Of the Sommer time.
ALl Globes (according to the Axiome) whose Axio [...] of Prouolution are paralell in one obliquely one to another: so our or be Axis, inclining to the Sphericall body of light, prouolueth surface to surface with obliquation and paralax, and now beeing the xi of Iune in the nearest poynt of inclination, shewes eury part of his superficies to the Sunnes view, with greatest inequalitic and differance; and consequently this his inclination to greatest shew of Sunshine, and least shadow on the Sunne (after the receaue oft opinion) in the greatest Northerly declination, making with vs, longest day and shortest night: which eyther way taken, are vsually receiued for the third part of the Astronomicall yeare, Ifind that will be much disposed to heate and drought, (not much different from his naturall inclination) and it will be much disposed to thunder, not much differing from the dispose of Summer 1616. The Infirmities are like to be Sweatings, Apostumes, Inflammations, Hecticke, Agues, and other Infirmities proceeding of Choller.
In this Season we must eate little and often. (as Galen teacheth) because we neede more often Nourishing, and Drinke more abundantly Wine, being qualified.
Of Autumne.
ANy two Orbs hauing their motion in a perpendiculer line one to another, including both their Axis obiect Plane to Plane, directly each to other: but our darke obscure opacous, and sphearicall Orbe (the xii. of September) prouoluing himselfe in such a habitude to the Globe of Lights conuere, obiecteth each por [...]ion of his plane in equall plane, to equall elumination, and so maketh day and night alike-long all this world ouer. The moment of which habitude, giueth the beginning to the last quarter of the Astronomicall yeare call [...]d Autumne or Haruest.
The Dyscrasit of this time of the yeare, is the cause of many Diseases, and will be now the occasion of Consumptions, Strangurie, Goutes, Collicke, and Illiacke passions, Dropsies; besides many other Phlegmaticke griefes.
