forenamed Opposition The words of that wrangling fellow called Naworth or Wharton or a man of a double name in the Prognostication of September are these At Michaelmas there 's an hatefull Opposition of Saturn and Mars something of great consequence will be done about that time prejudicious to the Rebels The Parliament Citizens of London and all those naturall English that adhere unto them are called Rebels by that ungodly Tribe of scornfull Monsters at Oxford and this scurrilous Language printed by command Vix credo But why this Opposition should prejudice the Parliament I see not It promiseth them such a Victory over their enemies as they yet never had And I will refer the reason of the Judgement to any moderate Artist In this Eclipse Mars is Lord of the Ascendant and so hath signification of our Parliaments affairs Saturn therein is their enemy because placed in the seventh house Now when Mars in his own house comes to Opposition of Saturn having no Fortitudes if we knock not our our enemies soundly I say then God is angry with us It points out something else c. But let this man of errour consider the Figure of the Suns entrance into Libra the 12 of September next and he shall finde to his grief the Dragons tail in the tenth house and Saturn Lord of the tenth in the twelfth Retrograde let him boast if he can of that position and see if such a glorious Conquest be thereby signified to chance to the Kingdoms Vipers as he Trayterously prophesieth Nothing troubles me more then in unfolding the truth I must instruct this Changling that pretends himself a Regall Prog-man for Astrologer he is none But to save me a labour I finde in the Judgement of my loving friend Master Booker upon the Autumnall Quarter these words which clearly end the Controversie out of such Authors as the Highway-finder G. W. sometimes to little purpose doth mention There can be nothing worse saith Master Booker then the Dragons tail in the tenth for Guido fol. 595 saith Significat impedimentum Regum atque Nobilium Magnatum diminutionem honoris eorum seu dignitatum Kings Nobles and great persons shall have many impediments and their honour and dignity blasted The losse of Honour is a signall of Victory in Naworths opinion Albumazar dixit significat depositionem pericula peregrinationem seu casum Albumazar saith When the Dragons tail is in the tenth it signifieth the deposing danger or oft running up and down or some Fall to chance to Kings Princes great Nobles c. Some might have Englished the Latine and it would bear the sense well as if such persons-should be enforced to flee away c. O what cause of insulting here is on Naworths side when it s almost conspicuous in that Naturall way we both judge by George his best friends must be utterly routed trudge run away with such trinkets as they can get and amongst the rest I know George himself Budget Almanack some say a Gown I hear of no Cloke will not be the last man that runs for fear of being taken prisoner and delivered over to Master Booker with whom I promise to intercede for good Quarter because George pretends to the Mathematicks But letting this Quibling Novice alone till he is better literated I shall do well to inform the world what the greatest Actions of this Eclipse may be In a word they are like to be of divers kindes but those of most eminency signified by Mars who tells you of most unnaturall Wars of unusuall Treachery in the Courts of Princes he tells you a Famine shall follow the effects of the Eclipse he tells you of the losse and drowning of men in Ships Pyracies Shipwracks whole Cities Countreys Towns wasted consumed depopulated burned down to ashes shot down to the ground and made Rubbish of fearfull and horrible Insurrections Discontents of Rapine Murder Thefts Plunder Pillaging death of severall young Nobles and Princes or men of Princely Progenie he threatens Poison to great ones unusuall Feavers multiplicity of Sea-fights infinite Losses at Sea multitudes of Pyrats a Plague amongst men Murrain amongst Cattel Mutinies of servants against Masters destruction of Sheep and little Cattel c. Kings shall hazard their Scepters by Wars Subjects their Liberties Cities and Towns their Priviledges He threatens a generall confusion and madnesse upon the face of the earth and that Europe is totally out of the right way that the Emperour of Germany the later end of this yeer will run a great hazard with the Swedes that France is not many yeers to continue in that Peace the Cardinall left it and that the Spaniard shall have one lustie day over the French If we credit the principall Signification of the Eclipse with its Appurtenances Consequences Configuration by it self and compared with preceding Conjunctions of the superiour Planets and with subsequent Aspects for some yeers succeding it doth whisper as if some Designe were in hand or minting to make 0000 Master of Europe and possessed of more ground then his Ancestors left him or them We see Jupiter in Cancer Here 's like to be tugging to settle some scrupulous Tenents be they right or wrong it s no matter say some Zizania cum tritico usque ad diem messis crescunt Tares grow up with the wheat till Harvest but then c.

O t is like to be a sickly time with some a bloody and treacherous one with others The Eclipse in a Kingly Signe and house and accompanied with a Kingly fixed Star It must according to the course of Nature be the Forerunner of some more then usuall accident to Emperours Kings Queens Princes and the chiefest Potentates of Europe Non enim Sol in Leone aliis rebus prae est nisi sublimibus altis item Regibus Princibus Generosis viris qui ad Gubernacula Reipublicae sedent The Sun in Leo signifieth nothing but what is of an high nature and Kings Princes Gentlemen and such as sit and govern the Common-wealth Here 's many old Laws and Customs to be abrogated here 's many ancient Families to be deprived of their Inheritances here 's erection of new Customs Laws perhaps a new Government here 's Nation against
