Catastrophe mundi, or, Europe's many mutations until the year 1701 being an astrological treatise of the effects of the triple conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter 1682 and 1683, and of the comets 1680 and 1682, and other configurations concomitant : wherein the fate of Europe for these next 20 years is ... more than probably conjectured ... : also, an ephimeris [sic] of all the comets that have appeared from ... 1603 to the year 1682 ... : whereunto is annexed the hieroglyphicks of Nostrodamus ... / by John Holwell.

CHAP. V. Of the Comet that appeared Anno 1618.

OF this Comet hath Mr. Lilly treated of in his Prophetical Merlin, therefore I shall not undertake to write my Judgment thereon, because the Effects are already past, only write down the Ephemeris thereof, and the Figure of the Full Moon following, that from thence and the effects that be past, we may be able to find out a true measure of time for such like Prodigies, which cannot be done without Examples; for the Ancients have given us but very little light therein.

[illustration]

The Comets place at Full Moon following which was Nov. 21. at 12 b 15 m. P. M. 1681.

The Comet first ap∣peared about the 11 day, but was not seen by every one till the 18 day, from which time the Ephemeris be∣gins.

By this Table you may perceive the Cause of all the Troubles which happened from 1640, to 1648. is fore-shewed by the Comet 1618. with other Configurations; I shall proceed to the Conjuncti∣on, 1623.
