THE LESSER KEY OF SOLOMON<br />
with what distinction, is duly and competently manifest; it is spoken already<br />
of the publishing and inspection of the Notes and Orations: now we<br />
shall digresse a litde to speak somthing of the times, it being in part done<br />
already.<br />
How divers Months are to be sought out in the inspection ofthe Notes.<br />
We have spoken already ofthe tearms ofthis Art, wherein the Orations are<br />
to be read, and the Notes to be looked into: it remaineth to declare, how<br />
the Lunations of these Orations are to be inspected and found out. But see<br />
that you mistake not: yet I have already noted the Lunations, wherein the<br />
Notes ought to be looked into, and the Orations rehearsed: But there are<br />
some Months, wherein the Lunation is more profitable than others: if thou<br />
wouldst operate in Theology or Astronomy, do it in a fiery sign; if Grammar<br />
or Logick, in Gemini or Virgo; if Musick or Physick, in Taurus or<br />
Libra; if Rhetorick, Philosophy, Arithmetick or Geometry, in Gemini or<br />
Cancer; for Mathematicks, in Taurus or Gemini: so they are well placed,<br />
and free from evil; for all the Heavenly Potestates and Chorus of Angels,<br />
do rejoyce in their Lunations, and determinate dayes.<br />
Here is made mention ofthe Notes ofall Arts.<br />
I Apollonius following the power of <strong>Solomon</strong>, have disposed my self to keep<br />
his works and observations, as it is spoken of the three Notes of Grammar,<br />
so will I observe the times as they are to be observed: But the Orations<br />
thereof are not written, but are more fully demonstrated in the following<br />
work; for what is written ofthose three Notes, are not Orations, but Definitions<br />
of those Notes, written by the Greek, Hebrew, and Chaldean, and<br />
other things which are apprehended by us: For those writings which are<br />
not understood in Latine, ought not to be pronounced, but on those dayes<br />
which are appointed by King <strong>Solomon</strong>, and in those dayes wherein the Notes<br />
are inspected, but on those dayes those Holy writings are alwayes to be<br />
repeated: and the Latine, on those dayes wherein the Notes are not inspected.<br />
The Notes of the Logical Art are two: and at what times they are<br />
to be published is already shewn in part: more shall hereafter be said of<br />
them: now we come to the rest. The Latine writings may be published,<br />
according to the Antiquity of the Hebrews, except on those dayes we have<br />
spoken of: for <strong>Solomon</strong> saith, See that thou perform all those precepts as<br />
they are given: But of the rest which follow, it is to be done otherwise: for<br />
when thou seest the first Note ofLogick, repeat in thy heart the sign in the
