- ☌ ☉ ☽ CHAP. XIV. ☍ ☉ ☽The Lunar Warmth further deduced, as to the Change and Full, in the Dissolutions of Frosts: A competent Catalogue of Frosts so dissolved; the vulgar notion justified, yet it is not perpetual, sometimes other Causes step in, specially ☌ ♂ ☽. If the Full ☽ dissolves more Frosts than the New, 'tis agreeable to our principles. Why the Frosts are not dissolved precisely on the day of the Aspect, but 2 or 3 days before or after.
- CHAP. XIV.
- CHAP. XVI. △ ☉ ☽§ 1. 2. The Phasis seems gibbous and deformed. 3. A Triduum requi∣red to its consideration. 4. Semisextiles and Quincunxes inconveni∣ences. 6. The Trine equal, yea, more potent than the Square. 9. De∣monstrated from excesses of Weather. 10. The compendions Summa∣ry of the Table. 11. The greatness of the Aspect made out by Com∣parison with the Aspects precedent. 13. Tusses, or Colds Epidemi∣cal not without Caelestial Influence. 14. Other Singularities in Tides and Ebbs. 16. Winds shift round the Compass. 17. and 18. The first Trine of September and December, and perhaps March never fails. The Second Trine in February, March, September, October alike successful. 19. Trines apt for Tempest. 20. 21. Their Energy founded on a right Angle. 22. A Trine more tempestuous than a Square, the reason of that Paradox, the Antients teach it not.
- CHAP. XVII. ✶ ☉ ☽§ 1. The ✶ the first Lunar Phasis of the Creation. 2. The secondary Light discernible in the dark side of the Lunar Discus, whence? 3. The Aspect operates. 5, 6. Keeps touch at the Hour. 7. The Moons part seems to lye in the Complement of an Effect. 8. & 9. This Aspect need not be ashamed to appear among her Kindred, 'tis as stormy as one of the Squares, and as dashing. 10. A Table declara∣tive of their Influence. 12. Second ✶ seems to out-do them all. 13. In stormy Weather of more frequency, but less danger. 15. The Full ☽ brings less moisture than any of its fellow Aspects. 17. Aspects com∣pared as to dashing Rains. 18. This Aspect takes place in fits of Rain, returning after frequent intermission. 19, 20, 21. This demonstrated. 22. Of infallible success as to Rain, how far the Table produced. 24. Inclination for Wind. 26. Search into the reason of its Influence, whether there be any thing of a right Angle. Some equality in all Aspects. The ✶ is critical with the Physitians not without reason. 29. Gassendus his why-not's answered. 13. Suf∣frage of the Seaman from our great Verulam.

LIB. II.
- CHAP. I. Conjunction of Sol and Mercury. ☌ ☉ ☿.
- CHAP. II. Conjunction of Sol and Venus ☌ ☉ ♀§ 1. and 2. A noble and permanent Aspect. 3. Aspects, their pretty Vi∣cissitudes. 4. The Table of the Direct Aspect. 5. The Table of the Retrograde, 6. Somewhat prolix, but necessary. 7. The ☌ contri∣butes to Warmth. 8. And yet also to Cold; how the Congress of Two Catorifick Bodies may increase, yea, and abate Heat. 9. The Tradi∣tion of the Antients. 10. Justified as to bright Air. 11. As to Showres. 12. Contignations of Clouds, whence they proceed. 13. Ju∣stified as to High Winds. 14. Though the prolixity of our Table be disadvantageous to our Method, we find notwithstanding a Moyety for Moisture in the Direct. The Retrograde Aspect brings moisture once within the Triduum. 15, 16. Presentment of some days from the Table which brought store of Rain, and not a few, which rain'd all the day long. Divine Providence proved thereby. How ♀ con∣tributes to such lasting Rains. Astrology demonstrates. 17, 18. Fleec'd Clouds, strip'd Clouds have their determinate Cause. 19. Some ac∣count of Clouds riding contrary. 20. Of the Morn, and Evening Tincture of the Clouds. 21. Difference of Mist, ♀ inclines to Fog. 22. Platick Aspects explained, as powerful as the Central, whereby we give an account of the Effects and its Duration. 23. Recourse to Kep∣lers Diary. 24. Due and proportionable distance is operative as well as a Central Conjunction. 25. Some Light to distinguish the Effects even when the Aspects are co-incident. 26. Our Aspect contributes to Waters. 27. ♀ in elongation seems to contribute to the same. 28. Our Aspect attended with Chasmes, and a parcell of fiery Meteors. 29. Yea some Comets and Earthquakes occur. 30. Shortness of understanding it may be, to multiply Prodigies; to acknowledge them is None. Nature not wholly excluded from Prodigy. 31. Conjecture why Ptolemy as∣cribes no Fiery Meteors to ♀, &c. 32. Tycho and Kepler favour our Pretence, as to the Original of Comets. An attempt to give an account of the Duration of a Comet. 33. Some instances in Flouds. 34. And of Monstrous Hail. 35. A Hurracane. 36. The Abstract drawn from the premises.
