AFter this it is necessarye to haue the complexion, vertue, & nature, as well of the sunne & of the mone as of the .v. planetes: the whiche is such as foldweth here in orde••.
The Sunne is hote and drie, louing, geuynge lyfe, and lyghte vnto all na∣turall vertues. And of the members humayne he rulethe the brayne,
the marowe, the sight, the syuewes, and generally all the members of the righte parte of the bodye.
¶ The mone is colde and moist, louyng, of whome the effectes are manifeste, ha¦uing dominatton ouer the stomacke, the bellye, and of the mother of women, and generally ouer the members of the lefte parte of humayne bodye.
Saturnels colde and drye, enemye of nature, malitious and enuious, destroy∣er of life, and of the bodye he gouerneth the right eare, the milte, and the bladder: and of humors the inclancholye, and parte of the fleume.
Jupiter is hoate and moiste, louinge, sanguine, hauinge regarde ouer the lan∣ges, the sides, the gristels, and of the sede or naturall humour of man.
Mars is hote and drye, cruell: and of the humaine bodye is attributed vnto him the lefte eare, the vaynes, the gene∣tories, and of the humors, the choler, and after the opinion of some men, he gouer∣neth the liuer.
Uenus is colde and moyste, louinge, flewma••ike, and of the bodye humayne he gouerneth the backe bone, the buttoc∣kes: the lower partes of the bellye, the matrice with the mone, and the fa••te and
the sede, with the signe of Leo.
And it is to be noted, that Jupiter and Uenus are called good and fortunate, but Jupiter is the greatest good fortune and Uenus the leaste.
Saturne and Mars are called vnfor∣tunate, or euill fortunes, but Saturne is the greatest vnfortunate, and Mars the leaste.
The Sunne and the Mone are called meanes, or betwene both, that is to say, neither fortunate nor vnfortunate, but indifferent.
Neuerthelesse, Mercury taketh parte alwayes of the nature of the Planete, with the whiche he is cont••yned, or nea∣rest vnto: for with the good he is good, principally when he beholdeth him with a trine or sextile aspecte. And with the e∣uill he is euill likewise, when he is oppo∣site or comoyned with them, or when he beholdeth him with a quadrate aspecte.
