Marked words are the most distinguishing words of T12: iupiter, saturn, iuno, venus, gods, mars, earth, titan, love, fair.
I see't see the Planets Where, how they are disposed, the Sun and Mercury, Mars with the Dragon's tail, the third house, And pars fortuna in the Imo coeli. Then Iupiter in the twelve, the Cacadaemon. And Venus in the second, inferna porta. I see it, peace; then Saturn i'th' fift, Luna i'th' seventh, and much of Scorpio, That Mars his gaudium rising in the ascendant, That joint with Libra too, the house of Venus, And Imum Coeli, Mars his exultation Ith' seventh house, Aries being his natural house, And where he is now seated: and all these show him To be the Almuter. Yes he's Lord of the genitures, Whether you examine it by Ptolemy's way, Or Nasahales, Laell, or Alkindus. No other Planet hath so many dignities Either by himself, or in regard o'th' cusps. Why hold your tongue then, if you know it; Venus The Lady of the Horoscope, being Libra, The other part Mars rules so that the geniture Being nocturnal, Luna is the highest, None else being in sufficient dignity, She being in Aries in the seventh house Where Sol exalted is the Alchocoden. Yes for you see he hath his termine In the degrees where she is found enjoys By that six dignities. Which are clearly more Than any else that view her i'the scheme. Why I saw this, and could ha' told you too That he beholds her with a trine aspect Here out of Sagitary, almost partly, And how that Mars out of the self same house, (But another sign) here by a platique aspect Looks at the hilage, with a quartile ruling The house where the sun is; all this could I Have told you, but that you will out-run me, and more That this same quartile aspect to the Lady of life, Here the seventh promises some danger, Cauda Draconis being so near Mars, And Caput Algell in the house of death. How Sir? I pray you clear that. What is the question first? Of the Duke's life, what dangers threaten him? Apparent and those sudden: when the Hyley, Or Alchocoden by direction come To a quartile opposition of the place Where Mars is in the geniture (which is now At hand) or else oppose to Mars himself, expect it. But they may be prevented. Wisdom only, That rules the stars may do it, for Mars being Lord of the geniture in Capricorn, Is (if you mark it) now a Sextile here With Venus' Lady of the Horoscope, So she being in her exilium, which is Scorpio And Mars his gaudium; is o'er ruled by him. And clear debillitated, five degrees Beneath her ordinary power, so That at the most she can but mitigate. You cannot name the Persons brings this danger? No, that the stars tells not us, they name no man; That's a work Sir of another place. Tell him whom you suspect, & he'll guess shrewdly. Sir, we do fear one Aubrey, if't 'twere he I should be glad, for we should soon prevent him.

I see't see the Planets Where, how they are dispos'd, the Sunne and Mercury Mars with the Dragos taile, the third house, And pars fortuna in the Imo coeli. Then Iupiter in the twelfe, the Cacadaemon. And Venus in the second, inferna porta. I see it, peace then Satue ith fift, Luna ith'seaventh, and much of Scorpio, That Mars his gaudium rising in the ascendant, That joint with Libra too, the house of Venus, And Imum Coeli, Mars his exultation Ith' seaventh house, Aries being his naturall house, And where he is now seated: and all these shew him To be the Almuter. Yes he's Lord of the gentures, Whether you examine it by Ptolomies way, Or Nasahales, Laell, or Alkindus. No other Planet hath so many dignities Either by himselfe, or in regard o'th Cuspes. Why hold your tongue then, if you know it; Venus The Lady of the Horoscope, being Libra, The other part Mars rules so that the geniture Being nocturnall, Luna is the highest, None else being in sufficient dignitie, She being in Aries in the seaventh house Where Sol exalted is the Alchocoden. Yes for you see he hath his termine In the degrees where she is fand enjoyes By that six dignities. Which are cleerely more Then any else that view her i'the scheme. Why I saw this, and could ha told you to That he beholds her with a trine aspect Here out of Sagitary, almost partly, And how that Mars out of the selfe same house, (But another signe) here by a platique aspect Looks at the hilage, with a quartile ruling The house where the sunne is; all this could I Have told you, but that you will out-run me, and more That this same quartile aspect to the Lady of life, Here the seaventh promises some danger, Cauda Draconis being so neere Mars, And Caput Algell in the house of death. How Sir? I pray you cleere that. What is the question first? Of the Dukes life, what dangers threaten him? Apparent and those suddaine: when the Hyley, Or Alchocoden by direction come To a quartile opposition of the place Where Mars is in the geniture (which is now At hand) or else oppose to Mars himselfe, expect it. But they may be prevented. Wisdome only, That rules the starres may doe it, for Mars being Lord of the geniture in Capricorne, Is (if you mark it) now a Sexile here With Venus Lady of the Horoscope, So she being in her exilium, which is Scorpio And Mars his gaudium; is o're rul'd by him And cleere debillitated, five degrees Beneath her ordinary power, so That at the most she can but mittigate. You cannot name the Persons brings this danger? No, that the starres tells not us, they name no man; Thats a work Sir of another place. Tell him whom you suspect, & hee'l guesse shrewdly Sir, we doe feare one Aubrey, ift twere he I should be glad, for we should soone prevent him.
