intervals are measured And is a Periodical Revolution of a great Circle of Months and Days in which the four Seasons of Spring Summer Autumn and Winter are after one Revolution of the Sun ordain'd to ●eturn to their Courses But there are divers sorts of Years as saith ●he Ancients according to divers Nations which ●re different from one another reduced to the Rule of the Celestial Motions The Year is divided into Astronomical and Political The Astronomical Year is also two fold that Solar and Lunar The Solar Year is the time in which the Sun by ●is proper Motion departing from one Point of the Ecliptick returns to the same again And this is called either Natural or Sydrial 1. The Natural or Tropical Year is the Space of Time in which the Sun departing from out of the Tropical Equinoctial or Solstitial Points and running through the Ecliptick returneth to the same again This Natural or Tropical Year is also two fold mean or equal and true called also inequal The mean or equal Tropical Year contains 365 Days 5 Hours 49 Minutes 15 Seconds The true or inequal Tropical Year is sometimes more and sometimes less there the equal by 6 or 7 Minutes so it increaseth or decreaseth according to the swift or slow Progress of the Equinoctial or Solstitical Points 2. The Syderial Year is the Space of Time in which the Sun returns to the same Star from whence he departed and is 365 Days 6 Hours 9 Minutes but in the Seconds there is a difference among Authors Now the Lunar Year is likewise two fold the Common which is 12 Moons or 354 Days 8 Hours c. The Embalismal which is 13 Moons or Lunations containing 383 Days 21 Hours c. The Political or Civil Years be such as be commonly used for the Distinction of Times wherein respect is had either to the Motion of the Sun or Moon only or to them both together according to the Custom of divers Nations The Julian or old Roman Year consisting of 365 Days and six Hours I his Julian Account or Year is used by the English Muscovites Syrians Abassines and Ethiopians tho' the Name of their Months differ It is held to begin with the Vulgar on the first of January Which is therefore call'd New-year's Day But according to the State Accounts the Year begins not till the 25th Day of March at which time they alter the Date of the Year As for Example The first Day of January next will be reckon'd the first Day of the Year 1698 but because the State Account begins not till the 25th of March they commonly write the Date double thus 1697 8 from the 1st of January to the 25th of March after which they write only 1698. The Gregorian or new Roman Year is so called because mended by Pope Gregory the 13th consists of 365 Days 5 Hours 49 Minutes and 12 Seconds It begins on our 22d of December being 10 Days before the Julian And is received in all Countries owning the Authority of the See of Rome and in some Prostant Countries also as in the six or seven Provinces Vtretcht keeping the Julian Account Of Months The Months by which we measure the Year are of two ●orts viz. Astronomical and Political and each hath several Divisions Astronomical or Natural are according to the Motion of the Sun and Moon and be either Solar or Lunar the Solar are the Spans of Time in which the Sun runs through a twelfth part of the Zodiack of which there are two sorts mean or equal true or unequal An equal Solar Month is the Time in which the Sun ●●n by his mean Motion goeth a twelfth part of the Zodiack and is always 30 Days 10 Hours 29 Minutes 6 Seconds c. But the true or apparent is according to the true Motion of the Sun thro' the Zodiack for when he is in or near his Apogeon the Month● are longer but when he is in or near his Perigeon they are shorter Lunar Months are referred to the Moon 's Motion and are chiefly three fold viz. First Periodical which is the Space of Time in which the Moon by her mean Motion goeth through the Zodiack and is about 27 Days 8 Hours Secondly Synodical which is the Space of Time from one Conjunction to another being performed according to the Moon 's mean Motion in 29 Days 12 Hours 44 Minutes and about 4 Seconds but according to the Moon 's true Motion it is sometimes greater or lesser by about 12 Hours Thirdly The Month of Illumination or Apparition is said to be 28 Days or 4 Weeks it being the longest time that the Moon is to be seen between Change and Change Lastly The Political Months are civil and usual as every Nation best pleaseth which differ both in Proportion and Name Of Days and Hours Days are either Natural or Artificial A Day Natural is one entire Revolution of the Sun about the Earth which is performed in 24 Hours containing both Day and Night And this Day the English begin at Mid-night but the Astronomers begin it at Mid-day or Noon An Artificial Day is from Sun-rising to Sun-setting differs in length of equal Hours according to the Sun's place in the Zodiack and Latitude of the Region But in unequal Hours call'd Planetaty Hours there are 12 so that one Hour is the 12th part of a Day be it long or short and the Hours that make an Artificial Day are from 6 to 6 that is 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 2 3 4 5 6. I shall now give some brief Directions for the Knowledge of the Weather Signs of Fair Weather The Sun rising bright and clear if he drive the Clouds before him into the West If at his Rising there appears a Circle about him and it vanisheth equally away If the Sun set Red. If the Moon be clear three Days after the Change or three Days before the Full. If the Clouds appear with yellow Edges A cloudy Sky clearing against the Wind. The Rain-bow after Rain appearing meanly Red. Mists coming down from the Hills and setling in the Valleys or white Mists rising from the Waters in the Evening Crows or Ravens gaping against the Sun Beetles flying in the Evening Batts flying abroad sooner than ordinary Many Flies or Gnats playing in the Sun-shine at Evening Signs of Rain If the Sun be fiery Red at his Rising If he shew pale and wan If red and black Clouds be about him at his rising If his Rays look dark or blue If the Moon three or four Days after the Change is ●lunt at both Ends the thicker the more A Circle about the Moon If the great Stars be only seen and they look dim The Rain-bow appearing in a fair Day the greener it is the more Rain Birds washing themselves The Chattering of the Pye Peacocks and Ducks often crying The Owl crying Chiwit often Swallows flying low the working of the Insect call'd a Spinner Many Worms appearing above Ground The B●ast eating greedily and

Natures we have mentioned before and whose Influences we shall by and by give you a farther Account of These Planets have also their several Motions as Direct is a Planets moving in its natural Course which is forward Retrograde is their moving backward contrary to their direct Motion Combust is their being under the Sun-beams or within eight Degrees of him Oriental is when a Planet riseth before the Sun Occidental after him Latitude of the Earth is the distance or breadth on either side of the Equinox towards the Poles and they that are under the Equinox have no Latitude but the Poles of the World are in their Horizon this is a right Sphere and every sixty Miles directly North or South are said to make one Degree or Latitude and the heigth of either Pole above the Horizon is answerable to the degree of Latitude in an Oblique Sphere as London is counted to be in Latitude of fifty one Degrees thirty two Minuits the Pole there being elevated as much The like is to be observed in any other place or Region Longitude of the Earth is the out-side thereof extended from West to East crossing the Latitude at right Angles the beginning thereof according to some Astronomers is the Canary Isles so going Eastward quite round the World unto the same place again which is three hundred and sixty degrees and under the Equinoctial is reputed to be two Millions one Thousand six Hundred Miles re●koning sixty Miles to a degree but the farther off the Equinoctial the fewer Miles are in a degree for at London about thirty seven make a degree of Longitude so these degrees grows less and less until they all meet in the Latitude of Ninety that is under the Poles Parallels are Lines straight or circular equally distant from each other as the Equinox Tropicks and Degrees of Latitude c. Climate or Clime is such a space of Earth comprehended between two Parellels in which space there is half an Hour's difference in the Sun-dials and length of the Days Antipodes are those whose Feet are directly against ours as if a Line were drawn from one through the Center of the Earth to the other And this shall suffice as to the Explanation of things which I have done as briefly as I could for the Advantage of the Reader to whom possibly these things so necessary to be known may have hitherto been concealed XIV Of the Sun's Revolution through the Twelve Signs of the Zodiack with an Astrological Judgment of those that shall be born when the Sun is in any of those Signs THo' there be seven Planets as we have before shewed yet the Sun and Moon being the two great Luminaries of the World have greater Influence upon our Bodies than all the rest and the Sun shining by his own Light and being the Fountain both of Light and Life has greater Power than the Moon and his Influence is more in any of the twelve Houses I shall therefore here because I affect Brevity give the Reader an Astrological Judgment of the Sun's Power and Influence being in any of the twelve Houses After I have first acquainted my Reader what a House is and signifies in Astrology A House is a certain Space in the Firmament which is parted or separated by several Degrees by which the Planets have their Motion Metaphorically called Houses for as in a House there be many Mansions so every Planet has a peculiar or proper place in the Firmament by which it moves and in which it is resident containing thirty Degrees by which one House is differenced from another and these are placed by Astrologers in the following order The Sun being in Aries Makes the Person born under it of a froward and peevish Disposition quickly angry but as soon pleas'd given to study and very Eloquent but proud lying and luxurious promising all things but performing nothing not beloved among his Kindred and obnoxious to danger from his Enemies he shall be in danger of receiving harm from four-footed Beasts as being thrown from a Horse and the like so that he ought to avoid all Hawking Hunting and other Exercises to be performed on Horseback which are like to be fatal to him But in other things he may be more fortunate If the Person born be a Female tho' she may be fair and fruitful in Children yet she will be given to lying and of so bad a Temper and Disposition that her Husband will live but uneasily with her Note this also That those born in the Day-time the Sun being in Aries will be fortunate and happy but those that are born in the Night will be unfortunate and come to disgrace The Sun being in Taurus Makes the Native bold and fortunate in attempting hard and difficult Affairs it shews him also victorious over his Enemies and a great Traveller but banish'd from his native Country It also shews one servile familiar and angry but in his old Age only for in his Youth he shall obtain Riches by Marriage which shall make him better humour'd But when Age comes it brings Sickness with it and that makes Men peevish It makes Females wanton yet painful and obedient but full of tittletattel it also shews 'em inclin'd to Whoredom which will wear off by degrees She shall have many Husbands and divers Children The Sun being in Gemini Denotes a fair Child also one that is wise liberal merciful also a Boaster and and one that runs up and down without any regard to his Business whereby he shall obtain but little Riches of his own but shall be of that Fidelity and Truth that he shall have the command of the Publick Treasure It also denotes one to be of a complaisant Behaviour a good Understanding and acceptable to those with whom he shall have to do It shews him also to be well vers'd in the Mathematical Sciences and Arithmetick and that he shall be in great danger about twenty three Years of Age either to be hurt by Fire or bitten by a mad Dog The Sun being in Cancer Shews a Person to be of a good wit humility and wisdom but one inclin'd to Pleasure and the love of Women It also shews one attempting many things and especially on the Seas and thereby often in danger and vexed with many Incommodities and with much Poverty and Misery and that tho' he may get much yet he shall be never the richer he shall dig for Treasure and find that which he looked not for But if it be a Maid she shall be witty shamefac'd civil wise diligent nimble and beautiful soon pleased yet deceitful and crafty saying one thing and doing another subject to many Dangers by Water by falling by Child-bearing and the Chollick And after the Age of twenty six whether the Native be Male or Female it promiseth good success It denotes also a Person to be painful faithful acquainted with great Men and fortunate in Husbandry The Sun being in Leo Denotes a Man proud and arrogant bold

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.

Explanation Its use is to find what Planet rules any Hour of the Day every Day in the Week For Example I desire to know what Planet rules on Wednesday at seven a Clock at Night under the Tilts of Wednesday I look for 19 which answers to seven a clock at night for the Natural Day consisting of 24 hours begins after Midnight so that from 12 at noon you begin to reckon 13 14 15 c. you will find that the 19th hour from Midnight answers to seven a clock at night over against which you will find ☉ which shews that to be the hour of the Sun And if you would know what Planet rules at seven in the morning that Day you will find against 7 ♀ which shews that Venus rules that hour and so of any other hour in any Day But I shall now come to speak of the Significations of the Planetary Hours of each Planet and what it portends to those that are born in them The Hour of Saturn is strong and is good to do all things that require strength such as fighting or bearing of burdens or the like But for other things it is very evil He that is born in the hour of Saturn is slow dull and melancholly of a dogged temper and disposition black and swarthy of complexion he is quarrelsome wrathful and very malicious The Hour of Jupiter is in all things good and denotes Peace Love and Concord He that is born in the hour of Jupiter is of a ruddy and sanguine Complexion fair Hair well proportion'd Body and of a lovely Countenance his Face rather broad than long well-spoken and courteous and of a very affable Carriage Sober Just and Religious The Hour of Mars is evil and denotes the Person born in it to be of a hot chollerick Constitution of a robust strong Body soon angry and hard to be reconcil'd his face red and his eyes sparkling and fiery Much addicted to fighting and ready to quarrel with every Man he meets which oftentimes brings him to an untimely end The Hour of the Sun signifies great strength and is very fortunate for Kings and Princes He that is born in this hour hath sharp eyes brown hair and a round face and denotes one that is a great Projecter aims at high things but is often disappointed and seldom brings his Designs to pass The Hour of Venus is very propitious and fortunate but it is better by night than day especially Mid-day for then the Sun covers it He that is born in this hour hath fair hair soft eyes a little forehead and round beard very complaisant in his carriage mighty amorous and a great Admirer of Women much addicted to singing and gaming and spends his Mony in courting and treating of the Female Sex The Hour of Mercury is very good but chiefly from the beginning to the middle He that is born in th●s hour has a stature inclining to tallness a sharp long face long eyes and a long nose his forehead narrow l●ng beard and thin hair long arms and l●ng fingers of a good disposition and an obliging temper much given to reading and very desi●ous of Knowledge delighting to be among Books Very eloquent in his speech and yet addicted to lying and if he be poor he is commonly light finger'd The Hour of the Moon is both good and evil according to the Day For from the four●h to the 17th it is good to those that are born under it but from the 17th to the 20th it is counted unfortunate to be born under it and from the 20th to the 27th very unhappy He that is born in the hour of the Moon especially upon her own Day shall be pale fac'd of a thin meager visage with hollow eyes and of a middle statu●e He appears very courteous and obliging but is very crafty and deceitful se●●ing about many things but so incon●●aut and variable in his humour that he is presently off them again and setting about something else insomuch that what he c●ies up one bour he shall as much cry down again the next He is also very malicious and will never forget an affront once offer'd him His Constitution is Phlegmatick Thus have I given the Reader the Judgment of the Ancients upon the Planetary Hours and what they portend to those that are born under them by which a Person comparing himself with what is here se● down may easily know under what Planet he was born XVIII Of the Signification of the Seven Planets with respect to Man's Body BEfore I conclude my Discourse of the Seven Planets their Nature and Influences I shall give you an Ac●ount of the Signification of them as they respect the several Parts of Man's Body and the Diseases that they govern that proper Remedies may be apply'd accordingly Saturn governs the right Ear the Bladder and the Bones and the Diseases he governs are Quartan Agues Cancers Black Choller Rhumes Coughs Palsies Loosness of the Body c. Jupiter governs the Lungs Ribs Liver Seeds Arteries and the left Ear and the Diseases incident to them are Pleurisies Appoplexes and such as proceed from too great a quantity of Blood or from Wind in any part of the Body Mars governs the Gall the Veins and the Reins and their Distempers which are Fevers Yellow-jaundice Madness Choller Carbuncles Mars also governs the Stones and Privy-members of Man and Woman in part The Sun governs the Eyes Heart and the right Side and the Diseases relating to them such as Colds especially in the Stomack and Liver Fluxes in the Eyes Cramp Head-ach c. Venus governs the Liver Loins Matrix Paps and Throat the Diseases whereof are weakness in the Body and Members Catarrhs French-pox c. Mercury governs the Brains Thoughts Memory Speech and Tongue and also the Distempers incident thereto as Falling-sickness Madness Coughs Hoarsness Stammering Pthisick and Rheumes The Moon governs the left Eye of a Man and the right Eye of a Woman also the Stomach Belly and the left Side and the Diseases proper to them which are Dropsies Palsies Rotten Coughs Surfeits Worms in Children King 's Evil Falling-sickness Convulsion-fits Dimness of Sight Small-pox and Measles Here note That in all Distempers before you apply any thing to the Patient it is proper and necessary to consult the Motions and Positions of the Planets and when by the Table of Planetary Hours before recited you know what Planet rules you must in the next place consider the nature of that Planet as whether it be fierce and cruel as Mars or friendly and benevolent as Jupiter also whether it be cold and moist or hot and dry and what is the predominant Complexion whether Sanguine Chollar Flegm or Melancholly as also what Member of the Body it governs and what Disease is under its Power these things being diligently ●eigh'd and consider'd will furnish the Ingenious Physician with ground sufficient to make a Judgment of the true Nature of the Disease whereby he may apply those Suitable
