WE shall haue in this Lepe yere / foure Eclypses / that is to wyt / thre of the mone and one of the sonne.
The fyrst E∣chyppes of the Mone shall befall the tenth day of Ianuary at vi. of the clocke before none / which shal be of. xii. poyntes & xlvi. mynutes / so that the Mone shall abyde hole darkened xli min. and shall conty∣nue her Eclyppes thre houres and xxviii. mi. The Mone shall be a∣bout the Northwest / with hye exal¦tacion
aboue the earth / in the myd¦des of the Eclyppes / and shall not as yet be all about lyght whan it goeth downe. Mars / Iupiter and Saturnus shall stande aboute the sonth southeast. Venus and Mer∣curius shall ascende in the hyghest whan the darkenesse of the Mone begynneth to vanysshe away: they shall haue for their ascendent / the fyrst degre of capricorn in the myd¦des of heuen / in the xxvi. degre of libra. The Mone shalbe in the .vii. house of heuen / and shal begyn the operation of this Eclyppes about August / as Ptolome sayth.
THe second Eclyppes shalbe of the Sonne / the .xxiiii. daye of Ianuary at viii. a clocke xxiii. min. before none / and shallbe
of 〈◊〉〈◊〉. poyntes / almost. xvii. min, so that all the hole Sonne saue a ly¦tell shalbe darkened. The Sonne shall stand south southest with the mone / which shall stand right vn∣der the Sonne / so that in our ori∣sone if shal hynder and take away the brightnesse of the Son: which Eclyppes and also other Eclypses before goyng we shall well & par∣fytly se if that ye se the mone or the sonne. And if case be that through darkenesse of the wether we shuld not se the sōne or the mone / yet the Eclyppes shall be neuer the lesse if 〈◊〉〈◊〉 shuld not se it. The Eclyppes shall haue before his ascendent the xii. degre of Aries. Venus shalbe in the vi. degre of capricorne right south / syttyng in the myddes of he¦uen, Iupiter & Saturnus shalbe
in the eyght house about the south¦west: all the seuen planetes shall as than be aboue ye erth / that is to wyt / thre in the eight house / two in the tenthe house / and two in the xi. house / which shalbe wonderfull & of great mistery. Out of these iiii. Eclipses shalbe brought forth wonderfull maters / as we shall ex¦presse here after. Mars shall be in the Eclyppes of the Sonne in the house of death, in Scorpio. in pro∣pria domo, gaudio {pro}prio. & propria triplicitate. Iupiter shalbe in pro∣prio casu, betwene Saturne and Mars / in the eyght house of death also.
THe thyrd Eclyppes shalbe of the mone / & shalbe the fourth day of Iuly viii. a clocke. xxi mi. after none / and shall be of xvii. poyntes & xv. my. so that the mone shalbe hole darke i, houre & a halfe & shall endure longer than the first and shall be almost hole darkened whan it shall ryse in the est: so that it shall seme to be a wonderfull ma¦ter. Saturnus and Iupiter shall syt togyther in the south / & Mars beneth the southeast / Mercurius in the west northwest. The ascen∣dent shalbe the viii. degre of aqua∣tius. The Son shalbe in the viii. house. The operation of this shall begyn incontynently after that the Eclippes shalbe passed / and shall fall very stronge at that tyme.
THe fourth Eclyppes is of the Moone / & shalbe the. xxix, day of December / at. vi. a clocke &. xx. myn. before noone / and shalbe of xiiii. poyntes. xviii. myn. Than shal ye moone sit about ye northwest before the day / and shall go downe all blacke & darkened. The moone shalbe an hole houre darke and. iii myn. and shall endure from the be∣gynnynge to thende thre houres & xxxvi. mynu. and shall haue the self same ascēdēt Iunii. mediū c•…•…li. and also occasū with gods / also thother houses of the heuēs shalbe euen as the heuens were at the tyme of the other foresayd eclypsis / which shal be a wonderous matter / as is well knowen to all astronomers. Iupi∣ter and Marcurius shall syt bothe southeast / in the xii. hous about the
erth. Saturne shall syt in the south southeast / and so forth all the other planettes shalbe vnder the erth / the ascendent shalbe the fyrst degre of Capricornus / in the myddes of the heuens / in the rxvi, degre of Libra and so forth as it is in the foresayd Eclipses
