have sustained by that Siege, both in Substance and People, and compare it with the Loss of the Christians, we may say, that the Conjunction was not prejudicial, but rather beneficial to Chri∣stendom, and prejudicial to the Turks.
Yet I do not say, but these Places under Leo, and in Sextile, and Trine to it, may have Troubles, but their Enemies shall not have power to prevail against them to overcome them; for though Sa∣turn be the most superior, yet being out of all his essential Digni∣ties, he shall be forced to seek to, and comply with the Sun and Jupiter, and that upon their terms, and not upon his own.
But these Regions, Countries, and Cities under Aquarius, being in opposition to Leo, and those in square, which are Taurus and Scorpio, will be like to be most sufferers (under this Conjunction) by one means or other; either by War, Famine, Sickness, or In∣undations of Waters, &c. for certainly, if those under the Sextiles and Trines partake of Evil, much more those under the Squares and Oppositions will be Sufferers by their effects, as may be seen by this following example, being yet in the memory of many thousands now living in England. In the year 1663. there was a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Sagitary, and Gemini is the opposite Sign, London being under it, what sad fates did London under∣go soon after? for in the year 1665, there was a lamentable Plague, and in 1666. the City almost consumed with Fire; many more sad Accidents I could instance, but let this suffice at this time.
And because that every one that may happen to read this Book, may not be an Artist good enough to know what places are under the Signs before mentioned, I will here insert the Names of some Countries and Cities under Leo, and under the Signs in Oppositi∣on and Square to it, which are as followeth.
