Art of this is taken out of the first part of Apotelesmatical Constructions called by Ptolemy Catholicon Tetra lib. 1. VVhere he acquainteth his Astrologer in giving Iudgement of the Ascendant of a City to take knowledge of the Sun and Moons place in the Zodiaque which they had at the laying of the Foundation but especially of the Ascendant as the most principal Angle And in p. 32. He further says Now because that in the Nativities of Cities as in the Genitures of Men the Astrology is the same here you see that hard Stone and soft Flesh are under the same Astrological care and cognizance therefore after consideration had of the Life and Being of the City from the Horoscope the next care taken was of the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or part of Fortune the second Ascendant so called in the Figures of Men. And a little before this in p. 31. we meet with a famous Instance of this practice for which we are indebted to this Author and Gauricus that in the Instauration of Rome by Pope Paul the Third Gauricus drew the Figure of the Heavens Vincentius Campanatius observed the time by his Astrolabe toward the Instant whereof he cryed out with a loud Voice Ecce adest hora precisa Decima Sexta feré Then immediately Ennius verulanus the Cardinal laid the first Stone He goes on saying these Catholique Nativities were so much believed by the Antient Kings saith Haly that they enquired into the Genitures of all the principal Nati under their Dominions VVhere if the Planets were found to look with a malicious Eye upon the Nativity of the Kingdom Interficiebant eum puerum quod ejus Regnum erat contra Regnum ipsorum § 111. 'T is possible the Superstition might go too far But allow it to be Superstition and to have over-shot it self yet that there is Truth lodged even in some Superstitious practices these Learned Men and Instances prove And that Ptolemy you see is mistaken and misunderstood by the Author of Cometomantia and so also are the rest of the Learned Astrologers VVhen he with a strange confidence asserts That the most Learned and Iudicious Astrologers have not asserted the Doctrine of Genitures VVhich in opposition to his said Assertion we see they have very remarkably and that not only of Men but of Buildings too Not only of soft Flesh but of hard Stone § 112. And although this practice of the Antient Arabians was by their Superstitious severity abused yet I see not but that very excellent use might be made thereof even among Christians For if any person were found to have a Geniture that should cast a malicious Eye upon that of the Government though I should not give my Vote they should therefore be barbarously or inhumanly Butcher'd Yet sure it were no injury to the principles of Humanity good policy or of Religion to have such persons kept from prejudicing the Government or of rendring it troubled and uneasy by preventing the Advancement of such into places of Trust and Honour For if it be a Truth and sure the Sages of former times were not all Blind that some Persons may be born Enemies to a Government The only way to make them so and prove the Stars true is to capacitate them by Preferment or great places of Trust to disturb and in time destroy it But this is a String ought to be touch'd very tenderly Astrology although it can lay a just Title to many excellent Truths hath not in this Age arrived to that strength of Perfection as to give a casting Vote in the case and it may be will not be able in many Ages to reach unto it And know good Reader that in all things I shall ever Submit but shall never presume to prescribe to Authority § 113. But Secondly Having proved my Antagonist to be mistaken in Ptolemy let us see how far Iunctinus is serviceable to him and his cause The Learned Iunctinus is also an allowed Pillar of Astrology by the Opponent and therefore the better Iudge in the present Controversy And if we but peruse his Speculum Astrology as well his larger as lesser Volumes bearing that Name we shall certainly find him so far from refusing to Ascert the Doctrine of Genitures that he hath as much as any Man nay more than many other Astrologers Install'd and Enfranchis'd the same Vid. Spect. Astrol. Printed at Lyons Anno 1572. And that the truth of this matter may more plainly appear and my Antagonist receive the great satisfaction he may find that this his Chosen Author Iunctinus hath owned the Doctrine of Genitures to be of so Large and Comprehensive an extent as to contain even the Horoscopes of Buildings no less than those of Men of hard Stones as well as of soft Flesh as Ptolomy had done before him In p. 313. of the beforesaid Book this Learned Author in favour of the Nativities of Buildings hath inserted the Nativity of the Noble City of Venice with an Astrological Iudgement thereon Which for the Honour of Astrological Truth and the advantage of Artists and full Conviction of my mistaken Adversary in this Point I will here produce as follows The Nativity of the City of Venice § 141.

have done Me Justice He should have told the World the Truth as I had done which He could not but see and know viz. That that Character was none of Mine but a Quotation made use of by Me and not in such words neither as He mentioned but in words far different as you shall see anon The Author whereof was Mr. now Dr. F. B. a Learned Physician and Astrologer and very well able to defend his own work Whose particular words I will relate together with the Provocation given by Gassendus which occasion'd that Smart but true Animadversion upon his Geniture which himself gave to the Learned Morinus of France § 61. The words which I made use of and annexed to the Nativity of Gassendus are to be found in my Col Geni p. 126. and Printed Anno 1660 viz. I shall not need to observe any more on this Figure then I find already done in an Appendix to an Apology for Astrology published lately by my Loving Friend Mr. Vincent Wing the Author of which Appendix is Mr. F. B. and my very good Friend also who hath responded both like an Artist and Schollar to Gassendus ' s Objections against Astrology For a sight of which I refer the Ingenious Reader to the Appendix it self and shall only present him with what relates to the Scheme viz. Here you may see the Malignant Planets ♄ and ♂ have the chief Dominion in the Scheme ♄ is Lord of his Horoscope peregrine Retrograde and in his Detriment and unfortunate in ♋ which made his Lungs much oppressed with Flegm rotten and corrupt of an ill habit of body very sickly subject to Catarrhs c. That for Manners ♄ in □ of ♂ and both in ill aspect of the Ascendant made him of an evil Disposition Envious Suspitious Revengeful Angry Peevish Contentious Injurious Fraudulent a Lyar a Calumniator an Impostor Covetous a Robber of other Mens Honours a false Friend a perfidious Traytor a notorious Hypocrite an Athiest and to say no worse of him than he does of Mr. Des Cartes though unjustly a Toad swell'd with Pride and malicious Venom as you may see in that Book against Des Cartes and other of his Works As he had ☿ in ⚹ ♂ and in the House of ♄ so he had a wit apt enough for Mischiefs Quarrels and contentions Sharp in Disputation as in □ to the ☽ so it was turbulent enough and had not ☿ applyed to a ⚹ of ♃ also he had been so ill nature'd he had scarce been sociable But that good Aspect gave him so much wit as to dissemble it under Zeal to Religion and make that seem the severity of his Devotion which was the Morosness of his Nature § 62. These are the words contended against by my Antagonist And I will not refuse to confess they seem to sound somewhat harsh and severe what then The ☌ □ or ☠of ♄ and ♂ is a harsh and severe Aspect and that all Astrologers know and so little of the Character could be spared that I might have gone further in this Discription without injury to Astrology and possibly too without the breach of good Manners But yet supposing which I do not grant that the words were too harsh and that the same things might have been express'd in softer terms Yet I must let my Learned Opponent know That it is not customary for any man to speak of his Enemy in the same Key and Character as of his Friend In such a case the Satyr should ever be debar'd the use of his Whip Gassendus had proclaimed War against Astrology injured the innocent Truths and Professors thereof not confuted either It or Them as my Antagonist thinks That 's a task not so easily perform'd as talk'd of But besides what if it be made appear that Gassendus's Rough and Moross dealing by the Truth as well as by Des Cartes hath pull'd this upon him He hath indeed given too broad and too foul a provocation for an Astrologer thus truly to depaint him And that is the second thing I promised to give an account of § 63. 2. The Truth of the matter stands thus Dr. F. B. in reading Gassendus Contra Astrologiam met with many unworthy Provocations Falsifications Scoffs c. against Astrologers which he could not possibly without a mark of Indignation pass by and among the rest of his scornful and contemptuous Expressions These Vnsavory Obscene and Ridiculous words Nor are we to say such an Infant was born infected with a foul and contagious Disease because the sixth House was his Horoscope but because his Mothers lower House was Impure and Infectious Apol. for Astrol. p. 122. In which words here is 1. a great Truth of Art impugned which the Author of the Character hath very well answer'd And 2. a Wity Falshood is made use of in the room of Reason to defend it And can any Artist be patient under such affronts as these Must the poor Astrologer be laughed to scorn by the Waspish Spleenatick Gassendus and not be suffer'd so much as to speak for himself or to reply upon his Adversary without being term'd a Bespatterer of him If Truth offend either Gassendus or my Antagonist I cannot help that nor shall I Trouble my self so far as to make an excuse for the offence The Scandalum Datum is of Gassendus's side He began the Quarrel and was the real Aggressor § 64. But I would fain know to what purpose Gassendus gave his Nativity to Morinus if not to be inspected and Judged by Astrology And if Dr. F. B. meeting with it happen'd to observe the □ of ♄ and ♂ therein and that Artist must be blind that could not was it a crime for him to declare the Effects which naturally Issue from such a position according to the Judgments of Astrologers Or for Me to Quote it from him with approbation when I know he hath written like an Artist What shall Gassendus be suffer'd to Spit against Heaven Scoff at Starry Influences Bespatter the honest Students in that noble Art Make sport at Gods Glorious Host And shall no Man be permitted having his Geniture too as given by himself to acquaint him with Astral Cause of such Drivels May Gassendus as his own Spleen swells be allowed to call the Renowned Cartesius a Toad swell'd with Pride and malicious Venom and for his so fulsome and Anti-Philosophick a Character be esteemed otherwise than Ill-natur'd Had I not seen Gassendus's Nativity I could easily have Judg'd he had had ♄ ill posited upon reading such words in him Ill Water never flows from wholesom Springs § 65. Howbeit I do really love my self to keep within the bounds of Modesty and good Language and good Manners And do heartily wish Gassendus had not given the occasiou for so rough though true a Treatment I can look upon an Ill position in any Man's Geniture with Pity and Compassion rather than Scorn or Derision And bless the God of Heaven that my own
else in this he hath said nothing that I only in my Collection of Genitures subjoyn to Mr. Lilly's Nativity Mr. Lilly's own words and what himself hath said of his having the Moon in Pisces in his Epistle to his Almanack 1645. which he says made him a piece of a good Fellow And this my Antagonist might have seen Quoted by me if he had pleased But none so blind as they that won't see § 101 But where doth my Antagonist find the words Wet and Drinking I am very sure my Book furnisheth him not That was my Opponents own wity addition for the Iests sake And let him be merry with all my heart And if he delight to Burlesque the Truth let him also be as Free with me much good may it do him I cannot suffer in better company § 102. Nay this my Antagonist may if he please find that in my Obsequium Rationabile or defence of Scorpio where I have occasion to bring in the Learned Doctor Fisk's Geniture who also had the Moon in Pisces I very plainly tell Mr. Lilly with a tacit reprehension for his jesting with serious things That the Moon in Pisces signifies something else besides a good Fellow Neither had I of any man any reason to make sport with the Moon in Pisces unless with the Bald Knight in the Apologue I resolv'd to laugh at my self it being one of the best positions in my Geniture and of which I have no cause I bless God to be ashamed § 103. I will now make my Adversary himself Judge whether he hath dealt truely with me in laying at my Door the Levity of another as also his soon after suggesting That such Fancies are oftentimes the products of a Capricious and Fanciful of a Spightful and Malicious Brain Good Sir not too fast Festina lente Fair and softly goes far Either what you have urged against me must be True or False If True I beseech you prove it to be such If False it will appear then that it is not my Brain that is Capricious Fanciful Spightful and Malicious but Yours In pure Justice Sir I expect your Retractation as you are a Clergyman and a Christian. § 104. My Antagonist as if he had been in the right all this while Rears another Story upon the former Sandy-Foundation for me to Demolish affirming thus And for this reason as well as some others particularly because these Men have undertaken to Calculate the Nativities of Buildings as well as of Humane Bodies of hard Stones no less than of soft Flesh the most Learned and Iudicious Astrologers have not ascerted the Doctrine of Genitures although in other things they have defended Astrological Judgements p. 260. Commeto § 105. Would not an ordinary Reader believe there were some Truth at least in a Story so smoothly told And that the Doctrine of Genitures was really Renounced and Reprobated by the most Learned Astrologers How hard is it for any man even the most Learned to oppose the Truth and escape undiscover'd 'T is difficult Learned Sir to kick against These Pricks and not to come off wounded § 106. If I should demand of my Opponent what Learned and Iudicious Astrologers those were which he talks of that have denied the Doctrine of Genitures I am perswaded it would very much puzzle if not confound him to name them Sure he doth not mean Picus Erastus Gassendus Doctor More c. for his Learned and Iudicious Astrologers These have been all Enemies unto the Art and have wrote most violently against it And I am very certain that Ptolemy and Iunctine both which he produces to confront Astrologers and confute their Follies in some things can be none of the Persons he means for both of Them very largely Assert the Doctrine of Genitures Yes and those of Buildings too Of hard Stone no less than of soft Flesh. And this I hope most fully to prove from them if that will satisfie the Learned Objector Who sure talks at this strange Rate not that he believes what he says but only to try what acquaintance I have with those Learned Authors and how able I am to defend the Art I profess § 107. First then for Ptolemy the Prince of Astrologers as this Antagonist most truely Stiles him That he is no renouncer of the Doctrine of Genitures but on the contrary a great Friend to the Genethliacal part of Astrology as the Third and Fourth Books of the Quadripartite most egregiously prove For in them he Handles the whole Art of Nativities And what thinks my Antagonist can this be true and yet he no Friend to the Subject Let but my Opponent seriously or indeed but cursorily consult those Books and if he please Cardan and Naybode their Commentaries upon them and he will quickly find cause to Retract this his Rash and Vnadvised Ascertion And if he do not take all Genethliaques for Mad-men or Fools and my self for the greatest among them he would never sure once offer'd to have impos'd such an Ascertion upon the World to believe and upon Me to answer § 108. A little further the Centiloquium which my Adversary allows to be Ptolemy's and makes use of it as such for Proof of his Doctrine of Comets c. abounds with Genethliacal Aphorisms And among the rest the 36 and 54 Aphorisms do evince most plainly the Nativities of Buildings proving to us that hard Stone no less than soft Flesh is liable to Caelestial Energy Hear how he speaks in opposition to my Learned Adversary thus Aph. 36. In Condendis Vrbibus stellis Fixis quae conferre habeunt utere In aedificandis vero Domibus Erraticis i. e. In the Building of Cities 't is necessary to make use of the Fixed Stars But in the Construction of Houses the Planets Now unless my Opponent can affirm and prove that Houses and Cities are not such things as cousist of hard Stone Ptolemy hereby proves them subject to the Influences of the Stars Again in Aph. 54. Dominatores in aedificationibus ubi copulantur stellae subterraneae edificii erectionem impediunt i. e. VVhen the principal Lords or Governours of Buildings are joyned to Planets Subterranean they impede the progress of them These are Ptolemy's words in his Centiloquium allowed by my Adversary VVhat thinks he now Doth Ptolemy deny the Doctrine of Genitures whether it be of hard Stone or soft Flesh Or not I cannot now methinks forbear blushing for my Antagonist § 109. And to strengthen this Argument a little more I shall here beg leave to borrow a few Lines from that excellent Divine and Philosopher Mr. Iohn Gregory of Christ-Church Oxon which will prove a great Ornament to Astrology and also to the Question under Debate § 110. The Ascendant of a City saith this excellent man from Haly is that Sign cujus ascensione quis incipit collocare primarium Lapidem which riseth in the Horoscope at the laying of the first Stone Notes on Script p. 30. He likewise affirms that the
Valetudinary and must therefore be useful and effective to Mankind in the One sence as well as the Other we being subject to both equally § 136. No! says my Antagonist that must not be admitted For then we allow of and introduce Horary Questions A thing Ptolemy is against if at least my Opponent do not mis-represent him But Sir are you sure that Ptolemy is against Horary Questions Yes saith he not only in the First Aphorism as you have heard but in the Fifth too Which runs in these words Potest qui seieus est multos stellarum effectus avertere quando naturam earum noverit ac seipsum ante illorum eventum praeparare A wise Man may avert many not all the effects of the Stars when he knowing their Natures doth happily Arm and prepare himself before the happening of the Event § 140. I am glad my Antagonist alloweth the Centiloquium to be Ptolemy's for by that Concession I am arm'd powerfully to demand of him how he knows Ptolemy to be against Horary Questions For if the Centiloquium be his the Question is at an End Let him be pleased to peruse these several Aphorisms of Ptolemy seriously at his leasure viz. the 14.17.28.32.45.57.64.83.90.91.93.94.97 And then tell me whether Ptolemy doth Reprobate the Doctrine of Horary Questions And let him also consider what will become of all his Florid Nothings written against them § 141. But I beseech you Sir what Astrologer is he who pretends in opposition to Ptolemy to foretell particular Events As for the several seeming Musical Objections here brought if they are rightly consider'd and examin'd there is nothing of Harmony in them If by his Individual couple in Marriage he means a couple already Contracted It is then no Question in Astrology if they are not contracted they are no Individual couple So that the Objection is as Dr. H. More says of Astrology a mere Sonorous Nothing § 142. Then for the Seamans Voyage objected no man sure was ever so Mad as to pretend to Praedict the particular Events thereof The Astrologer can only consult in the General whether Successful or unkind He cannot tell how far Successful or disadvantageous He may as well pretend particularly to know when he shall arrive at Cales Lisbon Iamaica c. which I acknowledge with Ptolemy is not Science but Witchcraft to do But I hope to satisfie the World in this Point more fully in my Astrological Seaman In the mean time I shall adventure to affirm that § 143. He that contends against Horary Questions are vouches Ptolemy for his Authority doth nothing but Fish in the Air And we may easily guess what a Fry he is like to catch or be Master of § 144. I wonder that any man of Learning should offer to use Ptolemy thus But this is of an equal Stamp and Currency for Truth with his being brought in to oppose the Doctrine of Genitures as well of Men as of Buildings Poor Ptolemy you see is dealt ill by in both And much worse than my Antagonist charges Me to have dealt with the Learned Gassendus I would advise all Persons for the future that shall pretend to write against Horary Questions First to consult Haly and Bonatus those Learned and Volluminous Authors who of all Others have most liberally Ascerted and most largely Taught them And when they have fairly refuted these Two I will then say They may be called the Cozen-Germans of Hercules In the mean time we will keep unto the Truth of what Ptolemy warrants concerning Horary Questions and to what our Assiduous practice confirms and that sometimes even to Amazement § 145. Having found how unfit Ptolemy is for the ungrateful service which my Author hath put him upon we will hear what he says from Iunctine And here he acquaints us for the support of the present Objection That p. 164. Iunctine says Those Astrologers who will needs know and praedict all kinds of particulars are Fools Marry and so say I. And what Astrologer is there doth my Adversary suppose that will offer to gainsay Honest Junctinus in this For my own part I shall be so far from denying it that I will even adventure to add to it and enlarge Iunctinus's Censure of such kind of Men viz. They are not only the greatest of Fools but of Mad-men too For what is a poor simple Man whose Breath is in his Nostrils and cannot absolutely promise himself to meet the Sun the next day vile Dust and Ashes that he is What is he I say That he should dare presume to Predict all Things To do so is the Priviledge of a Deity only And although some advantage may be derived to Men from Horary Questions yet no Man was ever yet so Bold and Daring yet some have been too much guilty of the Bold extremity as to pretend to know and praedict All Particulars § 146. Some there are we know even in this Age as well as in Iunctines time that may possibly have screw'd their Pegs too high and may have strained their Art to Pretences unjust and unlawful Let Them answer for Themselves I will be none of Their Advocate I am sure the Honest Astrologer that makes Truth his Aim and not Worldly advantages will never become one of Iunctines Fools For he as all the Honest Arabians were wont will begin and pursue his practice not with an impudent positiveness but with a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and an humble wary hopes and probability of meeting an effect of the matter in Question § 147. But my Antagonist being in good humour says the same unhappiness attends the Noble professions of Law and Physick as doth Astrology and also that Divinity it self is not free from such Misfortunes And why then should One be recriminated upon and made chargeable with the injury more than another since all are equally liable Let the Sober Honest men of all professions be encouraged and the Knaves and Abusers of Science only condemn'd and exploded For so it becomes Men to Act. § 148. It is a great Favour afforded us by the God of Stars that we know any thing at all of the Caelestial Movers and of their Influences And we ought to be modest in our Dealing with those Dazling Glorious Creatures the Stars We have Nimble Sharp Quick-sighted Adversaries who are coustantly upon the Watch and lye in Ambush to Ensnare us § 149. We know the Influences of the Stars are not as Iunctine wisely and worthily observes like the commands of the Praetors but may in some measure at least be resisted by Ptolemy 's wise Man For they are in subjection to the command and will of God their Creator even as we our selves But yet for all this we know there is verity in Horary Questions provided the Scheme be Radical and by the Artist honestly considered and Judged And also that they are defended and taught by Ptolemy and as he hath made appear no where denyed by Iunctine Both which Anthors my Antagonist is pleased to take for his Seconds in this Quarrel although they stand him in no stead but have both failed to own him and his Cause § 150. If my Antagonist will still continue to impugne the Doctrine of Genitures and Horary Questions and yet allow of Astrology as you see he doth what a strange kind of Astrology will he leave us or what a Monster will he make this Noble Art appear might he be allowed thus to Lacerate it He would afford us an Astrology but what sort of one we know nor He will be content to indulge us the Name of Astrology for the matter or substance thereof we must like Diego's Legatees find that where we please § 151. Let my Learned Antagonist before he Destroy our Principles shew us his own write his Introduction and give us such Rules as he would have us to follow And if they appear to be better truer and more Solid than Those we have already I do hereby promise him to become his Disciple I am sure he is a Gamaliel in other things at whose Feet I should not be ashamed to sit and Learn For I profess my self now after a more than XXX years Study to be but an Enquirer still and I fear me must be content so to die Non obstante any new Discoveries my Antagonist shall please to make therein § 152. My Antagonist hath but one Lash more at me as I can find and that is in p. 270. In these words Those Astrologers who are subject to a bad Fate though their Skill may be good are apt to Err in their Iudgements it is one of the Aphorisms in Gadbury a ticklish business indeed We had need first consult Mr. Astrologers Nativity before we desire him to search into our own In answer whereto I demand doth He think it impossible for an Astrologer to be liable to a bad Fate If He do my before-mention'd late unhappy Troubles at my Cost resolves his Doubt Nor is there any need for Him to consult Mr. Astrologers Nativity before he go to him Common Fame will inform him whether he be Labouring under good or bad Influences as it doth of a Lawyer Physician Merchant c. But to retort his witty Quibble if himself be ignorant of Astrology to what purpose would he consult the Astrologers Nativity If he understand it Then may he be his Own Astrologer and save the labour of going any where else Oh! the wondrous Wit of an Enemy to Astrology What a ticklish business hath he got by the end to make himself Sport withal or rather to render himself a Sport to Others If neither Divine Physician or Lawyer be at all times equally capable of giving Sound and Vnerring Advise or Council Then neither is the Astrologer Sed verum prius Ergo c. And thus we have freed our other Innocent Aphorism again and do affirm it as before for a splendid Verity § 153. I have now done and that something more than at First I intended and it may be more than my Antagonist expected And shall leave his more numerous Objections against Astrology in General to be answered by some more able Pen and Brain Resting satisfied to have said thus much or little rather in defence of my self and Labours which I found most unjustly and unreasonably assaulted FINIS
