SECT. 10. Of the Astrological Judgment of the Year, 1692.

ALL the Directions that will be this Year, is only Mercury to the Quartile of his own place, but there is the second Opposition of Saturn and Jupiter, Saturn being 14.11. of Sagitarius, and Jupi∣ter 14.11. of Gemini. There is also a very remarkable Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in 15 degrees of Sagitarius, very near the New Star, 1604. there is also no less than 5 Eclypses this Year; the first falls on the 23d. of January (an Eclypse of the Moon) at 2 of the Clock, in 14 degrees of Leo; the second is of the Sun, on the 6th. of February, about 5 of the Clock at Night, in 28 degrees of Aquarius, these two are not visible, the third will be an Eclypse of the Moon on the 18th. day of July, at 4 of the Clock in the Morning, in 6 degrees of Aquarius; the 4th. will be of the Sun August the 2d. day at 9 of the Clock in the Morning, in 20 degrees of Leo, and the last will be of the Sun on the 27th. day of December at 2 of the Clock in the After∣noon, in 17 degrees of Capricornus. Both these two of the Sun, and the last of the Moon are visible.

Now comes the tripple Conjunction 1682, to operate to the purpose: The Sun suffering an Eclypse upon the very degree of that Conjunction, and the Moon suffers an Eclypse upon the very degree of the Conjunction May 1683. Alass poor Italy, how art thou af∣flicted? Spain is also Partakers with thee, thou art threatned with scarcity of Grain, many of thy People will dye for want of Bread, and those that are left will be Rebels against their Governours, it declares damage to Kings and great Persons, (viz.) their Death, or Ba∣nishment, a Pope if there be any about these times, will dye: France and England are intoxicated with Tribulation, but in what nature, time will best declare: The Hungarians drink deep of the Cup of Affliction, a great Famine is threatned them, and all the East part of Germany: France is more concerned than England, nay she shall quake for fear: Alass, Bohemia thou art in a bad condition, and so is Sicily, the Tar∣tars, and the Sweed, are much concerned this Year.
