A short Prognostication concerning Children born every Day of the Week according to Hali and others A Child born on Sunday shall be of long Life and obtain great Riches A Child born on Monday shall be weak ●nd of an effeminate Temper and seldom ●ome to Honour A Child born on Tuesday shall be given ●p to the inordinate Desire of Riches and ●s in danger of dying by Violence A Child born on Wednesday shall be given ●o the Study of Learning and shall profit thereby A Child born of Thursday shall arrive to great Honour and Dignity A Child born on Friday shall be of a ●trong Constitution but very Letcherous ●nd if it be a Female is in great danger of ●urning Whore A Child born on Saturday shall be dull and ●eavy of a dogged Disposition and sel●lom come to good IV. Of the Birth of Children with respect to the Age of the Moon TO be born on the first Day of the New Moon is very fortunate For to such all things shall succeed well their Sleep shall be sweet and their Dreams pleasant they shall have a long Life and increase in Riches A Child born the second Day of the new Moon shall grow apace but will be much inclin'd to Lust whether it be Male or Female This day is also proper to go on Messages to trade by Land or to sail on the Sea as also to put Seed into the Ground that it may thrive On this Day also thy Dreams shall quickly come to pass whether they be good or bad It is also good on this day to open a Vein if there be occasion A Child born on the third Day of the Moon shall dye quickly or at least be short liv'd On this day to begin any

Goods It also shews them to be merry and jocose of a good disposition and loving the company of good Men They seldom live long but if they reach to thirty five Years they may live to old Age. They shall never be very Rich except in their own Opinions always full of troublesome thoughts and are in danger of being brought into Captivity by means of Women They have commonly some mark either in the Elbow or Foot and their fortune will come from the South If the Native be a Woman she will be hot bold of an insolent Tongue contumelious a notorious Scold and something worse for she will forsake her own Husband and cleave to an Adulterer Thus I have given you an Account of the Influences of the Sun being in any of the Coelestial Signs by which any Person may know in what Sign the Sun was at the time of his Birth XV. Of the Evil or Perillous Days in every Month of the Year according to Erra Pater a Jewish Doctor in Astronomy and Physick THat Great Doctor Erra Pater who is so famous for his Prognostications assures us that there are certain Days in the Year which it concerns all Persons to know because they are so perillous and dangerous For on these Days as he saith if any Man or Woman shall be let Blood they shall die within twenty one Days following or whoso falleth Sick on any of these Days they shall certainly die And whoso beginneth a Journy on any of these Days he shall be in danger of Death before he return Also he that Marrieth a Wife on any of these Days they shall either be quickly parted or else live together with much Sorrow and Discontent And lastly Whosoever on any of these Days beginneth any great Business it will never prosper nor come to its desired Perfection Now since these Days according to Erra Pater are so unfortunate it highly concerns every one both to know and take notice of them which the Reader may do I have here set them down in the following Order Vnfortunate Days in each Month. In January are eight Days that is to say the 1st 2d 4th 5th 10th 15th 17th and 19th In February are three Days that is the 8th 17th and 19th In March are three Days that is the 15th 16th and 21th In April are two Days the 15th and the 21th In May are three Days that is the 15th 17th and 20th In June are two Days the 4th and the 7th In July are two Days the 15th and 20th In August are two Days the 19th and the 20th In September are two Days the 6th and 7th In October is one Day the 6th In November are two Days the 5th and the 19th In December are three Days the 6th the 7th and the 11th And others say the 15th and the 16th But besides these there are also the Canicular or Dog-days which are Days of great Danger and Peril and they begin the 19th day of July and end the 27th day of A●gust during which time it is very dangerous to fall Sick to take Physick or to be let Blood but if Necessity call for it it is best to be done before the midst of the Day XVI Of the Planetary Days and Hours and how to know under what Planet a Man is born THe Planetary Hours are these Hours in which each Planet Reigns and has the chief Dominion Of which Erra Pater Albamazer and others of the Ancient Learned Doctors give the following Account Saturn is Lord on Saturday Jupiter is Lord on Thursday Mars is Lord on Tuesday Sol is Lord on Sunday Venus Reigns on Friday Mercury on Wednesday Luna on Munday On Saturday the first Hour after Midnight Saturn reigns the Second Jupiter the third Mars the fourth hour Sol reigns the fifth hour Venus the sixth Mercury and the seventh hour Luna and then again Saturn the eighth hour Jupiter the ninth hour Mars the tenth hour Sol the eleventh hour Venus the twelfth hour Mercury the thirteenth Luna the fourteenth and then the third time Saturn the fifteenth Jupiter the sixteenth Mars the seventeenth Sol the eighteenth Venus the nineteenth Mercury the twentieth and Luna the one and twentieth ●our Then in the fourth place Saturn the two and twentieth hour Jupiter the three and twentieth and Mars the four and twentieth And then Sol beginneth the first hour after Midnight on Sunday Venus the second hour Mercury the third and so to 24 which is the hour of Mercury and then Luna begins the first hour after Midnight on Monday Saturn the second Jupiter the third and so to 24 again which is the hour of Jupiter and then Mars begins the first hour after Midnight on Tuesday and Sol the second and so forward hour by hour and Planet by Planet according to their Order by which every Planet reigns the first Hour of his own Day And so likewise the 8th the 15th and the 22d As for Instance Saturn reigns the first hour the 8th the 15th and the 22d on Saturday Sol the same hours on Sunday Luna the same on Monday Mars the same on Tuesday Mercury the same on Wednesday Jupiter the same on Thursday and so Venus on Friday Which for the readier and easier finding out I have thus set down XVII A Table of the Planetary Hours for every Day in the Week Sunday Mond Tuesd Wedn.
