Ma ny may wonder at firlt, that this Native Ihould marry twice, Tz» Lord of the Seventh, being in Y a a barren Signe, and Retrograde there: but if chey lhall confider, that the Moon is nearly in Sextile of 5 , and policed in Signum Bi-corporeum, and that her Difpoiitor is located in m , a fruitful Signe ; and the Sun and $ are fT T ^ H e 2> rranf-

The Figure is as himfelf did it ; onely the Latitudes of the Planets I have taken from the Ephemérides of David Origanm ; whom I perceive this Na

His is the Nativity o f my loving Friend, Mr. Pincent wing • a Perfon by his many and pain
ful Labours, very well known unto , notonely the Eng- lifh Nacion, butfe-veral other parts of the World* He is a Man-fo indufirious in the Mathe
matical Studies , that thereby he hath notonely brought Honour untohim- felf, but Fame unto the Englifh Nation : focurioufly careful hath he been in the framing of his ¿Agronomical Tables, and that by the beii Obfer vat ions, [without wrefiing,:or falfe reducing them, as fomein thèirs lately have done]
that 1 dare affirm they will not in many Ages be bettered. Nay,fuchpains;
hath he taken in the Motion o f <■? 3 and fo exàéf is he in the Tables of Equa
tions, & c " ■ ■ ■■ ■ that both our Universities (wherein are many excellent Attronomers ) have hoc onely commended , but admired his Pains and good Success therein. . And, I have heard divers o f them to fay , (and am confi
dent thereof my felf) he hath been fo happy and fortunate in what he hath done therein, that (were it poflible) he hath furpafled the Learned, and to be admired Kepler • unto whom the World, for his skill in Agronomie, are continually paying Thanks.
Thisour Native (not aihamed of the Starsjuhto whom>âS fecondCaufès,he owechhis Skill and Credit thereby obtained) at my Requeft, waspleafedhbc onelÿ to permit his Geniture (in bis Life-time) to be printed, bur to fend it me calculated by his own Hand, in a Letter inclofed; part whereof was thus : •
_ _ S 1 r,——/ bave received your Letter about a week^Jiitce , and take it dt afgnal Ktndnefs • and more cfpeciaily3 that you have me in remembrance, as to infer t my Nativity : to which end ( though I have been from home all this week^) J have here inclofed the Figure, which is fet—~to April q.

In this N ativity,, & afeends the Horofcope ; and Spica Virginis, an émi
nent fixed Scat, is Horofcopical : $, Lady thereof, is in >£, in Trine of the Moon in $ in the ninth Houfe; andin (anunufual) Reception with % : S 1 the Patron o f Arcs and Sciences, is in t , in a great Reception o f S ~ and there are in the Scheme no lefs then four Planets elfeûtiàlly dignified :
viz,, ©j 1p, £ and 2 ; cwo o f them in their Exaltations» arid two in their own Hdufes.
Which Teftimonies are o f admirable Signification and Teridencie ; and do nbrbarely procure Credit and fame unto this Native , but that which is the natural and proper Support thereof, viz, a competent Fortune and Efiate.
Arid ro denote chat the more eminent and durable , the Sun calls an arnica- bid ATpeftto© » and the Moon and $ the fame to the Cufp o f the fécond Houfe. This Native hath acknowledged unto me» that G o n hath bléffèd Mm ¡with a moderate Fortune ; and hath made his Studies arid fcddeavours
happy unto him that way, ' :
: A il the Angles of the Nativity are pofleffed by Cardinal. Signes* andin that tefpe&his Geniture is equal to chac famous Pbyfitian*s> Sir Theodore Jkfajèr» • Who for Skill* and happy Succefsin his Profeflion » waseileemed the Wonder o f his time : and there was reafon fufficient for the fame : for all the éminent aridfamous A&ions o f the W o rld * depend upon the Æqui- noâial and Solflitial Signes ; as all Aftrologers confent : if fo, then certainly that Perfon that fhall have them all upon the chief places of the Figure of his Nativity, muft (naturally, and of confequence) perform fome more then ordinary Action in his Generation. But this quoad » as the Native fhall ei- tber be Scholar* Souldier or Artifl.
W h e n this Native began fîrll of all to write publickly, viz,, in the twenty fécond year o f his Age ; he had the Sun direéféd ad SextUnm Veneris, Lady o f his Horofcope, and this in *5, her great Dignities : an eminent Argument o f the happy (and deferved ) Entertainment his W ritin gs have met With in the W o rld .
Many more things might be obferved in the Figure » arid in the EfFe&s o f Dire£bons happening therefrom ; but my Défigne is onely to bé an Obfec- vator in Generals, and therefore I fhall forbear all further Dhquifitiori. |
