第十章

How the nature and kind of the Disease may be found out by the Figure of the decumbiture.

怎样凭卧床之盘找出病的性质与种类。

1. THe nature of the disease is found out three wayes; First, by the houses of heaven, of which the 6th. 7th. and 12th. signifie diseases.

一、病的性质从三条路找出来；第一，凭天上的宫位，其中第六、第七与第十二宫主疾病。

2 By the nature of the signes, of which fiery signe signifie choler and diseases thence proceeding; earthly signes signifies the diseases of melancholy, aery Signes diseases of blood and wind; watery signes, diseases of water and salt flegme.

二、凭星座的性质，其中火象星座主胆汁及由此而生的病；土象星座主黑胆汁之病，风象星座主血与风之病；水象星座主水与咸黏液之病。

3 By the Planets themselves and their aspects; All this I shall make cleer, by this subsequent discourse, before which I shall premise these following Aphorismes; 1 If Saturne signifie the disease, tis like to continue long enough, if not too long; yet if he be with benevolents it mitigates: if with malevolents it increaseth the evil. 2 Saturne in Leo, or Capricorn with the Dragons head or taile, or with Venus cumbust, or with violent fixed stars, he stirs up pestilences, or other pernicious feavers that are little better. 3 Saturne alone in fiery signes shewes Hectick Feavers.

三、凭行星本身及其相位；这一切我会在下面的论述里讲清楚，在此之前，我先立下这几条格言；一、若是土星主病，病很可能拖得够长，就算不是太长；不过他若与吉星同在，就会缓和：若与凶星同在，就会加重。二、土星在狮子，或在摩羯，同龙头或龙尾在一起，或同焦伤的金星在一起，或同暴烈的恒星在一起，他就会激起瘟疫，或者不比瘟疫好多少的其他恶性热病。三、土星单独在火象星座，主消耗热。

4 In watry signs sicknesses or watry humours. The disease comes of grosse and vicious humours, which will continue long with continuall fluxes and cold tremblings.

四、在水象星座，主病或水性的体液。病出于粗浊而败坏的体液，会长久持续，伴着不断的泻下与寒战。

5 Saturne in moveable signes shewes flux of humors in all parts of the body; Imagine the Dropsie or other diseases like to it; and yet it is some question to me, whether Saturne cause Dropsies yea or no, unlesse assisted by the Moon in signification.

五、土星在启动星座，主全身各处体液流溢；想想水肿或类似的病吧；不过土星到底会不会造成水肿，在我还是个疑问，除非有月亮在征象上相助。

6 Saturne in common signes gives compound diseases, and such as run out of one disease into another, and yet they passe leasurely out of one disease into another to, you may almost whip a snaile as fast; you may easily see it before it come if your eyes be in your head.

六、土星在双体星座，主复合之病，以及从一种病转到另一种病的那些病，不过它们是慢慢地从一种病转入另一种病，你差不多可以鞭着蜗牛走得一样快；你只要眼睛长在头上，就能在它来到之前看得清清楚楚。

7 Saturne in fixed signes, if in Leo, gives hectique feavers, in other fixed signes quartane agues, gouts, leprosies, and other diseases that stay longer then they are welcome.

七、土星在固定星座，若在狮子，主消耗热，在其他固定星座，主四日热、痛风、麻风，以及其他赖着不走、待得比受欢迎的时间还长的病。

8. If Jupiter cause the disease, look to the Liver for that's afflicted, the digestion is bad; bloud abounds either in quantity or quality; a thousand to one if it be not too hot.

八、若是木星致病，就要看肝，因为肝受了害，消化不良；血在量或质上过盛；千有九百九十九，血是太热了。

9 Jupiter in fiery signes bestowes upon men such feavers as come of bloud without putrefaction, such as the Greeks cal Synochus non putrida; they last but a very little while.

九、木星在火象星座，给人带来出于血而不腐败的热病，就是希腊人所称的“非腐败性持续热”；它们只持续很短的时间。

10 Mars gives violent feavers with putrefactions, and the Sun gives no other.

十、火星带来伴有腐败的猛烈热病，太阳带来的也不外乎此。

11 If you find Mars in a fiery sign, judge the disease either a burning Feaver called ⟨?⟩, or else the pestilence; if Saturne beare a share in signification with him, melancholy beares a share, or else a duske choler which is more usuall.

十一、你若发现火星在火象星座，就断定这病或是一种称为……（原书此处病名未转录）的灼热病，或是瘟疫；若土星也在征象上分一份，黑胆汁也就分一份，不然就是一种暗色的胆汁，这更常见。

12 Mars in common signes varies the disease; take heed of relapse; the Crisis is as certaine as a weather-cock, so exceeding swift and sudden will they come, even as swift as the wind not waiting the Moons leasure; In such a case you may more safely iudge by the aspects of the Moon to the Planets then by the Crisis.

十二、火星在双体星座，使病变化多端；当心复发；危象准得像风向标一样，来得极其迅速突然，像风一样快，不等月亮的空闲；在这种情况下，你凭月亮与诸行星的相位来判断，比凭危象更稳妥。

13 Mars in Leo afflicts the heart, the disease is a Feaver, and the cause of it Choler.

十三、火星在狮子，伤心，病是热病，病因是胆汁。

14. Alwayes when Mars signifies the disease, it is very short but extream acute.

十四、凡是火星主病，病总是很短，但极其急。

15 If the Sun at the decumbiture be afflicted by the body or Quartile Opposition, Antiscion of Saturne, the disease is Saturning Melancholy, and will in all probability last longer then you would willingly have it.

十五、若卧床之时太阳被土星的本体、四分、对冲或映点所克，病就是土星性的黑胆汁之病，十有八九会拖得比你愿意的更久。

16 If the Sun be afflicted in the same manner by Mars, the cause is choler; the motion of the disease is as swift as the wind, and as violent as the whirlwind.

十六、若太阳以同样的方式被火星所克，病因是胆汁；病的进展快得像风，猛得像旋风。

17 If Venus be ill affected to the sicke, the disease comes of Intemperance, either one way or another; perhaps with drinking, perhaps by venereall sports; what ere the cause be, those parts of the body signified by Venus suffer for it.

十七、若金星对病人不利，病就出于这样那样的放纵；也许是饮酒，也许是房事；不管病因是什么，金星所主的那些身体部位要为此受苦。

18 Venus in fiery signes causeth one day Feavers; but if Mars joyne with her in signification, the Feaver is rotten and proceeds from flegme.

十八、金星在火象星座，引起一日热；但若火星与她在征象上联手，热病就是腐败性的，出于黏液。

19 If Mercury be infortunate and cause the disease, he proclaimes that the infirmity lies in the braine, perhaps madnesse, or falling sicknesse, or it may be the man dreams waking.

十九、若水星受克而致病，他就宣告病在脑中，也许是疯癫，或是癫痫，或许那人是睁着眼睛做梦。

20 If Mercury joyne in signification with Mars, you may be confident the disease is a frenzie.

二十、若水星与火星在征象上联手，你可以确信这病是狂乱。

21 The Lord of the ninth in the sixth, witchcraft is to be feared, or else the disease lies very occult; I doubt my Author is mistaken: surely it should be the Lord of the 12th in the 6th. for the Lord of the 9th. should rather occasion the disease about some whimsies in Religion.

二十一、第九宫主在第六宫，要怕是巫术，不然就是病藏得极深；我怀疑我的作者弄错了：想必应当是第十二宫主在第六宫，因为第九宫主倒更该引起出于宗教上的某些怪念头的病。

22 The Moon in Aries in the 8th. afflicts the head with a disease to hot for it to bear, whether the disease lie in the mind, or in the body.

二十二、月亮在白羊，在第八宫，使头受一种太热、头受不了的病之苦，不论病在心里还是在身上。
