the Eleventh day of June last a little before Midnight NExt to the Holy Writ Phylosophy Speculative and Practical is the only means to let us know that God hath left a lively Inscription of his Finger upon all his works not Graphical by a Literal Composition of Letters or Characters but Mystical of the several forms orders and constitutions of things which aptly and duely put together Spells all the effects of nature as Number Measure Weight Quantity Quality Matter Form Privation Generation Corruption Motion Rest Soul Body Life and Death and after the same Pylosophical method though in a more holy sense the Wise Omnipotent calls the Stars by their Names and by the same Mystical order did Adam give each Creature a name peculiar to its nature in Paradice and nature doth then most visibly shew the Treasures of her fertility when she doth unbosom her self to the whole World by diversities of Phaenomina's whose nature and effects are only examinable by Natural Phylosophy and therefore take this short account of their generation and and existence before I come to speak in particular to the Astrological effects hence depending The cause and generation of these Mock-Moons is the same with the Parelii or Mock-Suns for as the Mock-Suns are called Parelii from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 so these are called Paraselene from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and although this is not so much taken notice of as the Parelii it being an accident of the lesser Luminary yet it is from the same Cause of the same Nature though less forcible in effect and of the same name also the particulars considered they being both the effect of Refraction Reflection whose subject matter is a Cloud that is thick plain and watery and the Air quiet and free from Wind for a turbulent Air dissipates the matter that produceth the Reflection and this is the second of this kind of Phasma's that have been seen since Christmas last the first of which was seen the sixth day of January about Eleven of the Clock at Night and was observed by divers sufficient men of Hereford but especially by Mr. Mathews a very Ingenious Gentleman the last of these hapned the Eleventh of June last a little before Midnight But besides these two Phasma's there were also two others before of the Sun seen in England the first of which happened the 28th day of July about Eight of the Clock in the Morning and was seen in Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire Thus the true Sun had on each side of it another like it with a Circle passing through the Center of the two Mock-Suns and a right Line passing through them all three The other happened October the 10 day about four in the Afternoon and was observed at Windsor the true Sun being Besieged by two false ones and one of them exceeded the true one in Light and Glory Upon this occasion I took the pains to write a few Sheets upon the then present Affairs and what might in a course of nature be expected the Winter following but Authority would not afford me the Liberty of the Press and so my Labours were doom'd to Oblivion but of these former ones I have given a better Account in my Almanack for 1680 and thither do I refer my Reader for further satisfaction and hasten to my Astrological Discourse upon this Phaenomenon deduced from a Figure erected to the middle of their appearance as near as can be gotten from those divers relations of its Spectators that is 50 Minutes after Eleven of the Clock at Night Figura Caeli ad tempus Parasalence ad Jun. 11. hor. 11. min. 50 M.

So. 3d 14 I have the rather taken this pains at this time because his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 happened so unhapily upon the Suns entrance into Cancer the most Northern point of the whole Zodiack and the Stars so unfortunately placed as you may see Saturn is in Conjunction with the Sun and both in Opposition to the Medium Caeli the Moon in Conjunction with the Scorpions heart in Square to Mars and Opposition of Mercury Jupiter in the Horoscope in partile Square to Venus in the sixth house and Mercury Lord of the fourth in Square to Mars Lord of the first and eight With these consider also the double bodied Signs Saturn afflicts the Sun in Gemini a double bodied Sign the Moon and Mercury are both afflicted in double bodied Signs by Mars Lord of the eight house and Pisces a Bicorporeal Sign ascends the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 hence may an ordinary Astrologer with little consideration give a rational satisfactory judgment upon this Figure as it concerns the general Affairs the next six months succeeding and more which will afford matter enough for the Actors and Spectators of this Tragy-comedy to gaze at For the World is but the vast universal Theater and men and women the Puppets with which the Fates sport themselves Ludit in humanis divina potentia rebus This ensuing Judgment may be divided into two Parts as it were under two Heads viz. General and Particular First in General the first thing considerable is Saturn in the fourth house casting his Square to the Ascendant and his Opposition to the tenth and by his proximity afflicts the Sun this old Gentleman Saturn in this Figure performs the place and business of a common incendiary he whispers to one and he writes to another and indeed he disturbs the peace of all sure he should be a Jesuit or one indued with such principles by his action and endeavour here he disturbs the minds of Nobles he poisons the hearts of the people and he sets them against their Superiors for here you see he is in direct Opposition to the tenth house the house of dignity and if there be difference between his Opposition and the tenth house it is yet applying by reason of his Latitude but yet as Saturn and the Sun are the only Stars angular in this Figure and both within Orbs of the Sextile of Jupiter so there shall be some who on the other side will use their utmost endeavour to preserve Peace and security to prevent dangers and preserve their Prince in safety as Guido Bonat well observes part 4. chap. 59. In the Preventional New Moon Saturn was directly opposite to his place here and the Sun and Moon also upon the place of the last Conjunction of Saturn and Mars hasting to a Conjunction of Saturn in the tenth House and at the ingress of the Sun into Cancer they were both in Conjuction upon the

cause some hurry and molestation about Religion in the World the fifteenth year always after his Conjunction with Jupiter and perhaps this may better satisfie the Reader if he considers the years 1578 1598 1618 1638 1658. and lastly the year 1678. with what Aspects then happened relating to the several Countries according to the place where their Aspects happen and that when they chance to fall in Gemini Sagitarius Aries or Libra with their Quadrangles they concern England and particularly when their Aspects happen in humane Signes they then work upon men and their actions at home but if in Quadrupedian Signes then their effects are Extraneous and Forreign but of this matter some examples will more perfectly illustrate the Discourse Anno 1563. In August there was a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Cancer after which followed that third Bloody War in France about Religion and the Dukes d' Alva made horrible work in the Low Countries And the Massacre in France suceeded also Anno 1578. Being 15 years after the Conjunction Saturn came to the Opposition hereof and Mars was that year in August in Quartile to Saturn and in Opposition to Jupiter and the Sun Pope Gregory the 13. Conspired with the Spaniards to Depose Queen Elizabeth and to restore the Romish Religion and to this purpose one Stukely an English Fugitive was sent with 800 Italians to Invade Ireland and joyn there with the Popish Rebels who in 1579. did many Murders Anno 1581. Edmond Campian the Jesuit was Executed with others and new Laws made against the Papists Mars that year did transite Gemini and in July Mercury in Leo passed by the Opposition of Saturn in Aquarius Anno 1583. There was a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Pisces and in July Mars being in Virgo passed by the Opposition of them both and shortly after Francis Throckmorton Esq was Executed for contriving the death of the Queen and shortly after William Parrey for a Fact of the same kind together with a horrid Plot discovered by one Creighton a Scotch Jesuit who was taken upon the Seas by Dutch Pirates of the Pope and the Spaniards Resolution to Invade England By the Parliament this year were all forbid to Harbour Papists who were commanded to depart the Realm in 40 days Anno 1588. When that so well known damnable design of the Spaniards was put in practice against England there was a Conjunction of Saturn Mars the Sun and Mercury in Taurus Yet without doubt this was but the effect of the last Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Pisces with some other causes advanced by the Opposition of Saturn and Mercury from Aries and Libra in 1585. and their Conjunction in Aries 1386. These without doubt were the Causes of those disturbances in those years by Mr. Babington Giffard a Priest Ballard a Priest and Hodgon one of the same Trade together with l'Aubespine the French Ambassador all contriving the Queens death Anno 1589. The Papists again endeavour to Invade England again by the means of Bruse a Priest and Creighton a Jesuit who drawed Huntley Arral Crawford by perswasion into Arms but were by the care of King James prevented Saturn was now in Gemini in Opposition to Mars in Sagitary and Jupiter in Virgo in Square to Saturn and shortly after Mars in Pisces near the place of the former Conjunction in Square to Saturn Anno 1594. Doctor Lopar was Executed undertaking to Poison the Queen and Cullen York and Williams were apprehended for undertaking to Burn the Fleet with Fire Balls there was then in July a Conjunction of the Moon Saturn Mars Venus and Mercury in Leo in Opposition to Jupiter Mars at the time of the Conjunction was very near the Lyons-heart Anno 1597. Saturn comes to the opposite place of the last Conjunction in Square to Mars in Gemini Edward Squire was Executed for endeavouring to Poison the Pommel of the Queens Saddle and the Pommel of the Earl of Essex's Chair To this he was perswaded by Walpoole the Jesuit who gave him this Benediction God bless thee and give thee strength my Son and give thee good courage I pawn my Soul for thine and thou shalt have my Prayers dead and alive Anno 1603. June there was an Opposition of Saturn and Mercury from Sagitary and Gemini upon which Opposition there was a horrible Plot discovered against King James Those concerned were the Lord Cobham the Lord Gray of Wilton Sir Walter Rawleigh Sir Griffin Markham Sir Edward Parham Brook Brooksby Copley Watson and Clark Priests Their Indictment was for Conspiring the Kings death to raise Rebellion to alter Religion to subvert the State and procure Forreign Invasion They were all found guilty but Parham of whom there were but three put death that is Clark Brooks and Watson who was the man that drew all the rest into the Plot. Anno 1603. There was a Conjuncton of Saturn and Jupiter in Sagitary and from that time to the end of June following Mercury was in Libra which was the space of seven Months and in October following Mars came to a Conjunction of them both in Sagitary there was now a great Plague in England most part of this year 1604. under the influence of these Positions they laid the ensuing Plot to blow up the Parliament House And in 1605. when Mars came to an Opposition of Saturn from Gemini and Sagitary in June they began to fall close to their work and to hasten the bringing in of their materials to perform their design And near the end of October Mercury came into Virgo to a Square of Saturn and suddenly after the whole Plot was discovered in which was Winter Fauks Keys Bates Winter Graunt Rookwood Digby all which were Executed and suddenly after Garnet the Provincial of the English Jesuits was Executed also at which time there was also Proclamation for all Jesuits Priests and Friers to depart the Land upon pain of death Anno 1610. In the beginning of the year there w●● 〈◊〉 Opposition of Jupiter and Mars from Gemini and Sagitary there was now new Proclamation put forth to command all Roman Priests and Jesuits to depart the Kingdom by the fourth of July following upon pain of death Anno 1618. Which was the fifteenth year after the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in June there was a Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in the beginning of Gemini within six degrees of the opposite point of the last Conjunction and Jupiter at that time in Square to them both At this time not only England but divers parts beyond Sea are in a general disturbance about Religion the Pope perswades the Papists to keep a day of Jubilee and to implore Gods assistance to the Catholick Cause the Elector of Saxony at that time remembring that it was 100 years since Luther opposed the Popes power he ordained a solemn Feast of three days for Thanksgiving to God for their deliverance from the Tyranny of Rome to this the Universities of
