Section IV – Chapter IV
But, when relates to beasts and creatures belonging to
the use of man, he brings destruction causing a scarcity of them and sickness
and rottenness to those that remain; death also and infirmity in the same nature
to those men that use or eat them.
In the air he shall cause frost and snow and such as shall produce bitter
cold weather, cloudy and obscure, also pernicious, pestiferous and tempestuous,
snow and inconvenient wind and moisture, producing by corruption pernicious
and offensive creatures to mankind.
But in the sea and rivers, tempests and
shipwrecks, also difficult and dangerous navigating, a destruction and scarcity
of fish; increase and decrease of waters in the sea by fits, the over-flowing of
rivers and the eruptions of the sea banks and mischief by water.
In the earth a diminution and destruction of fruits and chiefly to
such as are more particularly for the use of man; they shall suffer by worms,
very much detriment, and caterpillars, locusts, and such like; or by inundations,
floods of water or too much abundance of rain, cold, frost, or the like, so that
many men shall die for want of bread.
[Of Jupiter when he is chief ruler, what he signifies in general]
If Jupiter is chief ruler, he causes generally an increase and plenty of things
particular to man; he elevates their condition to honour, renown and plenty,
gives health, tranquillity, peace and an increase of riches and goods, and all
things appertaining to the life of man in a natural way; increases the benefits
and goods received from princes or such as are in authority, and causes also
even these grandees to be more illustrious, enlarging their territories and
dominions, and abundantly augments their grandeur. Generally Jupiter
denotes success and happiness in everything.
To beasts belonging chiefly to the use of man, he signifies an increase, but such
as is destructive and not profitable he destroys.
The air also he tempers and makes wholesome, and sends convenient moisture
in seasons requisite for the production of the fruits of the earth, which he
multiplies and increases by his sweet influence.
The sea also for navigation shall be safe, the rivers temperate, etc.
