the birth by reason Libra follows which is her proper House As for Mars and Saturn it is held on all hands that their Influence is not so pernicious in their own Houses as in Houses proper to other Planets by reason their proper Houses being more natural to them they pour not out their malign influence to that degree as is other cases As for the rule of the Planets by turns they are these On Saturday the first hour of midnight reigneth Saturn The second hour Jupiter The third Mars The fourth Sol. The fifth Venus The sixth Mercury The seventh the Moon And so beginning again in the like order hold on their course throughout all time making their changes each Planet ruling the first hour of that day attributed to it as Sol Sunday Luna Monday Mars Tuesday Mercury Wednesday Jupiter Thurday Venus Friday Saturn Saturday And their dispositions are these Saturn causes a firm and stable prudence Jupiter a righteous justice Mars a constant force and puissence Sol an ardent charity and good nature Venus mildness and affability Mercury fluentness of speech and a wary cunning Luna a moderate temper softness and effeminancy Therefore the hour of Saturn is good to undertake deep Councils and Affairs that require great prudence to conduct and bring them to perfection The hour of Mars ●o undertake warlike enterprizes or any ●iolent or dangerous attempts Jupiter's hour ●s good to enter upon Places Offices and Preferment The hour of Sol is good to require and seek for the favour of Potentates and great men The hour of Venus to sollicite Love and seek a reconciliation with those who are at enmity with you The hour of Mercury to undertake the out-witting or circumventing your adversary The hour of the Moon to enterprize business of Navigation or any thing relating to Water Again Saturn causeth death dearth and peace Jupiter a cessation of quarrels and strife a quiet and temperate life Mars Winds Thunder Lightnings Quarrels Contentions Strife and Blood-shed Sol Long-life Health and Prosperity Venus causeth Vigor-Love Friendship and Fruitfulness Mercury causeth Controversies Law-suits Contests and Contentions The Moon causes great Floods and Inundations Dropsies and all watery Diseases incident to either Sex And thus much as to these particulars CHAP. XXXVI Of the Pythagorean Wheel commonly called the Wheel of Fortune and what is to be observed thereby as to good or bad Fortune relating to man or woman ALthough this by some may be esteemed needless in a treatise so amply furnished with variety yet that nothing that may contribute to the advantage of the Reader in this nature may be omitted I have thought fit to insert these following Instructions Would you know the result of any Question chuse a number not exceeding thirty that you best fancy to that add the number or the day and the first Letters of your Name which probably may stand Figures divide the number by three and if the result be even then will what you demand come to pass but if odd not or at least not without vexation and delay Would you know whether you shall enjoy the party you love in this case take the first Letters of your Christian and Sirnames add thereto the number of the Planet and day of the Week all which in one conjunct number divide by thirty and if it fall out in the upper part of the Wheel you will have your wish but if it happen in the lower part you will find many crosses if not altogether miscarry therein Another understanding of this Wheel is thus Chuse a number according to your pleasure add to it the day of the Month then the Letters of your Name which united in one sum divide by thirty which number if it happen to be 154 so divided the overplus will be 14 which number being found in the upper part of the Wheel promises success but if in the lower part renders it doubtful if not altogether impossible to bring to pass Another way there is by Alphasier in case of Victory or who shall overcome which is by comparing the Names of the parties and substracting the numbers of signification adding to each the number three and in such cases the day of the Month and the Planet being the additional if the three or thirteen remain the Supernumerary to one of the parties he may expect success and so in other cases relating to love business friendship fidelity riches truth falshood prosperity and adversity honesty dishonesty malice evil intention fraud or the like too tedious herein to be inserted CHAP. XXXVII An account of the good and bad days in each Month relating to Sickness and Health IF any party fall sick on the first day of the Month the third day is to be feared the which if he pass he will in all probability recover If on the second day he or she fall sick though the sickness may be tedious yet is there great hopes of recovery He rhat falleth sick on the third day if he pass the next change of the Moon there is great likelihood of his recovery He or she that falleth sick on the fourth day is in danger of continuing sick to the twenty-eighth day To fall sick on the fifth day denotes much pain and trouble yet promises a recovery To fall Eck on the sixth day threatens the party with danger of death after a long sickness To ●ll sick of any dangerous disease on the se●enth day may notwithstanding hope for recovery To fall sick on the ninth day pro●ises a speedy recovery To fall sick on the ●enth day is dangerous To fall sick on the ●leventh day promises a speedy recovery To sll sick on the twelfth day is in danger of ●eath within fifteen days following To fall Eck on the thirteenth day denotes the recovery will not be besore the eighteenth day To fall sick on the fourteenth day promises ● quick recovery To fall sick on the fifteenth day denotes danger of life unless the party recover within eighteen days after following To fall sick on the sixteenth day promises a recovery after much affliction To ●ll sick on the seventeenth day denotes the party to be in danger of death To fall sick on the eighteenth day denotes the party soon to recover To fall sick the nineteenth day ●enotes the party shall recover To fall sick the twentieth day signifies that sickness to be ●hort and that it will end in health To fall sick the twenty-first day promises a recovery if the party escape the ten days following To fall sick on the twenty-second day promises the same with the twenty-first He that falleth sick the twenty-third day though he shall endure much pain shall recover To fall sick the twenty-fourth day signifies the sickness to be very short and the like is signified to the party falling sick on the twenty-fifth day he that falleth sick on the twenty-sixth day shall before the sixth day of the insuing Month recover He that falleth sick on the

twenty-seventh day is threatned with a tedious sickness if not death He that falleth sick on the twenty-eight day is in the like like danger with the party foregoing As for the over-plus days by reason February has but twenty eight days and that the other two or three which are in some Months being properly allowed to compleat the Sun's Revolution and not the course of the Moon it is the opinion of the Learned that no direct Inferences can be drawn from thence but rather in that case to begin again as if they appertained to another Month reckoning one two or three as the Month falls out and count in this case the success as in the beginning of this Chapter of favourable and unfortunate days CHAP. XXXVIII The fixed Stars and their Scituation profitable for Mariners by which they may be directed how to Steer c. FOr a more full continuation of this work I have not thought it amiss to nominate the Celestial Signs with the Stars that appertain to or are compacted in them and ●hose that are so spangled are divided into three parts some of which are placed in the Circle of the Zodiack some of them called Northern and others Southern Stars those that are placed in the Zodiack have sundry Names attributed to them according to the fancy of the Antients not that they resemble the Creatures or such but it is supposed on all hands that those Names was given them by Artists to distinguish them or at least as ●he Sun entering those Signs sympathizes more or less with the nature of such Creatures as the Ram the Bull and the like In the Back of Taurus or the Bull are placed the Stars called Pleiades In the head of Taurus six Stars called the Hijades The Stars standing before the Feet of Gemini are called Propus and that as it were cloudy part of Heaven which is Cancer is known by the Name of Persephe the two Stars dimly shining that are near it are called Alini and the bright Star in the middle of Leo is named the Lyon's Heart the bright Star at the Fingers end of the left hand of Virgo is called SpikaVirginis the little Star at the right hand of Virgo is called Protigettes the four Stars that are at the right hand of Aquarius are called Urnathe Stars that go from the Tail of Pisces are called Lines and in the South Line nine Stars are contained and only five in the North the brighter Star in the Lines end is called Nodus and these are accounted useful Stars Those between the Zodiack and the Northern Pole are accounted Northern As thus Ursa Major and Ursa Minor Draco that lies between the Bears Artophylax Corona Engon Asin the Harp the Vulter the Eagle the Serpent and Serpentine the Arrow and the Dolphin Prottomo Hyppy the Horse that is near Hyppacas Caepheus Cassiopia and Romeda Perseus Auriga Deltoton Bernices here likewise there are other Stars who for their plain appearance had their names from the notable Stars about the middle shank of Arctophilax and are called Arcturus and the shining Star placed by the Harp borrows its name from the Sign the Stars at the top of Perseus left hand are named Gorgons the clear Star in the Shoulder of Auriga is called the Goat the two lesser Stars at the extremity of the hand are called the Kidds and all that lye on the South side of the Zodiack are Southern signs their Names as follow Orion the Centaur the Beast that he holds in his hand Thyrsylocus the Rehale the Southern-Fish the Skinker of Aquarius the Flood of Orion the Southern Crown the Road that lyeth by Hyparcus and in these there are Stars that have taken proper names the bright Star in Prokyou is called by that name the bright Star in the South Dogs mouth is called the Dog or Dog-star The Star that shineth in the top of Argo is call'd Canopius And thus much touching these Stars which well considered may in a great measure be a help to Sailers in directing their Course especially in those Seas where the Stars are the most material Guide As for the two Tropicks they are Cancer and Capricorn the first the Summer Tropick or Oblstice being the boundards of the Sun and the two extreams of the twelve Signs The Poles are Artick and Antartick North and South the former by reason of its Elevation is visible in our Horizon but the latter is depressed and not visible in the Northern parts of the World These Poles are no other than a certain number of Stars that making in a manner a Circle turn only round never rising and seeing as the other Stars from whence they derive their names of Poles or as it were Centres of the Spheres on which they turn and move about CHAP. XXXIX An Essay by way of Discourse of the substance and nature of Heaven and Celestial Bodies c. or a Scheme of Divine and Natural Philosophy THough this to some may seem strange yet may it not altogether prove unprofitable being drawn from Reason general and particular Observations as likewise from the Opinions of the Learned First Then I shall thus proceed that amongst all Creatures in Heaven and Earth some are spiritual and others corporal by the spiritual is meant those that have no body or visible substance as Angels and the Souls of Men now in this case some have life and others not some are lasting and immutable others perishable and corruptible some motion and ther 's without motion and amongst those which are without life there is difference in two points some have natural motion the rest want it and amongst those which have this motion some are mutable corruptible and subject to change the rest not persisting always in their Estate during the course of this World stones and metals c. are of the number of those that have neither life nor any natural moving whatsoever but participate with the Stable Earth The Water Air and Fire are Creatures the which though wanting life yet have the motion and are subject to all corruption as are all other Creatures composed of Elements whether they retain life or not for by reason they are compounded of matter and contrary qualities they do at length corrupt and are changed not in regard of the first nature and substance which perishes not tho it changeth Forms but returneth always into the same Element whereof every compound consisteth and notwithstanding stones and metals are exceeding hard yet are they not Exempt from corruption but are consumed by Usage but the Celestial Bodies consists of such matter nature and substance that being in perpetual motion they ever persevere and are intire in their first form not being subject to change in Bodies or any way consuming like other Creatures that are under them As for the matter and substance of the Celestial Bodies it has occasioned divers disputes amongst the Learned for some even Phylosophers have affirmed that the Heavens and Stars are
