Praeterea quicquid in toto mundo reperitur, iuxta planetarum dominia afficitur, virtutemque sortitur: sic in igne vivificum lumen, Soli; calor, Marti: in terra, superficies varia Lunae et Mercurio et stellato caelo, moles autem tota Saturno. At in mediis elementis, ubi regit humor, aereus subiacet Iovi, aqueus vero Lunae, mixtus autem obtemperat Mercurio et Veneri. Simili ratione in natura causae agentes sequuntur Solem, materia vero Lunam, foecunditas causarum agentium Iovem, foecunditas materiae Venerem, expeditio velox ad effectum Martem et Mercurium: illum propter vehementiam, hunc propter dexteritatem multiformemque virtutem: caelorum autem continuatio permanens Saturno dedicatur. Sed et in vegetabilium numero omne frustum [†fef ens] a Iove est, et omnis flores ferens a Venere, et omne semen et cortex a Mercurio, omnis autem radix a Saturno, et lignum omne a Marte, et folia a Luna. Hinc omnia quae fructum ferunt et non florescunt, Saturni et Iovis sunt: quae vero florescunt, et semina non autem fructum producunt, haec Veneris sunt atque Mercurii: quae autem sine semine sponte producuntur, a Luna et Saturno sunt: pulchritudo omnis a Venere est, et robur a Marte: et unusquisque planetarum regit et disponit id, quod sibi assimilatur. Similiter in lapidibus, pondus, glutinamen, et stypticitas est a Saturno, beneficium et temperamentum a Iove, durities a Marte, vita a Sole, gratia et pulchritudo a Venere, occulta virtus a Mercurio, commune beneficium a Luna.

Furthermore, whatever is found in the whole world is affected according to the dominions of the planets, and receives a power accordingly: thus in fire, the life-giving light belongs to the Sun; the heat, to Mars: in the earth, the varied surface belongs to the Moon and Mercury and the starry heaven, but the whole mass belongs to Saturn. But among the middle elements, where moisture rules, the airy element is subject to Jupiter, the watery to the Moon, while the mixed element obeys Mercury and Venus. By similar reasoning, in nature the acting causes follow the Sun, but matter follows the Moon; the fruitfulness of acting causes follows Jupiter, the fruitfulness of matter follows Venus; swift dispatch toward an effect follows Mars and Mercury — the former on account of vehemence, the latter on account of dexterity and many-formed power; but the permanent continuance of the heavens is dedicated to Saturn. But also, among the number of vegetable things, every fruit [a word resists reading — likely 'bearing'] is from Jupiter, and every flower-bearing thing is from Venus, and every seed and bark is from Mercury, but every root is from Saturn, and all wood is from Mars, and leaves are from the Moon. Hence all things that bear fruit and do not flower belong to Saturn and Jupiter: but those that flower and produce seed but not fruit, these belong to Venus and Mercury: while those that are produced spontaneously without seed belong to the Moon and Saturn: all beauty is from Venus, and strength from Mars: and each one of the planets rules and disposes that which is made like to itself. Likewise among stones, weight, cohesion, and astringency come from Saturn; benefit and temperateness from Jupiter; hardness from Mars; life from the Sun; grace and beauty from Venus; hidden power from Mercury; common benefit from the Moon.
Modern rendering
Beyond this, everything found anywhere in the world is shaped by whichever planet governs it, and gets its power from that source. So in fire: the life-giving light belongs to the Sun, the heat to Mars. In earth: its varied surface belongs to the Moon, Mercury, and the starry heaven, but its whole bulk belongs to Saturn. Among the 'middle' elements, where moisture governs: air falls under Jupiter, water under the Moon, and the mixed element answers to both Mercury and Venus. The same logic runs through nature generally — active causes follow the Sun, matter follows the Moon; the fruitfulness of active causes follows Jupiter, the fruitfulness of matter follows Venus; quick, effective action follows Mars and Mercury (Mars through force, Mercury through adaptability and many-sided skill); and the heavens' steady, unbroken continuity belongs to Saturn.
Among plants, too: every [a word won't resolve — likely 'fruit-bearing' quality] comes from Jupiter, every flower from Venus, every seed and bark from Mercury, every root from Saturn, all wood from Mars, and leaves from the Moon. So anything that bears fruit without flowering belongs to Saturn and Jupiter; anything that flowers and seeds but doesn't fruit belongs to Venus and Mercury; anything that grows spontaneously, without seed, belongs to the Moon and Saturn. All beauty comes from Venus, all strength from Mars — each planet governing and shaping whatever resembles it. The same holds for stones: weight, cohesion, and astringency come from Saturn; benefit and balance from Jupiter; hardness from Mars; life from the Sun; grace and beauty from Venus; hidden power from Mercury; and a benefit shared by all, from the Moon.
Editorial flags — draft status
- list: Two correspondence lists here: (1) elements/causes-and-matter distributed among the seven planets, (2) plant-parts (fruit/flower/seed/bark/root/wood/leaf) and stone-qualities (weight/benefit/hardness/life/grace/hidden-virtue/common-benefit) each assigned to a planet. Both are legible with generally high confidence; verify the plant-part-to-planet mapping and stone-quality-to-planet mapping against page image, as a single swapped attribution here would be a meaningful error per spec rule 3.
- lacuna: 'fef ens' (the word describing what belongs to Jupiter among vegetable/plant parts, parallel to 'flores ferens' for Venus) resists confident reading. Given the list's pattern (fruit→Jupiter, flower→Venus, seed/bark→Mercury, root→Saturn, wood→Mars, leaf→Moon per the sentences immediately following), the word almost certainly relates to fruit-bearing, but the precise Latin form is not recoverable from the OCR and is left as a lacuna rather than filled in to match the pattern.
- uncertain: 'femina' emended to 'semina' (seeds) in the flower/seed/fruit distribution sentence — confident given the parallel logic of the passage, but flagged since it changes a single letter with sense-bearing consequence.
