SECTION III. Of Autumn.

This Season begins when the Sun enters ♎, at which time he once more maketh the Days and Nights equal, it is by Na∣ture cold and dry, signifying Manhood, and continueth all the time that the Sun is running through the Signs ♎, ♏, ♐; and the Rulers hereof are ♀, ♂, ♃; first ♀ bestows her tears upon the Hearse of the deceased Summer, and hereby generates a

Phaenix out of the old ones Ashes: and so while the Sun continues in ♎, we are made happy with a second Spring; but of no long continuance: next comes ♂ and he while the Sun is in ♏, endeavours to add heat to the moisture Venus lent, the better to cherish the later Summer: but that too is soon returned by reason of the absence of the Sun, the Fountain of all heat and grand Principle of Generation. Lastly, ♃ by his Balsamick Beams, while the Sun is in ♐, endeavours to perfect what the other two could not alone; and so conserves the mummial virtue of all Plants, Herbs, Fruits, &c. for the good of humane kind, and for the preservation of the Species of all things; to the end of this Quarter, which is as far as his Go∣vernment extends.
