CHAP. XI. Of the Lordes of the Natiuitie.
YOu must take the Lord of the Natiuitie, out of the places of the which we haue taken the giuer of life, (that is to vnderstand) of the place of the Sunne and of the Moone, of the degree ascendant of the part of Fortune, and of the degrees of the precedent coniunction or opposition of lightes. Of all these places likewise it is to be considered, what Plannet hath most dignities, for he shall be Lord of the Natiuitie, that which the giuer of yeeres shall signifie the tyme of our life, according to the scituation & felicitie or infelicitie, as we haue before sayd of the giuer of yeeres. And if the one giue more than the other, you must take the difference of both, and the halfe ad or diminish: according as shall be necessarie.
