T HE daies and houres of ♄ ♂ ☿ and the ☽ is best to doo all crafts of necromancie, & for to speake with spirits, and for to find theft, and to have true answer thereof, or of anie other such like. 1¶ And in the daies and houres of ☉ ♃ ♀ is best to doo all experiments of love, and to purchase grace, and for to be invisible, and to doo anie operation, whatsoever it be, for anie thing, the ☽ being in a convenient signe. ¶ As when thou laborest for theft, see the moone be in an earthie signe, as ♉︎ ♍︎ ♑︎, or of the aier, as ♊︎ ♎︎ ♒︎. ¶ And if it be for love, favor or grace, let the ☽ be in a signe of the fier, as ♈︎ ♌︎ ♐︎, and for hatred, in a signe of the water, as ♋︎ ♏︎ ♓︎. For anie other experiment, let the ☽ be in ♈︎. ¶ And if thou findest the ☉ & the ☽ in one signe that is called in even number, then thou maiest write, consecrate, conjure, and make readie all maner of things that thou wilt doo, &c.
