Of Winter.

THis Quarter beginneth at the accustomed time, & endeth when the Spring beginneth. This season is cold, and moe will resort to Taverns, and Wine sellers, to enjoy the juce of the Wine, Beire, and spirit of Malt: then to seeke salt Peter for the resisting of the enemie: It may fall out that such as bee hote blooded and young, may assay their skill to bee minders in these sellers, but if the toole bee blunt and faile them, their labour will bee nought, and such Powder will giue no fire.

This season, old men shall be vnable of the joynts, and shall bee more fit to be in the court of Bacchus,

then Venus: Aries is likelie to governe their heads, specially of such as haue young wiues: Most men shal marrie wiues to bee their helpers, but their wives shall over-rule them, and rather become their hal∣ters to lead them to doe what they please: And hee that wants a good wife may bee monstrous angrie, and availe himselfe nothing at all.

Young women and such as are of a mid age, shall bee desirous to bee governed by Scorpio, in the court of Sagitarius: For the helpe of all men to make them the more able to pleasure the wiues: let them eate good meat, and drinke stronge drinke: and to intertaine chastitie, let the wiues eat barley bread and drinke water.
