¶ Of the Lyons herte a sterre fyxed. Capitulo .xxx.

LEo hath the great trees (that is to saye) he is lorde ouer them and sygnyfieth an hasty man full of angre & of angusshe / and of the body of man / it behoueth properly the herte / the backe and the sydes. And of regy¦ons Tartary / vnto the ende of the erthe haby¦table / and vnder the .xxxiii. degtee ryseth a sterre fyxed called the Lyons herte / and they that ben borne vnder that constellacyon / as Astronomyers saye / shall be mounted in hye sygnouryes / or in great offyces / & afterwar∣de shall be depryued or put downe / and be in daunger of theyr lyues / but if some good pla∣net beholde the sayd sterre they may nat be sa¦ued. Leo is the house of the sonne / and Aries is the exaltacyon of the sonne / as it is sayd of Ptholomeus and of other.
