superfluities of the body with the powre and vertue increasinge Saturne is lord ouer the Lyuer and hath to doe with the bottome or lowest parte of the stomacke Iupiter chalengeth a righte in the Belly as likewise in the Nauell in so much that in the Temple of Iupiter Hammon in Lybia the figure or lykenesse of a Mans Nauell was hanged vp to fignifie thereby that the thorough closing and fastning together of the Belly belongeth onely to Iupiter himselfe Likewise hee holdeth the Ribbes and the place aboute the priuities as also the Bowels Entrailes within Moreouer the best and more principall bloude is his as also both the armes and both the handes as well the righte as the left with all the whole powre vertue Nutritiue whereby the whole body is nourished and maynteyned To Mars appertayneth and belongeth the seconde more base Bloude as also the Vaines the Ridney the Celles or placinges of the Chest the Backe the Buttockes the Corse and abundaunce of Seede as also all that full powre of the Stomacke wherein Choler is ingendred Proper to Mercury is the Splene the Mylte the Bladder the Matrix and all those places within the Body which are naturally appoynted to the onely vse and office of nourishing Venus ruleth the Secret partes and ordereth the naturall Seede and also causeth and prounketh to the Lust and Appetite of thinges It may be perceyued also that in some one parte of the body they will all seuen beare a sway Hermes sayth that in the head of man there are seuen Pores or holes allotted to dyuerse and sundry offices of the which euery one of them is subiect to a sundry Planet As that Pore or hole which is in the righte Eare apperteineth to Saturne that in the left to Iupiter Mars also hath the gouernment of that which is in the right side of the nose Venus the contrary Sol is maister ouer that which holdeth the stringes of the Eye Luna ouer the other in the left Eye and all the whole workmanship of the mouth is proper alone to Mercury Great graciouse also are all such Benefites of Mankinde as also the other baser kyndes doe estsoones receiue of the Planets especially when as those of like cōdition nature quality doe meete together in gracious signes of like house And cōtrariwise heauy and hearde is their happe fortune and chaunce which haue and obtayne any thing of them as they be in battlement stryfe contencion among them selues Wherefore I shall not greatly do amysse if in this place I briefly touch which of them with other are in friendly league and likance in like sorte which of them with other are at deadly discorde and disagreement Friends to Saturne and his welwillers are Iupiter Mercury Sol and Luna his enemies are Mars and Vonus Iupiters friends are all the other only Mars excepted Mars is despised and detested of all the other except onely of Venus Sol is in great friendship with Iupiter and Venus and in greathatred with Mars Mercury and Luna Venus hath the loue of all the rest saue onely of Saturne In friendship with Mercury are Iupiter Venus Saturne his enemies are Sol Luna Mars Friends to Luna are Iupiter Venus and Saturne her enemies are Mars and Mercury Great contencion also is amongst them as they be placed in contrary house as betwene Saturne and Venus And a much more great debate or strife is betwene thē as they bee in Opposite lofte or degree in Exaltation Which thing is often shewed forth betwene Saturne and Sol Iupiter Mars Venus and Mercury And further their attonement or agreement is in lyke Nature Quality Substaunce might or powre as is of Mars and Sol Venus and Luna Iupiter and Venus In so much that it was not without iuste cause and occast in that Heraclitus sayd that al things were persited and made by a proportiō fetched from friēdship and discord By these Planets also happeneth better chaunce fortune as also mischaunce misfortune Insomuch that some of them are tearmed the Gods of grace and fortune as is Iupiter whom they name Fortuna maior the greater or more gracious Likewise Venus who in the rules of Astrologie is named Fortuna minor as if you woulde say lesse gracious and yet a Lady of grace The other are called the Gods of mishap or casuall chaunce of the which sort is Saturne whom they name Infortuna maior As also Mars which is called Infortuna minor And Mercury which is called the God of indifferency who is for al companies for with the good he is good and with the bad he is as bad Sol by his shyning Sunne beames and amiable aspecte or countenaunce is cheareful to al things but being in coniunction with other or eclypsed both hindreth much for the presēt time prognosticateth threatneth more for the future time cōming The moone is sent in message from one to another and hath hir recourse and passage by them all so that she hurteth or benefiteth as occasiō serueth by them from them By Astrologie also they haue all theyr determynate kinde As Venus and Luna are feminyne or of the woman kinde And all the other are accompted Masculine or after men They are also deuided into Planets of the day and Planets of the nighte The day Planets are Saturne Iupiter Sol Mercurie The night Planets are Mars Venus and Luna Againe they be so deuyded as that certaine of them be holden for heauy and Massie of the which sorte are Saturne Iupiter and Mars other are as subtile and light as are Venus Mercury Luna But Sol or the sunne is partaker of neither of both these properties Amongst the elementes these do also contend for the superiority For Iupiter dealeth with that commixture whych partely is of the ayer and partely of the Water Luna or the Moone exacteth that which consysteth and commeth of the Water alone Sol also helpeth forwardes the meanes or maner in doing or accōplishing of things Luna or the Moone as it were ministreth matter in such behalfes Mars and Mercury labour their proceeding going forward and doe geue them speedy and quick expedition the firste by the meanes of his force and might and the other by his aptnesse and Dexterity in deliueraunce The plenty and store of matter commeth from Venus and the continuation or wayght of any businesse whatsoeuer is proper alone to Saturne Moreouer all the Sygnes in the Zodiacall Circle doe participate and inioy the qualities of the seuen Planets As Taurus and Capricornus bee Saturnine Virgo and Libra are after Iupiter Aries and Scorpio be after Mars Cancer Leo be after Sol or the Sunne Gemini and Sagittarius be after Venus Aquarius and Pisces bee after the Moone And accordinge to the course of the Sunne Aries Taurus and Gemini doe procure a warme and moyst Spring time very good for the Sanguine Complexion and for tender age Cancer Leo and Virgo likewise

and were together by the Eares among themselues Iupiter Homog to Iupiter Homoginus When those which had taken truce with others or which were in league brake Truce and deceyued ech other Iupiter Enhorcius then they had their recourse to Iupiter Enhorcius His star is called in Greek Phaéthon And the same star of his is somewhat after a siluer colour His house is in Sagitarius Pisces his Exaltacion or ascending is in the 15. of Cancer Ionystes hovv disposed Such as are vnder the gouernment of Iupiter are outwardely of merry Countenance and of comely seemely behauiour gesture they be also louers of clenlinesse such as be fayre speached Their colour is commonly white yet stayned here there with some red among their body is well set and proportioned and their stature and height is indefferent they be also of thyn haire of great eyes and the pupill or ball of their eye exceedeth and is after a black they bee moreouer of shorte Nose curled Bearde and their fore teeth are great and long And inwardly concerning the frame or qualities of their minde they be studuous quiet well affected towards all mē but their loue is sodaynely got quickly lost againe Moreouer as cōcerning worldly benefits Iupiter aduanceth his to great Prosperity good successe much Riches high Honoure and getteth them Fauour and friendship in the Worlde and preserueth them fro the assaults of their enemies Amonge bruite beastes all such kynds are his whych in pryde of stomacke contende and striue one with another for and concerning the prerogatiue of their kynde as the Elephant and Dragon betweene whome there is continuall and deadly discorde as they that trauaile the wildernesses of Affrica Elephant Dragon and Mauritania can witnesse For the Dragon and the Elephant in their meeting purpose the death and destruction of ech other And in theyr first sighte they malice one anothers being In so much that the serpent twyning about the other with the greate length of his body and tayle styngeth him round aboute at which deadely strokes the other extreamely payned doth fall downe to the ground presently with the waight or force of which fall he both killeth himselfe or at leaste wise hurteth hymselfe very grieuously and is thereby in daūger of dying himselfe as also he presently kylleth the Dragon which is so wounde and twynde aboute his body and crusheth hym all to pieces Tyger So is the Tyger also subiecte to Iupiter in that respecte that he likewise beareth a naturall grudge and most mortall malice to the Horse And his swiftnes also in running is nothing inferiour to the others This kinde is bred most often in Hyrcania and India a wylde beast of maruallous swiftenes in running as also terrible with all in the same And the smel of the females of this kynde is also exceding wōderfull For so often as shee being forth at purueying for her younge and for her owne pray for the Male kynd thereof doth neuer a whit regard either her or her yong all this whyle and in the meane time as it cannot otherwise be it falleth so forth as that if she be robbed of any of her whelpes at her returne home againe to her Den when she perceiueth that she hath lost any of her littour she goeth forth out of her dē by and by and smelleth about which wais these should be taken and after shee pursueth that waies hastely And to auoyde the daunger of her which is but present death the partye that hath robbed her being on horsebacke for one foote he may not be for he wil then be quickly ouertaken of her turning one of them downe must yet make away as fast as euer he can and not stay til he be got on the other syde of some greate Water vnto whych place shee can not approach and she in this time makyng after at the finding of that one so caste in her way seemeth to be so glad thereof as that she presētly returneth again with al home and there hauing bestowed the same taketh againe after the other that she misseth and neuer staying till shee come at the Water where the robber in passing through escaped her fury and reuenge shee standeth at the brym or bankes of the same and roreth out very straungely So is the Vnicorne in subiectiō to Iupiter Vnicor which is also a heauy and sore enemy to the Elephant whych with her one horne whetted and filed vpon some flinte prepareth her selfe to encoūter with him And alwayes in her fighte shee striueth and laboureth very busily to pushe at the belly of the Elephant which she knoweth to be the most tender place And as concerning fowles all such kyndes be hys as are of tender and softe meate and of moste temperate bodies As is the Pheasaunt the Partriche Partrich which was sometimes dedicated to Iupiter and Latona Of all fowles the most lecherous For the cocke Partrirhe doth often destroy his mates nest and all the Egges in the same and letteth her of sytting to the intent shee should serue him at his lyste in the acte of Venery This kynde lightly breedeth and bringeth forth fifteene Egges And sitteth but seuen dayes then hatcheth There is also great wylinesse in in the olde Partryches for a man shall see them at such time as any Fawkener or other approacheth nighe vnto their Nest or place where their younge not yet rype ynough in flight be contayned and kept togeather the olde Partryches as it were yeelding themselues to the Fawkener suffering him to come nigh vpon him to the intēt that by such pollicy they may auert turne away the parties far of from happening or chauncing vpon their younge which they knowe are yet insufficent vnable to shift and prouide for themselues Doues So is the Doue in subiection to Iupiter whose kindnes to eche other as they bee matched or Mated together as it were in a certaine forme of Wedlocke euery dayes experience doth teache vs. They assist busily and help one another carefully in sitting They breede onely two Egs for the most parte first the Male secondely the Female There is no fowle more profitable or that breedeth oftner For euery springe sommer and Autumnes Monethes sauing the moneth of Iune onely excepted whych is commonly called Carlocke moneth at which time they be most vnapte and least myndfull of generation they misse not in a maner so to encrease in breeding They do lightly return and repayre home agayne how far soeuer now then notwithstanding they wāder fly vnto theyr accustomed breeding places As experience hereof was tried at the siege of Mutina Brutus sēt a letter by a Doue to the Romaine Army whereas Brutus catching one of them which vsed and kept about the castell a good way of wheras then the chiefest of the Romayne armie lay afore he let her goe he wrot an Epistle to them fastning the same about her feet
