AUGUST, 1651.
ON the very beginning of this Month, the Sun cuts the As∣cendent of the year, and the mid-Heaven of the Conjun∣ction of Saturn and Mars; and sure the honest Commoner be∣gins to love the Parliament: Many see now who hath done them good, and preserved them and theirs from Egiptian Bondage: the Winds are high, and not without Thunder and Lightning about the 14 or 15 dayes of this Month: Mars cuts the degree ascen∣ding at his Conjunction, threatning some Epidemical Disease of his own Nature, I pray God it be easie to be cured; Head-ach and Feavers are very rife, I could almost afford to be afraid of a scurvy fashion called poysoning of men about this time, the Lord grant my fears to be in vain; the Month ends with Luxurious living amongst too too many, which will cause virulency, and so make work for the Chyrurgians. The latter end of the Month looks as though the Heavens promised a Reconciliation of some Differences between the Commonalty and their Masters, or Ser∣vants, which you will.
