TO THE Most Eminently accomplished in all Ingenious Literature Elias Ashmole, of the Middle Temple Esq. Controller General of His Majesty's Duty of Excise, etc.  
Honoured Sir.  
I hope this Dedicatory Epistle of mine published without your Knowledge, will beget no such Sinister Construction in you, but that the Fault shall be admitted as a venial Transgression; and this Presumption, find easy Remission at your most gentle Hands; I am now so well acquainted with your Pleasing Native Disposition, that in things of this Nature, where you are not in question, I Dare a little Offend: For it's a fixed Natural Maxim ingraffted in you, to love your Friends Sincerily, and rarely to take offence upon slight failings; Pardon therefore this Boldness of mine, I have now a large Field to walk in, and should I further proceed, I am assured I should move that sweet disposed Temper of yours, which is not easily offended, I am silent, only Sr. I hope you shall have no dishonour to Patronise the ensuing Work, wherein I lay down the whole natural Grounds of Art, in a fit Method, never done before in England, or by any that could ever speak the English Tongue; that thereby I may undeceive those, who have been miss-led by the received, musty Opinion of Argol, Regiomontanus, and others, and thus much from him, who wishes to you, and your Honourable Consort all Happiness, and Life Eternal.  
Richard Kirby.   

To the Courteous READER  
Gentle Reader, we have here adventured to present thee with a Piece Entitled, The Marrow of Astrology, being the true Genethlical Part thereof, according to the Egyptians and Chaldeans; wherein is discovered the Errors of Regiomontanus, Argol, and others, as my Ingenious Friend Mr. John Bishop, hath well demonstrated in the second Part of this Piece, and was also assisting in this, etc. Not doubting but that Men of Candid Sincerity will be ready, not only to give a friendly welcome, but also to drive away those Immortal Enemies, which continually beseige and assault every good Labour, and abuse the legitimate Sons of Art, whose steps they are not worthy to follow; I mean Crittisism and Envy, the first is harboured in the Breasts of those, (who though hard to please) are credibly supposed to be more Nice than Wise, the other a restless Wretch, yet fearless enough to them which know it, only the worst is, like a filthy Fly it seeks all over the body for a Sore, and where it cannot find, it makes one; we wish to be as free as we can from the Reach of those Readers, committing our poor Endeavours to the use of such, as are more worthy of their mean Service; for we do not go about to Teach the learned Skill, but to Instract the Ignorant, in what before they knew not, etc.  
Take therefore in good Part what is thus intended towards thee, so shall our Pains and Labour, not quite want their Recompense, nor thyself be branded with that filthy Mark, of foul Ingratitude (which resembles nothing but a Fiend of the Infernal Crew) for know this, we do not intend to send you into the Woods to fetter Wolves, nor saw the Tiger's Teeth, but we will lead you into a fruitful Vineyard, where you shall have your fill of the sweetest Grapes, etc.  
Astrology is no more, but a part or Member of Natural Philosophy, which teacheth, by the Motion of the Primum Mobile, Configurations and Influences of the Signs, Stars, and Celestial Planets, to prognosticate, or predict, of the natural Effects and Mutations to come in the Eelements, and these Inferior Elementary Bodies; 'tis an Art of great Antiquity, and if we may give Credit to the Ancient Writings of Sage Authors, and of the most profound Philosophers, who made it their Business wholly to Study God and Nature; it is even as Ancient as Adam, etc.  
Don't we know, when the Great Jehovah had finished that Great and Admirable Stupendious Work of the Creation, he made Laws and Bands to every Part thereof, and in his eternal providence hath placed, against the usurpiug Blasphemy, Misuse, and Stealth of the Wicked, and great Enemy, the Devil, four Mighty Angelical Princes (who are as Watchmen and Overseers, over this terestial Fabric, and the Sons of Men dwelling thereon) to the Intent, that he being put out to the Earth, his envious will might be bridled, the determinations of our heavenly God fulfilled, and his Creatures kept and preserved, within the Compass and Measure of Order; he made the Sun to rule by day, and the Moon by night, and all the Hosts of Heaven, he made for Signs, for Seasons, for Days, and for Years, and in them did (briefly but fully) show an Epitome of the choicest Part of the Creation, and from which was learned Man by Divine Permission instructed in the most sublime Knowledge, next to Salvation, that ever was taught; and although the Ignorat Detractors, are subject to velify it; yet the more profound Philosophers, as I said once before, who made it their business Wholly to study God and Nature, were led by those Heavenly Being's, to the most occult Secrets, yea a great deal more than our common Astrologers doth know, or can give any Reasons for; but only Study by Tradition, not at all regarding Reason or Experience; let them alone in their common Road, and they have Arguments enough, (tho' senseless ones,) to confound a Nation, if that could do any good? but deny their senseless Arguments, and demand their Reasons, and you'll lay them as flat as the ground, and like Bats struck dead by Thunder, as I may Instance in this one Proposition; suppose a Woman should have her Womb possessed with three Children at one time, and it should please God our great Creator to order it so, that they should all be born, or receive the Vital Air upon their tender Bodies, within the space of an hour, I would fain know, whether there be ever a one amongst our common Pretenders, can tell which of these Children will die first, when, and of what distemper; Now if there be any Truth in Art, as we are sure there is, than all Ingenious Men will allow this to be rational, as we often see, one Child lives, and two dyes, two lives and one dyes, and sometimes they all live, and sometimes they all die now this is quite out of the common Astrologers way, neither can they give the least Reason for it in the World (and why) because they trace over a wrong path, as we can easily prove in any Nativity of theirs, and show demonstrable reasons for the same, that there is not one in a hundred of them as to Art, but are like the Sodomites, which did nothing but grope in the dark; or like the rude Multitude in Nineveh, which did not know their Right Hands from their Left; and yet these Gentlemen, can Boast with Hermes and Ptolemy; as their Leaders (nay some have the Impudence to Condemn them, and all their Ways) when in Truth they understand nothing of their sayings, but Cleave to the Customs of the World and forsake the Truth, as shall be Demonstrated here after by several Examples (If we find this Kindly Received and Friendly Entertained) and that according to the unerring Cannons of this most Heavenly Science etc.  
Perhaps some who pretends themselves to be Great Masters of Art, will be apt to Clash and Write against these most Excellent Rules, which we have here laid down for the good of Tyros; but we shall advise them to Rest in a secure Harbour, and not to be like the unadvized and indescreet Mariner, who runs his Ship against a Rock, and thereby not only Endangers the loss of his Vessel, but hazards also his own Life, and the Sailors too; therefore he that offers to write against this Piece. Endeavouring to vindicate what hath been all Ready wrote by any of our Modern Authors (who are like Untempered Mortar, which is not as yet fit for use) will Run into Error and Confusion. And so we leave you to the Protection of him which made us all, for we must hasten (away) about our Great Work, lest Time in his Swift Pace mocketh us for our slowness, therefore take Notice of this, that the forelocks of Time, are the Deciders of many Doubts, and Time is so swift of foot, that being once past he can never be overtaken.

ISAGOGE OR AN INTRODUCTION TO ASTROLOGY.  

CHAP. I. Of the Characters of the seven Planets, twelve Signs, and Aspects, with their several Names and manifold Divisions, etc.  
YOU must Note, that there are seven erratics, or wandering Stars, by our Ancient Predecessors called Planets, and are Charactered as followeth.  

♄ Saturn.  
♃ Jupiter.  
♂ Mars.  
☉ Sol.  
♀ Venus.  
☿ Mercury.  
☽ The Moon, 
Planets.  called Luna.   
Secondly. There is also two Nodes or certain Points used by Astrologers, named the Dragon's Head and Tail, and are Charactered as followeth, ☊ Dragons Head, ☋ Dragons Tail; The Part of Fortune bears this Character, ♁  
Thirdly. Now as there are seven Planets, so there are twelve Signs, which are the twelve Mansions or Houses of Heaven; and these twelve Signs take great Power and Might of the seven Planets; and the seven Planets, take great Power and Might of the twelve Signs; for the seven Planets be to the twelve Signs, as the Body is to the Soul; for as the Body can do nothing without the Soul, nor the Soul without the Body; no more may the Signs without one of these Planets, etc.  
Fourthly. The Characters of the twelve Signs of the Zodiac, are as followeth, 
Signs.   

♈ Aries;  
♉ Taurus';  
♊ Gemini;  
♋ Cancer;  
♌ Leo;  
♍ Virgo;  
♎ Libra;  
♏ Scorpio;  
♐ Sagittary  
♑ Capricorn  
♒ Aquarius;  
♓ Pisces.   
Fifthly. Through these twelve Signs do the seven Planets continually 
The Time of the Planets Revolutions.  move, and are ever in one or other Degree of them: ♄ is the highest, who finisheth his Course through the twelve Signs in thirty Years. Next under ♄ is ♃, who performs his Revolution in twelve Years. Next under ♃ is ♂, who performs his Perambulation in two Years. Next under ♂ is that Glorious Lamp of Heaven the ☉, from whom all the Stars receive their Light and Motion; he performs his Revolution in 365 Days 5h. 49m. or there abouts. Next under the ☉ is Dame ♀, who traceth through the 12 Signs in 225 Days. Next under ♀ is that nimble Post ☿, who passeth through the 12 Signs in 88 Days. And in the lowest Sphere of all moves the ☽ who performeth her Revolution in one Month; And thus the Panets are one beneath the other; and the Wise Philosophers say, that from the Earth to the ☽ 
Distance of the Planets from the Earth.  it is 15750 Miles, and from the ☽ to ☿ is 12812●, and from ☿ to ♀ is 12812●, and from ♀ to ☉ is 23422 miles: From the ☉ to ♂ is 15725, and from ♂ to ♃ is 68719, and from ♃ to ♄ is 68719, and from ♄ to the Starry Firmament is 120485 Miles, and from the Firmament to the Earth is 331445 Miles, being the Total Sum of all, etc.  

The Aspects of the Planets are thus, and are in Number Ten.  
COnjunction ☌. Sextil ⚹. Simiquartil smq. Quintil Q. 
Aspects.  Quartil □. Trine △. 〈◊〉 ●●q. Biquintil Bq. Oppositon ☍. and Parallels Pa.  
Of these are good the ⚹ the Q. △, and Bq. the bad are, the smq. □, ssq. and ☍; the rest are indifferent, that is good with good, and bad with bad, as the ☍ and Pa.  


A Table of Aspects.  A Table of Aspects, and how many Degrees makes each Aspect.   Degr. Signs. Degr. ☌ A Conjunction is 00 or 00 00 ⚹ A Sextil is 60 or 02 00 smq. A Simiquartil is 45 or 01 15 Q. A Quintil is 72 or 02 12 □ A Quartil is 90 or 03 00 △ A Trine is 120 or 04 00 ssq. A Sisquiquadrat is 135 or 04 15 Bq. A Biquintil is 144 or 04 24 ☍ An Opposition is 180 or 06 00  
A Parallel hath no certain Number either in Signs or Degrees, but may be more or less, according as the Planet shall have Latitude, besides Parallels goes under three Denominations, viz. Mundane; Parallels of Declination, and Parallels by the Motion of the Primum Mobile, as shall be explained in their proper Places, and that with Examples.  
Aspects that are called Antiscians', we call Parallels, because saith Ptolemy, nothing else should be Parallel to 
Aspects, or Antiscians'.  the Equator; wherefore those Parallels in the Primum Mobile are of equal distance to the Equator, and if they are of one Denomination, they are called Primary; but if of sundry Denominations, Secundary, etc. The North Commands, and the South Obeys; a Parallel is of the same Strength with a Star of the first Magnitude; and what Aspects are made in the Primum Mobile, the same are made in the Horizon or World: Yet many are the likeness between the Parallels in the world, and Parallels in the Primum Mobile, as may be found in place where.  
First. A ☌ is when two Planets are in one and the self same 
Of a Conjunction.  Degree and Minute of a Sign, both as to latitude as well as longitude, and he that doth not regard the one as well as the other, must needs Err; as their reason and practice shall tell them: For if a Planet be in 10 degrees of ♊ having no latitude, and another Planet be in the self same Sign and Degree, having 3 dg. of South lattitude, and they be to be directed under the Pole 51 dg. according to the common way of direction, we shall find it will be 6 Years, 63 Days, before the Direction will come up, according to Naibods measure of Time: That which is most practised, tho' not the truest; which is a sufficient demonstrable Reason to satisfy all the Ingenious Sons of Urania; that two Planets cannot be said to be in a partil Conjunction, or Aspect, except their Positions be to a Degree and Minute, both as to Latitude, and Longitude, as I said before, etc.  
Secondly. Although we mention a ☌ or Aspect, to consist of a just number of Degrees and Minutes, yet they being very seldom so found, therefore they go under two Denominations, viz. Partil, and Platick: now a Partil Conjunction or Aspect, is when two Planets are exactly in so many Degrees, or so many dg. and min. of a Sign; or so many dg. and min. from each other, both as to Latitude and Longitude; as I said before as makes a perfect ☌ or Aspect, etc.  
But the Platick admits of the Rays or Moiety of the Orbs of each Planet, which are so in Aspect of each other; and in this we ought to consider the Latitude; for many times when we think the Aspect to be but platick, it may prove partil; which is caused by the Planets great Latitude; and for want of this due consideaation, many an able Artist Errs in his Judgement; which brings a great Scandal upon the Art, and makes many People to have but a mean Opinion of the same, by reason of such Grand Mistakes and Oversights, etc.  
The Orbs of the Planets are to be understood thus; ♄ and ♃ 9 deg. ♂ ♀ and ☿ 7 deg. the ☉ 15 deg. and the ☽ 
Orbs of the Planets.  12 degr.  
Thirdly. The Planets have allowed them every one two Signs 
Lords of Signs.  or Houses a piece, ☉ and ☽ excepted, they having but each of them One; ♄ hath allotted him the Signs ♑ and ♒, to ♃ ♐ and ♓, ♂ owns ♈ and ♏, and the ☉ ♌, ♀ ♉ and ♎, ☿ ♊ and ♍, and the ☽ ♋, etc.  
Fourthly. Of the Radiations of the Houses and Signs, which are in two small Tables as followeth, etc. Of the Rad. of the Host Of the Rad. of the Sig. 
Radiations of the Houses and Signs.  Ho. ⚹ □ △ ☍ Si. ⚹ □ △ ☍ 1 3: 11 4: 10 5: 9 7 ♈ ♊ ♒ ♋ ♑ ♌ ♐ ♎ 2 4: 12 5: 11 6: 10 8 ♉ ♋ ♓ ♌ ♒ ♍ ♑ ♏ 3 1: 5 6: 12 7: 11 9 ♊ ♈ ♌ ♍ ♓ ♎ ♒ ♐ 4 2: 6 1: 7 8: 12 10 ♋ ♉ ♍ ♈ ♎ ♏ ♓ ♑ 5 3: 7 2: 8 9: 1 11 ♌ ♊ ♎ ♉ ♏ ♈ ♐ ♒ 6 4: 8 3: 9 10: 2 12 ♍ ♋ ♏ ♊ ♐ ♉ ♑ ♓ ☍ △ □ ⚹ H. ☍ △ □ ⚹ sig  
These Tables are so plain and easy, that they need no Explanation; yet lest some young Students should complain, and say they understand them not, they being unacquainted with our Method, therefore I think it will be requisite to unfold the meaning of them, which are as followeth, etc.  
Thus, on the top of each Table you have the Title, 
Example.  and in the next Line below, the Aspects, and in the first Column of the first Table you have House at the top, and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and ☍ down to the bottom; so in the last Column, House 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, and ☍ to the top; now if you guide your eye from the number 1 in the first Column till you come under ⚹ in the second, you shall find 3, 11, which shows the 3d. and 11th. Houses to be in ⚹ to the 1st. and in the third Coll. under □ is 4, and 10, which denotes that the 1st. 4th. and 10th. are in □. the 4th. Coll. shows the 1st. 5th. and 9th. to be in △. and the 5th. Coll. shows the 1st. and 7th. to be in ☍, as the Lines and Columns themselves will express by their numbers and Characters; and so throughout the whole Table entering either at top or bottom, with the number of the House, the like is to be understood in the Signs, as may be seen by Inspection, as thus, ♈ ♊ and ♒ are in ⚹, ♈ ♋ and ♑ in □, ♈ ♌ and ♐ in △, and ♈ and ♎ in ☍, and so of the Rest, etc.  
Fifthly. Of the Antistions of the Planets, and the way of take-in 
Of Antiscians'.  them, by the Tables of Declination, regard being had to the Latitude and Declination of the Planet, as well as the Longitude; and he that takes them otherwise, knows not what he doth, except the Planet hath no Latitude, than it will fall out right according to their way, otherwise not; for many times a Planet hath so great Latitude, that there can be no Antistion, because it falls quite out of the Ecliptic Line; nay sometimes when a Planet hath not that great Latitude, it falls out of the Ecliptic Line, therefore can be no Antistion, as I shall instance in several Examples.  
And as for the Contrantistions, there is no such thing, 
Contrantiscians'.  let who will say it, and the Reason is, because the Antistion can cast no contrary Shadow; the Antistion being but a Shadow cast contrary itself, etc.   

Examples followeth.  
Suppose a Planet to be posited in 10 Dg. of ♊, he having 
Example.  no Latitude, and it were desired to know his Antistion; in the Tables of declination, enter the last column to the right-hand, (having ♊ at the Bottom) with 10 Dg. of Longitude, and in the Angle of meeting under 0 Dg. of Latiude, you shall find 22 Dg. 2 m. which is the Planets Declination; against which in the first Column to the left hand having ♋ a top, you will find 20 Dg. which is the Planets Antistion, as in the common way of taking it: But here observe, the Planet hath no Latitude, therefore upon necessity must happen so, but if the Planet had but one Dg. of Latitude, either North or South, it would have made a considerable alteration in the Antistion.  
Sixthly. How to take the Antistion of a Planet with Latitude, a 
Example.  thing not used by the common Astrologers; and the reason is, because they understand it not; therefore I shall desire them not to be high and Prodigal, but mildly to receive Instructions; which they shall have in three or four Examples which I think is sufficient for the slenderst Capacity in this World, that pretends to the least knowledge in this Mystical Science; which jam sure few understands, though many have the confidence to pretend to, and practise the same, and so become common cheaters of the Town, and indeed the Country to; Abusing the Art, and the honest Professors of the same; as I could instance many, who impudently put out Bills, declaring their 20 Years Experience, besides the strange things they have foretold; with their Calculations of Nativities, and teaching the whole Art of Astrology; when it's certain they understand no more in Starry Diatect, than some old Women do of Martial Discipline.  
Suppose ♀ to be in 22 dg. of ♎, she having 5 dg. of North Lat. and it were required to know where, and in what dg. of ♓ she sends her Antistion.  
I enter the Table of Declination, with her Longitude in the first Column to the left hand, having ♎ at top, 
Example.  and in the Angle of meeting under 5 dg. of Lat. I find 3 dg. 58m. which Number I look for in the second Column to the left hand, and I find it exact; and next to it in the first Column is 10dg. against which, in the last Column of all, having ♓ at the bottom, I find 20 dg. of ♓, which is the Antistion of ♀; she being in 22dg. of ♎ having 5dg. of North Lat. as the Tables themselves will show by Inspection; and Note, if at any time you have any odd m. of Longitude or Latitude, you must equate for them, as you do in taking a Planets Declination, or Right Ascension, etc.  
Take another Example for Practice; Suppose ☿ to be in 6 Degrees of ♈, having 2 dg. South Lat. and were required 
Example.  to know where, and in what dg. of ♍ he sends his Antistion, I enter the Table of Declination, in the last Column to the Right Hand, (having ♈ at the bottom) with 6 dg. of Longitude, and in the Angle of meeting under 2 dg. of Lat. I find 33 m. this 33m. I seek for in the second Column to the left hand, which I find not, but I find 24, which Number is 9 too little, than I subtract 24 from 48, the Number above it, and the difference is 24; then I say by the Rule of Proportion, if 60 give 24, what shall 9 give, viz. near 7, which must be substracted out of 29 dg. of ♍ as I find it in the first Coll. to the left hand; so the Antistion of ☿ will fall in 28 dg. 53m. of ♍, etc.  
But it happens (sometimes) that a planet can have no Antistion; as I have said else where, and it shall be proved in this following Example,  
As thus, suppose ♀ were posited in 20 dg. of ♐, having 
Example.  three dg. South Lat. with her Long. I enter the first Coll. to the left hand (having ♐ at the top) and I guide my Eye along until Icome just against, or more properly under 3 dg. of lat. and in the Angle of meeting, I find 26dg. 8m. which Number I seek for, in the second Coll. to the left hand; but I find it not, nor no number near it; which shows that ♀ sends no Antistion to that Place; because it falls out of the Ecliptic Line; except you neglect her lat. as many half witted Fellows have done all along, and then it will fall in 10dg. of ♑, according to the common way of taking it; a great Error, O! what grand mistakes do Men make for want of a due understanding.  
Perhaps some will be pecking at me for these things; 
Note.  but such I will give to understand that I value them not. And thus much for the true and exact way of taking Antistions, for he that offers to take them without observing, lat. long. and declination, must needs run into Error and Confusion.  

A Table of the Antistions.  ♊ ♋ By this Table you may see that a Planet in ♊ sends his Antistion to ♋; as the Tables of Declination themselves will 
Table.  direct, etc. ♉ ♌ ♈ ♍ ♓ ♎ ♒ ♏ ♑ ♐  
Seaventhly. The Ho. of ♄ are in ☍ to the ho. of the Luminaries: ♃. 2 Houses are in △, ♂ 2 Houses in □, ♀ 2 Houses in ⚹, ☿ beholds 
Honses.  them not at all: Hence it appears ♄ is the greater infortune, and ♃ the greater Fortune; ☿ is neither good nor bad, but like a Chip in Pottage, doth neither good nor hurt, but when he is with a Fortune, or Infortune, either by Body or Aspect; so ♄ and ♂ are Infortune's; ♃ and ♀ Fortunes; the ☉ ☿ and ☽ indifferent, etc.  
Eighthly. The Planets mean Motion: ♄ 2m. 1s. ♃ 4m. 59s. ♂ 31m. 27s. ☉ ♀ and ☿ have each 59m. 8s. and the ☽ 13d. 10m. 36s. this is what they move in 24. Hours; yet 
Planets mean Motion.  sometimes they move faster, and sometimes slower; and sometimes it falls out, that ♄ ♃ ♂ ♀ and ☿ stand stock still, and therefore are called Stationary, etc.  
In the next place I shall treat of the 〈◊〉 descriptions and significations of the 12 Signs of the Z●…k.   

First of the Sign Aries.  

Nature of ♈  ARies is a Masculine, Diurnal, Equinoctial, Movable, Cardinal, Easterly Sign, of the fiery triplicity, hot and dry, in Nature chollorick, intemperate, and violent; it's the day house of ♂ the Exaltation of the ☉; and the triplicity of Sol and ♃, contains 13 fixed Stars, and is beastial.  

♈ giveth of itself.  First this Sign describes a Person of a mean Stature, lean and spare dry Body, but big bones long Visage, a swarthy Complexion hazle eyes, crooked nose, a light or yellowish coloured hair, some what Curling, little eyes and feet, black eyebrows, broad thick shoulders, and well set; the first part of the Sign gives the body more gross than the latter: This Sign incites a man to choler, makes him witty and Ingenuous, quick of apprehension,  

Places.  Secondly, places, it signifies where Sheep and all sorts of small cattle do feed, or use to be; as private unfrequented places, sandy and hilly grounds, places of Refuge for theives; Lands newly taken in or Ploughed up; or where bricks tiles, potters ware, charcoal or lime have been Burned. In houses, that part thereof where small Beasts use to be kept, also covering, ceiling, plastering Fire-place stove, furnace, or the like, generally the Stable; also bake-houses, glass-houses, smiths shops, all places where fire is used, also Iron is kept, or Weapons of War, and is Eastern.  

Diseases.  Thirdly, Diseases, all bushes, whelks, and pimples, freckles, and sun-burning in the Face, Polipus, or Nolimetangere, hare-lips, all Diseases in the Head, as headache of all sorts, vertigo, frenzy, lithargy, forgetfulness, catalepsy, apoplexy, dead palsy, coma, falling-sickness, convulsions, cramps, madness, melancholy, trembling, St. Anthony's Fire, blisters, burnings, scaldings, blasts, migraines, toothache, baldness deafness, loss of Sight and Speech. It gives a Colour white, and red mixed therewith.

Take notice, a Planet causeth diseases two ways; first by Sympathy, secondly by Antipathy, and as the cause is so ought the cure to be; for Saturn causeth toothache. 
Causeth disseases by sympathy.  broken bones, dislocations, laxations, deafness, melancholy, and all diseases of the spleen by Sympathy, and the reason is, because he ruleth the retentive faculty throughout the whole Body.  
And those parts of the Body which are under the dominion of the Sun and Moon he fflicts by Antipathy, and you shall know what they are immediately, if you will have but a little Patience; and take notice of this, it is the greatest wisdom of a Physician, to know whether Saturn causeth the disease by Sympathy, or Antipathy.

Qualities and professions of men and Women under the dominion of the Moon, are Empresses, Queens, Princes, Duchess', Ladies, widows, Ambassadors, the common people, Vintners, brewer's fishmongers, mariners, carriers, coachmen, footmen, messengers, fishermen, watermens, midwives, nurses, tapsters, also the mistrses of the house, to which might be aded travellers, fugitives, fish-women and the like.  

Out of houses.  Ninthly. The Moon denots out of houses, wildernesses, woods, rocks, hills, mountains, forests, fountains, rivers, ponds, seas, and seashores, ships groves, springs, and other sweet waters, high ways, grainaries for corn.  

In houses.  Tenthly. The Moon denots in houses, the washhouse cellar, cistern, wells, pipes, Cocks, dranes, pumps, and all places where water is commonly kept, also places of linen.  

Kingdom's  Eleventhly. Kingdoms and countries under the Moon in Cancer are, Bithynia, Phrygia, Colchica, Numidia, Africa, Carthage, and also Carchedonia.  

Rules Parts of the Body.  Twelvethly. The Moon, rules in the body of man and woman, the bulk of the brain, the stomach, the bowels, the bladder, the nerves, the left eye of a man, and the right eye of a woman.  

Diseases caused by Luna.  Thirteenththly. The Moon causeth cramps, convulsions, and all diseases that often return as agues do also tempanies, apoplexies, palsies colic, belly ache, diseases in the bladder, stopping and over flowing of the terms in women, dropsies, fluxes, all cold and rheumatic diseases sciatica, worms in the belly, rheums and hurts in the eyes, surfiets, rotten coughs, convulsions, falling-sickness Kings-evil, aposthumes rickets and measles, all coagulate and crude humours in any part of the body, lethargies and all diseases of phlegm.  

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

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

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

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

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

Example in John Blanchard's Nativity.  

Example.  The Moons semidiurnal Arch. is 8 h. 15 m. a third part is 2h. 45m. which converted is, 41gr. 15m. for the space of one House; the Moon's distance from the 10. House, in R. A. is 33gr. 50m. the Pole of the 11th House is 23gr. then by the log. logar. I say if 41 gr. 15m. (being the space of one house) gives 23gr. the Pole of the 11th. House; what shall 33gr. 50m. (the Moon's distance from the 10th. House) give; I say it gives 18gr. 52m. for the Moons true Pole or Circle of Position; and now because it is near 19gr. I take 19gr. for her Pole; and Note this, ●f the odd min. at any time exceed 30, accept of it as a whole degr. but if they be under 30 reject them.  
1. Log. Logar. of 41gr. 15m. Com. Arith. is 8373. 2. Log. Logar. of 23gr. the Pole of the 11th. 4164. 3. Log. Logar. of 33gr. 50m. the distance is 2488.  The Sum is 5025.  
Which is the log. logar. of 18gr. 52m. for the Moons true Pole of Position, etc.  

Note.  And Note this in taking the compli. Arithmetic of any Number, you must take the log. logar. of your deg. and min. from the Radius, and the remainder is the comp. Arith.  
As thus; the Radius 10000 Log. Logar. of 41gr. 15m. is sub: 1●27. Rests the comp. Arith. viz. 8373.  
In this Treatise we have often mentioned Equation, or making Proportion; now for ease to young Artists, we think the best way, will be to do it by a Table of Logistical Logarithms, where there can be no better to make Proportions, which take as followeth.    

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

Example.  
The log. logar. of 24h. come. Arith. 6021. Log. logar. of ☉ diur. motion 59m. 7855. Log. logar. of 15 hours is 6021. The Sum is 19897.  
Which is the log. logar. of 37m. to be added to the Sun's Place.  
Secondly 2 Numbers given, to find a 3d.  
Thus, take the come. Arith. of the 1st. and the log● logar. of the 2d. and 3d. add all together, and you will have your desire.  
Now if the first Number exceed 60, take the half, and the half of the last, and work as before; but if the 2d. Number exceed 60, take half, and work as before; only Note, that what comes out must be doubled and you will have your desire, and likewise observe, that if it be hours and minutes, it must be converted into dg. and min● But if the first be h. and min. and the second dg. and min. and the 3d. hours and minutes, it will be exact without converting; always observing, that the first and third Number be of one denomination, and then you cannot Err.  
Also with these Logistical Logarithms, you may work Multiplication, or Division, which although it be of no great use in this place, yet for a whet to the Ingenious, we will insert it.  
First. For Multiplication, take the log. logar. of one with come. Arith. and the log. logar. of the other two Numbers, add all together, and you will have the log. logar. desired.  
Secondly in Division. Take the log. logar. come. Arith. of what you would divide by, and the log. logar. of the number to be divided, and the log. logar. of one; add all three together, and you have the log. logar. desired, which is very easy.    


To take the semidiurnal Arch of ☉  HOw to take the femidiurnal Arch of the ☉ he being in 15gr. of ♉, and in the Latitude of 46gr. I enter the first Column to the left hand decending with the ☉ place, and guide my eye along till I come just under 46gr. of l●t. and in the Angle of Meeting I find 7h. 11m. which is the ☉ semidiurnal Arch in 15gr. of ♉ and his seminocturnal Arch in 15gr. of ♏ as the Table itself doth express; and so off the roast.  
Note, when you would have the semidiurnal Arch of the six southern Signs, you must take the Compliment to 12 hours; as if the ☉ were in 6gr. or ♐, his semidiurnal Arch is 4h. 24m. understand the contrary in the Northern Signs.

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

Properties of the Stars  Secondly. The principal Properties of the Stars are two, viz. Intention, and Extension, the less is the Colours, which may be found in the Stars by our S●nces; neither from that are corruptible things made Stars; for it has been said, new appearances have made alteration in the Heavens, which oftentimes, yea more often; the same are objected by us, for colours may also be found in uncorruptible bodies. Yea there is nothing to be 〈◊〉 which hath no● a Colour.  
There are other properties in the Stars, as the Form and Disposition, Clearness, Obscurity, and their local motion is a certain Passion, by which they apply to increase and diminish in light, they rise, set, go back, and sometimes seem near, and sometimes far of.  
Thirdly. The Stars do not act nor suffer by turn, altho' they receive light from the Sun, yet from the proper cause of them they ●end a change ●…to us, but they after their Action 〈…〉 upon 〈◊〉 Subject, 〈◊〉 as they 〈◊〉 agree in their Actings, and this shall suffice for all the 〈◊〉 of their Effects, etc.  
Fourthly. Although the Stars by their Motions in the Heaven, do change their Places, and have the determinate Degree of intention, and the definite quantity of the Extension of their Light, they do not act upon inferiors, according to the true and real Intention, and Extension of the Light, which they have in themselves; but only according to their appearing, when they come to those Bodies that are subject unto them, wherefore the Stars Govern Sublunary things, according to that degree of Intention only, and the quality of Extension of Light, by which they touch those passable Bodies, but the lesser Intention and Extension are; from whence there is the greatest distance of the Stars, from subject things; also they act according to that Extension which they cast forth; as we may most Evidently see in the ☽; for they act according to their Situation and Parallax, upon the Bodies by which they pass; the Eclipses which are not beheld have no Influence, and new Appearances only act in those Places where they are seen; their Effects are only there manifest, and in what places the Stars rise not, they have no Power.  
Fifthly. The Stars are certain, indeterminate, and universal causes to specificks, and individual effects, but they are determinated for the truth, to whom they are Visible and of nearest cause; as the ☉ maketh wax soft, clay hard, a Worm white, the Skin of Man black, with a Man, he begets a Man, with a Lion, a Lyon.  
Sixthly. The Stars cannot be Signs of Effect, unless they be the Causes also; wherefore Qustions may arise from the manner of the Ancients, that they have no places by Nature, unless by chance in sudden Effects, in which whilst they move, the nearest causes of natural Effects, they also move the parts, organs, and members of things under their influence: In all things brought forth by Generation, they give Form and Motion, etc. The present State of the Stars are forced to act their effects according to the preordinate, and preexistant Power; therefore they cause or incline, and are not altogether Signs and Constellations, when they are stirred up to act their Effects upon present things; their Effects proceed from the like Causes of Preordination, for unlike Causes cannot stir up to Action, dislike preexistances, according to the power of the Effects, etc.  
Seaventhly. And that we may distinguish, and know the Effects of singular Stars, it is convenient to know the distinction, natures, and order of their Effects, according to the Doctrine of the best of Philosophers; from the first principal qualities and mixtures, are given the Matter and substantial Form; all these we distinguish in the two first Ki●… the Passive or Feminine, the Active or Masculine; to 〈◊〉 first we allege the matter, the quantity and quality, because it is Passive in all its Qualities; from which flows moisture, dryness, thinness, and thickness, etc.  
To the Masculine we attribute the substantial material Form, because it is Active, as light and heat; cold, taste, smell, and sound, are the Active Virtues of Mixtures, etc.  
Eighthly. The Virtues or Qualities of Mixtures, are truly worthy of Admiration, before the multitude Diversities and Effects thereof; for we do not say they are Elementary, neither to proceed from the Elements, but are Celestial Qualities, which have altogether their Being from the Celestial Light; wherefore there are, Elemental and Celestial Qualities of divers Kind's; and although the Stars by turns produce elementary Qualities in Transmutation; yet they produce also, more powerful Qualities in those things which they are near; as to the production of universal Mixtures: We also say with Aristotle, that altogether Celestial Qualities, proceeds from the ☉ and ☽, agreeing, as vital Heat, and radical Moisture in Animals; that so we cannot deny from the rest of the Stars, from which is made such a distinction, of divers Mixtures of a contrary Nature; for as the Luminaries with the Malefacts, produces poisonous Matter, or Enemies to them, etc. so they produce with the Benevolents the contrary; from whence Antipathy and Sympathy, have their beginning in themselves, now the Qualities of Mixtures, and also of the Elements, are first in power, at least according to Nature, afterwards into Action; but those have it, by the manner of their being, for they go successively to Action from their Powers; wherefore from thence they are restored to their helping and actual Qualities; by Vital Heat, and Radical Moisture, they give to the Power of Animals; Sensitive, Digestive, Retentive, and Expulsive Faculties, etc. which are distinguished in themselves, and they have one and the same Exercise and Action, to which is Power given; First, than Action, these vital Qualities are distinguished into two, viz. Naturally, and Violently; First by a final consumption of preexistant Power in Old Age; Secondly by violent Extension from contrary and violent Causes; the Stars although they never desist from acting, and altering of things inferior, yet they do not produce notable Effects from that alteration, unless in familiar things, etc.  
Ninthly. Various, and divers are the Opinions of the Ancients, about the celestial Houses, but that which we allow of, is those of Ptolomy's double temporal hours, all the rest we reject, as void foolish and insignificant; the Signs and Houses have a real distinction, not in the Heavens; but in the Subject inferior, according to this manner, the influx of the Stars are to be received; the Signs have likewise a true and real kind after the same manner; for the Masculine by a proper influx to the place of their first beginning are Active; the Feminine, to the place of their first beginning are Passive, so from the intention of Light, proceeds the Active Quality; and from the Extension of Light the Passive Quality, etc.  

Hileg or giver of Life.  Tenthly. The givers of Life are in Number five, viz. the ☉, ☽, Ascendant, Midheaven, and ♁, and they which Respect any other, must needs Run into Error and Confusion.  
Now the Aphetical places in the World, from whence the Giver of Life is taken, are also five, viz. the Ascendant, 11th. 10th. 9th. and 7th. Houses; so that if the ☉, be found in any of these Aphetical places, he shall be accepted as Hileg or Giver of Life, but if he should happen to be in the 2d. 3d. 4th. 5th. 6th. 8th. or 12th. Houses than Regard the ☽. and see if she be in any of the a foresaid places which if she be Accept of her for giver of Life, the Nativity being either Diurnal or Nocturnal; and if the ☽ be not so posited, then take notice of the ♁ in the night time and if he be found in any of the Aphetical places, then, he shall be Hileg or Giver of Life, but if neither ☉ ☽ nor ♁ be thus found; then Regard the Horoscope, or Ascendant, and that shall be the giver of Life, but if neither ☉ ☽, nor ♁ should be posited as a foresaid, then neglect all, and take the Midheaven for the giver of Life, but take Notice, that this is to be understod, when the Native is like to die by the Hand of Justice; and further Note, that there can be but one Giver of Life in any Nativity, and when ever that comes to the body or ill Aspect, of the Anareta, or Killing Star, the Native most certainly Expires.  
Lastly. In the next place, you must note, as there are five hilegicals, or givers of Life; and five hilegical places from whence they are taken, so are there five places in the figure, from whence the Anareta or Killing Planet is to be taken; and are as followeth viz. the 2d. 12. th' 8th. 6th. and 4th. houses; preferring the 8th. house and its Lord first, the 4th. and it's Lord next; the 12th. and it's Lord next; the 6th. house and its Lord next; and last of all the 2d. house and its Lord; and note this that the 12th. house commonly denotes self Murder, or wilful sickness, also Diseases unnatural; the 6th. diseases Natural; the 8th. house Death both Violent and Natural; the 2d. house Death through Covetousness and Dispair; and the 4th. house is the Grave and end of all things, and further Note, that fixed Signs, gives linger Diseases, Common Signs Variable; and Movable Signs gives diseases, that quickly Ends one way or other, also Fiery Signs gives diseases of Cholour; Earthy signs diseases of melancholy, Airyal Signs diseases of the blood and Wind, and Watery Signs gives diseases of Phlegm, or as we commonly call them phlegmatic distempers, likewise ♄ and ☿ gives melancholy distempers, ♃ and ♀ diseases of the blood ♂ and ☉ diseases of Choler, and ☽ diseases of Phlegm.  
Now as to the measure of Time in Directions, Divers are the opinions of Authors, some take a Degree of the Equator for a year, others the Motion of the ☉, of the day of Birth for a year, others the mean Motion of the Sun; and some otherwise. But we for the first year after the Nativity, take that part of the Equator, that a grease with the Right Ascension of the ☉, for that day, and for the day following, and so successively every day; which shall be the Arches for so many years, etc.  

In the next Place. For the true Zodiacal Way of Directions, and first how to Direct the Sun being near the Midheaven, etc.  
THus we Account the ☉ near the Cusp of the House 
To direct Sol being near the M. C.  when he is but 3 dg. distant from it, etc. First take the R. A. of the ☉, then the place of the Aspects viz. the R. A. whether it be to a ☌ or ☍; the Latitude in this Case is to be neglected, if he have not greater than his Orb; if he hath, it is not to be neglected? this is the difference between the Horozontal (or Mundane) and Zodiacal Aspects, because they are made from the greatest nearness, to the greatest distance of the Stars, amongst themselves; and above the real way of them in the Zodiac: The greatest nearness happens in the same partil Longitude, although they are distant and differ according Latitude; unless as I have said, the Latitude in either ☌ or ☍, exceed the greatness of their Orb; if it be greater, than is the ☌ or ☍ in the Zodiac of small force; now sub. the R. A. of the ☉, from the R. A. of the Planets Aspect, and the Remainder is the Arch of Direction, etc.  
Example, The M. C. is ♏ 8 dg. 15m. the ☉ in ♏ 8dg. 21m. to be directed to the ☌ of ♀, in 22dg. 45m. of ♐, etc.  
The R. A. of the ☉ is 215dg. 58m. the R. A. of ♀ is, 262 dg. 8m. I sub. the R. A. of the ☉, from the R. A. of ♀, and there remains 46dg. 10m. which is the Arch of Direction, which is to be equated, etc.   

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

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

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

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

Fourthly.  

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

Fifthly.  

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

As For Example.  

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

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

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

Sixthly.  
To Direct the Sun, being found beyond the Parallel of Twilight, under the Earth, etc.  

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

Example.  

Example.  Let the ☉ be in 11dg. 45m. of ♒, to be directed to an Aspect in 22d. 35m. of ♓, the seminocturnal Arch 〈…〉 the ☉ is 7h. 7m. the whole Arch of Twilight, being su●… which is one hour 43m. the remainder 5h. 24m. is t●… Arch of Obscurity; the Sun's distance from the 4th. House, in R. A. is 40dg. 11m. etc.  
Now the seminocturnal Arch of the Aspect, is 6h. 11m. and his Arch of Twilight is 1h. 39m. which being sub. from the seminocturnal Arch, leaves 4h. 32m. for the Arch of Obscurity: Now the Aspects distance from the 4th. House in R. A. is 79d. 10m. then by the Rule of Proportion say, if 5h. 24m. gives 40d. 11m. what shall 4h. 32m. give, viz. 33d. 44m.    

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tenthly.  

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

Eleaventhly. Of Mundane Directions, etc.  

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

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

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

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

Example.  

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

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

Another way to direct the ascendant.  
Take one third part of the Stars semidiurnal arch, from is right Asc. and from the remainder sub. the right asc. If the M. C. and the residue is the Arch of Direction, of 
Anothe way  ●…e ⚹ Aspect as before, etc. But if you add the third part 〈◊〉 the Stars semid. Arch to his R. A. and from the sum 〈◊〉. the R. A. of the M. C. there rests the Arch of Directi●… to a △, etc.  
But if you seek for the Aspects under the Earth, you ●…e to divide the Stars seminoct. Arch into 3 equal parts, and do in all cases as before, but instead of the M. C. take the 4th. House for your Work, etc.  

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

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

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

Sixteenthly. Now to direct a Significator, being near the Cusp of any House, to a Conjunction or Opposition, do thus.  
FIrst, if a Significator shall be within 3d. of the M. C. take his R. A. and the R. A. of the Promittors Body 
To direct a Siguificator.  or 8, regarding his lat. etc.  
But if within 3d. of the Ascendant, take the ob. Asc. of both, viz. the Significator and Promittor, under the Pole of the House, then sub. the Significator from the Promittor, regarding his lat. if he have any, and the remainder is the Arch of Direction, etc.  
Likewile, if the Stars be upon, or within 3d. of the Cusp of any other House, the direction is the same with the House, viz. directed under the Pole of that House, or by R. A. if upon the M. C. as aforesaid, but if in the descending part, use the opposite Places, etc.  

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

Seaventeenthly. To Direct a Significatior being above 3 deg. distant from the Cusp of any House.  
THus, get the semid. Arch of the Star, if he be above 
To direct a Significator  the Earth, or his feminoct. Arch if under the Earth & his distance from the proceed. or suc. cusps of the house, (which you please) then take the feminoct. or semid. arch of the Promittor, (with this Caution) if the Aspect be above the Earth, take his semid. Arch, but if under the Earth, his seminoct. Arch, and this you may know by the very Houses themselves, for the 10th. hath the 8th. & 12th. houses for a ⚹, and 〈◊〉 and 7th. for a □, the 6th and 2d. for a △, and so of the rest, etc. Then by the Rule of Proportion say; if the semid. or seminoct. Arch of the Significator gives his distance from the Cusp of the House, what shall the semid. or seminoct. Arch of the Promittor give; which shall be the secondary distance of the Promittor, from the Cusp of the preceding or following House, that you took the Significa. or Promittor from; which if they be taken both from the Houses preceding, or succeeding; than sub. the lesser from the greater, and the remainder is the Arch of Direction; but if the one preceded, and the other succeed, then add the Numbers both together, and you will have the Arch of Direction, etc.   

Eightenthly. To Direct a significator to his own aspects.  
But note this, the ☉ and ☽ are only to be directed this way and when they come to their own aspects, 
To direct a Significator  they have most notable Effects, where note that the Direction of the ☉ or ☽ to their proper ⚹, is no more, then taking the two third parts of their semidiurnal or seminocturnal arches according to their position, a 'bove or under the Earth etc.  
The □ is the whole semidiurnal or seminocturnal arch; and if you add the fifth part of the semidiurnal or seminocturnal arch to the ⚹, you have the quintil, and so of the rest; as you have been taught already; so that two third parts of the semid. or seminoct. arch, is the arch of direction of the ⚹, and the whole semid. or seminoct. arch is the arch of direction for the square aspect etc.   

Nineteenthly. To direct a Significator to Parallels in the World  
Parallels in the World, are no other than as when two Stars are equally distant from any of the four Cardinal Houses, etc.  
AS thus if one Star be upon the Cusp of the 11th. House, and another upon the Cusp of the 9th. they 
To direct a Significat.  are in exact Parallel, being of equal destance from the M, C. etc. So likewise one being upon the 12th. and another on the Cusp of the 2d. they are also in Parallel, as being of equal distance from the Horoscope, etc. Where Note that in these Parallels the distance is found from several parts, as a Star on the Cusp of the 12th. is in Parallel to the 8th. 2d. and 6th. Houses; and one on the 11th. is in Parallel to the 9th. 3d. and 5th. Houses, and so of the 〈◊〉: Now if two Stars are in Parallel, and both above the Earth, take their distance from the M. C. in R. A. and call this the 1st. Distance, then by the Rule of Proportion say, if the semid. Arch of the Significator gives his distance from the M. C. what shall the semid. Arch of the Promittor give; which being known, you are to work as in the Direction of the Sun above the Earth, as in the Zodiacal Aspects, etc.  
But if the Star be under the Earth, take their distance from the fourth house and work as before, their distance may likewise betaken from the Horizon and work as before with obli. ascen. but if one be above the Earth and another under the Earth, take the distance of one from the M. C. and the other from the fourth house and work as before; else take the oppsite place of that which is under the Earth etc. But if they are both under the Earth take their distance from the fourth house and work as before, only remember this for the semid iurnal arches take the seminocturnal arches, for I shall advise you not to be like the Surveyer who Measured continually from Oxford to London, and from London to Oxford again; when he was appointed to measure from Oxford to London, and from London to Cambridg, etc. Now by these parallels in the World we conceive the significator to remain Imovable in the Horary Circle of his position, because in a Nativity, the virtue of the significator as well as the promittor, in the fame, Primum Mobile is Imprinted, and this according to the opinion of all Professors; etc. Likewise both these Virtues are brought to, by the Motion of the Primum Mobile from East to West.   

Twentyethly. To direct the Sun, being under the Earth to any aspect.  
If the ☉ be in the space of twilight; first get the direction 
to direct the ☉ under the Earth.  of the ☉ to the aspect of the Promittor, whether it be ⚹. □. or △, as before taught, which arch call the feigned arch.  
Secondly. you must know to what deg. of the Zodiac. the ☉ cometh to at that time, by takeing his pole (according to the Rule) and there his Ob. Asc. and to that by ading the feigned arch a foresaid, and the sum is the Ob. Ascen. of the dg. of the Zodiac; to which the ☉ cometh on both sides; else it will signify little; in this way of direction: then with the ☉ is Primary distance from the Horizon see what parallel of twilight he possess, and therein the same take his secondary distance; to which the supposed feigned direction shall come; then by the Rule of proportion say, if the seminoct arch of the ☉, gives his secondary distance from the Horoscope; what shall the semid. or seminoct. arch, of the promittor give, and the fourth Number shall be the secondary distance of the promittor, from the Cardinal or any other house, from whence you seek a proportinal distance; and so you obtain the arch of direction; etc.   

Twenty 1st. To direct the Sun out of the space of Twilight, etc.  
FIrst you are to find the feigned place of the Aspect as before taught. Secondly you must know to what 
to direct the ☉ out of twilight.  dg. of the Ecliptic the ☉ cometh to by this direction; then say, if the Arch of obscurity of the ☉, gives his primary distance from the fourth House, what shall the obscure arch of the Elliptical dg. give which the ☉ cometh to by this direction, and the product is the secondary distance from the fourth House, etc.  
Now if the ☉ be in the 3d. or fourth Houses, use this distance; but if he be in the 2d. or fifth Houses, sub. from this distance one third part of ☉ seminoct. Arch and the remainder is the ☉ 2d. distance from the 3d. or 5th. Houses: Then say, if the seminoct. Arch of the ☉ give his secondary distance from the determinate House, what distance shall the seminoct. Arch of the Promittor give (from that House) so work as you were taught before, etc.   

Twenty 2d. To direct a Significator to all Aspects Converse, which are made in the World.  
WHat hath been said of Mundane Directions, in directing the Significators, to the Promittors; the 
To direct a Significator  difference in this converse Direction, is no other than where as we took the seminoct. or semid. Arch of the Significator, etc.  
Now in this, we take semid. or seminoct. Arch of the Promittor first, and work as if the Promittor were Significator: But Note this, that none of the cardinal Houses are to be directed conversly, for they have no Motion to the preceding Planet or Aspect, etc.   

Twenty 3d. To find out the Number of Years the Native may Live according to Ptolomp's Doctrine, by directing the giver of Life to the West.  
THat is, if any Planet, by Body or Aspect shall come between the Giver of Life, and the Cusp of the 
Of Years.  7th. House, take his distance by ob. descent. and divide their distance by 12, and what remains keep; where Note that all the Aspects of ♃ and ♀; the remainder after division, are to be added to the distance of the giver of Life from the 7th. House, and the remainder of the Aspects of ♄ & ♂ are to be sub. there from, and what remains shows the Number of years the Native may Live, etc.  

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

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

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

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

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

Thirdly of TRANSITS  
SOme are active, and some are passive, the active are the Aspects of the active Stars, by 〈…〉 
Of Transits.  Motion of the Hilegs or Givers of Life, in 〈…〉 (that is to say) with those Immovable places, the ●… Transites are the aspects of the universal significator in the World, with the active Stars at Birth, 〈…〉 to their immovable pla●… therefore the difference 〈…〉 an ●…gression, and at Transit, is this 〈…〉 the places of the 〈…〉 respects the immovable, also the Lumi●… are to be observed in day●… Motions, wheth●… be 〈…〉 or 〈…〉 of the 〈…〉 ☉, upon 〈…〉 hur●… places▪ for when it comes by directio●… gression 〈…〉 good place● and if the Luminaries, 〈…〉 w●ll placed to the ●…ects of the Stars they bring great ●…; but if 〈◊〉 the con●…, they come by direction and progression▪ to●… and the Luminaries 〈…〉 unfortunated 〈…〉 the aspects of the Mali●icks▪ it is 〈…〉 the Native▪ and it is 〈…〉 to be feared, that 〈…〉 signified th●… from 〈…〉 'tis etc. and th●… to Di●… very 〈…〉 happens in those 〈…〉 which 〈…〉 well beheld; by●…lents, & 〈…〉 But 〈…〉 contrary if ill be●…en they sign●…. Diseases, Slaugh●ers and the like and this you will find never fail, it being according to Great Ptolomy's own Doctrine in this most Heavenly Science, and who soever thou art, that makes practice thereof shall see the Truth and Certainty of it etc.   

Fourthly. Of the Part of Fortune, and how to take it.  
ANd in this we shall digress from the Vulgar way of our Modern Authors, who have admonished us 
Of the ♁  to observe the distance of ☉ from ☽, and that shall be the distance of the ♁ from the Ascend. all this we do not deny, but than it must be in the Sphere of ☽, and there it will have the true distance from the Ascend. with the same lat. and decli. of ☽ north or south, although the same happen in Signs of contrary denomination; for ♁ is not always in the Ecliptic, but moves continually in the ☽ s Orbit, and this is to be noted, that so far as the ☉ in his circular Parallel is distant from the dg. ascending, so far shall ☽ be distant from the ♁ in her Parallel or Sphere, etc.  
Now our Method in taking it is twofold; first if the Nativity be diurnal, the true distance of the ☉ from the Ascend. being added to the R. A. of ☽ (with respect to her lat.) will give the true R. A of the ♁, etc.  
But if the Nativity be Nocturnal, let ☉ distance from the Ascend. be sub. from the ☽ R. A. and there will remain the true R. A. of the ♁ as before, etc.  
Secondly. Let the Nativity be either diur. or noct. add the distance of ☉ from the Ascend. to the R. A. of ☽, and the sum shall be the R. A. of the ♁, where note, that in taking the distance of ☉ from the Ascend. it must be done in ob. A. and under the lat. of Birth, etc.  
Now this way is much different from that which is used by our modern Authors, for if it be well noted, a man's own reason will tell him, that their way cannot be true, but very erroneous, because they never regard the ☽ lat. a thing which ought seriously to be considered, etc.  
And if the ♁ be not true taken, it will cause a great error, because many times in noct. Nativities the ♁ happens to be Giver of Life; when it shall chance to be posited in an Aphetical Place, and ☽ not, for we prefer the ♁ before the Ascend. besides it is also directed for the Riches of the Native, and his gain in all affairs, therefore ought warily to be taken.  
Now if these things be kindly accepted of by the Grateful Sons of URANIA, we will (God permitting) afterwards show the Demonstrations according to Mathematical Rules, and then its probable, the Eyes of the common Astrologers may be open, being able to discern the difference between Light and Darkness.   

Fifthly of ANTISTIONS Which I have spoke of in the fore going part but for the better Instruction of Young Students, I shall give a better demonstration of the same; which take as followeth.  
Antistions are no other than real Parallels of Declination which are exact parallel Lines from the Tropics of ♋ and ♑, being so far extended on the o●… 
Of Antisoions.  side of the Tropics, as they themselves are on the other side, and it is to be observed always in 〈◊〉 of the A●… tistion, that there must be regard and to the lat. as 〈…〉 as the long●… no w●… are taught by our modern Author to observe how much the Planet, is short of either of 〈…〉 Tropics in Signs Degrees and Minutes, and so far shall his Antistion fall beyond it; all this we own, provided the Latitude be taken, etc.  

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

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

Seaventhly and Last. How to Equate the Arch of Direction, etc.  
DO thus, add the Arch of direction to the R. A. of ☉ at Birth, and look for that Sum in the Tables of 
How to equate the Arch of Direction.  R. A. in the Ecliptic; and take the de. and m. corosponding thereto, then in an Ephemeris see how many days and hours the ☉ from the day and hour of Birth will be, ere he come to that de. & m. and so many years it will point out; and for every two hours more than the complete day account one month, and so you have the true Arch of direction.  
Suppose the Arch of direct. were 46dg. 30m. ☉ R. A. were 197dg 31m. the sum is 243dg. 1m. to which in the Tables of R. A. answers 4dg. 58m. of ♐; Now the Birth was, October the 1st. 1648. If you enter an Ephemeris for that date (or for any other date, provided it be exact) and look for ♐ 4dg. 58m. being ☉ s place, you will find it to fall on the 16th. day of November 6h. 18m. which points out from the day of Birth, 46 years, 3 months, 4 days, and 12 hours; this is the only real and exact Method used in the Universe, agreeing with that never to be forgotten Prince of Philosophers Great Ptolemy; unto whom as it is said, an Angel appeared, and opened unto him the parts of the earth, but some he was commanded to keep secret, which was those under the north Pole, as it is recorded, by that famous Mathematician Doctr. John D●… pag. 153. This Method is also practised in Arabia, Persia, and India, as I have been well informed by my very good Friend Mr. Cordwel Worral. whose Assistance we had in doing some part of this Piece, and he saith in those Countries they are far more exact, than any of our Nation are, nay we cannot, neither dare we presume to that exactness as they do, either in horary Questions or Nativities; for almost by inspection of a Nativity, they will give a true account of the general and particular Accidents, during the whole course of the Natives Life, both how, and when they shall happen, a thing something strange to our apprehensions, and now the reason why we cannot do the like, is because we do not use their true Method, but follow the false Doctrine of Regiomontanus and Argol, whose directions with all their Desciples, are insipid vain and foolish, also wholly without Reason, or Truth; yet we cannot neither will we deny, but that those Tables of theirs are of excellent use, therefore we count ourselves beholding to them, for their Laborious Studies in framing them, but for their Doctrine it is not so much Worth as the nameing it; much less to be Prectized, and Extalled as it hath been by ourselves and others, yet altho' we have been great followers of them, we will say with the wise King when we were Children, we acted as Children, but since we are Men we are come to know better; for now we have seen their Erroneous Examples; and the Truth of the Doctrine practised; therefore, we will follow their ways no more, but Cleave to those Rules which we Know to be most Certain and True &  
Now let no Man Doubt of what we here Declare, for it is as true as a South Sun makes twelve a Clock at noon, but enough of this here, for wise Men Esteem many words, and many lies both a like, and he that will instruct others in the Truth, must never deny the Truth himself, therefore he that talketh much and doth little, is like unto him that Sails with a Side Wind, and is borne with the Tide to the wrong Shore, & note this that from page 86 to page 117 we had that Doctrine from Placidus de titis Primum Mobile, but all the Rest of this Part is wholly mine, and the second Book is done by Mr Bishops own hand, and that very Learnedly, without any assistance.  
Thus I conclude the sirst Part, Resolving to Remain Gods faithful Servant, the King's Loyal Subject, and my Country's Friend,  
Yours Richard Kirby

To the honourable ROBERT BOIL, Esq Fellow of the Royal Society, Health and Prosperity.  
Honoured SIR,  
COnsidering those many and signal Favours that I have received from you (notwithstanding my unmeriting deserts) are too great to be buried in the Sea of Forgetfulness, without my humble and thankful acknowledgement of the same, so that I have here offered my Mite to be put into your Treasury, (which I do not to add the least Atom to your Worth, but to make these my Junior Labours appear with the better lustre) for the Present is so small that I am dubious of your acceptance, yet although the Lines are unpolisht, the Subject is Divine, because it is an Epitome of the Celestial Philosophy of Ptolemy King of Egypt, from whose Ashes I have endeavoured to make a Lixivium which may take off those Spots and Blurs which have defiled the beauteous Vrania's Face, by the Innovations of Regiomontanus and Argol, and most of onr modern Authors, and yet the thing itself is not new, but is the true genuine Method that was practised when the Principles of Artists were not corrupted, and when Princes themselves were well acquainted with the Language of the Stars; and because nothing of this nature was ever Printed in the English Tongue, I have at spare hours made this Essay, which I have presumed to put under your Honour's Protection, your Name being sufficient, but more especially your Verbal Commendation, to give it a better Reception and Esteem among all Persons of Honour and Eminence, than he that is,  
Honoured SIR, Your humblest Servant, JOHN BISHOP.   

TO THE READER  
COurteous and Impartial Reader, I here present you with the Second Part of this most useful and necessary Piece of Astrology, wherein I have used all means possible to gratify ●…hee; 'tis true the Subject is not common, I mean as to the Method of it, but I Presume it is the most-Exact of any as to Astrology, that ever was taught in England, or by any, that could ●ver speak the English Tongue; neither had this come forth at ●his time, but by the sole Assistance of that famous Mathemati●…an, and my loving Friend, Mr. Cordwell Worral, whose ●…are and partly his Pains gave Life to this Piece, which soon ●…eceived Motion, he having been acquainted with this kind of ●…earning among the Persians and other of the Eastern Sages, ●…here they are so Dextrous that they can tell a Person the parti●…lar Transactions of his whole Life, and for the time of Death, ●…ey seldom Err, but we here in England cannot pretend to it, ●…y we do not know after a person is dead the direction that ●…lld, by the common Method that is now practised, as hath ●…en proved by many Nativities where the Astrologers hath pro●…ised long Life, and the Natives sometimes have died in their ●…fancy, or at least 20 or sometimes 30 Years before the directi●… could operate, which they would have to Kill, which things ●…th produced a Scandal upon the Art, and Artists; nay I be●…eve if Heraclitus and Democritus, should view the Methods ●…at many of our Artists take, they would find exceeding great ●…use for their lamenting & laughing at them and their practice, because their Method is not demonstrable, which thing after had given myself to the Study of Astrology, for the space of 1●… Years I began to doubt of the Certainty of it by reason I ofte●… found it to fail, at last it was my good hap to meet with t●… Ingenious Thomas Moor Esq. who in discourse on that Subje●… made it apparent, that there was little truth in that way wh●… was commonly practised, and by his means I was brought to 〈◊〉 acquainted with the Learned Dr. Wright who was the first 〈◊〉 England that ever understood this Method, which he learned 〈◊〉 being conversant in the works of that Learned Monk Placid●… where in his Celestial Philosophy, he hath laid down, and tr●… explained Ptolomy's Writings, which till then laid very 〈◊〉 stuse, so that as I said by conversing with Dr. Wright I was c●…firmed in my judgement, and so came to know truth from f●…hood, by what I learned, likewise from the aforesaid Mr. Wo●… and being willing to oblige all the true sons of Uraina, I 〈◊〉 willing to publish it because Mr. Kirby was going to Print so●…thing of the first part, I lent my help to the finishing of it, 〈◊〉 that the World should not be abused to Buy one thing twic●… was the more willing to Publish this at this time, that so 〈◊〉 Bound up together you might have an Entire Work, and I h●… I have done things with that plainness that it may be well und●…stood by the meanest Cappacity, and also have given such Ex●…ples as may Explain the whole Matter, with the greatest 〈◊〉 imaginable; and truly I do not doubt but those of understa●…ing will approve of this Labour of mine, but Ignorant Zoi●… will Contemn it, for the old Proverb is, he that Builds on 〈◊〉 Highway, will hear many things from them that find fault, 〈◊〉 especially the Vulgar, but I wish those Thrasoes would put fo●… something more Excellent, before they find fault with, and C●… at the Labours of others, wherefore let none Rashly judge of t●… Work until he be throughly informed of the same, I know i●… contrary to what hath been taught, by Regiomontanus 〈◊〉 Angol, whose Doctrine is insipid, but for his laborious wor●… Framing those Excellent Tables the World is much engaged to him, and we are no less Engaged to our Famous Country Men namely Mr. Lily and the Famous and Learned Mr. Gadbury Mr. Coley, and Mr. Salmon, whose aspiring Fanceis have Raised up Monnuments, to their never dying Fames, and doubtless if this method had been common when they Wrote of Art they would have done it in a far more Lofty Style, but however I hope this may be a Foundation for the Ingenious to Build A Mighty Fabric upon, whose Top may Pierce the Spheres, and like jacob's Ladder to reach through the Starry Region; I could ●…ish that some more Noble Pen had been Employed, in doing so great a Piece of Service for the World, but none having attempt●…d it, I have presumed to make this Essay; and if it meet with 〈…〉 kind acceptance, I intent God willing to add something more grateful, which this Age never looked after, for we have been ●…ke the Dog in the Fable, never to look after the Substance ●…f things, but are content to take up with the mere shadows, ●…ay and not only so, but often Vilify them that make it their ●…siness to dissipate those Clouds of Ignorance, which are between 〈◊〉 and the Beauteous Urania, but let such dull Animals enjoy ●…heir Opinions, for to those I do not write, but only to the In●…nious who will make Reason their Judge, as for such let their James be Eternal, to dwell above Spite, Scorn or Reproach, but ●…r the Evil Heads, who Envieth the Knowledge, that cometh ●…om others, and wish all to be in dulness, like themselves whose leads are full of nothing but Chimeras their Hearts of Revenge ●…d Malice, and their Mouths of nothing but Railing, let them ●…ontinue in their Ignorance and Folly, for I Envy not their ●…inciples nor their Glory in their Art, and if any such there 〈◊〉 that will oppose any part hereof, I am Ready to answer them, ●…t in Railing but Modesty, that so I may reform him or those ●…m their Erroneous Way, and so Astrolgy shall beget a good ●…teem, as it had formerly, when and where the true Principles ●…re practised, for I doubt not but Ptolemy whose Method this was, had the Quintessence as to Art (for if we may Credit the Sayings of that Famous Mathematician Dr. John Dee,) he was taught it by an Angel, but however he came by it, his way in the most Demonstrable, whose sayings I have endeavoured to bring in to practice, now if any one through mistakes should Err, let him not blame me but his own Ignorance, and let him study by the Rules that are laid down, and then I doubt not but he will have better Success, which I Pray every one may have, this is industrious, such I shall be willing to oblige, whilst I am Urania's Servant, and my Country's Friend, to my Power,  
John Bishop. September the first 1686. From my House at the Golden Ball in Virginia Street, near East-smithfield, Lond.   

To his entirely beloved Brother, Mr. John Bishop, on his excellent Book, entitled, The Marrow of Astrology.  

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

Descend you Powers above to our Assistance.  

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

THE PRINTER TO THE READER.  

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

THE MARROW OF ASTROLOGY, PART, II.  

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

Secondly.  

Of setting a Figure.  Of setting a Figure, divers have been the Opinions of our Modern Authors about this Point, but that which we allow of, is according to Ptolemy, (whom our Modern Athors say, would have the Heavens to be divided into 12 equal parts in the Ecliptic; as if the Asendant be ♈ 15 dg. the second must be ♉ 15 dg. and the 3d. ♊ 15 dg. etc.) but those persons are extremely mistaken, for Ptolemy never taught that Doctrine, but only they misinterpret his saying, for Ptlomy's System is the most demonstrable of any in the World, as shall be taught in another Work, wherein the false imaginations of Copernieus and his followers, shall be as Clearly confuted, as Argol and Regiomontanus are in this; but here I say, that the following Table of Houses, are the only true extant, which I have Calculated for the Merridian of the famous City of London, and are far more exact, than those of Rogiomontanus, which he calls the Rational way, which we say is the most Irrational way, and without Reason; now the use of these Tables follows; suppose I would set a figure for the 25th of September, at 4h. 20m. p. m. (or afternoon,) in the Ephemeris against the day of the month, I find the ☉ s place to be in ♎ 12 dg. 30 m. at noon, with which I enter the Table of Houses with ☉ in ♎, and under the 10th. House with 12 dg. or 13, (take which you will,) because the minutes are 30, you may add a deg. then take 13 dg. under the 10th. House, and in the Column toward the left hand, Right against the said 13 dg. you will find 12 h. 48 m. to which I add my 4 h. 20 m. and it makes 17 h. 8 m. with which I enter the Tables again, and under the title time from Noon, I look for my 17 h. 8 m. which I find Exactly, and in a Direct line, I have the Cusps of all the six Oriental Houses thus, The 10th. House is ♐ 18dg. 00m. The 11th. Hnuse is ♑ 05dg. 30m. The 12th. House is ♑ 25dg. 36m. The Asendant is ♒ 29dg. 58m. The Second is ♈ 28dg. 14m. The Third is ♉ 28dg. 08m.  
The Opposite Houses have the Opposite Signs, Degrees, and Minutes, thus;  
Houses Opposite. 1. 7. Signs opposite. ♈. ♎. etc. 2. 8. ♉. ♏. 3. 9 ♊. ♐. 4. 10. ♋. ♑. 5. 11. ♌. ♒. 6. 12. ♍. ♓.  
So that you see the first House is in Opposition to the 7th. the 2d. to the 8th. the 3d. to the 9th. etc. And also, that ♈ is in Opposition to ♎, ♉ to ♏ and ♊ to ♐ etc.  
And because this Table of Houses is only Calculated for the Lattiude of London, and serves for no place but under that Lat. I have here inserted a Table showing the poles of the 11th. 12th. 2d, and 3d. Houses in all places, from 30 dg. to 60 dg. North or South Lat. presupposing them to be sufficient for all the Nativities, that can come into the hands of any of our Artists, which are as followeth.  

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

The Use of this Table.  
In the first Column is the lat. of the place from 30 dg. to 60 dg. of lat. and right against it you have the poles of 
Example.  the 11th. 3d. 12th. and 2d. Houses.  
Example, if I would know the poles elevation of the 11th. 3d. 12th. and 2d. Houses for the lat. of 53dg. I enter with 53. under the Title of the Asc. and right against it I find under the 11th. and 3d. 24dg. 40m. which is the poles elevation, and under the 12th and 2d.

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

Example.  

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

Next concerning the 12 Houses and their Significators.  

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

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

An Explanation of the Tables, of Semidiurnal and Seminocturnal Arches.  
THe use of the preceding Tables are so easy, that they need but little explanation, yet nevertheless, I think it convenient to say something of them, to show their use, and likewise how they are made; so that if you should have occasion for any other Latitudes, than what is here inserted, you may make them yourself, which is thus, if the Star or Planet have North or South Latititude you are to observe the Declination, which if it be under 10 dg. you may take it by Argols Primum Mobile, or Mr. Gadbury's Doctrine of Nativities, but if it be 10 dg. or upward of lat. you are to work by Trigonomitry, according to the Method of the Ingenious Mr. Coley, in his Clavis Astrologiae; and having found the Declination under the Pole of the Place, you must observe that if the Declination fall in any of the 6 Northern Signs, add the difference of Ascension to 90 dg. and you have the semid. Arch, in deg. and min. but if you sub. the difference of the Ascension from 9 dg. you will have the seminoct● Arch; but if the Declination should fall in any of the southern Signs, sub. the difference of Ascension from 90 dg. and you will have the semid. Arch. but if you add the difference of Ascension to 890 dg. you will have the seminoct. Arch; which when you have obtained, if you divide it by six, you will have the hourly Times, or the length of the true Planetary Hours, and if you divide the se●●d. or seminoct. Arch by three you will have the true distance of one House; and so by that Method obtain the true division of all the Houses according to Ptolemy; 2 of which Parts makes a ⚹, as may be seen by the Table of Mundane Aspects; where is laid down all the Aspects, that are made in the World; The finding of the semid. or seminoct. Arch, is thus, under the lat. of the place, you have the semid. Arches of all the Northern Signs, as ♈, ♉, ♊, on the top of the Table, and for ♋, ♌, ♍, in the Table; now having obtained the semid, Arch, the seminoct Arch is obtained thus, by sub the semid. Arch from 12 hours, and the remainder is the seminoct. Arch, you have likewise the seminoct. Arches for all the Southern Signs, that is ♎, ♏, ♐, on the top of the Table, and ♑, ♒, ♓, on the bottom of the Table, and so when you have obtained the seminoct. Arch, take the compliment thereof to 12 hours; and you will have the semid. Arch, which is so easy; that it need no further Example, the semid. or seminoct. Arches, may be easily converted either into hours and minutes, or degrees and minutes, by the Table for that purpose, which I need say no more of in this Place.  
Next followeth some particular Genitures, that were taken by Argol and others, showing what Errors they built their Judgement upon, and I will leave it to the Consideration of any Artist, that hath so much Sense as to know his right hand from the left, (who is nearest the Truth) etc.   

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

IN this Nativity, I will be something large; by which other directions may be found, in the same manner; First he was made Emperor at 19 years of Age; at which time the ☽ cometh to the 12th House, and ♀ to the second House, in which places; the one beholds the M. C. with a ⚹, and the other by a △, and the ☽ in ⚹ to ♀ in the Zodiaek; and to a Q. of ♀ in the world; but that which was most material, was the ☉ to the parallel declination of ♃, in about 25dg. of ♈; the ☉ s Arch of twilight is 29dg. 30m. which is 1h. 58m. by converting it, his seminoc. arch is 6h. 32m. from which sub. his arch of twilight, and there rests 4h. 34m. which is the ☉ s arch of obscurity (because the ☉ is under the earth, and out of his parallel of twilight) now the arch of twilight for 2●d. of ♈, is 2d. 18m. the seminoc. arch of 25d. of ♈ is 5h. 9m. the Arch obscurity of 25dg. of ♈, is ●h. 5 m. the distance of the ☉ from the 4th. House is 54d. 6m. than I say, if the ☉ s Arch of obscurity 4h. 34m. give his distance from the 4th. House 54dg. 16m. what distance shall 2h. 5 m. (the Arch of obscurity of 25dg. of ♈) give, and it makes the secondary distance 34d. 22m. from which being substracted the primary distance of 25d. of ♈, which is ●6d, 51m. which is taken by substracting the R. A. of 25d. of ♈ from the R. A. of the 4th. House, and there remains the arch of direction 17dg. 31m. which being equated is 19 years.  
At 41 years of Age he met with great Losses at Sea, at which time the ☽ was directed to a mundane parallel of ♂; thus, the semidiurnal arch of ☽ is 52dg. 33m. and the semid. arch of the ☍ place of ♂, is 62dg. 27m. those two being added together, makes 115, which I put in the, 1st. place, and in the 2d. place I put 52dg. 33m. in the third place I put the distance of the ☍ of ♂, and the ☽, which is 4●dg. 25m. in R. A. (for the ☍ place ♂ is in R. A. 232dg. 3m. and the R A of the ☽ is 27●dg. 28m.) and the th'. number is the ☽ s secondary distance from the M C. ●0dg, 45m. which sub. from her primary distance 57dg. 28m. leaves the arch of direction 3●dg. 43m. which being equated, points out 41 years; he died at 58 years, and almost 7 months, on the 21 of September, at which time the ☽ being giver of Life, comes to the ☍ of ♄, by converse direction; ♄ s distance from the th'. House is 5dg. 4 m. his R A is 45dg. 43m. the Pole of the 1 th'. and 5th. Houses, is 2●dg. the seminoc. arch of ♄ is 6 dg. 37m. the 3d. part thereof is 23dg. 13m. ♄ s Pole is near 6dg. where in the ☍ place of ♄ in ob. asc. is 227dg. 21m. the ob. asc. of the ☽ under that Pole, is 280 dg, 19m. from which the ☍ place of ♄ being substracted, leaves the arch of direction 52dg. 58m. which being added to the R A of the ☉, 345dg. 44m. makes 398dg. 42m. from which sub. the circle, and there rests 38dg. 42m. to which agrees ♉ 11d. 10m. to which place the ☉ from the day of the birth comes to in 58 days and 13 hours, which points out the true time of the direction, there was near opperating at that time, the ☽ to her own proper □, both in the Zodiac and in the world, which are thus wrought: And first to her □ in the world, the seminoc. arch of the ☽ is 127dg. 27m. and distant from the asc. 4dg. ●2m. in the semidi. arch is 52dg, 33m. and from these comes the 4th. number, which is the secondary distance from the M C, which being sub. from the primary distance, there rests 55dg. 33m. for the arch of direction, the ☽ to her own □ in the Zodiac is thus, the ☽ s ob. asc. in the lat. of 52 dg. is 314dg. 52m. and in 6dg. of ♈, the ☽ will have 4dg. 32 South lat. in which place her ob. asc. is 9dg. 52m. to which the circle being added, and ob. asc. of the ☽ substracted, there rests 55dg. for the Arch of Direction.   

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

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

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

Latitudes.  ♄ 1: 55 South ♃ 1: 26 North ♂ 0: 8 South. ♀ 2: 12. North. ☿  ☽ 5: 0 South. 
Declinations  ♄ 9: 13 ♃ 0: 40. ♂ 22: 42. ☉ 23: 30. ♀ 17: 12: ☿  ☽ 5: 16.  
Note that the ☋ is in the 22d. 37m. of ♑.   
IN this Nativity the ☽ is giver of Life, by being placed upon the Cusp of the 7th. house, which power she cannot be denied, except she had been elongated 3dg. I shall only observe two principal directions, the first was at 41 Years of Age he received a Wound on the Face, about the lower Jaw, at which time the ☽ was directed to a □ of ♄ in the World; thus, the seminoct. Arch of the ☽ is 5h. 37m. her distance from the 7th. House 4dg. 15m. ♄ s seminoct. Arch is 6h. 41m. so I say, if 5h. 37m. gives 4dg. 15m, what shall 6h, 41m. give, Facit, 5dg. 3m. which 5dg. 3m. I add to the Primary distance of ♄ from the 4th. House, which is 37dg. 34m and the sum is 42dg. 37m. for the Arch of direction, which being Equated makes something above 40 Years, a little before the ☽ was in a Mundane Parallel of ♂, by the Motion of the Primum Mobile, being come to be in equal distance from the 4th. house, thus, the seminoct. Arch of the ☽ is 5h. 37m. which I add to the seminoct. Arch of ♂, which is 7h. 50m. the ☉ is 13h. 27m. than I say, if 13h. 27m. giveth 5h. 37m. what shall 98d. 28m. give, which is the difference between the R. A. of ♂, & the R. A. of ☽, I find it makes 41dg. 7m. which is ☽ s Secondary dist. from the 4th. house, which I Sub. from her Primary distance 79dg. 53m. and it leaves 38dg. 46m. for the Arch of direction. Note, that all these directions, are best wrought by the Logistical Logar, Note that if your Number exceed 60. Take half, or if it be above 120, take a 4th part, if you make use of a 4th. multiply what comes out by 4, or if you take half, double what comes out. Example, In the last foregoing Operation, where I say if 13h. 27m. giveth 5h. 37m. what shall 98dg. 28m. give, Logistical 
Example.  Log. of 13h. 27m. comp. Arithmetic is 3506 The Logistical Log. of 5h. 37m. 10287 The Log. Logar of half 98dg. 28m. which is 49dg. 14m. 859 It makes 4652 which is the log. logar. of 20dg. 33m. which being doubled is 41dg. 6m. all directions may be worked thus with great ease and exactness, Next, this King died at 56 Years of Age. and a half, which was May the 14th. 1610. at which time the ☽ who is giver of Life, was directed to the □ of ♄ in the Zodiac; thus, the opposite place of the ☽ s obl. asc. under the pole of Birth is 211dg. 25m. which being Sub. from the o●l. asc. of the Ascend. leaves 4dg. 15m. for her dist. from the west angle; now to find the ☽ s pole of position I do thus, because she is between the 6th. and 7th. houses, I take her seminoct. Arch which is 5h. 37m. which being converted into dg. and m. is 84dg. 15m. this being divided by 3, leaves 28dg. 5m. for the space of one house; now if the pole of the 7th. is 48dg. the pole of the 6th. is 37dg. the difference is 11dg. than I say if 28dg. 5m. give 11dg. what shall 4dg. 15m. give, this work by log. logar, gives 1dg. 40m. which because it exceeds 30m. I take 2dg. which I sub. from the pole of the 7th. house 48dg. and there rests 46dg. for the ☽ s pole of position, under which pole, the obl. asc. of the opposite place of the ☽, is 210dg. 59m. the obl. asc. of the opposite place of ♄ s Zodiacal □ in 11dg. 1m. of ♐, with 3dg. 21m. of North Lat. which the ☽ will have when she comes to that place, is 270dg. 3 m. from whence sub. 210dg. 59m. the obl. asc. of ☽ s opposite place, and there rests 59dg 38m. for the Arch of direction, which being equated, points out 56 Years and a half, by converse Motion, or more properly by the Motion of the Primum Mobile, the ☽ and ♄ came to be of equal distance from the 4th house, which we call a Mundane Parallel; the work is thus, the seminoct Arch of the ☽ is 5h, 37m, her R. A. is 5dg. 33m. her distance from the 4th. house is 79dg. 53m. ♄ s seminoct. Arch is 6h. 41m. his R. A. is 343dg. 14m. the difference between the R. A. of ♄ and the R. A. of the ☽ with the Circle is 4 dg. 19m. than I add the seminoct. Arches of ♄ and the ☽ together, and they make 12h. 18m. than I say, if 12h. 18m, give 5h, 37m, what shall 4●dg, 19m, give (which is the difference of R. A.) it makes 19dg. 19m. which I sub. from the ☽ s Primary distance 79dg. 53m. and there remains 60dg. 34m. for the Arch of of direction, the Reason: why he did not die upon the Mundane □ of ♄ and Parallel of ♂, was because by direct directions they fell near the Rays of ♃, and in his Terms, also in Parallel Declination of ♀.

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

Example.  the log. logar of 34dg. 45m. co: Ar. is 7628 the log. logar. of 16dg. the pole of the 9th house is 5740 the log. logar. of 11dg. 26m. the difference of R. A. is 7200 which added, gives the log. logar. of 5dg. 16m. 10568 which is the ☽ s pole of position; Now because it is but 5dg. 16m. I only take 5de. but if the m. had exceeded 30, I would have taken 6dg. now because the ☽ is in the descending part of Heaven, I take her opposite place under the pole of 5dg. likewise with her contrary Lat. where I find her obl. Asc. to be 328dg. 56m. obl. asc. of 21dg. of ♓, with 4de 21m. South lat. is 354de. 9m. from which the obl. asc. of the ☽ being sub. leaves 25dg. 13m. for the Arch of direction, which being equated points out the true time of his Death; when ♃ came to the 10th. house he was made King, but now some will object (you say) the ☽ was giver of Life, and ♄ was Annareta, pray why did not the ☽ to the ☍ of ♄ kill, to that I answer for Divers Reasons, first when the ☽ came to the ☍ of ♄, she had great North lat. above 4dg. and ♄ had almost dg. South lat. so that when she came to the opposition, she was so far out of the rays of ♄, by her lat. that there was not power to kill, nay scarcely to do any hurt; secondly it fell in the terms of ♀, thirdly it was succeeded by her Mundane △; more of this direction I have spoken, in the 9th. section foregoing; where this is exactly explained, that the like may be performed upon any Nativity etc. Now in taking the secondary direction for the 24th. Year, I take 24days from the Birth and for 6 Months I take 12h. and for 11days I take 40m.

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

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

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

Example.  Log: logar of 22d: 12m co: Arith: is 5682 Log: logar of 15d: is 6021 Log: logar of 7d: 7m: is 9259 It makes the Log: logar of 4ds: 8m: 10962.  
So because I find it near 5d. I add 5d. to the Pole of the 11th. House, and that gives the Pole of the ☉, to be 24d. his ob. asc. under that Pole is 256d. 44m. the ob. asc. of 16 of ♒, under that Pole is 325. 51. from whence I sub. the ob. asc. of ☉, and there remains 69d. 7m. for the Arch of Direction, which added to the R. A. of ☉ 246. 30. makes 315. 37. which in the Ecliptic answers to 13d. 8m. of ♒; to which place the ☉ cometh in 63 days; and this is the true way to equate for the Arch of Direction, in all your Operations; likewise the ☉ at the same time was directed to his own proper □ in the World; now according to Argol, it should have been above 5 years' sooner; so you may see Argol's Rule will not hold good, in so much as taking the Antistions, and Note, that these Antistions are the true Parallels of Declination, and when the giver of Life is directed thereto; especially if it be to the Annaretta, it is always Fatal to the Native, and as bad as any Direction whatsoever; but with the good it signifies good.

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

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

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

HE was made Cardinal at 17 Years, and 3 Months; he died at 52 Years, and 2 Months, of a Cattarh, and a great flux of humours, and Argol because he could see nothing of ☉ to kill, directs the Ascen. to the Antistion of ♄, when as the ☉ is wholly giver of Life, neither could the Antistion of ♄ in ♑ give a flux of humours; now according to our Method, the ☉ is directed to the □ of ♄ in the Zodiac; thus, the ob. asc. of ☉ in the lat. of 44d. is 289d. 32m. the ob. asc. of the □ of ♄ in the beginning of ♓, is 344d. 50m. from which sub. the. ob asc. of ☉, and there rests 55d. 18m. for the Arch of direction, which is but the supposed Arch of Direction, because ☉ is in the Parallel of Twilight, therefore are those necessary Tables of Twilight Framed, which are inserted to the latter Part of this Piece, (for the Convenience of the Artist) by which may be performed, this, or any other Operation with the greatest exactness; this Example may serve for all, yet I have showed the way in two other Nativities in this Book; the Manner of working is thus, first I sub. the oblique asc. of the Ascendant, from the ob. asc. of ☉, and there remains 20d. 57 for ☉ s primary distance, which I seek in the Tables of Twilight, and by the nearest Proportion I find 13d. of depression in the Parallel of Twilight, and against it in a direct Line I find 20d. 14m. and under that Parallel in a direct Line, I look for ♓ 2d. the place of the □ of ♄, which I seek in a direct Line from 13d. of depression, in the Parallel of Twilight, which I find to be 18d. 20m. which I sub. from the first distance found in the Table, viz. 20d. 14m. and there remains 1d. 54m. for the east distance, now because the secondary distance is less than the primary, I add this 1d. 54m. the east distance to the Arch of direction before found, and it is 57d. 12m. for the true arch of direction, which was succeeded by a □ of the ☽, and she in ☍ of ♄ in the Nativity, which could show no less than a flux of humours to kill, but if ☿ be found with the giver Life, by body or aspect, if he take upon him the Nature of a Malesick, he much helpeth forward a flux of humours, especially if it be the Nature of ♄; and this according to the doctrine of Ptolemy, he was made Cardinal upon ☉ s direction to the △ of ♃, in the World, and the M. C. to the △ of ♀, the M. C. is thus directed, the Pole of 3d. House is 33d. whose ob. asc. is 98d. 35m. the ob. asc. of ♀ under that Pole, is 318d. 3m. from whence ay sub. the ob. asc. of the ●d. house 298d. 35. and there rests 19 18m. for the arch of direction.  
Now ☉ is directed to the △ of ♃ thus, the seminoct. arch of ☉ is 7h. 39m. his primary distance from the ascen. is 20d. 57m. the seminoct. arch of ♃ is 4h. 44m. Now because the △ is made from the 5th. House, I direct the 5th. House to the ☌ of ♃, (which observe;) the Pole of the 5th. House is 18d. the ob: desc: is ●8d: 35m: the ob: desc: of ♃ under that Pole, is 62d: 38m: from whence I sub: the ob: desc: of the 5th: House, 28d: 35m: and there rests 34d: 3m: for ♃ s primary distance; then I say, if the seminoct; arch ☉ of 7h: 39m: give his prim. distance, 20d: 57m: what shall 4h: 44m: ♃ s seminoct: arch give: I find it to be 12d: 58m: which is ♃ s secondary distance; now because both distances are taken from the preceding house, I sub ♃ s secondary distance from his primary distance 34d: 3m: and there rests 21d: 5m: for the arch of Direction:  
Now if I would have the dg: of the Ecliptic that ☉ cometh to by that arch, I proceed thus; first I find the ☉ s Pole after this manner I find the 3d. part of his seminoct. arch, or the space of one house to be 58d: 15m: the difference between the Pole of the ascen: and 2d: house, to be 11d: then I say if the space of one house 38d: 1●m: give 11d: the difference between the asc: and the second house, what shall 20d. 57m: ☉ s primary distance give, I find it gives about 6d: which 6d: ay sub from the Pole of Birth, 44d: and there remains 38d: for ☉ s Pole of position; now under that Pole I find ☉ s ob: asc: to be 284d: 35m: to which I add the arch of direction 21d: 5m: and the Sum is 305d: 40m: which I seek in the pole of 38d: to which I find ♑ 15d: 20m: to corospond now in the Tables of Twilight under the pole of 44d: I seek for ☉ s prim. dist. 20d: 57m: and I find ☉ to be in the parallel of 13d: 28m: under which I take 15d: of ♑, and there I find the ☉ s secondary distance, to be 20d. 46m: using the part proportional; then by the Rule of Proportion I say, if the seminoct: arch of ☉ 7h: 39m: give, his secondary distance 20d: ●…m: what shall ♃ s seminoct: arch, 4●: 44m: give, I find it gives 1●d: 51m: for ♃ s secondary distance, which sub. from his primary, 34d. 3m: leaves 21d: 12m: for the true arch of direction, which being equated, points out the true time when he was made Cardinal, I have been the larger upon this, to show the true use of the Tables of Twilight.

THis Nativity was rectified by Argol, who saith about 7 Years of Age this Native was sick almost to Death, and for that he directs the Ascend. to the □ of ♄ which could not possible signify any sickness, because the Ascend. is not giver of Life, for all sicknesses of what nature soever are signified by the giver of Life, by being directed to the bad Aspects of the Infortune's, now the direction that signified this sickness, was the ☉ who was giver of Life, by being directed to the body of the ☽, by, converse Motion, thus, the ☽ s pole is about 16dg. her obl. asc. under pole is 352dg. 48m. which sub. from the obl. asc. of the ☉ with the Circle leaves 7dg. 19m. for the Arch of direction: for the ☽ is in □ of ♄ at Birth, and Evily placed, and the ☉ was likewise directed to the ssq. of ♄ in the World; he was made Cardinal at ●6 Years of Age, at which time the ☉ is directed to the Q. of ♃ in the Zodiac the pole of the ☉ is 20dg. his obl. asc. under that pole is edge. 8m the. Q. of ♃ falls in 19dg. 41 of ♈ whose ob. asc, is 15dg, 20m, from whence sub, the obls, asc, of the ☉ and there remains 15dg, 12m, which being Equated falls at 16 Years,  
He died at 31 Years of Age, at which time Argol directs the ☽ to the body of ♂, but that cannot be for the ☽ is not giver of Life, (but any thing that stands in the way whither reason or no reason all's one) but as I said before the ☉ is giver of Life, and he is directed to the body of ♂ at the time of Death, thus, the Pole of the ☉ is 20dg the obls, asc, of ♂ under that pole is 27dg, 38m. from which I sub, the obls, asc, of the ☉ odg, 8m, and there remains 27d, 30m, for the arch of direction which aded to the R, A, of the ☉ maketh 27d, 39m, which in the Ecliptic answers to ♈ 29d, 45m, to which place the ☉ cometh, at 31 day's fere and because ♂ hath some small North Lat, the ☌ was succeeded with the Parallel declination of ♂ also, which was so Fatal a direction, that nothing but a Miracle could Preserve; by this you see that it is the giver of Life, only that is to be directed for sickness, and death, and none else as is well Explained elsewhere.

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

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

Example.  The Equation is made thus. The log. logar. of 9h. 46m. co: Ar. is 2116. The log. logar. half the 2d. num. viz: 45d. 45: 1178. The log: logar: of 5h: 7m: is 10692. It gives the log: logar: of 23d: 58m. 3986.  
Which because the second number was taken, but half I double, and it makes 47d. 56m. for ☉ s secondary dist: to which I add the primary dist. 0d: 8m: and it makes 48d 2m. for the arch of direction, which added to 215d: 58m: ☉ s R. A. makes 264d. 0m: to which in the Ecliptic answers ♐ 24d. 30m. to which place ☉ cometh at 45 days & a half; this Nativity I had Verbatim from the Works of that learned Monk Placidus, where whosoever reads shall find abundance of satisfaction.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cautions worthy of Observation.  
1st. NArrowly observe all the Aspects, as well those in the World, as those in the Zodiac, for many times a Zodiacal Aspect may promise good in the Business, when there may be a Mundane Aspect will frustrate the good promised by the other, and that is the Reason, our Artists so many times fail in their Judgement; also Parallels in this case, are to be carefully heeded, whether they be Parallels of Declination, or in the World, for by those Parallels, many times the Planets assume other Natures, for ♀ or ♃, by being in Parallel of ♄ or ♂, may take their Nature so much, that they are wholly Infortune's; these things being observed, I doubt not, but Astrology, will obtain as much Credit, as now it doth reproach, which is not occasioned by the Art, but by the Artist; for it had the Venerable Esteem of many Famous Persons, (even in the first Age of the World) if we may believe that Famous Antiquary, Josephus, and I doubt not but most of the Patriarcks were well acquainted with this kind of Learning, but we in this Age are so stupid, to think, that it is a thing by chance or lot, and not to be much relied upon, for say they, the ginger looks no farther than the Stars, and by their motions and aspects, he maketh a Judgement according to his own fancy, and he tells us a story of ♄ and ♂ being Infortune's, and of ♃ and ♀ being Fortunes, when the Stars are at that vast distance, that it is almost impossible we should feel any of their Influence.  
To which I answer, when the Almighty had finished the Creation, he made Laws and Bounds to every part thereof, and the ☉ ☽ and Stars he made for Signs, for Seasons, for Days, and for Years. Gen. 1. 14. and then it follows, they were also to give light upon the Earth: Now by reason they were for Signs, consequently they must Signify something, and God in the 5 of Esa. 14. hath this sharp Sentence, Therefore my People are gone into Captivity, because they have no knowledge. and Solomon saith, the wise Man falleth forward, but the fool falleth backward, that is the wise Man (according to Ptolomy's saying in his Cent. Apho. 5) fall, but he foresees it, and is prepared before it comes, but the Fool never regards it till it is upon him, and so is taken like a Bird in an evil Net; now I would not be misunderstood in this place to tie a fatal necessity upon the Stars, knowing that he that made them, can countermand their Power, neither do I think, that the Stars in themselves have any Power to Act or do any thing, no more than the Body without the Soul; for it is not from the Stars, that we have Coldness, Dryness, Pestilence, Famine, or Plenty, or any other thing either good or bad, and yet they are the Signs of all these Things, and in this I must forsake the Opinion of Placidus, whose Words are used in the first part of this Book, who saith, The Stars cannot be Signs of Effect, unless they be Causes also: but than you will say, how can that be, or from whence do the Causes proceed? (I answer) from those Governing Angels which are as Watchmen, appointed to Execute the Will of the Almighty, and that there are Seven of those Angels, (according to the Number of the Planets or Erratic Stars) is plain from Scripture, for in the 8 of the Rev. and the 2v. St. John saith, And I saw the Seven Angels, which stood before the Presence of God, and to them was given Seven Trumpets; and when they came to Sound in their Order, some smote the Seas, another the Trees, and the other darkened the Sun, and every one as they Sounded, produced heavy Judgements among the Inhabitants of the Earth, and St. Paul in the 1 of Heb. and the 14 saith, Are they not all mimistring Spirits, sent forth to Minister for them who shall be Heirs of Salvation; and if for ministering Spirits to the Godly, undoubtedly, they are likewise Scourges for the Wicked; for when Balaam went about that unjust Exercise, the Angel stopped him by the way; and when the rude Sodomites went groping about the Street, they knew not the Reason, but might well suppose it some giddyness of Brain, when it was the Angel that smote them with Blindness; likewise when the Egyptians first Born were all struck dead in one Night, the Astrologers would Judge some strange Configuration of the Planets, but it was done by an Angel: Had we seen those thousands of the Israelites fall so suddenly of the Plague, we should have been apt to attribute it to some sudden infection of the Air, but Holy David saw it was an Angel with His Sword drawn; thus humane Reason is apt to ascribe Events to wrong Causes, attributing those things to an ordinary course of Nature, which the God of Nature doth by Supernatural Agents; and that every Country, City, nay, and every particular Person, hath his or their, governing Angel is very plain, for who can think any other, but that the Great God looseth much Glory by our Ignorance; for how can we give him the Honour due to his Name, while we conceive too narrowly of Him, and his Works: To know him as he is, is past the Capacity of our finite Understanding, we must have other Eyes to discern that incomprehensible Goodness; but to see him in his Divine and Miraculous Works, is that whereof we should be inquisitive; neither is there any thing in the World, that can so much import us; for if we could conceive aright of this sensible and material World, it is enough to amaze the most enlightened Reason of Humanity.  
For if this Globe of Earth, in regard of the immense Greatness, be accounted a World? what shall we say of so many thousand Stars, which are for the most part so much bigger than the Earth? how than I say can we but admire so many thousand Worlds of rolling Light, continually over our heads, made by the Omnipotent Power, and all regularly guided by the Infinite Providence of the great God, how slenderly must that Man think of the workmanship of the Almighty, that looks upon all these but as so many Torches set up in the Firmament, only so big as they seem; and contrarily with what awful respects must he needs be carried to his Creator, that knows the vastness and perpetual motions of those Glorious Bodies, ruled and upheld by the mighty Word that made them.  
Brute Creatures may behold these vissible things perhaps with sharper Eyes than us, but Spiritual Objects are so far out of their reach, as if they had no being; nearest therefore to Beasts, are those men, who suffer themselves to be led wholly by their Senses, as to believe nothing but what is suggested by the purblind and unfaithful Informer; let such men doubt whither they have a Soul in their Body or no, because their Eyes never saw it, or that there are any Stars in the Firmament at noon day, because they appear not, or that there is any Air wherein they breath, because nothing appears to them, but an Insensible Vacuity; surely all that know they have Souls must of necessity believe the rule and government of Angels, which they see not: If from no other grounds, yet out of that Anology, which they cannot but find between this lesser and the greater World, for as this little World Man, consists of an outward vissible Body, and an inward Spiritual Soul, which gives Life and Motion to that organical Frame, so possessing all parts, that it is wholly in all, and in each part wholly; so must it be also in the great Universe, the sensible and material part whereof hath being and moving from those Spiritual Powers, both Supreme and Subordinate, which dwell in it, and also fill and actuate it, therefore every rational Man looks about with no other Eyes than St. Paul's in 2. Cor. 4. 18. We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are Eternal.  
There is multiplicity enough of wonders in the visible World, but the spiritual and intelligable World, is that which is more worthy to take up our Hearts, both as we are Men endued with Reason, and also that the Infinite Goodness hath been pleased to enlighten our Eyes, to Contemplate on things above: So I shall conclude this Discourse with the words of St. Paul Rom. 1. 20. For the Invisible things of him from the Creation of the World, are clearly seen, being understood, by the things that are made, even his Eternal Power and Godhead.  
Thus Courteous Reader I have done what I thought fit at this time, and I hope have given that Light, which may serve to conduct any one through the darkest passage in the whole Doctrine of Astrology; and I wish you as much Felicity in reading, as I have had in pening of it: I have had but little assistance in the composing of it, only I must acknowledge, I am engaged to the Ingenious Mr. Coley, for helping me to Placidus' Primum Mobile, from whence I took the Doctrine of Directions, that are inserted in the first Part, from page 86. to page 117. by the assistance of my Ingenious Friend Mr. Cordwell worral, but for the second part, I have done without any assistance, only the method of the Tables of Twilight, but I have quite altered them, and for the Tables of Aspects, and Semid. and Seminoct. Arches, with the Tables of Houses I have calculated de novo: and for my Discourse all along, if I have given offence to any person I am heartily sorry, assuring you I meant no harm, hoping you will make your favourable constructions from my good intentions, for what I have done, have been really for a faithful Information: Now to the only Wise Creator of Heaven and Earth, be all Praise (whom I most humbly Implore, for a Blessing upon his most Sacred Majesty, and all the Royal Family, and my Country's Good in general) which I shall ever desire whilst I am,  
John Bishop.

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

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