¶ The maner of work [...]g all these aforenamed thinges, that y ^• effect may be good in their planets is, in their houres, and dayes.

[Page]THere be .vii. hearbes, y ^• haue great vertues, after y ^• mynd of Alexander the Emperour, and they had these vertues of the in­fluence of the planets. And ther­fore, euerye one of theym taketh theyr vertue from the hygher naturall powers.

¶ The first is the herbe of y ^• pla­net Saturnus, whiche is called Affodillus, Affodilly, the iuyce of it is good agaynst the payne of y ^• reynes, and legges: let them that suffer payne of the bladder, eat it the roote of it beinge a litle boy­led. And if mē possessed with euel spirites, or madde men beare it, in a cleane napkyn, they be dely­uered from their disease. And it suffere th not a deuel in y ^• house. And if chyldrē that breede theyr teeth, beare it aboute them, they [Page] shall breede them without pain. And it is good that a man beare with hym a roote of it in y ^• night for he shall not feare, nor be hurt of other.

¶ The seconde is y ^• herbe of the Sunne, whiche is called Poligonia, or Coraligiola. Thys herbe taketh the name of the Sanne: for it engēdreth greatly, & so this herbe worketh many wayes.

Other hath called this herbe Al­chone, which is the house of the Sunne. Thys herbe healeth the passyons, and griefe of the harte and the sto macke.

He that toucheth thys hearbe, hathe a vertue of hys sygne, or Planete. If any man drinke the iuyce of it, it maketh hym to do often, the acte of generation. [Page] And if any mā beare y ^e rote of it, it healeth the griefe of the eyes. And yf he beare it with him before he haue anye grief, there shall come to him no grief of his eyes. It helpeth also theym y ^t be vexed with the phrenesy, yf they beare it with them in theyr brest.

It helpeth also theym▪ that are diseased with an impostume in y ^e lunges, & maketh them to haue a good breath, and it auaileth also too the flyxe of melancholyous bloude.

¶ The thyrde is the herbe of the Moone, which is called Chyno­states. The iuyce of it purgeth the paines of the stomake, & bre [...] plates, the vertue of it declareth that it is the herbe of y ^e Moone. The floure of this herbe purgeth great splenes, & healeath them, because this herbe encreaseth & [Page] decreaseth as the Moone. It is good agaynst the sickenes of the eyes, & maketh a sharp sight. And it is good agaynst the bloud of y ^e eyes. If thou put the roote of it brayed vpon the eye, it will make thy eye merualous clere, because the light of the eyes Propinqua­tum mystion, is of the substance of the Moone. It is also good to them that haue an euell stomake or whiche can not disgeste their meat, by drinkyng the iuyce of it moreouer it is good to them that haue the swyne pockes.

¶ The fourthe hearbe is called Arnoglossa, plantayne. The rote of this herbe is merualous good agaynst the payne of the headde, because the signe of the Ramme is supposed to be the house of the planete Mars, which is the head of the whole worlde. It is good [Page] also agaynste euell customes of mans stones, and rotten & fylthy byles, because his house is y ^t sign Scorpio, because a part of it holdeth Sparma, that is the seede, which cometh against the stones wherof all lyuyng thinges be in­gendred, and fourmed. Also the iuyce of it is good too them that be sycke of y ^e pery [...]ous flyxe, with excoriation or raysyng of the bo­wels, continuall tourmentes, & some bloud yssuyng forth. And it purgeth them that drinke it, frō the syckenesses of y ^• flyx of bloud, or emoraudes, & of the disease of the stomacke.

¶ The fyft is the herbe of the planete mercurius, which is named Pentaphillō, in English cinque­foyle or the .v. leued herbe▪ of o­thers Pentadactilus, of others [Page] Sepe declinans, of certayn Cali­pe [...]olo. The roote of thys herbe brayed & made in a plaster, hea­ [...]eth woūdes & hardenes. More­ouer, it putteth away quickely y ^e swyne pockes, if the iuyce of it be drōken w ^t water. It healeth also the passiōs or griefes of the brest, if the iuyce of it be drōkē. It put­teth away also y ^• to the ache. And if the iuyce of it be holden in the mouth, it healeth al y ^e griefs of y ^e mouth. And if any mā beare it w ^t hym, it geueth wark & help. Mo­reouer if any man will aske any thing of a king or prīce, it geueth aboūdāce of eloquēce, if he haue it with hym, & he shal optayn it y ^t he shal desire. It is also good to haue y ^e iuyce of it, for the grief of the stone, & the syckenes whiche letteth a mā that he cā not pysse.

[Page]¶ The .vi. is the hearbe of y ^e pla­net Jupiter, & it is named Acha­ron, of certayn Jusquianus, Hē ­bane. The roote of it, put vppon botches, healeth thē, and kepeth the place from an inflamation of bloud. If any man shall beare it before the grefe come vpon hym he shall neuer haue a botche.

The roote of it also is profitable agaynst the goute in the fete whan it is brayed, and put vpon the place that suffereth the payn or grief. And it worketh by ver­tue of those signes, whiche haue [...]ete, and loke vpon the fete. And if the iuyce of it be dronken with hony, or with wyne & hony soddē together, it is profitable against the griefes of the lyuer, & all hys passiōs, because Jupiter holdeth the lyuer.

[Page]Lykewyse▪ it is profitable to thē that woulde do often the acte of generation, and to them y ^t desyre to be loued of women, it is good that they beare it with them, for it maketh the bearers pleasaunt and delectable.

¶ The .vii. is the herbe of y ^• pla­net Venus, and is called Pisteriō of some Hierobotane, id est, Her­bo colūbaria & verbena, veruen.

¶ The roote of this hearbe put vpon the necke, healeth y ^e swyne pockes, apostumes behynde y ^e ea­res, and botches of the neck, and suche as can not kepe theyr wa­ter,

It healeth also cuttes, & swellīg of the euell, or foundament, pro­cedyng of an inflamation, which groweth in the foundamēt, and the Emauraudes. If the iuyce of [Page] it be dronken with hony & water sodden, it dissolueth those things whiche are in lunges or lightes. And it maketh a good breath, for it saueth & kepeth the lūges and the lyghtes. It is also of greate strength in venerial pastymes, y ^e is the acte of generation. If any man put it in hys house or vyne­yarde, or in the grounde, he shall haue abundātly reuenues, or ye­rely profytes, moreouer the rote of it is good to all them whyche will plante vynyardes or trees. And infantes bearing it, shalbe very apte to learne, & louing ler­nynge, and they shalbe glad and ioyous. It is also profitable, be­yng put in purgations, & it put­teth abacke deuels. Yet thys is to be marked, that these herbes he gathered fro the .xxiii. daye of [Page] the Moone vntyll the .xxx. daye, beginnyg the gathering of them frome the signe Mercurius, by the space of a whole houre, and in gatherynge make mention of the passion or griefe, and the na­me of the thynge, for the whiche thou doest gather it, and the selfe herbe, notwithstandinge, lay the herbe vppon wheate, or barleye, and vse it afterwarde too thy nede.

☞ If thou wilt knowe whyther thy wyfe is chaste, or no.

❧ Take the stone, which is cal­led Magnes in English, the lode stone, it is of sadde bl [...]w coloure, and it is foūde in the sea of Inde sometime in partes of Almaine, in the prouince, which is called East Fraunce. Laye thys stone vnder the head of a wyfe, & yf she be chast, she wil embrace her hus­bande, if she be not chaste, she wil fall anone forth of the bedde.

Moreouer, yf thys stone be put brayed, and scattered vpon coles, in foure corners of the house, they that be sleapynge, shall flee the house, and leaue all.

If thou wilt be made inuisible.

[Page]¶ Take the stone, which is called Ophethalmius, and wrappe it in the leafe of the Laurell, or Baye tree, & it is called Lapis obtelmi­cus, whose colour is not named, [...]or it is of many colours, and it is of such vertu, that it blindeth the sightes of them that stand a­bout. Constantinus carying this in hys hande, was made inuisy­ble by it.

¶ If thou wilt prouoke sorowe, feare, terrible fantasyes, & debate.

Take the stone, which is called Onyz, which is of black coloure. And the kynd is best which is ful of whyte vaynes. And it cōmeth from Inde, vnto Araby, and if it be hanged vpon the necke, or fynger, it styrreth vp anone sorowe or heauynesse in a man, and ter­roures, [Page] and also debate, and this hath bene proued by men of late tyme.

¶ If thou wilt burne any mans handes without fyre.

¶ Take the stone, which is called Fet [...]pēdamus, which is of yelow colour, which if it be hanged vpō the necke of anye man, it healeth Areticū, and also if this stone be greped straytly, it burneth y ^e hād anone, & therfore it must be tou­ched lightly, and gently.

¶ Take the stone, whiche is cal­led Sylonites, & it groweth in y ^• bosome of a snayle of Inde, cal­led Corcuses, and there is of dy­uers kyndes of it, of whyte, read, [Page] and purple colour. Other saye, that it is grene, and found in the partes of Parsia. And also olde Philosophers saye, if it be tasted, it geueth knowledge of certayne thinges to come. If it be put vn­der the tounge, specially in y ^e first mone, it hath a vertue onely for an houre. Therfore beyng in the x. moone, it hath thys vertue in the fyrst, or tēth houre. But there is mouyng of the order, because, whan it is vnder the tung, if our thought be of any busynes, whether it oughte too be or no, if it oughte to be, it is fixed stedfastlye to the hart, so that it may not be plucked awaye, if not, the harte leapeth abacke from it. Also Philosophers haue sayd, that it hea­leth Ptificos, and weake men.

¶ If thou wilt that seething water come furth anone, after thou hast put in thy hand.

❧ Take the stone, which is called Topazion, fro the Ile Topa­sis, or because it shesheth a simili­tude of golde. And there be twoo kyndes of it: one is vtterlye lyke golde, and thys is more precious The other kynde is of the colour of saffron, of bryghter colour thā golde is, and thys is more profitable. It hath ben proued in oure time, that if it be put in seething water▪ it maketh it to rūne ouer but if thou put thy▪ hande in it, the water is drawen out anone, and one of our brethren did thys at Paryse. It is good also a­gaynste Emothoicam et stima­ticam, or lunatyke, passion or griefe.

¶ If thou wilt pluck of y ^e skynne of thyne, or an other mans hande.

Take the stone, whiche is cal­led Medora, of the region Media in the which the people dwelling are called Medi. And there bee two kyndes of it, blacke & grene. It is sayde of olde Philosophers and also of Phylosophers, beyng in thys tyme, if the blacke be bro­ken, and resolued in hote water, if any man wathe hys handes in that water, the skynne of his hā ­des shalbe plucked of anone.

Philosophers say also, that it is good agaynste the goute, and blyndnes of the eyes▪ and it nou­risheth hurte and weake eyes.

☞ If thou wilte that a man suf­fer no payne, nor be tour­mented.

[Page]Take the stone, whiche is cal­led Memphitis, of y ^e cytye which is called Memphis, & it is a stone of suche vertue, as Aaron & Her­mes saye: if it be broken, and mixed with water, and geuen to him to drynke, whiche should be bur­ned, or suffer any tormētes, that drinke induceth soo greate vna­blenesse too fele, that he that suf­fereth, feeleth neyther payn nor tormentynge.

¶ If thou wilt make a fyre con­tinually vnable to be quē ­shed or put out.

Take the stone, whiche is cal­led Abaston, & it is of the colour of yron; and there is founde very muche of it in Arabia. If that stoone be kyndeled or inflamed, it maye neuer bee putte oute, [Page] or quenched, because it hath the nature of the fyrst fethers of the Salamandre, by reason of moy­stye fatnesse, which nourissheth y ^• fyre, kyndled in it.

¶ If thou wilte ouercome thy enemyes.

❧ Take the stone, whiche is cal­led Adamas, in English speache, a Diamonde, and it is of shyning colour, & very harde, in so muche that it can not be broken, but by the bloud of a gote, & it groweth in Arabia, or in Cypres. And if it be bounden to the lefte side, it is good agaynst enemies, madnes, wyld beastes, venomouse beastes and cruell men, and agaynst chy­dyng & brawlynge▪ & agaynst ve­nyme, and inuaston of fanta­syes, and some call it Diamas.

¶ If thou wilt eschew all peri [...] and all terrible thinges, & haue a stronge harte.

¶ Take the stone, which is called Agathes, & it is blacke, and hath whyte vaynes. There is another of the same kynde, lyke to whyte colour. And the thyrde groweth in a certayn Ile, hauynge blacke vaynes, & that maketh too ouer­come peryls, & geue strength to y ^• hart. & maketh a man mightye, pleasaunte, delectable, & helpeth agaynst aduersities.

¶ Take the stone, which is called Alectoria, & it is a stone of a cock, & it is whyte as the Christal, and it is drawen out of the cockes gy­sar, or mawe, after that he hathe ben gelded more th ā four yeares [Page] and it is of y ^• greatnes of a beane It maketh the bealy pleasaunte and stedfaste, and put vnder the tunge, it quencheth thyrste. And thys laste hathe bene proued in oure tyme, and I perceyued it quickely.

¶ If thou wilt ouercome beastes and interprete, or expounde all dreames and prophe cye of thynges to come.

Take the stone, whiche is cal­led Esmundus or Asmadus, it is of diuers colours, it putteth out all poyson, and maketh a man to ouercome hys aduersaries, & ge­ueth Prophesieng, and the inter­pretation of all dreames, & ma­keth a man to vnderstande darke questions, harde to be vnderstād or assoyled.

¶ If thou wilt haue good vnder standing of thynges that may be felte, and that thou maye not be made dronked.

Take the stone, whithe is cal­led Amaristus, and it is of purple colour, and the beste is founde in Inde, and it is good agaynst drū ­kennes, and geueth good vnder­standynge in thynges that maye be vnderstande.

¶ If thou wilt ouercom thy ene­myes, and slee debate.

Take the stone, whiche is cal­led Berillus, it is of pale coloure and may be sene through as wa­ter, bear it about with thee, and thou shalt ouercome all debate, & shalte dryue a waye thy enemies and it maketh thy enemye meke. It causeth a manne too be well manuered, as Aaron sayethe, it [Page] geueth also good vnderstādinge.

¶ If thou wilt foreiudge, or coniecture of thynges to come.

¶ Take the stone, whiche is cal­led Celonites, it is of purple, & diuerse other colours, & it is foūde in the head of the snayle. If any man will beare thys stone vnder hys tunge, he shal foreiudge, and propheci of thinges to come. But notwithstanding, it hath no vertue, but shynynge, Prima cūfue­rit accensa, et crescens monoytes in vltima descendente, soo mea­neth Aaron, in the boke of ver­tues of herbes, and stones.

¶ If thou wilt pacifie tempestes and go ouer fluddes.

¶ Take the stone, which is called Corallus, Corall, & some be read and some whyte▪ And it hath ben [Page] proueth that it stemmeth anone bloude, and putteth away the folishnes of hym that beareth it, & geueth wysedom. And this hath ben proued of certayn mē in our tyme. And it is good agaynst tempestes, and perils of fluddes.

¶ If thou wilt kendle fyre.

¶ Take the Christal stone, & put it nygh vnder the cirkle of y ^e Sū ­ne, that is to sai, against y ^e sunne and put it nygh any thing y ^t may be burned, & incontinētly, y ^e heat of the Sunne shyning, will set it a fyre. And if it be dronke with hony, it encreseth mylke.

¶ If thou wilt that y ^e Sunne appeare of bloudy colour.

¶ Take the stone, whiche is cal­led Elitropia. It is grene like to the precious stone called the Emeraude. And it is sprynkled wyth [Page] bloudy droppes. The necroman­cers call it Gemma Babylonica, the precious stone of Babylō, by the propre name. But if it be a­noynted with the iuyce of an her be of the same name, and be put in a vesselful of water, it maketh the Sunne to seme of bloudy co­lour: as if the Eclypse were sene. The caus of this is, for it maketh al the water to bubble vp vnto a little cloude, which makyng the ayre thycke: letteth the Sūne to be sene, but as it were read, in a thicke color, a little after: y ^e cloud goeth away, by droppyng doune lyke dew, as it were by droppes of rayne. Thys also borne about maketh a mā of good fame, hole: and of longe lyfe.

It is sayd of old Phylosophers: that a man an ointed w ^t an herbe [Page] of thys name, as we haue sayde before: excelleth with vertue, & Elitropia is found oftētymes in Cypres and Inde.

¶ If thou wilt make sething water too be colde, whiche standeth vpon the fyre.

Take the stone, whych is cal­led Epibretes, which put in wa­ter agaynst the eye of the Sūne, putteth forth fyery beames of y ^e Sūne.

Euax sayth, that thys stone ma­keth a man eloquent, acceptable and pleasaunt. The blacke stone is good agaynst wylde beastes, & wrathe, & bringeth the busynes begonne to an ende. And if it be wrapped in the leaues of Celydō, it is said that it maketh the sight dull. And they should be drawen out in the moneth of August, and twoo stones are founde oftenty­mes in one swallowe.

¶ If thou wilt know before any thyng to come.

Take the stone, which is cal­led Bena, which is lyke a beastes to the, and put it vnder thy tung. And as Aaron and the old Phy­losophers sayth, how longe thou wilt holde it so alwayes coniec­turing, thou shalt prophecy thin­ges to come, and thou shalte not erre in any wyse for iudgyng.

It is of purple color, and it is found nygh y ^e bankes of the Ocean sea, & some­tyme [Page] in Persia, and it cōteyneth alwayes an other stoone in it, whiche soundeth in it, whan it is named.

¶ If thou wilt that straungers walke sure and safe.

¶ Take the stone, which is cal­led Hyacinthus, in English a Ja­cinct, it is of many colours. The grene is best, & it hath reade vay­nes, & should be set in syluer, and it is said in certain lectures, that ther is two kyndes of it, of y ^e water, & of y ^e Saphyre. The Jacinct of y ^e water, is yelow, whyte The iacinct of y ^e Saphyrs, is very shyning yelowe, hauing no watrishnesse, & this is better, & it is writ­ten of thys, in lecturs of philosophers, that it beyng borne on the fynger, or necke, maketh straun­gers sure, & acceptable, to theyr ghestes. And it prouoketh sleape, for the coldnesse of it, & y ^• Jacinct of Saphyre hath properly thys.

¶ If thou wilt be saued from di­uers chaūces and pestilēt bittes.

¶ Take the stone, which is called Orithes, of whiche there be .iii. kindes, one black, an other grene and the thyrde, of the which, one parte is roughe, and the other playn, and the colour of it is like the colour of plate of yron, but y ^• grene hath whyte spottes. Thys stone borne, preserueth from dy­uerse chaunces, and perilles of death.

¶ If thou wilt make peace.

¶ Take the stone, which is called a Saphyre, whiche commeth frō the Easte vnto Inde, & it that is of yelowe coloure is best, whyche is not verye brighte, it maketh peace and concorde, it maketh y ^e myndepure and deuote toward God, it strengtheneth the mynde [Page] in good thynges, & maketh a mā to cole from inwarde heate.

¶ If thou wilt cure a vyrgyn.

¶ Take the stone, whiche is cal­led Saunus, frō the Ile Sauna It doth make firme or cōsolidate the mynd of the bearer of it. And beynge bounde to the hande of a woman, trauayling with chydel it letteth the byrth, and kepeth it in bealye. Therefore it is forbid­den in suche a busynes, that this stone touche a woman.

¶ Thou shalte fynde many other lyke thynges: in the boke of Mi­nes, of Aaron and Euar.

❧ The manner of doynge these thinges, consisteth in this, that y ^e bearer for a good effecte, be clears from all pollution, or defylynge of the bodye.

❧ Explicit.

ISidorus semeth to saye, y ^e Licania hath in y ^e heade [...] a stone of most noble ver­tue, & is of whyte colour, whych brayed, geuen to them that haue the strangulion, to drinke, it lou­seth perfectly the vryne▪ & shortly healeth, it putteth awai the feuer quartayne. Also it taketh awaye a whyte spot or perle in the eye. Also yf a woman with chylde, beare it on her she shall not loose her byrth. Also the fleshe of them sodden, and eaten, is good to thē that haue an exulceratiō, or sore in the lunges, with a consump­tion of all the body, and spitting of bloude.

Also the poulder of the beastes, with the rynde, or barke of trees [Page] with some greynes of pepper, is profitable against the Emerodes and growinge out of flesh about the buttockes. Lykewyse they beynge rawe, brayed with ryn­des or barkes of trees, breake ry­pe impostumes.

FOrasmuche as it hath ben spoken in the boke before, of certayne effectes, caused by the vertue of certayne stones, and of their maruelous vertue or operation: nowe we will speake in thys Chapter of certayne effectes, caused of certayn beastes.

¶ Aquila, the Eagle is a byrde knowen ynough of men of Chaldea, it is called Vorax, and of the [Page] Grekes Rimbicus. Aarō & Euax saye, that it hathe a meruaylous nature or vertu. For if the brain of it be turned into poulder, & be myxed with the iuyce of the hem locke, they that eat of it, shal take themselfes by the hear, and they shall not leaue the holde, as long as they beare, that they haue re­ceyued. The cause of thys effecte is, for that brayne is verye colde, in so muche that it engendreth a fantasticall vertue, shuttinge the powers by smoke.

☞ Casso is a beaste knowen well ynoughe, it is called Rapa, of the Chaldeis, and of the Gre­kes Orgalo. Aaron sayeth of this. If the feete of it be borne of any man, he shall neuer be vex­ed, but he shall desyre alwayes [Page] to go for the. Also he that beareth the feete of it, shal alwayes ouer­come, and shalbe feared of hys enemyes. And he sayde that hys ryght eye, wrapped in a wolues skynne, maketh a man pleasaūt, acceptable and gentle. And yf meat be made of the aforesayde thinges, or poulder geuen to any man in meat, the geuer shalbe greatly loued of hym that recey­ueth it. Thys last was proued in oure tyme.

¶ Bubo, a shricke owle, is a byrd well ynough knowen, whiche is called Magis of the Chaldeis, & Hysopus of the Greekes. There be meruaylous vertues of thys fowle, for yf the hart and righte foote of it, be putte vpon a man sleapyng, he shall say anone to y ^• whatsoeuer thou shalte aske of [Page] hym. And thys hath ben proued a late tyme of our brethren. And yf any man put thys vnder hys arme hole, no dogge will barke at hym, but kepe silence. And yf these thinges aforesayde, ioyned together with a wynge of it, he hanged vp to a tree, byrdes wyll gather together to that tree.

¶ Hircus, y ^e gote bucke is a beast well ynough knowne, it is called of the Chaldeis Erbichi, of y ^• Ere kes Massai. If the bloud of it be taken warme with vineger, and the iuyce of fenyll, & sodden toge­ther with a glasse, it maketh the glasse soft as dowe, & it maye be caste agaynst a walle, and not be broken. And if the aforesayd con­fection be put in a vessell, & the face of any man be anoynted w ^t it, meruailous & horrible things [Page] shall appere, and it shall seme to [...] that he must dye. And if the aforesayde thing be put in y ^• fyre and there be there any man that hath the fallinge sycknes, by put tyng to the lode stone, he falleth anone to the grounde as dead, & if the water of eeles bee geuen to hym to drynke, he shalbe cured anone.

¶ Camelus, the Camel is a beast knowen well ynough. It is cal­led of the Chaldeis Ciboi, of the Grekes Iphim. If the bloude of it be put into the skyn of y ^• beast called Stellio, & then set on any mās head, which is lyke a lysard, hauing on his backe spottes like stetres, it shall seme that he is a gyant, & that hys head is in hea­uen. And thys is sayd in the boke of Alchorath, of Mercury, And yf [Page] a lantern anointed with y ^• bloud of it, be lyghtenned, it shall [...] that all men standynge aboute haue Camelles headdes, so that there be no outward light of an other candeil.

¶ Lepus, the hare is a beast wel ynough knowen, of the Chaldeis it is called Ueterellū, and of the Grekes Onollosa, the vertue of it is shewed to be merualous, for Euax and Aaron sayd that y ^•, fete of it ioyned with a stone or with the head of a blacke owsell, mo­ueth a man to hardines, so that he feare not death.

And if it be bounden to hys lefte arme, he may go whether he wil and he shall returne saufe with­oute peryll. And yf it be ge­uen to a dogge to eate, with the hart of a Mesell, fro thens, forth [Page] he shall not crye oute, althoughe he should be kylled.

¶ Experiolus, is a beaste welly. nough knowen, yf the cloue of it be burned & consolidated, & be gyuen in meat to any horse, he will not eate for y ^• space of thre dayes. And yf the aforesayde thinge be put with a littell turpentyme it shalbe cleare, & secondly it shalbe mayde as a cloude & bloud, and if it be casten a litle in water, an horrible thunder shalbe made.

¶ Leo, a Lyon is a beaste well y­nough knowen, of the Chaldeis called Balamus, of the Greekes Beruth. If thonges of lether be made of the skynne of hym, & a man gyrded with theym, he shall not feare hys enemies. And yf any man will eate of the flesh of hym, & will drynke of hys water [Page] for thre dayes, he shall be cured from the feuer quartaine. And if any parte of hys eyes be put vn­der a mans arme hole & borne, al beastes shall flee away, bowynge doune their hade vnto their low belyes.

¶ Foca, purpays is a fysh well y­nough knowen, of the Chaldeis it is called Daulaubur, of y ^• gre­ciās Labor, this fysh is of diuers nature. If the tung of it be takē, and be put with a litle of y ^• harte of it in water, for a suerty fyshes will gather there together. And yf thou wilte beare it vnder thy arme hole, no man shalbe able to haue victorye againste the, thou shalt haue a gentle & pleasaunte iudge.

¶ Auguilla, an eele, it is a fysshe sufficiently knowē. The vertues [Page] of it are meruaylous, as Euar & Aaron saye, for if it dye for fault of water, the harte remaynynge hole, and strong vyneger to takē and it be myxed to the bloude of the fowle, called in Latine Uul­tur, which some call in English a Grype, and some a rauyn, and be put vnder dūge in any place, thei shall all how many soeuer they be, recouer their lyfe, as they had before. And if the worme of thys eele be drawen out, and put in y ^• aforesayd confection, the space of one moneth, the worme shalbe chaunged into a very blacke eele of whiche, if any man shall eate, he shall dye.

¶ Mustela, the Wesell is a beast sufficiently knowen. If the hart of thys beast be eatē yet quaking it meketh a man to know thin­ges [Page] to come, and yf anye dogge eate of the harte wyth the eyes and tūge of it, he shall soone lose hys voyce.

¶ Upupa, y ^• Lapwynke or blacke plouer, is a byrd sufficiently kno­wen, of the Chaldeis it is called Boridicta, of the Grekes I son, y ^• eyes of it born, make a mā grosse or great. And if the eyes of it be borne before a mās breast, all his enemies shalbe pacefied. And yf thou shalt haue the heade of it in thy purse, thou canst not be deceiued of any merchaunt. Thys hath ben proued this daye of our brethren.

¶ Pellicianus, the Pellicane is a byrd sufficiently knowen, it is called of the Chaldeis Uoltri, & of the Grekes Iphalari. The vertue of it is meruaylous. If [Page] yonge byrdes be kylled and their harte not be broken, & if a parte of her bloud be taken and be put warme in the mouth of the yōge byrdes, they wil receyue soone a­gayn lyfe as before. If it be han­ged vp to the necke of any byrde, it shall flye alwayes, vntyll it fal dead. And the right fote of it vn­der an hote thyng, after thre mo­nethes shalbe engendred quycke, and shall moue it selfe of the hu­moure and heate, which y ^e byrde hath. And Hermes in the boke of Alchorath, & Plinius doth wit­nesse thys.

¶ Coruus, called of some a rauē, and of others a crow, the vertue of thys fowle is meruaylous, as Euax and Aaron reherse. If her egges be sodden, & be put agayne in the nest, the rauen goeth sone [Page] to the read sea, in a certayne Ile where Aldoricus or Alodrius is buryed, and she bryngeth a stone where with she toucheth her eg­ges, and the egges be soone rawe as they ware before. It is a mer­uaylous thynge to styrre vp sod­den egges. If thys stoone be put in a rynge, & the leaf of the laurel tree put vnder it, & a man beyng bounden in chaynes, or a doore shutte, be toucheth therwith, he that is boundē shall sone be low­sed, and the doore shalbe opened. And yf this stone be put in a mās mouth, it geueth too hym vnder­standing of all byrdes. The stone is of Inde, because it is foūde in Inde, after certayn wyse men, & sometyme in the read sea. It is of diuerse colours, & it maketh a man to forgete all wrathe, as we [Page] haue said aboue in the same stone ¶ Miluus, a Kyte or gleyde is a byrde sufficiently knowen, of the Chaldeis it is called Bysicus, of the Grekes Melos. If the heade of it be taken, and borne before a mans breast, it geueth to h [...] loue and fauoure of all men & womē. If it be hanged too the necke of an henne, she will neuer cease to runne, vntyll it be putte awaye. And yf a cockes combe be anoyn­ted with the bloud of it, he will not crowe frome thens forthe. There is a certayn stone founde in the knees of thys byrde, if it be loked craftely, whiche if it be put in the meat of two enemies, they shalbe made frendes, and there shalbe made verye good peace a­monge them.

¶ Turtur, a Turtel is a byrd wel [Page] ynough knowen, it is called Mu­lon of the Chaldeis, of the Gree­kes Pilax. If y ^e hart of thys foule be borne in a wolues skynne, he that beareth it, shall neuer haue an appetyte to committe lechery from thence forth. If the harte of it be burned, and be put aboue y ^e egges of any fowle, there can ne­uer yong byrdes be engendred of them from thenceforth. And if y ^e feete of thys fowle be hanged to a tree, it shal not beare fruite frō thenceforth. And yf an hearye place, and an horse bee anoynted wyth the bloudde of it, and with water where in a Molle was sodden, the blacke heares wyll fall of.

¶ Talpa, a molle is a beast well ynough knowen. The vertue of thys beast is meruaylous, as it [Page] is rehearsed of Phylosophers. If the fore of it be wrapped in y ^e leaf of a Laurell tree, & be put in the mouth of an horse, he wil flee for feare. And if it be put in the neste of any fowle, there shal neuer co­me forth yong byrdes of these eg­ges. And if thou wilt dryue awai molles, put it in a pot, & quycke brymstone kyndled, all the other molles shal come together there. And the water of that decoction maketh a blacke horse whyte.

¶ Merula, a blacke macke or ow sell, is a fowle well ynough kno­wen, and the vertue of it is mer­naylous. For if the fethers of the righte wynge of it be hanged vp in the myddes of an house, with a read leafe, which was neuer oc­cupyed, no man shalbe able too s [...]epe in that house, vntyll it be [Page] put awaye. And yf the harte of it be put vnder the heade of a man slepyng, & he be inquired, he will saye all that he hath done wyth an hye voyce.

¶ The maner of doyng all these beforesayd things, that the effect may be good & profitable is that it be doone vnder a fauourable planet, as Jupiter and Venus, & thys is in their dayes & houres. If any mā therfore will do these thynges truely, withoute doubt he shall fynde truth, & very great effect or vertue, in the before said thynges as I haue proued, & sene oftentymes together with oure brethren in oure tyme. Therfore let hym consider here, which shal fynde plentye of the beforesayde thinges, that he possesseth a lord­ship and vertues. For if they be [Page] done in their contraries, as a good effect in a maliciouse signe, hys vertue and effecte shoulde be letted for his contrarie, & so good and true thinges should be dispi­sed. We see very many to be decei­ued, in sure & true things, which if they hadde knowen, and kepte the qualities of signes or tymes they should haue obteyned their will and effecte, in the aforesayd thynges.

¶ Isidorus semeth to saye, that the asshes of a great frogge, born at a womans gyrdle, restraineth greatly the commynge of a wo­mans naturall purgation,

¶ And in a probatio, yf it be bost den too an hennes necke, there shall come forth no bloude of her or of an other beast.

¶ Also if it be tempered with water, [Page] & the heade or an other place be anoynted with it, heare wyll no more growe there.

¶ If anye man beare a dogges hart on his left syde, all y ^t dogges shall holde their peace, and not barke at hym.

¶ If any man will bynd y ^t right eye of an Wolfe on his right sleue neyther men nor dogges maye hurte hym.

ANd that al thynges which hath ben sayd before, and also shalbe sayd after, may be ap­plyed more easely, to the effectes of their desire, whiche haue not [...]nning of the sterres. Fyrst thou shalt note, that an houre is takē two wayes, that is equall & vne­quall. The equall houre is the houre of the dyall or clock, which is always equall. The vnequall houre is considered, after that y ^e dayes be langer or shorter. For y ^e Astrologie [...]s consider alwayes the tyme, in the whiche y ^e Sūne standeth vpon hys halfe sphere, and they call it the day or y ^e bow of the daye, and by the contrarie the might. They diuide that ty­me whych they cal the day, in. xii equall partes, which be the hou­res of the same dai, & whatsoeuer [Page] is sayde of the day, thou must vn­derstand cōtrariwyse of y ^e nyght. And that thou mayst vnderstāde more clerely, let vs put the case, the Sunne cometh oute frō hys halfe sphere, at .viii. of the dyall▪ we haue vnto the goynge doune of the Sunne .xvii. houres of the dyall, which we maye multiplye by .lx. as there be .lx. minutes of euery houre of the dyal, & we shal haue nyne hundreth, & thre score minutes, whiche we may deuyde by .xii. as there be .xii. houres of the day, applying to euery houre hys portion, & we haue .lxxx. mi­nutes in an hour. Therfore eue­ry houre of a daye shal haue. lxxx minutes, which shall conteyn .i. houre & one third of an houre of the dyall. And in all that tyme y ^• dominion of the planete of that [Page] houre shalbe cōsidered, as the ta­ble beneth written shall shewe. Euery houre of hys nighte shall not haue but .xl. minutes, which thou shalt vnderstande lykewise of others, according to the rising of the Sunne vpon the ground, because that houre which is in y ^e myddes betwene nyght and day, which is called the dauning of y ^e daye is not called the daye, but the daye is properlye vnder­stande, whan the Sunne may be sene.

¶ Therefore thou wyllynge too consyder the dominion of euerye Planet, for in euery houre, euery Planete hathe hys dominion, thou shalte consider the houres themselfes, after the way aboue written, and so thou maye come to the ende of thy purpose. Also [Page] the begynning of the daye is con­sidered from one of the clocke of the day, goyng before after noo­ne. So let the Sondaye be diui­ded into two equall partes, and it is of .xii. houres, diuide it into two, then the halfe daye shalbe .xviii. and y ^e fyrst houre folowing shalbe the beginninge of Mon­daye.

¶ Wherfore, thou shalt consider that Sonday hath his sygne vn­der the Sunne.

Mondaye hath hys signe vnder the Moone.

Tuesdaye hathe hys signe vnder Mars.

Wednisday hath his signe vnder Mercurius.

Thursdaye hath his signe vnder Jupiter.

Fryday hath his signe vnder Ve­nus.

[Page]Saturday hath his signe vnder Saturnus.

¶ It is too be noted that euerye true acte must be done vnder his planete. And it is better, if it be done in the propre daye of y ^t pla­nete, & in hys owne proprie hour as for an example.

Vnder Saturnus, lyfe, building doctrine, mutation.

Vnder Jupiter, houor, thing de­sired, ryches, apparel.

Vnder Mars, warre, pryson, matrimony, enemy.

Vnder the Sūne, hope, lucre, for tune, he yre.

Vnder Venus, frende or felowe­shyp, way, louer, straunger.

Vnder Mercury, losse, det, feare.

Vnder the Mone, polayse, dream marchaundyse, thefte.
