TO
THE
RIGHT
WORSHIPFVLL
Sir
George
Carey
,
Knight
,
and
Knight
MARSHALL
OF
HER
MAIEsties
most
Honorable
houshold
:
THOMAS
HETH
wisheth
long
life
with
much
felicitie
.
RIght
worshipful
,
according
to
my
duety
vnto
your
worship
,
and
my
natiue
Country
,
(
though
somewhat
preuented
by
the
hasty
and
rashe
atemptes
of
other
some
)
.
I
haue
at
this
present
published
that
,
whereof
I
hope
your
worship
will
accept
,
which
is
my
censure
and
opinion
(
according
to
the
groundes
of
Art
)
of
the
coniunction
of
the
two
superiour
Planettes
,
hapning
in
this
yeare
of
our
Lord
,
a
thousand
fiue
hundred
eightie
three
,
the
twentie
eight
day
of
Aprill
,
about
the
fifteenth
houre
of
the
Astronomicall
daye
.
The
which
reduced
to
our
vulgar
accountp
,
is
the
twentie
ninth
day
,
at
three
of
the
clocke
in
the
morning
,
or
neare
about
the
same
,
as
I
am
able
to
prooue
by
plaine
Demonstration
,
though
Leouitius
and
an
imitatour
of
him
,
Frauncis
Liberati
,
an
Italian
Doctor
,
Vir
equidem
ab
omni
liberatus
iudicio
,
affirme
the
same
to
be
the
second
day
of
May
,
at
three
of
the
clocke
,
fifteene
Minutes
in
the
morning
,
vnder
suche
a
Celestiall
Scheme
as
followeth
,
erected
for
the
Meridian
of
Paris
.
But
howe
farre
hee
erreth
from
the
truth
,
the
thing
it selfe
wil
sufficiently
shew
.
Likewise
Stadius
somewhat
nearer
to
the
truth
,
though
farre
different
,
putteth
it
the
twentie
eight
day
of
Aprill
,
iust
at
noone
to
them
of
Antwerpe
,
vnder
such
a
figure
as
followeth
.
The
same
by
some
reduced
to
London
very
sleightly
.
Wherfore
before
I
can
come
to
say
any
thing
thereof
.
I
am
driuen
to
disprooue
many
of
their
mistaken
Axiomes
.
Wherwith
they
seem
to
bring
the
world
into
such
admiration
,
that
they
of
the
better
sort
,
knowe
not
what
to
thinke
thereof
,
and
the
rest
more
simple
,
brought
into
no
small
feare
and
discomfort
therby
.
As
touching
the
first
,
who
yeeldeth
no
reson
of
his
predictions
,
I
boldly
say
,
they
are
meere
immaginary
and
altogether
friuolous
.
For
if
he
iudge
by
the
coniunction
,
he
seemeth
to
leap
ouer
the
stile
before
hee
come
at
it
.
For
that
a
great
Coniunction
,
Eclipse
,
Comet
,
or
Reuolution
can
not
worke
any
matter
that
shoulde
come
to
effect
before
the
same
first
appeare
vnto
the
world
,
and
therefore
were
it
,
so
that
his
estimate
of
the
Coniunction
were
anye
thing
neere
vnto
the
trueth
,
yet
he
coulde
not
prognosticate
therby
anything
to
fall
out
before
the
time
of
the
sayd
Coniunction
(
the
same
being
the
efficient
occasion
thereof
)
as
he
doth
in
the
beginning
of
this
yeare
1583.
the
26.
day
of
February
two
moneths
before
the
coniunction
,
amonges
a
greate
manye
of
other
strange
matters
.
His
wordes
bee
these
preparation
de
guerre
en
Angliterre
&c.
non
obstant
les
iours
quaresme
.
Likewise
the
thirteenth
day
of
March
Diuision
in
Angliteire
courriers
en
Flanders
&
en
Almaygne
.
&c
Which
saying
because
it
touched
our
natiue
Country
.
I
thought
good
to
recite
as
also
for
that
(
God
be
praysed
therefore
)
it
came
nothing
so
to
passe
.
Nor
nothing
neere
the
trueth
,
for
as
all
men
know
there
was
no
cause
of
preparation
to
warre
or
likelihood
thereof
:
much
lesse
any
preparation
at
all
.
But
it
is
an
ancient
saying
,
and
not
so
old
as
true
,
written
by
Ptholomi
in
his
Cen●iloquio
propositione
12.
Amor
odiumque
ne
vera
eueniant
iudicia
probibent
,
s●quidem
minuunt
maxima
,
augent
minima
:
and
therefore
my
trust
and
confidence
is
,
that
the
rest
of
his
predictions
,
wherewith
hee
threatneth
vs
shall
hurte
vs
no
more
then
the
former
hath
hytherto
done
.
Si
deus
enim
nobiscum
quis
contra
nos
,
if
God
bee
on
cure
side
,
who
can
be
against
vs
.
Agayne
,
if
he
had
iudged
by
the
reuolution
(
as
it
should
rather
seeme
he
did
)
wher
he
putteth
the
ingresse
of
the
sunne
into
the
first
minute
of
Aries
,
to
bee
the
tenth
daye
of
Marche
at
8.
a
clock
thirty
two
minutes
at
night
,
The
twentie
eight
degree
of
Libra
ascending
,
and
Mars
in
Cancer
in
the
ninth
house
,
if
that
position
had
been
true
,
as
it
is
nothing
so
,
yet
Mars
can
not
be
Lord
of
the
yeare
by
any
reason
Astrologicall
,
being
neither
strong
in
himselfe
,
nor
wel
placed
in
the
figure
,
for
he
is
both
in
his
fall
,
and
in
a
cadent
house
,
farre
vnfit
for
that
function
,
after
the
mind
of
any
learned
wryter
in
this
science
.
And
yet
this
is
his
opinion
.
Mars
plus
puissant
en
la
figure
&
lieu
de
ciel
,
de
tous
les
autres
Planets
sera
seigneur
&
le
dispositeur
de
le
an
1583.
And
therefore
with
very
good
reason
I
conclude
against
him
with
the
saying
of
Schoner
,
uomodo
e●iahit
Astrologus
errorem
,
si
capue
anni
(
radicem
predictionis
suae
)
prors●s
ignorauerit
.
That
is
to
say
how
shal
the
Astrologer
auoyd
an
errour
in
iudgement
,
if
he
be
vtterly
ignorant
of
the
true
beginning
of
the
yeare
the
very
ground
of
his
prediction
.
And
now
to
returne
to
the
other
,
who
seemeth
to
write
more
learnedly
and
more
amply
of
the
same
matter
,
though
not
vppon
the
same
ground
.
Wherein
verily
he
shewes
him selfe
a
toward
scholler
,
though
not
so
perfect
an
Astrologer
,
in
that
hee
leaneth
somewhat
too
muche
,
(
without
cause
)
to
the
workes
of
other
wryters
,
as
shall
be
declared
hereafter
,
not
examining
whether
there
hath
beene
any
errour
or
ouersight
committed
,
either
by
the
author
or
printer
of
the
same
.
For
in
one
of
them
there
must
of
necessity
some
negligence
appeare
As
for
example
●eouitius
,
who
was
excellently
well
learned
,
and
daylie
exercised
in
the
Mathematicals
,
putteth
the
coniunction
to
bee
the
second
day
of
May
,
at
thre
of
the
clock
in
the
morning
?
Who
as
it
is
well
known
,
followed
the
Alphonsine
account
,
which
at
this
day
&
long
since
is
founde
(
by
the
best
learned
)
to
halt
,
&
prooued
insufficient
,
exactly
to
account
any
apparent
motion
by
.
Wherfore
no
doubt
(
if
he
were
liuing
at
this
present
)
he
would
not
let
,
(
after
proofe
made
)
to
say
with
othersom
,
Errare
po●um
bereticus
essenolo
.
And
Stadius
of
like
credite
,
and
no
lesse
experience
then
the
former
,
affirmeth
it
to
be
the
twenty
eight
day
of
April
exactly
at
noone
,
vnder
the
constitution
that
goeth
before
,
which
is
more
then
foure
dayes
different
,
and
therefore
must
needes
breede
greate
alteration
in
iudgement
.
Lastly
,
Moestlin
who
endeuoresh
himselfe
to
winne
no
lesse
acceptatton
and
credit
then
the
rest
,
wherof
there
is
no
doubt
but
he
will
if
he
perseuer
,
(
as
he
hath
already
begun
)
putteth
it
to
be
the
same
day
,
but
sixteene
houres
from
noone
,
or
at
foure
of
the
clocke
the
next
day
in
the
morning
,
and
nearest
to
the
truth
for
certain
.
And
though
these
writers
do
wryte
for
sundry
meridians
,
as
Augusta
,
Antwerpe
,
and
Tubing
,
yet
can
not
any
reduction
bring
them
all
to
be
vnited
or
agreable
to
any
one
of
the
said
thrée
Cities
,
or
any
other
meridian
els
,
that
one
may
safely
say
,
this
is
the
true
houre
and
minute
of
the
coniunction
.
For
neither
Stadius
(
if
he
had
beene
willed
)
or
Moestlin
(
if
he
should
be
required
)
to
put
it
downe
to
the
view
of
the
worlde
,
woulde
trust
to
his
own
Ephemerides
,
much
lesse
to
anye
others
,
but
rather
woulde
vouchsafe
the
supputation
of
the
same
out
of
the
grounds
therof
.
For
although
et
be
thought
sufficient
,
in
the
supputation
of
an
Ephemerides
to
come
,
within
a
minute
,
two
,
or
three
of
the
true
place
of
the
Plar
et
at
noone
,
yet
is
it
to
be
otherwise
requyred
in
this
behalfe
.
For
not
onely
to
know
the
degree
and
minute
is
requysite
herein
,
but
also
the
second
,
wherein
the
sayde
coniunction
shall
at
any
time
happen
.
For
as
much
as
they
may
be
both
conioyned
togeather
in
one
degree
,
and
same
minute
,
the
space
of
fiue
houres
at
least
,
before
the
true
coniunction
,
or
no
lesse
tyme
after
the
same
,
throgh
the
slownesse
of
their
motions
.
All
which
considered
,
I
haue
here
set
downe
according
to
my
simple
skill
,
the
figure
thereof
,
so
neere
the
truth
as
I
possibly
coulde
.
Which
though
I
dare
not
warrant
the
exact
minute
of
time
,
yet
of
the
hour
,
I
am
well
assured
that
no
way
I
am
deceiued
,
for
as
much
as
it
hath
bin
supputated
out
of
the
grounds
,
esteeming
the
same
to
bee
with
vs
at
London
,
the
twentie
ninth
day
of
Aprill
,
at
three
a
clocke
in
the
morning
,
vnder
such
a
position
as
followeth
.
THis
coniunction
hapneth
in
the
fift
minute
of
the
22.
degree
of
Pisces
,
the
last
signe
of
the
zodiacke
,
and
in
the
latter
part
of
the
twelfe
house
,
which
is
termed
of
the
Astronomers
.
Domus
tristitiae
,
laboris
,
aerumnae
,
maeroris
,
inimicitiarum
,
inuidiae
,
susurrationis
,
carceris
,
seruorum
,
deceptorum
,
animalium
magnorum
.
&c.
And
whether
it
ought
to
seeme
so
fearefull
and
terrible
vnto
vs
,
as
it
is
thought
by
some
,
we
are
to
examine
.
And
for
asmuch
as
it
is
a
coniunction
of
the
very
best
and
worst
of
all
the
Planets
:
we
ought
well
to
consider
,
whether
Saturne
in
his
mallice
and
mischiefe
,
be
able
and
of
sufficient
power
to
subdue
the
influence
of
Iupiter
,
and
those
good
haps
by
him
signified
.
And
in
as
much
as
they
twain
,
are
not
all
in
all
,
hauing
to
doe
wholly
in
all
causes
,
it
is
therefore
requisite
and
needfull
,
ioyntly
io
consider
with
them
,
the
Dominion
and
authoritie
of
the
rest
in
order
,
as
followeth

And
now
to
come
to
the
purpose
,
these
former
considerations
wayd
,
if
we
compare
the
fortituds
of
Saturne
with
his
debilities
,
we
shall
then
find
that
he
is
strong
(
proportione
sesquialtera
)
his
strengths
being
aboue
thirtie
,
his
debilities
,
only
20.
wherefore
I
may
safely
say
,
he
is
well
affected
,
well
situat
,
and
very
well
configurate
:
no
lesse
may
he
thought
of
Iupiter
,
though
not
hauing
the
same
fortitudes
and
debilities
in
all
pointes
,
yet
the
like
in
number
,
and
same
proportion
,
and
are
both
as
witnesseth
Cardan
.
In
primo
&
optimo
statu
,
robustissimi
,
quia
orientales
,
veloces
&
aparentes
.
Wherefore
it
were
very
grosse
to
conclude
that
Saturn
shold
be
so
hatefull
so
hurtful
,
so
dispitefull
,
or
so
malicious
by
his
force
and
authority
,
to
ouercome
and
subdue
the
good
nature
,
the
sweete
influence
,
and
prosperous
irradiation
of
the
beneuolent
and
friendly
Planet
Iupiter
.
Vpon
his
trial
,
who
is
found
in
all
respectes
to
be
as
strong
,
as
able
,
as
manlike
,
and
as
mighty
as
himselfe
,
and
hauing
him
at
home
in
his
owne
house
,
hee
may
either
entreate
him
as
a
friend
,
or
else
(
de
iure
)
commaunde
him
as
a
guest
to
be
ruled
,
and
be
of
good
behauiour
,
yeelding
the
superiority
vnto
his
Host
,
without
causing
great
abundance
of
waters
,
cold
weather
,
vnwonted
mischiefes
,
sorrow
,
enuie
,
debate
,
quarrelling
,
hate
,
strife
,
lawing
for
the
goods
of
the
deade
,
reconinges
,
accountes
,
or
such
like
,
the
rather
because
hee
is
neither
in
the
eight
,
neither
hath
any
dominion
therein
,
nor
beholdeth
Mars
the
Lorde
of
the
cuspe
of
the
same
:
for
Leo
and
Pisces
no
way
beholde
the
one
the
other
.
And
whereas
he
threatneth
thorow
the
influence
of
Saturne
,
vprores
,
tumultes
,
manyfolde
troubles
,
violence
and
oppression
,
he
greatly
mistaketh
the
matter
,
for
that
they
are
rather
the
effects
of
the
outragious
,
fell
,
and
furious
Planet
Mars
,
who
in
the
coniunction
hath
little
or
nothing
to
doe
.
But
if
therevpon
hee
had
threatned
hunger
,
want
,
penurie
,
and
pouertie
vnto
the
poore
and
indigent
,
his
prediction
had
not
been
vnlike
to
haue
taken
effect
,
for
that
their
estate
is
neuer
better
,
and
why
he
should
discomfort
the
Clergie
or
Ecclesiasticall
estate
,
I
sée
no
cause
considering
that
Iupiter
their
generall
significator
(
as
also
Dominus
9.
of
the
figure
)
is
so
strong
and
well
affected
,
both
in
himselfe
and
his
essentiall
dignities
,
eleuated
aboue
the
rest
,
and
also
small
reason
he
hath
,
to
mooue
him
to
pronounce
the
ruine
and
ouerthrow
of
Noble
men
,
great
personages
and
gentlemen
,
though
some
and
sundry
from
time
to
time
fall
into
like
extremities
,
and
bee
ouerthrowne
with
the
losse
of
estimation
,
goodes
and
lyfe
,
by
the
secret
working
of
their
owne
pryuate
natiuities
,
without
anye
generall
constitution
.
But
were
it
so
,
that
Saturne
(
as
he
sayth
hee
is
)
were
disposed
to
woorke
straunge
feates
,
or
to
bring
greate
matters
about
:
yea
,
and
that
his
might
were
so
much
,
and
his
malice
so
great
,
as
to
shew
the
ful
force
of
his
mischieuous
and
malicious
nature
,
seeking
to
bring
vpon
the
world
,
Plague
,
pestilence
,
famine
,
and
other
calamities
whatsoeuer
,
which
haue
at
any
tyme
since
the
creation
thereof
,
hapned
for
the
punishment
of
sinne
:
yet
could
he
not
at
this
present
play
these
pageants
,
beeing
otherwise
brydled
and
restrayned
of
his
will
,
for
that
he
is
neither
Lorde
of
the
coniunction
,
neither
hath
dominion
in
the
reuolution
of
the
yeare
,
nor
ought
to
doe
in
the
gouernement
of
the
greate
Orbe
,
or
anye
commertion
with
those
who
haue
authoritie
therein
.
Therefore
if
any
alteration
extraordinary
happen
in
the
yeares
following
,
different
from
the
others
past
,
it
must
of
necessitie
rise
and
proceed
of
some
more
farther
cause
,
then
any
alleadged
in
al
the
whole
Astrologicall
discourse
:
for
as
much
as
there
is
not
anye
one
Maxime
therein
alleadged
,
that
may
not
seeme
.
Puerile
quiddam
,
not
woorth
the
hazarding
of
any
small
credite
in
Astrology
,
that
hath
beene
already
purchased
(
els
how
can
one
loose
that
he
neuer
had
)
.
And
for
the
better
proofe
of
these
my
spéeches
,
consider
what
is
by
him
alleadged
.
Iupiter
on
whom
some
part
of
the
charge
is
layd
,
shall
begin
to
shrincke
the
tenth
of
Iuly
,
and
goe
backward
,
whereby
his
influence
shoulde
bee
hindred
,
which
is
nothing
materiall
.
For
why
the
combat
(
the
coniunction
I
meane
)
being
fought
&
past
long
before
,
it
is
requisite
that
the
combattants
doe
retire
and
repose
them selues
in
aray
,
returning
backe
from
whence
they
came
,
which
well
they
may
do
without
any
kind
of
impeachment
or
discredit
in
this
respect
.
Besides
it
is
a
passion
which
hapneth
vnto
them
euery
yeare
once
,
which
they
can
not
possibly
auoyde
.
Then
to
thinke
,
or
bee
perswaded
that
Saturne
,
Iupiter
,
or
any
other
of
the
Errones
can
be
or
shall
be
,
these
fiue
or
sixe
yeares
next
ensuing
,
eyther
oftener
retrograde
then
heretofore
they
haue
beene
,
or
than
commonly
they
vse
to
bee
,
is
moste
absurde
&
chieldish
,
and
argueth
that
whosoeuer
is
of
that
opinion
can
be
but
a
simple
Astrologian
,
not
seene
at
all
in
the
Theory
of
the
Planettes
,
nor
well
acquainted
with
Copernicus
his
Hypotheses
,
Rein●olts
obseruations
,
or
Pe●rbachius
.
Forasmuch
as
it
is
a
position
or
rule
infallible
that
a
Planet
cannot
passe
by
his
first
station
aboue
once
,
while
hee
maketh
his
reuolution
in
his
epicicle
,
&
by
it
he
must
of
necessity
once
passe
,
and
the
tempus
periodicum
of
his
reuolution
is
certain
,
constant
,
and
without
alteration
.
Wherefore
,
if
hee
euer
see
Saturne
oftener
retrograde
,
then
once
in
twelue
moneths
and
eighteen
daies
(
menses
solares
I
mean
)
or
Iupiter
in
13.
moneths
and
9.
dayes
,
Mars
,
in
3.
years
and
2.
moneths
,
Venus
in
one
yeare
7.
monethes
and
14.
dayes
,
Mercury
in
3.
moneths
&
26.
dayes
,
or
if
he
can
find
that
they
escape
retrogradation
in
any
of
those
prescribed
times
,
then
let
me
loose
the
credite
of
mine
Astrology
,
vnlesse
it
please
the
almighty
to
work
miracles
more
in
these
6.
yeares
following
,
than
in
1600.
yeres
heretofore
:
and
were
his
meaning
no
lesse
,
yet
were
it
doubtfull
,
whether
the
authour
of
the
Astrological
discourse
.
were
a
consilijs
illius
,
and
priuie
to
his
intent
.
But
admit
it
were
as
he
saith
,
that
they
were
oftner
retro
grade
then
in
times
past
,
and
that
which
is
more
then
so
,
that
the
sun
stood
stil
,
or
went
backward
,
contrary
to
his
naturall
motion
:
yet
were
it
no
argument
thervpon
to
inferre
the
dissolution
of
the
world
,
or
ende
of
the
same
:
considering
that
in
the
time
of
Iosua
,
the
Sunne
stoode
still
:
and
in
the
tyme
of
Ezechias
,
the
Sunne
went
backe
:
and
the
world
notwithstanding
continuing
after
the
space
of
sixtéene
hundred
yeres
,
and
not
so
little
.
And
whereas
he
also
sayth
,
that
the
26.
day
of
October
they
are
almost
in
coniunction
again
.
I
answere
that
almost
neuer
won
the
game
,
nor
almost
did
neuer
hit
the
nail
on
the
head
,
&
althogh
they
bee
in
application
,
yet
is
the
same
but
aplicatio
auersa
,
and
is
preuented
by
refranation
,
afore
they
come
to
the
full
coniunction
and
as
for
their
situation
in
the
10.
house
,
at
the
Sunn
his
entrance
into
Libra
,
in
the
thirde
part
of
the
Astronomicall
yeare
:
it
cannot
any
way
increase
the
hurt
,
sith
they
haue
no
dominion
in
the
said
yeare
,
for
how
can
he
gouerne
a
part
,
that
is
excluded
from
the
whole
.
And
to
returne
to
the
constitution
of
the
other
Planets
,
which
are
supposed
to
help
forward
this
cause
,
&
play
their
parts
in
this
tragedy
.
Mars
is
the
man
most
suspected
herein
:
who
though
he
be
peregrine
,
yet
by
his
dignities
coequall
with
his
debilities
,
and
therefore
become
indifferent
and
of
a
meane
disposition
,
who
although
he
be
in
Leo
,
yet
is
he
not
in
Cacodemon
,
neither
is
he
any
way
so
gretly
disgraced
or
euil
affected
,
wherby
it
shoulde
be
thought
to
pretend
any
such
wonderfull
contention
,
sedition
,
treason
,
rebellion
,
warres
,
tumultes
,
mutines
or
vprores
,
with
horrible
slaughter
and
bloudshed
,
but
rather
warranteth
thereby
,
this
his
terrible
prediction
and
fearefull
prognostication
to
passe
like
a
shaddowe
,
or
vanishe
like
a
smoke
,
not
vnlike
quicksiluer
molten
at
the
fire
,
or
as
the
crack
of
a
Cannon
charged
without
a
bullet
,
only
making
a
fearful
noise
,
and
causing
no
further
harm
.
He
saith
also
thervpon
,
that
great
multitudes
shal
be
spoiled
,
subdued
,
destroied
&
murthered
,
by
the
enemy
that
should
oppresse
them
with
the
sworde
&
fire
,
and
other
tragical
mischeifs
&
notorious
calamities
,
to
be
presaged
to
some
mighty
ruler
or
gouernor
,
appointed
in
high
dignitie
or
supreme
authoritie
.
Mars
being
neither
in
the
10.
nor
hauing
dominion
therein
.
Furthermore
,
he
supposing
Mars
to
be
Lord
of
the
9.
house
,
inferreth
therevpon
euill
successe
to
the
cleargy
,
whereas
in
truth
Mars
hath
nothyng
to
doe
in
the
same
,
neither
is
Mercury
there
vnluckily
apointed
,
or
lately
of
hym
discomforted
or
discouraged
with
a
hatefull
square
aspect
,
"
but
rather
receiued
with
a
trine
into
his
house
,
which
can
by
no
meanes
"
forshewe
any
persecution
of
the
Cleargy
,
or
any
disquiet
thereby
,
what
soeuer
is
signified
otherwise
.
Likewise
Mars
in
Leo
,
not
in
the
12.
house
from
the
ascendent
(
as
he
would
haue
hym
)
can
not
threaten
losse
or
destruction
in
those
kindes
of
beasts
that
haue
houes
,
hornes
,
and
fleeces
,
nor
hinder
the
increase
of
Waspes
,
Pismires
,
Caterpillers
,
Cormorantes
,
and
vermin
:
but
that
thei
should
abound
to
much
(
if
it
pleased
not
God
otherwise
to
hinder
the
same
)
who
because
he
is
not
seated
in
the
eight
house
from
the
Moone
,
Ipse
non
significat
interfectiones
&
infirmitates
magnai
in
hominibus
.
Moreouer
,
the
Sunne
beyng
not
Lorde
of
the
Ascendent
,
nor
resident
in
the
10.
house
but
Lord
of
the
sixt
,
and
situate
in
the
ascendent
,
sheweth
that
he
should
imploye
his
influence
farre
otherwise
then
to
busie
hymself
,
with
causing
muche
trouble
,
vexation
or
sorrowe
,
to
Noble
men
,
or
Honourable
personages
:
much
lesse
to
thrust
any
Magistrates
out
of
Office
,
depriue
them
of
their
dignities
,
or
place
other
in
their
roomes
:
though
some
may
feele
these
inconueniences
threatened
vnto
them
,
but
by
some
particular
and
priuate
cause
,
as
is
before
mentioned
.
Likewise
,
Venus
no
Lady
of
the
10.
house
,
though
peregrine
,
not
combust
,
and
in
the
2.
house
,
meaneth
to
be
no
partaker
with
the
Sunne
herein
,
though
he
bee
in
her
house
:
yet
is
she
from
home
,
minding
to
visit
her
olde
frende
Mars
with
a
sextile
aspecte
,
intending
to
make
some
banquett
or
good
cheare
,
whereby
to
helpe
away
with
the
substaunce
that
els
would
rust
,
rather
then
to
forshewe
the
bad
estate
not
onely
to
Princes
,
but
of
their
subiectes
likewise
:
whiche
bad
estate
saieth
he
,
shall
be
founde
in
the
Countries
that
be
situate
betweene
the
East
and
the
West
,
a
sentence
worthy
the
notyng
:
for
it
contayneth
muche
matter
,
and
is
most
like
to
be
truest
of
al
his
predictions
:
for
if
any
suche
thyng
happen
in
any
place
of
the
whole
worlde
,
he
thereby
hits
it
.
For
what
place
is
there
vnder
the
Sunne
,
whiche
is
not
betweene
the
East
and
the
West
,
and
if
he
had
likewise
saied
betweene
the
Northe
and
the
South
,
or
betweene
the
Earth
&
the
Sky
,
he
should
haue
left
no
place
of
the
worlde
vnconsidered
:
for
within
the
twoo
extremes
,
of
either
these
three
euen
distances
,
not
onely
the
vniuersal
earth
,
but
the
whole
is
comprised
,
and
by
including
the
whole
he
can
not
lightly
misse
a
parte
.
And
Venus
,
if
she
were
in
the
11.
house
,
as
she
is
in
the
2.
is
not
there
weakened
,
or
vnluckely
affected
,
for
that
shee
hath
23.
strengthes
to
helpe
her selfe
withall
,
onely
9.
debilities
to
bee
deducted
:
and
if
it
may
helpe
,
rather
she
is
in
optimo
statu
,
quia
apparens
in
ortu
vespertino
,
&
velox
cursu
,
farre
enough
from
the
Moone
Catabibazon
:
and
therefore
can
not
signifie
that
subtile
dissemblyng
&
false
packyng
amongst
men
,
or
want
of
faithfull
and
sounde
freendship
,
or
muche
counterfeite
and
faigned
amitie
,
vncurteous
dealyng
,
falshood
,
breache
of
frendship
,
hate
,
discord
,
strife
,
diuision
or
factions
,
&c.
Nor
after
Haly
,
Destructionem
futuram
in
mulieribus
,
neque
presagit
leguminum
caritatem
:
because
she
not
infortunate
in
the
11.
house
.
And
as
for
Mercury
,
as
he
is
not
nere
his
2.
station
by
25.
degrees
,
so
is
he
not
in
the
house
of
Religion
,
or
long
iourneyes
,
though
peregrine
in
Aries
,
his
place
is
in
the
Ascendent
,
and
hath
not
to
signifie
muche
iourneying
or
remouyng
:
for
although
he
bee
Conuertibilis
&
mobilis
,
yet
he
is
slowe
of
course
,
and
therfore
by
that
Arologicall
reason
,
can
not
signifie
trauellyng
or
iourneying
.
Also
Mercury
hauyng
nothyng
to
doe
in
the
7.
house
,
nor
aspecting
the
cuspe
of
the
same
,
cannot
inferre
sundrie
greeuances
,
violent
Robberies
,
Spoyles
,
wilfull
Murthers
,
and
cruel
man
slaughters
.
For
Mercury
his
influence
,
when
he
hath
to
doe
therein
,
is
rather
to
incline
the
euill
disposed
to
secrete
filching
,
priuie
picking
,
purloining
,
pilferie
,
and
pety
lasseny
,
then
vnto
forcible
breaches
,
riots
,
or
violent
Robberies
.
And
that
the
same
configuration
,
should
"
cause
irreligious
,
impious
,
obstinate
"
wicked
,
stubborne
,
&
disorderly
persons
to
abounde
:
the
marueile
were
not
greate
,
consideryng
the
worlde
lacketh
them
not
at
this
present
,
nor
hath
not
wanted
them
in
former
ages
:
how beit
Mercury
(
who
is
Conuertibilis
naturae
)
chaungyng
himself
into
the
nature
and
disposition
of
hym
whom
he
most
pertily
aspecteth
,
who
is
the
Moone
,
in
this
behalf
,
can
produce
no
suche
effect
,
no
more
then
any
other
kinde
of
infortune
vnto
the
estate
of
Embassadoures
,
Secretaries
,
Notaries
,
Registers
,
Clarkes
,
Scriueners
,
Mercers
,
and
those
especially
of
the
learneder
sort
,
which
is
no
way
to
bee
feared
,
consideryng
that
Mercury
their
Significator
,
is
both
strong
in
himself
,
and
in
the
position
of
the
Figure
:
and
as
for
busie
"
minded
fellowes
,
and
factious
heads
"
wedded
to
their
owne
conceites
,
I
haue
no
doubt
,
but
that
they
are
likewise
wedded
to
their
owne
sorrowes
and
harmes
,
for
that
the
busie
man
neuer
wanteth
woe
.
But
to
come
now
to
the
Moone
,
who
beeyng
neither
peregrine
,
for
that
she
is
in
suo
Decano
,
neither
in
opposition
with
Venus
,
but
seperating
from
the
trine
of
Mars
:
neither
she
beeyng
Ladie
of
the
tenth
house
,
but
of
the
seconde
:
it
were
against
reason
to
thinke
,
that
she
should
in
that
constellation
shew
any
heauie
calamities
,
imprisonmentes
,
disturbances
,
tribulations
,
thought
,
anguishe
,
and
sorrowe
vnto
the
common
people
:
so
that
in
very
truthe
,
there
is
not
one
Aphorisme
in
the
whole
tract
,
that
agreeth
with
the
figure
of
the
true
Coniunction
:
then
how
is
it
possible
to
pronounce
ex
faelsis
verum
.
Neither
is
it
hereby
to
be
thought
,
that
the
Commons
shall
carrie
either
disloyall
,
bisobedient
,
or
rebellious
hartes
towardes
their
gouernors
.
And
though
the
world
be
wickedly
giuen
,
yet
it
is
not
like
that
any
should
bee
so
vnfaithfull
to
their
Prince
,
or
vnnaturall
to
their
Countrey
,
as
to
disquiet
the
common
wealth
therof
,
vnlesse
it
be
some
suche
,
whose
significatours
of
their
Natiuities
be
infortunately
situate
,
in
signis
odiose
obedientibus
,
whiche
from
the
beginnyng
,
as
thei
haue
vnhappely
begunne
their
Insurrections
and
Rebellions
,
so
haue
thei
vnfortunately
proceeded
,
and
miserablie
ended
the
same
.
I
praie
GOD
with
my
whole
harte
,
that
all
so
mynded
and
disposed
,
maie
come
to
the
like
successe
in
the
ende
,
as
no
doubte
they
shall
through
GOD
his
Iustice
,
had
this
Coniunction
neuer
been
.
And
for
as
muche
as
the
Sunne
,
beyng
Anima
Mundi
,
is
not
become
Maleficus
,
neither
the
Fiery
triplicitie
infortunate
,
neither
the
Signe
of
the
eleuenth
and
fift
house
,
wherein
the
Moone
can
no
way
bee
placed
,
neither
Saturne
in
the
eight
,
nor
Lorde
of
the
sixth
and
seauenth
house
,
his
iudgement
dependyng
therevppon
,
together
with
other
incidentes
of
that
Figure
by
hym
erected
,
are
willingly
(
as
vnneedefull
)
for
breuitie
sake
omitted
,
and
had
been
here
vnto
"
small
purpose
recited
,
but
as
hee
is
verely
perswaded
that
there
is
no
Countrey
,
or
Nation
,
shall
beholde
the
same
Coniunction
vnpunished
:
so
am
I
certainely
assured
,
that
he
is
greatly
deceiued
:
and
were
it
so
,
that
it
extended
the
force
and
signification
thereof
,
vnto
the
first
and
second
Climate
(
whiche
is
Per
Meroen
Aethopiae
,
&
per
Syenē
Aegipti
sub
Tropico
Cancri
)
it
is
no
doubt
farre
different
from
the
8.
Climate
,
and
18.19
.
and
20.
Paralell
,
wherin
this
our
Countrey
lyeth
,
neither
are
Pisces
,
Gemini
,
Virgo
,
or
Sagittary
,
signes
that
ascendent
,
or
Horoscopicall
vnto
all
the
Countries
and
Cities
of
the
whole
worlde
:
neither
Saturne
or
Iupiter
,
Dij
topici
omnibus
gentibus
:
and
therefore
the
influence
of
this
Coniunction
not
to
stretche
ouer
all
the
worlde
,
nor
vpon
al
sortes
of
people
in
the
same
:
For
the
omnipotent
and
almightie
Iehouah
,
who
sitteth
aboue
bothe
Planettes
and
Starrie
Firmament
,
and
rules
them
at
his
wil
and
pleasure
,
hath
ordeined
them
as
well
to
bee
signes
and
tokens
of
his
mercie
and
loue
towardes
vs
his
chosen
and
elected
,
as
of
his
wrathe
and
iustice
towarde
the
wicked
&
reprobate
,
vpon
whom
he
neuer
brought
any
iust
scourge
or
punishment
for
their
sinnes
and
wickednesse
,
but
he
first
called
them
to
repentaunce
,
by
some
suche
fearefull
signes
and
tokens
:
if
the
same
might
haue
pearced
their
obstinate
and
stony
hartes
.
But
to
come
to
the
Author
his
perticuler
Iudgementes
,
as
touching
weathers
,
and
suche
like
accidentes
.
Nothyng
there
is
therin
contained
more
praise
worthy
,
then
the
reste
before
mentioned
.
And
whereas
vpon
the
conuent
and
assemblie
of
the
Planettes
,
happenyng
in
the
Moneth
of
Aprill
,
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lorde
1584.
in
the
Signe
of
Aries
,
at
what
tyme
Saturne
and
Iupiter
shall
forsake
the
Signe
Pisces
,
is
promised
a
Comet
immediatly
to
ensue
.
I
plainly
saie
,
it
is
a
verie
weake
argument
wherevpon
to
inferre
suche
a
greate
matter
and
accident
by
,
as
by
the
induction
of
Histories
will
bee
proued
.
In
the
yere
of
our
Lorde
GOD
1505.
in
the
latter
ende
of
Iuly
,
there
was
assembled
the
Sonne
,
the
Moone
,
Saturne
,
Iupiter
,
Venus
,
and
Mercurie
,
in
Leo
,
a
fierie
signe
:
after
whiche
there
followed
no
Comet
.
Again
,
in
the
yere
of
our
Lorde
God
1544.
in
the
middest
of
Nouember
:
there
was
Saturne
,
Iupiter
,
Sol
,
Venus
,
Mercurie
,
Luna
,
all
conuented
in
Sagittarie
,
a
fierie
signe
as
the
former
,
after
whiche
there
followed
no
Comet
at
all
.
Likewise
in
the
yere
of
our
Lorde
God
1564.
in
the
ende
of
Iune
there
was
Saturne
,
Iupiter
,
Mars
,
Venus
,
and
Mercurie
,
assembled
in
Leo
a
fierie
signe
,
and
the
first
before
mentioned
:
After
the
whiche
there
followed
no
Comette
,
Drought
,
or
Heate
,
but
rather
greate
floodes
and
inundations
,
increasyng
the
Riuer
of
Thames
in
suche
sort
,
that
it
ouerflowed
the
marshes
,
and
drouned
muche
cattell
:
and
also
the
same
yere
there
insued
a
verie
cold
and
hard
Winter
in
so
muche
that
the
riuer
of
Thames
was
frosen
ouer
,
the
like
whereof
hath
not
been
seen
at
any
tyme
since
nor
in
many
yeares
before
.
As
also
Owse
bridge
at
Yorke
,
carried
awaie
with
the
force
of
the
Ise
at
the
same
tyme
:
Howbeit
,
Leouitius
promised
a
Comet
,
and
the
contrary
weather
,
who
was
therein
deceiued
,
&
so
maie
"
other
presumyng
no
lesse
.
And
as
"
for
the
Comette
,
whiche
appeared
"
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
1556.
in
the
beginnyng
of
March
,
it
coulde
not
any
way
be
signified
or
forshewed
by
that
assembly
,
that
then
was
in
Aries
:
for
that
the
saied
Comett
appeared
before
there
was
any
more
entered
into
Aries
then
three
,
who
were
Saturne
,
Mars
,
and
Venus
:
and
therefore
I
may
safely
conclude
,
that
the
saied
blazyng
Starr
or
Comet
,
was
no
more
caused
thereby
,
then
that
whiche
happened
after
the
meeting
in
Leo
,
in
the
yere
1434.
or
the
which
happened
before
the
death
of
Charlemaine
Anno
domini
,
814.
after
their
concourse
in
Sagittary
.
Wherefore
,
when
a
Comet
is
to
be
presaged
,
debet
aliunde
peti
,
&
therfore
dare
I
not
giue
any
consent
,
to
thinke
that
wee
shall
haue
a
Comet
1584.
vpon
that
Astrologicall
conclusion
,
and
slender
reason
before
mentioned
.
For
why
,
I
am
certainely
perswaded
,
that
they
are
ingendred
vppon
some
other
farther
cause
:
for
that
in
the
yere
of
our
Lord
God
1572.
when
there
was
no
concourse
of
Planettes
in
fierie
signes
,
there
appeared
a
straunge
Comet
in
the
Asterisme
of
Cassiopeia
,
towarde
the
North
parte
of
the
worlde
,
in
the
Moneth
of
October
,
whiche
was
of
long
continuance
.
And
again
,
in
the
yere
1580.
in
the
moneth
of
Nouember
,
there
appeared
an
other
toward
the
Southwest
,
which
lasted
the
space
of
a
fortnight
,
&
appeared
very
great
when
as
there
was
no
meetyng
of
the
Planettes
in
any
of
the
fiery
signes
,
at
,
or
immediatly
before
the
same
.
Furthermore
,
it
is
saied
by
hym
,
that
in
the
Moneth
of
Aprill
,
1584.
there
should
be
excessiue
cold
,
and
extreme
heate
,
caused
by
the
Coniunction
of
Saturne
and
Mars
in
Pisces
,
and
Iupiter
and
Mars
in
Aries
,
whiche
is
a
thyng
very
absurd
:
for
al
men
know
,
that
two
extremes
do
make
a
meane
,
and
two
contrarie
causes
the
one
consumes
the
other
,
and
they
both
bring
forth
a
third
:
as
scaldyng
hot
water
,
and
extreme
colde
,
doe
make
luke warme
.
As
concerning
the
iudgement
"
of
the
yeare
1585.
it
is
not
to
bee
thought
,
that
the
assemblie
in
Aries
,
should
pul
on
the
effect
of
a
Coniunction
that
was
before
in
Pisces
,
a
watrie
signe
,
and
of
a
contrary
Element
,
and
fire
&
water
so
hardly
agreeing
,
as
also
,
for
that
Transitus
(
as
the
Astronomers
tearme
it
)
is
the
least
of
all
the
influences
.
Againe
,
where
as
it
is
saied
,
that
thei
whiche
haue
in
their
Natiuities
the
Ascendent
,
the
Sunne
,
the
two
superious
Planets
,
or
the
Lorde
of
the
Ascendent
or
Natiuitie
in
Aries
,
Inprimis
,
ad
choreas
caelestes
inuitabuntur
,
aliquidque
noui
molientur
:
and
that
Germany
&
Italy
,
with
other
Countries
subiect
to
Aries
,
should
beware
of
greeuous
calamities
,
chaunces
and
chaunges
:
it
is
farre
against
reason
to
thinke
that
any
Constellation
should
foreshewe
generall
calamities
to
whole
Countries
,
and
particular
prefermentes
to
priuate
persons
,
bothe
beyng
vnder
the
gouernement
of
one
and
the
same
signe
.
As
touchyng
the
continuance
of
the
former
effectes
,
euen
as
the
coniectures
of
them
are
very
slender
,
so
is
the
text
of
Cardane
very
weake
to
this
purpose
:
Effectus
durant
vsque
ad
reditum
,
vt
pote
coniunctio
Saturni
&
Iouis
,
vsque
ad
aliam
coniunctionem
:
whereby
his
meanyng
is
,
that
it
should
last
the
tearme
&
space
of
20.
yeres
following
,
whereas
it
is
recorded
among
them
of
no
small
credite
in
this
science
,
that
the
significations
vpon
the
chaunge
of
a
Trigon
,
hath
been
sometimes
deferred
vntill
the
3.
or
4.
Coniunction
followyng
,
which
is
a
60.
or
80.
yeares
from
the
same
,
or
it
take
effect
,
and
hath
not
lasted
aboue
7.
or
8.
yeares
in
effecte
.
But
to
come
to
the
comparison
of
this
Coniunction
with
others
heretofore
.
The
Coniunction
which
was
in
Cancer
in
Nouember
,
that
shewed
the
generall
Deluge
,
called
Nohae
floud
,
had
other
accidents
concurring
with
the
same
,
which
did
aggrauate
the
force
thereof
,
as
these
.
The
Coniunction
was
in
Cancer
,
whiche
then
likewise
was
the
signe
of
the
greate
Orbe
,
&
Saturne
was
then
lorde
of
the
greate
Orbe
,
and
was
there
far
worse
disposed
then
at
at
this
present
,
forasmuche
as
then
he
was
Tardus
motu
,
prope
stationem
,
in
detrimento
,
aswell
as
Peregrine
,
&c.
&
being
so
many
waies
lorde
and
gouernor
of
the
whole
,
and
so
diuersly
feebled
and
weakened
,
no
maruell
though
so
greate
effecte
did
then
followe
,
suche
as
the
world
shall
neuer
see
again
:
neither
the
like
constellation
in
all
respectes
.
As
for
the
Romane
Monarchie
,
&
his
beginning
,
which
happened
after
a
coniunction
in
Scorpie
,
(
but
fortie
yere
before
the
beginnyng
of
the
fierie
Trigon
at
the
leaste
)
whiche
Coniunction
of
it self
could
as
then
haue
doen
naught
,
had
there
not
been
a
little
before
,
a
concourse
of
Orbes
,
that
hed
of
Aries
,
octaui
orbis
,
beyng
in
longitude
with
Aries
noni
orbis
,
and
beginnyng
as
then
to
make
a
new
reuolution
,
which
is
Res
magnaīcaelo
,
as
witnesseth
Cardane
.
Furthermore
,
the
signe
of
the
great
Orb
at
the
same
time
was
Aquarie
which
Orbe
was
as
then
newly
begunne
,
and
Saturn
Lord
of
the
sayde
Orbe
,
who
did
by
a
square
aspect
,
beholde
the
signe
of
the
great
Orbe
ex
siguis
se
odiose
intuentibus
.
All
which
considered
,
there
is
more
cause
to
think
that
then
there
should
follow
some
notable
subuersion
,
rather
then
now
,
when
as
none
of
the
like
accidents
do
any
way
concur
,
againe
it
is
no
reason
to
thinke
that
the
watry
Trygon
,
which
beganne
the
fourth
Monarchy
,
shoulde
likewyse
finish
the
same
:
Quia
idem
non
potest
esse
causa
generationis
&
corruptionis
.
And
as
touching
the
coniunction
,
which
was
sixe
yéeres
before
the
blessed
and
happye
byrth
of
our
sauiour
Christ
,
the
which
Leouitius
putteth
in
Pisces
,
Cardane
affirmeth
the
same
to
be
in
the
thyrd
degree
of
Aries
,
and
the
fiery
Trygon
already
begun
,
which
controuersye
of
theyrs
(
béeing
men
excellentlye
read
and
learned
)
I
referre
to
my
betters
to
decide
.
Lastly
in
the
time
of
Carolus
magnus
,
the
Trygon
changing
into
Aries
,
came
as
then
into
the
signe
of
the
great
Orbe
and
Dominion
of
Mars
.
And
sith
that
by
processe
of
time
,
we
are
now
come
againe
to
the
ende
of
the
watry
Trigon
,
and
beginning
of
the
fierye
,
it
is
requisite
before
we
shal
presume
by
Astrologicall
coniecture
,
to
affirme
that
the
ende
and
consumation
of
the
world
,
shoulde
be
in
the
yéere
of
our
Lord
1588.
We
should
firste
consider
whether
there
happen
any
chaunge
of
the
greate
Orbe
,
or
concourse
of
the
eyght
and
ninth
Orbe
,
eyther
els
the
chaunge
of
any
Absit
out
of
one
signe
into
an
other
.
All
which
,
as
Cardane
witnesseth
.
Sunt
res
magnae
in
Coelo
.
If
so
bée
that
ther
be
any
such
cause
concurrent
,
then
is
somewhat
to
bee
spoken
thereof
,
otherwise
little
to
bee
expected
.
The
prophesies
of
the
sacred
Scriptures
firste
most
reuerenced
and
beste
considered
aboute
the
same
,
and
then
the
Astrological
coniectures
compared
therewithall
,
and
carefully
foreseeing
that
we
alleadge
not
,
Non
causam
pro
causa
,
some
reasonable
estimate
may
bee
made
thereof
.
But
the
day
and
houre
is
vnknowne
to
the
angels
of
heauen
,
And
so
to
return
to
the
last
notable
matter
by
him
specified
,
which
is
,
that
there
shall
not
appeare
vnto
vs
in
our
Horizon
,
anie
Eclipse
,
of
the
Sun
,
or
moone
this
year
.
But
how
greate
or
how
notable
a
thing
,
that
is
to
be
considred
,
I
leaue
to
those
that
are
meanely
exercised
in
Astronomy
.
But
as
touching
the
influence
of
the
Eclipse
of
the
Sunne
,
that
was
in
Cancer
,
the
last
yeare
1582
,
whereof
there
is
wonders
promised
,
we
are
to
examine
.
And
first
the
cause
of
an
Eclipse
well
knowne
,
we
are
to
consider
the
quantitie
of
the
Eclipse
,
and
the
continuaunce
of
the
same
.
Leouitius
at
Augusta
,
putteth
it
to
be
the
twenteth
of
Iune
,
at
foure
of
the
clock
,
fiftie
thrée
minuts
in
the
morning
,
and
thrée
poyntes
seuen
minutes
darkened
,
and
continued
an
houre
&
twentie
two
minutes
.
Maestlin
for
Tubing
,
affirmeth
it
to
be
at
foure
of
the
clock
fiftie
minutes
,
and
but
two
poynts
foure
minuts
darkned
,
and
lasted
an
houre
and
fourtéen
minutes
.
And
Stadius
for
Antwerp
hath
it
at
foure
of
the
clock
fourtie
two
minutes
:
But
not
so
much
as
one
sixt
part
of
one
point
darkned
,
nor
of
any
continuance
at
all
,
but
onely
a
touch
as
it
were
.
Wherfore
if
they
which
dwel
in
longitude
,
thirtie
degrées
,
and
haue
the
pole
eleuated
fortye
eight
degrées
,
had
it
thrée
points
darkned
,
&
they
in
longitude
thirtie
one
degrées
,
vnder
the
eleuation
of
fourty
nine
degrées
,
had
but
two
points
darkned
.
Likewise
they
that
dwel
in
longitude
twentie
six
degrées
vnder
the
eleuation
of
fiftie
one
degrees
,
sawe
nothing
at
all
.
How
is
it
possible
that
they
which
are
in
longitude
nintéene

WHereby
it
may
euidently
appeare
that
there
was
scant
the
sixt
parte
of
one
pointe
of
the
Sunnes
body
eclypsed
,
what
soeuer
was
seene
at
Cambridge
,
before
whome
so
euer
,
vnlesse
they
had
their
Ossa
iugalia
nimium
extensa
.
As
Cornelius
Gemma
had
,
when
he
considred
the
Comet
that
was
in
Cassiopeia
,
which
made
them
see
the
thing
which
was
not
,
els
had
they
not
Neruum
opticum
bene
dispositum
,
which
made
that
small
darkenesse
to
appeare
sixteene
tymes
bigger
then
it
was
,
and
the
obscuration
beeing
but
the
sixte
parte
of
one
poynt
,
is
a
thing
of
none
account
at
all
,
as
the
sequell
shewed
.
For
that
small
influence
that
it
had
,
began
the
sixt
day
of
Iuly
,
lasted
two
monethes
,
and
ended
the
seuenth
of
September
following
in
the
same
yeare
.
Wherefore
the
effectes
thereof
can
not
by
any
Astrologicall
reason
be
deferred
till
May
1583
,
and
so
continue
a
yeare
.
Thus
is
there
neyther
good
nor
bad
can
bee
aspected
from
this
Ecclipse
.
As
for
the
comparing
with
other
Eclipses
is
néedlesse
.
But
one
example
muste
not
be
omitted
.
If
this
Eclipse
had
beene
darkned
three
pointes
as
it
was
not
(
thogh
he
so
say
therof
)
In
the
yeare
sayth
he
,
1536.
the
13.
day
of
Iune
,
at
one
of
the
clocke
after
noone
was
an
eclipse
of
the
Sun
in
the
seuenth
degree
of
Cancer
,
the
sun
was
darkned
eight
pointes
almoste
,
with
them
at
Tubing
,
but
much
lesse
with
vs
at
London
,
and
from
the
beginning
to
the
end
,
lasted
two
houres
and
sixe
minutes
.
The
effectes
whereof
began
in
Ianuary
following
,
the
tenth
day
,
and
lasted
two
yeeres
,
which
declareth
that
this
Eclips
could
not
foreshew
the
two
great
commotions
,
that
were
in
Lyncolneshire
and
Yorkshire
,
which
were
bothe
of
them
begun
&
ended
in
October
before
the
influence
of
this
eclipse
tooke
place
,
at
least
the
space
of
2.
monethes
.
But
for
confirmation
of
Art
,
let
vs
sée
what
happened
from
Ianuary
1537
till
Ianuary
1539.
when
as
the
influence
of
this
Eclipse
raged
.
In
February
there
was
stirred
a
rebellion
,
wherein
Carlile
was
besieged
.
In
April
after
ther
was
a
commotion
in
Sommersetshire
,
about
taking
vp
of
Corne
,
and
there
was
from
the
beginning
to
the
ende
,
aboue
sixtye
persons
executed
and
put
to
death
for
treason
,
rebellion
,
and
denying
the
Kinges
Supremacy
:
of
which
number
there
was
a
Marquesse
,
thrée
Lordes
,
sixe
Knightes
,
thrée
Abbotes
and
a
Ladye
,
that
was
brent
in
Smithfield
(
Quiae
Eclipsis
fuit
in
decima
domo
regis
,
&
prope
locum
solis
aphetae
suae
genesis
)
If
we
may
giue
credit
to
Cardane
,
al
so
in
the
time
there
were
sundry
abbeys
suppressed
,
the
black
Fryers
,
the
white
Fryers
&
the
Monckes
of
Charterhouse
,
soone
after
all
the
rest
,
(
Quia
in
nona
domo
quae
est
domus
religionis
)
As
for
any
dearth
or
scarsity
,
sicknesse
or
mortalitye
,
I
reade
of
none
that
followed
,
neither
of
inundations
or
flouds
but
great
hurt
by
fire
was
done
in
London
amongst
the
basketmakers
in
Roode
Lane
,
where
twelue
houses
and
nine
persons
were
burnt
in
the
space
of
thrée
howers
,
besides
frier
Forest
and
other
that
were
brent
in
Smithfield
,
and
a
great
many
of
Images
(
for
auoiding
of
Idolatry
)
were
burnt
at
Chelsey
(
Mars
feriebat
gradum
Eclipticu
quadrato
breuium
)
Likewise
on
a
sunday
at
the
sermon
time
,
appeared
at
Pauls
Crosse
the
Rood
of
grace
,
and
there
moued
the
mouth
and
lips
,
very
straunglie
.
But
it
was
brought
thither
out
of
Kent
,
and
with
sundry
deuises
made
so
to
doe
.
Afterwarde
by
the
same
Preacher
the
Bishop
of
Rochester
was
shewed
the
bloud
of
Hales
,
and
prooued
to
be
no
bloud
,
but
clarified
hony
mixte
with
Saffron
.
And
lastly
,
to
conclude
and
to
shew
,
that
some
good
as
well
as
ill
,
may
be
foreshewed
by
an
Eclipse
,
as
wel
priuatly
,
as
publiquely
,
particularly
,
as
generally
.
Ther
were
(
during
the
influence
of
that
Eclipse
)
18.
States
created
and
aduaunced
.
Also
the
vertuous
and
Godly
Prince
Edward
,
afterwardes
king
Edward
the
sixt
was
borne
,
a
great
ioye
to
the
whole
Lande
.
Also
the
Bible
in
english
was
set
in
euery
Church
of
the
Realme
for
all
men
to
read
:
And
thus
much
for
the
confutation
of
the
Astrologicall
discourse
and
positions
therin
contained
.
And
for
as
much
as
it
is
not
thuoght
sufficient
for
any
one
to
reprehend
or
reprooue
the
doinges
and
procedinges
of
other
writers
vnlesse
after
confutation
of
their
erroure
made
,
hee
séemeth
further
to
adde
of
his
owne
,
somewhat
either
more
Substantiall
in
doctrine
,
reasonabler
in
hearing
,
or
with
the
truth
of
the
matter
better
agreeing
.
I
haue
there
vppon
thought
it
not
amisse
,
to
follow
an
order
and
platfourme
of
iudgement
in
the
declaration
hereof
vsed
by
Ptholomy
,
and
other
learned
wryters
of
later
tyme
.
Wherein
it
is
first
requisite
to
vnderstand
,
who
at
this
present
is
Lorde
of
the
great
Orbe
,
what
the
signe
of
the
same
is
,
as
also
the
degree
profectionall
,
and
the
diuisor
thereof
.
Likewise
the
Ascendent
of
the
coniunction
,
and
reuolution
,
and
lastly
,
who
hath
the
Dominion
in
the
coniunction
,
or
preuention
next
and
imediately
going
before
the
same
.
Al
which
,
for
the
better
vnderstanding
of
that
which
followeth
,
I
wil
breifly
in
order
set
down
,
therby
that
it
may
appeare
,
who
of
these
twaine
thus
conioined
hath
most
force
and
dominion
in
all
or
most
,
of
the
former
considerations
,
for
that
the
coniunction
simply
of
it selfe
,
vnlesse
it
hath
a
further
consent
of
the
premisses
,
can
not
pretend
or
forshew
any
great
matter
worthy
the
penning
.
Much
lesse
the
alteration
of
Kingdomes
,
the
comming
of
Christe
in
iudgement
,
or
consumation
of
the
world
.
For
as
much
as
it
is
a
matter
vsually
hapning
once
in
each
twentie
yéer
,
foure
times
in
euery
signe
,
and
twelue
times
in
euery
Trygon
before
they
shyft
,
or
chaunge
the
same
.
So
that
within
the
space
of
two
hundred
fourty
yeares
,
they
are
twelue
tymes
conioyned
togither
,
and
not
abooue
.
And
what
horrible
matters
about
twentie
yeares
last
past
,
in
respect
of
the
former
resited
haue
hapned
,
there
are
none
of
sufficient
yeares
,
who
are
not
able
to
testifie
.
And
therfore
moste
straunge
it
is
,
that
the
audacitie
of
euery
slender
student
in
this
science
,
should
be
such
as
vpon
so
small
causes
so
certainly
and
peremptorily
,
to
pronounce
such
great
and
wonderful
effects
,
assuring
the
same
vpon
his
credit
.
But
how
so
euer
his
credit
be
,
certaine
I
am
,
that
thorowe
the
like
rashe
,
and
vnlearned
attempts
the
art
it self
,
hath
béen
greatly
discredited
.
In
so
much
as
it
is
in
a
maner
contemned
of
the
common
people
:
the
which
was
in
times
past
estéemed
both
of
Prince
and
Potentate
in
such
sort
as
they
became
earnest
Students
therof
.
Wherfore
,
it
were
to
be
wished
,
that
some
of
the
chiefest
Mathematicians
of
this
Age
,
and
of
this
our
Country
wel
learned
,
and
long
experienced
,
would
vndertake
the
wryting
of
these
,
and
the
like
cases
,
wherby
other
yunger
Schollers
might
bee
the
more
benefited
,
and
the
common
wealth
the
better
profited
.
And
were
there
any
cause
of
feare
by
this
Coniunction
portended
,
it
were
more
reasonable
and
conuenient
,
that
Liberati
the
Italian
,
shoulde
rather
admonish
the
kingdome
of
France
,
and
Italy
his
country
,
then
threaten
the
realme
of
England
thereby
.
For
that
in
the
yere
of
our
Lord
1524.
after
the
like
Coniunction
in
Pisces
,
the
French
king
was
taken
prisoner
,
at
the
siege
of
Paui
,
by
the
Duke
of
Bourbon
:
which
in
dispight
of
the
Cardinall
Wolsey
,
went
to
Rome
,
besieged
the
Citie
,
his
Souldiers
fact
and
spoiled
it
,
the
Pope
driuen
to
fly
to
the
castle
of
S.
Angelo
,
wher
hee
continued
long
in
calamitye
.
The
seconde
yeare
after
,
was
a
peace
concluded
betweene
England
and
France
,
the
fift
yeare
following
was
the
newe
Testament
translated
into
Englishe
by
William
Tindall
,
and
printed
:
the
sixt
year
following
,
the
Pope
was
banished
,
and
suite
to
the
courte
of
Rome
forbidden
,
and
the
same
year
died
Cardinal
Wolsey
,
all
which
I
am
perswaded
,
was
no
losse
to
England
,
likewise
the
cleargy
was
condemned
in
the
premunire
.
No
other
great
matter
happned
in
this
land
,
by
the
space
of
10.
years
after
that
Coniunction
,
except
it
were
the
losse
of
the
holy
mayde
of
Kent
:
who
with
her
complices
,
Monkes
,
and
Fryers
,
were
worthely
executed
and
put
to
death
,
and
certaine
houses
of
obseruaunt
Friers
put
downe
.
But
to
return
from
whence
I
first
digressed
,
the
signe
of
the
great
Orbe
at
this
present
,
is
Gemini
.
The
Lady
and
gouernesse
of
the
Orbe
,
Venus
.
The
degree
of
the
profection
the
twenty
eight
of
Libra
,
the
diuisor
Mars
,
the
ascendent
of
the
coniunction
,
the
twentie
nine
degree
,
and
51.
minutes
of
Pisces
.
The
Lady
of
the
hour
of
the
sayd
coniunction
Venus
.
The
Lord
and
gouernour
of
the
preuention
,
precéeding
Venus
.
Al
which
considered
,
it
euidently
appeareth
that
Saturn
hath
no
Dominion
in
any
of
the
premises
,
much
lesse
in
al
,
or
the
most
of
them
.
And
therefore
were
he
Potentior
Joue
in
loco
coniunctionis
,
as
some
in
considerately
haue
supposed
him
,
yet
cold-he
not
at
this
present
,
work
those
effects
by
him
signified
,
by
reason
of
his
dissent
and
disagréement
otherwise
.
But
according
as
Iels
where
promised
.
I
wil
first
begin
with
the
doctrine
of
Ptolemy
,
in
the
sixtie
three
proposition
of
his
Centiloquium
,
whose
words
are
these
.
Cum
Saturnus
Iupiterque
cōiūgunter
vtrum
eorum
sublimior
sit
vide
,
&
iuxta
illius
naturam
pronuntiato
.
The
which
proposition
containeth
much
matter
,
and
very
difficult
in
few
wordes
.
For
by
the
word
coniunction
,
as
some
of
the
learned
haue
interpreted
,
he
meaneth
in
the
same
place
,
Coniunctionem
tam
secundum
latitudinem
,
quam
longitudinem
.
Both
which
at
this
present
by
great
good
hap
,
in
a
maner
concurre
,
though
the
same
by
the
Aucthor
bee
neglected
and
omitted
.
A
farther
consideration
than
the
whiche
notwithstanding
of
other
some
there
is
required
herein
,
the
vniting
and
contaction
of
their
bodies
,
the
whiche
(
for
that
the
difference
of
their
Latitudes
is
more
than
the
Semidiameters
of
their
bodies
)
can
not
be
:
for
as
muche
as
the
Semidiameter
of
the
bodie
of
Saturne
is
but
4.
minutes
,
and
the
Semidiameter
of
the
bodie
of
Iupiter
is
6.
minutes
,
bothe
whiche
added
together
maketh
10.
minutes
,
and
the
difference
of
their
Latitudes
is
26.
minutes
:
Ergo
,
it
appeareth
as
is
saied
:
and
how
requisite
this
third
consideration
is
in
the
iudgement
of
corporall
Coniunctions
:
saie
thei
,
the
Eclipse
of
the
Sunne
and
the
Moone
doth
euidently
declare
.
For
that
when
as
the
Latitude
of
the
Moone
exceedeth
the
Semidiameter
of
both
their
bodies
,
there
happeneth
no
Eclipse
,
be
the
Coniunction
otherwise
neuer
so
partile
,
the
which
opinion
although
it
bee
very
reasonable
and
probatle
,
yet
will
I
not
much
stande
therevppon
,
for
that
it
seldome
happeneth
to
concurre
with
the
two
former
considerations
,
and
yet
the
Coniunction
pretending
matter
to
insue
:
how
be
it
it
must
of
necessitie
be
graunted
when
it
so
happeneth
,
to
be
the
more
significatiue
,
and
of
greater
effect
Ceteris
paribus
.
The
second
point
contained
in
the
former
proposition
,
is
to
consider
in
this
Coniunction
Quis
eleuatur
super
alterum
,
the
whiche
worde
eleuatio
,
for
that
it
is
somewhat
ambiguous
,
is
therefore
diuersly
vnderstoode
of
sondrie
Writers
,
some
takyng
it
in
one
sence
and
some
in
other
,
as
Trapezuntius
commentyng
vpon
the
same
proposition
vnderstandeth
Per
eleuationem
altitudinem
planetae
in
epiciclo
,
affirming
that
when
soeuer
two
Planets
are
conioyned
together
,
he
that
is
nearest
of
the
twaine
vnto
the
Apogeon
of
his
Epicicle
,
dicitur
eleuatus
super
alterum
,
&
when
they
are
of
like
distaunce
from
the
former
Apogeon
:
Quod
nullus
eleuatur
supra
alterum
:
And
some
there
are
,
as
Guido
,
and
such
like
,
who
referre
the
same
vnto
the
latitudes
of
the
planets
so
conioyned
thus
saiyng
thereof
,
that
if
it
happen
their
Latitudes
to
be
both
one
way
and
into
the
North
,
he
whose
Latitude
is
greater
to
be
eleuated
aboue
the
other
,
but
if
bothe
their
Latitudes
bee
into
the
South
,
them
he
to
be
eleuated
whose
latitude
is
least
of
the
twaine
:
If
the
latitude
of
the
one
bee
into
the
North
,
and
the
Latitude
of
the
other
into
the
South
,
then
he
whose
Latitude
is
into
the
North
,
is
eleuated
aboue
the
other
in
to
the
South
:
but
if
their
Latitudes
be
bothe
one
way
and
like
muche
,
then
he
who
is
ascendent
to
be
eleuated
aboue
the
other
descendent
in
the
same
,
and
when
as
neither
of
them
haue
any
Latitude
from
the
Ecliptike
,
then
none
to
be
eleuated
aboue
the
other
,
and
a
third
sorte
there
are
who
consider
Per
eleuationem
,
declinationem
ab
Equatore
:
saiyng
,
that
in
this
and
the
like
Coniunctions
,
it
is
to
be
considered
,
Quis
planetarum
habet
maiorem
declinationem
,
whiche
if
they
happen
to
bee
bothe
into
the
North
,
then
he
who
hath
the
greatest
declination
of
the
twaine
is
thought
to
be
eleuated
aboue
the
other
:
but
if
their
declination
bee
into
the
Southe
,
he
whose
declination
is
lesse
of
the
twain
:
but
if
so
be
that
the
declination
of
the
one
be
into
the
North
,
and
the
declination
of
the
other
into
the
Southe
,
then
he
who
hath
his
declination
in
to
the
North
:
but
if
their
declinations
bee
bothe
one
waie
,
and
equidistaunt
from
the
Equator
,
then
none
to
be
eleuated
aboue
other
,
and
they
seeme
to
yeeld
this
reason
of
their
opinion
,
that
he
who
hath
the
greater
declination
of
the
twaine
bothe
beeyng
into
the
North
,
hath
likewise
the
greater
altitude
Meridian
,
and
therefore
commeth
of
the
twaine
nearest
vnto
our
Zenith
or
Verticall
,
the
highest
and
nearest
poynt
of
our
Countrey
,
but
when
as
their
declinations
are
bothe
into
the
South
,
the
reason
is
contrarie
,
for
that
he
whose
declination
is
then
moste
,
hath
the
least
altitude
Meridian
of
the
twaine
,
and
when
their
declinations
are
bothe
one
waie
and
like
muche
,
then
is
the
altitude
Meridian
one
and
the
same
,
and
none
commeth
nearer
to
our
Verticall
then
the
other
.
A
fourth
sorte
likewise
there
are
,
and
they
no
small
number
,
who
vnderstande
Per
eleuationem
,
the
distaunce
of
a
Planett
from
the
Apogeon
of
his
Eccentriciti
,
so
that
hee
who
commeth
nearest
vnto
the
same
,
is
by
them
eleuated
aboue
the
other
,
and
if
they
bee
both
equidistaunt
from
the
same
,
then
he
who
is
ascendent
in
his
Eccentriciti
aboue
the
other
descendyng
:
but
if
bothe
ascendyng
or
bothe
descendyng
and
equidistaunt
from
the
same
,
then
none
eleuated
aboue
other
,
who
thinke
themselues
to
haue
great
reason
of
their
opinion
,
because
it
is
daily
seene
by
the
Sonne
and
other
Planettes
,
the
nearer
they
come
vnto
the
same
,
the
more
they
are
eleuated
aboue
the
earth
,
and
higher
and
further
from
vs
.
A
fift
sorte
there
are
,
who
vnderstande
eleuationem
after
a
farre
other
maner
,
referryng
the
same
vnto
the
essentiall
dignities
of
the
Planettes
,
pronounsing
that
Planet
in
any
Coniunction
to
be
eleuated
aboue
the
other
,
who
hath
Plures
dignitates
in
loco
coniunctionis
:
saiyng
,
that
he
in
reason
ought
to
haue
the
superioritie
in
any
suche
case
,
who
hath
moste
to
doe
therein
:
alledgyng
Pthol
.
in
his
thirde
booke
in
the
tracte
de
animae
facultatibus
for
their
warrant
in
this
behalfe
,
whose
words
are
these
:
Magna
autem
est
vis
planetarum
potentiorum
,
&
eleuatorum
super
mercurium
&
lunam
,
where
it
is
euident
by
that
whiche
goeth
before
the
same
,
as
thus
:
Quum
autem
sunt
in
proprijs
,
&
familiaribus
locis
,
&
dignitatibus
planetae
gubernantes
animi
inclinationes
&c.
And
Cardane
commenting
vpon
the
said
tracte
,
affirmeth
no
lesse
.
A
sixt
and
last
sorte
vnderstande
Per
eleuationem
altitudinem
planetae
super
Horizontem
,
accompting
that
Planett
to
bee
eleuated
aboue
the
other
,
who
is
nearest
to
the
Meridian
of
the
twaine
:
As
the
Planet
in
the
12.
house
aboue
an
other
in
the
ascendent
,
and
one
in
the
11.
aboue
the
same
in
the
12.
and
one
in
the
10.
aboue
the
same
in
the
11.
For
as
much
say
thei
as
it
is
daiely
seen
,
that
as
the
Sunne
passeth
these
positions
and
houses
,
he
ascendeth
higher
and
higher
vntill
he
come
vnto
the
highest
poynt
thereof
,
and
his
heate
and
force
in
eache
of
the
saied
pointes
more
and
more
encreasing
,
vntill
he
come
at
the
full
Meridian
and
highest
poynt
from
the
Horizon
.
And
of
this
opinion
is
the
learned
Leonitius
in
his
iudgement
de
natiuitatibus
in
the
chapter
de
coniugio
,
his
wordes
beeyng
these
:
Saturnus
proxime
supra
vtrumque
significatricem
coniugij
,
stellam
(
lunam
ac
venerem
)
eleuatus
,

,

:
&
other
late
Writers
for
the
better
maintainyng
of
this
opinion
,
alledge
the
aucthoritie
of
Pthol
.
in
the
thirde
Booke
in
the
tracte
de
lesionibus
,
&
morbis
corporis
.
Whose
wordes
are
these
:
Rursus

.
iuncta
Saturno
,
aut

,
Mars
super

&c.
And
in
the
fourth
Booke
in
the
Chapter
de
facultatibus
,
alledgyng
these
wordes
following
:
Considerentur
alij
fausti
planetarum

illi
qui
eleuantur
super

ex
eadem
vel

And
again
in
the
same
Booke
in
the
tracte
de
magisterio
as
followeth
:
&
cum
beneficae
stella
sunt
eleuati
super

,
faciunt
magnos
gloriosos
&c.
Econtra
cum
malefici
eleuantur
super
dominatores
,
faciunt
submissos
ignobiles
,
nihil
lucrantes
&c.
In
all
whiche
places
alledged
it
is
euident
say
thei
that
the
authors
vnderstand
,
Per
eleuationem
,
altitudinem
planetae
quoad
mundum
vel
Horizontem
,
by
reason
of
whiche
diuersitie
and
contrarietie
of
opinions
,
it
is
not
a
little
difficult
to
determine
the
eleuation
or
superiority
of
these
twaine
thus
conioyned
:
but
for
as
muche
as
the
proposition
before
resited
is
taken
out
of
Pthol
I
thincke
it
most
reasonable
to
confirme
his
meaning
herein
by
hymself
,
and
the
like
wordes
vsed
of
hym
els
where
,
takyng
eleuationem
in
this
place
in
bothe
the
sences
by
hym
alledged
,
accordyng
vnto
bothe
whiche
it
will
appeare
that
Iupiter
is
Sublimior
of
the
twaine
.
First
,
for
that
he
is
in
domo
propria
&
dominus
coniunctionis
,
&
Saturne
hauyng
no
one
dignitie
therein
,
nor
ought
to
doe
in
the
same
.
Secondly
,
because
hee
is
Saturno
eleuatior
quo
ad
mundum
vel
Horizontem
,
whereof
there
maie
bee
some
doubt
,
consideryng
that
thei
are
both
in
one
degree
and
minute
very
partilly
conioyned
,
which
not
withstandyng
because
Iupiter
his
latitude
is
least
of
the
twaine
,
his
distaunce
therefore
a
Meridie
must
be
least
of
them
bothe
,
and
therfore
his
altitude
aboue
the
Horizon
most
,
Et
ergo
sublimior
Saturno
:
What
then
followeth
in
the
former
proposition
,
Iuxta
illius
naturam
pronunciaeto
,
wher
by
it
is
manifest
that
this
said
Coniunction
of
the
two
superiour
followeth
the
influence
,
operation
,
and
propertie
of
the
moste
happy
,
prosperous
and
beneuolent
Planette
Iupiter
,
whose
influence
and
irradiation
is
not
at
any
tyme
to
work
hurt
to
any
,
muche
lesse
when
as
he
is
strong
in
hymself
,
well
affected
,
and
disposed
,
and
hauyng
the
prorogatiue
and
preheminence
aboue
the
rest
,
for
when
at
any
tyme
he
hath
the
Dominion
and
gouernement
of
an
Eclipse
,
a
matter
farre
more
significatiue
then
this
seely
and
simple
Coniunction
,
consideryng
that
the
said
Iupiter
the
gouernor
and
disposer
thereof
is
neither
dominus
ascendentis
coniunctionis
,
because
the
ascendent
is
the
last
degree
&
almost
last
minute
of
the
signe
Pisces
:
neither
dominus
ascendentis
reuolutionis
:
neither
dominus
orbis
magni
,
nor
preuentionis
prox
.
precedentis
.
For
Pthol
.
writing
and
declaryng
the
naturall
causes
of
generall
calamities
,
ascribeth
more
vnto
the
Eclipses
then
vnto
any
other
:
thus
saying
of
them
,
Prima
&
efficacissima
talium
euentuum
causa
,
est
copulatio
solis
&
lunae
in
defectibus
:
And
next
after
Eclipses
,
he
affirmeth
Cometts
and
blasing
Starres
to
haue
a
greate
affect
and
signification
,
whereof
he
thus
testifieth
in
the
28.
proposition
of
his
Centiloquium
.
Tratectiones
atque
crinitae
secunda
partes
in
Iudicijs
ferunt
,
and
yet
whensoeuer
this
Planette
Iupiter
or
Venus
haue
the
whole
dominion
in
either
of
the
said
places
,
as
they
haue
in
this
Coniunction
,
they
turne
the
significations
thereof
,
vnto
much
good
prosperous
happe
and
effect
,
as
appeareth
by
the
saied
Pthol
.
Thus
writyng
of
the
said
Iupiter
in
the
seconde
Booke
in
his
tracte
de
eclipsibus
there
inquiryng
,
Quales
futuri
sunt
euentus
boni
vel
mali
.
Thus
muche
affirmyng
of
the
saied
Planette
Iupiter
cum
solus
dominatur
,
incrementa
efficit
,
cumque
euentus
ad
homines
pertinent
,
gloriam
,
fertilitatem
,
tranquillitatem
,
&
pacem
significat
&c.
And
no
lesse
signification
hath
the
saied
Iupiter
and
Venus
,
and
either
of
them
in
the
dominion
of
Comettes
and
Meteors
,
as
witnesseth
Mizaldus
and
others
,
who
haue
written
de
Cometographiae
and
were
this
not
so
,
Commets
and
Eclipses
could
not
at
any
tyme
signifie
and
pretende
good
happ
and
effect
to
followe
and
ensue
:
the
contrarie
whereof
experience
doeth
testifie
:
for
as
muche
as
after
the
appearance
of
the
Comette
in
Libra
the
Diurnall
house
of
Venus
,
and
vnder
the
beames
and
irradiation
of
the
moste
prosperous
and
beneuolent
Planett
Iupiter
,
in
the
Natiuitie
of
our
Sauiour
,
there
followed
greate
ioye
,
peace
and
comforte
vnto
the
whole
worlde
,
and
what
good
effectes
haue
insued
of
Eclipses
in
particular
Countries
,
eache
meane
Chronographer
is
able
to
testifie
.
If
then
in
suche
greate
matters
as
Eclipses
and
Comettes
,
the
force
of
these
Planettes
bee
suche
,
vppon
their
dominion
there
,
I
see
no
cause
but
to
hope
and
expect
the
like
hereafter
,
the
power
and
authoritie
of
Iupiter
and
Venus
being
no
lesse
in
this
Coniunction
,
the
one
quia
dominus
,
the
other
quia
Almuten
,
and
the
same
so
muche
the
rather
for
that
the
saied
Iupiter
hath
none
eleuated
aboue
hym
thereby
to
lett
and
inhibite
his
influence
,
but
is
both
the
highest
and
the
strongest
in
the
figure
,
and
therefore
the
good
effectes
promised
therby
so
muche
the
more
,
as
witnesseth
Pthol
.
in
his
seconde
Booke
de
predictionibus
Astronomicis
:
His
wordes
being
these
:
Etenim

aliqua

,
si
non

:
Wherefore
it
is
requisite
to
shewe
and
declare
to
whom
and
what
Countries
this
saied
good
by
this
Coniunction
promised
is
especially
portended
:
for
as
muche
as
it
were
absurde
in
reason
to
thincke
this
same
to
bee
prefigured
vnto
the
whole
,
or
vnto
these
to
whom
the
same
in
the
Exacte
tyme
of
the
Coniunction
doth
not
appeare
:
For
as
a
Comett
signifieth
not
but
vnto
those
to
whom
the
same
doeth
first
shewe
and
appeare
:
or
an
Eclipse
,
but
vnto
such
as
se
and
behold
the
same
,
their
reuolutions
notwithstandyng
about
the
whole
within
the
space
of
foure
and
twentie
houres
:
the
like
consideration
therefore
of
this
Coniunction
not
without
cause
at
this
present
in
this
behalfe
,
accordyng
to
the
whiche
tyme
and
position
it
seemeth
moste
reasonable
to
thincke
the
good
effectes
by
this
Coniunction
promised
and
presaged
,
especially
to
touche
suche
Regions
and
Countreis
,
as
lye
vnder
the
influence
thereof
,
and
as
haue
the
said
Iupiter
their
patron

,

those
Countries
that
are
subiect
vnto
the

of

or

wherein
the

of

placed
:
And
for
as
muche
as
the
signe
wherein
the
Coniunction
wil
happen
is
knowne
to
be
of
the
fourth

last
triplicitie
,
it
hath
his
signification
in
the

liyng
in

What
is
hereby
to
be
thought
?
but
that
the
imprisoned
in
the
saied
places
to
bee
released
,
&
the
captiues
set
at
libertie
,
their
dearth
&
penurie
turned
into
more
abundance
&
plentie
,
their
feare
to
ioy
,
their
thraldome
to
libertie
,
their
sorrow
to
comfort
,
&
their
long
warre
to
sodaine
and
short
peace
,
&
the
same
so
much
the
rather
,
if
other
more
forcible
&
effectual
causes
concur
with
the
same
as
the
two
eclipses
héereafter
following
,
the
one
lighting
néere
vnto
the
degrée
of
the
sayd
coniunction
,
&
the
other
not
far
from
the
degrée
oposite
to
the
same
,
but
the
good
before
promised
is
not
like
presently
to
take
effect
,
but
after
certain
smal
tresons
,
trecheries
,
secret
conspirasies
,
&
a
few
like
troubles
before
going
:
for
although
Iupiter
haue
héerin
the
victorie
&
superioritie
,
disposing
for
the
most
part
the
coniunction
after
his
own
inclination
&
disposition
:
yet
can
it
not
be
denied
,
but
the
Saturne
worketh
therin
some
little
and
smal
effect
,
though
nothing
in
respect
of
the
former
good
,
&
far
lesse
then
otherwise
he
would
,
had
he
had
the
superioritie
and
supremacie
therein
.
And
it
may
séeme
somwhat
strange
thus
to
think
,
considering
that
the
said
Saturne
is
in
this
coniunction
peregrine
,
weake
,
&
without
dignitie
,
as
also
in
domo
cadente
,
a
weak
place
of
the
figure
,
wher
vnto
I
answere
,
which
Haly
,
Abenragell
,
&
other
,
that
although
he
be
without
dignitie
,
yet
is
he
not
voide
of
influence
,
as
also
that
the
malefici
being
peregrine
,
are
then
readier
&
apter
to
mischiefe
then
otherwise
:
howbeit
their
force
&
abilitie
,
as
then
not
answerable
to
their
will
,
as
appeareth
in
the
direction
of
an
Aphaeta
,
vnto
a
weake
&
peregrine
Anaraeta
,
and
although
Saturne
be
in
Cadente
,
yet
must
it
be
considered
with
al
,
that
he
is
in
domo
in
qua
gaudet
.
And
therefore
it
is
not
anie
way
to
be
intended
,
that
the
dominion
and
superioritie
of
the
one
,
can
quite
&
wholly
extinguish
the
influence
&
operation
of
the
other
,
but
rather
causeth
it
to
appere
mild
,
weak
,
féeble
,
and
verie
remisse
,
Vt
rerum
vmbrae
potius
,
quam
res
ipsae
videantur
,
that
otherwise
would
appeare
,
In
intenciori
ac
summo
gradu
.
And
for
as
much
as
Cardane
in
his
first
comment
vpon
the
second
booke
of
Pthol
.
his
quadrupartite
,
there
speaking
somewhat
of
the
coniunction
of
the
second
superiour
planets
,
Saturne
&
Iupiter
,
thus
saith
of
them
.
Hi
tamen
effectus
vt
dictum
est
,
ab
eclipsibus
augentur
vel
minuantur
,
vel
etiam
ad
effectum
ducuntur
.
And
therfore
I
will
héer
after
(
when
as
I
haue
occasion
to
write
of
those
two
eclipses
before
mentioned
)
diligently
consider
what
consent
,
or
discent
they
haue
with
the
same
,
&
accordingly
to
yéeld
my
censure
&
opinion
thereof
,
knowing
not
what
shuld
moue
the
author
of
the
late
Astrologicall
discourse
,
without
the
consent
of
anie
of
the
former
considerations
,
so
much
to
ascribe
vnto
the
said
coniunction
,
vnlesse
the
remembrance
of
the
fiftie
proposition
Centiloquij
Ptho
.
the
words
being
these
.
Ne
prete●mittas
centum
&
decem
nouem
coniunctiones
,
in
his
enim
posita
est
vis
eorum
quae
fiunt
in
mundo
,
&
generationis
&
corruptionis
.
The
which
words
,
if
hée
simply
vnderstand
,
without
any
further
respect
(
as
I
am
certainly
perswaded
of
no
lesse
)
,
than
sée
I
no
cause
but
that
he
may
vpon
the
same
ground
take
no
lesse
occasion
to
pronounce
the
like
meruailes
&
miracles
,
vpon
the
coniunction
of
the
two
luminaries
,
the
Sunne
&
the
Moone
,
a
matter
happening
once
euery
month
,
the
same
being
one
of
the
Centum
&
decem
nouem
coniunctiones
there
specified
.
But
for
that
I
purposed
not
to
be
ouer
tedious
and
troublesome
vnto
your
worship
in
this
behalfe
,
I
wil
at
this
present
cease
the
further
examination
&
declaration
héereof
,
hoping
that
your
worship
will
accept
in
good
part
,
my
simple
and
true
meaning
héerin
,
vntill
such
time
as
it
may
please
the
Almightie
,
to
indue
me
with
a
farther
knowledge
in
this
science
,
worthie
the
better
liking
and
contentation
of
your
worship
.
Your
worships
to
command
