2. then besure ♃ ♂ are within Terms also note his ☌ with ♀ would be scarce Innocent But this is not all To see that our Aspect will be owned as we have more then once observed the Aspect which entred about the middle of Aug. runs through ♋ ♌ and falls not till almost August enters again conecting the Pestilences of those years and twisting them into one Thrid though the Winter perhaps be a little more Slender and the Aestival more Cable-like in my mind who Plead for co-existence of Causes with Effects This is considerable others may enjoy their Principles where I poor Grosse-Test can find no Footing Alass Who can walk upon the Water 1649. Sickly London Graunt ☌ ♃ ♂ in July c. That is too pat I list not to speak of the Pest at Amsterdam and Harlem because they fall not under any Aspect of the Superiors For as considerable as they are they do not exhaust all the Doctrine of the Causes of Pestilence over-head They are to be produc'd in a Planetary Tract rather Only this agrees and suits with what is before deliver'd that on September the 27th which proved the Highest Week we can point out one that is guilty and scarce flies for the same A □ though not ☌ ♃ ♂ 1658. Sickly City in London Grant I want the Weekly account here and perhaps there is no need of it ♃ ♂ together in ♋ at the beginning of Summer which least they should cool in June and July are renewed by a deputy Congress of ☿ instead of ♂ ☿ Stationary or Retr we have said is as Malefique as any ♂ of them all 1661. In ♄ 's Table it may be objected that the Bill did not start up in to 500. c. till ♄ and ♂ were expired be it so But have we not said even now that ♀ Stationary is equivalent to ♂ and that is entred upon a ☌ with ♃ before the Start and lasts till ☌ ♄ ♂ comes in at October who are met in ♏ But that ☌ is innocent in comparison of what we advance ☌ ♃ ☿ Stationary in ♍ the highest Week whose Total was 600. Aug. 27. under the said ☌ ♃ ☿ Stationary 1665. There remains A o 1665. A 100000. Persons more it may be than are born in a years time throughout England I am not pleased with Aug. 1690. nor perhaps July 91. nor May c. 92. but I hope London will never tast the like There were Councils of War and Parties and Ambushes and Retreats 't is a wonder to see the Military Discipline There were ♄ ♀ in Tropic ☍ in May. There was ♄ and ☿ in the same ☍ There we had ♄ opposing ♀ ☿ both Stationary in June Do you hear or understand our Terms There was ♄ ♀ opposing ♀ ☿ still Stationary in July where ♄ got into Opposition with ♂ and now the Thousands are blown up into a Swelling Total ♃ ♂ inflames the Mortality Bill to 7000. when ☍ ♃ ♂ mingles which begins according to us in the midst of Aug. In September ♃ ♂ with ♀ holds up the Malignity And Oh unhappy but too true observation at the time of the ☍ think you the Bill was at highest after it pleas'd God it decreased And How many think you Even 1800. in the next Week because the Aspect after the Congress is Weaker in the Recess than in the Access as in other cases hath bin said but the succeding Week proved not so the measure of abatement was not half the former Sum to shew it is not the Declension of the Sun only or the Time of the year in general for then it would have abated in Proportion but 't is some other more particular disposition of that Woful year 1665. Howbeit in the midst of October it remitted by 1800 again in ☍ though still yet upon leaving the Aestival Sign ♌ which Signs Aestival are the Life of the Death the Vigour and Sting next to Sin is the cause of all Here I observed that if it had abated a 1000 per week by Novembers midst there should have been but two hundred or say 3. or 460. Funerals but in the midst of Nov. we find 1300. and the following 900. because in my opinion the Aspect was not disengaged till that time Then it was and lo the Week was content with a pretty reasonable and ordinary Sum of 500 and odd To them be it who make ill use of these Discourses who can believe a Prime Cause and yet admit no second or will not Worship him unless he acts by Miracle No man seems to magnifie the Deity more than an Enthusiast but the Sober Principle resisting no Light Loves and fears God as He is and as he shews himself not ridiculous either to Christians or Heathens Thus doth the Pestilence walk in Darkness the Sickness destroys at the noon day 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Not two Evil Angels as the Talmudists yea the Chaldee Paraphrase Septuagint consenting but the Striking Influence Diurnal Nocturnal Those Arrows from Heaven that fly by Day and Those Mortal surprizes that ensnare us by Night whence the Psalm is called a Song of Evil Occurrents for as the Prime Cause makes his Sun to Shine on the Just and the Unjust so he makes his Planets and Fixed Stars to burn us where he pleaseth For no body tells us that in Contagious Diseases Nights are more easily passed than the days the Celestial Influence being equal as in the Chasme Motion of the Seas Tempests and Earthquakes is apparent Where upon I was apt to think that Those Hebrew Doctors for their imperfect Notices of things increased by a glimpse perhaps of the Wasting Spirit in the Word there used might construe it of Spirits which was to be interpreted of Influences So I say that whatsoever Truth there may be in the Jewish Glosses of That and other Places in Holy Writ seeing it owns a Destroying Angel and Evil Angels are more busie not only in Temptations but also Ministerial Executions of Wrath I must whatsoever becomes of Tempests not be engaged to discharge our Influences The year 1665. was generally noted for a Dry Misty year if the Influences caused that Constitution they had a hand in the Malady Currents under ♃ and ♂ § 69. For Currents c. I am aware that I may seem like a Horse used to the Road and cannot get out but when I consider that I do hereby advance a Stock toward the Discovery of the Cause whether Celestial or no I shall find some Mitigation of Censure Here we have but a few to trouble the Reader as 1609.

or a Week or sometimes a second Month. § 42. To refer this to the Periodical Course of the matter as Cardan doth whom of all Men in the World I thought would nee'r have deserted his little Demi-Gods the Planets is not satisfactory to any but those who are great Haters of Superstition For the Quere which asks how such a day is Critical enquires how the matter comes to such a Period and the Answer is because it doth The very word Periodical shews that it depends on the Heavens For though I shall never go so far with Bodin to admit a Period of States and Kingdoms govern'd by the Heavens yet with honest Old Galen I aver that these determinate times are measur'd by the ☽ yea Life and Death it self and all Paroxisms of Feavers and other indispositions of which some are mentioned in the Table suppose the Patient be under a due Regimen are to be ascribed to I do not say the Moon always but to some or other Aspects and appulses Celestial § 43. It will be said again that whatsoever may be found in the Soli-Lunar Aspect there is no such Right Angle to be found in this Imaginary □ of ☽ related to its position at the first seizure of the Malady The ☽ cannot be in two places at once and the place where she first was in the sick account is now void of any such Radiation An Angle must consist of two Lines Resp 'T is true the Moon hath left her first place by her Profection to another but the Objection suppose the place to be a dead place a dull unactive part of the Zodiack but the Moon and the Patient felt it otherwise when she came thither first she found Stars or whatsoever else there may be as it were in Watch and Garison according as they are posted in that part of the Orb. And why may not the Radiation of these Stars be in Square to the Radiation of the Moon And this may be fairly said although I should freely confess that I never yet observed the Fixed Stars in □ Aspect to the Sun except the Pleiades perhaps or some other such 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to have any such irritative faculty though again that very exception of the most notable Asterisms sheweth that every Star hath such Power though not so sensible § 44. But then will not this let in all the Vanities of the Genethliaque pretension Their Directions Receptions c. 2 Resp This can only infer that upon a right process some Conjecture may be given as to the constant Health or Sickness of the Native or which will content them some inclination thereto more especially if the Learned Physitian suppose should be acquainted with the Temper and Carriage of the Party and that is the most can be made from this Doctrine Natura amat Septenarios saith the Physitian Riverius in his Praxis and we must believe them in their Art But there can be no force in abstracted Ideal Numbers So I believe yea that neither Philo-Iudaeus nay nor Plato ever intended it I do not believe I say the Story of the Sabbatical River or that the Sun shineth in Rhodes always on Wednesday because That was the day of his Creation as the Jew answered the Philosopher in Purchas no more than the Violation of the X. Commandments is to be shewn in an ordinary Apple yet I must needs say I do not know but that God hath imprinted on the Universe and the parts thereof some Memorands or Signatures of his Creation There is no question but that there are Umbrages of his Glory in Light his invisibility in the Air his pure Act in uncessant Motion his Eternity in Circular Figure why may not some obscure Impressions and Memorands of his Oeconony in the Worlds Creation be left to us to be picked out of the Septenary which seem to be observed by himself in the Levitical Laws of the Leper and the Menstruals yea and our present Septenary of the place of the Moon which as we have heard and dayly see runs from her Month to her Month by Septenaries § 45. Septenarius est numerus perfectionis in Scripturis upon the account that the Heavens and the Earth were perfected by that Day say Interpreters who are far enough from Superstition whether the Pythagorick Cabalistical or Rosi-crucian viz. Junius and Ainsworth Now the first Seventh day of the World and the first Quadrate Lunar Phasis it would have been well for Chronology if it had been perpetually so were coincident ☽ being created as all agree in the State of the fourth day § 46. After all though it is said probably that the Critical Day acts as a Quartile Aspect yet we do not say that the Aspect operates as mysterious or Critical for setting aside all intrigues of Numbers there is reason why the Quadrate should operate upon Humane bodies though we are beholden to the Astronomer for his warning viz. that the Lunar Globe according to Theory Astronomicall see Gassendus institut is nearest the Earth when in a Square Aspect to the Sun than in any other Phasis § 47. To conclude with our one business for confirmation of the Lunar Influence on the Change of the Air Observe that whereas 't is true one Quadrate alters the Air infallibly in such a particular Month such estimation might be better taken from the place the Sign where the ☽ is rather than the time the Month Lunar or Solar And so it will appear that several of our Squares may be effective 6 times in 7. of which senary number Four only may be found in the Solar Month and the other two in the Month following Such are in the first Quartile of Those in the Month of April the first ten days of May In May and the First 10 days of June in July August October But in the later Quartile for April not so but in May July November 't is so It will be more exposed to view in a Table Thus then □ 1. □ 2.

the Planet ☿ but notwithstanding more or less our Aspect brings Moisture almost 500 days of the 850. in the Total § 41. I would venture to one Conjecture before we part wherefore this Aspect should produce fits of Wet as is seen § 20. and something must be imputed to ☿ either his Nature or his motion Annual or Diurnal That when he shifts into another degree This while he takes his turn saluting the Cardinal Points hand in hand with his Consort or as in some Country-Dances an Handkerchief may be between them But by what hath bin said in the Lunar Sextile the Fits of Rain I believe are justly imputable to the Nature and Motion of all Annual in the ☽ and ☿ Diurnal in the rest for the ☽ 's shifting for her part is undenyable out of dry into a Wet Corner In the mean time let us have leave to ask our Dissenter what is the reason of those sudden Storms which by fits surprise us when the former Showr being blown over a Second appears oft-times more violent than the First What is the reason of this Diabetes Celestial when the Clouds are so often dropping and can't hold he has heard how we CANT of Motions and Aspects c. I would be glad to hear him speak to it intelligibly CHAP. IX ☌ ☉ ♄ Conjunction of Sol and Saturn § 1. ♄ before ♃ by Laws of Method must be discoursed of being the easier Planet 2.

Yea and Winds also as Epigenes hath noted 23. Foreign Evidence remitted to another place 24. Some Sober men are of our Principle Vicount St. Albans Sir Walter Raleigh and Gerard Vossius § 1. SAturn is the Highest Planet of incredible distance so high that it scarce admits any sensible Parallax as Artists perswade and yet we are forced though we strain our selves to reach at him out of Course by the due Laws of Method which prescribes us to premise what is of more easie Confideration that way may be made for what is more difficile Such we reckon is the Planet of Jupiter for though Jove be the Inferiour and so seems to be less remote from our preception yet that is no necessary consequence in Nature as we may see in the motion of the Neighbour Planet ♂ which though it be less remote than ♃ or ♄ is harder to be understood Nature is fond of a Knot semetimes though she hath made none in a Bulrush But the Nobler Vegitables are so full of them that without them there is no Fruitfulness no not a Bud shows its Head § 2. Saturn if we spy him in his Orb hath no promising Countenance a dull heavy Aspect of a Palish or Leaden Gleam upon which account they ascribe that Metal to this Planet so that if an Astrologer should tell a Novice pointing to that Star that it had a considerable Influence he would tacitly pronounce the Dictator more dim-sighted than his Star So that I wondred why the Antients call'd him Phaenon 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 but that Achilles Tatius tells us that he is called by so bright a Names though he be the dullest Star 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for good Omen sake 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 by the Greeks and Aegyptians § 3. However the Novice may be admonished therewithal to beget an Opinion of ♄ that the Antient Astronomers reckon him to be even as vast a Star as ♃ and while the Moderns say he is twice as big as ♃ and ten times as big as the Earth that is 5 times for 't is Keplers opinion we point at as big as ♂ we see it may do mighty Feats § 4. 'T is about 30 years that this Planet runs his course in the Zodiack and therefore his Conjunction with the Sun throughout all the Twelve Signs cannot be observed but by a Long-liv'd Observation for which we offer up our thanks to Heaven Howbeit once in the year the ☉ and ♄ do salute us and invite us to note that Influence which the well imployed Ages of the World in old time have so often experienced § 5. A Table of 30 years Revolution would have been a Rarity 30 years ago For our Ancestors have left us no such Legacy that I know at least not to the publick therefore however the Reader shall value it I must offer again my Solemn Thanks to the Great Author of Life who hath enabled his poor Homager to perfect it § 6. The Character of our Aspect from Ptolemy and others lies thus It produceth Cold and Frost and Misty Weather Clouds and dark Air with Snow where he mentions Rain Hail Inundations c. Diseases proceeding from Cold Death of Antient Men c. that we mention no more Albumazar admits all that of Ptolemy but he harps upon Dryth more ♄ being reckoned a Dry as well as a Cold Planet § 7. Nor is it Ptolemy only we have other Contemporaries or Seniors which speak on this fashion as before we had Poets and Philosophers Virgil Horace Seneca Epigenes Figulus in Lucan c. and the Greeks As many as have reckoned ♄ noxious have reckoned him Cold Sallust Porphiry Upon this account Virgils interpreter to shew his Learning expounds Frigida Saturni Stella i. e. Nocens saith he so for the Colds Influence No body doubts the Antients minds no nor for the Rain Hail Inundations for Figulus in the Poet tells us that ♄ in ♒ may cause Flouds Summo si frigida coelo Stella nocens nigros Saturni accenderet ignes a Verse where ♄ is painted in his colours Deucalionaeos fudisset Aquarius ignes Lucan Lib. 1. And whereas the Poet bids his Rustick be so Weatherwise as to to observe ♄ and ☿ in some Verses before quoted Servius I profess gives Light to his Poet by telling us under what Signs ♄ brought Rain for Italy viz. Capricorn illustrating Horace from thence Hesperiae Capricornus undae Where he further tells us of a Sign for Hail Hail in Scorpio Grandines Epigenes who learned what he had from the Chaldean enlarges our
