Of the crinitall starre, which appeareth this October and Nouember, 1580

The seconde part, touching this Crinitall Starre.

WHere as I haue shewed general∣ly what this Crinital Starre signifieth, it foloweth in this se∣conde treatise, to declare in what countryes the effectes shalbe, and at what tymes. For seeyng the earth is diuided into foure partes, Europe, Asia, Affrica, and A∣merica, and euery one of these comprehend a multitude of Countryes, and euery Coun∣trye is subiect to diuers perylles of the hea∣uens, and doth dyffer in clymates, and in the obliquitie of the Horizon: Then it must needes be, that no Comet or tayled Starre, can shewe his effect generally in al the foure diuisions of the earth, but properly to those Countryes ouer which it is placed, accor∣dyng to clymatical and parellell lynes. So then touchyng this Crinita, waying his as∣cention, & his Latitude Northerly from the Zodiacke, with the extractyng of his euyll

shadowes vpon certayne poyntes of the hea∣uens, with his place and terme in which i•• stand, I finde by Astronomical diuision, that the effect shall not reach into Africa, nor to the middle Seas, neyther to any Countryes specially, but to those which are within the viii. and .ix. Clymate, and properly to those places, Cities, and Townes, which are vn∣der Aquary, Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio, pla∣ced in the foresayd climates. Wherefore to come to proper places, I finde that the effect of his shadowes shal be seene in those places which be neere to the Ryuer of Rhene, and Danubius, so that Germany shal feele of it.

Also the force and euyll shalbe shewed vpon Flaunders, Hollande, Zealande▪ and Freeselande, and no lesse vpon Denmarke, Danske, Englande, Scotlande, and Irelande. And in lyke case to Pollonde, and Belgica in Fraunce and Pycardy. Some of these Coun∣tryes feelyng it with Plagues, mortalities, some with blooddie warres, some with the death of great Peares, and other some with misery by great Floodds, wyndes, and ouer∣flowes of waters: of which, other countryes Southward, & East, as Spayne, Barbarie & Italy, Turkie, Greece, and all which dwell

out of the eyght and .ix. clymate, shalbe free, in respect of the corruption of ayre, & gree∣uous harme which is portended by weather, both by Lande and Sea.

Next, whereas I note that the effectes of this Crinita, shall appeare two yeeres and three quarters, I obserue by the profectio∣nal Athazer, and other circumstances, that the next yeere. 1581. the effectes shal be as folowe. First touchyng diseases, there shall raigne Inflammations, Burnyng Feuers, Plagues, Hart burnynges, Blood shotten eyes, Blooddie flyxe, Measles, Pockes, Pleurisies, heate in the stomacke, fallyng sicknes, Phrensies, and the stone: these be the pryncipal diseases. Also the partes that shall be mostly touched, be the hart, chest, brayne, eyes, backe, bladder: but it geueth the signi∣fication forcible vpon the mynde and brayne of man, that men shall be geuen to be per∣uerse of hart, and that madnesse, furiousnesse, phranticknes, sadnesse, melancholy, and cho∣lericke disposition shal be seene greatly to abounde in men of the foresaid countreys the next yeere, and therefore let vs pray to God, lest for our wyckednesse he turneth vs to a reprobate sense. Also the next yeere it bryng∣eth

foorth adrye Sommer, that the earth shalbe scorched, and waters shal be scant, and betweene ••amma, and Michaelmas, shal the full terror appeare in some of the foresayde countryes, in Plagues, Warres, Craftie deuises, captiuities to some estates, and with great sadnesse to people. And betweene Si∣mon and Iude, and Hallowmas weeke, shall Hollande, Zealande, and many partes of Englande, be greatly indammaged and in∣dangered with sodayne stormes, and flowes of great waters, and greeuous weather.

Nowe touthyng the yeeres folowyng, 1582. and. 1583. marke what two euyl yeeres they shalbe for wyndes, rayne, and flooddes, and inundations, in the foresayde countryes.

This Crmita shal by his vmbration and course of his signification, bryng foorth two strange & marucylous Candelmas Termes, for euyll weather, huge raines or snowes, and wyndes, with inundation of great wa∣ters, and two sorowfull Sommers, for abundaunce of wet, raine, & ouerflowynges, whereby these Monethes shall be very gree∣uous and hurtfull, Februarie, March. 1582. 1583. and Iuly, August. 1582. 1583.

Wherefore seeing this tayled Starre, by his pale coloure, doth signifie great losses and hinderaunce to the Countreys afore∣sayd, by irruption and inundation of great Flooddes, and by one hard Winter the next yeere. 1582. and two wette Sommers, to the great indammagyng of many places of the foresayd Countreys, and to the hurt of the Husbandeman and Merchaunt, where∣vpon myserie, dearth, penurie, and calami∣tie, may growe to some of the foresayde Countreyes, in the same yeeres: For that cause, it shall be necessary for vs to pray to GOD, that he may stay his Plagues and Warres the next yeere, and to geue vs more moderate yeeres, then this Crinita signifie of. 1582. & 1583. For the speciall significa∣tion of this Crinital Starre, is in brynging corruption in the Ayre, by vnseasonable weather, the next yeere. 1581. by Taurus, impressing ariditie and drynesse vpon the Earth, with infectuous exhalations, bryng∣yng plagues and Cholericke motions in the hartes of men. The monethes the next yeere of y^e appearance of effectes, be Apryl, May, August, September, Nouember. The se∣conde yeere. 1582. the impression is by Ge∣mini,

in procuryng much agitation in the ayre, & vntemperate times, by great windes, raine, snowes, & floods. The worst moncthes be February, March, Iuly, Angust, October.

The thyrde yeere. 1583. the Atha∣zer fall vpon Cancer, whiche shall bryng foorth a wet yeere, much rayne, and darke wether, with many flooddes, that the groun∣des shalbe much harmed, and rottes among the heardes. The woorst Monethes of these effectes, be February, March, Apryl, Iuly, August, September, October. Thus thou hast (Gentle Reader) my extraction of this Crinital Starre, with the iudgement of the Eclipses ••omoyned. Hopyng that thou wylt iudge of it, accordyng to tryal, and not by a captious opinion. And so I conclude, wyshyng euery one to feare GOD, and his signes, and to pray that he may turne from vs what euyl so euer his Comettes signifie, indewyng vs with his holy spirite.

Fare wel.
