“ What Planets were accounted benigne, by the Ancient Hebrewes. What Ceremony the new-married man used, toward his bride. This Astrology of the Ancients is proved out of the Holy Scriptures. Reasons which prove, that נר Gad (which was the name of one of the Sonnes of Jacob,) is the Planet Jupiter. The Ægyptians the first that corrupted this Astrology. It is false notwithstanding, that they were the Inventors of the Characters of the Planets. Fables introduced into Astrology, by the Greeks. ”
