that 's the question For a lusty stout man beares the disease longer and is longer before he takes his bed then a puny weakly sickly man is a meer suspition of a sicknesse will send a faint-hearted man to bed you may perswade him he is sicke whether he be or no Notwithstanding this is most certain that in most acute diseases as also in many other diseases as the Falling sicknesse Palsies Apoplexies Pluresies c. 't is an easie thing to find out the beginning or the preci e time of the invasion of the disease The common opinion of such as are learned in Astrology is and according to their opinion I affirm that that moment of time is to be taken for the beginning of the disease in which a man finds a manifest pain or hurt in his body for instance when a man hath got a Fever usually the head akes certain dayes before this is not the Fever but a Messenger or forerunner of the Fever the true beginning of the Fever is when the disease appears sensibly or when a horror or trembling invades the sicke as does usually in the beginning of a Fever that is the beginning of the disease when the disease appeares manifest to sence And this was the judgement of Hippocrates one of the honestest of Physitians And you shall find this alwaies that the more acute the disease is the more manifest the beginning of it is to sense yea so manifest that it is almost impossible that the beginning should lie hid from any one that wants reason if he have but sense CHAP. III. Of the Sympathy and Antipathy of the Signes and Planets BEfore we come to prognostick we must know that there is a Sympathy between Celestiall and Terrestiall bodyes which will easily appear if we consider that the whole creation is one entire and united body composed by the power of an All-wise God of a composition of discords Also there is friendship and hatred between one sign of the Zodiack and another for fiery signes are contrary to watry and nocturnal to diurnall c. The Planets are also friendly and inimical one to another but in their friendship and enmity what ever the matter is I cannot agree neither with ancient nor modern writers And when I cannot do so I le fly to Dr. Reason for advice they hold Mars and Venus to be friends And what your opinion is of all the rest you may find by Mr. Lillies Introduction My own opinion grounded upon reason is this that there are two causes of friendship and enmity between Planets Essential and Accidental Planets are essentially inimically three wayes First When their Houses or Exaltations are opposite one to the other and so Saturn is an enemy to both Luminaries Jupiter to Mercury and e contra Mars to Venus 2. Planets are Inimicall one to the other when their temperatures or qualities are opposite and so jupiter is an enemy to Saturn he being hot and moist Saturn cold and dry So Mars is enemy to Venus he being hot and dry she cold and moist 3. Planets are Inimical when their conditions differ so there is enmity to Sol and Jupiter for he loves the Court and he the Country Jupiter is enemy to Mars for he loves Peace and Justice Mars violence and oppressions Mars is enemy to Venus for he rejoyceth in the field she in the bed he loves to be publique she playes least in sight And thus you see in every respect what a difficult thing it is to make Mars and Venus rationally friends Accidentall inimicalnesse to Planets is when they are in square or opposition c. the one to the other Also Inimicalnesse must needs be in the Signes for if cold and heat moisture and drynesse be inconsistent together in one and the same place as your eyes will tell you if you will but please to take a pale of water and throw it into the fire then can they not be in one and the same place in the heavens And if so as is most true then must some signes be cold some dry and some moist one sign must needs cherish one quality more then another and seeing the first qualities are adverse the one to the other there is a necessity that sometimes one must yeild and sometimes overcome and this is the reason of the corruption generation and vicissitude of things Moreover the Moon constituted in a signe commonly strikes upon the nature of the signe she is in as if she be in a fiery sign she stirs up Choler c. Also as every Climate hath two qualities so hath every celestiall sign the Aereal signes are hot and moist the Farthly signes cold and dry the Fiery signes hot and dry the Watry signes cold and moist And thus you see how the concords are made of discords for Aery signes are joyned to fiery by heat and to watry by moisture Watry are joyned to aery by moisture and to earthly by coldnesse the Earthly are joyned to the watry by coldnesse and to fiery by drynesse this is an old true maxime of Philosophers which I shal not at this time be captious against Besides the congresse and configurature of the Planets and fixed Stars is diligently to be heeded of these some are obnoxious and hatefull a Quartile and Opposition as also the Conjunction of bad Planets others are healthful as Sextile and Trine and Conjunction of good Planets and indeed the chiefest part of Astrology consisteth in the due observation of configurations for by these come alterations in things below either to better or worse according to the nature of the Planets or Stars that signifie them for when two Stars are joyned with 〈◊〉 aspected to one another they seminate something in Sub-Lunary bodies according to their owne nature It dissention be between the starres the sperme proves malicious and destructive and tumultuous even as the opposition of winds especially the North and South winds produceth thunder lightning and pestilentiall vapours and this we find never failes if the South-wind prevails and the Moon and Mercu ry behold one another Thus you see a reason if you know but what a reason is or ever heard of such a thing why diseases in the body of man are either exasperated or remitted according to the good or evill meeting of the Planets Of the Aspects opposition is the worst of all not by any contrariety or diversity of nature of the Signs in which the oppositions fall out but in respect of the Planets themselves opposing which being at greatest distance are most inimicall they being in a posture to outface one another and this is the most principall cause of enmity A Quartile is inimicall because the Stars so aspected be in signes of contrary nature as Sol in Aries Luna in Cancer the aspect is hatefull because Aries is hot and dry Cancer cold and moist Aries masculine Cancer feminine Aries diurnall Cancer nocturnall Andnow by the leave of my Author and also of

Slimie muddy black tawny dirty nasty filthy stinking urine is usually mortall 9 If a childs urine be brought to you and it look pale and cleer like conduit water it is very bad I know you long for a reason you shall not loose your longing I told you before such a humour was the badge of a melancholy disposition youth is naturally hot and moist melancholy cold and dry ergo extream inimical to youth 10 If you spy in the Urine a thing like a cob-web swimming on the top it us but a scurvy signe 11 Thick Urine signifies but a thin body for he that made it hath a consumption 12 White clouds in the urine and neer the bottome are commendable blacke clouds and neer the top are bad and vituperous Jn all these have regard to the bladder for if that be diseased all these presages are in vaine Thus Hippocrates the truth is many of them seem to me pretty rationall neither am I able to contradict the rest As I have never been a pisse-Prophet all my life yet this I know to be true and Dr. Experience is my witnesse that if the man be sick of a Feaver and the urine appears like the urine of a healthy man as I have knowne it in more then one and by this argument will I prove a very uncertainty in urine death 's a coming provide for him I spake with Dr. Reason at the same time for they two brethren seldome goe asunder And he told me the reason was because the disease work't upon the spirits and not upon the body and that 's as ready a way to kill a man as to chopt off his head CHAP. VIII Presages of Vomiting in Feavers 1 FIrst to vomit up flegme and choler in a Feaver is a very good signe because they are better out of your body then in it they are but scurvy inmates when they keep not their proper place 2 If what be vomited up be green livid or black t is dangerous 3 If it be mixed or compounded of these t is mortall 4 If it stink so that you cannot indure to hold your nose over it and have but one of these colours death comes gallowping thus Hippocrates Hippocrates was a brave Physician I confesse Galen mended his works in Physick just as Aristotle mended Platoes in Philosophy and that is as soure Ale mends in Summer CHAP. IX Presages by the Spittle in Feavers 1 SPittle in all diseases of the lungs and maladies under the ribbs if it come in the beginning of the disease without pain of such a colour as spittle should be well digested not viscous It s very commendable ther 's some hopes of it 2 If the spittle come not up without vehement coughing it 's an ill signe when nature is forced by violence to cast out her enemy 3 White spittle tough and knotty is very dangerous in a Feaver But when men spitt blood it 's worse and yet such things happen sometimes 4 If the Spittle be green or fleshy it gives notice of a bad and ill conditioned sicknesse 5 Black spittle is the worst of all for then grim death 's a coming 6 When the matter which should be spit out remaines still within the lungs and troubles the windpipe there 's but little security of life and I am confident never a one of the colledge keeps an insurance office for such a businesse nor will insure thereupon at 50 per cent 7 What we told you was wholsome at the beginning of the malady if it continue longer then the first Crisis it 's suspitious if it be not dangerous 8 If the paine be eased by spitting it 's very good let the wind blow which way it will and then 9 If the Spittle be black and if spittle doe foreshew death it is that yet if the pain be eased by it though I cannot say it is hopefull yet this I say it is lesse dangerous CHAP. X. Presages by Sneezing in Feavers 1 SNeezing in hot maladies let the malady be as dangerous as a halter it is hopefull and commendable and may procure a Reprieve 2 Yet in maladies of the lungs if it come with much rheume and pain be felt after it is dangerous come it when it will whether in the fit or presently after CHAP. XI Presages of Suppuration of Aposthumes 1 IF the paine of an Imposthume cease not by spitting to which adde laxative medicines and letting blood t is forty to one if it come not to suppuration 2 When the Aposthume breaketh the spittle giving notice of choler whether matter come out with the spittle or after it is dangerous 3 If the matter come upon the first Crisis it comes to tell you death will come upon the second Crisis unlesse the Physician be all the wiser to stave him off doth there such a one live in Amen-Corner 4 If the former Aphorisme appeare and other healthfull signes appear together with it Dame nature may happen to helpe her selfe and never be beholding to the Colledge and if you be ruled by me take acquaintance with her and that you may doe so I 'le describe her to you that you may know her when you meet her in the street shee 's a plain homely woman in a beggarly contemptible condition regarded by none unlesse it be the children of wisedome she hath truth written upon her breast those that think themselves wise tread her under foot she carries Dr. Reason in her right hand and Dr. Experience in her left her head is bound about with the eternall providence and in her braine is written the knowledge of all things in words at length and not in figures she alwayes goes toward heaven and if you ask her shee 'l bid you come after God is her Father and her Mothers name is the good of the Creation If you follow her you shal not want she treads upon the world and looks upwards she is a virgin a wife and a widdow she will give you a paper in your hand in which is written Know thy selfe she hath no mony yet is Mistris of the mines of India In all her words you shall find more truth then eloquence If you please to aske her for her Commission she will shew it you Signed by Jebovah not by Aristotle or Galen Her wayes are very plaine you may finde them in the darkest night without a Candle and lanthorne she is alwayes every where and yet still with me she is my Mother shee 's a woman and yet an Academick shee 's present to all that call upon her yet not Ubiquitary she alwayes weeps and yet I never saw her laugh I hope none will blame me for writing this discription of my Mother so much despised so little thought of by the Rabbies of our age Noverint universi per praesentes that she is my Mother and her two Sons Dr. Reason and Dr. Experience my brethren CHAP. XII Presages by the time of the Ruptures of Aposthumes 1 THat all Aposthumes have not one and the same

Onely in one part of the body usually in the fore-head and face if the Patient afllicted by such sweats dyes not his diseases will continue longer then he would have it CHAP. IX Presages by Tumours 1. IF the Patient that lyeth sick of a Fever feeleth neither pain inflammation tumour nor hardnesse upon or near about his Ribbs 't is a very good signe 2. If any of these be there and upon both sides 't is but a bad signe at the best 3. If he feel great motions and pulsations in one of his sides it prognosticates great pain and deprivation of his senses 4. If with his pulsation his eyes move faster then they should do the Patient is in danger to fall into a frenzie if not to mischief himself The last Chapter of Apostumes 1. The Collection of an Apostume in both sides in a burning Fever is more dangerous then if it had been but upon one side for two men will sooner kill a man then one 2. 'T is more dangerous one the left side then one the right 3. If it continue 20 dayes and the Fever ceaseth not neither the Apostumes deminisheth it will come to mature action 4. If there come a Flux of blood through the nose upon the first critical day it easeth the Patient onely he will be pained in his head and troubled with dimnesse of sight at noon day chiefly if he be about thirty or thirty five years of age 5. When the Apostume is soft and with pain when 't is handled it requires a longer time to cure then the former did but not halfe so dangerous 6. Such a one may continue two months before it comes to be ripe 7. That Apostume that is hard great and painful if it be not mortal I am sure it is dangerous 8. Apostumes of the belly are never so great as those that grow under the midrife and yet those that grow under the Navel are lesse then they and usually come to suppuration 9. 'T is a good signe when they purge by a Flux of blood in the nostrils 10. Some Apostumes purge onely outwards and they are little round and sharp pointed and they are most healthful lesse mortall 11. Such as are large grosse not round but flat are most dangerous 12. Those that purge and break within the belly and make tumours outwardly are as bad as the Devil himself or Robin Good-fellow and are very pernicious s those that make no tumour outwardly excell them as far as the shot of a Canon doth that of a Pistol 13. The matter which comes out of the impostumes being white and not unsavory is very good and healthfull 14. The more the colour differs from white the worse it is and thus much for the first book The second Booke of the Presages of Hippocrates you shall find marshalled in this Order 1. FIrst of all Presages by Dropsies in Fevers 2. Life and Death in Fevers 3. By the Yard and Testicles 4. By sleeping and dreaming 5. By the Excrements in the bowels 6. By wind in the bowels 7. By Urine 8. By vomiting 9. By Spittle 10. By Sneezing 11. By suppuration of impostumes 12. From the time of breaking 13. By pasions of the Lungs 14. By Apostumes in the feet 15. By the bladder and Fevers CHAP. I. Presages by dropsies in Fevers FIrst All manner of Dropsies in Fevers are dangerous if not mortal I know you would fain know a reason I le tell you a Fever proceeds of heat Dropsies of cold and as fire and water agree so doth a Fever and a Dropsie and what you give to mitigate a Fever increaseth a Dropsie a Dropsie and a Fever agree like fire and water the Sun having drawn up a fiery quality from the earth and invellopeded it round with a cloud of Snow thence comes lightning and thunder and terrifies the people and as well doth a Fever and a Dropsie agree in Microcosms as fire and water doth in the Region of the aire many men know their is a middle Region in the aire but few know what it is and as little where onely a few Sons whom mother Wisdom hath instructed in it 2. If a Dropsie and a Fever meet in one body they will play reaks as sometimes they do though not often the Liver pays all the score 3. It afflicts the Vena lectua and most commonly the guts themselves the legs are presently tormented and they cannot march handsomely a flux follows and the swelling in the belly is not a whit lessened by it 4. If the Liver be most afflicted the Patient hath got a dry cough and he knows not how to help it he spits but very little and wishes he could spit more the belly is very hard and if he goes to stool 't is with more pain then he would willing his feet swell there is tumours inflammation in his sides sometimes they dissipate and sometimes they swell again CHAP. II. Presages of Life and Death in Fevers 1. WHen the Patient is cold on his head or face or hath cold sweats there also if his hands and feet be cold but his belly and sides hot and burning the case is extream dangerous and is a signe that death hath taken possession of the house and clay where life formerly dwelt 2. It is a healthfull signe in a Fever when all the parts of the body is equally hot though they be something hotter then they should be 3. The body heavy the nailes of a leaden swarthy colour the disease will be cured by death and not by Physick 4. Induring of a sicknesse without anguish shews strength of nature and so long as she hold up her head there is some hopes 5. Let every one that views a Patient if he would act the part of a wise man inquire after the custom of the mans body when he was in health and if his spittle sleep or excrement c. be as they were when the body was in health recovery is comming and it comes a pace and will speedily be with the sick for his comfort The more these signs differ in sicknesse from what they were in health the more is the danger 6. By these signes you may also know in some measure what part of the body is afflicted and by what humor if you can but understand their language if you cannot go to the school of dame Nature she is an excellent School-Mistris CHAP. III. Presages by the Testicles WHen the yard and testicles are shrunk in and apparently diminished against nature it signifies great paine and anguish and death follows them at heels as swist as the wind CHAP. IV. Presages of Sleeping FIrst of all when the sick sleeps in the night and keeps waking in the day this is usually a lovely hopefull signe of recovery to the sick the reynes of government are not yet forced out of the hands of dame Nature and if she be not hindred by intemperance or other impediments governs prudently 2. Although it be not altogether wholsome to sleep
