This Sigil is to be made of pure ♀, and to be melted, poured out and made when the Sun enters Libra, which somtimes happens on Sun∣day the 13 or 14 of September, according to the progress of the yeer: And this is to be noted, That when Venus is the ruling Planet, or Reserva∣tor of the yeer, the Sigil will be of much more virtue, especially if those wear it, who were born under the same Planet; and if it be made and prepared for them. When ♀ is in the sign Libra, the Signes, Characters, and Words which you see in the following Figure, are to be engra∣ven in the Seal; afterwards in the day and hour of Venus, in the first or eighth hour, which Venus governs, let it be applied.
