Mutiny and compelled the Emperour of the Turks to deliver unto them his chiefest Favourites to be put to death and that likewise they might remove his Officers at their pleasure yet they were not coment herewith they set fire on the Jewes Houses spoyled their goods and by that meanes above twelve thousand of their Houses were burnt downe to the ground in the same City The Hungarians were continually molested with the the incursions of the Turkes The Sophy of Persia dyed And if I may use the words of Gallobelgicu● ab ortu Solis usque ad occasum nullus firmè remansit locus in quo non miratu dignum aliquid hoc Anno contigerit That is from the rising of the Sunne to the going downe thereof there was scarce any place in which something worthy Memory did not happen This yeere Regiomontanus foretold a little before his death at Rome viz. 1475. one hundreth and thirteen yeares before it came to passe to his effect The Translation whereof as I have read in Dutch is thus Tausen funfhundert achtzitchtacht Das ist das iar das ich betracht Geth in dem de weltnixt under Geschicht doch groz merklich wunder Post mille expletos a partu Virginis Annos Et post Quingentos rursus ab Orbe datos Octogesimus octavus mirabilis Annus Ingruet is secum tristia Fataferet Si non hoc Anno totus malus occidet Orbis Si non in nihilum terra fretumque ruet Cuncta tamen mundi sursum ibunt atque retrorsum Imperia Luctus undique grandis erit Which is thus done into English by me From Christs Birth count a thousand yeares compleate And adde five hundred more with eighty eight That yeare approaching All men will affright With woefull Terrours which on them will light If the whole World to ruine do not run Or into nothing Land and Seas be done At least most Kingdomes topsy-turny turne And men on all sides grievously shall mourne I mention this Astrologicall Prediction and these many occurrences that happened this yeare yet in the memory of man to the end remembring what having already bin passed we may in some measure conjecture of the like Accidents to happen in these our dayes It is true Saturne passeth through a signe once in two yeares and a halfe so that in thirty yeares he runneth through the Zodiaque or the twelve Signes And as often as he returneth to his place Quadrate or opposite Aspect for the most part there happeneth extraordinary mutations in many parts of the World according to the diverse and various positions of the other Planets to him and amongst themselves and the Ingresse of the Sun to the Cardinall poynts with Eclipses c. if we looke in our Chronicles for the yeare 1593 in which year Saturne was in Leo in Quadrate to Taurus and so to the end of 1595 and upward we shall finde the Irish to rebell The story wherof is at large in Mr. Camden and others And if we come neerer to our time viz. In the years 1600 1601 and 1602 all which time Saturne was in Scorpio we shall finde not onely them to rebell againe but the Spaniards then landed and had got footing in Ireland but were with great losse to them driven out with many other remarkable Passages worthy memory by all true spirited English men I could much inlarge my selfe in these Historicall observations and make them very fitly applicable to the Coelestiall Motions of the superiours Starres and Planets I suppose what hath already been spoke will suffice to informe any man of understanding I do not say that because there hath such such things happened to such and such places when such and such Conjunctions and Aspects of the Planets or Eclipses have been that the like must necessarily happen there againe at the like Congresse of the Heavenly bodyes No. Ipse Opifex Rerum voluit haec ordinatissima Coelicorpora esse in Signa tempora dies Annos God the Creator of all things willeth that these orderly Heavenly Bodyes shall be for Signes times dayes and yeares Rideat igitur qui velit cum suo detrimento summo cum periculo conjuncto abiiciat securè superbè contemnat has qualescunque significationes Coelestes Deus se derideri non patietur Phryx non emandatur nisi plagie Prudentiores facilè hinc haud dubie Divinitus admoneri se animadvertent ut discant matura poenitentia vera conversione ardenti pietate ad Deum confugere antevertere praecavere Iram Dei horrendam adversus nostra multiplicia peccata paenarum futurarum gravitatem The Irish have ever beene most rebellious and treacherous to the English Nation and of late have most barbarously and inhumanely murthered many thousand innocent soules Now they are at the height of their cruelty and God is powring out his overflowing cuppe of wrath and vengeance upon them and their adherents Jamque securis ad radicem posita est ut in frugisera arbor excidatur in ignem conjiciatur When God threatens a Nation People or Family he divers wayes forewarnes them before he sends his Judgements upon them sometimes in the sea upon the land in monstrous births in the fire by strange apparitions unusuall tempests sometimes by Comets in blazing Starres very often by Eclipses of the Sun and Moone and more usually by the Configurations of the Planets amongst themselves and the Hebdomaticall Lunations which if men would search into they might observe most excellent matters to contemplate upon and raise their thoughts to an exceeding height of Admiration of the most wonderfull workes of the omnipotent Creatour I doe much wonder at the harsh unadvised censure of many men Divines and otherwise learned enough that say nothing can be foreseene by the starres or their configuration I must tell them Astrology is as ancient as our first Parents but the Antiquity of it doth not alone worke upon me that it is allowed by Universities Princes Sages Philosophers from the first Infancie of the world to this very time and will be admired as long as the Sun Moone and Stars move in the Heavens It depends upon as good grounds as any Art It deales not by signes and effects but by causes whereof the motions configurations and positions of the Heavenly Bodyes are grounded upon Mathematicall demonstrations and the propertyes or virtue of the Heavenly Influence upon the observation or knowne experience of great learned men even from the beginning of the world And if the Divine will doe not counterchecke the ordinary course of nature or the matter of those Elementary Bodies here beneath be not unproportionable and thereby unapt to receive their impressions there is no reason why in a naturall and physicall necessity Astrologicall Predictions made according to Art should not succeede and take effect It deales not with rare contingents unknowne or undeterminate But with these things which fall out for the most part such as are performed by Art
