卷二·第五章　以例说明前法：巴黎热病一例

CHAP. V.

第五章

The former rules illustrated by an example.

以一个例子说明前面的规则。

A certaine man fell sick of an acute disease at Paris in France, Anno 1641. Jan. 12. about eight of the clock in the afternoon, at which time the Moon was posited in Aquarius, 10. 19. This I place in the Ascendent.

某人于一六四一年一月十二日约晚上八点，在法国巴黎患了急症，那时月亮位于水瓶十度十九分。我把这一点放在上升点上。

To this Aquarius 10. 19. I adde forty five degrees; the product is Pisces 25. 19. which makes the first judiciall time;

在这个水瓶十度十九分上，我加四十五度；得数是双鱼二十五度十九分，这构成第一个判断之时；

To which adding forty five degrees more, it will bring you to Taurus 10. 19. to which place when the Moon arrives she comes to the exact quartile of the place she was in at the decumbiture, and makes the first Crisis.

再加四十五度，就到金牛十度十九分；月亮到达这里时，就到了与她卧床之时所在之处正好成四分的地方，构成第一次危象。

Adde forty five degrees to that, and it produceth Gemini 25. 19. which is the second judiciall time.

再加四十五度，得双子二十五度十九分，这是第二个判断之时。

Is you would know when the second Crisis comes about, it is but onely Adding 45 degrees to that, and you will find the result to be Leo 10. 19. just the place opposite to the Moon at the decumbiture. The remainder are found out in the same manner.

如果你想知道第二次危象何时到来，只需在此之上再加四十五度，你会发现得数是狮子十度十九分，恰好是卧床之时月亮的对面。其余的照同样的方法求出。

When you have done so, it is no more but this,

做完这些，剩下的不过是这样：

First, Seek the time when the Moon comes to Taurus 10. 19, and you shall find it comes upon the 19 of Jan. about eight of the Clock at night.

第一，找出月亮到达金牛十度十九分的时刻，你会发现那是一月十九日晚上八点左右。

Secondly, View first the face of heaven, secondly the position and configuration of the Planets one with another at the same time.

第二，先看那时的天象，再看那时诸行星的位置以及彼此的格局。

个判断之时：双子二十五度十九分，二十三日下午二时三十六分；月亮趋向土星的三分，预示危象不佳。第二次危象：狮子十度十九分，二十七日上午五时五十分；月亮空亡，危象不佳。第三个判断之时：处女二十五度十九分，三十日下午三时四十四分；月亮趋向木星的三分，可望有好的危象。二月，第三次危象：天蝎十度十九分，二日下午九时一分；月亮趋向金星的三分，病人康复。判断之时：射手二十五度十九分。第四次危象：水瓶十度十九分。

The History of this observation is of a certaine person who by reason of great wearinesse in a journy, was surprised with a Feaver, at the time before mentioned; together with his Feaver he had a Cough and a Plurisie; The Feaver came to a ⟨?⟩ I never read of this name in Galen that I remember; I take it both by Mounsieur Durats discription, and also by his Figure of Heaven, to be the very same which Galen cals ⟨?⟩.

这一观察的病史，是某人因旅途中极度疲乏，在前述时刻染上热病；随热病而来的还有咳嗽与胸膜炎；这热病成了一种（原文此处缺字）——我不记得在盖伦书里读到过这个名称；依迪雷先生的描述，也依他的天象之图，我认为它正是盖伦所称的（原文此处缺字）。

The originall of this disease is Choler putrified with the bloud in the veines, and is the most violent of all Feavers. The night after the decumbiture this Feaver appeard; although on the third day all snaking left him, yet felt not the Patient the least intermission, the Moon being in Aquarius 10. 19. Aquarius being also a signe of infirmity, the Moons being in Sextile to Mars applying to Venus and Saturne, Mars afflicting the Sun with a Quartile, as also Jupiter and Mercury who were in combustion.

这病的根源是胆汁与血在血管里一同腐败，是一切热病中最猛烈的。卧床后的当夜这热病显现出来；虽然到第三天寒颤全都离开了他，病人却没有感到丝毫间歇；那时月亮在水瓶十度十九分，水瓶也是一个主病弱的星座；月亮与火星成六分，趋向金星与土星；火星以四分伤害太阳，也伤害当时正在焦伤中的木星与水星。

The 16. day of the same moneth of January the disease increased, at which time the Moone came to a Semi-Quadrat making the first judiciall time. And meeting then with never an aspect, the Crisis could be expected no other then doubtfull and unfortunate.

同月十六日病情加重，那时月亮到达半四分，构成第一个判断之时。那时她没有遇上任何相位，所以危象只能预期是可疑而不幸的。

The 19. day of the same Month at eight of the clock in the afternoon, the first Crisis came about some little sweat the diseased had. And if I may be bold to leave my Author for a little time, if you view the presages of Hippocrates, which you shall find at the latter end of this Book;

同月十九日晚上八点，第一次危象到来，病人出了些微汗。如果我可以斗胆暂时离开我的原作者，请你看看希波克拉底的预后之言——你会在本书末尾找到；

The words run thus, or to this purpose; It is very hopefull when a man sick of a Feaver sweats upon a Criticall day; however my Author confesses, that both his Cough, and his paine in his side left him, though his Feaver still remain, nay increased; by reason of the Quartile of Mars & Venus at the same time Mercury being Lord of the Ascendent at the Decumbiture. Also it is worth noting, that the Moon being in Aquarius at the decumbiture, and comes to Taurus at the first Crisis both Taurus and Aquarius are signs of infirmity; yet you see the Plurisie left him, the Moon being strong in her exaltation, though void of course.

原话大致是这样，或者是这个意思：患热病的人若在危象之日出汗，是大有希望的；然而我的原作者承认，他的咳嗽与胁痛都离开了他，虽然热病仍在，甚至加重了；这是因为当时火星与金星成四分，而水星是卧床之时的上升主星。还值得注意的是：卧床之时月亮在水瓶，第一次危象时到了金牛，金牛与水瓶都是主病弱的星座；可你看，胸膜炎却离开了他，因为月亮在自己的旺里强旺，虽然空亡。

I passe by my Authors infirmities in this and other things.

我的原作者在这件事和别的事上的弱点，我就略过不提了。

January 23. When the Moon by transit made the second judiciall time, she was afflicted by the Trine of Saturn, which prognosticates cause enough of fear in the second Crisis.

一月二十三日，月亮经行到第二个判断之时，受到土星三分的伤害，这预示第二次危象有足够的理由令人担忧。

January 27. at 5. 50. in the morning, the Moon came to the true opposition, to the place she was in at the decumbiture, she being then without any Aspect, either good or evill; this brought no hopes to the sick man of cure at that time; and indeed the sick was at that time very bad; yea, so bad that his Physicians were in doubt whether he would live or die.

一月二十七日早晨五点五十分，月亮来到与她卧床之时所在之处正对冲的地方，那时她没有任何相位，无论吉凶；这在那时没有给病人带来痊愈的希望；事实上病人那时也确实很糟；是的，糟到他的医生们都拿不准他是生是死。

January the 30. at 3 houres 44 minutes after noon, comes about the third judiciall time, at which time the Moon was in Trine to Jupiter, which gives strong hopes that a healthfull and propitious Crisis would ensue; and o it did; for upon

一月三十日下午三点四十四分，第三个判断之时到来，那时月亮与木星成三分，这给人很大的希望，接下来会是一次健康吉利的危象；果然如此；因为在

February the second at nine a clock after noon, the Moon coming to 10 degrees 9 minutes of the Scorpion, where she made the second Quartile to the place she was in at the decumbiture, and the third Crisis she applyed to the Trine of beautifull Venus: his Feaver began to leave him, and he began to attain his pristine health

二月二日晚上九点，月亮来到天蝎十度九分，在那里与她卧床之时所在之处成第二个四分，也就是第三次危象，她趋向美丽的金星的三分：他的热病开始离开他，他开始恢复原来的健康。

By this one example you may see the wonderfull harmony and consent of diseases with the motions of the heavens, which that it may appear more cleer, and be visible to all, unlesse it be to such as are so blind they will not see, my Author adjoyns a rationall Figure of the decumbiture, and gives his judgement upon it.

由这一个例子，你可以看出疾病与天体运动之间奇妙的和谐与一致；为了让这一点更清楚、人人都看得见——除非是那些瞎到不肯看的人——我的原作者附上了一张卧床时的理性之盘，并对它作出判断。

A Rationall Figure upon the Decumbiture.

卧床时的理性之盘。

An astrologicall Judgement upon the face of Heaven at the Decumbiture.

对卧床之时天象的星占判断。

THe chief Significators of this Figure are the Ascendent and Mercury Lord of it, Retrograde in Capricorne, a moveable Signe in the 5th House of the Heaven, and in the House of Saturne.

这张盘的主要征象星是上升点与它的主星水星；水星逆行于摩羯，这是一个启动星座，在天上的第五宫，又在土星的庙里。

The 6th, house and his Lord Saturne in Aquarius, in the 6th. house strong and potent.

第六宫与它的主星土星，土星在水瓶，在第六宫，强而有力。

The Moon in the 6th house upon the cuspe of it; Sol in the 5th House with the Lord of the eighth, afflicted by the Quartile of Mars in a fiery Signe; this plainly shewes a disease of Choler.

月亮在第六宫，就在宫头上；太阳在第五宫，与第八宫主同在，受到火象星座中火星的四分所害：这明白显示是胆汁之病。

Jupiter in a moveable Signe in the 5 th. House, who rules the Stomack, Liver and Sides, combust and in Quartile to Mars stirred up a Plurisie, and Mercury afflicted shewed a dry Cough. Hence it appeares that Monnsieur Duryet was no Physician; for if he had, he would easily have known that a Plurisie never comes without a dry Cough; the most excellent of men may have failings.

木星在启动星座、在第五宫，他主胃、肝与两胁，焦伤，又与火星成四分，引起了胸膜炎；水星受害，显示干咳。由此可见迪雷先生不是医生；如果他是，他会很容易知道胸膜炎从来不会不伴随干咳；再出色的人也会有失误。

The Moon in Aquarius applying to Saturn at the beginning of the disease, shows the disease comes of wearinesse, according to the Doctrine both of Hippocrates and Hermes; but here arises another question; Shall the disease be long or short? This is answered thus, A fixed Signe upon the cuspe of the 6th. House shews length of the disease.

疾病开始时，月亮在水瓶趋向土星，按希波克拉底与赫密斯两家的学说，都显示这病是由疲乏而来；可是这里又生出另一个问题：这病是长还是短？回答是这样的：第六宫头上是固定星座，显示病程长。

Saturne in the 6th. House shews no lesse, but tels the same tale.

土星在第六宫，显示的也不比这少，说的是同一回事。

Againe Saturne Lord of the 6th. stronger then the Lord of the Ascendent, shews a violent increase of the disease.

再者，第六宫主土星比上升主星强，显示病势会猛烈加重。

Seeing Mars in a fiery signe afflicts both Luminaries, the Sun by a Quartile and the Moon by a Sextile; hence we may safely gather, that Saturne and Mars are Authors of the disease, and to part stakes between them, the one made it violent, the other continuing.

鉴于在火象星座的火星伤害两光——以四分伤太阳，以六分伤月亮——我们可以稳妥地推断：土星与火星是这病的肇事者；二者分工，一个使它猛烈，一个使它持久。

Give me leave now a little to passe my judgement upon this Figure: When first I viewed the Figure, upon the first blush I admired the man should live; the Lord of the Ascendent being combust, & applyed to the Sun, Mars casting Antiscion to the Sun, the Moon upon the Cuspe of the 6th. Cum multis aliis; The onely reason that I could finde of the life were these;

现在请允许我对这张盘稍作评判：我第一次看这张盘时，乍一看，我惊讶这人竟然活了下来；上升主星焦伤，又趋向太阳；火星把映点投向太阳；月亮在第六宫头上；还有其他许多迹象。我能找到他得以活命的理由，只有以下这些：

1. Saturne and Mars are both strong, and neither of them Lord of Death, though both of them of the sicknesse; then will they both of them shew themselves like potent enemies, that are able to hurt their foe, but scorne it; though they are enemies to life, yet they are honorable enemies, because strong.

一、土星与火星都强，又都不是死亡之主，虽然二者都是疾病之主；那么它们会像两个强大的敌人一样表现：有能力伤害对手，却不屑于此；它们虽是生命的敌人，却因为强大而是体面的敌人。

The Moon implies not immediately to Saturne, but to the body of Mercury, who is Lord of the 10. which shews the disease might be cured by Physick if a wise Physician had it in hand.

月亮并不直接趋向土星，而是趋向水星的星体，水星是第十宫主，这显示若有高明的医生来治，这病可以用药治好。

3. There is a Reception between the Sun and Mars which tyes the Sword of Mars from killing.

三、太阳与火星之间有接纳，这绑住了火星的剑，使它不能杀人。

4 Venus beautifies the signification of the 6th. house, almost as much as Saturne deforms it.

四、金星美化了第六宫的象征，几乎与土星损坏它的程度相当。

5 Neither Saturne nor Mars behold the Ascendent, and thats good.

五、土星与火星都不照见上升点，这是好的。

6 The disease came by the mans own misguiding himselfe, because the Lord of the 12. and Ascendent are together.

六、这病是那人自己行为失当招来的，因为第十二宫主与上升主星同在一处。

7. The Moon applies to a fortune which hath triplicitie in the Ascendent, though in an ill House.

七、月亮趋向一颗吉星，这颗吉星在上升星座有三方之权，虽然它在一个凶宫里。

8. I am confident the man journyed again so soon as he was well. First, because Mars Lord of the end, is neer the House of Journyes at the decumbiture; Secondly, because the Moon applies to the Lady of the third House at the decumbiture which is Venus.

八、我确信这人一好就又上路远行了。第一，因为结局之主火星，在卧床之时靠近远行之宫；第二，因为卧床之时月亮趋向第三宫的女主星，也就是金星。
