a litle of Mercurie The Rauen after Ptholomie hath seauen stars being of the third fourth and fift bignesse which in Ptholomies time were all in Virgo in our time are in Libra hauing the quality of Saturne and Mars The cellestiall figure named the Aulter doeth Aratus place in heauen vnder that beast called the Woolfe neare to the South and standing vnder the taile of Scorpius To this figure doth Ptholomie assigne seauen stars that in his time were in Scorpio of the fourth and fift magnitude but in our time are in Sagitarius and haue the quality of Venus and a litle of Mercurie The image named the Centaur is thus described of Aratus that the parts of this image likned to the man do ly within the signe Scorpius but the hinder halfe likened to the Horse lyeth or standeth vnder the Klees And is likened to one hauing his right hande continually open towarde the round aulter And as one offering sacrifice on the aulter which sacrifice the monster holding in his right hande to offer on the aulter they call a wilde beast In that monster or Centaur named of Hyginus Chiron doth Ptholomie number 37. starres of the first second third fourth and fift magnitude which in his time were all in Libra but in our time in Libra and Scorpio The starres standing fashioned in the forme of a man haue the quality of Venus and Mars and those which represent the forme of a horse are of the nature of Iupiter and Venus The image named the celestiall Wolfe doeth the Centaur séeme to hold yet it is a seuerall constellation from the other To which Ptholomie doth assigne 19. stars being of the thirde fourth and fift magnitude that in his time were in Libra and Scorpio and in our time are all in Scorpio The celestial figure named the Riuer streached from Orion doe some name Eridanus which otherwise Padus some Gyon or Nylus and some Oceanus To this Riuer Eridanus that commeth from the left foote of Orion doeth Ptholomie giue 34. starres of the first thirde fourth and fifte bignesse that in his time were in Aries and Taurus and in our time in Aries Taurus and Gemini The last star of the 34. in the rowe of the first magnitude hath the quality of Iupiter and all the others are of the nature of Saturne The long Ship named Argo not the whole forme of it is described or seene among the stars in that it is deuided from the fore part vnto the mast that may signifie to men litle to dispayre although the Shippe happen to breake Aratus writeth that the fore halfe of Argo is turned about right with the taile of the great Dogge But in a contrary order mooued in that the fore halfe is séene and the other halfe hid much like a ship rising with the swelling of the Sea whose fore halfe is séene and the other halfe hid through that hinder parte darkned or hidde and without stars To the ship Argo doth Ptholomie ascribe 45. stars of the 1. 2. 3. 4. and 5. magnituds The greater of these in order 44. of the first bignesse is that star named of the Arabians Rubail of the Latines Canopus which standeth at the end of the Rother stéerer of the shippe that in Ptholomies time was in the 17. degrée and 10. minutes of Gemini hauing the Southerly latitude 75. degrées and the declination Southerly 51. degrées and 41. minutes And in our time is almost in the 7. degrée of Cancer hauing his latitude Southerly 75. degrees and declination of 51. degrées and 34. minutes All the other stars are of the quality of Saturne and Iupiter and were by Ptholomies time vnto our time in Gemini Cancer Leo and Virgo The celestiall Hare placed vnder the féete of Orion is as hee were running before the houndes of Orion being fained to be a hunter To this celestiall figure doth Ptholomie assigne 12. stars of the thirde fourth and fift magnitude that in his time were in Taurus and Gemini and in our time are all in Gemini and haue the quality of Saturne and Mercurie The image named Ingula and also Orion lieth thwart vnder to the section of Taurus and hath starres standing and shining before the féete of Tautus named Orion of the worde Vrina that is of the floude of waters For in the winter time when this image or constellation ariseth he troubleth both the Sea and Land with showers of raine and tempests The Romanes also name him Ingula for that he appeareth armed as girded with a sword whose shape is terrible and most cleare to be séen in the shining of the stars For if it shineth bright and cleare then doth it portend fayre weather to follow if it appeare dimme then doth it threaten a tempest to ensue The head of this signe is drawn by thrée stars of which the two cleare stars are called the shoulders betwéene which stars the necke is imagined to be ane thereof named Ingular Plinie doth often make mention of Orion as of his rising and setting whole and in some places of part as his gyrdle or sword Also he doth number Orion among the fearefull stars causing tempests To this Orion doth Ptholomie assigne 31. stars which whiles hee liued were all in Taurus and Gemini of the 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. and 6. magnitude and one cloudy The second star is of the first bignesse and the thirde is of the sedond bignesse in the order of the stars of Orion which are in the shoulders and haue the quality of Mars and Mercurie The constellation named the Zone or gyrdle of Orion hath thrée stars shining very bright of the second greatnesse in the order of the stars of Orion beeing the 26. 27. and 28.
