CHAP. VI. The Names of the Regions, Cities and Towns, subject to the Signs and Planets.

THe Effects of Eclipses are most felt in those Regions and places that are under the eclipsed Sign, and in such places where they are visible, Nil nocet Eclipsis illis Regionibus, in quibus non videtur: They operate more efficaciously in such places where they are Vertical, or where the chief Significator shall passe by their Zenith in the time of the Eclipse. As also upon those men whose Nativities agreeth with the Eclipse, that is to say, upon them in whose Nativity or Revolution have the place of the Horoscope (some ignorant fantastick fools cannot indure this word Horoscope) because it's above the reach of their capacities; for their ignorance outweighs their Wits, as much as a Milstone a Feather: They hate all they understand not, &c.
