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
