fair Venus Grove Stealing by night do thither come and love With those bright sanguine Dreams to pass away The hours of night in sport and amorous play Chollerick Complexion There Dreams of Choller in a flamelike hue Through th' Aire like little fiery Meteors flue With swift and angry motion to and fro As if they sought within that place a foe Sometimes up to the Temples roof on high They soar as if they meant to scale the sky Or some impossible Atchievment sought T' allay the thirst of an aspiring Thought Melancholick Complexion But down below with sad and heavy cheer On dead mens Tombs and every Sepulcher The dusky Dreams of Melancholy light With sable wings like Bats or birds of night Fluttering in darkest corners here and there But all alone and still each other fear Courting dead Skuls and seeming to invite The dismal Ghosts for Company by night Phlegmatick Complexion There all along the Temples whited Wall Phlegmatick lazy Dreams not wing'd at all But slow like slimy Snails about do crawl And evermore are thence afraid to fall And so be drown'd for on the floor below They do suppose great Pools of water flow And thus much for Imagination which is governed by Mercury and fortified by his Influence and is also strong or weak in man according as Mercury is strong or weak in the Nativity Judgment is seated in the midst of the Brain to shew that it ought to bear rule over all the other Faculties it is the Judge of the little world to approve of what is good and reject what is bad it is the seat of Reason and the guide of Actions so that all failings are committed through its infirmity it not rightly judging between a real and an apparent good It is hot and moist in quality and under the influence of Iupiter Memory is seated in the hinder cell of the Brain it is the great Register to the little World and its Office is to Record things either done and past or to be done It is in quality cold and dry Melancholick and therefore generally Melancholick men have best Memories and most tenacious every way It is under the dominion of Saturn and is fortified by his Influence but purged by the Luminaries 2. Sensitive The second part of the Animal Vertue is Sensitive and it is divided into two Darts Common and Particular Common Sence is an imaginary term and that which gives Vertue to all the particular Sences and knits or unites them together within the pia Mater It is Regulated by Mercury perhaps this is one Reason why men are so fickle-headed and its Office is to preserve a harmony among the Sences Particular Sences are Five Seeing Hearing Smelling Tasting Feeling These Sences are united in one in the Brain by the Common Sence but are operatively distinguished into their several seates and places of Residence The Sight resides in the Eyes and particularly in the Christalline Humor It is in quality cold and moist and governed by the Luminaries They who have them weak in their genesis have alwayes weak sights if one of them be so the weakness possesseth but one Eye The Hearing resides in the Ears is in quality cold and dry Melancholly and under the dominion of Saturn The Smelling resides in the Nose is in quality hot and dry Chollerick and that is the reason Chollerick Creatures have so good Smels as Doggs It is under the Influence of Mars The Taste resides in the Pallat which is placed at the root of the Tongue on purpose to discern what food is congruous for the Stomack and what not as the Meseraik Veins are placed to discern what nourishment is proper for the Liver to convert into Blood in some very few men and but a few and in those few but in a very few Meats these two Tasters agree not and that is the reason some men cover Meats that make them sick viz. The Taste craves them and the Meseraik Veins reject them In quality hot and moist and is ruled by Iupiter The Feeling is deputed to no particular Organ but is spread abroad over the whole Body is of all qualities hot cold dry and moist and is the Index of all tangible things for if it were only hot alone it could not feel a quality contrary viz. cold and so might be spoken of other qualities It is under the dominion of Venus some say Mercury A thousand to one but t is under Mercury The Four Administring Vertues are Attractive Digestive Retentive Expulsive The Attractive Vertue is hot and dry hot by quality active or principal and that appears because the fountain of all heat is Attractive viz. the Sun Dry by a quality pasive or an effect of its heat its Office is to remain in the Body and call for what Nature wants It is under the Influence of the Sun say Authors and not under Mars because he is of a corrupting nature Experience is more worth then Tradition ten thousand times told over yet if we cast an impartial Eye upon Experience we shall find That Martial men call for Meat none of the least and for Drink the most of all other men although many times they corrupt the Body by it and therefore I see no reason why Mars being of the same quality with the Sun should not have a share in the dominion It is in vain to Object That the Influence of Mars is Evil and therefore he should have no dominion over this Vertue for then 1 By the same rule he should have no dominion at all in the Body of man 2 All the Vertues in man are naturall Evil and corrupted by Adams fall This Attractive Vertue ought to be fortified when the Moon is in fiery Signs viz. Aries and Sagitary but not in Leo for the sign is so violent that no Physick ought to be given when the Moon is there and why not Leo seeing that is the most Attractive sign af all and that 's the reason such as have it ascending in their Genesis are such greedy eaters If you cannot stay till the Moon be in one of them let one of them ascend when you administer the Medicine The Digestive Vertue is hot and moist and is the principal of them all the other like handmaids attend it The Attractive Vertue draws that which it should digest and serves continually to feed and supply it The Retentive Vertue retains the substance with it till it be perfectly digested The Expulsive Vertue casteth out and expelleth what is superfluous by digestion It is under the influence of Iupiter and fortified by his Herbs and Plants c. In fortifying it let your Moon be in Geminis Aquary or the first half of Libra or if matters be come to that extremity that you cannot stay till that time let one of them ascend but both of them together would do better alwayes provided that the Moon be not in the Ascendent I cannot beleeve the Moon afflicts the Ascendent so much as they talk
