Gemini at his passage vnto the solsticiall e∣stiuall signe Cancer. The third parte of an English yeere called Summer, taketh his beginning this yere, as Ptolomie sayth, the twelfch of Iune but as my skill doth coniec∣ture, it beginneth when the wether waxeth so hot, that beggers scorne barnes and lie in the field for heate, and the wormes of Saint Pancredge Church build their bowers vn∣der the shadow of Colman hedge.
The predominant qualities of this quar∣ter is heate and drynesse, whereby I doe ga∣ther, that through the influence of Cancer, bottle Ale shall bee in greate authoritie, and wheat shall doe knights seruice vnto malt.
Tapsters this quarter shall be in greater credite than Coblers, and many shall drinke more then they can yearne.
And yet because Mercurie is a signe that is now predominant, women shall be more troubled with fleas then men, and such as want meate shall go supperlesse to bed.
Besides, this quarter great hurlie burlies are like to be feared, and greate stratagems like to be performed, through the opposition of Mars and Saturne.
Butchers are like to make great hauock amongst flies: beggers on Sun shine daies to commit great murthers vpon their rebel∣lious vermine.
