War, fee the feventh and the firft, and their Lords : for the firft Houfe and his Lord fignifies the Querent ; and the fe- venth Houfe and his Lord the adverfary. So that if there be good Planets in the firft, and evil in the feventh ; and if the Lord of the firft and feventh be evil, the Querent fhall overcome : but if there be an evil Planet withtheLord of the firft, and an evil Planet in the firft, and the Lord of the feventh good, or * R. * in the feventh, the Querent fhall be overcome, or taken, or flain. And if the Lords of them both be in the firft, and there be good Planets from the part of the firft Houfe, unto the end of the Houfe which is the middle of the Queftion ; and if evil Planers do poflefs the other half of die Queftion, that is to fay, from the feventh unco the end of the twelfth houfe, the ndverTary fhall Over- come.

And if the Lord of the Afcendent be in the eighth, or with the Lord of the eighth ; or the Lord of the eighth in the firft, or with the Lord of the firft,ic fignifies the death of the Querent. And if the Lord of the feventh be in the fecond, or with his Lord ; or the Lord of the fecond in the feventh, or with the Lord of the feventh, it fignifies the death of the enemy.

If you would know whether War fhall continue 1 ong or nor, if mean or meanly j if the Lords of the firft and the fe- venth do agree, the parties fhall be pacified after the War.
