Divino a Governour thereof as Created in the Image of God And so I have done with the significations of the mild and gentle Planet Venus in the Nativity of this our thrice Learned Native 4. Nor were the Influences of Saturn well dignified mean or inconspicuous in this great Man's Geniture For it is very obvious to every discerning Artist that he had interspersed throughout all his Actions and Expressions the great Judgment Gravity Wisdom and Sobriety which that sober Planet is Author of He had an admirable Memory profound Cogitations and Conceptions c. which mixed with the excellent significations of a happy Mercury before spoken of gave him so great and deserved an esteem in the Breasts of the People Insomuch that all Men would willingly commence their Suits in that Court where he sat Judge And many of them who had begun in other Courts would frequently appeal to him and remove their Causes accordingly Good Lawyers coveted to Plead before him and refer themselves unto him as knowing that where a Wise and Learned Man was to direct to the conclusion of a Difference their Reasons and Arguments would never be neglected but made the best use of for a discovery of the Truth and for the honour and security of Justice But as Good Men coveted to be Judged by him so Bad Men would flie his Award and rather chuse to comprimise their Differences than stand to his Determination and Judgment As knowing him to be an Encourager of Truth and Justice and an utter Enemy to Fraud and Falshood and so in no wise fit for their turns Dost thou think good Reader that the great Trine of Saturn and Venus and the same glorious Configuration between Mars and Jupiter and Saturns platique Trine to Jove together with the fortunate Mercury as before are not of excellent signification They are great and famous Positions I assure thee And declar'd this renowned Native to be blessed with a Spirit of Discerning and with so great a portion of Judgment Reason and Courage too for a Coward dares not to be vertuous cannot be so that as he was thereby armed intellectually for to dispense Justice rightly and discover Truth nimbly So he was provided also with an Amulet of Praise-worthy and Honest-policy to prevent his being cheated with a Fallacy He would search a crafty Cause as a skilful Chirurgeon a dangerous Wound viz. to the bottom and discover the Corruption thereof to the owners shame and blushing I could relate sundry Stories of his Dextrous Sagacity did I hold it requisite or needful or yet believe that I have not said enough to prove That this worthy Man had an eminent share in the Influence of Saturn well dignified in him To conclude this Point His Saturn is assisted by Venus and his Mercury by Jupiter and Venus And if the Fortunes in any Geniture can befriend the significators of Wit and Judgment then this Honourable Native had a great advantage in both those intellectual Weapons above most Men by his Stars 5. Lastly We come to the Moon for she hath a share in the Gubernation of this worthy Natives Inclinations Actions c. together with the others mentioned For she is herein not only Angular but in her Exaltation too A Planet in his Exaltation saith Bethem is as a Person in his Castle or strong Hold and is of admirable Influence The Moon signifies the Commonalty generally And if Vox Populi be Vox Dei the love and respect of the Common People is to be preferred as eminently worthy It was from the Moons strength and Angularity as well as the Suns though I say not so much as his that this Native had so popular a Fame and Esteem attending him and she is in this Geniture a Copartner with the Sun in the presages of Popularity and Authority The Holy Scripture characters her for a Great Light made by God in the beginning And such an one she is truly in respect of us though not in her self as the Doctrine of Astronomy teaches The Books of Genethliacal Astrology relating to Honour Fame and Esteem abound with Instances of the Moon and her Significations therein That pious yet valiant Prince King Edward the Third of England had his Moon so posited and his Geniture in many respects was like this most excellent Natives I need not quote many Instances and Authorities for the proof of a thing so commonly and famously known This Nativity is rather fit for to stand as a President or Touch-stone to prove others by than to need a proof from any Albeit you see that there wants not some Genitures of the greatest among Men to parallel it I remember to have read somewhere That a Man of great Learning perusing the Works of Virgil was pleased to say That if all the Books in the World should be destroyed and Virgil only remaining there would some Vestigia of all Sciences be found therein Certain I am that if all the Nativities of worthy Men that are to be found among the Writings of Astrologers should be consumed and this one of our Reverend Natives only remaining there would be Arguments enough of Vertue and Honor of Justice Wisdom and Piety found therein as would serve to build up the whole Genethliacal Doctrine again so far as Vertue and Honor c. are therein concerned And so I conclude my Discourse of the Almutens or Governors in this Geniture I shall be briefer in the other parts of the Scheam 2. Of the Hylech in this Nativity From the Almutens we descend to a consideration of the Hylech or giver of Life And in this great Worthy's Nativity the Sun is the Planet which so governs as being placed in the Horoscope the prime Aphetical Angle of the whole Figure and the Geniture being neerly Diurnal And as the Sun just rising was the giver of Life so he did confer on this Excellent Native a splendid clear and spotless one Such a Life that nothing but the greatest Envy dares pretend in the least measure to tax or blemish And yet this Reverend Native has Scorpio for his Horoscope and the Sun that glorious Lamp and Light of Honor and true Worth posited therein What shall we say Either the Sign Scorpio is not so wicked as some People pretend it or if it be the Sun by his Horoscopical presence in this just Man's Nativity was able to dispel the Fogs and Clouds of Prejudice that are presumed naturally to attend it Which if allowed it will then follow that Scorpio hath no native Vice belonging to it for Essences cannot be permuted the Leopard and his Spots must keep together nor is it so bad but that it can admit of a mitigation possibly a total alteration from what some proclaim it chargeable withal by an innate right and property And if an allay in any sence be permitted as proper to the Sign Scorpio may we not reasonably indulge the same to any other Sign of the Zodiack And then who is there that will doubt
