¶
Of
the
first
part
or
reuolution
of
this
yere
,
1566.
conteyning
the
one
half
of
the
Astronomical
yere
,
being
the
.xi.
day
of
Marche
at
noone
,
&
so
ending
the
.xiii.
of
September
,
●bout
.viii.
of
the
clock
after
noon
.
AFter
that
I
had
well
viewed
and
considered
,
the
face
of
the
heauens
,
at
the
entrance
of
the
Sunne
into
the
Equinoctiall
vernal
point
(
whiche
is
the
first
scruple
or
minute
of
Aries
)
I
founde
the
wytty
,
subtil
●nd
…
e
planet
Mercury
,
to
〈…〉
well
of
the
ascendent
●s
〈◊〉
●he
first
reuolution
.
Of
the
whiche
reuolution
.
the
Sunne
as
a
mighty
lorde
and
kyng
,
chalengeth
some
part
with
him
.
I
found
also
,
that
stoute
sturdy
furious
Mars
,
to
occupy
,
yea
rather
by
violence
to
withhold
the
chiefest
part
of
all
the
horoscope
▪
that
is
the
East
angle
,
being
the
first
in
order
of
all
the
.xii.
houses
in
the
astronomicall
figure
,
which
house
also
concerneth
mans
lyfe
,
from
his
birth
vnto
his
liues
ende
.
I
founde
also
Iupiter
,
that
excellent
and
beneficiall
planete
,
(
who
for
his
inestimable
benefits
and
vpright
dealinge
,
were
worthy
of
al
honor
,
and
to
haue
the
best
place
in
the
celestial
scheme
:
But
alas
,
like
as
vpright
,
plain
,
and
true
dealyng
men
,
are
nowe
a
dayes
litle
set
by
,
and
nothyng
regarded
in
the
worlde
:
Euen
so
alas
,
I
say
alas
is
Iupiter
thrust
downe
,
and
as
it
were
forsaken
,
by
the
permission
of
God
for
a
tyme
.
I
founde
Iupiter
I
saye
,
placed
in
the
lowest
part
of
al
the
fygure
.
And
to
increase
also
the
more
his
infortune
,
he
is
as
well
now
retrograde
,
as
he
was
the
last
yeare
,
and
occidentall
of
the
sonne
.
The
best
comfort
he
hath
is
,
that
the
gentyll
and
frendly
,
lady
Venus
hath
lent
him
a
lodgyng
for
a
space
,
&
yet
that
is
no
longer
then
the
beginnyng
of
May
:
for
then
he
must
go
a
maying
for
one
moneth
and
more
,
vntyll
he
returne
agayne
the
.vi.
daye
of
Iune
,
whiche
beyng
ones
returned
,
wyll
then
take
hart
of
grace
,
and
be
bolde
to
continue
&
walke
in
his
frende
Venus
her
house
,
vntyl
it
be
the
.22
.
of
Nouember
.
Consideryng
also
with
my self
the
preuention
goinge
before
,
in
the
v.
daye
o●
Marche
,
the
Moone
beyng
in
the
house
of
Mercury
,
beynge
also
saluted
the
next
morowe
after
,
with
the
quartyle
aspect
of
fyery
Mars
,
not
to
her
contentation
.
The
Sunne
also
being
in
a
quartyle
aspecte
with
Mars
:
I
can
not
perceaue
,
but
that
muche
mysery
and
trouble
wyll
happen
in
this
Reuolution
,
as
nowe
I
wyll
in
particular
more
largely
declare
.
Mars
being
in
the
ascendent
,
in
a
septentrional
signe
portendeth
a
certayn
earthquake
to
happen
this
yere
,
either
in
England
,
or
els
in
some
countrey
nighe
adiacent
,
and
specially
about
the
latter
end
of
the
sommer
:
it
wil
cause
also
seldome
rayne
.
I
gather
also
,
Ex
tali

situ
,
that
muche
cruelnes
,
extortion
,
vsury
,
contention
,
and
suche
lyke
horrible
vices
,
are
lyke
to
reigne
among
men
,
causing
therby
many
,
to
be
very
pensife
,
and
full
of
anguyshe
and
sorowe
.
For
many
wil
be
ready
to
scratche
out
other
mennes
eyes
,
for
to
take
&
rauish
their
goodes
.
And
other
that
can
not
so
violently
take
than
,
shal
assay
by
al
craft
and
subtil
policie
,
to
conuey
them
away
into
their
handes
.
Wherby

lyke
to

Therfore
O
ye
extortioners
,
O
ye
vnsatiable

,
al
ye
vnmerciful
,
gredy
,
&
couetous
ryche

,
take

take

for

is

The
forsayd
Mars
placed
in
the
signe
of
Cancer
,
signifieth
sodeyn
shipwrackes
,
by
occasion
of
great
&
sodein
blastes
of

:
also
strife
,
contention
,
and
warre
in

:

of

&

,

also

.
Item
,
the
death
of
cattel
,
and
all
other
beastes
,
but
chiefly
of
horses
:
The
water
of
welles
to
be
very
lowe
,
for
lacke
of
sufficient
sprynges
.
And
that
the
vulgar
people
and
husbandmen
,
shal
be
dylygent
and
carefull
about
theyr
own
busynes
.
They
hadde
nede
so
.
I
perceaue
by
the
lorde
of
this
reuolution
,
and
the
trine
aspect
of
the
Sunne
to
the
Moone
,
that
marchantes
and
all
other
occupiers
,
and
craftsmen
,
shal
haue
some
better
gaynes
than
they
were
wonte
to
haue
of
late
yeres
,
and
that
as
well
by
lande
as
by
sea
.
Also
wyse
and
learned
men
,
serthes
,
registers
,
secretaries
,
astronomers
,
and
chyldren
,
shall
prosper
better
than
they
were
wont
to
doe
:
besides
that
there
is
lyke
to
be
muche
store
of
fyshe
.
As
concernyng
warre
,
I
perceaue
that
Mars
placed
in
the
ascendent
,
beynge
also
septentrionall
&
direct
,
hauyng
no
lesse
then
fyue
dignities
in
Cancer
:
hathe
arm●d
hymselfe
from
toppe
to
toe
,
ready
to
enter
into
the
field
,
and
wyl
do
what
he
can
,
to
bring
the
people
out
of
quiet
:
yet
not
withstanding
,
they
of
Mercurius
side
(
whom
I
take
to
be
certayne
wyse
and
politike
men
,
and
ambassadors
,
doctors
,
scribes
,
marchauntes
,
&
other
learned
men
,
)
wil
so
,
I
hope
,
handle
the
matter
that
they
shall
scone
represse
the
stoute
inuasion
and
furious
enterprise
of
Mars
.
For
although
he
should
rage
neuer
so
muche
at
the
beginning
:
yea
.
May
beynge
ones
entred
,
approchinge
to
the
28.
degree
of
Cancer
:
he
shoulde
haue
for
recompence
,
a
foule
shamefull
fall
.
Iupiter
being
retrograde
and
occidentall
,
hauyng
no
aspect
with
the
lord
of
the
reuolution
,
declareth
sorowe
,
muche
care
&
feare
to
fall
vpon
the
people
.
And
also
muche
debate
and
strife
in
the
lawe
,
for
matters
concerning
inheritance
,
successions
,
landes
,
goodes
,
and
debtes
,
lefte
by
the
dead
.
In
whiche
thynges
not
a
fewe
shall
loase
their
righte
,
and
shall
not
be
able
to
prosecute
the
lawe
.
Mercurius
placed
in
the
.ix.
house
,
sheweth
,
that
certayne
wytty
,
politike
,
and
learned
men
,
with
the
helpe
of
the
higher
powers
,
shall
go
about
to
establish
matters
in
religion
:
yet
Iupiter
being
retrograde
in
the
fourthe
house
,
semeth
to
be
an
occasion
,
that
all
thynges
shall
not
so
well
goe
forwarde
,
as
the
Mercurialistes
woulde
haue
it
.
The
same
testifyeng
also
the
wyly
and
flatteryng
trine
aspect
of
Mars
vnto
the
sayde
Mercurie
.
To
whome
Mars
is
alwayes
mortall
ennemye
.
Whyche
thyng
to
be
true
,
the
very
phylosophers
haue
alwayes
testified
,
by
this
prouerbe

As
touchyng
Saturne
,
thys
generall
rule
is
alwayes
to
bee
noted
,
(
of
the
whiche
somewhat
I
spake
in
my
last
yeares
Prognoslication
)
that
as
often
as
he
is
founde
in
a
fire
signe
,
and
specially
in
Leo
:
he
declareth
mortalitie
,
with
penury
of
corn
,
grasse
,
of
dyuers
fruites
,
sedes
,
flowers
herbes
,
and
rootes
.
Also
corruption
of
the
ayre
,
grosse
mystes
,
darke
and
cloudy
wether
,
with
some
earthquake
in
the
east
partes
.
And
because
he
is
Septentrionall
and
Retrograde
,
sygnifyeth
also
greate
showres
of
rayne
,
corruption
and
destruction
,
as
well
of
the
great
mennes
goodes
,
as
of
the
goodes
of
common
people
,
and
of
marchantes
:
pestilence
,
and
●yuers
other
long
and
greuous
diseases
.
Also
dissention
&
muche
strife
betwene
brothers
.

By
the
position
of
Venus
,
I
fynd
,
that
muche
trouble
dissention
and
hatred
,
shall
bee
caused
through
certain
women
,
and
chiefly
by
those
that
be
of
the
baser

,
and
scarsly
reputed
honest
.

the

of
certain

,
the
gayne
of

,
and
also
health

,
sauing
that
Mars
is
lyke
to
haue

I
perceiue

But
the

are
lyke
to
fele
some

Also
is
signified

And
