ADd to the day of the Month the Epact and so many days more as are Moneths from March to the Moneth you are in including both Moneths and if they amount not to thirty that Sum shall be the Age of the Moon but if your number exceed thirty deduct thirty and what remains is the Moons Age. This is to be understood when the Moneth hath one and thirty days but if the Moneth hath but thirty days you must substract but twenty nine and the rest is the Age a foresaid For in those Moneths that have thirty-one days the New Moon or Conjunction is the thirtieth day of her Age and those Moneths that have but thirty days the New Moon falls on the twenty ninth day of her Age. Take an Example to make this plain Suppose I would know the Age of the Moon January the First 1675. current Now considering that the Epact changeth not till March I add the Epact of the foregoing year which is three and the day of the moneth one their sum is four and January being the eleventh Moneth accounted from March being also added amounts to fifteen which is the true Age of the Moon the said First day of January 1675. Et sic in aliis THe Number of the days in each Moneth are briefly summed up in these following Verses Thirty Days hath September April June and November February hath twenty-eight alone And all the rest have thirty one Note That in leap-Leap-year which happens once in four years February hath twenty nine days By this preceding Almanack you may finde the day of the Moneth as also the moveable and immoveable Feasts for twenty years to come It s use is plain and obvious to a mean capacity and the day of the Moneth found by it as in other Almanacks knowing but the Dominical Letter Vulgar Notes and Observations to know when the Moon rises or sets c. 1. AT the New-Moon she riseth and setteth with the Sun 2. At the Full-Moon she rises when the Sun sets and sets when the Sun rises 3. At the beginning of the Increase she rises after Sun rising and sets after Sun set 4. At the beginning of the Decrease she rises a little after Sun-set and sets a little before his rising 5. In the first Quadrat of her Increase she rises about Noon or Mid-day and sets about Mid-night 6. In the Second Quadrat of her Decrease she rises at Mid-night and sets about Noon or Mid-day And hence may be computed near enough for common use the intermediate times of the Moons rising every day slower by one hour and about a fifth part viz. twelve minutes The Four Terms are as followeth HIllary Term begins January the twenty third and ends February the twelfth Easter Term begins Seventeen days after Easter-day and ends the Munday before Whit-sunday Trinity Term begins next Friday after Trinity Sunday which is always the next after Whit sunday and ends on Wednesday nineteen days after Michaelmas Term begins on twenty third of October and end November the twenty eighth following FINIS

then also even so it is in the weather if she be not impedited The seventh Rule is Of the Transits of the Planets which by no means must be neglected That is when either of the two Planets that did aspect one another comes first to that point of the Zodiack where the other Planet was whom he did aspect in Sextile or Trine or Quadrat or when he passeth along the point himself was in But in Conjunctions or Oppositions when he also cometh to the Square of that degree wherein the Conjunction or Opposition was It may be admitted for a transit also when an aspect falleth upon the place of another Planet which he had in the time of a great Conjunction or at the first appearance of a Comet or in the time of a great Eclipse or when an aspect falleth upon the same degree where other Planets did not long ago aspect each other For an example of the first sort of Transits Saturn in the Lion did oppose Jupiter in the Skinker and did first raise up a South-west wind and then a mighty cold aire afterwards in the year 1669 Saturn transiting the place of Jupiter in the Skinker in that threefold Opposition did raise up the same sort of winds which did continue all that year for the most part yea and did stir up the same sort of diseases that he had formerly occasioned at the threefold Opposition It is therefore fitting to review the Aspects of preceding years if we would truly know the state of succeeding times and to this purpose an old Ephemerides is useful for some years after they be expired Jupiter in the Twins aspected by Mars in the Ram not only in the time of the aspect did they shew their natures but also when Mars came to the place which Jupiter had in the aspect it thundered The like in the Trine of Mars in the Ram and the Sun in the Lion it thundereth if not damped by cold mixtures when Mars first comes to that degree where the Sun was in the Lion the thunder is re-excited though more faintly and the same effect followeth when the Sun first comeeth to the degree Mars was posited in at that Trigon the which is little minded by our raw Astrologers An Example of the Second sort The Sun and Mars united in the same degree of the Crab which was Saturns place at the eclipsing of the Sun in the Ram in the year 1652. which did occasion a thundering and showery season The Eighth Rule is To consider the Sign which sympathizeth with the Country in particular Which of necessity must be looked into For an Aspect will operate in the Country which is subject to the Sign wherein it is celebrated many times more powerfully than in Countries agreeable to other Signs Some Countries are subject to the firy Triplicity England to the Ram Italy to the Lion Spain to the Archer Some to the watery Triplicity as Scotland and Holland to the Crab Norway to the Scorpion Some to the Airy as Austria to the Balance Tartary to the Skinker Some to the earthy as Ireland to the Bull. Thus the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter or of the Sun and Venus in the Crab giveth abundance of rain in Scotland whereas in the South of England they are but few if some Aspect in the fiery Triplicity do not increase them The Aspects may shed forth their influence in all Countries after some measure but they work most potently in Countries subject to the signes wherein the Aspect is made And to go no further for the proof of this than the year 1669 when the Conjunctions of Mars and Venus and of the Sun and Venus came to pass in the Crab the which did abundantly moisten North-Britain though they were not so operative in Englands South parts and when Jupiter the same year came to the Crab these Aspects were again irritated by Sextiles with Jupiter and the effects did follow in the North though the South was wonderfully dry After the like manner drought proceeding from an Eclipse of the Sun in the Ram is much more felt in Countries subject to the fiery Triplicity than in Countries related to the Crab or the watery Triplicity The Ninth Rule General causes are to be looked upon as Comets great Eclipses chiefly of the Sun the great Conjunctions of Saturn Jupiter Comets cause dry times for the most part and more particularly in dry Signs and their Countries as our days can witness by experience of the Comets in the year 1664. There was a great Eclipse of the Sun in the Ram and about that time a Comet to which also may be added Saturn in the Lion the which did occasion a dry Spring and Summer in England It hath been wondered at by many at the dry Summer and Harvest of the year 1669. But if they do consider the Eclipse of the Sun in the dry and earthy Sign of the Bull and although it was not visible in our Horizon yet in matters of the weather it worketh all over for the fabrick of this world is like a Musical instrument well tuned of the which if a string be touched at one end it will quiver all along to the farther end And in the Bull and the Twins the Comet of the year 1664 did move and Saturn in the Skinker looking on the Bull with a Square and on the Twins with a Trine Aspect and in Opposition to the Lion where he was in the time of drought in the years 1652 and 1653. And likewise the Sign wherein Mars was in the time of the great Conjunction in the year 1663. he may then wonder the less However it is most true that God sendeth extraordinary droughts to punish sinners as in the days of Elijah for the space of three years and an half it did not rain upon the land of Israel And God causeth it to rain upon one City and not upon another The Tenth Rule Observe the Nature of the most eminent fixed Stars in or near the Zodiack when the Planets are in Conjunction with them As when the Sun is joyned to Sirius or the Dog-star of a fiery nature the air is hotter than at other seasons of the year if doubled or redoubled mixtures of other Planets do not contradict So the Pleiades or the cluster of Seven-stars are accounted moist if Venus be aspected when she cometh to them so Hyades and so of others The Eleventh Rule The Season of the year must be looked upon For the influence of a cold rain in Summer is snow in Winter and snow or sleet in the Spring Warm Configurations if they be moist are for rain both Summer and Winter Anniversary winds or rains which do come once a year as in the moneth of March it raineth about Rome the winds called the Etesii do usually blow Moreover take especial notice of this that prediction for every days weather in an Almanack is absurd for an Aspect of rain except it be very potent is not at
