Astrological predictions of Englands happy success and compleat victory over the French, Dutch, & Dane, this year 1667 the rebuilding and flourishing of the city of London in great glory : the Kings commanding the treasures of his enemies to repair her ruines : with several remarkable prophecies of the same nature.

Astrological Predictions OF ENGLANDS Happy Success AND Compleat VICTORY OVER THE FRENCH, DƲTCH, & DANE, This Year 1667.

IT is not any part of my intended brief Work, to write an Eulogy for Astrology, the Art of Science it self being able to dilate her own praises; but my design ayms to give a satisfaction, how far either in general or particular, the same Art hath predicted or foretold good fortune and happy suc∣cess to attend all the affairs of Great Britain, in this pre∣sent year current, and the future; and also what miseries and calamities shall attend the malitious Ene∣mies thereof, well knowing, that there is hardly any greater encouragement to the attaining of high and ho∣norable things, then when the undertakers are drawn by an assured confidence of a promised and even ascer∣tained success: To the creating of which encouraged confidence, be pleased to observe, that Mr. Booker in March this year, saith,

If health, wealth, plenty, peace, and all that's good* 1.1 Flow in upon us, if 't be not withstood By our unthankfulness, then we have cause Greatly to joy; but by the Starry Laws Of this rare* 1.2 Revolution, 'tis decreed, Of our misfortunes, that we shall be freed.

And to prove that there is something of certainty in the said Art, hear what the same person avoucheth con∣cerning the late burning of London: I shall tell the World, saith he, that the late fearfull destructive Fire, that hath so lamentably defaced London, was long since above an hundred years ago predicted, I believe Astro∣logically. Michaell Nostredamus of St. Remy in Provence, Physician to the King, and a great Mathematician and Astrologer, who dyed the 2. of July 1566. aged 62. years, published certain Quadrins in French, which was printed 1555. The Book is in divers mens hands, I my self have had one above 40 years, amongst the rest in Quadrin 51. are these words;

Le sangue du Juste a Londres fera faut Bruslez par foudres, de Vingt trois, les six, La Dame Antique cherra de place haut, De mesme secte plusieurs serront occis.

Englished;

For th' Just mans blood at London spilt, the same By Thundring Fire shall be reduc'd to flame; That antient Lady's lofty head must droop, And many of her Cit'zens forc'd to stoop.

Amongst all the Astrological Predictions mentioned in any age, either antient or modern, or in any History I ever yet read, this is the most remarkable, and of it self able to stop the mouths of All Astrologomastiers: I have given the translation or reposition of the same, and leave it to posterity to admire it. Thus much he saith of what is past; hear something more of what is to come. For he, speaking of the Suns Vernal Ingress, and the position of the Heavens at the same time, breaks forth into these words. A most admirable position, and if we should retrocalculate the Suns Ingress for 500 years, we should not meet with such a wonderfull posi∣tion of expected good successe in omnibus, in all the Kings Reigns since William the Conqueror. To be short, it signifies health, wealth and prosperity both to King and People, victory over Enemies, or agreement be∣twixt those that have been at odds, perfect amity amongst Friends, notable occurrences about Ecclesia∣stical affairs, and results about Religion, the preferment of some Pious and Religious Persons, happy Navigati∣ons, and prosperous return of many rich Ships, to the Kings great profit, and weal of the Publick, many nota∣ble Embassyes from Foreign parts concerning high mat∣ters, to the great joy and content of all from the highest to the meanest.

Mr. Gadbury in his Poetical Observations, saith thus in January:

Saturn is rampant yet, and with the Sun (The second day) is in Conjunction; Joves Sextile rayes do qualifie the hate, And turn the fury to some neighbour State;

Great Britain is secure, her Worthies free, Whose fates concur with her felicity:

And in February thus:

England upon her Enemies may be Aveng'd to purpose for their surquedry.

And in June he sayes thus:

The two last Junes great slaughters were on Sea, Strange discontents and Treacheries on shore, The Dutch and French have cause to rue the day They slighted Englands friendship heretofore; If wise for future they may thrive, and then The French, a Kingdom; Dutch, High-states agen.

And in July he proceeds:

But now a Thundring Aspect doth appear, Threatning great Navies to be drawing near; Bright Sol's in Cancer, Chrono's in the Goat, Holland and her Confederates change their note, Stout Mars, Great Britains Planet, rules alone! Makes July, June! OBSERVE IT EVERY ONE:

And in August:

Let England keep but peaceable at home, No State of Europe dare her roome At Land or Sea: She's made for Victory; Thrice happy Nations that with her comply.

And in his discourse of the Suns Vernal Ingress, he saith; Mars the Patron of England, is found strong and power∣full, &c. intimating a more then ordinary activity in the Genius of the English Nation; not only inclining, but prompting them to high and eminent Engagements with Foreign Nations, and promising them Victory over their Enemies, and giving them a sufficiency of power to prescribe Laws and limits to them. Adding further; They shall overcome them, and that so remarkably, that they shall tread them under their feet; and for that Year, shall very rare (if at all) receive any interruption or check in their hopes, victories or successes.

Mr. Wing saith in April: Holland cannot thrive, nei∣ther can we forget her Treachery: France holds up her head a while. And in June and July; Is not England Victorious? if so, then Holland gets little, and France less; for great alterations and changes in the World may be shortly expected;

Most look to hear, of Peace this Year; But if not so, then Hollands woe.

And speaking of the Suns entring Aries, he hath these words. I might here speak somewhat of the present War between us and Holland, and see what may be said Astrologically touching the event and issue thereof, but I shall at present say little; yet this I say, There is no Configuration of the Celestial bodies that may dismay us in the least, or that doth in any wise promise them Victory.

Mr. Trigg in his Monthly observations expresseth himself thus. France aime not to high, thy Grandeur may suffer an Ecclipse as great as in the year 1651, if with great prudence thou doest not prevent it; thy Coun∣sels may do more by Peace then War. Therefore Frenchmen and Hollanders be not too forward, your re∣pentant hour is near, unlesse in time you be so wise as to make peace with the English Nation, all whose E∣nemies shall truckle under her; so that there will be great hopes of concluding an honourable Peace with one or more Nations, who now begin to find, that fighting against the English (a People from the begin∣ning ordained for victory) is to no purpose, since the Stars have designed them never to take the foile (un∣lesse by Treachery from within herself) from any people in the whole world.

Mr. Fly saith, Our Enemies begin to comply, be more mild, and think of friendship. And speaking of cloudy inconstant weather, It is, saith he, much like our Ene∣mies, the French and the Dane, who are still plotting and contriving against us, but to little purpose; Glad would they be to be quiet.

Mr. Andrews in several of his monthly Observations, declares himself thus. Providence smiles upon the Kingdome of England. And we doubt not, but that the Heavens will favour the English, and that his Majesties Subjects will be in a thriving and good Posture; And his Armies and Navyes whereever employed, will be very successfull in all their undertakings, and performe some businesse of consequence. The Emperours Do∣minions

not quiet. The Swedes are active; The Danes full of troubles: but still we find the Kingdome of Eng∣land in a flourishing temper, and the English seem very formidable in sundry parts of the world, so that we have great cause to predict good success to the Forces and Navyes of his Majesty of Great Britain, wherever en∣gaged. Moreover, about July, the Hollander or Datch may be sufficiently sensible of the malitious aspects of the Starrs, for assuredly their Forts and Ships are not far off from danger, and if God have not ere then com∣posed the differences between his Majesty of Great Bri∣tain and that people, viz. the Dutch, then they must ex∣pect to be very much humbled by the English. To∣wards the Baltique Sea somewhat very considerable may happen, wherein the Danes and Hollanders may be highly concerned, and if they shall appear with their Fleet and Navy in a Warlike posture against the English in August; then let them take what follows; viz. a total or fatal overthrow. Lastly, we do perfectly discover by the Positions and Configurations of the Starrs, that his Majesties Kingdomes and Dominions will be in a prosperous condition, and be blessed in their undertakings, even to the very amazement of Forreign Countries. But afflictions, miseries, troubles and misfortunes shall attend the Dutch this year, and they must expect no good success, unlesse God in mercy shall grant them the favour of his Majesty of Great Bri∣tain before the Spring 1667, or if Heaven have not ere that time directed those people unto a happy compliance or composition of controversies with him.

Then speaking of London, he saith, and assuredly we have now great cause to affirm, that London our English

Metropolis shall be in a flourishing state again, and in a very prosperous condition, so that people may safely build houses there, as being confident (according to the rules of Art) of the great felicity that shall ere long attend that City.

Then turning his discourse to France, he saith, We have sufficient cause to predict, that some sad and disastrous Events will in this year 1667. befall the City of Paris, and that the French Kings Affairs will find much interruption in sundry parts of the World; and the French and Dutch will be in a sad condition, unless they comply with England; and we hope the World towards the latter end of 1667. will appear in a more setled condition then formerly.

Mr. Saunders saith; From good and rational grounds I pronounce, that the Revolutions of the Heavens this Year, promise much prosperity to come to formerly afflicted London, and her Governours, in her re-edifica∣tion; and that such Prizes or Composition may probably be brought in from the amazed and depressed Dutch, that may adde much to her felicity, and well replete his Majesties Treasures; for till a Submissive Peace be con∣cluded, the English will gain ground of that elated Na∣tion, who proudly assume the Attributes of the Creator, calling themselves High and Mighty, which Blasphemy will sufficiently be rewarded by the next Revolution 1668. which time will set his Majesty of England free, with Victory and Honour over all his Enemies; there∣fore (though things be banded to and fro, and look up∣on us with a face of unsettlement in the mean time) let us rest assured in this, That the year (1668.) will

be a Jubilee to England, and I derive this Judgement from warrantable grounds of Art: But this present year will be a time of Action, much businesse and great de∣signs attempted: But the language of the Stars in gene∣ral speak prosperity to England, with good successe, and especially to her famous Metropolitan London, which the Almighty will miraculously (to her glory) raise out of the ashes, and, like Job, redouble her fame and losses, and command the very Treasures of her Enemies to repair her Ruines; and those noxious natural quali∣ties, which both affected and infected the Earth, her air and waters, are now spent and exhausted, which likewise predicts her happiness, as to health, for many succeeding years.

Mr. Lilly pronounceth his Judgement in these terms, viz. The King of France and his Kingdom, or the seve∣ral Provinces, Dukedoms or Principalities thereof, are threatned this year; more particularly he is to suffer great damage in his Affairs, by the death of some emi∣nent Ecclesiastical person, or one of the prime Magi∣strates of his Kingdom; as also by reason of some gene∣ral turbulent commotion of his oppressed Subjects. And it may also be rationally affirmed, that some sudden oc∣casion of War will much discompose the great Affairs of his Imperial Majesty, from an Eastern people, or in his own Eastern Patrimony or Dominion; nor is there like to be any handsome Unity between the Monarch of France and him, but rather that a fierce War will ensue betwixt the Germans and French. When this War doth break forth, then will France suffer great mischief, as well internally in the bowels of her Country, as ex∣ternally

from the Invasions of several other people; We do also probably conj••cture, that in or near the Years 1672. or 1673. there will be some irruption made into Poland, or other Countries towards those parts, by the rude Tartars, and many fresh Controversies or Diffe∣rences will fall out betwixt the Swedes and Crown of Denmark. Secondly, we find in one of the Sybils, a Pro∣phesie, thus written, viz. That a Star shall arise in Europe over the Iberians, towards the great House of the North, whose beams shall unexpected enlighten the whole World; and this person is to appear, when most Nations being wearied with War, shall willingly em∣brace Peace; so that a Great and Warlike King or Prince shall arise out of the North, whose Wars and Actions shall be diametrically opposite to the present Times; and at last he shall settle the distracted condi∣tion of many Nations in peace.

If the rules of the Antients hold true, we must ad∣judge happiness to England; therefore let no true English heart fail him, or be much troubled with the rumour of the Times, or be weary in assisting his Majesty in per∣son or purse; for at the Suns entrance into Aries, there is the most promising position of Heaven for his Majesties successes against all Enemies whatsoever, that yet hath been since the Wars we have had, be they Dutch, Dane, or French: And we may judge the greatest Transactions of Europe, and of highest concernment, will be managed by his Majesty of England, his Counsellors and Con∣ductors, both as to War and Peace, with great m••gnani∣mity and haughtiness of Spirit as unto the Martial part, and with as great Gravity and Prudence on the Civil. And although the general Affairs of Christendom seem

to be managed something confusedly, yet in England they are carried on with great courage and vivacity of Spirit, with sincerity, and upright hearts and intentions. In some Countries matters are carried on with high words, and great brags and boastings; in other places with nothing but deceit, fraud, juggling, and under∣hand dealing; in other places with subtle delayes, Treacheries, and feigned devices; however great pre∣parations are ordering as well for Sea as for Land, for the major part of this year we must expect Military actions: And truly some high design will be in hand, which will almost put the world to a stand what it may be; if it be lawfull to conjecture the series of it, we have great confidence that the whole Honour and Glory of that action, that design or designs, be they by Sea or Land, shall redown'd unto the high Renown and Ho∣nour of his Majesty of Great Brittain, and to his Naval Forces whereever engaged; and against whatsoever Enemy or Enemies either Dutch, Dane, or French, and this to the great comfort of all his Majesties loving Sub∣jects; for the configurations of Heaven were never more propitious for advancement of the whole British affaires then in this year 1667.

All the Planets argue, that neither the Hollander or their Confederate the French, though highly industri∣ous and Active, are very ready or well provided for a∣ny action toward the Spring; yet (as was said before) they use great industry: but whoever fight against Pro∣vidence, are sure to be worsted and vanquished, as we do not question both Dutch and French will be, whenever they shall dare either singly or joyntly to incounter his Maje∣sties Navy or Navies. Nay, more probably, the Plague

is like to come among the Hollanders, both into their Cities, and Towns, and Ships amongst their Seamen; then follows a consumption and decay of their Estates and Fortunes in all the habitable parts of the World, wheresoever they Traffick; Besides, they are threatned with irreconcileable differences and discords amongst their Principal Officers and Grandees, as also commotions and murmurings in the vulgar sort of people, nay perhaps one Province against another.

True it is, the Heavens seem to give hopes of accom∣modation in the present War with Holland and France, if we could believe the Hollanders were as yet sufficiently chastised for their former insolencies, or had suffered that measure of misfortune, which Providence hath assigned for them, both by a fearfull Plague, Pestilence, Insur∣rections, Deluges by Inundations, and drowning part of their Territories, scarcity of all sorts of Provisions, loss in their Fishing-trade, loss of their Navies and Merchants Ships in all and every Place, Kingdom and Country. A wilfull and obstinate people they are signified to be, in not embracing those gracious opportunities of Peace, which otherwise might be obtained from his Majesty of Great Britain. Its probable they expect, or are in hopes of assistance from the French King, and Denmark, and perhaps ayd is intended them; but it seems for a time either retarded, or their Ally not capable in condition, or may stand upon some Articles or Covenants not be∣fore mentioned or thought upon: And we say further, that Providence, it is like, directs his Majesties Forces or Navies so happily, that they keep Mounsieur from acting or joyning with them so that the Holl••nder shall meet with all manner of impediments, hinderances and

delayes in all their Affairs, and a general ill disposition of whatever belongs to them in their own Dominions; And that their Rich men, their Antient men, their Mi∣nisters, their Boores or Rustical people, their Mariners and Sea-faring men, every one in his kind will be weary of this their War with England; Et blasphemabunt se invicem: viz. They will blaspheme and curse one ano∣ther, and all those who at first introduced them to this fatal and unlucky War.

And shortly after, in his discourse upon the Ingress of the Sun into Cancer, the 11th of June, he saith: If the Lord God in mercy to the Hollanders incline not their hearts to mediate for Peace ere this time, (as there is no great probability they will) then is their Condition re∣presented to be sad within a few months following: For (saith he) that King who rules over Gemini (and that is the King of England) shall be exalted, or much mag∣nified, and shall be Victorious over his Enemies.

In his Monthly Observations are these passages: Ma∣ny reports fly abroad, as if some Treaty for Peace were in hand; People willingly embrace that Intelligence, but time makes it appear a Vapour. Our Enemies have not yet had a sufficient share of the second Comets in∣fluence, let them expect it with a sad interest in this Summer; but we may expect an happy Unity among our selves, and perceive Gods mercies generally to smile upon the Actions of his Majesty, and Grand Affairs of the whole Nation, infinitely to the satisfaction of all sober persons. An appearance of drawing Forces into Normandy, the French King being active, but Providence seems to contradict his intentions; and the prudence of his Majesty of England prevents all fear of French Inva∣sion.

Whether the French King resolve upon War or Peace, is no matter, if his Navies will peep out of their Harbours, they must return home again if they can; but assuredly destruction, or captivity, or sinking will be the final end of most of those, who shall encounter his Ma∣jesty of Great Britains Sea Forces this year.

And in March he saith thus: The Monarch of Great Britain seems in greatest readiness for Action, and best provided: The Dutch fearfull of a Plague, and Con∣sumption of their Seamen, nor in a present capacity of undertaking any great design. The French seem at a stand, some emergent misfortune having happened unto them, or feared to happen among themselves suddenly. Ne verbum quidem de Dano: The Dane cannot get out of his Harbors; No peny, no Pater-nosters: The Swedish Nation seem the most active of all Europe, and there is reason, for some violent storm is like to break forth upon them from a barbarous people, if not prevented. The Amsterdam Merchants, as also the Generality of Holland, find great opposition in their Vocations and Callings, they seem now more sensible of their present sad condi∣tion, then for some years before; for whenever the Hol∣landers come out to Sea, they are sure to be worsted, by firing, burning or taking their best and most serviceable Ships, killing and destroying their most able and service∣able Commanders and men; neither will the Dane or French speed better: The Dane seems to lose his honour by not fighting, and much aspersed therefore; Provi∣dence seems to blesse the French King with answerable success; viz. with the Captivity of many of his Ships and men; but this Nation seems blessed with some remarkable testimony of Gods favour, in or near the

month of May, highly to the honour of his Majesty, and satisfaction and content of the whole Kingdom, for there is probability of much Honour conferred on deserving persons: And we have cause to believe, his Majesty to be much honoured near the time, by several Embassadors from Foreign parts, to congratulate his successes: but Heaven, we fear, hath not such blessing for the Hollan∣ders, Divine Vengeance having as yet not scourged them sufficiently for their former insolencies. The King of Denmark threatned with War, and many sad mischances near his own confines, a sturdy Enemy and powerfull, watching all opportunities against him. The French King seems to expend much money, and to make great preparations to little purpose; he will in a short time be sensible of the first Comets influence for evil, and not for good. About June strange News from Holland, as if all were in an uproar, we believe they will be then in a sad and fearfull condition.

The Hollander from the ill success he shall find in July, if he submit not before unto a Peace, shall perceive its in vain to strive against the King of England, whose Forces (though not without much blood) shall obtain so re∣markable a Victory over both French, Dutch, and Danes, as the like hath not been heard of in any age: If Provi∣dence have assigned that month for a Sea-fight, its the Ultimum vale of the Hogens: But if Providence retard the actions intended in July, untill August, then they seem more ponderous and weighty at that time, all parties be∣ing better prepared: And those Navies, those Souldi∣ers who are under the Dominion, or dwell in the Land of Mars, (as the English do) shall overcome their Ene∣mies, because there is much of choller, anger and boldness

in them, whereas in Saturnine people (such are the Hol∣landers) there is much fear and cowardice, by reason of their want of heat.

Towards September mens minds begin to hearken after Peace, and many general rumours dispersed and spoken of to that purpose, yet some of the male configurations in August may manifest their sad influences in September, unto the greater glory of England; but exceeding mis∣fortune of our Enemies, whether Dutch, Dane, or French, whose imperious King findes great obstructions in his Civil affairs at home, and lesser satisfaction in his Military proceedings abroad; so that we may truly say of him, he may expect little gain, nor gainfull returns in such things and actions from which he thought to have reap∣ed great gain, his Confederates will reap no benefit from his assistance, and therefore there will follow Contro∣versies and disgusts between them, viz. there is much pro∣bability of a breach of the League betwixt him and the Dutch, and others. In November the Monarch of Great Britain visited from parts beyond the Seas by several Agents, for settlement of all differences and controver∣sies, so that if the Dutch be not ordain'd for a full destructi∣on, a peace in probability is near at hand; but if they shall still wilfully neglect his Majesties civility and clemency, let them note this Prediction, which will operate and be in full force against them all 1667. viz. unexpectedly they shall receive much dammage from whence they least expected it; constantly troubl'd with quarrellings and con∣troversies amongst their Martial Commanders, by whose malice much detriment happens unto them; a sudden wreck or subversion of their Estates (which is most part in Ships;) with shame and scorn many will be depos'd from

their Authority; they will in 1667 be so shaken with all manner of misfortunes, they will not know what to do.

The Prophesie of ARISE EVANS in his Book called The Light of the Jews, written 10 years since. In which Book he positively foretold the King's Restauration, and that it should be so miraculously as it was, viz. without Blood∣shed. He afterwards speaking of a War that should arise between Holland and the King, he pronounces these fol∣lowing words to declare the success of that War.

THE false, envious, perfidious, ingratefull, cove∣tous Hollander, being proud, reproacheth the King with foul language, because of his former afflictions, by which God refined and fitted him for future glory, and takes all occasion and advantage to do what mischief they can to the King and his Subjects; neither will they for∣bear, but still go on in their malice against the King, that God might utterly destroy them, and blott out their Names from being a STATE under Heaven; for proud Holland shall be made the first Object of God's wrath for fighting against King Charles, and despising him. Therefore blessed and happy shall those Kings and People be, that shall take their Power and Authority from King Charles, and live under his protection; for all his proud Enemies that shall despise him, and refuse to submit unto him, shall be destroyed. Afore this time, when the Hollander begged a relief from England, and had it, they then called themselves The poor distressed States; but now being rich and proud, they disdain all Kings, and call themselves The High and Mighty States of HOL∣LAND, and would have England to be theirs; but the English shall destroy them.

The same in his Eccho to the Voyce from Heaven, recites a Prophesie of Mr. Truswells, the Recorder of Lincoln, which is as followeth:

The Lilly shall remain in a merry World, and he shall be moved against the seed of the Lyon, and he shall stand on one side amongst Thrones of his Kingdom and Coun∣try; which Kingdom is the Land of the Moon, which is to be devided throughout all the World.

And there came the Son of Man, bearing three wilde Beasts in his Armes, with a Company of People, he shall pass many Waters, and he shall come to the Land of the Lyon looking for help with the Beasts of his own Country.

And in that year there shall come an Eagle out of the East, and his Wings spread with the Beams of the Son of Man.

And in that year shall be destroyed Castles upon Thames, and there shall be great fear over all the World, and in part of the Land. There shall be great Battles a∣mong many Kingdoms.

That day shall be the Bloody Field, and the Lilly shall lose his Crown, and there shall be Crowned the Son of Man.

And in the fourth year, many Battles shall be for the Faith, and most of the World shall be stoopen; but the Son of Man, with the Eagle, shall be preserved, and there shall be a Universal Peace over all the World. Then shall the Son of Man receive a miraculous Token, and there shall be great plenty of Fruits, and then he shall go to the Land of the Cross.

I will not undertake to interpret the aforesaid Prophe∣sie, only from my Author take notice, That by the Lilly is meant France; and by the Son of Man bearing three wilde Beasts in his Armes, is meant the King of Eng∣land; The rest will be then understood of course.

Thus we have led you through the learned Judgments of all our famous and most knowing Astrologers, who, as you heard, do all unâ voce fore tell Happiness and Suc∣cess to his Majestye in all his Undertakings; May they all prove unto him the words of Truth and Certainty: and truly there is little reason to doubt, since they have walked by the rule of that Art, which, although it layes no claim to Infallability, yet hath never in it self been detected of Falshood. For proof of which, I will quote you an Assertion out of Gaffarell's unheard of Curiosities, (c. 13. sect. 3.) and so conclude. His words are these:

All the Learned among the Antients called the Hea∣vens Sacred Books, among whom the Learned Origen, interpreting after this manner, that is subtilly and queint∣ly, that Passage in Genesis, Et er unt in signa, affirms, (as he is reported by Eusebius) That the Starres were placed in this order in the Heavens, for no other end but to shew by their divers Aspects, Conjunctions and Figures, whatever is to happen while the World en∣dures, as well in general as particular; yet not so, as if They were the Cause of these Things, never any such thing came into the Thought, much less into the Wri∣tings of this Learned Man; For as the Prophesies that are written in Books, are not the cause those Events which they foretell, but the sign: In like manner,

saith he, may the Heavens very justly be called a Book, wherein God hath written all that hath been is, and here∣after shall be. And for confirmation of this, he citeth a Passage out of a Book, the Title whereof is, Narratio Joseph, a Book in his time highly esteemed by all men, wherein the Patriatch Jacob giving his Blessing to all his Children, tells them, That he had read in the Tables of Heaven all that ever was to befall them and their Posteri∣ty. Whence the same Origen concludes, as well in his Tract on this Question, Utrum Stellae aliquid agant, as in his Book de fato, cap. 6. that some Mysteries may surely be read in the Heavens.

Let no Man therefore cavil at, or question the afore∣mentioned Judgement; but rather heartily pray, That they may be certainly fulfilled, to his Majesties Honor and Glory, and his Peoples Happiness and Satisfaction.

FINIS.
