of the Moon at the beginning on the line of Incidence as he should have done Humanity can but erre therefore let thy pardon argue the greatness of thy humanity since the disease is Epidemical I shall here give you some General Aporisms how to judge of Eclipses 1. Consider what Province or City is signified by the signe the Eclipse happens in and be sure that suffers 2. Consider what Kingdoms or Cities are under the Signe the Lords of the Eclipse are in and be sure their diet is served them with the same sauce 3. Note the nature of the Signe the Eclipse happens in if it be violent as this is the effects of the Eclipse will be the like if it be moveable they begin betimes if firy they signifie War and diseases of heat if fixed the effects though they work slowly yet they work surely if both firy and fixed as that will be 1654. they threaten a Hectick War 4. Take notice of the nature of the Signe if humane men suffer if bestial beasts also and if beasts then of necessity man because he takes his nourishment from beasts And now if I were minded to be critical what a gallant occasion have I Suppose the Signe be watry then quoth my learned Authors the water is afflicted and if the water be afflicted the earth must needs be because it is nourished by the water if the earth be afflicted then beasts because they are nourished by the earth beasts earth and water nourish man and why must not he be afflicted too Either the Signe the Eclipse is in or the Signe the Lords of the Eclipse are in being hot and dry cause corruption by heat and driness if cold and moist by coldness and moisture In this present Eclipse the Signe is hot and dry Saturn in Cancer cold and moist What miracle is it if it drown a Sea-town and consume a Land-town by fire 5. It is probably apparent that one and the same Eclipse may cause driness in one place and moistness in another thunder and lightning in a third earthquakes in a fourth barrenness in a fifth and burnings in a sixth and as many more as God pleases 6. Whatsoever evil falls upon Princes and Magistrates must needs touch the Commonally 7. An Eclipse of the Sun falling upon the angle of the Ascendant of any Nativity kills the native if it fall within three degrees it brings such a disease as cannot be claw'd off again with speed especially if the malevolent beheld the eclipsed Luminary at the Genesis and more probably if the eclipsed Luminaries be with the Dragons tail then if he be with the Dragons head 8. The Dragons head regards Princes most the Dragons tail the Plebeians 9. If between the time of the Eclipse and the effects of the Eclipse a good direction operate in the Nativity of a private person he need fear no evil though the Eclipse threaten him never so sore The curst Cow hath but short horns CHAP. V. A general Iudgment of the Effects of this Eclips AND in handling this I shall give you first the Judgment of Authors upon the Eclips Secondly former examples of Eclipses of like nature Thirdly my own judgment upon it To the first of these namely the judgement of Authors and in the judgment of Authors we have many things to consider As first of all the house of Heaven in which the Eclipse happens which is the tenth house the house of Kings Princes and other potentates and the house of all such as lord it over their brethren the Luminaries Eclipsed in the tenth house foreshowes death or deposition to Kings Princes Magistrates and such as call and account themselves Ecclesiastical persons thus Giuffus and this he confesseth depends upon the will of God and so it doth and yet it were wisdom for so many of them as lie under the lash of this Eclips which who they be more anon they have timely admonition and a woful experience given them in Isa. 5. 12 13 14 15. and 16 verses and a joyful promise to them that fear God in the 17. verse They regard not the works of the Lord nor consider the operation of his hands therefore my people are gone into captivity because they have no knowledge and their honorable men are famished and their multitudes are dried up with thirst Therefore the grave hath enlarged her self and opened her mouth without measure and their glory and their multitude and their pomp and he that rejoyceth shall descend into it And the mean man shall be brought down and the mighty man shall be humbled and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled But the Lord of Hosts shall be exalted in judgment and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness Father of mercy look down upon all those Magistrates that fear thy name thou knowest what man is thou knowest he is but dust and what can I say to the Magistracy of this Nation any more then what Daniel said to Nebuchad nezzar pray do not mistake me I do not liken you to Nebuchad nezzar nor my self to Daniel yet this I say these things were writ for our instruction upon whom the ends of the world are come if you will keep your places you must know that THE HEAVENS DO RULE Daniel 4. 27 Wherefore Oh KINGS and MAGISTRATES let my counsel be acceptable to you break off your sins by righteousness and your iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor it may be a lengthning of your tranquility I am sure it might have been had that course been taken in time had your PRIESTS discreetly handled according to the genuine meaning of the holy Ghost these two Scriptures this and that I quoted to you in Isaiah when they thundred out with a terrible voice Curse yee Meroz curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof c. How happy might it have been for this poor Nation how happy had all the Princes in Europe been if their lazy Clergy had done the like But the greatest part of that generation now living in Europe follow the example of Priests of Bell in the Apochripha eat and drink of the best live idlely and deceive their Princes You may remember I left you before at Isaiah 5. the 16. verse the 17. verse gives comfort to them that fear God and uprightly serve him for when the Lord shall have brought to pass what he threatned in the former verses Then saith he shall the lambs feed after their maner and the wast places of the fat ones shall strangers eat Indeed the truth is a general peace may be expected throughout the Earth now blush for shame all you that rail and scould at Astrology when you see the times of the book of the Scripture and the book of the Creatures end in a Centre And thus much for the house afflicted In the second place we come to the Planet afflicted and the sign he is afflicted in The Planet afflicted is the ☉ what his signification was I

own birth-rights and the heavy yoak William the Bastard laid upon us taken off and should be glad if we could obtain that only this I desire of Doctor Gell whom I honor both for his learning and piety when God did divide Nations according to the number of the Angels whether he gave All to some and None at all to the rest whether he left any poor in the land unprovided for whether he made them not All Free-holders and leave him to be answered by his own conscience Thus much for Iupiter I come now to Mars and I shall be the more large in him because he is the chief significator of the effects of this Eclipse This world as it stands in statu quo makes a difference between rich and poor men and when a man hath pickt up a great deal of well-concocted earth I am a better man then thou quoth he though perhaps the birth and breeding of the other be ten times better then this but as the Grave equals all men so do Celestial influences nay I will tell you more then this Magistrates are grown to such a terrible hight of Pride that this Eclipse will teach them that the Lord knows the proud afar off Miserable and sad are the effects of the Eclipse like to be when the two infortunes are Lords of it and so they are in this but what their operation will be I am now to speak of only in the general and I will prefix this Scripture in the front of it Psal. 28. 5. If they regard not the works of the Lord nor the operations of his hand he will pull them down and not build them up Mars is the chief Lord of the Eclipse and you shall see what a kinde of creature he is he is a hot and dry firy burning Planet an angry conquering creature destructive to nature he is so angry that he will hear no reason the Priest with his Rhetorick in the Pulpit cannot move him neither doth he regard the Lawyer that pleads at the bar all the Sophistry in Oxford and Cambridge will not be able to qualifie his anger in the effects of this Eclipse but are all like to feel his fury he layes out all his strength in what he doth or in what he delighteth to do his natural disposition is to set people together by the ears I may say of him as Virgil said of Alecto Tu potes unanime is armare in praelia fratres Atque odiis versare domos tu verberatect is Funereasque inferre faces tibi nomina mille Mille nocendi artes faecundum concute pect us Disjice compositam pacem sere crimina belli Arma velit poscatque simul rapiatque juventus The dearest knots of friendship he unties And utterly subverts whole families With dismal funerals and bitter wrath A thousand names a thousand arts he hath To break sweet peace by his impetuous charmes The Youth desire and crave and handle armes Look you here now what a master the eternal God of heaven and earth hath appointed you over this Eclipse one that delights in nothing in the world but killing and murdering setting people together by the ears quarrelling folly and impatience vehement anger one that neither fear nor entreaty is able to hold or retard from sowing the seed of sedition and war when he sets upon it Saturne I told you before was another Lord of the Eclipse and Mars is exalted in the house of Saturne as though both the malevolents were conjoyned to execute the will of God in the destroying effects of this Eclipse Mars is of that nature that he will run on right or wrong and never regard what the end will be He causes infirmities and sicknesses diminution of substance madness and revenge thunder and lightening and what else can terrific the mindes of the giddy-headed multitude But in this Eclipse because Venus is neer him she will somewhat qualifie his malice I shall shew you hereafter how and in what manner onely in this place what the general disposition of Venus is that so I may hold to what I promised onely generals Venus is a Planet cold and moist fortunate merry and jocund I would we of the Commonalty of England had cause so to be we shall have we must have they had as good let us have it at first as at last the heavens promise it us and it is in vaine for man to domineer Heu nihil invitis fas quemquam credere divis Th' effects of this Eclipse shall clearly prove 'T is vaine to strive against the powers above Besides this by her coldness and moisture she somewhat tempers the hot and dry disposition of Mars and if we bring it home to this Eclipse she orders him having gotten him in her house she loves singing and banquetting and drinking and venerial vices diseases that come therefrom and therefore in this Eclipse she hath got a sit companion in her house cut out for the purpose Mars and she usually cause whoredom and sometimes a knock with a French colt-staffe she gives very good words and is very meek of nature she will give good words to the poor because they are cheap and cost nothing she is an enemy to Saturne though she give him an exaltation in her house I will leave Venus and come to Mercury Mercury loves all Arts and hath gotten a special command over all Clerks Accomptants and he is of a convertible nature just like a Priest I should have said a Weather-cock he is masculine with the masculine and feminine with the feminine he is a fortune with the fortunes an infortune with the infortunes he is a bold spoken fellow full of tongue his father was either a Priest or a Lawyer I know not which he is a chearful creature quick in his actions he is a divellish lyar a betrayer as full of deceit as an egg is full of meat he will promise more by a farthing candle then he will perform in seven yeers he signifies windes and in this Eclipse such windes as will rend the stoutest Rocks in Europe in peices These be the Planets which as I shall tell you hereafter have one way or another signification in this Eclipse and there can be no more nor more variety of these significations which I have here delivered I have shewed you here their natures in general I come now to shew you their natures in particular only before this let me premise this one thing the Moon hath a very great signification in the effects of this Eclipse the general signification of which I gave you in the first Chapter the particular signification both of her and other Planets you shall have hereafter when I come to the particular dimension of time in which the effects of this Eclipse are to Operate CHAP.
