lord is attributed vnto the question or thing demaunded the Moone which in euery question is common is attributed alwayes with the ascendent and his Lorde vnto him that mooueth the questyon as for example if a man should moue a question to enquire of the state of his brother the ascendente and the Lorde thereof and the Moone are giuen vnto the querent But the third house and his Lord is giuen vnto the brother or if that any man should enquire of the diseases sicknesse of another the ascendent his Lord the Moone are significators of the patient but the sixte house and the Lorde thereof doeth signifie the diseases And in this maner is to be dealt in all other questions Notwithstanding it is to bee knowne that manye times you
