卷三·第七节第二至八章　施药总则、头眼鼻诸药与呕药

CHAP. II. Of Applying Medicines generally to all the parts of the body of Man.

第二章　论一般地对人体各部施药。

LIke as I have already given you the error of the vulgar Physicians, and the excellent uses of Astrologie in the administration of physick, it resteth therefore now I begin to shew you the rules of Astrologie herein, that thou mayst be throughly convinced and satisfied of the verity of what hath been said: And first of administring of Medicines generally to all the parts of the body, and then proceed.

我既已给你讲过庸医的错误，以及占星学在施药上的绝妙用处，那么现在剩下的就是我开始给你讲占星学在这方面的规则，使你对前面所说的真实性彻底信服、满意：首先讲一般地对身体各部施药，然后往下讲。

Know then that in giving of Physick, you ought to look in what part of the body the disease is, and let the Ascendent be that sign which signifieth the diseased part free from misfortune: fortifie also the Moon, and let her by no means be in Opposition of the Lord of the sixth, eighth or twelf, at the time of the parties first falling sick, or at the time of your election, or in the radix of the patients nativity; and if so be you cannot avoid it, but the Moon must needs be in aspect of them, let it be by Sextile or Trine, and if possible, with reception; but let not the Moon be in Conjunction of any of them, nor descending.

那么要知道，在施药时，你应当看病在身体的哪一部分，让上升是代表患病部位的那个星座，并免于不幸：也要加强月亮，无论如何不要让她在病人初病之时、或在你所择之时、或在病人本命的根盘中，与第六宫、第八宫或第十二宫的主星对冲；若你避免不了，月亮非与它们成相位不可，就让它是六分或三分，若可能，带接纳；但不要让月亮与它们中的任何一个会合，也不要让她在下降。

Note, that the Moon must by no means be in the sign signifying the member diseased, Nota. if any incission be made therein, for that is very dangerous; yet if the medicine be by emplaisters or unguents, or any such businesses that do not draw blood, she may safely be therein, if you cannot otherwise dispose of her.

注意，若要在患病的肢体上切开，月亮无论如何不可在代表那个肢体的星座，注意：因为那非常危险；但若是用膏药或油膏，或任何不出血的这类事，你若不能另作安排，她可以安然在其中。

If the infirmity be over all the body, let the Ascendent be a humane sign, of the which Libra is the best for this use; and let the Lord of the Ascendent and the Moon be also in humane signs, free from impediment, especially of the aforesaid Significators.

若病痛遍及全身，就让上升是人形星座，其中天秤最适于这种用途；并让上升主星和月亮也在人形星座，免于受阻，尤其是免于上述那些征象星的阻碍。

But if thou desirest to give the medicine to cure or remove any infirmity, let the Ascendent be Libra or Scorpio, and the Moon therein joyned, or in configuration with the fortunes, and free from the Malevolents aspects of the Infortunes; but if you cannot make her avoid the Aspects of the Malevolents, let the Aspects be by Sextile or Trine, and let her not be aspected by two Malevolents, or going to combustion; but however, chiefly see that thou dost fortifie the Moon, for otherwise the Physick will torment and afflict the patient, according as she is afflicted, &c.

但若你想给药来治愈或除去任何病痛，就让上升是天秤或天蝎，月亮在其中，与吉星相连或成格局，免于凶星的恶相位；但若你不能使她避开凶星的相位，就让那相位是六分或三分，也不要让她受两颗凶星照看，或走向焦伤；但无论如何，主要要看你加强月亮，因为否则药会照她所受的侵害那样折磨、困扰病人，等等。

CHAP. III. Of the Administration of Remedies to the Diseases of the Head.

第三章　论对头部疾病施药。

IN electing a fit time for applying or taking of remedies or medicines for the head, either universally or particularly, as Rheums, distilling humors, and the like, whether by Vomit, Gargarisms, or such like, let the Ascendent be Aries well fortified, if possible by the Benevolents, and freed from the Aspects of the Infortunes; place also Moon therein, or in Taurus, decreasing in light, and joyned to the Fortunes, or configuration with them, and free from any affliction or impediment. If thy medicine be to take away the hair, or the like, let the Ascendent and the Moon be in feminine signs, and the Lord of the Ascendent, and let him also, and also the Moon, be descending from the mid heaven towards the fourth house, &c.

在为头部施用或服用药物择一个合宜时间时，不论是一般的还是局部的，如伤风流涕、体液下注之类，不论用呕药、含漱剂或诸如此类，要让上升是白羊，得到很好的加强，若可能是被吉星加强，并免于凶星的相位；也把月亮放在其中，或在金牛，光在亏减，与吉星相连或成格局，免于任何侵害或阻碍。若你的药是用来除去毛发之类，就让上升与月亮在阴性星座，上升主星也是，并让他和月亮都从天顶向第四宫下降，等等。

And have a special care that the Sun behold not the Moon, or the Ascendent by any Aspect, when they are in Aries, especially by Square or Opposition, because of the great heat of the Sun.

要特别留心，当它们在白羊时，太阳不以任何相位照看月亮或上升，尤其是四分或对冲，因为太阳的大热。

CHAP. IV. Of Applying remedies to the eyes, and preparatives in general.

第四章　论对眼睛施药，以及一般的预备药。

ALl mists, pearls, films, or dimness of the eyes, or any other infirmities belonging to them, if thou wouldst remove or know a fit time to apply thy remedy thereunto, &c. let the Moon be increasing in light and motion, fortunate and in configuration with the Benevolents.

眼睛的一切雾翳、珍珠翳、薄膜或昏暗，或属于眼睛的任何别的病痛，你若要除去它，或要知道施药的合宜时间，等等，就让月亮在光与行速上增长，吉利，并与吉星成格局。

Let the Moon be free from all the Configurations or Aspects of Mars, when she is thus increasing in light and motion, and let Jupiter be in the Ascendent, or some other house above the earth; however let him be in Sextile or Trine of the Ascendent, or with a Square, if no other can be, provided he be not impedited or afflicted.

当她这样在光与行速上增长时，让月亮免于火星的一切格局或相位，并让木星在上升，或在地平之上的别的某宫；无论如何要让他与上升成六分或三分，若别无办法，四分也可，只要他不受阻碍或侵害。

See also that the Ascendent nor the Moon be in earthy signs, and if so be you cannot avoid the aspect of Mars to the Moon, be in earthy signs, and if so be you till she is past the aspect and separating.

也要看上升和月亮都不在土象星座，若你避免不了火星与月亮的相位，就等到她过了那相位、正在离开为止。

Remember that in all elections where there is any inscissions or scarifications to be made, Nota. let not the Moon be in the sign signifying the member to be inscissioned, nor in a moveable or common sign, or in Square or Opposition of Saturn or Mars, for that then she causeth the wound to fester or ganger. Look whether Ptolomy in his twenty Centilo. doth not say the same, Membrum ferro ne percutito, cum Luna signum tenuerit, quod membro illi dominatur.

记住，在一切要切开或划破的择日中，注意：不要让月亮在代表要切开的那个肢体的星座，也不要在启动或双体星座，或与土星或火星成四分或对冲，因为那时她会使伤口化脓或生坏疽。看看托勒密在他的《金言百则》第二十则里是不是这样说的：月亮占据主管某个肢体的星座时，不要用铁器割那个肢体。

Let this be diligently observed which hath been said, especially when the Moon is near her Conjunction with the Sun, or till she be fully separated twelve degrees at least.

上面所说的，要认真遵守，尤其是当月亮接近与太阳会合时，或直到她离开太阳至少足足十二度。

And in administring Preparatives, let the Moon be in Gemini, Libra or Aquaries.

施用预备药时，让月亮在双子、天秤或水瓶。

CHAP. V. Of Applying remedies to the Noses.

第五章　论对鼻子施药。

MArk now; if thou wouldst apply any remedy for the infirmities of the Nose, as unguents, suffumigations or sneesing-powders, or such like, &c. let the ascendent be Cancer, Leo, or Virgo, and the Moon in the ascendent in configuration with a fortune, and free from all manner of affliction, or the configurations of the Malevolents, and let her not be in combustion, nor joyned to a Planet that is weak or retrograde, &c.

现在留意；你若要对鼻子的病痛施用任何药物，如油膏、熏剂或嚏粉之类，等等，就让上升是巨蟹、狮子或处女，月亮在上升，与吉星成格局，免于一切侵害或凶星的格局，也不要让她在焦伤之中，或与虚弱或逆行的行星相连，等等。

CHAP. VI. Of injecting of Clisters, &c. and Stopping of Rheums or Fluxes.

第六章　论注射灌肠剂等，以及止住流涕或下泻。

IN giving of Clysters, remember to make thy ascendent Aries, Libra, Scorpio or Aquaries; however, let the Moon be in one of them, and the Lord of the ascendent free from the configurations of the Lord of the sixth, and the Moon applying to Venus; for this will be helpful in such cases or businesses.

施灌肠时，记住让你的上升是白羊、天秤、天蝎或水瓶；无论如何要让月亮在其中之一，上升主星免于第六宫主星的格局，月亮入相于金星；因为这在这类情形或事情中会有帮助。

In Stopping of Rheums, or Fluxes, let the Moon be in Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn.

止住流涕或下泻时，让月亮在金牛、处女或摩羯。

CHAP. VII. Of the administration of gargarisms, or sneezings, and such like.

第七章　论施用含漱剂、嚏药之类。

USE to make the Ascendent in this manner of work, either Cancer, Leo or Virgo, and the Moon decreasing in light and motion, and in Taurus descending in latitude, or in Aries; but be she in what sign she will, let her be applying to the fortunes; Let also the Ascendent, its Lord, and the Moon, be in signs that chew the cud, as are Aries, Taurus and Capricorn; yet Alsayat commendeth Cancer, Leo and Virgo, as you have heard; see also that you let not the Moon be in a Square of Iupiter, especially out of Aries.

在这种事上，习惯让上升是巨蟹、狮子或处女，月亮在光与行速上亏减，在金牛而纬度下降，或在白羊；但不论她在什么星座，都要让她入相于吉星；也让上升、其主星和月亮在反刍的星座，如白羊、金牛和摩羯；不过阿尔萨亚特推崇巨蟹、狮子和处女，如你已经听过的；也要看你不让月亮与木星成四分，尤其是从白羊出发的四分。

CHAP. VIII. Of giving of Vomits.

第八章　论给呕药。

DO thou be sure in giving of such medicines as provoke Vomits, that thy Ascendent, its Lord, and the Moon be in signs that chew the cud, as are Aries, Taurus and Capricorn, of the which Taurus is the best, for that the Moon is exalted therein; wherefore it will be the better if she be in the first three degrees thereof, the third degree being the point of her exaltation.

在给催呕的药时，你一定要让你的上升、其主星和月亮在反刍的星座，如白羊、金牛和摩羯，其中金牛最好，因为月亮在其中得旺；所以她若在其前三度会更好，第三度是她的旺度。

Let the Lord of the Ascendent also be in his exaltation, or in Sextile or Trine of the degree thereof.

也让上升主星在他的旺，或与旺度成六分或三分。

And look that the Moon be by no means in any configuration with any Planet beneath the earth; for that causeth the Physick to work downward, especially if the Planet so in aspect with her be strong; wherefore let her be joyned or in aspect with a Planet above the earth, which is well dignified, if you can possibly however let her be strong. For according to Ptolomy, Centilo. 21. Cum Luna copulata fuerit stellis supra terram constitutis, evomere fecit potionem.

要看月亮无论如何不与地平之下的任何行星成任何格局；因为那会使药往下走，尤其是那颗与她成相位的行星若强；所以让她与地平之上、有良好尊贵的行星相连或成相位，若你能做到的话；无论如何要让她强。因为照托勒密《金言百则》第二十一则：月亮与位于地平之上的星相连时，她使药被呕出。

If the Vomit be for the help of an Infirmity in any member or part of the body, (say some Authors) let the Moon be in the sign signifying the member or part of the body, well dignified and strong; and let the sign also if possible be fortunate; In my practice I have followed the former rules with much success; however thou mayst take thy choyce and please thy self; but let me give you one Caution more, Let not the Moon or the Lord of the Ascendent be in watry signs, Nota. especially Scorpio and Cancer, nor the Ascendent; for they are apt to make the Physick laxative, and work downwards. And so much for administring of Vomits; it resteth now we descend to Purges, &c.

若呕药是为了帮助身体某个肢体或部位的病痛，（有些作者说）让月亮在代表那个肢体或部位的星座，有良好的尊贵而强；若可能也让那星座吉利；在我的行医实践中，我遵循前面的规则，很有成效；不过你可以任选，随你的意；但让我再给你一条告诫，不要让月亮或上升主星在水象星座，注意：尤其是天蝎和巨蟹，上升也不要；因为它们容易使药变成泻药，往下走。关于给呕药就讲这么多；现在剩下的是我们往下讲泻药，等等。
