the great Angle of business and action And that which is as remarkable together with so favouring a Direction he had a very auspicious Revolution for that year as you may behold by the following Scheam thereof Revolutio Solis ad punctum Radicis 1640. ☿ April 8● 7h. 58′ P. M. ☽ â vac ad □ ♃ ⚹ ☉ ♄ In this Coelestial Figure you see the Lords of the Horoscope and Medium Coeli are in their sublimities or exaltations and in a short quadrate to each other equivalent to a Sextile and the one of them in Trine to the Mid-heaven and the other casts the same Aspect to the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or eleventh Angle and Royal fixed Stars prime Cusps of the Scheam The Lady of the Ascendent at birth as there is Almuten of this Revolution and herein returned to her Radical place casting a friendly Sextile to Mercury the Patron of Learning and Books in the Seaventh House and a Trine to the Nineth and Ascendent It is in all respects a most admirable position of Heaven and most properly agreeth unto the happy and immortal effects of this Natives Pen. Indeed Mr. Wings writings found a most excellent welcome into the World among all sorts of ingenious persons even so great and happy an one that at length in that year wherein Fifty Thousand of his Almanacks have not sold or gone off the Company of Stationers as I have been credibly informed had esteemed it but a year of an indifferent sale So universally spreading was this persons Fame he beginning to write under so happy and Favourable a Revolution and direction And these his Annual Books or Almanacks he continued twenty eight years together thereby making an addition to his former Reputation but never growing less or loosing of any his once purchased Honour He still gained ground but never lost any and not only his Almanacks but his other more laborious writings also met with a very happy entertainment and success So that in Truth all persons that have Printed and sold his works as well as those that have bought and read them are Debtors to his memory and pains And the Book-seller and Printer as well as the Astronomer must mourn the unhappy loss of Mr. Wing But now Mr. Wing was not only a good man and singular good Artist but he was a kind and loving Neighbour and for his temperate and sober behaviour and demeanor was infinitely beloved of all those he lived among as well of the more Rustical and unpolished sort of people which generally look upon Astrologers as Conjurers and Mathematicians as Mad-men as of those of the best quality and breeding obliging the latter by his Ingenuity and Industry in Science and the former by his Humility and readiness at all times to do them good So that the meaner sort of people were always ready to serve him and the better sort of Persons to assist and encourage him in any of his Studious attempts He was a Serious Cordial Friend and hard to be removed in affection when once he had settled it upon any man and when he was necessitated to be an Enemy being naturally so great a lover of Peace and Friendship it was as great a trouble to him as the knowledge of Letters was pretended to be to a Noble Roman when he came to signe the death of any Offendor In his greatest provocations and from the very worst of his Enemies as I am informed he would admit of a Reconcilement upon the easiest terms imaginable he ever loved to preserve Amity and Friendship and to crush or banish Enmity and Hatred He was likewise known to be a most careful and loving Husband and a Kind and Indulgent Father as appeared both in the Prudent government of his Family in his Life-time and by his disposeing and ordering of things at his Death for the good of his Relict and Children that they might not after his Decease turn Wolves and Tygers each to other as in too many very good Families for want of such care and foresight it is God knows too frequently seen and when past remedy too vainly lamented Lastly Mr. Wing was a man so naturally made for Action and so much abominating Remisseness and Dulness that to follow his employments he often hazzarded his much to be prized Health he having for near thirty years together been constantly upon business riding early and late in all kinds of weather wayes and seasons which sine Dubio was the propinquate cause at length of a very great Hoarsness which began to seize him violently in the beginning of the forty-nineth year of his Age it being a year Climacterical which Hoarsness was after some interval of time attended with a Consumption and Catarrhe whereof in the moneth of September 1668. and the twentieth day thereof when the Moon was in an opposition of Saturn he ended all his Tedious Labours and Travels with this his Terrestrial Pilgrimage And so receiving an exchange to a better Life is now at Rest with God Behold how the Heavens were posited in the Revolution of the Year of his Death as you may see in the following Sceam ☉ ad Rudicem pro Anno Mortis 1668. April 8d. 7h. P. M. ☽ â ⚹ ♃ ad ☉ Herein you see the Lord of the Ascendent and Lord of the Eighth House are applying to a Conjunction and this upon the Cuspe of the Eighth House in the Radix and not only so but they are both of them in a hateful opposition of Mars and in Quadrate Aspect of Saturn and the Lady of the Ascendent in the Radix is in this Figure returned to the place of Saturn and Oculus Tauri who were radically placed in the House of Death Saturn also is by Direction as well as Position promittor of Death in this Nativity All which are as so many Trumpetters of this Natives approaching Fate which he instead of being daunted at welcomed with a great deal of Chearfulness even to the very last And indeed no man that hath lived well and uprightly done good in his Generation as Mr. Wing had done need be affraid of Death or of the knowledge of the time thereof It was a Blessing that Holy David prayed for and that St. Paul desired And although it may be the Sinful mans Terror and Torture to know it it is the Just mans Joy The Direction that Cut off Life was the Sun to the Body of Saturn viz. the meeting of the Hylech and Anareta in an Anaretical place thus proved 0 1.
