SECT. 12. Of the Astrological Judgment of the Year, 1694.

IN this Year there is no direction of the great Conjunction 1603, nor of the New Star 1604, but we have a notable Conjunction of Saturn and Mars, December the 10th, in 6 degrees of Capricornus. Besides there is a visible Eclypse of the Sun, in Opposition to the Conjuction of Saturn and Mars, on the 12th. day of June at 5 of the Clock at Night, The second Eclypse of the Sun is on December 6, at 5 of the Clock at Night, in 25 degrees of Sagitarius, the place of the Sun in the great Conjunction. The first Eclipse of the Moon is January the first day at Noon, in 22 degrees of Cancer, not visible. The second of the Moon falls on the 26th. of June at 12 of the Clock at Night in 15 degrees of Capricornus.

From these foregoing Configuration, I draw these following Judg∣ments. The Sweeds and Tartarians are up in Arms, and so are the Muscovtes; the Tartar Invades Muscovy, and brings great Calami∣ty upon that Country; the Dane or some other Country Invades Sweedland, there shall be a great destruction to a many Cities, and a great slaughter of their Inhabitants; the Hollander draws near to an end of that manner of way of Government, yet shall no Crown'd head ever conquer it, the change will come by the Peoples consent. Scotland is much disquieted, and will go nigh to Rebel; Burgundy shall tast of the Cup, and Venice will go nigh to be taken by the Plaguerage; York will tast of the evil of this Year, neither shall Ox∣ford be free, there is a bitter potion for that City to drink, which God in his Mercy divert; Brandenburg will feel the smart of War; Ireland thou must come in for a share of suffering: in short, such will be the subtilty of the Roman Clergy, that they by their insinuating

shall draw most if not all the Princes of Europe to their destruction, all which shall but make way for their own, which will be compleated in a few Years now.
