A Prognostication for the same yeere M. D. XCI.

Conteyning a short discourse of the Eclipse of the Moone, and of the quar­ters of the yeere, with other necessarie Rules, for the better vnderstanding of the Almanacke going before: wherin are Rules for the finding the planetarie hower very easely and pleasantly, as also the rising and setting of the Sunne any day throughout the yeere, referred with the other, to the same Meridian.

Cum priuilegio Regiae Maiestatis.

To his very friende P. L.

ALL the Learned (friende P. L.) agree with one voyce, that CHRIST our sa­uiour was conceyued at the Sunnes en­traunce into Aries, and borne vpon the shortest day, when the Sunne entred into Capricorne: wherefore to set Christmas vpon the shortest day, and draw the Ka­lender backe in proportion thereunto, me thought, was very expedient: and the rather, because of all in generall, a reformation long tyme hath been desired and a fruition of the Feastes, vpon their ancient times. For consideryng that the immoueable Feastes ought to keepe the same dayes they vsed to do in euery Moneth before, it of necessitie followeth, that they must be kept at other tymes (in respect of the motions of the Sunne) then for many yeeres they haue done. As for Easter, and the moueable Feastes which folowe the course of the Moone, they were by Constant. magnus once corrected: but ig­norance of obseruation in continuance of tyme hath bred great er­rour sithens, in so much as many yeeres they misse their due tymes a moneth at least, and therefore of late haue had a seconde Refor­mation: which although it be very truely performed for Easter, and it append [...]nces, yet the Monethes not reuocated to the true degrees of the Sunne, deserued a new annimaduersion. And there­fore friende P. L. I haue not attempted this, as a newe fangle, and louer of [...]ouelties (the which I haue alwayes hated) but as a fur­therer of the trueth, which I alway haue loued,

Vale, et mecum fru­ere 4. Kalendus Aprilis. 1590.

To the Reader.

IT was my chaunce (curteous Reader) this last Lent, to be in company of dy­uers, as well Worshipfull as Learned: amongst whom, vpon occasion of talke geuen, grew sundry argumentes about the true keeping of Ea [...]ter: and there­vpon, as vpon an adiunct and thing ap­pendant [...] about the reformyng of the [...]: some maynteyning the old, some the Romish Kalender, cor­rected by Gregorie, and some impug­ning them both, as not brought to their due and ancient Periodes: Which Conference bad awhyle, pro et con, and apparent manifestation of the trueth shewed for a thirde correction to be required, the conclusion was an intreatie of me (who had borne a part amongst them) that at my conuenient leasure, I woulde attempt the same, agaynst the next yeere, consideryng that of this yeere then was welnigh a quarter spent: which motion made by suche as I coulde not well denie, and partly that the trueth myght appeare, I willingly haue attempted. Beholde there­fore a thyrde correction, both true and exacte, wherein (as in the last) none of the immoueable Feastes are altered from their dayes of the monethes they were placed in the olde Kalender, So Easter is appoynted to the next Sunday followyng the first full Moone after the Sunnes entraunce into Aries, and the moueable Feastes in proportion to it, and euery expect satisfied: The which with all other happines, I wysh thee hartely to enioy.

Vale.

24. Aprilis. 1590.

Elections.

IT is good to Purge, the Moone being in the wa­tri trigon, vz. in Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces. In Cancer by Electuaries, in Scorpio by Po­tions, in Pisces by Pilles: And yf neede be, in Libra and Aquarius, which are indifferent for any Purging medicine.

The tymes of the yeere fittest, are the Spring and Haruest: the worst, Sommer and Winter: the one for it exceding colde, the other for excessiue heate.

For letting of Blood,

There are two tymes,

  • the one of necessitie.
  • the other by election.

The fyrst is to be vsed out of hand, or els great peryll of death may ensue to the partie, as in the Plurisies, and Squinansies.

The latter is to be chosen after the motion of the Moone through the .xii. signes, in this sort.

  • Let the Phlegmatike be let blood the Moone being in Aries, except in the head.
  • Let the Phlegmatike be let blood the Moone being in Sagittari, except in the thighes and hippes.
  • Let the Melancholik be let blood the Moone being in Libra, in the first. 15 degrees, except in the buttockes.
  • Let the Melancholik be let blood the Moone being in Aquarius, except in y e legges.
  • Let the Chollerike be let blood the Moone being in Cancer, except in the brest.
  • Let the Chollerike be let blood the Moone being in Scorpio, except in y e priuities.
  • Let the Chollerike be let blood the Moone being in Pisces, except in the feete.

The Sanguine in any of these.

Minution is prohibited in Leo, for that it is the house of the Sunne, who is alwayes repugnant to the Moone in nature. Also it is prohibited in Gemini, for that commonly the minution is by some Ueines in the armes and handes: and no man ought to touche that member with Iron, which the Moone then gouerneth.

Furthermore, it is good from the change to the fyrst quarter for youth: from the fyrst quarter to the full, for youth and m [...]ddle age: from the full to the last quarter, for myddle age and olde age: from [Page] the last quarter to the change, for olde age only, according to the verse,

Luna vetus veteres, iuuenes noualuna requirit.
The Moone in age, the ancient sort,
Their veynes may open best:
The younger sort tyll Moone be newe,
Must let their veynes haue rest.

Last, the age of the partie to be let blood is much to be considered: for none before .xiiii. or after .lxx. yeeres, ought to be let blood: the first, for slendernes of the veynes: the later, for debilitie of nature, vnles the olde men be fleshy, full of blood, and strong.

For Bathing.

  • The Moone in Libra or Pisces, for clenlynes.
  • The Moone in Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius, for grosse bodyes.
  • The Moone in Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces, for dry bodyes.

For sweatyng, vse the same consideration which is in bathing.

Cut heare, the Moone in Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius, or Pisces, and in the encrease.

Sow S [...]edes which you woulde haue to yeelde fruite the same yeere, the Moone being in moueable signes, as Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorne: it wyll be best when she is in Virgo, Capricorne, or Cancer, if she be increasing in number. The like is to be sayd of Pisces.

But to plant Trees for continuance, let it be whylest she is in Tau­rus, Leo, or Aquarius.

Fell Tymber from S. Barnabies day in Iune, tyll the first Kalendes of Ianuarie, in the wane of the Moone.

Fell fire wood, that the stocke may soone spring, from the change to the first quarter.

To remooue Graffes, or young Trees, at the last quarter of the Moone.

Good to gelde or libbe Cattle, in Sagittarius, Capricornus, or Pisces, the Moone encreasing.

Of the Eclipse of the Moone.

THe Moone this yeere shalbe Eclipsed the .xx. day of December, at .iii. of the clocke in the morning, and almost a quarter, she being then in her proper mantion Cancer, almost corporally conioyned with the malignant planet Saturne, and within two degrees of her Dragons head in the seconde house, the house of substaunce and riches: which what it may presage, I leaue it to others to discusse. My meanyng is not to vse long and tedious discoursing in a matter not very necessary, and familiar to euery one, consideryng the yeerely passions which happen to these great lyghtes: and therefore with prayer to God, to auert the euyll threatned thereby, I cease for this poynt.

The beginning of the foure Quarters of this yeere: And fyrst of the Spring.

The Spring taketh his commencement and beginning the .xi. day of March, at two of the clocke .l. minutes after noone, at such tyme as the Sunne entreth into the first scruple of Aries, making the day and nyght then equall, and the aeqinoctium vernum, whereby I gather that the yeere is lyke to proue indifferent fruiteful, and temperate, neither subiect to many stormes nor shewers, neyther hindered by too exceeding drought, so that there is no want, penurie, or scarcitie, by Gods permission to be feared.

Of the Sommer.

THe Sommer beginneth the .xii. day of Iune, at .xi. of the clocke and .xxxviii. scruples in the forenoone, when the Sunne entreth into the fyrst minute of Cancer, making his solstitium estiuum, longest day, and returneth againe Southward from whence he came. This season wyll proue something remisse in heate.

Of the Autumne.

THe Autumne commenceth the .xiii. day of September, at .xi. of the clocke .xiii. minutes at nyght, the Sunne entring the first scruple of Libra, the aequinoctiall signe, and now hastning towarde the Winter tropicke, describeth an equalitie betwixt nyght and day. This quarter wyll proue something colder then the nature thereof requireth, and more moyst then vsuall.

The Winter.

WInter beginneth the .xii. day of December this yeere, at iiii. of the clocke .xiv. minutes after noone, at the Sunnes first touching of the first scruple of Capricorne, his sollti­tium brumale, and winter Tropicke, making the shortest day and longest nyght: and endeth at the Sunnes entrance into Aries next folowyng. This quarter wylbe very colde, and kindly.

To know Sunne rising and setting.

TUrne to the day of the moneth you desire to know, and if it be the .i. the .v.x.xv.xx.xxv. or .xxx. you may from your day looke towardes your right hand in a right line, and so vnder their ti­tles finde them: but yf it be none of these dayes, then you must note what the difference is in minutes betweene the next day which is precisely put downe before your day, and also the next so set downe which foloweth, and thereof take such part, or from your day abate such part as the dayes encrease or decrease proportionally, wherein yf you borrow or reiect a minute or two, to make euen your accompt, it forceth not greatly: As for example. I desire to know the Sunnes rysing and setting the .iii. of Ianuarie, agaynst which day I finde no numbers at all, wherfore according to my rule, I must looke for some day precedent, noted as here the first is, and lykewyse for some day fol­lowyng, as is the .v. which done, I seeke the difference, and fynde it .iiii. and that I must vse proportionall substraction, for that the num­bers decrease: and therefore I say, yf the first day the Sunne rise at [Page] viii. of the clocke and .iiii. minutes, that the .ii. it shal rise at .viii. and .iii. min. and the .iii. at .viii. and .ii. minutes, and so my demande satisfied. Here you see that euery day looseth iust one minute, and that the diffe­rence falleth out meete with the dayes, notwithstandyng that it had beene a minute more, or lesse: as for example .iii. or .v. you might haue accompted .iii. or .v.iiii. at your pleasure, without any great er­rour, and so haue made the difference match to the number of dayes.

To finde the planetarie or arti­ficiall houre vpon the day.

SEe how many howers, your houre of the clocke is from Sunry­sing, and multiplie these houres by .60. and diuide them by the quantitie of your artificiall hower agreeable to the day, and the quotient sheweth how many artificiall howers and minutes of an other artificiall hower (if there be any annexed) be past: wherefore adde one to the number of howers found, & that is the hower required.

Example.

I would know the first of Ianuarie what Planet reigned at .iii. of the clocke in the after noone? I therefore abate .viii. of the clocke iiii. minutes, which is the Sunne ryse from .xv. howers .0. min (for so is iii. of the clocke to be reckoned, that is to say, the after noone howers are to be added to .x [...]i and then Sunrysing to be abated) and so there remayneth .vi howers .lvi. which are vi. houres .lvi. minutes. Now the howers brought to minutes by multiplication of .60. are 360. vnto which adde .56. the minutes which are besides your howers, and so wyll the Sunne amount to .416. which diuided by .39. minutes and .20. secondes (for so you must vnderstande the quantitie of the ar­tificiall hower to be set downe in min. and secondes) yeeldeth the tenth hower: whereby you may conclude, that the tenth Planet, that is to say ☽, by course reckoned from the planet of the day, is the planet which then hath finished his course, and that the planet that is next in order folowyng hath begunne his course, and then reigneth for that hower and [...]yme. Adde therfore one vnitie to your number .10. found, and enter the table folowyng, and so shall you finde Saturne reigning. If you finde in the quotient howers and minutes, they shewe so many [Page] howers past, and so many minutes more of another artificiall hower next folowyng: yea of that hower which your vnitie added, and the rest altogeather sheweth. Note, as often as you cannot diuide your di­stance brought into minutes by the planetarie hower reduced to se­condes, you must multiple it agayne by .60. and so bryng it into se­condes, as in the last example is done. Furthermore, yf your day pro­posed haue neyther numbers of Sunne rising, nor quantitie of pla­netarie hower, you must do for both, as you were taught to do for the Sunne rising, and then proceede with your rule last rehearsed.

The Table seruing to finde the planetarie hower vpon the day, where the first colume conteyning the figures 1. 2. 3. 4. and so to .12. standeth for the number of howers, the next colume for Sunday, the thyrde for Munday. &c.

[figure]

To know the planetarie hower for the nyght.

ABate the quantite of your planetarie hower of that day from 120. minutes, and the remayne sheweth the quantitie of the ar­tificiall hower for the nyght: which founde, proceede as for the day, adding your howers after midnight to .12. and so taking your di­staunce betweene Sunne sette and your howers, by abatyng the hower and minute of sunne sette, from your tyme proposed, coun­ [...]yng sunne sette the beginning of the first planetarie hower for the nyght, and so successiuely, as this Table sheweth.

The Table for the nyght, where the lyke columes are referred to the lyke dayes of the weeke, as before.

[figure]

To know at what hower of the clocke such a Planet reigneth.

BUt yf you desire to knowe at what hower of the clocke such a Planette beginneth his reigne, then multiply the quantitie of the planetarie hower, by one lesse then the number of the plane­tarie hower, whether it be .1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.7.8.9. 10. 11. 12. or any number vnder .13. because there are but .12 howers for the day, and so many for the nyght, and diuide the product by 60. yf the diuidente be minuts, or els by .3600. if secondes: and the quotient sheweth your desire: if any thing remaine, they are minutes, besides the howers of the clocke: which howers and minutes founde in the quotient, adde to sunryse, yf it be for the day, or to Sunset, yf for the night, and so haue you your purpose. Example. For the same day aboue rehearsed, I woulde knowe when the .4. planet, that is ♄. reigned? Wherefore I multiplie .39. min. 20. secondes by .3. and diuide by .3600. and thereof commeth .2. howers of the clocke .20. minutes, and .20 secondes, which added to .8. howers and .4. mi­nutes, being sunryse, bringeth .10. of the clocke .24. minutes, and 20. secondes, when the .4. Planet began his reigne.
