OF
THE
CONcord
or
common
felowship
of
the
seuen
Planets
,
as
also
of
their
breadefull
debate
and
discorde
.
IT
is
manyfest
and
approued
by
argumentes
of
force
,
and
reasons
of
more
secret
and
hid
phylosophy
,
likewise
by
demonstration
and
conclusions
Mathematicall
,
that
all
Creatures
whatsoeuer
whych
haue
their
being
essence
,
and
preseruation
vpon
the
face
of
the
whole
Earth
,
or
els
be
contayned
within
the
Regions
or
Precinct
of
the
Ayre
aboue
,
and
subiected
vnder
the
circle
or
Sphere
of
the
Moone
,
haue
&
receiue
their
influence
of
the
higher
and
more
Celestiall
bodies
or
Planets
:
and
after
a
certayne
sorte
(
sayth
Proclus
)
they
resi
&
depend
of
them
.
And
heerem
his
saying
seemed
not
to
bee
amisse
,
for
that
experience
playnly
teacheth
vs
,
and
we
also
see
that
there
is
nothinge
heere
belowe
so
able
,
stronge
,
or
riche
of
it selfe
,
that
being
voyde
or
destitute
of
the
fauour
or
furtheraunce
of
the
celestiall
bodies
aboue
,
can
be
well
pleased
and
contented
with
it selfe
.
Agrippa
is
in
that
opinion
that
at
the
former
constitution
or
first
breedinge
of
euery
ech
thinge
,
both
that
which
lyueth
,
as
also
that
which
is
deuoyde
of
lyfe
(
as
likewise
at
the
committure
or
composition
of
the
Clements
for
the
morease
of
any
baser
kindes
)
the
bountifulnes
of
certayne
planets
is
such
oftentimes
,
that
besides
the
beneficialnesse
of
the
owne
nature
of
the
thinges
themselues
(
which
worketh
alwayes
liberally
)
there
is
a
further
free
gyft
bestowed
vpon
euery
the
sayd
thinges
,
and
kindes
by
the
Planets
themselues
:
and
the
same
more
rightly
or
preciously
when
as
they
meete
together
in
more
happy
signe
,
or
be
in
higher
Horoscope
or
Ascendent
.
Plato
wyth
his
Consectaryes
doe
affyrme
,
that
all
these
Daughters
or
progeny
of
Dame
Nature
,
are
euery
one
of
them
first
sealed
&
(
as
it
were
)
marked
of
the
starres
and
Planets
aboue
,
whereby
in
euery
thing
they
haue
to
chalenge
their
owne
.
And
euen
as
by
God
the
greatest
&
mightiest
of
all
,
and
the
first
and
principall
cause
of
all
things
,
all
creatures
are
disposed
generally
to
a
like
frame
and
customable
order
of
the
selfe
same
kinde
:
so
in
lyke
sorte
by
the
seconde
causes
the
Planets
although
inferiours
yet
working
causes
,
all
things
here
vnderueath
are
in
more
speciall
sorte
sealed
and
ensampled
.
Easy
it
is
to
see
that
there
is
no
one
parte
in
all
the
whole
proportion
&
workmanship
of
mans
body
,
that
is
not
ruled
or
disposed
by
some
one
Planet
or
other
,
to
affectate
that
most
of
all
other
thinges
which
the
superior
force
doth
frame
them
and
enclyne
them
vnto
:
so
that
vnto
me
all
the
whole
body
of
man
,
as
also
the
bodies
of
all
other
creatures
here
below
,
seeme
to
be
possessed
,
busied
,
and
as
it
were
incensed
and
set
on
worke
by
them
.
As
for
example
.
To
begin
with
Sol
or
the
Sunne
,
it
is
apparant
how
he
holdeth
,
gouerneth
,
and
hath
in
possession
the
Braynes
and
forepart
of
the
head
,
the
heart
,
the
marrow
,
the
right
Eye
,
the
vitall
Spirite
or
breath
of
life
:
likewise
the
Mouth
,
the
tongue
,
and
all
other
the
Organes
or
instruments
of
sense
,
or
feeling
:
besides
this
,
he
chalengeth
the
hands
,
the
feete
,
the
Synewes
,
the
Imagination
,
and
whole
operation
of
the
powre
phantasticall
.
The
Moone
likewise
hath
in
her
subiection
&
ordreth
after
a
certayne
sorte
all
the
whole
body
,
in
such
wise
as
both
the
humors
and
moysture
both
naturall
,
and
accidental
:
doth
either
abounde
in
them
or
dyminishe
and
lessen
,
according
to
her
prime
and
wane
.
And
whereas
shee
thus
worketh
generally
in
all
sortes
according
to
her
owne
variation
,
so
in
the
speciall
members
and
partes
of
the
body
,
shee
especially
ruleth
in
the
Lunges
,
and
dealeth
also
with
a
great
portion
of
the
Brayne
.
Hers
is
also
the
Marrow
of
the
Backbone
,
as
also
the
stomacke
,
the
lest
Eye
,
with
all
the
other
partes
that
yeelde
forth
&
auoyde
the
excrementes
,
and
superfluities
of
the
body
,
with
the
powre
and
vertue
increasinge
.
Saturne
is
lord
ouer
the
Lyuer
,
and
hath
to
doe
with
the
bottome
or
lowest
parte
of
the
stomacke
.
Iupiter
chalengeth
a
righte
in
the
Belly
,
as
likewise
in
the
Nauell
:
in
so
much
that
in
the
Temple
of
Iupiter
Hammon
in
Lybia
,
the
figure
or
lykenesse
of
a
Mans
Nauell
was
hanged
vp
,
to
fignifie
thereby
that
the
thorough
closing
and
fastning
together
of
the
Belly
belongeth
onely
to
Iupiter
himselfe
.
Likewise
hee
holdeth
the
Ribbes
,
and
the
place
aboute
the
priuities
,
as
also
the
Bowels
,
&
Entrailes
within
.
Moreouer
the
best
and
more
principall
bloude
is
his
,
as
also
both
the
armes
,
and
both
the
handes
,
as
well
the
righte
as
the
left
,
with
all
the
whole
powre
&
vertue
Nutritiue
,
whereby
the
whole
body
is
nourished
and
maynteyned
.
To
Mars
appertayneth
and
belongeth
the
seconde
&
more
base
Bloude
,
as
also
the
Vaines
,
the
Ridney
,
the
Celles
or
placinges
of
the
Chest
,
the
Backe
,
the
Buttockes
,
the
Corse
and
abundaunce
of
Seede
,
as
also
all
that
full
powre
of
the
Stomacke
wherein
Choler
is
ingendred
.
Proper
to
Mercury
is
the
Splene
,
the
Mylte
,
the
Bladder
,
the
Matrix
,
and
all
those
places
within
the
Body
which
are
naturally
appoynted
to
the
onely
vse
and
office
of
nourishing
.
Venus
ruleth
the
Secret
partes
,
and
ordereth
the
naturall
Seede
,
and
also
causeth
and
prounketh
to
the
Lust
and
Appetite
of
thinges
.
It
may
be
perceyued
also
that
in
some
one
parte
of
the
body
,
they
will
all
seuen
beare
a
sway
.
Hermes
sayth
,
that
in
the
head
of
man
there
are
seuen
Pores
or
holes
,
allotted
to
dyuerse
and
sundry
offices
,
of
the
which
euery
one
of
them
is
subiect
to
a
sundry
Planet
.
As
that
Pore
or
hole
which
is
in
the
righte
Eare
apperteineth
to
Saturne
:
that
in
the
left
to
Iupiter
:
Mars
also
hath
the
gouernment
of
that
which
is
in
the
right
side
of
the
nose
:
Venus
the
contrary
:
Sol
is
maister
ouer
that
which
holdeth
the
stringes
of
the
Eye
:
Luna
ouer
the
other
in
the
left
Eye
:
and
all
the
whole
workmanship
of
the
mouth
is
proper
alone
to
Mercury
.
Great
&
graciouse
also
are
all
such
Benefites
of
Mankinde
,
as
also
the
other
baser
kyndes
doe
estsoones
receiue
of
the
Planets
,
especially
when
as
those
of
like
condition
,
nature
,
&
quality
doe
meete
together
in
gracious
signes
of
like
house
.
And
contrariwise
heauy
and
hearde
is
their
happe
,
fortune
,
and
chaunce
,
which
haue
and
obtayne
any
thing
of
them
as
they
be
in
battlement
,
stryfe
,
&
contencion
among
them selues
.
Wherefore
I
shall
not
greatly
do
amysse
,
if
in
this
place
I
briefly
touch
,
which
of
them
with
other
are
in
friendly
league
and
likance
,
&
in
like
sorte
,
which
of
them
with
other
are
at
deadly
discorde
,
and
disagreement
.
Friends
to
Saturne
and
his
welwillers
are
Iupiter
.
Mercury
,
Sol
,
and
Luna
:
his
enemies
are
Mars
,
and
Vonus
.
Iupiters
friends
are
all
the
other
,
only
Mars
excepted
.
Mars
is
despised
and
detested
of
all
the
other
,
except
onely
of
Venus
.
Sol
is
in
great
friendship
with
Iupiter
and
Venus
,
and
in
greathatred
with
Mars
,
Mercury
,
and
Luna
.
Venus
hath
the
loue
of
all
the
rest
saue
onely
of
Saturne
.
In
friendship
with
Mercury
,
are
Iupiter
,
Venus
,
&
Saturne
:
his
enemies
are
Sol
,
Luna
,
&
Mars
.
Friends
to
Luna
,
are
Iupiter
,
Venus
,
and
Saturne
:
her
enemies
are
Mars
,
and
Mercury
.
Great
contencion
also
is
amongst
them
as
they
be
placed
in
contrary
house
:
as
betwene
Saturne
,
and
Venus
.
And
a
much
more
great
debate
or
strife
is
betwene
than
as
they
bee
in
Opposite
,
lofte
,
or
degree
in
Exaltation
.
Which
thing
is
often
shewed
forth
betwene
Saturne
,
and
Sol
:
Iupiter
,
&
Mars
:
Venus
,
and
Mercury
.
And
further
their
attonement
,
or
agreement
is
in
lyke
Nature
,
Quality
,
Substaunce
,
might
,
or
powre
:
as
is
of
Mars
,
and
Sol
:
Venus
,
and
Luna
:
Iupiter
,
and
Venus
.
In
so
much
that
it
was
not
without
iuste
cause
and
occast
in
that
Heraclitus
sayd
,
that
al
things
were
persited
and
made
by
a
proportion
fetched
from
friendship
and
discord
.
By
these
Planets
also
happeneth
better
chaunce
&
fortune
,
as
also
mischaunce
&
misfortune
.
Insomuch
that
some
of
them
are
tearmed
the
Gods
of
grace
and
fortune
:
as
is
Iupiter
whom
they
name
Fortuna
maior
,
the
greater
or
more
gracious
.
Likewise
Venus
,
who
in
the
rules
of
Astrologie
is
named
Fortuna
minor
,
as
if
you
woulde
say
lesse
gracious
,
and
yet
a
Lady
of
grace
.
The
other
are
called
the
Gods
of
mishap
or
casuall
chaunce
,
of
the
which
sort
is
Saturne
,
whom
they
name
Infortuna
maior
:
As
also
Mars
which
is
called
Infortuna
minor
.
And
Mercury
,
which
is
called
the
God
of
indifferency
,
who
is
for
al
companies
,
for
with
the
good
,
he
is
good
,
and
with
the
bad
,
he
is
as
bad
.
Sol
by
his
shyning
Sunne
beames
,
and
amiable
aspecte
or
countenaunce
,
is
cheareful
to
al
things
:
but
being
in
coniunction
with
other
or
eclypsed
,
both
hindreth
much
for
the
present
time
,
&
prognosticateth
,
&
threatneth
more
for
the
future
time
comming
.
The
moone
is
sent
in
message
from
one
to
another
,
and
hath
hir
recourse
and
passage
by
them
all
:
so
that
she
hurteth
or
benefiteth
as
occasion
serueth
by
them
,
&
from
them
.
By
Astrologie
also
they
haue
all
theyr
determynate
kinde
:
As
Venus
and
Luna
are
feminyne
or
of
the
woman
kinde
:
And
all
the
other
are
accompted
Masculine
,
or
after
men
.
They
are
also
deuided
into
Planets
of
the
day
,
and
Planets
of
the
nighte
.
The
day
Planets
are
Saturne
,
Iupiter
,
Sol
,
&
Mercurie
.
The
night
Planets
are
Mars
,
Venus
and
Luna
.
Againe
they
be
so
deuyded
as
that
certaine
of
them
be
holden
for
heauy
and
Massie
,
of
the
which
sorte
are
Saturne
,
Iupiter
,
and
Mars
:
other
are
as
subtile
and
light
,
as
are
Venus
,
Mercury
,
&
Luna
.
But
Sol
or
the
sunne
is
partaker
of
neither
of
both
these
properties
.
Amongst
the
elementes
these
do
also
contend
for
the
superiority
.
For
Iupiter
dealeth
with
that
commixture
whych
partely
is
of
the
ayer
,
and
partely
of
the
Water
.
Luna
or
the
Moone
exacteth
that
which
consysteth
and
commeth
of
the
Water
alone
.
Sol
also
helpeth
forwardes
the
meanes
,
or
maner
in
doing
or
accomplishing
of
things
.
Luna
or
the
Moone
,
as
it
were
ministreth
matter
in
such
behalfes
.
Mars
,
and
Mercury
,
labour
their
proceeding
&
going
forward
,
and
doe
geue
them
speedy
and
quick
expedition
:
the
firste
by
the
meanes
of
his
force
,
and
might
,
and
the
other
by
his
aptnesse
and
Dexterity
in
deliueraunce
.
The
plenty
and
store
of
matter
commeth
from
Venus
,
and
the
continuation
or
wayght
of
any
businesse
whatsoeuer
,
is
proper
alone
to
Saturne
.
Moreouer
all
the
Sygnes
in
the
Zodiacall
Circle
doe
participate
,
and
inioy
the
qualities
of
the
seuen
Planets
.
As
Taurus
,
and
Capricornus
,
bee
Saturnine
:
Virgo
,
and
Libra
,
are
after
Iupiter
:
Aries
,
and
Scorpio
,
be
after
Mars
:
Cancer
,
&
Leo
,
be
after
Sol
or
the
Sunne
:
Gemini
,
and
Sagittarius
,
be
after
Venus
:
Aquarius
,
and
Pisces
,
bee
after
the
Moone
.
And
accordinge
to
the
course
of
the
Sunne
,
Aries
,
Taurus
,
and
Gemini
,
doe
procure
a
warme
and
moyst
Spring
time
,
very
good
for
the
Sanguine
Complexion
,
and
for
tender
age
.
Cancer
,
Leo
,
and
Virgo
,
likewise
cause
a
hoat
Summer
&
a
dry
:
very
good
for
the
Cholericke
complexion
and
men
of
middle
age
.
Likewise
Libra
,
Scorpio
,
and
Sagittarius
,
cause
a
colde
and
moyst
Autumne
,
agreable
to
the
Phlegmaticke
complexion
,
and
younge
age
.
And
Capricornus
,
A
quarius
,
and
Pisces
,
cause
the
Winter
naturally
to
be
cold
and
dry
,
aunswerable
to
the
Melancholicke
complexion
,
and
to
olde
Age
.
But
of
these
thinges
we
are
to
speake
of
,
as
Occasion
shall
serue
more
particulerly
,
as
hereafter
followeth
.
Of
LVNA
,
or
the
Moone
,
AS
Sol
or
the
Sunne
is
the
Beauty
,
Grace
,
and
Countenaunce
of
the
day
:
so
in
like
sorte
is
Luna
,
or
the
Moone
the
comforter
,
light
geuer
,
and
glory
of
the
night
.
And
they
both
haue
for
this
such
their
Graciousnes
and
goodnes
,
the
greatest
preheminence
and
accoumpte
of
all
other
Planets
.
Whereupon
it
was
not
wont
good
cause
,
and
consideration
that
in
olde
and
auncient
time
,
both
of
these
when
at
any
tyme
they
were
Depictures
or
drawen
forth
by
any
Artificer
,
Engrauer
,
or
Paynter
,
they
were
then
chiefly
set
out
in
the
fashion
,
seemlinesse
or
Habite
of
a
Virgin
:
and
in
both
their
handes
were
placed
and
put
fine
and
feate
Arrowes
,
or
dartes
,
to
signifie
thereby
that
the
light
which
proceeded
from
these
two
,
was
onely
cleare
,
vndefiled
,
and
withoute
spot
:
and
that
these
were
the
onely
Planets
which
threwe
as
it
were
,
and
cast
from
them
the
glistering
beames
of
cleare
and
comfortable
lighte
,
as
Arrowes
or
Dartes
:
whereby
all
things
cheared
,
and
continued
the
better
in
their
Estate
,
wyth
well
lyking
.
Caria
,
Plinie
in
his
fourtenth
chapter
of
the
aforesayde
boke
doth
report
,
that
alwaies
at
the
Moones
increase
,
her
hornes
are
turned
from
the
Sunne
:
as
contrariwise
as
she
decreaseth
shee
turneth
her
hornes
toward
the
Sun
.
Cneius
Domitius
,
Lucius
Annius
:
which
were
called
of
some
then

VENVS

a

a

of

in

great
fury
,

quieting
him
with
friendly

a

Woman
doth
appease
and
still
the
rage
,

anger
of
her
Husband
being
incensed
.
Shee
alwayes
accompanieth
the
Sunne
:
and
when

goeth

sheweth
in

THis

of
a
bright

colour
,
being
therein
of
al
other
starres
most
acceptable
&
pleasaunt
to
the

:
and
shee
is
called
Venus
for

beautifull
countenaunce
:

(
as
some
ymagine
)
for
that

The

call
her
NEGAHHOTH

,
which
signifieth
the
Fat

as
the
Poets
imagine
)
she
breedeth
the
Fatnesse
of
fleshe
and
Massynesse
,
or
grosenesse
of
bloude
.
And
they
haue
it
also
in
opinion
that
this
Venus
was
bred
first
and
came
of
the
froth
or
bloude
that
flowed
forth
from
the
Priuities
of
Coelus
whom
Saturne
gelt
,
and
cut
of
,
and
threwe
them
into
the

They
also
maryed
her
to
Vulcane
and
made
her

Wyfe
,
signifying
thereby
that
pleasure
&
delighte
is
as
it
were
wrought

Martianus

her

SOL

the

in

he
hath
as
many
,
that

toweete
Mars
,
Iupiter
,
&

And
as
it
should
seeme
it
was
not
without
great
cause
and
consideration
that
the
Mighty
IEHOVAH
,
the
Maker
of
Heauen
and
Earth
placed
the
Sunne
in
such
a
proportioned
equality
among
them
all
:
There
is
nothing
almost
gloriously
mentioned
in
the
sacred
Scriptures
,
but
the
glory
thereof
is
likened
&
resembled
to
the
Sun
:
The
Sunne
,
if
so
be

shew
at
his

seeme
clowdye
or

and
looketh

,
he
causeth
vpon
this
more

wonted
warmth
:
hee
foresheweth

,
if
he
looketh
red
:
hee
betokeneth
tempestes
to
be
at
hand
,
if
hee
shyneth
forth
cleere
:
or
casteth
his
beames
towardes
the
South
,
hee
prognosticateth
more
moderate
&
seasonable
weather
.
Martianus
sayth
,
that
the
Sunne
as
he
is
in
the
midedest
of
the

,
beateth
backe
from
him
twelue

or
more

Sunbeams
:
which
reflectate
themselues
and
remayne
vpon
the
twelue
signes
.
The

Author
also
affyrmeth
that
there
is
nothing
so
occult

deeply
contayned

the

that

I
recken

Dionisius
Ariopagita
an
eye
witnes
therof
:
&
then
a
student
in
the
vniuersity
of
Heliopolis
in
Aegipt
,
in
his
epistle
to
Polycarpus
,
maketh
mention
,
that
hee
together
with
Apollophanes
a
noble
Philosoper
did
both
se
and
behold
the
same
:
and
also
with
exceedinge
much
astonishment
,
and
admiration
therof
considered
of
the
same
most
deeplye
and
diligently
.
It
is
manifest
that
this
Eclipse
,
was
not
natural
,
but
rather
supernatural
.
For
the
naturall
Eclipse
must
bee
as
wee
sayd
before
,
onely
in
the
tyme
of
the
Coniunction
of
the
Sun
and
Moone
,
and
in
the
new
of
the
Moone
:
but
when
Christ
suffered
it
was
full
moone
,
and
the
same
opposite
to
the
Sun
as
both
witnesseth
that
,
same
Dyonisius
which
saith
he
saw
the
same
as
also
Apollophane
.
Besydes
holye
wrytte
doth
very
cleerelye
set
downe
the
tyme
reporting
Chryst
agaynst
the
feast
of
Easter
after
he
had
taken
the
Passouer
with
his
Disciples
incontinently
almost
to
haue
dyed
,
&
suffred
vppon
the
crosse
.
And
this
feast
of
Easter
must
alwayes
of
necessity
by
the
prescript
of
Moses
lawe
bee
obserued
,
and
kept
in
the
ful
Moone
,
&
so
did
the
Iewes
obserue
the
same
most
diligentlye
:
so
that
this
Eclipse
,
happeninge
then
at
that
instant
and
tyme
,
could
not
be
as
other
Eclipses
of
the
Sunne
bee
natural
,
through
the
vnfitnes
and
incommodiousnes
of
that
tyme
:
for
there
is
no
tyme
so
vnpossyble
to
worke
such
an
effecte
,
as
in
the
tyme
of
Opposition
:
for
then
the
Sun
and
Moone
which
require
coniunction
in
that
behalf
,
are
neuer
more
remote
,
or
farder
distance
from
coniunncion
,
them
in
that
present
time
.
In
fyue
propertyes
therefore
I
fynde
this
miraculous
eclipse
,
that
so
happened
at
the
passion
of
our
sauiour
Christ
,
to
differ
from
all
other
eclipses
,
that
be
only
natural
.
The
firste
which
wee
laste
touched
was
in
the
time
therof
,
which
hapned
them
at
the
full
of
the
Mone
,
a
tyme
most
vnfit
to
the
generation
of
my
natural
Eclipse
.
The
second
appeared
in
the
corse
of
the
Moone
,
which
,
wher
as
naturally
of
her
owne
proper
motion
,
she
goeth
from
the
East
to
the
West
.
In
this
straunge
eclipse
then
seene
,
Dyonisius
sayth
,
he
saw
her
with
a
most
swift
pace
returne
very
stranngely
from
the
East
toward
the
South
,
vntil
shee
stood
directlye
vnder
the
Sun
,
wheras
shee
stayed
by
the
space
of
whole
three
howers
,
and
by
that
meanes
caused
darkenes
ouer
al
the
whole
face
of
the
earth
.
And
after
the
third
hour
about
which
time
our
sauiour
Christ
was
deade
,
shee
returned
agayne
to
her
owne
place
in
the
East
,
with
a
most
swift
course
appearing
there
agayne
as
it
had
bene
in
a
tryce
.
And
so
in
the
sixte
and
nynth
hower
,
shee
was
seene
vnder
the
Sun
:
but
in
the
euening
,
and
at
the
Sunnes
going
down
she
appeared
new
agayn
in
the
East
,
right
opposite
to
the
Sunne
.
The
thyrd
poynte
wherin
this
miracle
differeth
from
other
vsuall
Eclipses
,
was
vpon
the
strange
begynning
of
the
same
:
for
this
began
on
the
East
syde
of
the
Sunn
,
wheras
all
other
wonted
eclipses
of
the
Sun
vse
to
begin
to
be
eclipsed
after
their
naturall
order
,
at
the
west
part
of
the
Sun
.
The
fourth
poynt
of
difference
was
herein
,
which
was
verye
straunge
:
For
that
part
of
the
Sun
which
was
first
darkened
&
obscured
of
his
light
by
the
interposition
of
the
moone
,
did
lastly
shew
forth
restitucion
of
his
light
which
is
otherwyse
in
other
Eclipses
:
which
in
the
part
of
the
Sunne
that
seemeth
fyrst
obscured
dother
agayne
fyrst
and
formost
appeare
in
the
same
to
be
restored
.
And
then
the
Moone
passed
not
asyde
from
the
Sun
as
she
is
wont
in
his
naturall
eclipse
,
but
stode
right
vnder
him
for
the
space
of
thre
whole
howers
:
and
so
shee
not
after
that
,
goyng
on
beyond
the
Sun
,
but
returning
to
the
East
her
place
from
whence
she
fyrst
came
,
gaue
great
occasion
of
admiration
&
wonder
.
The
fyrst
es●et
all
difference
therin
also
was
vpon
the
perduration
:
taryance
and
staye
of
the
same
strange
eclipse
.
For
the
Sunnes
ordinarye
Eclipses
cannot
continue
long
,
as
which
are
very
spedely
perfourmed
,
by
reason
that
the
body
of
the
Sun
doth
infinitely
exceede
in
bignes
&
quantity
the
body
of
the
Moone
:
as
also
for
that
the
course
of
the
Moone
is
very
swift
.
For
which
two
causes
,
fyrst
because
the
Moone
is
so
little
in
respect
of
the
other
,
&
therefore
not
able
any
tyme
to
obscure
&
hyde
away
the
Suns
light
,
neither
totally
nor
in
part
from
our
aspect
.
And
agayne
for
the
swiftnes
&
velocity
of
the
Moones
course
,
shee
cannot
hyde
away
the
Sun
beyng
so
huge
and
big
any
long
tyme
:
but
he
must
needes
shyne
out
on
one
syde
or
other
.
Besydes
,
this
wonderful
eclipse
procured
of
God
to
shew
forth
euidently
the
most
haynous
fact
of
the
Iewes
,
in
abusyng
his
Son
so
,
as
it
greatly
grieued
the
stars
&
Sun
aboue
not
onely
amased
many
men
,
so
that
many
stroke
their
breastes
and
returned
from
Caluary
where
he
was
crucifyed
:
vnto
the
vnknowen
God
erected
as
is
sayd
presentlye
after
the
feare
that
this
eclipse
cast
vpon
the
Athenians
,
which
is
very
far
from
Iudea
,
proueth
it
to
be
more
vniuersal
:
so
that
they
scant
it
to
narrowly
that
seeme
to
bound
it
onely
with
in
the
borders
of
that
place
,
where
that
villanous
fact
was
committed
.
For
shal
we
thinke
that
the
miraculous
going
backe
of
the
Sun
,
which
happened
in
the
dayss
of
Ezechias
kynge
of
Iuda
,
witnessing
his
recouery
of
helth
was
alone
them
perceyued
of
the
inhabitants
ther
,
&
not
aswel
also
among
nations
furder
of
:
for
if
we
should
so
think
,
we
should
be
deceiued
.
Na
the
K.
of
Babilon
,
which
was
a
far
of
,
sent
afterwardes
letters
vnto
the
sayd
Ezechias
by
Ambassadours
and
Princes
of
Babilon
,
to
enquire
of
the
wonder
.
And
shal
not
we
vndoubtedly
bee
resolued
that
this
testimony
that
God
gaue
in
this
order
of
the
abuse
of
his
son
,
reached
furder
then
Iudea
,
na
euen
ouer
all
the
whole
world
?
for
euen
the
very
horror
of
that
fact
,
caused
the
Sun
(
as
it
were
to
kepe
backe
the
benefite
of
illumination
of
men
that
had
so
yll
deserued
at
the
hands
of
his
Maker
,
&
Creator
.
But
now
I
hauing
sufficiently
spoken
of
Eclipses
,
aad
of
theyr
kyndes
and
causes
,
I
am
to
proceede
to
other
visions
&
sights
,
caused
oftentymes
by
meanes
of
the
Suns
working
,
which
are
no
lesse
meruaylous
.
Of
the
which
sorte
is
the
shew
and
sighte
of
many
Sunnes
at
once
in
the
fyrmament
called
of
the
Gretians
〈◊〉
〈◊〉

:
which
are
ingendred
through
this
occasion
.
When
as
some
cloude
of
good
thicknes
and
continuant
,
and
which
is
also
regular
&
vniforme
is
placed
so
,
Spurius
Posthumius
and
Quintus
Minutius
,
were
Consuls
,
and
when
Quintus
Minutius
,
&
Marcus
Partius
wer
in
the
office
:
and
also
when
Marcus
Antonius
&
Publius
Dolobella
had
the
same
rome
:
&
besydes
when
Marcus
Lepidus
,
&
Lucius
Plancus
enioyed
the
same
superioritye
:
&
more
then
three
Sunnes
at
one
tyme
hath
neuer
bene
seene
.
There
appeared
also
3.
Sunnes
at
the
tyme
of
the
byrth
of
our
sauiour
Iesus
Christ
,
which
at
length
comming
together
into
one
gaue
forth
therby
some
signification
of
the
mistery
of
the
holy
Trinity
to
be
contanied
in
vnity
which
now
by
the
comming
of
Christ
was
to
be
preached
in
all
the
worlde
:
and
that
the
same
Child
which
was
then
born
,
the
Sunne
of
righteousnes
,
hadd
,
and
contayned
in
him
completely
the
fulnes
of
the
Godhead
,
and
that
together
with
Christ
,
now
neuerthelesse
incarnated
,
the
Father
and
the
holy
Ghost
were
al
one
in
substaunce
,
and
all
of
them
distinct
in
personne
and
all
of
them
but
one
God
,
one
vncreate
and
euerlasting
power
,
which
is
to
blessed
for
euermore
,
Amen
.
This
Parahelius
,
or
appearaunce
of
diuers
Suns
at
one
tyme
,
differeth
from
that
Impression
,
whiche
is
called
Halo
,
There
hath
appeared
also
a
garlande
of
bloudy
coloure
,
Lucius
Iulius
,
Publius
Rutilius
.
There
hath
bene
also
verye
prodigious
,
and
very
long
lacke
and
want
of
the
Sunnes
shyning
forth
,
Lucius
Opimius
the
thyrd
time
,
and
Quintus
Fabius
the
second
time
,
were
made
Consuls
:
Lucius
Portius
,
and
Marcus
Acilius
.
So
there
were
seene
starres
in
the
day
tyme
following
,
and
accompanying
the
Sunne
all
the
day
longe
,
and
they
shewed
aboute
the
circle
of
the
Sunne
,
as
they
had
bene
a
kind
of
garland
,
or
a
diuerse
coloured
kind
of
circle
,
as
in
the
beginning
of
the
Empyre
of
Augustus
Caesar
.
If
this
garlandlike

called
Halo
whether
it
be
of
the
Sun
of

vanisheth

sodainly
of

Now
the
figure
of
the
Raynebowe
why
it
is
croked
,
or

circled
after
the
manner
of

or

otherwise
it
shoulde

throughe

And
the
shortest
time
that
euer

,
is
at
the
least
the
space
of
seuen
whole

such

Of
MARS
the
fifth
Planet
.
MARS
in
Greeke
is
called
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
for
that
hee
is
fierce
and
fiery
hoat
:
so
is
he
also
dry
,
and
worketh
the
cholericke
Complexion
,
which
is
also
hoat
&
dry
:
as
Saturne
causeth
the
Melancholicke
complexion
which
is
colde
&
dry
.
This
Mars
is
commonly
called
the
God
of
battayle
,
for
that
he
styrreth
vp
mens
myndes
to
debate
and
stryfe
,
and
letteth
the
league
of
Tranquillity
&
peace
.
He
is
also
called
Mars
,
quasi
mors
,
for
that
he
is
a
heauy
,
hard
,
and
deadly
Planet
:
or
for
that
hee
procureth
the
death
&
decay
of
many
Inferior
bodyes
.
Ouid
sayth
that
he
was
Sonne
to
Iuno
,
without
Father
,
but
conceyued
of
her
through
a
certayne
hearb
which
Flora
on
a
time
shewed
vnto
ber
.
Sons
to
this
Mars
(
as
Volateranus
saith
)
were
first
Oenomaus
which
raygned
in
Elys
,
which
obtayned
the
Daughter
of
Pelops
,
called
Hyppodamia
,
Meroe
,
Mars
had
also
another
Son
called
Parthaon
:
and
a
third
called
Oeneus
king
of
Calidonia
,
of
whom
came
Dianira
,
which
was
wife
to
Hercules
,
and
Meleager
,
Tydeus
,
and
Menalippus
.
This
Menalippus
whilest
hee
in
hunting
the
wylde
Bore
in
a
Woode
earnestly
followed
his
Game
,
was
vnwares
&
by
euell
hap
slaine
of
his
brother
Tydeus
,
who
afterwardes
fled
and
came
into
Argos
by
night
,
and
happening
into
the
court
of
Adrastus
the
king
,
and
katched
in
a
grieuous
Rayne
sought
further
,
and
anon
hit
into
a
shelter
where
Polynices
banished
his
countrey
abode
,
&
was
scanted
,
so
that
that
roome
would
not
serue
them
both
,
for
the
which
cause
they
fell
together
by
the
Eares
,
and
wounded
ech
other
grieuously
.
As
Mars
is
paynted
&
drawen
forth
hee
resembleth
a
tall
and
lusty
Stripling
standing
with
open
breast
,
and
his
feete
stretched
forth
as
though
he
stryded
,
noting
there
by
that
warres
are
to
be
attempted
of
hawty
heartes
,
and
to
bee
followed
&
pursued
busily
.
His
colour
is
somewhat
red
,
hys
house
or
place
of
abode
is
in
Aries
&
Scorpio
,
his
exaltation
or
ascendent
is
in
the
28.
of
Capricornus
.
Vnder
Mars
is
also
the
wilde
Bul
which
(
as
Aelianus
saith
)
be
he
neuer
so
curste
,
fierce
or
mad
he
is
to
be
bridled
.
If
a
man
tyeth
or
byndeth
his
right
testicle
or
stone
with
a
lyne
to
one
of
his
hornes
.
The
firste
that
is
red
to
haue
caused
the
Bul
to
haue
bene
bayted
was
Caesar
the
dictator
.
Likewise
to
Mars
pertaineth
the
Puttock
of
al
fowles
the
moste
snatching
.
Theophraste
sayth
,
is
of
a
siluer
colour
.
It
is
digged
out
of
the
ground
in
Syphnus
which
is
aboute
three
furlonges
of
from
the
red
sea
.
It
is
easy
to
bee
engraued
in
.
This
stone
draweth
Iron
to
it
wheresoeuer
it
be
placed
,
whether
on
hye
or
belowe
.
So
is
also
the
touchstone
which
is
of
no
great
quantity
and
is
found
in
the
greate
ryuer
Tmolus
in
Armenia
.
Fraunce
Germany
,
Barstany
,
the
lower
most
countrey
of
Syria
,
Idumed
and
Iudea
or
Iewry
And
as
hee
is
partaker
with
Scorpio
hee
holdeth
the
hyer
Syria
,
Cappadocia
,
Manritania
,
&
Getulia
.
He
runneth
his
course
about
the
zodiacke
in
twoo
yeres
.
Of
IVPITER
the
sixt
Planet
.
NExt
in
place
aboue
Mars
is
Iupiter
,
which
tempereth
&
allaieth
the
malice
of
Mars
&
sinister
conditions
of
Saturne
.
For
this
Iupiter
is
in
his
qualities
very
tēperrate
(
that
is
to
say
)
hoate
&
moyste
,
&
causing
heate
&
moysture
.
Wherupon
he
is
sayd
to
be
the
father
&
worker
of
the
Sanguine
Complexion
.
For
it
is
proper
to
bloude
to
bee
hoate
and
moyst
.
Hereupon
for
such
benefite
wrought
by
him
,
he
hath
often
ben
called
the
Originall
Lyfe
Planet
.
And
they
were
wont
to
draw
him
forth
in
the
Royal
likenesse
of
a
Kyng
,
holding
a
Scepter
or
golden
Mace
in
his
hande
:
gieuinge
to
vnderstande
thereby
his
rule
and
Empyre
ouer
all
Creatures
lyuing
.
The
Poets
affirme
him
to
bee
Sonne
to
Saturnus
,
and
Rhea
,
which
Saturne
vnderstandinge
by
a
Prophesie
that
it
should
come
to
passe
that
his
owne
Sonnes
should
thrust
him
out
of
his
Kingdome
,
prouided
with
him selfe
to
slea
them
all
as
soone
as
euer
they
shoulde
be
borne
.
So
hee
began
to
deale
heerein
,
firste
wyth
Ceres
;
then
with
Neptunus
whom
he
had
by
the
aforesayd
Rhea
.
Who
when
she
perceiued
his
purpose
herein
,
being
great
with
childe
of
Iupiter
and
deliuered
of
him
,
sent
him
forthwith
very
priuily
into
Lycton
a
place
of
Creet
,
where
he
was
hidden
in
a
Denne
:
and
when
Saturne
came
to
haue
deuoured
him
also
,
she
cast
him
a
stone
in
steede
of
her
childe
.
Then
Iupiter
in
processe
of
yeares
growing
both
into
mighte
and
wealth
,
expelled
his
Father
,
&
deliuered
his
other
Brethren
from
such
Thraldome
.
The
Stone
which
Saturne
catched
in
his
mouth
thinking
it
to
haue
bene
his
owne
Chylde
,
was
deceyued
therein
,
and
hee
euomitinge
the
same
,
is
yet
a
Monument
still
remayning
to
bee
seene
at
this
day
vpon
the
high
Hill
Parnassus
.
This
Iupiter
by
Proserpina
had
Bacchus
,
who
was
called
the
God
of
Wynes
.
And
by
Alcumena
hee
had
Hercules
,
who
by
Augaea
Daughter
to
Aleus
Kinge
of
Arcady
had
Telephus
,
which
was
hid
in
a
wood
and
nourished
vp
of
a
Hart.
This
Iupiter
by
Iuno
had
Vulcanus
which
for
his
deformity
and
ill
fauorednesse
was
●hrowen
of
them
both
into
the
Iland
Lemnus
,
whereas
he
should
make
lightninges
for
Iupiter
:
which
Vulcanus
asceuding
vpon
high
,
and
couetinge
to
see
the
Palace
of
his
Father
,
going
vp
higher
then
he
was
able
to
hold
on
&
continue
forth
,
fell
downe
and
brake
hys
Lymves
&
Le●res
,
whereby
he
halted
euer
after
.
So
had
Iuditer
by
Minerua
(
whom
he
forced
or
rauished
)
another
Sonne
called
Ericthonius
,
which
was
the
first
that
inuented
and
founde
oute
Carting
:
of
whom
Virgil
sayth
thus
:
Primus
Ericthonius
currus
&
quatuor
ausus
jungere
equos
.
and
may
be
Englyshed
thus
.
The
first
that
Cart
and
horses
droue
,
and
drawing
did
inuen●
Was
Erycthon
,
who
Ioyned
them
in
Teame
for
that
intent
.
THis
Erycthonius
had
one
Pandio
to
his
Sonne
which
was
Kinge
of
Athens
,
who
had
two
Daughters
one
casted
Progne
and
the
other
Philomena
:
the
first
was
maried
to
Tereus
Kynge
of
Thracia
,
who
being
on
a
time
in
his
sister
Philon●●●aes
company
,
and
entising
her
aside
as
he
though
good
,
forced
her
agaynst
her
will
and
to
the
intent
this
matter
should
not
be
knowen
he
cut
out
her
tounge
:
which
thing
neuerthelesse
comming
to
his
wiues
Eare
,
and
she
takinge
greate
displeasure
the
neat
,
against
his
returne
and
comming
home
she
s●ewe
his
beloued
Sonne
Ithys
,
and
dressed
him
in
Meates
Banketwise
,
&
so
set
the
same
before
him
:
whereof
he
vnawares
of
his
Sonne
,
yea
of
his
best
beloued
sonne
did
feede
hungerly
.
At
which
so
great
wickednesses
perpetrated
on
euery
side
,
Iupiter
being
highly
offended
did
first
chaunge
the
man
into
a
Lapwing
,
&
Progne
his
wife
he
chaunged
into
a
swallowe
:
and
Philomena
into
a
Nightingale
.
Of
Iupiter
also
and
Taygeta
Daughter
to
Agenor
came
Lacedemon
,
who
built
the
City
Lacedemonia
:
of
him
also

So

Of
SATVRNE
the
seuenth
Planet
.
SATVRNE
is
a
Planet
cold
and
dry
,
masculine
,
malicious
and
hurtfull
in
many
such
Effectes
as
hee
worketh
:
for
when
he
Raygneth
,
lyghtlye
those
that
bee
borne
vnder
him
,
either
dye
shortely
,
liuinge
no
longe
time
to
accoumpt
of
,
or
els
if
they
liue
any
long
time
,
they
haue
for
the
most
part
an
heauy
and
hard
fortune
.
Therevpon
for
this
his
pernitious
condition
of
hurting
&
destroying
,
hee
was
wont
to
be
set
out
as
a
Mower
or
Haruest
man
,
hauing
and
holding
a
Sythe
or
Sickle
in
his
hand
,
as
one
which
by
his
owne
will
was
fully
bent
and
geuen
to
accelerate
&
hasten
the
ruine
and
decay
of
all
liuing
things
;
and
were
it
not
but
that
Iupiter
placed
betwixt
him
&
vs
,
did
temperate
&
bridle
him
much
in
his
aforesayd
heauy
qualities
,
and
condicions
:
nothing
here
beneath
almost
coulde
eyther
liue
longe
,
or
prosperously
endure
.
Wherin
we
haue
to
consider
the
vnspeakable
and
wonderfull
wisedome
of
the
almighty
that
as
in
all
other
thinges
,
so
in
this
hee
hath
most
especially
and
wisely
prouided
:
that
,
the
enemy
of
life
so
ernestly
labouring
the
death
and
decay
of
all
thinges
,
shoulde
haue
hys
place
appoynted
him
there
so
far
of
from
the
earth
,
where
all
creatures
lyuing
make
their
abode
,
that
of
all
other
Planettes
he
the
cruellest
should
be
most
remote
&
furthest
of
.
For
how
should
any
creature
lyuing
sustain
,
help
,
and
defend
it self
against
the
force
of
such
extreame
cruelty
:
If
thys
mortall
enemy
of
all
were
bestowed
&
placed
any
thinge
nighe
:
yea
,
or
any
nearer
then
he
is
now
,
to
the
earth
here
below
,
the
place
of
our
aboade
:
yea
and
how
shoulde
any
thynge
continue
oute
his
appoynted
and
determinate
Time
,
if
this
fearse
and
furious
haruestman
as
it
were
,
euery
day
labouring
to
downe
with
all
,
were
not
let
and
hyndered
by
other
more
friendly
&
gracious
powers
,
staying
him
from
such
hys
force
.
See
therefore
the
truth
of
holy
writ
,
and
how
truely
it
is
there
sayde
,
God
the
●…e
perfecte
wisedome
hath
disposed
all
things
in
their
iust
number
,
measure
,
and
waighte
.
It
is
not
therefore
for
his
owne
worthinesse
or
dignity
that
Saturne
hath
the
highest
place
amonge
the
other
Planets
,
for
his
deserts
deserued
:
but
rather
the
contrary
,
vpon
other
effects
&
occasion
:
as
that
all
things
liuing
might
by
that
meanes
be
the
further
of
from
so
frowning
,
froward
,
and
fatall
Foe
.
He
is
of
a
pale
and
wan
colour
,
and
disposeth
to
the
Melancholicke
complexion
.
This
Saturne
(
as
the
Poets
imagine
)
was
some
to
Coelus
,
and
Vesta
,
Iupiter
,
Iuno
,
Pluto
,
Neptunus
,
Ceres
,
Chiron
,
&
Picus
.
Of
Iupiter
we
haue
sayd
befor
:
Iuno
was
both
sister
,
Iuno
Lucina
.
This
Iuno
had
to
her
Daughter
,
Hebe
a
lusty
gallant
,
whom
Iuno
made
afterwards
Cupbearer
to
Iupiter
,
So
the
Saturnysts
are
commonly
hard
to
learne
,
but
sure
in
that
which
they
haue
once
obtayned
.
As
that
Seale
doth
better
Imprinte
and
keepe
his
Marke
which
Sealeth
in
Waxe
,
and
so
forth
:
then
that
which
is
bestowed
vpon
Water
,
which
soone
receiueth
the
marke
thereof
,
&
soone
leeseth
the
same
.
The
greatest
desire
of
the
Saturnistes
also
,
is
for
the
most
part
to
addresse
them selues
to
become
sole
or
solitary
in
theyr
life
,
Ierome
,
Petrus
Diamanus
,
Celestinus
,
Poppea
,
Neroes
Wyfe
made
her
skin
very
cleare
and
fayre
:
yet
in
Mauritania
in
the
forrests
there
are
wield
Asses
called
Onagri
so
swyft
in
running
that
they
cannot
bee
catcht
vntill
they
haue
runned
themselues
out
of
breath
.
S.
Ierome
in
his
Epistles
sayth
,
is
so
full
of
poyson
that
when
she
goeth
any
where
to
drinke
,
she
is
fayne
to
lay
aside
her
poison
till
she
returneth
againe
,
for
feare
of
brusting
.
So
is
the
serpent
Ichneumon
which
is
continually
at
hatred
with
the
Aspe
,
Ptholomeus
,
Alphraganus
,
&
others
expert
Astronomers
.
The
stars
of
the
firmament
are
distinguished
into
sixe
sundry
differences
or
degrees
of
Magnitude
&
greatnes
.
S.
