To the Courteous READER

Gentle Reader , we have here adventured to present thee with a Piece Entituled , The Marrow of Astrology , being the true Genethlical Part thereof , according to the Aegyptians and Chaldeans ; wherein is discovered the Errors of Regiomontanus , Argol , and others , as my Ingenious Friend Mr. John Bishop , hath well demonstrated in the second Part of this Piece , and was also assisting in this , &c. Not doubting but that Men of Candid Sincerity will be ready , not only to give a friendly welcome , but also to drive away those Immortal Enemies , which continually beseige and assault every good Labour , and abuse the ligitimate Sons of Art , whose steps they are not worthy to follow ; I mean Crittisism and Envy , the first is harboured in the Breasts of those , ( who tho' hard to please ) are credibly supposed to be more Nice then Wise , the other a restless Wretch , yet fearless enough to them which know it , only the worst is , like a filthy Flie it seeks all over the body for a Sore , and where it cannot find , it makes one ; we wish to be as free as we can from the Reach of those Readers , committing our poor Endeavours to the use of such , as are more worthy of their mean Service ; for we do not go about to Teach the learned Skill , but to Instract the Ignorant , in what before they knew not , &c.

Take therefore in good Part what is thus intended towards thee , so shall our Pains and Labour , not quite want their Recompence , nor thy self be branded with that filthy Mark , of foul Ingratitude ( which resembles nothing but a Fiend of the Infernal Crew ) for know this , we do not intend to send you into the Woods to fetter Wolves , nor saw the Tigers Teeth , but we will lead you into a fruitful Vineyard , where you shall have your fill of the sweetest Grapes , &c.

Astrology is no more , but a part or Member of Natural Philosophy , which teacheth , by the Motion of the Primum Mobile , Configurations and Influences of the Signs , Stars , and Celestial Planets , to prognosticate , or predict , of the natural Effects and Mutations to come in the Eelements , and these Inferior Elementary Bodies ; 't is an Art of great Antiquity , and if we may give Creddit to the Antient Writings of Sage Authors , and of the most profound Philosophers , who made it their Business wholly to Study God and Nature ; it is even as Antient as Adam , &c.

Don't we know , when the Great Jehovah had finished that Great and Admirable Stupendious Work of the Creation , he made Laws and Bands to every Part thereof , and in his eternal providence hath placed , against the usurpiug Blasphemy , Misuse , and Stealth of the Wicked , and great Enemy , the Devil , four Mighty Angelical Princes ( who are as Watchmen and Overseers , over this terestial Fabrick , and the Sons of Men dwelling thereon ) to the Intent , that he being put out to the Earth , his envious will might be bridled , the determinations of our heavenly God fulfiled , and his Creatures kept and preserved , within the Compass and Measure of Order ; he made the Sun to rule by day , and the Moon by night , and all the Hosts of Heaven , he made for Signs , for Seasons , for Days , and for Years , and in them did ( briefly but fully ) shew an Epitomy of the choycest Part of the Creation , and from which was learned Man by Divine Permission instructed in the most sublime Knowledg , next to Salvation , that ever was taught ; and although the Ignorat Detractors , are subject to velify it ; yet the more profound Philosophers , as I said once before , who made it their business Wholy to study God and Nature , were led by those Heavenly Beings , to the most occult Secrets , yea a great deal more than our common Astrologers doth know , or can give any Reasons for ; but only Study by Tradition , not at all regarding Reason or Experience ; let them alone in their common Road , and they have Arguments enough , ( tho' senseless ones , ) to confound a Nation , if that could do any good ? but deny their senseless Arguments , and demand their Reasons , and you 'l lay them as flat as the ground , and like Bats struck dead by Thunder , as I may Instance in this one Proposition ; suppose a Woman should have her Womb possest with three Children at one time , and it should please God our great Creator to order it so , that they should all be born , or receive the Vital Air upon their tender Bodies , within the space of an hour , I would fain know , whether there be ever a one amongst our common Pretenders , can tell which of these Children will dye first , when , and of what distemper ; Now if there be any Truth in Art , as we are sure there is , then all Ingenious Men will allow this to be rational , as we often see , one Child lives , and two dyes , two lives and one dyes , and sometimes they all live , and sometimes they all dye now this is quite out of the common Astrologers way , neither can they give the least Reason for it in the World ( and why ) because they trace over a wrong path , as we can easily prove in any Nativity of theirs , and shew demonstrable reasons for the same , that there is not one in a hundred of them as to Art , but are like the Sodomites , which did nothing but grope in the dark ; or like the rude Multitude in Nineveh , which did not know their Right Hands from their Left ; and yet these Gentlemen , can Boast with Hermes and Ptolomy ; as their Leaders ( nay some have the Impudence to Condemn them , and all their Wayes ) when in Truth they understand nothing of their sayings , but Cleave to the Customes of the World and forsake the Truth , as shall be Demonstrated here after by several Examples ( If we find this Kindly Received and Friendly Entertained ) and that according to the unerring Cannons of this most Heavenly Science &c.

Perhaps some who pretends themselves to be Great Masters of Art , will be apt to Clash and Write against these most Excellent Rules , which we have here layd down for the good of Tyros ; but we shall advise them to Rest in a secure Harbour , and not to be like the unadvized and indescreet Marriner , who runs his Ship against a Rock , and thereby not only Indangers the loss of his Vessel , but hazzards also his own Life , and the Sailors too ; therefore he that offers to write against this Piece . Indevouring to vindicate what hath been all Ready wrote by any of our Modern Authors ( who are like Vntempred Mortar , which is not as yet fit for use ) will Run into Error and Confusion . And so we leave you to the Protection of him which made us all , for we must hasten ( away ) about our Great Work , least Time in his Swift Pace mocketh us for our slowness , therefore take Notice of this , that the fore-locks of Time , are the Deciders of many Doubts , and Time is so swift of foot , that being once past he can never be overtaken .

ISAGOGE OR AN INTRODUCTION TO ASTROLOGY .

CHAP. I. Of the Characters of the seaven Planets , twelve Signs , and Aspects , with their several Names and manifold Divisions , &c.

YOU must Note , that there are seaven Erraticks , or wandering Stars , by our Ancient Predecessors called Planets , and are Character'd as followeth .

♄ Saturn . ♃ Jupiter . ♂ Mars . ☉ Sol. ♀ Venus . ☿ Mercury . ☽ The Moon , Planets . called Luna .

Secondly . There is also two Nodes or certain Points used by Astrologers , named the Dragons Head and Tail , and are Character'd as followeth , ☊ Dragons Head , ☋ Dragons Tail ; The Part of Fortune bears this Character , ♁

Thirdly . Now as there are seaven Planets , so there are twelve Signs , which are the twelve Mansions or Houses of Heaven ; and these twelve Signs take great Power and Might of the seaven Planets ; and the seaven Planets , take great Power and Might of the twelve Signs ; for the seaven Planets be to the twelve Signs , as the Body is to the Soul ; for as the Body can do nothing without the Soul , nor the Soul without the Body ; no more may the Signs without one of these Planets , &c.

Fourthly . The Characters of the twelve Signs of the Zodiack , are as followeth , Signs .

♈ Aries ; ♉ Taurus ; ♊ Gemini ; ♋ Cancer ; ♌ Leo ; ♍ Virgo ; ♎ Libra ; ♏ Scorpio ; ♐ Sagittary ♑ Capricorn ♒ Aquarius ; ♓ Pisces .

Fifthly . Through these twelve Signes do the seaven Planets continually The Time of the Planets Revolutions . move , and are ever in one or other Degree of them : ♄ is the highest , who finisheth his Course through the twelve Signes in thirty Years . Next under ♄ is ♃ , who performs his Revolution in twelve Years . Next under ♃ is ♂ , who performs his Perambulation in two Years . Next under ♂ is that Glorious Lamp of Heaven the ☉ , from whom all the Stars receive their Light and Motion ; he performs his Revolution in 365 Days 5h . 49m . or there abouts . Next under the ☉ is Dame ♀ , who traceth through the 12 Signs in 225 Days . Next under ♀ is that nimble Post ☿ , who passeth through the 12 Signs in 88 Days . And in the lowest Sphere of all moves the ☽ who performeth her Revolution in one Month ; And thus the Panets are one beneath the other ; and the Wise Philosophers say , that from the Earth to the ☽ Distance of the Planets from the Earth . it is 15750 Miles , and from the ☽ to ☿ is 12812● , and from ☿ to ♀ is 12812● , and from ♀ to ☉ is 23422 miles : From the ☉ to ♂ is 15725 , and from ♂ to ♃ is 68719 , and from ♃ to ♄ is 68719 , and from ♄ to the Starry Firmament is 120485 Miles , and from the Firmament to the Earth is 331445 Miles , being the Total Sum of all , &c.

The Aspects of the Planets are thus , and are in Number Ten.

COnjunction ☌ . Sextil ⚹ . Simiquartil smq . Quintil Q. Aspects . Quartil □ . Trine △ . 〈◊〉 ●●q . Biquintil Bq. Oppositon ☍ . and Paralels Pa.

Of these are good the ⚹ the Q. △ , and Bq. the bad are , the smq . □ , ssq. and ☍ ; the rest are indifferent , that is good with good , and bad with bad , as the ☍ and Pa.

A Table of Aspects . A Table of Aspects , and how many Degrees makes each Aspect . Degr. Signs . Degr. ☌ A Conjunction is 00 or 00 00 ⚹ A Sextil is 60 or 02 00 smq . A Simiquartil is 45 or 01 15 Q. A Quintil is 72 or 02 12 □ A Quartil is 90 or 03 00 △ A Trine is 120 or 04 00 ssq. A Sisquiquadrat is 135 or 04 15 Bq. A Biquintil is 144 or 04 24 ☍ An Opposition is 180 or 06 00

A Parallel hath no certain Number either in Signs or Degrees , but may be more or less , according as the Planet shall have Latitude , besides Parallels goes under three Denominations , viz. Mundane ; Parralels of Declination , and Parallels by the Motion of the Primum Mobile , as shall be explained in their proper Places , and that with Examples .

Aspects that are called Antiscians , we call Parallels , because saith Ptolomy , nothing else should be Parallel to Aspects , or Antiscians . the Equator ; wherefore those Parallels in the Primum Mobile are of equal distance to the Equator , and if they are of one Denomination , they are called Primary ; but if of sundry Denominations , Secundary , &c. The North Commands , and the South Obeys ; a Parallel is of the same Strength with a Star of the first Magnitude ; and what Aspects are made in the Primum Mobile , the same are made in the Horizon or World : Yet many are the likeness between the Parallels in the world , and Parallels in the Primum Mobile , as may be found in place where .

First . A ☌ is when two Planets are in one and the self same Of a Conjuction . Degree and Minute of a Sign , both as to latitude as well as longitude , and he that doth not regard the one as well as the other , must needs Err ; as their reason and practice shall tell them : For if a Planet be in 10 degrees of ♊ haveing no latitude , and another Planet be in the self same Sign and Degree , having 3 dg . of South lattitude , and they be to be directed under the Pole 51 dg . according to the common way of direction , we shall find it will be 6 Years , 63 Days , before the Direction will come up , according to Naibods measure of Time : That which is most practised , tho' not the truest ; which is a sufficient demonstrable Reason to satisfie all the Ingenious Sons of Vrania ; that two Planets cannot be said to be in a partil Conjunction , or Aspect , except their Positions be to a Degree and Minute , both as to Latitude , and Longitude , as I said before , &c.

Secondly . Altho' we mention a ☌ or Aspect , to consist of a just number of Degrees and Minutes , yet they being very seldome so found , therefore they go under two Denominations , viz. Partil , and Platick : now a Partil Conjunction or Aspect , is when two Planets are exactly in so many Degrees , or so many dg . and min. of a Sign ; or so many dg . and min. from each other , both as to Latitude and Longitude ; as I said before as makes a perfect ☌ or Aspect , &c.

But the Platick admits of the Rayes or Moity of the Orbs of each Planet , which are so in Aspect of each other ; and in this we ought to consider the Latitude ; for many times when we think the Aspect to be but platick , it may prove partil ; which is caused by the Planets great Latitude ; and for want of this due consideaation , many an able Artist Errs in his Judgment ; which brings a great Scandal upon the Art , and makes many People to have but a mean Opinion of the same , by reason of such Grand Mistakes and Over-sights , &c.

The Orbs of the Planets are to be understood thus ; ♄ and ♃ 9 deg. ♂ ♀ and ☿ 7 deg. the ☉ 15 deg. and the ☽ Orbs of the Planets . 12 degr.

Thirdly . The Planets have allowed them every one two Signs Lords of Signs . or Houses a piece , ☉ and ☽ excepted , they having but each of them One ; ♄ hath allotted him the Signs ♑ and ♒ , to ♃ ♐ and ♓ , ♂ owns ♈ and ♏ , and the ☉ ♌ , ♀ ♉ and ♎ , ☿ ♊ and ♍ , and the ☽ ♋ , &c.

Fourthly . Of the Radiations of the Houses and Signs , which are in two small Tables as followeth , &c. Of the Rad. of the Hos. Of the Rad. of the Sig. Radiations of the Houses and Signs . Ho. ⚹ □ △ ☍ Si. ⚹ □ △ ☍ 1 3 : 11 4 : 10 5 : 9 7 ♈ ♊ ♒ ♋ ♑ ♌ ♐ ♎ 2 4 : 12 5 : 11 6 : 10 8 ♉ ♋ ♓ ♌ ♒ ♍ ♑ ♏ 3 1 : 5 6 : 12 7 : 11 9 ♊ ♈ ♌ ♍ ♓ ♎ ♒ ♐ 4 2 : 6 1 : 7 8 : 12 10 ♋ ♉ ♍ ♈ ♎ ♏ ♓ ♑ 5 3 : 7 2 : 8 9 : 1 11 ♌ ♊ ♎ ♉ ♏ ♈ ♐ ♒ 6 4 : 8 3 : 9 10 : 2 12 ♍ ♋ ♏ ♊ ♐ ♉ ♑ ♓ ☍ △ □ ⚹ H. ☍ △ □ ⚹ sig

These Tables are so plain and easie , that they need no Explanation ; yet least some young Students should complain , and say they understand them not , they being unacquainted with our Method , therefore I think it will be requisite to unfold the meaning of them , which are as followeth , &c.

Thus , on the top of each Table you have the Title , Example . and in the next Line below , the Aspects , and in the first Column of the first Table you have House at the top , and 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , and ☍ down to the bottom ; so in the last Collumn , House 12 , 11 , 10 , 9 , 8 , 7 , and ☍ to the top ; now if you guide your eye from the number 1 in the first Collumn till you come under ⚹ in the second , you shall find 3 , 11 , which shews the 3d. and 11th . Houses to be in ⚹ to the 1st . and in the third Coll. under □ is 4 , and 10 , which denotes that the 1st . 4th . and 10th . are in □ . the 4th . Coll. shews the 1st . 5th . and 9th . to be in △ . and the 5th . Coll. shews the 1st . and 7th . to be in ☍ , as the Lines and Collumns themselves will express by their numbers and Characters ; and so throughout the whole Table entering either at top or bottom , with the number of the House , the like is to be understood in the Signs , as may be seen by Inspection , as thus , ♈ ♊ and ♒ are in ⚹ , ♈ ♋ and ♑ in □ , ♈ ♌ and ♐ in △ , and ♈ and ♎ in ☍ , and so of the Rest , &c.

Fifthly . Of the Antiscions of the Planets , and the way of take-in Of Antiscians . them , by the Tables of Declination , regard being had to the Latitude and Declination of the Planet , as well as the Longitude ; and he that takes them otherwise , knows not what he doth , except the Planet hath no Latitude , then it will fall out right according to their way , otherwise not ; for many times a Planet hath so great Latitude , that there can be no Antiscion , because it falls quite out of the Ecliptick Line ; nay sometimes when a Planet hath not that great Latitude , it falls out of the Ecliptick Line , therefore can be no Antiscion , as I shall instance in several Examples .

And as for the Contrantiscions , there is no such thing , Contrantiscians . let who will say it , and the Reason is , because the Antiscion can cast no contrary Shaddow ; the Antiscion being but a Shaddow cast contrary it self , &c.

Examples followeth .

Suppose a Planet to be posited in 10 Dg. of ♊ , he having Example . no Latitude , and it were desired to know his Antiscion ; in the Tables of declination , enter the last collumn to the right-hand , ( haveing ♊ at the Bottom ) with 10 Dg. of Longitude , and in the Angle of meeting under 0 Dg. of Latiude , you shall find 22 Dg. 2 m. which is the Planets Declination ; against which in the first Column to the left hand having ♋ a top , you will find 20 Dg. which is the Planets Antiscion , as in the common way of taking it : But here observe , the Planet hath no Latitude , therefore upon necessity must happen so , but if the Planet had but one Dg. of Latitude , either North or South , it would have made a considerable alteration in the Antiscion .

Sixthly . How to take the Antiscion of a Planet with Latitude , a Example . thing not used by the common Astrologers ; and the reason is , because they understand it not ; therefore I shall desire them not to be high and Prodigal , but mildly to receive Instructions ; which they shall have in three or four Examples which I think is sufficient for the slenderst Capacity in this World , that pretends to the least knowledge in this Mistical Science ; which Iam sure few understands , tho many have the confidence to pretend to , and practice the same , and so become common cheaters of the Town , and indeed the Country to ; Abusing the Art , and the honest Professors of the same ; as I could instance many , who impudently put out Bills , declaring their 20 Years Experience , besides the strange things they have foretold ; with their Calculations of Nativities , and teaching the whole Art of Astrology ; when it 's certain they understand no more in Starry Diatect , than some old Women do of Martial Discipline .

Suppose ♀ to be in 22 dg . of ♎ , she having 5 dg . of North Lat. and it were required to know where , and in what dg . of ♓ she sends her Antiscion .

I enter the Table of Declination , with her Longitude in the first Collumn to the left hand , having ♎ at top , Example . and in the Angle of meeting under 5 dg . of Lat. I find 3 dg. 58m . which Number I look for in the second Collumn to the left hand , and I find it exact ; and next to it in the first Collumn is 10dg . against which , in the last Collumn of all , having ♓ at the bottom , I find 20 dg . of ♓ , which is the Antiscion of ♀ ; she being in 22dg . of ♎ having 5dg . of North Lat. as the Tables themselves will shew by Inspection ; and Note , if at any time you have any odd m. of Longitude or Latitude , you must equate for them , as you do in taking a Planets Declination , or Right Ascention , &c.

Take another Example for Practice ; Suppose ☿ to be in 6 Degrees of ♈ , having 2 dg . South Lat. and were required Example . to know where , and in what dg . of ♍ he sends his Antiscion , I enter the Table of Declination , in the last Collumn to the Right Hand , ( having ♈ at the bottom ) with 6 dg . of Longitude , and in the Angle of meeting under 2 dg . of Lat. I find 33 m. this 33m . I seek for in the second Collumn to the left hand , which I find not , but I find 24 , which Number is 9 too little , then I substract 24 from 48 , the Number above it , and the difference is 24 ; then I say by the Rule of Proportion , if 60 give 24 , what shall 9 give , viz. near 7 , which must be substracted out of 29 dg . of ♍ as I find it in the first Coll. to the left hand ; so the Antiscion of ☿ will fall in 28 dg. 53m . of ♍ , &c.

But it happens ( somtimes ) that a planet can have no Antiscion ; as I have said else where , and it shall be proved in this following Example ,

As thus , suppose ♀ were posited in 20 dg . of ♐ , having Example . three dg . South Lat. with her Long. I enter the first Coll. to the left hand ( having ♐ at the top ) and I guide my Eye along until Icome just against , or more properly under 3 dg . of lat. and in the Angle of meeting , I find 26dg . 8m . which Number I seek for , in the second Coll. to the left hand ; but I find it not , nor no number near it ; which shews that ♀ sends no Antiscion to that Place ; because it falls out of the Ecliptick Line ; except you neglect her lat. as many half witted Fellows have done all along , and then it will fall in 10dg . of ♑ , according to the common way of taking it ; a great Error , O! what grand mistakes do Men make for want of a due understanding .

Perhaps some will be pecking at me for these things ; Note . but such I will give to understand that I value them not . And thus much for the true and exact way of taking Antiscions , for he that offers to take them without observing , lat. long . and declination , must needs run into Error and Confusion .

ATableoftheAntiscions. ♊ ♋ By this Table you may see that a Planet in ♊ sends his Antiscion to ♋ ; as the Tables of Declination themselves will Table . direct , &c. ♉ ♌ ♈ ♍ ♓ ♎ ♒ ♏ ♑ ♐

Seaventhly . The Ho. of ♄ are in ☍ to the ho. of the Luminaries : ♃ . 2 Houses are in △ , ♂ 2 Houses in □ , ♀ 2 Houses in ⚹ , ☿ beholds Honses . them not at all : Hence it appears ♄ is the greater infortune , and ♃ the greater Fortune ; ☿ is neither good nor bad , but like a Chip in Pottage , doth neither good nor hurt , but when he is with a Fortune , or Infortune , either by Body or Aspect ; so ♄ and ♂ are Infortunes ; ♃ and ♀ Fortunes ; the ☉ ☿ and ☽ indifferent , &c.

Eighthly . The Planets mean Motion : ♄ 2m . 1s . ♃ 4m . 59s . ♂ 31m . 27s . ☉ ♀ and ☿ have each 59m . 8s . and the ☽ 13d . 10m . 36s . this is what they move in 24. Hours ; yet Planets mean Motion . sometimes they move faster , and sometimes slower ; and sometimes it falls out , that ♄ ♃ ♂ ♀ and ☿ stand stock still , and therefore are called Stationary , &c.

In the next place I shall treat of the 〈◊〉 descriptions and significations of the 12 Signs of the Z●…k .

Causeth disseases by sympathy . broken bones , dislocations , laxations , deafness , melancholy , and all diseases of the spleen by Sympathy , and the reason is , because he ruleth the retentive faculty throughout the whole Body .

And those parts of the Body which are under the dominion of the Sun and Moon he fflicts by Antipathy , and you shall know what they are immediately , if you will have but a little Patience ; and take notice of this , it is the greatest wisdome of a Physitian , to know whether Saturn causeth the disease by Sympathy , or Antipathy .

The Moon causeth cramps , convulsions , and all diseases that often return as agues doe also tempanies , apoplexies , palsies cholick , belly ach , diseases in the bladder , stopping and over flowing of the termes in women , dropsies , fluxes , all cold and rhumatick diseases sciatica , worms in the belly , rhumes and hurts in the eyes , surfiets , rotten coughs , convulsions , falling-sickness Kings-evil , aposthumes rickets and measles , all coagulate and crude humours in any part of the body , lethargies and all diseases of flegm .

Numbers . Fourteenthly . Besides all this , the Lady Luna , hath certaine numbers attributed to her , which are as followeth viz. 2 , 6 , and 9 , the number Two , as being female , the number Six , it being the number of generation , and last of all the number Nine , as being the utmost receptacle of all Coelestial influences .

Here followes the distributions of the Spirits , viz. vital Animal , and Natural , particular to the Seaven Planets .

1st . THe Vital remaining in the heart , and is governed by the Sun. 2dly . The Animal remains in the brain , and is governed by Mercury and the Moon viz. the Moon governes the body of the brain , and Mercury the operative or working part thereof . 3dly . Jupiter and Venus governs the Natural Part , which remains in the liver and veins ; likewise the Sun and Mars governs the attractive Power ; Jupiter rules the digestive Faculty ; Mercury the Imagination or aprehensive Power ; Luna the expulsive Power , and Saturn the retentive Faculty , throughout the whole body ; so likewise the signes Aries , Leo , and Sagitary govern the attractive faculty , Gemini , Libra , and Aquary , the digestive ; Taurus , Virgo , and Capricorn the retentive , and Cancer , Scorpio , and Piscies the expulsive Powers ; so the attractive faculty is ruled by the fiery triplicity , the digestive by the airy , the retentive by the Earthy , and the expulsive by the Watry triplicity , &c. Now this is the root and foundation of the whole work , and he which well knows the natures and mixtures of the Coelestial Bodyes , shall be perfect in Starry Dialect , being capable to read the Language of the Stars , and distinctly know their Voyces , without the knowledge of which , all is imperfect , and note this mean Learning with an excellent Judgment , avails more than amean Judgment with the greatest learning ; yet is Judgment very much assisted and perfected by Learning ; but every thing Prospers better and is far more easily perfected that has Nature for its Giude , and favourable Stars , then that which is attempted by Humane Industry , though never so Dilligent .

The foregoing Table is so plain and easy , that it needs no explanation , therefore I shall forbear an Example .

How to take the Pole of Position of any Significator , commonly called the Circle of Position .

To take the Pole of Position . FIrst observe , whether the Significator be above or under the Earth , if above ; get his semidiurnal Arch , if under , his seminocturnal Arch ; the which being obtained , must be converted into degrees and minutes , whereof , one third part is the space of one House , then take the Stars distance from the nearest house to which he is placed , and by the Rule of Proportion , say ; if the third part of the semidiurnal , or seminocturnal Arch of your Significator , gives the Pole of the other House ? what shall his Distance give ? which if it fall in the 3d. 4t . 9th . or 10th . Houses , the Remainder is the Pole of Position but if it fall in the 1st . 2d . 5th . 6th . 7th . 8th . or 12th . Houses , you must add or substract it , to , or from the Pole of the succeeding , or preceeding Houses ; as may be seen in the Nativity of Sebastian , King of Portugal , or Henry King of France , or John Blanchard Junior .

Example in John Blanchard's Nativity .

Example . The Moons semidiurnal Arch. is 8 h. 15 m. a third part is 2h . 45m . which converted is , 41gr . 15m . for the space of one House ; the Moons distance from the 10. House , in R. A. is 33gr . 50m . the Pole of the 11th House is 23gr . then by the log . logar . I say if 41 gr. 15m . ( being the space of one house ) gives 23gr . the Pole of the 11th . House ; what shall 33gr . 50m . ( the Moons distance from the 10th . House ) give ; I say it gives 18gr . 52m . for the Moons true Pole or Circle of Position ; and now because it is near 19gr . I take 19gr . for her Pole ; and Note this , ●f the odd min. at any time exceed 30 , accept of it as a whole degr. but if they be under 30 reject them .

1. Log. Logar . of 41gr . 15m . Com. Arith. is 8373. 2. Log. Logar . of 23gr . the Pole of the 11th . 4164. 3. Log. Logar . of 33gr . 50m . the distance is 2488. The Sum is 5025.

Which is the log . logar . of 18gr . 52m . for the Moons true Pole of Position , &c.

Note . And Note this in taking the compli . Arithmetick of any Number , you must take the log . logar . of your deg. and min. from the Radius , and the remainder is the comp. Arith.

As thus ; the Radius 10000. Log. Logar . of 41gr . 15m . is sub : 1●27 . Rests the comp. Arith. viz. 8373.

In this Treatise we have often mentioned Equation , or makeing Proportion ; now for ease to young Artists , we think the best way , will be to do it by a Table of Logistical Logarithms , where there can be no better to make Proportions , which take as followeth .

First for MOTION .

Take the com . Arith. of 24 hours , and the log . logar . of the Planets diurnal Motion , also the log . logar , of the hours and minutes desired , add all together , abateing one unite towards the left hand , and you have the log . logar . desired .

Example .

The log . logar . of 24h . com . Arith. 6021. Log. logar . of ☉ diur . motion 59m . 7855. Log. logar . of 15 hours is 6021. The Sum is 19897.

Which is the log . logar . of 37m . to be added to the Suns Place .

Secondly 2 Numbers given , to find a 3d.

Thus , take the com . Arith. of the 1st . and the log● logar . of the 2d . and 3d. add all together , and you will have your desire .

Now if the first Number exceed 60 , take the half , and the half of the last , and work as before ; but if the 2d . Number exceed 60 , take half , and work as before ; only Note , that what comes out must be doubled and you will have your desire , and likewise observe , that if it be hours and minutes , it must be converted into dg . and min● But if the first be h. and min. and the second dg . and min. and the 3d. hours and minutes , it will be exact without converting ; always observing , that the first and third Number be of one denomination , and then you cannot Err.

Also with these Logistical Logarithms , you may work Multiplication , or Division , which although it be of no great use in this place , yet for a whet to the Ingenious , we will insert it .

First . For Multiplication , take the log . logar . of one with com . Arith. and the log . logar . of the other two Numbers , add all together , and you will have the log . logar . desired .

Secondly in Division . Take the log . logar . com . Arith. of what you would divide by , and the log . logar . of the number to be divided , and the log . logar . of one ; add all three together , and you have the log . logar . desired , which is very easie .

To take the semidiurnal Arch of ☉ HOw to take the femidiurnal Arch of the ☉ he being in 15gr . of ♉ , and in the Latitude of 46gr . I enter the first Column to the left hand decending with the ☉ place , and guide my eye along till I come just under 46gr . of l●t . and in the Angle of Meeting I find 7h . 11m . which is the ☉ semidiurnal Arch in 15gr . of ♉ and his seminocturnal Arch in 15gr . of ♏ as the Table it self doth express ; and so off the rost .

Note , when you would have the semidiurnal Arch of the six southern Signs , you must take the Compliment to 12 hours ; as if the ☉ were in 6gr . or ♐ , his semidiurnal Arch is 4h . 24m . understand the contrary in the Northern Signs .

PROPOSITIONS OF CELESTIAL PHILOSOPHY . CHAP. III.

WHen Celestial Efficient Causes are absent from inferior things , they cannot act in sublunary Bodies , unless by some instrumental Virtue ; by which they joyn near things under them , or from those mixt Bodies : Neither can there any Action be made upon the Subject , because there is nothing near the Active Virtue , neither can it produce the effect upon the Subject , the efficient Cause being wanting ; and that this is sufficient to the producing of all the first four qualities , by which is attained the universal kind of all natural Effects , &c. Now the Stars do accompany this Light by motion , and we reject the hidden Influence as superfluous , yea and impossible .

Properties of the Stars Secondly . The principal Properties of the Stars are two , viz. Intention , and Extention , the less is the Colours , which may be found in the Stars by our S●nces ; neither from that are corruptible things made Stars ; for it has been said , new appearances have made alteration in the Heavens , which oftentimes , yea more often ; the same are objected by us , for colours may also be found in uncorruptible bodies . Yea there is nothing to be 〈◊〉 which hath no● a Colour .

There are other properties in the Stars , as the Form and Disposition , Clearness , Obscurity , and their local motion is a certain Passion , by which they apply to increase and deminish in light , they rise , set , go back , and sometimes seem near , and sometimes far of .

Thirdly . The Stars do not act nor suffer by turn , altho' they receive light from the Sun , yet from the proper cause of them they ●end a change ●…to us , but they after their Action 〈…〉 upon 〈◊〉 Subject , 〈◊〉 as they 〈◊〉 agree in their Actings , and this shall suffice for all the 〈◊〉 of their Effects , &c.

Fourthly . Although the Stars by their Motions in the Heaven , do change their Places , and have the determinate Degree of intention , and the definite quantity of the Extention of their Light , they doe not act upon inferiours , according to the true and real Intention , and Extention of the Light , which they have in themselves ; but onely according to their appearing , when they come to those Bodies that are subject unto them , wherefore the Stars Govern Sublunary things , according to that degree of Intention only , and the quality of Extention of Light , by which they touch those passable Bodies , but the lesser Intention and Extention are ; from whence there is the greatest distance of the Stars , from subject things ; also they act according to that Extention which they cast forth ; as we may most Evidently see in the ☽ ; for they act according to their Scituation and Parallax , upon the Bodies by which they pass ; the Eclipses which are not beheld have no Influence , and new Appearances only act in those Places where they are seen ; their Effects are only there manifest , and in what places the Stars rise not , they have no Power .

Fifthly . The Stars are certain , indeterminate , and universal causes to specificks , and individual effects , but they are determinated for the truth , to whome they are Visible and of nearest cause ; as the ☉ makes wax soft , clay hard , a Worm white , the Skin of Man black , with a Man , he begets a Man , with a Lyon , a Lyon.

Sixthly . The Stars cannot be Signs of Effect , unless they be the Causes also ; wherefore Qustions may arise from the manner of the Antients , that they have no places by Nature , unless by chance in suddain Effects , in which whilst they move , the nearest causes of natural Effects , they also move the parts , organs , and members of things under their influence : In all things brought forth by Generation , they give Form and Motion , &c. The present State of the Stars are forced to act their effects according to the preordinate , and preexistant Power ; therefore they cause or incline , and are not altogether Signs and Constellations , when they are stirred up to act their Effects upon present things ; their Effects proceed from the like Causes of Preordination , for unlike Causes cannot stir up to Action , dislike preexistances , according to the power of the Effects , &c.

Seaventhly . And that we may distinguish , and know the Effects of singular Stars , it is convenient to know the distinction , natures , and order of their Effects , according to the Doctrine of the best of Phylosophers ; from the first principal qualities and mixtures , are given the Matter and substantial Form ; all these we distinguish in the two first Ki●… the Passive or Feminine , the Active or Masculine ; to 〈◊〉 first we alledg the matter , the quantity and quality , because it is Passive in all its Qualities ; from which flows moisture , dryness , thinness , and thickness , &c.

To the Masculine we attribute the substantial material Form , because it is Active , as light and heat ; cold , tast , smell , and sound , are the Active Virtues of Mixtures , &c.

Eighthly . The Virtues or Qualities of Mixtures , are truly worthy of Admiration , before the multitude Diversities and Effects thereof ; for we do not say they are Elementary , neither to proceed from the Elements , but are Celestial Qualities , which have altogether their Being from the Celestial Light ; wherefore there are , Elemental and Celestial Qualities of divers Kinds ; and although the Stars by turns produce elementary Qualities in Transmutation ; yet they produce also , more powerful Qualities in those things which they are near ; as to the production of universal Mixtures : We also say with Aristotle , that altogether Celestial Qualities , proceeds from the ☉ and ☽ , agreeing , as vital Heat , and radical Moisture in Animals ; that so we cannot deny from the rest of the Stars , from which is made such a distinction , of divers Mixtures of a contrary Nature ; for as the Luminaries with the Malefacts , produces poysonous Matter , or Enimies to them , &c. so they produce with the Benevolents the contrary ; from whence Antipathy and Sympathy , have their beginning in themselves , now the Qualities of Mixtures , and also of the Elements , are first in power , at least according to Nature , afterwards into Action ; but those have it , by the manner of their being , for they go successively to Action from their Powers ; wherefore from thence they are restored to their helping and actual Qualities ; by Vital Heat , and Radical Moisture , they give to the Power of Animals ; Sensitive , Digestive , Retentive , and Expulsive Faculties , &c. which are distinguished in themselves , and they have one and the same Exercise and Action , to which is Power given ; First , then Action , these vital Qualities are distinguished into two , viz. Naturally , and Violently ; First by a final consumption of preexistant Power in Old Age ; Secondly by violent Extention from contrary and violent Causes ; the Stars although they never desist from acting , and altering of things inferior , yet they do not produce notable Effects from that alteration , unless in familiar things , &c.

Ninthly . Various , and divers are the Opinions of the Antients , about the celestial Houses , but that which we allow of , is those of Ptolomy's double temporal hours , all the rest we reject , as void foolish and insignificant ; the Signs and Houses have a real distinction , not in the Heavens ; but in the Subject inferior , according to this manner , the influx of the Stars are to be received ; the Signs have likewise a true and real kind after the same manner ; for the Masculine by a proper influx to the place of their first begining are Active ; the Feminine , to the place of their first beginning are Passive , so from the intention of Light , proceeds the Active Quality ; and from the Extention of Light the Passive Quality , &c.

Hileg or giver of Life . Tenthly . The givers of Life are in Number five , viz. the ☉ , ☽ , Ascendant , Midheaven , and ♁ , and they which Respect any other , must needs Run into Error and Confusion .

Now the Aphetical places in the World , from whence the Giver of Life is taken , are also five , viz. the Ascendant , 11th . 10th . 9th . and 7th . Houses ; so that if the ☉ , be found in any of these Aphetical places , he shall be accepted as Hileg or Giver of Life , but if he should happen to be in the 2d . 3d. 4th . 5th . 6th . 8th . or 12th . Houses then Regard the ☽ . and see if she be in any of the a foresaid places which if she be Accept of her for giver of Life , the Nativity being either Diurnal or Nocturnal ; and if the ☽ be not so posited , then take notice of the ♁ in the night time and if he be found in any of the Aphetical places , then , he shall be Hileg or Giver of Life , but if neither ☉ ☽ nor ♁ be thus found ; then Regard the Horoscope , or Ascendant , and that shall be the giver of Life , but if neither ☉ ☽ , nor ♁ should be posited as a foresaid , then neglect all , and take the Midheaven for the giver of Life , but take Notice , that this is to be understod , when the Native is like to dye by the Hand of Justice ; and further Note , that there can be but one Giver of Life in any Nativity , and when ever that comes to the body or ill Aspect , of the Anareta , or Killing Star , the Native most certainly Expires .

Lastly . In the next place , you must note , as there are five hilegicals , or givers of Life ; and five hilegical places from whence they are taken , so are there five places in the figure , from whence the Anareta or Killing Planet is to be taken ; and are as followeth viz. the 2d . 12. th 8th . 6th . and 4th . houses ; prefering the 8th . house and its Lord first , the 4th . and it 's Lord next ; the 12th . and it 's Lord next ; the 6th . house and it's Lord next ; and last of all the 2d . house and it's Lord ; and note this that the 12th . house commonly denotes self Murder , or willful sickness , also Diseases unnatural ; the 6th . diseases Natural ; the 8th . house Death both Violent and Natural ; the 2d . house Death through Coveteousness and Dispair ; and the 4th . house is the Grave and end of all things , and further Note , that fixed Signs , gives lingering Diseases , Common Signs Variable ; and Movable Signs gives diseases , that quickly Ends one way or other , also Fiery Signs gives diseases of Cholour ; Earthy signs diseases of melancholy , Airyal Signs diseases of the blood and Wind , and Watery Signs gives diseases of Flegme , or as we commonly call them flegmatick distempers , likewise ♄ and ☿ gives melancholy distempers , ♃ and ♀ diseases of the blood ♂ and ☉ diseases of Choler , and ☽ diseases of Flegme .

Now as to the measure of Time in Directions , Divers are the opinions of Authors , some take a Degree of the Equator for a year , others the Motion of the ☉ , of the day of Birth for a year , others the mean Motion of the Sun ; and some otherwise . But we for the first year after the Nativity , take that part of the Equator , that a grees with the Right Ascention of the ☉ , for that day , and for the day following , and so successively every day ; which shall be the Arches for so many years , &c.

In the next Place . For the true Zodiacal Way of Directions , and first how to Direct the Sun being near the Midheaven , &c.

THus we Account the ☉ near the Cusp of the House To direct Sol being near the M. C. when he is but 3 dg . distant from it , &c. First take the R. A. of the ☉ , then the place of the Aspects viz. the R. A. whether it be to a ☌ or ☍ ; the Latitude in this Case is to be neglected , if he have not greater then his Orb ; if he hath , it is not to be neglected ? this is the difference between the Horozontal ( or Mundane ) and Zodiacal Aspects , because they are made from the greatest nearness , to the greatest distance of the Stars , amongst themselves ; and above the real way of them in the Zodiack : The greatest nearness happens in the same partil Longitude , although they are distant and differ according Latitude ; unless as I have said , the Latitude in either ☌ or ☍ , exceed the greatness of their Orb ; if it be greater , then is the ☌ or ☍ in the Zodiack of small force ; now sub . the R. A. of the ☉ , from the R. A. of the Planets Aspect , and the Remainder is the Arch of Direction , &c.

Example , The M. C. is ♏ 8 dg. 15m . the ☉ in ♏ 8dg . 21m . to be directed to the ☌ of ♀ , in 22dg . 45m . of ♐ , &c.

The R. A. of the ☉ is 215dg . 58m . the R. A. of ♀ is , 262 dg. 8m . I sub . the R. A. of the ☉ , from the R. A. of ♀ , and there remains 46dg . 10m . which is the Arch of Direction , which is to be equated , &c.

Secondly . How to direct the ☉ , being near the Horoscope or seaventh House .

How to direct Sol being near the Horoscope . THus , take the obli . Asc . of the ☉ , in the Latitude of the Place , if it be in the Ascendant , and near the Cusp thereof ; but if near the Cusp of the seaventh House , his obli . Dece . or the obli . Asce . of his opposite place ; then take the obli . Ascen. or obli . Dece . of the Aspects , under the same Pole , still neglecting their Lat. if it be not greater then their Orb , then sub . the obli . Ascen. of the ☉ , from the obli . Ascen. of the Aspect , and the remainder is the Arch of Direction , &c.

Thirdly . How to Direct the ☉ above the Earth , being far distant from any of the Cardinal Houses ; if the ☉ be above the Earth , and above 3dg . distant from the Cusp of the Cardinal Houses . do thus ▪

To direct Sol above the Earth . FIrst take the distance of the ☉ from the Mid heaven in R. A. and from that sub . the R. A. of the Aspects , which we call the first distance ; then get the Semidiurnal Arch of the ☉ , and also of the Aspects , and by the Rule of Proportion say , if the Semidiurnal Arch of the ☉ , gives that R. A. distance ; what shall the Semidiurnal Arch of the Aspect or Promittor give ; the product shall be , the secondary R. A. which if both be made in the Ascending Part of Heaven , sub . the Secondary Ascention from the Primary , and the remainder is the Ark of Direction , &c.

Fourthly .

To direct Sol by his Pole. ANother way ; take the Elevation of the Pole of the ☉ ; and there in the obli . Ascen. of the ☉ ; and likewise the obli . Ascen. of the Aspect ; sub one from the other , and the remainder is the Arch of Direction ; for this Reason , we have set the Table of 11th . 3d. 12th . and 2d . Houses , from 30. to 60dg . of North or Soutt Latitude , &c.

Fifthly .

To direct ☉ in the space of Twilight . How to direct the ☉ to any aspect , being under the Earth in the space of twilight ; wherefore the ☉ , being found in the space of twilight , he ought to be directed a bove parallel Circles , to the Horizon ; and not a bove horary Circles , as when the ☉ is a bove the Earth ; if the ☉ be found in the Morning twilght , first direct the ☉ to the degree of the aspect , under the Latiude of the place , altho the ☉ is not there , but below thou shalt take Notice of the arch of direction severally , afterwards take the distance of the Sun from the Horoscope , in oblique Ascen. Which call the ☉ primary distance , and beware that , that distance be not greater then the parallel of twilight , which is 18. dg . for if it be , the ☉ is not in that parallel , and in this Case you must work by the following Rule , but if the ☉ be in the parallel of twilight then with the distance of the ☉ , from the Horizon a bove taken , enter the Table of twilight under the Lat. of the place , which is in the top of the Table and with the Sign and Degree in the Head or Foot of the Table ; and in the Angle of meeting or body of the Table , you shall find the distance of the ☉ from his rising , and observe the dg . of the Parallel of twilight , which the ☉ possesses in the first Collumn ; with taking the proportional part of the ☉ place to dg . and under the same parallel look out the distance of the Direction ( that is to say ) what distance the ☉ is from the Horoscope , in that parallel of twilight ; and this distance call the secondary distance ; then if both the first and second distance are equal , the true Arch of Direction , is that which you first counted , viz. the ☉ in the Horoscope , but if they are not Equal , substract , the less from the greater , and the remainder call the Oriental distance , and if the secondary distance , be greater then the primary then sub . The oriental distance from the arch of direction , and the remainder is the true arch of direction , which is to be equated as before ; and you must take Notice , that in seeking , of the primary distance of the ☉ , from the Horoscope , in the Tables of twilight , it is sufficient to take the proportional part of the dg . Only , reiecting the m. which when you have taken , take the dg . of the depression or parallel of twilight , and in the right line with the parrallel distance , you shall find the nearest proportional distance , which when you have found by proportional parts , ( the first primary Natural distance of the ☉ being neglected for it doth not signifie much , to take the dg . and m. Of the depression of twilight , but it is sufficent to take the greatest and nearest dg . of the ☉ long , with the proportional part .

As For Example .

Exampl . The ☉ directed to the □ of ♂ in no dg . of ♋ , ♂ being in no dg . of ♈ at birth ; at the same time 11 dg. 0 m. of ♓ Asend . In the latitude , 44 dg . the ☉ being in ♈ 15 dg. 46. m. the obli . ascen . of the ascend : in that latitude is 349. dg. 45. m. the obli . ascen . of the ☉ with the Circle is 368 dg. 28 m. the difference is 18 dg. 43 m. I enter the Table of twilight in the latitude of 44. dg . and there I look for this distance 18dg . 43m . and also for 16. dg . of ♈ , which I cannot find , but there is 10. dg . and 20 dg . Now under 10de . of ♈ , is 18de . 32m . and under 20 dg . I find 19 dg. 1 m. the difference is 29m . then I say , if 10dg . gives 29 m. what shall 6 dg . give viz. 17. m. which being added to 18dg . 32m . makes 18dg . 49m . and against that in the first Column : is the Parallel of Twilight 13 dg . &c.

☉ primary distance . Now the Suns primary distance viz. 18 dg. 43 m. being neglected as a foresaid , I take 18 dg. 49 m. then looking out the aspect , which falls in no dg . of ♋ under the lat. 44 dg . and 13 dg . Parallel of twilight , I find 24 dg. 45 m. which is the secondary distance and is greater then the Primary by 5 dg. 56 m. and now the obli . Ascen of the ☉ is 8 dg. 28 m. and the obli . ascen . of the aspect is 65 dg. 10 m. and both under the lat. of 44 dg . now I substract , the oblique ascen . of the ☉ , from the oblique ascen . of the aspects , and the difference is 56 dg. 42 m. and because the secondary distance is greater then the primary , I substract 5 dg. 56 m. from the aforesaid 56 dg. 42 m. and there remains 50 dg. 46 m. for the true arch of direction , which is to be equated as before &c.

To direct ☉ at evening Twilight . But if the ☉ be to be directed at Evening Twilight , all things must be noted as before , but just contrary in all the operations , or else taken in oblique ascen . to all the opposite places &c.

Sixthly .

To Direct the Sun , being found beyond the Parallel of Twilight , under the Earth , &c.

To direct ☉ under the Earth . IF the ☉ be found under the Earth , whither Oriental ; or Occidental , out of the parallel of Twilight : First take his Seminocturnal Arch , and from thence sub . his whole Arch of Twilight , and keep the remainder , which is the obscure Arch ; afterwards take the Seminocturnal Arch of the Aspect , from whence sub . his whole Arch of Twilight , and the remainder is the obscure Arch of the Aspect , &c. Next take the distance both of the ☉ and Aspect from the 4th . House in R. A. then by the Rule of Proportion say , if the whole Arch of Obscurity of the ☉ , gives his distance from the 4th . house , what shall the Arch of Obscurity of the Aspect give , &c. Which distance being found , you are to observe the same Rules , as in directing the ☉ above the Earth , and all one , as if the arches of obscurity , was the semidiurnal , or seminocturnal Arches , &c.

Example .

Example . Let the ☉ be in 11dg . 45m . of ♒ , to be directed to an Aspect in 22d . 35m . of ♓ , the seminocturnal Arch 〈…〉 the ☉ is 7h . 7m . the whole Arch of Twilight , being su●… which is one hour 43m . the remainder 5h . 24m . is t●… Arch of Obscurity ; the Suns distance from the 4th . House , in R. A. is 40dg . 11m . &c.

Now the seminocturnal Arch of the Aspect , is 6h . 11m . and his Arch of Twilight is 1h . 39m . which being sub . from the seminocturnal Arch , leaves 4h . 32m . for the Arch of Obscurity : Now the Aspects distance from the 4th . House in R. A. is 79d . 10m . then by the Rule of Proportion say , if 5h . 24m . gives 40d . 11m . what shall 4h . 32m . give , viz. 33d . 44m .

Seaventhly . To direct the Sun to Parallels being found in any part of the Heavens , do thus .

To direct ☉ to Parallels . FIrst find their Declination with Latitude if they have any , and see what degree and Minute of the Ecliptick answers to that Declination ; so that if he be near the cardinal Houses , his Direction is as aforesaid , if further of direct under his proper Pole of Position , &c.

Eighthly . To Direct a Significator having Latitude to any Conjunction or Aspect .

To direct Significator having Latitude . AS the Sun keeps his true Course in the Ecliptick , so the rest of the Planets which have Latitude , when they come to be directed to any Aspect , they move in their own Spheres according to their succession of lat. we call it succession , because it is not always the same , but is changed according to the greatest distance or nearness , that they are to the Nodes ; therefore it follows , that a Significator having lat. when he is to be directed to any Aspect , the lat. of the Aspect is to be neglected ; and the lat. which the Significator hath at that place , where the Aspect falls , is to be taken ; and the Directions are as the others ; only neglecting the Rule of the Suns Direction under the Earth , &c.

Ninthly . To Direct a Significator having Latitude , to Parallels .

To direct a Signi . having lat. to Parallels . FIrst find the Declination of the Star , to whose Parallal you would direct a Significator with lat. which when you have found , enter the Tables of Declination with the lat. the Significator shall have in that Place ; until you come to the dg . and min. of the Promittors Declination .

As for Example . I would Direct the ☽ to the Parallel Of ♄ .

How to direct ☽ to a para . of ♄ . SATVRN is in 13 dg . of ♓ , and his lat. is 1dg . south Now his Declination will be found to be 7dg . 37m . which in the Ecliptick answers to about 10dg . of ♓ , the ☽ is in 24dg . of ♌ ; now I enter the Table of Declination under ♍ , the opposite part , in that place the ☽ meets with this Parallel , &c. The ☽ s North Node is in 19dg . of ♋ , so in that place she will have 3dg . 53m . north lat. with which I enter the Table of Declination , and against 10d . of ♍ , and 4dg . north lat. I find 11dg . 33m . which is too much ; so under the said 4dg . of lat. I come to 21dg . of ♍ , against which I find 7dg . 15m . and under 5dg . north lat. I find 8dg . 10m . in which said 21dg . of ♍ , I find what lat. the ☽ will have , and by her distance from her Node , I find she hath 4dg . 23m . north lat. Now the diference between 7dg . 15m . and 8dg . 10m . is 55m . therefore I say , if 60m . gives 55m . what shall 23 give , viz. 21m . which added to 7dg . 15m . it will make 7dg . 36m . which shews , that 21dg . of , ♍ is the true Parallel of ♄ .

Tenthly .

To direct a Significator to his Aspect . How to direct a Significator to his own proper Aspects : First find his Longitude ; that is the Longitude ; of his Aspect ( in the Ecliptick if it be the ☉ ) and according to her lat. if it be the ☽ , always observing the lat. that she hath at the place of her Aspect , which is found by her distance from her Nodes , as before taught ; then take the R. A. or Ob. A. of the Aspect both in lat. and long . and work according to our former Rules , but Note this , that the Ascend . nor M. C. are not to be directed to any of the Planets Aspects in the Zodiack , but to those in the World only ; nor to Parallels in the Zodiack , but those in the Horizon or World , and those always direct , and never Converse .

Eleaventhly . Of Mundane Directions , &c.

Mundane Directions THe Aspects in the World , are proportional distances by their Motion about the World , for a Star that shall be distance from the Horizon , a third part of his diurnal arch shall cast his ⚹ to the ascend . and if he be halfe his diur . arch , he will cast a □ to the ascendant , and 2 third parts of his arch is a △ , and his whole arch is an ☍ , therefore the first house is in ⚹ to the 11th . and third , and in □ to the 10th . and 4th . in △ to the 9th . and 5th . & in ☍ to the 7th . and so of the rest , &c. although the diurnal and nocturnal Arches differ among themselves , the Houses have no distinction , property nature or force of themselves , but from the Stars , and in the division of the Houses by double hourly times , according to Ptclomy's method , it hath no respect to the Ecliptick , as if there were no such thing , but have only respect to the semidiurnal and seminocturnal Arches of the Stars ; and those Aspects in the World , to any house , or from any house , have no respect to the Ecliptick , but aecording to their semidiurnal and seminocturnal Arches ; or according to their motion about the World ; these things being rightly understood , the whole mundane Art of Directions is very easy , &c.

Twelvethly . To Direct the Ascendant , or M. C. to the Conjunction or Opposition of a Star.

IF you direct the M. C. take the R. A. of the 10th . house from the R. A. of the ☍ of the Star with lat. & after the same manner the ☍ with contrary lat. the remainder To direct the Ascendant . is the Arch of Direction , &c. But for the Ascend . sub . the ob . asc . of the Ascend . from the ob . asc . of the Star , with his lat. if he have any ; and so for the ☍ but with contrary Latitude , &c.

The Ascendant may be directed another way .

As thus , if you sub . the semidiurnal Arch of the Star , from his R. A. and from the remainder , sub . the R. A. of the M. C. there remains the Arch of Direction as before , &c. after the same manner the Ascend . is to be directed to fixed Stars .

Thirteenthly . How to direct the M. C. to a ⚹ , □ , or △ .

FIrst enter the Table of Declination , with the Stars place , To direct the M. C. and take his declination according to his lat. and look to what dg . of the Ecliptick , that Declination answers , if it be not above the greatest obliquity , if it be ? work by the Tables of ascentional difference , and find his semidiurnal Arch ; but if it be within 23dg . 30m . enter the Tables of semidi . Arches , and look for his coresponding dg . in the Ecliptick , and against it , you shall find his semidi . Arch , in 〈◊〉 . & 〈◊〉 which ) is to ●…ted into dg , & m. of the Equator ; whereof two thirds makes a ⚹ , being added to the Stars R. A. if he be in the ●…part or Heaven ; but if he be in the Ori. sub the sd . 〈◊〉 also work as aforesaid to □ or △ , &c.

Example .

Example . Suppose the R. A. of the M. C. is 220dg . to which answers 12dg . 27m . of ♏ , and a Planet were in 28dg . of ♐ having ●dg . 〈…〉 north lat. I find his declination to be 23dg . 20m . to which agrees 23dg . of ♐ ; with that I enter the Table of semidi . Arch , under the lat. of the place , viz , 52dg . which I find to be 3 〈◊〉 46m . the which being converted into dg . & m. is 56dg . 30m . Now the 2 thirds thereof is 37d . 40m . which being sub . from 267d . 49m . ●●e Stars R , A. leaves 230d . 9m . for the R. A. of the 〈…〉 the Star , from whence I sub . the R. A. of the M. C. and there remains the Arch of Direction , viz. 10 Degrees 9 Minutes .

Fourtenthly . To Direct the ascend , to a ⚹ , □ or △ aspect &c.

IF the ascend be to be directed to any aspect of a Star , that is above the Earth ; divide the semidiurnal To direct the Ascend . arch of the Star into three Equal parts , and if you add two of those parts of the obli . asc . of the Star , taken under the pole of birth , and from that sub . the obli . asc . of the ascend . the remainder is the arch of direction of ⚹ ; and understand this that 4 of those parts makes a △ , and the whole semidurnal arch is a □ &c. but take notice that the ascend . and M. C. are to be directed to no aspects but those in the World.

Another way to direct the ascendant .

Take one third part of the Stars semidiurnal arch , from is right Asc . and from the remainder sub . the right asc . If the M. C. and the residue is the Arch of Direction , of Anothe way ●…e ⚹ Aspect as before , &c. But if you add the third part 〈◊〉 the Stars semid . Arch to his R. A. and from the sum 〈◊〉 . the R. A. of the M. C. there rests the Arch of Directi●… to a △ , &c.

But if you seek for the Aspects under the Earth , you ●…e to divide the Stars seminoct . Arch into 3 equal parts , and do in all cases as before , but instead of the M. C. take the 4th . House for your Work , &c.

Of a Quartil . Now for the Quartil Aspect , Substract the R. A. of the M. C. or 4th . House , from the R. A. of the Star , and the remainder is the Arch of Direction , for the □ , &c.

Example . Or thus , Take the obli . Asc . of the Star with lat. if he hath any , ( under the Pole of Birth ) and to that add his semid or seminoct . Arch , according as he is above or under the Earth , and from the Sum sub . the ob . Asc . of the Ascend , and the remainder is the Arch of Direction of the □ as before , &c. These Rules are so plain , and easy that there needs no Example .

Fifteenthly . How to direct the Ascendant or M. C. to a smq . Q. ssq. or Bq.

USe the same method as in the ⚹ , □ , or △ ; and Note that a smq . is half the □ , and the Q. is a fifth part To direct the Ascendant . to be sub . from the semid . or seminoct . Arch ; the 〈◊〉 is the semid . or seminoct . Arch , and half the same added thereto ; and the Bq. is a Q. doubled , as the Tables of the Aspects , in the 2d . Part will plrinly shew , &c.

Sixteenthly . Now to direct a Significator , being near the Cusp of any House , to a Conjunction or Opposition , do thus .

FIrst , if a Significator shall be within 3d. of the M. C. take his R. A. and the R. A. of the Promittors Body To direct a Siguificator . or 8 , regarding his lat. &c.

But if within 3d. of the Ascendant , take the ob . Asc . of both , viz. the Significator and Promittor , under the Pole of the House , then sub . the Significator from the Promittor , regarding his lat. if he have any , and the remainder is the Arch of Direction , &c.

Likewile , if the Stars be upon , or within 3d. of the Cusp of any other House , the direction is the same with the House , viz. directed under the Pole of that House , or by R. A. if upon the M. C. as aforesaid , but if in the descending part , use the opposite Places , &c.

Example .

Suppose ☉ were to be directed to a ⚹ of ♃ , the Sun being on the Cusp of the 9th . in 5de . of ♌ , and ♃ were in Ezamplo . 18de . of ♋ , the Pole of Birth being 44de . Now I take the opposite Sign and deg. because the Sun and ♃ are in the descending part of Heaven , the poles of the 9th . and 3d. Houses is 18de . the ob . Ascen. of the Suns opposite place , is about 314dg . from whence I sub . 60de . and there remains 254 , which is the ob . asc . of the Ascend . Now the ob . asc . of ♃ s. opposite place under the Pole of 18de . is 297de . from whence I sub the ob . asc . of the Ascend . viz. 254 de . and there remains the Arch of Direction , 43de . because by the motion of the Primum Mobile when the Asc●●d . comes to the opposite place of ● , the ☉ comes to his ⚹ , &c.

Seaventeenthly . To Direct a Significatior being aboue 3 deg. distant from the Cusp of any House .

THus , get the semid . Arch of the Star , if he be above To direct a Significator the Earth , or his feminoct . Arch if under the Earth & his distance from the proceed . or suc. cusps of the house , ( which you please ) then take the feminoct . or semid . arch of the Promittor , ( with this Caution ) if the Aspect be above the Earth , take his semid . Arch , but if under the Earth , his seminoct . Arch , and this you may know by the very Houses themselves , for the 10th . hath the 8th . & 12th . houses for a ⚹ , and 〈◊〉 and 7th . for a □ , the 6th and 2d . for a △ , and so of the rest , &c. Then by the Rule of Proportion say ; if the semid . or seminoct . Arch of the Significator gives his distance from the Cusp of the House , what shall the semid . or seminoct . Arch of the Promittor give ; which shall be the secondary distance of the Promittor , from the Cusp of the preceeding or following House , that you took the Significa . or Promittor from ; which if they be taken both from the Houses preceeding , or succeeding ; then sub . the lesser from the greater , and the remainder is the Arch of Direction ; but if the one preceed , and the other succeed , then add the Numbers both together , and you will have the Arch of Direction , &c.

Eightenthly . To Direct a significator to his own aspects .

But note this , the ☉ and ☽ are only to be directed this way and when they come to their own aspects , To direct a Significator they have most notable Effects , where note that the Direction of the ☉ or ☽ to their proper ⚹ , is no more , then taking the two third parts of their semidiurnal or seminocturnal arches according to their position , a bove or under the Earth &c.

The □ is the whole semidiurnal or seminocturnal arch ; and if you ad the fifth part of the semidiurnal or seminocturnal arch to the ⚹ , you have the quintil , and so of the rest ; as you have been taught already ; so that two third parts of the semid . or seminoct . arch , is the arch of direction of the ⚹ , and the whole semid . or seminoct . arch is the arch of direction for the square aspect &c.

Nineteenthly . To direct a Significator to Parallels in the World

Parallels in the World , are no other than as when two Stars are equally distant from any of the four Cardinal Houses , &c.

AS thus if one Star be upon the Cusp of the 11th . House , and another upon the Cusp of the 9th . they To direct a Significat . are in exact Parallel , being of equal destance from the M , C. &c. So likewise one being upon the 12th . and another on the Cusp of the 2d . they are also in Parallel , as being of equal distance from the Horoscope , &c. Where Note that in these Parallels the distance is found from several parts , as a Star on the Cusp of the 12th . is in Parallel to the 8th . 2d . and 6th . Houses ; and one on the 11th . is in Parallel to the 9th . 3d. and 5th . Houses , and so of the 〈◊〉 : Now if two Stars are in Parallel , and both above the Earth , take their distance from the M. C. in R. A. and call this the 1st . Distance , then by the Rule of Proportion say , if the semid . Arch of the Significator gives his distance from the M. C. what shall the semid . Arch of the Promittor give ; which being known , you are to work as in the Direction of the Sun above the Earth , as in the Zodiacal Aspects , &c.

But if the Star be under the Earth , take their distance from the fourth house and work as before , their distance may likewise betaken from the Horizon and worke as before with obli . ascen . but if one be above the Earth and another under the Earth , take the distance of one from the M. C. and the other from the fourth house and worke as before ; else take the oppsite place of that which is under the Earth &c. But if they are both under the Earth take their distance from the fourth house and worke as before , only remember this for the semid iurnal arches take the seminocturnal arches , for I shall advise you not to be like the Surveyer who Measured continually from Oxford to London , and from London to Oxford again ; when he was appointed to measure from Oxford to London , and from London to Cambridg , &c. Now by these parallels in the World we conceive the significator to remaine Imovable in the Horary Circle of his position , because in a Nativity , the virtue of the significator as well as the promittor , in the fame , Primum Mobile is Imprinted , and this according to the opinion of all Professors ; &c. Likewise both these Virtues are brought to , by the Motion of the Primum Mobile from East to West .

Twentyethly . To direct the Sun , being under the Earth to any aspect .

If the ☉ be in the space of twilight ; first get the direction to direct the ☉ under the Earth . of the ☉ to the aspect of the Promittor , whether it be ⚹ . □ . or △ , as before taught , which arch call the feigned arch .

Secondly . you must know to what deg. of the Zodiack . the ☉ comes to at that time , by takeing his pole ( according to the Rule ) and there his Ob. Asc . and to that by ading the feigned arch a foresaid , and the sum is the Ob. Ascen. of the dg . of the Zodiack ; to which the ☉ comes on both sides ; else it will signifie little ; in this way of direction : then with the ☉ 's Primary distance from the Horizon see what parallel of twilight he possess , and therein the same take his secondary distance ; to which the supposed feigned direction shall come ; then by the Rule of proportion say , if the seminoct arch of the ☉ , gives his secondary distance from the Horoscope ; what shall the semid . or seminoct . arch , of the promittor give , and the fourth Number shall be the secondary distance of the promittor , from the Cardinal or any other house , from whence you seek a proportinal distance ; and so you obtain the arch of direction ; &c.

Twenty 1st . To direct the Sun out of the space of Twilight , &c.

FIrst you are to find the feigned place of the Aspect as before taught . Secondly you must know to what to direct the ☉ out of twilight . dg . of the Ecliptick the ☉ comes to by this direction ; then say , if the Arch of obscurity of the ☉ , gives his primary distance from the fourth House , what shall the obscure arch of the Ecliptical dg . give which the ☉ comes to by this dyrection , and the product is the secondary distance from the fourth House , &c.

Now if the ☉ be in the 3d. or fourth Houses , use this distance ; but if he be in the 2d . or fifth Houses , sub . from this distance one third part of ☉ seminoct . Arch and the remainder is the ☉ 2d . distance from the 3d. or 5th . Houses : Then say , if the seminoct . Arch of the ☉ give his secondary distance from the determinate House , what distance shall the seminoct . Arch of the Promittor give ( from that House ) so work as you were taught before , &c.

Twenty 2d . To direct a Significator to all Aspects Converse , which are made in the World.

WHat hath been said of Mundane Directions , in directing the Significators , to the Promittors ; the To direct a Significator difference in this converse Direction , is no other then where as we took the seminoct . or semid . Arch of the Significator , &c.

Now in this , we take semid . or seminoct . Arch of the Promittor first , and work as if the Promittor were Significator : But Note this , that none of the cardinal Houses are to be directed conversly , for they have no Motion to the preceeding Planet or Aspect , &c.

Twenty 3d. To find out the Number of Years the Native may Live according to Ptolomp's Doctrine , by directing the giver of Life to the West .

THat is , if any Planet , by Body or Aspect shall come between the Giver of Life , and the Cusp of the Of Years . 7th . House , take his distance by ob . descen . and divide their distance by 12 , and what remains keep ; where Note that all the Aspects of ♃ and ♀ ; the remainder after division , are to be added to the distance of the giver of Life from the 7th . House , and the remainder of the Aspects of ♄ & ♂ are to be sub . there from , and what remains shews the Number of years the Native may Live , &c.

Example .

In a Nativity if the ☉ is in the 9th . House , his distance from the 7th . House by ob . descen . is 75de . 56m . ♀ likewise casts her ⚹ to the 7th . House , and the distance between the ⚹ of ♀ , and the 7th . House , is 32de . 55m . which divided by 12 , there remains 2de . 45m . fere . the Quintil of ♀ is distant from the 7th . House , 19de . 37m . which divided Example . by 12 , leaves 1de . 38m . the ☌ of ♃ is distant 61 de. 28m . which divided by 12 , leaves 5de . 7m . which three remainders being added to the ☉ s distance , makes 85de . 26m . The □ of ♂ to the 7th . House is 7de . 57m . which divided by 12 , leaves ●de . 40m . fere . ♄ s Sisquiquadrat is 34de . 53m . which divided by 12 , leaves 2de . 54m . which being sub . from 85de . 26m . leaves 81de . 52m . the number of years that the Native may live , which is to be equated as in other Directions , &c.

Twenty 4th . Of Secondary Directions .

ALL the directions before treated of , of what nature soever , we call primary Directions ; but by secondary of secondary directions . Directions , we mean the days that shall succeed the Nativity , wherein shall be accounted the Aspects of the Stars , both to the Luminaries and Cardinal Houses , in which days they happen ; from these singular days , to which aspects they belong , they produce their Effects , for the respective Years ; as if the first day is for the first Year , the second day after Birth for the second Year , the 3d. for the 3d. the 4th . for the 4th . Year , and so of the rest successively , wherefore we are to observe when the ☽ is in Aspect to the Stars , for if she be with the benevolent Stars , or their good Aspects , or with the good Aspects of the Infortunes , it doth denote a healthful and prosperous Year , according to the Nature of the Houses governed by those Planets in the Radix ; but if joyned with the evil Planets , or evilly beheld , or in parallel Declination of the Infortunes , it shews to those years pointed by those days , in which those evil configurations shall happen , great crosses and losses , also sicknesses , and without doubt they shall have notable effects , if at that time there shall be operating a primary direction of that nature and kind ; now before the rest , the climacterical Years are to be noted ; for if in those days the ☽ is in □ or ☍ to the place she was in at Birth , and there happen to be an evil primary direction of the giver of Life , Death is at the Door , or then much to be feared ; also if the ☽ in the secondary directions be afflicted of the Infortunes ; likewise the ☉ also in secondary directions ; also the same if there happen a bad primary direction , with which if both the Revolution and Transit agree , it certainly Kills ; but this Subject hath already been handled by the Industrious Mr. William Salmon , In his Horae Mathematicae , &c. Where Note the primary direction is the most effectual of all ; therefore if this be kindly accepted by the Grateful Sons of VRANIA , we will ; God willing in another Treatise , be more Full and Copious , yet except a Man be Stone-blind ; or hath lost his Sences , here is enough to furnish the weakest of Capacities , as well as the strongest Genious , as may evidently appear by the Work.

Now we shall treat of PROGRESSIONS .

W●… Note , that the progression is no otherwise to be taken , but from the space of time in which the ☽ Represents all her Faces , and distances , from the ☉ , which she can have , and return to the same place where she had her begining from ; in which Compass she Runs through almost 13 Signs , and the Sun one ; and the Progressions according to our Method , have their begining from these Motions of the Luminaries ; Now the first Lunation Of Progressions . after Birth , shall Measure out the first year ; so likewise the second Progression the second year ; the third Progression the third year &c. And likewise than the first parts of the Progressions , shall Measure out the first part of the year , the second part the Middle , part of the year , and the third part the latter end of the year , or last part thereof &c.

Now for the finding of the Progressions for any year ,

We are to Number up so many Lunations from the Nativity ; which is done by putting the ☽ in the same face and distance from the ☉ , as she had at Birth , and for every month above the compleat year , add 32 dg. 30 m. because they are the 12 parts of one Lunation : and if you would have the progression to many years , you must Note that the ☽ makes 12 Lunations in 354 Dayes which is 11 Dayes less then a year , therefore take the distance of the ☽ from the ☉ in the Nativrty , and this you will find a 11 Dayes before the End of the first year , and where you find that distance , that shall be the Progression for the 12 th year ; and if 22 dayes be substracted from the End of the second year , there you will find the Progression for the 24 th . year , and so you may Proceed to every single year , and to every month thereof , by the addition of 32 dg . m. 30 and where ever the 〈◊〉 shall be well placed in these Progressions the Native shall have much falicity ; and the contrary , &c. those Progressions have alwayes been in great Esteem by the Learned in past Ages , and much Comended by that great Phylosopher Roger Bacon fryer , our own Country Man ; who took great pains this way and made his Lunar Progression monthly , wherein he did use to discover many material accidents as I have been informed by the Learned Mr B●ech Deceased , who hath seen something thereof in the Library in Oxford and it hath 〈◊〉 as well observed by others of Great Learning , and Profound Philosophers , it being the very Doctrine of 〈◊〉 Potlomy himself ,

Secondly of INGRESSIONS

SOme are active and some are passive , the active are the Aspects of the active Stars , by the universal and Of Ingressions . Dayly Motion , with the Places of the obtained Primary and Secondary Directions , and pocessions of the Significators .

The passive are the Aspects of the giver of Life in the whole World , with active Stars of the Secondary Directions , and Progressions ( by the active Stars we meane ) those to which Power is given to act ; and are to be put in the place of promi●… , viz. ♄ . ♃ . ♂ . ♀ . and ☿ . also the Luminaries , when they are 〈…〉 Promittors , where Note that all these Ingressions , whether active or passive , Denotes great good , when they come to the places of benevolent significators , or givers of Life and one the contrary when they come to the Places of the Malificks . &c.

Thirdly of TRANSITS

SOme are active , and some are passive , the active are the Aspects of the active Stars , by 〈…〉 Of Transits . Motion of the Hilegs or Givers of Life , in 〈…〉 ( that is to say ) with those Immovable places , the ●… Transites are the aspects of the universal significator in the World , with the active Stars at Birth , 〈…〉 to their immovable pla●… therefore the difference 〈…〉 an ●…gression , and at Transit , is this 〈…〉 the places of the 〈…〉 respects the immovable , also the Lumi●… are to be observed in day●… Motions , wheth●… be 〈…〉 or 〈…〉 of the 〈…〉 ☉ , upon 〈…〉 hur●… places ▪ for when it comes by directio●… gression 〈…〉 good place● and if the Luminaries , 〈…〉 w●ll placed to the ●…ects of the Stars they bring great ●… ; but if 〈◊〉 the con●… , they come by direction and progression ▪ to●… and the Luminaries 〈…〉 unfortunated 〈…〉 the aspects of the Mali●icks ▪ it is 〈…〉 the Native ▪ and it is 〈…〉 to be feared , that 〈…〉 signified th●… from 〈…〉 t is &c. and th●… to Di●… very 〈…〉 happens in those 〈…〉 which 〈…〉 well beheld ; by●…lents , & 〈…〉 But 〈…〉 contrary if ill be●…en they sign●… . Diseases , Slaugh●ers and the like and this you will find never faile , it being according to Great Ptolomy's own Doctrine in this most Heavenly Science , and who soever thou art , that makes practice thereof shall see the Truth and Certainty of it &c.

Fourthly . Of the Part of Fortune , and how to take it .

ANd in this we shall digress from the Vulgar way of our Modern Authors , who have admonished us Of the ♁ to observe the distance of ☉ from ☽ , and that shall be the distance of the ♁ from the Ascend . all this we do not deny , but then it must be in the Sphere of ☽ , and there it will have the true distance from the Ascend . with the same lat. and decli . of ☽ north or south , although the same happen in Signs of contrary denomination ; for ♁ is not always in the Ecliptick , but moves continually in the ☽ s Orbit , and this is to be noted , that so far as the ☉ in his circular Parallel is distant from the dg . ascending , so far shall ☽ be distant from the ♁ in her Parallel or Sphere , &c.

Now our Method in taking it is twofold ; first if the Nativity be diurnal , the true distance of the ☉ from the Ascend . being added to the R. A. of ☽ ( with respect to her lat. ) will give the true R. A of the ♁ , &c.

But if the Nativity be Nocturnal , let ☉ distance from the Ascend . be sub . from the ☽ R. A. and there will remain the true R. A. of the ♁ as before , &c.

Secondly . Let the Nativity be either diur . or noct . add the distance of ☉ from the Ascend . to the R. A. of ☽ , and the sum shall be the R. A. of the ♁ , where note , that in taking the distance of ☉ from the Ascend . it must be done in ob . A. and under the lat. of Birth , &c.

Now this way is much different from that which is used by our modern Authors , for if it be well noted , a mans own reason will tell him , that their way cannot be true , but very erronious , because they never regard the ☽ lat. a thing which ought seriously to be considered , &c.

And if the ♁ be not true taken , it will cause a great error , because many times in noct. Nativities the ♁ happens to be Giver of Life ; when it shall chance to be posited in an Aphetical Place , and ☽ not , for we prefer the ♁ before the Ascend . besides it is also directed for the Riches of the Native , and his gain in all affairs , therefore ought warily to be taken .

Now if these things be kindly accepted of by the Grateful Sons of VRANIA , we will ( God permitting ) afterwards shew the Demonstrations according to Mathematical Rules , and then its probable , the Eyes of the common Astrologers may be open , being able to discern the difference between Light and Darkness .

Fifthly of ANTISCIONS Which I have spoke of in the fore going part but for the better Instruction of Young Students , I shall giue a beter demonstration of the same ; which take as followeth .

ANtiscions are no other than real Parallels of Declination which are exact parallel Lines from the Tropicks of ♋ and ♑ , being so far extended on the o●… Of Antisoions . side of the Tropicks , as they themselves are on the other side , and it is to be observed always in 〈◊〉 of the A●… tiscion , that there must be regard and to the lat. as 〈…〉 as the long●… no w●… are taught by our modern Author to observe how much the Planet , is short of either of 〈…〉 Tropicks in Signs Degrees and Minutes , and so far shall his Antiscion fall beyond it ; all this we own , provided the Latitude be taken , &c.

Example .

Suppose a Planet were posited in 24 dg . of ♋ having 2dg . north lat. you will find by the common way , that 〈…〉 casts his Antiscion to 6d . of ♊ , but his lat. being considered Example . you will find his declination falls out to be 23d . 21m . which in the Ecliptick answers to 7d . of ♋ , and makes the Antiscion to fall in 23d . of ♊ which is 17d . more than the common way ; and this by Practice and Reason , you will find to agree with our Method , and further observe , if a Planet be in ♈ , ♉ , ♊ , ♋ , ♌ , or ♍ , with great north lat. he can have no Antiscion except the ☽ by her lat. should meet with it ; also if a Planet be in ♎ , ♏ , ♐ , ♑ , ♒ , or ♓ , with great south lat. so that it exceeds the Ecliptick , there can be no Antiscion neither , &c.

Sixthly . How to find the Semidiurnal and Seminocturnal Arch of a Star , when his Latitude shall cause his declination to exceed the Ecliptick Line .

FIrst find his declination with lat. and with the same enter the Tables of Ascentional Difference , and if How to find the Semid . or Seminoct . Arch a Star. it be in any of the 6 northern Signs ; add the ascentional difference , to 90d . and you have the semid . Arch , in de . & m. which you may convert into hours and minutes , by a Table for that purpose in the 2d . par , but if you sub . the said ascentional difference from 90dg . the remainder will be the seminoct . Arch , understand the contrary in the southern Signs , you may find the ascentionol difference an other way , which is thus , add the tangent of the declination , to the tangent of the lat. and the Sum is the Sign of the ascentional difference , and this I have given you because we have no Tables of ascentional Difference in the Book .

Seaventhly and Lastly . How to Equate the Arch of Direction , &c.

DO thus , add the Arch of direction to the R. A. of ☉ at Birth , and look for that Sum in the Tables of How to equate the Arch of Direction . R. A. in the Ecliptick ; and take the de . and m. corosponding thereto , then in an Ephemeris see how many days and hours the ☉ from the day and hour of Birth will be , e're he come to that de . & m. and so many years it will point out ; and for every two hours more then the compleat day account one month , and so you have the true Arch of direction .

Suppose the Arch of direct . were 46dg . 30m . ☉ R. A. were 197dg 31m . the sum is 243dg . 1m . to which in the Tables of R. A. answers 4dg . 58m . of ♐ ; Now the Birth was , October the 1st . 1648. If you enter an Ephemeris for that date ( or for any other date , provided it be exact ) and look for ♐ 4dg . 58m . being ☉ s place , you will find it to fall on the 16th . day of November 6h . 18m . which points out from the day of Birth , 46 years , 3 months , 4 days , and 12 hours ; this is the only real and exact Method used in the Universe , agreeing with that never to be forgotten Prince of Philosophers Great Ptolomy ; unto whom as it is said , an Angel appeared , and opened unto him the parts of the earth , but some he was commanded to keep secreet , which was those under the north Pole , as it is recorded , by that famous Mathematician Doctr. John D●… pag. 153. This Method is also practised in Arabia , Persia , and India , as I have been well informed by my very good Friend Mr. Cordwel Worral . whose Assistance we had in doing some part of this Piece , and he saith in those Countries they are far more exact , then any of our Nation are , nay we cannot , neither dare we presume to that exactness as they do , either in horary Questions or Nativities ; for almost by inspection of a Nativity , they will give a true account of the general and particular Accidents , during the whole course of the Natives Life , both how , and when they shall happen , a thing somthing strange to our apprehensions , and now the reason why we cannot do the like , is because we do not use their true Method , but follow the false Doctrine of Regiomontanus and Argol , whose directions with all their Desciples , are insipid vain and foolish , also wholly without Reason , or Truth ; yet we cannot neither will we deny , but that those Tables of theirs are of excellent use , therefore we count ourselves beholding to them , for their Laborious Studies in framing them , but for their Doctrine it is not so much Worth as the nameing it ; much less to be Prectized , and Extalled as it hath been by our selves and others , yet altho' we have been great followers of them , we will say with the wise King when we were Children , we acted as Children , but since we are Men we are come to know better ; for now we have seen their Erronious Examples ; and the Truth of the Doctrine practized ; therefore , we will follow their ways no more , but Cleave to those Rules which we Know to be most Certain and True &

Now let no Man Doubt of what we here Declare , for it is as true as a South Sun makes twelve a Clock at noon , but enough of this here , for wise Men Esteem many words , and many lyes both a like , and he that will instruct others in the Truth , must never deny the Truth himself , therefore he that talketh much and doth little , is like unto him that Sails with a Side Wind , and is borne with the Tide to the wrong Shore , & note this that from page 86 to page 117 we had that Doctrine from Placidus de titis Primum Mobile , but all the Rest of this Part is wholy mine , and the second Book is done by Mr Bishops own hand , and that very Learnedly , without any assistance .

Thus I conclude the sirst Part , Resolving to Remain Gods faithful Servant , the Kings Loyal Subiect , and my Countries Friend ,

Yours Richard Kirby

To the honourable ROBERT BOYLE , Esq Fellow of the Royal Society , Health and Prosperity . Honoured SIR ,

COnsidering those many and signal Favours that I have received from you ( notwithstanding my unmeriting desarts ) are too great to be buried in the Sea of Forgetfulness , without my humble and thankful acknowledgment of the same , so that I have here offered my Mite to be put into your Treasury , ( which I do not to add the least Atome to your Worth , but to make these my Junior Labours appear with the better lusture ) for the Present is so small that I am dubious of your acceptance , yet although the Lines are unpolisht , the Subject is Divine , because it is an Epitomy of the Coelestial Philosophy of Ptolomy King of Egypt , from whose Ashes I have endeavoured to make a Lixivium which may take off those Spots and Blurs which have defiled the beautious Vrania's Face , by the Innovations of Regiomontanus and Argol , and most of onr modern Authors , and yet the thing it self is not new , but is the true genuine Method that was practiced when the Principles of Artists were not corrupted , and when Princes themselves were well acquainted with the Language of the Stars ; and because nothing of this nature was ever Printed in the English Tongue , I have at spare hours made this Essay , which I have presumed to put under your Honour's Protection , your Name being sufficient , but more especially your Verbal Commendation , to give it a better Reception and Esteem among all Persons of Honour and Eminence , than he that is ,

Honoured SIR , Your humblest Servant , JOHN BISHOP .

TO THE READER

COurteous and Impartial Reader , I here present you with the Second Part of this most useful and necessary Piece of Astrology , wherein I have used all means possible to gratifie ●…hee ; t is true the Subject is not common , I mean as to the Me●hod of it , but I Presume it is the most-Exact of any as to Astrology , that ever was taught in England , or by any , that could ●ver speak the English Tongue ; neither had this come forth at ●his time , but by the sole Assistance of that famous Mathemati●…an , and my loving Friend , Mr. Cordwell Worral , whose ●…are and partly his Pains gave Life to this Piece , which soon ●…eceived Motion , he having been acquainted with this kind of ●…earning among the Persians and other of the Eastern Sages , ●…here they are so Dextrous that they can tell a Person the parti●…lar Transactions of his whole Life , and for the time of Death , ●…ey seldom Err , but we here in England cannot pretend to it , ●…y we doe not know after a person is dead the direction that ●…lld , by the common Method that is now practiced , as hath ●…en proved by many Nativities where the Astrologers hath pro●…ised long Life , and the Natives sometimes have dyed in their ●…fancy , or at least 20 or somtimes 30 Years before the directi●… could operate , which they would have to Kill , which things ●…th produced a Scandal upon the Art , and Artists ;

John Bishop . September the first 1686. From my House at the Golden Ball in Virginia Street , near East-smithfield , Lond.

To his intirely beloved Brother , Mr. John Bishop , on his excellent Book , entituled , The Marrow of Astrology . WHen first I chanc'd this noble Art to view , With all my vigor I did it pursue , But never saw it Perfect , till in You : How many Years hath Titon trac'd his Sphere , Since beautious ? Vrania did appear , But always Blurs upon her comely Face , Eternal shame to this our Junior Race . Hark! now She 's Fair , She 's Beautious , and what not : You 've laid her open , and not left a spot Whereby She may obnoxious be to those , From whence continual Discords have arose : Envy 's banish'd , Malice dare not appear , But all to this our Art must now give ear , The Quintescence whereof you 've wrote it here . In Honour's Arms I wish your Skill and Pain , May be imbrac'd , and then our Art again Will gain its Glory , and its former Praise , And , Phoenix like , out of its Ashes raise Herself aloft , and sail quite through the Sky , Freeing Herself from all past Treachery ; But hold ! My guiddy Pen , where do you run ? How can you th' inclos'd Excellencies shun , Of this , the Treasure of our Art most high , Known by , The Marrow of Astrology ? Here , sporting in these Sheets , you 'l Learn an Art , By which you may wonderful things impart ; Ponder each Sentence , and observe them well , The Minds of other Men you may fore-tell . Into a fruitful Vineyard here you 're led , With this Coelestial Art for to be fed , As with the sweetest Grapes , that from the Vine Yieldeth all sorts of comfortable Wine ; What need we to the Tavern run at Night , Whilst with Canaries , here you may delight Your self with Art , far richer than they be ; So let the Marrow live eternally : No Limner ever , by his cunning Skill , Drew half so fair , as this their living Quill , That ne'er will die , but always live and flourish , And all the Sucklings of Vrania nourish , With their Example never done before , By any Tyro on the English-shore ; Here 's Bishop's Councel , and Physicians Wit , The Devil 's in 't , if one of those won't hit The Nail of your Understandings dull , And drive Astrology into your Skull , Remaining there to purge your putrid Brains , And make you dextrous in the Starry Trains , Removing thence those cursed Innovations Of Argol , that hath ruin'd many Nations ; But now we 'll crown our Authors Labour here , Extolling them above the Starry Sphere ; Let 's their Great Names above the Regions raise , And crown their Quills with Laureats of Bays .

Descend you Powers above to our Assistance . ♄ Chronos , descend thy lofty Sphere , and then Lend us thy Aid to Praise our English Men , Cast off thy old Saturnine Habit here , And in thy Splendor gloriously appear . ♃ Great Phaeton , next Chronos , we implore , Come from your Orb , our Authors to adore . ♂ Quirenus , God of War ; come down and see The Gods of Art , though not of War like thee . ☉ Phoebus , with all your glorious Rays come down , Lend us your mighty Aid , these Men to Crown . ♀ Cytheria fair , come lend us but a smile , And then return , lest that you do beguile Our tender hearts , as well as Mars the great Arise aloft unto your glorious seat . ☿ Swift Hermes too , we want thy mighty aid , For to confirm what here before is said . ☽ Cynthia , in all your Starry Dress appear , 'Mongst these your Kinsfolks and Relations here , Stay your swift Course , lend us also your Rays , To give our Authors Heckatombs of Praise ; They all concluded , and with one Voice said , The Starry Art now prostrate she is laid ; They took their leaves , and up aloft did fly Unto their former Orbs in th' Azure sky . And so , dear Brother , I do here conclude , Begging your pardon for what here is rude , In these my Junior Lines , yet 't is my Will , And the first Crop that e'er dropt from my Quill ; And what is here amiss , impute it to my Skill . So I remain your loving Brother , Nicholas Bishop . Octob. 28. 1686.

THE PRINTER TO THE READER . INgenious Reader , you that buy this Book Must not for high-flown Strains within it look , For 't is not drest according to the Times , In Garments rare , no more than my dull Rhimes , But in a modest Dress it doth appear , And sober Artists thou art blest with here , Who understands the very Grounds of Art , Witness the Wonders daily they impart , By this disdained Astrologick Art ; This Art in former Ages was ador'd By Learning , but by most 't is now abhorr'd ; And , if Josephus credited may be , Princes themselves studied Astrology . Here 's Calculations and Examples rare , Will raise your ponderous Souls above the sphere Of this ingrateful and Superbean Age , With what they understand not , fall in rage , And swears what does exceed their Apprehensions , Proceeds from curs'd or devilish Inventions : To such dull Sots our Authors don't impart Their Skill , and this , The Master-piece of Art , But to Uranian Souls that 's this way bent , Vnwearied Pains here 's taken to content , Their searching Fancies and ingenious Mind With Rarities that suits your Temper kind , And when they 've read this Book , able may be To Calculate any Nativity . Now , Phoenix like , by them this Art 's renew'd Ingeneniously : Astrologers conclude , Nothing beyond the Marrow there can be ; So let it live unto Eternity . And to our Authors , for their Skill and Pains , Eternaliz'd let be their glorious Names In never-dying Volumes to their Fames . Yours and Vrania's , JOSEPH STREATER .

THE MARROW OF ASTROLOGY , PART , II.

First , What a Nativity is , and how to Rectify it .

A Nativity is the true Time , or the very Moment of any ones Birth , in which the Child comes into the World , begining then to be a visible Member of the Creation , the Stars begining then to Act and Operate , by the Power of the Angel , or Angels ruling those Constellations , Of a Nativity . arising , or then being in Greatest Power at the time of the Birth , according to the Saying of St. Jerome , when he cometh to Comment upon the 18 of St. Mathew and the 10th verse , saith thus ; Great . is the Dignity of Souls , for every one at their first appearance into the world , have an Angel appoynted for their Custody , and safety ; But seing the true Time is hard to come at , by Reason of the difference and uncertainty of all Clocks , Watches , and Dyals , the Antients have left several wayes to Rectify it by , as the Truetine of Hermes the Animoder of Ptolomy , and also by the Accidents of the Native , as for the Truetine of Hermes , or Animodar , of Ptolomy , I shall say little in this place , because it is sufficiently handled by almost all Authors , and what I have here to say is to Rectify a Nativity by Accidents ; which breifly is thus . First set your figure by the following Table of Houses for the Estimate Time , then observe the Accidents , whether Sickness , Honour , Loss , or what more you can get , but especially sickness , or croses , and if it be sickness , take the true pole of the giver of Life , with his Parallels if the ☉ , or ☽ , or ♁ , or else if it be the Ascendant the ob . Asc . under the pole of Birth , and observe the nature of the Promittor , and his Parallels , with the other Planets , whether he may give such a distemper or no , so that if you find your arch of direction to long , or to short , you are to raise or depress the pole of poshtion of your Significator , and by that means you will find the true time ; always observeing , that you must only direct the giver of Life , to the bad aspect of the Infortunes , for sickness , and no other , as thus , if the ☽ be giver of Life , the ☉ nor Asendant being directed to any bad aspects can not kill , or cause Diseases as shall be shewed in their proper places , for that hath been the senseless opinion of most of our Artists , to think that one may give Life , and another be directed to kill , which is the most irational thing in the World.

Secondly .

Of setting a Figure . Of setting a Figure , divers have been the Oppinions of our Modern Authors about this Point , but that which we allow of , is according to Ptolomy , ( whom our Modern Athors say , would have the Heavens to be devided into 12 equal parts in the Ecliptick ; as if the Asendant be ♈ 15 dg . the second must be ♉ 15 dg . and the 3d. ♊ 15 dg . &c. ) but those persons are extreamly mistaken , for Ptolomy never taught that Doctrine , but only they misinterpret his saying , for Ptlomy's System is the most demonstrable of any in the World , as shall be taught in another Work , wherein the falce imaginations of Copernieus and his followers , shall be as Clearly confuted , as Argol and Regiomontanus are in this ; but here I say , that the following Table of Houses , are the onely true extant , which I have Calculated for the Merridian of the famous City of London , and are far more exact , then those of Rogiomontanus , which he calls the Rational way , which we say is the most Irrational way , and without Reason ; now the use of these Tables follows ; suppose I would set a figure for the 25th of September , at 4h . 20m . p. m. ( or afternoon , ) in the Ephemeris against the day of the month , I find the ☉ s place to be in ♎ 12 dg. 30 m. at noon , with which I enter the Table of Houses with ☉ in ♎ , and under the 10th . House with 12 dg . or 13 , ( take which you will , ) because the minuts are 30 , you may add a deg. then take 13 dg . under the 10th . House , and in the Column toward the left hand , Right against the said 13 dg . you will find 12 h. 48 m. to which I add my 4 h. 20 m. and it makes 17 h. 8 m. with which I enter the Tables again , and under the title time from Noon , I look for my 17 h. 8 m. which I find Exactly , and in a Direct line , I have the Cusps of all the six Oriental Houses thus , The 10th . House is ♐ 18dg . 00m . The 11th . Hnuse is ♑ 05dg . 30m . The 12th . House is ♑ 25dg . 36m . The Asendant is ♒ 29dg . 58m . The Second is ♈ 28dg . 14m . The Third is ♉ 28dg . 08m .

The Opposite Houses have the Opposite Signs , Degrees , and Minutes , thus ;

Houses Opposite . 1. 7. Signes opposite . ♈ . ♎ . &c. 2. 8. ♉ . ♏ . 3. 9. ♊ . ♐ . 4. 10. ♋ . ♑ . 5. 11. ♌ . ♒ . 6. 12. ♍ . ♓ .

So that you see the first House is in Opposition to the 7th . the 2d . to the 8th . the 3d. to the 9th . &c. And also , that ♈ is in Opposition to ♎ , ♉ to ♏ and ♊ to ♐ &c.

And because this Table of Houses is only Calculated for the Lattiude of London , and serves for no place but under that Lat. I have here incerted a Table shewing the poles of the 11th . 12th . 2d , and 3d. Houses in all places , from 30 dg . to 60 dg . North or South Lat. presupposing them to be sufficient for all the Nativities , that can come into the hands of any of our Artists , which are as followeth .

TheTable. Asc . 11 & 3 12 & 2 dg . d. m. d. m. 31 11 25 21 58 32 11 52 22 47 33 12 19 23 35 34 12 48 24 24 35 13 17 25 13 36 13 48 26 4 37 14 17 26 55 38 14 49 27 46 39 15 20 28 38 40 15 52 29 32 41 16 25 30 25 42 16 59 31 22 43 17 36 32 16 44 18 13 33 13 45 18 50 34 11 46 19 28 35 9 47 20 7 36 8 48 20 49 37 8 49 21 33 38 10 50 22 17 39 11 51 23 4 40 16 52 23 51 41 20 53 24 40 42 26 54 25 34 43 32 55 26 29 44 41 56 27 25 45 51 57 28 24 47 0 58 29 26 48 13 59 30 30 49 26 60 31 39 50 42

The Vse of this Table .

In the first Column is the lat. of the place from 30 dg . to 60 dg . of lat. and right against it you have the poles of Example . the 11th . 3d. 12th . and 2d . Houses .

Example , if I would know the poles elevation of the 11th . 3d. 12th . and 2d . Houses for the lat. of 53dg . I enter with 53. under the Title of the Asc . and right against it I find under the 11th . and 3d. 24dg . 40m . which is the poles elevation , and under the 12th and 2d . I find 42dg . 26m . which is the poles elevation for the 12th . and 2d . Houses , and so of any other &c.

THis is a Table of the ☽ s lat. for every other degree of her distance , from the ☊ or ☋ , the Use is thus , to find the ☽ s lat. you are to substract the ☽ s place in Signs dg . and min. from the ☊ , or if the ☊ be in less Signs and dg . then the ☽ you must sub ☊ from ☽ , for it is one and the same thing ; but if you are minded to sub . the ☊ from the ☽ , and the ☽ be in fewer Signs and dg . then the ☊ , you are to add the Circle , that is 12 Signs , but use which you please , it is all one , and comes to the same thing ; and although this Table is made but to every other dg , yet we suppose the Work may be true enough , but those that please , may equate for every dg . but this we think to be as good as any Table whatsoever .

Example .

Example . IF the ☊ be in ♍ , 13dg . that is 5 Signs 13dg , and the ☽ in ♋ , 5dg . that is 3 Signs 5dg . now by sub . the ☽ from the ☊ ; there will remain 2 Signs 8dg ; with which I enter with 2 Signs at the top , and 8dg . in the left hand Collumn , and in the Angle of meeting I find 4dg . 38m . which is the ☽ s lat. and is South , because the ☽ last seperated from the ☋ ; but if it had last separated from the ☊ the lat. had been North ; this Method you must-always observe in the ☽ s Lattitude .

Next concerning the 12 Houses and their Significators .

Of the first House .

THis House hath signification of the true Description Of the Houses . of the Natives body , as to form and Stature , with the Temperature , and qualities of the Mind , it is called the first House , or East Angle , from whence is Judged the begining of every Enterprise it is the first Cardinal House , and hath for its Triplicity the 5th . and 9th . which behold each other by △ Aspect , in World ; where is made this Rational division , of the Houses ; from whenc the true mundane aspects do proceed , this is the first and chiefest aphetical place , for any of the givers of Life , to be placed in , it is in ⚹ to the 11th . and 3d. Houses and in □ to the 10ht . and 4th . so that when it is Directed to the body or opposition of any Planet , there the M. C. comes to the □ ; the Asc . is sometimes giver of Life in a Nativity , which when it is the evill Directions thereof to the Malificks , signifies great Sicknesses , and by being Directed to the Anaretta it signifies Death ; and this is to be observed only when the Asc . is giver of Life ; and not else , but we know it is and hath been the opinion of all our Modern Authors , to say that the ☉ or ☽ may be givers of Life , and the Asc . being directed to the bad Aspects of the maleficks denotes sickness , nay say they and most commonly Death , which is the most senseless argument in the World , to think that one should be giver of Life , and a nother to give Diseases and it may be a third to kill , which we canot a llow of , for whatsoever is giver of Life that same is most Certainly , to be directed for sickness and Death , but to this some will say we must not be too severe in Judging , upon the giver of Life , and that the Asc . being directed to a bad Aspect of the Infortunes , al though it be not giver of Life , yet it shall have Power to kill , this makes Ptolomy's Doctrin void , concerning the giver of Life , who saith no ill direction thereto shall kill if it be not giver of Life , and therefore there shall be but one certain giver of Life , which our late Authors cannot make , corrospond , which must make agreat confusion in Art ( which Ptolomy never taught ) they say likewise we are to respect the Principal giver of Life , ( and secondly the Ascen. ) and when either of them come to any bad direction it shall have power to kill , but we one the contrary say , that whosoever shall have powe of giveing Life , by his position shall keep and preserve the Life , by his force and strength , and no other shall be able to destroy it , viz. If the ☉ be giver of Life , whether the Asc . ☽ or part of ♁ shall have any power ( by being directed to bad Aspects ) to kill ; understand the same by the ☽ Asc . or ♁ when any of them are givers of Life ; therefore all Diseases in general or particular are taken from the giver of Life , and none else , as shall be further Examplyfied in its Proper place , some again will admit of several givers of Life , and say that those Nativites who have most givers of Life are the most fortunate , and receive the most power , for the prolonging of Life , but is contrary to sence or reason , for where there is more gives of life then one there is more evil directions of them , to the evil rayes of evil planets and so consequently more evil signified thereby for that Nativity must needs be of a more inferiour condition , and of a shorter life that shall have more givers of Life then one , sometimes they will direct the Asc . to ill Aspects to kill , when as the ☉ or ☽ being giver of Life are fortunately placed to which the direction properly belongs , but for a conclusion of this House Note that the Asc . is never to be directed but to those Aspects in the World , and not in the Zodiack . nor to parallels but to all those in the World , alwayes observing the Lat. in Mundane directions , neither can the Asc . or M. C. be directed to any Aspects conversly , I have been the larger upon this House , because by what hath been said here may be observed in the other Houses , however I will give an Epitomie of all in breife &c.

Houses , and in □ to the 11th . and 5th . Houses of indifferent good fortune when well beheld by good Planets or by their bodyly presence ; yet it is the place of an Anaretta , being in 8 to the 8th . House , for if ♄ , ♂ , or Lord of the 4th . or 8th . should be posited therein , and no Planet in the 4th . 6th . 8th or 12th . Houses , then the Planet in the 2d . 4th . 6th . 8th . and 12th Houses are alloted for the anarettical place of the Malificks .

An Explanation of the Tables , of Semidiurnal and Seminocturnal Arches .

THe use of the preceeding Tables are so easy , that they need but little explanation , yet nevertheless , I think it convenient to say somthing of them , to shew their use , and likewise how they are made ; so that if you should have occasion for any other Latitudes , than what is here incerted , you may make them your self , which is thus , if the Star or Planet have North or South Latititude you are to observe the Declination , which if it be under 10 dg . you may take it by Argols Primum Mobile , or Mr. Gadbury's Doctrine of Nativities , but if it be 10 dg . or upward of lat. you are to work by Trigonomitry , according to the Method of the Ingenious Mr. Coley , in his Clavis Astrologiae ; and having found the Declination under the Pole of the Place , you must observe that if the Declination fall in any of the 6 Northern Signs , add the difference of Ascention to 90 dg . and you have the semid . Arch , in deg. and min. but if you sub . the difference of the Ascention from 9 dg . you will have the seminoct● Arch ; but if the Declination should fall in any of the southern Signs , sub . the difference of Ascention from 90 dg . and you will have the semid . Arch. but if you add the difference of Ascention to 890 dg . you will have the seminoct . Arch ; which when you have obtained , if you divide it by six , you will have the hourly Times , or the length of the true Planetary Hours , and if you divide the se●●d . or seminoct . Arch by three you will have the true distance of one House ; and so by that Method obtain the true division of all the Houses according to Ptolomy ; 2 of which Parts makes a ⚹ , as may be seen by the Table of Mundane Aspects ; where is laid down all the Aspects , that are made in the World ; The finding of the semid . or seminoct . Arch , is thus , under the lat. of the place , you have the semid . Arches of all the Northern Signs , as ♈ , ♉ , ♊ , on the top of the Table , and for ♋ , ♌ , ♍ , in the Table ; now having obtained the semid , Arch , the seminoct Arch is obtained thus , by sub the semid . Arch from 12 hours , and the remainder is the seminoct . Arch , you have likewise the seminoct . Arches for all the Southern Signs , that is ♎ , ♏ , ♐ , on the top of the Table , and ♑ , ♒ , ♓ , on the bottom of the Table , and so when you have obtained the seminoct . Arch , take the complement thereof to 12 hours ; and you will have the semid . Arch , which is so easy ; that it need no further Example , the semid . or seminoct . Arches , may be easily converted either into hours and minutes , or degrees and minutes , by the Table for that purpose , which I need say no more of in this Place .

Next followeth some particular Genitures , that were taken by Argol and others , shewing what Errors they built their Judgment upon , and I will leave it to the Consideration of any Artist , that hath so much Sense as to know his right hand from the left , ( who is nearest the Truth ) &c.

Charles the 5th . of Austria , Emperour of Germany , His Nativity .

Latitude. ♄ 2 : 0 South ♃ 0 : 50 South ♂ 0 : 53 North ♀ 1 : 3 South . ☿ 3 : 0 North ☽ 2 : 4 South .

IN this Nativity , I will be somthing large ; by which other directions may be found , in the same manner ; First he was made Emperour at 19 years of Age ; at which time the ☽ comes to the 12th House , and ♀ to the second House , in which places ; the one beholds the M. C. with a ⚹ , and the other by a △ , and the ☽ in ⚹ to ♀ in the Zodiaek ; and to a Q. of ♀ in the world ; but that which was most material , was the ☉ to the parallel declination of ♃ , in about 25dg . of ♈ ; the ☉ s Arch of twilight is 29dg . 30m . which is 1h . 58m . by converting it , his seminoc . arch is 6h . 32m . from which sub . his arch of twilight , and there rests 4h . 34m . which is the ☉ s arch of obscurity ( because the ☉ is under the earth , and out of his parallel of twilight ) now the arch of twilight for 2●d . of ♈ , is 2d . 18m . the seminoc . arch of 25d . of ♈ is 5h . 9m . the Arch obscurity of 25dg . of ♈ , is ●h. 5 m. the distance of the ☉ from the 4th . House is 54d . 6m . then I say , if the ☉ s Arch of obscurity 4h . 34m . give his distance from the 4th . House 54dg . 16m . what distance shall 2h . 5 m. ( the Arch of obscurity of 25dg . of ♈ ) give , and it makes the secondary distance 34d . 22m . from which being substracted the primary distance of 25d . of ♈ , which is ●6d , 51m . which is taken by substracting the R. A. of 25d . of ♈ from the R. A. of the 4th . House , and there remains the arch of direction 17dg . 31m . which being equated is 19 years .

At 41 years of Age he met with great Losses at Sea , at which time the ☽ was directed to a mundane parallel of ♂ ; thus , the semidiurnal arch of ☽ is 52dg . 33m . and the semid . arch of the ☍ place of ♂ , is 62dg . 27m . those two being added together , makes 115 , which I put in the , 1st . place , and in the 2d . place I put 52dg . 33m . in the third place I put the distance of the ☍ of ♂ , and the ☽ , which is 4●dg . 25m . in R. A. ( for the ☍ place ♂ is in R. A. 232dg . 3m . and the R A of the ☽ is 27●dg . 28m . ) and the th . number is the ☽ s secondary distance from the M C. ●0dg , 45m . which sub . from her primary distance 57dg . 28m . leaves the arch of direction 3●dg . 43m . which being equated , points out 41 years ; he dyed at 58 years , and almost 7 months , on the 21 of September , at which time the ☽ being giver of Life , comes to the ☍ of ♄ , by converse direction ; ♄ s distance from the th . House is 5dg . 4 m. his R A is 45dg . 43m . the Pole of the 1 th . and 5th . Houses , is 2●dg . the seminoc . arch of ♄ is 6 dg. 37m . the 3d. part thereof is 23dg . 13m . ♄ s Pole is near 6dg . where in the ☍ place of ♄ in ob . asc . is 227dg . 21m . the ob . asc . of the ☽ under that Pole , is 280 dg , 19m . from which the ☍ place of ♄ being substracted , leaves the arch of direction 52dg . 58m . which being added to the R A of the ☉ , 345dg . 44m . makes 398dg . 42m . from which sub . the circle , and there rests 38dg . 42m . to which agrees ♉ 11d . 10m . to which place the ☉ from the day of the birth comes to in 58 dayes and 13 hours , which points out the true time of the direction , there was near opperating at that time , the ☽ to her own proper □ , both in the Zodiack and in the world , which are thus wrought : And first to her □ in the world , the seminoc . arch of the ☽ is 127dg . 27m . and distant from the asc . 4dg . ●2m . in the semidi . arch is 52dg , 33m . and from these comes the 4th . number , which is the secondary distance from the M C , which being sub . from the primary distance , there rests 55dg . 33m . for the arch of direction , the ☽ to her own □ in the Zodiack is thus , the ☽ s ob . asc . in the lat. of 52 dg . is 314dg . 52m . and in 6dg . of ♈ , the ☽ will have 4dg . 32 South lat. in which place her ob . asc . is 9dg . 52m . to which the circle being added , and ob . asc . of the ☽ substracted , there rests 55dg . for the Arch of Direction .

Phillip the 3d. King of Spain , his Nativity .

Phillip the 3d. King of Spain , Born , 1578. Aprill the 14th at 14h . 47m . P. M. Lat. 41 .

Declination. ♄ 23 : 15 ♃ 0 : 43 ♂ 18 : 17 ☉ 19 : 13 ♀ 9 : 40 ☿ 1 : 37 ☽ 23 : 40

THis King dyed at 42 Years , and 11 Months ; but he was first took ill of a Distemper , At 36 Years and 2 months of Age , which never left him till Death , which was almost 7 Years after , in this Nativity the Ascen. is the giver of Life , and at the time when he was first took ill , was directed to the body of ♀ , Lady of the 8th in ♈ , and in □ to ♄ , he having great dignities in the 8th . ♀ and ♄ are both of a nature , by being so near in aspect : there was also at that time , the ☽ to a sesquiquadrat of ♂ , near the ☋ in the Zodiack , and the ☽ likewise to the parallel of declination of ☿ , but the wound was chiefly given by ♀ , and continued by the rest , but did not Dye until the ascendant , which was giver of Life , was directed to a □ of ♄ ; the directions are as followeth : First the ascendant to the body of ♀ , the R A of ♀ with lat. is 26dg . ●●m . the seminoc . arch is 5 h. 26m . which converted is 81 dg. 30 m. which added to the R A of ♀ 〈◊〉 : ●2 . makes , 107dg . 52m . from which sub . the R A of the ●th . House 7●dg . 9m . and there rests 34dg . 43m . which being equated points out 36 Years , and 2 Months , as before , this might have been wrought by taking the ob . asc . of ♀ in the ascendant with her lat. and the arch would have been the same , but only to shew this way of direction . Next the ascen . to the □ of ♄ , the R. A. of the M. C. is 253dg . 9m . the R. A. of ♄ is 295dg . 23m . from which sub . the R. A. of the M. C. and there rests 4●dg . 41m . which being equated gives 43 Years , fere , at which time he dyed , this Disease is demonstrated by ♄ being in parallel declination of the ☽ , and in mundane parallel of ☿ , and ☿ in mundane parallel to ♂ , and likewise from th Zodiacal □ of ♄ to ♀ in ♈ ; you may here observe , that according to the Method of our modern Authors , the ascendant would have come to the □ of ♄ 20 Years sooner , if it had been directed in the Zodiack , as they teach ; but no rational Man upon consideration can think , that the space from the 1●th House to the second , can be any more than a sextile , it being but a 6th part of the Heavens , but those Innovations of Regiomontanus and Argol , have brought so much Error into the World , that it is hard to throw out again , to receive the true and genuine Principles of Art ; but I doubt not although this may seem strange at first to the Ingenious , yet after a little consideration , they will readyly agree with us , but those that will not , let them follow their old Erronious Way still .

Henry the 4th . King of France , His Nativity .

Henry the 4th . King of France , was Born 1553. December the 13th . at 14h . 13m . P. M. Lat. 48.

Latitudes. ♄ 1 : 55 South ♃ 1 : 26 North ♂ 0 : 8 South . ♀ 2 : 12. North. ☿ ☽ 5 : 0 South .

Declinations ♄ 9 : 13 ♃ 0 : 40. ♂ 22 : 42. ☉ 23 : 30. ♀ 17 : 12 : ☿ ☽ 5 : 16.

Note that the ☋ is in the 22d . 37m . of ♑ .

IN this Nativity the ☽ is giver of Life , by being placed upon the Cusp of the 7th . house , which power she cannot be denyed , except she had been elongated 3dg . I shall only observe two principal directions , the first was at 41 Years of Age he received a Wound on the Face , about the lower Jaw , at which time the ☽ was directed to a □ of ♄ in the World ; thus , the seminoct . Arch of the ☽ is 5h . 37m . her distance from the 7th . House 4dg . 15m . ♄ s seminoct . Arch is 6h . 41m . so I say , if 5h . 37m . gives 4dg . 15m , what shall 6h , 41m . give , Facit , 5dg . 3m . which 5dg . 3m . I add to the Primary distance of ♄ from the 4th . House , which is 37dg . 34m and the sum is 42dg . 37m . for the Arch of direction , which being Equated makes somthing above 40 Years , a little before the ☽ was in a Mundane Parallel of ♂ , by the Motion of the Primum Mobile , being come to be in equal distance from the 4th . house , thus , the seminoct . Arch of the ☽ is 5h . 37m . which I add to the seminoct . Arch of ♂ , which is 7h . 50m . the ☉ is 13h . 27m . then I say , if 13h . 27m . gives 5h . 37m . what shall 98d . 28m . give , which is the difference between the R. A. of ♂ , & the R. A. of ☽ , I find it makes 41dg . 7m . which is ☽ s Secondary dist. from the 4th . house , which I Sub. from her Primary distance 79dg . 53m . and it leaves 38dg . 46m . for the Arch of direction . Note , that all these directions , are best wrought by the Logistical Logar , Note that if your Number exceed 60. Take half , or if it be above 120 , take a 4th part , if you make use of a 4th . multiply what comes out by 4 , or if you take half , double what comes out . Example , In the last foregoing Operation , where I say if 13h . 27m . gives 5h . 37m . what shall 98dg . 28m . give , Logistical Example . Log. of 13h . 27m . comp. Arithmetick is 3506 The Logistical Log. of 5h . 37m . 10287 The Log. Logar of half 98dg . 28m . which is 49dg . 14m . 859 It makes 4652

which is the log . logar . of 20dg . 33m . which being doubled is 41dg . 6m . all directions may be worked thus with great ease and exactness , Next , this King died at 56 Years of Age. and a half , which was May the 14th . 1610. at which time the ☽ who is giver of Life , was directed to the □ of ♄ in the Zodiack ; thus , the opposite place of the ☽ s obl. asc . under the pole of Birth is 211dg . 25m . which being Sub. from the o●l . asc . of the Ascend . leaves 4dg . 15m . for her dist. from the west angle ; now to find the ☽ s pole of position I do thus , because she is between the 6th . and 7th . houses , I take her seminoct . Arch which is 5h . 37m . which being converted into dg . and m. is 84dg . 15m . this being divided by 3 , leaves 28dg . 5m . for the space of one house ; now if the pole of the 7th . is 48dg . the pole of the 6th . is 37dg . the difference is 11dg . then I say if 28dg . 5m . give 11dg . what shall 4dg . 15m . give , this work by log . logar , gives 1dg . 40m . which because it exceeds 30m . I take 2dg . which I sub . from the pole of the 7th . house 48dg . and there rests 46dg . for the ☽ s pole of position , under which pole , the obl. asc . of the opposite place of the ☽ , is 210dg . 59m . the obl. asc . of the opposite place of ♄ s Zodiacal □ in 11dg . 1m . of ♐ , with 3dg . 21m . of North Lat. which the ☽ will have when she comes to that place , is 270dg . 3 m. from whence sub . 210dg . 59m . the obl. asc . of ☽ s opposite place , and there rests 59dg 38m . for the Arch of direction , which being equated , poynts out 56 Years and a half , by converse Motion , or more properly by the Motion of the Primum Mobile , the ☽ and ♄ came to be of equal distance from the 4th house , which we call a Mundane Parallel ; the work is thus , the seminoct Arch of the ☽ is 5h , 37m , her R. A. is 5dg . 33m . her distance from the 4th . house is 79dg . 53m . ♄ s seminoct . Arch is 6h . 41m . his R. A. is 343dg . 14m . the difference betwen the R. A. of ♄ and the R. A. of the ☽ with the Circle is 4 dg. 19m . then I add the seminoct . Arches of ♄ and the ☽ together , and they make 12h . 18m . then I say , if 12h . 18m , give 5h , 37m , what shall 4●dg , 19m , give ( which is the difference of R. A. ) it makes 19dg . 19m . which I sub . from the ☽ s Primary distance 79dg . 53m . and there remains 60dg . 34m . for the Arch of of direction , the Reason : why he did not dye upon the Mundane □ of ♄ and Parallel of ♂ , was because by direct directions they fell near the Rayes of ♃ , and in his Terms , also in Parallel Declination of ♀ .

T●… Nativity was very unfortunate , by reason the ☽ who was giver of Life , was in Parallel declination of ♂ , and she being posited in the 9th . House , which shew great crosses in Voyages , which this King was never fortunate in , for in going to War in Africa , he was Wounded , of which he died upon the place at 24 Years of Age , 6 Months , and 11dayes . Argol in this Nativity hath laid the ☽ aside , as useless , to whom the dignity of giver of Life , doth properly belong , for according to his Method , he cannot make any direction of her to Kill , but directs the Ascend . to the □ of ♄ to kill , but by his Rules , by reason it falls in Signs of short Asc . it is Equivolent to a ⚹ . likewise the place where the direction fell , was in the Terms of ♀ and succeeded by her Antiscion , according to the common way , which are causes sufficient for the preserveing him , but as we have said in the discourse of the Houses , that neither the M. C. nor Ascend . are to be directed to any Aspect in the Zodiack , now in this Nativity the ☽ is most certainly giver of Life , and by direction comes to the 21dg . of ♍ , fere , where she hath 4dg . 21m . North Lat. and there she meets with a Parallel declination of ♄ , which is 7dg . 47m . the work is thus , the ☽ s declination is 16dg . 12m . to which in the Ecliptick corosponds 15dg . 40m . of ♌ , whose semid . Arch is 6h . 57m . the 3d. part thereof is 2h . 19m . which converted is 34dg . 45m . now the pole of the 9th . House , is 16dg . fere , the R. A. of the ☽ is 147dg . 29m . the difference between that and the M. C. is 11dg . 26m . now to find the ☽ s pole , I doe thus , if 34dg . 45m ( the 3d. part of the ☽ s semid . Arch , and the space of one House ) give 16dg . the pole of the 9th . House , what shall 11dg . 26m . give , which is the difference between R. A. of the ☽ , and the R. A. of the M. C. the Calculation is thus .

Example . the log . logar of 34dg . 45m . co : Ar. is 7628 the log . logar . of 16dg . the pole of the 9th house is 5740 the log . logar . of 11dg . 26m . the difference of R. A. is 7200 which added , gives the log . logar . of 5dg . 16m . 10568

which is the ☽ s pole of position ; Now because it is but 5dg . 16m . I only take 5de . but if the m. had exceeded 30 , I would have taken 6dg . now because the ☽ is in the descending part of Heaven , I take her opposite place under the pole of 5dg . likewise with her contrary Lat. where I find her obl. Asc . to be 328dg . 56m . obl. asc . of 21dg . of ♓ , with 4de 21m . South lat. is 354de . 9m . from which the obl. asc . of the ☽ being sub . leaves 25dg . 13m . for the Arch of direction , which being equated points out the true time of his Death ; when ♃ came to the 10th . house he was made King , but now some will object ( you say ) the ☽ was giver of Life , and ♄ was Annareta , pray why did not the ☽ to the ☍ of ♄ kill , to that I answer for Divers Reasons , first when the ☽ came to the ☍ of ♄ , she had great North lat. above 4dg . and ♄ had almost dg . South lat. so that when she came to the opposition , she was so far out of the rays of ♄ , by her lat. that there was not power to kill , nay scarcely to do any hurt ; secondly it fell in the terms of ♀ , thirdly it was succeeded by her Mundane △ ; more of this direction I have spoken , in the 9th . section foregoing ; where this is exactly explained , that the like may be performed upon any Nativity &c. Now in taking the secondary direction for the 24th . Year , I take 24days from the Birth and for 6 Months I take 12h . and for 11days I take 40m .

THis King dyed of a Wound at 37 Years and 10 Months old : In this Nativity the ☉ is Giver of Life , and by direct direction , is directed to the ☌ of ♃ , the □ of ♂ , and the ☍ of ♄ to kill , and all in the terms of ♂ ; now all these Directions fell in the Zodiack , the ☉ to the □ of ♂ , and ☍ of ♄ ; the Work is thus , the ob . Asc . of the ☉ under the Pole of Birth , is 313d . 15m . from which I sub the ob . asc . of the Ascen. and there remains 20d . 4●m . for the ☉ s primary distance ; now the ob . asc . of ●●d . of ♒ ( the place where the direction falls ) is 35●d . 21m . from which I sub . the ob . asc . of the ☉ , and there remains 37d . 6m . for the Arch of Direction , under the Pole of Birth ; but because the ☉ is under the Earth , and in the morning Twilight , I direct him in that parallel ; the work I will insert , but I have not inserted a table of Twilight for the lat. of 59dg . but in the following Nativity I will set down the Table ; so that by the working of this , and the following , you may be able to do the like in any Nativity ; for I have in this small Treatise , only inserted such Tables , as may be useful in all the Nativities , that may , be in the Dominions of great Brittain , France , or Ireland , but to shew the Work , which is thus , I enter the tables of Twilight , for the lat. of Birth , with the OS primary distance , and under 28 or 30dg . of ♐ , for in this case there need not so much exactness , because their difference is so small , for between 20 and 30dg . there is but 6m . difference , in the parallel of twilight ( as aforesaid ) I find 8dg . of depression , and against that parallel in a direct line I look for 25 of ♒ , and by takeing the proportional part , between 20 and 30dg . I find it to be 16dg . 33m . which is the secondary distance , which I substract from the primary distance , and there rests the East Distance , which is 4dg : 15m . now because the secondary distance is less than the primary , I add this east distance to the Arch of direction , ( but had the secondary distance been greater than the primary ) I had sustracted the east distance from the Arch of direction , but here being added to it , it makes 41dg . 21m . for the true Arch of direction , which being equated , points out the very time of his Death , ( viz. ) 7 Years 10 Months , then quickly after the ☉ was directed to the body of ♂ , by converse motion , which you may work by the foregoing Rules , the Pole of position of ♂ , is about 43dg . his ob . asc . there is 250dg . 40m . the ob . Asc . of ☉ is 291 , for in directing conversly take the Pole of the Promittor , and take the ob . Asc . of the Significator under that Pole , and by substracting the lesser from the greater , you have the Arch of Direction as in other Opperations .

THis Native Dyed at 52 Years , and 11 Months of Age , of a Dropsy , and the ☉ is most certainly giver of Life ; and Don Argol does not mind so much Reason , but very Learnedly directs the Ascend . to the △ of ♄ to Kill , truly a very learned peice of Art , and the reason is , because he is in Signs of long Asc . : Now Argolians plead this , and clear the matter , how your Patron can make his Argument good , truly in my opinion there isso little reason in his Words , that I think he did not understand how to Rectify , and direct a Nativity , or else instead of informing , he went about to Infatuate the Genius of all his Followers , but to the purpose ; If the △ of ♄ had power to Kill , why should it be a Dropsy , seeing the Aspect was made in ♊ . an airy Sign , and near the Bulls Eye , a Star of a hot fiery Nature ? and why do not such Aspects allwayes Kill , which I can produce several such directions , from several Nativities , and yet they have not been Mortal ? but in this , as I said before , the ☉ is most certainly giver of Life , who at the time of Death , is directed to a □ of ♂ , in the Zodiack , which fell in the beginning of ♋ , a watery Sign , and the Sign upon the 8th . being watery also , and the ☽ is upon the Cusp of the 6th . and ♃ is likewise afflicted ; all which considered according to Ptolomy's Doctrine , denotes weakness of the Lungs , and watery Disseases , and that the cause of the Death should be so , for the aforesaid Reasons , the manner of the direction which kil'd was thus , the ob . asc . of ☉ is 8dg . 28m . from which I sub . the ob : asc . of the Ascendant , and there rests 18dg : 43m : for ☉ s primary distance , the ob : asc : of ♋ 0dg : is 65dg : 10m : from which I sub : the ob : asc : of ☉ 8dg : 28m : and there remains 56dg : 42m : for the Arch of direction , now I enter the Tables of Twilight for 44dg : lat : where I look for 16dg : of ♈ , and in that place to find ☉ primary distance , and under 10dg : of ♈ I find 18dg : 32m : and that answers to the parallel of 13dg : and under 20dg : of ♈ I find 19dg : 1m : in the same parallel of 13dg : now because ☉ is in 16dg : I make proportion between 10dg : and 20dg : and I find the difference to be 29m : which for 6dg : give 17m : that being added to 18dg . 32m . makes 18dg . 49m . but the true distance is 18dg . 43m . which is to be rejected , and 18dg . 49m . to be taken . then in the same parallel of Twilight , I look for ♋ odg . and I find 24dg . 45m . which is ☉ s secondary distance ; from which I sub . the primary distance , and there rests 5dg . 56m . which is the east distance ; now because the secondary distance is greater than the primary , the east distance is to be sub . from the first Arch of direction , 56dg . 4m . and there remains 50dg . 46m . for the true Arch of direction , to be equated as in other directions , about the same time also , ☉ comes to a sesquiquadrate of ♄ in the World , by converse Motion .

THis Native dyed at 63 years of Age , wanting but 14 days ; at which time Argol directs ☉ to the Antiscion of ☿ , and ♄ to kill ; I commend Argol , for here he hath hit upon the true giver of Life ; and I suppose at unawars , but how he makes the ☉ come to the Antiscion of ☿ , and ♄ at that time , I do not know ; for by Argol's Account , ☿ s Antiscion should fall in 9d . 10m . of ♒ ; but considering ☿ hath almost 2d . north lat. I find his Antiscion will fall in 16d . of ♒ : Now let 's see who is in the Right , Argol , or my self ; the ☉ is in the 11th . House , the space of one House , is 22d . 12m . The Pole of the 11th . is 19d . the Pole of the 12th . is 34d . the difference , is 15d . the ob . asc . of the 11th . House , is 247d . 15m . the ob . asc . of the ☉ under that Pole , is 294d . 22m . from whence I sub . the ob . asc . of the 11th . House , and there remains 7d . 7m . for the ☉ s distance from the 11th : House ; then I say , if 22d : 12m : give 15d : what shall 7d : 7m : give , &c. A Synopsis of the Work.

Example . Log : logar of 22d : 12m co : Arith : is 5682 Log : logar of 15d : is 6021 Log : logar of 7d : 7m : is 9259 It makes the Log : logar of 4d : 8m : 10962.

So because I find it near 5d . I add 5d . to the Pole of the 11th . House , and that gives the Pole of the ☉ , to be 24d . his ob . asc . under that Pole is 256d . 44m . the ob . asc . of 16 of ♒ , under that Pole is 325. 51. from whence I sub . the ob . asc . of ☉ , and there remains 69d . 7m . for the Arch of Direction , which added to the R. A. of ☉ 246. 30. makes 315. 37. which in the Ecliptick answers to 13d . 8m . of ♒ ; to which place the ☉ comes in 63 days ; and this is the true way to equate for the Arch of Direction , in all your Operations ; likewise the ☉ at the same time was directed to his own proper □ in the World ; now according to Argol , it should have been above 5 years sooner ; so you may see Argol's Rule will not hold good , in so much as taking the Antiscions , and Note , that these Antiscions are the true Parallels of Declination , and when the giver of Life is directed thereto ; especially if it be to the Annaretta , it is always Fatal to the Native , and as bad as any Direction whatsoever ; but with the good it signifies good .

THis Native was made Cardinal at almost 21 Years of Age , at which Time ☉ was directed to the ⚹ of ♃ and ♀ in the Zodiack ; they being placed in the 9th . House : He dyed at 49 Years , and 11 Months of Age ; which was March 10th . 1621. This Nativity was taken by Argol , and he hath incerted it in his last Edition of Critical Days , Page 184 ; and considering there , what should be the Direction to ki●● ; 〈◊〉 imitates Don Quixot , in two Respects , first he kicks ♂ out of doors , not allowing him to be giver of Life , to whom that Dignity doth properly belong ; secondly he views the Ascen. which he could no ways bring to bear with any thing Material ; therefore he knocks ☽ out of her place , and puts her in a new , and so forges a Direction ; for he puts the ☽ in ♉ 25d . and so directs the Ascen. to her □ to kill , which he makes to come up at 50 Years of Age , and could find never another direction to kill ; truly a very learned Piece of Art ; but if you examine the ☽ s place , you will find it in 25d . 18m . of 11 , so that the □ will be but a ⚹ , but I suppose Argol was given to dream waking ; and would teach the World such Absurdities , and many of the giddy Multitude are so mad as to believe him ; but I hope in Time their eyes will be opened ; and as I said before , the ☉ is most certainly giver of Life , and the Direction which killed him , was ☉ to the mundane Parallel of ♄ , both direct and converse . 1st . the direct Direction is thus directed , the ☉ s semid . Arch is 6h . 27m . and his distance from the M. C. is 17d . 47m . the seminoct . Arch of ♄ , is 6h . 33m . his distance from the 4th . House , 30d . 6m . Then I say , if the semid . Arch of ☉ , gives his distance from the M. C. what shall the seminoct . Arch of ♄ give ; now I find it gives 18d . 3m . which added to the first distance of ♄ , from the 4th . House , viz. 30d . 6m . it makes 48d . 9m . for the Arch of Direction , which is to be equated , this was the Direction which killed ; and because I mentioned the converse Direction , I will shew the way of working it also , although that was over before this came up ; now the Converse is thus wrought ; first take ♄ s seminoct . Arch , then his distance from the 4th . House , and say , if his seminoct . Arch give his distance from the 4th . House , what shall the semid . Arch of ☉ give ; I find it gives , 29d . 38m . , which added to his distance from the M. C. 17d . 47m . it makes 47d . 25m . for the Arch of Direction ; I only mention this to shew the Method of Converse , as well as direct Directions ; but some will say , you make ♄ the killing Planet , pray why did not the ☉ to his 8 kill ; to which I answer , because ♄ had great lat. and was so far from the Ecliptick , that ☉ never touched the sharpness of that Aspect , therefore it could do no hurt , much less kill , which Method must be used in all Directions , whether the Significator and Promittor have the same lat. if not , it must be considered .

THis Native died at 25 Years of Age , compleat , of of an Apoplexy , and in the figure the ☉ is giver of Life , but Argol in this nativity thinks the ☉ is yet a sleep , and therefore lays him by , and being Minded to Dance the Antick , he directs the Ascen. to the □ of ♃ to Kill , now I would know what ♃ hath to doe to kill , in this Nativity , or if he had , why should it be an apoplexy ; but Argol never minded that , so as somthing stood but in the way it must kill , if it did but look one the Ascend . sure Argol if he had lived much longer , he would have packt so many killing Directions on the Ascend . that he would have made the World run lapsided , and so have had a Motion like his addle Brain , Now I think that neither Argol nor none of his followers , can give a Reason why the □ of ♃ here could kill , if there were such a direction of the Ascend . at that time , for as I have said elsewhere the Ascend . can never be directed to Aspects but in the World , well but here the ☉ is giver of Life , and at the time of Death is directed to the □ of ♂ in the Zodiack , and to the Mundane Parallel of ☿ in the Ascend . and in ♈ also , first for the □ of ♂ the ob . Asc . of the ☉ under the pole of Birth is 18dg . 52m . from which I sub . the ob . Asc . of the Ascend . and there remains 2dg . 33m . for the ☉ s primary distance , the ob . asc . of the □ of ♂ is 44dg . 27m . from which I sub . the ob asc . of . ☉ , and there remains 25dg . 45m . for the Arch of direction , now I enter the Tables of twilight , and work as before is taught , in the Nativity of the Duke of Parma , 2dly . the ☉ is directed to a Mundane Parallel of ☿ , by converse Motion , which falls in the 12th . House , above the Earth , the work is thus , the seminoct . Arch of ☿ is 5h . 3●m . and his distance in ob . asc . from the Ascend . is 9dg . 20m . and the semidi . Arch of ☉ is 6h . 45m . then I say , if ☿ s seminoct . Arch give , his distance 9dg . 20m . what shall the semid . Arch of ☉ give , I find it give 11dg . 20m . which is ☉ s secondary distance , this being added to his primary distance 12dg . 33m . makes 23d . 53m . for the Arch of direction , now that ☿ should have power to Kill is plain , by being in parallel declination of ♄ , and going to the parallel declination of ♂ , and in □ to ☽ , and in mundane parallel of ♄ , all which signify great Greif in the Head ; as the Apoplexy , and this the more certain , because he is in the Ascen. although it were not ♈ , he being so much afflicted , ☿ Ruling the animal Spirit .

THis Child when it was born , was very weakly , so that it was baptized so soon as it came into the World , but it passed over that very well , and Lived till it was almost 3 Years of Age , at which time , by playing near a small Stream of Water , fell in , and was Drowned , now the Query is , why this Childs Death should be by Drowning , and why it should live no longer , and what Direction it was that kil'd it , I have in this Treatise mentioned a new way of taking the ♁ , I say a new way , but it is the old way mentioned and practized by Ptolomy , himself , as it is a tested by those that have been among the Arabians , and Persians , who own Ptolomy's Works to be the only True , and that which is taught amongst us , to be nothing but a parcel of patched up Stuff , without sense or reason , as reason it self will testify : Now why this Child should dye by drowning , and why it should live no longer is plain ; for in this Nativity , neither the ☉ nor ☽ are givers of life , by reason they are not in any aphetical place , neither ( according to Ptolomy's Doctrine ) can the Ascend . be taken for giver of life , because the ♁ is in an aphetical place , therefore shall be accepted for giver of life ; which at the time of death is directed to the mundane □ of ♄ ; thus , the semid . Arch of ♁ , being converted is 66dg . 54m . the distance in R. A. of ♁ from the M. C. is 37dg . 55m . which substracted from the semid . Arch of ♁ , leaves 28dg . 59m . for ♁ s distance from the Ascendant ; ♄ s semid . Arch is 113dg . 45m . and his distance in R. A. from the M. C. is 46dg . 28m . then I say , if 66dg . 54m . give 28dg . 59m . what shall 113dg . 55m . give , I find by the log . logar . it gives 49dg , 17m . for ♄ s secondary distance , from the M. C. from which I substract the primary distance 6dg . 28m . and there rests 2dg : 49m : for the true Arch of direction : I only insert these Examples , this way to shew of direction ; this Natives death is plainly shewed to be by Water , by reason of ♄ s position in the 8th : in ♋ , and by the giver of life's being in parallel declination of ♄ in the 8th : and also of the ☽ .

HE was made Cardinal at 17 Years , and 3 Months ; he dyed at 52 Years , and 2 Months , of a Cattarh , and a great flux of humors , and Argol because he could see nothing of ☉ to kill , directs the Ascen. to the Antiscion of ♄ , when as the ☉ is wholly giver of Life , neither could the Antiscion of ♄ in ♑ give a flux of humors ; now according to our Method , the ☉ is directed to the □ of ♄ in the Zodiack ; thus , the ob . asc . of ☉ in the lat. of 44d . is 289d . 32m . the ob . asc . of the □ of ♄ in the beginning of ♓ , is 344d . 50m . from which sub . the. ob asc . of ☉ , and there rests 55d . 18m . for the Arch of direction , which is but the supposed Arch of Direction , because ☉ is in the Parallel of Twilight , therefore are those necessary Tables of Twilight Framed , which are incerted to the latter Part of this Piece , ( for the Convenience of the Artist ) by which may be performed , this , or any other Operation with the greatest exactness ; this Example may serve for all , yet I have shewed the way in two other Nativities in this Book ; the Manner of working is thus , first I sub . the oblique asc . of the Ascendant , from the ob . asc . of ☉ , and there remains 20d . 57. for ☉ s primary distance , which I seek in the Tables of Twilight , and by the nearest Proportion I find 13d . of depression in the Parallel of Twilight , and against it in a direct Line I find 20d . 14m . and under that Parallel in a direct Line , I look for ♓ 2d . the place of the □ of ♄ , which I seek in a direct Line from 13d . of depression , in the Parallel of Twilight , which I find to be 18d . 20m . which I sub . from the first distance found in the Table , viz. 20d . 14m . and there remains 1d . 54m . for the east distance , now because the secondary distance is less then the primary , I add this 1d . 54m . the east distance to the Arch of direction before found , and it is 57d . 12m . for the true arch of direction , which was succeeded by a □ of the ☽ , and she in ☍ of ♄ in the Nativity , which could shew no less than a flux of humors to kill , but if ☿ be found with the giver Life , by body or aspect , if he take upon him the Nature of a Malesick , he much helpeth forward a flux of humors , especially if it be the Nature of ♄ ; and this according to the doctrine of Ptolomy , he was made Cardinal upon ☉ s direction to the △ of ♃ , in the World , and the M. C. to the △ of ♀ , the M. C. is thus directed , the Pole of 3d. House is 33d . whose ob . asc . is 98d . 35m . the ob . asc . of ♀ under that Pole , is 318d . 3m . from whence I sub . the ob . asc . of the ●d . house 298d . 35. and there rests 19. 18m . for the arch of direction .

Now ☉ is directed to the △ of ♃ thus , the seminoct . arch of ☉ is 7h . 39m . his primary distance from the ascen . is 20d . 57m . the seminoct . arch of ♃ is 4h . 44m . Now because the △ is made from the 5th . House , I direct the 5th . House to the ☌ of ♃ , ( which observe ; ) the Pole of the 5th . House is 18d . the ob : desc : is ●8d : 35m : the ob : desc : of ♃ under that Pole , is 62d : 38m : from whence I sub : the ob : desc : of the 5th : House , 28d : 35m : and there rests 34d : 3m : for ♃ s primary distance ; then I say , if the seminoct ; arch ☉ of 7h : 39m : give his prim . distance , 20d : 57m : what shall 4h : 44m : ♃ s seminoct : arch give : I find it to be 12d : 58m : which is ♃ s secondary distance ; now because both distances are taken from the preceeding house , I sub ♃ s secondary distance from his primary distance 34d : 3m : and there rests 21d : 5m : for the arch of Direction :

Now if I would have the dg : of the Ecliptick that ☉ comes to by that arch , I proceed thus ; first I find the ☉ s Pole after this manner I find the 3d. part of his seminoct . arch , or the space of one house to be 58d : 15m : the difference between the Pole of the ascen : and 2d : house , to be 11d : then I say if the space of one house 38d : 1●m : give 11d : the difference between the asc : and the second house , what shall 20d . 57m : ☉ s primary distance give , I find it gives about 6d : which 6d : I sub from the Pole of Birth , 44d : and there remains 38d : for ☉ s Pole of position ; now under that Pole I find ☉ s ob : asc : to be 284d : 35m : to which I add the arch of direction 21d : 5m : and the Sum is 305d : 40m : which I seek in the pole of 38d : to which I find ♑ 15d : 20m : to corospond now in the Tables of Twilight under the pole of 44d : I seek for ☉ s prim . dist. 20d : 57m : and I find ☉ to be in the parallel of 13d : 28m : under which I take 15d : of ♑ , and there I find the ☉ s secondary distance , to be 20d . 46m : using the part proportional ; then by the Rule of Proportion I say , if the seminoct : arch of ☉ 7h : 39m : give , his secondary distance 20d : ●…m : what shall ♃ s seminoct : arch , 4● : 44m : give , I find it gives 1●d : 51m : for ♃ s secondary distance , which sub . from his primary , 34d . 3m : leaves 21d : 12m : for the true arch of direction , which being equated , points out the true time when he was made Cardinal , I have been the larger upon this , to shew the true use of the Tables of Twilight .

THis Nativity was rectified by Argol , who saith about 7 Years of Age this Native was sick almost to Death , and for that he directs the Ascend . to the □ of ♄ which could not possible signify any sickness , because the Ascend . is not giver of Life , for all sicknesses of what nature soever are signified by the giver of Life , by being directed to the bad Aspects of the Infortunes , now the direction that signified this sickness , was the ☉ who was giver of Life , by being directed to the body of the ☽ , by , converse Motion , thus , the ☽ s pole is about 16dg . her obl. asc . under pole is 352dg . 48m . which sub . from the obl. asc . of the ☉ with the Circle leaves 7dg . 19m . for the Arch of direction : for the ☽ is in □ of ♄ at Birth , and Evily placed , and the ☉ was likewise directed to the ssq. of ♄ in the World ; he was made Cardinal at ●6 Years of Age , at which time the ☉ is directed to the Q. of ♃ in the Zodiack the pole of the ☉ is 20dg . his obl. asc . under that pole is ●dg . 8m the. Q. of ♃ falls in 19dg . 41 of ♈ whose ob . asc , is 15dg , 20m , from whence sub , the obl , asc , of the ☉ and there remains 15dg , 12m , which being Equated falls at 16 Years ,

He dyed at 31 Years of Age , at which time Argol directs the ☽ to the body of ♂ , but that cannot be for the ☽ is not giver of Life , ( but any thing that stands in the way whither reason or no reason all 's one ) but as I said before the ☉ is giver of Life , and he is directed to the body of ♂ at the time of Death , thus , the Pole of the ☉ is 20dg the obl , asc , of ♂ under that pole is 27dg , 38m . from which I sub , the obl , asc , of the ☉ odg , 8m , and there remains 27d , 30m , for the arch of direction which aded to the R , A , of the ☉ makes 27d , 39m , which in the Ecliptick answers to ♈ 29d , 45m , to which place the ☉ comes , at 31 dayes fere and because ♂ hath some small North Lat , the ☌ was succeeded with the Parallel declination of ♂ also , which was so Fatal a direction , that nothing but a Miracle could Preserve ; by this you see that it is the giver of Life , only that is to be directed for sickness , and death , and none else as is well Explained elsewhere .

THis Nativity I incert , because it is one that all our Artists have reveiwed , and they make him to have ♓ 4dg . ascending , but I think I am able to prove this to be his true Nativity : He dyed at the Age of 79 years 5 weeks and 4 dayes ; and I have not met with any Artist , that could give a demonstrative Reason of the Direction that should Kill him , at that time ; the ☽ is most certainly giver of Life , who at the time of Death is directed to a mund. parallel of ♂ by converse motion , being carried about by the Primum Mobile , which way of direction I should have explained in the ●st . part , where I laid down the Rules for all manner of directions , from the Method of the learned Placidus , but when I did help to translate that , I did not rightly understand this , but after a more serious consideration , I came to find , that these directions are full as powerful as any , and to make my further Confirmation of it : I here following shew you an Example from the aforesaid Placidus , who hath most excellently layed down the Rules of Ptolomy , far before any Man in Europe , exactly agreeing 〈◊〉 the method of the Persians , Arabians , and most of the Eastern Learning , which have been compared by that Ingenious Mathematician , and my good friend Mr. Cordwell Worral , when he was in those Countries for some years together , but as I said before , the ☽ giver of Life , was directed to the mundane parallel of ♂ at the time death thus , the declination of the ☽ is 1● dg. 4 m. which in the Ecliptick , answers to about 2dg . of ♒ , whose semid . Arch is 4h . 6m . the declination of ♂ is 〈◊〉 dg . ●m . his semid . Arch is 6h . 4m . the two semid . Arches added together makes 10h . 46m . the R. A. of the ☽ is 28●d . ●0m . the R. A. of ♂ is 158d . 30m . the difference of the R. A. is 126d . 0m . then I say if 10h . 46m . gives 12●dg . what shall 4h . 6m . give , I find it gives 48d . 4m . the ☽ s primary distance from the M. C. is 32dg . 6m . which added together makes 80dg . 10m . for the Arch of direction , which added to the R. A. of ☉ 47dg . 36m . it makes 127dg . 46m . which in the Ecliptick points out ♌ 5dg . 26m . to which place the ☉ comes at 79 dayes , and a little above 2h . from the time of birth , now that ♂ should Kill is very plain ; for 1st . he is in aspect to ☿ Lord of the 4th . having dignities in the 8th . but the most material thing is ♂ s being in exact parallel declination of ♀ at birth , which made him of the same nature ; which must always be observed : For if at any time ♃ or ♀ should be in parallel declination with the Lord of the 8th . 4th . or 12th . that the giver of Life , by being directed to their bad Rayes , may as well Kill , as by being directed to them , themselves , and this will be a great light to the Art if duly observed , these Rules , I hope will make the Art of Astrology as demonstrable , as any part of the Mathematicks , and that in in a short time .

HEre is a Wonder for our Argolians to gaze at , that the Ascendant should pass the ☍ of ♄ , and not kill , when some of them can produce almost a hundred Nativities , and the Persons all dead , and not a quarter so much operating to kill , but it is almost impossible that such a Direction should kill , or do any hurt , because the Ascen. is not giver of Life , &c. He dyed at 45 Years , and 6 Months of age , at which time ☉ who is giver of Life , was directed to the mundane Parallel of ♂ , by converse Motion , being moved about by the Primum Mobile ; the Operation is thus , the ☉ s declination is 14d . 20m . to which aagrees 8d . 21m . of ♏ , whose semid . arch is 5h . 7m . the declination of ♂ is 2●d . 5m . which in the Ecliptick answers to ♐ ●d . 30m . the semid . arch thereof is 4h . 39m . the two arches being added , makes 9h . 46m . the R. A. of ☉ is 215d 58m . the R. A. of ♂ is 307d . 28m . the difference of R. A. is 91d . 30m . ☉ s primary dist. is 0d . 8m . now I say , if 9h . 4●m . give 91d . 30m . what shall 5h . 7m . give ?

Example . The Equation is made thus . The log . logar . of 9h . 46m . co : Ar. is 2116. The log . logar . half the 2d . num. viz: 45d. 45 : 1178. The log : logar : of 5h : 7m : is 10692. It gives the log : logar : of 23d : 58m . 3986.

Which because the second number was taken , but half I double , and it makes 47d . 56m . for ☉ s secondary dist: to which I add the primary dist. 0d : 8m : and it makes 48d 2m . for the arch of direction , which added to 215d : 58m : ☉ s R. A. makes 264d . 0m : to which in the Ecliptick answers ♐ 24d . 30m . to which place ☉ comes at 45 days & a half ; this Nativity I had Verbatim from the Works of that learned Monk Placidus , where whosoever reads shall find abundance of satisfaction .

THis Native dyed at 19 years and 6 months of Age , of a Consumption , this Nativity was given me by the Ingenious Mr. Coley , but he gave it me but 22dg . of ♋ ascending , but by rectification I find it to be as I have here incerted it , the Nativity according to our modern Authors , is one of the best that ever I see , but according to our method it is a very evil one , and yet I do beleive there is not one Artist in 40 can give any reason for his death at that time , or why he should dye of a Consumption , seeing the Ascend . is no ways afflicted , but befriended by the △ of ♃ , and by the ⚹ of both ☿ and ☽ , ☽ is in △ to ☿ and ⚹ to ♃ and ☉ in ⚹ to ♂ , and neither of them any way afflicted , so that some of our Artists would have insured this Natives Life for a small matter ; now I say if the Nativity had been but 22dg : of ♋ Ascending , he could not without a Miracle have lived a month , the Reason is this , the ☽ is giver of Life , which then would just have come to the parallel of ♂ , which in this was but just 3m . past , it was a bad Nativity for these reasons , the ☽ is in parallel of ♂ , and in sesquiquadrate of ♄ , he being Lord of the 8th : in the 6th : which did exactly shew the nature of his death , he heing in an earthy Sign , with the ☋ there also , so that had he lived longer , he would have alwayes been afflicted with martial and saturnine Distempers , for the afore-said reasons , and so alwayes sickly , and but of a short Life ; that ♂ should be anaretta is plain , for divers reasons , 1st . he is falling into the 4th . House , and is in ⚹ of ♄ , but the most material Argument , is his being in exact parallel of the ☽ at Birth ; the direction which kil'd , was the ☽ giver of Life , as I said before to the sesquiquadrat of ♂ in the world , I find the ☽ s Pole is about 30dg : under which Pole you may find according to our former rules , that the direction came up just at the time of death , I would have incerted the manner of the Calculations and Directions at large , but that I have laid it down in other Examples , that it were tautology to repeat it here ; I think no Argolian whatsoever can Cavil at this , by shewing a more demonstrable Direction , if he do , I will listen to him , but otherwise , if he cannot let him hold his tongue ? for I know it is more easie to Carp than Copy , but for Carpers I do not direct my Discourse unto , but for those Ingenious Artists that are not only willing to Learn , but also willing to promote Learning , without railing and approbrious Terms : This direction is wrought , by the same method with Saffold Lee's that kil'd him , and note that these directions are all mundane , and so the more powerful , for those aspects that are made in the world , are more powerful than those in the Zodiack , which hath never been observed all along , so that we have never had half the directions that belong to a Nativity , and so by that means they were forc't to make any thing to kill , allthough it did not belong to that place , which hath brought a great scandal , not only upon Artists , but the Art it self , which I suppose is as demonstrable as any other Science whatsoever ; for the Art it self is true , if truely practised , and I hope what is here done may be a means to stir up some more noble Pen , to perform what is here begun ; 't is true the Ingenious Author that gave me this Nativity , was somthing desirous to promote these things , or else I had scarce done it so soon , but as this find acceptance in the World , I shall be further incouraged to imploy my Studies , for their further satisfaction .

THis Childs Father , is a very Ingenious Person , and understands Astrology very well , who first set the Figure himself ; the Estimate was about 7m . later ; but here it is truly rectifyed . The God-father of this Child is an Artist likewise , from whence it had its Name , I suppose he had not given it His Name , but that he thought it would live to a great Age , but he was on the wrong side of the Hedge a great way , for the Child dyed at 17 weeks , of Age , of the Convultions ; now if there be any sceptical Critick that will oppose me , let him take up the Cudgels in this , and shew me a reason for this Childs short Life , and why it should dye of such a Distemper , I suppose they will say that is an easy thing to do , for say they , the ☽ to the Body of ♄ did that , to which I offer 2 Objections to the contrary ; first the ☽ is not giver of Life , therefore that direction could signify nothing ; secondly the ☽ hath much greater lat: then ♄ , so that being directed in her own Sphere ( where she ought to be ) she is past the Body of ♄ , when the direction comes up , so that she by that direction had no power to do the least hurt , for as I have said elsewhere , there can be but one giver of Life , and that must only be directed to the bad aspects of the Maleficks , both for sickness and Death ; but in this Childs Nativity , the Sun is most certainly giver of Life , who is so much afflicted , that without a Miracle it could not live , for first he is in exact mundane parallel of ♂ , in the 12th : House , which is full as bad as his ☍ , which is enough of it self to kill , but the direction which killed ( which also did exactly operate at the same time ) was the ☉ to the smq . of ♀ Lady of the 4th . House , she having great Dignities in the 8th . House , also the direction was made Converse , where it exactly met the Parallel of ♂ , as I said before , the ☉ s Pole is about 48d , his ob . asc , is 125 , 46. the ob . asc . of the smq . of ♀ is 125. 27 : which sub . from the ob . asc . of ☉ , because the direction was made converse , and there rests 19m , for the Arch of Direction , which if you Equate according to our Method , points out the exact time of Death , that it should be such a Disease is very plain , from ♀ her bare position by being in ♍ , and in the Terms of ♂ ; and here in this place I will shew how these semiquartils are taken , the same Method is to be observed in the ssq. Example , In this Nativity , the declination of ♀ is 1d , 8m . which in the Ecliptick answers to about 27d . of ♍ whose semid arch is 6h : 6m : with which I enter the Table of mundane Aspects , where I find the smq . to be 45d . 45m . under ☉ s pole 48d . I find the obl asc . of ♀ to be 17●d . 12m . from whence I sub . the smq . 45d . 45m . and there remains 125d . 27m . for the ob . asc . of the smq . these things are so easy , that a little Practise will quickly make an Ingenious Fancy Master of these Truths , which we hope after Ages may reap the benifit of , although in this ingrateful Age it is not regarded .

THis Nativity was taken by the Natives Father , who is my Frend , and a very Ingenious Man , who took great pains to find a reason , by the Argolian Precepts , for this Childs Death , for he dyed at 7 Years and 2 Months of Age , of the stone and also a Feaver , and I think few of our Artists can give any reason for his Death , now if there be any truth in Art , it is most certainly demonstrable , and if there be no truth in it , they are Folls that pretend to it , but I think , that what hath been said in this Book is sufficient to demonstrate the truth of the Art , and that this is the Real Method , which till this time hath never been discovered in England , but as I said , this Native dyed at 7 Years and 2Months old , and the ☽ is most certainly giver of Life who at the time of Death is directed to the ssq. of ♂ Lord of the 8th . House , the manner of the Operation is thus , the ☽ s semid . arch is 8h , 15m , the space of one house is 41dg ; 15m , the ☽ s distance from the M , C , in R , A , is 33dg , 50m , the pole of the 11th house 23dg , then I say if 41dg , 15m , give 23dg what shall 33dg , 50m , give , and I find it gives 18dg , 52m , for the ☽ s true pole of position , now because it is ne●… 9dg , I take , 19dg , under which pole the onl , asc , of the ☽ is ●03dg , the obl , asc , of ♂ under that pole is 245dg , their difference is 142 dg , from whence I sub , sque of ♂ 135dg ; and there remains 7d , for the arch of direction , also about that time the ☽ comes to a Mundane Parallel of ♂ , which made the Evil the greater , and without a Miracle the Native could not Live past such a Violent Direction , I the rather incert these Examples to inform the Artists ( of this Rational Demonstration of the Art ) then to make the Book swell , or to get to my self a Name , because I know I shall displease some foolish Criticks , but the Ingenious will be thankfull , that their Eyes may be opened , whome I wish all Health ,

THis Native dyed at 2Years and 8Months of Age of Convultions and Gripes , and I think no Argolian can give the least reason for its Death , at that time , unless they direct the ☽ to the □ of ♂ , which cannot Kill for the ☽ is not giver of Life , neither is ♂ annareta , but if he were the ☽ considering her Lat. is past the □ of ♂ , above a deg. at Birth therefore that direction can hold no Water to plead for them ; now according to Ptlolmy's Rule , the Asc . is giver of Life , which at the time of Death is directed to the □ of ♄ ; thus , the R. A. of the M. C. is 152dg . 6m . the R , A , of ♄ , is 154dg , 38m . from whence sub . the R , A , of the M , C , and there remains 2dg , 32m , for the arch of direction for when the M , C , came to his body then the ascen , came to his □ , and observe that the M , C , and ascen , are always directed to aspects in the World , and to none in the Zodiack , nor to any Converse : why this Childs distemper should be Convultions , Gripes , and Looseness , is plain from ♄ s position in ♍ , and by being in Parallel Declination of ♀ , and she being in ♏ very Evily placed which could signify no Less .

THis Native dyed at 2 Months old of Convulsions ; I took the Time exactly by a large Quadrant , now according to my own Judgment , and the Judgment of several other Artists , I could not find , but that this Child might have lived to a considerable Age , or at least , till the Ascen. was directed to the ☍ of ♂ , for I was of the conceited Method of Argol , to pack all upon the ascen . but since I came to be acquainted with the never failing Rules of Ptolomy , I find I was in the dark , and it is a Miracle that this Child should live , for the Ascen. could not be directed for Sickness nor Death , because ☉ is giver of Life , who at the time of Death is directed to the mundane parallel of ☿ Lord of the 4th . being both exactly distant from the Cusp of the 7th . House ; I shall forbear to incert the Calculation , because I have said so much elsewhere , viz. in the first Part , where the mundane Parallels are sufficiently demonstrated , the ☉ likewise is much afflicted , by being in smq . to ♂ Lord of the 8th . House , & in the 8th . and likewise in smq . of ♄ upon the Cusp of the 6th . House , and ♄ and ♂ are likewise in parallel Declination to one another , so that as I said before , the giver of Life being so much afflicted , without any assistance from the Fortunes , it was impossible according to Art , that the Native should pass over such violent possitions , &c.

THis Native dyed at 4 Years , and almost 6 Months of Age , of a Vomiting and Loosness , with a violent Feaver , which carryed her off , in less then two days I the rather incert this Nativity , because I know many of our Artists , nay all of them can give a Reason for this Childs Death , and that is , the ☽ to the ☌ of the ☉ which they will pretend shall kill , but that I deny ; first , the direction was not come up at the time of Death , and if it had , it could not kill , for neither the ☽ nor ☉ are givers of Life , and besides the Direction fell in the Terms of ♀ , nor can any one , shew me a President of this kind to kill ; now according to Ptolomy's Doctrine , the Ascen. is giver of Life , which at the time of Death is directed to the smq : of ♂ Lord of the 4th . House , he being in ♓ a watery Sign , must needs give a flux of Humors , with a Feaver , I suppose I need not incert the manner of the Direction , because I have said somthing of it elsewhere , and besides , I hope by this time , the Reader will be able to do the like upon any other of the like occasion , and so by a little Practise , amongst our Ingenious Professors , this most sublime Art of Astrology , will be practised in its true Method ; which Divinative Art is , and hath , been the most abused of any Art under the Celestial Canopy , by a parcel of bare pretenders , who perhaps may form a Scheam , but when they have done , know no more how to give Judgement , ( notwithstanding their Twenty one Years Experience ) then those who ask the Question , only they have got some of the innecessary Terms of Art , with which they tell a fair Story , the whole time stareing the Querent in the Face Austerely , and so deceive the World ; neither should it be exposed to such common Uses , as our Non-Artists about this City put it to ; and as I said before , notwithstanding their 21 Years Experience , in all that time have not learned 21 Grains of Sence , which may properly be referred to this ingenious Art , the understanding of which they so much pretend to ; yet this we must acknowledge , we are extraordinarily beholding to 3 or 4 of our Famous Country Men , who by their learned Volumns , have made known to the World , that which before they knew not , as that most Ingenious Piece of Art , entituled Mr. Coley's . Clavis , and that Laborious and incomparable , Mr. Gadbury's Doctrine of Nativities ; thus I conclude my twenty Genitures , with some Cautions worthy of Observation , by the Ingenious Astrologer , as well for the Judging of Horary Figures , as Nativities , which are as followeth .

Cautions worthy of Observation .

1st . NArrowly observe all the Aspects , as well those in the World , as those in the Zodiack , for many times a Zodiacal Aspect may promise good in the Business , when there may be a Mundane Aspect will frustrate the good promised by the other , and that is the Reason , our Artists so many times fail in their Judgment ; also Parallels in this case , are to be carefully heeded , whether they be Parallels of Declination , or in the World , for by those Parallels , many times the Planets assume other Natures , for ♀ or ♃ , by being in Parallel of ♄ or ♂ , may take their Nature so much , that they are wholly Infortunes ; these things being observed , I doubt not , but Astrology , will obtain as much Creddit , as now it doth reproach , which is not occasioned by the Art , but by the Artist ; for it had the Venerable Esteem of many Famous Persons , ( even in the first Age of the World ) if we may believe that Famous Antiquary , Josephus , and I doubt not but most of the Patriarcks were well acquainted with this kind of Learning , but we in this Age are so stupid , to think , that it is a thing by chance or lot , and not to be much relied upon , for say they , the Astrologer looks no farther than the Stars , and by their motions and aspects , he maketh a Judgment according to his own fancy , and he tells us a story of ♄ and ♂ being Infortunes , and of ♃ and ♀ being Fortunes , when the Stars are at that vast distance , that it is almost impossible we should feel any of their Influence .

To which I answer , when the Almighty had finished the Creation , he made Laws and Bounds to every part thereof , and the ☉ ☽ and Stars he made for Signs , for Seasons , for Days , and for Years . Gen. 1. 14. and then it follows , they were also to give light upon the Earth : Now by reason they were for Signs , consequently they must Signify something , and God in the 5 of Esa. 14. hath this sharp Sentence , Therefore my People are gone into Captivity , because they have no knowledge . and Solomon saith , the wise Man falleth forward , but the fool falleth backward , that is the wise Man ( according to Ptolomy's saying in his Cent. Apho. 5 ) fall , but he foresees it , and is prepared before it comes , but the Fool never regards it till it is upon him , and so is taken like a Bird in an evil Net ; now I would not be misunderstood in this place to tie a fatal necessity upon the Stars , knowing that he that made them , can counter-mand their Power , neither do I think , that the Stars in themselves have any Power to Act or do any thing , no more then the Body without the Soul ; for it is not from the Stars , that we have Coldness , Dryness , Pestilence , Famine , or Plenty , or any other thing either good or bad , and yet they are the Signs of all these Things , and in this I must forsake the Opinion of Placidus , whose Words are used in the first part of this Book , who saith , The Stars cannot be Signs of Effect , unless they be Causes also : but then you will say , how can that be , or from whence do the Causes proceed ? ( I answer ) from those Governing Angels which are as Watch-men , appointed to Execute the Will of the Almighty , and that there are Seaven of those Angels , ( according to the Number of the Planets or Erratick Stars ) is plain from Scripture , for in the 8 of the Rev. and the 2v . St. John saith , And I saw the Seaven Angels , which stood before the Presence of God , and to them was given Seaven Trumpets ; and when they came to Sound in their Order , some smote the Seas , another the Trees , and the other darkened the Sun , and every one as they Sounded , produced heavy Judgments among the Inhabitants of the Earth , and St. Paul in the 1 of Heb. and the 14 saith , Are they not all mimistring Spirits , sent forth to Minister for them who shall be Heirs of Salvation ; and if for ministring Spirits to the Godly , undoubtedly , they are likewise Scourges for the Wicked ; for when Balaam went about that unjust Exercise , the Angel stopt him by the way ; and when the rude Sodomites went groping about the Street , they knew not the Reason , but might well suppose it some giddyness of Brain , when it was the Angel that smote them with Blindness ; likewise when the Aegyptians first Born were all struck dead in one Night , the Astrologers would Judg some strange Configuration of the Planets , but it was done by an Angel : Had we seen those thousands of the Israelites fall so suddainly of the Plague , we should have been apt to attribute it to some suddain infection of the Air , but Holy David saw it was an Angel with His Sword drawn ; thus humane Reason is apt to ascribe Events to wrong Causes , attributing those things to an ordinary course of Nature , which the God of Nature doth by Supernatural Agents ; and that every Country , City , nay , and every particular Person , hath his or their , governing Angel is very plain , for who can think any other , but that the Great God looseth much Glory by our Ignorance ; for how can we give him the Honour due to his Name , while we conceive too narrowly of Him , and his Works : To know him as he is , is past the Capacity of our finite Understanding , we must have other Eyes to discern that incomprehensible Goodness ; but to see him in his Divine and Miraculous Works , is that whereof we should be inquisitive ; neither is there any thing in the World , that can so much import us ; for if we could conceive aright of this sensible and material World , it is enough to amaze the most enlightned Reason of Humanity .

For if this Globe of Earth , in regard of the immence Greatness , be accounted a World ? what shall we say of so many thousand Stars , which are for the most part so much bigger than the Earth ? how then I say can we but admire so many thousand Worlds of rouling Light , continually over our heads , made by the Omnipotent Power , and all regularly guided by the Infinite Providence of the great God , how slenderly must that Man think of the workmanship of the Almighty , that looks upon all these but as so many Torches set up in the Firmament , only so bigg as they seem ; and contrarily with what awful respects must he needs be carried to his Creator , that knows the vastness and perpetual motions of those Glorious Bodies , ruled and upheld by the mighty Word that made them .

Brute Creatures may behold these vissible things perhaps with sharper Eyes than us , but Spiritual Objects are so farr out of their reach , as if they had no being ; nearest therefore to Beasts , are those men , who suffer themselves to be led wholly by their Sences , as to beleive nothing but what is suggested by the purblind and unfaithful Informer ; let such men doubt whither they have a Soul in their Body or no , because their Eyes never saw it , or that there are any Stars in the Firmament at noon day , because they appear not , or that there is any Air wherein they breath , because nothing appears to them , but an Insensible Vacuity ; surely all that know they have Souls must of necessity beleive the rule and government of Angels , which they see not : If from no other grounds , yet out of that Anology , which they cannot but find between this lesser and the greater World , for as this little World Man , consists of an outward vissible Body , and an inward Spiritual Soul , which gives Life and Motion to that organical Frame , so possessing all parts , that it is wholly in all , and in each part wholly ; so must it be also in the great Universe , the sensible and material part whereof hath being and moving from those Spiritual Powers , both Supream and Subordinate , which dwell in it , and also fill and actuate it , therefore every rational Man looks about with no other Eyes than St. Paul's in 2. Cor. 4. 18. We look not at the things which are seen , but at the things which are not seen : for the things which are seen are temporal , but the things which are not seen are Eternal .

There is multiplicity enough of wonders in the visible World , but the spiritual and intelligable World , is that which is more worthy to take up our Hearts , both as we are Men indued with Reason , and also that the Infinite Goodness hath been pleased to enlighten our Eyes , to Contemplate on things above : So I shall conclude this Discourse with the words of St. Paul Rom. 1. 20. For the Invisible things of him from the Creation of the World , are clearly seen , being understood , by the things that are made , even his Eternal Power and God-head .

Thus Courteous Reader I have done what I thought fit at this time , and I hope have given that Light , which may serve to conduct any one thro' the darkest passage in the whole Doctrine of Astrology ; and I wish you as much Felicity in reading , as I have had in pening of it : I have had but little assistance in the composing of it , only I must acknowledg , I am engaged to the Ingenious Mr. Coley , for helping me to Placidus's Primum Mobile , from whence I took the Doctrine of Directions , that are incerted in the first Part , from page 86. to page 117. by the assistance of my Ingenious Friend Mr. Cordwell Worrall , but for the second part , I have done without any assistance , only the method of the Tables of Twilight , but I have quite altered them , and for the Tables of Aspects , and Semid . and Seminoct . Arches , with the Tables of Houses I have calculated de novo : and for my Discourse all along , if I have given offence to any person I am heartily sorry , assuring you I meant no harm , hoping you will make your favourable constructions from my good intentions , for what I have done , have been really for a faithful Information : Now to the only Wise Creator of Heaven and Earth , be all Praise ( whom I most humbly Implore , for a Blessing upon his most Sacred Majestie , and all the Royal Family , and my Countries Good in general ) which I shall ever desire whilst I am ,

John Bishop .

The Vse of these Tables of Twilight .

THe first Colume , on the left hand , is the Parallel of Twilight ; the Body of the Table shews the distance that the Sun must be from the Ascen. or 7th House , to make those Parallels ; so that when you use them the Work is thus , First , Take the Ob. asc . of the Ascen. under the Pole of the Birth , from whence substract the Obl. asc . of the Sun , so you have his primary distance , which seek in the Table in the nearest Degree the ☉ is in , and having found it , see in the Colume toward the left hand , and see what Parallel answers to it , and under the same Parallel take out the Arch of Twilight for the Promittor : Also see the Example of Gustavus Adolphus King of Sweden , and the Duke of Parma , which will sufficiently inform you in the Use .

The Vse of the following Tables .

IN the first Colume is the Semidiurnal , or Siminocturnal Arches , from 3 Hours , to 9 Hours , and is Calculated to every 6 Minutes ; now over against the Semidiurnal Arch , in a direct Line , is the space of the House , that that Seminocturnal or Diurnal Arches gives ; with all the Mundane Aspects , truly Calculated , to the very Degree and Minute , which is sometimes twice as much as at other times , and the reason is , because the Seminocturnal and Semidiurnal Arches are sometimes so much longer than at other times , &c.
