A42876	Astro-meteorologica, or, Aphorisms and discourses of the bodies cœlestial, their natures and influences discovered from the variety of the alterations of the air ... and other secrets of nature / collected from the observation at leisure times, of above thirty years, by J.

is at hand to help on the Lunar Effect But at the Mercurial ☌ with the ☉ the ☽ may be two three four Signs distant § 36. It may be observed again that the Antients make ☿ more a Windy than a Rainy Planet whereas we seem to make him for Rain more then Winds contrary to the mind of the Antients I answer I have not travelled the world over neither with Columbus or Linschoten our Drake or Cavendish and so cannot make an universal Observation It cannot be expected otherwise that I speak for our Climate only being apt to believe that the Antients spoke nothing but Truth relating also to their Climate Mercury in the more Southern dryer parts may be more windy and less for Moisture but where moisture more abounds the contrary may obtain in our Septentrional Countries yet what if I should grant the Antients their Plea that He is moist with a touch of dryth I am concerned chiefly for his Influence in general § 37. I have not travelled I say but I have not so few Friends but that I can present them with some gleanings of Nautical Observation which on the Seas part will justifie our Planets Character for Wind and let it be a necity to enquire to which of these our Planet chiefly inclines and so that Scruple may be baffled § 38.

Thus far for the East Indies in the good ships called the London the Experiment Whose worthy Commander was my justly Dear Friend I could add the like for the West Indies Voyages but these may suffice the Observations lye indeed with some interruption some Conjunctions being not noted but none on our part having given a faithful Account wherever the journal related his Story § 40. Here I object to my self that all this ramaging of Sea Instances doth not prove that our Dear ☿ is yet a Windy Planet by the gales of Wind ascribed to him because these Gales we know last the Mariner from the Time he hath first set sail to his very Port but the ☌ ☉ ☿ doth not last all that while not for so many Months as the East India Voyage requires § 41. Therefore I answer the Objection seems reasonable but it only seems so for want of Experience or the Knowledge of the true State of the Question For the Question is not whether the ☌ ☉ ☿ is the only Aspect which raises Wind But whether ☿ be not rightly Character'd by the Antient Astrologers for such a Faculty If so then wherever he is configurate with ♂ or ♃ or ♀ he may do the like He may yea and he doth as will be seen in its Place Nor do we assert ☿ the only Planet who is so qualifyed the Aspects of the ☽ we have seen have their Winds along with them So what with One Aspect

Character after he hath told us that ♄ ♂ ♄ ☽ ♄ ☉ are cold and windy and help to inspissate the Air even to according to his Principles the Framing of a Comet he adds that the Opposition of ☉ and ♄ may Thunder I 'le promise you if ♂ stands by and consents apud Senec. N. Quest Lib. VII in the same tone is Servius also § 8. That which may be made out by our Table is the Cold the Frost the close muddy dark Air or Misty or Hazy as Ptolemy and Albumazar agree For that I have said is the Humiditas Horizontis found in the Mamareth of Sol over ♄ Eschuid fol. mihi 33. §This Character I say may be made out for though the Definition as worded in the Antients makes a great Noise of Frigus Horrendum and Sickness and Famine and Murrains of Beasts yet this is to be understood not in our Country nor of every Conjunction at what time of the year soever but of those only where the Planet hath Dominion i. e. some advantages by its Situation in respect of the Earth a Dead-Winter Sign suppose or the like under which Notion no man of Sence can deny Dominion but must admit it for Antiquities sake at least as a tolerable Experiment And not without season for if the ☽ and the Stars govern the Night and that be well said because the Night is the more illuminate by their presence than the ☉ and ♄ when in a Hyemal Conjunction govern the Winter because Wintee is the Colder for that familiarity So far am I am Arab. § 9. For how comes it that in Decemb. A o 1667. you meet with Horrid Frost and January 1667 which is the very next Syzygie Bitter Frost and Jan. 1669. and Febr. 1670. if you please to consult the Table and how comes it that the Frost grows upon every ☌ ♄ ☉ as it descends by ♏ ♐ gradually towards the Winter Tropique where usually not always I confess for February and March perhaps is capable of a Saturnine Cold usually I say you meet with long fierce tiring Winters § 10. That this should be most apparent to our good Readers we have begun the Table at the Close of September that all the Winter Months might lye together and be first presented Which Division reaches from Michaelmas to April 22. such a Portion of the year being capable of Snow may be reckoned Winterly Now if it be observed I say How Frosty Mornings or Days grow upon our Clime in those Months wherein ♄ accompanies the ☉ so that when he comes to ♑ and ♒ we may look for hard Winters whatsoever may hap at other times He may acknowledge that the Frost starts in the oftner upon such advantage § 11. What if in August Month we meet a Frost and the First Frost of the Year I hope though we stand not much upon that under the ☌ ☉ ♄ See the Table ☌ ☉ ♄ intra Grad 10. Hyemal part A o 1657.

Sun runs in September there may be ample space for a Glorious Iris to embrace the Spectators while ♄ ♀ ♂ ☿ ♃ all in ♍ or concerned thereabout stand and look on nevertheless we are not over-fond to impute our Concentrick Irides to this Aspect for ♄ ♂ and ♀ being in ♊ we do not see how they can overcast a Secondary Iris upon the First form'd by the Sun the Sun being in grad 9. ♌ but whether ☿ cannot being within 14 degrees of the Sun That I question Yea it may be that ♄ ♀ ♂ and the Rest may qualifie the Vapours more than draw it up make it Light and Tepid more apt to take Colour as I may say For what is the reason that we have fewer Rainbows in the Winter than in Summer is it not because the Winter Moisture is not of so rare and pellucid consistence as the Summer Drop The Drop is more Clumsie Dense and Icy not so apt to imbibe or reflect the Light whence there is no Iris ever observed from a Snowy yea or a Sleeting Cloud Thus far therefore all Aspects of Warmth contribute toward the Rainbow § 16. We remember ♄ heretofore help't to send us Hail the same is He complicated with ♀ Here and There in some certain Places we hear of it under this Aspect more especially Mar. 16. 1672. June 1.

So let us remember ♀ who in certain Signs I find viz. from ♉ to ♏ kindles Meteors tayl'd and trayn'd Meteors but more frequently breaks out into Lightning and Thunder as in all those Days where the Hail is mentioned yea and many others not unfit to be noted according to their Signs § 18.

These Instances ought not to be dissembled because few give us any Item of Thunder and Lightning from ♄ and ♀ no nor from Fiery Signs whereas in these Signs preceding ♄ and ♀ can Work at the Forge or some Hireling for them § 20. Further Disputing about the Signs let it be referred to its place In the mean time no body is such a Brute as to deny ♌ to be a Fiery Sign the Evidence now brought will speak to it But where is ♈ and ♐ 2ly What have we to do with Earthly Signs ♉ surely was never Dry nor ♍ over Cold. 3ly What if a Sign be Airy and Watry too ♉ for one 'T is impossible Lastly That any one Sign should equally partake of any one Character when as one and the same Sign ♈ suppose by all Men's confession shall be moist in some parts rather than others Therefore 't is the Multitude of the Fixed and the Situation of the Arch of the Zodiack and the various Relation to the VII Planets produce Fiery Watry Windy Influences § 21. If ♄ ♀ and ☉ be in the same Sign there may be Thunders Nay rather if ♄ and ♀ be at a Sign or Two Distance before or after This Table shews a Storm is impending If ♄ and ♀ be in ♊ when the ☉ is in ♌ as above A o 1678. or be in ♌ when the ☉ is almost in ♎ as A o 1681. 1683. such a Conjunction like a Knot in a piece of Timber makes the Piece the Stronger which hath its due Strength and Weight in the other unknotty parts precedent or subsequent § 22. If any shall say that this agrees not with the Premises where we term'd this Aspect one of the gentlest Configurations we answer we speak only comparatively in relation to those who are more brisk and active and have reason so to be § 23. But if again it be said we had no such doings in ☌ ☉ ♄ as if we made this the more Masculine Aspect we have said what we could to such Objection in the precedent Chapters so the Table follows ☌ ♄ ♀ Diary A o 1652.

In the year 1668 1670. 1672. In the Signs ♒ and ♓ They were the Signs of the Aspect But the Solar Sign was ♐ only the Snow falling in November § 17. There are many other pretty things occur in the History of ♄ and ♂ some whereof are common to other Configurations others may seem to be more proper Clouds and Passions of Clouds blushing toward the East Irides Halo's Lowring Suspicious and Threatning with a suspended Effect While no Rain falls Mists Fog Low Ground Mists c. Concerning which I must needs say I have observed the Air under this Aspect to clear and cloud interchangeably for several Days Ye will say so it doth it other times It doth so and not without Cause which Cause if a Man can render then or Now what Harm is it Saturn and Mars is a great and permanent Aspect whereby the Air is for a long while more easily alterable as when a Disease hangs about us our Bodies are more incident to a Fit when there happens a more full and smart Concurrence as we see it not seldom meets with § 18. Note that the sudden Mists under this Aspect put on an extra ordinary Hue noted for their deep Blew as well under the Opposition as under the Conjunction § 19. We have spoke of the Ground Mists before and some Instances we have here so frequent as if they seemed to belong to ♄ even as I ventur'd to conjecture Of these we meet One in the year 1652. 3 in 1658. 4 in 1660. and 2 in 1666. and amongst these one most notable A o 1666. Nov 21. where I observ'd it making a creeping Progression in the Valleys hor. 9. manc I remember elsewhere where a Low Mist by a leisurely Progress hath shifted its ground stole from a Meadow into a Close and with a silent Inundation overflowed the Neighbour Pastures Tell me some good Philosopher the Cause I meditated and thought the Water might attract but the Motion was from the side of the River and that of Nov. 1666. was distant 2 or 3 Miles from the River Thames I consulted and found it was a Sign of a Tempest for the Wind rose to an audible Height the Night and day following and so continued 3 or 4 days very Tempestuous ♄ and ♂ yea ♃ and ♀ rather than fail were all together now the Cause of the Tempest must be the Cause of that Sign and that these Planets were the Cause of the Tempest may appear by the Premises and the further Criterium were it time to shew it at the time of the Planets setting hor. 8. vesp of the next day at which time the Air according to the Diary was very Tempestuous and as it had been before at ☉ set § 20. As for Irides and Halo's we light upon them sometimes and they are not altogether accidental to an Aspect either of ♄ and ♂ as we have seen before Nor to This because they are Notable here for Number or Circumference Add that they contribute to a like Passion of the Clouds viz. that blushing Tincture in the East and that not only when the Aspect is Situate about the West but also when nearer the Zenith Quaere Whether not so when in the Nadir Or the other Hemisphere Yea lastly what if we shall find that Notable Passion of Parelium found under this Aspect § 21. For a Dark Aether I though I might impute it to ♄ and sometimes to ♂ upon different accounts but when I consulted the Diary I found the Effect confin'd to certain Signs Aries Cancer and once Pisces Virgo Leo. So this note must be reserved for the Tropick and Equinox or they seem to be the Critical Places The Home Diary of ☌ ♄ ♂ § 22. A o 1658. Oct. 12. 1. ♏ ♎ 22. 6.

Feet swelling and shooting against Weather yea the Paroxysmes of the Gout and sundry other Ailments observed in the Hospital of our Bodies remember us thus of superior Alterations § 22. Yea farther all the Prognosticks taken from the Fire it self do note which may be strange some Dominion over Moisture the ●elestial Action terminating not on the Flame so much as the Fewel or the Body inflam'd hence comes the little diminutive sparkling of the Candle the spitting of the Fire from under the Embers the puffing and murmuring of the flaming Coal the concretion of Sparks and Knots in the Snuff Lucernarum fungi the Adhesion of Embers to the Hearth of the Live coal to the Pot-side all betokening some Alteration of the Moisture which betrays it self by concretion of things contiguous or by that little sparkling at the approach of the Flame which at other times burns quiet and cals for no Observation He that pleases may consult Aratus Virgil Pliny Plutarch of the Neotericks Fromond Vossius de Idololatr § 23. Rain and Wind therefore for they are not often severed or their existence to Warmth § 24. And 't is manifest whether Hail reduceth it self being the congelation of Rain As for Snow 't is of a nice crasis strangely consisting of a congeal'd vapour and some little degree of a warm Spirit which helpeth to resolve the continued congelation and make it fall into wafers § 25. Hence what is commonly observed whensoever it snows the Air remits of his rigor and again the greater is the Fleece the warmer is the Air and more bordering on a Thaw § 26. Next the Mist also belongeth to Cold seeing it is a vapor part moist part fuliginous congel'd just as the breath of our mouth by the Cold of Winter is a visible Mist Mists therefore do not arise from the Rivers brink as is commonly reckon'd but the Vapour which before rose invisibly being congel'd descends and by continual aggregation or conflux puts on a visible consistence § 27. Lightning and Thunder need no Herald to derive their Pedegree from Heat Celestial § 28. Comets Celestial have their consistence also from Expirations Celestial taking it for granted that the Sublunar consist of Expirations Terrestrial mingled with Celestial and inflamed thereby § 29. Blite and Blasting in some cases proceed from Heat as when Fruits are prejudiced by Lightning or burning Winds such as the East-winds are reckon'd in Holy Writ § 30. Again it oftentimes proceeds from Cold and Hoar-frosts as Pliny rightly with our Husbandmen define happening with us about May June yea in April March whensoever the Spring is obnoxious to the injury by its unhappy forwardness § 31. Of all these there is not the least piece of a Phaenomenon that is casual in respect of the Heavens though the Learned Kepler can allow it but the Heavens are conscious of its Original § 32. Nay as we shall see there is not the least puff of Wind though a Reflexion of a Blast indeed may be termed Casual but is Heaven-bred if we speak of the direct issue § 33. Howbeit so great and various is the inconstancy of the Winds especially with us on Shore that the Knowledge is abstruse and difficult though neither so pure a Contingent but that it may be lur'd to the Rules of Art § 34. Seeing Wind that we may come to its Definition is nothing else but the motion of an Earthy dry Exhalation and that moved not by Condensation or its own Gravity but by Impulse from Celestial Heat § 35. Some great Authors philosophize otherwise That Wind is made by Rarefaction and a Condensation succeeding the Air condensed tending downwards and acquiring its violence by the heights of its descent But 1. wheresoever it hapneth that there is such Condensation as in Clouds Dews Mists hazie Air Frosts there would be always some sense of Winds stirring but many Clouds and hazie days are calm yea nothing is more husht oft times than a Frost or Mist or more still and silent than the Dew 2. Winds are indifferent to all Seasons Winter Summer to all Weathers to all hours of the Natural Day none have their Quietus'es from it not Sun-rise nor Sun-set Mid-day nor Mid-night it owes not therefore its Existence to Rarefaction and Condensation seeing all Hours Seasons are not indifferent thereto for in a Cloudy day what place is there for Rarefaction In a bright hot Summers day what condenseth 3. Here let the Etesian speak hath not benign Nature provided that refreshing Air for the Aestival Heat and doth not it rise at 9 in the morning when the Heat increaseth and cease again at 4 in the Even 4. Whatsoever may be said in Spring and Autumn for the vicissitudes of Rarefaction and Condensation how comes Winter which even hath its denomination from Wind to be so unquiet when there are no such sensible vicissitudes Nay how doth Wind rise in Winter nights It cannot be said that the Night condenseth what the Day hath rarefied Alas the Day was all benummed in Frost and the windy Nights often introduc'd a Thaw How doth the colder Season rarifie how doth the warmer Season condense 5. Upon this Hypothesis the Wind would blow to not from the Points of the Compass and to many Points at once viz. coming from the Sun as from the Centre for the Air even as Water rising up in a Conical tumor when rarefied upon the recess of the Sun while it condenseth and recovereth its Gravity must needs fall indifferently from the vertex to all parts of the Circumference where it is not hindred i.e. to the East North and South at least if not to the West but the Wind blows not several ways at once nor is confined in the least but tends indifferently from the Sun aud to the Sun and on each side of the Sun through all the Points of the Compass § 36. Again Condensation can give no account of the Winds violence no not the thousandth part of its rage and fury as when it is known to rift up Trees demólish Buildings for admit the descent of Air to be as forcible as the descent of Water though there is some difference sure especially if Air be rarer than the Water by a 1000 degrees yet this will not prevail for in Noah's Floud it self the Cataracts of Heaven did not beat down the Trees as appears by the Story § 37. 'T is said that all Heavy Bodies the further they descend the more violence they acquire this is true in Bodies that have their fixed Dose of complete Gravity disproportioned to the medium as in Stones Metals c. and this by virtue of their Generation but in Condensation 't is otherwise the Body is not condensed at an instant all at once but at leisure and by gradual alteration Proportional thereto must the Gravitation be and as the body condenseth so must it subside in the same measure according as the Applications of the Causes condensing are gradual for as for instantaneous

it Rains soundly from hor. 9. Vesp to or toward Midnight the Feria the Sunday is dry but the Change is not so A day is 24 Hours if it comes therefore within 12 Hours before or after it rains on the Day of the Change As there is a Lunar Month consisting of 28 or 29 Days so there is a Lunar Day the World admits a triple Lunar Month Periodical Synodical and of Illumination Ours is a day of the Synodical Month only in this it is singular that it comprizes as many Hours after the Change as before the Hour of the Change being the common Term half way of the whole reckon the Day so and then let them tell me their Mind § 45. Always provided that we be not too hasty or self-conceited to conclude against an Old Rule for one or two invidious Observations of such or such a year which as it may happen may be extraordinary as in the year 1623. By Keplers Diary we find no Rain neither in January a Winter Month nor in February nor in April the three moistest Months in the Year No not in the Triduum Well we who look back many Years before we pronounce do find that there is great and admirable Variety in the Celestial Courses and that a General Temperature of the year swallows up the particular Inclinations must the Aspect therefore be indifferent to wet or dry because it failed twice or thrice Can my crazy Body be said not to be inclined to an Ague unless it be a Quotidian Suppose an Intermitting Tertian or Quartan hold me half a year do not I retain a Propension to the Malady though it scape the first or second Day So is it here the Aspect makes her part good at the Long Run The Neighbour years will make amends In the year 1621. we have Moist Changes 9. Anno 1622. 9. Anno 24. 10. Anno 1625. 11. and Anno 1623. the year objected we have 6 put them together and the Sum will answer the Objection § 46. Let me not be reckoned tedious if I give a further Example of our Own in the year 1652. when we first observed the Change in January proved very Dry and Frosty in February Cold and Windy in March Foggy and Hot an Intermission of 3 Courses what then The Inclination to Rain sleeps not for the Change in April May July September November brings Rain and Winds In June and August Rain and Thunder While October and December intermit again with Mists and Frosts Cloudy Air and Windy Well then the Change January the next year 1653. brings Rain so April mark the intermission of February and March yea the April Lunation brought but a drop or two and July scarce perceivable May and June August September October December all but November showred down its Influence And if Hevelius had observed but thus much he would have told us that the ☽ was placed so near us rather for this Influence than for the advantage of those who observe her Motion to a Scruple and nothing of Influence § 47. But suppose now that we forego this Device of the Aspect and it be said we are bound to give account still of so many Days concerned Casting our Counters right we maintain that there is an Inclination Visible and Palpable to bear up toward the Number of the Days though twice or thrice as many as the Number of the Aspect And for this we appeal to the Table which was let me tell you produced for this Reason to make good this Notable Inclination and to show the Irrationality of those who will not allow it The Objection proceeding alike against this as any other Configuration The Question seems then thus Not how many times but how many days do we find concerned in the total of the Lunations Answer 261. See Now how many of these by the Table find for Rain or Wind For Rain we find days 109. to which add what we noted by themselves the Violent Rains whose Sum is 28. and the whole amounts to 137. beside a petty Sum to be added for Snow or Hail which advances the Sum to 140. and upwards How Of 261 days are there found 140 Drippers by one single Aspect And is not the Inclination Palpable For 't is the proportion of Fifty to an Hundred not considering the Overplus One Aspect and the like we shall find true of any other Aspect reaches to a Moyety § 48. For I hope we are not to learn what Mechanical Writers teach us to good purpose that Power and Inclination vis Motrix may be proportioned out by Numbers As toward the Motion of a Bulk of 100 Weight there may be applyed Movers of several rates as of 10 20 30 40 50 c. where the motive force of 100. moves that Bulk infallibly because thereby the Agent is equal to the Patient whether this equality be found in One only or made up by several rates of ten suppose 20 30 40. or otherwise which of themselves 't is clear are not each of them of infallible Effect because inadaequate Yet notwithstanding each of these have a real unequal Share though it be in that Effect That of Ten is a Tenth that of 20. is a Fifth that of 40. above a Third part that of Fifty is a half Sharer since another of the same rate performs the whole § 49. This presupposed helps to clear our design of our Table and the Constitutions there all which say we except those which come in by accident the Aspect reaches Consideratis Considerandis For we do not except it should Snow or Hail as often as it Rains nor Lighten or Thunder as oft as 't is Warm seeing the year is not wholly Winter or Summer but is divided into Lesser Seasons where those rarer Constitutions happen by Virtue of that Inclination Lay them now in progressive Order and see whether that will edifie 〈◊〉 Lightning or Thunder 6. Trajections 19. Mist 80. Wind. 103. Rain 134. And is this Influence of the Change indifferent Now Doth it not most incline to Rain Next under that to Wind Mist Trajections c. Hence say I one ♂ ☉ ☽ inclines to Mist Clouds Winds Rain and to Trajections at times yea to Thunder it self But to Rain and Wind most else how come these instances to exceed For Rain and Wind we have demonstrated come not from any unaccountable Motion of Matter but at set determinate Periods and Revolutions of Heavenly Bodys From this difference of the Account in such Revolutions say I as there is greater disposition to Fog or Cloudy than to Frosty or Serene hence in ♂ ☉ ☽ there is some real Influence towards Mist and Fog and close weather And if there be a greater aptitude for Wind and Rain than for Dry and Calm Weather such as shall aspire almost to the Moyety of Days Comprehended reckoning 2 or 3 to every Lunation then there is some known Force and Influence in the Lunation which being not content with such Imperfect Productions

Rain The less Aspects exceed New and Full the prior Sextile almost doubles the number 17. The Change brings the least Snow the Full ☽ most Hail First Square and last Trine bring more Snow than the Change 18. Rainbows made by the Sun not without Assistants 19. Former Square and Trine conduce to a limpid Horizon 20. Fogs rarer at the Full than Change The Trines have the Fewest Instances ☽ more inclining to Fog than the Sun 21. Gloomy days oftsn misty 22. Fila Gossamere defined 23 24. New ☽ favours South-West Winds the Full much more 25. All the Aspects incline to the Western or Southern Winds 26. A Rule for a Mariner who expects an East-Wind § 1. WE could not have been so diligent in declaring the Power of the Lunar Aspects but that we saw some necessity of a new closing Chapter to discover some other considerables belonging to the premises which we presumed would arise from the further comparison of the Aspects subjoyned in an Universal Table or where all the Aspects march in a Rank even and just with their Influence that they may mutually justifie one the other § 2.

To begin with Frosty days a Title which we cannot well miscount The New ☽ you see gives 16 Votes the Full ☽ 26. And there is an excess The Full ☽ then as we have said is colder than the New by Day viz. and we have ventur'd at the Reason But now in the Later □ △ ⚹ there is no such matter no excess of Frosty days but the contrary as the Tale sheweth Then the Later □ △ ⚹ I say are warmer then their Mates Wherefore But because the ☽ rises before the Sun in the Later □ △ c. Therefore there is apparent Warmth in the ☽ which diminishes the Matutine Frosts while it shines and hath not so much Power before it is risen Which if we have said it before in part deserves now in full to be asserted again because it convinceth those Learned who pass for the more Learned by denying such an evident Truth § 4 But why the Full ☽ is colder than the New we have answered already adding withall that the same Reason holds in part here for □ □ ⚹ the ☽ is late before she rises always remembring we speak of the day time only when the ☽ more or less as at the Full absolutely hides her Head § 5. Here if it be objected that the ☽ at Full shews her self by Night though not by day the Objection is Seasonable for it puts us in mind of what we have determined in the case viz. that shee is warmer to us in Plenilunar Nights than Days And this Decision of ours appears to be no quick or subtile Evasion but a Lightsome manifest Truth In witness hereof the Frosty mornings appear Fewer even although the entire Frosty days have appeared more Consequently on the same ground it holds here also in the other Aspects though the Frosty Mornings be not always of so certain a Cognizance as the entire days that the Later □ △ ⚹ bring not more yea Fewer Mornings so qualified than their Chiefs choose to bring I mean the First □ △ ⚹ § 6. Thus we go on with the same certainty almost in Natural Demonstration as is found in Lines and Numbers and therefore Astrology is Some Body so far at least as she hath acquaintance with the Sun and ☽ and their Mutual Aspects § 7. Pass we now to consider the Hot Days where as we have said before we are less liable to falter in our Animadversions View I pray the Number The New ☽ brings more such Days than the Plenilunium the Reason is plain the ☽ is up invisible though she be she is in consult with the Sun on the Day of her Change and makes a shift to own and maintain the Heat notwithstanding her dark side as hath bin shewn before § 8. For the Rest then the Second Square brings more hot days than the First the Second Sextile also 36. to 20. We are ashamed so often to repeat the Cause viz. the ☽ preventing the Sun and rising before which in the former □ and ⚹ holds not where the ☽ follows But then here we meet with an unlucky objection for that our Second △ brings Fewer hot Days than the First we must look for some R●bs in pursuit of Natural Knowledge but by good hap this is none For if we recollect that the Denomination of many a hot day arises chiefly from the time about Noon to the Hour between 3 and 4 and withall consider that the ☽ in her Later △ appears not but is descended and gone in large speaking almost two Hours before Noon we will easily grant that the Qualification of the day for Heat must needs be at a loss where the Cause of the Qualification hath been so long withdrawn In the Square 't is otherwise the ☽ is but upon the Horizon and so she gradually sinks lower and lower yet for a considerable space doth she maintain Warmth in the same proportion as we see them maintain some Light after their descent while the Sun is posited about the Meridian so the Critical places agree punctually to that time whence the Denomination begins But in the Later △ the Sun hath lost his Mistress the ☽ even at 9 in the Morning so she is disappearing before he himself hath mounted his Meridian wherefore this not obscurely make for us who impute the difference of Heat in the Later Aspects to the difference of the Apparition of the ☽ under one more than the other wherein that we feign nothing let the Later Sextile

An. 1672. July 15 16 17. among others 3 days hot together Whence comes the Heat The answer is made Oh it is usual for the time of the year But this answer is not Scientifical it renders not the Cause If a Philosopher enquire after the Nature of Sleep the cause is not assigned by saying It is usual or 't is the time of Night the gentle Unctuous cooling vapours to bemist and charm the Sensory is the Cause Feaverish and Famish'd Men sleep not for all the time of Night So be it never so much the time of the year place the Sun where you please there 's no necessity this day must be hot with Express or Excessive Heat Those 3 days of July though inclined to Heat as much almost as any are not always found under that Character If the Enquiry were whether a hot day in Summer were a Prodigy Such answer indeed were punctual No by no means 'T is usual and according to the time of the year But when the Question proceeds of Cause wherefore at that time of the year Nay wherefore on the very day which might have proved cold notwithstanding the time of the year We must look into a more secret and abstruse cause I must find a Reason from the very Constitution of the Primrose or Violet If I mean to answer the Question of its early Blossom The time of the year allows only an aptitude or Inclination The Argument doth not follow from the Power or Inclination to the Act This day is hot because it was probable it would What then Sir is the Cause The Astrologer reasonably urges Chance can not be it for what determines the Effect since all Events though never so casual are such not because they have no determinant but because 't is unknown § 71. Gassendus press'd with this Objection denies Chance Ore tenus while he tells us that the Sun Moon and Stars are the general Causes of many Phaenomena but beside these for he knew generals were indetermined He mentions other Inferiour Sublunar Causes Causes per se as he calls them Singular Special which determine them to Hic nunc Meteor Epicur p. 944. by which Cause if he means the nature of the place situation c. Subterraneous Fires and Eruptions of vapours we admit them heartily as well as he But certainly Place and Situation are Circumstances rather than Causes without which the Heavens can do nothing That we confess yet we deny that they may be called therefore Efficients Principal and Singular Causes The Fires Subterraneous seem to put on for Efficiency but we profess to believe that these Fires are not so Universal as I see is imagined by himself and others Agricola c. who have not kindness enough for the Aethereal § 72. Neither secondly is this Cause but general still and indeterminate as they say of our Heavens the Determinate is yet to seek For suppose the Fire sends forth the Vapours and the Vapours condense into Rain Stay May not the Cloud be barren The Vapour Dry Foggy yea Pellucid As in Serenity and Drought is seen seeing by the Testimony of the Baroscope the Serene and dryest Air makes the greatest pressure What then makes it a Cloud say I rather than Serenity The Sun shines and the Fires are at work and yet Serenity and Drought continues many times for the greater part of the year The answer is the Vapour is condens'd to Rain it gathers into a Cloud The● for the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 For if Cold be mentioned to the generation of Clouds or Rain we ask further What encourageth the Cold at that time Is it a Mid-Region We admit the Notion But then why doth it not always Rain or Cloud according to the Temper of the Region As long as Vapours ascend continually why don't they as continually descend What we say in an Alembic The Subterranean Fires work Day and Night Winter and Summer and the Mid-Region is never Free because the Superiour the more remote Region is never Free also Neither may it be said That there is variety in the Mid-Region as not always of the same Temper sometimes extream sometimes more remiss For so 't is true it may Rain when 't is remiss and Snow or Hail when 't is extream But in Frosty days I hope the Middle Region is extream Why don't it Snow then How comes so many Serene and pure Frosts as all natural and wholsom Frosts are Want of Supply cannot be pretended the Fires do their Duty and at all times alike for any thing they know whence is it that the Middle Region is Idle For that sometimes this Region is guilty of no Cold I suppose all that travel the Alps the Mountain Rhodope Taurus Libanus or our own Penmaur All who have heard of a perpetual Snow lying thereon will not consent Surely then the difference of the Temper of the Region defin'd to be sometimes moderate sometimese of an extream Cold lies not in any confus'd disorder or chance but in Vicissitudes Regular with Anomaly such as the Seasons themselves are capable of and no more a sign that they are governed by Ordinances of Nature excluding Casualties For if some Heat beside Solar and Subterranean governs the Tepor of the year as Cold is a privation at least it must be govern'd by the same Caelestial Cause nor can we rest till we have found that Cause in the Heavens § 73. To this the learned Man Objects thus If it rains to day it doth not rain again the same day 12 Month but sooner or later according as the matter is prepar'd To which I answer If I should have said that it rains not at a New or Full ☽ but sooner or later according as the matter is ripe I should have Fibb'd seeing 't is confessed that it usually raineth then whosoever ripens the matter And so I hope I may retort in our Aspect of ☉ ☿ that however matter is prepared at other times 't is usually disposed for Wind and Rain then But this objection concerns not Aspects of which in general enough hath bin said but is rather levell'd at the Annual Revolutions of Stated days No Question but the matter is prepared for Rain when it Rains but who prepared it so variously so uncertainly under such Difformity and Dissonance to comply with the Objection is the Question The Sun and Moon alone we have made good cannot be the Causes preparatory or determinant of a Showre c. nor can any matter possibly prepare it self as Ice cannot thaw it self the very Notion of matter being passive He must have excluded Other Requisites which he knew Gelestial Philosophy pretends to before he could justly infer so Universal a Negative It doth not rain again the same day 12 Month Ergo the Sun is not the Cause I allow it I will help the Argument and say it doth not rain again the same day 19 Year when as the Golden Number tea cheth us the Sun and Moon are

servant upon occasion went down into a Well belonging to the Family stifled with a Damp groan'd his last And a second descending to the relief of the First underwent the same Fate the Third not daring to be so charitable as to descend to either Now that the Heavens were set at both these times so to provoke Nature appears by this that in both these we shall find Aspects of ♄ yea and at both times ♄ posited in the Tropic The First in the Winter Tropic and the Later in the Summers This is the second Story § 77. There is a Third Story of a Damp at the Fatal Sessions in the City of Oxford not arising so much from the Prisoners Frouzy Bodies which might be imagined as from the Earth at such a critical time No less than 300. are recorded in Stow to have perished some on the Spot others in a short time after An. 1557. who will reveal to us the cause of such a Fatal Damp then and there arising Let others search into the Nature of the Soyl As to the Circumstance of time why then Oh! if ♄ could be found again at or near the Tropic then we might draw some conclusion Verily no otherwise ♄ was then then also on the Winter Tropic opposing ☿ at or near the other See the Ephemerides so apparent is it that an Aspect can trouble the Universe Pardon good Reader the Digression 't is only out of place a little we should have troubled you elsewhere with it § 78. Now after all premising but one Postulate I shall ask a Question the Postulate is that the same day 12 Month vulgarly so called is not the same day in Astrological Notion which is defined by the same degree and its Revolution This degree answers not to that day next year This Supernumerary Bissextile Day introding dispossesses the degree of its Room in the Bed and thrusts it so far that it lies half out and half in dividing it self between two that I may not say three days Gassendus then should have obviated this and have said I know that by reason of the Intercalary Day while it is in Fidai the same vulgar day answers not adequately to the same degree and different Days may be concern'd in considerable parts of the same degree but neither at One or the Other doth it rain again the next Twelvemonth Ergò the Heavens are not the Cause But he was not so provided I confess it doth not always rain the same day 12 Month if it had Gassendus had bin an Astrologer and reconciled to good Learning Now for my Question What If we produce some days wherein it doth often Rain next Revolution of Twelve Months and by much the most part if we consider the Identity of the degree So that I wonder what day Gassendus doth pitch upon And whether he consulted his own observation or some other Diary It may be he observed a year or two and when it did not prove the 2d yea and a 3d. time he concluded But how hard that is hath bin shewn already especially when after a 2d or 3d. failer it holds as in the New ☽ hath bin observed for 7 continued years after Had he followed his blow and said that All days are indifferent and alike inclin'd and for this appeal'd to the Diaries then he had routed us But we Challenge all the World to shew that or any thing near it For beside the Antient Diaries which by the equal Judicious are not to be questioned Gassendus might have seen to the contrary in Keplers and every Modern Diary will confirm § 79. It must be time now to name some days if we can for a Tast thus I do it An. 1621. Ephemerid Kepler I find Wind and Rain Jan. XII An. 1622. die eod Wind and Snow What would Gassendus have said if he had pitched upon this day The 3d. year An. 1623. Snow An. 24.

We need no more when Thunder gives his voice for us when the Heavens themselves speak out for Astrology And the Reader may think this pretty feasible if what is true every degree in it self as it speaks but it self it s own 60 integral Minutes so it respects two more one on each side as the Liberties of the Mid-Degree to which the Terms of the said Degree do not reach but the Influence does So within Temple-Bar I am within the City of London within the Jurisdiction of it though without the Walls Our Aspect we grant doth not so much as we see the Sun and some of the Fixed can the reason is evident viz. that Mercury is but one and some Fixed may be many a notable part of an Asterism but it is effectual enough to evince a strong inclination and thereby by Gassendus's leave declare the Nature of a Planet For excepting the Luminaries saith he they cannot know the Nature of any Planet nor ascertain any Prediction thereby for which he appeals to experience which teacheth us that be the Prediction what it will the Event brings as many yea more Experiments to the contrary and therefore good Night Astrology Scientia Futilis vana nulla There 's nothing in it § 81. This we know is the grand popular objection which Cries not reasons us down For those Gentlemen who please to make use of this Objection I desire them to consider again for we are forc'd to repeat that while they go to overthrow a most useful Speculation Will they Nill they They establish it For the Words of the Objection are these The contrary to the Prediction happens as often or more often than the Prediction If the contrary happens but as often and sometimes though but rarely more often Is not there a great inclination of the Planet And doth not the prediction come near and hover about the Truth Verily he hath a great Aim that draws the Bow so dextrously that it hits the White as often as he misses it A Prediction of Art is far from nothing though it comes but to even terms Probable it must be when it succeeds as often as Fails as it must do if it fails but as often as it succeeds § 82. We have

proved the ☌ ☉ ☿ the event being observed at such continued times produceth Rain as to a Moiety of the Number that Aspect being then a Natural ingredient into a Natural Effect the Total may be made up sure by the Investigation of its Con-Causes otherwise there would be a Scibile a Conclusion under natural Knowledge without any possible Natural Premises which is impossible since the Principia essendi as we have used to speak are the same with Principia Cognoscendi If it have the First it must have the Second Nor must we object the squaring of a Circle or the perpetual Motion not yet found out because if we mark it they are Conclusions in quest and pursuit not yet in being But our conclusion is in actual Existence whose Principle we enquire after But we see it Rain again and again wherefore if we object to purpose we must Assign the Longitude the distance from the first Meridian c. for we are all actually possessed of That but for the Knowledge of that Distance I answer it must be possible either from the variation of the Compass c. as hath bin of late professed or the Hour of the Night being given and the verticity of the Moon c. § 83. In vain then doth the Learned Man Triumph who after a whole Winter observed avows his Astrologers Predictions to hit but 6. or 7. in 130 times For this we are assured of that all those dayes 130. of them were not ☌ ☉ ☽ or ☌ ☉ ☿ If he find but 6. or 7 days hit in so many Conjunctions with the ☽ or ☿ then Astrologers must not shew their Heads again If not they are not quite Bankrupt they have some little Bank left 2ly He must not deny what he hath already granted Astrologers he confesseth or else we should have heard of it succeed neer upon as often as they fail 3ly Nor must he be angry that we have proved in part that he is not a Competent Judge For if Three days must be allowed to a Solar ☌ or ☍ with the ☽ and Three yea Four and Five sometimes to ☌ ☉ ☿ beside what more might be said if I had his Diary in my Power he might have consulted better the Astrologers Credit and his own I am sure our English Writers pronounce cautiously with such Limitations not always on a determinate Day but at or about the time which on the Solar Aspects with ♄ ♃ ☿ hold at least a Triduum but with ♂ and ♀ much longer Now if in one or more of these days there happen an Hiatus the Aspect nevertheless is rightly stated though the Effect happens but once in the Triduum For so we have seen the Countryman content himself with his Maxime of the Lunar Influence though several times his expectation fails on the day of the Change and on the other days also That which fails may be scarce considerable if so be at other times he hath amends made him for what fails in the smaller Observations is made up in the larger Otherwise a Puny Philosopher will say the Suns faculty of Warmth is extinguished because it Snow'd at Midsummer and April is not inclined to Rain because some years have not met with three drops in the whole Month. § 84. To conclude therefore there is nothing in Astrology is very hard when as I am perswaded and no Friend to Vanity that there may be something in Cabala Gematry something in the mysterious Force of Numbers in Critical Days Climacteric Years the Doctrine of Magnetisms Sympathies and Natural Magic Transmutations of Metals Doctrine of Moles in the Body Doctrine of Signatures of Plants Dreams Chiromancy Genethliac Skill as to Health and Sickness at least Let not the Reader think in the least we will add Geomancy Steganography occult Philosophy or any thing whose grounds hide from Mortal search or have a Sulphurous flavour of the unclean Spirit But I have seen from one of the Esprits of France a Discourse of Chiromancy a Senseless piece of Learning as ordinarily taught yet made by him pretty and plausible We are Infidels too many desirous of unseasonable and immense Convictions such as cannot be advanced The Good God of Heaven hath provided for us in a temperate Zone Places of Habitation and Rest Such as are too good for us because of its Calmnes Will we not believe a Devil unless we see him Nor consent to an Influence unless we feel its Fury Shall we conceit the Heaven hath no Power over the Earth unless it shakes us out of it Destructive Tempests Hurricanes vast Deluges Lightnings Rain Comets Earthquakes Dismal Darkness Heat and Drought extream and intollerable the greatness of these Effects Foul and vast as they are may excuse the Frequency with our Thanks to the Creator for Natures kindness to us and yet must afford us also a fair Item of such Inclinations which at times brake in upon us I confess 't is no matter for enquiring the Cause why I yawn sometimes or why the Ear tingles I may be weary or talking or restless But if as God defend I sink under a dire Fit of an Apoplexy or Epileptic Distemper though but seldom it happens I shall be jealous I have an aptitude to it CHAP. II. Conjunction of Sol and Venus ☌ ☉ ♀ § 1. and 2. A noble and permanent Aspect 3. Aspects their pretty Vicissitudes 4. The Table of the Direct Aspect 5. The Table of the Retrograde 6. Somewhat prolix but necessary 7. The ☌ contributes to Warmth 8. And yet also to Cold how the Congress of Two Catorifick Bodies may increase yea and abate Heat 9. The Tradition of the Antients 10. Justified as to bright Air. 11. As to Showres 12. Contignations of Clouds whence they proceed 13. Justified as to High Winds 14. Though the prolixity of our Table be disadvantageous to our Method we find notwithstanding a Moyety for Moisture in the Direct The Retrograde Aspect brings moisture once within the Triduum 15 16. Presentment of some days from the Table which brought store of Rain and not a few which rain'd all the day long Divine Providence proved thereby How ♀ contributes to such lasting Rains Astrology demonstrates 17 18. Fleec'd Clouds strip'd Clouds have their determinate Cause 19. Some account of Clouds riding contrary 20. Of the Morn and Evening Tincture of the Clouds 21. Difference of Mist ♀ inclines to Fog 22. Platick Aspects explained as powerful as the Central whereby we give an account of the Effects and its Duration 23. Recourse to Keplers Diary 24. Due and proportionable distance is operative as well as a Central Conjunction 25. Some Light to distinguish the Effects even when the Aspects are co-incident 26. Our Aspect contributes to Waters 27. ♀ in elongation seems to contribute to the same 28. Our Aspect attended with Chasmes and a parcell of fiery Meteors 29. Yea some Comets and Earthquakes occur 30.

One or Two Notes let me add concerning monstrous Hail sometimes recorded under this Aspect specially when it speaks that cold Temper which is often enhaunsed at the Partile Congress of the Planets and according to what hath been noted and because by reason of the Monstrous size of Hail it may speak some Affinity to Flouds An. 1531.

But we have not clogged the Reader with such like Instances from one vehemence Another may be concluded What will procure an Earthquake can make such a bustle in a Superiour Element § 36. So have you seen in part what our Aspect does abroad or at home That we may sure to be brief let us cast up all into the Short Sum thus ☌ ☉ ♀ in a State of Destitution brings cool air at all times of the year in Winter Frosts Sharp and permanent In like manner Mists and Foggs But with indifferent or more considerable assistance Warmth cloudy and close Weather Showres Winds Rain considerable part of the Day if not all day long sometimes Fiery Meteors Lightnings Thunders The fair Weather though sometimes hot we refer to the State of destitution The rarer accidents enter not into the Character So much for the ☌ ☉ ♀ a beauteous Aspect to our understanding for our Corporal Eyes never see it CHAP.

Motion and Influence both set forth the Glory of the Creator § 1. Conjunction of ♀ and ☿ what do they Effect They pretend severally to do something in ☌ with ☉ but can they produce any thing in ☌ mutual one with the other Astrologers say they may with help especially Per aliquot dies excessum humiditatis ventorum nivium c. infere possunt saith Eichstad But Eichstad is but yesterday What say our Arabian and Indian Astrologers Albumazar yea Alchindus and Giaphar They say the same whether they speak Sence or no we shall see in what follows Quando erit ♀ ☿ ☽ in aliquo istarum mansionum decem humidarum sign pluviam multam so Alchind over and over Cap. 6. Inspice saith he in hora Conjunctionis si Luna applicuerit cum ♀ ☿ sign generationem pluviae in illa septimana Again si quando fuerit ♀ ☿ in Scorpione Capricorno aut Aquario cum ☽ sign pluviam For Planetae ferentes pluviam sunt Venus Mercurius Luna in the beginning of the Chapter When the ☉ is in ♏ 20. That 's a critical time with the Indian Then if the ☽ apply to ♀ and ☿ sign multas pluvias in eo anno Yea for every New ☽ or if they be found in any of the 10 Mansions the Effect follows Thus the One Now the Other remember he speaks for his own Climate or not above 10 gr Latitude from the Equator If the Two inferiours saith he apply to a Malevolent ♄ or ♂ submersio ruina imbrium assiduitas timenda Sect. 3. Our Moderns follow these Men Adrian Vlacq in Ephemerid Anno 1633. Quod si ♀ ☿ congressus acciderit hora Conjunctionis c. Luminarium pluviarum inundationem pariet And they seem to speak consequently because we have met with some excess in ♀ conjoyned with ☉ which it seems they do not appropriate to that only but plead for the like in this and if it should prove true I can tell you enters us into a pretty distinct Notion of the Planets for ☿ is a second Sol if he can bring forth the same showres c. in amity with ♀ as ☉ hath proved himself to have done in Conjunction with the same Venus § 2. We will not thus argue though the Argument is Legitimate that ☿ ☿ and ☽ met together in ☌ have undenyable Influence as I see the Arabs or Indians also have taught ergo the same ♀ and ☿ by themselves have their certain efficacy This belongs to the Chapter of Complicate Aspects and our Method engages us yet to show the Influence only of the Single and incomplicate § 3. They are both reflexions confessed they appear horned in their First and Last Quadrate as we call it and though

Planets CHAP. VII ☌ ♂ ♀ Conjunction of Mars and Venus § 1. This ☌ takes place here before ♂ ☿ 2. 'T is many times visible and a fine sight to see 3. In Heathen Theology it is a lewd Fable 4. 'T is of uncertain return 5. It brings an Apertio portarum 6. It commonly brings its effect 7. The Aspects Character 8. The Home Diary produced 10 11. Descant upon the Evidence i. e. as to Heat 12. The Objection of frosts 13. It brings Testimony to Rain Not to Flouds in the Partile they belong to the Platic 14. The Fog 15. The Winds the Observation concern Wind changing 16. Oft-times prognosticable to an hour 17. Halo Parelia 18. Fiery Meteors 19. Days 240. of 280. bear the Character 20. The Forreign Diary 21. Who wishes well to the Sea-man is a well-wisher to his Country 22 Distance of 10 Degrees proper to stormy Constitutions 23. Account may be given of the Duration of a Tempest for a Week Month c. 24. Stated or arbitrary 25. Kepler forced to concurr 26. One Aspect extinguishes not another 27. A Tuffon is a dire Meteor 28. This Aspect as proper for Hail as any 29. Its Thunders 30. Keplers confession 31. Blite 32. Seven Degrees distance remarkable for Lightning 33. This Aspect either produces or prolongs Comets 34. 35. Proved 36. New Star in the breast of Cygnus Dissent from Hevelius 37. Earthquakes challenged by this Aspect 38. Platic Aspect must be admitted with Partile 39. Currents challenged 40. Fournier's Opinion the Moon not the only Cause 41. Some difference between Partile and Platic 42. Flouds 43. Some Flouds without Rain speak fermentation 44. They belong more to Mars and Venus than ♂ ☿ 45. A List of Mercurio Martial Flouds 46. A List of Venereo Martial Flouds 47. Our Planets Aspected operate in sight one of another proved 48. Opposition of Mars and Venus also a Flooding Aspect 49. Strange Tides 50. The Antient Astrology in this justified Apertio Portarum 51. Dissent from the Antients who make the contrariety of the Houses to be the cause of Apertio 52. 53. Other causes offered 54. Apertio Portarum a handsome term of Art 55. The Milignity of Martial Aspects 56. Demonstrated by a large induction the Origine of the Pestilence is Celestial against the diligent Dimmer-Brock 57. 'T is not eating of Fruit makes the Autumn fickly § 1. THe Conjunction of Mars and Venus should in complyance with our former Method not precede but follow that of ☿ for so it was in the Solar Conjunctions But the consideration of the more confessed and exact Calculation on ♀ side moved me to present it before that with ☿ whose account till of late days hath bin in the dark § 2. This ☌ happens some years to show it self to the publique view in the Nocturnal Hemisphere God so ordering it for Astronomy's sake that what could not be possible in the Diurnal Solar Conjunctions should be conspicuous to all who were given to observation and a fine Scene it makes in the Heavens Jucundum spectaculum saith Kepler truly as all must confess who regard the Motion and Lustre § 3. In the Harlot Theology of the Heathen the Conjunction of ♂ with ♀ makes a lewd smutty Story but in the Chaster Regions of thr Aether 'T is a Congress of two Glorious Lights parlying one with the other such Language as we labour at present to understand § 4. The Revolution of this Aspect is somewhat intricate not visiting us once in Two years as the ☌ ♂ ☉ but with more uncertainty and variety Variety because it is found sometimes to repeat the same Radiation once or twice before its departure as Annis 1654. 1660. c. Uncertainly because we may meet with an ☍ ♂ ♀ and also our ☌ within the space of one Twelve month and again otherwise neither ☍ or ☌ in the same time § 5. Now this is so far from an Every-day-Aspect that it is by Astrologers vouched to be free of the Society which bear an Apertio Portarum for their Motto A Port-opening opening of the Sluces of Heaven for Rain and Wind concerning which Notion and the grounds of it If I may speak freely we will at the Close of this Chapter declare our Sentiment § 6. The Aspect is violent That 's plain of a large effusion exceeding many of its fellow Martial Aspects and so the Neoteric's tell us For when they come to declare its Influence They lay Weight upon their Words and say Semper fere fert malum statum aeris and others willing to forget the Feré as if there were some absurdity in Semper joyned to Feré pronounce roundly Semper malum as if the Effect never fail'd But who goes to perswade that No Solet movere saith Eichstad and goes no futher The infallibility of the Effect belongs to the perfection of Astrology We are now treating but of the Rudiments only and first Principles considered by themselver § 7. Will you know the entire Character of this Aspect from Eichstad's Experience It useth to bring saith he Warmth Rains Winds and in particular West-Winds and at time of the year Snows Not forgetting Lusty Coruscations And He adds That this Influence lasts for some continuance of days as before in ☉ ♀ because the two Planets are of an Equal Gate Ephem part 1. ad Annum 1636. § 8. We hear him and therefore we produce our Table for the interval of two degrees Distance which relate to a Week and somewhat more at all times yea as it may happen may concern three Weeks or a Months time within the confines but of two degrees That 's brave advantage for a Learner The Home-Diary of ☌ ♀ ♂ § 9.

Heavens Mist also must be so dealt out for to make up our Sorites if no Mist no Dew if no Dew no Showr hath an Aethereal Relation and so we fall back to Mechanisms and the misty Speculations of the Cartesian where we may blunder all dayes of our Lives and envy Owls and Moles who can discern something in the Dark § 14.

Winds variable which are here remembred may next to the ☽ be imputed to ☿ the next in swiftness of Motion 'T is true if they vary when he is found Stationary then we lay no claim to that Effect but we shall scarce find it so I speak at adventure § 16. Sometimes I have met with the Weather under this Aspect applauded A Curious day a Day commended c. 'T is no Fallacy in it its turn to impute it to this Aspect which is fair and seasonable as others when by its self and at time of the year and under such Circumstances and must needs be commended since Health it self is nothing but Temper c. This hinders not that Character of his which speaks Distemperature For the difference of Circumstance reconciles all seeing they are apt enough to take occasion to shew themselves more Intemperate which appears by this If the present day under ♄ and ☿ be commended it argues the precedent were not so commendable when the precedent Distemperature was on the Cold Side Then 't is easie to say the approach of the ☌ did allay it agreeable to that common Nature of ☌ and the proper Character of our Aspect under Consideration § 17. As to Albumazar I find him talking of Flouds and Plenty of Rain in some certain Signs as ♈ ♍ ♑ ♒ and ♓ and sometimes as little Rain yea much Dryth as in ♌ and ♎ Vicissitudes of Wet and Dry may agree well enough Howbeit but one Floud appears in our Table and that upon a Singular Concourse of Causes not imputable therefore to ♄ and ☿ with any Eminence or special Note ☉ and ☿ 't is true may challenge that which is a more frequent and therefore to all seeming a more Potent Cause more apt to fall in with stronger Congresses by its very frequency What the Arabs add of paucitas pluviarum and yet Inundatio multa more than once viz. in ♉ and ♐ as I may hope 't is no Contradiction real in divers Signs as to their Clime so such Exotick Consideration is not worth my while ☌ ♄ ☿ Diary A o 1652.

notwithstanding tinged with Fog or overcast with a Cloud adequate to the whole when the Air may Lowr and be Muddy at times so it rain not This with Serenity strictly call'd may be the Fair Weather which ♃ and ♀ have a share in and are voic'd for such § 4. On this account I reasoned with my self as I have declared already which here upon this point started may be remembred again concerning the Planets Influence If it be so that ♃ cause Fair Weather must not ♃ be of a Dry Complexion rather than a Moist Must not he be Dry if he be Parent of Dry Weather Dry as well as Temperate and so Cool as well as Dry. § 5. Verily I look'd that the Astrologer should have profess'd that an Aspect of ♃ with ♀ should have favour'd Cold also and that by Force of Evidence from his Diary § 6. This I will say for them that they do not pretend that ♃ and ♀ do remit or abate the Cold of Winter as ♃ with ☉ and ♂ with ♀ doth And 't is some wonder that ♃ and ♂ notwithstanding their allow'd abatement of Cold in Winter-time should by confession as we shall hear bring Hail or Snow at peculiar times and yet ♃ ♀ tend nothing thereto § 7. This gives occasion to produce our Diary to enquire there and from thence if it may be deduce the Truth of our Pretences to Cold and to Serenity or the contrary § 8. For now the Nature of our Enquiry being such as in Reason abridgeth the Diary to fewer Degrees far than hitherto hath been made use of Greater Arches in the Heaven being concerned in a Storm than in a Calm In Hot Weather then in Cold We shall have the more Liberty to call in All or most of the Aspects not for any other reason but to settle and confirm the Character of the Aspect either Pro or Con. § 9. To tell you before hand what I have found by Experience before the Tables are introduced when All comes to All the Aspects of ♃ and ♀ though they favour Cold and Serenity in some measure yet they are also Slippery Aspects will Fawn and Frown I do not speak of bringing Cold in Winter and Heat in Summer-time but they will bring you Cold and Heat Calm and Storm not at one Instant but in the same Term in one Senary of Days and as we have before owned in ♃ ☉ is a violent Aspect a kin to his Brethren § 10. What Paradox do I broach now Must we not all believe Experience For who can dissemble Kepler's Noctu per pluit in 1622. Pluit largè 1623. with Continua Pluviae to boot Nix multa 1625.

for Sickly Seasons Accute Diseases c. which Maginus adds Let the Learned World pardon me if I do again averr it and strike the Nail homer yet than I have done already with all safety to our most Holy Religion and the blessed Author of it § 16. For is it not a Childish Argument to say God made all things Good i. e. conformed to his own Idea therefore there is no Malefique Creature Not to enquire curiously what should have been the natural Course in the Innocent State we suppose our Apostacy and Rebellion towards God and so we believe with Siracides that Fire and Teeth of Wild Beasts and Stings of Serpents were made for Vengeance that the Sun may now burn us by Day and the ☽ annoy us by Night that the Stars of Heaven may be Worm-wood and have a bitter and unkind Influence The ☉ conduces to Feavers and the ☽ to Frenzies and Epilepsies § 17. And verily This Observation found me when I thought it not came dress'd to me in its own Light while I was attending to the various Shapes and Changes of the Air no suggestion to my remembrance of any Astrologers Antient or Modern taught me to suspect what I afterwards found that the Distempers of the Season depend upon what the Season it self depends the Aspects and Positions of the Celestials Galen also so long ago saying the same Feavers Catarrhs Small Pox Fluxes Pestilence c. according to the difference of the Clime and the Patient do annoy us when the Heavenly Bodies Transit or take up Station in such Parts of the Zodiack There is no denyal of it § 18. Kepler in his Diary hath observed it seems amongst his Germans Catarrhs and Coughs At Lintz A o 1621. April 20. Coughs at Saganum in Silesia Febr. V. A o 1629. Catarrhs Who would suspect such a Malady had any relation to the Planets above Cold Air and a Moist Brain c. These are Physical Causes internal of Catarrhs But of late strange Experience taught us in London yea all Europe that saving all such internal and proximate Efficiency some strange Aspect Single or Complicate disturbs the Humour For the Case was of one Night even of One wherein a manifest barking Cough had seiz'd the generality of Young and Old Octob. 26. 1675. Verily there was an Aspect of ♀ and ♂ with an ☍ of ♄ which occurring as rarely as its pretended Effect may be suspected for some Cause of it However this was ♄ then but the Catarrhs of Germany no body is so fit to acquaint us herein as Kepler belong to our Jove-Martial-Aspect In both these several years and Months we shall find a ☌ ♃ ♂ the First Jan. 22. the Second Febr. 10th and that you may suspect here also they were a Cause you shall find no other Coughs or Catarrhs elsewhere specified § 19. To proceed these Catarrhs are noted to have happened within a day or Two if not the very day of the Configuration where I desire the good Readers favour while He observeth that we labour after a Determinate Punctual Prognosis even of Maladies as well as Constitutions of the Air we do not pronounce indeterminately and leave the Determination of the Event to its proper unknown Cause and Father it when it happens upon its pretended Assignation That is the Vulgar imperfect way but we match the Effect to the Cause acknowledging no Postu●●ous Brood in our Midwifry Then and there appeared the Effect not sooner nor later Aestival Part.
