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

hell she saith thus Procul O procul este profani Tuque invade viam vaginaque eripe ferrum Hence hence all ye profane do thou invade The way and from'ts confinement take thy blade Philostratus writeth that he compelled Apollonius a spirit obvious to him his companions to flight 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 Piony mint Palma Christi 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 rattling of Armour Poll. I have sometimes heard from our Elders that they made them Sigils inscribed with Pentapentagones by virtue whereof the spirits might be expelled and driven away What sayst thou to these Cast. Averrois writeth against Algazelus affirmed 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 d●vils kingdom stand divided against itself Poll. But we read that Solomom 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 worshiped Idols and not when he was in the state of salvation Tertullian offered a more certain antidote than all the former and exhorteth us as Job the most strong champion of God to fight against all the assaults of temptation he admonisheth us to be cloathed with the silken garment of honesty the purple robe of modesty and shame-facedness 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 bind and kill the devils He saith we do then bind them when by diligent observation of the Commandments of God we do diminish and quash those affections that do boil up in us and we are said to kill them when we so truly mortify our lusts that we cut him off 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 petulancy and frowardness of an 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 wholesome 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 Prophecy of Isaiah and the Epistles of St. Paul we may find the same things Isai. 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 diverse 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 judgment 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 to 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 or 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 molest them with stones from above in the streets that the 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 may more be spoken but thou hast understood the relations of them already in the foregoing discourse From all which we may easily convince the opinions of those who deny that the spirits can walk or make any motion but of how much truth we may hold the assertions of them who do suppose that these tumultuous spirits are neither devils nor phantasms but the souls of the dead now hearken unto Poll. Are there they who are of that opinion Cast. There are they who are of both opinions for they do declare that these are the souls of them who have departed from their bodies laden clogged in their sins which are therefore heard to be more or less turbulent in houses according as they have any sensible ardent spark of that sin more or less so that except in the mean time they are expelled and driven away from thence or expiated by Alms or intercessions they are compelled to a certain bound or liberty wandering thereabouts in expectation of the last Judgment Poll. Wherefore Cast. Because I believe that the souls of them which sleep in Christ do live with Christ do not wander about the earth and the souls of them who are oppressed and burthened with the grievous weight of their Sins since they are the members of Satan are bound with Satan in the chains of darkness expecting judgment in hell Poll. But Firmianus a Writer of no mean judgment thinketh the contrary in his Book which he hath written de devino
