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.

Aft. noon From 38 min. past noon until 15 min. past 1. 0 38 Concerning Numbers attributed unto the seven Planets with the Reasons thereof agreeing with Cornelius Agrippa an excellent Philosopher besides my own daily practice and experiencè Saturn Numbers attributed to the plan TO this Planet ♄ belongeth three numbers viz. two seven nine The number two as being next beneath the starry firmament and also as being one of the two infortunes the number seven as being the seventh in order and highest from the earth It s also a number fatal and climacterical as joyned with the number nine Also the number nine is a number fatal and climacterical as joyned with the number seven For nine times 7 makes 63 which number all philosophers do hold to be fatal and climacterical by reason the nines and the sevens do meet 2 7 9 Jupiter   Jupiter hath three numbers allotted unto him viz. one three eight The number one as being the head and chief fortune the number three as being the the third star or planet in order from the starry firmament beneath Saturn also as being one of the three fortunes The number eight as containing the mistery of Justice and Religion for Jupiter in astrology doth always represent the sober Priest or Minister according unto which number Christ was circumcised also we read of eight degrees of blessedness c. 1 3 8 Mars   Mars hath four numbers alloted unto him viz. two four seven nine The number two as being one of the two infortunes The number four as being the fourth in number from the starry firmament next unto Jupiter The number seven as being a number fatal and climacterical as joyned with nine Also he hath the number nine as being a number fatal and climacterical as joyned with seven This planet as likewise Saturn are both enemies unto Nature 2 4 7 8 Sol.   The Sun hath five several numbers alloted unto him viz. one three four seven ten twelve The number one as being sole Monarch of the Heavens The number three as being

twelve signs of the Zodiack 1 3 4 10 12 Venus   Venus hath three numbers alloted unto her viz. two three nine The number two as being female The number three as being one of the three fortunes The number six as being the number of generation consisting of two threes 2 3 6 Mercury   This Planet Mercury hath two numbers alloted unto him viz. two five The number two as being part male and part

number two as being female The number six as being the number of generation The number nine as being the utmost receptacle of all coelestial influences 2 6 9 The Astrological way whereby to discover all kinds of Diseases or Infirmities incident unto the body of Man And likewise how to know whether the Sick shall live or die also the time when either Recovery or Death may be expected with the true Astrological way of curing each Disease which is cureable as followeth IN the first place before we come to set forth the Method of cure it will be necessary to find what the grief is and from what cause without which its impossible to do any great cures There are two wayes by which Judgment may be given herein The one Astrologically by a Figure of twelve Houses which is accounted to be the most assured and exactest way the other is by the Moon according as she is afflicted by the malevolent Planets having regard to the signs or constellations wherein she was afflicted at the time of decumbiture This way may serve generally in acute diseases and I do find by my daily practice that one shall seldom err herein but in case of such Diseases which are natural from the birth or have been of very long standing or more especicially if there be any suspition of Witchcraft a Figure of twelve houses is most rational I shall briefly shew the way of both But in regard a Figure of twelve Houses and the astrological way in giving judgement thereupon may seem difficult at the first especially unto those who have never formerly read or studied any whit in this Science And farther considering that many who are well willers hereunto either may want time or be unwilling to take the pains herein may neglect the study hereof and so this my writing may prove uselesse unto them I have for the satisfaction and incouragement of all well willers unto this study and practice of Physick set forth one general way in giving judgment either by the Moon afflicted in acute diseases which terminate in a month or by the Sun in Chronick diseases which are of above a months standing This being the very way of my own daily practice and experience for many years wherein you shall seldome or never fail especially in acute diseases as for other Chronick and long lasting griefs there will be more time allotted to consider of them The truth is long continued infirmities and some others doth require more inspection than that only of the Sun and Moon afflicted and therefore a figure of twelve houses will be proper to give judgement therein for many times the ascendant sixth and twelfth houses with their Lords will be concerned therein as shall be shewed in order Also it will be necessary after the grief is known to know the critical intercidental and judicial daies and times being the times for change either of life or death which is done by a critical figure divided into 16 equal parts as shall be shewed in the next paper The way to find the disease by the Sun and Moon afflicted In the first place by an Almanack take notice what sign the Moon is in when the Sick first takes their bed and by what planet or planets she is afflicted whether of Saturn or Mars or Mercury which is much of the nature of Saturn

Planets or by the Lord of the 12 8 or 4th argueth long and lasting griefs or infirmities if adhering unto a partil aspect the grief encreaseth if drawing from partil aspect the grief diminisheth Also fixt signs gives moneths and sometimes years before recovery common signs gives weeks and sometimes moneths moveable daies or weeks before recovery Now concerning the number of daies weeks moneths or years you must observe how many degrees is wanting before the influence is over accounting by the moity of their Orbs and so many moneths weeks daies or years it will be before recovery but if the figure sheweth death then you must account how many degrees is wanting to make the partil aspect of the principal Significators and so account so many daies weeks moneths or years before the time of death 2 The principal Significator of the Sick changing his sign argueth a change of the disease either for life or death 3 The latter degrees of a sign on the Cusp of the sixth House or the Significator of the Sick in the latter degrees of a sign argueth a sudden change either for life or death 4 The Lord of the Ascendant or principal significator of the sick person being stronger then the afflicting planets sheweth recovery in moveable signs the sooner but if the afflicting Planets be strong and the principal Significator of the sick weak more especially if the afflicting Planets hath relation unto the eighth or fourth Houses it sheweth death 5 If the Lord of the Ascendant or Lord of the sixth or if the ☽ in accute or Sun in Chronick griefs be afflicted in Azemine degrees it sheweth a continued sickness if not sudden death 6 If the Lord of the Ascendant or principal Significator of the sick turn retrograde it sheweth a relapse and the cure goes backward 7 The Lord of the Ascendant or principal Significator of the sick strong swift in motion with a fortune attending especially in a moveable sign sheweth a speedy recovery Lastly We must heed the nature of the disease for strong Fevers Convulsions Apoplexies risings in the Throat with some pestilential infirmities and such like desperate griefs will sooner terminate then such which are usually lasting as Consumptions Dropsies Agues Gouts and such like Some brief Rules concerning recovery First A fortune or the ☽ in accute or ☉ in Chronick griefs strong in the Ascendant and not afflicted nor yet being Lord of the sixth eighth or twelfth Houses sheweth recovery Secondly The Lord of the Ascendant strong and more strong then the afflicting Planets sheweth recovery Thirdly The Lord of the Ascendant or the ☽ in accute or ☉ in Chronick griefs ioyned unto or friendly aspected with a fortune or applying unto a fortune sheweth recovery Fourthly The ☽ encreasing in light swift in motion and strong applying unto a fortune in accute griefs sheweth recovery Fifthly If the Lord of the ascendant doth dispose of the afflicting Planet especially being equal in strength sheweth recovery Signs of Death First The Lord of the Ascendant weak and afflicted by the malevolent Planets and no fortune interposing sheweth death Secondly The Lord of the ascendant or the ☽ afflicted in the fourth or eighth or by the Lord of the eighth argueth death or if the Lord of the eighth be in the ascendant Thirdly The Lord of the ascendant combust in the ascendant fourth sixth eighth or twelfth or in the way called Via Combusta sheweth death Fourthly If the ☽ in accute or ☉ in Chronick griefs is ●●●●cted by the infortunes or by the Lord of the eighth or ●●ar●h no fortune interposing their friendly rays more especially if the Lord of the ascendant be weak it sheweth death Fifthly The ascendant or Lord of the ascendant or the ☽ in accute or the ☉ in Chronick griefs meeting with fixt stars of the nature of the infortunes no fortune interposing his friendly rays sheweth death Sixthly The ☽ applying unto combustion in the ascendant fourth sixth eighth or twelfth Houses or Via combusta sheweth death Seventhly The ☽ applying from the Lord of the ascendant to the Lord of the eighth and the Lord of the ascendant weak sheweth death Eighthly An eclipse of the ☽ in accute or of the Sun in Chronick griefs upon a critical day and the Lord of the ascendant weak no fortune strong interposing their friendly rays sheweth death generally in all decumbitures the nearer the afflicting Planets are to the earth the worst The bodily shape and infirmities attributed unto the Twelve Signs Aries ♈ signifieth one of a reasonable stature dry body strong limbs and big bones but not fat somewhat long face and
