Of the true Crysis or Criticall and Judiciall

The true Crysis is foun out by the "otion of

place to the sign' egree an "inute in which

she was place at the parties *rst falling sic%'

therefore for *ning the e#act Crysis' or Critical

ayes' obser!e these ensuing rules.

1.At the ti"e of the parties *rst falling sic%'

let the place of the 8oonbe e#actly



151/158

recti*e: note in what sign' egree' an

"inute of the 3oicac% she is then place.

2.-bser!e when she co"eth to the s>uare

thereof' for that is the *rst Crysis.

J.hen the 8oonco"es to her true

opposition' !i&. To the opposite place in the

which she was at the parties *rst falling

sic%' then is the 2. Crysis.

E.hen she co"es to the ne#t (>uare' it is

the J Crysis.

5.hen the 8oonhath run roun the

)ea!ens' an co"es to the !ery sa"e



152/158

sign' egree an "inute' in the which she

was place at the ti"e of the parties *rst

falling sic%' it is the fourth Crysis.

$ow the uiciall ayes are the "ile between

the two Crysis' there "ay be iscerne also an

alteration of the isease' of suen change

thereof' when the 8oon co"es to be istant

fro" her true place' at the ti"e of the parties

*rst falling sic% E5 egrees' so li%ewise when

she is istant O0 egrees' an also when she is

istant 1J5 egrees: an as the Crysis is the

suen change of the isease' or alteration for

better or worse' !i&. Tening either to health' or



153/158

a further sic%nesse' so the ayes criticall' an

ecretory' shew a "ore certaine an sure

;uge"ent' whereby the Physitian "ay fully

iscerne which way the isease will ten' or

whereby the Crysis "ay be e#actly ;uge' for

the ecretory or crytical ayes' eclares a

"ore sure ;uge"ent of the in*r"ity aicting'

!i&. hether it will be "ore powerfull' or in a

lesse "easure at those ti"es' when the e#act

Crysis is' for when the Crysis is' there is a

sharp contention betwi#t nature an the

isease' an if at the ti"e of this Crysis' nature

is "ore pre!alent then the isease' it is then a



154/158

goo signe4 but on the conrary' if the sic%nesse

pre!aile' then the crysis is angerous' but

shall lea!e the prosecution of these things until

so"e other opportunity be o


155/158

"ale!olent or "alignant Planets: an

further obser!e' at the ti"e of the true

crysis' whether she be in con*guration with

the Lor of the house' or Lor of the '

for if she shall be at the ti"e of the crysis

in any "ale!olent aspect of the Lor of the

' it is an ill sign' so li%ewise if she shall be

aicte by the Lor of the ' it gi!es great

cause to ;uge the eath of the sic% party

upon that crysis.

2.f she be then going to the s>uare or

opposition of the Lor of the ' the isease

an sic%nesse encreaseth' if she be



156/158

fortunately aspecte at the ti"e of the

crysis' by upiter or Denus' an they not

Lors of the ' ' or 12 houses' it is a goo

crysis.

J.The 8oon transiting the cusps of the 12' '

or ' at the ti"e of the crysis' eath or

prolongation of the isease is to be feare.

E.n uiciall ayes' the 8oon fortunate an

well aspecte' eclares a goo Crysis to be

e#pecte: but if she be unfortunate' she

eclares the contrary.



157/158

(o"e oe thin%e that the se!enth an

fourteenth ayes are criticall' an that these

ayes after the *rst falling sic% of the party' are

the *rst an secon crysis' which is a !ery

absur opinion' in regar that the criticall an

ecretory ayes procee not fro" inferiour

causes' as so"e "en thin%e' for the learne

oe obser!e' that the 8oonhath great

in=uence an o"inion upon our inferiour

boies4 whereby the hu"ors are stirre up by

her "otion' so that thereby the true crysis of

the isease is eclare: an in regar the 8oon

so"eti"es "o!es !ery swiftly' an againe at



158/158

other ti"es !ery slowly' being "any ti"es

unconstant in her "otion' therefore she

"a%eth the true crysis' not e!ery se!enth ay'

as "any concei!e: but of these "atters shall
