by an ill Figure, the diftemper lies in the head, and al(b in that member or part of the body reprefented by the Figure and Idea.

THe firft Houfe, his Ruler, Idea and Figure, Forimid Major and Pofulus^ hath fignification of the fpirit orminde.
Now if you finde the firft Houfe affiifted, Fonuna Ma]oT afflifted, atid the fifth Houfe, and an ill Figure in the fourth *, you may conclude the diftemper hath feized the whole body and minde alfo, of the fick party. See Pifo. ; ■■ c
If Zazel afflift the firft Houfe, and Fortuna Majot Ot Minor at the fame time in G or d' of him, the fick party is troubled in minde chiefly about the things of the world 5 and about lofles and crofles in eftate. See Fijh.
Hifmael being Ruler of good Figures, may be in evil Houfes or parts of the Earth ; and then he afflifts th^ Significators (for you muft know, Hifmael as he may be difpofed) may be an infortune and do mifchief , even ^ Zazd and Barzahet) the Qiierent is troubled in minde, about Religious Tenents. MKedemtl-, it is about Love- toys: If Barzahel or Taphthartharath ^ it is twen-^ ty to one but the fick party is Frenetiqiie : by this Example you may underftand where the diieafe is,

Shall the difeafe heChromque or Acuu ?
IN the Rcfolution of this, you are to confider the complexion of the perfon, hisage^and the time of the year 5 for the knowledge of thefe conduce much to the difcovery of the certainty of the matter propounded : Diftafes in /iutum?i and Winter , are ufually reputed Chronical or Long, but more Long in Winter then in Autumn: In Spring and Summer, Acute or Short, but more AcHte in Spring then in Summer. So infirmities afflifting young perfons, or thofe in the firft half of their age ; likewife Melancholy and Phlegmatique perfons are fubjed to Chronical di(ea(es5 but Sanguine and Cholerick perfons to Acute. But becaufe Sir Chri* ftgfher Hey don in his Book of Aftrology, hath given you the Reafons of thefe things , we refer you to them for inftruftion. For the Nature of the difeafe in this Art is taken from the Ruler and Idea that poflefles the Figure in the firft hloufe and fixth Houfe : And the length or (hortnefs of the difeafe, is known by the Fi- gures moveable, common or dxed.
An ill Figure fixed in the fixth, prcfjgeth a lafting ficknefs ; a moveable Figure in the fixth,gone after into the tenth Houfe ; and if the Figure be good, as Fortuna Major ^ Aurnm TotahikmW cure the party of his difeafe; fhroatesi ,
Ifa Figure in the firft Houfe or the fixth remove in ^ or A to a good Figure, in the tenth, it denotes the difeafe to be fpcedily cured by good Medicine, and- (hews it to be of no long continuance.
But if the firft or fixth Figure, or either of them, re- move and be in D, cP or company of ill Figures, the difeafe will be both long and tedious : and if this happen

in fixed Figures, the difeafe will be the longer. P/;f.

What is the caufe of the diflemper ?
THe caufe of the diftemper is known from the pofi- tion of the fignificators of ficknefs aforefaid, in ei- ther of the four Triplicities ; for therein they (hew the predominant humour that is peccant. • Jarchas*
If in your Figure, they or the moft of them are mo» ved into Houfes governed by fiery Idea's , they de- clare the diftemper to have its Original fromCholer; whence Fevours and all fuch difeafes proceed, C(7r- ndlus Agrippa*s lel'ifmes.
But if the Significators be altered into Airy places, blood is then predominant in the body , and the difeafe is thence caufed ; as Gouts^LeprofieSje^c. If in Earthly^ they declare the caufe of the difeafe to have its original from Melancholy ; and thofe difeafes are ufually long and tedious, as Gonfumptions, Agues, &c. Zepbar Kimcim,
If the Significators be governed by Watery Idea's and Figures in Watery Houfes,it denotes the infirmity to proceed from cold and moift caufes, as Flegmj and the difeafes principally are Coughs, Ptifique, and all noxious difeafes of the ftomack. Agrippa's Jelifntes.
When the pro) eft ions of the Significators cannot throughly inform you of the Nature of the diftemper: Confider the nature of the Rulers as well as the Idea's, Figures and Houfes ; for they much affift in the difcovery of the caufe of a difeafet PbroaUs^

Shall the ficJ^partj recover^ or die of the infirmity ?
T N your Figure^ if the firft go from good, the party
will grow every day worfe then other; and if Afpeft- td by the D or cP of ill Figures in the fourth and eighth Houfesj the party dies: But when your Fi- gure is illj and removes to good places in good company andafpeftj there is great hopes the infirm party will re- coverr
The fignificators officknefs no ways afflifted, but free from the ill Afpefts of the MalevolentSj declare great hopes of the recovery of the fick. Any Figure in the firft, and Fortuna Major in the fixth/eventh and twelfth, the party dies. Gerrard,
If a Figure projected into the eighth remove into an Angle, and the firft remove cadent or afflifted by infor- tunes, it prefages Mortality.
If a Figure in the firft Houfe remove into the eighth, it declares the ir recovery of the fick.
If the eighth (hill be in the tenth, and the firft in the fourth, fixth or feventh Houfes, afflicted by ill compny and afpea 5 the party (liall furely die.

Of Servants^ Shall thej J^ro^e jnft or k^avijh ?
"pHe tenth Houfe is generally the Houfe of the Matter or Lord, &c. But when this queftion is by a Ma- tter propounded unto you, give any Figure that is pro- jefted in the firft Houfe to fignifie him, and the Figure in the fixth to fignifie the Servant : and if amity and love be betwixt thofe two Figures, their Idea's and Ru- lers, and the Rulers and Idea's that naturally govern the
Houfes
