House and Lord thereof, and let the Lord of the Ascendant behold the Moon or some of the forenamed Significators, with a laudable and freindly aspect, or receive them, or some one of them, and let the Lord of the House signifying the thing desired, receive the Lord of the 7th. House, and the Moon, or at least∣wise one of them; as for example, should you make your request to a Brother, then its proper the Lord of the third House should receive the Lord of the first, or the moon, if of a Father, then the Lord of the 4th. ought to receive the Lord of the first or the Moon, if from a Son, let the Lord of the 5th.

House receive the Lord of the first, the Moon, or either of them, if you would Peti∣tion a Bishop, or Ecclesiastical person let the Lord of the 9th. receive the Lord of the first, the moon or either of them, if from the King, then let the Lord of the 10th. receive the Lord of the Ascendant, the moon, or either of them; if your expecta∣tion be from a freind, then let the Lord or the 11th House receive the Lord of the first, the moon, or ei∣ther of them; Farther, it you Peti∣tion, or seek to any person signified by Saturne, as Antient men, Iews, or persons of mean condition or the like, let the Cusp of the 11th House be in Capricorn, Aquary, or Libra, or at leastwise in some of the Digni∣ties of Saturn.

If you Petition or seek to a Scribe, a Merchant or young person Signifi∣ed by Mercury, let the Lord of the 11th House be in some of the Dig∣nities of Mercury, omitting the Dig∣ties of face, which is the weakest of all Dignities, Atabarus an antient

Author adviseth that Mercury be joyned to Iupiter or Venus, and ap∣plying to the Lord of the Ascendant, in all Petitions or requests from any person, and this is taken as a general fortitude, as also if posible aptate the proper Significator of the thing, which you would obtaine, or things which you Petition for; the first House always signifies the party petitioning, and the 7th. House the party Petiti∣oned, therefore let the Ascendant be free from any affliction of the Malevolents, and the 7th. House free from their Malignant aspects, & if you cannot do this, nor observe the former directions in Electing your time, your business then shall be destroyed your expectation, frustra∣ted & brought to nothing, and that af∣ter it seems probable to be effected.

Now if your request shall be for money to beg or borrow, or to re∣ceive it upon due or the like, then aptate or fortify the Lord of the As∣cendant, and his Lord, with the a∣foresaid Significators, and if it may with conveniency, let the Lord of the Ascendant behold the Lord of
