THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE.  
THE Diseases incident to Humane Bodies (and which by Divine Providence are inflicted on Mankind by the Influence of the Seven Planets) proceed chiefly from our corrupt Nature, viz. from our Ignorance in discerning Good and Bad Seasons, which Knowledge is so noble and precious, that it was given to Man as a great Treasure; but by his own too greedy thirst after Pleasure, he hath altogether lost this Gift, which hath lain buried in the Ruins of Time for near Six Thousand Years, and now (God be praised) it is raked from under the Rubbish again; so that there needs no other Care, than that wise and prudent Men make it their Study to preserve it for the future; but if this Study can in no wise be prosecuted, without the attendance of too much Voluptuousness, may the Divine Trinity grant, That the Spirit of Darkness and Humane Pride may not prevail over the Light of Nature, and its Virtue, now, as it hath done heretofore.  
AMEN.   

THE PUBLISHER TO THE READER.  
Courteous Reader,  
TO appear in a Foreign Dress in a Strange Country, exposes a Person, either to contempt or admiration. If the Dignity of his Character defends him from the first, the oddness of his Habit will subject him to the other. In this Translation, we have endeavoured to make the Stranger appear as Modish as is possible, for a Person Born so many Years ago, and now introducing an Hypothesis which this Age is very little acquainted with.  
There is not a Man that hath Trod upon the Margin of Ancient Literature, but knows the Egyptians and Phoenicians, (the Ancient Founders of Philosophy,) covered their acquired knowledge under the umbrage of affected or appointed Figures or Characters, such as Hieroglyphical representations, etc. Now, for a Man to find out in these Times the secret Mythology of this abstruse Learning, to people unaccustomed and unable to apprehend the reason of such Proceedings, is to make himself a downright Conjurer, and engage all the Pretenders to a less, though more gainful Art, in an Offensive War against him.  
It is the Nature of little affected knowledge, to be very apprehensive of too much light, lest it should discover its too common defects; and those who have gained the way of making Men fools upon trust, abhor the News of any who undertake to undeceive them.  
It is a great mistake, to think the Stars and we are strangers, and that they were only made for sparkling Toys, to please Children when they are unquiet: The Ancients were better acquainted with them, they familiarly knew their Virtues and Influences, and could tell how readily to apply them to the necessities of Mankind; Jupiter est quodcunque vides, quocunque moveris; They are certainly without and within us, and whether we will or no, we must feel their Effects. Nor are they less Causers of our Maladies, than they are Promoters of our Felicity; Foelix qui potuit rerum cognoscere causas. They have an irresistible and unseen virtuality in all our Being's, and whether we will be sensible of it or no, they work their own ends upon us, but how, and after what manner their Operation is, is unknown to us: Yea, even they who rail against their Power, labour under their Effects; and when Nature decays, are supported by their Means, whose effective Virtue they will never understand.  
However, I present you an Author in as plain English as a Countryman of his own was able to make him speak: But if this prove not palatable, I will try to give you a better Entertainment in the Second Part.  
The Method observed by the Author, is very familiar and easy. For, first, he gives you an Account of the Afflictions frail Nature is subject to, from the malignant Influences of the Seven Planets, either singly, and by themselves, or in Conjunction with one another. 2dly, He presents you with a Catalogue of the Herbs, Trees, and other Vegetables, as they are subject to the Dominion of the Seven Planets. 3. He tells you how, and after what manner, and by whom, the Nature, Virtue, and Use of Herbs was first shown to Mankind; and to whom we are Indebted for so signal a Benefit. 4. He points out to you the Day, Hour, and Minute, in which you are to Gather or Dig up the Herbs and Roots, influenced by their proper Planets throughout the Year; and the time when you are to apply them, for the Cure of all the Sicknesses and Diseases occasioned by the Malignant Influences of the Seven Planets. 5. You are taught so to prepare the Seven Metals, as to make them fit to receive the Influences of their several Planets, which then are called the Sigils or Seals of the Planets; and also, how to Imprison their Influences in their proper Stones, for the removing of all the Ills Mankind is Afflicted with by their Means. These Influences thus Imprisoned, do likewise preserve the Bearers from any threatened or impending Mischiefs. 6. You have a complete Method of curing all Sicknesses and Diseases incident to humane Bodies, by conjoining the Influences of the Seven Planets with the Seven Metals, which is called by Paracelsus an Electrum,  
AN INESTIMABLE JEWEL.  
Lastly, He concludes with the Operation and Virtue of the Seven Sigils or Seals in Metal or Stone, against all diseases of Body and Mind; all Accidents and Contingencies, Enemies Public and Private; and directs you how you may attain to the knowledge of all Sciences, to Riches, day by day; to the Love and Friendship of every one, and to become Courageous and Fortunate.  
That Diseases are occasioned by the Influences of the Planets, is a Doctrine as Ancient as Astrology, taught by the Professors in every Age: That all Vegetables are subject to the Starry Influences, has been maintained by divers Learned Men in all Ages, and of all Nations; and it hath been observed, that those Physicians who have stuck the closest to the Rules given for the gathering and applying of the Herbs, have had wonderful Success, and have performed Cures almost miraculous, as Bolton, Culpeper, Blagrave, and others, who have many living Monuments to testify for them: But the best way to arrive at a full Conviction, is to examine the Methods here prescribed; if you find them answerable to a just Inquisition, applaud and commend them; if otherwise, use your Pleasure. However, in my next, I promise to present to the World some proofs of the Starry Influences, experimented by the ingenious Artists of the Age they lived in, as well in the Vegetable as Animal Kingdom. What is told you here, is only what a Man experienced before your Fathers were Born, and thought he perfectly understood: If you know otherwise, pray be pleased to be as free as he, Si non, his utere mecum.   

To my Loving Friend B. Clayton, M. A. on his Mysterium Sigillorum, Herbarum, & Lapidum.  
HOw hapless is our Lot, when those pretend  
To Cure our Ills, who ne'er their own could mend;  
Who only fraught with Impudence and Pride,  
Mount a tall Stage, and o'er Mankind would ride;  
From cutting Capers on a Rope commence  
Licentiates, without Learning, Truth, or Sense?  
When all the while th' admiring Crowd below  
Throw Handkerchiefs & Gloves, & humbly bow  
To him, who no more than themselves does know,  
But only gapes for what they will bestow.  
But you, my Friend, have chose a Nobler way  
Your Learning, Skill, and Judgement to display  
In such just Terms, as do at once impart  
Your condescending Goodness and your Art.  
You, by deep Labour and industrious Toil,  
With a new Guest have blest our drooping Isle,  
Who long obscured in too ungrateful Night,  
Appears in England with redoubled Light.  
Sure some great Blessing to that Land is near,  
Whose Stars produce two Wonders in one Year,  
An Emperor, and a Philosopher.  
To Heaven and Stars no more we'll cast our Eyes,  
This Art their Virtue to our Use applies;  
Tho' they still keep their shining distance there,  
This charms their Will, and brings their Influence near.  
Unvulgar Mysteries, which lay concealed  
To common Science, are at last revealed.  
Thus in the dark the useless Chaos lay,  
Yet formed a World when God produced the Day  
Pardon, you Aesculapians, who confine  
All Learning to your narrow College-Line:  
Who fix Non Vltra to your College-Gate,  
Where Dying Patients do unpitied wait;  
Unpitied still by You, if they withhold,  
Or are unable to produce the Gold,  
That charming Idol, whom you all adore;  
For he's not worth regarding that is Poor.  
Pardon, if we adventuring charm the Skies  
To give us cheap and better Remedies.  
If we, by Art unknown to You, can show  
A nearer way to Health and Pleasure too:  
Excuse yourselves, nor venture to Complain,  
Till you a readier Method can obtain.  
Proceed, my Friend, till the vast Work is done,  
And bravely finish what is well begun.  
Success upon your careful Toil attends,  
For all the Stars in Heaven are your Friends.  
The wand'ring Planets do approve your Course,  
And to your Labours join their secret Force.  
Assisted thus by Heaven, let no Despair  
From the well-grounded Work your Resolution scare.  
B. Bridgwater.   

On this Excellent Treatise concerning the Secret Mystery of Sigils, Herbs, Plants, Minerals, etc. Published by my good Friend B. Clayton. A. M.  

OUr Author's come upon the Mundane Stage,  
To Cure Diseases which do Vex this Age:  
To show the Virtues of Herbs, Plants, and Seals,  
What chosen Times their secret Force reveals:  
How some obstruct Health: how some Sickness heals.   

The World is governed by Stars Energy,  
And Certain Help descendeth from on High.  
Who hopes to conquer Humane Maladies  
Must have a Warrant from the spangled Skies,  
To search the Planets Powers! making them Friends  
Unto his Christian Philosophic Ends.   

One Reason why Physicians often miss  
Of Honour from their Patient's Cure, is,  
All Heavenly Influence they throw aside,  
Either through Ignorance, or delusive Pride;  
Tho such act best, who've Heaven for their Guide.   

Here's Art revived in an Ungrateful Age:  
The Power of Herbs, Plants, Gems! & every Page  
Contains some Rarity, fit for the true  
Adepti only.— Such as humbly show  
To 
* 2 Sam. 5.  Sacred Writ due reverence; and thence learn  
What Power the Blind and Lame yield; and discern  
The Mystic Vigour of the Golden Mice.  
How for to banish Serpents, Snakes, and Flies,  
And turn each Land into a Paradise.  
All done by Holy Talismans'! which bring  
Relief to Men (some think) in every thing.   

Few know the Interest of Sympathy,  
How Heavenly Atoms and the Earth's agree:  
How foetid Odours do disturb our Sense:  
And, how by Pleasant, we find Recompense:  
Then thank the learned Author, who imparts  
Thus generously these choice Mysterious Arts,  
By such just Tribute, you may him incline,  
With more Rich Skill to Visit us again.   
John Gadbury, 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉.   

To my Respected Friend Captain Richard Powel, the Preserver of this Curious Work.  
Sir,  
I Know my Weakness, and I should excuse  
This Task, too weighty for my staggering Muse,  
Since Commendations cold, more hurt a Friend,  
And such as Praise but meanly, discommend.  
Yet this I'll say, this Work must needs acquire  
Amazement from the vulgar, who admire  
The most, what they know least: and thus the Sun,  
When he's Eclipsed, is much gazed upon.  
Hence may be learned the Causes and Effects,  
Not known as yet to Common Intellects,  
How Stars, Instruments of Heaven's Influence,  
Do dart their Glorious Beams from thence.  
Here's Rules how to Prevent, and to Recall,  
By Power of Sigils, Talesmatical,  
So much derided by one Canting Knave,  
Whose Name will odious be when in his Grave.  
Health, Beauty, Riches, you may hereby give,  
And (almost) teach a Dying Man to Live.  
Let's call the Ghosts of all those Famous Men,  
As Paracelsus, Gafferell, and then  
The worthy Esquire Ashmole, Lily, and the rest,  
To justify these Secrets thus depressed:  
They are purely Natural, which is well known,  
And by this Learned Author amply shown.  
Tho' these my unpolished Lines can't raise  
His Name, nor give this Work deserved Praise:  
Yet most Men like whoever doth impart  
Such Curious things in Nature, and in Art.  
Let this suffice, I say 'tis Good, 'twill Sell,  
The Publisher and Author has done well.  
Ita dixit Henry Coley, 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉.   

To my Esteemed Friend, Captain Richard powel, who in his Travels providentially preserved this Book.  
MOst generously to us you do impart  
What was Van Hebner's called, now R. P's Art.  
Betwixt you both is framed a Noble Piece,  
Beyond the Price of Jason's Golden Fleece.  
By Providence 'twas brought, saved from that Flame,  
Surviving the Physician's Spite & Shame.  
Next from Oblivion of some Ages past,  
By its own Merits crept abroad at last.  
From Planets, Stars, and Aspects Influence,  
Herbs, Stones, & Seals, this Work it did commence,  
By solid Judgement passed, this Art profound  
Will heal the Sick, keep Mind and Body sound.  
This shows thy Genius can the World command;  
Thou needest no Heritage, or purchase Land:  
But this, perhaps, cannot thy Wants suffice,  
For we but merely see with vulgar Eyes.  
Infinity of Worlds thou wouldst descry,  
And prove them true by thy Philosophy.  
What-e'er Improvements of your Time you make,  
Let us, like this, your Knowledge still partake.  
This Second Birth of you shall never Die,  
But with your Fame survive Posterity.  
R. M.   

To my Worthy Friend, B. Clayton, A. M. on his Mysterium Sigillorum, Herbarum, & Lapidum.  
LOng have the Starry Influences been  
Denied by Learned, yet malicious Men:  
But such a Truth that shines so clear and bright  
Can ne'er be buried in Eternal Night.  
Clouds for a Season may obscure the Sun,  
Yet he far brighter shines when they are gone.  
No Age so fraught with Ignorance and Spite,  
As to destroy all Glim'rings of the Light.  
Some Sparks are still (even by their Foes) preserved,  
Till unto real Friends they are preferred,  
Who with profound Respect receive the Prize,  
And double Joys exchange for Miseries.  
Pardon me, Sir, if I can clearly prove  
This Blessing to proceed from your kind Love.  
No promised Gain corrupts your Noble Heart,  
You acted freely this most Generous part,  
Restoring to us Influential Art.  
The blust'ring Storms that roar in th' yielding Air,  
Are influenced by some wand'ring Star.  
The swelling Billows in the raging Main,  
Thundering & lightning, and loud Hurricane,  
And welcome Calms after tempestu'us Rain,  
Submit to the Force of the wrangling Stars,  
Who court us with Peace at th' end of their Wars.  
They Wars beget in Kingdoms, Church, & State,  
And civil Broils 'twixt real Friends create.  
The little World doth feel their cruel Rage,  
Which favours neither Infants, Sex, nor Age.  
At Birth the Stars do influence our Fate,  
Reduces Rich, and makes the Poor Man Great.  
Our Inclinations all follow their Wills,  
Who give us Health, and subject us to Ills:  
They speak one Prudent, another Raving Mad;  
This Man Thrifty, yet always Retrograde;  
He Bacchus Courts, and still his Coffers fill,  
This Worship's Gold, yet cannot keep a spill;  
But you have Taught by Starry Influence,  
To Health, to be Regenerate as well as Sense.  
To be to Riches Born, to Pleasures, Wit,  
To all that can our very Souls delight.  
You may Old Time command, and when that's done,  
With Hezekiah good, bring back the Sun.  
To Sum up all, would you be Healthy, Great,  
You must by Influ'nce be Regenerate.  
Once more, my Friend, excuse my 'pplauding voice,  
Tho' I but meanly can commend your choice.  
The Good which we shall reap, will wrap your Name,  
And Influential Art, i'th' Rolls of Fame.  
Our Fathers in their Tombs may praise thy Skill;  
Our Children after us (I am sure) will.  
And whilst we live, we hope we may obtain  
Our Wishes, that you'll visit us again.  
Bentivolio.

There is nothing covered, that Shall not be, 
 Revealed; and hid, that Shall not be known.  
The Stars are not to be Blamed, because the 
 Astrologers are ignorant of their Influences; nor are 
 the Herbs to be despised, because Physicians know not their Virtue.

These aforementioned Sicknesses and Diseases are occasioned by one or other of the Seven Planets in general; and then especially when the Body is out of order; or by the Antipathetick Rays of one Planet to another; for then a Man is presently sensible of it; as a Magnet, when the Iron comes too near.  
Wherefore, next to the Use of the Seven Metals, there is no speedier Means of Curing these Maladies, than by the Herbs, Roots, and Seeds, gathered at such time as the Planet governing such Herbs, Roots, and Seeds, is well posited, or strengthened by another Planet or Star Sympathetically; as hereafter more at large is described.

The Third Instruction. Of the Invention, Knowledge, and Demonstration, of the Virtue of Herbs.  

CHAP. I. Who were the first that found out the Use and Virtue of Herbs.  
TO say something of the Virtue and Praise of Herbs, I think it not the least Commendation, That the first Invention and Demonstration is ascribed to Idols, or Oracles; as also to Mighty Kings and Lords, not only by Pagans, but by the Hebrews and Christians.  
Therefore, the more Illustrious the Inventor is, the more we ought to esteem of the Invention.  
Moly, is a Famous Herb, highly commended by the Poet Homer. The Idol, Mercury, commended it first to Prince Ulysses that he might defend himself from the Witchcraft of Circe: But not known in these Countries. It grows only in Arcadia, having a round black Root, like an Onion. It is very difficult and troublesome to dig up. Next to this, is,  
Panacea, called Holy, being a Medicine proper for all Sicknesses and Diseases. This is ascribed to Chiron, Hercules, and Aesculapius.  
To the same Hercules is also ascribed Hen-bane, and another, called Heracleon Syderion, an excellent Wound-Herb, for all Wounds made by Iron or Knife, which now bears the name of Mercury, because Mercury first showed the Use of it to Mankind.  
The Great Captain Achilles, hath also some Herbs after his Name, Achillea and Achilleon: And many of these Herbs are mentioned by Pliny.  
There are also a great many of our own Herbs and Flowers ascribed to the Saints, which, to this day, are called by their Names; as, Herba Trinitatis, Rosa Virginis Mariae, Radix Spiritûs Sancti, Flores Magdalenoe, Herba Sancti Jacobi, Herba Sancti Christophori, Carduus Marioe, Herba Sancti Petri, Herba Sancti Laurentii, Herba Sancti Johannis, and innumerable more of them, which by us are much set by, and esteemed to be highly powerful, for no other Reason, then that such Holy Men first found out the Use and Virtue of them, and called them after their own Names, and blessed them.  
'Tis said, That our Saviour Jesus Christ first planted Hyssop with his own Hands; tho' it is indeed ridiculous, either to talk of, or believe it. However, it adds to the Credit of Herbs, that our Forefathers have so highly esteemed them, as to ascribe the Invention of the Virtue of them to the Gods and Saints; for they dedicated Esculus, to Jupiter; Laurus, to Apollo; Oleaster, to Minerva; Vitis, to Bacchus; Myrtus, to Venus; Vlmus, to Hercules; and such like, etc.   

CHAP. II. Who first found out the Use of Herbs.  
HIstorians do not agree, who was the first among the Idols that found out the use of Herbs. Diodorus Siculus, one of the most Ancient Historians, saith, That Mercury was the first; others again, that Arabus, the Son of Apollo and Babylon; others, that Apollo himself, and after him Aesculapius; yet most believe that the Egyptians were the first Inventors of this Art, from whom it derived to the Groecians, and from them, a long time after, to the Romans, in the Days of Marcus Cato the Censor.  
Notwithstanding the Groecian Professors of Physic were not publicly admitted into Rome, but were Banished several times, because they did oft deceive the Romans, and were by them accounted a Barbarous People.  
True it is, that the Physicians in those days had no great Skill in applying the Herbs aright; as Pliny in several places testifies, who calls them Arch-Butchers and Murderers; yet (altho' they Killed their Patients) they had a Grant from the Magistrates to be paid for it.   

CHAP. III. Who first Methodised the Herbs.  
HOW the Herbs were brought into Order, Pliny and Strabo have sufficiently demonstrated, saying, That it was performed by Hypocrates, a Famous Man, Born in the Island Co, where it was the Custom of the Inhabitants of that Island, that all those who were cured of any Distemper, writ their Names, and the Medicines by which they were healed, in the Temple of Aesculapius, who collecting the same experimented Medicines in Writing, brought them into a perfect Method: But because, after that time, the Herbs had not the same Operations, there arose so many Opinions among the Professors, that, to this day, there is such Uncertainty in Physic, that there is scarce an Art that stands in more need of Assistance than this of Physic.  
When the Babylonians were without a Physician, they carried their Sick into the public Street, that so they might speak to, and ask every one's Advice, and especially those who had been afflicted with the same Distemper, and been cured by Medicine.  
Thus Medicine came first to light; and having the special Influence of the Heavens Calculated from the time of their Nativity, it did greatly help them; and what is said of the Poets, may be truly ascribed to our Artists, Nascuntur, non fiunt; because, being Born under a particular Influence, they are more acute in the Art or Mystery, and discover many things without the assistance of others; as we see at this very day in some, who have more Knowledge in Herbs, and Natural Causes, than your high celebrated Physicians, etc. These things Herodotus, Strabo, Brunfells, and Matthiolus mention.   

CHAP. IU. Showing, that several Herbs were discovered by Dreams and Visions.  
PLiny saith, and it is also to be believed, That the true Knowledge of some Herbs has been revealed by the Gods in Dreams; as we say of our Prophets, who have foretell things to come by the Revelation of the Holy Ghost: And he citys a Story of a Soldier, who being bit by a Mad-Dog, could find no Help, till his Mother, in her Sleep, saw the Root of Wild-Roses, or Dog-Roses, which continued so fixed in her Memory from the Vision she had the Night before, that she made use of the said Root, giving it him to drink in Goats-Milk, by which means the Soldier, her Son, was perfectly cured.  
This is the approved Opinion, and, without doubt, it was the Spirit of God that instructed Adam and Eve, (who had also the Knowledge of Animals and Vegetables, that whatever they called them, that was their Name) and the Patriarches, who gave the same Instruction to their Children after them.  
We read also of Solomon, that thro' the Spirit of God he had the true Knowledge of the Creation of the World, which we call, Natural Philosophy; of the Knowledge of the Heavens, and the Motion of the Stars; of Animals; of Winds, and the Thoughts of Men; as also of Herbs and Roots; which is at large described by him in the Book of Kings, viz. That he had the Knowledge of the Nature and Virtue of all Vegetables, from the Cedar of Libanus, to the Hyssop that grows upon the Wall.   

CHAP. V. What sorts of Herbs were found out by Kings and Potentates.  
THE Kings and Potentates, in times of Old, gave Names to Herbs, and showed the Use of them to Mankind; and as Pliny reports, They esteemed it a more Princely Act, than if they had gained a Battle over their Enemies.  
Gentius, King of Illyria, first found out Gentian, the Use and Virtue of which he showed to Mankind, which pleased him far better than if he had subdued an Hundred Cities and Countries.  
Clymenes and Lysimachia were also discovered by Kings.  
Scordium, that Noble Herb, as also Euphorbium, were first discovered by Mithridates, King of Pontus.  
Artemisia was so called from a Queen of that Name, Wife to Mausolus.  
Servilius Democritus named Hypericon; as also Avicena, Rhasis, Haly, Messias, Abraham, have Named others, who have had an equal Esteem with Kings and Potentates.   

CHAP. VI How, in process of Time, the Knowledge of Herbs was Revealed to Nations and Common People.  
BY the Superiors is this Art delivered to the Meaner sort, who have also discovered these wonderful Creatures of God.  
First, the Scythians discovered the Virtue of the Root Scythica, or Liquorice, growing in Scocia.  
After them the Thracians found out the Virtue of Ichneumon, which is powerful in stopping Blood, not only in a Bursten Artery, but also in Members defected.  
The Vetones, in Spain, first discovered the Herb Betonica, which retains its Name from that People to this very day: And the Illyrians discovered the Iris Illyrica. Of all which you may read Pliny, Dioscorides, and Theophrastus.   

CHAP. VI Brutes have discovered many precious Herbs.  
THE Brutes have also made way to the Discovery of several excellent Herbs, and those not the least, which adds to their Reputation.  
And hence the Power of the Almighty is the more to be admired and adored, who hath created Physic even for Brutes, who, by means of one Herb alone, cure many Diseases incident to them.  
It is also the Opinion of Ancient Physicians, That if we had not some Instructions from Brutes in Physic, as also in Nursing, and other things, we could never have discovered the same; as Helianus, Aristotle, and Pliny, declare; to cite all which here would be too tedious.   

CHAP. VIII. When the Knowledge of Herbs was committed to Writing.  
THE Use and Virtue of Vegetables hath been long known amongst Men; and Fathers have always instructed their Children in it, before Characters were invented: And some there are that, at this day, have no Skill in Letters, yet are very skilful in the Use and Virtue of Herbs and Roots, which Knowledge they have partly from their Ancestors, and partly by Natural Instinct, notwithstanding they have read no Books: But since Writing hath been invented, the Knowledge of the Nature and Virtue of Herbs hath been committed to Books; because the Memory of Man could not retain them all; and because, the same should not in Time be forgotten, but that Posterity should know the same.  
In those Days Herbals were not common, nor the Knowledge of Herbs very general; for one wrote upon one, and another upon another.  
We read that King Juba was the first that writ of the Virtue of Euphorbium: Mison, of Plantain: Musoeus and Hesiodus, of Polilim: Chrysippus, as also Dieuches and Cato, of Brassica: Zeno the Stoic, of Cypress: Antinomachus, of Cytisum: Marchio, of Radishes: Apuleius, of Betony: Virgil, of Ebony: Erasistratus, of Lysimachia: Homer, of Saffron, Lotus, and Hyacinthum: Hesiod, of Mallows: Archigenes, of Castor: Aristomachus, of the Vine: Asclepiades, of Chamomil.  
After these succeeded others; as Theophrastus, Bithimus, Asolas, Heraclides, Tarantinus, Julius Bessus, Nisseratus, Petronius Niger, Ditotus, Cratatas Andreas, and, at last, Dioscorides and Pliny, who writ Books, and collected the Experiments made before their time.  
Although something of these, by the length of Time, is lost, yet we see still that they were more diligent in those days, than we are now, when few will be persuaded to read the Books of the Ancients.  
I will not mention the Professors of this Art, who refuse to study the Experiments of the Ancients, for their better Instruction, because the Ancients Skill was not enlarged through the whole Kingdom of Vegetables, but confined to the Virtues of some few Herbs; so that one described one; and another, another: Not that Virtue which was known in the time of Adam, Enoch, Methusalem, and Solomon; but for several Hundred Years since, out of such Authors which they found perfect.  
I could say much here of Apollo, Perne, Aesculapius, Machaon, Podalirius, and also of Hypocrates, if occasion would permit.   

CHAP. IX. Of some Wonders, Signs, and Miracles, effected by Herbs.  
BEcause many strange things are done here upon Earth, which are the Work of God, but by Men are little set by; yet in nothing they show themselves more plain, than in Herbs, of which there are innumerable sorts, endued with innumerable Virtues: if they were but known, and studied, as the Ancients did, we might, to this very day, also show many Miracles, as the Ancients did, not by Witchcraft and Sorcery, but by the Property and Essence of the Creatures, assisted by the Influence of the Stars.  
Pliny tells us of many things which may be effected by Herbs, gathered under their proper Influences, which we account impossible and ridiculous; but by the Ancients this Art was called, Magia Naturalis, and so mightily esteemed by them, that they hid it from vulgar People, and made it known only to Philosophers, and Mighty Kings: But the Sacred Art was, at length, (like the Holy Scripture) mightily abused, by the succeeding Idolatrous People, who mingled the same with many Superstitious Operations, Sorceries, and Black Art: Therefore the Jews, Christians, and Ancient Romans, condemned the same as a Superstitious Art, and Diabolical; by which means the Knowledge of Nature, and Natural things, is hardly, and with much more Labour and Difficulty attained to.  
But that it may appear what the Ancients effected with Herbs, I will give the Reader a Taste, that he may see, by a few Examples, what the whole Family of Vegetables would do, if Men knew the Use and Virtue of them.  
Lotus, is a Vegetable, growing in the Island Circe, as Homer saith, endued with such force, that he who tastes of it, forgets his Native Country, Children, and all that is dear to him.  
Xanthus', a Famous Historian in the days of Lot, mentions an Herb, called Boli, by whose Virtue, those that were slain by Dragons, were brought to Life again, and that not once, but often, as Pliny testifies.  
Hence it is to be seen, that though we do not credit the Word of God, yet it is Natural, and no Fable, what is written in the Book of the Creation of the Tree of Life; and no doubt, but at this very day, there are several Herbs and Vegetables endued with the same Virtue, which, by reason of our Sins, we are unworthy to know.  
Theophrastus writes, and Democritus also believes it, that there is an Herb, which, in former times, Josephus knew, by whose Virtue, a Wooden-pin drove into a Tree was pulled out.  
'Tis said also of Betony, That if you make a Circle with it, and cast Serpents into the Circle, they will not come out, but slay one another.  
We find in History, That the Scythians knew an Herb called Scythice, or Spartanaca, of which, if they did but chaw a little, they preserved themselves from Hunger and Thirst twelve days.  
Also, There have been Herbs that have dried up a whole Sea; and being thrown into a violent Current, it hath stemmed it; and whoever carried it with him, wanted nothing. This Herb is called Ethiop's.   

CHAP. X. The Ancients used only Herbs, not Compositions.  
NOW seeing these wonderful Virtues and Operations in Herbs, the Ancients used them singly, excluding all great Compositions, as in these days, of which they knew nothing in former time: These were Invented thro' covetousness and ignorance of the Nature of Herbs, which is arrived to that pass, that the true knowledge of Herbs is quite extinguished by reason of the Physicians, who, by leaving the true knowledge, and ancient description of Herbs, and following Avicenna and others, are fallen into such Darkness, that if it be not checked in a few years, we shall know nothing of the ancient Practice of Physic.  
Here I should show the abuse of the whole Profession, and quote several Sayings out of Pliny, and other Ancients, in the behalf of simple Physic, made of Herbs and Roots; but I fear it will hinder my purpose.   

CHAP. XI. When the Composition of Herbs was first Invented.  
THE Composition of Herbs, Roots, Seeds, and Gums, did first begin in the days of King Mithridates and Andromachus, who first composed the Treacle, which, in the time of Pliny, was very ridiculous, and he in several places ridicules the same. This, in time, is grown more in Practice, till Galen; from Galen, to Avicenna, Mesue, and other Arabians, till it is arrived to the highest pitch, and followed by the most Learned Men; and he that could best mix hot and cold, dry and moist, sweet and sour, was the best Man, and that not only of the Production of our own Country, but of Arabia and India; for ours was of no Value.  
It is not against the Apothecaries and Doctors that we use common and experimented Physic; but for the Benefit of the Sick; for, Why should not our Herbs be as good as those brought out of Asia and Africa? How did we when they were not brought over? and, How is it that those who use that Physic least, live longest? and those who run to the Apothecary are commonly the sickest? Tho the strange Herbs are endued with more powerful Names, they are not fit for our Climate. Since God hath given us proper Wines and Fruits, and other Necessaries fit for Use, How is it that he gave us not Herbs agreeable to our Climate, that we might use them? but the contrary is true, and the true and simple Physic is easier to be had.  
Several have that growing in their Gardens, and tread under foot, which might preserve their Life; also, more Expenses are saved in the time of Sickness, which gains the Love of the People, who were commonly addicted to Herbs and Vegetables; and besides, the Compounds agree not with every Nature.   

CHAP. XII. Herophilus' Opinion of Herbs.  
THERE was a very Learned and Experienced Man among the Physicians, as may appear by Cornelius Celsus and Pliny. This Man's Opinion was, That all Diseases might be cured by Herbs, and many wonderful things effected; and those Herbs which we account most Vile, are endued with most Virtue; as Experience testifies.  
For, a Nobleman, as oft as he walked over a Plain where Esula grew, he was always seized with a Looseness: what Effect then may other Herbs have?  
The Magic of Albertus Magnus is not to be slighted, although he showed many Untruths, contrary to his Knowledge and Experience.   

CHAP. XIII. At what Seasons Herbs and Roots are to be gathered.  
IT is not enough that we take and use Herbs as they are described in the Herbals; but they must be gathered in their proper Season; for if this be neglected, the Herb will have but little Virtue, and may prove Antipathetick to the Distemper, and make the Disease worse.  
The Apothecaries, above all, should observe this particular, if they would rightly understand their Business.  
The Herbs, aught to be gathered, not only when the Heaven is clear, and the Wether fair; for in fair Wether there may happen a contrary Influence of Sol, Mars, and Jupiter; as will happen in April, 1698. when Sol comes to a square of Saturn, and Opposition of Jupiter, and Jupiter to a square of Saturn: And also the time of the Year must be observed; for some are sooner, some later in Perfection.  
The Age of the Herbs is likewise to be observed; some are to be gathered before they Blossom; some when in their Blossom; others when they begin to seed. By reason this Observation of Age, and Time, is by many neglected, and the true Time of the Influence not truly Calculated, they have committed great Mistakes; yea, some have described several Herbs, without their Stalks and Flowers, which, nevertheless, have both Stalks and Flowers, because they gave a Description of them before they had Flowers.  
The ancient Herbalists say, That whoever will gather Herbs and Roots, must have a perfect Knowledge of the Influence of the Heavens and Stars; and also know to what Planets the Herbs are subject, and under what Constellation they should be gathered, even to an Hour and Minute.  
These Observations (saith Otto Brunefells, a learned and experienced Physician, who lived 120 years since) the Ancients did punctually observe; and therefore they did more with the Herbs then, than we can do now. Marcilius Ficinus, above 150 years ago, in his third Book, hath writ of this; as also a very ancient Apothecary, in his Book called Nicholaus Proepositus' Dispensatory; in the which may be seen, how every Herb in particular aught to be gathered and prepared; and since these, many Eminent Physicians have written of the Heavenly Influences upon Herbs, but very imperfectly, and nothing worth.  
Flowers ought to be gathered before they begin to fall: Fruits, when they are ripe, and before they begin to drop: The Seeds, when they are dry, but before they begin to break.  
The Juice is to be expressed, when the Herbs are green and juicy, and their Stalk young; and also the Milk of Herbs, the sweeting Drops and Gums.   

CHAP. XIV. Where to keep your Herbs.  
THE Herbs must be cleaned from all their Dirt, and dried in the Shade, before they are put up: Some tie them in Bunches, and hang them by the Wall in their Houses: Some pull the Leaves, and put them into Bags to dry them: and if this be done, according to due Order and Knowledge, as well of the Season, Day, and Hour, when they are gathered, as also their Names, it is a very useful thing. You must take especial Care that your Chamber be very clean, that the Herbs lie not upon the Floor, nor rot, or grow mouldy, nor dirtied by Rats or Cats; but be kept as a precious Jewel.  
Flowers and sweet Herbs are to be kept in close Boxes, made of Lignum Tilioe, but so that they may keep their Scent, and not be musted.  
Seeds must be wrapped in Papers, to preserve them from Mould.  
All sorts of Fruits, as also Gums and Juices, must be kept in Silver, Tin, Glass, or Earthen Vessels. It is good to keep what belongs to the Eyes in Earthen Vessels; Fat and Marrows should be kept in Tin. Roots should be cut square, or round, washed clean, then stringed and dried. Wormwood, Hyssop, Savory, Southern-wood, French Lavender, and the like, must be gathered with their Seeds, and dried in the Shade.   

CHAP. XV. How long Herbs will hold good.  
HErbs usually hold good a Year, till they spring up afresh; some longer: Both Hellebores will keep good many years, Chamoeleon 40 years, Centaury 12 years, Hogs-Fenil 5 years, Birth-wort 6 years, Briony 1 year; but the most part lose their Virtue in 3 years; and those that are gathered in due Season last longest; Celandine keeps good 3 years, Enula 2 years.   

CHAP. XVI. Where the best Herbs grow.  
THE best Herbs grow on Mountains, and Wildernesses, in Plains, and places whereon the Sun shines most; but those less useful, in Gardens, and Shadowy places, and places Close; also in Moist Watery places, and Churchyards, etc. therefore the Wild ones are accounted better, and more durable than the Garden ones; some Herbs are esteemed according to their Country, as Iris of Illyria, and Macedonia, Cyprus rotundus of Silicia and Syria, Saffron of Coriceum, Lyceum and Cyrene; all these things are carefully noted by Dioscorides and Pliny.   

CHAP. XVII. With what Ceremonies, and in what Seasons, the Old Pagans gathered their Herbs.  
THE old Pagans took great care to gather their Herbs in due Season, calling upon the Spirits and Idols all the while: These Herbs had great Virtue, not from the Invocation of the Spirits and Idols, but the Devil had (by God Almighty's Permission over the Pagans) such Power, as to lead them into these Superstitious Ceremonies, which we Christians do not believe; for God, by his ordinary Means, can do more than the Devil; for if we loved God, and firmly Believed in him, there would be no occasion for Ceremonies and other things, but, like Moses, we might Act, who, with a piece of Wood, made Bitter waters Sweet; and as Elias and Elizaeus, who corrected poisonous Victuals with a little Flour, and also made Iron swim upon the Water; and as the Apostles, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, with the Use of the Oil of Olives only, cured many Diseases. Thus much might we do at this time with our Herbs and Roots.  
When the Pagans digged the Root of Tapsum, they anointed their Bodies with Oil of Olives; they chose calm Wether, otherwise their whole Body would swell.  
When they gathered the Dog-Thistle, they turned off the Wind from the place, lest their Eyes should be damaged.  
Some sorts of Roots they gathered before Sun-rise: But Roots under the Government of Sol, they gathered when the Sun was in the Ascendant, or Mid-Heaven; for than he hath a stronger Influence on Natural things, than in any other House.  
When they dug Hellebore, they drew a Circle with a Naked Sword, and the Person who dug it turned his Face to the Sunrising, and said a short Prayer, desiring that some lucky Bird might appear to him. But when the Eagle appeared too near to him, it fore-showed his Death, (they frequenting those places where they dig Hellebore:) but the said Digger must first have eaten Garlic, and drank Wine, before he take out the Root.  
Peony Root they digged by Night, for fear the Merula (the Guardian of that Root) should pick out the Eyes of the Digger.  
They also provided against the Hawk and Sparrow-Hawk, when they gathered the Ague Herb.  
The Root Panax, otherwise Asclepeia, could not be digged before they had made an Offering of several Fruits, and flung them into the Earth; and after they had made three Circles with a two-edged Sword, they dug it out.  
Mandrake was also three times encircled with a Sword, the Digger turned himself to the West, and danced round the Circles, and uttered several Words, not fit here to be mentioned.  
To dig Iris was a great Labour; for (for three Months before they dug it) they sprinkled the Earth about it with Honey-water, as Priests do the Sepulchers in Church-Yards with Holy-Water; for, by such Sprinkling, they thought they moved the Earth to Peace; then they made several Circles about it with a Sword, and took out the Root, and held it up to the Heavens; but in all this time the Digger must keep himself chaste.  
When they dug Polium, they built a shade about it, because it then yielded more Power and Virtue to the Bearer.  
They who burned Pitch, while they were employed in Melting, offered, and prayed that their Work might succeed well.  
Scribonius Largus tells more wonderful things of Verbena; for when that Herb is first found, they must make a Circle about it with their left Ear, and also lay down some Fruits to it, and the next day, before Sun-rise, they must take the Herb away with their Lefthand.  
The Herb Scolopendria, is esteemed very prevalent to Women in Labour, especially if it be hung about the Neck with the Spleen of a Mule; but this Herb must be dug in the Night, when the Moon is in the Mid-Heaven. Of this you may read more in Theophrastus, Pliny, Dioscorides, Apuleius, and others.  
But such natural Seasons and Ceremonies as we Christians use, are at large described in the Third Instruction, at the End of this Book.   

CHAP. XVIII. Of the Nature and Operation of the Herbs of Saturn.  
PAstinaca, or Parsnip. If you take this Herb in an Antipathetick Influence of Saturn, and bruise it with your Hands, and out of spite lay it to a Man's Face when he sweats, it will presently cause the Leprosy; for that Saturnine Spirit that goes out of the Herb, and passeth into your Body with your Breath, presently causeth the Leprosy. I do not tell this to encourage Mischief; but to show the Harmony of Heavenly and Earthly Bodies. Therefore I will not describe the Antipathetick Influence of the Planets, by which much Mischief may be done: but the Sympathetick and useful Influence of the Planets, which I have Calculated with great Pains, Time, and Expenses; as you may find in my Fourth Instruction following.  
If this Saturnine Herb, Pastinaca, be cut up with a piece of Lead, sharp hard Wood, piece of an Ox's Bone, or other Saturnine thing, according to the Influence of Saturn, demonstrated in my Fourth Instruction, it is an infallible Remedy against the Leprosy, and other Saturnine Diseases: Although some Herbs are more esteemed than others, yet, by the Influences, they may be exalted to an equal dignity, if they are gathered, as directed, in a strong Sympathetical Influence.  
Staphisagria, sive Consiligo, or Staves-Acre; with the Root of this Herb a Man may catch Wolves and Foxes; and if you dig it according to direction, it preserves those that wear it about their Neck from the Plague and Pestilence.  
Saxifragia being carried about the Neck, preserves from the poisonous Plague: It is also excellent against the Pains in the Privities, if it be gathered, according to direction, in a Saturnine Influence.  
Wolf-bane. This Herb is of so quick and poisonous a Nature, that it kills Wolves. Those that use it fall into Swooning-fits; for the Saturnal Spirit which is hid in the Herb, is an Enemy to the Heart, and (as a Solar Member) doth mightily disturb the same. If the Genitals of a Man be rubbed with it, it will kill him; but if it be gathered in an Antipathetick Influence of Saturn and Sol, and hanged about the Neck twice, when one is taken off, another hanged on, it cures Poisons, and all Saturnine Diseases.  
Filix, or Fern. In this Herb the Spirit of Saturn is very abundant, therefore it is especially used in the Magical Art; it casts forth its Seed before it is completely ripe, because of the great power of Saturn; and its Nature shows Barrenness. If Men use it, it makes them Impotent. If it be hanged about a Woman's Neck with the Spleen of an Ass, it makes her Barren; because Saturn and Venus are Enemies; from whence proceeds Barrenness.  
Hyosciamus, or Henbane. This Herb taken inwardly causeth Sleep, and by its occult, Saturnine, Poisonous Sulphur, it makes Men as if they were Possessed of the Devil; and Quarrelsome, as if they were Drunk. Hence saith Scribonius, He who takes it is deprived of his Senses, and is always Quarrelsome; the Cause of which, is the poisonous Antipathetick Constellation of Saturn.  
Frangula, sive Arbor foetida, or Alder-Tree, delights to grow in shadowy Woods, and moist Places, therefore it is subject to Saturn. If it be used in the Influence of Saturn, it is excellent in all old Sores, and poisonous Ulcers.  
Personatia, seu Lappa major, or Burdock, delights to grow in dark moist Places, and is subject to Saturn. If this Root be gathered in the Influence of Saturn, 'tis an excellent Remedy against the Toothache; for it hath in its self an excellent cooling Saturnal Salt, which takes away the Pain.  
Muscus, or Moss. This delights in thick Woods and Trees, and Rocks, where the Sun cannot come. It hath a dry and slupifying Taste, and is subject to Saturn. If it be gathered in the Influence of Saturn, and boiled in a Lee, it prevents the falling off of the Hair, by washing the Head with it: It also fastens loose Teeth, and by its Astringent and Styptic nature often stops the Blood in Wounds.  
Helleborus niger, or Black Hellebore: This commonly uses to blossom about Christmas; the best of it is digged in High Mountains, as Saturnine Places, in the Influence of Saturn. It's Virtue is wonderful to Mankind, especially to Persons betrothed, and those who carry it about their Neck live to grow very old, as Saturn in a good Aspect with Jupiter gives long Life. It is also good against external Saturnine, Poisonous Diseases.  
Scolopendrion, or Spleen-wort. This represents the Spleen in Men; it grows without Seed, in dark, woody Places, where the Sun cannot come; for all dark, gloomy Places, are subject to Saturn, all Darkness being caused by Saturn and his Stars; therefore, if it be gathered in the Influence of Saturn, it expels cold, Saturnine Phlegm wonderfully.  
Tamariscus, or Tamarisk, loves shadowy Places, not much exposed to the Sun: It loseth its Seed, like the Willow, before it is ripe, and is subject to Saturn, appropriated to the Spleen, because of its Planet; therefore if it be gathered in the Influence of Saturn, it is prevalent against the Spleen. Pliny saith, That the Wine, in which the Coals of Tamarisk are quenched, cures the Spleen.  
Savine is found in thick dark Woods, and therefore is subject to Saturn; the leaves powdered in the Influence of Saturn, and put into old Ulcers is excellent good. The Sorcerers make much use of this Herb; for all Saturnine Vegetables are of that Nature, that if they are gathered in an Antipathetical Influence of Saturn, they bring all manner of mischief to Mankind.  
Sena is subject to Saturn, it expels out of the Body all Saturnine Phlegm, purifies the Blood, helps the sickly Spleen, and takes away the Quartan; 'tis excellent for such as are troubled with a malignant Saturnine Spirit in the Head.  
Radix Capparis, or Capers, loves dry and Sandy places, and where Rubbish is; it opens the Bladder, expels Urine, breaks the Stone in the Bladder, and expels the same; it opens the stoppage of the Spleen, and pacifies all Melancholy Swellings.  
Ruta, or Rue. This, by its subtle Virtue which it hath from the Stars, if it be gathered in a good Influence of Saturn, resists all Poisons, and is an excellent remedy in the time of the Plague, and because the Plague is not only occasioned by Saturn, you must therefore use with it Martial and Solar herbs, but not mixed with them; of which you may see more in the 20 and 21 Chapters.  
Rue expels Melancholy, and refreshes the Heart oppressed with the same, and is a useful Remedy in a Quartan, because the same is chiefly occasioned by Saturn, and therefore people subject to Saturn are cured by it. Nature in this Herb hath conjoined the Sun and Saturn, for if Rue and Sage be pounded together with Vinegar and bound upon the Pulse, it cureth the Fever: you may further take Notice, that this Herb resists all Witchcraft, occasioned by Saturn, for Saturn is Lord of all Witchcraft, but Sol opposes this Virtue in this Herb, as its Signature in its little knob shows.  
Polypodium, or Polypody of the Oak, is found in desert and dark Places, as also about the Rocks; it is subject to Saturn, and is good against the Black Jaundice, Melancholy, and Quartan; it takes away heavy Dreams, occasioned by the black Saturnal humidity.  
Bursa Pastoris, or Pouchweed. It's Substance and Signature shows it to be subject to Saturn, for the hour of its springing up was when Saturn was in the Sixth House, and is good for the swelling of the Yard, when the Antipathetick Directions of Saturn and Venus begin; this Herb, as also another Venereal Herb, gathered in good time, and hung about the Neck, is good against the same Disease.  
Salix, or Willow, is appropriated to Saturn and Venus, because of its abounding Saturnine humidity which in time falls away, and therefore loseth its Seed before it is Ripe; here Nature gives to understand, that if this Seed be used Antipathetically, it causeth Barrenness. An Oil made of the same by Chemical Art, in the Antipathetical Influence of Saturn and Venus, and anoint the Secrets with it, it takes away all Venereal desire.  
Solanum, or Nightshade, grows not only in shady and moist Places, but also in the highest Mountains, and is subject to Saturn and Luna. It hath a peculiar Virtue to cause Sleep, the Leaves of it laid upon the Head, take away all Pains proceeding from Heat, by reason of its cold nature: It is also good for all inward and outward Inflammations.  
Cassutha, sive Coscuta, Dodder, or Woodbine, loves to grow in fat Grounds, and is subject to Saturn and Jupiter, as his Signature shows, and is good against the Stoppage of the Muscles and Veins, and, by its penetrating Virtue, all Diseases of the Liver, as also the Yellow-Jaundice and Dropsy.  
Agnus Castus takes away all Venereal Appetites.  
Angelica is subject to Saturn, and expels all Saturnine Diseases.  
Salvia, or Sage, is subject to Saturn and Jupiter.  
Oxylapathum, or sharp-pointed Dock, delights in shady and mountainous Places, and therefore is subject to Saturn.  
Atriplex, or Arrach, is also under Saturn, and grows in nasty Places; it makes those that take it pale, and augments the Black Gall.  
Apium, or Smallage, is also subject to Saturn; the Worms that are found in the Stalks of Apium, whoever eats of them are Barren.  
Cupressus, or Cypress, is found in high Mountains. They blacken Hair by the Saturnine Colour.  
Cannabis, or Hemp, is also a Saturnal Herb; he who useth much of this Seed grows Barren, and at last Mad.  
Coscuta, or Dodder, loves to grow in dark places, where the Sun doth not come: It makes Hair very long, and opens the hard Spleen.  
Here you must take Notice, That all Saturnal Herbs must be gathered in those Days and Hours when Saturn is strong. How it is to be done, you may see further in the Fourth Instruction, of the First Cure of the Influences: But you may always begin half or an hour before; but the Herb must always be gathered at that time which I have directed.   

CHAP. XIX. The Explanation of some Jovial Herbs, and their Influence in general.  
CLove-gilli-flowers are a Jovial Vegetable, and, according to their Nature, love temperate Places; the Root of them drawn by the Oil of Sugar, strengthens the Liver, cleanses and augments the Blood, and refreshes all Natural Spirits because of its Jovial Spirit. It quenches the Heat in hot Fevers, and restores lost Strength.  
Cerasa, or Cherries, are also subject to the Influence of Jupiter. They cleanse and augment the Blood; they are opening and cooling in the Inflammation of the Liver; they are good for such as are troubled with the Yellow-Jaundice, and an Extract made of the same in a due time of Jupiter, is good in hot Fevers; for it not only cools the Blood, but pacifies inflamed Spirits.  
Strawberries are also Jovial, and have the same Virtue with the Cherries: They refresh the Blood, and are good in the Yellow-Jaundice.  
Balsamita, or Costmary, loves to grow towards the East, the Jovial Spirits being most copious in temperate Places: It cures all outward and inward Diseases, if you can get it: Outwardly applied toward the Liver, it refresheth the same wonderfully; and because the Liver, and also all Natural Spirits in Men, are of a Jovial Nature, therefore by Jovial Herbs they are strengthened and preserved.  
Oleastrum, or Wild-Olive: This, with its whole Substance, is Jovial, because all things that are of an Oily Substance are commonly subject to Jupiter.  
Betonica, or Betony, loves to grow in Fat ground, and is of the Nature of Jupiter, therefore it cleanseth the Blood in Men, because the Blood is subject to Jupiter, and consumes all its gross humidity; it strengthens the Liver, and opens its obstructions; it cures the Yellow Jaundice and Dropsy; if you use with it an Herb of the Sun or Moon, it resists Witchcraft, for the Jovial & Solar Herbs have a peculiar Virtue against Witchcraft; it likewise heals all Wounds and Ulcers.  
Linum, or Flax, loves a temperate Soil, and is of a Fat and Oily substance, subject to Saturn and Jupiter; its Seed is excellent for a Consumption, it mollifies and ripens all hard swellings of the Liver, when it is used in the time of Jupiter, and outwardly applied.  
Centaurium, or Centaury, shows by its light coloured Flower, that it is of a Jovial and Martial Nature; it hath by Nature a Sulphureous Salt, as the Gall hath in Men; therefore it is of a Bitterish Taste, and hath a particular hidden Virtue to cure the stop-page of the Gall, and expel out of the Stomach the Yellow-Jaundice, Fever, and Gall; it is also an excellent Wound-Herb because of its Jovial Nature.  
Berberries are of a Red Colour, and subject to Jupiter and Mars; for they grow upon prickly Thorns, who, by their signature, represent Mars. Out of this Fruit is prepared an Excellent Medicine for the Swelling of the Throat, cooling the Inflammation of the Liver, and taking away the painful Heat of the Stomach.  
Caryophyllata, sive Herba benedicta, or Avens, is as well a Solar as a Jovial Vegetable; it hath its yellow Flowers of the Sun, to which Jupiter of himself can give no Colour. It smells like Cloves, and is therefore called Caryophyllata in Latin. It strengthens the Heart, opens the Liver, and strengthens the Stomach, because it is Jovial.  
Persicaria, or Arsmart, delights to grow in Ditches and moist Places, and is of a Jovial and Lunar Nature: It expels the Podagra, if it be gathered in a strong Influence, and applied with the Herbs of Saturn and Mars, to the Breast, Arms, and Knees.  
Lychnis Coronaria, seu Rosa mariana, or Campane Rose, is subject to Jupiter, because of its light coloured Flowers: It refreshes the Liver and Blood, and is useful to those who labour under the Leprosy and Pox: It heals Wounds by Virtue of its Jovial and Heavenly Influence.  
Fumaria, or Fumitory, hath a light, red Flower, but a bitter and unpleasant Taste, is of a Jovial and Saturnine Nature, as its Taste shows: It hath in it an Earthy Sulphur, therefore it is bitter, and is good for the Liver, as it is subject to Jupiter, and opens the same. It cures the Yellow-Jaundice and Dropsy, and cleanseth the Blood, which belongs to Jupiter, especially if it be gathered on a Thursday, in the hour of Jupiter, and he well aspected, as you may see in the Months.  
Tucrinum, or Orpin, represents Jupiter, by its signature, hath a bitter Taste, proceeding from the Sulphureal Salt it hath in it: It opens Obstructions of the Liver, by its Jovial Nature; it cleanses the Blood, and expels all malignant Humidity by Sweat.  
Verbascum, or Mullein, is subject to Jupiter and Sol; for all the yellow Colours in Vegetables come from Sol. It is the best Herb that can be found for Healing of Wounds, because of its Jovial Nature, and is very useful to them who spit Blood, by reason of a broken Vein in the Lungs. The Root, as also other Jovial and Saturnal Herbs, gathered in a due Influence, (as is specified in the Months) and every one put into a bag by themselves, of their own Colour, and hung about the Neck, cure the Cough and Consumption. It also helps those that are troubled with Vapours of the Stomach, and Shortness of Breath. If a Man holds this Root in his Hand, it stops Bleeding, and cures the Bites of Scorpions; it resists all Poison, by the Virtue of Jupiter and Sol, who both resist Poison.  
Consolida, or Comfrey, loves a fat Soil, hath a clammy Root, and is subject to Jupiter, therefore it is prevalent in all Distempers of the Lungs, as also in Spitting of Blood.  
Origanum, or Wild-Marjoram, is subject to Jupiter; it smells like Galangal, which is also of the Nature of Jupiter, and is an excellent Herb against Theft and Witchcraft, if it be gathered when Jupiter is well aspected, and strong, though with this Caution, that the Spirits do not return to the Earth; if it be so gathered, it preserves the Bearers from all Peril, and makes them fortunate. If it be hung in a House, it preserves it from all Robberies and Witchcraft.  
Betula, or Birch-Tree, is as well by Form, as Taste, subject to Jupiter, therefore, by its Jovial Nature, it is excellent in all Obstructions of the Liver, and Yellow-Jaundice; it is also good in the Consumption of the Liver. If in the Influence of Jupiter you cut the Branches of Betula, growing Eastward, where the Spirits of Jupiter are most powerful, being hung in Chambers, they are very useful; for the Jovial Spirits exhaling out of the Betula, and attracted by the Breath, penetrates presently, as all Jovials do, Jupiter having a peculiar Virtue to open the same. It's power is also great in Mad and Possessed People, because of the hidden Jovial Spirit, and such Effects have their Original from these three, Saturn, Luna, and Mercury, and those who have in their Nativity a Conjunction or Opposition of Saturn and Mercury, and Mars coming to it with a Direction, such Persons, when the Direction falls, are of a base and devilish Nature; therefore such Persons must be cured with Solar and Jovial Herbs; but especially with such, as are subject to the Dominion of both Planets.  
Chamoepetys', seu Iva, or Ivy, is subject to Jupiter, and hath a subtle Salt in it, and also a Sulphur; therefore it is excellent against the Gout and Sciatica, for both these Pains proceed from a Tartar that clings to the Veins and Muscles.  
Amygdalus, or Almond-Tree, delights in a fat Soil, and is subject to Jupiter and Venus; the Fruit of it strengthens the Liver, makes a pure Blood, and gives good Nutriment, according to the Nature of all Jovial things and Vegetables; for all Creatures which have a delicious Taste, are of a Jovial and Venereal Nature. They are good in a Consumption, for they bring the Body into good Order, and refresh the Liver.  
Ruba domestica, or Blackberries, are of a Jovial and Martial Nature, and are used for all inward and outward Ruptures; for they disperse clotted Blood, because Jupiter and Mars are joined in this Herb, all Ruptures being occasioned by Mars; so that they who have in their Nativity a Conjunction of Mars and Luna in the sixth or eighth House, ill aspected by Saturn, commonly are Bursten, because the noxious Planet conjoins himself with the Planet of the Omentum and Bowels.  
Prunella, or Self-heal, is Jovial and Mercurial. It is good in all Boils, and Sores in the Throat, and, by its Jovial Virtue, cures all inward Ruptures, and outward Wounds.  
Rhubarb is of a Jovial and Saturnine Nature; its Signature shows it to be excellent against the stopping of the Liver, and Muscles leading to it, both which are subject to Jupiter. It expels the Gall, and cures the Yellow-Jaundice.  
Lysimachia, or Loosestrife, if it be gathered in a strong Influence of Jupiter, it causes the Bearer to be Beloved, and well accepted wherever he comes; if it be flung among quarrelling Persons, it will make them Friends; for by the subtle and hidden Jovial Spirit of this Herb, (which is directly contrary to Mars) all Martial Effects are presently extinguished.  
Bugloss and Borage, are both subject to Jupiter in Aquary, the House of Saturn. They clean the Blood from the Black Gall, and refresh the Mind.  
Wheat loves a pleasant, temperate Soil, and because of its Jovial Nature, nourishes and augments the Blood.   

CHAP. XX. Of the Operation and Nature of Martial Herbs.  
NEttles are subject to Mars, because of their hot and burning Nature; for all that Prick and Burn are subject to this Planet, which is the hottest of all; also all hot Creatures are subject to him. The Leaves of the Nettles mollify and dissolve all Swellings, both of the Spleen, and other Members. The Seed gathered in a good and strong Influence of Mars, keeps the Bearer from all Wounds that come from Quarrels and Blows; but if they are gathered in an undue Season, their Operation is contrary.  
Thistles of all sorts, by their Prickles show that they are all Martial. Their Seeds and Roots are useful in the Pleurisy. The Seeds of Thistles, gathered in due Season, stop the Bloodyflux, and the Whites.  
Resta bovis, or Restharrow, is Martial and Jovial: It opens the Obstructions of Liver and Gall, and cures the Yellow-Jaundice and Stone. If this be gathered in two several Influences of Mars and Jupiter, and each severally hung about the Neck, it preserves the Bearer from the Power of his Enemies and Murderers.  
Esula, seu Tithymallus, or lesser Spurge, is subject to Saturn and Mars, because of his burning and biting Nature and Virtue; (for all yellow Colours in Vegetables have their Original from Sol) and is very powerful in all hard Swellings of the Spleen.  
Rhamnus, or Buckthorn, is in the Martial Row; for all things that are Rough, Sharp, Prickly, and Burning, and do grow in dry Places, are subject to Mars, if they are gathered in due Season, and hanged about the Neck, serve against all Martial Sicknesses and Diseases.   

CHAP. XXI. Of the Nature and Virtue of the Solar Herbs.  
SAffron is a Solar Herb, and delights in Places where the Sun shines all day long; out of the same may be extracted, in the Influence of the Sun, an excellent Eye-Water; for the Eyes are subject to the Sun. He who in his Nativity hath an Opposition of Saturn and Sol, hath but weak Eyes, and great Pains in them, which are cured by Saturnal and Solar Medicines. When the central Sol is strengthened by the Spiritual Influence of the Celestial, it resists by its occult, Solar Virtue all Poisons, and together with Saturnal and Martial Herbs, it is an excellent Remedy against the Plague.  
Carthamus, or Wild-Saffron, grows upon Gold-bearing Mountains, from whence it attracts such a strong Solar Spirit, that it colours Tin and Silver, as if they were Gilded.  
Mala citria, or Lemons, are of a Solar Nature, and love to grow in a hot Ground, and in Places where the Sun shines most: They have a particular Inclination to the Heart, in which Sol hath a particular Dominion; they strengthen and refresh the same, augment also the Vital Spirits, and clear them: These, with other Martial things, resist powerfully all Poison: They preserve the Heart, which is the Fountain of Life; the Juice must be expressed in the Influence of Sol, and the Seed put into a yellow Bag of Taffeta, and dipped into the Juice, and applied to the Breast.  
Laurus, or Bay-Tree, is subject to the Sun, therefore by its subtle Celestial Virtue, together with Martial Vegetables, it resists Poison; its Signature shows that it is an excellent Remedy against the Bites of all Poisonous Animals. The Leaves of it put into unwholesome Water make it wholesome.  
The Vine is subject to Sol, and delights to grow where the Sun shines most: It augments the Solar, Vital Spirits, and refreshes them; strengthens the Heart, and expels all Melancholy occasioned by Saturn.  
Enula is of a Solar Nature, and delights in pleasant and Sun-shiny Places. The Tincture of the Flower extracted with the Oil of Sugar, in the Influence of Sol, is an excellent Remedy for the Eyes, it sharpens the Sight mightily: It is also good for those that have a Cough; for it dissolves the Phlegm in the Breast, and expels it by its Solar Virtue.  
Hypericon, or St. Johns-wort, is subject to the Sun and Jupiter, loves to grow in pleasant places; it cleanseth Wounds powerfully, and heals them, and is good against inward bruises of the Veins; it stops spitting of Blood, occasioned by a broken Artery; for all Jovial Herbs are of a healing Nature, therefore may be applied to Wounds: If it be gathered in two several Influences, as of the Sun and Jupiter, it expels all poisonous and putrefied Moisture, according to the Nature of Jovial and Solar things: It resists all Putrefaction by its Solar Virtue; therefore it expels all Worms, which have their Original from Futrefaction.  
Fraxinus, or Ash-Tree. It strengthens the Heart by its Solar Virtue, and with Jovial and Saturnal things it resists Poison. The Juice of this Tree applied in the Influence to the poisonous Bitings of Serpents cures them. Drinking Vessels made of this Wood make those Merry who drink out of them. It expels all Saturnal Spirits by Antipathy, and strengthens all Vital, Solar Spirits by Sympathy. Hence it is excellent good for all Melancholy People.  
Melissa, or Balm, belongs to the Sun and Jupiter. It hinders the Putrefaction of the Lungs and Liver; it preserves Youth, and defends Old Age: It hath also many more Virtues, because of its Solar Influence.  
Flos Solis, or Sun-Flower, is an excellent Herb for the Eyes; if the Flowers be gathered in the Influence of Jupiter, they give the Bearer a special Authority by their Solar, occult Virtue.  
Rosemary is subject to Sol and Mercury, and by the Virtue of such Constellation, it augments the Solar, Vital Spirits, as also the Animal Spirits that are of a Mercurial Nature. It strengthens the Brain and Heart, and cures all Colds in the Head, as also Apoplexy and Frenzy: It likewise resists all Putrefaction.  
Corona Imperialis, or Tulip, hath all the Virtues of Rosemary.   

CHAP. XXII. Of the Virtue and Force of Venereal Herbs.  
SAtyrion Roots are subject to Venus, therefore by their Signature they signify the Testicles, and other Venereal parts; they augment the Sperm, and cause an inclination to Venereal Acts.  
All sorts of Lilies are subject to Venus, but especially the white; for the white colour in Vegetables belongs to Venus; the other coloured Lilies participate of Venus' and other Planets influences; the Roots of white Lilies gathered in the influence of the Moon and Venus, make the Bearer acceptable among Women; the water of white Lilies clears the Face, and takes away all spots of the Skin.  
Lilium Convallium, or Lily of the Valley, loves moist places, and is subject to Venus and Luna, being an excellent Remedy against the Epilepsy, Frenzy, and Apoplexy, and other Diseases; for the Celestial Moon fortifies the Terrestrial in Men by its Spiritual power and virtue; it strengthens the Brain, and cures all Lunary Diseases.  
Narcissus, or Daffodil, is subject to Venus; the Roots of it, together with other proper things, augment the Sperm; the water of it clears the Skin and Face; for Venus is Lady of all that is Beautiful, and all handsome Creatures are subject to her, and receive their Beauty from her.  
Flores Nymphoe, or Water Lilies, grow in Water, and therefore are subject to Venus and Sol; they cure the Swellings of the Privities, and extinguish all extravagant and lustful desires to Venus; if they be mixed with Saturnal Herbs, they cool the Inflammation of the Liver; and if they be mixed with other proper things, they cure the Hectic Fever and Pleurisy; they also clear the Face.  
Rosa, or Rose, is for the most part of a Venereal Nature; it cures the Swellings of the Yard, and is excellent in stopping the Red and White Fluxes of Women, and makes them apt to Conceive.  
Ficus, or Fig, is of a Venereal and Jovial Nature, therefore its Fruit is Sweet and Delicious, which increases the Venereal Appetite.  
Mala Mustica, or Sweet Apples, belong also to Venus, and have the same Effects as the Figs.  
Hyacinthus, or Hyacinth, is Venereal, but for the most part of a Solar Nature: It makes the Bearer have an especial Love and Favour among Ladies of Quality; for Ladies are subject to this Planet. The Juice of the Root rubbed on the Skin prevents all growings of Hair.   

CHAP. XXIII. Of the Nature and Virtue of Mercurial Herbs.  
CHamomilla, or Chamomil, is Mercurial, because of its manifold Colours; it loves dry and sandy Places, and is good for many things. It disperses all Winds and Swellings in the Body; it fortifies by the Mercurial Virtue the Animal Spirits, especially if you make a Lee of them, and wash the Head with the same: If it be mixed and used with other proper things, it opens all inward Obstructions, and ripens the Sores of the Lungs.  
Aquilegia, or Celandine, hath Sky-coloured and yellow Flowers, and is subject to Mercury. It is good for all Swellings of the Lungs and Sides, as also for all inward Hurts, for the Lungs and Sides are subject to Jupiter, therefore it ripens all the Swellings of the same: It opens the Obstruction of the Liver, and its Seed is good in the Yellow-Jaundice.  
Faboe, or Beans, have Flowers of divers Colours, are subject to Mercury and Saturn. The use of them makes a thick and melancholy Blood subject to Saturnal Diseases. They create great, windy Swellings, and by their gross Nature they stupefy the Spirits, and obstruct the subtle Vital ones. The Smell of the Flowers ascends into the Head, disquiets and dulls the Brains; therefore those who are Born in an Antipathetick Conjunction of Saturn and Mercury, are commonly sottish, and at last lose their Senses; but if the Conjunction or Direction of Saturn be Sympathetical, those that are Born at that time have a quick Wit, but a stammering Tongue, as hath been proved by several Persons who have had the same Direction.  
Bellis, or Daisy, is subject to Mercury and Venus, because of its various coloured Flowers, which consist of a very humid Salt, ex librâ & Mercuriali humiditate aquea. It is good for those that are subject to Passion, because it takes away the Gall without damaging the Liver. It is excellent in the Gout; for by its subtle Salt it resolves and takes away the Tartar which causeth this Pain. The distilled Water takes away the Swellings of the Throat, and Blisters of the Tongue, as being Mercurial parts.  
Trifolium, or Treyfoil, is of a Mercurial Nature, therefore the Bees, which are of a Mercurial and Solar Nature, love this Herb, and take most of their Honey out of it.  
All Friendship amongst Creatures proceeds from an Heavenly Harmony; for it often happens, that Strangers, who have never seen each other before, love one the other, because in their Nativity they have had the same Signs ascending. Experience testifies, that Snakes do not love those Places where Treyfoil grows: And History saith, That in the Island Malta there are no Snakes, because several sorts of Treyfoil grow there.  
Trifolium Odoratum, or Treacle Claver, is subject to Mercury, therefore its Scent is strongest, when Mercury hath a strong Influence; and its strong Scent often foretells Rainy Wether; so do almost all sorts of Treyfoil; for when it begins to Rain, it declines its Head to the Ground, as if it were ready to shrink up; it is good for the Brains and all Animal Spirits, for it strengthens and augments the same by its Spiritual Mercurial Virtue, and is good against the Epilepsy; it takes away the Colic, expels Urine, and resists all Poison.  
Juniperus, or Juniper, is in its whole Nature subject to Mercury, and in him is the whole Mercurial Monarchy: Out of it (by Chemical Art) is Extracted excellent Remedies in the time of Mercury, against the Dropsy, Stone, Colic, Poison, Plague, Coughing, Gout, and many other Diseases, as experience will show; by its Scent and Shadow it makes Snakes fly.  
walnuts are Mercurial, but a little subject to the Moon; they represent the Brains by their Lunar Physiognomy, for the Brains are subject to Luna; therefore the Nuts, if rightly used, fortify the Brain, and augment the Animal Spirits. Out of the Root of this Tree is made a strong Vomit; the Juice of the green Shells of the Nuts, is good against Inflammations and swellings of the Throat.  
Hasel-Nuts are also Mercurial; therefore the Squirrels (who are subject to Mercury) love the Tree and its Fruit. The Misseltoe of it strengthens the Brains.  
Sambucus, or Elder-Tree, is wholly Mercurial, therefore out of it are prepared many useful Medicines, especially for the Brain, and its Diseases, as also for Dropsies and Fevers. Out of the Stones of the Berries, by Chemical Art, and help of the Influence of Mercury, is prepared an excellent Oil against the Gout. Elder cures as many Sicknesses as it hath parts.  
Bistorta, or Snake-weed, is excellent for the Lungs, because of its Mercurial Nature. It is also excellent against the Cough.  
Pulmonaria, or Lung-wort, is Mercurial; for it represents, by its Signature, the Lungs. Saturn also claims a small share of it. It is excellent good for the Distempers of the Lungs.  
Anisum, or Anise, is also under the Influence of Mercury. It strengthens the Brains, helps the Lungs, takes away the Cough and Phlegm from the Breast, and is good for the Hectic, and opens the Obstructions of the Bowels.  
Cubeboe, or Cubebs, are Mercurial and Lunar. They strengthen the Brain, which belongs to Luna, and fortify and subtilise the Animal Spirits. They strengthen the Memory, if they be used early in the Morning, else, by their superfluous use, they bring damage to the Brains.  
Marjorana, or Marjoram, is also Mercurial. It augments the Animal Spirits, and is good in the Lethargy. It's Oil strengthens the Nerves, and is of excellent use, as well inward as outward.  
Note, That the most Mercurial Herbs are also subject to other Planets; for if he joins with another Planet, he may be good or bad. He strengthens their Influence; for Mercury is like Proteus, who makes use of all Shapes.   

CHAP. XXIV. Of the Nature and Virtue of Lunar Herbs.  
CAulis capitatus, or Colly-Flower, loves moist Places; it abounds with Juice; is subject to Luna, and by its Signature it represents the Head. If eaten, it causeth Vapours in the Head, and makes it moist, because of Luna, who hath Dominion over it, especially if it be boiled with Onions, for it hath a Lunar Poison in it. It fills the whole Body with Moisture, as all Lunar Herbs do. It is not very noxious to those who are plagued with the Gall, and have a very hot Stomach. Those who are of a cold Nature ought not to use it, lest, by its Lunar Humidity, it should cause a Dropsy: But the inward parts taken with the Seed in the Lunar Influence, cure the Dropsy, and other Lunar Sicknesses.  
Brassica, or Cole-wort, is better than the Leaves. It is of a Lunar and Jovial Nature: It makes a clear Blood, but the Herb of it makes no good Blood, but occasions a watery Humidity, very good, or very bad, as the Moon is influenced: It moistens the Liver, and prevents the Inflammations, as also the Obstructions; therefore it is an excellent Diet for those that are troubled with the Colic and Yellow-Jaundice, for it corrects the Gall, and takes away its adust Phlegm, by gently Purging, and keeping the Body open. The distilled Water is good in the Yellow-Jaundice.  
Melons and Pompkins represent the Head of Men, and delight in moist Places, (are subject to Luna) as all Lunars do. The distilled Water is good in hot Fevers; it extinguisheth all Heat, and Inflammations; it quencheth the Thirst by its Lunar Humidity; it pacifieth the Headache, occasioned by the disorder of the Brains, and is good for those who are troubled with a hot, burning Stomach. If they are eaten in an undue Season, and too plentifully, they disturb the Stomach, and occasion the Reds and Whites, as Lunar Sicknesses.  
Garlic and Onions are subject to Luna and Mars, therefore if the Roots hang in the Moonshine, they seem fiery. If they are taken in an undue Season, they cause a Lethargy, trouble the Animal Spirits, and fill the Head with a subtle, Lunar, poisonous Vapour; but if they are corrected, they strengthen the Stomach, and the Seed of it gathered in two several Influences of Luna and Mars, resists all Poison.  
Mandrake is poisonous, loves humid and shady Places, is subject to Luna and Saturn: It hath a Narcotick and Anodyne Virtue, therefore when a Member is to be cut off. the Physicians use it; for it takes away all Senses. The Fruit of it taken and eaten in an undue Season causes Obstructions of the Spleen, Leprosy, Headache, Melancholy, and Quartan, because of its Poison; but if it be gathered in a due Influence of Saturn and Luna, it cures all Madness, and Melancholy; for it takes away the malignant, Saturnal and Lunar Humidity, by the Roots.  
Papaver, or Poppy, is of a Lunar Nature; by its Signature it is subject to Luna; if it be gathered in a due Influence of Luna, it is very good for the Head; if it be taken in an undue Season, it cools the Head, and moistens it too much. It is good for the Epilepsy, occasioned by hot Vapours, causes Sleep, and is therefore mixed among the Narcotick Unguents.  
Wild-Poppies are subject to Luna and Jupiter, because of their Lunar, cooling Virtue, and their Jovial Spirit. They are good for the Inflammation of the Liver, and Blood, and purify the same. The Water distilled in due Season, is good in hot Fevers, and Pleurisy. The Water made in a good Influence of Luna and Jupiter, if a Cloth be dipped in the same, and applied to the Forehead, causes a gentle Sleep, and takes away the Headache occasioned by heat.  
Lettuce loves moist places: It moistens the Body, because of Luna, causeth Sleep, and increaseth Milk in Women: It pacifies the Headache occasioned by heat, and expels the Gall from the Stomach.  
Rapum, or Rape-Root, is of a strong, Lunar Nature; therefore it fills the Body with Moisture, and gathered in an undue Season is very noxious to the Phlegmatic.  
Lime-Tree is subject to Luna and Mars; its yellow Bark comes from Mars. It opens the Obstructions of Women. The distilled Water is good for the Head, cures the Frenzy, takes away the Cold of the Body, and easeth the Colic.  
Peony-Root is subject to Luna and Jupiter, for the Flowers are Jovial. If they are gathered in the Influence of Jupiter and Luna, they take away all Obstructions of Women, and if they have them too much, they bring them into order. This Virtue is also in the Seed. It is excellent for the Head; it cures the Frenzy, and takes away the heavy Dreams, and Incubus, if it be taken inwardly, or hanged about the Neck.  
All sorts of Mushrooms, are nothing but the Swellings of the Earth, occasioned by a viscous Humidity of the Earth and Trees; for Luna is Lady of all Moisture. Hence it is, that in wet Years they abound more than in dry. They give (according to the Nature of all Lunars) a pale Colour. If you eat too many, and not well pickled, they fill the Body with a watery Phlegm, and create a Dropsy, and all Lunar Distempers. He that delights to eat them must gather them in the Influence of the Moon, than they are Healthful, otherwise they hurt, by reason of their Lunar Moisture. Some think that the pale coloured are the most hurtful, because they have the more Lunar Poison in them; and the yellow better, because they have more Sulphur.  
Water-Lentils are also subject to Luna, are of a cooling Nature, and also useful in all inward and outward Inflammations. They likewise cure the Headache, occasioned by Heat.    

The Fourth Instruction. Of the Influence of the Seven Planets, which daily happen throughout the Year, from the Tenth of March, 1698, to the Tenth of March, 1699.  
EVery one must diligently observe the Influences the Stars have over the Herbs, before taught, and over the Metals, as will be hereafter demonstrated, that he may imprison the Influences of the Stars in the same; which is done when the Herb or Root is planted, and gathered with a fit Instrument, made with a Metal of the same nature with the Herb.  
As for Example.  
In Italy grow the Olive-Trees, and are of a Jovial Nature; if these Olive-Trees are not cut with Sheers of their own Nature, they lose their innate Virtue, and Influence, and wither away, as is well known to every curious Person in Italy; therefore they are cut with Ivory Sheers, that they may grow better, because Ivory is of the Nature of Jupiter. Shears made of Copper, or Tin, might do the same, etc.  
The Smallpox is a Distemper subject to the Sun, therefore when the Sun is afflicted by Mars, Children (as well as Aged People) whose Nativity agrees with the malignant Influence at that time, catch the Distemper presently. Now, when the Pox is at the height, take a sharp Instrument made of Gold, a Finger's length, with which prick and take away the Blisters; and if he be a Male, bathe the place with the Breast-Milk of a Woman, who gives suck to a Boy; but if a Female, then with the Milk of a Woman, who suckles a Girl, and the Pox will leave no Marks or Pits.  
If simple Metals can in general do this, What would they do if they were Corporally and Spiritually joined in a due Influence? Oh! what a shameful thing is it, that Silver and Gold have been hitherto so abused?  

Here follows a Diary, showing how strong and powerful every Herb, Mineral, and Vegetable is (every Day in the Year) to be found.  
MArch the 10th, 1698, about Two of the Clock in the Morning, the Sun enters the first Scruple of Aries, at which time the Days and Nights are alike throughout the whole World, and this is a very proper Season for Cutting the Wound-wood of the Ash-Tree; but if you will consider the Influence of the Sun, and how he is aspected, because the Ash-Tree is subject to the Sun, you may in this Year 1698, find a more suitable time, as hereafter shall be shown.  
The Moon at this Ingress hath the most Dignities of all the Planets, and is therefore accounted to be the Lady of the Year. This is an excellent time to gather or dig up the Herbs, Roots, and Minerals, subject to the Moon, (as before in the Second Instruction is shown) to be preserved against a time of Need: The best Lunar Herbs, I say, are to be gathered this 10th of March 1698, at 47 Minutes before 12 at Noon, when she will possess the Angle of Life with 36 Testimonies of Fortitude; therefore all Herbs gathered at that instant will powerfully heal all Lunar Sicknesses, if hung about the Neck in a grey, white, or pale coloured Silk bag.  
Here is also to be observed,  
1. When the Influence of Saturn is found, then is a time to gather the Herbs of Saturn, as in the Second Instruction, Numb. I. against the Saturnal Diseases, in the First Instruction, Numb. I.  
2. The Influences of Jupiter serve for the Herbs of Jupiter, in the Second Instruction, Numb. II. against the Jovial Diseases, in the First Instruction, Numb. II.  
3. The Influences of Mars serve for the Herbs of Mars, in the Second Instruction, Numb. III. against the Martial Diseases, in the First Instruction, Numb. III.  
4. The Influences of the Sun serve to the Herbs of the Sun, in the Second Instruction, Numb. IV. against the Solar Diseases, in the First Instruction, Numb. IV.  
5. The Influences of Venus serve to the Herbs of Venus, in the Second Instruction, Numb. V. against the Diseases of Venus, in the First Instruction, Numb. V.  
6. The Influence of Mercury serves to the Herbs of Mercury, in the Second Instruction, Numb. VI against the Diseases of Mercury, in the First Instruction, Numb. VI  
7. The Moon's Influence serves for the Herbs of the Moon, in the Second Instruction, Numb. VII. against the Diseases of the Moon, in the First Instruction, Numb. VII.  
8 ♄ & ♃ Influences serving for the Herbs, in the Second Instruction by Number, 1 & 2 Against the Diseases in the First Instruction of ♄ & ♃ Numb. 8 9 ♄ & ♂ 1 & 3 ♄ & ♂ Numb. 9 10 ♄ & ☉ 1 & 4 ♄ & ☉ Num. 10 11 ♄ & ♀ 1 & 5 ♄ & ♀ Num. 11 12 ♄ & ☿ 1 & 6 ♄ & ☿ Num. 12 13 ♄ & ☽ 1 & 7 ♄ & ☽ Num. 13 14 ♃ & ♂ 2 & 3 ♃ & ♂ Num. 14 15 ♃ & ☉ 2 & 4 ♃ & ☉ Num. 15 16 ♃ & ♀ 2 & 5 ♃ & ♀ Num. 16 17 ♃ & ☿ 2 & 6 ♃ & ☿ Num. 17 18 ♃ & ☽ 2 & 7 ♃ & ☽ Num. 18 19 ♂ & ☉ 3 & 4 ♂ & ☉ Num. 19 20 ♂ & ♀ 3 & 5 ♂ & ♀ Num. 20 21 ♂ & ☿ 3 & 6 ♂ & ☿ Num. 21 22 ♂ & ☽ 3 & 7 ♂ & ☽ Num. 22 23 ☉ & ♀ 4 & 5 ☉ & ♀ Num. 23 24 ☉ & ☿ 4 & 6 ☉ & ☿ Num. 24 25 ☉ & ☽ 4 & 7 ☉ & ☽ Num. 25 26 ♀ & ☿ 5 & 6 ♀ & ☿ Num. 26 27 ♀ & ☽ 5 & 7 ♀ & ☽ Num. 27 28 ☿ & ☽ 6 & 7 ☿ & ☽ Num. 28 29 ♄, ♂, & ☉ 1, 3, & 4 ♄, ♂, & ☉ Num. 29 30 ♄, ♂, & ☿ 1, 3, & 6 ♄, ♂, & ☿ Num. 30 31 ♄, ♂, & ☽ 1, 3, & 7 ♄, ♂, & ☽ Num. 31 32 ♄, ☉, & ☽ 1, 4, & 7 ♄, ☉, & ☽ Num. 32 33 ♂, ☉, & ☽ 3, 4, & 7 ♂, ☉, & ☽ Num. 33 34 ♂, ☿, & ☽ 3, 6, & 7 ♂, ☿, & ☽ Num. 34 35 ♄, ♂, ☉, & ☽ 1, 3, 4, & 7 ♄, ♂, ☉, & ☽ Num. 35

10 AT 53 minutes past 11 in the Morning, the Moon is in Ascendant with 36 Testimonies.  
The same Day at 31 minutes past 7 at Night, the Moon is in Mid-Heaven with 31 Testimonies. At which time you must cut up or gather the Herbs and Roots of the Moon; you may provide yourself half an hour beforehand, but the Herb or Root must be cut or gathered at 31 minutes past Seven, and put into a pale, white or grey coloured Silk bag, and kept till Occasion serves.  
This time is also to be observed for the Sigil of the Moon; for the more powerful the Influence is, the more powerful will the Operation be: But this is taught more at large in the Third Cure.

THUS is Calculated, from the 10th day of March, in the Year of our Lord, 1698, to the 9th day of March, 1699, the Influences of the Planets for every day, to a minute; so that all ingenious Persons, who are solicitous for the Good of themselves, Families, and Fellow-Creatures, may always have their Physic, or Medicine, by them, for their Conveniency. And it was the Opinion of the Ancients, and so it is mine, That if you Planted all such necessary Herbs under their Influences, as directed, their Virtue and Power will be much stronger than those in the Fields, in regard their growth is often disturbed by Persons breaking the Earth: For, undoubtedly, God Almighty influenced all things at the Creation; and where they have not been disturbed, or the Earth broken, they retain the same Virtue, as they had when created, to this day. Therefore you have an Ephemeris, or Direction, for every day, according to their Influences, for gathering Herbs, with their Witnesses or Testimonies, viz.  

1. By Calculating the Longitude of the Seven Planets, and the Moon's Bounds.  
2. From the Longitude of the Seventy Seven Aspects that are in the Radix of the Year.  
3. From the Longitude of the 14 principal Fixed Stars.  
4. From the Latitude of the Seven Planets.  
5. From the Latitude of the Seventy Seven Aspects.  
6. From the Latitude of the Fourteen principal Fixed Stars.  
7. From the Descension of the abovementioned Constellations.  
8. From the right Ascension of the said Constellations.  
9 From the Distance of the Medium Coeli to the Imum Coeli.  
10. From under which Circle of Position the said Constellations are to be found, being in number an Hundred.  
11. From the Diversity of Ascensions of the same.  
12. From the Ascension and Descension of all such Constellations.  
13. From the exact place where every Constellation, to an Hour and Minute of its Revolutions, imprints its Signs and Degrees.  
14. From the Twelve Celestial Houses, according to the Opinion of Campanus and Gartalus.  
15. From the Examination of the Planets in general, how strong and weak they have been, from the Conjunction to the Opposition in the Spring.  
16. From the Examination of every Planet every day throughout the whole Year.  
17. From all Directions of the Planets belonging to the Revolution of the Year, when one Degree makes a Day, and the same is Seven Hundred in number.  
18. From so many Transits as are in the Year.  
19 From the Twelve Aspects of the Moon.  
20. From the Twelve Aspects, and Configurations of the other Six Planets throughout the whole Year.  
21. When the Planet is in the Ascendant.  
22. When in the Medium Coeli.  
23. From the Hour when it is in its Exaltation.   
The Essential Dignities and Debilities, Accidental Fortitudes and Debilities, I have not placed, in regard they are in most Books of Astrology; therefore I hope that may suffice.    

I shall now proceed to give you some few Examples, to make it plainer to your view, being the first part of the Cure and Healing by Herbs.  
Example I.  
If any be troubled with a burning Fever, (because such Sicknesses are subject to Mars) as is to be seen in page 4. therefore I look into the Second Instruction, page 30, 31, 32, or in page 85, 86, for an Herb or Root for this purpose, the first I can get; then I go further to the Influences of Mars, in the Fourth Instruction, page 120, 121, 122, etc. exactly Calculated, which Hour I observe very well, and a little before the time I go into the Field, or the Place where such Herbs grow, and prepare to gather the Herb, or Root, which Herb, or Root, I put into a red Silk bag, and hang the same about the Patient's Neck or Breast. He who exactly observes this little process, will find an Infallible Cure.  
Example II.  
In time of Sickness, no better Remedy is to be had than this. In the First Instruction, page 20, it is said, that the Plague, and all sorts of Poison, are subject to Saturn, Mars, and Sol, therefore in the Second Instruction, among Saturnal, Martial, and Solar Roots, page 23, 24, 25, 26, also 30, 31, 32, as also 33, 34, as also in the Third Instruction, page 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, and 85, 86, and 87, 88, 89, 90; these three sorts of Herbs must be gathered as before directed. The first must be Saturnal; the second, Martial; the third, Solar; and in the Fourth Instruction, page 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122. These are the certain Days and Hours which must be observed, in gathering the Herbs. The Saturnal Herbs must be put into a black Silk bag; the Martial, into a red Silk bag; and the Solar, into a yellow Silk bag. These being severally hanged about the Neck, will have a very great Power over all Poisonous and Pestilential Diseases, far beyond all Medicines collected in an undue Season.  
The other Planets have also their several Colours; as Jupiter, blue, honey-colour, and purple; Venus, green, blue, and liver-coloured; Mercury, sprinkled with several Colours, and grey; the Moon, pale, white, and white-grey.  
This serves to show you, that the Herbs must be kept in their own coloured Bags, when applied to the Patient.  
How much the Time of Influence of all things, especially of Herbs, Roots, and Metals, is to be esteemed, we have not only from the Wise King Solomon, who saith in his Writings, That all things gathered in an undue Season are unprofitable; but also 'tis known to all Artists, and common Mechanics, that all Herbs, Days, and Hours, are not alike.  
The Goldsmith's Work in an Antipathetical Influence is brittle, and not malleable; but if he stay a day or two, and use the same Flux, it will be malleable.  
The Mint-Masters, who are daily employed in Melting and testing Gold and Silver, do also experiment the diversities of Times and Seasons.  
The Dyers, as also the Shoemakers, when they boil their Redwood to make Colours, the same not succeeding all times alike, they blame the Shopkeepers for selling them bad Goods: and, Who is there that will take the pains to discover the reasons of all these Mischiefs?  
To Calculate and find out the Time, is not every one's Business, which to hit exactly, hath hitherto been impossible.  
The Ancients have had many Opinions of the Entrance of the Sun into the first, second, third and fourth degrees of Cancer, Leo, Virgo, and other Signs. These opinionated Influences have been easily found; but they have had great Failings.  
Here I have showed you, in a plain Method, how to preserve yourselves and Families; and do also show you, what a Critical thing it is to be an Able Physician.  
All Doctors must confess that the Planets have a great Influence in Physic; nevertheless, there are few who observe the Season, and calculate the Hour; which is occasioned chiefly by these three Reasons.  
First, The most part of them abhor Influences, therefore they will not apply such Medicines.  
Secondly, They are proud of their Degree, not willing to converse with mean People.  
Thirdly, They think it too much Pains to observe Times, when they know they can get their Money without it, let the Patient live or die.  
Now, if a Sympathy of Times be neglected, there follows an Antipathy, viz. an Herb gathered in an undue Season makes bad worse, and often kills the Patient.  
Note, That all Herbs and Roots are not described in this Part; but only some few Examples, to give a light to it, which you must take notice of.   

Here followeth the Second Cure of all Sicknesses and Diseases, by the Heavenly Influences, by means of the Seven Planets, and Precious Stones.  

The Introduction.  
WE need not dispute here of the Strength and Virtue of Metals in Physic, and also for the Prolongation of Life, if they are found in due Season.  
Although Theophrastus, in his Second Volume Fol. 545, 565, to 571, gives great testimony, that the Characters taken from Nature have special Virtue: but where he had them he doth not tell us; without doubt the reason was, because all Doctors of Physic were his Enemies, therefore he would not declare his Secrets, and Foundation.  
He knew also that the Soeculum Gratioe should begin an Hundred Years after his Death, which Hundred Years are now almost gone, in which, all that is occult should be revealed; of which the Prophet Daniel also testifies.  
ay, for my part, never studied so many and wonderful Characters and Figures; but only meditated this one thing, how the Influences of Times (which are by Almighty God ordained for the Benefit of Mankind, and also that Men should take some Pains to find them, both in Herbs, Metals and Stones) have their wonderful Virtue and Operation, than he that can make shift with a Spoon, hath no occasion for a Tub. Now, I say, that the abovenamed three Creatures, without any supposition, are the usefullest and fittest for Men, as I have shown in several parts of this Book, but especially in the latter end. I know also sufficiently, That all Sicknesses and Diseases in Men, and other Creatures, are occasioned by an Antipathetick Influence of the Heavens. Wherefore, when a Disease is known by the Nativity, you preserve yourself, or totally cure it by an Herb, Metal, or Stone, gathered in due Season, and hanged about your Neck, or carried about with you. Then,  
1. The Influence of the Heavens and Times descend into the Creatures Antipathetically, or Sympathetically; that is to say, for a good or bad purpose.  
2. When one of the above named three Creatures is prepared in due Season, and carried on the Breast, the Antipathetick, noxious Influence rather goes into the Herb, or Metal, than Men, and Man is preserved from the threatening Sickness; but when the Sickness is already in the Body, they extract it by degrees; but it is better when a Man knows his Sickness beforehand, and resists it. Hence is to be seen the good Intention that Mr. William Avianus, late Professor at Leipzick, had in his Treatise of Nativities, namely, That as well publicly in the Town-Houses, as privately in the Church-Books, together with the Days of Christening, the Hours of the Nativity should be exactly Registered; as may also be seen in the approbation of the University of Leipzick, which is Printed with the Treatise of Nativities, where they approve of the public Registering of Nativities; but how this is practised by the Government, experience testifies.  
But to spare all this Trouble, there are found amongst the ancient Astrologers and Philosophers several descriptions of three Looking-Glasses, which are called Electrum, sive Speculum, sive Sphoeram Sapientioe Solomonis. One prepares the same by a Magical method, with Cabbalistical Figures and Characters; another, only by Astrological Influences; in which all things present, past, and to come, may be seen.  
If now such Glasses should come to light, (for it is certain that they have been, and divers Operations done by them, which have been kept secret, as a great Mystery) there would be no occasion for so much Trouble, nor the public Registering of Nativities; of which in the following part of this Work, I shall say more.  
What concerns the Influence of Herbs and Roots, they are not esteemed so strong as the Metals, altho' they have almost equal Virtue with the same; yet we cannot know exactly under what Planet they are subject wholly; but, on the contrary, we are sure that 

Lead, belongs to Saturn, ♄.  
Copper, to— jupiter, ♃.  
Iron, to— Mars, ♂.  
Gold, to— Sol, ☉.  
Tin, to— Venus, ♀.  
Quicksilver, to Mercury, ☿.  
Silver, to— Luna, ☽.    
Though, according to the Opinion of several, Tin must be subject to jupiter, and Copper to Venus.  
If now any Metal, in the time of its Influence, as is to be seen from page 109 to 150, with his Numbers and Natural Body, as he is to be seen in the Heaven at certain Seasons, be stamped and hanged about the Neck, or carried, it will attract all Antipathetick Influences, and preserve Men from approaching Misfortunes, and clear them of all Sicknesses.   

The Description of the Sigil of the first Metal, Led, or Saturn, how it is to be made and used against all Saturnal Sicknesses.  


ש  2 9 4 7 5 3 6 1 8  
SATURNUS  
♄   

Purgatio Saturni.  
TAke the Oar of Lead, pound it, fifth it through a fine Seive, wash it, and dry it, than put it in a Crucible on a gentle Fire, put to one part of this Oar, of Tartar two parts, of Salt half a part, melt them in a strong Fire, and the Lead will settle in the bottom. When all is cold, take it and melt it again, and throw him into strong Vinegar, or cold Water, and he is purged.  
This must be done in the Influence of Saturn, as may be seen in page 115, 116.   

Aliud ex Theophrasto.  
Melt Lead in an Iron ladle, fling into it a piece of Wax as big as a Bean, let it burn away, than east it into cold Water.   

Configuratio.  
Of such cleaned Lead must be cast a Sigil of the bigness of Half-a-Crown, (as may be seen in the Figure) upon the one side must be the monstrous Body of Saturn, as he is observed through a Tellescope; in the middle of this must be the Character, and round about the Body the Name SATURNUS; on the other side must be these Numbers, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, in a square; so set that every way, by Addition, they may make 15, which is done here 8 times; on the top of this the Hebrew Character Schin.   

Impressio.

TO the Moon belongs Crystal, in which the Body of the Moon is cut, after this shape, and carried about the Neck, or put into the inward part of a Silver Ring, and worn on the Finger.    

HEre you must take Notice, First, He who will prepare the Seven Sigils, above mentioned, must take exact notice of the hours, because Clocks and Watches are subject to many alterations. Therefore, I have described in my other part following, a certain Instrument, by which may be found the Hours, Quarters, and Minutes, in Winter and Summer, by Day and by Night, if the Sun and Moon afford but the least light through the Clouds, by the Magnet or without. I do not mention those other Instruments which are used in Surveying; this thing, if rightly prepared, is a Royal Instrument, it may be used in a double way, viz. standing or lying, or any other way it proves itself, because one side corresponds exactly with the other to a Minute; for that part which shows the Minutes, if it be directed to the Pole, may be brought to the breadth of a hair, which Instrument is easily Portable; but if it be required, that a Sigil must be stamped when the Sun or Moon do not appear plainly, you must have en exact Watch made, that shows the Hours, Quarters, and Minutes, as in the division of the above mentioned Instrument is to be found; for the hour which is found by the Sun, is far better than any other. Nevertheless, I direct this my Mathematical Instrument so, that his Motion is finished in 24 hours, exactly according to the Motion of the Sun. He that hath such an Instrument, and a little Triangle, and also my Annual Revolution, together with the hour of Nativity, may account himself happy; for the aforesaid three Pieces, are a preparation to the Golden Age, and he who hath them may know what things are past, and what are to come, and may also cure all Diseases.  
Secondly, If now the Time be exactly observed, the Sigil must be stamped in a Minute, because this Impression occasions the Power of the Heavenly Influences; for the Heavenly Influences of the Stars are as quick and nimble, as an Arrow out of a Bow, or a Bullet out of a Gun, so quick must this Impression be.  
Thirdly, Though there is no doubt but such prepared Sigils, send out such Virtues to Mankind in several Diseases, yet it is better if a Man observes, together with the Sigils, the Ascendant of every one's Nativity, for the 12 Celestial Houses, together with the Planets that are evilly Posited, are also corrected by the Dignities of the Sigils, therefore a Man becomes as it were new Born.  
Fourthly, Because such Sigils are stamped at such times when the Planets are in their highest Dignities, therefore it is here to be noted, that he who uses them, must not use them when he goes into the Bath, or lies with a Woman, or into unclean Places; the Sigils may be so cut as that you may take their Mark in a piece of Clay.    

The Third and Summary Cure, by the Conjunction of the Seven Metals and Sigils.  
TO this Summary Cure of all Sicknesses, there needs the Sigils of the Seven Clean Metals, and when the influence of Saturn is; as also, when he is exactly in Conjunction with Mercury: This especial time of Influence I will show (God willing) in my Second Part; and also, before all things, you must have in readiness a Fire, a Crucible, granulated Saturn, and Mercury.  
When the Conjunction of Saturn and Mercury begins, let the Saturn melt gently, then put in the Mercury that he may not fly out; for in the first Point, when the Conjunction begins, take the Crucible from the Fire, fling in Mercury, and let them cool.  
After this, take notice of a Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, or Jupiter and Mercury, then prepare all things, as before, and take notice, when the first point of the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, or Mercury and Jupiter, melt English Tin, and put to it the Saturn joined with Mercury in a cold Flux, or melt every one by themselves and put them together, and let them cool.  
Thus are these fusible Metals exactly conjoined; after this, take notice of another Conjunction of any one of the other Four Planets, viz. Sun, Moon, Venus and Mars, with any one of the three Planets, viz. Saturn, Jupiter, or Mercury; then prepare all things as before, then Melt each by its self in the point of the Conjunction, and join them together; you must do thus till you have brought all of them with their due Conjunction into one Metal: This Conjunction of Metals, is called by Paracelsus, Electrum.  
The more you conjoin of these Metals, the more Sigils you may make.  
You may see also in the Scheme, how this Electrum is to be brought into an Angular Body of the bigness of a Bullet, viz. make a Circle of the bigness of a Crown, or bigger or lesser as you please; Cross the same thro' the middle, as a b c d e, divide the Circle into 123456 Angular Parts, draw a blind Line from 2 to 4, when it cuts the Line in d. e. to the Figure 7, put one Foot of the Compass in b, and the other Foot to 7, and strike a Circle. Contract two Points into one, and you will have a Triangle after this manner, 7 & 3, 9 & 4, 9 & 5, 8 & 1.  
The Scheme of the Inestimable jewel.  
Thus you have a description how the Body of Saturn or Jupiter, may be brought into a Form, in which may be cast the Electrum, consisting of three Quadrangles, and four Triangles, this melting must be done in their Influences, but you must prepare 7 Stamps of the 7 Metals cut in Steel.  

1. In the Influence of Saturn, stamp upon one division the Body of Saturn.  
2. In the Influence of Jupiter, stamp upon the second division the Body of Jupiter.  
3. In the Influence of Mars, stamp upon the third division the Body of Mars.  
4. In the Influence of the Sun, stamp upon the fourth division the Body of the Sun.  
5. In the Influence of Venus, stamp upon the fifth division the Body of Venus.  
6. In the Influence of Mercury, stamp upon the sixth division the Body of Mercury.  
7. In the Influence of Luna stamp upon the seventh division the Body of Luna.   
When this Sigil is prepared, on the plane side you must stamp 18 little Stamps, viz. the Twelve Celestial Signs, with the Six First Stars.  
Such Stamps are stamped exactly when such Sign or Stars are ascending in the Horizon; then this Body is prepared, which is a Treasure of all Treasures; of which I will speak more in my Second Part, because this will be too chargeable for the Undertaker.  
Interim sat Sapienti.   

The Fourth Cure of all Diseases in General.  
AMong the many Multitudes that live upon this Globe of the Earth, some are Fortunate, some Unfortunate; some Poor, some Rich; some Hail, some Diseased; for some come easily to high Dignities and Riches, without Pains; others, although they take great Pains, are Poor and Miserable. Every one in his Nativity hath his Influences that show it.  
Although many People are born Fortunate, and are Rich in Estates, Honour, Virtue, and Credit, yet they must die; because, from the Fall of Adam, the Heavenly Influences have not been so Powerful as they were at the Beginning of the Creation; here it is plain, that the Earth, and the two lights of the Heaven are corruptible.  
If now the strongest Influence of the Planets in due time are observed, and Imprisoned in the Metals, and applied to any Person at the time that his Ascendant is ascending, then is it not impossible, nor against God and Nature, that such Men may be Regenerated and long Lived, (for Adam lived 930, Seth 912, Enoch 905, Cainan 910, Mahalaleel 895, Jared 962, Enoch 365 before his Ascension into Heaven, Methusalem 969, Lamech 777; but after the Flood, and the Confusion of Languages, these Mysteries were lost). I will forbear to mention how these Sigils resist all Pride, Covetousness, and other Vices of Mankind, by their Natural Impression. I could say much more of this Nature, if I did not fear to make the first Book swell too big; but I will conclude with the Operation and Virtue of the Seven Sigils and Metals against all Humane Diseases.  

I. Of the Virtue and Operation of the Sigil Of Saturn.  
IF the Sigil of Saturn be rightly prepared, as is directed above in the second Cure; if it be Buried in the Ground where an Army is Encamped, they will have no Success till they break up from that Camp; 'tis excellent for Childbearing Women, for it facilitates the Birth; every thing that this Sigil is put to increases; he who carries it upon his left Foot, his secret Enemies cannot hurt him, and it defends him from a Horse, Dog, or any other four footed Animal; 'tis excellent against all Witchcraft; he who carries it with him, and digs for Enchanted Treasure, the Spirits have no Power over him; it Fortunates those who belong to Mines, Agriculture, digging of Fountains, and making all other Buildings; it discovers secret Stratagems; he who Drinks from it, is deprived of all Venereal Appetites.   

II. Of the Operation and Virtue of the Sigil of Jupiter.  
HE who carries this Sigil with him, is acceptable to all Persons; it preserves Health, and Old Age; it bring all Sciences Fortune, Riches, and Honour; it occasions Ambassadors to have great and high Esteem, and finish their Negotiations to satisfaction; and if one be taken Captive, it furthers his Redemption; this Sigil being carried on the Breast, gives great knowledge in Law and Divinity, and Fortunates all things that a Man takes in hand.   

III. Of the Operation and Virtue of the Sigil of Mars.  
THis Sigil of Mars hath strange Operations, it gives Victory in all Battles; it overthrows Enemies in Words and Deeds; it gives a Man a heart like a Lion; it serves in all secret Counsels of War; if it be Buried in a Fortress, it becomes Invincible; it preserves the Bearer from all Iron and Gun-shot; this Sigil hath great virtue in Horses, Dogs, and other fight Animals, and he that carries it about him, may with an indifferent Horse outride a good one; if he puts into the Horse's Mouth the constellated Root of Chamoelion, and if the Bearer in the Constellation of Mars throws Bullets, he kills all things that he sees; this Sigil of Mars preserves from all Fire; if it be bound on the Shoulder it stops all Bleeding; he who will make a fine light Red-colour, must observe the Influence of Mars, and then he will not be at so great Expense.   

IV. Of the Operation and Virtue of the Sigil of the Sun.  
THis precious Sigil brings Men to great Dignities, that they grow in Honour and Riches day after day; it makes Men Invincible Strong, Courageous, and Fortunate; it brings great Riches; it preserves against the Plague, and Lunacy; a Golden yellow colour made in the Sun's Influence, is fine and durable.   

V. Of the Virtue and Operation of the Sigil of Venus.  
THis Sigil causes great Love and Amity between Men and Women, young Men and Maids; it takes away all Hatred and Hostilities, and if any one gives of it to Drink to his Mortal Enemy, especially in Red Wine in the Influence, he will begin to be his best Friend, and will endeavour him no more harm; it gives great Power to learn all sorts of Music; it creates an infinite Spirit of Love amongst Lovers; if the Christian Name of both Persons, be of the same number of Letters and Numbers, and cut round about the edge of the Sigil, it preserves a perpetual Amity: This may be proved amongst Married People, who live always at variance; it augments the Sperm, strengthens the Body in Coition, and causes that Men and Wom●n never part.   

VI Of the Virtue and Operation of the Sigil of Mercury.  
THis Mercurial Sigil brings great luck and profit in Merchandising; it gives Persons favour among Governors; it makes good Orators, strengthens the Memory, and brings great knowledge in Natural Arts; if this Sigil be Bound under or upon the Head at the time when you go to Sleep, he will see in his Sleep such things as he stands in need of, that are honest and just, and in the fear of God, especially if in the same Night the Moon transits the place of Mercury; it resists all Plague, Poisons, and Infections; as also all Lice, and other Infects; it cures the Poisonous Bites of Serpents; if it be hanged about the Neck of Infants, it makes them quickly Speak. The Purple, Mixed, and Grey-Colours, are made best in the Influence of Mercury.   

VII. Of the Virtue and Operation of the Sigil of the Moon.  
THis Sigil of Luna preserves against all Murderers and Robbers by Sea and Land, brings Welfare in all things, as also Victory in War, especially at Sea, as also in Trading on the Sea; it preserves the Ships upon the Sea from all danger in Storms and Tempests; this Sigil strengthens the Fruit in the Womb; it helps Women in Labour; it causes Love and Amity among Married People; they who Drink of it, it makes an inseparable Love between them; it is good for Fishermen; if they hang it in the Water it draws and gathers the Craw-Fish and other Fish to the place where they may be most easily caught.  
If you put a Wax-Candle in the middle of this Sigil, and carry it round about the House and other Places, where the Candle suddenly goes out, there is hidden Treasure. If there be now a Lunar or Saturnal Influence, as may be seen 135, 136, in 147, 148, 149, 150, then Dig with good courage, and you will find a Treasure.  
This Sigil is also good in digging of Fountains and Waterworks.  
The above mentioned Figure of Luna cut in a Stone in due Season, is excellent good for Women in Labour; and if they drink fresh Spring-water from the Stone, it helps them wonderfully; Women being with Child, may at that time drink a Glass of fair Water.  
Finally, The Influences of the Moon, are good to make the Pale, the White, the White-Grey, and Yellow Colours.   

A short Supplement of the Signs, Planets, and Numbers, with the Reason why they are Stamped on the Metals.  
1. I Do not question, nor doubt at all, but God Almighty, to his own Honour, in the time of the Creation, ordained, that every one should have at his Conception and Birth, the Tokens of good or ill Fortune, and also length of Days.  
2. Nor can I find that the Planets and Stars of themselves should have any Influence or Power, but only that God, by the Sign given to them, shows us the diversity of good and bad Seasons, which may be found out, when Men being without Sin, are employed and busied in Arithmetic, and also free from Merchandising, or any other Worldly affairs.  
3. Although I call these times (ordained by God) good or bad Influences of the Stars and Planets, yet it doth not at all lessen, but is suitable to the Style of a Potentate, who hath many Officers and Servants that have many Places, by whom the Will of their Lord is understood.  
4. As also, I do not ascribe any Virtue to the Characters of the Planets, but only to the Impressions that it hath the 1, 2, and 3d Sympathetical time: Thus also are discerned the Virtues of the Metals, Stones, and Herbs.  
5. The Twelve Heavenly Signs, and also the Sun, are but Characters which correspond with Men, Animals, and other things upon Earth.  
6. The Numbers of the highest Invisible Sphere is first. 2. The Fixed Stars. 3. Saturn, 4. Jupiter. 5. Mars. 6. The Sun. 7. Venus. 8. Mercury. 9 The Moon.  
If now 2 by 2, 3 by 3, 4 by 4, 5 by 5, are Multiplied, you have the Compendium of every one's Body according to their Rays, which extend themselves the longer and the greater towards the Moon, and these you may not without good ground apply to the Metals.  
7. The word Azoth, is composed of the beginning and end of the Alphabet, A & Z in Latin or Germane; Alpha and Omega in Greek; Aleph and Thou in Hebrew.  
8. He to whom God gives the Grace to know these most hidden Mysteries, hath the greater reason to Magnify his Creator.  
Soli Deo Gloria.

Mantissa Euphemetica Encomiastica: Experientissimi & Famigeratissimi Domini Autoris gratulans OPUS.  
TAntaleas is opes capit: & putat iste cicadam  
Correptam, ut tandem Sisyphium extet opus:  
Cui volupe est Veneri, Bacchóve insumere nervos:  
Aut si quis stertit nocte dieque piger.  
Illecebris nocet, & nocet empta dolore, libido:  
Sed virtutis habet clara brabeia manus.  
Laus manet Hiebnerum, noctesque diesque studentem,  
Dum vitia exosus, percolit artis opus.  
Aetheraeum modo docta manus recludit Olympum:  
Et modo Germinibus sumina pandit humi.  
Edit Ephemeridas, editque Machaonis artem:  
Sidera qui prosint & Medicaminibus.  
Cede superstitio: niteant arcana per orbem:  
Vt probet usque levis cespes, & esse DEUM.  
Quid juvet ergo Getas, Garamantes visere & Indos?  
Quid pugnace juvet bella movere manu?  
Ille capit, Pactolus opes quas fundit abundus:  
Erigit hic FAMAE celsa Trophaea suae!  
Cuncta cadunt: virtus manet intemerata. Diurnans  
HIEBNERI ergo cati Fama per aeva cluat.

Ad Clarissim. & Doctiss. Dominum Israelem Hibnerum, Nivemontanum Arithmeticum & Astronomum Excellentissimum.  

MOntis, Hibnere, decus praeclaraque fama Nivosi,  
Quem numeros scite innumeros, quem immensa tenentem,  
Astra animo stupet orbis, amat Patria, odit iniquus:  
Coeleste ingenium, mens enthea, pectore cujus  
Cura, Labor, Studium, Vigilantia, cujus in imo  
Corde Fides, Pietas, Domini Timor acribus inten  
Se vinclis connexa domum sibi figere gaudent.  
Heu quantum moliris opus! quanto ingruis ausu  
Tota contra errores seclorum ac fata pudenda  
Fatidici coeli, quod turpis inertia amussi  
Hactenus & demens metita ignavia curva est.  
Tu juvenis clarum senibus praepandere lumen  
Astra per incedis summa, informansque magistros  
Discipulus potiora aperis fundamina veri.   

Multis in tenebris, densa in caligine semper  
Mens hominum haeret humi: raro transcendere coelum  
Audet, & instabili figit vestigia gressu.  
Nec facile humanae misera haec angustia mentis  
Immensi capit astra poli: rationis acumen  
Luminis aetherei fulgore retunditur acri,  
Non minus, ipsa acies oculorum ac lumine Solis.  
Nec numeris perfecta suis Sapientia cuiquam  
Terrigenum obtingit: plus hic, minus ille reportat.  
Suntque vices rerum dubiae incertique fluores.  
Nam velut astra modo roseo promergere ab ortu  
Cernimus & laeto perfundere lumine terras:  
Moesta latere modo piceae glomeramine nubis,  
Aut cursu exacto prono decedere calle:  
Sic quicquid ratio, quicquid sapientia magnum  
Sedulitate acri peperit, miratur, honorat:  
Nunc floret, celsumque caput super aethera tollit:  
Nunc senet, aegrotat, moritur: perfectio non est  
His terris, nec perpetuum quid continet orbis.   

Hoc tamen acceptum summo referamus Iôvae,  
Ingeniisque bonis, quod non moriantur in aevum  
Aeternum studia, aut radicitus extirpentur  
Artes ingenuae & varii sapientia census:  
Sed velut astrorum pulsis decus omne tenebris  
Clarius emergit, lucemque redonat in orbem:  
Sic redeunt artes penitae de stirpe recisa  
Barbary, expediuntque animos errore recepto.   

Ille igitur vere felix, rerumque supremo  
Proximus autori est, cujus Sapientia ductu  
Aut primum caput è tumulo, quo tempore multo  
Decubuit, profert: aut jam viva, augmina sentit.  
Discipuli pueri est, jurare in verba magistri:  
Qui sapit, ulterius Vir eat. Culpamne putemus,  
Plus sapere, ac vulgus? coeco praesente, videre?  
Quae videt, impostor reticet meliora: malignus  
Errantes renuit meliori reddere calli.   

Sive igitur videas, quae nondum viderat alter  
Sive aliis conspecta procul propiore tueris  
Lumine & inventum porro excolis, addis, adauges,  
O Te felicem ingenii mentisque beatum,  
Qui vis, qui potis es coelestibus addere lumen  
Luminibus; qui terricolas super aetheris arces  
Deducis, qui coelorum deducta supremorum  
Ostentas terris convexa oculisque subinfers.  
Hibnere, hanc mentem, hunc mentis cum laude vigorem  
Indidit ipse tibi genitor Deus Israelis.  
Quem sibi conservet porro, augeat atque coronet  
Israeligenae genuino omnisque peroso  
Fucificae fraudis. Si lumina summa peribunt  
Solis, Hibnere, tuum decus & fama inclyta terris  
Decedet, quae se spatiosum extendit in orbem.
