卷四·第一节第四章　富贵者、军人、教士、学人与妇女的征象星

CHAP. IV. Of the Significators of Rich and Noblemen, the Kings Standard or Armour-Bearer; also Clergy-men, and of Students, Merchants, Lawyers, and Women in general: also Fryers and Monks; and these according to the significations of the Planets.

第四章　论富人与贵族、国王的旗手或执甲者的征象星；也论教士、学者、商人、律师与一般妇女；还有托钵修士与僧侣；这些都依各行星的征象而定。

I Shall here only give you the general Significators of these according to the Antients, as brief as may be, that I may proceed to the second Section, having at large spoken of them already in the second Book.

这里我只照古人的说法，尽量简短地给你这些人的一般征象星，好让我进到第二节，因为在第二卷里我已经详细讲过他们了。

Wherefore know, that Rich and Noblemen are signified by Jupiter and the Lord of the sign in which he is located in the Sun his ingress into Aries.

所以要知道，富人与贵族由木星，以及太阳进入白羊时木星所在星座的主星来代表。

Souldiers, Armour or Standard-Bearers, Generals of Armies and the like, are understood by Mars.

军人、执甲者或旗手、军队的将领之类，由火星来理解。

The ninth house and the Lord thereof, denotes Clergy-men particularly, and generally they are signified by Jupiter: Also Judges, and the graver sort of men.

第九宫及其主星特别代表教士，而一般来说他们由木星代表；法官和较庄重的人也是如此。

Students, Merchants, and Lawyers, and Scribes, Clerks, and all Pen-men, Picture-drawers, and ingenious wits; also youth and young men in general, are signified by Mercury.

学者、商人、律师，以及书记、文书和一切执笔之人、画像的人和机巧之才；还有一般的青年与年轻人，都由水星代表。

Venus generally denotes women and all females (see chap. 5. Book the 2.) and the Moon the vulgar and rural sort of People: as the Sun, you have heard, doth Emperours and Kings.

金星一般代表妇女和一切女性（见第二卷第五章），月亮代表庶民与乡下人：正如你听过的，太阳代表皇帝与国王。

And lastly, all such as live obscurely and devoutly to the service of God, as Monks, Abbots, Fryers, and the like, amongst the Papists (as in the 1. chap. of the second Book) and amongst us such as slight all things in the World, in comparison of Gods Service and Divine Mediation, are signified by Saturn. As touching Cities and Countries subject both to the signs and Planets, you have also fully heard them declared in the Second Book, where we treat of them.

最后，一切隐居而虔诚地事奉上帝的人，如天主教徒当中的僧侣、修道院长、托钵修士之类（如第二卷第一章所说），以及我们当中那些把世上一切都看得远不如事奉上帝和神圣默想的人，由土星代表。至于隶属于星座和行星的城市与国家，你在第二卷讲到它们的地方也已经充分听过了。

Now to know the state and condition of any of these in a general way in any Annual Revolution, you have no more to do but this; look to your significator, from which judgement is to be required, and see if he be essentially or accidentally strong or assisted, and judge according to his strength or debility good or bad to the parties signified; for if well dignified and located, good may be expected: if afflicted, and impedited, the contrary, &c.

那么要在任何年度回归中大体知道这些人的状况，你只需这样做：看你要从它求判断的那颗征象星，看他在必然尊贵或偶然尊贵上是否强或得助，依他的强弱，对所代表的各方判断吉或凶；因为若尊贵良好、位置良好，可望得好；若受害、受阻，则相反，等等。
