卷三·第八节第五至六章　讲和、平叛、攻城与置办兵器

CHAP. V. Of making of Peace, suppressing or encountring of Rebels, and storming of Castles and Towns.

第五章　论讲和，镇压或迎击叛军，以及攻打城堡与城镇。

LOok in the fourth Section, and second Chapter of this Treatise, where as touching agreements and making of friendship between party and party, we have treated already, and you will find we have sufficiently treated hereof; wherefore here again to insist, were both superfluous and ridiculous; for those rules, mutatis mutandis, will serve also for this matter; onely remember you still are rightly informed of your true significators, for then you may be sure you are right for this matter, &c.

请看本卷第四节第二章，我们在那里已经讨论过两方之间的协议与结交友谊，你会发现我们已经充分讨论过这件事；所以在这里再坚持讲，既多余又可笑；因为那些规则，只要作必要的变更，也适用于这件事；只要记住你始终正确知道你真正的征象星，那时你就可以确信你在这件事上是对的，等等。

In suppressing also of Rebels, or invading them, you are especially to regard your significators, remembring always that the Ascendent is for the Rebel or Rebels. As touching the ordering the matter to your content and desire, follow the same rules you have heard delivered you in the foregoing Chapter of this eighth Section.

在镇压或进攻叛军时，你也要特别顾到你的征象星，始终记住上升代表叛军。至于把这事安排得合你的心意，就遵循你在本第八节前一章里听过的同样规则。

The Sages have taught that in this manner of Judgement you have special regard to the place of the Lord of the Ascendent; for if he be in the East-part of Heaven, place the Moon in the West; and if he be in the Southern part, place her in the Northern; and so on the contrary if he be in the West, or North part.

贤人们教导说，在这种判断中，你要特别顾到上升主星的位置；因为若他在天的东部，就把月亮放在西部；若他在南部，就把她放在北部；若他在西部或北部，就反过来。

Remember to fortifie Mars, Mercury and the Moon, as you have already heard, and you cannot do amiss.

记住要加强火星、水星和月亮，如你已经听过的，你就不会做错。

Also when thou settest out to war, have regard to the three superiour Planets, and see whether they are direct or retrograde; for if they are retrograde, set out at that very instant they become direct; but if they be direct, let your time be when they become retrograde; also if they be oriental, when they become occidental; if occidental, when they become oriental; if combust, when they become free; if free, when they become combust; or when they are gone out of the signs they were in when the occasion of the war was given; for when a Planet changeth his sign, he also changeth his former property and signification; but if Mars be received in the hour of the revolution of the year of the World by house or exaltation of any of the Fortunes, the war ceaseth for that year, or at least for the time of that revolution, and peace and tranquillity followeth.

还有，当你出兵作战时，要顾到三颗上位行星，看它们是顺行还是逆行；因为若它们逆行，就在它们转为顺行的那一刻出发；但若它们顺行，就让你的时间在它们转为逆行之时；同样，若它们东出，就在它们转为西入之时；若西入，就在转为东出之时；若焦伤，就在它们脱离焦伤之时；若不焦伤，就在它们转为焦伤之时；或者在它们离开引起战争之事发生时所在的星座之时；因为行星换了星座，也就换了他从前的性质与意义；但若在世界之年的回归时刻，火星以庙或旺受任何吉星接纳，那一年战争就会停止，或至少在那次回归的期间停止，随之而来的是和平与安宁。

And if thou wouldst elect a fit time to destroy Castles and strong holds, it is requisite you know the proper Ascendent of the place at the first building thereof, and then see to the places of the Planets at that time, and to the place and strength of the Lord of the Ascendent, and place him in the opposite sign and part of Heaven, and debilitate him as much as thou canst, and if possible, place him disposed of by the Lord of your Ascendent, or afflicted by him, and let your Ascendent be a fiëry or aëry sign, and the Moon and Lord of the Ascendent also in signs of the same nature.

若你要为摧毁城堡与要塞择一个合宜的时间，就必须知道那地方最初建造时的本来上升，然后看那时诸行星的位置，以及上升主星的位置与力量，把他放在相对的星座与天的部分，尽你所能削弱他，若可能，使他受你的上升主星支配，或受他侵害，并让你的上升是火象或风象星座，月亮和上升主星也在同样性质的星座。

Or let the sign ascending be a sign of right ascention, and the Lord of the Ascendent occidental, and the Planet that ariseth next after the Ascendent slow in motion, and applying to a Planet of the same infirmity, and entring his Fall, and cadent from an Angle; but let him not be retrograde.

或者让上升的星座是直升星座，上升主星西入，紧接着上升升起的那颗行星行速迟缓，入相于一颗同样虚弱的行星，那行星正进入他的落，并从角宫落下；但不要让他逆行。

Or else let the Moon be oriental and decreasing in light and motion, cadent and applying also to a Planet that is also slow in motion, cadent and entring his fall, or the fall of the Moon, viz. Scorpio. Also if the Moon be above the earth, let her apply to a Planet under the earth, and let not the Lord of the Ascendent be retrograde.

或者让月亮东出，在光与行速上亏减，在果宫，也入相于一颗同样行速迟缓、在果宫、正进入他的落或月亮之落即天蝎的行星。还有，若月亮在地平之上，让她入相于一颗地平之下的行星，并且不要让上升主星逆行。

This is good if it be done in the last quarter of the Moon, and she in no aspect of the Sun, or her own House, or the Lord of the House wherein she is; and by this thou mayst order thy matter at pleasure, considering what hath been said before, the which by varying thy rules thou mayst accomplish.

这若在月亮的最后一个象限做就好，并且她不与太阳成相位，也不与她自己的庙或她所在之庙的主星成相位；凭这些你可以随意安排你的事，考虑前面所说的，变通你的规则就能做成。

Yet as touching invading of Enemies, and suppressing of them, I think good yet further to inlarge, thus.

不过关于进攻敌人、镇压敌人，我认为最好再进一步扩充，如下。

In setting out against, or invading of an Enemy, it is not safe whilst the ☽ is strong, for the Ascendent and the ☽ are significators of the Rebels: Neither is it safe for those Rebels to stirr when she is weak. Understand the same of the Lord of the Ascendent.

在出发对抗或进攻敌人时，月亮强时不安全，因为上升和月亮是叛军的征象星：月亮弱时，叛军起事也不安全。对上升主星也照此理解。

But it is very necessary to begin against Rebels or an Enemy, when Mars is in the East part of Heaven, and between the tenth degree of Taurus and the tenth of Leo, and from the tenth degree of Scorpio to the tenth of Aquaries: This thou must observe if the Enemy or Rebels are Eastward.

但当火星在天的东部，在金牛第十度到狮子第十度之间，以及从天蝎第十度到水瓶第十度时，开始对付叛军或敌人是非常必要的：若敌人或叛军在东方，你就必须遵守这一条。

But if they are Westward, begin to invade them when Mars is in the West part of Heaven, from the tenth degree of Leo to the tenth degree of Scorpio, and from the tenth degree of Aquaries to the tenth degree of Taurus.

但若他们在西方，就在火星在天的西部，从狮子第十度到天蝎第十度，以及从水瓶第十度到金牛第十度时，开始进攻他们。

And truly it will be advantageous for both parties; if they are careful of not beginning their business in evil hours, viz. when the ☽ is combust, or joyned to the Sun in one degree and minute, and for the space of twelve hours after, viz. Combust hours, for these times are to be shunned in the beginning of any good work, and so likewise at the time of any Athazer: You have heard what Athazer is, in the second Book, and last Chapter.

说真的，若双方都留心不在凶时开始他们的事，这对双方都有利；凶时即月亮焦伤之时，或与太阳在同一度同一分相连之时，以及此后十二小时的时间，即焦伤时辰，因为这些时间在开始任何好的工作时都要避开，同样在任何阿塔泽尔之时也要避开：阿塔泽尔是什么，你已在第二卷最后一章听过。

It resteth therefore for the better understanding and instruction of my Reader, I declare unto them which are Combust hours and unfortunate, and which are again to be chosen.

所以为了让我的读者更好地理解、受教，剩下的就是我向他们说明哪些是焦伤而不幸的时辰，哪些又是要选的时辰。

The first twelve hours then after the Conjunction of the Sun and the Moon, or (more plainly) after the change of the Moon, are Combust and unfortunate hours to begin any thing, the subsequent seventy two hours are good and fortunate, and the twelve hours following them are again unfortunate and Combust hours; but the seventy two following again after, fortunate; and so throughout all the month thou mayst judge exactly hereof, by duly observing the number of these hours night and day: This is so plain, I shall not need to give you any example.

那么日月会合之后，或（说得更明白些）新月之后的头十二个小时，是开始任何事都焦伤而不幸的时辰，其后的七十二个小时是好而吉利的，再后面的十二个小时又是不幸的焦伤时辰；但再后面的七十二个小时是吉利的；整个月都这样，你可以通过日夜仔细数这些时辰，准确地判断这事：这非常明白，我不必给你举任何例子。

Onely know thus much, that you are to reckon your Combust hours from the very hour and minute of the Conjunction of the Luminaries either day or night; and so the fortunate hours from the time the Combust hours leave off, allowing still seventy two hours for their number, and you cannot fail of the exact performance hereof.

只要知道这一点：你要从两光会合的那个时、那个分算起你的焦伤时辰，不论白天黑夜；吉利的时辰从焦伤时辰结束之时算起，始终给它们七十二小时之数，你就不会算不准。

If any war or quarrel be begun in these Combust hours, the beginner shall be destroyed, or there shall much evil and damage befall his person and his souldiers and assistants, viz. if it be begun in the first four hours of any of the twelve Combust hours, the beginner shall be destroyed; in the second four hours he shall be wounded or damnified in his body or own person; And if it be begun in the four last hours, his souldiers and assistants shall chiefly suffer.

若任何战争或争吵在这些焦伤时辰中开始，发起者就会被毁，或他本人及其兵士与援助者会遭许多祸害与损失，即：若在十二个焦伤时辰中任何一组的头四个小时开始，发起者会被毁；在第二个四小时，他会在身体或本人上受伤或受损；若在最后四个小时开始，主要是他的兵士与援助者受害。

CHAP. VI. Of buying of Arms, and preparing of Instruments of War, and Ships or Gallies.

第六章　论买兵器，置办战争器械以及船只或桨帆船。

IN buying of Arms, War-horses or Instruments of War, either offensive or defensive, see that the Moon be either in her own House, exaltation or triplicity joyned to Mars in the latter end of the month, and in the beginning to Saturn; for all the Ancients conclude her infortunated in the beginning of the month when she is joyned to Mars, and in the latter end when to Saturn.

在买兵器、战马或战争器械时，不论是攻是守，要看月亮在她自己的庙、旺或三方，在月末与火星相连，在月初与土星相连；因为古人都断定，她在月初与火星相连时、在月末与土星相连时，是受害的。

In preparing of Arms, Armies, or Bands or Instruments of War, let your Ascendent be fixed, and if possible all the four Angles, and let them be signs of right ascentions, and place the Moon and the Lord of the Ascendent in an Angle, especially in the tenth, oriental and essentially strong, and let the Moon be increasing in light and motion.

在置办兵器、军队或队伍或战争器械时，让你的上升是固定星座，若可能，四个角宫都是，并让它们是直升星座，把月亮和上升主星放在角宫，尤其是第十宫，东出而必然尊贵强，并让月亮在光与行速上增长。

Fortifie also Mars as much as you can, as also the Lord of the Conjunction or prevention of the Luminaries before the beginning of your work, and see that the first application of the Moon after her Conjunction with the Sun, or prevention, be to a fortunate Planet, and let the Lord of the Ascendent be entring an angle if you cannot place him therein, and in aspect of the fourth House, and this is also good for setting out of Ships: but more of this in the ninth House, where we shall treat of such Elections as conduce to the building of Ships and Gallies; wherefore I shall in this place referr you thereunto.

也尽你所能加强火星，还有你开工之前那次两光会合或对冲的主星，并看月亮与太阳会合或对冲之后的第一个入相，是入相于吉星，若你不能把上升主星放在角宫，就让他正进入角宫，并照看第四宫，这对船只出航也好：但关于这一点，在第九宫我们讲有助于建造船只与桨帆船的择日时会讲更多；所以在这里我请你去看那里。
