much shall serve at this time for the Judgment of these Comets CHAP. XI The Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter October 1682. Astrologically handled THis Conjunction which we are now to handle happeneth to be the fourth Conjunction since their last entrance into this Triplicity the first being in the Year 1603 already handled in the Discourse going before And forasmuch as this Conjunction falls in the Regal Sign Leo of the fiery Triplicity and being the fourth Conjunction they have made therein which Conjunction 1603 being the seventh return into this Triplicity since the Creation of the World and that this Conjunction in Leo being thrice repeated will therefore produce eminent effects and seeing it being a thing impossible to get the true time of the Conjunctions themselves we must content our selves with the times of the New and Full Moons before and after the Conjunction the first Conjunction happeneth about the 17th day of October 1682 the second Conjunction happeneth on or about the 20th of January 1682 3 and the 3d. and last falleth about the 10th of May 1683 according to the Caroline Tables of Thomas Street the full Moon before the Celebration of this Conjunction falls on the 6th day of October at 1 h. 33 m. P.m. and the New Moon following falls on the 20th day of October at 1 h. 41 P.m. the Figures of Heaven are as follow Full Moon Octob. 6. at 1 H. 35 P. M. latt 51.32 New Moom Oct. 20. at 1 H. 41 P. M. latt 51.32 Now Authors tell us that if Saturn and Jupiter be conjoyned in Leo there should be some sturdy Prince that should trouble all his Confederates and that all Princes should grow ravenous and exercise Tyranny over their Subjects and shall endeavour to make himself great by undirect means but in the height of all his greatness vanisheth by sudden death or is much molested by his Vassals leaving his Posterity in a very unsettled condition for although this Trigon breeds valiant Men yet they are extreamly unfortunate and those evils that have a beginning under the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Leo are fixed for a long time for every Prince doth vainly conceit himself to be the only Alexander but their Pride and Vain-glory shall bring themselves and Posterity to a State much worse than their beginning This last Conjunction we had in Leo was that which happened in the Year 1623 and that was followed with the Death of King James 1625 and a great Plague and we have cause to fear the approach of another great Plague in the Year 1683 from which good Lord deliver us for if we do but consider the position of Heaven the Full Moon preceeding this Conjunction you will find that Mars Lord of the 10th in the 8th House in Quartile to Mercury in the great Conjunction and the Sun Lord of the 8th is in Quartile to the Sign Ascending and the Conjunction it self is not far from the 8th House these things make me to judge that we have a Plague very near us and a very great one and that before 1683 be over but I dare not be too positive in such determinations but when I consider the Conjunction it self I find it to fall in the sixth of those places that have Aries for their Ascendant and in the 4th of those that have Gemini therefore let those beware for they are threatned with no less than a Mortality and that a great one which God in his Mercy divert For a preparative to this great Conjunction we have the Sun Ecclipsed upon the 24th day of July at which time Mars Lord of the 7th was in the 10th in Quartile to the Sign Ascending the Eclips falls not far in longated form the place of this Conjunction viz. in or about 11 degrees of Leo Junctinus tells us that when the Sun is eclipsed in the Fiery Triplicity denotes the Banishment of some Great Person with discord and hatred between the People and some great Ruler or Governour many repinings grudgings and dissentions Motions of Armies much War and slaughter of Mankind burning of Houses depopulations of many Countries and Citys very Pestilent Diseases the Eclips it self f●ll in the 10th therefore it will chiefly concern those that are Rulers and Covernours of Towns and Citys The next thing that helps to usher in this Conjunction is the Conjunction of Tory Mars with Jupiter as if he did intend to poysen Justice with a hasty cholerick humour and cause those whose places is to act prudently to act like Mad-men as if they did endeavour to set all in an uproar Mars naturally as he is posited in Leo doth represent Men of a daring Spirit hectoring and bouncing governed too much by their own will and delighting much in quarrelling and can hear of nothing that will please them so much as Wars and Battels and his being in Conjunction with Jupiter makes him have a great shew of Religion with all his actions Let those places under Leo look to it for they are principally concerned yet those places under Aquarius and Scorpio and Taurus will have a great share in these kind of actions I pray God bless the Kingdom of Ireland from unruly actions for they are under Taurus and this Conjunction and all the Conjunctions in Leo are in Quartile to that Sign Upon the 11th day of September 1682 there was a Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in or about the 16 degrees of Leo this Conjunction on of Saturn and Mars falls near the place of the last of the three Conjunctions of Saturn and Jupiter May the 10th 1683 from whence may be expected great Alterations as to Mundane Affairs Mars I find in the Conjunction to be elevated above Saturn having more North latitude than Saturn and Saturn being very weak therefore hath Mars more power than Saturn therefore what is chiefly signified by the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars will be wholly Martial Now if the Ottoman Family had their Rise under the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Scorpio as is verily believ'd it did then that People shall afflict a great part of Christendom for he has lately or will very shortly change his Aphelion into Virgo which doth shew that those People shall move out of their own Country in way of Conquest and shall continue so doing for some years to come even till they have made themselves Masters of great part of Christendome It we consider the quality of Saturn in this Conjunction of Saturn and Mars we shall find Saturn to be very weak for Leo is Saturn detriment and is just like a man that is an Enemy to his own House and Family and one that should seek to destroy his Posterity Saturn generally is the cause of Matters Political and Civil all subtle and Politick Councils deceitful private and cunning Stratagems covetousness self-ends destruction to some Ancient Family and Building as to Laws Liberties Customs and Priviledges depopulations And this he doth signifie in Political Matters In

Ecclesiastical Affairs he portends great Superstition Idolatry Hypocrisie Monkery Jesuitism and all the several Orders of the Church of Rome and he doth signifie all manner of Debauchery and Baseness under Religious Pretences all manner of Sects Schisms Heresies Jewish Superstitions and Ceremonies Unto Mankind in general he threatens great and difficult labour poverty and want to many he afflicts the Body with tedious Infirmities and Diseases as the Consumption in the Reins and inward parts ill and noysome Vapours from whence proceed a Plague Hectick Fevers destruction of Rheum Quartan Agues and such like Diseases as are not easily remedied by the most Skilful Physician he afflicts the Mind with sorrow and fear of lamentable trouble as also Banishment and long imprisonments And as to natural things he portends great want and scarcity destruction of Cattel Corn and Fruits Famine and Mortality unwholesome Airs cold cloudy misty soggy Weather and long and tedious Frosts As to the Sea he signifies Shipwrack and great damage by ruine and decay of Sea banks from whence comes great Inundation of Waters great scarcity of Fish and Fowl that belong to the Waters Of Persons he signifies those of superiour Rank and Quality because he is the highest of all the Planets and moves the slowest and he doth seldom apply to any Planet therefore he signifies great Princes and stable Monarchs but in the general he signifies the laborious Country men Husbandmen Farmers Yeomen c. And in this Conjunction he signifies a deceitful sordid pernicious sort of People who will inhabit in the Court of Princes and Kings who will undermine and subvert the more wholesome purposes intended but I say all these sort of People shall suffer great loss of their Estates and shall obtain in the room thereof unexpected Slaughters Imprisonments Banishments and the like The last time we had Mars in Conjunction of Saturn in Leo was the 10th of August 1650 the December following we had a Comet appeared and I have good reason to predict the appearance of more Comets before 1683 be over let any one but look into the Annals for 1653 and 1654 and they will find what followed that Conjunction 1652 but seeing that the effects of this Conjunction of Saturn and Mars can't last but for two years and Mars being swift in motion at the time of the Conjunction even so shall all that is portended by this Conjunction be as swift in motion viz. Armies shall run like Lightning over a great many Countrys of Europe and shall bring more under subjection in 2 years than any Armies have done for this ten years last past and forasmuch as Christianity was first preacht by Christ our Saviour under the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Leo and now Mars being in Conjunction in this Sign with Saturn and having of the greater power will afflict Christianity with the Sword more than ordinary At the time of this famous Conjunction we find Mars newly entered into Virgo in Quartile to the great Conjunction 1603 and moveth but slowly from whence the evils signified by Mars to be of long continuance viz. War and Bloudshed Virgo is held to be sign of the Conjunction before the coming in of the Normans and Mars hath not been in Virgo in neither of the Conjunctions since 1603 therefore may more than ordinary events follow the more because Mars before the second Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter January 1682 3 will pass the Quartile of Saturn and Jupiter 1603 and also the Quartile of Saturn Jupiter and the New Star 1604 and the Quartile of Sol and Venus and the Opposition of the Moon 1603 and comes to the Conjunction of his own place 1603 and all before Saturn and Jupiter meets the second time let but any one consider the position of Mars the first time the two Superiours meet and they will find cause enough to dread the evils of Mars Now Mars being placed in the 9th from the Conjunction 1603 and meeting with the Quartile of Mercury Lord thereof first all those places that are under the gubernation of Mercury will feel the smart of the influence of Mars now because Mercury is posited in Sagitarius in the great Conjunction and Mars casting his Square there out of the 9th of that Conjunction those places shall feel the heavy effect of Mars viz. Wars now the places under Sagitarius are Spain Dalmatia Sclavonia Hungary Moravia with abundance of more Countrys and Cities that are under the position of Sagitarius for their Ascendant these places must expect to have great Calamity some of them shall suffer by Invasion others by Plague others by Famine and a great destruction of Mankind in general Mereury generally signifies all manner of Arts and Sciences as also Merchants these sorts of Men must expect to be great sufferers by the power of Mars viz. great Storms from whence comes great Shipwracks Mercury and Gemini govern Flanders part of England and Lumbardy Brabant the Dukedom of Wertenburgh London Corduha in Spain Bruges in Flanders Mentz and a many more places that are not yet attributed to Gemini in these places may expect to have Commotions for Mars is the stirrer up of Wars damnable Seditions Tumults Insurrections the frowns and indignation of Princes towards their Subjects caused by Mars he being Lord of the 11th and 12th of the great Conjunction 1603 and is placed near the Cusp of the 10th of that Conjunction he doth by the Positions represent Noblemen that should be in great favour of Princes but are great enemies of the People in general if we place Gemini upon the Cusp of the Ascendant we shall find the Tory Mars to be placed in fifth in Quartile to the Sign Ascending he being Lord of the 12th and in his last Conjunction with Jupiter in Leo he opposed the 10th what can we expect from hence but that Mars should act like a Tory as he is among the Stars setting all together by the Ears and that now publickly in those places under Gemini and he will be as well rewarded for his pains for Mars is placed in the Eighth the House of Death of the Full Moon preceding the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter 1682 if we place Aries upon the Ascendant we shall find both the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars and Jupiter and Mars and Jupiter fall all of them in the 6th in Quartile to the intercepted Sign Taurus in the Ascendant and the Sun Lord of the 6th having lately suffered an Eclipse in the 6th all these will cause both the great and small Cattle to suffer by Diseases to the detriment of the Country Farmer that lives in those Countrys subject to the Sign Aries the more because Mars is in Quartile to the second if we consider the place where Mars casteth his Opposition we shall find it to be in Pisces and Pisces is assigned by Astrologers to govern Portugal Galitia Normandy with the Citys of Rhems Worms and Ratisbon and many more places this
