TO THE Reader desirous of Knowledge.  
Courteous Reader,  
THe Soul of Man being a Spark of Immortality, and the infused Breath of its Almighty Maker, does even, while 'tis clogged with Flesh and Blood, retain so great a relish of its first Original, that it is extremely covetous of Knowledge, above all other things; not confining its Speculations to this Terrestrial Globe, but towering up to Heaven, from whence it first came down, it searches out the Stars, and all their various Influences, and rifles all the heavenly Constellations, unlocking the secret Cabinets of Futurity, and diving into the vast Abiss of Things Unknown: For,  

All Animals that be, do groveling lie,  
Or in the Earth, the Water, or the Sky;  
But Man consists of Soul and Body linked,  
Of Counsels capable, of Voice distinct:  
He into Natural Causes doth inspect;  
He knows how to advise, what to direct:  
Into the World he Arts and Science brings,  
And searcheth out the hidden birth of things:  
The Unplowed Earth he to his Will subdues;  
And all it brings forth, he knows how to use:  
The untamed Beasts he doth at pleasure bind,  
And in the Seas untrodden Paths does find:  
He only stands with an erected Breast,  
As the sole Victor over all the rest:  
He seeks out Jove, his thoughts will not be tied;  
In vain from him the Sta●s themselves do hid;  
And not content alone to view their Faces,  
Ransacks their Houses, their most secret Places;  
This is the Scope of Man's all-prying Mind;  
Himself he hopes amongst the Stars to find.   
To satisfy in some measure this inquisitive Nature of the Soul of Man, is the Design of this Book of the Knowledge of Things Unknown, which I have therefore called, Complete, because I am satisfied it will both Answer its Title, and the Reader's Expection, and gratify his Understanding with the Knowledge of the most abstruse and hidden Secrets of Art and Nature; which the Wisdom of the Ancients have hitherto concealed, but now are made plain to the meanest Capacities. And because the Reader should not be imposed upon by some Books in the World, that under a Pretence of Knowledge, (which Title they bear in their front) do sufficiently betray their own Ignorance; I have been encouraged to make this public.

THE Complete BOOK OF The Knowledge of Things Unknown; Treating of The Wisdom of the Ancients.  
ONE part of the Wisdom of the Ancients consisted in their Observations of several Days and Times, and from thence foretelling such good or bad Events, as from ●ong Experience they found always to follow: Thus ancient Astrologers, and among ●hem, Albumazer especially made an exact Judgement of what should befall to Men, Women and Children, by the Day of the Week on which the first Day of the Year happened to fall: As, If it happened to fall on a  
Sunday,] The Winter following shall be pleasant, the Summer seasonable; there shall be plenty of Corn, tho' the Wether in Harvest will prove but indifferent; Fruit shall very much abound; and there will be a very good Seedtime follow the Harvest: Flocks of Sheep, and great Cattle shall increase and prosper; but there shall be Robberies in most Places, and perhaps War before the end of the Year: Also it denotes the Death of Prelates and Princes, and Dissension and Discord amongst Men, but no● of long continuance.  
Monday.] If New-year's Day fall on a Monday, expect a hard and cold Winter and a wet Summer; and as a Consequent of that, many Diseases; the Fruits of the Earth very indifferent, which will produce great Scarcity in some Places. It also denotes the Downfall of the Gentry, and many Marriages among the common People.  
Tuesday.] If on Tuesday, the Winter will be wet, and the Summer very dry Hay will be scarce, but Corn indifferent plenty. Many Factions and Divisions amongst those that sit at the Helm; and ● great Mortality both of Men and Beasts.  
Wednesday.] If on Wednesday, it the notes the first part of the Winter very har● and severe, but the last part very mild and gentle: a seasonable Spring, and plenty of Fruit; but great Sickness, and many Distempers about Autumn: Many Fables and false News shall be spread abroad, and much Discontent amongst the common People.  
Thursday.] If on a Thursday, you may look for a hard Winter, but a seasonable and moderate Spring; and a great increase of the Fruits of the Earth: Sheep and great Cattle shall also prosper much. But towards Autumn, expect to hear News of War and Bloodshed Abroad, and Troubles at Home, occasioned by Contests and Divisions among the Clergy.  
Friday.] If on a Friday, look for an extreme hard Winter, a late Spring, and a dry Summer; Corn very dear, and Fruit very scarce: Very high Winds, occasioning Shipwrecks:  shall die generally; Women shall have very hard Labours; and most others very lose and licentious. Thunder and Lightning shall be very frequent, and do much Mischief.  
Saturday.] If on a Saturday, the Winter shall be moderate, the Spring very windy, but the Summer shall be both seasonable and Fruitful: Corn shall be cheap, and Fruits plentiful. The Nobility shall flourish, and the Commons be industrious: but ancient People shall generally die; and Malignant Fevers and Tertian Agues shall be very rife.  

II. A Prognostication from the Day of the Week on which Christmas- day shall fall; according to Afla and Arcaphan.  
Sunday.] IF the Nativity of our Lord shall fall on a Sunday, then shall the Winter be moderate, the Spring seasonable, the Fruits of the Earth flourish; and Peace shall grow up and increase on the Earth. He that is born on that Day shall be fortunate, and shall thrive by all that he takes in hand; but let him beware of letting Blood on that Day.  
Monday.] If it fall on a Monday, Winter shall be dry, and Summer shall be moist, the Air shall be rainy and tempestuous, and the Fruits of the Earth shall suffer thereby. He that is born on that Day shall be of a strong Constitution; and whoever attempts an unlawful Thing on that Day, shall be found out, and brought to Punishment.  
Tuesday.] If Christmas-day fall on a Tuesday, the Winter shall be mild, and the Spring seasonable; the Summer shall be hot, mixed with pleasant Showers, and the Fruits of the Earth shall abound exceedingly. He that is born on that Day shall live long, and enjoy Plenty all his Days: Whatever Work shall be begun on that Day, throughout the Year, shall prosper; and he that falls sick on that Day shall surely recover.  
Wednesday.] If it falls on a Wednesday, the Winter will be very cold and the Summer extreme hot; Corn will be but indifferent, and Fruit not over plenty: Many will desire to travel, who shall never return again: He that is born on this Day shall be but short lived, and of a sickly Constitution: But to begin a Work on any Wednesday that Year, shall be good.  
Thursday.] If it fall on a Thursday, the Year shall be generally prosperous; the Winter shall be mild, the Spring moderate, and the Summer fruitful. Truth and Justice shall flourish in the World, and Tyranny and Oppression shall be brought down and depressed; and he that is born on this Day, shall come to Honour: Marriages shall be fortunate and happy; and to begin any Work on a Thursday, throughout the Year, shall be prosperous.  
Friday.] If it fall on a Friday, the Winter shall be full of Storms and high Winds, and in the Summer the Air disturbed by Thunder and Lightning: There shall be plenty of Fruit and Corn; but Sheep and Bees shall suffer greatly: He that is born on this Day, shall be strong and lusty, but much given to Women: And he that gins a Work on this Day, shall meet but with indifferent Success.  
Saturday.] If Christmas-day shall fall on a Saturday, look for a dark and cloudy Winter, thick, foggy and unwholesome; the Spring tempestuous, and the Summer very moist and wet. Fruit shall be scarce, and Corn dear, and Sickness, and Death of many, is much to be feared. He that is born on this Day, shall be poor, and in Disgrace, tho' at last he may get Riches, and overcome it. If a Man fall Sick on this Day, he seldom recovereth. And he that gins his Work on a Saturday this Year, shall repent before his Work be done.   

II. A short Prognostication concerning Children born every Day of the Week; according to Hali, and others.  
A Child born on Sunday shall be of long Life, and obtain great Riches.  
A Child born on Monday shall be weak ●nd of an effeminate Temper, and seldom ●ome to Honour.  
A Child born on Tuesday, shall be given ●p to the inordinate Desire of Riches, and ●s in danger of dying by Violence.  
A Child born on Wednesday shall be given ●o the Study of Learning, and shall profit thereby.  
A Child born of Thursday shall arrive to great Honour and Dignity.  
A Child born on Friday, shall be of a strong Constitution, but very Lecherous; ●nd if it be a Female, is in great danger of ●urning Whore.  
A Child born on Saturday shall be dull and ●eavy, of a dogged Disposition, and sel●lom come to good.   

iv Of the Birth of Children, with respect to the Age of the Moon.  
TO be born on the first Day of the New Moon, is very fortunate: For to such all things shall succeed well; their Sleep shall be sweet, and their Dreams pleasant; they shall have a long Life, and increase in Riches.  
A Child born the second Day of the new Moon, shall grow apace, but will be much inclined to Lust, whether it be Male or Female. This day is also proper to go on Messages, to trade by Land, or to sail on the Sea; as also to put Seed into the Ground, that it may thrive. On this Day also thy Dreams shall quickly come to pass, whether they be good or bad. It is also good on this day to open a Vein, if there be occasion.  
A Child born on the third Day of the Moon, shall die quickly; or at least be short lived: On this day to begin any Work of moment, is very unfortunate; for it seldom comes to a good Conclusion. If Theft be committed on this day, it will be soon discovered: And on this day a Man that falls Sick, will hardly recover.  
On the fourth Day of the Moon, the Child that is born shall prosper in the World, and be of good Repute. On this day it is good to begin any Enterprise, provided it be done with good Advice, and with Dependence upon Heaven for a Blessing. A Man that falls sick this day, shall either recover or die in a little time. They that will may also on this day use Phlebotomy.  
The fifth Day of the Moon is unfortunate, and the Child that is born therein shall die in its Infancy: On this day let no Man do any thing of moment, for it will have no Success: He that is in danger, and seeks to escape this day, shall certainly be taken; he had better therefore lie still as he is: If good Counsel be given thee to day, take it, but execute it to Morrow. He that falls sick, and takes his Bed this day, has reason to fear, he may never rise out of it again: Yet this day you may let Blood with good success.  
The sixth Day of the Moon the Child that is born shall be of long Life, but very sickly: To send Children to School this day is very fortunate, and denotes they shall increase in Learning. Hunting on this day will also be successful: But if a Man fall sick, he shall hardly recover.  
On the seventh Day the Child that is born, may live many Years; but he that falls sick will never recover: On this day it is good to shave the Head, to tame wild Beasts, and to buy Hogs, for he that does so, shall gain much by them. If he that has been long sick, takes Physic, this day, he is likely to recover.  
On the eighth Day, a Child born shall be in danger of dying young; but if he outlive his first Sickness, he shall live long, and arrive to a great Estate. Whatever Business a Man undertakes on this day shall prosper; but it is especially good to buy , and to begin Buildings: And he that dreams a Dream shall quickly have it come to pass. He that falls sick on this day shall recover; and a thing that's lost shall be found.  
On the ninth Day, the Child that shall be born, shall be very Fortunate; enjoying a long Life, and arriving to great Riches. This also is a fortunate day for Business, for what thou undertakest this day, shall come to a good Issue: He that is pursued shall escape; and he that groans under the Burden of Oppression, shall be opportunely relieved. But have a care thou let not Blood this day, for it is dangerous.  
On the tenth Day the Child that is born, shall be a great Traveller, pass through many Kingdoms and Nations, and at last die at Home in his old Age. Do nothing on this day but what thou wouldst have known, for all secret things shall be brought to light. She that falls into Labour this day, shall be delivered without Danger; but he that being sick, takes his Bed this day, shall lie by it a long time. Blood-letting may be used this day with good success.  
On the eleventh Day of the Moon, the Child that is born shall be of a good Constitution, and be mightily devoted to Religion; shall be long lived, and of a lovely Countenance, and shall have some particular Mole on his Forehead: But if it be a Female, she shall be much addicted to Wisdom and Learning. On this day it is good to begin a Journey, for it shall be prosperous; and also to Marry, for the married Couple shall be happy all their lives, and be blessed with many Children. It is likewise good for Shepherds to change their Sheepfolds.  
The twelfth day of the Moon's Age, in Allusion to the Twelfth House of the Zodiac, betokens nothing but Sorrow and Woe; and the Child born on this Day, shall be given to Wrathfulness, and subject to many Afflictions. He that falls sick on this day, his Sickness, after a long time of languishing, shall end in Death: If there be occasion to let Blood this day, let it be toward the Evening, and then it may do no harm.  
On the thirteenth Day of the Moon, the Child that is born shall be of a short Life, and subject to much Misery whilst it lives, by reason of peevish Crossness, so that it can never be pleased: To plant Vines, or to gather Grapes, and eat the Fruits this day, is very good: He that on this day was sent to Prison, shall be quickly set at Liberty; and whatever has been lost on this day, shall quickly be found. To wed a Wife on this day, is good, for she shall be both loving and obedient to her Husband.  
On the fourteenth Day, the Child that is then born, shall be an Enemy to his Country, and seek the Destruction of his Prince, which shall bring him to his deserved End: On this day if thou askest a Kindness either of a Friend or an Enemy, yet it shall be granted thee. Give to a sick Man Physic, and it shall restore him to his former Health.  
On the fifteenth day, the Child that is born, shall quickly die: On this day begin no Work, it is unfortunate; yet he that falls sick this day, may recover, but it will be after long sickness; that which was lost yesterday, may be found again this day.  
On the sixteenth Day, the Child born shall be of ill Manners, and very Unfortunate; insomuch that tho' he may live long, yet his Life will be a burden to him. Yet this is a good day for Buying, Selling and Merchandizing; and also to deal in great ; but it is not good to dream in, for Dreams on this day are commonly hurtful, and such as come to pass long after. If a Man be sick, and on this day change his Habitation, he may recover, and do well again.  
On the seventeenth Day, the Child that shall be born will be foolish, to that degree, that it shall be almost a Natural; and thereby become a great Affliction to his Parents. To go on Messages this day is unfortunate▪ Yet to contract Matrimony, to compound Physical Preparations, and to take Physic, is very good: but by no means to let Blood.  
On the eighteenth Day, the Child that shall be born, if a Male, will be Valiant, Courageous and Eloquent; but if a Female, Chaste, Industrious, and Painful; and shall come to Honour in her old Age. It is good this day to begin Buildings, and to put out your Children in order to be brought up in Learning. Have a ca●e of being let Blood this day, for it is very dangerous.  
On the nineteenth Day, the Child then born, if a Male, shall be renowned for Wisdom and Virtue, and thereby arrive to great Honours; but if it be a Female, she will be of a weak and sickly Constitution; yet she shall live to be married. This day they may Bleed that have occasion.  
On the twentieth Day of the Moon's Age, the Child that shall be born shall be stubborn, quar●ilsome and a great Fighter, yet shall he arrive to Riches, and get store of Money. This is a good day to purchase Servants on, or to begin any manner of Business.  
On the one and twentieth Day of the Moon, the Child that is born shall be unhappy; for tho' he shall be witty and ingenious, yet he shall be addicted to stealing, which may bring him to the Gallows; or if he escape that, yet he will ●e stirring up Plots and Rebellions against the Government, which in the end will be fatal to him. He that is minded to keep his Money, aught on this day to abstain from Gamin●, or else he may happen to lose it all. Abstain from Bleeding this day at your own peril.  
On the two and twentieth Day, the Child born shall be very fortunate, and purchase a good Estate; he shall also be of a very cheerful Countenance, comely and religious; and shall be well beloved. Avoid going of any Message this day, for they will not be fortunate. It is good this day to remove Bees from one place to another, in order to their increase. Blood-letting this day may be profitable.  
On the three and twentieth Day the Child born, shall be of an ungovernable Spirit, and shall give up himself to wandering abroad in the World, and seeking of his Fortuen in Foreign Parts, and in the end shall die miserably▪ This is a good day to wed with a good Wife; for he that meets with such a one, aught to marry her while he can have her. It is also generally a prosperous day to all that begin Business thereon.  
On the twenty fourth Day of the Moon, a Child born then shall be a Prodigy▪ in the World, and make all Men admire at his surprising and wonderful Actions, which shall exceed those of the ordinary sort of Men.  
On the five and twentieth Day of the Moon, the Child then born shall be wicked; he shall encounter with many Dangers, and at last shall perish by them. This is an unfortunate day, and threatens Dangers and Disappointment to those that begin any Enterprise of moment thereon. A Man that falls sick on this day, shall hardly recover.  
On the six and twentieth Day of the Moon's Age, that Child that shall be then born, shall be very beautiful and amiable, but yet but of an indifferent Station in the World, if it be a Male; but if it be a Female, a rich Man marries her for her Beauty. He that on this day falls sick of a Dropsy, shall hardly recover. Let those that Travel on this day, beware of meeting with those they don't care for, and that yet may ease them of their Burdens.  
The twenty seventh Day, the Child that shall be born, shall be of that sweet and affable Temper and Disposition, that it shall attract the Love of every one with whom it shall converse; and yet, if a Man, shall never rise to any great height in the World: But if a Maiden, the sweetness of her Disposition may advance her; for such a one is to be esteemed above Rubies. If a Man fall sick on this day, tho' he may endure much misery, yet he shall at last recover.  
On the twenty eight Day of the Moon, the Child that is born shall be the Delight of its Parents, but yet subject to much Sickness, and many Distempers, which shall take it away before it arrives to a perfect Age.  
On the twenty ninth Day, the Child that shall be born, shall be fortunate and happy; blessed with long Life, and attain to an eminent degree of Holiness, Wisdom and Virtue. To marry a good Wife is always good, and such will his be, that shall marry this day. Fishing and Hunting are both good Recreations, and on this day will prove very successful.  
On the thirtieth Day, the Child that shall be born will be fortunate and happy, and well skilled in Arts and Sciences.  
These and divers other the like things, happen to Mankind, according to the different Age and Course of the Moon, which has a mighty influence upon all Humane Bodies.  
And as the Moon, so all the rest of the Signs and Planets have their various and respective Influences upon Subluminary Bodies, according to which Man is governed, and his Nature inclined this way or that way, according to the Nature of the Sign or Pla●et Ruling him; tho' all in Subordination ●o the will of our Supreme Creator; which ●ccasioned that memorable saying,  

Regunt Astra Homines;  
Sed Regit Astra Deus.   

That is,  
The Stars rules Man;  
But GOD rules the Stars.   
I will therefore for the Advantage and Benefit of my Reader, treat a little more distinctly of the Powers and Influences of the Celestial Bodies, as they are laid down by Ancient and Modern Astrologers, who have written upon that Subject more largely.   

V Of Astrology, what it is.  
AStrology is that Art which teacheth us the Influences and Effect of the Celestial Planets upon the Bodies of Men, Women and Children, which by their Various Aspects, Positions, and Configurations, do foreshow the Changes and Mutations both of Particular Bodies, and also of Kingdoms and States.  
Some would confound Astrology and Astronomy together, which are in truth different things: And both have their peculiar  
The sixth is ☿ Mercury, whose Nature is cold and dry, variable; he is situated very near the Sun, and is rarely seen: He makes his Revolution in the same time as the Sun and Venus.  
The seventh is ☽ Luna, or the Moon, which is the last or lowest; and whose Nature is cold and moist; every one knows she is of a pale Colour; and she maketh her Revolution in twenty seven Days and eight Hours.  
Having thus giving you a brief Account of the Names and Natures of the seven Planets, I shall here add an Account of the five Aspects also, which are these:   

XII. Of the Five Aspects.  
1. ♂ COnjunction, which is when two Planets are in one Sign and Degree.  
2. Sextile, which is, when two Planets are distant two Signs, or sixty Degrees.  
3. □ Qartile, which is, when two Planets are distant three Signs, or ninety Degrees.  
4. △ Trine, which is, when two Planets are distant four Signs, or one hundred and twenty Degrees.  
5. ☍ Opposition, which is, when two Planets are distant six Signs, or one hundred and eighty Degrees.  
There are also two opposite Points in the Eccliptick Line, called Nodes, which we commonly call the Dragon's Head, and Tail, thus Characterised:  

☊ Dragon's Head.  
☋ Dragon's Tail.   
I should now show you the various Effects and Operations of the seven Planets, as they are posited in the several Houses; but I think it first most necessary to give you an Explanation of several Terms used in the Astronomical and Astrological Science.   

XIII. An Explication of the Circles of the Sphere, and some other Terms in Astronomy, for the easier Understanding of this Book, and further Information of the Reader.  
THe Equinoctial Circle, Equator, or Equinox, is a great Circle or Line, equally distant from the two Poles of the World, dividing the Sphere in the midst.  
Zodiac is a broad Obliqne Circle crossing the Equinoctial in two opposite Places, viz. in the beginning of Aries, and the beginning 〈◊〉 Libra; so that one half declines towards the North, the other towards the South; ●nd in this Circle is comprehended the ●welve Constellations or Signs, every Sign containing thirty Degrees in length, and ●welve in breadth. Note also that the first ●ix are Northern Signs, and the six last Southern Signs.  
The Ecliptic Line is a line imagined to go ●long the midst of the Zodiac, as a Girdle, ●ut of which the Sun never goeth; but the Moon and other Planets are sometimes on ●ne side, and sometimes on the other side, ●hich is called their Latitudes; only the axed Stars altar not their Latitude, whether ●reat or small; but the Longitude of a Star, ●● the Arch or part of the Ecleptick in De●rees, between the beginning of Aries, and ●●e Circle which passeth through the Poles ●f the Zodiac, and also through the Body ●f the Star; where note that all Circles of ●●e Sphere or Heavens, whether they are ●●rge or small, have three hundred and sixty degrees allowed to each of them.  
Colours are said to be two great movable circle's, crossing each other at the Poles of ●●e World, one cutting the Equinox at the beginning of Aries, and at the beginning of ●ibra, and the other cutting the Ecleptick, the beginning of Cancer, and at the beginning of Capricorn; and so dividing the Globe into four equal parts.  
Horizon is a great Circle which divideth the upper Hemisphere (that is the uppe● Hall of the World) from the lower, we being always supposed to be in the midst.  
Meridian is a great Circle passing through the Poles of the World, and the Poles of th● Horizon, called the Zenith and the Nardi● (which are two Points, one directly ove● our Heads, the other directly under our Feet) on which the Sun always is just at Noon; an● to go directly North and South, the Meridian is not changed; but to go East or West it is changed; so sixty Miles either way maketh one Degree, or four minutes of Tim● difference under the Equinox, viz. sixt● miles Eastward, it is Noon four minute sooner, and sixty miles Westward fou● minutes later.  
Tropics are supposed to be two less Circles parallel with the Equinoctial, an● distant from it on either side twenty thre● degrees, thirty one minutes each; the Ecliptic Line toucheth the Tropic of Cancerd on the North side of the Equinal; and i● toucheth the Tropic of Capricorn on th● South side thereof; so that the Sun ha●● his motion between these two Circles.  
The Arctic Circle is equally distant from the North Pole, as the Tropics are distant from the Equinox, twenty three degrees thirty one minuets.  
The Antarctick Circle is the same distance from the South Pole.  
Zones, so called, are five in Number, two cold, two Temperate, and one Hot, which are divided by the two Tropics, and Poler Circles from each other; the hot Zone is counted between the▪ two Tropics; that is, extended from one to the other, being about forty seven degrees two minutes broad; the Temperate, Zones are Extended from the Tropics on either side, to about forty two degrees fifty eight minutes; that is, Northward, to the Arctic Circle, and Southward to the Antarctick Circle: And the two cold Zones are each within those two small Circles, having the Poles for their Centre.  
The Poles of the World, two Points exactly oppose to each other in the Heavens, one in the North, the other in the South, the Earth being in the midst; so that it seems to turn about, as if it were born up by them; therefore by some it is termed the Axletree of the World, as if there were a Line supposed to be drawn from one Pole, through the Centre of the Earth to the other, and the Earth turning thereon; tho' holy Writ tells us, The Lord hangeth the Earth upon Nothing, it being upholden by his Mighty Power. The Pole Arctic, or North Pole, is elevated above our Horizon fifty one Degrees; and those Stars within that distance from it, never set with us, but keep their Course round it daily; so likewise those that are at that distance from the South Pole, never rise with us, but perform their Course in the like order.  
Azimuths are supposed Lines or Circles of Distance from the Meridian, drawn from the Zenith to any Degree, or two Degrees of the Horizon, or according to the thirty two Points of the Mariners Compass, so that in Travelling or failing any way, supposing a Circle to go from our Zenith directly before us to the Horizon, is the Azimuth, called the Vertical Point, as well as the Zenith.  
Almicantharats, or Almadarats, or Circles of Altitude, are imagined Circles, passing through the Meridian, parallel with the Horizon.  
The Sphere is a round Body, representing the Frame of the whole World, as the Circles of the Heavens and the Earth: This is sometimes called a material Sphere, for the Orbs of the Pianets are called their Spheres, that is, the Circles in which they move.  
Ascention is the Rising of any Star, or of any part of the Ecliptic above the Horizon: Descension is its going down.  
Right Ascension of a Star, is that part of the Equinox that riseth or setteth with the Star in a Right Sphere; but in an Obliqne Sphere, it is that part of the Equinoctial in degrees contained between the first Point of Aries, and that place of the Equinoctial which passeth by the Meridian, with the Centre of the Star  
Obliqne Ascension is a part of the Equinoctial in degrees, contained betwixt the beginning of Aries, and that of the Equinox; which riseth with any Star or part of the Ecliptic, in an Obliqne Sphere.  
Ascentional Difference is the Difference betwixt the Right and Obliqne Ascension, or he number of Degrees contained between ●hat place and the Equinox, that riseth with ●he Centre of a Star, and that place of the equinox that cometh to the Meridian with ●he same Star.  
Solstice is in the Summer, when the Sun in the beginning of Cancer; and in the ●inter, when the Sun enters into Capri●rn; because then the Days seem to stand still, and neither seem to increase nor decrease above two minutes in ten or twelve Days.  
Constellation is a certain number of Stars, supposed to be limited within some form or likeness, as Aries the Ram is said to have thireen Stars, Taurus the Bull, thirty three Stars. Arcturus, Orion and the Pleides, mentioned Job 9 9 are said to be Constellations.  
Perihelium is the Point wherein the Earth, (or any Planet) is nearest the Sun.  
Aphelium is the Point wherein the Earth (or any Planet) is farthest from the Sun.  
Planets, are the seven erratic or wandering Stars, called Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sol, (or the Sun) Venus, Mercury, and Luna (or the Moon) whose Characters, Names and Natures we have mentioned before, and whose Influences we shall by and by give you a farther Account of. These Planets have also their several Motions, as,  
Direct, is a Planets moving in its natural Course, which is forward.  
Retrograde is their moving backward, contrary to their direct Motion.  
Combust is their being under the Sunbeams, or within eight Degrees of him.  
Oriental is when a Planet riseth before the Sun; Occidental, after him.  
Latitude of the Earth, is the distance or breadth on either side of the Equinox towards the Poles; and they that are under the Equinox have no Latitude, but the Poles of the World are in their Horizon; this is a right Sphere, and every sixty Miles directly North or South, are said to make one Degree or Latitude, and the height of either Pole above the Horizon, is answerable to the degree of Latitude in an Obliqne Sphere; as London is counted to be in Latitude of fifty one Degrees thirty two Minutes, the Pole there being elevated as much. The like is to be observed in any other place or Region.  
Longitude of the Earth, is the outside thereof, extended from West to East, crossing the Latitude at right Angles, the beginning thereof (according to some Astronomers) is the Canary Isles, so going Eastward quite round the World, unto the same place again, which is three hundred and sixty degrees, and under the Equinoctial is reputed to be two Millions one Thousand six Hundred Miles, reckoning sixty Miles to a degree; but the farther off the Equinoctial, the fewer Miles are in a degree; for at London about thirty seven make a degree of Longitude; so these degrees grows less and less, until they all meet in the Latitude of Ninety, that is, under the Poles.  
Parallels are Lines strait or circular, equally distant from each other, as the Equinox, Tropics, and Degrees of Latitude, etc.  
Climate, or Clime, is such a space of Earth comprehended between two Parellels, in which space there is half an Hour's difference in the Sun-dials, and length of the Days.  
Antipodes are those whose Feet are directly against ours, as if a Line were drawn from one, through the Centre of the Earth, to the other.  
And this shall suffice as to the Explanation of things, which I have done as briefly as I could, for the Advantage of the Reader, to whom possibly these things (so necessary to be known) may have hitherto been concealed.   

XIV. Of the Sun's Revolution through the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac, with an Astrological Judgement of those that shall be born when the Sun is in any of those Signs.  
THo' there be seven Planets (as we have before shown) yet the Sun and Moon being the two great Luminaries of the World, have greater Influence upon our Bodies than all the rest; and the Sun shining by his own Light, and being the Fountain both of Light and Life, has greater Power than the Moon, and his Influence is more in any of the twelve Houses; I shall therefore here, because I affect Brevity, give the Reader an Astrological Judgement of the Sun's Power and Influence, being in any of the twelve Houses: After I have first acquainted my Reader what a House is, and signifies in Astrology:  
A House is a certain Space in the Firmament, which is parted or separated by several Degrees, by which the Planets have their Motion, Metaphorically called Houses; for as in a House there be many Mansions; so every Planet has a peculiar or proper place in the Firmament, by which it moves, and in which it is resident, containing thirty Degrees, by which one House is differenced from another; and these are placed by Astrologers in the following order,   diagram 

The Sun being in Aries,  
Makes the Person born under it of a froward and peevish Disposition, quickly angry, but as soon pleased; given to study, and very Eloquent, but proud, lying and luxurious; promising all things, but performing nothing; not beloved among his Kindred, and obnoxious to danger from his Enemies: he shall be in danger of receiving harm from fourfooted Beasts, as being thrown from a Horse, and the like; so that he ought to avoid all Hawking, Hunting and other Exercises to be performed on Horseback, which are like to be fatal to him: But in other things he may be more fortunate. If the Person born be a Female, tho' she may be fair, and fruitful in Children, yet she will be given to lying, and of so bad a Temper and Disposition, that her Husband will live but uneasily with her. Note this also, That those born in the Daytime, the Sun being in Aries, will be fortunate and happy; but those that are born in the Night, will be unfortunate and come to disgrace.   

The Sun being in Taurus,  
Makes the Native bold and fortunate in attempting hard and difficult Affairs; it shows him also victorious over his Enemies, and a great Traveller, but banished from his native Country. It also shows one servile, familiar and angry; but in his old Age only; for in his Youth he shall obtain Riches by Marriage, which shall make him better humoured. But when Age comes, it brings Sickness with it, and that makes Men peevish. It makes Females wanton, yet painful and obedient; but full of tittletattel, it also shows 'em inclined to Whoredom; which will wear off by degrees. She shall have many Husbands and divers Children.   

The Sun being in Gemini,  
Denotes a fair Child, also one that is wise, liberal, merciful; also a Boaster, and and one that runs up and down without any regard to his Business, whereby he shall obtain but little Riches of his own; but shall be of that Fidelity and Truth, that he shall have the command of the Public Treasure: It also denotes one to be of a complaisant Behaviour, a good Understanding, and acceptable to those with whom he shall have to do It shows him also to be well versed in the Mathematical Sciences, and Arithmetic; and that he shall be in great danger about twenty three Years of Age, either to be hurt by Fire, or bitten by a mad Dog.   

The Sun being in Cancer,  
Shows a Person to be of a good wit, humility, and wisdom; but one inclined to Pleasure, and the love of Women. It also shows one attempting many things, and especially on the Seas, and thereby often in danger, and vexed with many Incommodities, and with much Poverty and Misery; and that tho' he may get much, yet he shall be never the richer; he shall dig for Treasure, and find that which he looked not for. But if it be a Maid, she shall be witty, shamefaced, civil, wise, diligent, nimble and beautiful; soon pleased, yet deceitful and crafty, saying one thing, and doing another; subject to many Dangers, by Water, by falling, by Childbearing, and the Colic. And after the Age of twenty six, whether the Native be Male or Female, it promiseth good success. It denotes also a Person to be painful, faithful, acquainted with great Men, and fortunate in Husbandry.   

The Sun being in Leo,  
Denotes a Man proud and arrogant, bold and stout; a Mocker, a Scorner, unmerciful, cruel, and hard to be entreated, beset with many Enemies, and subject to many miseries; also a Captain or other Commander, looking for Promotion from Great Men; unfortunate in Children, and meeting with many Afflictions by their means, putting himself into many Dangers; he shall be also in danger of Fire, Sword, and violence of Beasts, by whom he shall be in danger of Death; but with prudence he may escape all threatened Danger. But if the Native be of the Female Sex, she shall be bold, have great and large Breasts, and slenper Legs, which are Tokens of stoutness and boldness, anger, slanders, and babbling; tho' the softness natural to Women do alleviate the excess thereof. she ought however to be especially careful of hot waters and fire, by which she will be in great danger: She shall also be much inclined to the Sickness, or gnawing of the Stomach. But after the Age of one and twenty Years she shall be fortunate in Riches, which she shall obtain by the help of great Men, and the use of other men's Goods; also by House-keeping, Beauty, and Love.   

The Sun being in Virgo,  
Makes Men fortunate and successful in Houshold-affairs, wise and faithful, stout and ambitious; his Wife shall die suddenly in his absence; he shall have many things stolen from him, but shall be revenged on his Enemies. He shall be so much given to talk, that he can't keep his own secrets: It also shows one fair of Face, of genteel Behaviour, a Lover of Women, and delighting to be in the Courts of Princes and Noblemen. It also denotes one wise, just, and honourable, a Patron and Defender of his Friends, also Religious and temperate, of a comely Personage, and well-featured. If the Native be a Maiden, she shall be witty, honest and modest; of a willing mind, diligent and circumspect; and shall be married about the Age of fifteen Years. But whether Male or Female, they shall be liable to meet with many Afflctions.   

The Sun being in Libra,  
Denotes the Person to be fortunate in all Maritine-affairs, and that he shall gain by trading in Spices and precious Stones: It also shows a comely Body, and a voluble pleasant Tongue, a good Name, and one curious of understanding Secrets; but not very careful to perform what he promises; how much soever he may pretend to it: It shows also that he shall have several Wives, and that he shall quickly bury his first: He shall also be a Gainer by dead Men, who will leave him large Legacies: He shall be a great Lover of Women, and entertain unlawful Familiarities with them. He shall be also a good Interpreter of Dreams whether he be born by Day or Night. If the Native be of the Female Sex she shall be free and debonair and of a jocund Humour, taking much delight in Herbs, loving the Fields, and wandering into strange Places: About twenty three years of Age, she shall have a Husband, and be happily married, for her Beauty, pleasantness of Conversation, and good Behaviour, shall much promote her. Likewise the Children of Libra are such as are Studious, and Lovers of Learning; but without special care be taken, they may receive prejudice by Fire, or Scalding-water.   

The Sun being in Scorpio,  
Increases the Natives Inheritance, and gives them boldness and stoutness, inclining them likewise to flattery; by which means those they deal withal are often deceived; and when they expect Bread, may meet with nothing but a Scopion. It likewise denotes a Person full of Mirth, given to jesting, and easy of belief, and at the same time a Conqueror of his Enemies. It makes a Woman to be full of ●raft and Wit; and yet her first Husband shall deceive her. She shall likewise be subject to the pain of the Spleen, and have some extraordinary Mark, either in the Head, Shoulder, or brawn of the Arm. It makes both Sex's bold ●●d rash, given to thieving and to search out hidden things; also it makes them wanton Fornicators, and full of evil Thoughts, and given to too much Talking.   

The Sun being in Sagittary,  
Gives fortune, and boldness to take in hand any Enterprise; inclining a Person ●o travel, and take voyages by Sea, and journeys by Land, and not without considerable advantage: It also gives access into the Courts of Princes, where the Native shall ●e advanced to some honourable Post. It also shows a Person given to riding, hawking, hunting, leaping, fight, and such manly Exercises; at which he always comes off with Honour, by which means he is envied and has many Enemies, whom yet he ●hall vanquish and overcome. It also shows ●e shall possess the Inheritance of his Father, and that he shall be just, ingenious, faithful, hearty, a sure Friend, and a generous Enemy. If the Native be a Woman, it likewise betokens the same; she shall be industrious and of an excellent temper; she ●hall be envied of her Enemies, but shall o●ercome them: She shall be married about ●eventeen, and have many Children.   

The Sun being in Capricorn,  
Shows the Native shall meet with many Afflictions and Adversities, which he shall sustain with much Resolution: Yet it also shows him a●gry and fretful, and one that keeps naughty Company. It also makes him merry and cheerful; yet he may fall in love to that degree, that he may be ready to die for his Mistress; but if the Nativity be by Night; he shall be Unconstant: It also shows that in Age he shall grow covetous: He shall thrive by Navigation, especially if he Trade toward the East; for from thence his Fortune shall arise. If the Native be a Women, she shall be modest and bashful, of a fearful disposition, and very much addicted to travel.   

The Sun being in Aquarius,  
Maketh the Native of a friendly Disposition, fearful of Waters, and in danger of receiving prejudice thereby: He shall be subject to Sickness and Quotidian Agues, until about the fifteenth Year of his Age; after whihc he shall be more fortunate, for by travelling through divers Countries, he shall gather Riches, which with a liberal hand he shall distribute; he shall meet with sundry Losses and Afflictions, especially by means of his Wife and other Women; and shall live for a long time without any enjoyment of her: But she being dead, his Affairs will be more fortunate. If the Native be a Woman, she shall be comely of Body, and of a faithful and constant Mind; she shall be enriched with other men's Goods, but her Children shall be a great Affliction to her, and she shall receive much damage by them. She shall not attain to any great fortune till the two and twentieth Year of her Age, and then she shall arrive to a competent Estate.   

The Sun being in Pisces,  
Denotes a Man to be quick, of a voluble and ready Tongue, bold and conceited; but fortunate in finding out hidden Treasures; for this is peculiar to those who are born when the Sun is in Pisces, that they shall find something unlooked for, and shall be also enriched with other men's Goods: It also shows them to be merry and jocose, of a good disposition, and loving the company of good Men: They seldom live long; but if they reach to thirty five Years, they may live to old Age. They shall never be very Rich, except in their own Opinions; always full of troublesome thoughts; and are in danger of being brought into Captivity, by means of Women. They have commonly some mark either in the Elbow or Foot, and their fortune will come from the South. If the Native be a Woman, she will be hot, bold, of an insolent Tongue, contumelious, a notorious Scold; and something worse; for she will forsake her own Husband, and cleave to an Adulterer.  
Thus I have given you an Account of the Influences of the Sun, being in any of the Celestial Signs; by which any Person may know in what Sign the Sun was, at the time of his Birth.    

XV. Of the Evil or Perilous Days in every Month of the Year, according to Erra Pater, a Jewish Doctor in Astronomy and Physic.  
THat Great Doctor, Erra Pater, who is so famous for his Prognostications, assures us, that there are certain Days in the Year, which it concerns all Persons to know, because they are so perilous and dangerous: For on these Days, as he saith, if any Man or Woman shall be let Blood, they shall die within twenty one Days following; or whoso falleth Sick on any of these Days, they shall certainly die: And whoso beginneth a Journey on any of these Days, he shall be in danger of Death, before he return: Also he that Marrieth a Wife on any of these Days, they shall either be quickly parted, or else live together with much Sorrow and Discontent. And lastly, Whosoever on any of these Days, beginneth any great Business, it will never prosper, nor come to its desired Perfection. Now since these Days, according to Erra Pater, are so unfortunate, it highly concerns every one both to know and take notice of them; which the Reader may do, I have here set them down in the following Order:  

Unfortunate Days in each Month.  
In January are eight Days; that is to say, the 1st, 2d, 4th, 5th, 10th, 15th, 17th, and 19th.  
In February are three Days; that is, the 8th, 17th, and 19th.  
In March are three Days; that is, the 15th, 16th, and 21th.  
In April are two Days; the 15th, and the 21th.  
In May are three Days; that is, the 15th, 17th, and 20th.  
In June are two Days, the 4th, and the 7th.  
In July are two Days, the 15th and 20th.  
In August are two Days, the 19th and the 20th.  
In September are two Days, the 6th and 7th.  
In October is one Day, the 6th.  
In November are two Days, the 5th and the 19th.  
In December are three Days, the 6th, the 7th, and the 11th: And others say, the 15th and the 16th.  
But besides these, there are also the Canicular, or Dog-days, which are Days of great Danger and Peril; and they begin the 19th day of July, and end the 27th day of A●gust; during which time, it is very dangerous to fall Sick, to take Physic, or to be let Blood; but if Necessity call for it, it is best to be done before the midst of the Day.    

XVI. Of the Planetary Days and Hours, and how to know under what Planet a Man is born.  
THe Planetary Hours are these Hours in which each Planet Reigns, and has the chief Dominion: Of which Erra Pater, Albamazer, and others of the Ancient Learned Doctors give the following Account:  

Saturn is Lord on Saturday.  
Jupiter is Lord on Thursday.  
Mars is Lord on Tuesday.  
Sol is Lord on Sunday.  
Venus Reigns on Friday.  
Mercury on Wednesday.  
Luna on Monday.   
On Saturday the first Hour after Midnight, Saturn reigns, the Second Jupiter, the third Mars, the fourth hour Sol reigns, the fifth hour Venus, the sixth Mercury, and the seventh hour Luna; and then again Saturn the eighth hour, Jupiter the ninth hour, Mars the tenth hour, Sol the eleventh hour, Venus the twelfth hour, Mercury the thirteenth, Luna the fourteenth; and then the third time Saturn the fifteenth, Jupiter the sixteenth, Mars the seventeenth, Sol the eighteenth, Venus the nineteenth, Mercury the twentieth, and Luna the one and twentieth ●our: Then in the fourth place, Saturn the two and twentieth hour, Jupiter the three and twentieth, and Mars the four and twentieth: And then Sol beginneth the first hour after Midnight on Sunday, Venus the second hour, Mercury the third, and so to 24, which is the hour of Mercury, and then Luna gins the first hour after Midnight on Monday, Saturn the second, Jupiter the third, and so to 24 again, which is the hour of Jupiter; and than Mars gins the first hour after Midnight on Tuesday; and Sol the second, and so forward hour by hour, and Planet by Planet, according to their Order, by which every Planet reigns the first Hour of his own Day: And so likewise the 8th, the 15th, and the 22d: As for Instance, Saturn reigns the first hour, the 8th, the 15th, and the 22d on Saturday; Sol the same hours on Sunday, Luna the same on Monday, Mars the same on Tuesday, Mercury the same on Wednesday, Jupiter the same on Thursday, and so Venus on Friday. Which for the readier and easier finding out, I have thus set down:   

XVII. A Table of the Planetary Hours for every Day in the Week.  
Sunday Mond. Tuesd. Wedn. Thursd. Friday Saturd. Pl. H. Pl. H. Pl. H. Pl. H. Pl. H. Pl. H. Pl. H. ● ● ● 1 ♂ 1 ☿ 1 ♃ 1 ♀ 1 ♄ 1 ♀ 2 ♄ 2 ☉ 2 ☽ 2 ♂ 2 ☿ 2 ♃ 2 ☿ 3 ♃ 3 ♀ 3 ♄ 3 ☉ 3 ☽ 3 ♂ 3 ☽ 4 ♂ 4 ● 4 ♃ 4 ♀ 4 ♄ 4 ☉ 4 ♄ 5 ☉ 5 ☽ 5 ♂ 5 ☿ 5 ♃ 5 ♀ 5 ♃ 6 ♀ 6 ♄ 6 ☉ 6 ☽ 6 ♂ 6 ☿ 6 ♂ 7 ● 7 ♃ 7 ♀ 7 ♄ 7 ☉ 7 ☽ 7 ☉ 8 ☽ 8 ♂ 8 ☿ 8 ♃ 8 ♀ 8 ● 8 ♀ 9 ♄ 9 ☉ 9 ☽ 9 ♂ 9 ☿ 9 ♃ 9 ☿ 10 ♃ 10 ♀ 10 ♄ 10 ☉ 10 ☽ 10 ♂ 10 ☽ 11 ♂ 11 ● 11 ♃ 11 ♀ 11 ♄ 11 ☉ 11 ♄ 12 ☉ 12 ☽ 12 ♂ 12 ● 12 ♃ 12 ♀ 12 ♃ 13 ♀ 13 ♄ 13 ☉ 13 ● 13 ♂ 13 ☿ 13 ♂ 14 ☿ 14 ♃ 14 ♀ 14 ♄ 14 ☉ 14 ☽ 14 ☉ 15 ☽ 15 ♂ 15 ● 15 ♃ 15 ♀ 15 ♄ 15 ♀ 16 ♄ 16 ☉ 16 ☽ 16 ♂ 16 ☿ 16 ♃ 16 ☿ 17 ♃ ● 17 ♄ 17 ☉ 17 ☽ 17 ♂ 17 ☽ 18 ♂ 18 ☿ 18 ♃ 18 ♀ 18 ♄ 18 ☉ 18 ♄ 19 ☉ 19 ● 19 ♂ 19 ● 19 ♃ 19 ♀ 19 ♃ 20 ♀ 20 ♄ 20 ☉ 20 ☽ 20 ♂ 20 ● 20 ♂ 21 ☿ 21 ♃ 21 ● 21 ♄ 21 ☉ 21 ☽ 21 ☉ 22 ☽ 22 ♂ 22 ☿ 22 ♃ 22 ♀ 22 ♄ 22 ♀ 23 ♄ 23 ☉ 23 ☽ 23 ♂ 23 ☿ 23 ♃ 23 ☿ 24 ♃ 24 ♀ 24 ♄ 24 ☉ 24 ☽ 24 ♂ 24  
This Table is so easy, it needs little Explanation: Its use is to find what Planet rules any Hour of the Day, every Day in the Week. For Example: I desire to know what Planet rules on Wednesday at seven a Clock at Night, under the Tilts of Wednesday I look for 19, which answers to seven a clock at night, for the Natural Day consisting of 24 hours gins after Midnight, so that from 12 at noon, you begin to reckon 13, 14, 15, etc. you will find that the 19th hour from Midnight, answers to seven a clock at night, over against which you will find ☉, which shows that to be the hour of the Sun. And if you would know what Planet rules at seven in the morning that Day, you will find against 7 ♀, which shows that Venus rules that hour; and so of any other hour in any Day.  
But I shall now come to speak of the Significations of the Planetary Hours of each Planet, and what it portends to those that are born in them:  
The Hour of Saturn is strong, and is good to do all things that require strength; such as fight, or bearing of burdens, or the like: But for other things it is very evil. He that is born in the hour of Saturn, is slow, dull and melancholy, of a dogged temper and disposition; black and swarthy of complexion, he is quarrelsome, wrathful, and very malicious.  
The Hour of Jupiter is in all things good, and denotes, Peace, Love and Concord: He that is born in the hour of Jupiter, is of a ruddy and sanguine Complexion; fair Hair, well proportioned Body, and of a lovely Countenance, his Face rather broad than long; well-spoken and courteous, and of a very affable Carriage, Sober, Just, and Religious.  
The Hour of Mars is evil, and denotes the Person born in it to be of a hot choleric Constitution, of a robust strong Body, soon angry, and hard to be reconciled: his face red, and his eyes sparkling and fiery: Much addicted to fight, and ready to quarrel with every Man he meets, which oftentimes brings him to an untimely end.  
The Hour of the Sun signifies great strength; and is very fortunate for Kings and Princes. He that is born in this hour, hath sharp eyes, brown hair, and a round face; and denotes one that is a great Projecter, aims at high things, but is often disappointed, and seldom brings his Designs to pass.  
The Hour of Venus is very propitious and fortunate, but it is better by night than day; especially Midday, for then the Sun covers it: He that is born in this hour hath fair hair, soft eyes, a little forehead, and round beard; very complaisant in his carriage, mighty amorous, and a great Admirer of Women, much addicted to singing and gaming; and spends his Money in courting and treating of the Female Sex.  
The Hour of Mercury is very good, but chief from the beginning to the middle: He that is born in th●s hour has a stature inclining to tallness, a sharp long face, long eyes, and a long nose, his forehead narrow, l●ng beard, and thin hair, long arms, and l●ng fingers; of a good disposition, and an obliging temper; much given to reading, and very desirous of Knowledge, delighting to be among Books. Very eloquent in his speech; and yet addicted to lying; and if he be poor, he is commonly light fingered.  
The Hour of the Moon is both good and evil, according to the Day: For from the four●h to the 17th it is good to those that are born under it; but from the 17th to the 20th, it is counted unfortunate to be born under it; and from the 20th to the 27th, very unhappy: He that is born in the hour of the Moon, (especially upon her own Day) shall be pale faced, of a thin meager visage, with hollow eyes, and of a middle statu●e: He appears very courteous and obliging, but is very crafty and deceitful; se●●ing about many things, but so incon●●aut and variable in his humour, that he is presently off them again, and setting about something else; insomuch that what he cries up one hour, he shall as much cry down again the next: He is also very malicious, and will never forget an affront once offered him: His Constitution is Phlegmatic.  
Thus have I given the Reader the Judgement of the Ancients upon the Planetary Hours; and what they portend to those that are born under them; by which a Person comparing himself with what is here se● down, may easily know under what Planet he was born.   

XVIII. Of the Signification of the Seven Planets with respect to Man's Body.  
BEfore I conclude my Discourse of the Seven Planets, their Nature and Influences, I shall give you an Accounted of the Signification of them, as they respect the several Parts of Man's Body, and the Diseases that they govern, that proper Remedies may be applied accordingly:  
Saturn governs the right Ear, the Bladder and the Bones; and the Diseases he governs are Quartan Agues, Cancers, Black Choler, Rheums, Coughs, Palsies, Looseness of the Body, etc.  
Jupiter governs the Lungs, Ribs, Liver, Seeds, Arteries, and the left Ear; and the Diseases incident to them, are Pleurisies, Appoplexes, and such as proceed from too great a quantity of Blood, or from Wind in any part of the Body.  
Mars governs the Gall, the Veins, and the Reins, and their Distempers; which are Fevers, Yellow-jaundice, Madness, Choler, Carbuncles; Mars also governs the Stones and Privy-members of Man and Woman in part.  
The Sun governs the Eyes, Heart, and the right Side; and the Diseases relating to them; such as Colds, especially in the Stomach and Liver, Fluxes in the Eyes, Cramp, Headache, etc.  
Venus governs the Liver, Loins, Matrix Paps and Throat; the Diseases whereof are weakness in the Body and Members, Catarrhs, French-pox, etc.  
Mercury governs the Brains, Thoughts, Memory, Speech, and Tongue; and also the Distempers incident thereto, as Falling-sickness, Madness, Coughs, Hoarseness, Stammering, Pthisick and Rheums.  
The Moon governs the left Eye of a Man, and the right Eye of a Woman, also the Stomach, Belly, and the left Side; and the Diseases proper to them, which are Dropsies, Palsies, Rotten Coughs, Surfeits, Worms in Children; King's Evil, Falling-sickness, Convulsion-fits, Dimness of Sight, Smallpox and Measles.  
Here note, That in all Distempers, before you apply any thing to the Patient, it is proper and necessary to consult the Motions and Positions of the Planets; and when by the Table of Planetary Hours before recited, you know what Planet rules; you must in the next place consider the nature of that Planet, as whether it be fierce and cruel, as Mars; or friendly and benevolent, as Jupiter; also whether it be cold and moist, or hot and dry; and what is the predominant Complexion, whether Sanguine, Chollar, Phlegm, or Melancholy; as also what Member of the Body it governs, and what Disease is under its Power: these things being diligently ●eigh'd and considered, will furnish the Ingenious Physician with ground sufficient to make a Judgement of the true Nature of the Disease, whereby he may apply those Suitable and Proper Remedies, that shall best conflict with, and be most prevalent against the Distemper: Whereas the want of a due Consideration of these Matters, causes the Physician oftentimes to administer those Medicines that rather kill then cure; tho' those very Medicines may be good against the same Disease, to a Patient under other Circumstances, and falling Sick under a different Position of the Signs and Planets.   

XIX. An Abstract of the Art of Physiognomy; being a Judgement upon the several Parts of Man's Body; and thereby showing, his Nature, Disposition, and Fortune; according to Gater, Arcaphan, and Albuas.  

First, Of the Head.  
THe Head is the principal Part of Man, being the Receptacle of the Brain, which is the Seat of Wisdom and Understanding; and the Ancients have made a Judgement of a Man's Wit or Wisdom, according to the Form or Figure of the Head; As thus: A large Head signifies a Person stupid and dull of Apprehension; also a very ●mall Head signifies the same; but a Head ●f a Man being neither great nor small, is ●he Prognostic of a Wiseman; for all Extremes are irregular, and a Deviation from Nature; and Experience has made it manifest, that a great Head and small Members, do always produce much Indiscretion and Fol●y, either in Man or Woman: But we must also consider the several parts of the Head.

King Pharaoh's Butler being cast into Prison by the King, dreamt in the Night, and saw a Vine with three Branches, which by degrees flourished; and after it had blossomed, the ripe Grapes appeared, and he seemed to have the King's Cup in his Hand, pressing the Grapes, and straining out the Wine, which overflowed, the Cup he presented to the King. Joseph being then in the same Prison, interpreted this Dream and told the Butler, that the three Branches were the three Days that he was still to remain in Prison; which time being expired, the King, mindful of him, re-established him in his Office, to serve him as before; which had a true Event.  
At the same time the King's Baker, who was then a Prisoner also, dreamed, That he carried three Baskets of Meal upon his Head; and that in the uppermost Basket there were all Sorts of Viands that could be prepared by the Baker's Art, and that the Birds eat of it. Joseph interpreted his Dream also; and told him, That the three Baskets were three Days, at the end whereof, the King would cause the poor Baker ●o be hanged. And this was accordingly fulfilled.  
Now about a Year after, King Pharaoh dreamed, that he was standing near a River, out of which there came seven well-favoured and fat Kine, which were devoured ●y seven others, meager and ●●l-feavour'd: The same Night he dreamed again, That ●e saw seven full Ears of Corn, which were swallowed up by seven other dry and withered Ears. Joseph interpreted this Dream ●hus: That the seven sat Kine, and the ●even full Ears of Corn signified seven Years of Plenty in the Kingdom of Aegppt; and the seven meager Kine, and dry withered Ears of Corn, did denote seven Years of Dearth and Famine, during which time they should consume all that was gathered up in the seven Years of Plenty. Which Interpretation was afterwards verified by the Event.  
Vespasian being with the Emperor Nero in the Island of Achaia, saw in a Dream an● unknown Person, who acquainted him, that his good Fortune would commence, when Nero should have a Tooth drawn: The first Person Vespasian met, after he was awake, coming out of his Chamber, was a Chirurgeon, that told him he came just at that time from drawing one of Nero's Teeth Shortly after Nero died, and Galba also who succeeded him; and Vespasian making his Advantage of the Dissension between Otho and Vitellius, was created Emperor.  
Simonides the Poet having interred a dea● Corpse which he found on the Seashore the Night after he dreamed, that that sam● Body appeared to him, and advised him no● to venture to Sea; upon which he remained on Shoar; and his Associates setting sai● in order to a Voyage, unfortunately perished by a Tempest.  
Septimus Severus dreamed, that he saw the Emperor Pertinax break his Neck by a fall, and that his Horse made towards him, whereupon he mounted. Which fell out truly, Severus being chosen Emperor in his place.  
The Emperor Constantine leading an Army which he had raised against Maxentius, saw in a Dream, a beaming and resplendent Cross; and dreamt, that he heard a Voice which told him, That in that Sign he should overcome his Enemies; whereupon he caused a Cross adorned with Gold and precious Stones, to be carried on the Day of the Battle, and committed the Custody of it to the most valiant Men in his Army; and under these happy Presages, he totally defeated the Army of Maxentius, who was slain upon the place.  
Amilcar the Carthaginian General, besieging a Town in Sicily, dreamt he heard a Voice that assured him, he should Sup in the Town to morrow: This Dream wrought so effectually with Amilcar, that he believed he should take the Town that Day; and to that end, having given order to his Soldiers for a General Assault, a Dissension arose among the variety of Nations that made up the Composition of his Army; of which the Town taking an advantage, sallied out; and attacking that place where Amilcar then was, took him Prisoner, and conducted him into their Town; where he supped according to his Dream, but contrary to his Expectation.  
By what has been related, the Reader may see what Notices of future things Men oftentimes receive in their Dreams, and therefore the foregoing Alphabetical Collection of them, may be very profitable, and of great use to those that are curious Observers of them.

THE Country-man's Kallendar: Containing His Daily PRACTICE.  
A Year is the principal Part of Time, by which not only the Ages of Men and of other things, but also the times of many Actions in the World (their beginnings, progress, continuance and intervals) are measured: And is a Periodical Revolution of a great Circle of Months and Days, in which the four Seasons of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, are, after one Revolution of the Sun, ordained to ●eturn to their Courses.  
But there are divers sorts of Years, as saith ●he Ancients, according to divers Nations, which ●re different from one another, reduced to the Rule of the Celestial Motions: The Year is divided into Astronomical and Political.  
The Astronomical Year is also two fold; that Solar and Lunar.  
The Solar Year is the time in which the Sun, by ●is proper Motion departing from one Point of the Ecliptic, returns to the same again. And this is called either Natural or Sydrial.  
1. The Natural or Tropical Year, is the Space of Time in which the Sun departing from out of the Tropical, Equinoctial or Solstitial Points, and running through the Ecliptic, returneth to the same again.  
This Natural or Tropical Year is also two fold, mean or equal, and true, called also inequal.  
The mean or equal Tropical Year, contains 365 Days, 5 Hours, 49 Minutes, 15 Seconds.  
The true or inequal Tropical Year, is sometimes more, and sometimes less, there the equal, by 6 or 7 Minutes; so it increaseth or decreaseth according to the swift or slow Progress of the Equinoctial or Solstitical Points.  
2. The Syderial Year, is the Space of Time in which the Sun returns to the same Star from whence he departed; and is 365 Days, 6 Hours, 9 Minutes; but in the Seconds there is a difference among Authors.  
Now the Lunar Year, is likewise two fold; the Common, which is 12 Moons, or 354 Days, 8 Hours, etc. The Embalismal, which is 13 Moons or Lunations containing 383 Days, 21 Hours, etc.  
The Political or Civil Years, be such as be commonly used for the Distinction of Times; wherein respect is had either to the Motion of the Sun or Moon only, or to them both together, according to the Custom of divers Nations.  
The Julian, or old Roman Year consisting of 365 Days and six Hours: I his Julian Account, or Year, is used by the English, Muscovites, Syrians, Abassines, and Ethiopians, tho' the Name of their Months differ. It is held to begin (with the Vulgar) on the first of January: Which is therefore called New-year's Day: But, according to the State Accounts, the Year gins not till the 25th Day of March, at which time they altar the Date of the Year: As for Example: The first Day of January next will be reckoned the first Day of the Year 1698; but because the State Account gins not till the 25th of March, they commonly writ the Date double, thus 1697/8 from the 1st of January to the 25th of March; after which they writ only 1698.  
The Gregorian or new Roman Year, is so called, because mended by Pope Gregory the 13th, consists of 365 Days, 5 Hours, 49 Minutes, and 12 Seconds: It gins on our 22d of December, being 10 Days before the Julian: And is received in all Countries owning the Authority of the See of Rome, and in some Prostant Countries also, as in the six or seven Provinces, Vtretcht keeping the Julian Account.  

Of Months.  
The Months by which we measure the Year, are of two ●orts, viz. Astronomical and Political, and each hath several Divisions: Astronomical or Natural, are according to the Motion of the Sun and Moon; and be either Solar or Lunar; the Solar, are the Spans of Time in which the Sun runs through a twelfth part of the Zodiac, of which there are two sorts, mean, or equal; true, or unequal: An equal Solar Month is the Time in which the Sun ●●n by his mean Motion goeth a twelfth part of the Zodiac, and is always 30 Days, 10 Hours, 29 Minutes, 6 Seconds, etc. But the true, or apparent, is according to the true Motion of the Sun through the Zodiac; for when he is in or near his Apogeon, the Months' are longer; but when he is in or near his Perigeon they are shorter. Lunar Months are referred to the Moon's Motion, and are chief three fold, viz. First, Periodical, which is the Space of Time in which the Moon by her mean Motion goeth through the Zodiac, and is about 27 Days, 8 Hours. Secondly, Synodical, which is the Space of Time from one Conjunction to another, being performed according to the Moon's mean Motion in 29 Days, 12 Hours, 44 Minutes, and about 4 Seconds; but according to the Moon's true Motion, it is sometimes greater or lesser, by about 12 Hours. Thirdly, The Month of Illumination or Apparition, is said to be 28 Days, or 4 Weeks, it being the longest time that the Moon is to be seen between Change and Change. Lastly, The Political Months are civil and usual, as every Nation best pleaseth; which differ both in Proportion and Name.   

Of Days and Hours.  
Days are either Natural or Artificial: A Day Natural, is one entire Revolution of the Sun about the Earth, which is performed in 24 Hours, containing both Day and Night: And this Day the English begin at Midnight; but the Astronomers begin it at Midday, or Noon. An Artificial Day is from Sunrising to Sunsetting: differs in length of equal Hours, according to the Sun's place in the Zodiac, and Latitude of the Region. But in unequal Hours, (called Planetaty Hours) there are 12, so that one Hour is the 12th part of a Day, be it long or short, and the Hours that make an Artificial Day, are from 6 to 6; that is, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.  
I shall now give some brief Directions for the Knowledge of the Wether.   

Signs of Fair Wether.  
The Sun rising bright and clear; if he drive the Clouds before him into the West. If at his Rising there appears a Circle about him, and it vanisheth equally away. If the Sun set Red. If the Moon be clear three Days after the Change, or three Days before the Full. If the Clouds appear with yellow Edges. A cloudy Sky, clearing against the Wind. The Rainbow after Rain, appearing meanly Red. Mists coming down from the Hills, and settling in the Valleys; or white Mists rising from the Waters in the Evening.

Clouds flying swift in the Air. Fire burning pale or huzzing. Ravenes' clapping themselves with their Wings. The high flying of the Hern. Crying of Swine. The Herb Treefoil looking rough.   

Of the Rainbow.  
The Rainbow is that Bow which the Almighty was pleased to place in the Firmament, as a Token to Noah that he would drown the Earth no more: But as to the natural Cause of it, it is caused by the Sunbeams striking upon a hollow Cloud, when its Edge is repelled and driven back against the Sun; and thus ariseth variety of Colours by the mixing of Clouds, Air, and fiery Light to gether; therefore it is seen in Opposition to the Sun, for the most part in an Evening.   

Of Rain.  
The Ancients describe Rain to be a cold and earthly Vapour, or Humour exhaled from the Earth and Waters by the Beams of the Sun, and carried into the middle Region of the Air, whereby the Extremity of the Cold, it is thickened into the Body of a Cloud; and afterwards being dissolved through an accession of Heat, it falleth upon the Earth: And this is done by God's Power, and at his Appointment, as the Prophet Amos witnesseth, Amos 4. 7. and 96.   

Of Hail.  
Hail is nothing but Rain congealed into Ice by the coldness of the Air, freezing the Drops after the dissolving of the Cloud; and the higher it comes, and the longer it tarries in the Air, the rounder and lesser it is: We have sometimes great showers of Hail in the heat of Summer after a Thunderclap; which doth manifest, that the Air at that time is extreme cold, thus to congeal the Water therein, notwithstanding the heat then upon the Earth.   

Of Snow.  
Snow (as say the Ancients) is of the same humour that Hail is, but only of loser parts; and therefore in the Summertime it is melted into Rain before it cometh down.   

Of Frost and Dew.  
In the Daytime, through the heat of the Sun, there is a cold and moist Vapour drawn up a little from the Earth; which after the setting of the Sun descends upon the Earth again, and is called Dew; but if by the sharpness of the Air it be congealed, it is called Frost; and therefore in hot Seasons, and windy Wether, Dews are not so frequent, nor so much, as after a calm and clear Night: For when frosts happen, they dry up Wet and Moisture; for the Ice being melted, the Water is proportionably less.   

Of the Wind.  
Wind is said to be an Exhalation hot and dry; engendered in the Bowels of the Earth; and being gotten out, is carried side-long upon the face of the Earth, and cannot mount upwards above the middle Region of the Air, which by reason of its cold doth beat it back; so as by such strife, and by meeting other Exhalations rising, its motion is forced to be rather round than right in its 〈◊〉; and this makes it a Whirl-puff, or Whirlwind, which oftentimes by its violence carrieth many things with it from place to place, etc.   

Of Earthquakes.  
The Ancients affirm, That the cause of Earthquakes is plenty of Winds gotten and confined within the Bowels of the Earth, which in striving to break forth, shaking, or sometimes a cleaving of the Earth; and thereby the destruction of many People, and ruin of whole Towns and Cities, as the sad fate of Sicily has but lately shown us, by sinking of Mountains, and raising of Valleys. But tho' what I have said may be the Natural Cause of Earthquakes, yet doubtless the Final Cause is God's Anger against a provoking sinful People; which ought to make all our Hearts to tremble, lest God for our sins should cause the Earth under us to do so.   

Of Thunder and Lightning.  
Thunder and Lightning is occasioned by an Exhalation hot and dry, and being carried up into the middle Region of the Air, and there in closed in the Body of a Cloud: Now these two Contrarities being thus shut or enclosed in one place together, they fall at variance, whereby the Water and Fire agree not until they have broken through, so that Fire and Water fly out of the Clouds, the breaking whereof making that Noise which we call Thunder, and the Fire is the Lightning; which is first seen, tho' the Thundercrack be first given; because our sight is quicker than our hearing: For the sooner the Thunder is heard after the Lightning is seen, the nearer it is to us.   

Of the Four Quarters of the Year; and, First of the Spring.  
The Spring, or Vernal Quarter, gins when the Sun enters into the Ram, or Aries, (which is with us on the ninth day of March, Astronomically) thereby making the Days and Nights equal to all the World, the Sun then rising due East, and setting due West. This Quarter continues while the Sun goes through Aries, Taurus, and Gemini.  
This Quarter is naturally hot and moist; the most temperate in all the Year, being both pleasant and healthful, and most convenient for the taking of Physic, either to remove Cronical Distempers, or to prevent them for time to come.   

II. Of the Summer.  
The Summer, or Estival Quarter gins when the Sun touches the first minute of Cancer, or the Crabb, thereby making the longest Days, and shortest Nights, to those that dwell on the North side of the Equinox, which usually happeneth upon the 11th of June; after which the Days dedrease. This Quarter continues till the Sun hath gone through Cancer, Leo and Virgo.  
This Quarter is hot and dry; for then the Sun with us in his full height and strength, bringing to persection the Productions of the Earth, the time of gathering in the Harvest being chief in the last Month of this Quarter.   

III. Of the Autumnal Quarter.  
The Autumnal Quarter gins when the Sun is said to touch the first minute of Libra, or the Balance, thereby making the Days and Nights again of equal length, which is usually upon the 12th day of September, for then likewise the Sun riseth due East, and sets due West. This Quarter continues while the Sun goes through Libra, Scorpio and Sagitary.  
This Quarter is generally held to be cold and ●lry, tho' it often proves very moist and wet; for the Sun now withdraws his heat, and thereby causeth the falling of the Leaves from the Trees, whence this Quarter is also called the ●all of the Leaf.   

iv Of Winter.  
The Winter or Hyemnal Quarter gins when ●he Sun touches the first minute of the Tropical sign Capricorn, which is for the most part about ●he 11th of December, thereby making the short●●t Days and longest Nights, to those that dwell ●● the North side of the Equinoctial, and the contrary to those that dwell on the Southside. This Quarter continues while the Sun makes his progress through Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.  
This Quarter is counted cold and moist, being directly opposite to Summer: for now the Fields ●ok barren, and the Trees naked.
