A strange and wonderfull prognostication: or rather, prenomination of those accidents which shall, or at least are likely to happen as may be coniectured by the rules and directions of astrology, in this yeare 1624. Written by Anthonio Magini, an Italian professor of the mathematickes, and much experienced in astonomy. And now faithfully translated into English.

A small proofe of the last yeare. 1623.

Sayd hee not what was to happen betwixt the Rhyne, Elbe, and Weser, and in the Northerne parts of the world?

Did he not likewise speake of a Match, as also where the warre should be, and how farre it should extend?

Hee predicted likewise a battell of a certaine Prince, and the defeat of his souldiers vpon the thirteenth of Au∣gust, of which the Boers of Westphalia should tel strange things.

Likewise he talked much of treason, and of a simul∣tated peace, as is knowne to Holland and Hungary. And

made also mention of the Forces that should march vpon the frontier of Turky and Hungary, designing the inua∣sion of Bethlem Gabor.

Moreouer, hee predicted also that the plague should reigne mightily in the Northerne Lands, as hath after∣wards beene seene in Polonia, Lituania, Sweden, and East-Friesland, in which lands there died aboue 200000 persons of the Sicknesse.

Obserue likewise what he saith of the dearth, the like being hardly knowne by any man now liuing.

And concerning the East-Indies, haue not the Pro∣testants made such an inuasion in it as was neuer done before.

Likewise we will not forget that which he told of the West-Indies, and of the great alteration in the Romane Empire.

Moreouer, hee predicted that the Northerne Lands should want both bread and wine, which seemed to be vn∣likely, seeing it was a fertile yeare, and that all the fruits of the field were ripe, and caried into the barnes, and there was also great store of fish catcht, vpon which acci∣dent the prices of al other victuals are vsed to fal, but the dearth increased dayly against all expectation.

He sayth also that about the Haruest or August, many should be slaine vpon the frontiers of Hungary.
