Quoniam Mars in quarta loco Caeli nonsolum ostendit haec enim vero demonstrat quod in bello plerumque infelices erunt in Pacis tempore fortunatissimi si superavint haec tempora 1583. 1585. 1603. 1607. 1625. 1666. 1691. 1699. 1770 1880. Praeterea spicam Virginis cum Saturno qui ex diametro respicit Solem Dicimus significare quod non transibunt Anni 52. quod Civitas haec manebit in Terra Vt declaratur à Luca Gaurico his versibus Virginei partus seclis bis Octo peractis Epilogo Emergens faecunde Colonis Praebebit miseris alimenta à frugibus altis Nec Pisces Nautae capient in littore sicco Sed varios puere stores gramina pingues Laeta boves hasta non remis pulchrae juventus Certatim ludent mestu spectante Senatu § 115. Sure my worthy Antagonist will not now persist in his Opinion but believe with me that it is not possible for Astrologers to speak against Themselves and Science together He may now most plainly see that the most Learned and Judicious Astrologers even his own selected Ones do not refuse to ascert the Doctrine of Genitures because of the Genitures of Buildings I wonder much why so Learned a man as he in other things hath shewn himself I mean in his Discourse of Comets should offer to obtrude so strange a Paradox to say no worse of it upon the World If yet this be not of power sufficient to convince him and I am sure half so much in the like case would have struck me Dumb He may be further satisfied by a sight of sundry other Nativities of Cities Forts Castles c. with Judgements on them given by Gauricus Iunctinus Garcaeus c. Of which our before quoted Learned Gregory hath also taken notice § 116. I think there is but very little more for me to reply unto or that I stand particularly chargable with by the Pen of my Opponent So that I may with freedom come to the second thing promised for the support and Honour of the Energy and Influence of Cardinal Signs which they are by experience found to have over Men. And this shall be as I promised by Ten several experimental proofs in the Genitures of as many Remarkable and Prodigious Natives in their kinds for all of them stand not on the same Level which I esteem little less than Demonstrative of the Truth they are brought to prove For the Learned Author of the Leviathan however he may have been mistaken in some things is most certainly in the right when he affirms all Knowledge to be nothing but a Train of Experiences § 117. The Genitures which I shall select for this particular Service from among many others shall be these Ten following 1. Carolus Gustaevus King of Sweden 2. The Great Duke of Guise 3. Arch-bishop Laud. 4 Lord Treasurer Clifford 5. Mr. Thomas Hobbs 6. Mr. H. Burton C. C. Oxon. 7. Michael Nostradamus 8. Gregory Lopez the Hermit 9. Sir Theodore Mayerne 10. Oliver Cromwell § 118. VVhere by the way I must beg my Adversaries Pardon if I suite them not to his mind for my business in these matters is not Heraldry but a proof of the thing in Question I Study Truth not Titles The Scepter and the Spade in this case are equal to me And a Poor Hermit is as serviceable to my purpose as a Prince Bishop or Philosopher § 119. But before I begin I must presume to acquaint my Opponent that it was not my Work but His to SUITE Gustavus Adolphus with Cicero Arch-bishop Laud and Oliver Cromwell I very well knew that Gustavus Adolphus had not all the Cardinal Signs upon the Angles of his Geniture and therefore He could not SUITE to my purpose in that case But Carolus Gustavus His Nephew had them so and He it was that I mention'd and not the Other As may be seen in my Collectio Geniturarum fol. 89. The very place which this my Antagonist is offended at though it be not quoted by him Of this Errour therefore my Adversary if he be not a Presbyterian must needs Repent I. CAROLUS GUSTAVUS King of Sweden § 120. THis great Prince his Geniture doth not meanly plead for the Honour and Power of Cardinal Signs upon the Angles of a Nativity Not only as the Native from a Private Gentleman in a manner came to be advanced to the Honour and Power of a Throne or Kingdom as he was and that by a strange accident too viz. By the Resignation of Queen Christina of Sweden his Uncles Daughter It is not an ordinary or common thing for Princes to part with their Scepters or Diadems but also for his extraordinary Prowess aud ever to be admired Acts in War against the Kings of Poland and Denmark Duke of Brandenburgh States of Holland c. all at a time He was esteemed for the space he Reigned the Scanderbag of Christendom and put it into many terrible Feaverish Fits He came to the Crown in Iune 1654. And in February 1659. He died in the Island of Funen His Empire was but short yet very violent and his Story will ever remain the wonder of Princes and Learned Men. 'T is none of my business here to Register all his Stupendious Acts. 'T is sufficient they were Cardinal and like those Signs possessing the Angles of his Illustrious Geniture II. The Great Duke of GUISE § 121. IF my Reader be desirous to acquaint himself with the Glorious Heroick and Daring Actions of this Great Prince the better to see and consider thereby how they are answer'd in a great measure by the Cardinal Signs on all the Angles of his Geniture He may read them at large in his Memoirs Printed and Published in the English Tongue some years since and commonly to be had among the Booksellers I mention it only for a proof of the thing in question and to fortifie the Aphorism impugned by my Antagonist But this not to exclude the Force and Power of other eminent Arguments very observable therein Here are you see no less than three Planets in Cardinal Signs besides their possession of the Angles The Sun is in his exaltation in Horoscopo in Sextile to the Moon Saturn is in Aries in Sextile of Luna likewise And benign Iupiter is with spica Virginis All which have eminent signification of wonderful Actions and with the other render the Nativity Stupend and Prodigious and so were the Life and Actions of this Valliant and puissant Prince III. The most Reverend Arch-bishop LAUD § 122. THis Excellent Prelate and most Pious Martyr of the Church the great promoter of Learning as may be seen by his many Noble Gifts to the Vniversitiy of Oxford and Envy of an enraging Multitude was born for Great and Glorious Actions and to arrive at great Dignity which he did though but of mean Descent and Parentage agreeable to the Cardinal Signs on the Angles of his Scheme Never was any Reverend worthy Man more Teaz'd and Worried than

any of the rest I have produced This Prodigious Native had all the Angles of his Scheme adorn'd with Cardinal Signs His mean Birth I speak in comparison of the Grandeur he rose to for otherwise it was not mean and wonderful Advancements are sufficiently known and I think I may say will scarce ever be forgotten I shall speak little more of this Stupendious Geniture but refer my Reader to what I many years since have wrote and published thereof in my Collection of Genitures And so I conclude this my Denary Circle of instances for proof of the Argument contended against yea even Laughed at by my Antagonist And do from all of them affirm it for a natural Truth and no Laughing matter or Trifle by my Opponents Favour That Cardinal Signs on the Angles of a Nativity do ever denote persons so Born to be Famous and that publickly too in one Kind or Other § 133. In the room of these Ten Genitures I could have produced many Scores of the same kind had it been necessary so to have done But these are super-sufficient to support the matter in question if any thing at least will satisfie some sort of Men. For in every One of these Natives you will find something or other very Eminent and perhaps Prodigious I. Carolus Gustavus King of Sweden was Eminent in his coming to the Crown and then proved a great Warriour and a most vigilant Active Prince II. The Duke of Guise was a Prince of most Eximious Valour and of Stupendious Daring attempts See his Memoirs III. Arch-bishop Laud a most profound Schollar a most Pious Prelate and a Glorious Martyr The Breath of an inraged Multitude ruin'd Him IV. The Lord Treasurer Clifford raised by his Merits An Excellent Statesman an Honourable Councellor and a Faithful Loyal Subject V. Mr. Thomas Hobbs an admirable Philosopher and wonder of his Age. Refused Honours and Preferments In his Life somewhat Hermetical VI. Mr. Henry Burton a Living Library an Vniversity of Learning No Art or Science was he stranger to as his Learned Book proves VII Michael Nostradamus a great Philosopher and Physician a Man of most Miraculous and Amazing Notions VIII Gregory Lopez an Hermit and a wonderful example of Piety Obedience Charity and contempt of the World IX Sir Theodore Mayerne an Excellent Physician and a sufferer for being one of the first that made known the Noble Art of Chymistry X. Oliver Cromwell Famous by his Rebellion as was ingeniously observed by the Learned Olearius in his Letter to my Honoured Friend and Patron Sir Edward Dering when he return'd him this Nativity in requital for his Civility in imparting the King of Swedens c. The words of his Letter animadverting upon this Nativity are These ♂ in Horoscopo sub finem proprii signi stimulavit hominem ad arma capienda etiam contra Superiores ausu Saturnino ob oppositionem ♄ aperuitque homini viam ad tantum gravitatis fastigium So that it appears that this Learned man who was excellently Skill'd in Astrology as well as all other parts of Learning took notice of that remarkable ☍ of ♄ and ♂ from Cardinal Signs on the prime Angles of his Geniture made the more Famous by ♃ his being in a Cardinal Sign also in □ to them both § 134. I could I say again for these X. Genitures have produced you as many Scores and all of them of Cardinal Signs on all the Angles and all belonging to Men of Fame Good or Bad. In which number I might have shewn you the Notorious Nativities of the Salamanca Doctor Captain Bedloe Tom. Dangerfield Peter Gill Sir William Wallers Constable with a great number of other such profligate Wretches But I was loath to Nauseate my worthy Readers Eyes with their Schemes or their Ears with their horrid Stories And yet I must tell you that even Wicked as well as Worthy Instances prove the Argument in Question § 135. Now I say it here again unless my Antagonist will be pleas'd to produce or indeed can produce as many Nativities known to be true as these I assure him are to a very small matter if not absolutely so Of persons Born with the Cardinal Signs on all the Angles That have not been Famous in their Lives and Actions in One kind or Other and that to popular Notice He must needs yield the Argument and own the virtue of Cardinal Signs chiefly when posited upon the Angles of a Nativity § 136. And here I had resolv'd to have lain down my Pen but finding how my Antagonist magnifies himself against Astrologers very unreasonably in p. 161. I held my self constrain'd to make some further reply to him He says The pretenders to Astrology go beyond the Wisest Patriachs and Founders of their Art They exceed the Limits of their Science and Sentence is passed against them by their own Iudges And to prove this he vouchsafes to name two of Them viz. Ptolemy and Iunctinus You may remember I have but a little before refuted my Opponents Opinion of these two Learned Persons touching their denying the Doctrine of Genitures I shall now enquire what farther service or assistance they are able to afford him for the strengthening his present pretences § 137. Ptolemy saith this Gentleman tells us in his first Aphorism That Generals only can be foretold by Art and those alone who are Divinely inspired are able to praedict particular Events An Astrologer may tell the Propension and Inclination of a Man from his natural Temperature and this from the Stars But he cannot from that general Inclination tell what determinate Effects will ensue He ought to content himself with a general Iudgment and not be definitive in special cases in particular and individual accidents This saith he is the Decision of the great Father of Astrologers Unto all which I do not know one Astrologer that will not most readily set his Hand and Seal And how then can this make against Astrologers or any way favour their Adversaries Cause § 138. Why says my Oponent it makes against the Doctrine of Horary Questions which descend even to the most particular and personal Affairs He goes on If this Doctrine of Ptolemy's be true what resolution is to be expected about the Marriage of such an Individual Couple The particular Events of this Famous Voiage That Councellors Cause This Merchants Adventure That Souldiers Engagement c. And why did not he put in of that Patients Distemper too Which sure he would have done but that he had before granted That the careful observing and due attending of the Times of the Heavenly Aspects and Influences are very useful in Physick p. 117. And how can they be useful in Physick I pray and not in other Affairs relating to Health or Profit Since the times of the Aspects and Influences are Vniversally Operarive and may as well and as certainly be observed in These as in the other Heaven hath as many Salutiferous Aspects and Influences as it hath
