A THEATER OF THE PLANETARY HOVRES FOR ALL DAYES OF THE YEARE Wherein may be gathered from the earth vnder the Coelestiall influences divers sorts of hearbs rootes leaves barkes flowers fruits seedes stones animals c. for the vse of Physick whereby both suddenly and happily infirmities may be Cured The evils too are set downe that happen and are caused by the seuen Plannets The friendship and hatred betwixt them the Sunne rising and to finde the determinate houre of it A worke not onely curious and delightfull but likewise necessary for Physitians and all curious spirits Composed by George Simotta a Grecian of Constantinople Spagirick Physitian to Monsieur brother to his Majestie of France Translated out of Greeke into French and now into English fitted to our Calculation Printed at London by August Matthewes and are to be solde by GEORGE BAKER neere Charing Crosse at the Signe of the White Lyon 1631. TO THE RIGHT Worshipfull Sir ROBERT AETON Secretary to the Queenes most Excellent Maiestie SJR I Here presume to present you with a small thing which stands in neede of a Patron of such worth as your self considering that both this time and place are so much giuen to callumniate censure and depraue euen the best of Works of what nature so euer I craue your worthy Patronage in respect it is a Stranger lately come from France put into this English habite by one which was sometime yours and sent thus into publique view by him that by your daily and frequent fauours you haue made your though vnworthy Seruant GEORGE BAKER A THEATER OF THE PLANETARY HOVRES FOR ALL THE DAYES OF THE YEARE HIs divine Majestie out of the inevacuable source of his vncreated wisedome by his infinite providence in the Creation of this great vniverse did establish all the creatures for his glory and the benefit of men In so much that the earth his foo stoole embellished with so many beautifull creatures doth abound in plants hearbs trees seedes barkes woods gummes iuices mettalls mineralls and demy-mineralls All as Moyses saith in the first of his Genesis Vt ijs subinde ad propulsandos morbos vteretur ab Adam propagata soboles That Adams progenie might vse them to preserue health And the living creatures in so many severall kindes have peopled the Sea filled the ayre and inhabited the earth vnder the government of men to whom as to their Soveraignes they ought to be as subjected and the heavens replenished with a thousand glittering lights the cover of this lower world by their motions and light being governed by the commandement of the supreame mover send downe their powers on men by intelligences moving the opinions of sacred Theologians as Richardus in his second booke Art 3. quest 3. and also Saint Bonaventure and Saint Thomas who will that the highest or Empyreall heaven doth infuse some effects into our lower earth It is most certaine that the supreame Creator hath ordained the heavens as all the other creatures not onely for mens present benefit but for that to come that if the heavens did not infuse on vs it were enough to destroy that most great principle of our Religion And Damas in his 3. booke Chap. 22. saith in this behalfe Impossibile est aliquam substantiam expertem esse naturali operatione vsui hominum conference ergo c. It is impossible that any substance can bee voyde of some naturall operation conducing to the profit of men therefore c. The Theologians gather from the heavens three sorts of influences appropriated to the three faculties of our immortall soule The starrie heaven with all the first and wandring starres powre their influences into the Vegetative the Empyreall into the Reasonable and the Christaline or first mover infuse into the Sensitive neverthelesse none of these influences can force our liberty although the heavens send them the one by their motions the others by their light and the others by their vertue So the Empyreall heaven without moving its selfe sendeth downe its vertue here belowe notwithstanding that it be distant from vs so farre that according to Beda in his booke De imagine mundi from the earth to the firmament there are three hundreth thousand one hundreth and twenty five leagues And from that to the Empyreall heaven are ten hundreth millions of leagues But to say truth if it be not by revelation from God no certaine measure can be determined I conclude A majore ad minus from the greater to the lesser that since the influences doe descend from such a height by a more strong reason may they come from the heavens that are neere vs all which influences are not in the heavens by their nature but by their effects as the Astrologians say If Saturne be colde the cause proceedeth from his motion which is slowe and lingring and for that he is so farre distant from vs and doth not end his course but in thirty yeares according to the same Beda Now the other planets that are of more speedy motion and doe as it were with a swift and rapid course and in little time make their Revolution are hot and dry as Sol and Mars But what availeth it vs to bring so farre fetcht reasons Since that so neere vs these effects are declared vnto vs so evidently in the foure elements in the living creatures in the plants in the sea in the ayre in cutting sawing gathering grafting and over all the creatures So that if man know not the reason of these things hee ought to seeke it in the myracles of nature To the end then that every one may the better know how to make vse of these operations even in matter of Physick they must chuse the dayes the houres the plants vnder such favourable aspects and agreeable influences of the Starres as can by their agreeable vertue give health vnto the sicke for the Planets and fixed Starres doe cause all infirmities wherefore they must chuse the Planet that is enemie to that Planet that brought forth that evill and so by the contrary effect put it away and dissolue it Wherefore Arnauld of Villeneufe in his booke De simplicibus Medicina saith these words Ad hoc vt ipsae herbae flores radices semina habeant singularem virtutem proprietatem ad morbos tollendos sunt Colligenda secundum diversa signa Zodiaci quia citius foelicius operantur in morbis Moreover that the very hearbs flowers rootes and seeds may have a singular vertue and quality to remove diseases they are to be gathered according to the severall signes of the Zodiack because so they doe more speedily and succesfully worke on diseases For which cause first I have thought good to set downe the Planets in order and the infirmities that are caused by them Secondly the certaine houre of the Sunnes rising every day in the yeare to the end that you may easily finde out the houre wherein you are to gather or take the plants stones or animals to cure
