TRINALL TRIPLICITIES, the threefold three orders of the celestial hierarchy according to the scholastic theologians. — Spenser's The Faerie Queene, Book I, Edmund Spenser
That being done, he asked of Panurge the horoscope of his nativity, which was no sooner by Panurge tendered unto him, than that, erecting a figure, he very promptly and speedily formed and fashioned a complete fabric of the houses of heaven in all their parts, whereof when he had considered the situation and the aspects in their triplicities, he fetched a deep sigh, and said: I have clearly enough already discovered unto you the fate of your cuckoldry, which is unavoidable, you cannot escape it. — Gargantua and Pantagruel, François Rabelais
