Section IV – Chapter XIV
especially in the last fifteen degrees thereof; if in any earthy, e.g. Taurus,
to bulls, cows, and oxen; in Capricorn, to goats and such like, and
damage to the earth and fruits, but especially in Virgo; if in watery, damage in
and by water, shipwrecks, and the death of fish and creatures living in the
water; if in airy, there shall be many tempestuous, pernicious winds and storms,
corruption of the air, the death of many kings, and many infirmities, etc.
[Note]
And thus have I, by the blessing of God, delivered to you the natural rules and
reasons of fertility, health, sickness, wars, peace, alterations and accidents of
this life, and how to judge them by the Revolutions of the Years of the World,
eclipses of the two great lights and lamps of heaven, the Sun and the Moon,
comets and blazing-stars, the forerunners of great mutations, which we have
found in all ages God has used to send for the reclaiming of His people from
their evil ways before His wrath is poured on them. And lastly, by the Great,
Mean and Lesser Conjunctions of the celestial planets, who next under the
Great Creator, Governor and Causer of all causes, are governors of the world
and causes of all things therein in a general and natural way.
Wherefore to Him alone that orders and disposes all things according to his
Divine Will, and that created the heavens, earth, celestial planets and stars, and
that calls them all by their names, and that makes them differ from each other in
glory, and that gives of His free will and pleasure the knowledge of divine and
natural things to the sons of men, be ascribe all possible praise, glory, power,
dominion and thanksgiving; both now and for evermore, Amen.
With this chapter, I thought to have concluded, but since we have treated
already of the natural causes of the general accidents of the World, and that
some of the ancients have judged of these things by the falling of new years
day, and for that I have for some few years found them experimentally true, I
shall add this one chapter more for my readers recreation and sport when he is
so disposed. Yet, if he diligently observes the effects, he will find for the most
part they come very near truth, though many times on the other hand they
may deviate there from.
