Scorpio.

The Seal of Scorpio must be made of pure Iron in the day and hour of Mars, when the Sun en∣ters Scorpio, which happens about the 12, 13, or 14 day of October: And in the same hour let one side of the Lamen be engraven with his Cha∣racters. Afterwards, when the Sun is entered into Aries, let the other side be engraven. It may be applied at any time when you will.

Scorpio.

It is a most excellent Remedy against all Poy∣son and Diseases thereby infected. It is excel∣lent and admirable for Souldiers, Captains, and such as are in daily Controversies: Also, if such an Animal as follows be made of pure Iron, when Mars is Lord of the yeer, and the Sun en∣ters the first degree of Scorpio; afterwards when

Mars is in his own House in Aries, let it be en∣graven as follows. Then let it be applied in the hour of Mars: the House wherein it is hanged, it defendeth safe from all Scorpions; and all Ser∣pents that are alive will flie out of it: it is a most excellent Remedy against all venemous bi∣tings: mightily helpeth Souldiers in Fights: and is very good against the Leprosie to be worn, and the Patient to drink potable Gold.

Let it be engraven as this Figure.

Let there be assixed a Ring of pure Gold to the Tayle thereof, that it may be worn hanging about the Neck with the Head downwards. It is a certain Remedy to drive away all Flies from the Bed where it is hanged.
