By John Gadbury, student in physick and astrology.

The Loyal LONDON, Launched at Deptford. 1666

In this Figure of Heaven we find, that the Moon is in Opposition to the place of Mars, in the Geniture of the City of London, whose Name this curious Vessel did bear. And things of this Nature, are as properly to be compa∣red with their Originals, as Childrens Nativities are to be considered with their Fathers Radixes; and this course all the Learned in Astrology, unanimously Warrant.

The Misfortunes attending this Vessel, are plainly in∣cluded in our second Aphorism of Caution against ills, which before I presented you withal. Mars is in the Ascendant of this Scheam, and in Quadrate Aspect of the Sun in the Mid-Heaven, and both of them Dignified in

the Eighth House, which Astrologically portended a short Life to this curious built Vessel. And accordingly, when the Sun was directed to the Quadrate of Mars, and the Ascendant to his Body, cum & sine Latitudine, this Ship was unfortunately burnt at Chattam in the River of Thames, in somewhat above a years time after its first Launching. Compare the unhappy Fate of this Ship with Aphorism the 11th. of Danger, &c. and tell me if it agree not exactly therewith.

In the Genitures of short-liv'd Ships, as were this, and the Defiance before-mentioned, there is no more use of an Alchocoden, than in those of short-liv'd Persons.
