Laws and to unfold Mens Secrets Generally such Men as are addicted to all manner of Sciences Venus the chief that participates in the Rule of the Geniture occasions such Commotions of the Native as be Delightful Merry Pleasant yet so as that he studyeth Good Works and Friendships whereof he is most observant and hereby becomes grateful to all Men He abhors all filthy but is taken with cleanly things comely Gestures decent Attires Ornaments and Elegance 4. Venus therefore and Jupiter do Promise great Felicity in Affairs both Civil and Ecclesiastical 5. There are most evident Testimonies of an Excellent Ingenuity 1. Mercury in Aquarius doth of himself suscitate the strength thereof 2. Besides there is a Reception from Houses and a Partile Trine betwixt Him and Saturn 3. Venus Angular doth the like 4. Especially for that the Moon and the Dragons Head are together in the same Angle 5. Mercury and the Moon are Asyntheti Pure and not vitiated yet both behold the Horoscope she by a Platique Trine he by a Partile Quadrature 6. Jupiter Lord of the Second Direct in Motion and Received of Mars plainly assures an abundance of Wealth The Part of Fortune most excellently augments this signification the same being posited in the Second where he is disposed of and Aspected by Jupiter These Riches take their Increase from Services faithfully performed from most Eminent Honours and Dignities and they more abundantly in the third or last Age. 7. Mercury Lord of the 10 th and having convenient society with Saturn presages Dignities not obscure We have spoken before concerning the Dominion of Jupiter and Venus wherefore seeing they equally share the Rule of the Geniture How can it be that they should not reward the Native with some or other most eminent Dignities 8. Your Neighbours or Kindred shall sometimes occasion your Damage in Houshold Goods or Affairs and you shall expend very much in Building 9. Mars Lord of the 6 th ingendreth Hot Infirmities yet they not so vehement because of Jupiter's Interposition Moreover Mars in Sagittary causeth most commonly a gravel in the Joynts of the Feet If he be found in that Sign and in the Sixth he inevitably brings the Gout the pains whereof are not to be taken away but by the Influence of Sagittary Pisces c. deduced from Heaven it self c. Some other Remedies also may do much yet not any that are got by Common Artifice 10. Your Death will be Natural by the means of some Chronical Infirmity proceeding chiefly from Saturn such as are Distillations upon the Jaws the Breast the Lungs Spleen c. Howbeit Old Age is a Disease and an easie Passage unto Death it self 11. The Sun and Moon disposing of the 9 th House do discern Honourable Journeys Mercury well posited in the Third occasioneth Journeys undertaken for the Cause of Honours and Dignities and to Persons most Honourable for Learning and Dignities Civil and Ecclesiastical 12. Venus Lady of the 11 th concerneth a Multitude of the best Friends Yet Mars beholding Venus by a Quartile shall stir up the Envy of some Persons sowing oftentimes Dissention and inverting all goodness 13. Venus shall give you Victory over your Enemies whereof indeed there are but a few denounced because she is Lady of the 7 th Angular and in her Exaltation 14. Your Marriage shall be Fortunate as to an Affluence of Riches yet herein beware of the Faithless Brawling and Luxurious Quadrature of Mars But this very much depends upon Mans Free-will and Young Men oft-times find themselves at a loss through their Ignorance and Rashness We will now consider the Signs of the Four Angles 15. Scorpio Ascending gives the Native an Elegant Acuteness of Wit Plenty of Discourse It also often Instilleth Great vices Infidelity Envy Covetousness Ingratitude which Learning and Right Reason Exterminate 16. Virgo Culminating is wont to Raise the Native to Magistracy It confers a toleration of Great Authority It transfers many Benefits to others from whom it returns not the like Favour 17. Taurus in the West-Angle presents you with such Adversaries as at length he will see oppressed by sundry kinds of Misfortunes He there incites you to Love Luxury Delights and Jeasting 18. Pisces posited in the Fourth indue the Mind of the Native with much Faith Integrity and Dexterity of Wit whereby they gain great Authority in their Administrations they delight to Walk and Dwell near Rivers But almost abhor uxorious Matters The Planets in the Houses of Heaven 19. The Sun in the Third presages Journeys in the Causes of Honours and Dignities He brings a Mutation of Places and Honour in Forraign parts 20. Mercury there well posited renders a Man most Learned in every Science whereof I could produce innumerable Examples Those shall invent many things by their own Ingenuity They are Fortunate in Church-Matters Writing and Merchandize 21. Venus most excellently well collocated in the Fourth will give you Large Possessions and Habitations chiefly in your Last Age she declares the Period of your Life Honourable and Praise-worthy 22. Mars in the First and there not Infortunate makes a Man Couragious Rash and somewhat Angry sometimes he presageth Wounds in the Head and Face 23. Jupiter in the 5 th doth sometimes confer the Great Rewards of Great Men He makes a Man Fortunate in Embassies 24. Saturn thus excellently seated in the 8 th gives many Inheritances He threatens death by Catharrs A Cough c. and often-times by the Plague The Planets in the Signs 25. The Sun in the House of Saturn makes the vital vertue more Robust and as it were more Compact whence he gives a Longer Life than ordinary 26. The Moon in the House of Jupiter promotes all things that are good yet being here Afflicted by the Quartile of Mars exciteth some strifes in Possessions often reiterateth small Fevers 27. Satu●n in the House of Mercury gives a Profound Wit Occult Sciences 28. Jupiter in the House of Mars indifferently well Affected makes one Victorious 29. The same is signified by Mars in the Mansion of Jupiter Thus they both of them render the Native very gracious with Princes and Noblemen and under them to have Authority 30. Venus in the House of Jupiter bestows many Benefits either by the means of Women or of some Ecclesiastical Preferments She makes you Discr●et Honest Healthful Sometimes she occasioneth strife and falling out with your Neighbours and some of your Friends for that Venus is expos'd to the Quadrature of Mars 31. Mercury in the House of Saturn gives always a profound Wit and a Man that is greedy of all Sciences The Lords of the Houses 32. The Lord of the Horoscope received of Jupiter from Houses plainly declares a Generous Mind 33. The Lord of the Second in the Fifth increaseth your Wealth through Rewards bestowed by Great Men. 34. The Lord of the Third in the Eighth occusioneth Journeys either on the behalf of some that are Dead or by reason of the Plague He

did govern Riches The third Brethren The fourth Parents and so of the the rest as in the subsequent Figure the Houses are Ordered and Named And from him until this present time hath this division of heaven and appellation of Houses continued uncorrupted Howbeit Ptolomy and his Followers do dissent from this Ancient Tradition seeming to pervert the Division in many places As when concerning Children they principally judge not from the 5. House but the 11. which is opposite thereunto When concerning the Mother not from the 4. but the 10. opposite unto it So when of Servants and Animals not from the 6. but the 12. the House opposing it which apparent Error shall hereafter be Corrected The Order and Names of the Houses Astrological 1. Life 2. Riches 3. Brethren 4. Parents 5. Children 6. Servants 7. Marriage 8. Death 9. Religion 10. Magistracy 11. Friends 12. Enemies Now amongst all other Foundations of Astrology this of dividing the Heavens into 12 Houses is the first and chiefest in that thereupon principally depends the whole Art of Predictions And the Causes Reasons and first Beginnings of this Division furthest distant from our Understanding and far more hardly to be found out by reason than any other in which regard very few if any at all have undertaken the defence thereof by any true or probable Reasons Ptolomy himself to say the truth being in this particular very defective For Lucius Bellantius who took up●n him the defence of Astrology against Picus in his 10. Book written against c. 5. of Picus's 10. Book after he had enumerated sundry of his own and t●● Ancients trifles not worthy the name of Reasons is at length forced to oppose Picus with Experience onely and to conclude him from Objects very ridiculous and unbeseeming an Artist of his Learning and Gravity in these words Quaerere igitur quam ob causam haec v●l illa domus hujus virtutis sit est quaerere quare Sol sit Lucidus cur Ignis calidus Aqua frigida quae tamen ex principiis intrinsecis pendent nobis ignotioribus aut saltem minimè notioribus which but a little before he had called Profunda Naturae secreta And indeed all others who have endeavoured to give the Reasons of these Houses have produced nothing orderly nothing of Truth but meer figments onely So that if any-where they brought a reason which seemed but to defend one House the very same really destroyed all the rest And therefore Alexander ab Angelis lib. 4. cap. 19. after his Muster of all the Arguments brought by Julius Firmicus concerning these Houses he justly refells them in these wo●ds Ridiculus sit quicunque ridiculas has rationes nostra refutatione egere existimaret By which it plainly appears how easie and free it was for the Enemies of Astrology to hiss and laugh at these Houses and importunately and impudently to demand Why Heaven might not be divided into more than 12. Houses Wherefore the First House is called the House of Life and placed in the East Why the order and numeral succession of the Houses is from East to West And why the Second House is ●alled the House of Riches or Gain the twelfth of Enemies Imprisonment and Misery And so why the other Houses are called by their Names and disposed in that order Seeing as they pretend as well their Order as Names observe no Order at all but are rather a meer Chymera of Confusion a plain hotch-potch of fiction and foolery as Picus lib. 10. and Alexander ab Angelis l. 4. c. 27. do variously but most wretchedly torment themselves in proving But know that the Division of Heaven into 12 houses as before in the Figure ought not in any wise to be accounted feigned or as wanting a Natural Foundation But rather for a happy conception of the most wise and piercing intellect provided any humane understanding can of it self apprehend it and it be not of that universal knowledge God infused into Adam at the Creation as that which standing upon a real Foundation declares the universal state of Man in Heaven wonderfully shadowed like as in his first Physical Cause For this Division was by the first Author thereof Cabalistically conveyed to Posterity who indeed have in no sorr changed the same but yet its Mysteries the spirit of the Cabal they have not understood nothing at all being left us by any one concerning them First then for more Illustration sake I say That the former first and simple division of heaven into four Cardinal parts is not feigned but natural and upheld by a natural foundation as before hath been demonstrated And that if every one of those parts hath two other parts in heaven of the same Nature viz. those with whom it makes an Aequilateral Triangle in the Aequator the principal Circle of the Worlds first Motion or which it beholds by a partile Trine in the Aequator For the Eternal Trinity is of infinite Love and the fountain and substance of infinite and most perfect Love wherein the thing Loving which is the First the thing Loved which is the Second and Love proceeding from both which is the Third are one not in Genere or in Specie but in numero and therefore the most simple and most Perfect Whose Perfection is such and so universal that it derives it self into every Trine And therefore may every Trine be called Perfect not in any particular or special perfection but in that first and most universal perfection of the First Trine which consisteth in Love and whereof all Trines do diversly participate according to the Capacity of their Nature Seeing therefore the Fixed Stars and Planets do by reason of their various Motions oftentimes behold one another with different Aspects in the Coelestial Circles viz. a Sextile Square Trine and Opposition The first and wise Astrologers as well for reasons taken à priori from the infinite and most universal perfection of the first Trine as à posteriori from most evident Effects do generally affirm that of all Aspects the Trine is most perfect and that therein the perfection of the first Trine viz. Love is so strong and lively it is called by them an Aspect of perfect Friendship Now forasmuch as this could not be without a similitude of natures or at least a generical Identity They rightly concluded the parts of the Aequator which beheld one another by a partile Trine to be at least of the same generical nature and to make up a Triplic●●● of ●he same nature Whe●●●ore seeing that each of the afore-mentioned Four Cardinal parts of Heaven doth challenge to it self a p●culiar Triplicity of its own nature by these four Triplicities Heaven is divided into 12 parts called Houses Neither was it divisible into more or fewer parts by the Created Quaternary multiplyed into the Divine Ternary And therefore this Division is accounted the most absolute and truly perfect as containing two Sextiles two Squares two Trines and also the Opposition

the Mi●●ries a Man suffereth in his whole life-time Now for that all these are Enemies to Life therefore are they contained under the onely consideration of an Enemy in the 12. house which is truly call●d the valley of miseries and immediately followeth in this Triplicity according to the Motion of the Aequator 3. The last Affliction inhabiting the 8. House is the Death of man hims●lf which is an End of this Temporal and the Beginning of an Eternal Life wherefore according to the second motion or the motion of the Planets which is from West to East there is an entrance made from the 8. house into the 9. which is the house of Life in God whereby man is given to understand that he is to pass by the second motion of the Soul which is attributed to the mind or reason as the first and rapt m●tion is to the Body or sensitive appetite from a T●mporary Death unto a Life in God which is Eternal Therefore in these Triplicities that which is First in the order of nature or dignity possesseth alway the more noble houses viz. the Angular That which is second succedent houses according to the motion of the Aequator And that which is last Cadent which are also succedent according to the motion of the Ecliptick or Planets Now I beseech you what is he will suppose this Division of the 12 Coel●stial houses by Triplicities appearing in this so excellent a consent and in such wonderful order to be in any wise feigned or casual Or whether by chance such consents are wont to be in things so abstruse and intermixed Or if altogether fictitious whether therefore altogeth●r wanting a Natural Foundation which before I have plainly proved to be false and now made that most orderly cons●nt of the Houses themselv●s manifest Therefore is this Division Natural and ord●ined by great wisdom as comprehending at least generically all worldly things that can possibly be enquired of or concerning Man forasmuch as the knowledge of Contraries is the same and that an ●ffirmative or negative may be sought of any thing belonging to any house For example Seeing Man by the force of natural light knoweth that there is one God who made and governeth the world and therefore to be worshipped and Loved above all as the Trine Aspect made from the first house the cause of all inclinations to the 9. which is the house of Religi●n by the first principles of nature insinuateth from the Stars and Planets or their Asp●cts r●sident in the 1. and especially in the 9. may judgment b● given whether the native shall be inclinced to the wo●ship o● God and to R●ligion or the contrary And so c●●c●●ni●g other things of this nature In like manner conjecture is made from the 7. house whether he shall lead a married or a single life From the 5. whether he be fruitful and to have issue or the contrary and so of the rest of the other houses Moreover this light of the Triplicities doth very clearly distinguish the things which belong to every House per se and manifests their Errors who judge from the purpose by inconvenient or Repugnant Houses For example In a manner all Astrologers do suppose but ●rroneously that health and sickness belong to the 7. and 6. Houses per se whereas indeed they depend upon the Temperament which is the Seat of Life and therefore ought judgment to be given concerning them from the First House per se but the judgment deduced from other Houses is only per accidens that is as you shall find the Malevolent Planets or their Beams upon which the horoscope falls by Direction or which shall come by Direction to the horoscope it self or to the opposition or Square thereof during the Life of the Native And therefore if Saturn or Mars shall at the Moment of his Birth be found in the 2. or 6. House from these Houses shall judgment be given per accidens of a Saturnine or Martial disease to happen when the horoscope comes by Direction to Saturn or Mars in the 2. Or when Saturn or Mars shall come by Direction to the opposite of the horoscope in the 7. Therefore judgment per se is always referred to the horoscope The like of other Houses which Ptolomy especially seems highly to pervert but would have said otherwise had he known this Cabal of the Houses which so perfectly distinguisheth the proper house of ev●ry thing Much more might be said concerning these Triplicities conducing to the natural light of Praedictions which here I omit presuming I shall abundantly satisfie as well the Friends as Enemies of Astrology if from the Doctrine proposed I do give a full and clear Answer to the beforementioned importunate Questions put to Astrologers concerning these houses Therefore to the first Question I say that heaven is divided into 12 Houses and no more because every one of the 4 Cardinal parts of heaven which govern the beginning vigour Declination and Death of things do by a Trine Aspect behold two other Caelestial parts which be of its own Nature whence shall arise three places out of each of the 4. Cardinal of the same nature for three times 4. doth make neither more nor less than 12. To the second I say that the first House is called the House of Life because a man is said first to Rise upon this Scene of the world when first he draws the Breath of this Life and therefore seeing that the first breathing of this Life is the beginning thereof it must be placed in the East as the beginning of every other Physical thing To the third I answer that it matters not as to the instituting of Caelestial Influxes or Praedictions what number any House be called by whether 2.3 or 4. provided heaven be divided as before into four Triplicities and the nature of the Houses not changed Yet the Physical order of the Houses is from the East to the South into the West agreeable to the Motion of the first and most universal Physical cause according to whose parts succeeding one another by that motion are the principal Estates or Ages of all generable things contained according to their succession before related in the Equator the principal Circle of the first cause and so Physically the House of Enemies is the second in order the House of Friends the third the House of Magistracy the fourth and so forth But mystically or Analogically the Numerical order begins from the East by the North Angle to the West the reason whereof is this There are two Motions in the heavens the first is of the first Moveable termed the Rapt-motion the second of the Planets who notwithstanding the Rapt-motion by which they are wheel'd about inviolably observe the Laws of their own Moderate motion ordained to the contrary of the former There are also two Motions in Man who is called the Microcosine one of the sensitive Appetite which is the Motion of man in as much as he is
