A88936	Riddles mervels and rarities: or, A new way of health, from an old man's experience, &c. Being his kind legacy, to his fellow creatures: or, the physician, and no physician, prescribing physick, and no physick; shewing plain, easie, and cheap ways, how every man may become his own physician, his own apothecary, and his own chyrurgeon, with little or no trouble, but far less cost. Whereby sickness may certainly be prevented to the well; health, as certainly procur'd to the sick; and man's life comfortably preserv'd, to a good old age.... Divided into 2 parts, by two universal medicines; the one physical, the other natural; the first the worst, the second the best. Also a short discourse concerning the phylosopher's stone, ... With several other choice observations of profitable use, as may be seen in the table here annext.	Mace, Thomas, d. 1709?	1698 (1698)	Wing M121A; ESTC R229881	30,352	40

Art which they give And when I had done I began to Examine the Figure by Those Rules in each particular The first Thing I did was to see whether the Child was likely to Live or no. But to be short all the Rules for Life were absolutely against the Child yea very Dismally Sad insomuch That if their Rules were True the Child could not Live long Whereupon I was very much Amus'd because of the Relation my She Friend gave me of the Hopefulness of the Contrary c. So that I began to Suspect my own Vnskillfulness in the setting of the Figure being it was my First attempt in That Kind So I went into my Study and Examin'd my Figure Over and Over again to try where the Fault lay for I thought it lay in my Figure I set but when I had wearied my self sufficiently in so doing and could find no Fault in setting the Figure I was Confirm'd that That Child could not live long And so I came forth and shew'd my two Loving Friends what I had done c. and gave my Judgment accordingly but They Smil'd at it in an ordinary Slighting way c. and so it rested a while Then after Dinner I went and set the Figure of the Mother of That Child because I had a great mind upon such certain Radical Terms as then I had concerning the Punctuallity of the Time c. to see what was likely to become of the Mother as well as of the Child and in short I found the Mother as Desperately in Danger of Death as the Child according to the Rules the Learned in That Science have left upon Record Whereupon I came forth again to my two Antagonists and told them what I had found concerning the Mother as aforesaid but they Laught on as before c. so then we were to wait to see the Issue what would follow hereupon which in short was Thus viz. That within a Week or ten Days Both Child and Mother were Dead The Issue of the whole story whereupon my two Friends were forc'd to put on another kind of Countenance I told them I was no Witch but a meer Young Novice in That Art and what I had Predicted was not my Own but what I found Recorded from known Experience and from the Rules of Art which are That if Such and Such Positions of The Stars and Planets were So and So in any Nativity at the Hour or Moment of Birth Such and Such Consequences would undoubtedly Follow either for Good or for Bad c. the which most exactly came to pass with This Mother and Her Child This is as true a Story as ever was Told and was so convincing to me at that Time as also by divers Trials since Then as that I have been Confirm'd of the Verity of That Wonderful Admired Art and if all the Pretended Artists were as Knowing and as Innocently Honest and True as the Art it self is Real and Infallible it would have more Fidelians by Multitudes than at present it has But enough of this Some Plain and Easie Rules to instruct all such who would either Give or take Physick so as that they may know from the Rules of That Art how to chuse a Fit and Proper Season so that the Physick may Work more Effectually and Kindly with the Patient than otherwise it would do If given at an Unseasonable Time THE first thing to be known is The Seven Planets and their Order which is Thus viz. The First Planet and the Highest is Saturn Markt thus ♄ The Second Is Jupiter ♃ The Third Is Mars ♂ The Forth Is Sol or the Sun ☉ The Fifth Is Venus ♀ The Sixth Is Mercury ☿ The Seventh and Lowest is Luna ☽ The Second Thing to be known is THat these seven Planets Refer to the seven Days of the Week viz. Thus Saturn Refers to Saturday Jupiter to Thursday Mars to Tuesday Sol to Sunday Venus to Fryday Mercury to Wednesday and Luna to Monday These two Rules must be got readily by Heart The Third Thing to be known is THat every Planet Rules the first Hour of his own Day viz. The first Hour after Sun Rise The next Planet in Order after him Rules the next Hour after that viz. The second Hour after Sun Rises And so every Planet takes his Hour Orderly the One after the Other till the first seven Hours are run out and then the first Planet again takes the Eight Hour the second Planet the Ninth Hour the third Planet the Tenth Hour the forth Planet the Eleventh Hour and the fifth Planet the Twelfth Hour viz. to Sun-set And thus are the Twelve Hours of the Day provided with different and Proper Planets to Rule Them And now for the Hours of the Night THey keep the same Order only you are to Remember where you last left off and let the next Planet to That rule the first Hour from Sun-set and so carry them in the same Order through the 12 Hours of the Night till Sun-rise again and by That Rule you 'l find the Proper Planet for the next day will come in to take his proper Hour at Sun-rise One thorough Example will make all very Plain A plain Example for Saturday therefore I 'll set down one for the 24 Hours of Saturday till Sun-rise on Sunday as follows Saturn Rules the first Hour from Sun-rise on Saturday viz. Note Well from 6 till 7 a-Clock that is if the Sun do not Rise before or after 6 which is about the 10th of March or September Then from 7 to 8 a Clock Jupiter Rules from 8 to 9 Mars from 9 to 10 Sol ●●●es from 10 to 11 Venus Rules from 11 to 12 Mercury Rules and from 12 to One a Clock Luna Rules Now Note From One to Two Saturn comes in again and Rules which is the 8th Hour from Sun-rise Then from 2 to 3 a-Clock Jupiter Rules from 2 to 4 Mars Rules from 4 to 5 Sol Rules and then from 5 to Sun-set Venus Rules thus the 12 Hours of the Day are run out Now for the Night from 6 a-Clock to 7 Mercury Rules from 7 to 8 Luna Rules from 8 to 9 Saturn from 9 to 10 Jupiter from 10 to 11 Mars from 11 to 12 Sol from 12 to 1 Venus from 1 to 2 Mercury from 2 to 3 Luna from 3 to 4 Saturn from 4 to 5 Jupiter from 5 to 6 Mars now from 6 to 7 Sol and here you see Sol Rules the first Hour on Sunday as Saturn did on Saturday Practice thus your self with all the other Days and you 'l find it very Easie A Rule to know the length of a Planetary Hour every 10 Days for every Month in the Year THe first 10 Days in January 40 Minutes the second 10 Days 43 Minutes the last 10 Days 46 Minutes The first 10 Days in February 48 Minutes the second 10 Days 51 Minutes the last 54 Minutes The first 10 Days in March 58 Minutes the second 10

Days 60 Minutes or an Hour the last 1 Hour 5 Minutes The first 10 Days in April 1 Hour 10 Minutes the second 10 Days 1 Hour 13 Minutes the last 1 Hour 16 Minutes The first 10 Days in May 1 Hour 19 Minutes the second 10 Days 1 Hour 22 Minutes the last 1 Hour 23 Minutes The first 10 Days in June 1 Hour 24 Minutes the second 10 Days 1 Hour 24 Minutes the last 1 Hour 23 Minutes And now as the Days begin to shorten Now begin to shorten them Backwards to January so you must shorten the Hours proportionably Backwards by Minutes as you lengthned them by Minutes and by this Rule you may assure your self of the just length of a Planetary Hour for any day in the Year I need say no more as to This. This following Easie and Short Way I drew out at the Request of a Friend who was not willing to take the Pains of Observing all the Exactnesses of Those former Rules and it may serve Tollerably well with much more Ease than the Former THere are six Hours every day in the Year which may be good to take Physick in viz. Three in the Morning and Three in the Afterhoon And when the Days and Nights are at an Equal Length Then Thus First On Sunday The first 3 Hours begin from an Hour after Sun Rise the second 3 from about 2 a Clock Afternoon Secondly On Monday The first 3 Hours begin from 2 Hours before Sun Rise the second 3 from about 11 till 2 Afternoon Thirdly On Tuesday The first 3 begin from 2 Hours after Sun Rise till about 11 a-Clock the second 3 from about 3 till 6. Forthly On Wednesday The first 3 from the Hour before Sun Rise till 2 Hours after the third 3 from about 12 till 3. Fifthly On Thursday The first 3 from about 9 in the Morning till about 12 and from about 4 Afternoon till about 7. Sixthly On Fryday The first 3 from Sun Rise till about 9 a-Clock and from 1 Afternoon till about 4. Seventhly On Saturday The first 3 from about 10 in the Morning till 1 and from about 5 Afternoon till about 8. This Rule will hold Exactly True when the Days and Nights are of an Equal Length as in March and September But as the Days Lengthen or Shorten so must your Planitary Hours Lengthen or Shorten Therefore to be very Exact you must always Divide the Time betwixt Sun-Rise and Sun-Setting into 12 Equal Parts and every Part is a Planitary Hour be it more or less But if That be too Troublesome for you let it suffice that you Observe only the abovesaid Rule and because you have three Hours Good ever coming together you cannot miss of a Tollerable Good Time but to be sure you will Miss the Evil Time and That is a Great Benefit I could have been more at Large but because you do not desire to Trouble your Self in such Curiousness This may be of Good Vse unto You From Your Loving Friend T. M. The Use of a Planetary Hour in Physick c. THe Right use is To chuse such an Hour to take a Vomit or a Purge in so as that the Physick may Work kindly with the Patient and Effectually c. And it has been Observ'd by the Learn'd That if Physick be given in the Hour of Saturn or Mars it will work very Roughly and Painfully with the Patient those two Planets being counted In-Fortunes and in Physick their Hours always to be Refus'd Now there are 2 Planets of a different Nature to Saturn and Mars which generally are esteem'd Good viz. Venus and Luna whose Hours are to be chosen they being Active Cool Gentle and Moist Planets and do cause the Humours in the Body to be more Flued and Active so that they come away more Freely and with less Violence Therefore when you take Physick always observe to take it in one of the Hours of Venus or Luna Mercury may do well sometimes either of which will afford you its Hour once in seven either in Morning or in Afternoon as you may perceive by Those former Rules Therefore be careful to Understand them well and then you will find both a Great Benefit and Content in so doing and as well in other matters as in Physick as occasion may fall out The Wise Man tells us Ecclesiastes 3. v. 1 2 3 4 5. c. There is a Time for All Things under the Sun An Advertisement for the Satisfaction of those who may think this is Odd or Strange that Musick is here join'd with Physick in this Work READER I Am not Ignorant How That through Ignorance or Worse viz. Envy c. This Work of Mine Especially This Latter Part or Conclusion by Musick lies liable to the Rash Censures of several sorts of Short-sighted People which may Meet it And methinks I See and Hear some of them Frumpingly Laugh and say What! Conclude a Serious Physical Book with a Song This is a Piece of Strange Impertinency c. Or Nothing to the Purpose as to Matter in Hand c. Therefore to Rectifie the mistake of all such I will here inform them of such their Gross Ignorance in That Particular and let them Plainly See the Great Affinity and Likeness that is betwixt Physick and Musick they both being Properly and Suitably alike as to the Health and Well-being of the Man both in Body and Mind both which make the Compleat Man for as the Body without the Mind is No Man but a Dead Lump only so the Mind without the Body is No Man but a living Spirit only So that as Physick is Properly Adapted for the Groser and Lower part of Man the Body so likewise is Musick as properly design'd for the Purer and more sublime Part of Man the Mind therefore it may be Properly said that Physick is Musick and Musick is Physick The which may run in a Handsome Proverb Thus viz. As Physick is Musick to the Body me find So Musick is Physick to a Sick Temper'd Mind The Proof of This will be clearly Manifest both from Scripture and from History I 'll here Instance in Two Uncontroublable Great Examples The One from Scripture viz. David's Curing Saul's Distemper'd Sick-Mind by Musick Only The Other from Unquestionable History viz. Concerning The Strange Disease of The Terrantula which all Learn'd Physicians know is a Poison of a certain little Creature coming from its Teeth or Sting like That of a Wasp c. so that whosoever receives That Poison soon after falls into a Violent Fit of Distracted Madness no Cure could ever be found out for it But Musick only and That Perfectly Cures them Now these being such Realities and Uncontroulable Truths What will my Inconsiderate Frumper say or do for himself for Laughing c. at he knows not What I 'll tell Him what he shall do and by Doing it It may possibly chance to Do him Good My Advice therefore is This viz. Let Him go Learn to Construe
