if the Planet fall with an evil Sign then it is false likewise if Mercury be in the first the news is false but if the Moon be in the first in a feminine Sign or joined with the Lord of the ascendant in a feminine sign then the rumours are true also if good Planets be in the first fifth or ninth feminine Signs they are true but if otherwise they are not If you would know whether any one that is absent will return and when see the Lord of the Ascendant the first which if you find them together for certain he will come and is now begining his Journey Likewise if the Lord of the fifth be in the first or with the Lord of the first and if he be in his fall the messenger is sick in his way but if the Lord of the fifth be exalted then he cometh joyfully And if he be in a cadent Sign he shall be grievously afflicted with sickness or shall die If you would know if he bringeth that with him for which he went or not behold the Lord of the seventh which if he be good he bringeth that which he sought for and if he be in his fall or an evil Planet be there he bringeth nothing with him Questions of the sixth House WHether the sick shall recover his health or die If the Question be concerning his sickness see if Saturn or Mars or the Dragons Tail be in the first and whether his Lord be joined with an evil Planet then he shall die soon And if the Lord of the first be good and evil Planets be in the first with his Lord or likewise in the first or the eighth for certain he will die but if the Lord of the first be in the eighth or with the Lord of the eighth or the Lord of the eighth in the first or with the Lord of the first there is doubt of his death And if evil Planets do possess the Angles evil and destruction is threatened to the sick But if good Planets shall be in the first sixth and eighth and likewise in the Angles and the Lord of the first be from the eighth and his Lord then the sick person shall live and recover his health If you desire to know whether he will be cured by medicines give the first house of the Physician the tenth to the sick the seventh to his diseases and the fourth to the medicines If evil Planets be in the first the Physician shall profit him nothing but they testify that this will be worse for the diseased but the fortunes do signify that he shall be profitable to him And if evil Planets do occupy the tenth house the sick person is the cause for they testify that he himself is the cause of his own disease but the Fortunes being there signify the contrary But if evil Planets be in the tenth house they change the condition of the sick out of one disease into another but the Fortunes being there do deliver him without the help of Physicians or medicines Also evil Planets being in the fourth do testify that the medicines do augment his grief and the Fortunes being there do mitigate and heal him If thou wouldst know if thou shalt go unto the person and heal him consider the place then for if he shall be with Saturn Mars or the Dragons Tail or * R* with the Sun go not unto him but if Jupiter Venus or the Dragons Head be in the first or in the seventh go for it will be good and if there be the Moon with a good Planet go and give him Physic but if she shall be with an evil Planet and especially in the seventh house then thou shalt not go because thou shalt profit him nothing and if there be good Planets there go and look diligently to him where or in what members he suffers because Aries hath the head Taurus the neck Cancer the breast and lungs Leo the heart and stomach Virgo the belly and intestines Libra the reins loins Scorpio the secret members Sagittary the thighs Capricorn the knees Aquary the legs and Pisces the feet Questions of the seventh House FOR theft look unto the Lord of the seventh which if he be in the first then the theft shall be restored again but if the Lord of the first be in the seventh it shall be a long time sought after and at length shall be found but if the Moon be in the first or with his Lord it shall be found if the Moon be in the fifth or with the Lord of the first or * R* in the first it may be found but the Sun and the Moon be in the ●●fth and if the Lord of the eighth be with the Lord of the first in the first it shall be found but if the Lord of the second be in the eighth it shall not be found And if Saturn or Mars or the Dragons Tail be in the second it shall not be found nor be altogether lost And if the Lord of the second be in the first the thing that is lost shall be found but it shall not be known from whence it came If the Lord of the first be in the second it may be found after much labour And if the Lord of the second be in his fall it will never be found but if he be exalted it shall be found very well but the seventh house sheweth the thief But if you would know what it is that is stolen behold the Lord of the second which if he be Saturn it is lead iron a kettle a trivet a garment or some black thing or leather If he be Jupiter then it is some white thing as tin silver or mixt with white and yellow veins The Sun signifies gold and precious pearls Mars signifies things belonging to the fire Venus signifies things belonging to women as gloves rings and fair ornaments The Moon beasts such as horses mules c. perfumes and wars Mercury signifies money books writings pictures or garment of divers colours If you would know how many thieves there were see the Lord of the sixth which if he be in the second or with the Lord of the second there were may thieves and if they be in the third the brethren or kinsmen of the Querent have committed the theft If you would know whether the thief do yet remain in the Town if they be in succedent houses he is not gone far off but if they be in cadent houses he is far remote If you desire to know towards what Country the thief is fled see in what sign the Lord of the seventh is for if he be in Aries he is in the middle of the East part if in Taurus in the South towards the East If in Gemini in the West towards the South If in Cancer full North. If in Leo in the East towards the North. If in Virgo in the South towards the West If in Libra full West If in Scorpio in the North near
