Ficfi, when their Honfes: or' Exaltation s are oppofice one to tbe other, and. Co Saturn is an enemy to both Lnrninacies, Jupiter to Mercury, and e con era ·Mars to Venus.

~! ;~.;PJantti are Inlmlcal when their condition. differ; fo there is enmity . between Sol and Sa~ turn .for on e lovesuhe Coiirq' and the other the Counu'Y, Jupiter is enemy to Mal's, for he loves peace and jufllcc, Mars violence and opprefflons; Mars is cncn1Y to Venus, for he rejoyceth ill the field; fhe in the bed; he .loves to be pu.t\" Jiqu.(':1 the playes Ieaft in fight.

The' eighth Gbfervation is of the Decumbture of John Bapfift- 7:riandtl/It,one of Veron.

THis is a -very remarkable obfervation, .for , whi]fi this unfortunate young man (being :.8 yccrs of a~e) was a fiudent at pildua, he received a dangcrousW'ound in his right knee., bY' means of which wound at )en~th his whole Ic.S was amputated; and rhough he was moll grlvouOy afRiA:cd, fo that Phyficians did often de(paire of his lite; yet notwithftandh!g he recovercd and lived about tWO yeers, gOIng upon a

wooden leg. '.

Whether therefore you take the Sun or Moon

to be do minators of the afcendanr , it matters not much, for they are both aft\iaed by malevolents , the Moon by Conjunllion of Saturn, and the Sun by Conjun8:ion of Mars; alfo the Moon by the Quartile of Mars, an,d • the SUIl by theQ!!artile of Saturn, (0 that It 15 not to be admired that this young man was fo much opprdfcd under fo unfortunate a pofition of H~avcn,which did not yet dellroy hlnl,becaufe b~th the fortunes confpired to help thr; Lumluanes to their hlutual antifcions, Venus affilling the Moon, and Jupiter the Sun, did fomewhat repre ffe the force of the nlalevolents: of the progrdfe of the cure,and the tiOle of recoyer~, I am ignorant, for I was more follicitous to ice ho';Y the nari yes ~el1itl1re did prcdi~ fuch an acc~dent.

PrfJ~/ges by t'Je excrements of the belly ill Fevers,

F'dt. of. a.ll:> the mof] commendable Iigne is, when he that is furpr izcd wlth a Fever, rc. rains the fame cuflome in avoyding his excrements which be ordinarily ufed when his body was bdl in health.

2. Alwaies in excrements you nnil] regard the quality and quantity of the dyct; for take this for a certain ru le, and you {hall finde it never vary without a miracle, how much the excrements are-different from that,fo much worfc

is the fign.. ..

3. Laudable excrements are neither too thick n~r to thin, yet it' is worfe that they be tOO' thlck, then too thin; for afirlngency in a ~ever is

is naughesand not to be allowed. He is fitter make a Hangnlan then a Phyfician,lhat, takes care that his Patient goe orderly to ftoole.

A loofneffe in a Fever proclaimes to th world that the Patient kept jJl dyct before. 4. It is exceeding good that the colour of excrements be according to the food taken.

S It is very good that the patient go to without pain, for if nature be troubled to expel natural excrernencs ; {he wil find a harder pull of it to expell the difeafe.

6.lf the excrements be llquld.v.e. if the man that is lick of a Feaver have a loofneffc, 1lnd what comes from him, come without violence, pain or wind, it is a hopefull fign , fo~ ~a,~ure hath fuund OUt a way to turn out the difeafe at the "ack~door.

8 Worms corning forth of the body with ex .. eremenrsj, at the end of the malady, is a good fign and bopeful; but at the beginning of the fickndfe ·tis detperate j the poor worms know when nature is a aecaying,and therefore leave the body before it is breathleffe. ..

Here's a flt-ange thing, that the wormci have as much knowledge as a Phyfician.
