NOte, that it is not convenient to let blood, whilst the Moon pass by Tau. Capr. Gem. Leo. and Scorp. or the Moon near the change, full, or quarters: or being afflicted by Satur. or Mars.  
The Moon in Aries well affected, is a fit time to let blood such as be of a Sanguine or Phlegmatic complexion.  
The Moon in Canc. let blood the choleric complexion.  
The Moon in Aqua. or Libra. fitteth the Melancholic.  
Shear your sheep, to have them deep fleeced: pole or cut your hair to avoid baldness: set and remove young trees to have them grow the better and fayter, in the increase of the Moon.  
The wane of the Moon, she being in Aries. Sagit. or Capr. maketh an approved time to lib or geld cattle.   

 diagram of human body as microcosm (with members corresponding to zodiacal signs)  

In head and face is Aries place,  
and Taurus in the neck:  
But arms & hands in Geminies bands,  
do suffer joy and wreck.  
Cancer doth possess the breast,  
the ribs and stomach stout:  
And Leo back and heart he hath,  
thereof ye need not doubt.  
Virgo belly and bowels,  
take thou with all their pains,  
For Libra lo the buttocks hath,  
the navel and the rains.  
Scorpio the private parts,  
to have lo still she cries:  
For sure she is that sagittary,  
possesseth both the thighs.  
Then Capricorn must rule the knees,  
for legs to aquary long.  
And Pisces purchased hath the feet:  
therefore do him as wrong.
