1. THe Genius of this Native depends upon Mercury, Venus, Saturne and Iupiter, because you see their places handsomely a∣dorn'd,
and the Lines wholly produced. And although Mercury exhibites no Character on his Taberculum, save onely a litle Line: yet the Cephalica, drawne by a direct Path, even to his Tuberculum, universally gives his Decrees. Hence doe appeare the Endowments of a Ready wit, a Happinesse to Eloquence, and o∣ther Ingenious Arts: whereof before in its proper Place.
2. Although the Sun be (here) in Capricorne, (as in the precedent Geniture) yet appeares there no Via Solis in the Hand: In which re∣spect the Favour of Princes shall not so easily be gained by this as the former Native, who hath Iupiter himselfe partly constituted in the Mid-heaven. Neverthelesse, the Cephalica showes, that this Native shall happily Man∣nage great Affaires.
3. The same is promised by the Conspi∣cuous Starre in the Mount of Iupiter. The Line running (as you see) from the Vitall to the Mount of Iupiter, hath very often mani∣fested to me the Conjunction of Mars and Iu∣piter in the Genitures, especially when it passeth through the Vitall, and the Temple of Venus, as you see it does, in the two following Examples, and in the 17th, therefore Iupiter is excellently well placed, he being Direct in Motion, and nigh to the Southerne Lance of Libra, beholding the Mid-heaven by a Sex∣tile,
notwithstanding he be in a Dejected House of the Heavens.
4. The Moone affords but slender significa∣tion, because she is not as yet come to a Sextile of the Sun. The Ferient presents but one Line, and that is attributed to short jour∣neyes.
5. The Mensall projects litle Branches to∣wards the Ferient, as in the former Exam∣ple.
6. Concerning the Portents of Saturne, which are yet more Obscure, we say nothing. For, seeing he is Retrograde in the 8. House, (although in his Triplicity) his Condition is but Indifferent: he afflicts Venus more by his Opposition, then he does Mercury, in that he is Extremely Adverse the Nature of Venus. As to their Opposition, we have but newly spoke.
7. The Mensa it selfe hath a due and simple proportion, whereby the goodnesse of Wit, Temperament and Behaviour is confirm'd.
8. The little Line posited in the Intervall of the Index and Medius, is Infortunate, and points out a Wound in the lower part of the Belly.
9. The Vitall vitiated neere the Beginning thereof by an Incisure, bodes a Disease in his Infancy. And he was accordingly seiz'd on, by an absolute Phrenzy, at the middle of
the Spring, in the yeare 1593. Yet happily es∣caped it without the Application of any Re∣medies, Corruption flowing abundantly from one of his Eares.
Hereupon wee thought him Reserv'd for greater matters. The same vitall discected by the Intervening of a Line descending from the Region of Saturne, theatens a most dangerous Disease, of the Nature of Saturne: and this about the 40th yeare of his Age: you see also the Horoscope it selfe comes (at that time) by Direction, to the Opposition of Saturne. This thing (as also elsewhere) wee can scarce suf∣ficiently admire. Mercury Lord of the 8th (the House of Death) is found in his Detri∣ment, hostility Afflicted of Saturne himselfe: which denotes a Fall from some High-Place, Drowning, Poyson, Plague, &c. Venus inter∣posing her selfe mitigates, and Abates of the Evill, in some sort, but takes it not wholly away.
