ceassing 〈◊〉 that his declination from or towarde the Equinocti●● can hardly be discerned for the smalnesse thereof T●● signes also are diuersly distinguished according to th● qualitie but it is not for me in this place to reckon the● because they belong to Iudiciall Astronomie which c●●leth some of them Masculine some Feminine some ●●●urnall some Nocturnall some Mooueable some Fix●● some Common c. The qualities whereby the sig●● are vsually distinguished are either Elementall or Hum●rall So that the signes are diuided according to the. 4. ●●●ments and humors raigning in our bodies The elem●●tall qualities are such as are in the elements as heate 〈◊〉 colde moisture and drinesse The fire is hote and drie 〈◊〉 are some signes are therefore called firie as ♈ ♌ 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which because they are but. 3. in number are called 〈◊〉 the firie triplicitie The ayre is moyst and hot so 〈◊〉 ♊ ♎ ♒ which make the ayrie triplicitie The water is colde and moist so are ♋ ♏ ♓ making the wa●●●● triplicitie The earth is drie colde so are ♉ ♍ ♑ ●●ich make the earthly triplicitie The humorall qualities are such as are in the. 4. humors of our bodies and are answereable to the qualities of the. 4. Elements The first ●●mor is choler which is hot drie like the fire where●● on the firie signes are called also cholerick Bloud an●●ereth in qualitie to the aire which is hot and moist ●●●rfore the airie signes are also Sanguine The water 〈◊〉 me agree in qualitie being both cold moist so that 〈◊〉 watrie signes are called flegmaticke Melancholie and 〈◊〉 earth are drie cold the earthly signes therefore are ●●●ed Melancholicke And to the intent that you may ●●st easily carrie these qualities of the signes in memorie 〈◊〉 this Choose 4. fingers of your hand and call the first 〈◊〉 the second earth the thirde aire the fourth water ●●en in beginning at ♈ count the. 12. signes vpō your foure ●●●gers so shall you finde which are firie and cholericke that is hot and drie which earthly and melancholicke that is drie and colde c. P. There arise in this place 2. doubtes wherein I would gladly be resolued First the Philosophers haue 〈◊〉 downe this as a principle that in heauen there is nei●●er heate nor colde in what respect then are the signes ●●de to be of these qualities Secondly the naturall pla●●●g of the Elements is this the fire is first and the ayre su●ceedeth then the water the earth it self is last of all what is therefore the reason of this disorderly placing of ●●e signes why are the earthly signes in the second place M. The ancient Astronomers men of great exper●ence and paines obseruing the sundry changes and alt●rations of all things here vpon earth noted that the Su●● and other planets cōming to certaine places of the he●uen did moue some of these inferior bodies more th●● othersome and stirred vp their qualities more or lesse● or otherwise diminished thē The qualities whose au●mentation diminution alteration they especially o●serued were these beforenamed because they were mo●● subiect to cōmon sense And cōsidering that as black a●● white so heate and cold drynes and moisture cannot 〈◊〉 in one and the same subiect being contraries therefo●● they affirmed certain places to be hot others to be col●● some to be moist and some to be dry not actually as th● elements are but vertually by their vertue and powe● From this experience I might draw an answere to yo●● second question that because they obserued in ♉ whic● is the second signe the earthly qualities that is drougth● and coldnes therfore they placed the signes as they b● Yet I pray you also note this in the elements there are 〈◊〉 qualities one intensiue predomināt which is the chi●fest of the two the other is remisse as in the fire the pr●domināt quality is the heat the remisse qualitie is the di●●nes these elements are changed one into another not a●● all aduentures but successiuely from one to another thi● naturall change is fitly expressed by the placing of the n●● signes The fire which is intensiue hot cannot becom● moist immediatly but it is always dry yet may it lose hi● heate and become cold and dry which are the qualitie● of the earth The first signe therefore being firie the second is earthly to signifie this naturall alteration Againe the aire is intensiue moist and remissiue hot therefore it cannot be dry but it may lose his heate and be●ome cold as the water is and therefore those 2. signes succeede one an other I might deriue also a reason of this disorder from the seuerall aspects of the signes which is not to be neglected in the eclipticke for in this circle they are to be accounted P. What meane you by that word aspect which you say is to be obserued in the signes M. An aspect is a position of the signes it is a ●hing incident also to the planets in a determinate di●●ance of the ecliptick line from whence they may as it ●ere beholde one another P. Hour many aspects are there M. Hauing regard vnto the Planets there are fiue ●spects for they may be right vnder one an other or else ●hey may be in one and the same great circle drawne ●rom the poles of the eclipticke through the center of ●ach Planet this aspect is called coniunction and is expressed with this character ☌ the other aspects are sextile quadrature trine and opposition these 4. are only in the signes for the signes are not said to haue cōiunction Sextile is an aspect of the signes or planets when they are distant one from an other the sixt part of the eclipticke that is 60. degrees as ♈ and ♊ ♉ and ♋ c. it is expressed thus * Quadrature is an aspect of the signes when they are distant one from an other 90. degrees which is the fourth part of the eclipticke as ♈ and ♋ or ♋ and ♎ it is thus expressed □ Trine which ●s also called trigonall or triangular is an aspect of the signes when they are distant one from an other the third part of the eclipticke which is 120. degrees as ♈ and ♌ the character of this aspect is this △ Opposition is an aspect of the Signes when they are distant 180. degrees which is halfe the Eclipticke so that the one signe is in the one ende of the Diameter and the other signe in the other ende as ♈ and ♎ or ♋ and ♑ this aspect is expressed thus ☍ P. What is the reason that the quintile is exēpted M. If you marke it there is no aspect hetherto named but the number which giueth the denomination thereto will exactly diuide 12. for so much therefore as 5. from whence the quintile aspect if there were any such is to receaue his denomination cannot diuide 12 exactly therefore that aspect is excluded by the Astronomers Thus much for the quantitie that is the number of the aspects P. If
