IANVARIE.

THE tenth of December old stile, the Sunne en∣tred into Capricornus, and then the Winter began, which was the 2. of December new stile, of the yeare past, being anno 1621. so that vpon the fourth of Ianuarie we haue the last quarter, and considering all the course of these Winter moneths, we finde that we shall haue a long cold frosty Winter, with much Haile and Snow, and that very thick vnder 52. degrees, but much fauourable windes: In high Countries there shall ma∣ny people die with cold and pouerty, they that die in Warre shall be free thereof.

The 11. of Ianuarie, with the new Moone vnder the gouernment of Venus and Mercurie, there shall be many Rouers and murtherers seene, whereof men that trauell in France and Germanie, must beware: at that time also many wicked practises shall be inuented, and put in vre in Italy, to bring their neighbours on the hills vnto their ends.

The 19. of Ianuarie the first quarter, many men shall speake of peace, but Mars and Iupiter cannot agree toge∣ther, because the Sunne is entred into Aquarius, so that the matter is put to Neptune & Mars. It shall be trouble∣some

to be in high degree, there shall also many bad ty∣dings come abroad, whereby men shall be in great feare of their liues, specially vnder the height of 51. de∣grees 1/•• ouer Britaine there will be a good Starre seene, as also ouer Denmarke and Sweathland.

The 27. of Ianuarie, the full Moone being in Leo, and the Sunne still in Aquarius, signifies some strange things to happen in the great Water-streame, as also vpon the Rhine, Donaw, Elue in Stlesia, Liffeland, France and Grecia, in Sicilia in the Mediteranean Sea, there shall wonders be heard of, touching great burnings and blood-shed∣dings; which Mars vpon the 30. of this moneth sore threatneth.
