A f •) A THEATER OF THE PLANETARY HOVRES FOR ALL THE DAYES OF THE YEARE» Is divine Majeftic out of the inevacuabic fource of his vncreated wifedome,by his infinite providence, in the Creation of this great vni- vcrfe, did cftablifh all the creatures for his glory, and the benefit of men. In fa much that the earth, his foo ftoole, embellifhed with fo many bcautifull creatures, doth abound in plants, hearbs, trees, fecdes, barkes, woods, gummes, iuiccs, mettalls, raincralls, and demy- mineralls. All, asMsyfes faith in the firfl ofhis Cenefis, ijs fnbinde adprofuljandos motbos vtert- tur ab Adam propagatafoboleSj That Adams nie might vfe them to preferue health: And the living creatures in fo many fcverall kindes have peopled the Sea, filled the ayre, and inhabited the earth vnder the government of men,rojwhoni, as (i) as to their Soveraignes, they ought to be as Tub- jeded; and the heavens,repleniflicd with a thou- fand glirtcring lights, the cover of this lower World, by their motions and light, being govcr- nedby thecommandementot thefupreamc mo- ver, lend downe their powers on men , by in- telligenccs moving; the opinions offacredTheo. logians, as Ricbardm in his fccond bookc, Art. . and aifo Saint Bomvcnture, and Saint waSf who will, that the higheft or Empyreal] hea- ven , doth infufe fome etfcds into our lower earth. It is moftcertainethat the fuprcame Crea- tor hath ordained the heavens, as all the other creatures, notonely for mens prefent benefit, but for that to come; that if the heavens did not in- fufeonvs, it were enough to deftroy that mod great principle of our Religion. And Damaf. in his 3. booke, Chap. 22. faith in this behalfe, Im- pofibiU ejl aliquant fubflantiam expertem e(Je naturali operatione, vfui homimm conferente, ergo e^c. It is impoffible, that any fubftancc can bee voyde of fome naturali operation, conducing to the profit of men, therefore &c. The Theologians gather from the heavens three forts of influences appropriated to the three faculties of ourlmmortall foule; The ftarric hea- yen, wi-^h all the firftand wandring ftarrcs,powrc their influences into the Vegetative ; the Em- pyreall into the Reafonablc; and the Chriftalinc, or firft mover, iufufeinto the Scnfitivcj never- theleiTe, none of thefe influences can force our li- berty, (i) berty, although the heavens fend them the one by their motions, the others by their light, and the others by their vertue; So theEmpyreall heaven, without moving its ielfe, fendeth downc its vertue here bdowe, notwithftanding that it be dift-m' from vs fb farre, that, according to Be' dA in his booke, De imagme m mdiSvom the earth to the firmament, there are three hundreth thou- find,one hundreth and twenty five leagues. And from that, to theEmpyreall heaven, are, ten hun- dreth millions of leagues: But to fiiy truth (it it be not by revelation from God) no certainemea- furecanbe determined. I conclude, Amajoread minm, from the greater to the le/fer, that, fincc the influences doc defccnd from fuch a height, by a more ftrong reafon may they come from the heavens, that are neere vs j all wh;ch influences are not in the heavens by their nature, but by their efFe<51:s, as the Aftroiogians fay ; IfSaturne becr^lde, thecaufeproceedeth from his motion, which is flowe, and lingring. and, for that he is fb farre diflantfrom vs, and do h not end his courfe but in thirty yeares, according to the fame BedA: Now, the other planets, that are of mare fpeedy motion, and doe (as it were) with a fwifc, and ra- pid courfe,and in little time, make their Revolu- tion, are hot, and dry ; as Sd, and MArs: But whatavaileth itvsto bring fo farre'f tcht rea- fons 1 Since that, fo necce vs, thefc eftl ifts are de- dared vnto vs fo evidently, in the foure ele- meats, in the living creatures, in the plants, in B the ("4) the fea, in thcayre, in cutting, fawing,gathering, grafting, and over all the creamrcs: So that if man know not the rcafon of ihtfe things, hee ought to feeke it in the myracles of nature. To the end then, that every one may the better know, how to make vfe of thcfe operations, even in matter of Phyfick, they miiftchule thcdaycs, the houres, the plants , vnder fuch favourable afpcds, and agreeable influences of the Starrcs, as can, by their agreeable vertue, give health vn- to the ficke • for the Planets and fixed Starrcs, doe caufe all infirmities : wherefore they muff chufc the Planet,that is encmie to that Planet that brought forth that cvill j and fo, by the contrary cfft <5^, put it away and diffolue it.

Moreover, that the very hcarbs, flowers, rootes, and feeds, may have a fingular vertue, and quality to remove diieafcs, they are to be gathered according to the feveiall figncs of the Zodiack, becaufe fo they doe more rpeedily and fuccesfully worke on difeafes. For which caufc, frft, I have thought good to € t downe the Plan ts in order, and the infirmi- tics that are caufcd by them. Secondly, the certainc houre of the Sunnes rifing every day in the yearc, to the end that you may (5) may eafily finde out the houre wherein you arc to gather or take the plants, ftoncs, or animals, to cure your infirmities. Thirdly, I haue fet downe too, the vnequall Planetary houre, as well of the day as of the night, whereby you may know certainly what Planet lhall governe. Fourthly, you have in like order, the friend- Ihip, and enmity of the Planets; which are ene- mies amongfi them j that you may the more ea- filyfinde the Planet, enemie to it that fliall cauft thedifcafe, and in the fame houre that is govcr- ned by it, the infirmity may be cured.
