When fhe comes to the next Square, it is the 3d Cryfis. 5.

Now.80 The Aftrologicall Now the Judicial! dayes are the middle between the two Cryfis, theré may be difcerned alfo an alteration of the difeafe, or fudden ehange thereof, when the Azoon comes to be diftant from her true place, at the time of the parties firft falling fick 45 degrees,fo likewife when fhe is diftant 90 degrees, and alfo when fhe is diftant 135 degrees: and asthe Cryfis is the fudden change of the difeafe, or altera- tionfor better for worfe, viz. tending either to health, or a further fickneffe, fo the dayes criticall, and decretory, fhewa more certaine and fure judge- ment, whereby the Phyfitian may fally difcerne which way the difeate will tend,or whereby the Cryfis may be exadly judg- ed, for the decretory or crytical ayes,declares a more fare judg- + tent of che infirmity afflicting, ize Phyfitlen, 8x viz. whether it will be more powerfull, or ina leffe meafure at thofe times, when the exact Cryfis is,for when the Cryfisis, there is a fharp contention bee twixt nature and the difeafe,and if at the time of this Cryfis, na- tureis more prevalent then the difeafe, it isthen a good figne; but on the contrary, if the fick- neffe prevaile, then the cryfis is dangerous, but I fhall leave the profecution of thefe things un- till fome other opportunity be offered : onely by the way, ob= ferve thefe Aphorifmes. x, Then feeing that it is moft certaine. that the Adoon by her motion fheweth the true cryfis, and that alfo the judicial or cri- ticall dayes are found out by her motion in the Zodiack,then we muft be fureto have regard how fhe is difpofed, whether fortunate or unfortunate, and - mina es how:82 The Aftrolegicall how fhe is afpected by the bene= volentPlanets,orthe malevolent or malignant Planets: and far- ther obferve, at the time of the’ trne-cryfis, whether fhe be in configuration with thé Lord of tite 6houle, or Lord of the 8, for if fhe fhall'be at the time of the cryfisin any malevolent a- fpect of the Lord of the 6, it is an ill fign, fo likewife if fhe fhall ean by: the'Lord-of the , it gives great’ canfe to jud; the death of the fick perty upon that cryfis, 2.
