VOX STELLARUM OR THE Voyce of the STARS Being a brief and easie INTRODUCTION TO THE Knowledge of the Number Names and Characters of the Planets and Signs Aspects and Anticions the Division of Heaven and how to erect a Figure thereof either by a Table of Houses or by Tables of Right and Oblique Ascentions an exact and true Description of the Planets and Signs with the Countries Cities or Towns under them LIKEWISE How to judge of the Affairs of the World by Revolutions Eclipses great Conjunctions and Blazing-Stars ALSO Something touching the Popish Plot and other Remarkable Affairs of the Year 1678. By William Knight Student in Astrology and Physick Si Deus nobiscum quis contra nos London Printed by E. T. and R. H. for Thomas Passinger at the Three Bibles on London-Bridge 1681. TO THE READER Courteous Reader THe divine and laudable Science of Astrology is a Learning that teaches by the Natures Motions Configurations Significations and Influences of the Heavens and Stars therein how to judge of future Contingencies or predict natural Events the word Astrology is derived from Astra and Logos which is as much as to say the Speech reasoning or language of the Stars and to this we find the Psalmist consent when he sings the Heavens declare the glory of God and the Firmament sheweth his handy works day unto day uttereth speech and night unto night sheweth knowledge there is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard their line is gone out through all the earth and their words to the end of the World in them hath he set a Tabernacle for the Sun which is a Bridegroom coming out of his Chamber● and rejoyceth as a strong man to run a race his going forth is from the ends of the Heaven and his circuit unto the ends of it and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof Psalm the 19.1 2 3 4 5 6. Thus being led by the signification of the word or appellation of this Noble Art unto those places of Scripture first I shall now look back to the beginning of the Holy Writ and so take along in order several portions thereof that farther prove the Stars to have influence on all sub-lunary things whether Animal Vegetable or Mineral to begin then observe And God said let there be Lights in the Firmament of the Heaven to divide the day from the night and let them be for Signs and for Seasons and for days and years And let them be for lights in the Firmament of the Heaven to give light upon the Earth and it was so And God made two great Lights the greater Light to rule the day and the lesser Light to rule the Night he made the Stars also And God set them in the Firmament of the Heaven to give light upon the earth and to rule over the day and over the night and to divide the light from the darkness and God saw that it was good Genesis the 1.14 15 16 17 18. And for the precious Fruits brought forth by the Sun and for the precious things put forth by the Moon Deuteronomy the 33.14 Again they sought from Heaven the Stars in their Courses fought against Sisera Judges the 5.20 Canst thou bind the sweet Influences of the Pleiades or loose the bands of Orion Job the 38.31 So likewise saith the Lord I will hear the Heavens and they shall hear the Earth and the Earth shall hear the Corn and the Wine and the Oyl and they shall hear Jezreel Hosea the 2.21 22. Many more places might be produced but these are sufficient to convince any sober Person that those glorious Bodies were not by their Maker placed in the Heavens only for ignorant people to gaze at but to shew forth his Almighty Power in their subordinate Rule and Government And now seeing this their Lordships is not managed by sensible and palpable acts and agitation it must needs follow that they have a secret and hidden way of Rule whereby they operate imperceptibly in all their agitations of their Dominion the Sun and Moon indeed have their palpable effects for the Sun is the Fountain of heat and that heat is the Nurse of Life also his presence and absence causeth day and night likewise his nearness to and remoteness from our Zenith together with the nature of the Parts of Heaven he passeth through causeth Summer and Winter heat and cold alteration of days and nights now the Moon seems to be as much the Fountain of moisture as the Sun is of heat as is apparent by the Tydes which constantly attend her motion and by all sorts of Shell-Fish and the eyes of Cats which are all fuller and bigger at the Full-Moon then they are at the Change or New-Moon Again it is very observable that if a man chance to fall asleep abroad in the Fields in a Moon-light night how she besots him and fills him with dulness and drowsiness but besides those palpable acts of the Sun and Moon they have their secret and imperceptible influence as the other Planets and Stars for though heat is the Nurse of Life and moisture an hand-maid to it yet it is not the mere heat which giveth life nor the mere moisture that helpeth to live for if so then might man make living Creatures artificially but this we see is past his skill to do the heat may hatch the eggs but all the art of man cannot make an egg that can be hatched No for there is a secret act of Sun and Moon besides the mere putting to of heat and moisture which produceth life both in sensitive and vegetive Animals And in these secret and insensible operations or influences of the Sun Moon and Stars besides the light which they give consists that rule which they do exercise over all the Sons of day and night so that man if he lives upon the earth must come under the touch thereof so well as Brutes and Vegetives And this Power man being unable to avoid but must in a great measure submit thereunto the Stars therefore are said to give Laws unto him and to the whole Body of Mortallity so long as the World endureth So then Astra regunt homines sed regit Astra Deus the Stars rule men but God rules the Stars Ay but hark ye say some what do you tell us of the heat and moisture of the Sun and Moon and their secret influences in producing and upholding life it is God that giveth life to all Creatures and maintains the same in them and he it is that ruleth all persons and things on earth So say we too this we know and believe only the question is how he does them whether with means or without if without means then every Child that is born every living creature that is brought forth and every Seed and Herb that grows out of the Ground comes to pass by a new creation as well as by generation for to bring things to pass without means is all
