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

Face of Gemini threatneth incursions and rapins of enemies In the second the frequent motion of Armies and the solicitations of private and publique things In the third the death of some illustrious and famous man Again an Eclipse of the Moon in the first Face of Cancer excites and stirs up Wars In the second grievous exactions intolerable Tributes Taxations and such like burthens In the third death to the Female sex and sudden destruction and miseries Also an Eclipse of the Moon in the first Face of Leo denotes the death of either some Illustrious King or famous Man In the second the journey of the King and mutation of things In the third she excites the People and Armies to new actions and attempts An Eclipse of the Moon in the first Face of Virgo causeth diseases and Infirmities to the King and various seditions and discords amongst men In the second causeth mischief to Councellors Scribes or such like men In the third brings deadly diseases A Lunary Eclipse in the first Face of Libra provoketh furious and tempestuous hail storms In the second mischief and trouble to every one In the third death to some famous and illustrious men If an Eclipse of the Moon be in the first Face of Scorpio it causeth horrible Thunder and Lightning and sometimes Earth-quakes In the second dryeth Olives and causeth a dry ayr and Burning Feavers In the third the same is threatned and death many seditions quarrels and troubles over and above Also an Eclipse of the Moon in the first Face of Sagittary sendeth thefts and rapines In the second destruction to Horses and Mules In the third the Pestilence and many evils Again the Moon eclipsed in the first face of Capricorn shews suggestions amongst men and untimely death or mischief to some illustrious and Noble man In the second frequent incursions and assaults of souldiers thefts roberies and Captivities In the third the death of some King under the Dominion of Capricorn also sedition Moreover the Moon eclipsed in the first face of Aquaries denotes the misfortune of some King under Aquaries In the second universally hurteth the seed of the Earth In the third a change in all things Lastly the Moon eclipsed in the first face of Pisces bringeth sadness and anxiety to those we call Priests and Religious Houses In the second the death of some great and Illustrious Person In the third thefts rapines robberies by Land and piracies and troubles by Sea And thus much shall suffice to be said of Eclipses at this time hereafter God sparing me life and leisure from my other studies perhaps I may make some addition thereunto if I finde the present age worthy thereof Let us now proceed CHAP. VI. Of Comets and Blazing-Stars what they are the many sorts thereof their Portences and how long they appear at any time What a Comet is ELsewhere you may remember you have been shewn what a Comet is viz. in the 16. Chpater of the 3. Section of this Book it being no other then a dry exhalation viscuous and slimy exhaled by the Sun and power of the Stars by degrees into the upper Region of the Ayr for by how much the dryer or moister are the vapours whereof they are compounded the higher or lower are they placed and drawn up The name thereof This word Comet we borrow from the Greeks who call it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Cometes quasi comata stella an hairy Star as the word signifies in English whence the Latines call it Crinita because many times they appear like hair made of fire or fire in the manner and form of a mans head or an horses main and we in England do vulgarly call them Comets or Blazing-Stars of which there are divers sorts as mentioneth Pliny Lib. 2. cap. 25. de Nat. and others Divers sorts of Comets or Bl●zing stars The first by the Greeks called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 à barba resembling a beard because it hath a circle about it of that form or shape I mean about the nether part thereof The second they call 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 id est a jaculo because it is shapen in form of a dart or spear The third 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which is the same as is the former save only they are shorter and sharper-pointed at the top then the other and pale like a sword and without raies The fourth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 discus id est a dish or platter this Comet is so called for that it is round resembling a dish yet now and then it putteth forth one of the brims thereof The fifth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Pitheus and this is in form like a Tun invironed in a smoaky light The sixth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Ceratias thus called for that it resembleth an horn and such an one Pliny testifieth appeared when the whole manhood of Greece fought the battel of Salamis The seventh 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 lampas à 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 splendeo to shine like a lamp and therefore hath it this name The eighth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Hippeus this emitteth streams like unto an Horse main and therefore it is thus called this is swift in motion and often turneth round as saith Pliny A ninth he recordeth to be white and bright like silver hair and of that splendor that a man is hardly able to behold it and others become shaggy and compassed as it were with hair or frindge round about Where or in what part of Heaven usually seen They are in a manner all seen under the Great Bear or that constellation which we vulgarly call Charlimains Wain or Charles his Wain yet some have been discerned to appear in that white part of the Heaven called commonly the Milky way from the fictions of the Poet they denote many boisterous winds and excessive heat seldome are any seen in the West part of Heaven but about the South or Antartick Pole some have been seen as Pliny in the same aforesaid Chapter testifieth to whom I here refer thee where thou shalt finde what Prodigies they were the fore-runners of in the time of Claud●us Caesar Pompey and Octavius the Consul Their continuance in the Heavens It hath been observed and noted by the diligent care industry and pains of the Antients that they never appear a shorter time then a seven-night nor longer then 80 dayes some have said 40 others 75 from Plutarch who noted so much from the Comet which appeared before the Peloponsian wars in Greece but their continuance is according to their magnitude for if they be but small they will be soon burnt out unless they be daily fed with new exhalations I shall not here trouble my self to recite what Seneca Aristotle and others write in Histories concerning such horrid accidents which have followed in many places on the appearance of Comets since all the learned in the works of Nature do unanimously conclude they are the fore-runners of much

of Waters in the Western not so soon and it signifies many sicknesses and that Wolves and mad Dogs will rage And if in Virgo In Virgo it denotes the extirpation of Domesticks belonging to some King or Prince or their removall out of one place into another or out of one Kingdom into another or their banishment or their being carried away captive and their goods and offices shall be taken away without any hope of restauration neither shall they ever recover them it denotes also damage to Merchants and mutual injuries and injustice amongst men also vexations and captivities and much labour pain trouble tribulations and sadness Feavers Abortions in women a noise of Arms c. If it appear Eastward the sooner are its Effects manifest and portends war if Westward the later and denotes quarrels and a rankeness of Corn. In Libra it denotes theft and robberies also cutters on the High-way In Libra and men shall fear poverty and want and shall suffer through cold it denotes also the death of some eminent man slaughters and secret plots and treacheries a scarcity of Rain impetuous Winds a drought of Fountains and other waters a want of the Fruits of the Earth and Provisions for the use of man Earth quakes c. And if it be Eastern these Effects will the sooner appear and the Kings of Babylon and such as are under the sign Libra shall be unfortunate and Horses and Mules shall be dear and Wars amongst the Romans but if Western the contrary and servants shall contemn and reject their Masters and the fruits of the Earth shall not be altogether so scarce In Scorpio any Comet signifieth abundance of war and rebellion to Kings In Scorpio changes and alterations detriment and damage to souldiers labour and travel to all kings of men contentions amongst Great men great perils and dangers the death of some eminent man and a scarcity of waters at some certain times mischief to such as are with child a scarcity of Corn and the fruits of the Earth and pains in the Testicles and Bladder And if it be seen in the East or Eastward these do soon appear and it denotes a scarcity of rain and that Wolves sand Dogs will ravin but if it be Westward not so soon and there shall be Locusts and such like creatures Also a Comet in Sagittary denotes a decay of Nobility In Sagittary and a suppression of Great and Noble men wise prudent and learned and much evill and tribulation will fall upon them and especially to Scribes or Lawyers moreover captivity of Princes war and such like But if it be seen towards the East sooner will these be effected and it signifieth the death of Kings fightings robberies and a scarcity of Provisions for the life of man if towards the West later and it denotes many fantastical dreams and that women shall have many Abortions Again In Capricorn in Capricorn any Comet signifies fornications amongst men war amongst King and Nobles many calamities and misfortunes quarrels poisoning of Kings the death of Princes cutting by the High-way contempt of Religion men and things and it also shews persecution of or to Religion hail snow and a sharp winter to the great anoyance of the seeds of the Earth also it threatneth Famine Pestilence and the like If it be first seen in the Eastern part of Heaven its Effects will suddenly appear and it denotes that Kings shall be damnified by their enemies and they shall be the occasion of their death and alterations in Government snow also and abundance of rain to the destruction of Vines and other the fruits of the Earth but if in the Western not so soon and it denotes a Year of abundance of grass and water Moreover if in Aquaries In Aquaries it denotes many wars and slaughters and the death of some honorable and eminent Prince or Lady in the Eastern parts say some of the Antients but I should have judged it in the Western parts Aquaries being a Western sign c. war for a long time Epidemical diseases an obscuration of the Ayr with thundring and lightning Pestilence also and the death of both Illustrious men and also the common sort of people If it appear in the Eastern parts their Portences will sooner operate and it denotes abundance of grass if in the Western later and it signifies various rumors and chiefly of war and that many men shall be imprisoned and captivated Lastly In Pisces a Comet in Pisces signifies war amongst kindred and to another and there shall be much slaughter contentions also touching matters of Faith and priviledges and customs in Religion and antient Traditions there shall be also many apparitions in the Ayr fishes shall many of them suffer destruction and it shall be dangerous Navigating Kings shall War one against another the father against the son and the son against the father and brother against brother c. And if it appear in the East part of Heaven the sooner will these be manifested and it signifies enmities between Kings Nobles and Plebeans tumults bickerings c. if in the West part the later and there shall be many anxieties and deaths amongst men in the Western parts I should judge it in the North-west parts and this shall continue three years and and there shall be many birds fishes and inundations and overflowings of Rivers When Comets chiefly manifest their Effects You have heard that they chiefly shew their Effects to those parts to which they emitt their beams or rayes to the which I may adde the Regions where they are seen and the Kingdoms Countreys Provinces and Cities subject to the sign wherein they appear but the time when it shall be chiefly most manifest is when the Sun comes to the place of their first appearance or to that Planet of whose nature and complexion it is c. And thus much of Comets and Blazing-Stars come we now to great Conjunctions and so conclude these our labours CHAP. XI Of great Conjunctions their Number and how to judge of their Effects MOst of the Antients have been short in their judgments on this subject yet some more copious then others but none so effectual as I could wish for thy instruction since by the Conjunction of the Planets all the accidents and mutations of this Elementary World are known especially by the Conjunction of the Superiours how ever such as they are I shall here deliver unto the with my best assistance time and opportunity may happily produce more hereafter in the Interim understand thus much That there are seven sorts of Conjunctions considerable The first and greatest of all the rest is the Conjunction of the two superiour Planets Saturn and Jupiter in the first term or degree of Aries which happens but once in nine hundred and threescore yearr The second is the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in the first term or degree of every triplicity and this is accomplished once
