FIrst, Look for the Plant that you have a mind to gather, in the Table, and that will tell you what Month they must be gathe∣red in; and then look in the Table of Months, and there you will find what Days will be best to gather them in.
As for Example.
I would know what time is best in the Year 1683. to gather Fleewort; looking in the Table, I find Fleewort to be an Herb of Mars, and to be gathered in September; then look under∣neath for September, and against the Year 1683. I find 12 and 21, which doth shew, that the 12th and the 21th are the best Days to gather that Herb in.
Again, I desire to know what time is best, in the Year 1684. to gather Scurvey-Grass in, I find Scurvey-Grass to be an Herb of Iupiter, and to be gathered in April and May; then look in the Table underneath for April and May, and against 1684. I find 5 22 27, 11 31. which shews that the 5 22 27 Days of April, and the 11 & 31 Days of May, are the best times to gather that Herb in; and so of the rest.
