Henry Coley was a 17th-century English astrologer who is remembered for his book "Clavis Astrologiae Elimata" – a survey of the entirety of astrology. As might be expected from a 17th-century astrology text, this book covers:

· aspects and behaviors of the planets

o names, characters, orbs, latitudes, natures, signs, etc.

· adding and subtracting astronomical fractions

· the 12 divisions of the heavens

· astrological axioms and rational experiences

· using astrology to answer fortune telling and prophecy

o on marriage, on being bewitched, etc

· Trigonometry – direction and doctrine

· Johannes Kepler's "Rudolphine Tables"

o Star catalogues, planetary tables, used to identify the position of the planets and other heavenly bodies in the solar system. Taken from Tycho Brahe.
