the quantity or quality thereof breaks out violently The which Hippocrates seemeth also to grant Lib. 4. de Morbo saying Conturbatur homo dumfebricitat cujus reisignum est quod horror aliàs atque ailàs per corpus transcurrit The Ext●●nal cause is from some Alteration of the Spirit or Air namely when the Humours are changed from what they were by Nature as from a Cold to a Hot or from a Dry to a Moist condition contra For Hippocrates Aphoris 6. and elsewhere in his Book De Nat. Hum. tells us that Heat and Moisture in the Body move forward the Crises For saith He some Diseases proceed from naughty Dyet others from the Air we attract by means whereof we Live Wherefore Dyet as it breeds such and such Humors is the Internal and Air attracted the External cause of the Crisis That the Qualities are alter'd by the Influence of the Stars and especially the Luminaries is a thing not now to be doubted it being sufficiently apparent in the four seasons of the year how the Air with all Plants and Animals c. do diversly admit of Alteration and therefore the Watry Humors and the Spirit being Aerial are observed to operate more when they are excited than otherwise As when the Harp is touched it moves men to Dancing when the Trumpet Sounds to War like Employments Hence it appears that the universal Cause of all Crises is the Influence of the Heavens For the Coelestial Bodies by their Heat Light Motion and Configuration or Aspects to which St. Augustine adds Afflatum that is Inspiration or Instinction and St. Thomas Aptitudinis Efficaciam a virtual Aptitude or fitness do rule and govern not only the Four Elements but all Elementary Bodies and especially Man from the very first Moment of his Birth until the Ultimate Minute of his Death inciting him sometimes to Mirth another while to Sorrow now to be Sick anon Well again For as Aristotle saith Ex irroratione Coelorum felicia infaelicia germinantur in Terris c. But as touching the Efficient Radical cause thereof the Philosophers making a deeper Scrutiny thereinto do attribute it to the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or Unity as that which primarily and radically governs the whole Universe as the Agent and first Act from which by which and into which all things are at length Resolved Wherefore the Pythagoreans named the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or Unity Apollo because that as from Unity all Numbers take their Original and Encrease So are all things not otherwise than from One alone Surely the same Act which is the Word works centrally and alone from the Center to the Circumference for God is contained in the Heavens as a Center is within its Circle but by a different manner according to the variety of the Subject whereon it appears The Form or Essence of the Agent not being changed which is always Permanent and the same Wherefore it is evident that there is but only One Agent in every Region of this World and but only One Act of his yet divers and sundry Effects according to the manifold condition of the Organical Subject the thing Receiving or Suffering Whereof more in Dr. Flud in Cris. Mysterio There are two Principal sorts of Crises the One as in Acute Diseases and Lunar The Other in Chronical Diseases and Solar Such Crises as take their Original from their proper Principle or from an Internal cause as do the Crises Synochorum depend upon the Motion of the Moon But such as Proceed from the Air or from an External Cause as do the Crises of all Pestilential Feavers are govern'd both of the Sun and Moon Of the Sun if respect be had of the year if of the Month only then of the Moon Wherefore Acute diseases follow the Motion of the Moon and her configurations or Aspects to the place she was in at the first beginning of the disease But here we must Note that in Acute Diseases the Aspects or Radiations of the Moon viz. her Quartiles and Oppositions are not to be counted as if they should begin from her Conjunction with the Sun but from the degree and minute she is in at the Beginning of the Disease until her return to the same Radical Point which is performed in 27 days 8 hours or thereabouts Of Acute Diseases some are Acuti simpliciter simply Acute some Acuti 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 seu Decidentia or from Mutation and Degeneration some Peracuti very Sharp others Perperacuti Exceedingly Sharp Acuti simpliciter are they which from the 8. to the 10 11 14 20 and 21 day Run to the very height some whereof are called Menstrui because absolved within the space of a Lunar Month. Acuti ex decidentiâ from Diminishing or Degeneration are such as are judged imperfectly For sometimes they wax worse in respect of the Symptoms and are sometimes Remitted according as the Moon meets with the Good and Evil Aspects of the Good or Bad Planets And oftentimes they Degenerate from being Acute and become Chronical As when a Pleurisie turns into an Empiema or an Ulcer in the Breast So when a Quotidian Feaver becomes a Hectick or from an Intermittent degenerates into a Quotidian Contrà And these Diseases are judged within 40 Days Peracuti are such as are judged the 5 6 7 and 8 days in which number are the Febres causones Synochae Cholera Angina Peripneumonia Lethargus and the like Perperacuti be such as are absolved within the Space of 3 days or 4 at the utmost and in that time terminated either with Recovery or Death of which sorts are all Pestilential Feavers the Apoplexy Pleurisie Phrensie c. Chronical Diseases follow the Motion of the Sun Acquiring a Crisis after the 40 th day and Judgment when the Sun attains to the Quadrates as is Evident in Hectiques Dropsies and Quaternaries When he comes to the Sextiles and Trines there are only some Indicative Motions made of such Effects as follow in the Opposition Nevertheless they are oftentimes Anticipated or Protracted according as the Planets he meets with help or hinder and for the better if by Nature those Planets be Benevolent if Malevolent for the worse And the like we are subject to in the whole course of our Lives Nam Morbus est Modus vitae Partialis as Campanella Lib. 4. Medicinal most ingeniously observes Moreover the Crises are thus generally distinguished viz. Salvae Dubiae seu suspiciosae Judicatae seu periditatae non Judicatae Crisis Salva or safe is that which happens without any great and Pernicious Accidents Crisis Dubia doubtful or Suspicious which appears with great and Pernicious Accidents and is the most dangerous Crisis Judicata or Hazarded is when on the 4 th day the Signs of Concoction do appear and therefore p●aesage the Disease to be judged on the Seventh day Crisis non judicata or not Judged is when the Crisis is absolved the Seventh day yet was not to be Judged the Fourth

mutatis autem temperamentis mutantur mores mutatis moribus Principum Subditorum Sequitur mutatio Reip. Heaven saith he most effectually Operates upon a Human Body best agreeable to it self and so also on the Body both of the Prince himself and his Subjects to wit so as that it changeth the Temperaments of Mens Bodies and with those Temperaments their manners or conditions and the manners or conditions of Princes and Subjects being changed a mutation of the Commonwealth followeth And with him agrees that excellent Mathematician and Astrologer Origanus part 3. Membr 2. Cap. 1. Non modo in Regnis varias mutationes translationes animadvertimus dum modo hos modo illos Regnare atque aliis Dominari comperimus verum etiam in ipsa superficie terrae nihil esse perpetuum ex collatione temporum locorum Siccum humido humidum sicco permutari terrasque alias aquis aboleri alias assurgere deprehendimus We Observe not only sundry Changes and Translations of Kingdoms whilst these and these Planets reign and bear Rule with others but also that upon the whole surface of the Earth there is nothings perpetual and by comparing of Times and Places perceive Siccity chang'd into Moisture Moisture to Siccity some Countries destroy'd others increas'd by Waters Thus He and that very truly For although God the Author of Nature and the First Cause of every Good thing changes Countries and Transfers Kingdoms at his pleasure yet seeing he hath engraven in the Book of Nature and chiefly in Heaven which measureth Times the Motions and Mutations of all things things that be Invisible even his own eternal Power for the greatest part yea and exposed Heaven unto our view that it might be for signs of Present and Future things I shall not think it contrary to true Religion or Good Manners if with Fear and Reverence I enquire the Superior Natural Causes of those Mutations so long as I ascribe no necessity thereunto Maugre the Croaking and Coaxation of some few Epileptique Prophets and other Religious Lunatiques who prate and perswade the Contrary The First Cause is the Change of the Absides of the Planets whereby the Five Planets together with the Sun transfer the Places in which they are highest and most remote from the Center of the Earth so also the Places wherein they are lowest and nearest thereunto and together with those Places their swiftness and slowness of Motion into several parts of the Zodiaque according to the succession of the Signs whereof Cardan Seg. 1. Aph. 37. in these words Permutationes Absidum Regna Regiones Religiones mutant Changes of the Absides alter Kingdoms Regions and Religions Thus from the Change of Saturn's Absis into Cancer Mahomet had his growth and by the Change thereof into Capricorn the Sign Opposite thereunto receives he Detriment and at length a final Destruction Spinaeus an Excellent Astrologian and Physician to the Duke of Mantua in his Catastrophe Mundi Genuinely English'd by the Polite Quill of my Oaken Friend Elias Ashmole Esq tells us that Mahomets Destruction initiated Anno 1630 c. and this he chiefly deduces from the Change of Saturn's Absi● out of Sagittary into Capricorn which indeed I confess fell out according to the Prutenick Tables in the end of the year 1630. But by the more accurate observations of lat●r Authors the Absis of Saturn continues in Sagittary for many years yet to come For by the Philolaique Tables the best extant it enters not Capricorn until the beginning of the year 1728. and therefore it could not in the least be unless we will have the Effect precede its Cause that Mahomets Destruction commenc'd in this respect in or near the year 1630. Nevertheless I believe with Spinaeus that the many Revolutions of the Heavens in and about that year have already produced a sensible Commencement of Detriment unto him yet conclude not his final Destruction until after the year 1728. Wherein Saturns Absis will be Changed into Capricorn and that several other Causes concur to extirpate him and his Law There is no other change of the Absis of any Planet falling out in our time save only the Absis of Mars and this happen'd according to Bullialdus in the latter end of the year 1647. which was from Leo to Virgo and what a strange mutation ensued the year following viz. A Dissolution of the English Monarchy c. the whole World can witness which very thing signally confirms that of Ludovic de Reg. Aph. 9. Mutantur Regna Dominia Fides Sectaeque ac opiniones hominum dum mutantur Auges Planetarum de signo in signum dico illarum gentium quarum significator erit Planeta Augis permutatae Kingdoms and Governments Faith Religions and Opinions of Men are changed when the Auges or Absides of the Planets are changed from one Sign to another I mean the Kingdoms Governments Faith Religions and Opinions of such Nations as have for their significator the Planet whose Auge is changed Now all men know who know any thing of this Nature that Aries is the Ascendant and Mars Lord thereof the significator of England and so he is of France Germany Denmark and several other places who are herein no less concern'd than the English as a few years will assuredly manifest Mutatioque erit ad bonum vel malum secundum Naturam significatorum superiorum illorum temporum secundum Naturam signi mutationis And this change saith that same Author and Aphorisme shall be to Good or Evil according to the Nature of the chief significators of those times and Sign of Mutation We know Saturn Mars and Mercury have born the greatest sway in almost every Eclipse Revo●ution and other notable Configurations of the Planets 〈◊〉 and since that year especially in Two of the Three Eclipses of 1652. and in the great and Total Eclipse Anno 1653. in March And as for the Sign into which this change was made it is Virgo the principal house of Mercury a Cold and Dry Melancholy Barren Sign whereby we may easily judge of what Nature the Change is I spare to Expatiate Another Cause is the Change of the Sun's Eccentricity described of Copernicus cap. 20 lib. 3. Revol by the Motion of a little Circle having the Center of the Eccentrick in its Circumference and finishing its Period in 3434 years The year 1653. Offers it the least that can be according to Rheinoldus and Copernicus being 32190. such parts as the Eccentrick hath 1000000 or Part 1. 55′ 53″ 24‴ where the Semidiameter of the Suns Eccentricity hath 60. The greatest viz. 2° 3● 7″ happen'd 36 years before Christ about the beginning of the Roman Monarchy Georgius Joachim●● Rheticus callled this Circle the Wheel of Fortune by whose Revolutions saith he the Monarchies of the world assume their Commencements and Changes For like as the Roman Empire obtain'd its Highest Dignity when the Eccentricity was greatest so the same decreasing it is very much Impaired
