that Saturn in opposition to the Sun is nearer the earth then Venus in Apogeon And that Mars in opposition is nearer then the Sun himself You may also perceive in this Diagram a Demonstration of the Planets various distances from the earth Why they are sometimes more near to and sometimes more remot from the earth c. To conclude of the distance of the fixed Stars from the earth I can say nothing For Observations tells us that the Angle of Paralax by which the distances of the Planets is exactly determined is altogether insensible as in relation of this Orb. And from thence it follows that it is impossible by the wit of man to obtain either their Distances or Magnitudes CHAP. XI Of the Trees Herbs and Planets under the government of the seven Planets THe great wisdom of a Physitian is to know what Planet causes the disease and whether by Simpathy or Antipathy for as the cause is so must the cure be viz. Simpathetical or Antipathetical Simpathetical cures strengthneth nature Antipathetical cures in one degree or other weakneth it But because I am not now to act the part of a Physitian although I much honour their Functions nor to prescribe or medle with their Manual Operations but as a Mathematician I may lawfully and acceptably direct my discourse to the Astrological Physitian who of all others in that Profession I esteem most for he only knows the Influence of the Stars upon humane bodies and can tell a mans disease by the Sta●s without going to visit the sick c. to these Gentlemen therefore I direct my speach When a Planet ca●●eth a disease by Simpathy the best and only way is to cure it by the Simpathetical Herbs under the dominion of the saids Planet but if he cause the disease by Antipathy look to what Planet it 's to whether it be to the Sun or Moon c. As for example A young Student in Physick presented an Urine to me and desired my Judgement what I thought of it and of the Patient whose it was I found Mars to be the causer of the disease and in partile opposition to Venus and she hard by the Dragons Tail * I told him the Patient was afflicted in the Instruments of Generation which was most true as he confessed Therefore I concluded that it was by Antipathy to Venus and so I bade him make use of the Simpathetical Herbs of Venus for cure I mention this Gentlemen only for your best advantage in attaining the true causes of the disease whether it be by the Nativity Decumbiture or Urine that so you may speedily discover what Simpathetical Herbs are fit to cure it But to return the Herbs and Plants under the dominion of Saturn are Barley Redbeets Byfoil Birdsfoot Bistort Buckhorn-plantane Clavers Comfray Cudweed Syatica-Cresses Croswoort Darnal Dodar Epithimum Elm-tree Fleawort Flaxweed Fumitory Stinking-Gladwin Gutwort Hakweed Humlock Hemp Henbane Horstail Knapweed Knotgrasse Medlartree Moss Mullen Osmond-royal Nightshade Pylewort Polipodium Poplartree Quinstree Rupturetree Rushes Solomons-seal Sarasens-consound Servicetree Splenwort Tamari Melancholy-thistle Blackthorne Throughwax Tutsan Woad Herbs under Jupiter be Agrimony Alexander Asparagus Avens Baytree Whitebeets Waterbetony Woodbetony Bilberries Burrage Buglosse Chervil Sweetcisly Cinqfoyl Costmary Dandeleon or rather Dens-leonis Lyonstooth Docks Dogsgrasse Endivy Hartstongue Hysop Housleek or Seengreen Lungwort Liverwoort Sweetmaudlen Oaktrees Redroses Sage Sawcealon Scurvygrasse Succury Ladies-thistles Bloodwort Herbs under Mars be Ars-mart Asarabaca Barberries Sweetbazil Bramble Briony Brooklime Butchersbroom Broom Broomrape Crowfoot Cuckowpint Cranbil Cotton-thistle Flaxweed Furbush Garleeks Hathorn Hops Masterwort Mustard Hedge-mustard Nadir Netles Onions Pepperwort Cardusbenedictus Radish Horsradish Rubarb Rapontick Bastard-Rubarb Thistles Starthistls Woolythistle Tobacco Treacle Mustard Mithridet-mustard Wold or Weld Wormwood Herbs under the Sun be Angelica Ashtree Balm Oneblade Burnet Butter-bur Cammomill Celandine Centaury Ibright Saint-Johns wort Loveage Marigolds Misleto Peony Saint Peters wort Pimpernel Rosasolis Rosemary Rue Safron Tormentil Turnsole Vipersbuglosse Walnut-tree Herbs under Venus be Alhoofe Aldertree Apletree Arach wyld and stinking Archangel Beans Ladiesbedstrow Birchtree Bishops-weed Blits Bugle Bardock Chery tree Chickweed Cich-pease Clary Cockshead Coltsfoot Cowslips Daisies Devilsbit Elder Eringo Fetherfew Figwort Filipendula Foxgloves Goldenrod Gromwel Groundsel Herb-Robert Herbtrew-love Kidneyswort Ladiesmantle Malows Mint Motherwort Mugwort Neips Parsneips Peachtree Peartree Penyroyal Periwinkle Plantan Plumbtree Primroses Ragwort Sorel Sowthistles Spignell Strawberies garden-Tansie wyld-Tansie Tezles Vervain Vinetree Violets Wheat Yarow Herbs under Mercury be Calamint Carats Caroways Dill Elecompane Fenel Fern Germander Haslenut-tree Horehound Hounds-tongue Lavender Liquoris Walrue Maidenhair sweet Marjorum Melilot Moneywort Mulberytree Oats Persly Cowparsnip Pelitory of the wall Groundpine Restharow Samphire Winter and Summer Savory Scabions Smalage Southernwood Meadowtreefoyl Gardenvalerian Woodbin or Honysuckles Herbs under the Moon be Aderstongue Cabages Coleworts Columbines Watercresses Duckweed Waterflag Flowerdeluce Fluelin Ivy Letice Waterlillies Losestrise Moonwort Monseear Orpine Popyes Purslain Privet Ratlegrasse White-roses White-saxifrage Winter-Gilitflowers the Willowtree CHAP.

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.
