Of the Eclipses, and what is observable from them this year, 1689. according to Mr. Andrews.

THe Frst Eclipse will be upon the 25th. of March, being of the Moon, between the hours of 6 & 7 at Night, being a total & centerial Eclipse, and is to be seen in England, if the Clouds or Mists intercept it not. Its beginning will be at 39 Minutes past 4 a Clock, the beginning of total Darkness will be at 45 Minutes past Five, the the middle or greatest Observation about 44 Minutes past Six. The be∣ginning of the Moons Recovering Light; about 43 Minutes past 7; & the end about 49 Minutes towards 8, and at the time of these Elip∣ses, Saturn is in the Fourth Degree of Scorpio, Retrogade in the ascen∣dant: Jupiter and Mars are in the Fourth house, Jupiter being in the 23d Degree of Aquarius, and Mars in the 6th. Degree, thereof the Sun and Caput Draconis, are in the 7th. house in the 15th. Degree of A∣ries, and Mercury is in the 6th. house, and in the 10th. Degree of the same sign, Retrograde; but to come near in this matter, it is the O∣pinion of the Learned, that an Eclipse so posited, is of no Benevolent Nature, but Denotes, Sorrow, Labour; Imprisonment; secret Contri∣vences, clandestive Actions, and Negotiations, &c. Wherefore it may may be reasonably conjectured, that those Countrys subject to its

Effects, may happen to fall under some unexpected Disorder; how∣ever, we are of Opinion, that those being only secondary Causes, prompting and not compelling, may by the over-ruling power of God, be prevented, for in his hands are the Breath of Life and Actions of Mankind, on whom we ought to Rely for our safety & preservation.

The second considerable Eclipse is of the Moon, on the 19th. day of September, about half an hour after 2 of the Clock in the Morning, which will be a total and centural Eclipse, visible with us, if the Air be serene and not over-cast with Clouds: The beginning will be a∣bout 15 Minutes past Midnight; the beginning of total Darkness, about 56 Minutes past one of the Clock; the middle or greatest ob∣servation, about 48 Minutes past two of the Clock; the beginning, or recovering Light, about 44 Minutes past three of the Clock, and the end about 46 Minutes past four of the Clock, the total Durati∣on about 3 hours and 54 Minutes, and the Digits Eclipsed, will be 20 & 39 Minutes, and the most material Configurations attending this Eclipse, are the opposition of Jupiter and Ʋenus, and of Saturn and Mars, it happening in the Eighth House, called by Astrologers Domus, morts and ends in the seventh, which they call the Angles of War, Quarrels, Strife, and contentious Mars is Lord of Aries, where the Eclipse falls out, is Retrograde and in his Detriment, so that the Effects may seem to be of no pleasant Importance, as fur∣thermore happening in the Fiery Triplicity, and first Decant of Aries. and in this Case, according to the Learned, it Denotes the motion of Armys, Death, and Destruction of small Cattle, Enmity between the Ʋulgar and Noble sort of people, Murthers, Thefts, Discords, Wars, sharp Fevours, Apparitions in the Air, and Mutations in those parts subject to the sign, wherein it happens, which we earnestly wish may be Averted from us and that we may enjoy our Religion, Li∣berty and Property in ••••ac and plenty. Amen, Amen.

FINIS.
