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
