Speculum Aegrotorum. THE Sicke-mens' Glass: OR, A plain Jntroduction whereby one may give a true, and infallible judgement, of the life or death of a sick body, the original cause of the grief, how he is tormented and afflicted, what things are medicinable to the diseased person: and the day and hour in which he shall recover, or surrender his vital breath.  
Whereunto is annexed a treatise of the four humours, and how they are engendered and distributed in our human bodies: with certain and manifest signs to discern of what complexion any man is: and the operation that eating, drinking rest and exercise, worketh in every person: with certain special preservatives for the eyesight.  
Composed by john Fage, Student in Physic, and practitioner in Astrology.  
LONDON Printed for William Lugger, and are to be sold at his Shop upon Holborne-bridge. 1606.   

To the worthy and renowned Company of Students and professors of the excellent science of Physic, john Fage wisheth health.  
Judicious Doctors and professors of the famous and laudable science of Physic( in token of the inestimable love & good will I bear to this worthy faculty) I have unto you( as the chief patrons thereof,) committed this little Glass of sick men: wherein you may behold the state and condition of the diseased person( so truly and infallibly, as the Art of Astrology can certify) being aswell correspondent and agreeable to the sayings of ancient and approved Authors, as by experience and daily observations verified, whereof I myself have made sufficient trial( as many of my familiar friends and associates can testify) insomuch that he which compareth these documents with the judicials of urine, shall thereby not only decern and perceive the true cause of the disease, but also the augmentation, relaxation, continuance and alteration thereof to good or evil( both to the praise and estimation of the art, & also the credit & profit of the expert Physician) assuring you that herein is nothing written, but only that which hath been taken out of the grounds of Astrology, and agreeable to the sentences of the most excellentest Physicians. And although peradventure this method and manner of judgement doth seem hard and difficile to some men at the first appearance, yet let no man be discouraged, for with a little reading and perusing, it will soon appear both plain & easy, which being once obtained, the commodity thereof will be very delectable and profitable. And so to conclude, if this my labour be acceptable to your learned ears, it will encourage me( to endeavour to the utermost of my power) both to examplefy this introduction, and also to supply you with another treatise which shall fully and largely detect and lay open this manner of judicials: so in the mean time I commit you( and your industrious actions) to the protection of the Almighty. At Midhurst this 24. of April. 1606. * ⁎ *   

To the Reader.  
Leaving thee divers and sundry opinions of many Authors( with their mistaken axioms and unaprooved sayings) as well as the rash boldness and presumptuous judgements of those ignorant persons which either by the day of the month, the age of the Moon, or Planet, then reigning, only do give judgement on the life or death of a sick person, or of the manner of his disease: which by their erroneous opinions have brought this famous art into such and so great contempt, that of the most part of men, it is supposed to be rather a recreative invention, than any true and unfeigned asscertion. I have( Gentle Reader) by the help of those two excellent Astonomers, Ptholomeus and Hermes, nourished and brought up this prole or issue, which although it be yet young, naked, weak, and tender, yet I hope in consequence of time( when it is come to ripeness of age, well clothed and to his full strength) that it will be able to stop the mouth of this hideous monster ignorance, which with his violent sting and venomous biting, seeketh utterly to destroy science and learning, according to the old proverb scientia non habet inimicum nisi ignoranciam: So committing this little one into thy favourable protection, I hope thou wilt rather charitably, foster it in the lap of pity: then tyranically and cruelly to destroy it in his infancy.  
Yours to the uttermost of his power. john Fage

Of the significator of the sick body.  
IT hath been an order and a custom( amongst the most excellentest and wisest Physicians) to choose the Moon for the principal significatrix of the sick person, and according unto her motion, situation, and configuration( with other Planets) have given judgement on the increasing, mitigation, and alteration of the disease.  
For Hypocrates( in principio Prognosticorum) speaketh of the Moon, and saith in this manner. There is a certain Star of heaven on which a Physician must take heed and mark, the purveyance thereof is wonderful and dreadful. Also Galen( in commento de diebus criticis) saith: a Physician must take heed & advise himself of a certain thing that faileth not, neither deceiveth,( which the Astronomers of Egypt taught) that is to say, when the body of the Moon is joined with fortunate stars, dreadful and fearful sickness cometh to good end. Likewise Astronomers say, that among all the other planets the Moon( in ruling) hath most power and mastery of men's bodies: for as Ptolomeus saith ( in Libro de judicijs Astrorum) under the Moon is contained, sickness, loss, fear, harm, and damage: therefore about the alteration of man's body, the Moon worketh most principally: and not with out good cause, for as Astronomers affirm, she hath dominion and goernment of all liquid & moist substances, as the water, oil, & sap of trees, etc., As the thrice learned Clark Doctor Dee, in the 103. Apkorisme of his Book entitled Libro de quibusdam naturae virtutibus saith thus Luna potentissima est humidarum rerum moderatrix, humidatisque excicatrix & effectrix. So we may no less assure ourselves that she hath superiority and predomination on the fours humours, Choler, Blood, Fleame and Melancholy, which in substance are nought else but humedious and vaporative, although they differ in quality Then as Physicians do hold the opinion that all the infirmities which naturally happen to any person( and not by any mischance orsodaine accident) doth proceed and come by the distemperance of those four Humours; so we may very well conclude, that if the superficies or head of a Fountain, doth alter his accustomarie course of running, than the adjacientical or belonging streams must needs differ either in quality or in quantity. So likewise the Moon being pasiva qualitatis collecteth and retaineth the good or evil influence of that planet to whom she is adjoined or applieth: as Hermes saith( in his jatromethematikes) Luna vero stellae( sine benifica sive malifica fuerit) utri se applicuerit, illi suffragabiter. And because her orb is nearest unto the earth, sendeth us the virtue and impression of the other Planets: and so causeth the mutability and alteration of men's bodies, to good or evil, according to the nature of that Planet with whom she is adjoined or configurated, and the part of the Zodiac wherein she is situated: For the expert Physician must observe and mark how she passeth through the 12. signs, and thereof shall understand much of the alteration of the disease, by a certain difference and distance of part of the Zodiac from the degree the Moon was in, at the instant when the sick person was first bedrid, or took his bed, and when the Moon cometh thereunto, that day they shall call critical, judicial or mortal according to the space or distance it differeth from the degree of the Zodiac that the Moon possessed when the party took his bed: which some men( deceiving themselves) have reckoned and numbered always by a certain difference of days, from the time the party fell sick, calling the second and fifth, mortal days, the fourth a judicial or showing day, and the 7. and 14. critical days, or such like: which is an open and manifest error, for seeing the Moon( having an unequal motion) cometh sometimes to the afore said parts of the Zodiac a day sooner and othertimes a day later: it is unpossible( for he that accounteth by an even number of days) to find out the true Critical, Mortal, or judicial days▪ therefore for the better avoiding of this apparent error, I have heers● 〈◊〉 annexeda very necessary Table, plainly expressing those aforesaid times, as followeth.

The use of this Table.  
FOr every sign and degree the Moon is in, there is 16. columbes in the table( caractered with their proper figures of algorithm, with these letters S. and D. signifying signs & degrees) in which the mortal, judicial and critical days, doth happen in: being noted at the head of the Table thus: Mort: Days, judic: days & Critic: days. The use of this Table is thus: The day and hour known in which the sick person took his Bed, you must search the sign and the degree the Moon is in( which being found) entering into the Table( in the uttermost column on the left hand) entitled the party falling sick,( under the character of Luna) you shall find against the sign and degree the Moon is in, all the Critical, judicial, and Mortal days in their proper Columbes( noted at the head of the Table) during the space of time, the Moon passeth through the whole Zodiac or signifier, to which aforesaid places, when she cometh( during the continuance of the sickness) then shall be the true Critical, judicial and Mortal days, as you shall see them superscribed at the head of the Columbe.  

An example.  
The first day of May 1605. A certaine man sickened and took his bed, at 6. of the clock in the afternoon, the Moon being then in the 12. degr. of Pisces, now I desire to know the Critical, judicial and Mortal days( of that person) then entering into the Table in the uttermost column on the left hand, under the character of the moon in Pisces, over against the 12. deg. in the nextcolumbe, I find the 7. degree of Aries, to which when the Moon cometh is a mortal day: & in the third column, I find the 27. degree of Aries, to which part of the Zodiac when the Moon cometh, is a judicial day In the fourth column, I find the 22. degree of Taurus, which is a mortal time, and in the fifth column, I find the 12. of Gemini, to which place when the Moon cometh, that is a Critical day, & so of the rest until the Moon hath perambulated through the whole Zodiac, & if the diseases cease not in the mean while, after you have gone through the 16. Columbes, you must begin again as you did before: Note that the time the person taketh his bed, is the first critical time.    

Of the Aspects of the Moon with the Planets.  
IF you desire to know with what Planets the Moon is configurated or adjoined, you must learn what day and hour the sick body first took his bed, or lay down by means of the rage of the disease: except the sickness came to him at that time, when he was already in his bed for then you shall observe the time in which the disease began to torment him: which being exactly known, you must calculate the motion of the Moon for the time the person fell sick, considering that she is joined and applieth unto a Planet, two manner of ways, that is to say either corporally, or by the aspect of the Semidiameters of their bodies called application.  
Corporal Conjunction is when the Moon is in the same sign and degree another Planet is, but the Moon is said to be radiationally joined to a Planet, when her body toucheth his Semidiameter.  
Likewise the Moon is aspected and beheld of a Planet two manner of ways.  
The one is called a perfect aspect as when there is 60 degrees between the centure of the Moon and another Planet, that is said to be a true Sextile aspect.  
Or when the body of the Moon is distant from another Planet 90. degrees, is called a perfect Quartile aspect.  
Or when the Moon is elonged just 120 degrees from another Planet, the Moon is said to behold that Planet, with a 〈◊〉 Trine aspect. And if the centure of the moon be distant 180 〈◊〉 from the body of another Planet, that is named a perfect Opposition.  
The other is an unperfect aspect called application, as when a Planet is certain degrees different from a true aspect, only 〈◊〉 in the Semidiameter of his body.  
The Semidiameter or half the beams of ♄ ♃ ♂ ☉ ♀ ☿ ☽ Degrees. 9 9 8. 15. 8. 7. 12.  
So that Saturn and jupiter extend their forces but to 9 degrees Mars unto 8. Sol unto 15. Venus and Mercury almost unto 8. Luna unto 12. for if the body of the Moon or her aspect cometh within the Semidiameter of any Planet, she taketh or receiveth the influence of that Planet( good or evil) to whom she is so joined or applieth.  

Example.  
Suppose the Moon be in the fourth degree of Aquarius, and Saturn, in the 11. degree of the said sign, then should the Moon apply to Saturn, for as much as her body is within the Semidiameter of his beams. Or if the moon were in the 10. degree of Taurus and Mars, in the 16. degree of Leo, than she should behold Mars with a Quartile aspect.  
But if the Moon were in the 20. degree of Capricornus and Saturn in the 8. degree of Libra, then should the Moon be free from the Quartile of Saturn, for because his maliciousness extendeth no farther than the semidiameter of his beams( which is but 9 degr.) and their distance from a true aspect is 12. degr. yet notwithstanding the ill fortunes doth afflict the sick person, when they adjoin or aspect the beams of the Moon, with their Semidiameter( but not intercidentically) for the farther the Moon is from their conjunction or aspect, the less they torment the diseased: and contrarily the fortunes ( jupiter and Venus) the nearer their bodies or Aspect approacheth to the moon, the more they intermeddle their virtues, and the sooner mitigateth the sick man's pains.  
Note that of the Aspects the Quartile and Opposition are haiefull and malevolous Aspects, especially the Opposition.  
And the Sextile and Trine aspects are favourable and friendly aspects, chiefly the Trine.  
The Conjunction is variable, for it is very good with good Planets, and extreme evil with ill.  
Also sometimes it shall be necessary to know the latitude of the Planets.    

To know whether the sick person shall live or die.  
IF the moon( at the day and hour the sick took first his bed,) be free from the Conjunction, Quartile, or Opposition aspect of Saturn and Mars, the diseased person shall not depart by means of that sickness( especially if jupiter or Venus regard the Moon with Conjunction, Sextile, or Trine aspects) for then the sick shall soon recover his health, and so much the rather if the Moon be free from combustion, and augmenting in light and motion. Also the head of the Dragon is of the nature of the fortunes ( jupiter & Venus) but not so effectual in operation.  
But contrariwise, if the Moon be afflicted either by the Conjunction, Quartile or Opposition of the ill fortunes ( Saturn & Mars) the sick shall die, chiefly if jupiter or Venus do not assist the moon, or if she be combust and decreasing in light and motion.  
Also the Dragon's tail is of the nature of the ill fortunes, but of himself hath not the interficient force of Saturn or Mars, for as much as it is a line and not a Star.  
Likewise if the moon be in the via combusta, which is from the midst of Libra until the midst of Scorpio, or under the Sun beams and decreasing in light or motion, and applying to Saturn and Mars, either by conjunction or any aspect( chiefly by Quartile or Opposition aspect, although their semidiameters only behold the semibeames of the moon) it threateneth death.  

An example.  
A certain man fell sick and took his bed, the mooone being three degrees in Scorpio( decreasing in light and motion) Mars 13. degrees in Libra, and Saturn 27. degrees in Sagitarius, and departed when the moon came to the 13. degrees of Capricornus.    

To know the times in which the sick person shall feel ease of his pain, or recover his health.  
Having found by the Doctrine aforesaid, that the sick person shall not depart, then as often as the moon meeteth with●●● body or aspect of the fortunes, ( jupiter or Venus) during the 〈◊〉 of the disease, at that instant the sick person shall be 〈…〉 eased of his dolorous pains: the ill fortunes the contrary, 〈…〉 first obuiating or meeting of Luna with jupiter or Venus( 〈◊〉 a Critical, judicial, or Mortal day) the diseased person shall beg●● to recover his health.  

An example.  
Anno Dom. 1605. the 28. of May( about 7. of the 〈…〉 the forenoon) a certain friend of mine fell sick in his Bed: th●… Moon being then in the 2. degr. of Pisc●s( decreasing) Mars 18. degrees in Gemini, Saturn. 23. degrees in Sagitarius, jupiter 26. in Capricornus, and Venus 4. degrees in Gemini: Now for as much as I find the Moon to be free from the interficient force of the ill fortunes, I judge the sick shall not depart: yet he was grievously tormented and afflicted, for because the hateful beams of Mars his Quartile aspect, was within the semidiameter of the Moon, & none of the fortunes did intermeddle their favourable beams. And when the Moon came to the 19 deg. of Pisces( meeting the Opposition of furious Mars) he had a great and mighty fit of sickness, almost absolutely depriving sense and motion. Also he was sorely tormented when the Moon came to the 24. degree of Pisces, because she then beheld Saturn with a spiteful Quartile aspect, after that he began to amend, forasmuch as that was a mortal day, and jupiter environed the Moon with a friendly Sextile aspect.    

To know when and what time the sick Person shall depart and be grievously tormented.  
NOW if you find by the affliction of the Moon at the time the party fell sick, that he shall die, then on the next mortal day that the Moon meeteth with either of the ill fortunes Saturn or Mars, by conjunction, Quartile, or Opposition( applying to them either corporally or radiationally) the sick shall die at that day & hours in which she cometh to the interficient point of the Zodiac: which agreeth to the saying of Ptholomeus in the 16. Aphorism of his Centiloquiums wherein he saith we must behold the motion of the Moon as she passeth through the Critical, judicial, and Mortal days, for if she be in them fortunate, it will fall out well: unfortunate, the contrary.  

An example.  
The 17. day of May ( Anno Dom. 1605.) A man fell sick about a 〈◊〉. of the clock at night, the Moon being then in the 2. degree of Libra, Sol in the 6. degree of Gemini, Saturn in the 24. deg. of Sagitarius, jupiter in the 27. degree of Capricornus, Mars in the 10. degree of Gemini, and Venus in the 22. degree of Taurus: Now I 〈◊〉 the Moon afflicted by the hateful Quartile aspect of Saturn, being situated within the malevolous beams of the semidiameter of froward Saturn, whereby I judge that the sick shall depa●t: then entering into the Table of Critical. judicial and Mortal days, I find the first mortal day to be when the Moon cometh to the 27. deg. of the said sign of Libra, yet for as much as that degree is free from the oppression of the ill fortunes, I affirm that the sick shall not die at that time the Moon cometh to the said sign and degree: Therefore I seek the next dying day, which is when the moon cometh to the 12. degree of Sagitarius, which being afflicted by the Opposition of Mars, collocated in the 14. degree of Gemini, I judge he shall die when the Moon cometh to the 12. degree of Sagitarius: and so he did.  
Note that during the time and permanence of the sickness, as often as the Moon meeteth the bodies or ill aspects of the distroyers of nature, so often the diseased person shall feel and sustain very sore pangs.  
Furthermore, some Astronomers affirm, that as long as the Moon decreaseth in motion, so long the grief shall aggravate, and wax greater and greater.  
But Hippocrates( in Libro de judicijs infirmitat: secundum lunam) saith thus, when the sick person taketh his bed you must consider whether the moon departeth out of combustion, for then the sickness shall increase until Luna cometh to Opposition, by reason that humours increase in men's bodies: and if she be then with good Planets, it falleth out well: with evil, the contrary.    

Of the cause of the disease.  
TO know the cause of the disease, you must look with what Planet the moon is configurated or adjoined either by conjunction or aspect, and according to the nature and influence of that planet, judge the disease that afflicted the moon.  
The conjunction or any aspect of the ill fortunes doth afflict the Moon, and the Quartile, and Opposition of Sol and Mercury. Now if Sa●●rne or Mercury oppress the Moon, the disease shallbe slow and slack, with lassitude and heaviness of the limbs: insomuch that the sick shall scarce be able to stir his body, and the disease shall show itself by little and little, by coldness of the body, with defluction, debility, and obstruction: causing the sick to awake out of his sleep suddenly or by starts. etc.  
The sick person( also as Hermes saith) shall be solitary, silent, and fearful, desiring heat, warm clothes, and darkness, with often sighing, and continual oscitation and yawning: the whole superficies of the body will be cold and dry, and the pulses little and slow. The cure of such, is by things that dissolve and bind.  
But if the Moon( at that time the person fell sick) be afflicted by Mars or the Sun, all the superficies and upper parts of the body shall be in extreme heat as if they were incensed and kindled with fire. The party shall be very prone and apt to anger, crying-out with scritches and fierce looks, sometimes inordinately with raving and frantic fits: as when choler ravisheth up into the head, perturbating the brain with violent heat etc.  
Also they are very dry & thirsty, desiring cold drink, with spitting and aridity & dryness of the tongue, with loss of appetite, and desire of meat: continually saporing and tasting with the tongue: The visage and face as red as fire, and all the body loaden with superfluity; the pulses are little, pressed down and inordinate. Blood-letting until the fifth day, and such things as are refrigerative, repercussive, and avoid superfluity, are medicinable to the sick person.  
Likewise Hermes saith, that they in whose decumbiture the moon was afflicted, of Sol or Mars, shall feel loathsomeness in the mouth and stomach, with pain in the heart, veins and arteries. But continuall-feavers, Pleurisies, Exulceration, and inflammation of the Lungs, take their original of Saturn and Mercury, afflicting the Moon in fiery signs.  
The fortunes ( Saturn and Venus) in my opinion do never vex and torment the sick body, although they behold the Moon with hateful aspects, or at the least wise, never in such sort that they cause the sick to take his bed: for seeing that they are adjutors and restorers of nature, it is unlikely that they should become enemies & destroyers thereof, although sometimes by accidents( as by hateful aspect) their friendship and familiarity is refrained.   

Of the effects that the Moon operateth and worketh in every sign when she is afflicted by the ill fortunes.  

☽. in ♈. of ♄. oppressed.  
Whosoever taketh his bed, the moon being in the sign of Aries( chiefly decreasing in light and motion) and applying to Saturn or Mars( especially by Conjunction, Quartile or Opposition) the disease shall take his original and beginning of a cold cause, with heaviness of the head, and debillation and weakness of the eyes, with distillation and falling down of humours into the breast, by means of a rumeticke head, & stuffing of the throat and pipes with phlegm and catarrh: The vehemency & rage of the grief shall chiefly extend itself by night, all the entrails and inward parts shall be exceeding hot, but the superficies and extreme par●es shall shiner with cold, with languishing and sounding, and loss of appetite, and sweeting in the dead of the night: the Pulses are weak and inordinate. Things that heat, mollify, and lose the belly, do cepresse the cause of the grief, but blood letting is unprofitable.  
And if the moon apply to none of the fortunes, but is within the Semediameter of the body of Saturn or Mars, or their ill aspects, then on the next mortal day, in which the moon meeteth with Saturn or Mars, the sick shall depart: but if the moon be not within the beams of Saturn and Mars, nor their malicious aspects( especially increasing in light and motion, and applying to jupiter or Venus) then on the next time that Luna meeteth with jupiter or Venus( upon a critical day, etc.) The sickness shall abate, or at least wise, turn out of one disease into another. But if Mars likewise ob●iateth the moon in manner aforesaid, than the grief shall be mortal and invincible, for when the moon doth come to his diameter, he shall die: after the opinion of Hermes.   

☽ in ♈ of ♂ afflicted.  
BUT he that lieth down, the Moon being in Aries and applying to Mars or Sol, the grief shall take his original from the head, with pricking and aching in the pellices of the brain; those persons shall be tormented with continual Fevers, neither can they take any rest or sleep, except sometimes a little flumbring: Their mouth is hot with intolerable thirst, the tongue dry and troubled with heat, with calidity and dryness of the breast, and inflammation of the Liver, tending to a frenzy and alienation of mind. The pulses are sublated, high & inordinate: The helping and healing of those persons, is by letting of blood, and using of thinger that refrigerate and mitigate.  
But if the Moon( especially decreasing in light and motion) be either corporally or radiationally joined with Saturn or Mars, or their envious aspects, than the sick shall die: contrarily if the moon be● free from their semidiameters both corporally & raditionally) chiefly augmenting in light and motion) and applying to jupiter or Venus, than the sick man shall recover his health as aforesaid.   

The ☽ in ♉, of ♄ oppressed.  
IF the Moon( at the increasing of the disease) runneth through the celestial sign of Taurus, be afflicted by the diameter, Aspect, Quartile or Opposition of Saturn( chiefly slow in motion and decreasing) the sickness shall proceed of much drinking, ebrosity or else repleation, with Fevers coming of obstruction, and ache of the precordiackes, and arteries: with inflammation of the whole body, and exulceration of the lungs: the pulses are lofty, high and inordinate; Blood letting and such things as open and dissolve, profiteth.  
And if the Moon be joined to Saturn or Mars, or afflicted by their ill aspects( especially diminishing in light and motion) than when the Moon obuiateth or meeteth with Saturn or Mars( on a mortal day) the sick person shall perish.  
But if she be free from their bodies or ill aspects( chiefly augmenting in light and motion, and applying to the fortunes) then on the next critical day etc. That the Moon concurreth with jupiter or Venus, the sick shall amend.   

The Moon in ♉, of ♂ afflicted.  
But if the Moon be configurated to Mars either by Conjunction or aspect, the sick shall take his bed by the means of a disease proceeding of blood, and be vexed with continual Fevers and obstruction of the whole body with inflammation of the neck and pole, ache of the bones, with inordinate watch, insomniation, and desire of drink, and cool things. Blood letting and things that extenuat, mitigate and assuage, are good against the cause of the grief.  
And if the violence of Mars be not resisted by the favourable beams of the fortunes, but the the moon must needs suffer his malicious influence, then on the next meeting of her and the ill fortunes( upon a dying day) the sick shall depart. But if the moon be delivered from the intercidentical force of Mars( chiefly increasing in light & motion, and adiuted by the amiable beams of jupiter or Venus) than th● disease shall slake after the next judicial etc. concourse with the Moon and the fortunes.   

The Moon in ♊. of ♄ oppressed.  
THe Moon in Gemini afflicted by the malevolous influence of Saturn( especially diminishing in light and motion) shall cause the disease to take his beginning and original, by reason of vigillation and much watch, or by lassitude and weariness of the body with traveling or excess of labour and violent exercise: The arties and sinews shall( as though they were loosed) scarce cleave together, with much debillation and weariness of the body: the grief shall soon show itself( or as Hermes saith,) after three days until the 30. day, the disease shall increase with small Fevers, and consumption, and wasting of the whole body: Also the disease shall be most tormentable by night with sweeting & grief of the spleen: the pulses are low and little. Oftentimes such persons shall have a defluxion and falling down of humours into the arms and legs.  
And if the Moon apply to Saturn( either by Conjunction, Quartile, or Opposition aspect) then on the next congress of Luna, with the destroyers of nature( upon an interficient day) the sick person shall give up his Ghost.  
But if the Moon b● elonged above 9 degrees from the body or ●ll aspect of Saturn, than the sick shall not depart, especially if the moon be increasing in light and motion, and defended by the beams of the fortunes: yet the sick shall be feeble a long time by means of the congellation and toughness of the matter dispersed through all the body.   

The Moon in ♊. of ♂. afflicted.  
WHos● taketh his bed, the moon being in Gemini, and adjoined or enimically aspected and beheld of the furious and ●reful Planet Mars( especially decreasing in light & motion) that person shall be violently tormented with a mortal and deadly disease, proceeding of much ingurgitation of wine and strong drink, and choleric matter. The sick person shall have continual and pernicious burning Fevers, with obstructions and stopping of the veins. The pulses shall be high, and inordinate.  
Blood letting is convenient to the sick body. And if the Moon be configurated to none of the fortunes, but applieth also to Saturn( either by Conjunction, or hateful aspect.) the sick person shall not escape, but at the next mortal day that Luna cometh within the dangerous confines of frowing Saturn, the sick shall yield himself a prisoner and captive to pale death.  
Contrarily if the moon be free from the semidiameters of the ill fortunes( especially assisted with the fortunes, and augmenting in light and motion) then on the next meeting of the Moon with jupiter or Venus( upon a mortal day, etc.) the diseased body shall feel ease.   

The Moon in ♋. of ♄. oppressed.  
SAturne afflicting the moon in Cancer( at the lying down of any sick and diseased Person) denoteth the grief to come of much bathing in cold water, or of a conceit, or vehement cold, or by late drinking, or fitting long at study, or such like: The sick person shall be vexed with the Cough, Catarrh and hoarseness, and distillation and falling down of humours into the breast: with obstructions and oppilation of the Pipes, with Fevers, strict and inordinate: the pulses are low and little.  
And if the moon be decreasing in light and motion, and placically adjoined to Saturn, the sick shall die( chief if none of the fortunes assist the moon with their favourable beams.)  
But if the moon be elonged from the beams of Saturn( especially increasing in light and motion) and fortunately aspected of jupiter or Venus, then on the next meeting of the moon with the fortunes upon a judical day etc.) nature shall prevail against the evil humours.   

The Moon in ♋ of ♂ afflicted.  
HE that is debride or taketh his bed, the Moon being in the sign of Cancer, malefacted by the evil influence of Mars, shall have a disease proceeding of blood or sweet phlegm, with eversion and turning of the ventricle. Things that refrigerate and cool expelles the grief.  
And if none of the fortunes intermeddle their friendly beams, the diseased party shall hardly escape, especially if the Moon be combust, or decreasing in light and motion.  
But if she be adiuted and holpen by the fortunes, then at the next obuiation of Luna with the restorers of nature jupiter or Venus( upon any of the alteration days) the rage & fury of Mars shall b● emulgated and abated.   

The Moon in ♌ of ♄ oppressed.  
IN whose decumbiture & lying down the Moon possessed the celestial sign of Leo( and therein afflicted of Saturn) the grief shall proceed of blood: the sick person shall be grieved about all the breast with heat and intention of the heart strings, with augmenting Fevers: The pulses are troubled & out of course, with great heat and ferventness both inwards and outwards. Things that heat & mitigate, are very good and commodious to the sick body.  
And if Mars also oppress the Moon, or if she be not succoured under the wings of the fortunes, than( on the next mortal day, that the Moon meeteth with the venomous beams of the destroyers of nature) the sick shall die: chiefly if the Moon be combust, or diminishing in light and motion.  
But if jupiter or Venus regard the Moon either corporally or raditionally, especially she being free from the Sun beams, and augmenting in light and motion, for then nature shall get the victory of the rebellious humours, & on the next ambulation of the Moon with the fortunes( on a critical day) the sick shall amend.   

The Moon in ♌. of ♂. afflicted.  
THE Moon being in Leo( oppressed by Mars) the grief shall proceed of superaboundance of blood, causing unstable and uncertain Fevers, with languishing, and sounding, and loss of appetite: heaviness of the body, with drowsiness and dead sleep unerpugnable, with extenuation and consuming of the whole body: weakness, with divers passions and affects of the heart. Things that are refrigerative & abstringent are medicinable.  
And if the M●one apply to the fortunes( chiefly free from combussion, increasing in light, and swift in motion) the sick shall not depart: yet the grief shall be dangerous by reason of the violent heating and adustion of the blood.  
But if the Moon be past the Opposition and joined to the evil beams of Mars diminishing in light and motion: then( upon the next interficient day that the Moon meeteth with the bodies or ill aspects of Saturn or Mars) the diseased person will be forced to yield and surrender his spirit.   

The Moon in ♍. of ♄. oppressed.  
IF the Moon be in Virgo afflicted by the Conjunction or aspect of Saturn( at the time the sick took his bed) the grief shall proceed of crudity and indigestion in the stomach, with ache of the bowels and entrails, proceeding of tough and viscuous phlegm, sometimes with headache and pricking under the ribs, Fevers, strict and inordinate. Things which callifie, mollify, and dissolve, are curable to the grief.  
And if the fortune's aspect the Moon( especially she being increasing in light and motion, and free from the sun beams) than the sick person shall not depart: yet he will be long sick, by the means of the crud humours which will be long before they are fully overcome.  
But if none of the fortunes behold the moon, than there is no hope of life, but at the next meeting with the moon and the ill fortunes( on a Mortal day) nature shall be utterly endamaged and overcome.   

The Moon in ♍. of ♂. afflicted.  
THe moon in Virgo( afflicted by the malicinus beams of outrageous Mars) the sickness shall proceed of sharp and fretting humours, with flux of the womb, and exulceration of the bowels, with small and vustable Fevers: The pulses are flow and thick, with eversion of the ventricle, & the stomach abhorring & loathing of meat. Things that repress the disease, are such as are obstructive, and expel sharp fretting humours.  
And if the severity and cruelty of Mars be not emulgated and abated( either by the conjunction, application, or configuration of jupiter or Venus) the sick shall not escape: chiefly the Moon being combust, and decreasing in light and motion.  
But if the Moon apply to none of the fortunes he shall die( on the next mortal day) to the fortunes the contrary.   

The Moon in ♎ of ♄ oppressed.  
AT whose decumbiture the Moon was collocated in the sign of Libra( and oppressed by the body or aspect of Saturn.) The grief shall come of the ingurgitation or inordinate swilling of wine, and strong drink, with nocturnal and nightly assault and conflict, pain and grief of the head and breast, distillations, cough, & hoarseness: The breast greened of lassitude, the stomach disdaining meat, small Fevers coming by night with a double access. He shall be continually tormented and afflicted, with remission and slackness of the pulses. Things that callifie and heat are very profitable.  
And if the Moon apply to none of the fortunes neither by Conjunction nor aspect, than the sick shall die: especially if the Moon be combust, or decreasing in light and motion.  
But if Mars also afflict the Moon, than the grief shall not turn out of one disease into an other, but at the next congression with Saturn or Mars( on an intercidentical day) the sick person shall die.   

The Moon in ♎ of ♂ afflicted.  
MARS oppressing the moon in the sign of Libra, will provoke a disease proceeding of blood; whereof will grow intensed Fevers, with vigillation and waking, and inflammation of the whole body. The reamidy in curing of such persons, is by letting of blood, and the usage of such things as are dormitable.  
And if none of the fortunes regard the Moon( so afflicted) the diseased person will be constrained to give place to death.  
But if the malice of Mars refrained( by the influence of jupiter or Venus) the sick shall not depart: but at the next congress of the Moon with Saturn or Mars( upon a judicial day etc.) the diseased person shall be restored to his pristive strength.   

The Moon in ♏ of ♄ oppressed.  
furthermore the Moon being in Scorpio of Saturn endamaged( by the evil influence of his poisoned corpse) The disease shall happen by the means of exulceration, or of the evil called bubo in the secret parts, viz. in anno aut pudenda etc. And if the Moon increase in light and motion,( especially adiuted by jupiter or Venus) than the sickness shallbe overcome.  
But if none of the fortunes behold the Moon neither by Conjunction nor Aspect( chiefly diminishing in light and motion) then on the next mortal congression of Luna with the destroyers of nature, dryrie death shall attaint the afflicted corpses of his silly captive.   

The Moon in ♏ of ♂ afflicted.  
THE Moon in Scorpio at the lying down of the sick person( oppressed by Mars) the disease shall proceed of some fervent or hot impostumation or exulceration, the Pocks, Measles, and Hemerods', Pestilence, Illiacie, and such like.  
And if the Moon apply to no fortunate planet,( but is corporally or raditionally adjoined to an ill planet) then on the next meeting of Luna with the destroyers of nature( on a mortal day) the grieved person shall depart.  
But if the moon be swift in motion and departing out of combustion( fortunately affected of jupiter or Venus) the party shall be delivered at the next mortal congression of the Moon & the fortunes.   

The Moon in ♐ of ♄ afflicted.  
SAturne afflicting the Moon in Sagitarius( especially slow in motion and decreasing) will torment the sick body with defluction, of thin and sharp biting humours, ache of the sinews and arteries, refrigerations, with extreme horror of a Fever, corripienting, and afflicting the sick with double access. The remedy of those is by things that mitigate, assuage and heat.  
And if none of the fortunes behold the moon with their amiable beams, but is adjoined or applieth to Saturn or Mars,( either by Conjunction or aspect) than the sick shall not escape: but at the next mortal configuration of the Moon with the ill fortunes, the sick shall depart.  
But bring adiuted of the fortune's( especially increasing in light and motion) and free from combustion the sick shall recover after the next application of Luna and the fortunes on a critical day, etc.   

The Moon in ♐. of ♂. oppressed.  
Mortal and deadly diseases are bred and engendered in their bodies,( at whose decumbiture the moon was oppressed by the influence of furious Mars,) taking original and beginning, of much drinking and repleation: as unstable Fevers, coming of Choleric matter, solution and looseness of the womb: The pulses are remiss and languidious, and the healing of such must be by things that are refrigerative and obstructive:  
It the moon apply to Saturn either by Conjunction, Quartile, or Opposition, than the grief shall be uncurable.  
But if the Moon be elonged 10. degrees, or more from the hateful beams of Saturn and Mars, or applying to jupiter or Venus( especially aumenting in light and motion) the sick shall be diseased until the next Critical etc. obuiation of the moon and the fortunes, and then he shall be delivered.   

The Moon in ♑. of ♄. oppressed.  
THe moon in Capricornus( afflicted of Saturn and diminishing inlight and motion) the grief shall come of a cold cause, with thin and subtle distillations heaviness of the breast, and the lungs oppressed with difficulty of breathing, the cough shall greevouflye torment him by night, with intensed Fevers: Things that mitigate and heat, are medicinable.  
And if the Moon be not succoured by the congression, Conjunction or aspect of the fortunes, the sickness shall be long, yet notwithstanding mortal.  
But if the moon be separated from the semidiameter of his body, or evil aspect( especially augmenting in light and motion) them on the next confamiliaritie of the moon( with Iupi●er or Venus) nature shall prevail against the crud humours.   

The Moon in ♑. of ♂. afflicted.  
BUt it Mars afflict the moon in the sign of Capricorn it w●l provoke an infirmity of vomiting, preceding of cho●●oricke matter or evil digestion. This disease is dangerous and full of peril: continual Fevers, and unstable, loss of appetite, floxe of the womb, with exulceration & exasperation of the fingers, by means of sharp choler and inflammation of the breast: and it is painful for the sick person to stretch or stir his sinews.  
The pulses are remiss and slack. Things constringentive, and obstructive, are medi●pnable.  
And if the Moon be within the semidiameter of Mars, or meeteth also the beams of Saturn( at that instant) than the party shall not escape, but at the next obuiation of the Moon and the ill fortunes( on an interficient day) the sick shall die.  
But if she be elonged from the diameter of the distroyers of nature, jupiter or Venus also assisting the Moon, the sick shall recover.   

The Moon in ♒. of ♄. oppressed.  
WHen Saturn oppresseth the Moon in Aquary( at the lying down of any sick person) the disease shall proceed of much watch, lassitude, weariness, or violent labour and exercise: The grief shall infest him unequally, with remission, and intenston, until the moon come to her Opposition, and then he shall relieve( chiefly) if the fortunes intermeddle their favourable beams.   

The Moon in ♒. of ♂. afflicted.  
IF Mars afflict the Moon in Aquarius( at the lying down of the sick person) he shall be grieved with a most acute and sharp cause.  
And if the Moon apply to any of the fortunes( chiefly increasing in light and motion) the diseased person shall not depart.  
But if the Moon be corporally or raditionally adjoined or aspected of the ill fortunes, than there will be small hope of life.   

The Moon in ♓. of ♄ oppressed.  
THe Moon decreasing in light and motion, and afflicted of Saturn in Pisces, the disease shall happen of refrigerations & cold● bathe, with grievous distillations, and continual Fevers, fiercely augmenting upon the sick: often sighing and pricking of the breast, intention of the precordiace and heartstrings. Things that heat and mitigate doth succour the sick body.  
And if none of the fortunes regard the moon, but she is aspected and beheld by the basilical looks of furious Mars, or if the Moon● obu●ateth also with frowning Saturn, or is within his diameter, than there is no hope of life( chief if the moon be diminished in light and motion) for then at the next congression of the moon with the distroyers of nature( on a dying day) the sick person shallbe forced to surrender his vital breath.  
But if the moon apply to the fortunes either by Conjunction or aspect, the sick shall relieve after the next mortal concourse of Luna with the fortunes, chiefly if she be free from combustion, and augmenting in light and motion.   

The Moon in ♓ of ♂ afflicted.  
FInally if the Moon be in Pisces afflicted of Mars,( either corporally, or radiationally and increasing in light and motion( at the decumbiture of any person) then shall arise a grief proceeding of much ingurgitation of wine or strong drinks, and of plenitude and cepleasion oppressing the sick with nocturnal intentions, with headache doting and frenzy, with burning Fevers, vehement thirst, and desire of cou●d drink. The healing of such is first by opening of a vein, and the usage of those things that repress the cause.  
And if the Moon be not succoured by the fortunes, but is in damaged also by lowering Saturn, then on the next interficient day that the Moon runneth with Saturn or Mars the sick shall depart.  
But if Iupi●er or Venus regard the Moon( with friendly aspect) then on the next critical, judicial, or mortal day, that the Moon pertranceth with the bodies or amiable beams of the fortunes, the violence of the rebellious humours shall be utterly extinguished.  
Note here that the Moon apply to any of the distroyers of nature in what sign soever she be, either by conjunction, application, or any aspect: although it be only by the uniting and adjoining of their semidiameters, yet it will work the like operation in diseased persons: but not so grievously nor mortally, as the Conjunction, Quartile, or Opposition. For if the ill fortunes behold the Moon( with Sextile, or Trine aspects) the disease shall not be lethal: neither also in unperfect applications, Quartile, or Opposition: whereas she is elonged, and separated from their beams( especially if the moon be augmenting in light and motion) and aided by the beams of the fortunes.  
Also according to some men's opinions, it profiteth much the diseased person, if the fortunes or good stars are situated in the Meridian or Horizon( at the decombiture or lying down of the sick body) and so contrary wise it hindereth the grieved person, if the ill fortunes occupy the said places.    

The manner how to know of what Humour or Humours the grief proceedeth.

Thus much I have thought convenient to write of the judgement on sick folks, when the day and hour of the lying down, or the descombiture( of the diseased person) can by any means be serutated or nearly known: but if the day and hour cannot be showed( in which the sick took his bed) than you must contemplate the situation and collocation of the Planets, by a Celestial figure erected for that time in which the question was demanded, or the disease first demonstrated or showed: which manner of judicials I will now omit( for brevities sake) until my next Addition: committing thee gentle Reader in the mean while to the documents of G. C. in his Addition to the work of worthy Darius, entitled The judgement of the Stars: wherein he hath learnedly and copiously entreated thereof.

A Treatise of the four Humours.  
THE body of Man is composed of four essential and hetrogeniall substances, that is to say; Fleame, Blood, Choler, and Melancholy: which Physicians call Humours or complexions, and mixtures of those four simple qualities Heat, Cold, Moisture, and Dryness: ●s Heat, and Moisture etc. which if they exceed or alter that proportion that nature ordained them at the first( either in quality or quantity) then shortly happeneth sickness, & dyscrasy.  

The quality of the four Humours, and the times appropriated unto them.  
Phlegm is the original and primordination of the other Humours, and is engendered of unperfect digestion, and is cold and moist in quality like the water; and hath most puissance in Winter, from the eight day of October until the ninth of March, and from the third hour of the night until the ninth of the said night. This humour is bred in the Liver, and hath his abiding in the stomach, and is known to exceed by these Signs: sleepiness, Dullness, Slowness, Heaviness, Fatness, Cowardishnes, Forgetfulness, Spitting, Super fluity in the nose, little appetite, indigestion, the skin whiter, colder, and smother in touching then it was wont to be: their Urine lower coloured, and thicker, and the Pulse lower and lesser than it was accustomed to be, with dreaming of Rain, Floods and waters.  
BLood is a Humour perfectly concoct, the chiefest nourisher and preserner of our humane nature, and is hot and moist like the air, and increaseth in Spring time, from the tenth of March, to the 24. of April, and hath dominion from the ninth hour of the night, until ●he third hour of the morning, and hath his abode in the veins, and is known to abound by these signs: the Vesne● great and full, carnosity, redness of skin, pricking of the temples, lightness of heart, the Pulse great and full, dreams of red and bloody things, and pleasant conceits: their Urine will be higher coloured and thicker in substance then ordinarily.  
Choler is the clarifier of the other Humours, and is bred of the substance of the meat and drink exceedingly digested, and of some Author is called the froth, or spume of blood, and is hot and dry in temperature like the fire; and hath power in Summer, from the 25. of April until the 17. of September, and hath dominion from the third hour of the day until the ninth hour of the same: Signs; Leanness of body, C●stiuenesse, Hollowness of the eyes, Fierceness, Angrynes, yellowness of the skin, and spottell, and pricking in the right side of the head, Hotnes, the Pulse is swift and strong, and their Urine higher coloured and thinner & brighter than usual with dreaming of fire, lightning, Anger, and Fight, and hath his abitacle in the choffer of the Gall.  
melancholy is a Humour unperfectly concect, and is called the dregs or sediment of the other Humours, and is cold and dry like the Earth: But my opinion is, that pure Melancholy is a gross and thick blood, and is black of colour by reason of the crassitude and thickness, which happeneth by means of indigestion and want of natural heat to extenuate it, and turn it into pure blood, so that Melancholy natural differeth from blood, chiefly by means of colons, which congealeth and maketh it drier and thicker than b●ood neither do I suppose, that Melancholy is altogether so dry as it is cold, for as much as we find few men in whose bodies Melancholy only hath the superiority to exceed in leanness or slenderness, but are rather of a mean proportion, etc.  
Melancholy reigneth in Harvest, from the 18. of September, until the eight of Oct●ber, and hath dominion from the ninth hour of the day, until the third hour of the night, & is perceived by these sig●es: Fearfulness without cause, dreadful unaginations, Fretfulnes, Roughness of skin, Leanness, blackness, or wannesse of co●our, Insomniati●n, Dreams te●●ible, Saltness of the mouth, Solitariness, the Pulse little, with Urine more decoloured and thinner than accustomed, and hath his mansion and abiding in the Spleen.  
And thus much of the temperature and quality of the four Humours, not corrupted or altered, by the meddling of one with the other.   

How the four Humours are distributed in men's bodies.  
THe four Humours are proportioned and distributed in men's bodies two manner of ways:( that is to wit) totally, and particularly:  
total or general distribution, is when one of them only hath the predomination and superiority, as he in whose body choler solely exceedeth, is called Choleric etc.  
But particularly they are distributed after 12. sundry ways, as followeth:  
In some men's bodies▪ Choler only exceedeth the other Humours, and that man I call Choleric.  
And in some, Choler hath i principal dominion, and Melancholy exceedeth the other Humours, and such a person I call cholleticke Melancholy.  
But in some men, Melancholy hath the sovereignty, and Choler hath some dominion, and those I call Melancholy choleric.  
In some, Melancholy solely exceeds, & such persens I term melancholic.  
In other, Melancholy hath the superiority, and blood-some dominion, and they I call melanchol●ike Sanguine.  
In other, blood surmounteth, and melancholy hath the next dominion, and such persons I nominate sanguine Melancholic.  
And in other, Blood only reigneth, and such I call Sanguine.  
But in other, Blood exceeds and Fleame hath participation with it, and those I call Sanguine phlegmatic.  
Also in some, Fleame surpasseth, and Blood hath some dominion, such I call phlegmatic Sanguine.  
In other some, Fleame only hath the pre-eminence, and such I call Phlegmatic.  
And in other some, Fleame hath mastery, and choler some domination: such persons I call Phlegmatic choleric.  
Also in soon men's bodies, Choler hath the principal sovereignty, and Fleame somewhat exceedeth the rest, and such I call choleric Phlegmatic.  
Hereat the ignorant perchance will find some matter to spurn, because I have divided the complexions of men into so many sundry proportions: yet he that is acquainted with the secret operations of nature & knoweth the original cause of a man's complexions and also observeth the diversity of men's colours, the sundry proportions of their bodies, and variety of conditions: shall plainly perceive, that nature hath many ways distributed them, and not only by four manner of proportions, as I will herefollowing declare at large.   

Of the original cause of men's Complexions.  
THe complexion of man proceedeth not of any natural procreation received from his parents at the time of his conception, nor of the milk of the mother or Nurse, wherewith the Infant is nourished( as some do imagine) But is infused and proportioned according to the Celestial bodies, renolting over our Horizon at the nativity of the Infant: for that Sign or Signs, which is colocated in the ascendant or Horoscope, will certainly demonstrate and show of what complexion the native is: for if you find in the first house a fiery sign only situated, you shall judge that person to be choleric of Complexion.  
But if you find in the Horroscop the most part of a fiery sign, and some of a earthy, than you shall call that person choleric melancholic, of complexion.  
And if the latter or least part of a fiery sign possess the ascendant, with the more part of an earthy, you may call that person melancholic choleric.  
Also if an earthy Sign occupy the whole Horoscope, that man shall be melancholic.  
Or if you find in the first House the most part of a earthy Sign and some of an airy, that person shall be melancholic sanguine.  
But if the lesser part of an earthy Sign and the more of an airy possess the ascendant, that man shall be sanguine melancholic.  
Likewise if you find an airy sign occupying the whole ascendant, you shall call that man Sanguine of complexion.  
her: the virtue of digestion is méetly strong in such persons, and their pulse is lesser and slower than in choleric persons, his urine is yellow and thin, their egestion is yellowish and hard, and they dream of falling from high places, of robberies, murders, harms proceeding of fire, fiighting and anger, and such like.   

Signs of a Melancholic choleric man.  
Melancholic choleric men are tall of stature, by reason that natural heat is feeble, and thereby are many fumosities engendered, but yet they are little and slender of body, because of dryness, therefore their skin is rough and hard, and cold in toucking: they have but very little hair on their bodies, & are long without beards, by means of cold which stop the poors, and suffereth not the matter whereof hair is engendered to come forth: also they have much superfluity in the nose: their colour is pale, shadowed with a little nigritude or darkness. As concerning their conditions; they are gentle, given to sobriety, solitary, studious, doubtful, avarous, shamefast, timorous, stubborn, fretful, penfive, constant, and true in action, with a deep surmise, and wit slow, with obliniousnes, their hair is brown and thin, their digestion feeble and less than their appetite, the Pulse little and slack, their Urine subcitrine and thin, and their egestion is fallow and something soft, with dreaming of falling down from high places, fearful dreams and sundry vanities.   

Signs of a Melancholy person.  
Melancholic men are mean of stature, and seldom very tall, for excess cold doth bind the substance and suffereth it not to stretch in length: and although melancholy be dry in temperature, yet they are not little and slender of body, the occasion is( as I imagine) of excess cold( by means whereof much superfluity is engendered) which somewhat delayeth the dryness, for melancholic men are full of phlegm, and rheumatic matter. Their colour is duskish and swarftish pale, their skin is rough, and cold in feeling, they have very little or no hair on their bodies, and are long without beards, yea sometimes beardless: the colour of their hair is duskish and flaren: As thouch their conditions, they are naturally covetous, selfe-lovers, cowardish, fearful without cause, pusilanimous, solitary, careful, lumpish, inhumanious, seldom merry or laughing, stout, stubborn, ambitious, envious, fretful, obstinate in opinions, o● a deep cogitation, mistrustful, suspicious, vexed with dolours of the mind, and dreadful imaginations( as though they were infested with evil spirits) and are very spiteful, curious, squeamish, and yet Slovens, having small rega●d of hansomenes, high minded, and very majestical in behaviour, and retain their anger long; the virtue of concoction is in them very feeble, yet they have good appetite to their meat: their Urine is palish and mean in substance and obtuse, their order is clayish coloured and broken, and they dream of dreadful things, terrible visians, and darkness.   

Signs of a Melancholic sauguine man.  
Melancholic Sanguine men are higher of stature then Melancholic, for in them natural heat is temperate, wherefore fumosities and radical moisture is meanly engendered, whereby they are meanly big, fleshy, and firm of body: their colour is after a darkish red, their skin neither hard nor rough but temperate in heat and softness, and not very hairy, they have beards about 21. years of their age: As touching their conditions, they are more liberal, bolder, merrier, less slubborne, and not so cowarddish solitary, and pensive, as melancholic persons, neither so vexed with evil imaginations as they are: also they are gentle, sober, patient, trusty, merciful, and affable: and to conclude, forasmuch as this complexion is temperate in quality, so likewise it is boon in conditions; for virtue is a mean between to extremes: Their urine is light saffronish coloured, and mean in substance, their pulses are temperate in motion, and their order reddish and loose, with dreams pleasant, and many times respondent to truth, their digestion is meanly strong.   

Signs of a Sanguine Melancholic man.  
SAnguine Melancholic men are mean of stature, with bodies well compact with veins and arteries, fleshy but not fat, they drowsy, and sluggish as they are, but merrier, and quicker witted, their face is for the most part full of yellow sreckles, and their colour white shadowed with yellowness, their appetite and digestion is indifferent: their Pulses are moderate and full, their Urine subcitrine and mean in substance, with order yellow and thickish, dreams of swimming in water, snow and rain.   

Signs of a Choleric phlegmatic man.  
Choleric phlegmatic men are mean of stature, firm and strong of body, and neither fat nor lean, with great legs and their skin hairy, and moderate in feeling, their hair is yellowish, and their colour is flane or yellowish: their conditions is not much different from Choleric men, but they are not altogether so furious and bold as they, neither so prodigal, and guileful; for Fleame doth somewhat delay the heat of choler, their digestion is perfect, their Pulses swift, and their urine light saffron and thin, their egestion yellow and hard, with dreaming of battles, strife, lightning and hot water.   

The operation that eating, drinking, rest and exercise worketh in every Complexion.  
Much eating & drinking in choleric persons( if not exceedingly out of measure) doth no harm, but rather conserveth the good estate of the body, for of much fasting & abstinence cometh great detriment to those persons, for it debilateth nature, consumeth the body, engendereth choleric matter, and sendeth up sour and unsavoury vapours into the mouth, and breedeth adustion of humours( especially little eating of meats apt and easy to digest) for if a Choleric man will preserve his body in health, let him eat a mean quantity of meats hard to defy, and a good deal of meats that are soon digested. Also moderate drinking of small drink doth much profit, for it cooleth violent heat which inflameth & burneth, & engendereth natural moisture which will humect the aired and dried parts by the rage of choler.  
But much drinking of strong drink, and hot wines are utterly to be eschewed, for they inflame the liver, and engender burning Fevers, Hectics, Exulcerations, and choleric Pus●els, and the hot dropsy called Ashcites, etc.  
Much exercise and labour also doth hurt the Choleric person, for it breedeth Inflammations, adustion of humours, the jaunders, overflowing of the Gall, Consumptions, Hectic Fevers, Tympanies, Costivenesse, and Tercian agues.  
THe choleric melancholic man may well observe a mean measure in eating and drinking, eschewing meats hard to digest, for such engender tough phlegm in their bodies.  
Let him drink good drink measurably, but let him avoid excess of small drink because it engendereth congealed phlegm and opillateth the pipes etc. And of strong drink, for it breedeth salt phlegm, Itches, and Exulcerations.  
Moderate exercise is very convenient to such persons.  
But in Melancholic choleric persons, much eating, drinking, and rest, are three champions striving against nature, and engendereth tough and congealed phlegm, darkeneth the skin and increaseth Morphew, oppillateth the pipes, corruppeth the Lungs, and breedeth the Tysicke, and Bléeding, Ventosity, Colic and torments of the womb etc.  
( And if they will conserve their bodies in health) Let them eat and drink sparingly, and use strong drink and hot wines in small quantity: but let them avoid excess( chiefly of small drink) for that cooleth the Liver, quencheth natural heat, hindereth digestion, breedeth the Dropsy, & repleateth the body with phlegmatic matter, obnebulateth the memory, and repleateth the head and pipes with superfluity: and after every little cold taken in the feet, breedeth rumes and ache of the womb. Also the immoderate use of strong drink, breedeth salt phlegm corrupted with choler, causing Itches, and Prurigines.  
THe Mclancholicke person must utterly avoid excess in eating and drinking( especially of meats hard to digest, and small drinks) and use abstinence, and a very slender diet, with meats apt to concoct, and hot drinks that helpeth digestion.  
Much ingurgitations of meats and drinks engendereth trudity, and rawness of the stomach, with corrupt and tough congealed phlegm, causing the breath to stingle, headache, toothache, obliviousness, shortness of wind, Physic, consumption of the Lungs, quarten Fevers, Flures, the Illiacke & Choliack passion, and the Dropsy, called Yposarca and such like.  
Moderate exercise is very salubrious to such persons, for it helpeth digestion and expelleth fantasies and imaginations, and refresheth the spiritual members.  
SAnguine melancholic men are of a stronger constitution then Melancholic, and may eat measurably of meat light of digestion, and drink indifferently of strong drink: but excess( chiefly of meats indigestive and small drink) doth fill the body with phlegm and ventosity, and engendereth thick and black blood.  
Moderate exercise consolidateth their bodies, putifieth their blood and clarifieth their skin: and the like is to be understood in Melancholic Sanguine persons.  
SAnguine men need not be very scrupulous in their diet, so that they exceed not two much out of measure: for in them the digestive virtue is most robust and strong, perfectly concocting the meat and drink: such persons may eat measurably of meats hard to defy, & a good quantity of me ●ts which are soon digested.  
Also they may drink a good quantity of small drink, but ercesse engendereth clammy and sweet phlegm, which oppilateth the poors and conduits of the body, and ingendeteth Fevers, the colic and stone, and torments of the back.  
The inordinate usage of strong drinks and hot wines doth inflame the blood, & breedeth hot rumes, Saint Anthony's fire, squimsies, Pleurisies, Kings evil, Apostuinations in the Liver, and red Pimples in the face.  
Likewise violent exercise is to be eschewed, for it inflameth the Liver, chafeth the blood, and engendereth the Yellow janders, overflowings of the Gall, and Ephemer fevers.  
IN Sanguine fleginaticke men, digestion is meanly strong, and they may eat and drink well of meats and drinks of good temperature and apt to digestion: But much ingurgitation of meats and drinks engendereth thin and watery blood, the small Pox, Exulcerations, colic etc.  
Let them drink measurably of drinks meanly strong, but excess of small drink, maketh the colour the whiter, and their bodies the grosser, and filleth the breast with superfluity, and e●gendeceth dropsies, Gouts, Ache of the joints, Apoplexies, Lytharge, and dullness of memory.  
The excess usage of strong drink, doth work the like effect as in Sanguine men but not altogether so violently: moderate exercise is very profitable.  
THe man in whose body phlegm hath the superiority, and blood hath some dominion over the rest of the Humours, let him keep a slender diet, and beware of the repleation: for much eating and drinking in such persons maketh the skin tawny, with rawness in the stomach, and repleateth the body with citrine and yellow choler, and sour phlegm, and engendereth the Measles, dulleth the wit, & abateth courage: let such use hot wines and strong drinks in small quantity, for excess drinking is to be eschewed; for it maketh the skin greenish or tawny, and engendereth dropsies, Gouts, Pocks, and phlegm, green choler, & unsavonry fumes in the mouth. Let them use exercise, for it cleanseth their bodies of superfluities.  
Phlegmatic men of all other aught to use a very small and slender diet, for the usage of abstinence and fasting helpeth the digestive virtue, and cleanseth the body of gross and unconcocted Humours:  
But contrarily, much eating and drinking quencheth natural heat, hindereth digestion, and repleateth the body wi●● grove humours and superfluity, breedeth stitches and ventosity etc.  
If they will conserve their bodies in health, let them eat and drink very little, and use meats that will soon be digested, and strong drink and hot wines.  
But let them avoid excess of drinking for that engendereth Quotidians, the Dropsy called Lencoflemna, Falling sickness, Gouts, Green sickness, Rumes, Catarrhs and such diseases as are bred of indigestion. Much exercise also is very salubrious to the bodies of such persons, for it extenuateth gross Humours and expel●eth them by sweat and other evacuations, quickeneth the memory, stirreth up courage, and clarifieth the skin.  
Phlegmatic choleric men are of a stronger nature than Phlegmatic persons,( for in them the virtue of digestion is quicker) and may observe a mean order of diet, but excess filleth their bodies with yellow choler, & such diseases as proceed thereof.  
Also much excess of drinking engendereth corrupt matter, Morbus gallicus, Fistula, etc.  
Moderate exercise is commodious to this complexion.  
Choleric Phlegmatic persons are of strong constitution, & may eat and drink a good quantity, slender diet & abstinence doth work the like operation in them as in choleric, but not so outrageously.  
Much excess of strong drink inflameth the blood, and engendereth yellow jaundices, and Plurisyes.  
Let them use one excercise moderately: but beware of violent labour.  
Here is to be noted( gentile Reader) that exact judgement cannot be given upon a man's complexion by any one of the aforesaid tokens, for as much as they are all variable and changeable: yet of rest, the colour is most certain in our Ocean climates, and in healthful persons, but foreign Climes and sickness altereth the colour: also the Stature, Trine, Pulse, and Order of a person, changeth after the order of diet and health of the party: also the conditions altereth sometimes when grace worketh above nature, or when some fortunate Planet is Lord of the nativity And as for dreams, they 〈◊〉 together variable, one while proceeding of some inordinate musing and thinking of a thing, whereby the virtue cogitive is troubled, and imprinteth the same in the brain, sometimes of the humour bred and engendered in the stomach, evapouring into the head: & otherwhiles the illusion of evil spirits, or by the Revelation of good Angels. And to conclude, a man's complexion altereth according to age and diet of the person, as natural heat aug●●enteth or defecteth.

The Epilogue of the Author.  
OMightie jove to thee be praise, that rules & reigns on high,  
Thy Majesty extolled is above the Starry sky.  
Thou that the heavens & earth of confused Chaos made  
The Son and Moon and twinkling Stars,  
Bright day and nightley shade,  
Who can express thy wondrous works, thy wisdom, power and might:  
No Saint nor Angel can do it, much less a mortal Wight.  
Thou that from wise and pregnant wits, thy Arcanes dost conceal:  
And unto Babes and simple men, thy secrets dost reveal:  
Let Cherubin and Seraphin, laudate thy name always:  
And hills and dales, resound a voice to echo forth thy praise  
Also let man and beast likewise, thy worthy acts admire:  
And every living thing on earth, thy condign praise aspire.  
Thou canst the dead to life reujue, & to the blind give sight:  
And eke bring out of Stygian vale, so forcely is thy might.  
For why the life of every thing, is in thy hand O Lord.  
And mayst do with it what thou wilt, if that thou say the word  
Thou that the Sun for certain days, didst cause to stay & stand  
Until thy people Israel, had got the upper hand,  
Canst bridle frowning Satur's rage, & bloody Mars withhold  
and bring the Sick to perfect health what ever Stars foretold.  
For thou alone art only he, that all things dost respect:  
And rulest fate and future haps, for love of thine elect.  
Unto the Father uncreat, and jesus Christ his Son:  
And unto God the holy Ghost, all laud and praise be done.
