Nor are the Secundian Intelligences, viz. what Angel then governs, to be omitted in consideration, for the judging of future events, as to search when he began his Dominion, and how many years since his Government; for there is very great Mystery in this; Tritemius his mensuration of time in those matters, doth excel all that I have seen, and it doth concur with the Opinion of the most Learned Rabbins; but they were too much superstitious in their application. His Measure or Limitation of time was deduced from certain or assured Revelations, other mens conceits are only conjectural, and have no true affinity with verity or experience. Herein the true understanding of the Assignation of the Planets and Signs to particular Kingdoms and Countries, or Communities of Mankind, will much avail in giving judgment. - William Lilly (1602.-1681.)
