卷三·第七节第十二至十四章　放血、医生出诊与雇用仆人

CHAP. XII. Of Electing a time for Phlebotomy or Blood-letting, of applying also Ventosies.

第十二章　论为放血择时，以及施用吸角。

REmember that in Phlebotomie there are four things considerable, viz.

记住，放血有四件事要考虑，即：

1. The time of the year.

一、一年中的时节。

2. The Age of the Patient.

二、病人的年龄。

3. The custom of the Patient.

三、病人的习惯。

4. The strength of the Patients body.

四、病人身体的力气。

First the time of the year is to be regarded, and therefore in very hot or cold weather Phlebotomy is not to be used, for three Reasons.

首先要顾到一年中的时节，所以在很热或很冷的天气不宜放血，理由有三。

First, because that in extream heat or cold, the body is very loose and open, and the diminution of blood dissolveth it more.

第一，因为在极热或极冷时，身体非常松散开放，血的减少使它更加涣散。

Secondly, through inflammation of the Spirits and humours, Phlebotomy inflaming them more.

第二，因为元气与体液发炎，放血使它们更加发炎。

Thirdly, because the Ayr as a Bath draweth the Humours from the Center to the circumference, and the effect of Phlebotomy is to draw the humours from the circumference to the Center, though it for the present extracteth the blood.

第三，因为空气像浴池一样把体液从中心引向周边，而放血的效果是把体液从周边引向中心，虽然它当时把血抽了出来。

Secondly, the age is to be regarded; for before the age of fourteen, and after sixty three, Phlebotomie should not be administred, for that it diminisheth that which is the greatest nourisher both of the decrepid age, and the tender youth, viz. blood; wherefore in these avoid Phlebotomie, unless the case be desperate, as in some Hectick Feaver or the like, and then draw not much blood neither, but only open a vein for the cooling of the body.

其次要顾到年龄；因为十四岁以前和六十三岁以后不应当放血，因为它减少了衰朽之年与稚嫩之年两者最大的滋养者，即血；所以对这些人要避免放血，除非情形危急，如某种消耗热之类，那时也不要放很多血，只是开一条静脉来使身体降温。

Thirdly, the custom of the Patient is to be regarded; for as Usus est secunda natura, Use is a second nature, as we say, Phlebotomy is not any wise dangerous to those that are accustomed therewith, but it may prove dangerous to the unaccustomed; for sometimes it may breed an infirmity; wherefore let such refrain Phlebotomie, unless necessity very much require.

第三要顾到病人的习惯；因为正如俗话所说，习惯是第二天性，放血对习惯了它的人毫无危险，但对不习惯的人可能危险；因为它有时会引起病痛；所以这样的人要避免放血，除非非常必要。

Fourthly, the strength of the Patients body is to be observed or considered; for upon every slight occasion, weak constitutions are not to draw blood, but in a strong constitution, there is not altogether so much danger, &c.

第四要注意或考虑病人身体的力气；因为体质弱的人不可因每一点小事就放血，但在强壮的体质，危险就不那么大，等等。

If necessity inforceth, thou needest not stand to elect a time (as in Apoplexies and Squinancies) but for such infirmities as may admit of so much time, thou mayst follow these Rules, and if thou art wise thou wilt not neglect them, no not if thou wert hired thereunto, when thou hast made experiment thereof.

若迫不得已（如在中风与喉痹时），你不必停下来择时，但对那些容许有这么多时间的病痛，你可以遵循这些规则，你若明智，一旦试验过，即使有人雇你去忽视它们，你也不会忽视。

Let the Lord of the Ascendent, sign of the Ascendent, and the Moon, as also its Depositor be strong and free from the configurations of Saturn, Mars, or the Sun; for these hinder Phlebotomie, for the Moon in Conjunction with either of them hindreth Phlebotomy a day before, and a day after the bodily or Partile Conjunction; in Opposition of them, hindreth 12. hours before and after; in a □, 6. hours. The Moon also in Conjunction with Venus or Mercury, hindreth blood-letting (especially if they be combust) 12. hours before and after the Conjunction.

让上升主星、上升星座和月亮，以及她的定位星强，免于土星、火星或太阳的格局；因为这些妨碍放血，因为月亮与它们中任何一个会合，在星体会合或精确会合之前一天和之后一天妨碍放血；与它们对冲，妨碍前后十二小时；四分，六小时。月亮与金星或水星会合，也在会合前后十二小时妨碍放血（尤其若它们焦伤）。

Remember that the Moon be not in that sign of the Zodiack or the Lord of the Ascendent, Note. signifying the member to be struck; neither place the Moon in Leo, nor (if you apply Ventosies) let her be in Taurus, &c.

记住，月亮或上升主星不要在代表要下刀之肢体的那个黄道星座，注意：也不要把月亮放在狮子，若施用吸角，也不要让她在金牛，等等。

The ☽ in ☌, * or Δ of ♃ or ♀ if not combust, causeth good blood-letting, as also in □ of them, so the ☽ be in a good sign, &c.

月亮与木星或金星会合、六分或三分，若它们不焦伤，使放血良好，四分它们也是如此，只要月亮在好的星座，等等。

The Moon also in a good sign and free from impediment in * or Δ of Saturn, Mars, or the Sun, causeth good extraction of blood.

月亮也在好的星座、免于阻碍，与土星、火星或太阳成六分或三分，使血放得好。

Extract blood Melancholy when the Moon is in Libra or Aquaries, the reins, buttocks and legs being excepted.

为忧郁质的人放血，在月亮在天秤或水瓶时，但肾、臀与腿除外。

Cholerick, In any member when she is in Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces, the brest, secrets and feet excepted.

胆汁质的人，月亮在巨蟹、天蝎或双鱼时，任何肢体都可以，胸、私处与足除外。

Flegmatick, the Moon in Aries or Sagittary, the head and thighs excepted.

黏液质的人，月亮在白羊或射手，头与股除外。

Let blood Sanguine, from the Conjunction of the Moon with the Sun to the first Square. Cholerick, from the first Square to the Opposition. Flegmatick, from the Opposition to the last Square. Melancholy, from the last Square to the next Conjunction.

多血质的人放血，从月亮与太阳会合到第一个四分。胆汁质的人，从第一个四分到对冲。黏液质的人，从对冲到最后一个四分。忧郁质的人，从最后一个四分到下一次会合。

Note also, that young men and women ought to Phlebotomize from the Conjunction of the Moon with the Sun to the first Square; from the first Square or quarter to the Opposition or Full, Middle age; from the Opposition or Full to the last Square or Quarter, elder years; from the last Square or Quarter to the Conjunction or Change, old age, if necessity so require that they must be let blood.

还要注意，青年男女应当从月亮与太阳会合到第一个四分放血；从第一个四分或弦月到对冲或满月，是中年人；从对冲或满月到最后一个四分或弦月，是较年长的人；从最后一个四分或弦月到会合或新月，是老年人，若必须给他们放血的话。

What hath been said of Phlebotomy, Note. is also to be understood in applying Ventosies.

注意：关于放血所说的，也要理解为适用于施用吸角。

CHAP. XIII. Of the Physitians going to the Patient.

第十三章　论医生去看病人。

ALways make the Ascendent, the tenth, seventh and fourth, and their Lords as strong as you can; also place the Fortunes therein; for the Ascendent being well dignified, and its Lord, and the Fortunes therein, signifie that the Patient shall be bettered by the Physitian; the tenth, that the Patient shall be obedient and ruled by the Physitian; the seventh, that the Physitian shall be able to go through with his cure; the fourth, that the Physick shall work its effect.

始终要使上升、第十宫、第七宫和第四宫及其主星尽可能强；也把吉星放在其中；因为上升有良好尊贵，其主星也是，吉星又在其中，表示病人会因医生而好转；第十宫，表示病人会顺从医生、听他调理；第七宫，表示医生能够把他的治疗进行到底；第四宫，表示药会起效。

If the Infortunes be in any of these places, Note. or they or their Lords indigent and weak, judge the contrary, &c.

若凶星在这些位置的任何一处，注意：或它们或其主星贫弱，就判断相反，等等。

Fortifie also the ninth house and its Lord, also the Moon and its Dispositor; for if the ninth house, and its Lord be unfortunate, afflicted or weak, though the Physitian be never so deserving, he shall be ill thought of, mistrusted, undervalued, and shall gain no credit by his Patient or endeavours.

也要加强第九宫及其主星，还有月亮及其定位星；因为若第九宫及其主星不幸、受害或虚弱，医生无论多么配得上，都会被人看轻、不受信任、受低估，从病人或自己的努力中得不到任何名声。

And if to obtain a great reward for his pains and labour, let the Moon be strong and well dignified, and also Jupiter, and let him be in the second house, or in Sextile or Trine thereof, or with the Lord thereof, the which you must also fortifie, and Part of Fortune, and its Dispositor; and if thou canst not make him aspect all these, let him behold Part of Fortune, and as many as thou canst contrive, &c.

若要为他的辛劳得到丰厚的酬报，就让月亮强而有良好的尊贵，木星也是，并让他在第二宫，或与之成六分或三分，或与其主星成六分或三分，第二宫的主星你也要加强，还有福点及其定位星；若你不能使他照看所有这些，就让他照看福点，以及你所能安排的尽可能多的几个，等等。

Let it be the hour of Jupiter that thou first seest thy Patient in (if possible) or take thy journey towards him therein; for so shalt thou gain credit and good repute, Note. whether thou advantage him or no.

若可能，让你第一次见病人是在木星的时辰，或在木星的时辰动身去他那里；因为这样你会得到信任与好名声，注意：不论你是否对他有益。

And thus much shall suffice at this time for administring of Physick and Phlebotomy; let us therefore now proceed to what farther we are to consider in this house, &c.

关于施药与放血，这一次就讲这么多；那么让我们往下讲在这一宫里我们还要考虑的事，等等。

CHAP. XIV. Of Hiring of Servants.

第十四章　论雇用仆人。

MAny things are signified by the 12. houses you have heard in our second Treatise, wherein you finde Servants are signified by the sixth house; wherefore in this place it resteth we speak somewhat of them; the Arabians and ancient Astrologers in their Volumes have delivered Rules for Electing a time to buy Servants; for that in their days they were used to be bought and sold (being slaves) as horses (or any other thing for the use of man) in Markets:

你在我们的第二卷里已经听过十二宫代表的许多事，在那里你发现仆人由第六宫代表；所以在这里剩下的是我们讲一些关于他们的事；阿拉伯人和古代星占家在他们的书卷里传下了为买仆人择时的规则；因为在他们那个时代，仆人（是奴隶）习惯在市场上像马（或任何别的供人使用的东西）一样被买卖：

But since in our Age wherein we live we use no such thing being (by the blessing and mercy of GOD) instructed otherways by his word, and by the bond of charity tyed to be more civil; we shall in this place (it belonging not to us to practise any such matter) omit their Rules of Buying, and deliver you some Rules for hiring of Servants, &c. which if thou findest not in their Volumes, ought not therefore to be absolutely slighted; for it followeth not that because they found out many rare things in their study of this most heavenly and admirable Science, that no body else is able, and so to stand at the same stay they left us, &c.

但既然在我们所处的这个时代，我们（蒙神的祝福与怜悯）已被他的话另外教导，又被仁爱的纽带约束而更加文明，不用这种事；我们在这里（这不是我们该做的事）就略去他们买卖的规则，给你一些雇用仆人等等的规则，这些规则你若在他们的书卷里找不到，也不应因此完全轻视；因为并不能因为他们在研究这门最属天、最可赞叹的学问时发现了许多稀有之事，就推出别人都不能，就停留在他们留给我们的那个地步，等等。

Fortifie then the ascendent, its Lord, the Moon, its Dispositor, the Part of Fortune, and its Dispositor, also the sign and Lord of the sixth, and its Dispositor, and let the Fortunes be above the earth; make also the Lord of the sixth apply to the Lord of the Ascendent, or make the Lord of the Ascendent dispose of the Lord of the sixth; this makes thy servant diligent and respectfull to thee, and loving: But if there be an Infortune in the fourth, or sixth, the servant will be unfaithfull, a fugitive, and no wise constant.

那么要加强上升、其主星、月亮、她的定位星、福点及其定位星，还有第六宫的星座和主星，以及他的定位星，并让吉星在地平之上；也使第六宫主星入相于上升主星，或使上升主星成为第六宫主星的定位星；这使你的仆人勤勉、尊敬你、爱你：但若有凶星在第四宫或第六宫，仆人就会不忠，会逃走，丝毫不能持久。

If thou canst not observe all this, place the Lord of the sixth in the Ascendent, or tenth, or in Sextile or Trine therewith; and if thou wouldest have him advantagious to thee in thy estate; place the Lord of the sixth in the second, but let him not be essentially dignified yet free from impediment or affliction of the Malevolents; or if thou canst not place him therein, let him be in Sextile or Trine thereunto, or in reception of the Lord of the second, or disposed of by him, &c.

若这一切你不能遵守，就把第六宫主星放在上升或第十宫，或与之成六分或三分；若你想要他在你的产业上对你有利；就把第六宫主星放在第二宫，但不要让他有必然尊贵，却要免于凶星的阻碍或侵害；若你不能把他放在那里，就让他与之成六分或三分，或受第二宫主星接纳，或以他为定位星，等等。
