afflicted eyther by the Coniunction Quartile or Opposition of the ill fortunes Saturne Mars the sicke shal die chiefly if Iupiter or Venus doe not assist the moone or if she be combust and decreasing in light and motion Also the Dragons taile is of the nature of the ill fortunes but of himselfe hath not the interficient force of Saturne or Mars for as much as it is a line and not a Starre Likewise if the moone be in the via combusta which is from the middest of Libra vntill the middest of Scorpio or vnder the Sunne beames and decreasing in light or motion and applying to Saturne and Mars eyther by coniunction or any aspect chiefly by Quartile or Opposition aspect although their semidiameters onely beholde the semibeames of the moone it threatneth death An example A certaine man fell sicke and tooke his bed the mooone beeing three degrees in Scorpio decreasing in light and motion Mars 13. degrees in Libra and Saturne 27. degrees in Sagitarius and departed when the moone came to the 13. degres of Capricornus To know the times in which the sicke person shall feele ease of his paine or recouer his health HAuing found by the Doctrine aforesaid that the sicke person shall not departe then as often as the moone méeteth with●●● bodie or aspect of the fortunes Iupiter or Venus during the 〈◊〉 of the disease at that instant the sicke person shall bee 〈…〉 eased of his dolorous paines the ill fortunes the contrari● 〈…〉 first obuiating or meeting of Luna with Iupiter or Venus 〈◊〉 a Criticall Iudiciall or Mortall day the diseased person shall beg●● to recouer his health An example Anno Dom. 1605. the 28. of May about 7. of the 〈…〉 the forenoone a certaine friend of mine fell sicke in his Bed th●… Moone being then in the 2. degr of Pisc●s decreasing Mars 18. degrees in Gemini Saturne 23. degrees in Sagitarius Iupiter 26. in Capricornus and Venus 4. degrees in Gemini Now for as much as I finde the Moone to be free from the interficient force of the ill fortunes I iudge the sicke shall not depart yet he was grieuously tormented and afflicted for because the hatefull beames of Mars his Quartile aspect was within the semidiameter of the Moone none of the fortunes did intermeddle their fauorable beames And when the Moone came to the 19. deg of Pisces meeting the Opposition of furious Mars he had a great and mighty fitte of sicknesse almost absolutely depriuing sence and motion Also he was sorely tormented when the Moone came to the 24. degree of Pisces because she then beheld Saturne with a spitefull Quartile aspect after that he began to amend forasmuch as that was a mortall day and Iupiter enuironed the Moone with a friendly Sextile aspect To knowe when and what time the sicke Person shall depart and be grieuously tormented NOW if you finde by the afliction of the Moone at the time the partie fell sicke that he shall dye then on the next mortall day that the Moone meeteth with eyther of the ill fortunes Saturne or Mars by coniunctiō Quartile or Opposition applying to thē either corporally or radiationally the sick shall dye at that day hours in which she commeth to the interficient point of the Zodiake which agreeth to the saying of Ptholomeus in the 16. Aphorisme of his Centiloquiums wherein he saith we must behold the motion of the Moone as she passeth through the Criticall Iudiciall and Mortall daies for if she be in them fortunate it will fall out well vnfortunate the contrarie An example The 17. day of May Anno Dom. 1605. A man fell sicke about a 〈◊〉 of the clocke at night the Moone being then in the 2. degree of Libra Sol in the 6. degree of Gemini Saturne in the 24. deg of Sagitarius Iupiter in the 27. degree of Capricornus Mars in the 10. degree of Gemini and Venus in the 22. degree of Taurus Now I 〈◊〉 the Moone aflicted by the hatefull Quartile aspect of Saturne being scituated within the maleuolous beames of the semidiameter of froward Saturne wherby I iudge that the sicke shall depa●t then entring into the Table of Criticall Iudiciall and Mortall dayes I finde the first mortall day to bee when the Moone commeth to the 27. deg of the said signe of Libra yet for asmuch as that degree is free from the oppression of the ill fortunes I affirme that the sicke shall not dye at that time the Moone commeth to the said signe and degree Therfore I seeke the next dying day which is when the moone commeth to the 12. degree of Sagitarius which being aflicted by the Opposition of Mars collocated in the 14. degree of Gemini I iudge he shall dye when the Moone commeth to the 12. degrée of Sagitarius and so he did Note that during the time and permanence of the sicknesse as often as the Moone meeteth the bodies or ill aspects of the distroyers of nature so often the diseased person shal feele and sustaine very sore panges Furthermore some Astronomers affirme that as long as the Moone decreaseth in motion so long the griefe shal aggrauate and waxe greater and greater But Hyppocrates in Libro de Iudicijs infirmitat secundum lunam saith thus when the sick person taketh his bed you must consider whether the moone departeth out of combustion for then the sicknesse shall increase vntil Luna commeth to Opposition by reason that humors increase in mens bodies and if shee be then with good Plannets it falleth out well with euill the contrarie Of the cause of the disease TO knowe the cause of the disease you must looke with what Plannet the moone is configurated or adioyned eyther by coniunction or aspect and according to the nature and influence of that planet iudge the disease that afflicted the moone The coniuction or any aspect of the ill fortunes doth afflict the Moone and the Quartile and Opposition of Sol and Mercury Now if Sa●●rne or Mercury oppresse the Moone the disease shal be slowe and slacke with lassitude and heauinesse of the limbes insomuch that the sicke shall scarce bee able to stirre his bodie and the disease shall shew it selfe by little and little by coldnes of the bodie with defluction debillitie and obstruction causing the sicke to awake out of his sleepe sodainly or by starts c. The sicke person also as Hermes saith shall be sollitarie silent and fearefull desiring heate warme cloathes and darknesse with often sighing and continual oscitation and yawning the whole superficies of the body will be colde and dry and the pulses little and slow The cure of such is by thinges that disolue and binde But if the Moone at that time the person fell sicke bée afflicted by Mars or the Sunne all the superficies and vpper parts of the body shall be in extreame heat as if they were incensed and kindled with fire The party shall bée very prone and apt to anger crying-out with scritches

To the worthy and renowned Company of Students and professors of the excellent science of Phisicke Iohn Fage wisheth health IVdicious Doctors and professors of the famous and laudable science of Phisicke in token of the inestimable loue good will I beare to this worthy faculty I haue vnto you as the chiefe patrons thereof committed this little Glasse of sick men wherein you may beholde the state and condition of the diseased person soe truely and infallibly as the Arte of Astrologie can certifie being aswel correspondent and agreeable to the sayings of auncient and approoued Authors as by experience and dayly obseruations verified whereof I my selfe haue made sufficient triall as many of my familiar friendes and associates can testifie insomuch that hee which compareth these documents with the iudicials of vrine shall thereby not onely decerne and perceiue the true cause of the disease but also the augmentation relaxation continuance and alteration thereof to good or euill both to the praise and estimation of the arte also the credit profit of the expert Physition assuring you that heerein is nothing written but onely that which hath been taken out of the groundes of Astrologie and agreeable to the sentences of the moste excellentest Physitions And although peraduenture this methode and manner of iudgement dooth seeme hard and difficile to some men at the first aparance yet let no mā be discouraged for with a little reading and perusing it wil soone appeare both plaine easie which being once obtained the commoditie therof will bee verie delectable and profitable And so to conclude if this my labour be acceptable to your learned eares it will encourage me to endeauour to the vtermost of my power both to examplefie this introduction and also to supply you with another treatise which shall fully and largely detect and lay open this manner of Iudicials so in the meane time I commit you and your industrious actions to the protection of the Almightie At Midhurst this 24. of Aprill 1606. * ⁎ * To the Reader LEauing thee diuers and sundrie opinions of many Authors with their mistaken axiomes and vnaprooued sayings as well as the rash boldenesse and presumptuous iudgements of those ignorant persons which eyther by the day of the month the age of the Moone or Plannet then raygning onely doe giue iudgement on the life or death of a sicke person or of the manner of his disease which by their erronious opinions haue brought this famous arte into such and so greate contempt that of the moste part of men it is supposed to be rather a recreatiue inuention then any true and vnfained asscertion I haue Gentle Reader by the helpe of those two excellent Astonomers Ptholomeus and Hermes nourished and brought vp this prole or issue which although it be yet young naked weake and tender yet I hope in consequence of time when it is come to ripenesse of age well cloathed and to his full strength that it will be able to stop the mouth of this hidious monster ignorance which with his violent sting and venemous biting seeketh vtterly to destroy science and learning according to the old prouerbe scientia non habet inimicum nisi ignoranciam So committing this little one into thy fauorable protection I hope thou wilt rather charitably foster it in the lappe of pittie then tyranically and cruelly to destroy it in his infancie Yours to the vttermost of his power Iohn Fage The Contentes of this Booke OF the significator of the sicke body A Table to finde out the Criticall Iudiciall and Mortall diaes Of the Aspects of the

depart or be grieuously tormented Of the cause of the disease What opperation the Moone worketh in euery of the 12. signes being afflicted by the ill fortunes The manner to knowe of what humor or humors the griefe proceedeth The quality of the foure humors and times appropriated vnto them How the 4. humors are distributed in our humaine bodies Infallible signes to discerne of what complection

Pisces Of the significator of the sicke body IT hath beene an order and a custome amongst the most excellentest and wisest Physitions to choose the Moone for the principall significatrix of the sicke person and according vnto her motion scituation and configuration with other Plannets haue giuen iudgment on the increasing mittigation and alteration of the disease For Hippocrates in principio Prognosticorum speaketh of the Moone and sayth in this manner There is a certaine Starre of heauen on which a Phisition must take heed and mark the purueiance thereof is wonderfull and dreadfull Also Galen in commento de diebus criticis saith a Phisition must take heed aduise himselfe of a certaine thing that fayleth not neither deceiueth which the Astronomers of Aegipt taught that is to say when the body of the Moone is ioyned with fortunate starres dreadful and fearfull sicknesse commeth to good end Likewise Astronomers say that among all the other plannets the Moone in ruling hath most power and maistry of mens bodies for as Ptolomeus saith in Libro de iudicijs Astrorum vnder the Moon is contained sicknes losse feare harme and domage therfore about the alteration of mans body the Moone worketh most principally and not with out good cause for as Astronomers affirme she hath dominion and goernment of all liquid moist substances as the water oyle sappe of trées c As the thrice learned Clark Doctor d ee in the 103.
