With all my heart Child What is ' t Boy What 's the English of Adolescentior Sc. Adolescentior Hum Adolescentior Haw Adolescentior I That is as much as to say Adolescentior Now fye Child Ask questions with that dirty face Go wash it Child Go wash it Fye Child fye Boy It signifies a Ladder Adolescens a Lad Adolescentior a Lad-der Sc. I profess I did not observe it I see a man may live and learn every day Go Child wash your face and let your father know I am here Boy Yes Sir I shall Exit Boy Sc. Now indeed Mrs. Whiteborth this is your fault I am present in body but absent in mind I could chide you now But I hear him coming Enter Mopus as from his study Did not I tell you of that Globe 'T is well I did not venture you by your self I 'll sist him Mo. Worthy Sir and you good Madam most welcome Be pleas'd to let me know your Commands and you shall see I am so great a Reverencer of your Coat that my whole Art shall lie at your feet Sc. He speaks like other men Aside You call it right It is a Coat indeed no Cassock but a good plain honest distinguishing Jump But to our business I have heard Sir That you are a man of Art and therefore I would fain know of you what you conceive of this notable Conjunction in October next which the Learned to be the fore-runner of Dooms-day if not the thing it self Mo. You mean Sir that of the two superiour Planets Saturn and Jupiter in Sagittarius Sc. The same What may it portend Good or Evil Mo. Much good no doubt Wherein though I dare not be too positive yet as far as Trismegistus Albohazen Haly Messahala Zael Rabbi Abraham Albubater Avenezra Albumacer Guido Bonetus Hispalensis Firmius Alchindus Proclus Monteregius Albertus Teutonicus Averrois And the most antient Chaldeans Egyptians Moors Jews or Arabians have discourst either this or the like I shall give you my opinion Sc. I profess a great red Man Mo. And here we are to observe which of the two Planets Saturn and Jupiter This the very best That the very worst is strongest at the time of his Conjunction for according to his nature will the effects follow Sc. In truth learnedly Pray Sir on Mo. The last Conjunction of these two Planets happened Sc. Pray Sir no chance or happening Was I pray Mo. Then Was in February 1643 in 25 Degrees of Pisces a sign of the watrie Triplicitie not known in nature before which produced those monstrous Actions not heard of in the World before And now forasmuch as this Conjunction is in Sagittary the Day-house and Triplicitie of Jupiter we may conclude it is the more considerable in regard they have wholly left the Aquatick Trigon and will for manie Years make their Conjunction in the fierie Tranquilitie For when anie alteration from one Trigon to his contrarie happens Sc. Good Sir no happening Let me beseech you for look you d you see as this Good Sir Things come not by hap or chance Mo. Well what you please It is impossible but that some admirable effects quite opposite to the former must needs follow And of this opinion is the learned Haly and generally all the Antients and Moderns Sc. But suppose it should be otherwise Mo. Then we 're mistaken And that 's verie unlikelie amongst so manie learned men As we ordinarilie converse in the world we may be mistaken but in Cathedra That is to say our studies 't is impossible Sc. A pretty word for a Study Cathedra quasi Cathedra But pray Sir what effect do you conceive this Conjunction may have upon the Whore of Babylon Mo. Why trulie that is somewhat uncertain in regard it will depend so much upon that great Eclipse of Sol in Cancer in the house of the Moon the 22. day of June 1666. and will appear almost Total at Rome for my part I expect some or other should marrie her up and make an honest woman of her or otherwise as Mr. Brightman upon his pair Royal of Sixes has most excellentlie observ'd she is likelie to get such a Clap she 'll hardly claw it off again in haste Ru. I do profess you have handled the point notablie I am convinc'd There 's 〈…〉 il in this Globe M. W. La ' you now Mr. Scruple You 'll trust me another time won't you Sc. Reproach not my good meaning Certainlie Sir you must needs have added some rare Collections to your own observation Mo. Yes I have some Toyes for so the world esteems 'um however to me they are Jewels Sc. As what good Sir Mo. Manie manie In particular a Treatise of the Philosophers stone written originallie by Janboshar Adam's Tutor whom likewise you find recorded in the Indian Books written by Isazarith about a hundred Years before his time Sc. I thought Letters had not been so antient Mo. Alas There were divers verie good Authors writ before the Flood I have some half a dozen of 'um within if I could tell where to find'um Men of my profession cannot well be without'um When I see you next I 'll shew you the verie Antographum by which Seth drew his Pillars Sc. Yes that were worth the seeing And now I find you so near the flood give me leave to try your learning Give me the exact time and the language of that time and I 'll say you 're a Scholar Mo. For the time It was according to our latter computation the 5th day of June in the 1656. Year of the world one Month and 17. dayes nor more nor less And by all good Tokens upon a Fryday Sol in Gemini the Dominical letter of that Year D fifteen minutes preciselie after Sun-setting Sc. I see you 're verie exact Mo. Alas We must be so Half a minutes loss so maine Years ago had been the Lord knows what by this time Then for the language notwithstanding anie thing that has been said to prove it High dutch I am clearlie of opinion it was Hebrew or some other Jargon Sc. Nay there you must bate mean Ace for though I look upon it as obscure as the head of Nile yet as far as it may be lawful to pry into unreveal'd mysteries I dare boldlie pronounce it to have been Welch Mo. Welch Afedrwch chwi Gymeraege Sc. Why trulie no But I have a little look't into the learning of the Tongue and that for two Reasons The one for the honour of my Nurse for I am to tell you I suck't a Welch-nurse and so by a Synecdoche He pronounces it long may be call'd a Welchman The other That I have observ'd it makes an excellent sound in a Countrey-Church and consequentlie is Tant a mount to all the Eastern languages and I 'll promise you as Guttural that is to say Throateral Y Cradog Crûgog Crogwch Y Gwan-wr hûll fû gân r hwch Mo. O' my word there 's more than Kawse Pobi in this Pray Sir how
