卷二·第五十章（四）　盗贼的名字、身份、远近与去向

For Names.

论名字。

♃ ☉ and ♂ in Angles signifie short Names and of few Syllables, and being neer the Mid-heaven doe begin with A or E : ♄ or ♀ Significator,the Name is of more Syllables,as Richard or William ; for the most part if the Querents Names be short,so is also the Quesited.

木星、太阳和火星在角宫，表示名字短、音节少，若又靠近中天，名字以英文字母表的第一个或第五个字母开头：土星或金星作征象星，名字音节多，比如理查或威廉；多数情况下，如果问卜者的名字短，所问之人的名字也短。

Names of Theeves or Men, as Astrologers write.

星占家们所写的盗贼或男子的名字。

To know the Names by the Lord of the seventh House; or the Planet in the seventh House, or the Planet joyned with them, as followeth :

用第七宫之主、或第七宫里的行星、或与它们相合的行星来知道名字，如下：

Some moderne Professors, have endeavoured to give a probable conjecture what Christian name the Thief is of, or party enquired after, whether man or woman. first, they consider if the Planet who is principall Significator of the party enquired of, whether he be angular or no, and then whether he be in aspect (it matters not what aspect, good or ill) with any Planet or Planets ; if he be in no aspect, then in whose Dignities he is, and from hence they make their mixture ; for example ; let us admit ☿ to be Lord of the seventh, and Significator of a Maids Lover,and he in aspect, or in the dignities of ♂ , I shall then have recourse to the Table before, and there I find in the first line over against ☿ and ♂ Matthew, I shall then say the man's name is Matthew, or of a name equivalent in length, or same number of letters : for my part I never use this way, nor yet have much credited it ; yet I beleeve, were it well practised, we might find out very pretty conclusions,and goe neer to find the very name, or somewhat neer it.

有些近世的业者曾努力给出一个可能的推测：盗贼或所问之人，不论男女，基督教名叫什么。首先，他们看那位所问之人的主要征象星是否在角宫，再看他是否与任何一颗或几颗行星成相位（什么相位都不要紧，好坏皆可）；如果没有相位，就看他在谁的尊贵里，由此作调和；举例来说，假定水星是第七宫之主，是一位少女的情人的征象星，他与火星有相位，或在火星的尊贵里，我就回头去查前面那张表，在第一行水星与火星对应的地方找到「马太」，于是我就说这人名叫马太，或叫一个长度相当、字母数相同的名字：至于我自己，我从不用这个办法，也不怎么相信它；不过我相信，若能好好实践，我们也许能得出相当精巧的结论，能找出那个名字，或很接近的名字。

Whether the Thief be of the house or not.

盗贼是否家里的人。

If both the Lights behold the ascendant, or be in their owne houses, the Thief is one of the Family,the Lord of the seventh in the ascendant, idem ; the Lord of the sixt in the second, it is a Servant ; if either of the Luminaries behold the ascendant, it is no stranger ; ☉ opposite to the ascendant, it is an overthwart Neighbour ; the Lord of the seventh beholding the ascendant with a friendly aspect, idem.

如果两光都照看上升，或在自己的庙里，盗贼是家里的人；第七宫之主在上升，同上；第六宫之主在第二宫，是个仆人；两光中任一照看上升，不是外人；太阳与上升对冲，是对门的邻居；第七宫之主以友好的相位照看上升，同上。

A Stranger or Familiar.

外人还是熟人。

☉ and ☽ beholding the ascendant or the Lord of the ascendant in the first, or joyned to the Lord of the seventh, it is one of the house, or one that frequents the house ; the Luminaries in their proper houses, or in the house of the Lord of the ascendant, the same; in the Triplicity of the Lord of the ascendant, a Neighbour ; in the Terms of him, a Familiar ; ☽ in the ninth in ☌ □ or ☍ to ♄ or ♂ , brings back the Thief ; without fail if they be Retrograde.

太阳和月亮照看上升，或照看在第一宫的上升主星，或与第七宫之主相合，是家里人，或常来家里的人；两光在自己的庙里，或在上升主星的庙里，同上；在上升主星的三方里，是邻居；在他的界里，是熟人；月亮在第九宫，与土星或火星成会合、四分或对冲，会把盗贼带回来；如果它们逆行，必定如此。

Another.

另一说。

If ☉ and ☽ aspect the Lord of the ascendant, and not the ascendant, the Thief is knowne to the owner ; the Significator of the Thiefe strong in the ascendant, noteth a Brother or Kinsman ; Zael, Lord of the seventh in the ninth from his owne house, it is a Stranger ; ☉ and ☽ beholding each other, a Kinsman ; the Lord of the ascendant in the third or fourth, accuseth thine owne houshold-Servant ; this I have oft proved true by experience.

如果太阳和月亮照看上升主星，而不照看上升，盗贼是失主认识的人；盗贼的征象星强而在上升，表示兄弟或亲戚；扎埃尔说，第七宫之主在从他自己的庙起算的第九宫，是外人；太阳与月亮彼此相望，是亲戚；上升主星在第三或第四宫，指向你自己家里的仆人；这一条我凭经验屡次证实。

Rules by the Lord of the seventh house.

按第七宫之主的规则。

The Lord of the seventh in the ascendant or fourth, noteth one of the house, or of the houshold, or frequenting the house, and is in the City or Towne, and is one whom the querent least mistrusteth, and one which will hardly confesse the fact.

第七宫之主在上升或第四宫，表示是家里的人，或家中成员，或常来家里的人，他就在城里或镇上，是问卜者最不怀疑的人，而且很难认罪。

The Lord of the seventh in the second, noteth one of the houshold,or an acquaintance(if it be in a masculine Signe,) but if it be in a feminine Signe, it is his Wife, perhaps a Sweetheart or Mayd of the house, and is within the power of the Loser, or some of his house, and may be recovered by money.

第七宫之主在第二宫，表示家中的人或熟人（如果是阳性星座）；但如果是阴性星座，就是他的妻子，或许是个情人，或家里的女仆，她在失主或他家里某人的掌控之中，花钱可以赎回。

The Lord of the seventh in the third, one of the Kinred, Brotherr, Sisters, Cozens, or his onely Fellow by way of service,or some Neighbour often in his sight,or his Disciple, Messenger or Servant, &c.

第七宫之主在第三宫，是亲族中的人，兄弟、姊妹、表亲，或他唯一的同伴（在同一家做事），或常在他眼前的某个邻居，或他的门徒、信差或仆人，等等。

The Lord of the seventh in the fourth, it is his Father, or some old Body, or of his Fathers Kin, or one dwelling in the Heritage or house of his Father, and the Thiefe hath given it to his Wife, or the woman to her Husband, or it is the good man or good Wife of the house, or else he is a Tiller or Labou of the Land for the querent.

第七宫之主在第四宫，是他的父亲，或某个老人，或他父亲的亲族，或住在他父亲的产业或房子里的人，盗贼把东西给了他的妻子，或那女人给了她的丈夫，或者是这家的男主人或女主人，要不然就是替问卜者种地的农夫或雇工。

The Lord of the seventh in the fift,the Sonne or Daughter of him, or the Sonne or Daughter of his Cozen or Nephew, (if the Sign be a masculine) or of the hushold of his Father, or else his very Friend.

第七宫之主在第五宫，是他的儿子或女儿，或他表亲、侄甥的儿子或女儿（如果星座是阳性），或他父亲家里的人，要不然就是他的至交。

The Lord of the seventh in the sixt, a Servant, a Disciple or Labourer to the querent, or one conversant with some Churchman, a Brother or Sister of the Father,a sick body or unsteadfast, or grieved person.

第七宫之主在第六宫，是仆人、门徒，或问卜者的雇工，或与某位教会人士往来的人，父亲的兄弟或姊妹，一个病人，或心性不定的人，或心怀愁苦的人。

[This must be warily understood.] The Lord of the seventh in the seventh, his Wife or Lady, or an Harlot,or a woman that useth to be suspected for such matters, or a Buyer or Seller in Markets ; if it be a feminine Signe, the Taker is an utter enemy to the Loser, by some cause formerly happened between them, and dwels somewhat far from him, and the things are in his custody still, and hard to be recovered.

（页边注：这必须审慎理解。）第七宫之主在第七宫，是他的妻子或夫人，或娼妓，或一向因这类事受人怀疑的女人，或集市上的买卖人；如果是阴性星座，拿东西的人是失主的死敌，因为以前两人之间发生过某事，他住得离失主稍远，东西还在他手里，很难追回。

The Lord of the seventh in the eighth, a Stranger, yet seemeth to be one of the houshold, or one of his open enemies, or of his neer Kinswoman, for some cause of offence done, or some evill disposed person (and of the Livery of the Man) and he useth to come to his House, and either is kept by him, or else doth some servile acts, as a Butcher or Labourer doth, otherwhiles to kill Cattell, and it seemeth the thing lost will not be had againe but by either faire words, or dread of death, or by reason of some threats,or else the thing is lost by some Man absent, the which is not now had in minde at this time,but seems to be quite forgotten.

第七宫之主在第八宫，是外人，却看似家中的人，或是他的公开仇敌之一，或他的近亲女子之一，因为有过冒犯之事，或是某个心性不良的人（穿着那人家的号衣），他常来他家，或由他供养，或做些粗活，像屠夫或雇工那样，有时宰杀牲口；看来失物要追回，只能靠好言相劝，或以死相胁，或借某种威吓，要不然就是东西被某个不在场的人弄丢了，此刻没人想起他，似乎已被忘得干干净净。

The Lord of the seventh in the ninth, an honest person, a Clarke, or a Church-man, and the Thiefe is out of the way or Country, a Disciple, or Governour to some Master of some priviledged Place, or a poore vagrant person, hard to be recovered but by some religious person as aforesaid.

第七宫之主在第九宫，是一个正派人，一个教士或教会人士，盗贼已离开本路或本乡，或是门徒，或某个特许之地的主人手下的管事，或一个可怜的流浪者，除非靠前面说的那种宗教人士，否则很难追回。

[I ever finde it to signifie one lodging in the House, when the thing was lost, or using the House.] The Lord of the seventh in the tenth, A Lord, or Master, or Governour in the Kings house, or of his Houshold ; or some Lady or Gentlewoman, if the Figure be Feminine, & e contra ; or some crafts-Master ; usually its some person that lives handsomely, and is not necessitated to this course of life.

（页边注：我一向发现它表示失物时住在这家的人，或常来这家的人。）第七宫之主在第十宫，是一位老爷，或主人，或国王宫中或王室的管事；或某位夫人或贵妇，如果盘是阴性的，反之亦然；或某个手艺师傅；通常是个日子过得体面、不必靠这种营生的人。

The Lord of the seventh in the eleventh, a Friend or one knowne by some service done ; or of the houshold of some man of the Church, or Neighbour, or servant in the place where the Querent hath some Lordship, and is put in trust, or is of the Houshold of the Querent his Mother, and by such a one or his meanes to be recovered againe.

第七宫之主在第十一宫，是朋友，或因做过某种事而认识的人；或某位教会人士家里的人，或邻居，或问卜者拥有某种领主权的地方的仆人，受了托付，或是问卜者母亲家里的人，要靠这样一个人或借他的手才能追回。

The Lord of the seventh in the twelfth, a Stranger, envious a false person, and inthralled, incumbred or oppressed with poverty, and hath no riches ; wherefore he hath visited many Regions, as some Enemy or Beggar doth,and he joyeth in it ; judge his quality by the Signe and Place, and commix all these with the other testimonies of the Signes and Planets.

第七宫之主在第十二宫，是外人，心怀嫉妒、虚伪，受奴役、受拖累，或为贫穷所困，没有财产；因此他走过许多地方，像仇敌或乞丐那样，还以此为乐；按星座与位置判断他的品质，再把这些与星座、行星的其他证据调和起来。

Whether the Thiefe be in the Towne or no.

盗贼是否在镇上。

Behold the Significator of the Thiefe, if thou finde him in the end of a Signe direct, or separating from Combustion, or applying to a Planet in the third or ninth House ; say,he is gon or going out of the Town, for the removing of the Significator out of one Signe into another, denoteth change of Lodging or removing ; if it be a superiour Planet, the rule is infallible.

看盗贼的征象星，如果你发现他顺行而在星座的末段，或正离开焦伤，或入相于在第三或第九宫的行星，就说他已经出镇或正在出镇，因为征象星从一个星座移入另一个星座，表示换住处或迁移；如果是上位行星，这条规则百无一失。

If the Lord of the ascendant and the ☽ be not in one quarter but above ninety degrees asunder, it noteth departure,or a great distance betwixt the Goods and the Owner ; but if they be in angles, and applying to Planets in angles, it noteth no farre distance, especially if the ☽ and the Lord of the ascendant be in one quarter.

如果上升主星与月亮不在同一象限，而相距九十度以上，表示人已离开，或财物与失主相距很远；但如果它们在角宫，又入相于在角宫的行星，表示相距不远，尤其月亮与上升主星在同一象限时。

Distance betwixt the Owner and the Thief.

失主与盗贼之间的距离。

[These judgments best agree from the Country.] If the Thief, viz. his Significator, be in a fixed Signe, account for every house betwixt the Lord of the ascendant and him, three miles ; in common Signes, every house betwixt the ascendant and Thief, one mile ; in movable Signes, for every house betwixt the ascendant and the Thiefe, account that so many houses on the earth are betwixt the Loser and the Thiefe.

（页边注：这些判断在乡间最合用。）如果盗贼，也就是他的征象星，在固定星座，上升主星与他之间每隔一个宫，算三英里；在双体星座，上升与盗贼之间每隔一个宫，算一英里；在启动星座，上升与盗贼之间隔着几个宫，就算失主与盗贼之间地面上隔着几所房屋。

If the Signe ascending be a fixed Signe, for every house give three miles ; if a common Signe,then for every house give one mile ; if a movable Signe, for every house reckon one halfe mile.

如果上升星座是固定星座，每一个宫给三英里；如果是双体星座，每一个宫给一英里；如果是启动星座，每一个宫算半英里。

If his Significator be in an angle, he is still in the Towne; in a succedant, not far off, in a cadents he is far gone.

如果他的征象星在角宫，他还在镇上；在续宫，没走远；在果宫，已经走远了。

Where the Thief is.

盗贼在哪里。

[These are still for the Country.] ☽ In an angle, at home ; succedant, about home ; if in cadent, far from home.

（页边注：这些仍是就乡间而言。）月亮在角宫，他在家；在续宫，在家附近；在果宫，离家很远。

The Significator of the Thief in an angle, in a house ; ☽ in an angle, in his owne house ; in a succedant, he is in Closes ; ☽ in a succedant, in his owne Closes.

盗贼的征象星在角宫，他在一所房子里；月亮在角宫，在他自己的房子里；征象星在续宫，他在围田里；月亮在续宫，在他自己的围田里。

The Significator of the Thiefe in a cadent house, he is in a Common ; ☽ in a cadent, in his owne Common, or that which belongs to the Towne he lives in.

盗贼的征象星在果宫，他在公地上；月亮在果宫，在他自己的公地上，或属于他所住镇子的公地上。

If the Signifier of the Thief be within thirty degrees of the Lord of the ascendant, then is the Thiefe neer him that lost the Goods ; if within seventy degrees,within the Towne or Parish of him that lost the Goods, the more degrees betwixt them, the farther off they are from each other.

如果盗贼的征象星离上升主星三十度以内，盗贼就在失主附近；在七十度以内，在失主的镇上或教区里；两者之间度数越多，彼此离得越远。

If the Significator be in a □ aspect to the Lord of the ascendant, he is out of the Towne ; if the Lord of the seventh be strong,& in an angle,the Thief is not yet gone out of the Town or Parish where the Theft was acted ; if he be found weak in an angle, he is gone, or departing.

如果征象星与上升主星成四分，他已在镇外；如果第七宫之主强而在角宫，盗贼还没有离开偷窃发生的那个镇或教区；如果在角宫而弱，他已经走了，或正在离开。

Another.

另一说。

[It sometimes holds true,the probatum est.] If the Lord of the seventh be in the ascendant,tell the Querent the Thiefe will be at home (before him)or before he get home, probatum est.

（页边注：有时应验，屡试不爽。）如果第七宫之主在上升，告诉问卜者，盗贼会比他先到家，或在他到家之前就到家，这屡试不爽过。

[Lord of the seventh in the ascendant,the Thiefe brings the Goods home willingly.] If the Lord of the seventh be in the seventh,he is hid at home and dare not be seen.

（页边注：第七宫之主在上升，盗贼会自愿把财物送回家。）如果第七宫之主在第七宫，他躲在家里，不敢露面。

If the Lord of the sixt be in the first or second with any of their Lords, the Thief is of the house of the Querent.

如果第六宫之主与其中任一宫之主同在第一宫或第二宫，盗贼是问卜者家里的人。

If the Lord of the ascendant and the Significator of the Theif be together, the Thief is with the Querent, probatum est ; the very truth is, he cannot be far from him.

如果上升主星与盗贼的征象星在一起，盗贼就和问卜者在一起，这屡试不爽过；实情是，他不可能离问卜者很远。

Toward what part the Thief is gone.

盗贼往哪个方向去了。

[These things shall be more fully explicated in the succeeding sheet.] If you would know to what part he is fled after he is gone out of Towne, behold the Planet that signifies his going out of Towne, and in what Sign he is ; and if he be in a fiery Sign, say he is in the east part of the Towne or Country ; if he be in a watry Signe, he is in the north ; if in an Ayery Signe, he is in the west ; if in an earthly Signe, he in the south :

（页边注：这些在下一页会说得更详细。）如果你想知道他出镇之后逃向哪个方向，就看那颗表示他出镇的行星，看他在什么星座；如果在火象星座，说他在镇上或乡间的东部；如果在水象星座，在北边；在风象星座，在西边；在土象星座，在南边：

Behold also in what quarter of Heaven he is in, and judge accordingly ; if the Signifier be in the west, he is in the west ; the east part is from the Mid-heaven to the ascendant, &c. mix the signification of the Signe with the signification of the quarter, and thereafter judge, preferring the Signe before the quarter, onely making use of the quarter to ballance your judgment when other testimonies are equall.

还要看他在天上的哪个象限，据此判断；征象星在西边，他就在西边；东边是从中天到上升这一段，等等；把星座的含义与象限的含义调和起来，再作判断，以星座为先，象限为次，只在其他证据势均力敌时，才用象限来权衡你的判断。

Which way the Thief is gone.

盗贼往哪条路走了。

Behold the significant Planet, in what Signe he is, and also the quarter, and accordingly judge ; others judge by the place of the ☽ ; others behold the Lord of the seventh, and the Lord of the hour, what Signe and quarter they are in, and if they agree, then they judge thereafter; others regard the Significator to whom he doth apply, or render his power ; others by the Lord of the fourth, I alwayes judge by the strongest, either of the Significator or the ☽.

看那颗征象行星在什么星座，也看它在哪个象限，据此判断；有人按月亮的位置判断；有人看第七宫之主与时辰主星在什么星座、什么象限，若两者一致，就照此判断；有人看征象星入相于谁、把力量交给谁；有人看第四宫之主；我总是按最强的一颗判断，或取征象星，或取月亮。

[The peculiar quarter of heaven every Signe naturally signifies doth follow hereafter.] If the Significator of the Thief be in a fiery Sign,he went east ; earthly, south ; ayery, west ; watry, north ; see what angle ☽ is in, there is the Thief ; in no angle, look for the Lord of the house of the ☽, to that part he went.

（页边注：每个星座天然所主的天空方位，见后文。）如果盗贼的征象星在火象星座，他往东去了；在土象，往南；在风象，往西；在水象，往北；看月亮在哪个角宫，盗贼就在那里；月亮不在角宫，就看月亮所在之庙的主星，他往那个方向去了。

See what Signe the Lord of the seventh is in ; if in ♈, eastward ; in ♉, in the South against the east ; and so of the rest.

看第七宫之主在什么星座：如果在白羊，往东；在金牛，往南而偏东；其余照推。

Of the house of the Thiefe, and the mark thereof.

论盗贼的房子及其标记。

If you will know the quality of the house the thing lost is in, and the signe and token thereof, and in what place the thing is, behold the Signe the Significator of the Thief is in, and in what part of heaven he is, and say in that part of the Towne the thing is ; if it be in the ascendant, it is in the point of the east ; in the seventh, just in the west; in the fourth, just in the north;in the tenth,it is south;and if it be between these angles, judge accordingly ; as south-west or north-west ;give the place of ☉ to be the house the Thief is in, and the place of the ☽ to be the door of the house ; if the ☉ be in an Orientall Signe, the house is in the east part from the Master, or from him that lost the Goods.

如果你想知道失物所在那所房子的性质、它的征象与标记，以及东西在什么地方，就看盗贼的征象星在什么星座、在天空的哪一部分，说东西就在镇上的那一部分；如果在上升，就在正东；在第七宫，正西；在第四宫，正北；在第十宫，在南；如果在这些角宫之间，就照此判断，比如西南或西北；把太阳的位置当作盗贼所住的房子，把月亮的位置当作那房子的门；如果太阳在东方星座，那房子就在主人即失主的东边。
