subject to the Sign wherein it is celebrated, many times more powerfully, than in Countries agreeable to other Signs. Some Countries are subject to the firy Triplicity: England to the Ram, Italy to the Lion, Spain to the Archer. Some to the watery Tri∣plicity; as Scotland and Holland to the Crab, Norway to the Scorpion. Some to the Airy; as Austria to the Balance, Tartary to the Skinker. Some to the earthy, as Ireland to the Bull. Thus the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, or of the Sun and Venus in the Crab, giveth abun∣dance of rain in Scotland, where∣as in the South of England they are but few, if some Aspect in the fiery Triplicity do not in∣crease them. The Aspects may shed forth their influence in all Countries after some measure, but they work most potently in Countries subject to the signes

wherein the Aspect is made. And to go no further for the proof of this than the year 1669, when the Conjunctions of Mars and Venus and of the Sun and Venus came to pass in the Crab, the which did abundantly moisten North-Britain; though they were not so operative in En∣glands South parts: and when Jupiter the same year came to the Crab, these Aspects were again irritated by Sextiles with Jupiter, and the effects did fol∣low in the North, though the South was wonderfully dry. Af∣ter the like manner drought proceeding from an Eclipse of the Sun in the Ram, is much more felt in Countries subject to the fiery Triplicity, than in Countries related to the Crab, or the watery Triplicity.
