In Order to this I have Erected a Scheme and when you would consider any Question to know it first view well this Scheme Erected and Calculated for the Resolving all Lawful Questions Mark how the Signs and Planets are Posited in their Government of the Coelestial Houses and then the Figures in the Square To understand this the better take in the Number of the Day of the month and Mark what Planet Rules that Day you state your Question to be Resolved and these are their Characters as to the Governing the Days of the Week as you find in the Angles or Houses of the Scheme Erected on Sunday ☉ Governs on monday ☽ on Tuesday ♂ on Wednesday ☿ on Thursday ♃ on Friday ♀ on Saturday ♄ this being Noted pitch upon any Number that exceeds not 30 add to it the Number of the Day of the month and the Letter that begins your Name if it be a Figure if it be not it stands but for 1. then gather the Number thought on and the Number of the Day of the month with that of your Name Letter into one Sum and divide it by 30 and then if you find what Remains in the upper part of the Square in the Figures placed there assure your self of Good Luck but if it fall out in the under part it promises but an Indifferency of Fortune As for Example you would be certified whether you shall have the Party you are in Love withal and desire to marry take the Number of the first Letter of your Name and the Number of the Planet that Governs the Day you enquire reckoning from Sunday as to the Days of the Week till Saturday in order and then divide them by 30 and if it appears in the upper part it promises you Success in what you desire to know but if in the under part of the Table you will be Crossed in your Expectation If there Remains neither under nor over it Remains in the Blank Houses of the Scheme where neither Good nor Bad Fortune is signifyed then being put off with a Blank you must think again and proceed in the same order till it comes up to a Figure or Sum over or under that is as you find it above or below in the Table and upon this Rule depend all Questions that can reasonably be thought on to be Demanded As Success in Love Affairs Portions great or small Law suits Absence of Friends whether Dead or Alive or when Return if ever whether you shall gain the Preferment you desire whether you shall escape Sickness or not also in Wagers Combates Children Child-birth overcoming Troubles good or bad Debts true Friendship News or storys true or false if a thing stolen be Recoverable or not and indeed what ever your Occasion requires as to Worldly Matters which for Brevitys sake I here forbear to Innumerate as being too many and too tedious to set down in all their particulars What Diseases in the Bodys of Men Women and Children are more Immediately caused by the Influence of the seven Planets with Astrological Remarks as to their Cure SAturn ♄ Reigning causes Cold Diseases as the Gout Leprofy Palsey Quartan Agues Dropsys Catarrhs Coughs Rheumatisms c.

The moon ☽ causes Palsey Chollick the Whites Dropsey phlegmatick Impostumes Dissenteries and all Diseases coming from Obstructions in the Veins Now having given you a sight of what Diseases the Influence bring upon the Bodys of Men and Women it is their Business to consider under what particular Planet each Individual was Born which may be known several ways treated on in this Book and therefore I need not here give further Instructions as to that particular but come to more general Terms to know how the Bodys ought to be ordered to prevent these Diseases and herein as one main Expedient I recommend Temperance moderate Bleeding and purging in seasonable times when a Friendly Planet Opposit to the Malignancy of the planet you was Born under has Dominion which will much abate the Effect of their Influence and give Nature a Power to Oppose the Malevolency which if well heeded may be a main prevention of Dangerous sickness Observe also to gather all your Physical Herbs in the Hour of the Friendly planet that temperizes with that you are Born under and in so doing they will have more Strength Power and Virtue to Opporate in the Medicines but neither physick nor Bleed on the 3d. of January the 1st of July the 2d of October the last day of April the first of August and the last for Astrologers with whom Physitians joyn conclude Perillous by reason of the bad Influence then Reigning and if it change not the Distemper into another Worse it will Augment it and put the Party in great Danger of Death if he or she in this Case be not so Luckey to escape it The Urinall Doctor or Astrological and physical Observations on Casting Urine Relating to Health or sickness with Cautions to prevent threatened Evils CAsting of Urine is now become a great Trade and many People much Rely upon it to know the Constitution of their Bodys as to sickness or health and though there is something in it yet they many times go to Ignorant Pretenders who will take their Money and tell them a plausible story though they know nothing of the Matter therefore among these many useful things I shall give the Reader an Insight to know it himself and in this very one thing save him or her the mony this whole Book fraught with so many Rarities will Cost them First Then if the Urine be Red it signifies the Blood is Heated and you must either Bleed or Allay that Heat with Cooling things to prevent sickness 2d The Urine White shows Rawness and phlegmatick Indigestions in the stomach which must be Remedyed by Gentle purges to Cleanse it and Restore lost Appetite 3d. Thick and Muddy Urine betokens the Body surfeited by over Heating in Labour Walking or other Exercise or by excessive Drinking and then to prevent a Fevour take Cooling Cordials 4th A White and Red Setling Gravelly or sandy in the Urine betokens the stone beginning to putrify in the Reins

A Woman whose Husband had a Bruise by a fall down Stairs carryed his Urine to a Urine Casting Doctor who pretended likewise to be a Conjurer he after shaking seeing little specks of Blood Float in it had so much Understanding to tell her the Party had Received some Internal Hurt the Woman agreed to this as Truth but demanding by what means he came by it upon this he erected his Scheme and in the mean time asked her so many Questions that by the drift of her Discourse he gathered he had Tumbled down Stairs the Woman not minding well what she had said in the Consternation she was in at the hard Words he uttered supposing he was Conjuring up the Devil to be Resolved in the Matter told her her own Words again in a different Stile the Woman acknowledged it True with some Admiration but desired to know how many Pair of Stairs he might fall down she had told him before where she Lived and he considering the place consisted mostly of Low Buildings answered Two Pair nay now said she you are out in your Art he fell Three Story I 'll promise this put our Doctor to his Trumps when having Mused a while for an Excuse he shook the Urinal again and asked her if there was all the Water her Husband made No Replyed she I spilt a little in pouring it in O hoe did you so said he why that Woman is the business that made me Mistake for there went away the other Pair of Stairs in the Urine you spilt Cautions against much Bleeding and Physicking and what necessary Rules are to be taken to supply the Defect THough I have often in this Book set down Rules for Health and particularly Blood Letting with the Times and Seaesons proper since Health is the Rarest Jewel of Life yet for once let me give a Caution that none by Ignorance or too much Forwardness instead of Preserving Prejudice their Health Though Physical Medicines are properly Good in their Order and helpful to Nature whose Handmaid they are to help her expell any Noxious Humour that may produce a Virulent Distemper yet over-doing may be more Injurious than under doing therefore my Advice is that none do Accustom themselves over-much to Purging Medicines or Blood-letting except without them there will be some great Prejudice or Defect in Nature for when once the Body is often accustomed to them they will be worse if it be not continued which by often Repitition must waste the Vital Spirits as well as they carry off the bad Humours Therefore chuse rather to take such apt things as are proper to keep the Body open and a wholsom moderate Dyet Bread and Butter strewed with Rosemary Sage Rue or Scurvygrass is an excellent preservative of Health and in the Spring or at other Convenient Seasons Pottage with Clivers Water-crosses Elder-buds Nettle-tops Brooklime Smallage and such like cooling and moderate refreshing Herbs are great Refreshers of Nature gently Cooling and Purging the Blood and keep off Sickness for a long Season though the Bodys of Men and Women have before been Accustomed to them but above all things be Temperate in Eating and Drinking Moderate-in Labour and Exercise for these are main Contributers to Health and indeed we need not be beholding to Out-landish Drugs if we rightly consider we have sufficient of our own and that God in his Goodness has so Ordered it that Nature in every place produces Remedys suitable to the Diseases of the Climate How to Dyet and Order our Bodys for the preservation of Health for every Month in the Year the most Approved Rules IT will among these useful things be highly Necessary to speak something of the Ordering of Man's Body during the Circle of the Year under the several signs and planets that Govern them and dispose to Health or Sickness more at one time than another The first part of the Year that is from the 25th of December till the 25th of March is under Capricorn Aquarius and Pisces Signs partly Moist and partly Dry and those born under them are subject to Diseases of that Nature Therefore from DECEMBER to the end of the Month. Take wholsome Dyet and neither Eat nor Drink Immoderately for fear of Fluxes Rhumatisms Catarrhs or Husky Dry Coughs that Waste and Consume the Lungs let not Blood unless in great Necessity then do it Moderately and keep very Warm rather Bleed often if Necessity require it than two much at once left the Veins filling with Cold Air cause dangerous Diseases and in this as in all the following Months take Care not to Bleed nor purge on the Unfortunate Days which are set down in this Book properly for every Month let your purgings be Gentle and take great Care of Catching Cold. In JANUARY If the Weather be open Necessity requiring it Bleed Moderately as in the former Month but if hard Frosts set in forbear it if possible and Cheer up your Spirits with Wine and Cordials but not to any Excess taking them for the most part in a Morning Fasting and be Temperate in Dyet with Moderate purgations if Necessity require it and so shall you with God's Blessing prevent and escape Sickness observing the Critical Days In FEBRUARY You may this Month if ther be no hard Frosts be more bolder in bleeding than before but not over much purge gently with purging Ales and other purging Drinks and in the Morning Fasting Eat warm Broaths into which such wholsome Herbs as the Season affords have been shred which will purify the Blood Cooling and Refreshing the Body to prepare it for a Healthful Constitution in the Spring and keeping off such Diseases as then are Rife Abroad In MARCH This Month brings in the Vernal Equinox and from the
