Vates astrologicus, or, England's astrological prophet, fortelling what is likely to befall Great-Britain and Ireland, particularly the great and famous city of London as also France, Holland, Spain, Germany, Poland, Italy, Sicily, Apalia, Bohemia, Turkey, and indeed all Europe, but more especially the see of Rome, for twenty years together, beginning March 10, 1683, and ending March 10, 1702 : likewise astrological judgments of the effects of that famous triple conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, being thrice repeated in that regal sign Leo, the great dignities of the Sun and Jupiter : also some remarks upon the eclipses, and more especially upon that great and famous visible eclipse of the sun, July 2, 1684 : with twenty years predictions from some of the most eminent mutual aspects of the planets, and eclipses of the luminaries, and annual revolutions of the sun : here are also many hieroglyphicks representing the future state and changes of the world : to which is added a treatise of the pestilence, both for the prevention and cure thereof / by Richard Kirby.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1693.

ON the 22d day of April Saturn and Jupiter make their Opposition from Gemini and Sagitarius, and there is also a remarkable Opposition between Saturn and Mars from the same Signs, and we have no less than four Eclipses between the Sun and Moon this year, from which Configurations we may rationally Judge of many strange Actions and Calamities, which is likely to happen in several places of Europe; as thus, Spain is still a loser: Oh what a Distraction is there! and not only there, but in many more places besides; for Bohemia, Sycily, Togata, and some part of the Turks Dominions, is threatned with Penury, that is, with scarcity of Grain, and other Provision: Rome is also much concerned herein, and if they have a Plague this year, let them think of me, for there is a bitter Potion prepared for that City; therefore Tom. Jesuite prepare thy self for a change; nay, the Pope himself also, Hungary, Dalmatia, Moravia, Misnia, Sclavonia, Celtica, Chaldea, Phenicia, Orchinia, Damasco, Siracusa, and Rouenna do also lament, and well they may, for their Afflictions are great; Holland, Scotland, Granado, Burgundy, Ze∣land, Prusia, Numidia, and indeed all Cities under Aries, Libra, Cancer, and Ca∣pricorn, are much herein concerned; Holland is threatned with many Diseases, and sudden Deaths to the meaner sort of People: Scotland, Granado, and Burgundy are also threatned with Mortality: The City Gemini must also expect to have a share of this years Transactions, perhaps some of her Magistrates brought to Justice for their former Villanies, and in all probability some secret Plots may be discovered, and the chief Actors thereof brought to severe punishment: London is under the Government of Gemini, so is Flanders too; that Land is like to suffer extreamly by their own Folly, &c.
