I. IT is a palpable and apparent truth that God carries men to the principles of grace by the Book of the Creatures For this beginning of Abraham Avenezra an Arabian Physician and a singular Astrologer whom the Ptiests of our times call a Heathen savoureth of the things beyond Heathenisme for in this Treatise of Criticall dayes he begins thus I intreat the Lord God that he would enlighten my heart with his light and truth so long as my Spirit remaines in me for his light is very delightfull and good for the eye of my soule to see by for so shall the night be enlightned to me as the day neither shall the clouds shadow it it shall not be like the light of the Sun by day because it shall not be clouded nor like the light of the Moon because it shall never be diminished as her light is God hath made these lights as he hath made man and he appointed the greater light to rule the day and the lesser to rule the night hence it appeares the Sun was made to rule the day and not to give light to it onely as the Priests affirme and the Moon was made to rule the night not to give light to it onely as appears Gen. 1. because she hath no light to give also he hath made the whole host of heaven the fixed Stars and Planets and gave them vertues together with the Luminaries but their vertues are not so great as the vertues of Luminaries are neither is the vertue of the Moon so great as the vertue of the Sun because she borrowes her light from the Sun also the whole host of heaven that is the fixed Stars move all in the same Sphere and therefore their distance is always the same the one from the other and their latitude is alwayes the same but it is not so with the Planets for their course is various and so is their distance the one from the other and so is their latitude for sometimes they are upon the Ecliptick sometimes North from it sometimes South sometimes Retrograde sometimes direct sometimes in conjunction one with another sometimes in opposition sometimes in other aspects the reason of this is because the Sphere of one is lower then the Sphere of the other and the lower the Sphere is the sooner they make their revolution The neerest to the eart of all the Planets is the Moon and therefore her course is swiftest and besides her difference in longitude and latitude there happen other accidents to her which are not visible to other Planets for sometimes she increaseth sometimes decreaseth and sometimes she is invisible or faileth in light the reason why the Planets are not seen horned as the Moon is because their distance is greater from us all the Planets seem biggest when they are at their greatest distance from the Sun or when they are neerest to the earth according to Copernicus also sometimes the Moon is Eclipsed but not in the same manner as the Sun for the Sun never looseth its light but is onely shadowed from a particular people or place by the body of the Moone but the Moon Eclipsed totally looseth her light and the reason is the Suns light is his owne but the Moon is a borrowed light This being premised consider that all things under the Moon universally whether men beasts or plants are changed and never remaine in the same state neither are their thoughts and deeds the same take counsell of your head and it will certifie you what I speake is true and they are varied according to the various course and disposition of the Planets look upon your owne genesis and you shall find your thoughts moved to choler so often as the Moon transites the place where the body or aspect of Mars was in your genesis and to melancholy when she doth the like to Saturne the reason is because the Moon is assimilated to the body of man whose vertue as well as her light increaseth and diminisheth for she brings downe the vertue of the other Planets to the creatures and to man if he lives upon the earth The Sun causeth heat and cold day and night Winter and Summer when he arives to the house of his honor or exaltation to wit Aries then the trees spring living creatures are comforted the birds sing the whole creation rejoyceth and sicknesses in the body show themselues in their colours also when he arrives at his fall to wit Libra the leaves of the trees fall all creatures are lumpsh and mourne like the trees in October Also anothes notable experiment is usualy sick people are something eased from midnight to noon because then the Sunne is in the ascending part of the heaven but they are most

was the cause of it perhaps a surfeit by drinking If Venus be Lady of the 6th 't is women or it may be sports and pastimes or such gewgaies as Venus delights in you know how to judge of the rest of the Planets according to their severall natures 10. If the Lord of the sixth apply to the Quartile or Opposition of the Lord of the ascendent the disease increaseth and is not yet come to his height I confesse this and many other Aphorismes hereabouts belong not at all to the Decumbitures but to questions upon Urine and most of them if not all of them will hold true in them also 11. The Lord of the 6th and 8th is but a scurvy unlucky signe and shews the sicknesse will end in death if it be in the 4th it shews the sicknesse will end in the Grave 12. The Lord of the 6th and the 12th cryes aloud that the Patient opposeth his own health 13. The Lord of the 8th in the 6th and the Lord of the 6th in the 8th if they be in friendly aspect the sick soon recovers 14. I confesse the former Aphorisme seems a paradox to me I should rather think sicknesse and death had made a match together to take away the life of the Patient and shall do so still till I have spoken with Doctor Experience about it 15. If there be an Opposition Sextile or Trine between the Lord of the sixth and Jupiter the sick soon recovers for Jupiter will handle him without mittons and 't is very probable Venus will not come much behind them in the businesse 16. Even in such a case Jupiter be in the ninth House the sicknesse comes by reason of some Physick formerly taken which will at last much conduce to the Patients health I doubt my Author mistooke the ninth House for the tenth did I say I doubted it nay I know it It is the tenth house that it is the house of Physick and not the ninth 17. A malevolent in the 6th is an ill signe but a benevolent there is as good a one for all that 18. The Lord of the 12th and the 6th shews Witch-craft or possession by the Devil that 's as bad and if he be a malevolent you may take it for granted 't is as sure as a club 19. The Lord of the ascendent in the 6th and the Lord of the 6th in the ascendent shews long diseases and such as will continue till one of them if not till both of them make his exit out of the signe he is in 20. If in such a case the malevolent cast ill aspect to her bid her Physitian use his wits as far as he can though the fear of death is not small 21. The Lord of the Ascendent and 6th house in Quartile Opposition or Conjunction in such degrees as Artists call Azemini and in Angles threatens such perpetuall pain which none but Doctor Death is likely to cure 22. The Lord of the 6th in the ascendent shewes the disease will continue long enough nay longer then 't is welcome but it doth not signifie the sick must needs dye for that belongs to the 8th house and his Lord 23. 'T is no good signe of quick recovery when the Lord of the 6th house is a malevolent 24. If the Sun Moon and Lord of the ascendent be free from ill beams of ill Planents and apply to fortunes that are any thing strong and like to do good the cure will come as soon as you can in reason hope for it 25. T is alwaies bad when the Sun moon or Lord of the ascendent apply to the Lord of 6th 8th or 12th houses and t is not a whit better if they be Lord of those houses 26. It is an exceeding good signe at the beginning of a sicknesse if neither the Lord of the ascendent Sun nor Moon behold the Lord of the 6th or 8th houses 27. It s very ill when the Lord of the ascendent is afflicted namely if he be retrograde or in an ill house in his detriment or fall or besieged the malevolents All houses which behold not the ascendents are ill houses namely the 6th 8th and 12th I will take no notice at all of the second in this case because it is succeeding to the first but the 7th shall not scape so because it opposeth the ascendents it is very bad when the Lord of the ascendent is there 28. In such cases t is true the disease may happily be cured if good courses be taken but either a relapse into that disease is to be feared or else the disease is subject to a change out of that disease into another as bad whereby the sick is in danger of death unlesse in the mean season the Lord of the ascendent grows stronger for the stronger he is the better able he is to preserve life 29. The Lord of the ascendent infortunated by the Lord of the 6th though he be but in his terme prolongs the sicknesse 30. If the Lord of the ascendent be infortunated by the lord of the 8th gives feare enough that none but death can end the quarrel between the sick and the sicknesse 31. If the lord of the ascendent be slow in motion the sicknesse will be as slow in the parting and slower if Saturn be lord of the ascendent but if the lord of the ascendent be swift in motion according to the haste he maks such speed you may expect of the disease 32. The lord of the ascendent angular and strong and no way impedited let the disease be never so violent the feare of death is more then the harme 33. The lord of the ascendent entring into another signe though it be out of his own house into another provided it be not into the house of the lord of the 6th 8th or 12th the disease soon ends in health if it be into the house of the lord of the 8th the sick dyes at the time if it be into the house of the lord of the 6th the sicknesse is increased if into the house of the lord of the twelfth the sicke either keeps ill dyet or is unruly or is mad to takes supper in another word in such a case he that will not be ruled by reason must be ruled by force 34. If the lord of the ascendent be weak of himself yet if he joyned to a fortune the recovery will be very speedily for if the fortune be any thing strong he will helpe it forward with tooth and naile 35. The lord of the ascendent the Sun or the moon joyned to an infortune prolongs the disease and the weaker they are the longer is the disease like to last 36. If the significator of the disease be in a signe of the nature of the disease for example suppose the disease proceeds of melancholy if the significator be in an earthly signe it exceedingly prolongs the disease judge the like by the rest of the humours in such cases the cure is exceeding difficult vis unita fortior 37.

troubled when he is descending that is from noon to mid-night The course of the Moon is to be observed in many operations both in the Sea and Rivers Vegetables Shel-fishes as also in the bones and marrow of men and all creatures also seed sowne at the waine of the Moon grows either not att all or to no purpose Also wise men have experiences of many vertues of the Starres and have left them to posterity and Physicians in old time when they were minded to be honest have found out the changes and terminations of diseases by the course of the Moon Wherefore the 7 14. 20 or 21. 27 28 or 29. dayes of sicknesses are called Criticall dayes which cannot be known but by the course of the Moone for let not your braine rest in the number of the days because the Moon is sometimes swifter sometimes slower As for such diseases as do not terminate in a month I meane a Lunar Month viz. the time the Moon traceth round the Zodiack which is 27 dayes some odd hours some few minutes you must judge of these by the course of the Sun the day is not called Critical because it is the seventh day from the decumbiture as if the vertue lay in the number 7. but because the Moone comes to the quartile of the place she was in at the decumbiture it s no matter whether it be a day sooner or later Whe she comes to the opposition of the place she was in at the day of the decumbiture she makes a second Crisis the third when she comes to the second quartile and the fourth when she comes to the place she was in at the decumbiture and it s well she can make so many being The reason of the difference of the Moons motion in the difference of her distance from the Earth for when the center of her circle is nearest to the center of the Earth she is swift in motion and hence it comes to passe that sometimes she moves more then 15 degrees in 24 houres sometimes lesse then 12. therefore if she be swift in motion she comes to her owne quartile in six days if slow not in seven therefore must you judge according to the motion of the Moon and not according to the number of the dayes Know then that the Crisis ' viz. upon a Criticall day the Moon being well aspected by good Planets it goes well with the sick if to ill Planets it goes ill but I know you would be resolved in one particular which is if the Crisis depend upon the motion of the Moone and her aspect to the Planets What is the reason if two men taken sick at one and the same time that yet the Crisis of the one fals out well and not so in the other I answer The vertue working is changed according to the diversity of the vertue receiving for you all know the Sun makes the clay hard and the wax soft it makes the cloth white and the face black so then if one be a child whose nature is hot and moist the other a young man and the third an old man the Crisis works diversty in them all because their ages are different Secondly the time of the yeare carries a great stroke in this businesse if it be in the Spring time diseases are most obnoxious to a child because his nature is hot and moist a diseale works most violently with a cholorick man in Summer with a melancholy man in Autumne with a flegmatick by reason of age or complexion in Winter Thirdly To this I adde suppose at the beginning of a disease the Moon was in the place of Mars in the genesis whose nature is hot and dry if the disease be of heat it mightily aggravates it not so if it be of cold and you shall seldome find two men that had Mars at one and the same place in the genesis at one and the same time fall sick and the disease differ either at the middle or at the end Quest Put the case the age of the people and the season of the yeare be the same and the disease be the same would the Crisis be the the same yea or no I answer thus Their complexions may be different the one hot and dry the other cold and moist If the diseases be hot and dry the effect will not be so violent upon a cold and moist body as it will be upon a hot and dry the fire will sooner seize upon that which is hot and dry then that which is cold and moist 2 Imagine the complexions to be the same upon both parties I Answer That is impossible there must be some difference upon complexions for though they may be the same in the universall yet in particulars there must needs be some difference by reason of their different dyet exercise and climate unlesse they be borne and brought up altogether under one latitude 3 Let us imagine they be all alike yet divers things may intervene and alter the Crisis their nativities may not agree for example If the Moon be in the place of Saturne or Mars in the nativity the disease is dangerous not so if she be in the place where Jupiter or Venus was in then or its possible Jupiter or Venus may hurt in the Nativities of such to whose ascendents they are inimical or posited in the six t or eight houses 4. Again Saturn may be Lord of the one nativity and not of the other and then he may hurt the one and not the other whose nativity he is Lord off for the Devill will not hurt his owne the like of Mars Innumerable such things may be added as that the one may provide for the sicknesse before hand not the other but it is needlesse Object But then you will say there can be no certainty at all found in the Crisis I answer Astrologers passe judgement two manner of wayes in diseases The First we call Universall and so Saturn rules Consumptions Mars Feavers Venus over women Mercury over Schollers The Second is particular and so the Seventh house hath dominion over women the ninth over Schollers Now no particular can destroy a universal for example if Venus be ill seated in a nativity and the Lord of the Seventh well seated we say the native shall generally incur evill by women though some particular good may incur from them in like manner judge in this case by the generall significators of sicknesse viz. Saturne and Mars But Secondly if you can possibly get the Nativities you shall not erre And now give me leave to quote one experiment of my own If the Nativities be one and the same the Crisis will be one and the same For example I know three Children borne at one and the same time as the event proved at five yeares of age they all three had Convulsions whereby they were each of all three lame of one leg the boyes on the right legg and the girls on the left at fourteen yeares of age they

He is a wise Physician that can remedy them but he is wise that can anticipate them 26 The Moon in the fourth house with the body square opposition or antiscion of Mars soon brings a man to his last inheritance the Grave she threatens it if she be there no way afflicted unlesse she be very strong 27 As I have judged by the Moon so judge by Mars if you find him for if he being there have any dignities in the ascendent he will urge a man as fast to his grave as ever sleep urged him to bed 28 Saturne opposite to the Lord of the eighth house threatens danger enough to the ficke 29 The Moon in Conjunction with Mars in the fourth house will send the sick to take a supper in another world though both their fortunes stand and look upon him 30 The Moon in the ascendent if you will believe Authors alwayes hurts and they give some shew of reason of it because there she hath most power over the body of the sick Yet mine owne opinion for the present is that if she be there and in Cancer or Taurus she will rather helpe then hinder the sick If the Moon doe hate the ascendent as Authors say I suppose the reason to be because Saturn loves it And then she hates the eighth and twelfth houses by the same rule And if you wil call yourwits into examination they will tell you it is true enough 31 If the Moon be in the a cendent and the signe ascending of a contrary nature to her it is a hundred to one that the sicke die not of that disease And here my Author spoke something to the purpose If the former Aphorisme made a discord in your braine this if rightly understood will reduce them to a harmony 32 The Moon applying to the body of the Sun within twelve degrees at the Decumbiture the sicknesse comes not so much to terrifie your body as to give you warning of your end And the neerer the Moon is to the body of the Sun the speedier dispatch will death make of the body of his captive 33 The Moon besieged by the bodies of the malevolents positive between the Sun and one of them the hopes of life are very small or none at all 34 Authors say That if a man or woman fall sick when the Moon is going out of combustion their sicknesse will increase till she comes to the opposition of the Sun And if then she meet with an ill Planet the sick recovers if not they die For mine own particular I speake no more then I have found by continuall experience I have often found this false and never true 35 If the Sun or Moon be Lord of the house at the decumbiture and behold the Lord of the eighth the sicknesse is sent to proclaime the approach of death 36 It is very bad when the Moon carries the light of the lord of the ascendent to the lord of the eighth it threatens death but it does not so in all diseases neither for example in such as come and goe by fits as Agues falling sickness c. you may make this use of it that none are fit to make Physicians but such as are intimately acquainted with Madam Nature and her eldest son Dr. Reason 37 It is extreame bad when the Moon applies to any star in the eighth as bad as when she applies to the lord of the eighth himselfe 38 The Moon cumbust in the eighth in Leo threatens death sayes my Author and so the truth is she doth if she be cumbust in any other house or signe unlesse she separate from the body of the Sun 39 The disease will appeare little otherwise then the fore-runner of death if the Moon be in Libra and Jupiter and Venus in conjunction he that knowes any thing in Physick that he should know knows the reason well enough 40 The Moon with the Pleiades and the Aries or with any other violent fixed star shewes danger of death 41 The Moon applying to her own Nodes namely the head and taile of the Dragon is very bad but not so bad if she separate from them 42 It is very bad when Saturne is in his Apogeon or neer it if the disease come of retention 43 Judge the like by Mars if the disease be a Feaver or proceed of choler and here you have another instructer to teach you knowledge the neerer a planet is to the earth the more stoutly will he maintaine and increase the humours he governes 44 It is a very bad signe if not disperate if there be an Ecclipse of either Luminary upon a criticall day and if it misse a day of it it will breake no squares in such a case the time of the Ecclipse hath to my knowledge anticipated the time of the Crisis a whole day naturall and proved mortall too as I have had experience in Essex in the latter end of October 1649. Thus have I given you the signs of death by Astrology I do not say absolutely a man must needs dye when any of these signs appeare but this I say the danger of death is much I advise the Physician to have a care what he doth let him advise with nature and her two sons Doctor Reason and Doctor Experience let him have some brains in his head and not all in his books let the Patient provide for a change and make his peace with God and set his house in order and then hath he the lesse need to care whether he live or dye One Chapter of Noel Duryet which is the last and contains certain observations taken out of Cardanus and other expert Physicians which at first I intended to translate but finding them very imperfect I thought good to forbeare for wanting an Ephemerides of that age to perfect them my selfe I thought better to leave them quite out then trouble this prying age with imperfections Presages of life and death by the body of the patient being sick Two wayes did the famous Hippocrates leave to posterity for they judging of the life and death of sick people one by the Celestiall aspects of the Planets and the other by the Symptoms of the body of the man lying sick The latter of these must first be performed the profit of which for 't is good for something according to Hippocrates is first the credit of the Physitian so first of all he hence avoid defamation evill speeches and reproaches the world shall never say he is a Dunce 2. It will better his own knowledge he need not apply living medicines to a dying man Secondly for the profit of the sick hereby you may give them warning of death before it comes and they will the more confidently commit themselves to the hands of a Physitian when they know he knows something If the credit of Hippocrates may passe for starling he protest's that what I here write was confirmed in all his practises in Ethiopia Lybia Mauiritania the Isle of Delos Schythia and Italy
