be so she will miscarry If you would know whether a woman shall bring forth a man-child or a woman-child behold the Ascendent and his Lord which if he be masculine and in a masculine Sign or in a masculine quarter of the Figure it is a male-child but if the Lord of the Ascendent be feminine and in a feminine Sign or in a feminine quarter of the Circle it will be a woman child and so you shall consider also of the Moon Consider also if more of the Planets be in masculine Signes then it will be a male-child and if many Planets be in feminine Signes then it is a female-child And if you would know whether the child be legitimate or adulterate see if Saturn Mars or the Dragons Tail be in the fifth or with the Lord of the fifth because if it be so it is adulterate but if a good Planet shall be there it is legitimate and if the Lord of the first be in the fifth or with his Lord it is legitimate and so likewise if the Lord of the fifth be found in the first or with the Lord of the first If you desire to know whether rumours be true or false see if you finde Saturn Mars or the Dragons Tail in the Ascendent because if they be so then the rumours are false but if you finde the Sun Jupiter or the Dragons Head there then they are true and if there be masculine Planets in masculine Signes and feminine Planets in feminine Signes then they are true and if both good and evil Planets be there then they are partly true and partly false and if there be a good Sign with the Planet it testifies the truth and 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 joyned with the Lord of the Ascendent in a feminine Sign then the rumours are true also if good Planets be in the first fifth or ninth and feminine Signes 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 Ascendent and the first which if you finde them together for certain he will come and is now beginning 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 joyned 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 threatned 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 to the Physitian the tenth to the sick the seventh to his diseases and the fourth to the medicines If evil Planets be in the first the Physitian shall profit him nothing but they testifie that this will be worse for the diseased but the Fortunes do signifie that he shall be profitable to him And if evil Planets do occupy the tenth House the sick person is the cause for they testifie that he himself is the cause of his own disease but the Fortunes being there signifie 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 Physitians or medicines Also evil Planets being in the fourth do testifie 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 physick 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 stomack Virgo the belly and intestines Libra the reins and loyns 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 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 if the Sun and the Moon be in the fifth and if the Lord of the eighth be with the Lord of the first with 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

and aspects What cannot we be fortified with any thing to force and compel them to flie from us Cast Origen in his book against Celsus saith That there is no way more certain then the naming of JESVS the true God For he saith he hath oftentimes seen innumerable spirits so driven away both from the souls and bodies of men St. Athanasius in his book de variis Question testifieth that the most present remedy against the insultation of evil spirits is the beginning of the 67 Psalm Let God arise and let his enemies be scattered Cyprian in his book Quod idola dii non sint commandeth that the devils should be conjured away by the true God Some men have declared that Fire which is the most holy of all enements and the Creed and also the instrument whereon the fire was carried were very profitable for this purpose from whence in their sacrifices about the sepulchres of the dead they diligently observed the use of lights or else from thence that Pythagorus did determine that God could be in no wise truly worshipped without lights burning Some others do binde swords for this intent and purpose taking the same out of the 11 Ode of Homer where be writeth that Vlysses when he offered a sacrifice to his mothen had a sword drawn present by him wherewith he expelled and drove away the spirits from the blood of his sacrifice And in the sixth of Virgil when the Sybil led Aeneas into hell she saith thus Procul O procul esto profani Tuque invade viam vaginaque eripe ferrum Hence hence all ye prophane do thou invade The way and from 'ts confinement take thy blade Philostratus writeth that he compelled Apollonius a spirit obvious to him and his companions to fligh with contumelies and direful imprecations that the vision making a noise and with great horror vanished away from them Very many do much commend a Perfume of Calamint Plony Mint Palma Christi and Parsley to be used in this case Many do keep present with them Red Coral Mugwort Hypericon Rue or Vervin for this purpose Some do use for this business the tinkling of keys sounding of consecrated bells or the terrible ratling of Armour Poll. I have sometimes heard from our Elders that they made them Sigils inscribed with Pentagones by vertue whereof the spirits might be expelled and driven away What sayst thou to these Cast Averrois writing against Algazelus affirmeth such things to be almost nothing worth unless to them that have confederated with the spirits If therefore Averrois saith the truth how then can the devils kingdom stand divided against it self Poll. But we read that Solomon a singular man with God did make such Sigils Cast We do read truly that Solomon did make them but it was at such time when he worshipped Idols and not when he was in the state of salvation Tertullian offe●eth a more certain Antidote then all the former and exhorteth us as Job the most strong champion of God to sight against all the assaults of temptations he admonisheth us to be clothed with the silken garment of Honesty the purple-robe of Modesty and Shamefac'dness and the cloak of Patience and he perswadeth us to meditate upon all those things which the devil doth devise and invent to overthrow our integrity that his falling may be proved the glory of our constancy and that we be willing constantly to war against all machinations which are permitted by God for this end And the Prophet Jeremiah teacheth the same in these words The Lord of hosts is the approver of the just D. Maximus in his book de charitate commandeth us to binde and kill the devils He saith we do then binde them when by diligent observation of the Commandments of God we do diminish and quash those affections that do boyl up in us And we are said to kill them when we so truly mortifie our lusts that we cut him of from all occasions of accusing saying with the Prophet Depart O homicide the Lord the strong warrior is with me thou shalt fall and shalt be vanquished from me for ever Olympiadorus 10. cap. when he interpreteth the Ecclesiastical History saith That all sensual appetites are to be shut out and excluded so that the devil may not be admitted neither by the allurements of the eyes nor by itching ears nor by the petulancie and frowardness of a hurtful tongue for this he accounteth to be the most absolute seal against the power of the devils Some do admonish us in our going forth to war against the devil to use two sorts of weapons the one is pure Prayer which may raise up our affections unto heaven and true and perfect knowledge which may communicate and fill our understandings with wholesom doctrines and may suggest unto us what we are to pray for that we may pray ardently according to St. James and not doubtingly In the Prophecie of Isaiah and the Epistles of St. Paul we may finde the same things Isa 59. Eph. 6. and 1 Thess 5. which may be as a remedy against vain Ghosts that they may be expelled Poll. For a remedy against Ghosts Dost thou conceive that a Ghost is divers and different from a spirit Cast I know not truly what I may think hereof for flowing in so spacious a Sea of many opinions I am so led in doubt that I cannot easily attain to a certain Port of judgement for there are some which do suppose that these Ghosts are devils by reason of the great fear and terror wherewith they ragingly molest men by night in their houses and sometimes for their innate nature do do hurt There are others that do believe these Spirits are deceitful fantasies deceiving those that are of evil belief who by their fallacious visions and imaginations do deceive and frighten the inhabitants in their houses and do deny that they are Spirits indeed because the Spirits have a body without hands and feet wherefore they can hurt no man nor make any tumult being ignorant that the Angel who also hath a body without hands and feet did carry Habakkuk with his whole dinner by the hair of his head into Babylon and afterwards brought him back again and set him in his own place neither considering that the Spirit of the Lord also without a body snatched up Philip and carried him to Azotus that I may forbear to speak concerning a certain incorporeal Spirit which did so disquiet the house of my Grandfather that by the space of almost thirty years he caused it to be uninhabitable unless it were when a Lamp was burning therein neither did that then sufficiently quiet the same for going out of the house they did so mole●t them with stones from above in the streets that they would cast out of their hands the hearts of Pine-trees which they used for torches Concerning the Ghost that haunted the house of Anthenodorus the Philosopher and the tumultuous spirit of C. Caligula there
