☽ ✶ ♂, ad □ ☉ & ☿, ♀ ☍ ♄ & ♃, ☿ ☌ ☉, Sol in Aries, March the 10th, 8 Hours 11 Min mane, Londini, Lat. 51 deg 32, 1683

In this Figure of the Sun's ingress into Aries, common and fixed Signs possess the Angles, viz. the Ascendent and Mid-heaven, and Jupiter with that glorious Lamp of Heaven, the Sun, rules, and hath power in the North and West Angles; Mercury, Lord of the ascendent is in the sign of the twelfth, the mansion of Sorrow and Affliction, and there retrograde and combust of the Sun; and the Moon is in the eight in her Detriment, in square of the Sun and Mercury: Therefore I fear but little of good can be expected this half year; the vulgar and common people are still dejected, and make great Com∣plaint for the Want of Trade, and Moneys, and all such things as are necessary for their Supportment: and besides, the Moon in the 8. doth certainly shew, that a great many people must yield to pale Death this year, who will not be denyed by the Princes of the Earth when their time is come: But the Moon being the Earth's attendant, and but a secondary Planet, cannot signifie such grand alterations in the World as the primary and superiour Planets do; especially when they happen to be conjoyned together, as here they are in the angle of the Earth, and there opposed by Venus from the 10th, which sheweth, that many Fears and Troubles shall fall upon men, and that their Hearts and Minds shall be possessed with Jealousies and strang Apprehensions, and that not without just cause; for you must note, that Saturn and Jupiter in the fourth, retrograde, shews some secret Plot and Design a hatching; but let the Contrivers thereof look to it, for it will be most happily and timely discovered; for it was never known that ever Wo∣men were good Counsel-keepers. Therefore I judge, that Venus in the 10th, in Conjun∣ction with the Dragon's Tayl, and being in opposition to Saturn and Jupiter, shews some Woman or Women shall discover the Villanies of this Plotting Council, &c. And be∣sides, it signifies a Dark Obscure Air, Earthquakes, and Destruction to the Fruits both of the Trees and Earth. Also; it signifies Povorty and Indigency; also a Scarceness of Fruits and Provisions, great Mischiefs, Cold in the extremity, grievour Fears, Anxie∣ties, Terrors and Troubles, much Want and Scarcity of the Fruits of the Earth, and a superfluity of Evils, Torments and Grievances, incident to those places under the signs Leo and Aquarius, which be Rome, Italy, Cicily, Bohemia, Turky, Phenicia or Chal∣dea; for Satura and Jupiter da••ts their Evil Influence mostly into the Courts of Prince, and will shew their dire Effects to those Countries and Regions which are under the signs Leo and Aquarius, as Tartary, Muscovia, Sweedland, Piedmount, Hamborough, Breem, Trent, Bavaria and Salizburgh. And further, you must note, such Positions as these, do alwayes denote Strife, Trouble and Confusion amongst the Grandees of Europe, with many Informations against great Persons in the Courts of Princes, and those which are of the highest Degree and Quality: besides, I judge this hath been a long time a contriving, since this Opposition is made from fixed signs and angles, &c. Now Saturn is in a sign wherein he hath no essential Dignities, which shews, that ancient people shall desert their Habitaaions, and be drawn out of one place into another, it may be out of thei own natural soil; for here is no loss than four of the Planets retrograde, which motion shews those places under the signs Ares, Leo, Libra and Aquarius to be in a strang kind of posture at the time of this ingress. But at the latter end of March, and the beginning of April, the t••o superiours become both direct, by which motion they meet in conjunction in May, at which time I fear much Treachery, with Tumults and Commotion of Arms in many places of Europe: for, take this for an approved Apho∣rism, that when any of the superiours, viz. Saturn, Jupiter or Mars, are in conjunction, or any other malevolent Configuration one of another, there happens great and manifest Al∣terations in this Elementary World, with Alterations of Laws, Customs, Kingdoms and Empires: Therefore Rome prepare thy self to entertain Showers of Judgment; for a

Plague is threatned unto thee; and I am apt to believe, this is thy declining Age; for the Lord hath declared in the 6th Chapter of Ezekiel, and the 3d Verse, Behold I, even I, will bring a Sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places: Verse 4. And your Altars shall be desolate, and your Images of the Sun shall be broken; and I will cast down your slain Men before your Idols: Verse the 11th, For they shall fall by the Sword, by the Famine, and by the Pestilence: Verse the 13th, And you shall know that I am the Lord, when their slain Men shall be among their Idols: Verse the 14th, So will I stretch mine Hand upon them, and make their Land waste and desolate, from the Wilderness unto Diblath, in all their Habita∣tions; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

I had almost forgot Cauda in the 10th, in that humane sign Aquarius; which shews, that Rulers, Great Men and Landlords shall be very Injurious and Tyrannical over their Subjects, Servants and Tenants, and shall afflict, tax and grind their Faces beyond com∣mon humanity and honesty; and Tradesmen will devise wayes in their Trades to cozen and cheat their Neighbours; and the Chief Rulers shall have Crosses and Troubles, and per∣haps some of their Honours ecclipsed; and still all this shall be carried on by a cloak and shew of Friendship, and that by some She Counsel: and all these things will fall in particular upon those places which are under the signs Leo and Aquarius; perhaps Tartaria, Mus∣covia, Aethiopia, Media, Italy, Damasco, Bohemia and Rome in particular.

England! I could say something to thee too, but it is no great matter whether I do or not, since thou dost not care for hearing it.

Now, as to the Diseases this half year, they are many, and are signified by Mars in the 6th, in Libra, and Venus lady thereof, who is posited in the tenth in Aquarius, both a rial signs; thus Venus being opposed by Saturn and Jupiter, who are with two notable fix∣ed Stars of the nature of Saturn and Mars, then by consequence it must be Pains or Swel∣lings in the Leggs and Knees, occasioned from some cold cause, with violent Pains in the Head and Heart, also Afflictions in the Reins and Kidneys either by Stone or Gravel lodg∣ed in those parts, and consequently pains in the Bladder, with a hot Urin; nay in this Case we may expect the French Pox to be very frequent, and chiefly to those Persons which are of the Nature of Mars and Venus; and besides, we may justly fear the Plague, or some other Epidemical Disease equivolent, too near approaching; for Mars in Librae signifies Diseases occasioned by Corruption of Blood through Chollar, as the Pestilence, Burning Feavours, Tertian and Quotidian Agues, Megrim, Carbuncles and Plague Sores; Burnings, Scaldings, Ringworms, ••listers, Yellow Jaundise, Bloody Flux, Fistula's, Shingles, Calentu••es, Small Pox, Meazles, and all Diseases of Chollar. Let no man think that I predict these things positively; for the Heavens shew only natural Inclinations, not positive Actions; therefore, if we bend our Wills to serve the true God, and strive to taste of the Cup of Repentance, we need not to fear but that the Lord will remove the bitter Cup far from us, which he hath so long forewarned us of, as hath been plainly seen by our mortal Eyes, as by Three Suns, Ships and Armies Fighting in the Air, likewise two Dreadful Comets, Fiery Darts, and great Meetings of the supetiour Stars, besides many Ecclipses of the Sun and Moon, some of them being Total, and near Centural too.

IN the next place, I shall proceed to the Judgment of the Autumnal half year, which this year begins September 12-14 Hours; 58 Minutes past Noon, as may be seen by the Calculation at large.

☽ ✶ ♄ ad ✶ ♃ & ♀, ♀ ☌ ♃, ♂ ad □ ♃ & ☿ ✶ ♂ Septemb. 13. 2. hou. 58 min. mane, 1683: Lat. 51. 32. Londini.

A judicious Eye may perceive by this Position, that all things at the present seem to be at a stand, and yet many close and secret Designs are hatching, if not P••ots contri∣ving; for all the angles are fixed, and the Planets themselves subterranean, and no less than five of them much debilitated: Jupiter is in his detriment, and Venus in her fall, and both squared by Mars, who is in opposition to Gemini, London's Ascendent, which portends much Sorrow and Affliction to the people in general▪ as well in England, as in forreign parts. But what these Changes shall be, I am not able to divine; therefore I shall leave it to swift-winged Time to unfold the Mystery: Yet to wind the strings a little higher, and that without Injury to Astrology or any man's Opinion, I conclude, that the Actions and Affairs of States and Kingdoms will be eminent and considerable in many places of Europe, chiefly in Spain, Rome, Italy, Holland, France, Hungary and Bohe∣mia, and in many more places too tedious for me here to relate. This position threatens them with Wars, Bloodshed, Mutanies, Commotions of Arms, and with many strang and unnatural Diseases, &c. Besides, I perceive Mars to be Lord of the 9th, which is the House of Religion, which seems unto me as if he had a mind to turn Preacher; a prety Fellow to make a Parish Priest on? And besides, Saturn in the ascendant, just lea∣ving the sign Leo, and entering into Virgo; the great Dignity of Mercury, doth inform me that the great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter doth begin to operate, yet but very Slowly, for within some few months Saturn becomes Retrograde and so enters into Leo a∣gain, therefore I do believe we shall not see its effects in a full measure untill the year 1686. yet I do fear the plague or some other epidemical distemper long ere that time. God of his mercy divert his Judgments and send them far from us, even to the Remote parts of the earth, for Saturn in the ascendant doth much trouble, perplex and disturb the hearts of many persons with Terrors and fears, but the moon having dignities in the Eleventh, and she defluxing from a sextil of Saturn and applying to a sextil of Jupiter and Venus doth shew that many will labour to secure themselves and their Friends too; and truly their la∣bour will be very great, for the Moon is in her fall, and in that Treacherous sign Scorpio, which makes me much to Fear, that many of them will be but pretended Friends. And to conclude, Mercury being disposer of Jupiter and Venus, and he sextil of Mars, doth shew many Pamphlets and Libels shall be dispersed Abroad, on purpose to Disturb and Perplex the Hearts and Minds of good honest well meaning Persons, who do strive to Settle and Compose all former Difference, but let those ill confused Agents look to it, for the Devil never brings them into a Praemunire, but he leaves them there to work their own Redemp∣tion. And so I shall proceed to the consideration of the Ecclipses this year. Thus three times will the Glorious Lamps of Heaven be deprived of their Light, viz. Once the Sun and Twice the Moon, the first is of the Sun on January the 17th, near three a Clock After∣noon Visible, it falls in the first face of Aquary, it causeth publique Sorrow and Sadness: The second is of the Moon on the first of February, about three Afternoon Invisible, it falls in the last face of Leo: This incites the People and Armies, to new Actions and Attempts of War. The third and last Ecclipse is likewise of the Moon, which falls on July the 28th; at eight a Clock in the Morning Invisible, this falls in the second face of Aquary, which por∣tends much hurt both to the Fruits and Seeds of the Earth; and that perticularly to those Places under the Lunations Ecclipsed; which you may read at large in my very good friend Mr. Cooleys Clavis of Astrology, page the 92, and 93, &c.

And so I shall proceed, to the consideration of the figure of the Suns ingress into Aries, for the year 1684. beginning March the 9th, 1 hour 57 minutes past noon, as it doth ap∣pear by this following Calculation.

☽ ✶ ☿ ad △ ♃ & □ ♃, ♀ △ ♄ ♂ ad △ ♄, March the 9th, 1 hours, 57 mi. past noon, 51. 32.

The Angles of this figure are all fixed, and Saturn is in the ascendant Retrograde with a notable fixed Star, viz. Corleonis, and applies to a time of Mars, by his Retrograde motion who is posited in the 9th, in Conjunction with Venus, who is Ruler of the Mid-heaven, upon which position I Judge his Holiness feels himself begin to Decline, yea, both he and

his whole Dominions; for Saturns long transit through the sign Leo, besides his t••iple Conjunction with Jupiter in the same, makes him begin to look about him, and he finds it the best way to make Friends with his neighbouring Nations, as England, France, Ger∣many, Polonia, Denmark, Palestine, Naples, Syria, Burgundy, and many more places which are under the sign Aries, as may be seen by his application to the time of Mars in this figure, but all this will not do; for Saturns continuance almost three years in the sign Leo, will shew it's di••e effects to those places under that Constellation and it's opposit sign Aquary, therefore Rome once more I forewarn thee, to prepare thy self to entertain sho••••s of Judgment, for thou hast taken delight in spilling of Blood; and now ere long thou may'st live to drink it, for as thou hast been a Persecutor of the People of God, in due time thou may'st and must look to be called to an Account. And besides, Saturn in the ascendant, with Corleonis, and there weak and much debilitated, Denotes mischief and trouble to People in their proper Persons, also strange Infirmities, with many Vexations and Misfortunes, and that perticular to those Places under the signs Leo and Aquary, which you may read in Mr. Coleys Clavis of Astrology, page the 92 &c. Therefore I shall for∣bear reciting any perticular place, but proceed in further consideration of the figure, as thus, Jupiter in the second according to the Rules of Art, doth promise increase of fortune to the People in General, and that they should Enjoy the Fruits of the Earth, and Reap their Crops in due season, and my reason is this, because Jupiter is in Virgo, a sign of the Earthly Triplicity, but considering Jupiter is in his Detriment, and Mercury much Debili∣tated, who is his disposer, and applies to his Opposition, Mercury being Lord of the 11th likewise, Therefore I Judge that many Persons who are put in place of great Trust, and though they be counted worth Thousands, will turn Bankrupts, and so Deprive and De∣fraud the Widow and the Fatherless of their proper Rights: But considering the Moon is a general Significator of the common People, and she posited in the Mid-heaven in her Exal∣tation, and no ways Impedited but in sextil of Mercury, and applying to a trine of Jupiter, Therefore I Judge that we in England shall be in a Good and Prosperous Condition, and Enjoy our Libertys, and that we should be in good Esteem and Credit with our Superiours and Governours; but I must tell you by the way, that Cauda in the sixt, and Saturn Lord thereof in the Ascendant, doth foreshow Strang and Unwholesom Ai••, which may cause many Prodigious Diseases both to Man and Beast, as Violent afflictions at the Heart, Weakness in the Knees, Pains in the Back, Melancholy Fears and Grief, a Decay or Con∣sumption in the Reins and Inward parts, also Corruption of the Blood, Black Jaundis, Palsie, Vain fears, Gouts of all sorts, and many Strange and Unheard of Distempers: Neither shall we be free from many Open Enemies, striving to Oppose and Disturb the Government, with many strang Reports from several parts beyond the Seas, as may be seen in the Figure. Mars in the 9th, shews dangers in Travail both by Sea and Land, as sudden Shipwracks, occasioned by several Storms and Tempests, and many of our Ships Plundered by Py••ats; for Carden saith, if Mars be posited in a fie••y sign, great heat follows Burning of Houses, with great Lightnings and Wars; Example that great Fire in Wapping, in 82. Which was Predicted by me in my Almanack the same Year; at which time Mars was in Aries, as here he is now. But I judge much of this Evill will be abated this Year; for the Sun and Venus Beautifies the Ninth house, as much as Mars deforms it, therefore hope the best. And besides Venus tyes the sword of Mars from do∣ing much damage, though she be in her Detriment; for Venus is Venus still, let her be where she will: Yet Venus and the Sun in the 9th, Usually shews Men of Religious orders, to Flight and Remove from one place and house to another: And again I am apt to believe, that Men shall Dream true Dreams; and perform many long Journeys with Safety, and Profit,

and Gain thereby; and that they should be lovers of the Law both of God and Man: and esteem of all good Learning, & strive to be Virtuous: And besides Souldiers should be very Succesful, and perform many notable Exploits, and overcome their Enemys, and gain good Esteem and Honour thereby. And my reason is this, because Mars is so Strong in his own Essential Dignities, and so well supported by Venus, &c. In the next place I shall give you an account of the Luminaries Ecclipsed this Year: Four times will the Heavenly Lamps be deprived of their Glorious Light viz. twice the Sun and as often the Moon; the first will be an Ecclipse of the Sun, which falls on the sixth day of January, about six at night Invisible, it falls in the last face of Capricorn: it denotes Famine and Tumultary motions of Princes. The second Ecclipse is of the Moon, and it falls on June the seventeenth, at three of the clock in the Morning, in the first face of Capricorn, and Visible; this denotes Sugges∣tions among Men, and Untimely Death or Mischeif to some Illustrious and Noble Man. The third will be an Ecclipse of the Sun, on July the second, about three of the clock After∣noon, Visible to us in England, and almost Total, for above two thirds of the Suns body will be darkened, it falls in the last face of Cancer, this denotes Sedicious Hidropical Dis∣eases, and causeth Pestilent and grievous Mortalities, and causeth Winds and alterations of the Weather, which much troubles the Air; it also dryeth up Rivers and Fountains, like∣wise it denotes the Death of some great Person or Ruler. The fourth and last Ecclipse is of the Moonr it falls on the eleventh day of December, at eleven at night Visible, it happens in the first face of Cancer, this causeth Wars and Innundations or Overflowing of the Sea banks, &c. In Mr. Cooleys Clavis of Astrology, you may find what places are most like∣ly to Suffer and Feel the effects of these Ecclipses, which is Scotland, Holland, Burgundy, Saxony, Granado, Zeland, Prusia, Hasia, Macedonia, Oxford, Guant, &c.

JJudgment Upon That great and Famous Ecclipse of the Sun, 1684, Wednesday, 2d July 2 hours 40 minutes afternoon, at which Time, about two thirds of the Suns body will be darkned from our sight &c.

The Sun Ecclipsed July the 2d, 2 Hours 40 past noon, 1684. ☽ ☌ ♂ ☿ ✶ ♃ & ☌ ☉, ☿ ☌ ♂, ♂ ad ✶ ♃, &c.

The Sun and Moon have obtained the Administration or Ruling of the Heavens, the Sun is Lord of all Elementary Virtue, and the Moon by Virtue of the glorious Sun, is Mis∣triss of Generation, Increase or Decrease. Hence A••bumasor saith,

that by the Sun and Moon Life is Infused into all things; by him so many glorious Lamps of Heaven do shine, by him the Elements stand, the Winds blow, the Plants flourish, living Creatures have sence:

Which therefore Orpheus calls the Enlivening Eyes of the Heavens, the Sun gives light to all things of it self, and gives it Plentifully to all things, not only in the Heaven and Air, but Earth and Deep, he produces the Day here and the Night there, here it is fair Weather, by and by Thunder, Storms and Lightning, he passeth into Waters, then into Hail, being ever one and the same Artifict, of six hundred Arts, he paints the Clouds with Azure colour, Cloaths the tops of the Mountains with Gold, what ever Creatures are either in the Heavens or in the Earth, all of them do love the Sun riseing, Nature being Guide: It is the property of all Living Creatures to rejoyce with the Light and Refresh∣ment of the Sun; whatsoever Good we have, as Jamblicus saith, we have it from the Sun alone, or from it through other things, therefore it is called Fons vitae the Fountain of Life, or lux Mundi the Light of the World, or Oculus Mundi the Eye of the World, or Anama Mundi the Soul of the World: Hence therefore many of the Platonists placed the Soul of the World chiefly in the Sun, and Heraclitus calls the Sun the Fountain of Coe∣lestial light, and hence the Ancient Naturalist called the Sun the very heart of Heaven, so it sends forth its rays on all sides, as it were a Spirit through all things, distributing Life Sence and Motion to the very Universe, and it sits as King in the midle of the other Pla∣nets, excelling all in Light Greatness and Fairness; Enlightning all, distributing Vertue to them to dispose Inferiour Bodys, & Regulating & Disposing of their Motions, so that from thence their motions, are Dayly or Nightly Southern or Northern, Oriential or Occidenti∣al, Direct or Retrograde, and as it doth by its Light drive away all the Darkness of the Night, so also all Powers of Darkness, which we read of in Job, as soon as Morning ap∣pears they think of the Shadow of Death: Thus the Sun is the very Author of seasons, from whence, Day and Year, Cold and Heat, and all other Qualities of Seasons, as Ptolomy saith, when the Sun comes unto the place of any Star, it stirs up the power thereof, so as with Mars heat, with Saturn cold; and it disposeth even the spirit and mind of man; from hence its said by Homer, and approved by Aristole, that there are in the mind such like mo∣tions, as the Sun the Prince and Moderator of the Planets, every day bringeth to us: There∣fore shall we then say, or be so Innocent of the Heavenly Ordinances, as to deny this great Luminary any Influence upon Humane and Mundene Affairs, or to be so stupid, as to think that when this great Light is obscured from us, that there is nothing thereby signified unto Mortal Men?

God Created the two great Lights, viz. the Sun and Moon for Signs and Seasons, there∣fore the Moon hath a certain natural Mutability, whereby she easily Cummunicates unto us, the sence of other Stars, &c.

Now let us come to the intended Subject, viz an Ecclipse of the Sun, which is very great; whence we may ex••ect as great Accidents or Effects to follow: Such a face of Heaven hath not been seen since the Creation. All the Planets are in the 9th house, viz, four in Cancer with Caput, and three in Ʋirgo: Jupiter hath great dignities in Cancer, and here is no less then four Planets beholds him, by a sextil Aspect from the same; Sure this must shew some notable Work Impending concerning Religion: But before I shall pass my Judgement at length upon this vast Ecclipse of the Sun; I shall consider three things.

First, unto what Region, Kingdom, City or People, the effects of this Ecclipse shall ap∣pertain.

Secondly, The Time when the Effects shall begin, and how long Time the Events of this Ecclipse shall continue?

Thirdly, What events may be expected from the Ecclipse, &c.

Now in regard this Ecclipse is made in Cancer, therfore I shall judge its effects to fall upon Scotland, Granado, Burgundy, Holland, Zeland, Prusia, Numidia, Africa, Bi∣thinia, Calchis, Carthage, Constantinople, Tunis, Venice, Genoa, Lucas-pisa, Millain, Vincentia, Berne, York, St. Andrews in Scotland, Lubeck, Magdeburg, Wittenburg, Gorlick, Macedonia, Illyria, Thracia, Bosina, Albania, Oxford, Guant, India, &c.

The next thing we have to consider, is the time when this Ecclipse will begin to Opperate, and how long the effects may continue: now in regard it is made in the ninth Angle: Therefore I judge the effects will begin about eight months from the time of the Ecclipse, and will Continue two Years, or thereabouts, &c.

The Third and last thing is, what the effects or event of this Ecclipse may be, as thus considering the sign where this great defect of the Sun doth happen, to be one of the Cardinal signs, and our summer Solstice: Therefore it signifies alteration of Air, & of Offices, or Places, or Government, it likewise presages a Rot or Consumption of the vulgar sort of People, with Rumours, Seditiors, and expectations of Wars, Destruction of Fish and Water-soul, great Innundations and overflowings of the Sea Banks, it likewise procures a Rotteness or Corruption in the Fruits when they are gathered, occasioning Surfeits and Sicknesses to such as eat them, as Hydropical Diseases, which may cause Petulent and grie∣vous Mortalities, it likewise foreshews the Diseases of France, Naples, Spain, and En∣gland, and indeed all the World; Let them that are inclined to Venery have a care, again it foreshews Sea fights, Long and Dangerous Navigations, with strang kind of Stormes and Tempests at Sea, and much Loss to the Generous and Industrious Merchant, with thunder∣ing Noises and Uproars about Religion, as well at Home as Abroad, and that by all sorts of People from the Highest to the Lowest Degree; for so many Planets in the 9th, in Con∣junction in Cancer, and all in sextil to Jupiter, who is exalted therein; can intimate no Less then Great and Fierce disputes about Religious matters, besides Mercurys application to the body of Mars, by a retrograde motion, who suddenly transits the degree of the Ecclipse, shews that many strange kind of Paper conflicts shall be dispersed abroad, on purpose to incite Men to Quarrel, for here is a Violent Storm Impending, and Wo to those People in Europe, on whom it doth fall; for as a blow with a stick stirs up the madness of a Dog which before lay Asleep, so doth the Coelistial Harmony disclose Virtues lying in the Ele∣ments, and stirs them up, strengthneth them, and makes them manifest, and as I may say, produceth that into Act, which before was only in Power. And thus to conclude I judge, that Mars's sudden transit through the Degree of the Ecclipse, will cause extra∣ordinary sultry blasts, and great heat, hot pestilent Winds, pestiferous and infectious Thunder, Lightnings, Whirlewinds, immesurable Droughts, with strong kind of Wea∣ther, and variety of it; and besides, men will be inclined to Arms, and to violate Natio∣nal Leagues, Deceitful under the species of Religion; for Mars hastes to a Sextil of Ju∣piter, who is a natural significator thereof; besides, Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Mercury are much debilitated in the Figure of this Ecclipse, which much verifieth our Judgment, according to this following Aphorism, Notabiliter infortunantur, planeta, per retrogra∣dationem, combustionem, peregrinationem, detrimentum, & casum: Planets are extream∣ly made unfortunate when they are either Retrograde, Combust, Perogrine in their Detri∣ment

or Fall. By how much the more this Aphorism is verified in our present Ecclipse, and Vernal Ingress, by so much more the greater Evils may be expected; for in our Ver∣nal Ingress Saturn was peregrine in his detriment and retrograde, and in the Figure of our Ecclipse we have Mars in his fall, from hence we may expect one Mischief upon the neck of another; and in regard this Ecclipse doth happen in a watery sign, viz. Cancer, the great Dignities of the Moon and Jupiter, it may denote much Contention upon Water or the Seas, about the Right of Fishing, either of our own Nation, the Hollander, or some other Northern People; as also, in regard Jupiter hath significations of Laws, and Rights and Priviledges political, there may be doubted much Controversie to arise about the Pri∣viledges of Fishing; but in regard Jupiter is in sextil to this Ecclipse, therefore I judge the Dred will be more than the Harm, as to that, altho' there will not want sufficient En∣deavours to the contrary: but since Jupiter is Ruler of the Law, which is grounded upon pure Reason, and of it self is the most equal and most just Law, that ever did appear in any Nation, giving every man his Right, and Tryal by his Equals; herein we allow no Abuse: and so I shall conclude with the Poet,

— As in great Haste. What makes the Golden Stars to march so Fast? What makes the Moon sometimes to mask her Face? The Sun also, as if in some Disgrace?

You that have Eyes to see the Stars, and strange Signs in the Heavens, have more Rea∣son to cry out with Admiration than Dyonisius Areopagita, who seeing the strang Ecclipse of the Sun and Moon at the instant Hour of our Saviour's Passion, said, Aut Deus natura patitur aut mundi, machina dissoluitur: Either the God of Nature suffers, or else the Frame of the World is dissolved. So much from the great Eye of Heaven, &c.

IN the next place I shall proceed to Judgment upon the Scheme of the Sun's Ingress into Ares, commencing March the 9th, 1685. 7 hours, 42 minutes past noon; as may be seen by the following Calculation, by the Rudolphin Tables, &c.

* 1.1The Warlike Planet Mars doth make a tedious transit through the Sign Sa∣gitarius this year, viz. compleat seven moneths; Sagitarius is the great Dig∣nities of Jupiter: I hope the Souldier doth not intend to turn Preacher; Mars is all for pulling down Religion, and not for promoting it. Men of desperate Fortune, have base and unlucky De∣signs. Let Mars command the needy Souldier, and Saturn the superstitious Sectary Count y∣man. Look for an End of our Troubles at Dooms Day. Oh! who can endure this factious Crew of Raschals, who pretend Religion and Conscience, and yet neither Fear God, nor Honour their King: But I shall leave them, till their Hypocrisie is detected, and the measure of their Iniquity at the height; but I hope we shall not suffer them long in their Designs, God being on our sides.

Here followeth the Sheme of the Sun's Ingress into Ares.

☽ ☌ ♄ ad ☍, ☉ ♀ & ☿ & ☿ ad □ ♂, & ☍ ♄, ☿ ad ☌ ♀, ☉ ad △ ♂ & ♂ □ ♄, lat. 51. 31.

In this figure all the Angles are moveable, Jupiter Angular in the ascending part of Hea∣ven, and Venus is in her exaltation, in conjunction with Mercury, and in strong Reception with Jupiter by house, which significations according to the rules of Art, shews that we should enjoy both Peace and Plenty, and that the People should be succesful in all their Undertakings and Enterprises; and that they should be fortunate on every side, Healthful in their Bodys, and that they should be lovers of the law both of God and Man, and that they should be desirous to search after many divine Mysteries, and that those which belong to Theology and the Law should be had in great and high esteem, as Judges, Counsellers, and Men of all sorts of Religious Orders, so you must note Jupiter signifies, all Judges, Counsellers, all Ecclesiastical Men, both Priest and Levites, Chancellors, Law∣ers, or those that follow the Law, from the Highest to the Lowest, all Schollars and Stud∣dents in general, and in this figure of the Suns ingress, he doth in part signify the common People, therefore their conditions should be very Prosperous, Good and Happy, dureing this spring Quarter: but in regard the Moon is thus Afflicted by the body of disaffected Saturn; Therefore I shall judge the condition of the common People to be but very Mean and Ordinary; yet the position of Jupiter in the ascendant, in an aireal sign, shews a plea∣sant Spring, with a temperate Air, & very healthful to the People in general, & besides Venus being in her exaltation and in the 5th house; shews advantage unto Women, and that they shall generally be free from Infirmities and Mischiefs, they shall love and delight in the so∣ciety of their Husbands: Shall be Fruitful and easily conceive and bring Forth, the People shall generally Thrive and be Prosperous, shall delight themselves in Recreations, Sports, Feastings, Mirth and Jollities, and all Pleasures whatsoever; and because Venus is in a

watry sign, it shews plenty of Fish, and Rain in due season; but in regard Venus applies to a square of Mars in the second; I judge much of this will be abated. Now in the next place I shall say something concerning the position of Saturn in the eleventh; near the body of the Moon, she being Lady of the tenth, and he within few degrees of the square of Mars, who is lord of the 7th, it being the 10th from the Medium Coeli, such positions as these do oftentimes destroy Leagues and Friendship between Kingdom and Kingdom; and it is much to be feared, there will not want strange and strong endeavours to set us at odds with some other Nation or Nations, or they with us; but the Heavens shew only Natural Incli∣nations, not Positive actions. Saturn is unfortunately placed in the eleventh, which signifies that his cold & evil Influence, will spread it self over the whole Kingdom, under the sign of his position, and that the King or chief Ruler of that Kingdom or People, should remove his Habitation from one house to another, do little good, and yet will lay or impose heavy Taxes or Impositions upon the People, and shall not perform what is Just in their Esteem: Now this position is in Virgo, therefore it relates perticularly to Lyons, Paris, Basil, Corinthia, A∣chaia, Greece, Crete, Babylon, Assyria, Hierusalem, Gallia; the Dukedom of Athens, is hereby threatned with some kind of Penury, or Want, or Scarcity in their Provisions: Mercury is ruler of the 9th house, and Venus is lady of the ascendant, and they apply to a square of Mars, and to an opposition of disaffected Saturn in the 11th house, the 9th house signifies Religion, and all affairs appertaining to the Church, whence we may rationally conclude, this is the antecedent or forerunner of many Divisions, high Contentions, much Discord, and in all probability may cause Wars, Bloodshed, and commotions of Armes in many places of Europe, as Spain, Morocco, Mesina, Toledo, Mutina, for Mars in Sagitarius applies to the square of Saturn, which denotes many Thefts, Murders, Rapines, Robbe∣rys, and Cozening and Cheating of one another, those also that are intrusted with Moneys or Goods of any ones, shall be False & Deceitful, and the People generally shall be driven to want, and be perplexed with Taxations and Tributes, and those in perticular under the sign Virgo and Sagitarius, Mars may well signifie the male contented Souldier, and Saturn the melancholly Country-man. And in many Countrys there will be much Heart-burning between the Martialist and the plain Country-man, with much Fraud, Lying, Deceit, Jug∣gling, and strange Controversies may arise, with high Contentions and much Discord, with sharp Conflicts, managed by different Judgements or Opinions, and my reason is this, Venus and Mercury are in conjunction in the house of Jupiter, and are applying to square of Mars in Sagitarius, and likewise to the opposition of Saturn, who is in the dignities of Mer∣cury Lord of the 9th: Besides Jupiter and Venus are in reception by house, Jupiter being a significator of Religion, but much of this evil will be abated, for the Sun applys to a trine of Mars, the Sun being in part Lord of the 10: Therefore I judge some wise Prince will labour to take up the matter.

IN the next place I shall proceed to the consideration of the Summer Quarter, which be∣gins June the 10th, 10 hours, 43 minutes past noon, as will be made appear by the cal∣culation at large.

☽ △ ♀ △ ☿ ad △ ☉ & □ ♂ ☿ ad ☌ ♀ & ♀ ad ☌ ☉, Lat. 51. 32. Londini, 1685.

In this figure the angles are partly fixed and partly moveable, and the Planets all indiffe∣rent well seated Mars excepted; who is posited in the 9th retrograd which shews many ••igh disputes still concerning Religion, both at home and abroad; besides many losses to the ge∣nerous & industrious Merchant, from several parts beyond the Sea, as Spain, Dalmatia, Hun∣gary, &c. Aquarius ascends, the Moon is posited therein, and in trine of Venus and Mercury who are in conjunction with the Dragons head, in Gemini, Londons Ascendant: The Moon is likewise hasting to a trine of the Sun, and Venus to his conjunction, besides Saturn, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon are in reception with each other. The Sun is likewise going to a sextile of Saturn, which in my opinion portends nothing but Peace and Tranquility to us, especially to London, the Motropolitan City of England, yet notwithstanding there will be strange kind of endeavours used to set us at varience amongst our selves, & that by a factious crew of Villains, who make it their business to disturb and oppose the Government, as doth appear by the figure, for no sooner then the Moon is parted from the trine of the Sun, but she meets with the square of Mars, who opposeth Gemini. But agunt non cogunt, the heavens incline, and not compel, therefore let us pray to God, to direct the hearts of all those which sit at the stern of Government, and let us sit down in peace and be contented with what God hath given us; for we injoy that which many Nations would be glad to see, for that tripple conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Leo, doth cause tranquilitys to us in England, when many other Nations do labour under its dire effects. Thus goes fortunes wheele about, while one is a getting up, another is going down, some are for one interest and some for another. Spain I pitty thy condition, for thou who wast formerly the mistress of the World, art now become Sick and Faint, and thy relief is weak; seek out for a ••ood Physician in time, for thy strength decays, and hath done ever since the year 1683. a time fresh in memory, &c. Here are several mysteries in this figure, if I durst unfold them; but for sear of giving an offence I shall pass them by, and give you an account of what diseases are most likely to happen this Quarter, &c.

Thus rhe Moon is lady of the six, and posited in the ascendant in Aquary, which foreshews Surfeits, Rheume in the Eyes, Worms, Rotten Coughs, Convu••••ion, Dropsies in the Legs, Measles, and many more cold watery Humours, which hath infected the Blood, and in all probability the Small-Pox, because the Moon applies to a square of Mars in Sagitarius; hold, I had almost forgot Jupiter in Libra, who is lord of the 10th, 11th, & Intercepted sign in the ascendant, which shews great love & unity between the Superiours & Commons of this land, yet still complaint for the want of trade & monys and that not only by the common People, but by those of the highest Degree and Quality, as may be seen by Cauda in the 11: which in my opinion causeth great expence and loss of Estate, to those belonging to the Church or Church Livings, &c.

IN the next place I shall give you some small judgement upon the figure of the Suns ente∣rance into Libra, which commences this year September the 12th, 2 houres, 31 minutes past noon, as the following Calculation doth express, &c.

☽ ✶ ♄ ad □ ♀ ♃ ☿ & ✶ ☉, ☿ ☌ ♃ ♀ ad ☌ ♃ ☉ ad □ ♂, & ♀ ad ☌ ♀ lat. 51 32, Londi.

In this scheme of the Suns ingress into Libra, Saturn and Mars rules the first and tenth, and Venus and the Moon, the 4th and 7th: All the planets are above the Earth, and the Moon and Venus are in their own houses: Mars in his exaltation in the sign ascen∣ding, and Saturn lord thereof in Ʋirgo, in the 8th; in reception with his disposer; besides here are no less then three planets in conjunction in Libra, with part of fortune in the 9th, viz. Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury, and the Moon applying to a square of them all: This Position shews some high dispute concerning Religion, which now is in its Zenith of Power and Glory; and doth Flourish like a flourishing Bough, which never fadeth; and now, and not till now, our Land begins to Thrive and Prosper after many a hot dispute. And now the People begin to take delight in themselves, and Love and Obey their Superiours. It likewise shews great Profit and Advantage to the Industrious Merchant, from several parts beyond the Seas; and probable the arrival of some Embassodour from forreign parts, or at leastwise great news from the remote parts, &c. Besides the people should thrive, by re∣moveing from on Place or House to another; and men should love and delight in the Law both of God and Man, Moral and Divine; and should esteem of all good learning, and strive to be vertuous, they should likewise be desirous of each others Society, and delight in all honest and good Learning, and apply their minds to find out hidden Secrets and Myste∣ries, and should perform mony long Journeys with safety and pleasure, &c. This position doth likewise shew a healthfull Air, with great profit by small Cattle, and Servants, who will prove true and trusty to their Masters: Besides the Moon in the 7th, shews that ma∣ny Marriages should be performed this Quarter, and those very Eminent; and Men should be fortunate in Women, and Gain and Profit much by them: But the lord of the as∣cendant in the 8th, who is old Saturn; shews that many antient People shall make their exit out of the World this Quarter. And the square of the Sun to Mars who is lord of the 10th, doth shew the death of some great martial Person, who lives in great splendor, but cannot deny Death when he comes. For Sol is lord of the 8th, and is posited therein and in his fall: Therefore Mars lay by thy sword, and yeild to that Messenger, for it is appointed all men once must Die, &c.

And thus I proceed to the judgement of the Winter Quarter, which happens Decem. the 10th, 14 hours, 11 minutes past Noon, as it is explained by this following Calcula¦tion.

☽ △ ♀, ad ✶ ☉ & △ ♂, ☉ □ ♄ ☿ ✶ ♂, & □ ♄ ♀ ad □ ♃ ☿ ✶, Lat. 51. 3••. Londini,

The angles of this figure are all common, and all the Planets are Sub••errane, and Mer∣cury is lord of the two principle angles, viz, the Ascendant and Mid-heaven, and Jupiter is ruler of the north and west Angles. Saturn is unfortunately placed in the ascendant, and in square of the Sun and Mercury lord thereof, this gives ••ay for the conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter to spread its effects all over the universe, and besides here are many plotting counsells on foot, still contriveing how and which way they may bring their wicked designs to pass, for Mercury is lord of the ascendant, and the Sun of the 12th, and they are seperateting from the square of disaffected Saturn, who is naturally evil and corrupt, Self ended, Covetous, and Malitious, one who hath been an underground worker this many years, in contriveing damned Plots, to the ruin and subvertion of Nations: But since Mercury is in sextil to Mars, and hasts to a sextil of Jupiter, who is in strong reception with Mars by house, and because the Sun hasts to a trine of Mars & Jupiter, and Mars likewise is applying to a trine of Jupiter himself, & the Moon defluxing from a trine of Venus, & applying to a sextil of the Sun, and a trine of Mars, and asextil of Mercury. Therefore I judge that many will la∣bour to secure themselves and their friends too, as well the Martialist, as the Gown-man. Therefore look to it Preacher, stand fast Souldiers, since you are about to unite, and maintain your principals, and have at their seminaries by ghess, for Venus goes to a square of Jupi∣ter, and Mars to an opposition of Saturn, &c. The Moon is fortunate in the second, Therefore she promiseth that men shall gain and profit, and abound in riches, haveing plenty of all things, but Saturn in the ascendant who is lord of the 6th, denotes mischeif and trou∣bles to the people in their proper persons, also many strange infirmities and vexations, to those under the signs Virgo and Pisces, as you may read in Mr. Lillys Christian Astrology, page the 96 and 99, &c.

In the next place, I shall give you an account of the Lunations Ecclipsed this Year, as thus, once the Sun and twice the Moon, the first will be of the Moon, on the sixth day of June, at six at night Invisible, it falls in the last face of Sagitarius, it signifies a Plague, Consumption, and great evills to afflict mankind more then ordinary. The second will be an ecclipse of the Sun, on June the 21th at eight a clock at night, Invisible, it happens in the first face of Cancer, this signifies a disturbed Air, and strange kind of weather, it like∣wise enclines men to Arms, and to violate Nationall Leagues, Deceitfully under the species of Religion. The third and last is an ecclipse of the Moon, which falls on the 30th of Novem. at eleven at night, it will be Visible totall and centrall, it is celibrated in the second face of Gemini, London's ascendant, it stirs up Dissensions, Strifes, Seditions amongst those we call Priests, and all manner of Merchants and Mechanicks of every order, or a∣ny quality that is amongst them, deadly hatred, contempt of Laws, neglect of Piety and holy Dutys doth also follow, with much Piracy at sea, and Murders, many fruitless Treatys and many turbulent Petitions, presented by the people to their Superiours. All these things will happen to those places under the signs Gemini, Cancer, and Sagitarius, as Spain, Holland, Scotland, Hungary, Celtica, Thirronia, Narbon, Colonia, Granado, Burgun∣dy, Zeland, Venice, Genoa, York, Flanders, Brabant, Sardinia, Arminia, Bruges, Hasford, Montz; London thou mayst feel a little too, &c.

IN the next place I shall proceed to the consideration of the figure of the Suns ingress into Aries, which happens this year, march the 9th, 13 hours, 39 minutes past noon, as it doth appear by the calculation at large, &c.

March the 10th, 39 past 1 in the morni••g 1686, &c. ☽ ✶ ☉, □ ♀ & ad ☉ ♂ lat. 51 52,

In this figure of the Suns ingress into Ares, the Angles are moveable & common, Jupiter and Venus rules the first and tenth, and Mars & Mercury rules the fourth and seventh. The Moon seperates from a sextil of the Sun, and a square of Venus, and hasts to a square of Mars, who is posited in Taurus his detriment, the Moon signifies the common people in general, and Venus women both Noble and Ignoble, Mars souldiers, Jupiter divinity and law and in part the common people, being he is lord of the ascendant. No•• in regard the Moon is so much afflicted by the malevolent square of Mars, who applies to an opposi∣tion of Jupiter in the 11th retrograd, therefore I conceive much loss and damage to hap∣pen to Persons of Dignity and Renown, or such as are imployed in place of great trust, as well those belonging to the Clergy and Law, as the common People: And since these malevolent configurations are made from fixed signs. I judge these wicked designs hath been a long time a contriving, for like as a match doth lye and smother a long time before it cometh to the Train, even so the sparks of envy lye a long time in the hearts of evil and wicked Persons, before they break forth, &c. and besides this position threatens our greater sort of Cattle, with some kind of mortality, which may suppress and destroy many of them, &c. Mercury is lord of the 9th, and in sextil of Venus, and Mars hasts to a trine of Jupiter, and an opposition of Saturn, Mercury is poor and peregrine, yet nimble and full of Eloquence from him all ingenious and learned Persons were named. The Sun signifies Kings, Princes, and Magistrates, and he in opposition of disaffed Saturn in the 9th, who signifies Popes, Monks, Fryars, Jesuits, and all Jewish ceremonys; this shews some notable and high dispute, amongst the grandees of Europe; in and about Religion or Religious matters, and many of those belonging to the long Robe, found guilty of what is layed to their charge;

yet how fair & seemingly things seem to be carried on, for friendship and mutual agreement, and yet how many fraudulent designs are in agitation, near these times; Articles, Cove∣nants & Leagues, controverted in those Countrys, especially subject unto those signs Saturn and Mars are in, from hence no good can be expected, because both these planets are of Evil signification to mankind. Saturn denotes Scarcity, Poverty, Penury, Wants, and Mundene Impoverishments in the common Mans purse, as well as in his Superiours. likewise many great losses to the Generous and Industrious Merchants, occasioned by vi∣olent storms and tempests, and the retrogradation of Jupiter in the 11th, in that treacherous sign Scorpio, acquaints great Princes of much falseness in their allies, much treachery in ma∣ny of their pretended friends, Servants, Counsellours, Officers in command, both by Sea and Land, besides these positions signifie many needless consultations and debates, also contradictory Counsells and Disputes, whence little or nothing of good can be expected to the Publique, as will appear in a short time, for turbulent Spirits will shew themselves active to purpose, and that in Ireland, Sweedland, Polonia, Russia, Nants, Persia, Ba∣bylon, Hierusalem, Lyons, Paris, Basil, Greece, Creet, and Assiria. Venus is lady of the 10th, and she applies to the body of Mars in Taurus her own house, but before she comes to a partial conjunction, she becomes retrograd.

Then let none trust Fortune, but follow reason, For oftentimes we see in trust is Treason, For where the People Hate, and where the Prince Frown, What Might builds up Discention soon pulls down.

In the next place I shall consider what Diseases are most likely to happen this half Year, and so I shall conclude. Thus considering the Cusp of the 6th, to be an arial sign, and Mercury lord therof, posited in Pisces a watry sign, and Jupiter lord of the ascendant, being posited in a watry sign. Therefore I judge that the Diseases this half year, will proceed from Blood and Water, which may cause the Measles, Small-pox, Paines in the Head, with Weakness in the Leggs and Feet, Gonorrhea, with many violent distempers in the Veins, &c.

In the next place I shall proceed to the consideration of the Autumnal half year, com∣menceing septem. the 12th, 1686. 8 hours, 24 minutes past noon, as it doth appear by this following calculation at large, &c.

☽ △ ♀, ✶ ☉ ad ✶ ♄ & △ ♂, ♀ △ ♃ ☉ ad ☌ ♄, ☿ ad ☌ ☉ & ☌ ♄, & ♂ ad △ ♃, September the 12••h, 8 hours, 24 mi∣nutes past noon, 1686.

The Angles of this figure are partly fixed and partly common, and all the Planets subteranean, Mercury and Saturn rules the first and tenth, and the Sun and Jupiter the fou••th and seventh, the City sign ascends, let the figure be set by any tables extent, bold daring Mars is in square to the same, and he is lord of the 12th; what more mischievous Plots a contriving still against our Metropolitan City? Oh how uncertain and unstable the na∣tionall affairs of this World at present are? especially those either of active, or rich Princes, any person though of mean capacity, may perceive by the application of the Sun and Mercury to the body of Saturn, the actions and consultations of Princes will be very eminent and considerable this half year; which may cause some fude amongst them, and in all probability incite them to attempts of War; for Mars his sudden application to the sextil of Jupiter in Scorpio, shews some treacherous designs in counsells, which can in∣timate no less, and besides Mars applies to the body of Saturn, a notable con∣junction in earnest, it is of ill influence upon all Persons and Places concerned therein; as Austria, Livonia, Caspia, Thusia, Seres, Sundgavia, Bastrina, Delphinat, Alsatia, Sabandia, Lisbone, Cajetam, Spiers, Franckfoord, Lau∣dem, France, Germany, Burgundy, Denmark, Palestine, Polonia, Flo∣rence, Sweeden and England, By this position the winds should blow high, threatning many losses, some by Pyracy, others by Shipwracks, and the high wayes of our Nation pestered with Theeves, from which occasions, we here of strange Murthers, and unusual Robberys, out of houses, in houses in the western and northern Roads of England, with fearfull Divisions, and many Tumults, much Tergiversation in Counsells, much Treason, high rant∣ing Pamphlets, dispersing the seeds of Treason; inviting to the Murther of Magistrates, Plotting, and eminent Martial-men found guilty thereof, yet the state of England stands firm, and our Foundation rests firm unshaken, but have we our share in sad news or unwellcome Intelligence? Between this and the close of the Year, the Aust••ian Cedars shake, some Princes begin to de∣cline. Saturn is entered into Libra, he entred Libra too in 1657. at which time the Emperour of Germany departed this life, a sober Prince and of grear Majesty. Therefore I judge the affliction of Saturn this year 1686. doth foreshew that some Honourable Person of the Austrian Blood, may in the cir∣cuit of the year end his days, near upon that tract of land, or in that country where even he dyed, &c. The Moon is in sextil of the Sun, and adds to a sextil of Saturn, and Caput is near the cusp of the ascendant, and Mercury lord thereof applies to the body of Saturn, who receives him like a noble soul in his exal∣tation. Saturn is lord of the 10th, such significations as these shews great unity and love Between the Superiours and Commons of this Land, yet there is much repining amongst the common and vulgar sort of People, for such things

as are necessary for their supportment, for Mercury is retrograd and the Moon is near Cauda Draconis, and is hasting to an opposition of the degrees ascending, &c.

Now the next thing to be considered is what diseases are likely to happen this half year, as thus, Libra desending on the 6th, and Venus lady thereof posited in Leo, intimates diseases of Blood and Choller, and Jupiter in the 6th in Scor∣pio a watry sign, shews diseases of Blood and Flegme, and Saturn the Sun and Mercury in the sign of the 6th, shews diseases of Blood and Melancholly, thus all things being considered and well weighed in the ballance of reason, I judge that the diseases of this half year will be of compound humours, yet Blood will most abound, and that to be much corrupted and disordered, whence may arise many strange kind of Agues and Feavours, likewise Dropsies, Con∣sumption stoppage of Urine, weakness in the Reins, and afflictions in the Longs, whence many strange kind of Coughs proceed, &c.

In the next place I shall give you an account of the luminaries ecclipsed this year; and so I shall conclude, as thus, there is but one ecclipse only, and that is of the Moon, and it falls on the 19th of november, at eleven a clock at night, and is well worthy the observation of the Ingenious Sons of Urania, it hap∣pens in the first face of the Coelistial-Twinns, near Occulus Tauri, it begins in the 10th house, and ends in the 9th, Mercury and Jupiter besiege the Sun, and the ecclipsed Moon is opposed by them all, and that from as violent fixed Stars as she her self is near; which according to the Doctrine of the Antients, threaten∣eth Incursions and Rapines of Enemys, likewise the death of some Noble and Illu∣strious Woman, besides many solicitations of Private and Publique things, if not frequent motion of Armys in many places of Europe, &c.

So much for predictions upon the Annual revolutions of the Sun, and Ecclipses only.

In the next place I shall give you a word or two concerning that tripple Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, which happened 1682. and 1683. in that regal sign Leo, it being the great dignitys of the Sun and Jupiter, it was usher∣ed in by two new Stars which appeared in 1680. and 1682. just such a one as the first was seen before our Saviours Birth, at which time there was a great conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Pisces, as it doth appear by the Rudolphin Tables: it was in Caesar Augustus his Reign, in whose time the Sybillians were very expert in the knowledge of this Noble and Heavenly Science; for one Sybillia Triburtina told the Emperour,

that it pointed out a Child born of a Virgin, which should be greater then he, therefore she exhorted him to wor∣ship him, &c.

Histories, Ancient Writers, and Common Experience in former Ages testifi∣eth unto us, that these Signs in the Heaven, as appearance of Comets and Meetings of the Superiour Stars are the assured fore-runners of the sterility of the Earth, Pesti∣lence, Famine, War, alterations of Kingdoms, States and Empires, Laws and Customs, Winds, Earthquakes, Inundations, extream Heat and Drought, grie∣vous Diseases and Infirmities, and such like horrid Evils, likewise Anxiety and Trouble, Treasons, Treacheries, and the Death of Kings, Nobles, Princes, Em∣perours and Powers; who knows but that these unusual Apparitions and Meetings of the Superiour Stars may be the fore-runners of the Catastrophe of Rome, for it can pretend nothing but Tranquility to us in England, since it is in Trine to Aries our Ascendant; yet violent and raging Diseases must certainly be expected, from which I pray Good Lord deliver us, &c.

The Configurations of those Glorious Celestial Bodies, are like Seeds scattered in the vast Field of Time; and if so, 'tis a wonder if some of them do not appear and grow up to Maturity; for most Men do know, and will readily acknowledge, Superiours do influence and govern Inferiours; and there is an appointed time and sea∣son for every thing under the Sun: Nay, it were Ridiculous for us to think that the Load-stone should have so much affinity with the Iron, and the Stars of Heaven should have no affinity with their fellow Nature below; for even as the Iron receives the Virtue of the Load-stone, so doth our Bodies receive the Good and Evil Influ∣ence of those Celestial and Heavenly Messengers: Therefore I conceive the genu∣ine sense of this present Conjunction is, That Mens Intentions and Actions will gene∣rally and wholly incline to settle or unsettle the Laws and Constitutions, Cu∣stoms and Priviledges of Nations; for the Conjunctional Returns of the Superi∣our Planets into the Fiery Trigon, have always been attended with many notable and memorable Changes both in Church and State, and very great Actions and Alterations in Kingdoms and Countries, almost Universally all over the World: The first Restitution of this Trigon, after the Creation of the World, was in the days of Enoch, who walked with God, and lived 365 years, for which space of time was the Church of God preserved: The second at the Universal Deluge, at which time the whole World was destroyed. Then Noah was a Preserver of the Church of God in the Ark: The third in the time of Moses, and the Children of Israel, at which time the People of God were delivered from the Egyptian Slavery: The fourth in the Monarchy of the Medes and Solomon's Glory, who builded a Temple for the People of God: The fifth in our Blessed Saviours time, and the Roman Empire, Caesar Augustus, in whose Days and Reign our Saviour Christ was born, who came upon the Earth to Redeem Man∣kind: The sixth Return was in the time of Charles the Great, who caused a flou∣rishing state of the Church of God: And now this seventh Return into the Fiery Trigon, which is a Sabattical Return, hath a most singular Mystery in it, and pro∣miseth something of more signal moment to the World, than other Conjunctions do, &c.

The Signs afflicted by the Infortunes in this Conjunction are Leo, Virgo, and Libra, the opposite Sign to the Conjunction is Aquarius, and those Signs in square are Taurus and Scorpio: The Sign of the Conjunction designeth Rome, Italy, Sicily, Bohemia, Turky, Togata, Apalie, Emilia, Sabina, Phenicia, Chaldea, Orchinia, Dalmatia, Syracusa, Rouvenna, Cremona, Confluant, Prague, Liniz, Crinifium,

wherein shall be much Dissolation, Famine, Tumults, and Uproars, &c. this Con∣junction will afford much Distraction, Discontent, Sorrow, Commotions of Armies, Wars, Blood-shed, and Pennury to many more Nations and Cities, which are un∣der the opposite Sign Aquarius, as Amazonia, Sarmatia, Tartary, Valachia, Mus∣covia, Sweedeland, Westphalia, Mosellpiomont, Bavaria, Ethiopia, Oxiana, Sogdiana, Media, Arabia the Desart Hamburrough, Breme, Mountserat, Pisarum, Trent, Sa∣lizburgh, Ingolstade, &c. Norway under the Danish Government must be sensi∣ble of this great Conjunction too, for it is Subject to the Sign Scorpio. Flanders, I pitty thee, and that Honourable House of Austria, for in time you will want both Friends and Support, for the Conjunction Influence designs a greater blow than thou hast had already: here are many more Kingdoms, Cities, and Corporations which must look to feel the dire effects of this Conjunction, as Russia, Polonia, Lorrain, Campaine, Helvetia, Rhetia, Franconia, Parthia, Persia, Ireland, Cyclades, Towns of Asia; Bononia, Sona, Mantua, Taurentum, Panorma in Sicily, Peruvium, Caput, Histriae, Brixi, Zurich, Lucerna, Nants, Herbibolis, Carastade, Posuania, Leipsig, Genasa, Novograde, Melagony, Comagena, Cappadocia, Algiers, Valentiani, Spain, Forum, Pestorium, Taruisum, Julium, Fess, Gethulia, Catalonia, all these places are threatned with strange kind of Alterations in their Government, perhaps Wars, Famine, Dissolution, Plague, Pestilence, Mutinies, Commotions of Armies, Plots, Treasons, Treacheries, Massacres, Rebellion, and such like horrid Evils; for Armies shall run like Lightning over a great man, Countries of Europe, and will af∣flict Christendom with the Sword more than ordinary; nay, they will bring more under subjection within the space of ten years, than any Armies have done for twice ten years last past; there will be many and unexpected Slaughters, Im∣prisonments, Banishments, Captivities; great Slaughters and Dammages amongst the Navies at Sea also, &c. London, I should not forget thee too, for I am affraid that thou wilt suffer some kind of Catastrophe e're long, from which I pray God deliver thee, for it hath been observed that the Planet Saturn never passes through the Sign Leo, but he by his Evil Influence leaves some considerable Impressi∣on upon the City of London; but what this Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Leo may produce, let us patiently wait to see the event; for Sickness I dread, and those most dangerous, from which let us pray, Libera nos Domine, Good Lord deliver us, for in 1625 Saturn was in Leo, at which time a great Plague began in London, which caused the Parliament to remove to Oxford; and truly I do fear another great Plague in London, e're Saturn hath pass'd the Sign Leo, 1683, and this the more, because Mars was in Conjunction with Jupiter on the 8th of September, in Leo, and on the 12th day of the said Month Mars was in Conjunction with Saturn, in Leo, and on the 9th of October, and 30th of January, Saturn and Jupiter were in Conjunction in Leo, and in May, 1683, they make their last Conjunction in Leo, near the Degree of the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars the September before; all these things be∣ing considered, makes me conjecture that we shall have another Plague e're 84, which God divert.

But in case we should escape a Plague this year, and the year 84, then will Eng∣land be the most happy Nation under the Sun, &c.

The next thing I have to deliver to the World, is by what manner of means every Nation, City, and People is like to suffer under this Conjunction.

But since it is impossible to get the true time of any Conjunction of the two Supe∣riours,

viz. Saturn and Jupiter: Therefore I shall deliver my Judgment according to the best of my Reason.

As thus, Suppose we place Aries upon the Ascendant, then will this Conjucti∣on fall in the Fifth House, which is opposite to the Eleventh, and in square to the Se∣cond and Eighth. Aries is the Ascendant of England, France, Germany, Polonia, Bur∣gundy, Denmark, &c.

Now the Second House represents the substance of the Common People, as Houshold-stuff, Moneys, Plate, Jewels, Corn, and is the proper Personal Estate of any Man: it also signifies the Countries, or Common-wealths Magazine, or Am∣munition; it likewise represents their Allies and Supports, or whatsoever is Assi∣stant to them: Now, in regard this Conjunction falls in square to the Second House, therefore I Judge there will be a great decay in Trade, as Buying and Sel∣ling, and but little appearance of increasing Estates, but sudden undoing and im∣poverishment of many a Man, as well the Yeoman, and hard labouring Farmer, as the Curious Industrious Mechanick; nay, I cannot perceive but that the whole Commonalty is threatned with much deceit in their Allies and Supports, whereby they may want both Ammunition and Moneys to maintain their Principles, and that in France, Germany, Polonia, &c. Now since the Eighth House is opposite to the Second, and doth represent the Inheritance of the Dead, and the Death of Mankind in general, and is the House of Sadness, and doth also denote the Estates and Fortunes of our publick Enemies; and because this Conjunction falls in square to the same, therefore I predict according to Natural Causes, that many violent and sudden Deaths will happen to the common sort of People, and that from as violent and raging Diseases; and besides it denotes, that the Estates and Inheritances of ma∣ny a Man shall be violently wrested from them by those which have Power and bear Rule over them, &c.

The Fifth House denotes Messengers or Agents for Republique Embassadours, likewise Playing, Gaming, Drinking, Revelling, Joy, Pleasures, Gifts; it also signifies Children, and Women with Child, &c.

Now in regard this Conjunction is made in the Fifth House, therefore I judge much Dammage to happen to the People, through their Agents, Messengers, or Embassadours, and all such things signified by the Fifth House, as Drinking and Revelling, which may cause Surfeits, and the like; for Saturn Corrupts the Blood by Melancholy, and Mars by Choler; it also denotes many Abortions and strange kind of Monstrous Births, with much Trouble and Affliction to Children and Wo∣men with Child, &c.

Now because the Fifth House is in Opposition to the Eleventh; it signifying the Associates, Counsellors, Allies, Treasure, Ammunition, Soldiery, and indeed all that is assistant to those in Power, from which we may Conjecture that the Princes of the Earth should grow very Ambitious, and shall waste their Estates by War, and not only so, but be Cheated by their Allies, Counsellours, Souldiery, Servants, and Favourites, &c.

Again, suppose we place Taurus upon the Ascendant, then will the Conjunction happen in the Fourth House, which is in opposition to the Tenth, and in square to the First and Seventh; Taurus is the Ascendant of Russia, Swedeland, Lorrain, ••••••••••onia, Persia, Ireland, &c.

〈◊〉〈◊〉 by Consequence these places must be threatned with Plague, Pestilence,

Famine and Wars, also much trouble and vexation in their Government; if the Tenth House represents all those in Authority, viz. Kings, Princes, Magistrates, Governours of Towns, Forts, Cities, Corporations, viz. Captains, Majors, Co∣lonels, Bayliffs, Justices of the Peace, all these shall find great troubles and vex∣ations in their Government, Offices and Places of Trust, it is probable some of them may exercise Tyranny upon those they bear Rule over, by which means they may cause their Subjects to take up Arms against them, and that in Russia, Polonia, the great, Swedeland, Parthia, Helvetia, Ireland, &c.

The Ascendant signifies the state of the Common People, and how it shall go with them, well or ill, &c.

The Seventh House signifies Women, War, Contention, Publick Enemies, &c.

Now, because both these Houses are squared by this Conjunction, therefore I judge much publick Sorrow and Affliction to happen to the People in general belong∣ing to all those places under Taurus, it may be both Plague and Famine, since this Conjunction is made in their Fourth House; for Saturn, as to Natural things, por∣tends great want and scarcity, destruction of Cattle, Corn, Fruits, unwholesome Airs, Cold, Cloudy, Foggy, Dark, Misty Weather, Famine and Mortality, and also tedious Frosts, with long Winters; he also threatens many with long and tedious Infirmities and Diseases, as Quartan Agues, Consumption in the Reins, ill and noisome Vapours; from whence proceeds Plagues, Hectick Feavers, and the like, &c.

But if we place Gemini on the Ascendant, then will this Conjunction be in the Third House, which opposeth the Ninth, and squares the Sixth and Twelfth: Then must all those places under Gemini suffer much for Religions sake, and shall have long and dangerous Navigations; small success in their Inland Journeys, little Love and Unity between Neighbours and Relations, also loss of Cattle, both great and small, ill Servants, long Imprisonments; much whispering amongst a parcel of malicious Rascals, who seek private Revenges, &c.

Now if we make Cancer ascending, then shall this Conjunction be made in the Second House, which is in square to the Fifth and Eleventh, and in opposition to the Eighth; then must all those places under Cancer, to wit, Scotland, Holland, Granada, Burgundy, Zeland, &c. suffer loss of Life and Fortune, their own Friends shall prove deceitful to them; yea, their neighbour Nations will prove unfaithful to them, as well as their own Embassadours, Messengers, Agents, and Trustees, &c.

But if we place Leo upon the Ascendant, then shall this Conjunction fall therein, the Ascendant opposeth the Seventh, and looks a squint upon the Tenth and Fourth: Rome is under Leo, so is Italy, Gallia, Cicily, Aphalia, Bohemia, Turky, &c. most of these places will suffer Devastation, if not a Final Catastrophe; their Princes shall be brought very low, and that through their own Pride and Ambition; they will also suffer both Fire, Plague, Pestilence, Wars and Famine, &c.

Now suppose we place Virgo upon the Ascendant, then will the Conjunction hap∣pen in the Twelfth, which is opposite to the Sixth, and in square to the Third and Ninth. The Twelfth House is the House of Enmity: What shall any of those Countries be invaded by the means of some private Enemies? Yea, whilst they are a quarrelling at home about Religion, some other Nation will steal on them una∣wares; they shall likewise have many great Sea Fights, and receive great loss and dammage thereby: Virgo designs the Dukedom of Athens, Mesopotamia, Babylon,

Achaia, Greece, Creet, Carinthia, Arthefina, Assyria, Gallia, Comata, Rhone, Croatia, Silesia, &c. These Countries will also have great destruction amongst their Cattle, to wit, both great and small, &c.

But if we place Libra on the Ascendant, then will the Conjunction be in the E∣leventh House; the Eleventh House is in square to the Second and Eighth, and op∣poseth the Fifth; Libra is the Ascendant of Austria, Alsatia, Livonia, Sabaudia, &c. These places are like to suffer through the unfaithfulness of their Friends, Servants, Favourites, Councils, Agents, Messengers, and Embassadours; also want of Pro∣vision, both of Men, Moneys, and Ammunition, and all such things which are neces∣sary for their Supportment; they are also threatned with great slaughter of a number of Men, as well by the Sword, as by violent and raging Diseases, &c.

Thus you see if we place the Signs upon the Ascendent by Succession, we shall find by what means every Nation, Kingdom, City, and People, is like to suffer under the Influence of this Conjunction, &c.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1683.

IN this year of 1683, we have no less than 3 Eclipses of the Sun and Moon in Leo and Aquarius,* 1.2 besides 2 Conjunctions of the Superiours, Saturn and Jupiter, who meet with many Oppositions of the lesser Planets, be∣fore the time of their second Conjunction on January the 30th, which doth declare the unsettled Condition of the Vulgar and Common People, and that they dread some great Troubles or Calamity too near approaching; but whethether it be Plague, Pestilence, Wars, or Famine, I shall give swift winged Time leave to discover the truth thereof: In the beginning of May Saturn and Jupiter make their last Conjunction in that Regal Sign Leo, but some few days before they meet with a square of the Sun from Taurus, therefore whatever Great Person of Europe hath Leo ascending at his Birth, shall suffer Troubles with loss of Honour; nay, Kings and Princes shall also find many troubles and vex∣ations in their Government, and Governours of Towns, Forts and Cities shall re∣ceive much Loss and Dammage, and in all probability many of them may be called to an account by their Superiours, and those in particular which abode in those places under Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius, as Rome, Alsatia, Spain, Hungary, Au∣stria, Dalmatia, Macedonia, Greece, Gaunt, Flanders, Brandenburgh, Muscovia, Albania, these places are also threatned with Fires, Wars, Famine, Plague, Pesti∣lence, Rebellion, or such like Calamities, &c. Oxford, Holland, Hungary, and the Turk himself is much herein concerned; and besides, Italy mones, and Spain doth cry, and London fears the Pestilence, from which, I pray Good Lord deliver us this

year, and for ever more, faxit Deus, Amen, &c. Mars his long Trancite through the Sign Libra, doth now threaten the Noble Austrian Family with many Afflictions, for the Princes of Germany will be unfaithful to him, which may cause the Death of many of the Inhabitants: those places which are under Aries will be great Sufferers too, as Burgundy, Denmark, France, Germany, Polonia, England; if I am not mistaken in my Judgment, we shall hear of some Destruction amongst the Natives in France, and that some kind of Massacre, if not timely prevented; But blessed are those which dye in the Lord, for they rest from their Labour. Oh the Condi∣tion of the common People! they shall suffer many Troubles and Calamities in that Country, yea, in the very middle thereof, but before they will indure it long they will join together and cause a Rebellion, then wo to those which blowed the Fire of Destruction, for they are taken in the Flame themselves, &c.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1684.

* 1.3HEre is an Opposition of Saturn and Mars on January the 3d, from Virgo and Pisces; and there is also a notable Conjunction of those two Malefacts on the 3d of October, in 13 Degrees of Virgo, and is in square to the Conjunctions of Saturn and Jupiter, 1603, and 1663, therefore whatever Prince of Europe hath about 13 Degrees of Virgo ascending at his Birth must yield to pale Death this year, for he will not be denied by the Princes of the Earth, when their time is come. The King of France will go near to have his Honour Eclipsed this year, for this Conjunction happens in the Mid-Hea∣ven of his Nativity; this Conjunction likewise threatens Babylon, Assyria, Gallia, Ca∣rinthia, the Dukedome of Athens, Mesopotamia, Hirusalem, Achaia, Greece, Creet, Lyons, Paris and Basil with Mutinies, Tumults, Wars, Commotions of Armies, Treacheries, and strange Rebellion: Spain I pity thy condition, for thou art like to have great losses, both by Sea and Land; and besides in many more Countries there will be great slaughter of Men where there is frequent motions of Armies, especial∣ly in France; for I fear some kind of Bloody Massacre there, amongst the poor Na∣tives, &c. There is no less than four Eclipses this year, and three of them visible; they fall in Cancer and Capricorn. Now the Ancients tell us that Eclipses in Capricorn, are the Fore-runners of the sterility of the Earth, and the Tumultuary motions of Princes, and that in those places under the Sign Capricorn; it likewise signifies, that some Great and Eminent Person shall depart this Life in a terrible and deplorable Con∣dition, and that Men shall be given to slander and betray one another; and those E∣clipses in Cancer excite mens minds to quarrel and new attempts of War, with Trea∣chery and Sedition; also thundring noises and uproars in and about Religion, they also threaten the Small Pox, Consumption, Dropsies, with violent pains in the Stomach, and that to those persons and places subject to the Signs Cancer and Ca∣pricorn, &c.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1685.

NOw the late Conjuction of Saturn and Mars be∣gins to opperate to purpose;* 1.4 therefore the King of France, if he be alive, may expect to be driven from his own Confines or abode, and that by his own Subjects, if not, it is probable he may come to some sudden and unexpected Destruction, either by Poison, or by some other means equivolent, &c. Here is no less than 3 Eclipses this year, between those glorious Lamps of Heaven, that is one of the Sun, and two of the Moon: The first is a Lunar Eclipse, and falls in Sagitarius; therefore Hungary, Morovia, Dalmatia, Sclavonia and Spain seek out for a good Physitian, for you are threatned with a Plague, or some other violent Di∣stempers equivolent; the two last Eclipses are made in Gemini and Cancer; the Se∣cond which is of the Sun in Cancer, is of no great signification, since it is invisible and very small; yet Men will be apt to Cheat and Cozen one another, and that under the pretence and species of Religion; besides this Eclipse may cause various Winds and alterations of Weather, whereby the Air will be much troubled, and that in Burgundy, Holland, Scotland, Granado, Africa, Constantinople, Tunis, Venice, and Genoa; but the Third and last Eclipse of the Moon in Gemini is of more eminent sig∣nification to those places under the sign of the Eclipse, and I fear they will feel its dire effects; the Eclipse it self is made in the Mid-Heaven, and Virgo ascends, as may be seen by this following Figure, &c.

[illustration]

November the 30th, 1685, 11 hours P. M. ☽ Eclipsed visible and total, Lat. 51 degr. 3½, Londini.

Mercury rules both the Houses, and he is in his detriment with Cauda, and Com∣bust of the Sun; now if the Tenth House doth represent all those in Authority, whether they be Kings, Princes, or Magistrates, then they must expect to find some sudden noises or motions of Arms within the bounds of their Government, and particular in those places under the Signs Gemini and Virgo where Armies are, yet there will be a quick dispatch made of those differences, and the Land of Vir∣go will go near to have it; Saturn beholds Mercury, the Sun, and place of the Eclipse by an envious Quadrat, and Mercury himself, who is Lord of the Eclipse, beholds the defect by an Opposition, which seems unto me, as if all places under the Signs Virgo and Pisces, Gemini and Sagitarius were in Election to be up in Arms against a great and potent Enemy. Now those places under the Signs nominated are Portu∣gal, Normandy in France, Hungary, Spain, Dalmatia, Moravia, Coratia, Babylon, Scla••••onia, Sardinia, Sweedland, Brabant, Lumbardy, England, Wertenburgh that Dukedom, Hircania, Armenia, Celtica, and the Dukedome of Athens, &c. Swede∣land about this time is inclinable to peace, and I think it the best of their play, for if they slip such an opportunity, as they are likely to have, they will repent it when 'tis too late: The Austrian Family suffers detriment through and by the means of the Hungarians. The Muscovites seem to be in a good prosperous Condition, but the Tartar threatens Europe either with Fire or Sword, or both: They aim, but they miss their mark, &c.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1686.

* 1.5THis year begins with an Opposition of Saturn and Mars, from Virgo and Pisces; and about October the 23d, those two Malefacts meet in Conjunction in Libra: Now let those Jesuitical Tribe of Priests, and Conclave of Cardinals look to it, for they shall dearly pay for their Treacherous Villanous actions; for their Monasteries shall be dissolved, and they themselves de∣stroyed, or else taken Captives: The Noble Austrian Family is also in much danger of falling into the Hands of a strong and potent Enemy, therefore is threatned with Devastation; neither doth it go well with Holland, Scotlaad, Livonia, Delphinate, Al∣satia, Bastrina, Oesim, Thusia, Seres, Thebaida, Lisbone, Cajetam, Laudam, Spiers, and Frankford, for Holland is threatned with many losses, and Scotland will not be much be∣hind hand, but Austria, Alsatia, Livonia, and several more places in Germany are threat∣ned with Fire and Sword, and such like Calamities: The French are also a little fearful, and that not without just cause; for they cannot promise themselves Security, &c. In this year we have only one Eclipse, and that of the Moon, it falls in the first Face of Gemini, on the 19th day of November, at eleven of the Clock at Night, to which time I have Erected this following Scheme.

[illustration]

☽ Eclipsed November the 19th, 1686, at 11 hours P. M. die ♀ Lat. 51 degr. 3½, Londini.

This Eclipse begins in the Tenth House, and ends in the Ninth Angle; the Sun's besieged between the Bodies of Jupiter and Mercury, and all three oppose the Eclip∣sed Moon, and that from as violent fixed Stars as she her self is near, for she is with oculus Tauri, and they with Cor Scorpi and Caput Herculis; Mercury is Lord of the Ascendant, and in part Ruler of the Mid-heaven: Jupiter is Lord of the 7th, and in part Ruler of the Fourth, strong in his own House, and in Quartile to the Degree ascending: London thou art much concerned in this Eclipse, let thy Magistrates therefore look to it, and see that they do nothing of Injustice, for if they do they must expect to pay for their folly; for the the Common People will expect to have Justice done them; therefore those which act to the contrary, may Repent when it is too late, &c. Mercury, Lord of thy Ascendant being Combust, and in his Detriment, shews that thou should have but bad Trading this year, but if thou dost but consider the Condition of many more Countries and Places in Europe, thou wouldst think thy self happy, since thy Foundation stands firm and unshaken, when others are invaded, and that by a cloak and shew of Friendship, &c. London thou must expect to have many Embassadours this year 1686, to the Governour of thy Kingdom, for Saturn Lord of the Fifth in this Figure, is in Sextile to Mercury, Lord of the Ascendant and place Eclipsed, and is likewise in Sextile to Jupiter and the Sun, and in Trine to the Eclipsed Moon in thy Ascendent: This Eclipse also denotes In∣cursions of Armies into those Countries and Places under Gemini, Virgo, Sagitarius, and Pisces, as Flanders, Brabant, Sardinia, Lumbardy, Marmarica, Martiania, Spain, Dalmatia, Sclavonia, Hungary, Moravia, Misnia, Achaia, Greece, Creet, Croatia, Carinthia, Mesopotamia, Babylon, Normandy, Galatia, Portugal, Cicilia, and many more places which you may read of in Mr. Coley's Clavis of Astrology, page 91, 92, 93, &c. Many of these places is also threatned with Fa∣mine and great Mortalities, as will plainly appear before the Sun hath gone another

Revolution; and to conclude, about the 23d day of December, there happens a Sextile between Saturn and Jupiter, from Libra and Sagitarius, both in their own es∣sential Dignities, which shews a strong inclination amongst the Princes of Europe, for a Confirmation of Peace and Unity in many Places and Countries; but by reason Saturn has lately passed the place of his Conjunction with Mars, therefore I fear it will be hardly accomplished as yet in all places, although it will in some: The Sun never shines always in one place, &c.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1687.

* 1.6ON the 16 day of February here is a Conjunction with Mars and Jupiter in Sagitarius, and in the Figure of the Sun's Revolution, March the 9th, about 20 Hours post Meridian, Mars and Saturn applies to a square of each other, and that from their own Exal∣tations; and besides Saturn receives no less than three Oppositions, and those by Venus, Mercury, and the Sun, and Mars two Quartils by Mercury and the Sun, and all from Aries; such Positions as these do afflict all those places subject to the Signs Aries, Libra, and Capricorn, with Wars and Commoti∣ons of Armies: The Subjects in many places will be apt to Rebel against their Supe∣riours, and that in France, if I mistake not; which if they do, the Romish Party will come off by the lee, for their Universal destruction is drawing on, and then they will repent their being so cruel and barbarous to those innocent and harmless Pro∣testants: Saturn in Libra, squared by Mars, shews the Sword still to be in action in ma∣ny places under the Sign Libra, as Caspia, Alsatia, Bastrina, Thebaida, Livonia, Sabandia, Austria, Antwerp, Delphinat, Oesim, Trogloditica, Lisbone, Friburgh, Franckford, and those under Capricorn must look to feel a little too, e're Mars pass through that Sign, &c.

In this year we have but two Eclipses, and those both of the Sun, the one in Tau∣rus, and the other in Scorpio: The First falls on May the first, about a quarter of an hour after Noon, to which time I have erected this following Scheme.

[illustration]

☉ Eclipsed May the 1st, 1687, 1⅕, P. M. Latitud. 51 degr. 3½, Londini, &c.

Now in regard the Eclipsed Sun is Lord of the Twelfth, therefore I judge it to be the fore-runner both of Plague, Pestilence and Famine, mortalitly in and amongst Oxen, Bulls, Cows, and Horses, and that in Russia, Polonia, Swedeland, Lorrain, Campania, Helvetia, Rhetia, Franconia, Parthia, Persia, Ireland, Cyclades, the Islands Cyprus, the Sea Towns of Asia the less, Bononia, Sona, Mantua, Tarentum, &c. for Taurus is an Earthy Sign, and represents all such kind of Cattle: The Second Eclipse is of the Sun also, and falls in that Treacherous Sign Scorpio, which shews some sudden mischief will fall upon some King, whose mind is averse to War; and if the King of France be now living, tell him, I give him warning to pro∣vide for a change, for the thread of his Life hath spun out its full length: For this last Eclipse of the Sun in Scorpio, who was giver of life at his Birth, falls upon the very Degree of his Horroscope, &c. I judg also that this Eclipse will cause War∣like Tumults, Murthers, Treasons, Treacheries, Plots, Dissentions, Captivities, and all under-hand practices, and my Reason is this, because it is made in the ascending part of Heaven, and that particular to those Persons under Taurus, Scorpio, Leo and Aquarius.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1688.

* 1.7THis year begins with an Opposition of Saturn and Mars, from Aries and Libra; and on the 11th day of March following Saturn and Jupiter make their first square Aspect from Libra and Capricorn, and the second Quadrat of Saturn and Jupiter falls from Libra and Capricorn: There is likewise a notable Conjuncti∣on of Saturn and Mars, on the 7th day of December, in that treacherous Sign Scorpio; and we have no less than four Eclipses of the Luminaries this year, viz. Two of the Sun, and two of the Moon, but none vi∣sible, only the last defect of the Sun in Scorpio, and that falls in the very same Degree of the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars, which happens on the 7th day of November following; from all these Configurations we may rationally judg, that Italy, with that noble House of Austria, are great sufferers; for Italy mourns to think of the troubles she hath and is to undergo: The noble Austrians are much af∣flicted by the Position of Saturn in Libra: Oh shall that Prince be always troubled and perplexed by the Jesuitical Tribe, who would lead him to his own Destruction, just as a Sheep is led to the Slaughter? No, no, here is an Eclipse of the Sun in Scorpio, and presently after a Conjunction between the two Malefacts, viz. Saturn and Mars in the very Degree thereof, therefore look to it TOM Jesuit, for as thou hast dug a Pit for another, thou must even look to fall into it thy self, for Mars is Lord of the Ascendant, and the Eclipse it self is made therein; therefore we can expect nothing but Wars and Tumults, Treacheries, Mutanies, Massacres, Rebellion, and that I fear in Ireland. The Turk will also be much afflicted with fo∣reign losses; nay, not only so, but he shall suffer many broyls at home, and the Pope himself must look about him, for Mars is clearly for nothing but down-right blows, whereby he knocks all former Treaties on the Head, causing Hatred, Plots, Cap∣tivities, Slaughters, Treacheries, whereby nothing but confusion follows, and that in Norway, Bavaria, Metagony, Cappadocia, Fess, Catalonia, Togata, Gallia, Bohe∣mia, Italy, Turky, Swedeland, Polonia, Russia, Ireland, Rome, and all places under Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, and Aquarius, must look to suffer and feel the dire effects of this Eclipse, besides there are many places that are like to suffer by the former, for an Eclipse of the Moon in the last Face of Libra, is the fore-runner of the Death of some Noble and Illustrious Men under the Sign of the Eclipse, also those Eclipses of the Sun and Moon in the second Faces of Taurus and Aries, do prenote, innumera∣ble Difficulties, and many Discommodities to Travellers, and to such as bear Children many Abortions, and Births not natural, or Monsters are produced, likewise Pesti∣lence, and Fatality in most Diseases, few fall sick that escape, and that in those places under the Signs wherein the Eclipses happen, &c.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1689.

ON the 4th day of January Saturn and Jupiter make their last square from Scorpio and Aquarius,* 1.8 and here is likewise an Opposition between Saturn and Mars, from Taurus and Scorpio: On the 22d day of September we have likewise a Trine of Saturn and Jupiter; on Ju∣ly, the 7th, from Libra and Aquarius, we have also two Eclipses of the Moon, the one in Aries, and the other in Libra, therefore were it not for the square of Saturn and Jupiter, and the oppo∣sition of Saturn and Mars, we might expect to see a mitigation of sorrow, nay, probable an end of our troubles in this World; for the Eclipse of the Moon, in the second Face of Libra denotes a rot amongst petty Foggers, Informers, Catchpoles, Trepanners, and such like Cattle, for they shall all suffer for their former Rogue∣ry, for the Sun in Aries promiseth many particular blessings to the Land of England, but the opposition of Saturn and Mars from Taurus and Scorpio threatens great Affli∣ctions to Ireland, Swedeland, and Norway Russia, and Polonia; and all those Coun∣tries under Taurus and Scorpio are much herein concerned, for Hamburgh and Den∣mark are fearful, Wars in Swedeland and Norway, uproars in Ireland, and the Algiers Ships taken and destroyed, and their men made Captives: Now Austria, Alsatia, Livo∣nia, and Sabaudia, begin to repent their former losses, &c.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1690.

IN this present year 1690,* 1.9 we have no less than four Eclipses of the Luminaries, besides a Trine of Sa∣turn and Jupiter, in Scorpio and Pisces, and also a nota∣ble Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in Scorpio, from which Configurations we may rationally predict an uni∣versal change, for all Europe is up in Arms: Oh Ita∣ly, what dangers and troubles art thou like to undergo! for thou canst expect nothing but mischief to fall upon thee, for those unspeakable Villanies thou hast been Guilty of: Oh the strange mischiefs, Plots and Trea∣cheries there are in the minds of Men! This Conjuncti∣on falls in square to the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, 1682: Now Italy and Rome, where are all thy Princes with their Jesuitical Tribe? what unlooked and unhoped for Deaths are some of them like to endure! for Mars threatens them with Wars,

Commotions, Insurrections, Massacres, Persecutions, and Murthers, But England be thou content, for thy Condition is better than any, since thou injoyest both Peace, and Tranquility, God continue it; but Ireland is full of Troubles and Vexations, and besides here is a longer time of Sufferings appointed for that place, and indeed many more are threatned with Wars, Sedition, Cruelty, Furiousness, and Inhuma∣nity of Soldiers, and that from the Eclipse of the Sun, in the last Face of Pisces, which influenceth over Garamentes, Portugal, Calabriana, Galatia, Cilicia, Lydia, Normandy, &c. The Eclipse of the Moon in Libra, provoketh furious and tempe∣stuous storms of Hail to happen in several places under the Sign Libra; and the E∣clipse of the Sun in the second Face of Virgo doth threaten those places under the said Constellation with Famine, Pestilence, Seditions, and great Droughts, hinder∣ing the plentiful Crops of Summer Corn; here are also threatned many Robberies by Land, and Pyracies and Troubles by Sea, and that from the Eclipse of the Moon in the last Face of Pisces; now what places Virgo and Pisces doth represent, you may find in Mr. Coley's Clavis of Astrology, as I have declared several times already, &c.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1691.

* 1.10WE have only two Eclipses this year, and they both of the Sun, the one being in Pisces, and the other in Virgo; we have also a very remarkable Op∣position between the two Malefacts, viz. Saturn and Mars, from Taurus and Scorpio, and it happens in the very degree of their last Conjunction: Therefore from these Configurations, I judge that this will be a year of great action, and that in Russia, Swedeland, Polonia, Lorraine, Parthia, Campania, Franconia, Norway, Bavaria, Cappadocia, Catalonia: Ireland still continues in Troubles, and suffers great losses: Swedeland now begins to repent their medling with War, but Russia, and they too, are both involved into that trouble, which they themselves know not which way to get out: Oh what perplexity is there! for Mars in this Opposition being amongst the Pleiades, and Saturn in Opposition to that turbulent Constellation, whose effects will not only be seen in the Air, but also in the Actions and Passions of Humane kind; therefore all those Countries under the Signs Taurus and Scorpio must look to feel some severe Correction, &c. Likewise the Eclipse of the Sun, in the first Face of Pisces, will have some secret influence over Cilicia, Calabri∣ana, Portugal, Galatia, Normandy, Phasunia, Nasamonia in Libia, Garamentes in Ly∣dia, &c. But the Eclipse of the Sun in the Face of Virgo, will shew its dire Effects in Achaia, Greece, Creet, Carinthia, Mesopotamia, Babylon, Assyria, Basil, Lyons, and Paris in particular, because of their wicked Designs against the poor Protestant Party: Oh what Consultations have they against those innocent Souls, how they may cut them off either by Massacre, or some other means, but I hope they will make good the old Proverb: He that builds a Gallows for another, may chance to be hanged thereon himself, &c. This Eclipse of the Sun in the first Face of Virgo argues the grievous Calamity and death of some certain King, in the Confines of Virgo, and the first Eclipse of the Sun in Pisces, bringeth sadness and anxiety to those we call Priests,

and Religious Houses, and all this to happen to those places under Virgo and Pisces, &c. The Trine of Saturn and Jupiter in Scorpion and Pisces last year, did cause a great many worthy Persons to endeavour a Reconciliation of those differences amongst some Nations; and in all probability there might be Leagues and Articles made be∣tween some Princes of Europe, but if there were, I judge it was to wage War against some other Nation or Nations, for the next year, 1692, Saturn and Jupiter make two Oppositions from Gemini and Sagitarius, &c. England be thou content, for thou rests upon a Rock, and thy Foundation stands unshaken, and this shall suffice for the year 1691, &c.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1692.

IN this year we have no less than two Oppositions be∣tween Saturn and Jupiter,* 1.11 from Gemini and Sagita∣rius: There is likewise a famous Conjunction of Sa∣turn and Mars; and no less than five Eclipses of the Luminaries, viz. Three of the Sun, and two of the Moon: The second Eclipse of the Sun, which hap∣pens on the second day of August, falls in the very Degree of the first Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, 1682, in October; likewise the first Eclipse of the Moon, falls in the very Degree of the Third Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in May 1683; now Italy and Spain, how are you afflicted? If you have scarcity of Grain, and your People dye for want of Bread, pray think of me, for now the triple Conjunction of Saturn and Ju∣piter in 1682 and 83, begins to opperate to purpose; therefore if there be ever a Pope now, he must dye, he cannot avoid it, but in what Nature time will best disco∣ver; and besides the People in those Countries will be apt to Rebel against their Governours, for the Eclipse of the Sun in Leo, declares dammage to Kings; nay, both Death and Banishment; it may be you want a Reason, concerning the Peoples Rebelling against their Superiours; well, you shall not want for a satisfaction; Sa∣turn and Mars are in Conjunction nearer the place of the new Star which appeared in 1604, and they are both in Opposition to Jupiter, such prodigious Conjunctions and Aspects as these, produce none but Rebels, and such kind of Treacherous Vil∣lains, &c. Moravia, Misnia, Sardinia, Lumbardy, Flanders, Brabant, Armenia, Martiania, Dalmatia, Hungary, Moravia, Sclavonia, Gallia, Togata, Sicily, Aphalia, Bohemia, Phenesia, Emilia, Chaldea, Rome, Damasco, Prague, Confluant, Sarmatia, Tartary, the great Mosel, Piemont, Media, Swedeland, Turkey, all these places are much concerned this year; England and France are much concerned herein also, but France is more concerned than England, for they are full of tribulation, they drink deep of the Cup of Affliction: the Hungarians, and the East part of Germany, begin to look blew upon it, for they fear a Famine, and Rome it self begins to quake, &c.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1693.

* 1.12ON 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.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1694.

* 1.13IN this year 1694 we have only four Eclipses between those glorious Lamps of Heaven, viz. Two of the Sun, and as many of the Moon; we have likewise a notable Conjunction of Saturn and Mars, which falls in Opposition to the visible Eclipse of the Sun, which happens June the 10th, in the first Face of Cancer; therefore all places under the Influence of Cancer, Sa∣gitarius, and Capricorn, must expect many Troubles, Vexations and Calamities in this year 1694. Now Muscovy have a care, or else some potent Enemy will invade thee, and bring greater Calamities upon thee, than thou hast had hereto∣fore,

the Sweed and Tartars are also up in Arms, and if the Sweed be invaded tell him it is his own fault, because I gave him timely warning before: the Danes aim, but to small purpose: Scotland, Holland, Granado, and Burgundy must look to taste of the bitter Cup: The Turk also grows very potent, and still increases his Dominions, and Constantinople fears the Pestilence: Zeland, Prusia, Venice, Genoa, Lucas, Pisa, Bernyork, Macedonia, Thracia, Albania, Saxony, Spain, Dalmatia, Hungary, and Ireland must look to partake of this years Transactions: Oxford also must look to taste of this year, for here is a violent storm impending, and wo to that City when∣ever it falls, for the Comet appeared in Capricorn, her Sign, &c. Also the Eclipses of the Sun and Moon in the first and third Faces of Cancer denote many Diseases to the Female Sex, and also sudden miserable and unexpected Deaths unto many: they also incline Mens minds to Arms, and to violate National Leagues deceit∣fully, under the pretences of Religion: They also cause a disturbed Air, and stir up strange kind of Weather, and variety of it, and that in those Countries under the Sign Cancer; but those Eclipses of the Sun and Moon, in the second Faces of Sagita∣rius and Capricorn, portend the Death, or much Destruction unto such Cattle as naturally bray, and of the bigger sort of any such Beasts as are useful for Man, they also denote Incursions of Armies into Neighbour Countries, Captivities, frequent uproars in the Souldiery, and that to all places under the Signs Sagitarius and Capricorn, &c.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1695.

I Shall judge the State and Condition of this year from the Configurations of the Planets,* 1.14 and Eclipses of the Luminaries, which are as followeth; as thus, We have a notable Opposition between Saturn and Mars, from Cancer and Capricorn, it falls the 12th of August, and on the 23d day of the same Month we have a Trine of ♄ and ♃ from ♍ and ♑; besides, we have no less than four Eclipses this year, two of the Sun, and as many of the Moon: The first Eclipse of the Sun falls in Gemini, London's Ascendant, and the last E∣clipse of the Sun falls in Sagitarius; it is made in the second House, it threatens Spain with Destruction amongst their Cattle, both great and small; it also denotes many Robberies and inhumane Murthers in that Country, with strange kind of Out-rages in Hungary, Dalmatia, Moravia, Sclavonia, Misnia, Celtica, and in all places under Sagitarius; but the Eclipse of the Sun in Gemini, which is made in the Eighth House, bodes mortality to great Persons, and that in Flanders, Brabant, Sar∣dinia, Hircania, Armenia, and in London too; and because Mars is Lord of the A∣scendant, and posited in Taurus, in Opposition to the same, therefore I judge we may expect to hear of popular Insurrections in those places under the Sign Gemini;

Mars in Taurus shews some troubles more than ordinary upon the Land of Ireland; and the visible Eclipse of the Moon in the last Face of Taurus, will leave some nota∣ble Impression upon that Land: Also, besides, from these Configurations, we may Rationally Judge, the Swede is still up in Arms against that Great and Potent Ene∣my the Tartar; and if I mistake not, they both afflict Muscovy and Poland, who will do a great deal of mischief to his Neighbour Nations, if not timely prevented: Holland, Scotland, Burgundy, Granado, Zeland, Numidia, Africa, Calchis, Carthage, Constantinople, Venice, Tunis, York, Macedonia, Illiria, Thracia, Bofnia, Albania, Bulga∣ria, Saxony, Hassia, Oxford, India, are also threatned with many Vexations and Troubles in their Government, and that by reason of the Opposition of Saturn and Mars from Cancer and Capricorn; and to Conclude, I judge the Trine of Saturn and Jupiter in Virgo and Capricorn, will cause many Meetings and Treaties for a Recon∣cilation of Peace to many places of Europe, but this is but a Lightning before Death; for the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in Capricorn, December the 16th, Impedites their good Endeavours, and so destroys their Happiness, &c.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1696.

* 1.15WE have no less than two Trines this year be∣tween Saturn and Jupiter, from Virgo and Ca∣pricorn, Saturn being in Capricorn, and Jupiter in Virgo; Oh, strong will be the endeavours of the European Princes for an Universal Peace, throughout the whole Earth, and most People will have a strong Confidence of the Conclusion thereof; but the weakness of Jupiter in Virgo, shews that it will not be accomplisht as yet, for suddenly after Saturn and Mars meet in Conjuncti∣on in Capricorn, and so destroys all former hopes and promises in a moment, and so hinders the good endeavours of Saturn, and instead of enjoying peace and quiet∣ness, they fall together by the Ears; for Mars is all for Wars and Blood-shed, and not for Peace and Friendship, &c. In the next place we shall consider those two great and famous Eclipses of the Moon in Taurus and Scorpio; as thus, The Eclipse of the Moon in Scorpio, declares many Seditions, Murthers, and all manner of wretched∣ness succeds, Mankind oppressed with abundance of obnoxious Diseases, and these generally in Norway, Bavaria, Metagony, Comogena, Cappadocia, Idumea, Maurita∣nia, Fess, Gethulia, Catalonia, &c. But the Eclipse of the Moon in Taurus threatens the Death of some Queen this year, in some Country under the Influence of Taurus; Ireland is also very violent to those poor English which inhabit that Country: Oh the Treacherousness of those Villains, will they never forbear to do mischief; but let them know that hard is their Fate, for they are threatned with thin Crops of Corn, which will be destroyed either by Famine, or a Rebellious sort of People: Holland is also threatned with much Dammage, by the Seas over-flowing its accusto∣med Bounds, they are also threatned with loss of many Ships abroad, and that by violent Storms and Tempests: The Muscovites are still disturbed, and know not when they shall rest in peace: The Turk keeps his Sword drawn, and the Tartarians

are not returned home as yet, neither is Swedeland satisfied, nor Poland contented, but England rests upon a Rock, and her Foundation stands unshaken, &c.

That which is fixt upon a Rock, I am sure will last Ʋntil the late Evening of the World be past, &c.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1697.

IN this year we have no less than three Eclipses of the Sun and Moon,* 1.16 likewise a famous Opposition be∣tween those two Malefacts, viz. Saturn and Mars in Leo and Aquarius: We have also a square of Saturn and Jupiter, from Scorpio and Aquarius, from which Configurations, I judge Holland, Scotland, Ireland, Burgundy, Granado, and Russia will indure a longer time of Sorrow and Affliction, yet they are not alone, for hard is the Fate of that potent place Italy, for the square of Saturn and Jupiter doth cause her to feel the dire effects of their triple Con∣junction in Leo, to purpose; for the Turk still gains ground upon her, and thereby inlarges his own Dominions: The Tartars are also afflicted by the Polanders, and Muscovia, Sycily, Apalia, Bohemia, Emilia, Sabinia, Phenicia, Bulgaria, Saxony, Gaunt, Oxford, Mosel, Piemont, Sarmatia, all these places have a potent Enemy to deal withall, neither are their sufferings alone, for several more places under Tau∣rus are like to suffer Pennury, that is, want of Provision; for the Luminaries E∣clipsed in the first Face of Taurus, is sufficiently hurtful to the Corn upon the Earth, and great Cattle, for they are hereby threatned with many prodigious Dis∣eases, which will generally rage amongst them; these Eclipses do also afflict such as are Negotiators, Sollicitors, Agents, or are generally employed in Mens Affairs, or in the Publick; they also compel Men to undertake unnecessary businesses, and bring to nought all Factions undertaken by the former sort of People, &c.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1698.

IN this year we have only two Eclipses,* 1.17 and those both of the Sun, and not visible, but we have a remarkable Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in Aqua∣rius, and also two square Aspects between Saturn and Jupiter, from Scorpio and Aquarius, Saturn being in Opposition, and Jupiter in Quartile to the very De∣gree of their great Conjunction, 1682, from which Configurations I may rationally judge, that this is like to be a year of much action, and especially to Italy, for that is threatned with no less than Confusion, and a to∣tal subversion of the Triple Crown also, although it may not be fully compleated this year, yet those which live to see this time, will see a great say set to it; for

when some wise Princes are in Consultation how to conclude of Peace, War like a Thunderbolt suddenly breaks out, and the Pope hereby thinking to benefit himself, or his Church, by Incroachment, indangers his Papacy, and almost, if not quite, Confounds his Primacy, and Consumes his Patrimony; this year seems to be the time of his down-lying, &c. The Sea will also swell with great Navies of Ships, and thereby causing many great Sea-fights, and in all probability England may have a hand in it too, if it has it will come off victorious, to their great Honour and Glory, and then the Roman Clergy shall run up and down from place to place, and find no shelter, yea the whole Conclave of Cardinals shall tremble and shake for fear, &c.

The power of France is also brought very low, even as low as Pharaohs lean kine, for the late Wars hath destroyed many thousands of the poor Inhabitants, and that by the means of the Roman Clergy, and the pride of an insulting Governour: Ire∣land and Holland hath also drank deep of the Cup of Affliction; and Englands Foun∣dation stands firm and unshaken, God continue it, &c.

The Eclipse of the Sun in the last Face of Aries, destroys the lesser Cattle, as Hogs, Sheep, Goats, Conies, Hares, and is the fore-runner of Lamentation, Woes, and Mourning unto mortal men, or most sorts of Men, and the death of some No∣ble Woman; but the Eclipse of the Sun in the Second Face of Libra, portends the Death of some Eminent Prince, or King, or Noble Man, and for breach of Cu∣stoms stirs up Sedition, and designs a Famine: Those places under Aries and Libra, are most likely to suffer and feel the Effects of these Eclipses, &c.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1699.

* 1.18THis year we have four Eclipses of the Luminaries, viz, two of the Sun, and as many of the Moon: The second Eclipse of the Sun will be visible and bigger than any Eclipse that hath been seen in England this fifty years, it falls in the beginning of Libra, on the 13th day of September, about eleven of the Clock before Noon, at which time there will be an Opposition be∣tween Saturn and Mars from Leo and Aquarius, that will aggravate the Effects thereof to purpose; there∣fore I judge great will be the actions of this year, and that for a settlement of Peace throughout the whole World, for we have no less than two Sextiles of Saturn and Jupiter, from Sagitarius and Aquarius, each Planet possessing his own House, the one beginning the year, and the other ending the year, but before there is a perfect Conclusion made, all Nations will be troubled with Rumours of Wars, every Re∣gion preparing Armies, Traffick prohibited both by Sea and Land: The main Sea shall hugely swell with mighty Tempests, so that the Sea in many places shall over∣flow its accustomed Bounds, causing violent Inundations in many Countries; also terrible Sea Fights this year, such as hath not been before, occasioning the Water to look more Red than the Red Sea, so great a Drought, and so great a want of

Water will appear in many places, that multitudes of People will dye in many places for meer want of Water; great Plagues and Mortality also cover many places of the Earth, and so destroy Man-kind; there will also appear such noysome swarms of Fowls and Flies that will devour the Corn upon the Ground, causing great Famine and Dearth of Corn in many Nations of Europe, and suddenly after unexpectedly appears a great Conquerour, the World being filled with the Fame of this Man, who suddenly, like Augustus, gives Peace unto the whole Earth, &c.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1700.

IN this year we have only two Eclipses of the Moon,* 1.19 the one in Virgo, and the other in Pisces, likewise a Conjunction of Saturn and Mars on the 29th of De∣cember, in Pisces, the great Dignities of Jupiter, from which Configurations, I judge there will be no great matter of business in Agitation this year, only every Nation will be endeavouring to settle it self, for all Princes have a strong inclination for Peace, and the continuance thereof; for most Princes will make Leagues more firm and strict than formerly; here will be almost a new World, for our Farmers now take pleasure in their Husbandry; the Mer∣chants hath prosperous Returns, and the Mechanicks quick Trading, every Man repairs his former losses; and soon after follows the destruction of Rome, with the downfall of the Pope: England be thou content, and return God the due praise for the many Blessings he affords thee annually; for the late Sextil of Saturn and Ju∣piter in their own proper Houses, doth promise Peace and Tranquility to thee, and indeed all the World: Now old men live their full years, and our Youth grow up to Mens Estates, &c, Yet I must tell you by the way, that these Eclipses of the Moon in Virgo and Pisces, with the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars also, will leave some notable impression upon those places under the Signs wherein they happen, and what those Effects will be, I shall leave you to examine Mr. Lilly's Annus Tene∣brosus, Printed 1652.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1701.

IN this year we have no less than four Eclipses of the Luminaries,* 1.20 viz. two of the Sun and as many of the Moon; we have also an Opposition between Sa∣turn and Mars from Virgo and Pisces: The first E∣clipse of the Sun is in the second Face of Aquarius: The second Eclipse of the Sun falls in the second Face of Leo; but the first Eclipse of the Moon falls in the first Face of Virgo; and the second Eclipse of the Moon, happens in the last Face of Aquarius, but what

they portend, or are the fore-runners of, that I shall leave to Astrologers to deter∣mine when the time cometh: For I am apt to believe that some Nations will not see an end of their Troubles till Dooms-day, &c. Therefore let no Man think himself happy, until the day of his Death, &c. According to the Rudolphin Ta∣bles in Mr. Coley's Clavis of Astrology: The next Conjunction of Saturn and Jupi∣ter will fall in May 1702, in that Equinoctial Sign Aries, the Ascendant of England.

Readers, in this my Astrological Judgment for 20 years, I have considered every year the Figure of the Suns Revolution, as well as the Configurations of the Supe∣riour Planets and Eclipses, &c.

Nemo sine crimine vivit.

That Man never breathed yet, nor never shall, That did all well, and had no fault at all.

Here followeth a Treatise of the Pestibence, both for Pre∣vention and Cure thereof, &c.

IN the first place, let such as would avoid this Disease, avoid the fear thereof, for fear changeth the Blood into the Nature of the thing feared, the Imagination ruling the Spirits Natural, &c. Secondly, Let the Body be kept soluble, if it be not so Naturally, take a Scruple of Pillalae Ruffi Pestilentialis, at Night when you go to Bed, &c. Thirdly, And if the Body be full of Blood, bleed so much as strength and age will permit, &c. Fourthly, Take a Spoonful of Vinegar of Squills, three or four times a day, viz. at ten of the Clock in the Morning, and just after Dinner, and at four in the Afternoon, and likewise after Supper. Fifthly, Take the quantity of a Ha∣zel-Nut of Methridate, it is thus made; gather half a handful of green Rue, any Sunday morning a little after Sun-rising, then take six blew Figs, and six Walnuts, and forty Juniper Berries, and a little Bay-Salt, beat these altogether into an E∣lectuary. Sixthly, Let all Passions and Perturbations of mind be avoided, and like∣wise all violent motions; and likewise, I shall advise all those which love their Healths to avoid the drinking of Wine and strong Drink, for all such things as these inflame the Blood. Seventhly, Let all People keep their Houses pure and clean, for a foul House is like soft Wax, sitting to receive any impression; also let there be a good Fire kept therein; and let your Diet be of good Juice, quick of digestion, and be sure you eat those things which are sharp with your Meats, as Vinegar, Verjuice, Oranges, Juice of Lemmons, and Citrons, or Pomgranets, let all Fruits be avoided, except such as are sower; let not the Stomach be over-charged with excess of Meat or Drink, and in Summer time let the Blood be cooled with cool Herbs, as Endive, Lettuce, Purslain, Succory; and let your Drink be Whey clarified with them; let your smells be of L••udanum Storax, Calamitis, Camphire, Cinnamon, Nutmegs, Wood of Aloes, Liquid Storax, &c. Lastly, These things being taken inwardly are preventional and resist the Diseases, viz. Angelica Roots, Zodoary, Bolearmeniack, Terra limina, Methridate, Treacle, Tormentil, and Petasitis Roots, and Citron Pills; thus much for Prevention.

In the next place I come to Provision for it when prevention is too late; and first of all, that Provision may be timely, I begin with the Signs of one Infected, which are 12: The first is when the outward Members be cold, and the inward Members burning hot: the second is heaviness, weariness, sloth, and indisposition of the whole Body, and difficulty in breathing: the third is pain and heaviness in the Head: the fourth is carefulness of mind, and sadness: the fifth is a marvellous inclination to sleep for the most part, for sometimes watching and raving vex them: the sixth is the flowing of the Eyes: the seventh is the loss of appetite: the eighth is immoderate thirst, and often vomiting: the ninth is bitterness, and dryness of the Mouth: the tenth is the pulse is swift, small, and deep: the eleventh is the Urine for the most part thick and stinking: the twelfth and most certain sign of all is, if there appear ri∣sings behind the Ears, under the Arm-holes, or in the Groins, without any manifest cause known, or, and if Carbuncles arise suddenly in any other Member, these when they rise shews Naturh is strong and able, because it thrusteth the venom from it; in the beginning of the Sickness, nay, many times before the Body feels it self sick; now these risings appearing in any place, shew which of the Vitals is most afflicted with the Disease; for if they appear about the Ears, the Brain is most annoyed, by reason that is the purging place of the Brain; if the rising appear under the Arms, then the Heart is the part afflicted, for that is the purging place of the Heart; but and if it appear in the Groin, the Liver is most infected, for the Groin is the purging place thereof; but if no rising appear at all, it fore-shews Nature to be weak, and not able to expel and thrust forth the Venome; but when those spots appear that are called Tokens, they shall shew that the whole Body Universally is Corrupted, &c. If you feel your self infected first upon a full Stomach, take a Vomit presently; also in the beginning of the Disease, let the Diseased Person Blood on that side that the rising appears, as if it should happen in the Neck, bleed in the Cephalica on that Arm, viz. if it be on the right side, bleed the right Arm, if on the left side, bleed the left Arm, if the rising appear under the Arm, bleed in the Basilica of the Arm on that side the rising appears, but if it appear in the Groin, breathe a Vein in the Ancles of the side it appears on, but if none at all appear, consider which parts are most grieved with Pains and Aches, and proceed in Blood-letting, according to the former Rules; Sweating also is a very Sovereign remedy, which you may effect by some such Medicines as these, viz. Methridate, Venice-Treacle, Mathiolus his great Antidote, Black-Cherry-Water, Serpentary Roots, Electuarium de Ovo, the Blood being cooled with this or the like Juleps, and let him or her drink no other Drink: take Harts-horn and Ivory, of each one Ounce and a half; of the flowers of Violets, Bur∣rage, Bugloss, Clove-gilly-flowers, Rosemary, and Marigolds, of each two Drams; of the Roots of Petasitis, and Zedoary, of each three Drams; of the Roots of Scor∣zonera, one Ounce, boyl them all in a Pottle of Water until it comes to a Quart, and when it is almost boyled, add to it Saffron and Chochaneal, of each ten Grains, then strain it, and add to it Syrrup of Violets, Clove-gilly-flowers, and Melessaphylli fernelii, of each one Ounce, Oyl of Sulphur, 12 Drops, let this be drank so often as the sick is a dry; if the Diseased be astringent, keep the Body soluble with Clysters, and let them be refreshed and strengthened with Cordials; and if they sleep not, provoke sleep with Diascordium, but have a care of Opiates in the beginning of the Disease; if they vomit much, as some do vomit up all they do eat and drink, stay it with Spirit of Mint, or bake a Toast very well, then dip it in Wine Vinegar, chew

a little of this while it is hot, and hold the rest to your Nose, and it will close up the mouth of the Stomach; and if any swelling do rise, consider first whether it be likely to brake or not, that you may know by its lying deep in the Flesh and looking white, it is not likely to break, you must then anoint it with Oyl of Lillies, or Oyl of Ca∣momell; but if it rise to a Head, and look Red, and lye not deep in the Flesh, it will break, then take a young Pidgeon, pull off the Feathers from the tail, and hold her bare Fundament to the swelling, and it will draw out all the Venome; some lay Venice Treacle to it, for Venice Treacle draweth the Venome to it, but sometimes the swelling falls down again, and is black, this shews great danger of Life, and that comes through cold taken; therefore you must be very careful, and see that you do not take cold in this Disease, for it is very dangerous; but when it is too late to pre∣vent; the Remedy thereof, presently take a Pidgeon, and with a sharp Knife, slit her through the breast to the Back, break her open and apply her yet alive to the place, if this do no good, apply a cupping Glass to the place, for a desperate Disease must have a desperate Cure; for what is it that a Man will not do to save his Life, so long as there is hopes, when the sore is broken, apply a Milliot Plaister to it, and tent it with Linimentum Arcei, and make no great haste to heal it up: Lastly, And if Tokens appear, which by most people is affirmed and firmly belived, to be an infal∣lible sign of Death, let the Person so infected be let Blood, and when you have so done, give such Physick as shall be thought fit by an able Physitian, for the cleansing of the Body from all ill humours, and let the sick have such Cordials as shall cool the Blood and strengthen Nature; then see, through the providence of God, whether Nature will not be able to rout the Disease. Another Remedy for those that have the Tokens, which is somewhat more desperate than the former, as thus, whilst natu∣ral heat remains, wrap up the sick Person in a Blanket wet in cold Water, and that will cause a violent Sweat, and thereby purges out the Corruption from the Blood, &c. For a Plague Sore Boyl, or Carbuncle, Bay-salt dryed, and beaten into fine Powder, and well incorporated with the yolks of Eggs, makes an excellent Plaister, being spread up∣on Leather: This also is an excellent remedy for the Plague, take Ivy Berries when they are Ripe, and dry them, then take half a Dram of the Powder of them in Plantain-Wa∣ter, and sweat upon it: another, if a piece of Angle-Gold be put into Juice of Lemmons, and after 24 hours taken out again, and a little Angelica Root in powder put into it, and drunk by such as have the Plague, cures to admiration, but you must gather the Angelica on a Sunday just as the Sun rises, because it is a Herb of the Sun; and the Gold should be put in at the same time, &c. So much for the Prevention and Cure of the Pestilence, &c.

But if Nature frown, the Case is hard, And if Art want, the matter all is marr'd.

Do not we know that the Learned Physician giving a Medicine to his sick Patient, expecteth not that it should immediately operate, some hours he alloweth for the Medicines operation: God is our Physician, the Heavens his store-house, or Shop, the Sun, Moon, and Stars his Instrumental Medicines and Drugs, their motion, his time he gives in operation: If Physick work not, as the Learned Doctor conceiveth it ought to do, (aliquid latet) there is an obstruction he little thought of: Therefore if I mistake or fail in these my Prognosticks, perhaps the Great Jehovah hath reserved the Ho∣nour for some more worthy and deserving person than I am, therefore blinds my Senses, or else permits me not to see, or fore-tell what those Heavenly Messengers are the fore-runners of, &c.

FINIS.
