§ 12. Saturn had never been known for a Cold Influx, but by his Aspect, and First with the Sun. Now, tis a pretty Problem, how ♄ mixing with the Sun, a Glorious Fiery Furnace, should so easily Juggle as to practice Cold by such a Congress? As Cardan faith, He can be only less warm than the Sun, and that a less degree of Warmth compared with a greater, is ab∣solute Cold: As in Water of a low remiss, Warmth, saith he, cast into a boyling Pot, it allayes the wambling of the Liquor, in Ptol. Lib. XII.

§ 13. No question but ♄ is higher than any of the Planets, because he i sooner discover'd upon the recess of the ☉, than those which are near. I would it were as wellagreed, how high he is, how many Semidiameters of the Earth he is remote from us; 'Tis no question also but this height of ♄ helps, or contributes to get him the Name of a Cool Planet; and seems to favour those no mean Philosophers, who explicate Cold by the nature of Privation, or a less Agitation of the Spirits in, or from that which is denominated a Cold Body, compared to the agitation of the Spirits in the Warmer. But besides that this Notion seems not to agree with Coldsharp Wind, where the chill Spirit is more agitated than the Spirits of the Bloud or Organ. 'Tis all one to us, whether it be Yea, or Nay; yet since we have said the Cold is a Spirit, an Effluvium (as what Body hath not?) sudden, not always distinct and gradual in its Operati∣on, but both sudden and painful. Now Pain is Solutio continui, and there∣fore Cold must penetrate, and separate, (even where no Wind is sensible) and Expell the Contrary Spirit, which accordingly retreats, and is repell'd thereby. The Touch of Brass, Silver, in cold Weather, will force us to withdraw our Hand; and for the Repulse of the Spirit, who hath not seen a Cold Plate laid on the Neck, stanch the bleeding at the Nose? For Cold is an Enemy to Heat, of which Enmity the Spirit is sensible, and re∣sists. For whereas 'tis said, that Cold constringes the Pores: I rather think it is the Animal Spirit shrinks from the approach of its Enemy first, and then Nature shuts up the Avenues to hinder entrance.

§ 14. 'Tis to be considered also that Cold strikes up to the Head from the Sole of the Foot, though well Shod and Arm'd against it, if we walk on a Marble Pavement; which shews, one would think, some

Activity upon the Organ of Sence at some distance; as a Torpedo benum∣ming the Fishers hand on Shore, when the Fish is in the Stream; And for refrigeration sake to mix a cool Spirit with Wine, we immerge it in Water, or lay it in Earth: There is a maniiest Penetration of the Cool Spirit, where the case of Less Agitation will scarce hold; for the Glass Bottle, it may be, is as cold as the Earth, or Water either.

§ 15. Now therefore that it repells the Spirit, appears that after the handling of Snow the Sensory is Warmer, because the Bloud returns with advantage to those Extream parts from whence it was driven; there is a Perception in Nature, and Contrary doth smell its Contrary. To this purpose I remember long ago in a hard Winter, where our Colledge Ale, (for that was our Li∣quor) being conglaciated into a Capacious Vessel, upon a Thaw never re∣turned to its self, but was found so much insipid Ice, with this difference only that in the Center there was lodged about a Quart of much Stronger Li∣quor, than any was put into the C••sk. A manifest Evidence that Spirits be∣ing besieged by the Ambient Frost, retreated thither as to their Cittadel. The like is to be observed in Fruits, which upon the Solution of great Frosts are known to putrifie, because the proper Preservative, some would call it the Balsannick Spirit, of the Fruit is dislodged by the Cold, so that the Warmth. returning finds nothing there but the Carcase of the Apple. M. Rohault an ingenious Cartesian, meeting I see, with this Objection, confes∣ses there is a destruction of the Nexus, and Site of the Parts: and what Parts can those be but the Spiricuous? Add likewise the Instance of Mortificati∣on of the Members of our Body, so ordinary in Muscovy and other Coun∣tries; which could not be if the vital Spirits did not retire from the surface, and return again, not of a Sudden, but by degrees: Namely, if upon their approach to Fire they lay Snow, as the Story goes, upon the part affected, to prevent the fam'd Putrefaction.

§ 16. I must not be long in this dispute, only this I say, we cannot shew a Corpuscle in the Privation, which darkens the Air, &c. But in a great Frost we can shew the Cold Atoms Fluttering about us: For in a Frosty morning the pruinous Atoms lye floating in the Air, and the Traveller ga∣thers them in his Frosty Locks, oft-times hoary before his time; we can guess also of what size the Atome is, and that it inclines to Gravity; we can tell to which of the Poles it is fled when warm weather comes; I mean no more but this, Part is sent up into the Air commonly called the Cool Region, and Part, sunk into the Earth; that Earth which is as cool as Ice, and therefore helps to keep it all the year long for the Palates of the Delicate. Cold is a Privation of Heat, as Sickness is a Privation of Health when One comes, 'Tother goes, both are positive.

§ 17. Now let us, if we dare enquire, How ♄ has acquitted himself for a Chill Officer, whether he be such a Plumbeous Blew-nosed Planet as Antiquity marks him. In our Winter Partition we must not expect that there falls under ♄ 's Dominion more Snow than Rain; no not in Winter, I say, for Winters are most of them Black, rather than White; and not one in twenty in the Course of Nature is so rigid; and the like is to be said in Frosty Constitutions; Nature is kinder than so to us in this Corner of the World, if it be but for the Travellers sake, and the Beast under him. For hard would be their Condition, if a Horse after 20 Miles rugged way hardly passed, might not have his usual Drench out of the River: It is enough therefore that ♄ shews his sullen Influence more than ♂ or ☉, &c. The Number of the Days we are to account for, are 401. videlicet, from September 27. to April 23. Now, because Snow is found sometimes so ear∣ly, as the end of September, and so late in the year, as April 23. we cannot look it should Snow every intermediate day upon ♄ 's account, nor come up to a moyety, as he does most fairly, if you put Snow and Rain together;

for so you shall find under the Style of Rain, and store of Rain, 149 days; add the 56 days for Snow and Hail, and you have a liberal half of 401.

§ 18. To Anotomize this cold Serpent a little further, I find the Sum∣mer thus, Cold days 52. (without sensible Frosts) Frosty Mornings 80. Frosty Constitutions of the Entire days 54. to which I may add Cold Wind 12. It is true, we meet with a matter of 60. under the Style of Warmth, expressly such; but then for excess of Heat, I take notice that we find but 3 hot days under this Aspect, in 30 years under that Division, where October and March, and the greatest part of April is concern'd. In the Summer Partition from April 23. to September 27. within which Interval, Snow seldom appears, in England at least, we find hot days 46. and remiss warm, 24. which may administer a Quaere; as also 10 hot nights, a piece of a Quaere, still; but even here we find cold 21. Frosty Mornings about 16. Cool or Cold remitted, 18. yea, and 3. Frosty days, extraordinary Frosts morn. and Hail 4. Frosty Mornings in the Month of May are frequent, and sometimes they happen in the Month of August.

§ 19. They that please to consult the Table, shall find what Influence he has on Winds, Fiery Meteors, Lightning, Thunder; what upon Fogs, and Hazy and Dark Air. In the Winter we hear of no Thunder, but of Lightning under both Divisions, and in the Summer Partition about 80 times Thundering; we cannot say that is too much for Saturn, if we could confront our Aspect with an Aspect of ☉ and ♂ upon 60 years Evi∣dence, (for so many years must be introduced to equal this of ♄ and ☉.) He shall find a wide difference; or if that will not Content, then we must begin to learn, that notwithstanding the difference of the Planetary Cha∣racters, in some Signs they may be all alike for Heat, Thunder, &c. only we are bound to take Notice, that in the Summer time we meet with Harmful Thunder under this Aspect; yea, and Harmful Lightnings as many times; when the Total Sum of Lightning was but 6. or 7. Whe∣ther this mischief arises from some peculiar Cause discoverable in the fur∣ther Scrutiny of that Effect at such time and place; or Whether it arises from the Exasperation of the Heat, according to our ordinary Philosophy? Which may pass for a reason also till we can get a better, perhaps, why ♄ and ☉ brought more days of excessive Heat, than of remissive Warmth: But that our ☉ and ♄ can do brisk Feats, we have heard before from Epigenes.

§ 20. Verily I do reckon it a reason, why we find thrice mention of Prodigious Hail in the Summer Division, and yet ordinary Hail but twice. But we have occasion for the like Observation, when we come to the As∣pect of the ☉ and ♃. In the mean time let me observe, as to the appearance of Snow, that it may fall, 'tis true, on the Day, or upon the Skirts of the Day, upon the precise Aspect. But again to justifie my enlargement of our Evidence, we shall find, that Snow as naturally falls 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, yea 10 days from the Aspect: Saturn's remote distance in the Perpendicular con∣tributes to Cold, but it seems that an Obliqu-Angular distance of the Pla∣net does very well; but yet under a reasonable confinement, within which ♄ may hear and comply. And this I make no question holds in the ☍ of ☉ and ♄, with some little difference, which here we are not suffer'd to enquire: For if the ☌ be cool, the ☍ by our Principle, must be cooler.

§ 21. I have little else to trouble the Reader, only I cannot dissemble that I have not thought that ♄ at such distance from ☉ could have contributed to red Clouds, to Irides, or to Halo's; ••et some Instances of all three ap∣pear in the Table.

§ 22. Yea, or as Epigenes, whom I have a value for, to Wind, at such distance, when as ☿ bears away the Bell, because of its Vicinity, and

we think it is reasonable: But if ♄ by his Bulk will make amends for that his distance; or if his Ansulae, or Auriculae, that the Tube may see we heartily acknowledge our Obligation to their Discoveries, we know not, here we find the Summer Division above an 150 Instances of Wind, and 70 of them High Winds; and if ♄ cannot challenge a share in them, who can? This must be unquestionable, the Greater must the Influence be, the further the Influence is derived; wherefore if ♄ be any thing at at All, he is a vast sublime Creature, placed aloft in a Sphere so high, that we should not believe, but that we see Thousands of Creatures higher.

§ 23. For our Aspects Forreign Evidence, perhaps we may see some∣what after the Chapter of Saturn and Mars; or if we balk it, let it not be imputed to us, some Forreign Instances we meet in the Diary already de∣livered, whereby we see ♄ ☉ can Thunder, &c.

§ 24. There is but one Objection lies in our Way, which upbraids us, that no sober men are of our Opinion, I answer, the Objecter, if need be, will make one sober Man, if our Evidence at least be sober; but 2ly. Have I not quoted my Lord of S. Albans, and might I not have added to him Sir Walter Rawleigh, and to him again Gerard Vossius, as Sober and Reverend Men as the World affords. Sir Walter I remember bears Testimony to us about the Heats of ☉ and ♂, and Vossius in his Heathen Idolatry tells us, All our Aspects, particularly the ♂ ♀ Si aptis caeli locis jungantur imbres ge∣nerant, & quando{que} etiam fulmina ☉ & ♄ aera reddit nubitum & turbidum, Cloudy, Close, dark Air, nay he ventures on the Fixed too, and withal his Credit so far as to bid us look back on ☌ ♄ ☉ in principio ♌, Ann, M.D.LXIII. when a Cruel Pestilence raged in many parts of Europe. See the place, Lib. 11. c. 47. to all which he puts to his Seal, Atque haec sunt ver 4 Cerla{que} while some other parts of our Astrology perhaps he doth not like; For my part if I had not found that these Notions are certainly true, I would never have set Pen to Paper.
