Speculum ægrotorum. The sicke-mens glasse or, A plaine introduction wherby one may giue a true, and infallible iudgement, of the life or death of a sicke bodie, the originall cause of the griefe, how he is tormented and afflicted, what thinges are medicinable to the diseased person: and the day and houre in which he shall recouer, or surrender his vitall breath. Whereunto is annexed a treatise of the foure humors, and how they are ingendered and distributed in our humane bodies: with certaine and manifest signes to discerne of what complexion any man is: and the operation that eating, drinking rest and exercise, worketh in euery person: with certaine speciall preseruatiues for the eye-sight. Composed by Iohn Fage, student in phisicke, and practitioner in astrologie.

Of the significator of the sicke body.

IT hath beene an order and a custome (amongst the most excellentest and wisest Physitions) to choose the Moone for the principall significatrix of the sicke person, and according vnto her motion, scituation, and configuration (with other Plannets) haue gi∣uen iudgment on the increasing, mittigation, and alteration of the disease.

For Hippocrates (in principio Prognosticorum) speaketh of the Moone, and sayth in this manner. There is a certaine Starre of heauen on which a Phisition must take heed and mark, the puruei∣ance thereof is wonderfull and dreadfull. Also Galen (in commento de diebus criticis) saith: a Phisition must take heed & aduise himselfe of a certaine thing that fayleth not, neither deceiueth, (which the A∣stronomers of Aegipt taught) that is to say, when the body of the Moone is ioyned with fortunate starres, dreadful and fearfull sick∣nesse commeth to good end. Likewise Astronomers say, that a∣mong all the other plannets the Moone (in ruling) hath most power and maistry of mens bodies: for as Ptolomeus saith (in Libro de iu∣dicijs Astrorum) vnder the Moon is contained, sicknes, losse, feare, harme, and domage: therfore about the alteration of mans body, the Moone worketh most principally: and not with out good cause, for as Astronomers affirme, she hath dominion and goernment of all liquid & moist substances, as the water, oyle, & sappe of trées, &c, As the thrice learned Clark Doctor Dee, in the 103. Apkorisme of his Booke intituled Libro de quibusdā naturae virtutibus saith thus Luna potentissima est humidarum rerum moderatrix, humidatis{que} ex∣cicatrix & effectrix. So we may no lesse assure our selues that she hath superiority and predomination on the fours humors, Choler, Blood, Fleame and Melancholy, which in substance are nought else but humedious and vaporatiue, although they differ in quality

Then as Physitions doe hold the opinion that all the infirmities which naturally happen to any person (and not by any mischance orsodaine accident) doth proceede and come by the distemperance of those foure Humors; so we may very well conclude, that if the su∣perficies or head of a Fountaine, doth alter his accustomarie course of running, then the adiacienticall or belonging streames must needs differ either in quality or in quantity. So likewise the Moone being pasiua qualitatis collecteth and retaineth the good or euill in∣fluence of that plannet to whome she is adioyned or applyeth: as Hermes saith (in his Iatromethematikes) Luna vero stellae (sine beni∣fica siue malifica fuerit) vtri se applicuerit, illi suffragabiter. And be∣cause her orbe is nearest vnto the earth, sendeth vs the vertue and impression of the other Plannets: and so causeth the mutabillitie and alteration of mens bodies, to good or euill, according to the na∣ture of that Plannet with whome she is adioyned or configurated, and the part of the Zodiake wherein she is scituated: For the ex∣pert Physition must obserue and marke how she passeth through the 12. signes, and thereof shall vnderstand much of the alteration of the disease, by a certaine difference and distance of part of the Zodiake from the degree the Moone was in, at the instant when the sicke person was first bedride, or tooke his bed, and when the Moone commeth thereunto, that day they shall call critticall, iudi∣ciall or mortall according to the space or distance it differeth from the degree of the Zodiake that the Moone possessed when the par∣tie tooke his bed: which some men (deceiuing them-selues) haue reckoned and numbred alwaies by a certaine difference of dayes, from the time the party fell sicke, calling the second and fift, mortal dayes, the fourth a iudiciall or shewing day, and the 7. and 14. crit∣ticall dayes, or such like: which is an open and manifest error, for seeing the Moon (hauing an unequall motion) commeth sometimes to the afore said parts of the Zodiake a day sooner and othertimes a day later: it is vnpossible (for he that accounteth by an euen num∣ber of dayes) to finde out the true Critticall, Mortall, or Iudiciall dayes▪ therefore for the better avoyding of this apparant error, I haue heers•• 〈◊〉〈◊〉 annexeda very necessary Table, playnely expressing those aforesaid times, as followeth.

The vse of this Table.

FOr euerie signe and degree the Moone is in, there is 16. columbes in the table (caractered with their pro∣per figures of Algorisme, with these letters S. and D. signifying signes & degrees) in which the mortall, iu∣diciall and criticall daies, doth happen in: being no∣ted at the head of the Table thus: Mort: Daies, Iu∣dic: daies & Critic: daies. The vse of this Table is thus: The day and howre knowne in which the sicke person tooke his Bed, you must search the signe and the degrée the Moone is in (which being found) entring into the Table (in the vttermoste columbe on the left hand) intituled the partie falling sicke, (vnder the carracter of Luna) you shall finde against the signe and degree the Moone is in, all the Cri∣tical, Iudiciall, and Mortall daies in their proper Columbes (noted at the head of the Table) during the space of time, the Moone passeth through the whole Zodiack or signifier, to which aforesaid places, when she cōmeth (during the continuance of y^e sicknes) then shall be the true Criticall, Iudicial and Mortal daies, as you shall see them superscribed at the head of the Columbe.

An example.

The first day of May 1605. Acertaine man sickned and tooke his bed, at 6. of the clock in the afternoone, the Moone being then in the 12. degr. of Pisces, now I desire to know the Critical, Iudiciall and Mortal daies (of that person) then entring into the Table in the vt∣termost columbe on the left hand, vnder the caracter of the moone in Pisces, ouer against the 12. deg. in the nextcolumbe, I find the 7. degree of Aries, to which when the Moone commeth is a mortall day: & in the third columbe, I finde the 27. degree of Aries, to which part of the Zodiacke when the Moone commeth, is a Iudiciall day In the fourth columbe, I finde the 22. degree of Taurus, which is a mortall time, and in the fift columbe, I finde the 12. of Gemini, to

which place when the Moone commeth, that is a Criticall day, & so of the rest vntill the Moone hath perambulated through the whole Zodiack, & if the diseases cease not in y^e meane while, after you haue gone through the 16. Columbes, you must begin againe as you did before: Note that the time the person taketh his bed, is the first cri∣ticall time.

Of the Aspects of the Moone with the Planets.

IF you desire to know with what Planets the Moone is configu∣rated or adioyned, you must learne what day and houre the sicke body first tooke his bed, or lay downe by meanes of the rage of the disease: except the sicknesse came to him at that time, when he was already in his bed for then you shall obserue the time in which the disease began to torment him: which being exactly knowne, you must calculate the motion of the Moone for the time the person fell sicke, considering that she is ioyned and applyeth vnto a Plannet, two manner of wayes, that is to say either corporally, or by the as∣pect of the Semidiameters of their bodyes called applycation.

Corporall Coniunction is when the Moone is in the same signe and degrée another Planet is, but the Moone is said to be radiatio∣nally ioyned to a Planet, when her body toucheth his Semidia∣meter.

Likewise the Moone is aspected and beheld of a Plannet two manner of wayes.

The one is called a perfect aspect as when there is 60 degrées be∣twéene the centure of the Moone and another Plannet, that is sayd to be a true Sextile aspect.

Or when the body of the Moone is distant from another Plan∣net 90. degrées, is called a perfect Quartile aspect.

Or when the Moone is elonged iust 120 degrées from another Plannet, the Moone is said to beholde that Plannet, with a 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Trine aspect. And if the centure of the moone be distant 180 〈◊〉〈◊〉 from y^e body of another Plannet, y^t is named a perfect Opposition.

The other is an vnperfect aspect called applycation, as when a Plannet is certeine degrées different from a true aspect, onely 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in the Semidiameter of his body.

The Semidiameter or halfe the beames of	♄ ♃ ♂ ☉ ♀ ☿ ☽	Degrées.
9. 9 8. 15. 8. 7. 12.

So that Saturne and Iupiter extend their forces but to 9. degrées Mars vnto 8. Sol vnto 15. Venus and Mercury almoste vnto 8. Lu∣na vnto 12. for if the bodie of the Moone or her aspect commeth within the Semidiameter of any Plannet, shee taketh or receiueth the influence of that Plannet (good or euill) to whome she is so ioy∣ned or applyeth.

Example.

Suppose the Moone be in the fourth degree of Aquarius, and Saturne, in the 11. degree of the said signe, then should the Moone apply to Saturne, for as much as her bodie is within the Semidia∣meter of his beames. Or if the moone were in the 10. degree of Taurus and Mars, in the 16. degree of Leo, then shee should behold Mars with a Quartile aspect.

But if the Moone were in the 20. degree of Capricornus and Sa∣turne in the 8. degree of Libra, then should the Moone be free from the Quartile of Saturne, for because his maliciousnesse extendeth no farther then the semidiameter of his beames (which is but 9. degr.) and their distance from a true aspect is 12. degr. yet notwithstan∣ding the ill fortunes doth afflict the sick person, when they adioyne or aspect the beames of the Moone, with their Semidiameter (but not intercidentically) for the farther the Moone is from their con∣iunction or aspect, the lesse they torment the diseased: and contrarily the fortunes (Iupiter and Venus) the nearer their bodies or Aspect approacheth to the moone, the more they intermeddle their vertues, and the sooner mittigateth the sicke mans paines.

Note that of the Aspectes the Quartile and Opposition are haie∣full and maleuolous Aspects, especially the Opposition.

And the Sextile and Trine aspects are fauourable and friendly aspects, chiefly the Trine.

The Conjunction is variable, for it is very good with good Pla∣nets, and extreame euill with ill.

Also sometimes it shall be necessarie to know the latitude of the Planets.

To know whether the sicke person shall liue or die.

IF the moone (at the day and houre the sicke tooke first his bed,) bee free from the Coniunction, Quartile, or Opposition aspect of Saturne and Mars, the diseased person shal not depart by meanes of

that sicknesse (especiallye if Iupiter or Venus regarde the Moone with Coniunction, Sextile, or Trine aspects) for then the sicke shall soone recouer his health, and so much the rather if the Moone be free from combustion, and augmenting in light and motion. Also the head of the Dragon is of the nature of y^e fortunes (Iupiter & Ve∣nus) but not so effectuall in operation.

But contrarywise, if the Moone be afflicted eyther by the Con∣iunction, Quartile or Opposition of y^e ill fortunes (Saturne & Mars) the sicke shal die, chiefly if Iupiter or Venus doe not assist the moone, or if she be combust and decreasing in light and motion.

Also the Dragons taile is of the nature of the ill fortunes, but of himselfe hath not the interficient force of Saturne or Mars, for as much as it is a line and not a Starre.

Likewise if the moone be in the via combusta, which is from the middest of Libra vntill the middest of Scorpio, or vnder the Sunne beames and decreasing in light or motion, and applying to Saturne and Mars, eyther by coniunction or any aspect (chiefly by Quartile or Opposition aspect, although their semidiameters onely beholde the semibeames of the moone) it threatneth death.

An example.

A certaine man fell sicke and tooke his bed, the mooone beeing three degrees in Scorpio (decreasing in light and motion) Mars 13. degrees in Libra, and Saturne 27. degrees in Sagitarius, and depar∣ted when the moone came to the 13. degres of Capricornus.

To know the times in which the sicke person shall feele ease of his paine, or recouer his health.

HAuing found by the Doctrine aforesaid, that the sicke person shall not departe, then as often as the moone méeteth with•••••• bodie or aspect of the fortunes, (Iupiter or Venus) during the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of the disease, at that instant the sicke person shall bee 〈…〉〈…〉 eased of his dolorous paines: the ill fortunes the contrari••, 〈…〉〈…〉 first obuiating or meeting of Luna with Iupiter or Venus (〈◊〉〈◊〉 a Criticall, Iudiciall, or Mortall day) the diseased person shall beg•••• to recouer his health.

An example.

Anno Dom. 1605. the 28. of May (about 7. of the 〈…〉〈…〉

the forenoone) a certaine friend of mine fell sicke in his Bed: th•…•… Moone being then in the 2. degr. of Pisc••s (decreasing) Mars 18. de∣grees in Gemini, Saturne. 23. degrees in Sagitarius, Iupiter 26. in Capricornus, and Venus 4. degrees in Gemini: Now for as much as I finde the Moone to be free from the interficient force of the ill fortunes, I iudge the sicke shall not depart: yet he was grieuously tormented and afflicted, for because the hatefull beames of Mars his Quartile aspect, was within the semidiameter of the Moone, & none of the fortunes did intermeddle their fauorable beames. And when the Moone came to the 19. deg. of Pisces (meeting the Opposition of furious Mars) he had a great and mighty fitte of sicknesse, almost absolutely depriuing sence and motion. Also he was sorely tormen∣ted when the Moone came to the 24. degree of Pisces, because she then beheld Saturne with a spitefull Quartile aspect, after that he be∣gan to amend, forasmuch as that was a mortall day, and Iupiter en∣uironed the Moone with a friendly Sextile aspect.

To knowe when and what time the sicke Person shall depart and be grieuously tormented.

NOW if you finde by the afliction of the Moone at the time the partie fell sicke, that he shall dye, then on the next mortall day that the Moone meeteth with eyther of the ill fortunes Saturne or Mars, by coniunctiō, Quartile, or Opposition (applying to thē either corporally or radiationally) the sick shall dye at that day & hours in which she commeth to the interficient point of the Zodiake: which agreeth to the saying of Ptholomeus in the 16. Aphorisme of his Cen∣tiloquiums wherein he saith we must behold the motion of y^e Moone as she passeth through the Criticall, Iudiciall, and Mortall daies, for if she be in them fortunate, it will fall out well: vnfortunate, the contrarie.

An example.

The 17. day of May (Anno Dom. 1605.) A man fell sicke about a 〈◊〉〈◊〉. of the clocke at night, the Moone being then in the 2. degree of Libra, Sol in the 6. degree of Gemini, Saturne in the 24. deg. of Sa∣gitarius, Iupiter in the 27. degree of Capricornus, Mars in the 10. degree of Gemini, and Venus in the 22. degree of Taurus: Now I 〈◊〉〈◊〉 the Moone aflicted by the hatefull Quartile aspect of Saturne,

being scituated within the maleuolous beames of the semidiameter of froward Saturne, wherby I iudge that the sicke shall depa••t: then entring into the Table of Criticall. Iudiciall and Mortall dayes, I finde the first mortall day to bee when the Moone commeth to the 27. deg. of the said signe of Libra, yet for asmuch as that degree is free from the oppression of the ill fortunes, I affirme that the sicke shall not dye at that time the Moone commeth to the said signe and degree: Therfore I seeke the next dying day, which is when the moone commeth to the 12. degree of Sagitarius, which being aflicted by the Opposition of Mars, collocated in the 14. degree of Gemini, I iudge he shall dye when the Moone commeth to the 12. degrée of Sagitarius: and so he did.

Note that during the time and permanence of the sicknesse, as often as the Moone meeteth the bodies or ill aspects of the distroy∣ers of nature, so often the diseased person shal feele and sustaine very sore panges.

Furthermore, some Astronomers affirme, that as long as the Moone decreaseth in motion, so long the griefe shal aggrauate, and waxe greater and greater.

But Hyppocrates (in Libro de Iudicijs infirmitat: secundum lu∣nam) saith thus, when the sick person taketh his bed you must con∣sider whether the moone departeth out of combustion, for then the sicknesse shall increase vntil Luna commeth to Opposition, by rea∣son that humors increase in mens bodies: and if shee be then with good Plannets, it falleth out well: with euill, the contrarie.

Of the cause of the disease.

TO knowe the cause of the disease, you must looke with what Plannet the moone is configurated or adioyned eyther by con∣iunction or aspect, and according to the nature and influence of that planet, iudge the disease that afflicted the moone.

The coniuction or any aspect of the ill fortunes doth afflict the Moone, and the Quartile, and Opposition of Sol and Mercury. Now if Sa••••rne or Mercury oppresse the Moone, the disease shalbe slowe and slacke, with lassitude and heauinesse of the limbes: inso∣much that the sicke shall scarce bee able to stirre his bodie, and the disease shall shew it selfe by little and little, by coldnes of the bodie,

with defluction, debillitie, and obstruction: causing the sicke to a∣wake out of his sleepe sodainly or by starts. &c.

The sicke person (also as Hermes saith) shall be sollitarie, silent, and fearefull, desiring heate, warme cloathes, and darknesse, with often sighing, and continual oscitation and yawning: the whole su∣perficies of the body will be colde and dry, and the pulses little and slow. The cure of such, is by thinges that disolue and binde.

But if the Moone (at that time the person fell sicke) bée afflicted by Mars or the Sunne, all the superficies and vpper parts of the body shall be in extreame heat as if they were incensed and kindled with fire. The party shall bée very prone and apt to anger, crying-out with scritches and fearce lookes, sometimes inordinately with ra∣uing and franticke fits: as when choller rauisheth vp into the head, perturbating the braine with violent heat &c.

Also they are very dry & thirsty, desiring colde drinke, with spit∣ting and aridity & drines of the tongue, with losse of appetite, and desire of meate: continually saporing and tasting with the tongue: The visage and face as red as fire, and all the body loaden with su∣perfluity; the pulses are little, pressed downe and inordinate. Blood∣letting vntill the fift day, and such things as are refrigeratiue, re∣percussiue, and auoid superfluity, are medicinable to the sicke persō.

Likewise Hermes saith, that they in whose decumbiture the moon was afflicted, of Sol or Mars, shall féele loathsomnesse in the mouth and stomacke, with paine in the heart, veines and artires. But con∣tinuall-Feauers, Plurisies, Exulceration, and inflamation of the Lungs, take their originall of Saturne and Mercury, afflicting the Moone in fierie signes.

The fortunes (Saturne and Venus) in my opinion do neuer vexe and torment the sicke body, although they beholde the Moone with hatefull aspects, or at the least wise, neuer in such sorte that they cause the sicke to take his bed: for séeing that they are adi••tors and restorers of nature, it is vnlikely that they should become enemies & destroyers thereof, although sometimes by accidents (as by hate∣full aspect) their friendship and familiaritie is refrained.

Of the effects that the Moone operateth and worketh in euerie signe when shee is afflicted by the ill fortunes.

☽. in ♈. of ♄. oppressed.

WHosoeuer taketh his bed, the moone being in the signe of Aries (chiefly decreasing in light and motion) and apply∣ing to Saturne or Mars (especially by Coniunction, Quartile or Op∣position) the disease shall take his originall and beginning of a colde cause, with heauines of the head, and debillation and weakenesse of the eyes, with distillation and falling downe of humors into the breast, by meanes of a rumeticke head, & stuffing of the throate and pipes with fleame and catarre: The vehemency & rage of the griefe shall chiefly extend it selfe by night, all the intrailes and inward parts shall be exceeding hot, but the superficies and extreame par••es shall shiner with colde, with languishing and sounding, and losse of appetite, and sweating in the dead of the night: the Pulses are weak and inordinate. Thinges that heate, mollifie, and lose the belly, doe cepresse the cause of the griefe, but bloud letting is vnprofitable.

And if the moone applie to none of the fortunes, but is within the Semediameter of the bodie of Saturne or Mars, or their ill aspectes, then on the next mortall day, in which the moone méeteth with Sa∣turne or Mars, the sicke shall departe: but if the moone be not with∣in the beames of Saturne and Mars, nor their malicious aspects (e∣specially increasing in light and motion, and applying to Iupiter or Venus) then on the next time that Luna meeteth with Iupiter or Venus (vpon a criticall day, &c.) The sicknesse shall abate, or at least wise, turne out of one disease into another. But if Mars like∣wise ob••iateth the moone in manner aforesaid, then the griefe shall be mortal and inuincible, for when the moone doth come to his dia∣meter, he shall die: after the opinion of Hermes.

☽ in ♈ of ♂ aflicted.

BUT hee that lyeth downe, the Moone being in Aries and ap∣plying to Mars or Sol, the griefe shal take his originall from the head, with pricking and aking in the pellices of the braine; those per∣sons shall be tormented with continuall Feauers, neither can they

take any rest or sleepe, except somtimes a little flumbring: Their mouth is hot with intollerable thirst, the tongue dry and troubled with heate, with callidity and drynesse of the brest, and inflamation of the Liuer, tending to a phrensy and alienation of minde. The pulses are sublated, high & inordinate: The helping and healing of those persons, is by letting of blood, and vsing of thinge•• that refri∣gerate and mittigate.

But if the Moone (especially decreasing in light and motion) be ei∣ther corporally or radiationally ioyned w^t Saturne or Mars, or their enuious aspects, then the sicke shall die: contrarily if the moone be•• free from their semidiameters both corporally & raditionally) chief∣lie augmenting in light and motion) and applying to Iupiter or Venus, then the sicke man shall recouer his health as aforesaid.

The ☽ in ♉, of ♄ oppressed.

IF the Moon (at the encreasing of the disease) runneth through the celestiall signe of Taurus, be afflicted by the diameter, Aspect, Quartile or Opposition of Saturne (chiefly slow in motion and de∣creasing) the sicknes shall proceed of much drinking, ebrosity or else repleation, with Feauers comming of obstruction, and ach of the precordiackes, and artires: with inflamation of the whole body, and exulceration of the lunges: the pulses are lofty, high and inor∣dinate; Blood letting and such things as open and disolue, profiteth.

And if the Moone bee ioyned to Saturne or Mars, or afflicted by their ill aspects (especially diminishing in light and motion) then when the Moone obuiateth or meeteth with Saturne or Mars (on a mortall day) the sicke person shall perrish.

But if she be free from their bodies or ill aspects (chiefly augmen∣ting in light and motion, and applying to the fortunes) then on the next criticall day &c. That the Moone concurreth with Iupiter or Venus, the sicke shall amend.

The Moone in ♉, of ♂ afflicted.

But if the Moone be configurated to Mars either by Conjunction or aspect, the sicke shall take his bed by the meanes of a disease proceeding of blood, and be vexed with continuall Feauers and ob∣struction

of the whole body with inflamation of the necke and pole, ache of the bones, with inordinate watch, insomniation, and desire of drinke, and coole things. Blood letting and things that extenuat, mittigate and aswage, are good against the cause of the griefe.

And if the violence of Mars be not resisted by y^e fauourable beames of the fortunes, but y^e the moon must needs suffer his malicious in∣fluence, then on the next meeting of her and the ill fortunes (vpon a dying day) the sicke shall depart. But if the moone be deliuered from the intercidentical force of Mars (chiefly increasing in light & motion, and adiuted by the amiable beames of Iupiter or Venus) then th•• disease shall slake after the next Iudiciall &c. concourse with the Moone and the fortunes.

The Moone in ♊. of ♄ oppressed.

THe Moone in Gemini afflicted by the maleuolous influence of Saturne (especially deminishing in light and motion) shall cause the disease to take his beginning and original, by reason of vigilla∣tion and much watch, or by lassitude and wearinesse of the bodie with trauelling or excesse of labour and violent exercise: The arti••s and sinewes shal (as though they were losed) scarce cleaue together, with much debillation and wearinesse of the bodye: the griefe shall soone shew it selfe (or as Hermes saith,) after three daies vntill the 30. day, the disease shall increase with small Feauers, and con∣sumption, and wasting of the whole bodie: Also the disease shall be moste tormentable by night with sweating & griefe of the spleane: the pulses are low and little. Oftentimes such persons shall haue a defluxion and falling downe of humors into the armes and legges.

And if the Moone apply to Saturne (either by Coniunction, Quar∣tile, or Opposition aspect) then on the next congresse of Luna, with the destroyers of nature (vpon an interficient day) the sicke person shall giue vp his Ghoast.

But if the Moone b•• elonged aboue 9. degrees from the bodie or ••ll aspect of Saturne, then the sicke shall not depart, especially if the moone be increasing in light and motion, and defended by the beames of the fortunes: yet the sicke shall bee feeble a long time by meanes of the congellation and toughnes of the matter dispersed through all the bodie.

The Moone in ♊. of ♂. afflicted.

WHos•• taketh his bed, the moone being in Gemini, and ad∣ioyned or enimically aspected and beheld of the furious and ••reful Plannet Mars (especially decreasing in light & motion) that person shall be violentlie tormented with a mortall and deadly di∣sease, proceeding of much ingurgitation of wine and strong drinke, and chollericke matter. The sicke person shall haue continuall and pernicious burning Feauers, with obstructions and stopping of the veines. The pulses shall be high, and inordinate.

Blood letting is conuenient to the sicke bodie. And if the Moone be configurated to none of the fortunes, but applyeth also to Saturne (eyther by Coniunction, or hatefull aspect.) the sicke person shall not escape, but at the next mortall day that Luna commeth within the dangerous confines of frowing Saturne, the sicke shall yeelde him∣selfe a prisoner and captiue to pale death.

Contrarily if the moone be free from the semidiameters of the ill fortunes (especially assisted with the fortunes, and augmenting in light and motion) then on y^e next meeting of the Moon with Iupiter or Venus (vpon a mortall day, &c.) the diseased body shall féele ease.

The Moone in ♋. of ♄. oppressed.

SAturne afflicting the moone in Cancer (at the lying downe of any sicke and diseased Person) denoteth the griefe to come of much bathing in colde water, or of a conceite, or vehement colde, or by late drinking, or fitting long at studdy, or such like: The sicke person shall be vexed with the Cough, Catarre and horsenes, and distillati∣on and falling downe of humors into the breast: with obstructions and oppilation of the Pipes, with Feauers, strict and inordinate: the pulses are lowe and little.

And if the moone be decreasing in light and motion, and placi∣cally adioyned to Saturne, the sicke shall die (chiefly if none of the fortunes assist the moone with their fauourable beames.)

But if the moone be elonged from the beames of Saturne (especi∣ally increasing in light and motion) and fortunately aspected of Iu∣piter or Venus, then on the next meeting of the moone with the for∣tunes vpon a Iudicall day &c.) nature shall preuaile against the e∣uill humors.

The Moone in ♋ of ♂ afflicted.

HE that is debride or taketh his bed, the Moone being in the signe of Cancer, malefacted by the euill influence of Mars, shall haue a disease proceeding of blood or sweet fleame, with euersion and tourning of the ventricle. Things that refrigerate and coole expelles the griefe.

And if none of the fortunes intermeddle their friendly beames, y^e diseased party shall hardly escape, especially if the Moone be com∣bust, or decreasing in light and motion.

But if she be adiuted and holpen by the fortunes, then at the next obuiation of Luna with the restorers of nature Iupiter or Venus (vpon any of the alteration dayes) the rage & fury of Mars shall b•• emulgated and abated.

The Moone in ♌ of ♄ oppressed.

IN whose decumbiture & lying downe the Moone possessed the ce∣lestiall signe of Leo (and therin afflicted of Saturne) the griese shall proceed of blood: the sicke person shall be grieued about all y^e breast with heate and intension of the heart stringes, with augmenting Feauers: The pulses are troubled & out of course, with great heate and feruentnes both inwards and outwards. Things that heate & mittigate, are very good and commodious to the sicke body.

And if Mars also oppresse the Moone, or if she be not succored vn∣der the winges of the fortunes, then (on the next mortall day, that the Moon meeteth with the venomous beames of the destroyers of nature) the sicke shall dye: chiefly if the Moone be combust, or de∣minishing in light and motion.

But if Iupiter or Venus regard the Moone either corporally or raditionally, especially she being free from the Sunne beames, and augmenting in light and motion, for then nature shall get the victo∣ry of the rebellous humors, & on the next ambulation of the Moone with the fortunes (on a criticall day) the sicke shall amend.

The Moone in ♌. of ♂. afflicted.

THE Moone being in Leo (oppressed by Mars) the griefe shall proceed of superaboundance of blood, causing vnstable and vn∣certaine Feauers, with languishing, and sounding, and losse of appetite: heauinesse of the body, with drowsinesse and dead

sleepe vnerpugnable, with extenuation and consuming of the whole bodie: weakenesse, with diuers passions and affectes of the hart. Things that are refrigeratiue & abstringent are medicinable.

And if the M••one applie to the fortunes (chiefly free from com∣bussion, increasing in light, and swift in motion) the sicke shall not departe: yet the griefe shall bee dangerous by reason of the violent heating and adustion of the blood.

But if the Moone be past the Opposition and ioyned to the euill beames of Mars diminishing in light and motion: then (vppon the next interficient day that the Moone meeteth with the bodies or ill aspects of Saturne or Mars) the diseased person wil be forced to yéeld and surrender his spirit.

The Moone in ♍. of ♄. oppressed.

IF the Moone be in Virgo afflicted by the Coniunction or aspect of Saturne (at the time the sicke tooke his bed) the griefe shall procéed of cruditie and indigestion in the stomacke, with ache of the bowels and intrailes, proceeding of tough and viscuous fleame, sometimes with head-ache and pricking vnder the ribbes, Feauers, strict and inordinate. Things which callifie, mollifie, and dissolue, are curable to the griefe.

And if the fortunes aspect the Moone (especially she being increa∣sing in light and motion, and free from the sunne beames) then the sicke person shal not depart: yet he wil be long sick, by the meanes of the crudde humors which will be long before they are fully ouer∣come.

But if none of the fortunes beholde the moone, then there is no hope of life, but at the next meeting with the moone and the ill for∣tunes (on a Mortall day) nature shall bee vtterly endamaged and ouercome.

The Moone in ♍. of ♂. afflicted.

THe moone in Virgo (afflicted by the malicinus beames of out∣ragious Mars) the sicknesse shall proceed of sharpe and fretting humours, with fluxe of the wombe, and exulceration of the bowels, with small and vustable Feauers: The pulses are flowe and thick, with euersion of the ventricle, & the stomacke abhorring & loathing of meate. Things y^t represse the disease, are such as are obstructiue, and expell sharpe fretting humors.

And if the seueritie and cruelty of Mars be not emulgated and a∣bated (either by the cōiunction, application, or cōfiguratiō of Iupiter or Venus) the sicke shall not escape: chiefly the Moone being com∣bust, and decreasing in light and motion.

But if the Moone apply to none of the fortunes he shall dye (on the next mortall day) to the fortunes the contrary.

The Moone in ♎ of ♄ oppressed.

AT whose decumbiture the Moone was collocated in the signe of Libra (and oppressed by the body or aspect of Saturne.) The grief shal come of the ingurgitation or inordinate swilling of wine, and strong drinke, with nocturnall and nightly assault and conflict, paine and griefe of the head and breast, distillations, cough, & hoars∣nes: The breast greened of lassitude, the stomack disdaining meate, small Feauers comming by night with a double accesse. He shall be continually tormented and afflicted, with remission and slacknes of the pulses. Thinges that callifie and heate are very profitable.

And if the Moone apply to none of the fortunes neither by Con∣junction nor aspect, then the sicke shall dye: especially if the Moone be combust, or decreasing in light and motion.

But if Mars also afflict the Moone, then the griefe shall not turne out of one disease into an other, but at the next congression with Sa∣turne or Mars (on an intercidenticall day) the sicke person shall dy.

The Moone in ♎ of ♂ afflicted.

MARS oppressing the moone in the signe of Libra, will pro∣uoke a disease proceeding of blood; whereof will growe inten∣sed Feauers, with vigillation and waking, and inflamation of the whole body. The reamidy in curing of such persons, is by letting of blood, and the vsage of such thinges as are dormitable.

And if none of the fortunes regard the Moone (so afflicted) the diseased person will be constrayned to giue place to death.

But if the mallice of Mars refrayned (by the influence of Iupiter or Venus) the sicke shall not depart: but at the next congresse of the Moone with Saturne or Mars (vpon a iudiciall day &c.) the diseased person shall be restored to his pristiue strength.

The Moone in ♏ of ♄ oppressed.

FVrthermore the Moone being in Scorpio of Saturne indamaged (by the euill influence of his poysoned corps) The disease shall happen by the meanes of exulceration, or of the euil called bubo in the secrete parts, viz. in anno aut pudenda &c. And if the Moone in∣crease in light and motion, (especially adiuted by Iupiter or Venus) then the sicknesse shalbe ouercome.

But if none of the fortunes beholde the Moone neither by Con∣junction nor Aspect (chiefly deminishing in light and motion) then on the next mortall congression of Luna with the destroyers of nature, dryrie death shall attainte the afflicted corpes of his silly captiue.

The Moone in ♏ of ♂ afflicted.

THE Moone in Scorpio at the lying downe of the sicke person (oppressed by Mars) the disease shall proceed of some feruent or hot impostumation or exulceration, the Pockes, Measels, and He∣merods, Pestilence, Illiacie, and such like.

And if the Moone apply to no fortunate plannet, (but is corpo∣rally or raditionally adioyned to an ill plannet) then on the next meeting of Luna with the destroyers of nature (on a mortall day) the grieued person shall depart.

But if the moone be swift in motion and departing out of com∣bustion (fortunatly affected of Iupiter or Venus) the party shall be de∣liuered at the next mortall congression of the Moone & the fortunes.

The Moone in ♐ of ♄ afflicted.

SAturne afflicting the Moone in Sagitarius (especially slow in mo∣tion and decreasing) will torment the sicke body with defluction, of thinne and sharpe biting humors, ach of the sinewes and artiers, refrigerations, with extream horror of a Feauer, corripienting, and afflicting the sicke with double accesse. The remedy of those is by thinges that mittigate, aswage and heate.

And if none of y^e fortunes behold y^e moone w^t their amiable beams, but is adioyned or applyeth to Saturne or Mars, (either by Cōjuncti∣on or asp••cte) then the sicke shall not escape: but at the next mortall

configuration of the Moone with the ill fortunes, the sicke shall de∣part.

But bring adiuted of y^• fortun's (especially increasing in light and motion) and free from combustion the sicke shall recouer after the next applycation of Luna and the fortunes on a criticall day, &c.

The Moone in ♐. of ♂. oppressed.

MOrtall and deadly diseases are bred and ingendered in their bodies, (at whose decumbiture the moone was oppressed by the influence of furious Mars,) taking originall and beginning, of much dri••king and repleation: as vnstable Feauers, comming of Chollericke matter, solution and loosenes of the wombe: The pul∣ses are remisse and languidious, and the healing of such must bee by thinges that are refrigeratiue and obstructiue:

It the moone applie to Saturne eyther by Coniunction, Quartile, or Opposition, then the griefe shall be vncurable.

But if the Moone be elonged 10. degrees, or more from the hate∣full beames of Saturne and Mars, or applying to Iupiter or Venus (especially aumenting in light and motion) the sicke shall bee disea∣sed vntill the next Criticall &c. obuiation of the moone and the for∣tunes, and then he shall be deliuered.

The Moone in ♑. of ♄. oppressed.

THe moone in Capricornus (afflicted of Saturne and diminishing inlight and motion) the griefe shall come of a colde cause, with thinne and subtil distillations heauines of the brest, and the lunges oppressed with difficultie of breathing, the cough shall greeuouflye torment him by night, with intensed Feauers: Thinges that mit∣tig••te and heate, are medicinable.

And if the Moone be not succored by the congression, Coniuncti∣on or aspect of the fortunes, the ficknesse shall be long, yet notwith∣standing mortall.

But if the moone be seperated from the semidiameter of his body, or euill aspect (especially augmenting in light and motion) thē on the next confamiliaritie of the moone (with Iupi••er or Venus) natur•• shall preuaile against the crudde humors.

The Moone in ♑. of ♂. afflicted.

BUt it Mars afflict the moone in the signe of Capricorne it w••l pro∣uoke an infirmitie of vomitting, preceeding of cho••••oricke mat∣ter or euill digestion. This disease is dangerous and full of per••ill: continuall Feauers, and vnstable, losse of appetite, floxe of the wombe, with exulceration & exasperation of the fingers, by meanes of sharpe choller and inflamation of the breast: and it is painfull for the sicke person to stretch or sturre his sinnowes.

The pulses are remisse and slacke. Things constringentiue, and obstructiue, are medi••pnable.

And if the Moone be within the semidiameter of Mars, or mee∣teth also the beames of Saturne (at that instant) then the partie shall not escape, but at the next obuiation of the Moone and the ill for∣tunes (on an interficient day) the sicke shall dye.

But if she be elonged from the diameter of the distroyers of na∣ture, Iupiter or Venus also assisting the Moone, the sicke shall re∣couer.

The Moone in ♒. of ♄. oppressed.

WHen Saturne oppresseth the Moone in Aquary (at the ly∣ing downe of any sicke person) the disease shall proceed of much watch, lassitude, wearinesse, or violent labour and exercise: The griefe shall infest him vnequally, with remission, and intenst∣on, vntill the moone come to her Opposition, and then he shall re∣leeue (chiefly) if the fortunes intermedle their fauourable beames.

The Moone in ♒. of ♂. afflicted.

IF Mars afflict the Moone in Aquarius (at the lying downe of the sicke person) he shall be grieued with a most acute and sharpe cause.

And if the Moone apply to any of the fortunes (chiefly increa∣sing in light and motion) the diseased person shall not depart.

But if the Moone be corporally or raditionally adioyned or as∣pected of the ill fortunes, then there will be smal hope of life.

The Moone in ♓. of ♄ oppressed.

THe Moone decreasing in light and motion, and afflicted of Sa∣turne in Pisces, the disease shall happen of refrigerations & cold••

bathings, with grieuous distillations, and continuall Feauers, fearcely augmenting vpon the sicke: often sighing and pricking of the breast, intention of the precordiace and heart-stringes. Things that heate and mittigate doth succor the sicke body.

And if none of the fortunes regard the moone, but she is aspected and beheld by the basilicall lookes of furious Mars, or if the Moon•• obu••ateth also with frowning Saturne, or is within his diameter, then there is no hope of life (chiefly if the moone be deminished in light and motion) for then at the next congression of y^e moone with the distroyers of nature (on a dying day) the sicke person shalbe for∣ced to surrender his vitall breath.

But if the moone apply to the fortunes either by Conjunction or aspect, the sicke shall releeue after the next mortall concourse of Lu∣na with the fortunes, chiefly if she bee free from combustion, and augmenting in light and motion.

The Moone in ♓ of ♂ afflicted.

FInally if the Moone be in Pisces afflicted of Mars, (either cor∣porally, or radiationally and increasing in light and motion (at the decumbiture of any person) then shall arise a griefe proceed∣ing of much ingurgitation of wine or strong drinkes, and of plen∣titude and cepleasion oppressing the sicke with ••octurnall intensi∣ons, with head-ache doting and phrensie, with burning Feauers, vehement thirst, and desire of cou••d drinke. The healing of such is first by opening of a veine, and the vsage of those thinges that re∣presse the cause.

And if the Moone be not succored by the fortunes, but is in do∣maged also by lowring Saturne, then on the next interficient day that the Moone rūneth with Saturne or Mars the sicke shall depart.

But if Iupi••er or Venus regard the Moone (with friendly aspect) then on the next criticall, iudiciall, or mortall day, that the Moone pertranceth with the bodies or amiable beames of the fortunes, the violence of the rebellious humors shall be vtterly extinguished.

Note heere that the Moone apply to any of the distroyers of na∣ture in what signe soeuer she be, either by coniunction, application, or any aspect: although it be only by the vniting and adioyning of their semidiameters, yet it will worke the like operation in dis∣eased

persons: but not so grieuously nor mortally, as the Coniun∣ction, Quartile, or Opposition. For if the ill fortunes behold the Moone (with Sextile, or Trine aspects) the disease shall not be le∣thall: neither also in vnperfect applications, Quartile, or Op∣position: whereas she is elonged, and separated from their beams (especially if the moone be augmenting in light and motion) and aided by the beames of the fortunes.

Also according to some mens opinions, it profiteth much the diseased person, if the fortunes or good starres are scituated in the Meridian or Horizon (at the decombiture or lying downe of the sicke body) and so contrary wise it hindreth the grieued person, if the ill fortunes occupy the said places.

The manner how to know of what Humour or Humours the griefe proceedeth.
