卷三·第八节第七至八章　寻逃犯、审盗贼、察密谈与对弈

CHAP. VII. Of seeking of Fugitives, and examining of Thieves and Malefactors.

第七章　论寻找逃犯，审问盗贼与作恶之人。

A Fugitive, Run-away, or a man broke out of Prison, or by any other manner escaped, is thus to be apprehended or found again; place the Moon when you make inquisition in the same degree as is the Sun, but not within seventeen minutes of his body; and let the Sun also be weak and afflicted, and in the last fifteen degrees of Libra, or in the first fifteen degrees of Scorpio, or else with the head or tail of the Dragon, viz. within 12 degrees before it, or 7 degrees after.

逃犯、逃跑的人，或越狱的人，或以任何别的方式逃脱的人，要这样才能捉到或重新找到：你开始搜查时，把月亮放在与太阳同一度，但不在他本体的十七分之内；也让太阳虚弱受害，在天秤的后十五度，或在天蝎的前十五度，或者与龙头或龙尾在一起，即在它之前十二度以内，或之后七度以内。

But if you cannot thus place them, let them be in the Ascendent, or else let the Sun and the Moon be in Quartile or Opposition or in Sextile or Trine without reception, and weak in those Houses wherein they are; or else let the time wherein you make inquisition be three days before an Eclipse, or one day after; but if possible let it be the Eclipse of the Moon; for by how much you weaken and debilitate the Moon, it is the better in this manner of judgement, for it confoundeth the capacity and weakneth the ability of the Fugitive.

但若你不能这样安排它们，就让它们在上升，或者让太阳和月亮成四分或对冲，或成六分或三分而没有接纳，并在它们所在的宫里虚弱；或者让你搜查的时间在交食前三天，或交食后一天；但若可能，让它是月食；因为你越是削弱、损伤月亮，在这种判断中就越好，因为它扰乱逃犯的心智，削弱逃犯的能力。

But if you would afflict and torment the Fugitive when he is taken, you must place the Moon in her fall or detriment; but if thou wouldst onely imprison him, let the Moon be in Aspect or Conjunction with one of the Malevolents; but place her not in the fourth, neither the Malevolent to whom she is joyned, and let the Lord of the Ascendent be in Conjunction or aspect with the Lord of the seventh, or place the Lord of the Ascendent in the seventh, and the Lord of the seventh in the Ascendent, and let the Moon by no means be in Conjunction or aspect with any Planet in the twelfth; for it being the house of secret plots and deceits, it denotes either that he shall not be taken, or if he be, that he will get away again.

但若你要在逃犯被捕时折磨他、使他受苦，就必须把月亮放在她的落或陷；但若你只想把他关押起来，就让月亮与一颗凶星成相位或会合；但不要把她放在第四宫，也不要把她所会合的那颗凶星放在那里，并让上升主星与第七宫主星会合或成相位，或者把上升主星放在第七宫，把第七宫主星放在上升，并且决不要让月亮与第十二宫中的任何行星会合或成相位；因为那是暗中图谋与欺诈之宫，它表示他捉不到，或即使捉到，也会再逃脱。

Now to cause any Malefactor or Thief to speak and confess truth, Haly saith, as also Albumazar, it is good to place the Moon, and the Planet to whom she applies in humane signs; but herein Bonatus is rather to be followed, who saith the Moon must be in Libra; and if possible, let the Ascendent be Libra, and the Planet that is Lord of the seventh also therein, in Conjunction with the Moon; for Libra being the balance or sign of equality (as you have heard in the second Book) inclineth the Malefactor to speak what is equity, truth and right:

要使任何作恶之人或盗贼说话、供出实情，哈利说，阿布马撒尔也说，把月亮和她所入相的行星放在人形星座是好的；但在这一点上更应遵从博纳提，他说月亮必须在天秤；若可能，让上升是天秤，第七宫主星的那颗行星也在其中，与月亮会合；因为天秤是秤，是均等的星座（如你在第二卷听过的），使作恶之人倾向于说出公平、真实、正当的话：

Haly also saith, it is good to let the Ascendent be one of the signs of right ascentions; and truly it will do very well, if Libra cannot be therein placed; however, be sure you place the Moon, and the Lord of the seventh in Libra.

哈利也说，让上升是一个直升星座是好的；若天秤不能放在上升，这样做确实也很好；不过无论如何，务必把月亮和第七宫主星放在天秤。

CHAP. VIII. To know the Subject and scope of the Whisperings or Clandestine Practices of any two, and of playing at Chesse (or any other sitting Game) to win.

第八章　知道任何两人私语或暗中勾当的主题与目的，以及下棋（或任何别的坐着玩的游戏）取胜。

MAny times it so happeneth that a man may have occasion of suspition of some that he sees secretly laying their heads together or whispering; wherefore to satisfie thy self of what they Treat, have regard unto the first and seventh houses and their Lords; for the Ascendent, its Lord and the Planet from whom the Moon last separated, are significators of him that began the Discourse, and that set his face towards the South; and the seventh, its Lord and the Planet to whom the Moon next applies, shall signifie the other or him that hath his face towards the North or East; the thing on which they discourse shall be signified by the tenth house and its Lord; the fourth house, its Lord and the Dispositor of the Moon, shall shew the end of their Discourse or Result, but you must know the Planet ruling the sign wherein the Moon is, shall have more power then the Lord of the fourth.

常有这样的事：一个人看见有些人暗中凑在一起或低声私语，就有理由起疑；所以要弄清他们在商议什么，就要看第一宫和第七宫及其主星；因为上升、其主星和月亮最后离开的那颗行星，是开始交谈、面朝南的那人的征象星；第七宫、其主星和月亮下一个入相的行星，代表另一人，即面朝北或东的那人；他们所谈之事由第十宫及其主星代表；第四宫、其主星和月亮的定位星，表示他们谈话的结局或结果，但你要知道，月亮所在星座的主星，比第四宫主星更有力。

Wherefore if you finde that the Lord of the tenth apply, or is rather inclining to the Ascendent, or be in reception with its Lord, say that the party signified by the Ascendent shall obtain or prevail with the other in what they discourse; but if you finde the Lord of the tenth, and seventh in the like manner, then judge the contrary.

所以若你发现第十宫主星入相于上升，或更倾向于上升，或与上升主星接纳，就说上升所代表的一方，在他们所谈之事上会得手，或胜过另一方；但若你发现第十宫主星以同样方式对第七宫，就作相反的判断。

See also if the Lord of the Ascendent be a fortunate and good Planet, or evil and unfortunate; for if it be either Jupiter, Venus, or the Sun, and they free from the Malevolent aspects of the Infortunes, say the party signified by the Ascendent shall speak truth and be honest in his dealings and words; but if he be Saturn, Mars, or Mercury, he shall dissemble, lye and deal treacherously; in like manner judge of the party signified by the seventh, according to his significator &c.

也看上升主星是吉利的好行星，还是凶而不幸的；因为若他是木星、金星或太阳，而且免于凶星的凶相位，就说上升所代表的那人会说实话，言行诚实；但若他是土星、火星或水星，他就会掩饰、说谎、背信行事；同样，依第七宫所代表那人的征象星判断他，等等。

Look to what Planet or part of Heaven the significator of lies and treacheries casteth his Square or Opposition and aspect, and say to such men or things signified by the Planet beheld or the place of Heaven, he intends mischief; In like manner, judge he intends good if his significator be fortunate, especially to those men and things signified by the Planet and place of Heaven beheld, &c.

看说谎与背信的征象星向哪颗行星或天的哪一部分投去四分或对冲与相位，就说他对那颗被照的行星或那一部分天所代表的人或事心怀恶意；同样，若他的征象星吉利，就判断他怀着好意，尤其是对那颗被照的行星和那一部分天所代表的人和事，等等。

So likewise if you finde the Lord of the tenth fortunate, you may judge they treat of honest, good and lawfull things; but if he be unfortunate, of unlawfull and base businesses; Examine the nature of the sign, and the Planet that is Lord thereof, and you shall soon be acquainted with the nature and quality thereof.

同样，若你发现第十宫主星吉利，你可以判断他们商议的是正当、良好、合法的事；但若他不吉，就是不合法、卑劣的勾当；考察那星座的性质，以及作其主星的那颗行星，你很快就会熟知那件事的性质与品质。

And if the Lord of the fourth, or the Planet signifying the accomplishment or end of the business be malevolent and unfortunate, the business in agitation shall end with mischief, treachery and deceit; but if he be a fortune and well dignified, judge the contrary.

若第四宫主星，或表示事情完成或结局的那颗行星，是凶星而不吉，所谈之事就会以祸害、背信与欺诈告终；但若他是吉星且尊贵良好，就作相反的判断。

And now as touching gaming, you are to understand that the Ascendent and its Lord are significators of the party that challengeth or beginneth first; the seventh house and its Lord, of the other: Fortifie therefore the Ascendent and its Lord (if that side thou favourest) and debilitate the seventh and his Lord; for then shall the party signified by the Ascendent win; and if thou placest the Lord of the eighth in the second, or applying thereunto or to its Lord, or the Lord of the Ascendent, it will be the better; and if thou canst not place him thus, put him in the Ascendent, but let him be in reception with the Lord of the second or first; but let him not receive the Lord of the second, especially when they are in play.

现在说到博弈，你要明白上升及其主星是挑战或先开始那一方的征象星；第七宫及其主星是另一方的：所以加强上升及其主星（若你偏向那一方），削弱第七宫及其主星；因为那时上升所代表的一方就会赢；若你把第八宫主星放在第二宫，或入相于第二宫或其主星，或入相于上升主星，就更好；若你不能这样安排他，就把他放在上升，但让他与第二宫主星或第一宫主星接纳；但不要让他接纳第二宫主星，尤其在他们正在玩的时候。

Let also the Moon, when they begin, separate from a Fortune and apply unto another, and let it be above the Earth; place also the face or brest of him you intend shall win against the Moon, and let her be fortunate and strong, least she prove more advantagious to the other.

也让月亮在他们开始时离开一颗吉星，入相于另一颗吉星，并让她在地平之上；也把你想让他赢的那人的脸或胸对着月亮，并让她吉利而强，以免她反而更有利于另一方。

He that challengeth or desireth another to play, if thou wouldest have him win, place his face opposite to the Moon, and let her be in the East part of Heaven; but if thou wouldest have the challenged to be gainer, place the Moon in the West part of the Heavens, and let him sit in the East part of the room with his face against her.

挑战或邀别人来玩的那人，若你要他赢，就把他的脸对着月亮，并让月亮在天的东部；但若你要被挑战的那人得益，就把月亮放在天的西部，让他坐在房间的东边，脸对着她。

If the Ascendent be a movable sign, and the Lord thereof in a movable sign, as also the Moon when the Game is begun, they will not continue long in play; if it be fixed, and the Lord thereof and the Moon in fixed signs, judge the contrary; if common, indifferent, and as soon as they have left off, others will begin.

若上升是启动星座，其主星也在启动星座，开局时月亮也是，他们就不会玩很久；若是固定星座，其主星和月亮也在固定星座，就作相反的判断；若是双体星座，则不长不短，而且他们一停下，别人就会接着开始。

If the Moon apply unto a Fortune, he that begins shall win, but if to an Infortune, he shall lose; if the Moon apply to a Fortune, and then immediatly after to an Infortune, he shall win at first, and lose at last: But if she apply to an Infortune, and then immediatly after to a Fortune, he shall lose at first and win at last; In like manner if she apply unto a malevolent, the challenger or he that beginneth shall lose; and so in the same manner judge of the other.

若月亮入相于吉星，先开始的人会赢，但若入相于凶星，他就会输；若月亮入相于吉星，随即又入相于凶星，他会先赢后输：但若她入相于凶星，随即又入相于吉星，他会先输后赢；同样，若她入相于凶星，挑战者或先开始的人就会输；对另一方也照同样方式判断。

In playing at Chess let the Moon apply to Mercury, and afterwards to Mars, for that in this Game there is variety of Play; and if the Moon be in reception also with them both, it will be the better; and if the sign be common, neither of the Gamesters will advantage themselves much.

下棋时，让月亮入相于水星，然后入相于火星，因为这种游戏变化多端；若月亮还与这两颗星都接纳，就更好；若星座是双体的，两个下棋的人都不会占多少便宜。

Moreover in playing at Tables, let the Moon apply to Venus, or Mercury, and if a Fortune be in the Ascendent, the beginner shall win, especially if an Infortune be in the seventh; in like manner judge on the other side if the Fortune be in the seventh, and the Malevolent in the Ascendent; also if the Lord of the Ascendent be in the Mid-heaven, the beginner shall win; and if the Lord of the Ascendent, and the Lord of the seventh be in Opposition, they shall fall out in their play.

此外打双陆时，让月亮入相于金星或水星，若有一颗吉星在上升，先开始的人会赢，尤其若有一颗凶星在第七宫；同样，若吉星在第七宫、凶星在上升，就对另一方作同样的判断；还有若上升主星在中天，先开始的人会赢；若上升主星与第七宫主星成对冲，他们就会在玩时闹翻。

When the Lord of the Ascendent is Retrograde, it signifieth the beginner shall cozen; but if both the Lord of the Ascendent and Lord of the seventh be equally well dignified, in the tenth there shall not be much winning on either side; also when Mercury and the Moon are in the Ascendent, they shall have many words and wrangle in their Play, and if Mars be in the Ascendent, they shall tell many lyes, especially the beginner.

上升主星逆行时，表示先开始的人会作弊；但若上升主星和第七宫主星尊贵相等，在第十宫，双方都不会赢多少；还有水星和月亮在上升时，他们玩时会多话、争吵，若火星在上升，他们会说许多谎，尤其是先开始的人。

But if Saturn be in the Ascendent, there shall be no winning on either side, but after a tedious dispute they shall leave off and draw stakes; and if Jupiter be in the Ascendent, they shall part in choler; and if Venus be therein they shall break off merrily; and if the Moon be there, he that ought to have it go on his side shall quickly win; you have heard before of Mars and Mercury, &c.

但若土星在上升，双方都不会赢，经过冗长的争执后，他们会罢手、撤回赌注；若木星在上升，他们会气愤而散；若金星在那里，他们会欢喜而散；若月亮在那里，本该赢的那一方很快就会赢；火星和水星，你在前面已听过了，等等。

Note, that when the sign ascending is a common sign at the beginning of any two playing, it signifies that as soon as they have left off, others shall begin; and thus much for this; remember what hath been said, and you are well enough; also let the Moon when you go out of your house intending to play be in your face, and the Lord of the Ascendent applying to the Fortunes, and in the mid-heaven or in the eleventh house, and how ever, let him be above the earth, free from combustion, and the affliction of the Malevolents.

注意，任何两人开始博弈时，若上升星座是双体星座，就表示他们一停下，别人就会接着开始；这件事就讲这么多；记住所说的，你就够用了；还有当你出门要去博弈时，让月亮在你的面前，上升主星入相于吉星，在中天或第十一宫，无论如何，让他在地平之上，免于焦伤，也免于凶星的侵害。
