in the same place Ergo the Sun and Moon are not the Causes But still the Argument is Cripple which saith Ergo not the Heavens A blind Consequence that sees not more Lights than two in the Heavens It will be said that by the same day 12 Month or 19 Years rather the Objection means the Sun Moon and Fixed Stars What then Are not the Planets overlook't Do they make nothing of a World The Planets are Worlds They know the Sun is bigger than the Earth a World Celestial â is a World as say Pretenders less than the Sun c. Now for the Fixed Stars what hath the same day 12 Months to do with any of them But those few only that relate to the Sun and Moon there posited If the Objector do believe as he doth not that the Fixed are concerned with the Sun the Controversie would be soon dispatch't for the Fixed would also be found to be concerned which relates to â 's or â 's places c. And that which is a high Truth VII Companies at least of the Fixed are concerned every day according to the number of the Erratiques which transit by them And if it rains not the same day 12 Month the failure proceeds from the different marshalling of those Companies But the VII are always engaged to every day of the Month or year And hence comes the Halt or delay of the Weather which the Objection takes notice of Most times the beginning of March is Stormy sometimes the End not according as the matter is prepared as if the Womb of the Air teemed so many Days Weeks and Months before it brought forth and then by the same degrees returned to its Sterlity This is the Grave Idea which men have of Natures Productions attributing to One what belongs to VII For Matter may be prepared and unprepared and prepared again as often as the Air is overcast and the Winds blow hollow and drive away the Clouds Matter may be prepared in an Hours time the Wind may turn in an Instant verily as soon as the Sun is set 't is ordinary for the Wind to vere about 'T is ordinary for one Wind to blow by Night and another by Day The Barometer will shew us the Truth of this which will change in an Hour or two from Fair to Rainy and never shews above a day before hand The reason is when there are more Workmen about the Preparation then is imagined the more sudden is the Effect So that hence also comes that Dissonancy of the Weather not complyant with the Season Cold at Midsummer and warm at Christmass because every Planet but the Sun Venus and Mercury are at liberty The Sun first makes the Season Venus and Mercury attend him but the â½ we know and â â and â may saunter or make Excurons where they please to take up their Winter Quarters by themselves while the Sun and his Gang are meteing out the Vernal or Summer Seasons § 74. According to the Nature of the Months April we know is inclined to Rain May to Warmth June to Showres July and August to Heat January to Rain February to Snow March to Hail and Turbulency Suppose these Months be mingled together as they are mixt by Planetary Motion the same Weather will the Planets assuredly make being found in the Signs answering thereto So that if it be warm at time of the year because the Motion of the Sun chalks out the Months of July and August it may Rain at that time because a Fourth Planet may be in April's Quarters and Hail because a fifth may be in Marches Limits And do not the Vulgar confess that many times One Months Weather is found in anothers Yes verily Place now Planets enough in Winter Signs and it may Freeze in March and Snow in April yea as we have heard not impossible in June § 75. Oh! But the same Planets never meet again the second time in the same Place and Posture We answer they may meet again in Equivalent places For do we think there are 365. kinds of Weather Do not divers Places in the Heavens agree in the same inclination Doth it Rain only in April Is not June Dripping and November December c. So the seeming great Objection vanishes Either the same Planets may meet in Equivalent Places or Equivalent Planets may meet in the same Places Verily not Picus nor Gassendus with all their Causes per se or per what they please can give account of One Frost dissolved in Winter No Not after they have felt the Benefit of the milder Air nor of One Chill day in Summer though they have smarted by it much less of a solitary Constitution when one or two days shall strangely thrust themselves into a Month of a Contrary temper They admire and despair to find the Reason why Winter dare not sometimes shew his hoary Head Bald at all times but sometimes not Hoary at all and yet at other times march towards the torrid Zone pass the Line and Face the Aestival Camp No account I say can they give of a White Easter and a Soultry Christmas Snow in May or April and Thunder in December No reason for Long and Lasting Rains seeing the Earths Evaporation is not responsible because the Earth according as the Fires are continually at work Evaporates in Drought as well as Moisture § 76. Gassendus observes indeed p. 996. that the Workmen in the Mines presage Rain upon the rising of the Fumes Subterranean Let those Workmen or some body for them be taught to consult an Ephemeris and they may chance to find some bonny Aspect at that time as we may see in the Aspects of the Superiours which plainly agrees with our Hypothesis and teacheth that all nature is troubled at their Presence being irritated more at one time than another Now that all Nature is troubled to make a digression and the Subterranean Fumes the Evidences of such Trouble do rise at the Presence of Aspects I have met with a remarkable Instance or two to lead in those who can make Additions The First above an hundred years ago in the Month of July An. 1547. which I shall tell in a Famous Doctors own Words in the Margin of his Ephemeris viz.

take the same notice of Dayes extraordinary Dies quidam apud Belgas our Neighbours of Brabant pluviarum atri infames sunt saith Fromond Meteor lib. 5. and he names us one viz. IV or July which he saith they call S t Martin the Dripper quem S. Martini bullientis aut pluvii appellant This Day I find not in every Kalendar but in our English only and not without the Inclination specified Fromond would have pleasured us therefore if he had named the Rest § 6. But the old Verses help us June VIII S. Medard's day Humida Medardi pluvias lux usque minatur And such dayes amongst us are St. John Baptist June XXIV St. Peter's Eve XXVIII Mary Magdal July XXII who is therefore said in the homely Country Proverb to wash S. James ' s Shift while dripping S. James himself saith the same Dialect Christens the Fruit. Add such are St. Bartholmew August XXIV St. Simon and Jude Oct. XXVIII with the day following XXIX the Powder-Treason Novemb. V. c. § 7. All which Dayes being Festival or notable for the Annex of some Mart Fair or other Solemnity could not chuse but come under notice with their Character § 8. Nor have our Ancestors given us days obnoxious to Moisture only we find other Constitutions also noted St. Mark 's day April XXV with his Neighbour St. Walburg's April XXVII and St. Philip and James are marked with an Obelisk for dangerous times of nipping Winds and Blasting Nunc caret aura fide nunc est obnoxia ventis saith one Verse and again Si friget segetes subeunt plerumque perîclum St. Margaret July the XX noted for Thunder Reboat mugitibus Aether St. Matthias for uncertain Air in this remarkable Distich Matthiae glaciem frangit si invenerit illam Ni frangat glaciem tum mihi crede facit As the Satyr thought it strange that a man should with the same breath blow hot and cold so the character of this Day seems as strange § 9. Yea the returns of Constitutions are not always confin'd to single dayes but to series of Dayes whence it comes to pass that some peculiar Dayes in this affair pass into Critical enabling to pronounce somewhat concerning the future Harvest Vintage or Winter for what have we to do with the frivolous Observation of the XII dayes in Christmass as if they were a compendious representation of the Months in the Year or with the Prognosticks on St. Paul's day sure no one Day can give crisis for a whole Year but for a month or a week a shorter term it may Four dayes then there are whose serenity gives fair hopes of a Vintage Vineent Apr. V. Vrban May XXV Assumption Aug. XV. and what Origanus interposes St. Bartholmew Aug. XXIV For Winter Purification Feb.

Visit B. Virg. wet must be expected for a Month saith Origanus though the old Verse speaks more cautelous Si pluit haud poter is coelum spectare serenum Transivêre aliquot ni prius antè Dies If on St. Swithun's day the cry of England is it rains 40 dayes after if on St. Martin's day in Novemb.

Alsted Vranom p. 490. yea there is one critical Day recorded in Aetius the Physician 's time and that must be many hundred years ago concerning the then first day of Decemb. on which if it rained for the most part ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã it held on for 37 dayes Petav. Vranolog p. 421. § 10. Some that shoot without aim may abandon these Observes for superstitious as that of St. Swithuns in Mr. Parkinson's judgment is but where there is Experience and innocent Reason there is no ground for superstitious conceits § 11. For the Experience we have said the most of these dayes were Festival and so observable for the annex of some Solemnity and thence came in the publick Experience for the reason we shall give it in due place in the mean while asserting the truth of St. Swithun's crisis for some dayes after more or less which the Vulgar made a shift to call fourty to hold good ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã as the Greek Kalendars have it and That 's enough CHAP. V. The Sun the great âight justly admired Notwithstanding alone He is not the absolute cause of Heat no not of the Seasons of the Year or the Constitution of the Day Chance excluded An Objection solved § 1. THis is enough for Demonstration of the Fixed Returns of the Weather and those Returns father'd on the Heavens by reason and consent universal Now in the Heavens what but the SUN can produce these Effects in their respective Periods the Sun being so regular a Mover that some have scrupled to call him a Planet § 2. And who goes to debar the Sun of his due let not us that contemplate the Heavens be guilty of it Let Theologie it self teach us that the Sun is a great Minister the Light and Life of the World without it no difference of Clime or Season no Spring no Summer no Autumn All Time would be Winter Horrid Winter the Sea a Mountain of Ice the Land a Flint and Darkness would usurp his old Dominion over both But sure God hath amongst thousand of other Stars made the Sun appear and commanded him to run an eternal Race in his great Olympiques This Commission as if conscious of the Infinite God he jollily executes and Nothing in the Universe is hid from His Heat At his Rise the Morning-Cloud vanishes the Fog dissolves and the Dew gently exhales Toward Mid-day he bringhteth the Air into a chearful Saphir and guildeth the Borders of the very Clouds with a costly limbus All the Earth basketh in his Light while the Clay is calcin'd by his Heat When he pleaseth he imprinteth his Face on the Roscid Cloud and decircinates the Iris with his Pencil He draweth the Waters as through an Alembick and gageth the Depth with his Beam The Current of the Seas observe his Tekupha's and flock All to the place of his Residence Where he keepeth Court is the greatest conflux the Stream makes hast to kiss his feet He raiseth Thunders in his vertical strength and gives fire to the Priming of his Clouds He raiseth a gentle Brise in the Aestival Morn and fanneth the Husbandman in the cool of the Evening When he mounteth he banisheth the Frost and confineth it as by the power of his Spell to the Ends of the Earth The Flowers of the field open for his Entertainment and the Birds of the Air observe his Night-watches they give a signal as from their Watch tower and chaunt their Reveille to the Sons of the Night All the
Sense will be given to the Testimonies the Expression is bottom'd on nothing but what we plead for the warmer Rayes of the Moon For as to the First Testimony Rheumes and Indispositions of the Head therefrom may be raised it is confess'd by the Power of the Moon imputed to the Falling of the Dew but as justly ascribed to the Moisture of the Brain and its Fermentation by the Nightly Beam As to the second the Rare and Choice Fruits once growing in the several Walks of Paradise and still according to the time of Year put forth in their Seasons is as beautiful a Contemplation as Spectacle owing their Original to the Night as well as Day to the Sun as also to the Moon which even in Vegetation is Solis vicaria My Lord Bacon I remember assuring me so much that the Night contributes as well as the Day as in Artificial Preparations sometimes a quicker sometimes a slacker Heat is requisite § 20. Guâ de Val Physician to the most Christian King who gave us a fair Edition of Aristotle A o 1654 tells the University of Paris News of Plants Solar and Lunar these latter he saith are Brisker Broader Fairer Sweeter and every way more pleasant by Night than by Day such are the Convolvulus caeruleus a Bell-Flower call'd by Artists Flos Noctis with another or two of the same kind the Indian Mogli totâ nocte sub amicâ Lunâ flores expandit tantâque pulcritudine micantes imò tantâ odorum suavitate fragrantes ut incolas omnes rapiat in sui admirationem called Arbor Tristis because it hangs like dead and wither'd in the Day-time Next Geranium triste 't is pity they are Indian Plants which smelleth like Musk saith Mr. Parkinson for he also bears witness to the Curiosity at Night only not at all in the Day-time as refusing the Sun's Influence but delighteth in the ⽠§ 21. As popular an Argument as This is the Instances make out that the Dew gently falling upon the Flower advances the Sent that the Nights have their Warmth that the Moon when it shineth for 't is not yet time to assert the Influence of a Star at what time 't is hidden hath a soft cherishing Beam and Reason tells us that what is accomplish'd sensibly in a Few may hold though less sensible in All. For the aperture and explication of the willing Flower betrays a kindly Warmth breathing upon it from the Ambient as we see an Anemone which closes at Night will open again as in the day-time by the immersion of the Stalk in warm liquor in which warmth the Moon when it shineth especially will be concerned So that 't is no Paradox for the Moon to conduce to Vegetation Maturation c. the Sun ripeneth the Moon attempereth and distributeth the proper Juice The One baketh the Other as it were soketh that I may use Pastery Terms the Fruits of the Season Antiquity therefore hath ascribed Fertility to the Moon Canentes ritè crescentem face Noctilucam Prosperam frugum saith the Lyrick And another in his Hymn saith well Tu cursu Dea menstras Metiens iter annuum Rustica Agricolae bonis Tecta frugibus imples Which may serve for a Commentary on our Words of the Text. There is one Testimony more behind which may take place in the Lunar History speaking out the plain Philosophy of Hippocrates or Nature rather concerning the Acounts of the Moon as to Animals and the set times of their Geniture For as 't is a fine Contemplation to consider the Times of the Year wherein they are excited to Propagation Spring Autumn or Winter for some strangely choose That most barren Season which Naturalists justly enough principally refer to the Sun Ptolem. I. 2. because 't is a set time of the Year so from this Season of Propagation there is a Fixed term for their Birth Yeaning Calving c. justly ascribed to the Moon because 't is a Term of Months as before was observ'd Hear the Philosopher Knowst thou the Time when the Wild-Goats the Rupicaprae Ibices of the Rock bring forth Canst thou mark when the Hinds do calve Canst thou number the Months they fulfill Job XXXIX 1 2. Months to be fulfill'd and numbred now from Months you may as well exclude the Moon 's Course as Influence the Heavens measure Motion but the Sun and Moon are not bare Measures not in Motions which tend to Life and Vegetation they are Moderators as well as Measurers seeing Life consists in Warmth and Moisture to which the Moon is no Enemy Yea the Number of these Months are some of the ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã H. Writ speaks of Gen. I not only Politick or Ecclesiastical Festivals the Feasts of the New Moon c. but the word is applied also to Natural Seasons the set times when the Stork in the Prophet and the Swallow and the Crane recede and return again the set times of the Summer-fruit the Olive the Date according to their Months say the Jews the Time of Life in the History of Abraham Gen. XVIII 10. and elsewhere And All this is Reasonable with Aristotle in that great Chapter de Generat Animal lib. IV. 9. who was shie in the admission of any thing which he could gainsay his words are Copious ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã Reasonably therefore do Philosophers define the times of all Procreation Gravidation and Life it self to be measured by Natural Periods By Periods I mean the Day Night Month Year and what Greater Times are measured by them as the Less not forgetting the Revolutions of the Moon the Full Moon the Interlunia and the Quartiles Now the Moon is as it were a Less Sun and therefore it conduces to all Generations and their Perfections and after That Corruptions for the Motions of these Planets do comprehend the Beginning and End of all Three Thus and more the Philosopher For the Evidence of these things being such as cannot be resisted no marvel if he applaudeth them who elsewhere giveth his Testimony to the seeming-mystical Septenary Number as Hippocrates before who treating of Fishes and the History of their Procreation he saith that the Female teem some of them not above 30 days some less but none of them go any time but what may be divided into and therefore measured by the Septenary Number Hist Animal VI. 17.

Sun runs in September there may be ample space for a Glorious Iris to embrace the Spectators while â â â â¿ â all in â or concerned thereabout stand and look on nevertheless we are not over-fond to impute our Concentrick Irides to this Aspect for â â and â being in â 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. â but whether â¿ cannot being within 14 degrees of the Sun That I question Yea it may be that â â â 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 â heretofore help't to send us Hail the same is He complicated with â 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 â who in certain Signs I find viz. from â to â 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 â and â no nor from Fiery Signs whereas in these Signs preceding â and â 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 â to be a Fiery Sign the Evidence now brought will speak to it But where is â and â 2ly What have we to do with Earthly Signs â surely was never Dry nor â over Cold. 3ly What if a Sign be Airy and Watry too â for one 'T is impossible Lastly That any one Sign should equally partake of any one Character when as one and the same Sign â 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 â â and â be in the same Sign there may be Thunders Nay rather if â and â be at a Sign or Two Distance before or after This Table shews a Storm is impending If â and â be in â when the â is in â as above A o 1678. or be in â when the â is almost in â 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 â â â 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 â â â Diary A o 1652.

The Account you have received the Aspects are but short howbeit they run the Zodiaque once round and That brevity will be pardoned in me who conceal nothing for fear of being discover'd You may see by the Sum § 13. that according to our Method the Aspect conduces I had almost said as much to Moisture as Serenity § 16. How comes it to pass then that â â have been voic'd for Fair Weather Is it because of the difference of the Climate Is it because Serenity as I said is more taken notice of One Fair Day making amends for Two Foul Days or is it because at the close of the Fair Day â â appear in the Western Angle and make a fine Spectacle so ampliating the Serene Day preceding by an Illustrious Close â and â making the most notable Congress in the Heavens the Fair Couple of the Celestial Court or Is it because in the Hour of Serenity These Two Stars add to the Glory of the Serene Day beside what the Usurping Sun challenges to himself though the Truth is 'T is we ascribe All to the Sun which the Sun challengeth not § 17. For shame will some say Doth not â â â make Fair Weather I have answered and I cannot recall it In such Circumstances of Non-assistance Vacancy of a mediate Sign or co-arctation of Place So â â are white Boys and bring you such Lovely Weather as makes Life it self the sweeter § 18.

should vouchsafe this Truth which none of our Moderns for want of Experience have dared to accept I was not little pleased I say to observe that those Pagan Friends of ours who speak of the Inundations of Tigris and Euphrates from this Aspect found in one certain Sign in which I know they speak true by the way should tell us that in other Signs â and â make great Colds in â Snow in â great Cold in â Astrol Anglic. dist IV. Lib. 1. § 7. Surely the Summer Months then are not quite free for in May 1661. we find Frost Morn yet hot day noted A o 1663. Mense Junii Hail 3 or 4 times In Sept. 1665. Notable Frosty Cold Weather In March 1675 Icy Frosts Hail Hail die 8. Snow die 9. yea Frost Ice Snow and Hail all on Die 15. But Sept. 20. Shews black Frost in 1679. And this moves us easie People to believe Old Traditions § 8. I said we would begin with the least offensive Influence and that was Cold I hinted thereby contrary to the vulgar Presumption that Cold is not always a wholsom innocent Constitution no not in Winter In Summer perhaps it will be said that it is unseasonable and therefore may not be agreeable For I fancy I may distinguish to speak rudely two Spirits of Cold the one proceeds by Nature the other by the Chymistry of the Heavens i. e. by mixing Two Hot Ingredients to produce Gold as our Noble Pyrophilus offers The Cold proclaimed under our Aspect or its Equivalent answers to this later Production Two Luminous Planets conspiring to effect it I remember in the year 1665. a year which we ought all to remember who were concerned when in the Month September there came Notable Frost Cold and Winterly Weather All men gladded themselves with this Conclusion That the Plague would cease I doubted it then having found by Observation that â and â had a Hand in Both and the event was too true the Sickness abated not upon it but rather rose to its Fatal Height When the Cold came by the ordinary way of Nature i. e. Separation of Calorific Bodies then God be thanked we thought of returning to our dear Native City but before that the Observer durst not venture Now for the Winter even there we find Frost and a Cold Dec. and yet great Suspicions of Hurtful Influence our Aspect being confest as may appear by the Murrainer of Cattle in that time and the Eruption of Evil in Youth which accompanyed it § 9. Now though our â to speak of that alone may ordinarily produce a Frost and help to continue the same put up by other Causes yet the Hyemal part shews the Turbulent Nature of our Planets in Winds not only cold and cutting but High and Disorderly Twice or Thrice do we meet with Fury and Damage often with Lofty and Hurrying Gusts The beginning of January 1668. and the Close of Dec. tells us of Lightning in the Holy-days Destroying Towers of Churches As for the great Tide noted about that time it seems but a single Instance but we may reckon for it or the like in our Doctrine of Inundations § 10. How turbulent are we in the Summer then Winter I hope is the more Turbulent Season November December January and February and March also For all Observation gives in November and December to be notable for Turbulency witness our Hyemal Breviat so of the rest yet in the Summer-time as short as our Notice is for the Longer will tell you another Tale â and â bring then I say High Winds and Rain June 1652. and Store of Thunder at the same time Store of Rain in Sept. 1654. and Thunder on the 23d day Sad Rainy Day April 26. 1661. with Heat after A o 1663. Thunder and Hail violent Storms in June Stormy in Sept. 1665. Heat and Meteors all June 1677. Rain and Lightning Hard Rain and Flashes of Lightning Sept. 1679. § 11. We must not forget the Dryth for what conduceth to Frost conduceth to a dry State of Air in Summer especially The Figure of Leo and Aquarius happily shew I do not say prove the One should be Dryer than the Other July Fairer than Jan. This we note to stop the Mouths of those who dipping upon this place perhaps may be apt to condemn us for the Rain which falls under this Aspect which we think observable though the greater number of the Days be free from it § 12. Maginus tells us if the Aspect hap in the same Quarter with the Sun it produces Soultry Heat in eadem Quarta as I remember in the Antients signifies the same Quarter of the year and That is reason and confirmed by our Aestival Breviat Proviso that you understand the Effects of Heat too Storms Rains Thunders as the Fit takes them In the same Sign with the Sun it must needs do the like § 13. He tells us further that in this Aspect we must regard which Planet hath most Prevalency and why because if Jove prevails happy go lucky but if â prevail then come Droughts and Sickness and Alia Mala suboriuntur To which I say I heartily acknowledge â and â to be a Weighty and Dire Aspect I may say and I fear others will be of my Mind before we have done But I understand not the Mamareth or Elevation of the Arabs or if I do I see not the suitable difference of the Effect Fortitudes and Dignities of Planets are Terms not to be wholly exibilated for a Planet above the Horizon is more strong than below Of Northern Latitude they say more strong than the Southern concerning which in another place But yet as they are vulgarly taught I speak as to our Affair They are to me Quick-Sands I find no Footing This I was willing to do what Ptolemy and Others speak of Dominion of a Planet to apply it to a â or some great Aspect â or â¡ and I found it to accord For a Planet encouraged or irritated if it have any Influence must shew its Strength by that Irritation Now such Irritation is found in the greater Aspects § 14. The like I say of Fires and Conflagrations which are imputed to this Aspect especially I know not but Ptolemy may mean only the accident of Firing of Trees and Woods by excessive Heat in his more Southern Countreys as hath bin touched before or Firing of Buildings by Lightning and this may be too true then and since in those places And if true it helps to abett the Immortal Influence of Planets which are the Divine Instruments of Vengeance but if otherwise he means though I shall not go about to deny some seeming Evidence which may be brought therefore I say I am not engaged to meddle in it nor do I believe it can or will be ever made out The Effects which we teach have a natural dependance on their Causes as Rain depends on Heat as the Colour of the Rainbow depends on Light § 15. But to make amends
to avoid Repetition omitted those Aspects Jovial that are co-incident whether with â or â c. which must be allowed their Weight and Strength according to their Fortitude yet so as not to exclude the Influence of our Termagant which is as the Basis to every I fusion that is mixed therewith or like the Keel the first Poundation-Piece of a Ship whereunto all the Minor Aspects for the time being are Riveted and Mortaised like the Ribbs of the Vessel § 6. But what hath been hitherto our Method which I hope upon due consideration will be taken in good part we must consider this our supreme Configuration at the wrong end of the perspective viz. with its abbreviature first and after survey it in its farther extent § 7. The abbreviature will shew us the Nature in Little and notwithstanding afford us some Extravagances sometimes whereby a suspicion will be raised of some Stranger and stronger Power that lies Couchant between the configur'd Pair § 8. My Reader would I fear be at a loss if I should transcribe the Character of this Aspect from our Elders as from Cardan the Congress of â and â saith he as to the qualities of the Fixed and the Signs where it happens does affect the Air for many days with fair Weather or Rain or Winds Comment in Ptol. if the Luminaries at least be Aspected Is he not almost ridiculous But that he hath a Salvo from the Sign and the Fixed Stars which determine the Dis-junctive Regiomantanus saith For many days before and after it brings great Drought in â â â the Fiery Signs and in Watry Signs â â â it brings Rains Flouds Inundations Particularia Diluvia This is very well But then in Aerial Signs I hope it brings Winds in â â â In Earthy Signs Frost and Snow â â â Regiomont dare not say so of this whatsoever he hath said of an Aspect in General Maginus is as cautelous consenting as to the Drought and Flouds but passing by the other Moiety of the Denomination of the Signs He comes to the Quarters of the year and tells us that In Spring it brings turbid Clouds and moist Air In Summer Hail and Thunder In Autumn Winds and Rain In Winter Turbid Air again Tagliacozzo accords only he restrains the Turbid Constitution to the Spring the Hail to the Summer the Rains and Flouds to Autumn and the Turbid Air in Winter to the Humid Signs only in which the other seems to be indifferent regarding only the Diversity of the Seasons Eichstad after all He went by his own experience ventures not on the premisses or their variety but asserts though not from his own experience what I do now from mine that â and â first hath an Influence for Drought while he brings Instances from 1516. 1614 of which in due place and expressing himself further in Keplers way who fancies that the great â of the Superiours hinders the Concoction of the Earth so that it cannot attract the Waters of the Ocean whereupon must issue Drought § 9. We I hope more intelligibly say that â and â produce a Dry Constitution because it produces a Cold one being the two most remote Planets if there were no more but That Cold being the Parent of at least some Species of Drought 2ly We say it produces a Cold Air more often and more Naturally than Heat This few agree to though they admit Hail in Summer which is some Token but it appears Consequent from their very distance beside what else hath bin said before of the Planet â 's Influence 3dly It produceth often with the Cold and the Drought a misty Air Fog and Foeculent confessed at least in Winter But Argol who hath added somewhat of use to what he found in Maginus and consequent to that which I would not forget put in great Dews more often observed in or after foggy Mornings § 10. And this I take to be meant by Kepler when he saith â cum Jove vapidum ex Calentibus terrae latebris edu cit acrem qui in producendis meteoris ingentes habet vires in Optic Paralip p. 274. quoted also by Eichstad where I do not pretend to understand his Philosophy either the Misty Reek out of the Earth or Waters visible as the Fume from a Stable much less that Mists have such tendency to Meteors more than other Clouds but I do assert the Truth of the Aphorism that â and â is an obscure Foggy Congress very frequent § 11. In the mean while we are told our Aspect brings a Settlement as to what happens Rain or Shine for many days but they leave the poor Disciple to determine the Number himself Alass how many 20. years must a Student pass to determine That Notwithstanding they are not to be reproved for the variety of Motions and Habitudes of the Planets are so admirable that no determinate number will fit The year 1682. with 1683. saw 3 â 's meet in one and so it continued 9 Months in the year and the like we shall shew presently in 1622. c. § 12. Now to make out our Cold and Dry Character what with Intelligence from Germany and my own Experience I could produce four of these Grand Conjunctions with their respective Diaries Entire the first whereof and 2d we shall present the first Conjunction though it be Celebrated in the Month of July and in the Sign â a Sign besides other disadvantages which hath no great favour for Cold for Heat rather Thunder and Lightning yet we can be content to make no exception against it but all things consider'd to admit it The Conjunction lies at the Door of July 7 17. but how many degrees we shall expatiate before or after the day of the Conjunction in this our Minor Table which we make praevious to the following larger Diary That is a Question for sundry reasons I have pitch'd upon 8 degrees of Platique Distance not more because I would not overcharge the Reader nor Less least I should wrong the Aspect especially when the Aspect for fear it should be wrong'd seems to me to repeat its Motion not being content as we may see to pass part of September October November December entire A o 1622. but Commences again at April 1. 1623. and so holds on to October 4. Yea a third time from about the end of March 1624. to the beginning of May the same year So falls it out that we have some tast of this Aspect not only the Summer Months of June and July where we find little of his cooling Influence but of the early Spring Months yea of the later Autumn and Winter § 12. For what are Aspects tyed do we think to precise Minutes and Moments the Vanity of that appears from this Grand Conjunction An Astrologer must be lost in a Mist there not knowing whether he goes when Astronomy it self confesseth She is uncertain and does but conjecture at the Moment Hear Kepler's honest confession Planetae
validi tardi non contrabunt suos effectus ad momenta minuta conjunctionis Plenariae speaking of this very Conjunction ut de quibus adhuc ipsa Astronomia incerta est propter subtilitatem Calculators will differ above a Week in the Point What say you if VII days shall not make above one degree distance If VII days before differ but one degree from the precise Conjunction then VII days after differ no more from the Conjunction So there is a fortnight comprehended within a degree's space and a Month within two degree's space reckoning on each side to and from the Conjunction How far this ought to be extended even in meaner Aspects we have before spoke our Mind we make nothing even of ten degrees Distance we have seen â and â Rain excessively even to Flouds at Five yea VII or VIII degrees distance Nay if we have proceeded further which must not be denyed 't is certain if we enlarge upon any Configuration we may safely upon â and â § 13. This we shall prove even from Kepler himself though he be no Friend to Platick Efficacies while he allows an Influence of â and â at such Distance He where he reckons they have took leave one of another yet upon the intervening of a Third Planet finds no such matter For Lo in his account of May 1623. having told us Faithfully that for the space of 12. Days the Weather was in Norico uniform i. e. Cold and Rainy all the while He tells us withall that the Intervention of â with â and â a Sextile he means was the Cause which is the rather to be marked because the Instance is at the Cold Influence Frigus Pluviosum there yea and at Lintz too for there we find Venti frigidi Gelu Pluviosum Yea Nives on May. 11 21. which is somewhat of the Premises And where is â and â then About 5 or 6 degrees distant § 14. In another place being over-loaded with Evidence from the Exalted Influence of the Aspect on Octob. 7 8 9. He cries out till I hear him Non sufficiunt Aspectus in hunc diem What shall we do then Will not a mighty Sextile of â â â â¿ â â falling thereabouts on several Days do the Feat No Non sufficiunt But we must even send for a â â â to make these Sextiles so Potent Now â and â on these days are grad 7. distant at least 'T is true This belongs not to the Cold Influence 'T is all one for that â and â 's Aspect is fetch'd from the Dead to answer for Pranks committed as if they were Living § 15.

From which Diary take Notice how every Month which is more capable hath a cold mark and those which are scarce capable feel the impress of the Aspect by Drought for the overflowings of the Danow in June A o 1623. toward Midsummer I hope is a Rarity and in July we scarce find a Drop of Rain whence Kepler with Reason concludes the Diary of the Month with Siccitas which is no ordinary Style in that Book Surely in New-England we find a Drought noted from June's beginning to the end of July Purch 4. p. 1866. Yea in Germany all July long Even the very Thunders brought no Rain with them according to what is before noted Dry Thunders are an effect of Joves Dominion and yet according to the Diary it Thunder'd five or six times To proceed Winds instead of Rain says Kepler not upon the account of an Exhausted Earth as he imagines but on the account of those Planets that being met resist Moisture and separate it There are a matter of 330 days that we are concerned in for the investigation of this Aspect the Fair Days and the Dry being reckoned which are omitted in the Table 74. in the first Division 121. in the 2d and 20. in the 3d. make even up 200. of that Total 330. And 75. for so many Cold Days occur expresly in the Table then the Influence is manifest 275. of 330. bear Witness to a Dry Cold Aspect § 17.

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 âelestial 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
hath been noted already § 31. The precedent Constitution of the Air helpeth nothing to the Continuation of the same unless the Heavens conspire for the Air being of a thin Body as it is of an easie receptivity for all sorts of Impressions so it easily parts with them unless continued or renewed by a Cause permanent or suppletory § 32. In the defect of which we perceive oft-times to admiration the Constitution vary from one Excess to the other the Wind bloweth where it listeth CHAP. IV. A certain Prescience attainable Prognosticks vulgar The Husbandman's Prognosticks § 1. AS it is the Goodness of God to vouchsafe us Natural Prognosticks of Constitutions ordinary and violent so hath he pleased not to deny a more Noble Artificial Prognostick of the same § 2. For though no finite Knowledge can be comprehensive of an Effect great or small in every minute Intrigue of Nature or Providence yet so certainly hath God suspended the Constitutions of the Air upon the Heavens that we must assert there is more than a Conjectural fore-knowledge of the changes of the Air by Day or Night attainable upon Contemplation of Causes Celestial and that without Vanity and Superstition or the least shadow of either rather attended with a plerophory of cogent Demonstration § 3. This Kowledge may be exercised in fore-pronouncing the vicissitudes of the Constitution yea and of the Winds also I had almost said to an Hour § 4. The same Knowledge may reach to the Perception of Comets Earth-quakes and Pestilences as having all unquestionable dependance on the Heavenly Bodies though these three last deserve Treatises by themselves § 5. Prognosticks of Husbandmen and others from Birds and Beasts before mentioned as they are useful and delightful so they do not supersede our Inquisition seeing they pronounce from Arguments extrinsecal Effects or Signs and not from Causes § 6. Prognosticks from Apparences in the Air from the Halo Iris colours of the Sun-rising c. Clouds and their differences prognosticks from the Moon at three dayes old from fiery Trajections as they are not to be neglected because of some accidental Connexion so they ought not to be trusted upon their single report yet some are more special as fiery Trajections when frequent ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã shooting of the Stars Ptol. II. 14. do usually speak some Tempest at hand or if not excess of Heat § 7. The Comet also signifieth infallibly some Excess and that lasting but whether that prove as to Wind or Drought or Wet they do not determine that Determination belongeth to no one Apparence § 8. Nay Comets many times have nothing to do with Prognosticks being a sign of Wet or Drought or Wind and that a consequent sign teaching us to look backward only on the antecedent past Excess § 9. Vulgar Prognosticks and those Other of a genuine Astrology i. e. Art and Experience stand not on even Ground for they reach only Constitutions immediately subsequent pronounce for to morrow or next day the Other pronounces at distance at a large prospect and that if need be concerning a whole Season The most sagacious Birds can give no certain aim at a whole Winters Constitution come they or go they sooner or later They come upon a natural Presumption of the Regularity of the Season in which the Poor things are sometimes deceived as Pliny quotes the year where an After-winter destroy'd many but the Theory of Art foretells both the irregular Interruptions of a Season with the Restitutions and that many Cycles of Years before the Arrival § 10. Prognosis Astrological that is genuine floteth not on uncertain Principles but knoweth whereupon it ought to fix § 11. Tempestatam rerúmque quasdam statas esse causas manifestum est Plin. II. 39. This is the Principle on which it fixeth for certainly the Annual Revolution or recurrence of the same Constitution or Inclination thereto doth uncontrollably evince some Fixed Cause which maketh the same Revolution to meet with the Effect § 12. Wherefore to all Noble Prognostick Experience must be premised Observation being laid up in store for some years before hand of the daily and sometimes hourly Alterations CHAP. IV. Some Determinate Dayes which have a peculiar Character and Disposition produc'd from the Antient Kalender Some Critical Dayes The Observation upon S. S within no Superstition § 1. THE Ancient Diary of the Egyptians Chaldees yea the Ancient Philosophers and Mathematicians of the Greeks and Latines Democritus Meton Euctemon Eudoxus Calippus Conon Hipparchus Caesar Columel Pliny and Ptolemy for the Africanes do incourage us in our Principle For as we see some Months Regularly and therefore Naturally incline to Cold Warm Dry Moist in like manner some Dayes of the Month even of the same Month have their proper individual Inclination to Cold Drought Moisture Heat of which the Kalendars inform us not yet out of Date to our purpose § 2. We will consider the Excesses of Weather throughly noted therein e. g. Much Rain Dec. XVII Much Wind Jan. XXII Great Heat Aug. XV. Horrid Tempest from the South Oct. ult From the North Dec.

Tempestas plerumque oritur pluvia and all these Kalendar-men whenever they speak absolutely without terms of Diminution there they are to be understood as to the most part otherwise the Observation were ridiculous § 4. Shall we take Observation nearer Home and that from an Enemy within less than 200 years Mirandula himself hath given us some account of Dayes confessed Hazardous at Sea contr Astrol III. c. 13. p. 482. such as Feb. VI. XII XV. XVII XIX XX. Mart. I. VII XV. XVII XIX XXV April II. for so it should be read V. VI. XII XX. § 5. Yea not Italians or Seamen only but all Nations and Functions have so much Interest in seasonable Weather that they
that the Days are always or most part Character'd in their Constitution according to her accesses or recesses to the Sun or Tropicks Secondly the Mystery would have been kenn'd through the Observation of 2000 years at least seeing the Motions of the Sun and Moon are conspicuous but No body hath pretended to find any Specialties herein excepting three or four days in the month and those too of very remote and uncertain signification for the Moon is a Reflexion and Reflexions are tied to Laws According to the Angle of Incidence so is the Reflexion and the strength thereof but no Constitution of Air is tied and bound to these several Reflexions the Weather returns in such a Month when there is neither the same phasis nor an equivalent § 2. Nay Sun and Moon jointly are not the complete Causes of the Airs Alteration upon several grounds for if so every XIX years Revolution would bring with it the same state of the Year and we should be able to say what would be the Face of Heaven to morrow if we had observed 19 years ago without any great Conjuring § 3. Secondly we argue from the Duration the Same Constitution of Air sometimes lasts a whole week a month yea predominates the best part of a year while the Moon alass every 24 hours changes her phases in two days runs a twelfth part of the Heaven in a Month shifteth all her Schemes and Postures in relation to the Sun § 4. On the contrary we may consider the fickleness of the Weather In two hours yea in half an hours time the face of Heaven shall be Masked clear calm turbulent but in half an hours time the Sun and Moon vary not any considerable difference Sometime it shall rain and shine by Fits with such variety of surprize that if the Moon and Sun had run the Zodiaque in that 12 hours the variety could not have been greater § 5. Next may we take in the violence and extremity of Weather for Heat soultry melting fainting Air for Wind the Fury of Tempestuous blustering rocking the lofty Towers and shaking the best and lowest Architecture Of the extremity of the Heat the Moon supposing the Sun never so much cannot be the Cause the Moon being a Reflexion as was said and a single Reflexion but the Air is heated beyond the power of a single Reflexion as if there were some Anthelii one or two invisible Suns as some have imagined Antiselenae The vulgar impute all to the Sun and on a soultry day say the Sun is very hot but sure the Sun hath some Satellites some invisible Company or Guard that lie behind the Hyacinth-Hangings of the Heavens In the fury of Tempest the vulgar speak more feelingly when they say it Rains as if Heaven and Earth would meet and blows as if it would rend up all before it the Sun and Moon alone give them little supicion of such prodigious strength they rather believe a Devil raging in a Storm than impute such horrid Violences to so sober and civil a Pair as the Sun and Moon are accounted § 6. Add the contrariety of the state of the Air the Sun and Moon may be assigned some Cause of Warmth but who assigns a Cause of Cold the Sun by his oblique annual Accesses and Recesses in the Zodiac dispenses Summer and Winter as by his Diurnal motion he distributes Day and Night The Night and the Winter are acknowledged Both cold by reason of the Sun's Absence or Distance but whence comes the Day to be Cold an Aestival day to be chill Is the Sun the Cause the Cause of Contrarieties and that while Present The Sun cannot be the cause of Darkness when the Sun is present neither can it be the cause of Cold when it affords its presence When therefore a chill Hail-storm follows Lightning and Thunder I ask which of these Two congeles the Hail which kindles the Flash Doth the Moon congele the Storm It may be That 's a tepid Planet Is it the middle Region and the Antiperistasis then it would always Hail not Rain when it Thunders especially for the Hottest days the Fittest for the Antiperistasis but when the lower Region we find is chill'd also when it Thunders with Hail and that at Mid-summer who incourages this Cold what enlarges its Confines 't is too late to talk of Reliquiae Hremis at Mid-summer or in July nor to turn us off with the blind motion of the Matter For what is Uncertain and Confused is Casual and Casualty is inconsistent with Science so inconsistent that it is not to be pleaded by any Lovers of Learning § 7. Lastly the contrariety of the Accident to the Time when e. g. after a Set of close and muddy Days the Air takes its qu and clears up at Mid-night what removes that Curtain 'T is scarce the nature of any Night to remove Clouds her chill Constitution doth rather settle and fix if not seem to gather them the Moon hath not such power for supposing she be up the Sun sometime is hard put to it to take a Mist from the Earth much more the Moon The like we say for Winter the Absence or Depression of the Sun makes cold Weather but How come Winters to be warm warm ordinarily for a Month or more when the Daisie Anemone the Strawberry shall blow and proclaim a favourable Season The Moon for half the time is in Winter-signs as low and humble as the Sun Add when it happens thus that the Day and Night are ordinarily alike as to the Constitution yea the Winter-Nights have commonly most to do being tempestuous at least in the latter end of October and November nay sometimes soultry Nights are found in November as sometimes Thunder and Lightning at Christmas Many a Summer passes and it Thunders not can a Winter-Night be warmer than many a Summer can the Sun in its lowest Degree and Absence withall be more Potent than in Presence and Verticity 'T is more possible for the Sun to raise Thunder in the Frozen Zones if appearing above the Horizon than to play such Pranks in his Winter Nadir As for the Moon how can she by Night or Day operate when she is under the Horizon a Tempestuous Night continues and takes no notice of her Setting and it may Thunder and Lighten in the Winter-night before she rises the Moon as we said doth not so much as look as if she liked such Roister-company CHAP. VIII The other five call'd into the Militia Planets not made for Illumination only Light and Heat the same spirit All the Planets have their Influence Not all of the same Nature or Operation § 1. THere are therefore some Satellites which we spake of to be taken into consideration those five Lights which have been call'd of old by those Heathen Names of Saturn Jupiter Mars Venus Mercury notwithstanding which even by Scripture-precedent may be innocently used § 2.

Our Learned Antagonists as if our ââetences were of Things impossible often ask us how we come distinctly to know the Natures of any Celestial Body the Sun excepted We answer the Method is here before them let Industry and Experience gather such Tables of the Planetary Congresses the larger the better and they shall see as in a Glass the Effects of the Aspect and from thence define the Natures of the Celestial Bodies so configured as much as serves our turn and we know no more of the Sun it self yea the Nature and Character of every Degree in the Zodiack may be so determined or if they will take the pains to adapt a Table for VII years that 's the least to each degree from the Appulse respectively § 33. Only our Evidence for Warmth by our own Table seems not to be so full and Cogent as our Interest requires for under the Title Warm we find but 31. Of Hot Days but 28. in toto 59. What 's this to 261 especially when the cold days are able to face them whose sum is 63. I answer all the warm Hot and Soultry days which occur in the larger Table even in Summer time must needs be ascribed to the Influence of our Aspect Nor will it prove in the end that the Cold Days are equal to the Warm not in these VII years nay nor in any one of them But if it should happen in 15. or 30. years as it cannot well I think that the cold days should have the greatest Poll I would make the equal Reader judge of this Problem whether in this case the Nature of the â½ stands indifferent to Heat and Cold whether the Lunar Light I say can be imagined indifferent as to those qualities seeing Light and Heat are acknowledged the same thing so that the Sun it self would not be Hot but on the account of the Light 2ly Whether it may not probably be said that Heat therefore is an Effect Proper per se and that Cold is Alien and per accidens and if so what Violence would it do to any man's Intellect who shall allow the Sun yea the Moon to be endued with warmth If he should thereupon concede a new superinduced warmth upon their Union and Congress the Learned Gassendus doth the one and not the other 3ly I should smilingly ask who knows but that this our Aspect may be taken upon suspicion for the very Cause of Cold happening so critically on the very day since many of those Days so noted are found even in June July against the very Nature of the Season especially since some Phylosophers I can tell you have heretofore ventured to say that the â½ was a Cold as well as a Moist Luminary § 34. Let us consider again therefore as to the Warmth of the Summer Days here concerned That though the Word Summer smells of the Oven and sounds hot and parching yet notwitstanding he who shall recollect himself from his own Experience and descend into Particulars shall find that every day in the height of Summer it self is not by any inviolable necessity Hot or Warm whose Days often prove cool to a great degree for no small part of the time so that an usual complaint flies about of no Summer many times when Summer is almost expired Therefore whensoever any Day proves warmer than its Neighbours it must admit some Principle of such Heat besides the general Cause as they call the Solar Heat And therefore if a Man should enquire whence the Heat issues for example March 29 30. Anno 1671 and Sept. 9 10. Anno 1677. and also the intermediate Months between those two extreams of the Aestival half year he may see the Aspect stand Candidate to be admitted to answer remembring before we part that if the aestival Day be termed only warm in the Diary that warmth though it sounds temperately by a common though not inelegant Meiosis may signifie intense Heat in a tolerable degree as Soultry in the less tolerable Howbeit we have a share even of Soultry days to be found in the Table § 25. Consequently to this let inquisition be made among the Novilunar Days in the Hyemal moiety of the year and we shall find warm days in every Winter Month within the Verge of our Aspect 'T is our great Interest to secure this prime influence of our Luminary therefore we are willing to point at first October 9 10.

But what should I mention the rarer instance of Lightning and Thunders I might run to a greater Sum of Nightly Fiery Meteors for however I acknowledge they may shoot briskly in their own Region seen in hard Frosty Nights as in November's New â½ Anno 1676. Yet I hope those which happen in a more open Season may be Tokens of a warmth extending it self however elsewhere hindred to our lower Mortal Region Thus shall you find Trajections noted July 24. Anno 1674. with no more warmth noted on that day though but two days before there is noted Soultry Air

being considered § 5. Add that the Sextile also the poor Lagging Sextile in imitation of the great ones gives warning at the Hour and bears Testimony to its self within its proper Duration § 6. Further we say which we have not yet mentioned these ââurly Testimonies are more to be remarked because of the exactness of the Calculation presumed in the â½ which in some other Planets will not be pretended Greater is the evidence created to our pretenses by correspondence between Cause and Effect so near so punctual so precise § 7. Hence the Luminary is not only demonstrated to make One but also to the Curious their very Place and Order is made known while she appears to be candidate for one yea for the Ultimate Cause such as gives the final Complement to the growing Effect The last Stroke fells the Tree § 8. Verily this Aspect upon a Minute consideration hath suffered by prejudice and presumption For the VI. part of a Circle sounding not so big as the Trine or Square hath beeen so scornfully look'd upon even by my self as well as others but of a foolish presumption that so little an Arch of a Circle could not lodge so remarkable an Efficacy As if the Antients bad brought it in only for Complement sake least they should have bin thought to have failed rather in the accuracy of their Method than in any Substantial § 9. Now whether our Table be produced or not the Sextile is no Chip in Broth no empty Name of a Configuration but a very considerable Engine little though it be to produce Physical Effects Now we do not dare not say 't is equal to the Trine but this we say it may keep company with the Best of the Aspects though it may be it hath not half so fair an Estate Therefore let us see and compare First if in the former â³ you had 25 Soultry Days the most probable Method of proving an Aspect even under our Sextile I find 20. As often Rain as often stormy Winds as under the first Square Strange that two Signs should be as potent as 3. nay 4. so rare a Contemplation is that of Nature that it will strike us with wonder to set an edge upon our Enquiry And well may we muse and contemplate the â¹ for its fertility of Moisture we find it a little short indeed of the â³ for the moderate Moisture but for the immoderate Effusions or violent dashes our Sextile out-does what not When the First â³ brings but 48 dashes c. The first Sextile brings 60. For Snow in like manner For Hail more so that it will be time to look to the Foundation of this Aspect and never leave till we have discover'd it § 10. But we must premise the Compendium of our Table that we may see further what both Sextiles can do as before we have exhibited the Trines § 10. I. â¹ II. Frosty Days 28.  19. Warm Days 46.  29.

Hail 8.  5. § 11. This is our Sextile concerning whose power 't is enough to say it equals or out-does the former Aspects hitherto treated of in Heat in Rain in Thunder in Trajections in Fog Wind Snow Hail Muster all the Aspects together that you may see them at Exercise and by that you will easily estimate their Significancy where if you be surprized with any appearance contrary to expectation you will not be the First that have bin amused Ask the New â½ how many Hot days she brings She underwrites 28. the Full. 11. the first â¡ 13. the second 24. the former â³ 25. the later 16. The Sextile Former 20. the Later Sextile 36. the Former Sextile out does the Full â½ the first â¡ the Later â³ the Second out-does them all 12. This makes toward the Character then a Sextile at least one inclined to Warmth as much as the New â½ Why the New â½ seems evident but there is as certain reason for this as that if not so evident Accordingly under this former Sextile we meet with if I remember as Hot Weather for April as ever was known An. 71. die 23 24 25. which is not a pure Chance even our Sextile helps as the Wren said when she piss'd in the Ocean For Thunder or the Muter Lightnings it equals the New I had almost said the Full â½ Trajections I know not by what hap are found to be equal to the New or 2d Quadrate These yield 18 and 19. and our Aspect makes it 20. For High Winds c. no man thinks that 't is our turn now to cry up the Sextiles above the â³ which we have adventur'd to say is the most remarkable tempestuous But that we may not be mis-conceiv'd we understand this not by the frequency of Tempests for so the Full â½ is the most Tempestuous by far before Quadrates or Trines either but in regard of the Fury and Rage A forer Tempest is often found under a Lunar â³ than under any other Aspect Lunar This is all we say till the contrary is proved Now our Sextiles in this point for frequency seem to be equal to the New â½ Quadrate and Trine in either kind and for Fury it brings one or two Instances § 13. For better memory the Reader may please to view the matter again and see what they underwrite for themselves â â â¡ I. â¡ II. â³ I. â³ II. â¹ I. â¹ II. 37. 68. 34. 43. 44. 31. 35. 35. Where you see the Full one Square one Trine goes beyond us All the rest even the New â½ not much out-vying our Sextiles which by some good hap are equal one with the other to an unit § 14. For Moisture in general more or less our Sextiles exceed all but the Two Trines for 149. and 144. exceeds 109. and 193. the Sums of Moisture under the New and the Full and the two Trines here are Paramount and one of the Quadrates as may be seen by this presentment â â â¡ I. â¡ II. â³ I. â³ II. â¹ I. â¹ II. 109. 103. 143. 132. 155. 162. 149. 144. You see your Sextiles are inclined to moisture yea you see what surprizes me that the full â½ brings less moisture than any of his fellow Aspects § 15. Notwithstanding this observe again that the Former Sextile however the later comes to flag and lose its credit as to durable or more violent Rains and it comes not off so disgracefully neither when I see the New â½ but
is at hand to help on the Lunar Effect But at the Mercurial â with the â the â½ may be two three four Signs distant § 36. It may be observed again that the Antients make â¿ 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 â¿ 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 â â â¿ 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 â â â¿ is the only Aspect which raises Wind But whether â¿ be not rightly Character'd by the Antient Astrologers for such a Faculty If so then wherever he is configurate with â or â or â he may do the like He may yea and he doth as will be seen in its Place Nor do we assert â¿ the only Planet who is so qualifyed the Aspects of the â½ we have seen have their Winds along with them So what with One Aspect
is None Nature not wholly excluded from Prodigy 31. Conjecture why Ptolemy ascribes no Fiery Meteors to â c. 32. Tycho and Kepler favour our Pretence as to the Original of Comets An attempt to give an account of the Duration of a Comet 33. Some instances in Flouds 34. And of Monstrous Hail 35. A Hurracane 36. The Abstract drawn from the premises § 1. THe â â â¿ was a great our present â is a glorious Aspect for â is a fair Star by all confession White and pure as the Flame of Virgin-Wax Wherefore Nature hath given the more glorious Star â a greater Orb in comparison of the other â¿ I mean that her glories might be often more observable She therefore becomes our Phosphorus at times of the year and bids our Early Shepherd Good Morrow not only his Star but his Valentine At Even like a kind Companion she stays by him all the Civil time of the Night and then winks her adieu § 2. It may be judged also a Noble Aspect from the term of its duration where the Sun and She within reach many times go hand in hand a Fortnight together So that the experienc'd Astrologer hath that one grand Influence to manage all the while I speak of the Partil Aspect or what ought to be called so since the Platique Aspect reaches beyond far beyond as we shall see immediately § 3. The â of â and â are Direct or Retrograde Hitherto we have spoken of the Direct only In the Retrograde as in â¿ There are Four Days will limit his Influence In the Platique further In this Diversity of Motion I cannot but take notice of the pretty Vicissitudes of Direct and Retrograde every 10 Months so that every Second year there happens two â s the one in the Direct the other in the Retrograde and every Fourth year so admirably contrived that the same degree of the Zodiack possessed in the First Revolution you shall find it very near inhabited again in the Second the One Direct the Other Retrograde vice versa And such pretty Methods I remember I might have observed in the Conjunctions of â and â¿ yea in the Quadrates of the â and â½ but what have we to do now but to open its Evidence Conjunction of Sol and Venus â â â Direct § 3.

Striped Cloud which is remarkable as sometime to reach from one end of the Heaven to the other somewhat difficult to explain as yet having advanced not much in our Theory but feisible it is being certain to the Glory of Providence be it spoken that there is no appearance in Heaven without its Cause § 20. The next is clouds riding contrary contrary I say to the Wind or contrary to one another Who sends them trow you of such different Errands It is not the same Wind drives the Clouds howbeit the Seaman has advanced so far to make his way to contrary points by the same gale I used to compare it to the turn of the Young Flood at the side of the River when the main Stream runs to Ebb. This contrariety happens in several Apartments of the Air Secundum sub supra and 't is caused by a new Aspect superinduced to the Prior Senior standing Aspect Upon the same account as 't is usual for the Wind to veer about against a Storm and when the storm is done to return to its old Corner And upon this account it may be what some say that Clouds coming against Wind are a sign of a Storm or Thunder and the like The Cause is different as in the Waters 't is Young Floud by the redundant Ocean The River ebbs by the Proneness of its Streams this is more seen in our Aspect perhaps than another because of its duration the longer the day Term is the more frequent are its Vicissitudes § 21. As to Blushing Clouds observable Even and Morn All such Tinctare is known to proceed from a â of some fair Planet â¿ â â¿ c. with the Sun The Sun illustrates the Vapor the Reflex tinges it deeper so in Sounds we may distinguish a Musket in the open Field makes but an half report compared with that rousing Bounce it gives in a Publick Street where every Wall reflects and doubles the noise Say much the same of Icides Halo's c. § 22. But â s inclination to Mist should not have been passed by It seems to be more than a Curiosity when we shall number Fifty Fogs and some Roping Fila besides thinner mistiness Mist and Fogwe willingly refer to â Venus and â are somewhat alike in hue if that will argue any thing but if their properties be different as we shall see in â so there may be difference in the Fog for all as I know 'T is a Curiosity for the Hygrometer to explore A blew smoaky Mist is clearly of a deeper Complexion than of a pale whence those few that occur here are imputable to some mixture â beside other contribute also which when they are peached will answer And so much for our Partile Aspect but alass We have notdone § 23. We have said that the Latitude or Amplitude of the Aspects are not commentitious and nothing is more reasonable For if two Agents united in a Central Union can get a Name why should they not be thought to be operative at a convenient distance whether anteceding that Union or Consequent Great is the Sphear of the Planetary Activity downwards towards the Sublunary World Have they no Activity East or Westward They must have for we speak of a Sphear not of a Line of Activity Light and Heat throws it self round to all parts of the Circumference whereof the Luminous Body is the Centre The greatest Patrons of a Partile Aspect will not make themselves so ridiculous as to disown our Effect if notable and awaking though it happens 40. Hours before and after But this cannot be but by an antedated Union Their Spheres of Activity are co-incident before the perfect Union Suppose then Sol and Venus for example shed their Influence at gr 12 10 8. distance 'T is but making the Sphere of each to reach half way to gr 6 5 or 4. Now I will appeal to Experience which every Man may try who is Master of any Diary whether â and â do not operate at 6 8 10 12 gr distance I go not further as often as Not As often I had almost said as at gr 2. gr 1. or the Central â I am sure as Powerfully For not all stupendious Effects hap at a Central â There are distributions in Nature more remote which will equal those nearer Configurations Wherefore to gr 12. distance do we bring a Parcel of Keplers Observation and the distances noted that the Reader may see what we offer 'T is true he will find there perhaps Three Months swallowed up in the width of this overstretch't Observation But why must Astrology be confined to a Megre Aspect of One or Two in lieu of Thirty Days While all the rest of the following Month lies Fallow Is it worth the while Who will study such Astrology 'T is like searching in Tin-Mines for Silver some may be found there but not so much as answers the Pains No No the Vein of true Science is richer and can pronounce for most days as well as for One or Two when All is rightly observed I confess 't is a great All and part of that is Observation of the Distances of â â and â¿ The Benefit of this will be confessed when we shall offer from the Premises some Light toward not only the Production of an Effect but also the Duration As of a wet Time a stormy Season suppose a Comet or Earthquake which sometimes last a Month a Fortnight sometimes two shall I give an example Mr. Cavendish tells us that there fell many furious Storms from March 6. to April 8. Now in the year 1591. â â lasted the whole Month and at April â lay but at gr 10. distance Hackluit Vol. 3. what out-strips the said terms must be accounted for otherwise Let not therefore in our following Table the degrees only but the days also be noted For what if some little Hyatus appears In 1621 when the Numbers run on this close Order May 23 24 25 27 29.

Conjunction of â and â¿ what do they Effect They pretend severally to do something in â with â but can they produce any thing in â 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 â â¿ â½ 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 â â¿ sign generationem pluviae in illa septimana Again si quando fuerit â â¿ in Scorpione Capricorno aut Aquario cum â½ sign pluviam For Planetae ferentes pluviam sunt Venus Mercurius Luna in the beginning of the Chapter When the â is in â 20. That 's a critical time with the Indian Then if the â½ apply to â and â¿ sign multas pluvias in eo anno Yea for every New â½ 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 â or â submersio ruina imbrium assiduitas timenda Sect. 3. Our Moderns follow these Men Adrian Vlacq in Ephemerid Anno 1633. Quod si â â¿ congressus acciderit hora Conjunctionis c. Luminarium pluviarum inundationem pariet And they seem to speak consequently because we have met with some excess in â conjoyned with â 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 â¿ is a second Sol if he can bring forth the same showres c. in amity with â as â hath proved himself to have done in Conjunction with the same Venus § 2. We will not thus argue though the Argument is Legitimate that â¿ â¿ and â½ met together in â have undenyable Influence as I see the Arabs or Indians also have taught ergo the same â and â¿ 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
some other Cause which we shall evidence in â suppose or by indisposition of the Clime Thus All that Tract of Land or Sea under the Torrid Zone where 't is known Rain cometh but at one or two Months of the year I reckon is generally Indisposed whose reasons are not here to be displayed And thus â comes to be so fam'd abroad for Drought c. as Syrius of old which in our remoter Clime is not so terrible § 17. For â his Heat in Summer Seasons and elsewhere we have beside his Tokens of blue Smoky Mist Lightning Trajections c. an express of above an 100 days and what more might have bin justly noted Yet I must not nor doth our own Diary seem to give leave that I should crow after the Antients and say that â is hotter than â least I should pull the World about my Ears but I say 't is in vulgar way of speaking a more violent Star than the Sun it it self This will be proved not only in this but also in the ensuing Chapters § 18. This raises expectation which we will endeavour to satisfie when we have answered one Objection First that 't is absurd to make a Reflexion a Minor Planet more Potent than the Major 2ly That 't is uncertain whether our Planet hath any such heat or no for if so we should not sure find Hard Sharp Frosty Cold Seasons whensoever our violent Planet is conjoyned to the Sun § 19. To the First 'T is absurd if we consider the Reflexion by its self singly and disjunct from the Direct But if we suppose the Direct Radiation as in Nature it doth then Two is more than one the Direct and the Reflex is greater than the Direct alone So in vulgar speaking as we say sometimes the Son is Finer than the Father whereas all the Finery he wears comes out of the Fathers Purse â is a more violent Star because his Aspects with the â â¿ are more violent than those of the â with the same How comes that to pass unless â may be violent Thus a Conjunction of â and â latently includes â A â â â doth not include â wherefore if Three be more than two a â â â is greater than a â â â This in strict Philosophy may not be said seeing the Minor hath its Energy from the Major but for Doctrines sake we suppose â to be as it were sui juris independent of the Sun § 20. To the 2d we say Let 's see them let 's see the Frosts they are not more than what are found under â â â¿ or â â â and yet they were Spit-Fires Thunderers and Flashers had their Heats and Droughts and Violences too § 21. We see One or Two in our own Diary let 's see the Rest First To run back no further than King Henry the Eighths time Anno 1536. We are told that Ice on the Thames hindred the Kings passage at Greenwich Dec. 24 while â is within gr 2. or 3. of his Syzygie Anno 1598. Dec. 1. ad diem 11. Thames nigh froze at London Bridge the Frost began for all as I see with a â â â in â Dec. 1. Anno 1630. From Dec. 21. Three Weeks Frost presently after the Partile â of â and â Kyr Anno 1662. The Thames caked with Ice in 4 Nights die 31. and was scarce passable and this within two days of the Partile â as is seen in the Tables Anno 1665. The end of February and part of March Frosty Weather commensurate to the â â â in â 24. This Frost is memorable from the Dire Pestilence ensuing so that we need not marvail at some stricture of Frost occurring in our Sept. Anno 1658. In Novemb. 1660. In May 1667. In Oct. 1675. in our Tables for the Case is plain â burns sometimes with a Cold Iron § 22. 'T is so but doth this take from the Martial Influence any more than you see it doth prejudice the Solar to admit Frosts sharp and tedious Astrologers do usually speak of Debilities All Planets in Winter Signs are but in a low condition as to Northern site so remote from the Winter Tropick the Setting Sun is weak and cool as a Glow-Worm and Planets in the Winter Tropic are setting even at Noon as it were by their near approach to the Horizon Apply this to â and the rest as in the Winter at Muscovy Anno 1681 when the Polish Souldiers suffered by the Cold Calvis All the Planets were in deep Winter Quarters Howbeit even thus in his Weak Estate our Planet bears some Testimony to himself by Snows amongst the Frost or by Remission of the Cold which may be worth an Observers notice when the Pladding Countryman overlooks such Vicissitudes of Nature if short and temporary For so I hope none can object to us the cruel Winter noted by Gemma Anno 1568. Secuta est saith he Hyems asperrima but he speaks of no great Frost until the middle of March which concerns not a â celebrated ten Weeks before And what was the Asperity Winds and Rains Churches strook with Lightning and Floods Jan. 3. before our â was expired No nor that of September 1590. which was saith Stow a very cold Month with Snow and Sleet but the same Month brought Wind Rain Lightning and Thunder to speak for the â § 23. Add that these cold Examples are very rare and that the â â â commonly brings milder Winter Air so as whensoever Frost appears you may observe that â is at a distance from the Sun about a Sign or two or three c. wherein if Communication be interrupted which keeps it out the Cold breaks in not but that the distant Aspects have their Force the Sextile Quadrate c. but they are not so Potent nay nor so durable as â or â § 24. In this case then the Opposition more than the Conjunction proclaims the Planetary Heat in as much as an opposal of â and the â very seldom fails of its warm thawing Breath Put the â in the Winter Tropique and let â face him in the Summer though the Planet so posited shall be hid under the Earth you shall see what Fire he will save you on a Winters day whereas if â be about the Quincunx of Sol a Sign distant from the Oppositional Line he is in a chill posture and so found in those Frosty days or Seasons which happen at that determinate time some abatement being reckoned for the Northern side of our Clime § 25. The Planet may be violent in his hour for all this and is it not upon that account that the Divine Goodness hath retarded his Motion that â his Configurations with the Sun and other Planets the â½ excepted being less frequent the World should be less distracted Suppose therefore we should allow which indeed we cannot that Great Britain our dear Country c. felt not the Smart of this Aspect if other Countries do the Divine Superintendency hath its end

Wherein you see that this Martio Solar â is sutable to the â only as the Nature of the â requires You see at the Foot of the Table it admits more frequent Cold the Nature I say of an â in general admits of Cold rather than â upon the same account as the Breath of my Mouth at a distance feels cold and rough upon the Hand which is warm and gentler when the hand is set nearer to the Lips In like manner as in an â â â½ colder and rougher Blasts are oftner seen than at the Change § 4. The reason is because â or â½ or any other Planet in â with â acts chiefly Virtute reliquorum for whereever the the Sun is conspicuous IV. or V. of the VIII Good Planets and True are up at their Day-Labours whereas in the â one of the Planets besure concerned is absent and so is in some
incapacity of conspiring as effectually with the rest who then make their appearance § 5. Add that the days concerned in the â are fewer in Number than the days of the â where the Planet Aspected with the Sun being Retrograde as â here is sooner disengaged from any respect to the Sun the one falling back where the other keeps his place § 6. A man would have thought that this â would have outdone the â because of the Perigee of the Planet in the â nearer considerably to the Earth then in the â Tycho making him lower than the Sun at such time and shewing a greater Parallax No doubt this difference of Situation approaching to the Earth and to the Sun whom it faceth makes the attaque hotter and the grapple of the Beams more close and compact but yet as we observed in the â½ 's Opposition the solitariness of the Planet helps to cool the Courage in proportion to the Fortitude it is endued with by the Approximation And therefore our Sums of Rain and Wind sink under the â though they did not flinch under the â that being more able to be responsible for so many days than â for half so many § 7. This is clear and open we confess what we find we do not strive to wrack up Testimonies to make good any anticipated Fancies as I thought my self when at the First observation in Anno 1652. I was greeted with Rain and Thunder as Anno 1655. I should find a bloudy Aspect of â But â proves not so Termagant the Vicissitudes of Nature and the Northern Climes take off much from his edge § 8. To proceed then the Sum of our days for Fourteen Oppositions All which are found in 30 years amounts to 118. The Sum of our Rains 51. What do we stand Pedling Rain or Wind or Heat 91. As to the Cold and Frosts we have spoken enough already For Thunders we have scarce 5 or 6. But bating the Winter Months of 1661. 1664. 1674. 1676. 1679. 1681. Seven of the Fifteen you shall observe that those Months which Thunder not were not asleep You shall find Rain and Winds An. 1657. 1666. 1672. 1683. Heat and Soultry Air Anno 1670. For â take him where you will is a vehement Planet to which if you will confront us with a vehement Frost Anno 1676 and smile at our Zeal we have prevented That Frump by observing that â sits uneasie in such Icy Chains and takes opportunity to strike Fire out of the Cold Steel even in Winter it self and that in our Neighbour Countries the like we presume in different parts of Lapland but that I cannot maintain so large an Intelligence of which we have given you I am sure one Instance from Gemma and shall suddenly from Calvisius produce another Howbeit Less Symptoms will argue a Distemper of a Planet than such downright Fury § 9. And whereas I once thought it good to take notice of Fog among other Concomitants of the Aspect I believe now I had reason so to do since I find the Antients to take notice of Humiditas Horizontis among the Effects of the Mamareth of â and â This I interpret to be Hazy Air as the Seamen call it when 't is misty in the Horizon and clear in the Zenith See the Table in Escuid fol. mihi 33. in the Signs of â â â This hath been observed under the â but here is Authority to our Experience Now if the Arabs allow a Fog on hazie Air in their more Southern Hemispheres how much more must it prevail with us in Northern distance where our case is sometimes that of Nov. 21. 1659. when such an Aegyptian darkness hover'd over us both by Sea and Land that our Day-Labourer was benighted and our Vagabond Waterman lost in his Boat § 10. Here we must not forget our punctual Evidence from the Critical times of Noon Sun-rise Sun-set as before in the precedent Lunar Aspects by which a Philosopher may know the Hour of the day many times by the Showr for if it rains about Noon I hear â strike as well as the Clock unless with vulgar People in matter of Eclipses you will believe no Phaenomenon Celestial but what you see when as then at Even or Sun rise I find it rain c. A Philosopher doth as verily see â glaring on the Sun as he in the Story Saw by force of Refraction the Eclipsed â½ facing the Sun at the same Instant Now with recourse to the Table take notice to this purpose of what happened vesperi May 7.

For what though it be prodigious as acknowledged by Fromond and others Prodigious Events have natural Causes is as much confessed And I am jealous there is much in the Sign which whether it prove or not must be considered in due place seeing there are no instances abroad of thu same Nature § 15. To draw to a Conclusion I have taken notice of a pretty accident Anno 1674. concerning the quick motion of the â¿ in the Barometer which at such an hour of the day fell while I looked on hor 5. an Inch of the Sudden Fell I say in the Tube but rose in the Curveture the Air being of a sudden levitated to such a measure Let the Learned bear with me in my Folly we have adventured on the Currents Marine I have found a Current in the Air proportionable to that in the Water For the Currents in the Sea as all Tides are made by Levitation of the Humid Body made by way of Tumour which is always Lighter and more puffy than when the Humour subsides unfermented From whence having received the Notion of the Air gravitating I am by this petty appearance confirmed in the opinion Learning withall that it is the Celestial Bodies which according to their various positions do ferment or flatten the Air gaining also into the bargain that the Air is of the same Lineage cognate to Water and though in the day of its Creation it was rarified so far as 1000 times they say as that no natural cause shall reduce it again yet still it hath a common Nature and Affection with it § 16. I would take notice of the Obscurity of the Heavens sometimes appearing more than others and that

As to Rain pray let it be adverted that the days comprised in the Aspect are more than once all of a Suit and that is a winning circumstance with fair Gamesters see Anno 53. 55. 58. 61. 63. 68. c. So one would have thought we had bespoke the two first years wherein in 15 days it rained not 16. I confess but 15. it did And though some other Months may prove dry to ballance the contrary yet with great inequality it still holds Hence in our own Diary we find days 76. in 122. Nor can you find half 15. days dry together This Aspect even in April Anno 72. the Cold and Dry Month brought rain twice and that on the precise day § 5. But he who shall view the Table the Winds the furious Tempest and the sad soking Rains and that before day do plainly shew the Power of â in Square with the Sun for in this Aspect â rises early as we noted before and is sometimes got past the Meridian before the Sun touches the Horizon This makes Rain ante lucem Wind I say or Rain not only at â rise but before a great part of the Night Jan. 24 53.

On such Consideration as this we justly observed our Lunar Puissance treating of her Square with the Sun and here with â the Evidence is more lusty and busling and calls us to take notice of the Edomite who is known by violence furious and sad Rains which make a fair show in the Table the which we do find in the Second Square also Rain there Notable after the Sun set as here ante lucem § 7.

Here except a cold April what anti-Martial face of Weather is there Here is heat in July 74. August 59. May 57. nay November 63. and January 53. 85. In these 't is expressed in the rest implyed § 4. As to Rain pray let it be adverted that the days comprised in the Aspect are more than once all of a Suit and that is a winning circumstance with fair Gamesters see Anno 53. 55. 58. 61. 63. 68. c. So one would have thought we had bespoke the two first years wherein in 15 days it rained not 16. I confess but 15. it did And though some other Months may prove dry to ballance the contrary yet with great inequality it still holds Hence in our own Diary we find days 76. in 122. Nor can you find half 15. days dry together This Aspect even in April Anno 72. the Cold and Dry Month brought rain twice and that on the precise day § 5. But he who shall view the Table the Winds the furious Tempest and the sad soking Rains and that before day do plainly shew the Power of â in Square with the Sun for in this Aspect â rises early as we noted before and is sometimes got past the Meridian before the Sun touches the Horizon This makes Rain ante luccm Wind I say or Rain not only at â rise but before a great part of the Night Jan. 24 53.

Novemb. 19 20. 80. there is scarce a year scapes The Circumstance of the time first is notable and then the frequency of the result § 6. On such Consideration as this we justly observed our Lunar Puissance treating of her Square with the Sun and here with â the Evidence is more lusty and busling and calls us to take notice of the Edomite who is known by violence furious and sad Rains which make a fair show in the Table the which we do find in the Second Square also Rain there Notable after the Sun set as here ante lucem § 7. Now follows one most notable Phenomenon but our Table has not leave to enter Anno 55. March 9. the place was the good Town of Yarnton where I first professed to observe Part of the Heaven toward the Southwas overcast and towards the North was clear when Lo In the Forenoon the Cloudy part seemed to increase by a successive gradual condensation as fast as a Seeds-man strews his Seed and in the same progressive Order to my great admiration then but more since because I never saw the like nor any other that I know of and therefore it may be in vain to referr it to any probable or almost possible cause although the Square of â and â so near the Cardinal points may be found to act wonderfully § 8. In the Table we meet with some fog we know it gets fotting many times in a Martial Aspect § 9. In all the Sum of days 122 there is not above 30 days but are windy and rainy or of express heat § 10. And whereas by this very Diary it appears that it may be a warm Constitution in one place as Kepler also hath noted when it is moist in another as in August 1654. it happened at Yarnton when it was hot and Dry most part at London it evidences that the Planets are warm in themselves and that Warmth produces Moisture yet not at all times or places alike saving notwithstanding the Credit of our Principle which doth not securely pronounce always but upon Experience given and knoweth to distinguish between Particular and General Constitutions the one confined

account of a Month or six Weeks according as an Aspect may happen or as it may march its way by leasure So Captain Smith tells us from Feb. to March 18. the West-Indies were stormy Anno 1620. the Aspect happening Feb. 23. So Stow tells us Anno 1594. It rained continually June and July the Aspect following on July 12. And the same hand again tells us of the Month of September Anno 1590. out of order for two contrary qualifications Thunder and Snow the Aspect not shewing it self till the beginning of the next Month. Yea the same year Mr. Purchas tells us of no Fair VVeather till March the Aspect will answer for its share for happening on Jan. 14. the midst of the Month it may very well answer for all that Month as many a year before viz. 1524. happening on Febr. 15. it may answer for that also § 24. But it is all one whether the Month be Stated or Arbitrary if it gives an account for 30 Days immediately consequent 'T is the same thing § 25. Nay it may so happen by accident at the Station or Reg ress of Planets the Aspect may be answerable for 60 or 70 Days at what time we shall discern a Partile Aspect repeated like a Verse in Musique whereby the Song extends its Entertainment to the Ear. So Anno 1654. the Aspect may be questioned as accessary to all the Weather that appears on the Stage for all Feb. and March and An. 1665. from July 5. to Sept. 18. In which Instances and in so many more they do not only stand answerable as I said but also have wherewithall to make good what they are charged with out of their own proper Stock and help of Good Friends This may be seen by our two Tables when united if we supply Asterisques of the Larger with the Notes of the smaller Table For we were unwilling in different places to repeat the same Diary And no wonder can this be to those who shall observe that even in our Less Table â â â shall last a Fortnight and all that while be found within 2 degrees distance Nay in June 1678. almost 3 Weeks Now least any man should think two Degrees too much to be allotted to this Aspect as Kepler himself doth in his Notes on March An. 1629. Nam Conjunctio ipsa â â cum ultra gradum dissideant saith he parum potest nisi c. Yet within 7 days after when he came to give account of Thunder day 9. which is Feb. 27. Old Style he is forced to impute it to two Aspects whereof the one is expired and the other not yet inchoate Yea Mark I pray to the Neighbourhood Viciniae of â and â when â by his own Calculation then differs much about 2 Degrees § 26. Nor is there any inconvenience that a long-lived Aspect should prejudice the many shorter which intervene for we have everted that Objection by admitting what help and Assistance offers its self Neither doth one extinguish the other no more than the Sun extinguishes the Light of a Nocturnal Meteor It is so far from that if we speak of Extinguishing that it helps to kindle it One Aspect like one Souldiers presence animates the other § 27. Before we leave this we must observe that although we have met with Violences before yet we have not so many Tuffons before How terrible soever they be they are and have been frequent abroad Familiar even in the Holy Story and St. Paul's Voyage Thrice we have the Word which the East Countrys have preserved to us ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã ãâã surely what the Mariner calls a Devil there is a Divinity in them To hurry a great Ship downright in a Dismal Gyre down into the deep a Ship perhaps whose Neighbour not far off is in a Calm Who will not see a Planet Yea more than a Planet surely God speak not to Job but he speaks to us all in a Whirlwind and teacheth us to admire him in his his Armies Celestial whilst we trembling adore the Maker seeing Winds and Storms fulfill but his Word § 28. As to our Glutts of Rain and their Consequences the Flouds they speak violence enough for a Martial Aspect and so doth Hail as seldom as it appears it denotes an unquiet Constitution a violence in its very make Snow is a pacifique Emblem it makes no Noise Hail Rattles and Destroyes Snow can but bury us but Hail may kill If a great Drop argues a violent Cause Hail doth the same This Cause Efficient is â amongst the rest and if â have any reserve for Cold rather than â â and â united are as proper as any other § 29. Let us now proceed then to our Lightning and Thunder of which occur 21. And for this part of our Larger Table you see it Lighten in your Faces from several Quarters Anno 1520. June 15. Great Rain and Thunder Purch 1027. gr 15. â 6. Sept. 23. Basil Thunder c. and so on as in the Table before § 30. Thunder-Months are commonly from April to October and if you please to see the Months have their Load view once again and you shall see November Dec. Febr. March All but January discharging one piece for the Hour of â and â Nay if it Thunder once in Febr. upon our pretended Aspect you have heard prejudice it self in the Learned Kepler confess the Presence of our Planets But 't is not the only time there hath bin Thunder heard in February Anno 1652. Febr. 21. I remember two Claps â â at gr 5. distance That I may not go so far as Cape Vincent where Feb. 17. 1558. it Lightned and Thundred all Night â and â at gr 14. Distance § 31. We have distinguished in the Entrance of this Work of Blite or Blasting One proceeding from Cold the Other from Heat Want of Rural Opportunities make us not so ready for the difference But the Later kind from Heat may be referred to Lightning for the Word seems to come from the German Blits which signifies Lightning And our Instance I find communicated from the Country But 't is but once and therefore may belong to some other Aspect § 32. One particular I must speak to observable in the Degrees of distance and that seems a strange one that in this Head of Lightning the Number VII seems remarkable when at such Distance it seems to Lighten more than at others We take notice of all things that may minister Wonder or upbraid our Ignorance § 33. For Comets the more I enquire I find no Planets forge more than â and â¿ â therefore and â¿ must in proportion do the like yet â and â stand not off but sometimes produce otherwhile prolong the Productions of others We will present the Instances of both § 34. Anno 1511. Comet in Aegypt and Arabia voic'd for Terrible in â from May 3. ad July 3. Hevelius â â â 6. Anno 1590. Comet from Febr. 13. ad Mart. 6 Linschoten Purch 1675. â â

Comet noted by Hevelius Dec. 4. but seen in the East-Indies 9 days before as a Worthy Sea-Captain then at Sea hath noted in his Diary â â â gr 1. even upon the Partile â § 34. As to which Comets I say that they accord to our Doctrine premised the First that of Anno 1511. â â â preceding by its Warmth hatch'd it in April and it was in good time disclosed by our Aspect of â â about May 5. which also helped the Days before to its Production For the 2d of 1590. from Febr. 13. c. I say here that this Comet was conceived by â â â preceding all the way and brought to Light by â â â¿ c. Howbeit our Aspect stood longer by it than â â â¿ To the 3d. I say nothing can be plainer for the Comet appeared in a Square to â â and in the same parallel viz. upon the Tropique Circle the one in â 8 the other in â 8 on the Day of its Birth At least let this be remembred § 35. This for the Production Now for the Continuation of the Comet Anno 1532. a Sept. 23. ad Nov 10. Comet â â â â 24. October 14. so if began by â â you see it is maintained all October long by â â Anno 1556. Comet a Nov. 12. ad Jan. 10. Gemma Now â â â happens â o. Nov. 30. so it is plain our â reaches the very First day of the Comets appearing with â â â¿ and as plain it is that it convoys it all along September to its Expiration Anno 1556. A Comet March 4. of which Hevelius at large half as big as the â½ in â gr 8. â â â preceded about Febr. 19. and this Comet is owned to lye in a direct â to â and if to â than to â also to whom in â it own its Original To us Well-Willers nothing can be plainer than that Comets are Flammeous or Lucid Expirations which are produced by the Planets Now as to the continuation of this Comet to April 23. where it expired in a Partile â â â We own that â â¿ disclosed it â â¿ and â â maintained it to the very last but yet we cannot but observe that on the very day of its vanishing â and â were sever'd a whole Signs distance whereupon our Meteor expired I say whereupon though on that very day â â â â¿ were all together by a second â of â â¿ which confirms 't is the Platique Aspect maintains the Celestial Production Such being the Relation of â to â throughout the Month of April to the day of Expiration And Secondly it shews that the Influence of â often takes place if within the confines of 30 degrees as will be found by Experience though hitherto I have been so timerous and modest to point at but 15. or 16. degrees at farthest Furthermore Anno 1661. Jan. 23. Styl Vet. we will not pretend that â and â gave being to this Comet Nay we will allow it to â â being then within 10 degrees But we examine what kept this Phaenomenon alive throughout the Month of February Is not our Aspect here within 10 degrees at the begining of the Month. the Partile â happening die 24 § 36. But now I speak of modesty I fear I shall transgress if I impudently demand not the Tayled Comets only but the New Stars also to be results of our Conjunction The New Star in the Breast of Cygnus supposing that it began in November yea or December 1660. I do now with some security impute to the â of â â which then happened about Nov. 23. This the World perhaps may be ready to believe when they shall consider with me what amazing Effects are produced by the Celestial Bodies in some peculiar parts of the Zodiac Nor does its large duration deterr me from that Fancy supposing it lasted to Anno 1629. as Argol will have it For there is difference of Impression on the Agents part and difference of retentive disposition in the Starry Heaven the Patient Nor must the Great Hevelius tell me That the Light of the â it self cannot reach to the Fixed Stars for the contrary is as certain a Truth as that the â reaches the Stars of the Microcosme the Eyes of our Mortal Bodies Now let us speak to our Earthquakes § 37. Our First Earthquake which may be pinn'd upon our Aspect is that of An. 1538. where in September Month all Italy was troubled for 15. days Fallopius apud Fromond â â about the midst of the Month begins to come into a Platique â at 12 11 10. gr distance acknowledging â â â¿ c. Anno 1552. April 20. T. M. in Germany among the Mountains Sudetes Lycosth â â â about the 17. of May â 1. our Planet about 11 gr distance as â and â¿ about the same distance Anno 1554 at Lovain April 20. Gemma Cosm 2 23. â and â about gr 12. distant â with â½ for she also we have heard Fromond confess is a Mover of the Earth having got advantage of Archimedes that great Engineer viz. a place where she should stand And before this though Earthquakes are rare and Thunders as the Natives inform us die Mart. 21. 22. hor. 4. post mer. T. M. cum mugitu quasi clangore Gemma Ibid. where â and â were upon a Partile â and â but gr 5. distant from â¿ saving still whatsoever Causes Gemma hath produced which indeed are so manifest that he who looked into the Ephemerides about the middle of March may read it and save the Labour of consulting the Author Anno 1570. at Ferrara on St. Martins day Nov. 11. Fromond â â â¿ about gr 10. distance and â â â nearer Anno 1571. Febr. 17. at Kinaston in Hertfordshira noted by Stow and Thuanus too as I remember â â¿ are set at gr 3. and â â at gr 8. Anno 1586. April 11. In Ireland Trees and Thickets moved by the River Bair Fromond from Ribera He who looks again into the Ephemeris shall read the reason yea though he doth not understand the Character what seems to our purpose there appears â â â amongst them Anno 1632. at Norimberg Nov. 10. On a misty warm day â distant from â gr 7. the entire Cause is assigned by Kyriander above dispute where our Aspect is allowed its share Anno 1637. July die 1. at Tours in France stormy Weather T. M. Kyriander reckons it to the Station of â¿ He might have vouchsafed â â â Nov. 23. happening on the Day and our â â â but Seven days before from which Term there is nothing noted in the Diary but great smart Rain Thunder and Storms of Wind the Harbingers of an Earthquake which take up its Quarters either there or elsewhere as the Train fires § 38. So have you a parcel of Earth-movings imputable to our Aspect nor can any Scruple rise from hence that our Planets Concern

But is it thus in the â and â¡ and â³ Thus and no otherwise he that will not be ashamed of his Prognostick of Fair Weather must not pronounce absolutely on Jove and Venus's Square but with the limitation prescribed I would rather urge this because when the Artist promises Fair Weather and Rain takes place the Mistake is fouler and more pitiable than when declaring for Rain it succeedeth not Because there may be a Fog yet an overcast a pregnant Cloud or a lowring Sky for a while that may make some weak Apology for the mistake But when Rain appears after a man of Skill has promised fair Weather Expectation is frustrate the Journy or Visit is defeated so All who meant to enjoy the priviledge of the smiling day turn their Anger they conceived against the spiteful Heavens upon the Sciolist Therefore let them attend the Aspect if they please whosoever are curious this way but withal carefully inspect if they please whosoever are curious this way but withal carefully inspect how the Planets concerned are accompanyed how the rest are posited If with the nearest there 's one Requisite good which we call co-arctation of place if with the farthest above 30 degrees distance suppose then there 's a 2d Requisite which we call an Hyatus or Vacant Sign Some other Punctillio's there are but these are the main where we may pronounce Dry or Fair Weather and so please himself and his Client § 21. We need not multiply Examples the Rule is most part perpetual I add that the same Method is to be observed for the Prediction of Frost whether for the Day or for the Morn at least the Reason is because few Fair or Dry Days are found in the Hyemal part of the Year which are not accompanyed with Morning Frosts Such were the days whose Dryth was now considered A o 1653. Dec. 18. for the Hyemal Table And A o 1660. Aug. 30 31. for the Aestival § 22. Note withal this same Doctrine would have been good in the Aspect of â â¿ but 't is more singularly good with this Aspect â â having greater kindness for fair Weather for some such reason as we have ventur'd at or for some Better § 23. To draw to the Character then They who follow Maginus Argol Adrian Vlacq tell you nothing of Violence They talk of gentle Rains and tell you of abundance forsooth of Fertility as if â were always a good Girl But we have seen her Spirit in the preceding Aspects with â or â at least and oft-times she is the same when she reflects on â so that not only Gentle Winds or Rains but High and smart also she procureth Yea and I should add you see Thunders and Lightnings had no body said so as yet But well fare Eichstad who hath said it before me § 24. What then is the Character of our Congress I answer with the. Road Serene and Fair and gentle breathing Wind but apt to worse to Frown and Muffle her self to put on her Masque in a Fog or a Muddy Air. She Favours also Cold and Frost but so as she is easily alterable to sign the contrary Now since from Heat comes all Violence she raises the Wind sometimes and sparkles in Lightning Difference you must think there is in the Posts Degrees and difference of Assistance and so it comes about § 25. Now if it be said that a sudden Alteration is observable in other Aspects and therefore not proper to the Jovial I answer neither so sudden nor so constant An â â â in Winter Months shall not bring Frosts so often as â and â opposed Surely not a â¡ or a â³ it may be so much as ours Our Eyes teach us some difference of â and â from others the Fairest Planets in the Heavens of the greatest visible Diameter so that if they have any kindness for Cold which Experience teacheth they may be allowed as strange as it is to be easily reconciled to Warmth Foreign Miscellany Diary for the Aspects Jovial last past and Remarques thereon 1500.

SATURN and MARS SATURN and JUPITER JUPITER and MARS described justly in Capital Letters to call the Eye of the Reader to attend their Greatness I leave Astronomers to tell you their Magnitude their Distance their Proportion to one another and to the Earth c. And when you have read them with me before we have done we may wonder as much at their Influence as their Dimension c. § 2. Astrologers call them the Two Infortunes and to prove That true They Alarm us with Wars and the Death of Princes among other sad Events which no man of Honest Morals or Politicks delights to hear of Now though I verily presume that this is no Oracle at least not of God's or Nature's For let the Arabs or somebody for them produce their Schedules whereby a Free-born Natural Intellect may be convinced of such pretences before they exact our belief yet I must needs own that All things considered no Bribery can make me absolutely acquit them from the Imputation of some unfortunate or unavoidable Influence to the Generality in some kind or other Howbeit it is not seasonable to treaâ of any Malefic Force in the beginning of a Chapter What Tragical Consequences it is guilty of we will not entreat of till the last Act not till the close as hitherto hath bin observed in the foregoing Aspects where if we chance to hear of Earthquakes Sicknesses and Mortalities we will not impose upon the World or Frown them into our belief but we will humbly and honestly produce our Schedule shew our Testimony under Hand and Seal and make Mankind the Judge who if they throw the Bill out of the House we shall be contented in case that they will do themselves the Right to shew the Forgery of our Evidence § 3. The Aspect reverts ordinarily but once in two years the â taking place every second Year and according to the Laxity of gr 10. distance which the Antients allow in Eschuid so challengeth about 30 or 40 days which is no unreasonable Width For who is there initiated in Astrological observation that will grudge to allow a notable Effect to a â â â if it fall within the Month. We will give you leave to wonder at us if we should talk of the Operation of an Aspect yea or a Comet at the 2 3 nay 20 year distance but 30 or 40 days is but a moment passed and may yea must be granted us for at gr 10 distance we often find such Efforts of Weather even here as hath been remembred in ââ c. For the State of the Air we must speak to first before we harass our Reader with louder Peals of Mortality § 4. Now because this Aspect being so Ponderous raiseth a great expectation as to the very State of the Air I find the Modern Writers somewhat timorous in rendring the Character being aware of the Scoffers Bolt soon shot at those who are so assured of their old fashion'd Thesis yet perchance cannot so well make out the Truth against the Captious Nay saith he if your â â â your grand Superiours the Fam'd Enemies to Mankind and to one another many times fails of its Feats what Trust is there to be given to such Old Doting Principles Eichstad therefore unreasonably mixes the Aspect of â with it Unreasonably I say for how long must a Proselyte stay till the Aspect of â is co-incident And will he warrant that it shall bring then Wind or Rain Frost or Snow or Nubilum Coelum He will not Maginus more warily says that they operate according to the Quality of the Signs yea and what is more in my Judgement the Fixed Stars who are found with them Not a Word of which hath bin mentioned hitherto in the Conjunctions of an Inferiour But beginning with the Signs he labours to secure his Art at least in the momentous conjunctions by such Limitations and conditions the Reason I suppose I have offered with the Tenderness he had for his Art and his Endeavor to stand by it as to these main Foundations or Pillars on which it rests § 5. Far am I you may believe from quarrelling at the Fixed Stars but I contend that the same Limitations ought to be put to all the Foregoing Aspects on the same Exigence and necessity as to the Superiors To one as much as to the other Otherwise the most frequent Aspect â â â¿ will not convince fastidious self-conceited Persons nay verily nor the Lunar neither as we have shewn before but that we have the Tradition and Experience of the Husbandman and the Seaman on our side who are the Strength of the Kingdom What saith Maginus on this very Aspect concerning Hail Si caetera concurrant Yea that 's Right That 's like a Philosopher What are those Concurrences and where for if a single Aspect be All every man laying the Planetary Table before him may profess a ridiculous sort of Prognostique which is not to be endured for the Learned fake § 6. And if it be asked How we shall know the Character blended amongst the Concurrents I answer not every Property perhaps is so easily discernible in such different Mixture but the most Signal are discerned by the Violences which often are produced either upon or near the precise Aspect Or at least before its Expiration Which Violences notably and frequently iterated upon the return of the Aspect have constituted the Character deliver'd down to us from our Ancestors § 7. As wary was Cardan of old who tells us That It inclines to Hail and Rain Si caetera juvent What they would all say is this That the Aspect Lashes out into some Excess of this Nature before it takes its leave And this as to the First viz. Rain is for certain whether within 6 days as they say or within my more unreasonable Width of a Months space which may be confessed perhaps And then the Vehemence of that Effect shall I avow be distinguishable from any Showr c. that falls afar off without the Verge except upon another equivalent Influence § 8. Here I do not intend to tie my self
to any one Individual Aspect but of the whole Sylloge Let some Number of our Aspect be considered and upon comparison so it shall be found Say the same of Tempests Harmful Winds Destructive Lightnings c. which our Table affords Nor must it be argued that we have said as much before of others and possibly may again For what hinders that at several times of the year according as they take place in their admirable Succession they may all shew their Vehemencies and yet be distinguished by him who lists to observe and compare Besure Tempests with and without Lightnings must be added as well as Hail which though it comes not half so frequently must not be left out of the Character § 9. In the mean while it may be true That as the Quantity or duration of the Effect â and â may not be so copious as some others for I find not so many Inundations indeed but few in comparison with the Aspect of â and â Mark that Who then shall say hereafter that we understand nothing of the Stars We forgive those Learned Men who have adventured to wrong us heretofore but hereafter let them avoid such Obloquies Let them shew as many Flouds under â and â and we will be confuted § 10. This makes me take notice of those Words in Maginus which are seasonable here Martis cum â applicatio Nubes Ventos multiplicat Imbribus detrahit acra corr- c Our Honest Countryman Escuid Dist 4. tract 1. Cap. 4. tells us from Dorotheus the same Words Whoever was the Author the Words are Sense and agree with the History of the Aspect exhibited in our Diary where I find many Dry Days and Fair with a Brightness of Air Curious Weather Amaeni Soles as Kepler hath it yet oft-times overcasting and lowring and looking suspitiously as sometimes again opening after a close Air. This you may please to observe when the rest of the Concurrents are not met and the Aspect is Solitary Then the Weather will savour of the Contemperation of the contrary and be Placid and Temperate § 11. And this at times of the year will lead in Frost for that Cause which tempers the Aestival Air will freez us up in Winter and for this you must look the Old Arabs will bear witness for â 's sake which they make to be as cold as Friendship it self Wherefore if it happen in Signo Terreo saith Messahala sign Neves gelu et fortitudinem frigoris apud Escuid dist 2. tract 1. Cap. 11. § 12. For the Proof of the Premises to begin with the last Instance our Frosty Days not of Mornings only we hear of them in the years 56 60 64 66 68 70. Frosty mornings every Revolution from 54. to 70. Yea and after in A o 74. But the Diary will not consent to Messahala as to his Earthly Sign only â and â since â â â â for Airy Watry and Fiery Signs make up the account as well as the Earthly How much easier is it to say in the Southern Signs it makes Frost many times c. § 13. Now the Inclination to Rain holds about the Moyety of the 30. and odd days but with some difference of Signs For Hail we hear of it but 11 times in â â â â â Five Signs and when I have reason to believe the like of the Opposite we cannot positively exclude any § 14. Now for excess of Rain more or less we have not One Aspect escaped And now smart many of them were the Diary will not conceal The high Winds we must proclaim because by their Harmful Impulses They will be remembred they will not sleep till they have mischief wrought on the place That â¿ and â should be sore upon us may be attributed to their Vicinity but that â so remote should be Harmful there I profess to wonder at the Venerable Footsteps of a Deity in the Worlds great System and the parts thereof for we found â harmful with â and therefore no wonder with â as we have before observed Do Astrology Justice â is a Superiour and perhaps there is no violent stroke from Heaven without the Edge and Dint of one of the Superiours Wherefore now let us view the Tempest 1658. Sept. 30. And those Gusts on the Thames Oct. 20 21. which were reported harmful Let us view those of Nov. 11. 1662. Octob. 29 30. A o 1664. Nov. 28 29. A o 1666. and Nov. 12. 1668. And what need more ado Here are Three Blasts of this small number which blew down Trees in the Country and the Chimnies in London Sept. 30. A o 1658. Nov. 11. A o 1662. Nov. 28. 29. A o 1666. The Aspect succeeds but 10 times in 20 years and therein 10 times it is ready to knock us on the Head Such Accidents come not often they had not need I remember noted in the Diary that after sore Rains â and â have been seen together within a Span c. as on Nov. 24. A o 1670. Nature I say and say it again is loath we should be ignorant of her admirable Occonomy and therefore it shews it us and when it doth not we shall not be credulous accounted if we believe that Lightning according to our Method and the nature of the thing also is allyed to Furious Tempests for so at Lundy Island we meet with Lightning and harm done to a Ship there when with us there was Terrible Tempest only of Wind Rain and Hail without any Fiery Meteor Nov. 13. 1664. Now of Harmful Lightning we meet further in the years 1674. 1676. 1680. in the Signs â â â or if it will Edifie more in the Months of June and August Those are the Paramount Months besure the Aestival Months but that the Sun alone produces them because of his Exaltation is a Prodigy of a Paradox and will never be believed till All the rest of the Lights be extinguished Astrology wants Records to search If she had them from the Conquest it were well But the 13th of Nov. 1664. just now mentioned shews that it is not the Sun's exaltation produceth Flashing by its self for in November he is not Exalted unless the Presence of â and â which is true enough do help to exalt him § 15. Upon this account the Fiery Meteors of the Night are pretty rife under this Aspect For in the year 1672. I observed them 4 or 5 times In 1674. Three In 1676. 5 times In 1678. 8 times In 1680. 1682. four times each They have been more rare in 1654. 1656. 1662. 1670. The Time of the year where no observation was made were Winter Months and I could not be at the Charge of the Watch. An Ingenious Sea Captain who kens the Constellations may contribute much to our Theory by engaging his Night Watch to look upward not neglecting neither the Course of the Ship § 16. As to Snow we find it as rare or more then Hail but 9 times in All.
In the year 1668 1670. 1672. In the Signs â and â They were the Signs of the Aspect But the Solar Sign was â only the Snow falling in November § 17. There are many other pretty things occur in the History of â and â 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 â 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 â and â yea â and â 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 â set § 20. As for Irides and Halo's we light upon them sometimes and they are not altogether accidental to an Aspect either of â and â 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 â and sometimes to â 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.

It will be said these distances are too unreasonable we may comprehend what not at so great a Liberty The answer may be that 't is not perpetual There are some Neighbourly distances 2. For all as I see the greatness of the Distance conduceth to the Effect provided 30 degrees be not exceeded For to paint a Sun or a Lucid Globe in the Water as the Parelium may seem to be requires many a Ray issuing from Arches of a Circumference some less some greater which Suspicion of mine will be found true if we go no further then attending to and comparing those very Instances Jan. 17. and May 15. 1621. Sept. 20. 1625. But we hast This is not a place for it Only this by the way if we were to treat of the Parelia purposely we see we should here also find the Tropiques and Equinoxes § 76. Sol Pallidus noted in Kepler's Diary whatsoever it signifies is not much different from the Halo c. the Causes and Distances of those Operants are near alike First Nov. 20.

Caelum Sanguin and before that Sol Sanguin April 24. 1623. â 4. â 28. â § 77. This it may be runs higher than we imagine for of Old in the former Century we meet with in April 1547. Universal News of Sol darkned for 3 or 4 Days die 22. c. That it was a prodigious Spectacle throughout all France and Germany some say Britain though our Chronicles are silent noted by Calvisius and Fromond from Lycost and Fritschius when Writers do believe that the â was close Mourner for the Prince Elector Fredrick being taken Whatsoever the matter was that which we regard at present is the place of â â 5. contributing to the Phaenomenon and â in â fine not much above 5. grad dist from a compleat Opposition â I say near â and the â½ also opposing â in the beginning of â I thought it once had been a Flaw in Calvisius's Chronology that he could not give an account of a Vernal Eclipse of the Sun in the 7th year of Xerxes Anno Christi Nat. 478. for I reckoned there could be no Solar Obscuration otherwise except miraculous but I see there may be some rarer Phaenomenon of this kind from Natural Causes besides a proper Eclipse such are produced by Kepler Epit. Astron § 78. For the Maculae Solis whether they be distinguished from the former Obscurations or not I have a few stragling Instances I don't mention that of March 25. April 5. because the distance is of gr 20. Nor that of May 19. 29. because the distance is of gr 17. Yet a fond Man would mark the Identity of those distances especially when there haps a third and who knows how many more § 79. But I produce May 1. 1625. and June 8. a noted space for the Month wherein our Aspects sweetly reign in â and â I produce 2dly the Month of June 1642. where some Learned Men have ventur'd to teach that the Months was Cold because of the multitude of the Maculae which rebated the Solar Heat Then which there cannot be a greater Demonstration of our Principle for we have here â â â under the Equinox which will give a shrewd Essay to tinge the Sun with their Impressions but there is a Triple Conjunction Flush of Three in â They the Three Superiours which say we can aid the Multitudinem Macularum yea and the Cold too For what Communication of direct Rayes is there between the place of the 3 Superiours and the Place of the â â or â¿ That is the True Cause of the Cold and He may set his Heart at rest who thinks to find any new Principle from the aculae or any thing that concerns the Sun in its solitary Capacity These Instances from Ricciolus I produce 3dly Sept. 1643. S. N. the most of that Month is taken up by â â â alike tripled though as before in the Conjunction I shall only point at a Spot which came into Play die 14. S. N. the place of â in â 1 of â in â 5. you see how near the Opposition This Macula afterward saith Hevelius was divided into many and on day 19. they met again in ours only in Unam iterum co aluêre and whether this day appears not to be the day of the precise Aspect The 4th of June A o 1614. a New Macula appear'd and held out 6 or 7 days within 3 days of the precise â in â 18. when the soul Weather screen'd it from the diligent Observator when that 3 days after the Weather was fair the same Macula was seen again and not without a Partner Hevelius Appendix to his Selenography § 80. For a Farewel to â and â It would not be convenient we should take leave of our Forein Diary till we have noted the extremity of some Constitutions and the singular accidents therein mentioned To find Hurricanes yea Tuffons Storms which are termed unparallel'd incredible beyond the reach of Nature The Truth is Hurricanes and Tuffons especially come with such Violence that ordinary Nature stands amazed at
them Then the great execution of Lightnings too often which proceeds from no mild Causes but great and angry Instruments of a Divine Power The Singularities which I mean are beside the Parelia and Irides the last thing we treated of The White Waters and shining Sea which I would fain attain to the Cause of if it can appear to be Celestial The Disturbance of the Creatures Marine Whales and other Monsters I do impute I do not say 't is perpetual to our Aspect the Reader must be Judge of all that is offer'd Thus then A o 1574. July 9. A Monstrous Fish I hear of at the Isle of Thanet shot himself a-shore Stow â â 18. â â 2. â A o 1607. June 11. VII Whales â â 16. â â 10. â A o 1608.

Grampass at Woolwich â â 10. â 16. â A o 1639. April 2 Whales â â 1. â â 25. â § 81. I reckon that Fish are disturbed when they swim visibly above the Water they find themselves ill at ease in the Element and seek ease elsewhere All Animals labour under the secret Influence of a not secret Cause § 82. The Mermaid I take it as I find it I will not dispute whether it were a Reality or a Spectre I can prove Spectres are seen at Sea sometimes and I can believe also that there are such Mockages of Humane Nature by Sea as an Ape is on the Mountain There were Whales seen with it and that 's sufficient And Thus much for the great Superiors Saturn and Mars CHAP.

More abundant Instances from Kepler's and Kyriander's Diary to which the Reader is referr'd 26. This Aspect brings Cold in March April and sometimes May. 27. Yet our Aspect as to Cold is a false and uncertain Configuration 28. â and â no welcome Aspects How we are to be afraid of the Signs of Heaven 29. The Character of the Aspect 30. Zeal for a well-founded Astrology 31. Ancient Times must be reviewed 32. Forien Table of Tempest c. 33. Aspects of the Superiors more Signal than the pure Inferiors 34.

AS the Aspect of â to â were to be regarded because they are Leagues and Alliances of Superiour Planets upon the same account are these Habitudes of â and â to be heeded with a sober and composed Observation For Astrologers justly crack of great things proceeding from their Supeoiours though not every moment falling out yet recorded abroad and some of them comprehended within the Memory of Man yea it may be hapning every 7 years as in â and â hath bin observed § 2. The Aspect of â and â we suspected to be Great even before the knowledge of any Influence only because it visits us but seldom once in two years A â or â will make us wait so long till they return in specie again For such is the Interim of 2 Conjunctions or Oppositions In this later there is some Variety or Design rather in Nature for if â haps to be Retrogade these Two Superiours will face one another twice or thrice before they come off so a great part of the year will be sometimes engag'd according to Us in one considerable Aspect There 's a certain Law in the Heavens we have said which none but Astronomers contemplate none but Astrologers make use of The First look on it as a perplexed business The other a Wise and Powerful Oeconomy But why of all Mathemetical Diagrams should the Celestial Scheme be least useful He who looks upon Architecture and Fortification to be only Trangunims is a Wise Man of great Experience and He who thinks the Distance and the Motions of the Planets with all their Variety either as to themselves or to the rest is only
Siphre and dumb Shew shall sit next to him At present that we may not undertake too much in our discovery we will content our selves with the distance of about gr 3. before and after reserving what falls beyond to our more grand View of Forein Accidents as we have done before we hope with some Satisfaction § 3. But letting alone that Dead-doing Influence of â and â which will shew its self in the Close to the amazement of all pretended Reformers of Science let us consider first it s least offensive Influence toward Cold and for this purpose present the Diary Bipartite Hyemal by its self and the Aestival § 4.

To raise our Thoughts up to the Bulk of our Ponderour Planets 't is best first to make use of Kepler's punctual Diary where you shall meet with not only Nimbi Crebri Pluit Copiosè largitèr tota die Nix Pluvia Ventus magnus Impetuosus Decumanus Tempestas Atrox Horrida c. Now though the same hath been pretended in the Inferiour Aspects yet this I say that Those Aspects so powerful then though we consider'd them Solitary for Methods sake in Nature were not so when they mounted so high as to produce Extremities they were united and backed with Equal yea with greater Aspects than themselves It being an undoubted Truth that the Aspects of the Superiours the Pure Superiour Aspects are of more signal more Majestick Influence then the Pure Inferiours or when a Superiour is mingled with one below him For as beside the Vote of Holy-Writ it is apparent that in an Elephant or Whale the Power of God is more stupendiously seen in the very Bulk and Dimensions of the Animal and the Proportionable Strength so is it among the Celestial Bodies the Congresses and Oppositions c. of the Superiours the Behemoths and Leviathans of the Aether being of greater Bulk of Heavier and Graver pace carry more of the Celestial Creator's Character and Impression than the Meaner so far that as the Strength of the one the Monstrous Animal c. so the Strength of the Other the Planet is incredible § 34. And therefore be sure to reckon always when you see any amazing Extremity of Weather that the Superiour Planets have the greatest Stroke either by their mixt or by their pure Concatenations § 35. Observe secondly the repeated frequency of the Extremity Two days Three Four Five Ten c. which according to the Narrow Inferiours Principle will not hold so long in any Aspect of â¿ except perhaps once in 10 or 20 years upon a Station and therefore must be imputed to a more lasting Radiation Thus A o 1621. in March we find Three Nights together Rain we make nothing of 2 days A o 1627.

'T is easie to parallel this out of the Table of the Storms recorded long before last Century For even A o 1526. we meet with extreme Darkness for 10 days A o 1597. Aug. 17. Our English Fleet were disperst so that they met not till September 5. A o 1598. Jan. 8. lands the Seamen having indured many Storms A o 1615. Octob. the 1. after much Sea Troubles had Sight of Land Nay on Sept. 9. 1598. the Weather was sad and Stormy that in Two Months they had not one Fair day Time was when we thought 50 days too much when it rained so that Corn failed with us in England 1526. and yet our Aspect or Table is yet more unmerciful for in some years with some interruption more or less we often meet with 3 Months Disturbance July August September 1547. and A o 1548. May June July Add Sept. Novemb. Dec. 1557. and 1577. June July Aug Sept. 4 Months A o 1578. So when Gemma tells us that Totius Anni status A o 1562. was infested with Tempests and Storms our Aspect of â and â shall answer for the first 5 Months found twice in the same Sign in that while But may I not mistake non Causa pro Causa I answer not well amids such Testimony I le reach you but one Instance The 50 days Rain when Corn failed we scruple not to assign to our â as a Cause Nor will any man else when he sees the Bodies concern'd lodged in â and â not excluding the â of â and â¿ but we assert our Aspect to make one and a great One and that so confidently that by this we dare convince Lycosthenes of a slip who post-pones that wet Spring to 1528. because there is no such drenching Aspects appear in that after year of which Slips there are too many saving the great usefulness of the Design But I do not pretend to convince all by Astrology Concluding there are more obvious means by comparing other Records c. However this slip I evince by this Method § 37. The Length and the violent Starts of this Aspect being considered we need not wonder if we find prodigious Inundations too often under it where among others that at Home and in Holland A o eod though not the same Month and our Home Inundation in Somersetshire at the beginning of this Century will never be forgotten by the places concerned § 38. Now shall not we who pretend to great things say somewhat to That in our following Table First and miserable deluge in Holland where so many Towns were swallowed up tops of whose Turrets to this Day peep out of the Water I know not on what account omitted by some Annalists where 100000. People were Drown'd I am not such an Atheist as to magnifie second Causes to the prejudice of the First In my Philosophy They illustrate his Glories not Eclipse them I would advise therefore some of our beloved Neighbours of the Low Countries to watch the Caelestial Positions of that time in particular there is a concourse of our two Superiours in â Especially if about the beginning of Nov. which they may know is apt to Floods For in this year 1521. â and â are found in â the one in the beginning of the Sign the other at the End And is not that First according to our Principle And again is there any other Aspect near that is Considerable And yet again This being not our Only Instance in â and â as we shall see Who knows but a little insight in Astrology may save 100000.

Concerning the Halo the Iris we must not repeat what has been said we are in the mind still that there 's more Pencils go to the draught of such Images as we shall see in the Cognate Phaenomenon of the Claritas Septentrionalis which happening in the Night time cannot then arise from the â alone As to the greater appearance of the Parelia and Paraselenae we have here a considerable number a Dodecade of such Rarities and such a Number in spite of fate proves they have some dependance on the Aspect in hand however we cast about to make it out The great Joseph Scaliger on Eusebius was engaged by his Argument to give us some Chronological Notes of these Phenomena but he scarce tells us the Month much less the Day A Fault that more are guilty of besides him having no Opinion of Celestial Philosophy We do not trouble our selves here about their signification Fromond modestly takes off Gemma for his Vanity in that respect He proposes perhaps his own Fancies for standing Rules They can't well reconcile Aristotle and others who make the Parelia to be the Forerunners of Tempests and Showry Weather with Des-Cartes his opinion before commended of a Solar Reflexion from some Icy Particles which at that time may hang in the Air. For nothing hinders but that such Particles may hang in a cold clumsie Air as well as a Sheet of Snow 't is certain floats before 't is portion'd into Flakes Secondly because I well remember that upon the report of three Suns seen at Oxford on a certain day before noon which I neither had hap to see nor yet to record I took notice that the morning was cold Nor does any of these appearances shew themselves at Sea but under a chill Latitude So by a good token Scaliger tells us that his Hollanders saw it in the Latitude of 71. All which sweetly agrees with our Aspect of â and â which we have owned and shall farther prove of a Dry and Cold Energy Claritas Septentrionalis § 72. The Nocturnal Brightness whether in the North or in the East may deserve to be consider'd which we have said cannot come from the â alone but from some new accessions of Light from those Bodies which are as moveable as Torch-Light sometimes together sometimes asunder which though I am assured it springs from a Conflux of Celestials so posited yet I protest 't is hard to find such an appearance without our Aspect of â and â Days noted in Keplers Diary are 1625.

Trigons performed in 794 years space with the Great Mutations of the World pretended to be introduced thereby The Foyle of our great Sire The Days of Enoch The Floud The Law of Moses The Foundation of Rome our Blessed Saviour Charlemaign c. as they seem to be fine Speculations exhibited after the Arabians had muster'd some such observables in Kepler and Ricciolus I do with all deliberation leave them as I found them in as much as my ambition is rather to contribute a Mite toward the advancement of the Celestial Philosophy and the Student whatsoever who shall think fit to take so useful a Theory into his Encyclopaedy On which account I list not to enter a dispute or to pass my Judgement of the Star at the Epiphany of our Lord though Kepler fixed it upon a â of â â de Nova Stella My Employ is about matter great enough for my undertaking without Soaring so high as Alliaco and other Professors § 49. With what face can an Astrologer who lately contended for Drought now talk of Flouds but we have said 't is no contradiction for the rule is Idem qud idem But now the case is altered and you will please to remember the Oracles which spoke of Droughts mentions Flouds also We have been dipt in Flouds before but there is no avoiding them They return upon us again in the name of â â â The First Floud we find is in the Kingdom of Naples usher'd in as Junctine will have it by a Comet V.

this Nice Question § 58. But why the Southerly and Westerly If any ask he may be answered from the Premises that the Lunation helps to warm the Air and by Consequence to the warmer Winds The West and South are such § 59. The indetermination or Change of the Wind in the same Day is notable in my Judgement the Solution is easie for the Change I find makes from the cooler quarter to the warmer 'T is to be ascribed to the Approach of the â½ toward the Solar Body which at distance suffers a North or East Wind to blow But in the nearer application befriends the Air with a Token of her Favour The â½ swift in Motion by reason of which she was thought to have no great Influence herein appears to be serviceable to the Change of the Wind which often alters according to the â½ 's application or recess from the Sun c. So Fate will have it that what is objected to her prejudice tends to her Lustre in Demonstration of her Influence § 60. Kepler therefore and others Eichstad c. make too little of this â â â½ not vouchsafing to mention it except when the â½ is found engaged with others preâgaged among themselves while they impute great Effects to some of his own Pseudo-Aspects As great an affront to the â and â½ as can be offer'd Whether that great Mathematician disdained to own any part of his Skill to the less mysterious traditionary way or rather whether he unhappily refused right measures which offered themselves § 61. But could this great Man think if but from his own Diarys â â â½ is insignificant when in the solitary Year 1617. it rained 7 times on the very day of the Aspect not to meddle with Wind as many times Anno 1621. and 1622. VI. times Anno 1623. to press it no further § 62. Only upon the account of Thunder to which Meteor as rarely as it happens with us we say that even with us this Aspect inclines with a remote yet real Propension and in Germany more On which account we ask again does Thunder appear but a day before the change May 4. Anno 1617. S. N. And shall that Change have no influence thereon At that time there was Thunder and excess of Rain with a â â â But he acknowledges that alone could not answer to so great a Product No nor which he is forced to produce his Quincunx of â and â And yet Ne sic quidem Causarum satis apparet as he honestly confesseth All this while suffering the â to stand by blushing by it self because unsaluted when as he might have observed that not a year scapes him in his whole Decade which brings not that Constitution at the Change Once perhaps Anno 1626. twice Anno 1621. 1628. thrice Anno 1622. 1627. four times Anno 1623. 1625. and more then once Anno 1629. If Meteorum Diurnum may go for Lightning what do I speak of IX or X. years when in the Norimberg Diary from 1623. to 1646. a notable Peice lent me by the Learned Dr. Bernard there appears but two years of Twenty Four wherein there is no noise of Thunder heards at some aestival New â½ or other In the rest 't is ordinary to hear it thrice at one Aspect Now let any man tell me there is no inclination to Thunder in the New â½ And if it must be granted for Germany it must be granted though but a Pin or two lower in England also But if to Thunder what inclination hath it to Rain I pray Let the Adversary answer § 63. The Pretence of the â½ 's swift Course and Transit is not so well Eichstad Ephem For first the Transit is not so sudden it challengeth 3 or 4 Hours in spite of Fate The Face of Heaven is alterable in less time for though it is true many times Clouds by the slow approach of Causes conspiring do leisurely gather into a density while Rain in the Country Phrase is brewing yet I have seen Heaven oft overcast of a suddain and descend in a Showre yea Fair Weather and anon Thunder Charged and Discharged and all in a quarter of an Hour § 64. What shall we say to those Conjunctions which bring their Effect within the time of their Corporal Contact within 3 or 4 Hours such as January 19. Anno 1671. Jan. 19. Anno 1672. Febr. 25. Anno. 1674. Febr. 21. Anno. 77. March 30. Anno 1671. April 28. ejusdem Anni April 7. Anno 1673. April 21. Anno 1677. May 2. c. All these with a little computation will be found to fall within the terms of the said partil Aspect as manifest as the great Dash on Sept. 10. from hor 8. to 10. P. which proclaims the Change at the Hour 10. at Night Or the excess of Wet February 21. Anno. 1671. hor. 7. mane proclaims the Change at 10. Morning To say nothing of the smart Showers July 4. 11. hor. Vesp hint a Lunation following the next Feria at hor 2 Matutine Yea nor of these Trajections which have been observed to shoot at this very time of which we have Examples in the Table Sept. 27 Anno 1676. November 14. Anno 1677. so that 't is not the brief Transit which indeed hath a due Extent makes the â½ ineffectual but the flinching of the rest when they are ready for Correspondence the Spunge is full and then a Light and transient pressure expresseth moisture otherwise the Spunge is dry and stubborn and will not yield what is expected § 65. 'T is confessed by the experience of Eichstad that the Aspect happening in the Angles i. e. the Oriental Occidental or Meridional is wont to bring Rain But the Course of the â½ is the same in those Angles as elsewhere and seeing Aspects Platique are also Operative what Conjunction is there that doth not visit those Angles at distance more or less The Fault therefore lies in the Principles of those who discern not or overlook the other Causes which are of the secret Committee as I may call it where this Aspect seems to preside § 66. Posterity will make up this Induction if there be need from all Europe if not from all parts of the World And whereas many ingenious Men say our Island hath no Correspondence with the Continent which renders the attempts of Prognostic Ridiculous because impossible 'T is but an Excuse the New â½ hath the same Influence here and there and all over the World Observatis Observandis in the prime product be sure and in its Consequents acording to the Capacity of the Region and the Time of the Year Since Fog Snow Rain Lightning are all united in one Original and though they be opposite do you mark me may be predicted for the same day in the several parts of the World by them who live upon the Spot and know the disposition of several Places § 67. What difficulty appears in the Prognostic at home arises not because we are an Island but
because we are in a Northern Island The Weather is more Regular and of far more easie Prediction in the Torrid Zone as all Mariners will inform you then in the Temperature where the Anomaly is greatest according as the Elevation of the Pole is more or less But this difficulty Astrology mastereth § 68. These things rightly understood our Natural definitions will prove to be no longer of a precarious Credit or denyed their acceptation because hitherto labouring under the ill Aspect of a notion Astrological while Prejudice for a while puts us out of conceit with Truth § 69. Let the Adversaries of this Principle in the mean while bespeak the next 25 or 30 years to bring in a contrary indication as if the Heavens under this Aspect or its Equivalent for we are sure of all as of one were indifferent to Cold or Tepid Moist or Dry. Alas when they have carefully watched the Heavenly Motions they will be brought by their own experience to the Old Saw the Good Wives Tradition unless they bespeak the â and â½ once again miraculously to stand Stand I say for if they move either forward or backward though in this latter I confess some confusion of Seasons will happen yet as to this Propension or Influence the case will be the same Let the Reader therefore raise his attentions towards Aspects in general comprehending not the Lunar only but the rest all of which stand indictable for hundreds of grand commotions in the universe recorded in Chronicles or History Marine since even this our Novi-lunar Aspect affords us such excesses not Tempests only but other more prodigious accidents whether above as Comets which we take to be of Kin to enflamed Meteors or below as Earthquakes and Inundations also wich follow either Tempests or Earthquakes Let those Learned Men who shall write of either Comet or Earthquake look back into History and he shall find Truth in the remark And so although more may be said we are willing to conclude the Chapter § 70. Only there is another way to work to clear up the Reputation of the New â½ for a perpetual and in some Station an Infallible Influence we tried once by the vulgar Months and they would not comply 'T is true in September October and December you shall find it fails there but once of VII times Revolution What then said we if we should try in some certain Signs which make up three Months be sure as far as 30 and 31 days will go though they enter not till 10 days after the appearance of the Kalender-Month If we can bring certain days in the year thirty in number where the â â â½ never fails as to Rain then the â½ as inconstant as she appears in her Visor is not alway inconstant in her Influence Then the beloved Infallibility of the Conclusion is come up or at least is worth observing when the Effect is not short but exactly commensurate to the number of her Revolutions But so it is as may appear by the survey of this Table some Lunations in such and such Signs are so saithful to their pretences  â â â½ Â Sign Revolution Event â VII 4. â VII 6. â VII 7. â VII 6. â VII 6. â VIII 4. â VIII 7. â VII 7. â VII 6. â VII 5. â VII 6. â VIII 7. The Signs we point at are â i. e. part of March and April and part of July and August â part of December and January but above all commend me to â most sure and most abounding A New â½ between XII of August and 12 of September brings Showres 7 times in 7 Revolutions Toties quoties Now this I hope doth not cassate what we have said but corroborate CHAP.

THe next Aspect is the â a Configuration as notorious as the Conjunction God having pleased to bestow on it an Influence so manifest that his power in the rest of the Celestials might be the more early regarded This Aspect facing us with a Full and Serious look that all who have Eyes and opportunity may discern the effect of its presence The New â½ hides her self from us Envies us that Sight and Calculation of her punctual Congress but this offers her self without a Veil even to the Eyes of Wayfarers Shepherds Sea-Men and so first contributes to Astrology For since it is apparent that she hath power over our Bodies We Mortals without the benefit of this plain Aspect should have snored in darkness and ignorance smarting as the wild Beasts under the Pole by Celestial Influence yet not knowing who hurts us § 2. Let the Philosophers after Plutarch discourse of the Face in the Lunar Discus whether they be Vales or Waters or whatsoever the Faith of the Hevelian Telescope will perswade Sure there is some final Cause of that as to the Vulgar it seems Humane appearance and That not any Intent to stumble the poor Heathens into their pitiable Idolatry but rather a Design of raising our attention to that Luminary which shining in its brightness shews no naked Form or Beauty but such as is invested with Power not Illuminative I say but Irritative also which we come now to evidence if after the New â½ 's demonstration there be necessity of so doing § 3. We have assigned in our Table the space of 3 days for this â as well as we have already for â And more perhaps we might for what should hinder Unless we have a kindness for the Quincunx and if so then we should have some regard for the Semisextile also bordering upon the Change which can never be allow'd at least in the Lunar observation as hath been said â â â½ The Diary January 1671. â 5.
