such like or by inundations over-flowings of Water or too much abundance of Rain cold Frost or the like so that thereby there shall be such a scarcity and deerness of such things that many men shall dye for want of bread Of Jupiter when he is chief Ruler what he signifieth in general If Jupiter be chief Ruler he causeth generally an increase and plenty of all things and particularly to man he elevateth their condition to honour renown and plenty giveth health tranquillity peace and an increase of riches and goods and all things appertaining to the life of man in a natural way Increaseth the benefits and goods received from Princes or such as are in Authority and causeth also even these Grandees to be more Illustrious inlargeth their Territories and Dominions and abundantly augmenteth their Grandure generally Jupiter denotes success and happiness in every thing To Beasts belonging chiefly to the use of Man he signifieth an increase but such as are destructive and not profitable he destroyeth The ayr also he tempereth and maketh wholsome and sendeth convenient moisture in seasons requisite for the Production of the fruits of the Earth the which he multiplyeth and increaseth by his sweet influence The Sea also for Navigation shall be safe the floods of Rivers temperate c. Of the significations of Mars if he be chief Ruler If Mars be chief Lord of any Eclipse he generally threatneth mischief to all sorts and kinds of men which shall happen through extremity of drought and particularly he causeth much war intestine hatreds fewds quarrels and discords amongst men especially of that kinde of life viz souldiers he excites men also to many robberies spoilings sacking tyranny and rebellion he also causeth the wrath of Kings and Great men and troubles in general sudden death sicknesses and those chiefly tertian Agues or Feavers and those principally or more particularly to those of younger years or in their strength of youth much choler and anger amongst men of small repute they shall commit unlawful things and violate the Law many Combustions slaughters rapines thefts and robberies In the ayr he causeth extremity of heat and very warm windes also ligthning and little rain In the Sea destruction to ships and submersions suddenly by mixt winds lightning and such like In Rivers a scarcity of waters a drought of Fountains and detriment by drinking of waters which for the most part will be corrupted And in things appertaining to the life of Man viz. Beasts and Vegetables he shall cause a scarcity and destruction of the fruits of the Earth by reason they shall be scorched with extremity of heat or eaten with Locusts and Caterpillers or destroyed by winds or nipt in the bud Of Venus and her significations general But if Venus be chief Significatrix she denotes the same as doth Jupiter generally but together with it some Venereal sports and particularly to men she causeht honour fame joy fortunate success in every thing happy marriages abundance of children and felicity in all things belonging to Matrimony and an increase of riches and an unusual familiarity and correspondency between Princes and their Subjects and Familiars In the ayr winds but temperate bringing abundance of showers yet they very seasonable and convenient for the fructifying of the Earth a seasonable time according to the nature of the season In the Sea such Ships as Navigate shall be safe and prosperous In Rivers abundance of waters by reason of many showers Beasts Vegetables and such things as are for the use of man shall be plentiful Of Mercury and his significations when he is chief Ruler If Mercury be chief Ruler he signifieth such events generally as are of the nature of the Planet he is in Conjunction with and in Configuration for you have been taught in our second Book of this Volume that he participateth in Nature with the Planet in Conjunction or Configuration with him but properly in his own nature he furthers the natural signification of the other Particularly in men he excites expedition industry cunning and ingenuity in every thing In the Sea he causeth unfortunate Navigation when he is joined in judgement with the Infortunes as being in Configuration or Conjunction with them but if with the Fortunes judge the contrary with the Malevolents also he denotes many diseases and infirmities Quotidian Feavers Imposthumes Consumptions and Coughs Phthisis and dry diseases as touching matters of State Laws Customs and Priviledges he orders all according to the Planets and Stars in Configuration with him wherefore we see he being dry of constitution being so nere the Sun and of a swift motion and because he is often Retrograde he stirs up frequent turbulent and pernicious winds also thunder and lightning openings of the Earth and Earth-quakes and perhaps much damage thereby to Vegetables and Creatures for the use of Man I conceive Ptolomy might very well have left out perhaps also in the houres of his setting he causeth a diminution of Waters and Rivers in the houres of his rising an augmentation and thus much of the innate significations of the Planets Now when according to the variety of the Aspects and Signs they are mingled by being mutually behold of each other and their Position in respect of the Sun they thereby vary their effects or actions according to the variety of significations and judgements arising from their several Conjunctions and Configurations Wherefore since it is impossible to relate exactly unto thee all their Configurations and their commixtures or at least for that it would be so intricate a thing we shall refer it to the study and consideration of the Student for as I have said before unless thy Genius leadeth thee to the exact knowledge thereof the reading of all the Books in the World will no wise avail thee But we ought diligently to observe the nature of those Stars by which the events are signified and their affinity with those Regions where the effects are to be manifested thus If they be fortunes and have relation to the evil places where the events shall happen and no wise contradicted by other Stars they more effectually perform what events were afore promised but if they have no relation to those places or if they be gainsayed by malevolent Stars their good influence is by so much lessened and so thou mayest judge on the contrary And thus much of Eclipses according to Ptolomy Some lines towards the latter end of the eighth chapter of his aforesaid second Booke I have willingly omitted for that I do not in every word agree with him and therfore herein I shall desire to be excused as also if I have in any other places varied somewhat from him I know no reason why any man that standeth on his shoulders may not see farther then he truly I must really confess he hath merited much honour from his successors wherefore I shall esteem him as for his shortness so for his accurate and sufficient largeness and

they remain as yet by them unshaken and that they have no other refuge but barely to face it down with a bold and impudent forehead especially being in the former so shamefully bafled Wherefore now it resteth I snew you the full power and subject of Astrology and how far I maintain or allow of the Art and here desist referring you for further satisfaction to that discourse of mine which is able to justifie these my words since for all that the Replyers thereunto can say the Art remains still unshaken and it unanswered wherefore they had but small reason to title that weak piece Judicial Astrology Judicially condemned when alas there is hardly a judicious sentence to be found between the beginning and end thereof unless borrowed of some other Author neither are they or it able to shew their faces before the judicious and impartial Judges of the matter without suffering condign condemnation themselves CHAP. XX. Containing the power and subject of Astrology and how far the Author vindicateth it YOu are now to receive The power and subject of Astrology which by all what you have heard How the Author sets down the power and subject of Astrology dealeth with such things as are performed by Art and Nature with the will of man indirectly and accidentally and his inclinations temperature and dispositions as also with his affections and body and with natural and secondary causes and general accidents and contingencies But not with rare contingencies or such as have an indifferent respect to the opposites as depending upon unknown and indeterminate causes which may happen one way or other neither with mans will doth Astrology meddle but accidentally so far as the Soul with the faculties thereof follows the temperature of the body neither with the Providence of God or shew a cause of miracles or with the secrets of God for they are saith the Scripture past finding out Ergo Astrologers that are men that contemplate but natural causes are falsly and most scandalously abused when thus impeached neither hath the influence of the stars any fatality as inevitable except some contigency be mixed therewith for this were to deny the Providence of God How far the Author maintaineth or justifieth Astrology Now as touching the parts of Astrology I shall here according to Ptolomy in the beginning of his second Book of his Quadripartite chap. 1. divide into two the first and chief part being general as having relation to Countries Kingdoms Provinces and Cities alterations of Kingdoms Laws Customs death plenty wars peace health sickness and mutations in the Air c. The second particular viz. To mens Nativities as to know the particular constitution temperature and natural inclination of any man or woman but not other accidents as whether a man shall live long the time when he shall die and what manner of death whether he shall be rich and how attain it c. which are as also Horary questions depending thereon not certain The first is judged by the position of the Heavens and the Planets and their Natures and significations at the time of any Revolution of the yeers of the world the appearance of Eclipses Comets Blazing-stars or great Conjunctions The latter at the time of the parties birth and so far and no farther do I any wise allow of the Art for what is called Astrology more then this is not ASTROLOGY but the meer abuse of the Art I meand Charactery-Astrology and other superstitions of the Arabians and Chaldeans also horary questions and elections if not depending or grounded on the Radix of the parties Nativitie or rather on that part which teacheth of the general accidents of the world are neither countenanced or vidicated by me in the least for I have studied and know sufficiently the experience thereof neither do I wholly relie on the setting of any mans Nativity though it hath been approved of by some of the learned The Authors opinion touchiug Nativities fer since the stars have no power on such as are ruled either by Reason or Grace as you have heard where I say Astra agunt not cogunt are sapiens dominabitur astris to what end then is it for a man to busie his head about such uncertainties when except the native be a man meerly natural no Prediction shall fall out true as to accidents and disposition sure is worse then madness then to spend time on this part of the Art Touching Horary questions and Elections Wherefore it must needs follow then that the resolutions of questions and elections thereon depending are more uncertain yet I must confess the Astrologer may undertake in some sense to answer the demands of the Querent by his Art without regard to the Radix or ought else since he may be confidently assured that such inquirers are nowise either rational or religious and so consequently are easily carried on to the temptations and delusions of the devil or according to the natural inclination and influence of the Heavens Yet know that Elections touching the administration of Physicke Phlebotomy using of Husbandry and Navigation I do allow of as also all other elections if they depend on this matter but what is more then this doth in my opinion subject mans will to the power of the stars and all his voluntary actions which to affirm were most ridiculous Needs must he be most impious and ignorant that traduceth Astrology And thus far is the glory of God made cleerly manifest in his creatures and to deny this which is indeed the pure Art of Astrology is to deny the most heavenly and chiefest study next to Divinity under the Sun and also that which of all studies else most conduceth to the praise and glory of the omnipotent and omniscient creator for which they and all things else were first created and then consequently must the treducers thereof be most impious and ignorant Reader I shall here for conclusion say no more then this that thou first seek thy Creator and serve him before thou apply thy minde unto this subsequent or any other study for that so thou shalt be made the more excellent and perfect therein yet particularly as for this heavenly contemplation let me tell thee wert thou an Heathen before thou wert seen therein yet wilt thou cleerly be made thereby when thou art acquainted therewith to see thy Creator and his unspeakable wisdom therein * Ergo far from making men Athiests as some have affirmed except they believe a fatality which in this study is to be wholly denyed and by me ever was wherefore in all thy study give him the whole praise and glory who hath disposed and ordered all things according to his divine will and inevitable decree and that thou mayest be the better inabled thereunto thou shalt never want my prayers nor service Die ♄ 31.

method before any or all other Astrological Philosophers whatsoever and therefore as I have already said with him I shall conclude as touching this matter adding only this Chapter which I have collected out of of Junctinus that we may hasten to a conclusion of this Treatise CHAP. V. Of the Sun and Moon Eclipsed in any Decanate or Face of the twelve Celestial Signs DIvers rules have I before delivered unto thee which I collectedout of Junctinus wherefore now for conclusion of this point I thought good to give thee this Chapter out of him also the which he gathered from the writings of Proclus When there happens any Eclipse either of the Sun or Moon in Taurus Virgo or Capricorn it denotes a scarcity of the fruits of the Earth and Corn in Gemini Libra or Aquaries a Famin and outragious diseases Pestilencies and Mortalities in Cancer Scorpio or Pisces the death and slaughter of obscure common Plebean kinde of people continual quarrels and seditions and great damage to Navigators and such as converse in the Sea or Sea-affairs in Aries Leo or Sagittary I need say no more then this thas it is sufficiently declared in the handling the several Decanates of these Signs wherefore it will not be amiss if we also go through every sign of the whole Zodiack beginning at Aries that so thou mayest not be to seek upon any Eclipse of the Luminaries and first then of the Sun When the Sun is Eclipsed in any of the first ten degrees of Aries which you have heard is the first Decanate or Face thereof it portends the sudden and frequent motion of Armies continual expeditions assaults and batteries with many tumults seditions and controversies and an inclination of the ayr to intemperate heat and drought In the following Decanat or Face viz. from the tenth to the twentieth degree of Aries it denotes the Imprisonment trouble and sadness of some King and danger of death unto him a corruption of trees that are fruitful or of such fruits as are produced of Trees as also of the Earth In the last Decanate or Face viz. from the twentieth to the thirtieth or last degree of Aries he bringeth grief and sadness to mortals and the death of great women and a scarcity or diminution of Cattel viz. those of the lesser sort because it is signified by Aries An Eclipse of the Sun happening in the first Face of Taurus afflicteth Negotiators Agents and Solicitors destroyeth businesses and the Corn upon the Earth In the second Decanate or Face of Taurus incommodities to such as bear children and also to Travellers In the third Pestilence and Famine from whence we may collect the destruction of greater Cattel viz. Buls Oxen and Cows An Eclipse in the first Face of Gemini of the Sun causeth dissention amongst Priests of what Order soever they are inveterate hatred and seditions and a contempt of both the Law of God and Man is to be feared In the second thefts and robberies piracies and slaughters In the third the death of some King and various mischeifs to such Common-wealths as are under Gemini and the frustration of such Cities affairs and Negotiations Again an Eclipse of the Sun in the first Face of Cancer troubleth the ayr and causeth var●ous winds and alterations of weather In the second dryeth up Rivers and Fountains and causeth petulent and greivous mortalities In the third through Armenia and Africa and the rest of the Regions and Places subject to Cancer Hidropical diseases seditions and the disease of France Naples Spain England and indeed of all the World yet commonly called the French and Neopolitan disease or more plainly the French Pox. Also an Eclipse of the Sun in the first Decanate of Leo denotes the death of some eminent Prince and the scarcity of Bread-corn In the second troubles and anxieties to Kings Princes and Great men or Magistrates In the third captivities slaughters rapines and profanation of holy and sacred Houses I conceive he hereby meant Churches Monasteries and such like Moreover an Eclipse of the Sun in Virgo argues the grievous calamity and death of some certain King in the confines of Virgo In the second Famine Pestilence and deadly Seditions In the third to Pictures Poets and Merchants and such as live by their Ingenuity and wit slaughters destruction banishment and the like If an Eclipse of the Sun be in the first Face of Libra it corrupteth the Ayr causeth the Pestilence and a scarcity and dearness of Corn In the second portendeth the death of some Great King under the Dominion of Libra Seditions and Famine In the third discords amongst Great ones and detriment in their estates Also if an Eclipse be in the first Face of Scorpio it moveth and stirreth up Wars and tumults slaughter hatred captivities plots and treacheries In the second mischief to some King whose minde is averse to war In the third the rise of some tyrant the slothfulness and idleness of the former King hateful to every one In the first Face or Decanate of Sagittary if an Eclipse of the Sun be it shews grievous dissentions and deadly fewds amongst men In the second the death of Camels and such Cattel as chew the cud especially the greater sort and such like In the third prejudice to Horses and Armies Again an Eclipse of the Sun in the first Decanate of Capricorn it denotes unhappiness and chances to Great men the transmigration of some King and the Rebellion of the Nobles and rusticks In the second hired souldiers are excited and animated against their Commanders and Superiours and frustrateth all their devices In the third it induceth the tumultuary motion of the King and causeth Famine Moreover an Eclipse of the Sun in the first Face of Aquaries causeth publique sorrow and sadness In the second publique thefts rapines and roberies Earth-quakes and Famine In the third the death and slaughter of sheep and beasts of the field Lastly an Eclipse of the Sun in the first Face of Pisces drieth up Rivers and unfortunateth the Sea and the affairs thereof In the second the death of famous and excellent men destruction of Fish Earth-quakes c. In the third sedition cruelty furiousness and inhumanity of souldiers The Moon eclipsed in the first Face of Aries An Eclipse of the Moon now in every Decanate is to be considered since we have done with the Sun wherefore when the Moon is Eclipsed in the first Decanate of Aries she denotes Feavers destruction of Woods by fire and a siccity and dryness of the ayr In the second Pestilence In the third Abortive births incommodities and such like dangers to women An Eclipse of the Moon in the first decanate of Taurus denotes destruction and death to great Cattel In the second the death of the Queen of some Region under Taurus and a scarcity of seeds and barrenness of the Earth In the third she shews cruelty on Serpents and such like Also an Eclipse of the Moon in the first

middle but about the edges more rare those resembling beards have their extreams more rare and dispersed and those that are much extended in length are more rare and subtil The distinct significations of every Comet or Blazing Star The Antients have delivered moreover these nine following several Comets or Blazing-Stars and their virtues or Portences which I could no wise omit being so necessary to Instruction The first then is call●● Veru for that it resembleth a spit or dart and appeareth in the day time very terrible to the beholders It denotes a scarcity of fruit both of the Earth and trees mutations in Church and State grievous slaughters and the death of Kings Nobles and such as are of their adherence The second Tenaculum of the colour of Mars and hath raies under it like the flames of burning coals it signifieth there shall not be such plenty as formerly yet not famine wars also are thereby stirred up to the great prejudice of the godlier sort of people who shall be very forward therein The third Pertica which sometimes emitts obscure raies and again at other times bright this denotes a drought both of the Earth and Waters and a scarcity of Provisions the which if corporally joined to any Planet signifyeth events according to the nature of that Planet the nature of every Planet you have been taught before as if it be joined to Saturn there shall be mortalities troubles to old men and those of the religious Orders to Jupiter it extends its effects to Kings and Grandees whether good or bad according to their fortitudes to Mars many wars tumults slaughters and effusion of bloud to the Sun it will not appear by reason of the Suns splendour yet it portends the death of Kings and many tribulations plagues and sicknesses to Venus it signifies drought and a diminution of great waters to Mercury it denotes the death of young men wits and ingenuous souls to the Moon it signifies death and grievous mortality to men especially common people The fourth Miles consecrated to Venus and hath an hairy tail or main emitting Moon-like beams or rayes it signifieth mischief to Kings Nobles and Great men and that men shall rise that will endeavour to alter the Laws and antient Customs and set up new but the greatest evil portended thereby will be incident to those places towards which it extends its tail or rayes it denotes also wars The fifth Ceruleus of a blew or azure colour appropriated to Mercury it denotes the death of Kings and Grandees Nobles such as are chief Rulers and chiefly towards the part towards which it extends its rayes also wars The sixth Aurora five Matutina assigned to Mars it hath a tale and is of a fiery complexion when it appeareth towards the East bending its head downwards it signifies war combustions fire and sword pestilence and famine in Arabia and Egypt drought and a scarcity of waters and this shall extend also to the Western Regions The seventh Argentum sive Argenteus and this is the brightest and clearest of all Comets it hath pure bright beams when it appears Jupiter being then in Cancer or Pisces it promiseth abundance of corn and fruit in those parts where it appeared but if Jupiter be then in Scorpio it will not be altogether so good The eighth Rosa this is a great round Comet and is of the form and similitude of of a man it causeth the death of Kings Great Noble and Rich men and the alteration of things The ninth and last Niger appropriated to Saturn being in colour like unto him it denotes mortality both natural and also by the sword beheadings and the like If a Comet appear in the Ascendent of any Town Note Kingdom City Family or in the Ascendent of the Revolution of the World it signifieth destruction of the things signified by the Ascendent and the sign thereof and if it appear in the sign of the mid-Heaven at the time of any of these it bringeth danger to such as are promoted to honour The signification of Comets in Earthy signs watry aiery and fiery Comets appearing in earthy signs denote sterility through drought in watry through abundance of rain and floods and causeth also Pestilence in aiery they promise Winds Seditions and Pestilence yet not alwayes Plagues in fiery Wars slaughters and commotions CHAP. IX Of the signification of Comets and Blazing-Stars appropriated to the seven Planets REceive these Rule following as from the Chaldeans Arabians and such as were very expert in these matters in former Ages The Portences of such Comets as belong to Saturn Wherefore know that if any Comet of the nature and complexion of Saturn appear in the Ascendent of the Revolution of the World it denotes many evils Famine Pestilence Banishment Want Anxiety terrour and trouble Chronick diseases and Melancholy distempers Catarrs Quartane Agues Falling Sickness Leprosies Palsies Cancers and those diseases which are of continuance lingring Consumptions and the like destruction to Beasts appertaining to the use of man excessive cold weather in winter Note but you are still to remember the Nature of the Climate for this inordinate cold in Aethiopia will cause but a temperate Ayr c. and therefore this is to be understood of these Northern parts clouds frost and snow strong and high winds tempests shipwracks destruction of Fish as also of Fruit by Caterpillers Locusts and such like Vermine great Inundations and storms to the anoyance of Cattel and all things Men and Kingdoms under the Dominion of Saturn shall suffer detriment and be in danger of destruction Comets of the nature of Jupiter and their portences Such as are of a silver colour bright and of great splendor and of the nature of Jupiter cause a plentiful year when they appear in the Ascendent as you have heard wholsome blasts of Ayr with many seasonable showers especially if it be a watry sign it denotes also such infirmities as are of the nature of Jupiter which you have heard in the second Book of this Volume and many alterations and changes in such Kingdoms Regions and Places subject unto him the which I have there also at large set down Comets of the nature of Mars and their significations Those Comets which you have heard we have understood by the names of Veru and Pertica are of the nature of Mars wherefore they denote horrible winds storms and tempests a drought of Fountains and a destruction of Fruit by corruption and all the diseases portended by Mars c. frequent Thundering and Lightnings to the destruction of many Ship at Sea wrath quarrels heart-burnings slaughters and blood-shed amongst men tumults seditions and wars alterations of Kingdoms Laws Government and Customs and such like evils appropriated to the nature of Mars and the shall chiefly be incident to such men as are under his Dominion Towns Cities Kingdoms and Places as also to those parts towards which the Comet extendeth its tayl as you have heard

in two hundred and forty years yet once in twenty years they come in Conjunction in one part or other of the Zodiack The third is the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in the first term or degree of Cancer and this is once in thirty years The fourth is the Conjunction of the three superiours Saturn Jupiter and Mars in one term or face of any sign The fifth is the Conjunction of Jupiter and Mars which is a mean and the least Conjunction of the superiours and therefore is not the fore-runner of such great n foreefs as the other as you shall by and by understand ●●m●re sixth is the Conjunction of the Sun with any of the rest of the Planets at the time of his entrance into the first point of Aries The seventh and last is the Conjunction of the Sun and Moon which happeneth once every moneth Considerations before iudgement Of which we are now in order to treat but first you must know that the time for the erecting of your figure is when the Planets are in Partil Conjunction viz. in the very same signe degree and minute of the Zodiack You may see what a Partial Aspect is the 27 Chapter of the second Book of this Volume Having then erected the Figure of the Heavens at your punctual time and placed the Planets therein being reduced to the time of the day have regard unto the fortitudes and debilities of the Planets especially those in Conjunction for if they be strong and fortunate they presage good if weak and impedited the contrary And this good or evill shall be according to the nature of the Planets in Conjunction and the nature of the sign in which they are as if the Sign be aiery and the Planets evill impediment in the Ayr corruption and much damage thereby both to men and the fruits of the Earth is denoted and so judge of the rest of the signs in like manner judge the contrary if the Planets in Conjunction be Fortunes and well dignified Again if the Malevolents be in Conjunction in feminine Signs they denote Pestilence and evill infirmities to women and the Female sex of things in general chiefly in like manner to the Masculine sex if the Sign be Masculine and health prosperity and good success if they are benevolent Planets Moreover in fixed signs what they portend whether they are Benevolents or Malevolents is of continuance in moveable of little or no continuance in common signs a mean between these viz. they are neither of long or short continuance CHAP. XII Of the Conjunctions of the Superiours EVery Planet in some measure or other contributeth to the Government of this World for the which they were ordained but some more forcibly then others as being fore-runners of greater and stranger accidents and mutations Of the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Aries For the great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in the first point of Aries or the first term thereof is the greatest and most notable Conjunction of all the other for that they are the highest and so consequently as to us the slowest of the Planets and therefore have more power to act what they denote then any of the other h●●● and for that Aries is the first of the signs of the Zodiack and the first sign of the Triplicities also the first of the fiery Trygon And therefore it is that when these two highest Planets are in Conjunction in the fiery Trygon especially in the first term or degree of Aries the Ascendent of the world and the place wherein the chief Luminary viz. the Sun was at the Creation many commotions wars seditions troubles subversion of Monarchies Kingdoms States alteration of Laws Customs Priviledges and Rights Plagues Famine Desolation Anxiety and trouble Treasons Treacheries and the death of Kings Nobles Princes Emperours and Powers follow Of the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in any Trygon So likewise when they are in Conjunction in the first term of any Trygon whether it be fiery earthy aiery or watry but not so forcible is their then E●●●● nor so terrible as the former yet though in a less degree the fore-runners an ●●casioners of grievous mutations and accidents according to the nature of that Planet which hath most power of the two in the Sign wherein they are joined for if Saturn be stronger then Jupiter it will be very terrible but if Jupiter be stronger then him somewhat will be abated in fiery earthy and aiery Signs they cause drought and a scarcity of Provisions and barrenness of the ground Pestilence and Famine in watry detriment by the too much abundance thereof Also when these two first Conjunctions are in any of the Angles especially the tenth it denotes the arise of some new King or Prophet from the quarter signified by the sign wherein they are joined and if the Sign and Lord thereof be fortunate it denotes their continuance establishment and glory but if it be weak or afflicted and its Lord they shall be slain and put down for the whole world is governed by these Trygons as Ptolomy teacheth in his second Book and the whole Macrocosm compounded of the four Elements which answereth to the four Triplicities and therefore it is that the Conjunction of the Superiours in them are occasioners of such great mutations Of the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in Cancer In like manner the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in the first degree or term of Cancer is the forerunner of much evill yet are the two former preferred before it viz. terrible wars slaughters depopulations and alterations of Government and destruction of Kingdoms fire and sword famine and pestilence c. and if it be Oriental its Effects will soon operate if Occidentall not so soon the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in any other sign and place is not so terrible And truly this is a terrible Conjunction if rightly considered and dictateth unto us upon the first consideration no less then horrible troubles and alterations in the World if we but consider it it is a Conjunction of the Malevolents two enemies must needs be stronger then one and here they are both together and in a sign wherein Jupiter our best friend is exalted and the Moon the mother of moisture pitcheth her Tent so that by their Conjunction therein both the assistance of the one and the nature of the other is much damnified and afflicted again Saturn is therein in detriment it being the sign opposite to his House Capricorn and Mars is therein in his fall Capricorn being the House of his exaltation and therefore it is these things being considered that they are so mischievous when joined in this sign the which of all their Conjunctions is the worst c. Of the Conjunction of Saturn Jupiter and Mars Also the Conjunction of Saturn Jupiter and Mars in any term or face and beheld by the Sun they being the three superiour Planets and most effectual for strength and height
