t,tt him vrhich hath undtrftanding compute the number of the name nf the Beafl^vphich is the numher of a Man, Thefe which were infpircd into every one at his Birth, by the very Heavens, with the con jimftion of the Stars, and brought by a power into the body, as ye may read at large in The Harmony of the World. God himfeli^ though he be onely one in Effence^yet hath divers names which expound not his divers Effences or Deities, but, certain properties flowing from him ; by which Names he doth pour down, as it were by certain Conduits on us, and all his Creatures many benefits and divers gifts by Idea's. Ten of thefe Names we fpake of in the firft Book, which give vertue to fcven and twelve, which are feated in (eventy two Places, twelve Vefiments in- clofc them in their places in every Species ; and in thefe we finde (eventy two Namesjboth of Angels and of God: And if you proceed further out of all places of Scri- pture according to the fourth Rule, you will finde fo many names of Idea's Divine and Natural, as the number of thofc Names is.
From thefe therefore, befides thofe which we have reckoned up before, is the Name of the divine Eflence, Eheia^T{"^\^^ which is tranflated «'v ; from hence they call God To oV,cthers'o«v 5 that is,the being.

Sometimes they take the four Angles j the firft Figure of them fig- nifieth the firft Letter or Vowel, the tenth the fccond Vowel, the feventh the fourth Vowel , the fourth Fi?- gure the lait Vowel.
Sometimes Names are gathered from the heads pf words, as the Name Agla^ ti^Ji!^, thsiti'^ the Mighty Gvdfor ever , taken fro n this verfe of the Holy Seri- ture ""aitji aizh '^yi l^^*^ nn>^ .- in like manner the Name Jaia^ tAifci'', from this verfe, nJTI^ t^^mn 'iniriTn^ 5 that is, Gjd^ our (jud is one God i In like manner the Name Java^ t^t&i'', from this verfe n^l^ TT't '^Tfci "»n''5 thsithy Lft there he light ^a?2d there was light: In like manner the Name v^r^rzVi;?,fc4nnfci1fc^) from this verfe irtfe^l'l HMDn in>n'«^ Xyir^n fclWnnt* innn ; that is, one principle of his Unity , one be- ginning of his individuality, his viciffitude is one thing : and this Name H^c^/j^,t^:inn,is extracted from this verfe, HT> n^'^D nDT» ; Iheholy and blejfed One : lathis like manner, this Name 1\i;'» is found in the heads, ofthefe two vcrfes, z/fz. •»^ini'7 U?SU"" 5 thatis, 'I^«- tiljhe Mejjiah fi4ll come ^ and the other verfe n^^ n^11Q'£?5 that is, His ISlame abides till the end: Thus alfo is the Name Jmen fiom this verfe D'^y^ln 138^ 5 that is, Jhervicksdnotfo^ but the Letters are tranfpo- fed : So by the final Letters of this verfe,nQnD\y HQ''^ 5 that is, T'o rney K>hat^ or what is his Name?

Therefore thefc Rulers , Idea's and Figures have not their power in Operations fro-n themfelves, as they are Charafters, or Telefms, or Figures 5 but from the occult Divine Powers, working by thein in the Mindes of thofe who projeft them : By which Divine Powers, or Names , the fecret Power of God, as it were through Conduit-pipes vi tranfoiitted into the Rulers, Idea's and Figures 5 and by mod pure converfation of the Divine Names are made the habitation of God, and capable of the divine Influences : Whofocver therefore uftth rightly thefe Rules and Figures , with that purity of minde , in that manner and order as they were de- livered , (hall both obtain and do many wonderful things.

FOr the refolution of this queftion,you are firft to ob- ferve in vvhat part of the Figure the fortunate Ruler and Ideals are incorporated into good Figures j and ac* cording to their poiition Judge.
]f propitious Figures be in the firft Houfe , the twelfth or eleventh Houfes 5 the Querent will be moft happy in his infancie : If in the tenth, ninth, eighth, in the fecond partof hisage : If in thefe ve nth, fixth, or fifthj of his middle age: If in the fourth, third, fe- cond, his latter days will be moft happy.
When the Significators of life are ftrong , and figtiific long life , you may to every houfe allow twelve years ,

if the Figures be fortunate by company, Houfe and Afpeft 5 for then it is poflTible the Querent (if he fol- low the Rules in my Book , which is publillied, and wears the name of ihe holy Guide) may live more then one hundred and ^ky years ; if God blefs him to un-- deriland our fecret happinefs.
toward n>batfart of the World may the Querent dired his eourfe to proffer P
1X7E know it to be an evil Epidenical forperfonsto ^ undertake Voyages , and other weighty matters, &e. much to their prejudice and difadvantage. And although all places are alike to him that made the Earth, yet they are not fo to men that poflefs it : Therefore it will be requifite for thofe that judge queftions of this kind to obferve thefe following Rules, or ac lealt as ma- ny of them as he (hall ufe.
Th« Earth is divided into four quarters, Eaft,Weft, NorthjSouth 5 and thefe four quarters are again fub- ciivided, viz. The firft Houfe is full Eaft, and the twelfth Houfe being next unto it turns Eaft and by South, the eleventh next unto that is South-eaft, and the Mid-heaven is South, e^c. According to the quar- ters of Heaven, thus divided and fubdivided, you are to look in which of thofe places you finde the pro- inifing Figure, e^c. Viz, Jlcquifjiio^L£titiay Amifw^ fuella^ PnpuluSi Via,
Now the part of Fortune is very obfervable, and it is found thus: Adde all the points of the Figure together, ;and divide them by twelve , and what remains denotes jthe place where you muft put the part of Fortijne

If one, in the firft Houfe j if two remains, it is in the fecondj if three, in the third Houfe, c^c. And this is the charafter of it, ©.
If it be in the firft Houfe, it imports much gain to happen to the Qiierent by his own labour and induftry, c^ecially if with good Figures in good company; but if it be with ill, it much abates its good figiiifi- cations.
To the place where thefe good Figures arc, the part of Fortune dire6^s the Querent.
If good Figures be in the tenth , and Pars 'FortHTi£ dired the Querent South j if they be in the ninth, tell the Q^uerent it is his beft way to go South-weft ; if in the Weft, it is good to go Weft : and fo of the reft.
Confider ferioufly the Nature of the Querents dc- fire, whether it be for Health, RicheSjlong Life,Honour, Friends, &c. that he hopcth to enjoy by his un- dertaking; and by* rightly underftanding the queftion, you (hall anfwer the Querents defire more rea- dily. ' -
If it be for Health he would remove his habitation j where or in what quarter i he Figure in the firft Houfe removes, and is fortunate by company and Afpe6t, di- reft him that way : If for Riches, take notice of the fe- cond and 0 : If for honour, confider Fortuna Major, and what Figure is in the tenth : If Friends, obfervc the Lord of the tenth: andfo may you anfwer any queftion fafely.

Of 4- ship at Sea ^ her fifetj or prejudice,
TTHis Queftion by the Heb rew, Caldcan, Greek, Ara* bian, Latine and Egyptian Doftprsj is attributed to the ninth Houfe : But the Learned men of our Nation, as Johfi Vigbjf Efq. and Captain Blackrnany know the judgement belongeth to the firft Houfe ; as they have proved by experience.
The parts of the Ship are thus divided, and attributed to the houfes.
The firil Houfe fignifies the Breaft ^ the fecond Houfe under the Breaft towards the Water ; the third Houfe the Rudder or Stern j the fourth Houfe, the Floor of the Ship or Bottom-, the fifth Houfe, the Top above Wa- ter; the fixth Houfe, the Belly of the Ship ; the fe- venth, that part above the Breaft in the Water; the eighth , where Mariners abide , the Cook-room and Powder-room i the ninth, the Mariners , the hold where the Merchants goods are ftowed ; the tenth, the Ends of the Ship ; the eleventh, the Governour or Cap- tain; the twelfth, the Oars. .
