between two and three a clock afternoon as appeareth in the Almanack answerable unto the day of the Month also by the same Rules you may gather any other Herbs or Plants at the right planetary hours accordingly which are out of controversie Rules whereby to gather such Herbs and plants which are in Controversie that so you may have the true planetary influence notwithstanding as followeth VVHen you are minded to gather any herb or Plant in controversie as instance dandelion before mentioned this Plant being by my rules under Venus but by some Autho●s appropriated unto Jupiter by reason it hath a virtue to open the obstructions of the Liver being under Jupiter But it hath also a virtue to open and cleanse the passages of urine as I have already declared which is under Venus but chiefly it hath the first elemental quality of being cold agreeing with Venus whereas Jupiter is hot Now to reconcile this or any other difference of the like nature do as followeth Let both Planets in question at the time of gathering be in Conjunction Sextile or T●ine aspect unto each other Or otherwise let the Moon be seperating and applying by any of those aspects from the one planet to the othe● by this rule you may have the true planetary influence of both planets in question Alwayes provided that the Lord of the Hour doth accord with the first elemental quality of the planet be it hot or cold wherefore in this condition Venus must be Lord of the Hour at the time of gathering the herb or plant accordingly I shall instance one herb more Suppose I was minded to gather Sweet-marjerome which plant is by many Authors appropriated unto the planet Mercury the reason they give is because Mercury is conjoyned in some particular operations of the brain and this plant is of known virtue to comfort the brain But by my rules and dayly experience I find it to be under the dominion of the sun First by reason of its elemental qualities as agreeing with heat and drith Secondly in regard of its virtues for all herbs and plants which are of sweet smell and are of approved virtues to comfort the heart brain nerves and arteries and vital spirits as this plant is are justly and rationally accounted to be under the dominion of the Sun who is the fountain of life Lord of Leo and exalted in Aries whereas Mercury hath only predominancy over some particular operations of the brain as he hath in all the five sences It s Generally approved of all Authors that the bulk of the brain in all creatures is under the dominion of the Moon The vital and quickning part under the Sun the operation of Mercury as aforesaid Now to gather this plant at the right planetary hour that so you may have the influence of both planets in question you must do as before expressed let those planets concerned be in either Conjunction Trine or Sextile aspect unto each other at the time of gathering or otherwise let the Moon be separating and applying from the one planet to the other at the time of gathering by any of the before going aspects Example If I were minded to gather the said sweet marjerome in September 1669. about which time such like plants are in their prime to gather In which moneth upon the fourteenth day the Sun and Mercury are in partil Conjunction but their influence holds above a week before and after for until they are separated ten degrees from each other their Orbs Raies or Influence holds strong unto perfection wherefore you may gather this plant aright upon Sunday the fifth day or upon Sunday the tenth day or upon Sunday the fifteenth day from the Suns rising until the Sun is about an hour in hight and likewise in the afternoon between one and two of the clock as appeareth in the perpetual Almanack for the day appointed Also you may gather any days of those weeks when the Sun is Lord of the hour and if the Moon be in friendly aspect it s the better how to find the Lord of the hour I have shewed elsewhere at the beginning of the second book NOTE That in gathering all kinds of herbs and plants whatsoever more especially when you intend to do any great cure you must get the influential virtue of one of the fortunes viz. the Sun Jupiter or Venus to be joyned or be in some friendly aspect with that planet which owns the plant having regard unto the infirmity or grief which either by simpathy or antipathy hath any relation to the fortune as instance endive which is cold and dry under Mercury yet in regard its approved good to cool the heat of the liver which is under Jupiter therefore let Jupiter be in Conjunction Trine or Sextile aspect unto Mercury or the Moon separating and applying by any of those aspects from the one planet to the other when you gather the plant this is to be done when an infortune owns the plant or herb you are minded to gather A Plain and Easie may how to gather herbs or plants aright that so you may have the benefit both of the day and hour when each planet reigneth which owneth the plant throughout the year And will generally serve to gather any Herbs or plants aright for the use of physick Being fitted for every ten dayes of the Month throughout the year and so for ever NOTE All Herbs and Plants which are under the dominion of the Sun are gathered on Sundayes and all those herbs and plants which are under the dominion of the Moon are gathered on Mondayes and all those under Mars on Tuesdayes and all those under Mercury on wednesdayes and all those under Jupiter on Thursdayes and all those under Venus on Fridayes and all those under Saturn on Saturdayes Now every planet which is Lord of the day ●uleth the first and the eighth hour of the day each day being divided into twelve equal parts which we call the planetary hours and so the planetary hours are near twice so long in the highest of Summer as they are in the midst of winter Example Suppose I were minded to gather herbs or plants under the dominion of Sol upon one of the first ten dayes of January Then upon Sunday from the Suns rising which is six minutes after eight a clock until 46 min. past eight in the morning and likewise from 40 minutes past noon until 20 minutes past one you may gather any herb or plant under the dominion of the Sun by which account you have the benefit both of the day and hour as aforesaid as appeareth in the Table following you may do the like for any other plant or herb whatsoever alwayes remembring that the planet which is Lord of the day ever ruleth the first and the eighth hour divided as aforesaid into twelve equal parts January the first 10 days Length of the planetary hours Bef noon From the Suns rising which is 6 min. after 8 until 46 min. past 8.
