Which are all the Co●l●stial Aspects from whence not omitting the Conjunc●ion all variations of the general Coelestial Influences do happen And these Aspects do perfectly agree with all the parts of the Number 12. which are 1.2.3.4.5.6 whereof 1. is referred to Union or Conjunction 2. the 6. part of 12. to the Sextile Aspect 3. the 4 part thereof to the Quartile and 4. the third part to ●he Trine and 6. the middle part to the Opposition And as there are not more Aspects in the Circle so in th● Number 12 not more parts For indeed all 〈◊〉 made by God in Number Weight and M●a●●r● Thus much premised I say that the Life of Man consis●s of 4 Ages Child-hood Youth Man-hood and Old-age And that in Man there are 4. different things obs●rvable unto which all the other be reduced as it were to their first beginnings Namely Life Action Marriage and Passion And these agree with the Beginning or Rise Vigour Declination and End or D●ath which four were before insinuat●● generally agreeable to all the effects of Nature For Man is said to Rise into the World when first he enjoys a Worldly Life To be strong in Action when he acteth or reduceth his vigour of doing into Action To decline so soon as a plentiful dissipation of his innate heat and radical moisture beginneth as at the time of Marriage And from Man-hood the best time of Marriag● he declineth toward Old-age and at length Dyes when he sustains the last Passion of Life Therefore Man's Life Action Marriage and Passion belong to the same Coelestial Principles as do the Birth Vigour Declination and Death of all other things in the World viz. Life to the East Action to the Mid-heaven Marriage to the W●st-angle and Passion to the Angle of the Earth Whence do arise 4. Triplicities of the same generical nature and 12. Houses as aforesaid The First Triplicity is of the Angle of the East which they name the First house and belongeth to Child-hood called the Triplicity of Being and Life The other houses of this Triplicity are the Ninth and Fifth both which do behold the first hous● by a Partile Trine Aspect in the Aequator wh●re is made this rational Division of the hou●●s For Man liveth in a three-fold respect in himself in God and in his Posterity But the First Life is onely given a M●n for th●●●auses viz. That he might Worship G●d and beg●t his own likeness Which is the compl●at intention of God in the production of Man 1. Now as touching the Life of Man in it self because it is the first of all other things in the Order of Nature and without it the rest co●●d not be therefore it justly chall●ngeth the princip●l House of this Triplicity viz. The Angle of the East 2. Life in God the second in order exists in the house of Religion viz. the Ninth subsequent to the First house in this Triplicity according to the Motion of the Aequator 3. And lastly Life in his Posterity bestowed on the house of Children which is the fifth Wherefore this whole Triplicity concerneth Life But herein one thing is very remarkable viz. That by the motion of the Aequator the measure of Time there is made an immediate ingress from the 9. house into the 8. which is the house of Temporary Death whereby man is to understand That he must live to himself in God until his Temporal Death so that betwixt this and the Life in God no part of time intercedeth The second is the Triplicity of the Angle of the mid-heaven which they name the 10. house and appertaineth unto youth This is also called the Triplicity of Action and of Gain or worldly goods flowing thence because every thing working Physically worketh for some Physical good For as by the Motion of the Equator progress is made from the Angle of the East to the Angle of the mid-heaven so is there a progress made from Child-hood unto youth and from Being or Life to Action The two other houses of this Triplicity are the 6. and 2. But Gain or the Physicall good arising to man from his Actions is threefold 1. The first in order of dignity is Immaterial as are Arts Magistracy Dignities and honours unto which a man is raised as also Power and Majesty wherefore it hath the principal house of this Triplicity viz. The Angle of the mid-heaven 2. The second is Material and Animated as are subjects servants and all other living creatures and i● placed in the 6. house according to the Motion of the Equator in the subsequent Triplicity 3. The last is Materiall-inanimated as are gold silver house-hold-stuff and even all other Immoveable Goods gotten by our own labour which are attributed to the second house under the name of Riches Therefore this whole Triplicity is of Action and Gain thence arising The third is the Triplicity of the West Angle named the 7. House and belonging to man-hood This is called the Triplicity of Marriage or Love For as by the Motion of the Equator progress is made from the Angle of the Mid-heaven to the West Angle even so there is a progress from youth to Man-hood and from famous deeds to Marriages and friendships of men which thence are purchased The two other houses of this Triplicity are the 3. and 11. But a man is joyned to another in a threefold respect 1. The first Conjunction in order of dignity is that of the body which we call Matrimony and therefore the principal house of this Triplicity viz. the West Angle is thereunto dedicated 2. The second is that of Blood which constitutes Brethren and Kindred in the Third House accord-to the Motion of the Equator in this following Triplicity 3. The last is that of simple Benevolence or favour whence do arise friends in the 11. house Therefore this whole Triplicity is of Marriage and Love The fourth Triplicity is that of the dark angle in the middle of night or bottom of heaven called the fourth house and ●he Cave or Den of the Planets attributed to old-age and termed the Triplicity of Passion Affliction and Death whereunto every man is subject for the sin of Adam The two other hous●s of this Triplicity are the 12. and the 8. 1. But the first Affliction of Man in the order of nature is a sorrowful ●xp●ctation of the Natural Dea●h of his Par●nts or ra●her speaking Cabalistically it is that stain of Original Sin which our Par●nts imprint in us and through which we are from our very Bir●hs made obnoxious to every misery and at l●ng●h to death it self And therefore the Parents and their Condition during the life of the Native as also D●●th and heritages left by them to the Native do 〈◊〉 the principal house of this Triplicity viz. The A●gle of the fourth house 2. The second 〈◊〉 consi●t● in the hatred deceipts Machinations Tr●ach●●●u●ness and Injuries of Enemies especially secr●t ones So likewise in Prisons Servitude Poverty and all other

were miraculously poured down on the Apostles V. The Fifth was the Feast of Trumpets which is called by the Hebrews Sichron The●uah for that on the First day of the Seventh Month Ecclesiastical or first Political the sound and noise of Trumpets or Cornets were every where heard by Commandment of God as in Levit. 23. Mense septimo primâ die mensis ●rit vobis sabbathum memoriale clangentibus tubis vocabitis Sanctum omne opus servile non facietis in eo For the cause of this some of the Jewish Rabbins do believe it was Ordained in memory of Isaac's deliverance from being sacrificed and that God commanded a noise should be then made by the Trumpet or Horn of a Ram for that a Ram was caught by the Horn in a Bush and sacrificed in his stead Gen. 22. Others think it very unlikely that so publique and solemn a Feast should be Instituted for the deliverance of a single Person but rather to commemorate those grievous Wars which the Israelites undertook First against the Amalekites and afterwards against the Ethnicks and to the end they might be admonished that this human life of ours is nothing but a perpetual Warfare upon Earth Others otherwise conjecture but their Fancies are too large for my Limits VI. Next to this in the same Month and on the Tenth day thereof was the Feast of Expiation celebrated as you may read it Commanded Levit. 16. In which annual solemnity an universal Expiatoric or propitiatory Sacrifice was perform'd for the sins of the People Whereby the whole passion and Fruits of our Saviours Death were yearly shadowed out to the Life by the whole Church Howbeit the Jews say it was Instituted in memory of Gods favour to them in forgiving their sin of Idolatry committed by their making of the Calf in the desart VII The Feast of Tabernacles called by the Hebrews Chag Hasuke and celebrated next after the two former viz. From the Fifteenth of Thisri to the Twenty First day inclusively that is for Seven days together yet so as that the First day was more Solemn and Festivous than the rest as may be seen in Leviticus Chap. 23. The end of which Feast you have there likewise in these words Ut discant posteri vestri quod in tabernaculis habitare fecerim filios Israel cum educerem eos de Terrâ Egypti And during this ●east the Israelites lived abroad in T●bernacles in remembrance that their Fathers a long time so lived after God had deliver'd them out of the Land of Egypt VIII Next to this did immediately follow the Feast of the Congregation or great and solemn Assembly celebrated the Twenty Second day of the Month Thisri and called by the Hebrews Hatisiph also Azereth that is an Assembly on Collection Or a Retention and Prohibition because that when the Seven days of the Feast of Tabernacl●● were expired the People restrained it one day longer Or because upon that day they were prohibited the doing of any work Or because the People were restrained to contribute Mony for the use of the Sacrifices Or because it shadowed out a Collection of all Nations or a gathering together of the elect in the Kingdom of Heaven or lastly from the Collection of Fruits for that on this day were offer'd the Primitiae of the Serotine Fruits and that thanks were therefore given unto God Howbeit it was as an Appendix to the Feast of Tabernacles as may be seen in L●viticus 23. and Numb 29. But here note that Jeroboam who revolted from Rehoboam the Son of Solomon with the Ten Tribes commanded the precedent solemnity of Tabernacles which the Jews were commanded by God in the ●aw to celebrate in the Seventh Month Thisri to be kept in the Eighth Marhesuan That so by little and little he might wean the Sons of Israel from the rights and customs of their Fathers as in 1 Kings 12. IX The next instituted by God was the Septennial Sabbath or Sabbathical year which took beginning from the Tenth day of the Seventh Month. For as the Jews every Seventh day so their Land every Seventh year kept a Sabbath The Observation whereof consisted in these two things especially That 1. The grounds should lye untill'd 2. Debts should be remitted And therefore Moses Deut. 15. called this year the year of Shemita that is of dismission because that both Agriculture or Tillage and Debts were this year Commanded by God to be forborn and remitted Exodus 23. The causes of this Feast were partly Civil partly Mystical 1. To teach them not by continual Ex●rcise to suck out the Earth and make it barren for that as all other Creatures so likewise the Earth hath need of intermission and rest 2. To teach them Gratitude and Mercy Gratitude to God for the Fruits of the Earth Mercy to the Poor whereof is had a principal regard in this Law 3. To mind them of Adams first estate wherein only the voluntary Fruits of the Earth were fed upon 4. To shadow unto them an Eternal Sabbath that is a Blessed life in which all the Labours and Miseries of the present together with the exactions of Creditors shall have an end and the sins of Believers be remitted X. The Tenth and last of the Feasts instituted by God is the year of Jubile that is a year of Rejoycing or of Remission celebrated every Fiftieth year for so 't is Commanded Levit. 25. Numerabit tibi septem Hebdomadas Annorum that is Seven times Seven which makes Forty-Nine years Therefore the year following this was the Fiftieth and wholly Sabbathical whence if you account Exclusively to another year of Jubile you have only Forty Nine years and so 't is number'd in the Eighth verse of the last cited Chapter of Leviticus but if inclusively that is if you account both the former and the latter you shall have Fifty years and so 't is reckoned Verse 10. of the same Chapter which manner of account is most used by us at this day For thus a week is said to have Eight days counting both the Sundays But one of them excluded there remaineth but a true week or a Seven-night In this year not only the Bondmen of Israel were by Gods command set free from their Masters and the Prison doors thrown open but all Debts were likewise remitted and the Grounds Vineyards Houses and other Possessions return'd to their first owners For it was not permitted any man to sell his Grounds or Houses to another by a perpetual contract but only the use and Fruits thereof till the year of Jubile For so God Commandeth Levit. 25. Sanctificabitis Annum Quinquagesimum vocabitis remissionem in Terra cuncta habitatoribus terrae vestrae ipse ●st enim Jubilaeus vobis Revertetur quisque ad possessionem suam unusquisque redibit ●d familiam suam quae Jubilaeus est quinquagesimus Annus erit vobis c. The end of which is as likewise was the former partly Civil and partly Mystical 1. For
