卷二·第九十二章　是否中了巫术

If one be Bewitched or not.

某人是否中了巫术。

IF the Lord of the twelft be in the sixt, or the Lord of the sixt in the twelft, or the Lord of the ascendant in the twelft, or the Lord of the twelft in the ascendant, or the Lord of the eighth in the ascendant, or the Lord of the ascendant in the eighth, in a Question where suspition of Witcraft is, it is probable; otherwise not so: But the Judgment succeeding I have found more certaine.

若第十二宫主星在第六宫，或第六宫主星在第十二宫，或上升主星在第十二宫，或第十二宫主星在上升，或第八宫主星在上升，或上升主星在第八宫，在一个怀疑有巫术的问题里，那就有可能是；否则就不是：但我发现下面这条判断更确实。

It's a received, generall Rule amongst those Artists that know the Cabalisticall Key of Astrologie, that if one Planet be Lord of the ascendant and twelft house, that then the Sicknesse is more then naturall: When ♄ is Lord of the ascendant and twelft, and in the twelft Retrograde, or in the seventh or eighth house in the same condition, and the ☽ being Lady of the sixt, apply to ♄, we constantly judge the party enquirng is Betwitched or Fore-spoken, or that an evill Spirit hath power over him, and that the Infirm will be sore oppressed and disturbed in his Fancy, if not distracted.

懂得占星学卡巴拉之钥的那些行家之间，有一条公认的通则：若同一颗行星既是上升主星又是第十二宫主星，这病就不止是自然之病：当土星是上升与第十二宫之主，在第十二宫逆行，或在第七、第八宫处于同样状态，而月亮作为第六宫之主入相土星时，我们一贯断定问卜者中了巫术或被人咒魇，或有恶灵辖制着他，这病人会在心神上受到沉重的压迫与扰乱，即使不至于发狂。

If the Lord of the ascendant be Combust, or infortunate in the twelft, or joyned to the Lord of the twelft house, there may be great feare, that the party enquiring or enquired for is Inchanted or Bewitched, or else some evill Spirits doe hant him. If the Lord of the ascendant be Lord of the twelft, and Combust, you must observe of what house the ☉ is Lord, and in what Signe and quarter of Heaven he and the Lord of the ascendant are, and judge the Witch liveth that way; describe the ☉ in Sign as he is, and it represents the person.

若上升主星焦伤，或在第十二宫受克，或与第十二宫主星会合，就很可怕，问卜者或所问之人是被魔法蛊惑、中了巫术，不然就是有恶灵纠缠他。若上升主星就是第十二宫主星，又焦伤，你必须看太阳是哪一宫之主，他与上升主星在什么星座、天空的哪个象限，就断那个女巫住在那个方向；照太阳所在的星座描述他，那就是那个人的样子。

If the Lord of the ascendant be Lord of the twelft, Combust, or unfortunate by the Lord of the third, it's a Neighbour hath procured some Witch to doe this act, or one of the Kinred; see in what house the Lord of the ascendant fals to be in, and in what house the Lord of the third is in, and infortunates him, you may judge the cause of the malice to proceed from something of the nature of that house; as if either of them be in the sixt, it's for Pastorage of Cattle, or some difference about small Cattle, or for one hiring the others Servant, &c. and in like manner consider all the twelve houses.

若上升主星又是第十二宫主星，焦伤，或受第三宫主星所害，就是某个邻居，或某个亲戚，找了某个女巫来做这件事；看上升主星落在哪一宫，第三宫主星在哪一宫并伤害他，你就可以断出这怨恨的起因出自那一宫性质的某件事；比如两者之一在第六宫，就是为了放牧牲畜，或为小牲畜起了争执，或一方雇走了另一方的仆人等等；十二宫都照此类推。

If the Lord of the ascendant be infortunate, as aforesaid, by the Lord of the fift, it's some Ale-wife, Nurse, or some drunken companion that occasions it, or hath procured this Witchery.

若上升主星如前所说受第五宫主星所害，那就是某个卖酒的妇人、奶妈，或某个酒肉朋友引起此事，或求人施了这巫术。

If the Lord of the tenth afflict the Lord of the ascendant in the twelft, it's doubtlesse the hand of God, or by some supernaturall power or cause.

若第十宫主星在第十二宫伤害上升主星，那无疑是上帝之手，或出于某种超自然的力量或缘由。

If the Lord of the ascendant be an unfortunate Planet, as ♂ or ♄, and be in the twelft house, Combust and infortunated by the Lord of the twelft, it imports the man is bewitched by a common Witch.

若上升主星是凶星，如火星或土星，又在第十二宫，焦伤，并受第十二宫主星所害，表示此人是被一个寻常的女巫所蛊。

If the Lord of the twelft be in the ascendant it argues Witchcraft, or that some evill spirit doth molest the party, or that some that are neer him or about him have evill tongues, or in plaine tearms, have bewitched him.

若第十二宫主星在上升，就主有巫术，或有恶灵骚扰此人，或他身边亲近的人嘴毒，或说白了，就是蛊害了他。

In places where people are troubled with Witches, as in many places of this Kingdome they are, these Rules will hold: as also, if the ☽ be in the twelft, in ☍ to the lord of the ascendant or twelft. If people suspect their Cattle Bewitched, if they be great Cattle, make the twelft house their ascendant, and the eleventh their twelft house, and vary your Rules with Judgment.

在百姓受女巫困扰的地方，像本王国许多地方那样，这些规则都管用：此外，若月亮在第十二宫，与上升主星或第十二宫主星对冲，也是如此。若人们怀疑他们的牲畜中了巫术，若是大牲畜，就以第十二宫作它们的上升，以第十一宫作它们的第十二宫，再审慎变通你的规则。

Naturall Remedies for Witchcraft.

对付巫术的自然疗法。

HAving by the Figure discovered and described the Party, either by that Planet who is Lord of the 12th, or posited in the 12th, and doth behold the Lord of the ascendant with a malicious aspect, you must let one watch the party suspected, when they goe home to their owne house, and presently after, before any body goe into the house after him or her, let one pull a handfull of the Thatch, or a Tile that is over the Doore: and if it be a Tile, make a good fire and heat it red hot therein, setting a Trevet over it, then take the parties water, if it be a man, woman or child, and poure it upon the red hot Tile, upon one side first, and then on the other, and againe put the Tile in the fire, and make it extreamly hot, turning it ever and anon, and let no body come into the house in the meane time.

凭这张盘找出并描述了那个人之后，即由第十二宫主星，或由落在第十二宫、以恶意相位照看上升主星的那颗行星所代表的人，你须叫人守着那个被怀疑的人，等他或她回到自己家里，紧接着，在任何人跟着进屋之前，叫人从门上拔下一把茅草，或取下一片瓦：若是瓦，就生一堆好火，把瓦放进去烧得通红，上面架一个三脚架，然后取病人的尿，不论是男人、女人还是孩子，浇在烧红的瓦上，先浇一面，再浇另一面，再把瓦放回火里，烧得极热，不时翻动，其间不许任何人进那屋。

If they be Cattle that are bewitched, take some of the Haire of every one of them, and mix the Haire in faire water, or wet it well, and then lay it under the Tile, the Trevet standing over the Tile: make a lusty fire, turne your Tile oft upon the Haire, and stir up the Haire ever and anon: after you have done this by the space of a quarter of an hour, let the fire alone, and when the ashes are cold, bury them in the ground towards that quarter of heaven where the suspected Witch lives.

若中了巫术的是牲畜，就从每一头身上取些毛，把毛混在清水里，或把它浸透，然后放在瓦下，三脚架架在瓦上：生一堆旺火，把瓦在毛上多翻几次，不时搅动那些毛：这样做了一刻钟之后，就让火自己烧着，等灰冷了，把灰埋在地里，朝着被怀疑的女巫所住的那个方向。

If the Witch live where there is no Tile but Thatch, then take a great handfull thereof, and wet it in the parties water, or else in common water mixed with some salt, then lay it in the fire, so that it may molter and smother by degrees and in a long time, setting a Trevet over it.

若那女巫住的地方没有瓦，只有茅草，就取一大把茅草，浸在病人的尿里，或浸在掺了些盐的普通水里，然后放进火里，让它慢慢地、长时间地闷烧，上面架一个三脚架。

Or else take two new Horse-shooes, beat them red hot, and naile one of them on the Threshold of the Door, but quench the other in Urine of the party so Bewitched; then set the Urine over the fire, and put the Horse-shooe in it, setting a Trevet over the Pipkin or Pan wherein the Urine is; make the Urine boyle, with a little salt put into it, and three Horse-nails untill it's almost consumed, viz. the Urine; what is not boyled fully away poure into the fire: keep your Horse-shooe and nailes in a cleane cloth or paper, and use the same manner three severall times; the operation would be farre more effectuall, if you doe these things at the very change or full Moon, or at the very hour of the first or second quarter thereof.

或者取两只新马蹄铁，烧得通红，把其中一只钉在门槛上，另一只则在那中了巫术之人的尿里淬火；然后把尿放在火上，把马蹄铁放进去，在盛尿的小陶锅或锅上架一个三脚架；放进一点盐和三根马蹄钉，把尿煮沸，直到差不多煮干，即那尿；没有完全煮干的，倒进火里：把马蹄铁和钉子用干净的布或纸包好留着，同样的做法做三次；若你正当新月或满月之时，或正当上弦或下弦之时做这些事，效验会大得多。

If they be Cattle bewitched, you must mix the Haire of their Tailes with the Thatch, and moysten them, being well bound together, and so let them be a long time in the fire consuming. These are naturall experiments, and work by sympathy, as I have found by severall experiments: I could have prescibed many more, Multa creduntur ratione experintiae, non quod videntur verae vi rationis.

若中了巫术的是牲畜，就须把它们尾巴上的毛和茅草混在一起，弄湿，牢牢捆在一起，让它们在火里长时间慢慢烧尽。这些都是自然的试验，靠感应起作用，我已由多次试验发现如此：我本可开出更多方子，许多事是凭经验的道理而被相信，并不是因为凭理性的力量看来为真。
