XVI. LƲNA.

THe Moone, happy, makes Men famous, honest, honourable, and of a great body; yet well proportioned, pleasant also, and wil∣lingly journeying by Sea, and walking by the Sides of Rivers. But if any wayes dis∣senting in the rest, unconstant both in Life and Actions, yet tending (for the most part) to the best.

She Rules the Braine, the Stomach, and Belly.

But if Infortunate, shee portends a various, and inconstant kinde of life, weakenesse, and an increase of Griefes and Anxieties: shee (thus) occasions the Paralysis, a commoti∣on of the Members, oftentimes an Epilepsy and Canker, Spots of the body, cruell Col∣liques, and whatever else proceedeth from aboundance of Cold, and Moisture: and this the rather when the Lines found in the Tu∣berculum of the Moone doe appeare very pale. If there be Faire and Comely Signatures neare the Ferient, they premonstrate Happinesse to the Man in his journeys, and Messages; and in Forraigne Countreys: to the Woman felicity, and fertility in bearing of Children. Ominous signes doe shew the contrary.
