The second part of Mene tekel, treating of the year MDCLXXXIX. : And modestly shewing what may probably be conjectured to succeed in the affairs of Europe in general, and of England, Holland, Scotland, and France in particular; with something also about the affairs of Ireland, and the French King's forces there. : To which is added a treasonable paper dispersed among the papists, by J. Gadbury, with some reflections thereon, and also on his almanack for 1689. / By John Partridge.	Partridge, John, 1644-1715.; Gadbury, John, 1627-1704.	1689 (1689)	Wing P619A; ESTC R203323	33,895	50

Sun in a certain Persons Nativity who is now in Tribulation At the Postventional Full Moon we find there the Moon to be separating from the Square of Mars and applying to the Body of the Sun and next after that to the Square of Saturn the Sun is in Domo Octava and the Moon in Secunda and she in that part of Heaven having at the Full Moon five degrees of South Latitude made her within Rays of the Square of Saturn so that we may conclude both the Preventional New and Postventional Full Moons do exactly agree with the Figure of the Ingress here before us and do really agree in describing the Circumstantial Adjuncts likely to attend this Quarter which is indeed like to be ushered in with Violence and violent Actions and therefore let those that are like to suffer therein take care how they manage their ticklish Fortune for here is such Work approaching that is not to be dallied with and he that once plays and loseth seldom or never comes to his Stake again Having already said how the Preventional and Postventional New and Full Moon agree with the Figure of the Ingress I come now to insist on the Figure it self and the various Positions Aspects c. therein contained And the first thing to be considered is what is like to be the Effects of this Quarter in the general for here we find as perhaps some will say no Extraordinary Positions to give Violence because the Sun is in Trine to Jupiter and Saturn and the Moon in no evil Aspect except by her Latitude in Opposition to Jupiter from the first and seventh houses And now going to the Sextile of Saturn and the Sun all that is may they say is the Sun in square to Mars in the Ascendent Alas they that expect to find Causes in Mundane Ingresses to predict or forshew Actions of that kind of quality that we must now expect are extreamly deceived and cheated for in all things of this Nature we must first consider the Motion of the Superiors Saturn and Jupiter for they are the Salt or Leaven of the World and from their Motion proceeds the variety of those Causes which Mankind oftentimes so severely feels and indeed it is that and that only which is equal in another branch of this Study to the primary Directions and these Ingresses are but like Revolutions that may either abate or aggravate the Direction in its time and quality of Operation but whether the Revolution or Ingress concur or not the Direction certainly works without it and therefore we are not beholden to the Figure of the Ingress for discovering to us the Cause of Mutations Wars c. but the time when God and Nature think fit to obtrude them upon us Hence therefore be pleased to consider that there have been three Squares of Saturn and Jupiter and the last of them was last January Saturn being then in Square and Jupiter in Opposition to the last Conjunction in ♌ in the year 1682 / 3 and this also on the place and square to it of the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in October preceding and in the end of March last there was also a Square of Saturn and Mars the latter of which was then in Opposition to the place of the last Conjunction and to the Ecliptical place of the Moon in this Figure and you see that altho matters and things have been working yet they have not produced any thing material more than preparation for Action and Things of a greater Nature and this not only in this part of Europe but also in Spain and Germany and the parts adjacent There are other things that are to be considered in this Judgment but because they will occasionally fall in with other matters in this discourse therefore I omit to mention them for these are the principal that I have already noted and according to the Method I and all others that pretend to Astrology do or ought to proceed in their judging Mundane Revolutions concerning Wars Plagues Mutations of Government Abdication of Kings Plenty Famine c. Therefore in the first place we shall confider what may be the Consequence of this triple Square of Saturn and Jupiter of which the two first were from Libra and Capricorn the one an Equinoctial and the other a Tropical Sign but the last was from Scorpio and Aquary two fixed rough succedent Signs from whence I draw this Judgment that the first two thirds of their Effects shall be quick noble and glorious mighty things soon dispatch'd and done and the reason is because they were from Cardinal Signs but the last part will be slow tedious and full of labour apt to go sometimes backwards and sometimes forward and variety of success attend it Now for a proof of this let us look back to the Conjunction of the two Superiors in 1623 in Leo and observe when they made their Square which was but a single one and that from the Ends of Libra and Capricorn in the Month of February in the year 1629 and compare that and its Effects then with these three now and the prospect of things likely to attend us at this time and then say whether like Causes have not like Effects for in 1629 the Hollanders took the Hertogenbosch stom the Spaniards and also many of their Ships the Janizaries quarrel with the Grand Signior the Polanders make peace with the Sweeds A Great Diet at Prague the Kings of England and France make peace having together destroyed the poor Protestants at Rochel The French make great preparations of War against Italy and in the beginning of the Next year the King of Swedland did Invade the Empire and took Francfort upon Odor and Lantsberg c. How England stood affected at that time and what the Designs of the then King were your own Histories will inform you I have onely given you those that were forreign Thus you see the same Kingdoms and Countries were concerned in Action at that time as are now but the Quarrels and pretences different yet the Popish Crew then in Spain France and Germany were for rooting out the Protestants and the Protestant Religion and yet we even we are for succouring and defending them tho I thank God I am of another perswasion These things considered are sufficient to prove the Position that I laid down before that like Causes have like Effects and that the Motion of the Superior Stars are to be considered in the publick Affairs of the World c. But I must turn into my way again this discourse being not exactly pertinent to the Affairs in Hand Haly an old Arabian and one well acquainted with this kind of Doctrine tell us Significat quod existant rebelles qui adversabuntur regie qui quaerunt regnum Etian significat Mutationes res multas in negotiis regis similiter in Lege says he the Square of Saturn and Jupiter signifies that people shall rise against their King and

must we revert into Popery and put our Lives into our Enemies hands again to give them an Opportunity to try their good Nature and see whether they will Cut our Throats or not possibly it may pass upon and among Passive-Obedience-Men but never upon me and I hope many more However I doubt not but these Things will be proved when it is convenient In the mean Time God bless them that take care to secure the Nation against Popery and Tyranny and assure yourselves they that will not believe the pretended Prince of Wales to be Supposititious before 't is proved will as much doubt it then and so of the rest for they are certainly Favorers of that pious Cause These were good humble People before and then the Prince of Orange was an Angel to them but now I hear that they talk so unreasonable as if they seem'd to long to be sent to Prison and Secured and indeed they do not stick to say the Government dares not meddle with them But I shall say no more to these ungrateful Persons but this that their present Majesties are our Lawful King and Queen that they are Protestants and have promised and sworn to defend our Liberties and Religion and all that are Protestants are bound by the Laws of God and Nature to stand by and defend them to the utmost of their power and he that is not of this Opinion neither deserves their Protection nor their Permission to live in their Dominions but like Cain to be driven forth and be a Vagabond on the Earth as he was Now the God of Heaven preserve King William and Queen Mary our Lawful Soveraigns and give them plentifully of his Spiritual Wisdom that they may govern us according to his Will let them live long and happy and become a Terror to all their and our Enemies and as God hath given a signal Testimony to us by them and the great Miracle they have wrought in our Deliverance so let us always sincerely implore the Throne of Grace to defend them all their days and when this Life shall end to make them partakers of his Eternal Bliss for ever and ever So wisheth J. P. A Copy of a Malicious Paper given forth among the Papists by that grand Impostor and Apostate J. Gadbury a litele before the Prince landed in these words following 1. THe Prince of Orange hath an Effeminate Geniture and therefore can never prove a Conqueror 2. He is under a most malicious Revolution at the present as having a Square of Mars and Mercury therein as in his Radix denoting much Treachery to be acted not only by but against him I conceive the Dutch are weary of him and also of the English Renegado Rebels and therefore make use of him as the Munkey did of the Cats Foot viz. at once to disembogue themselves of the said Rebels whose Company renders them obnoxious to so great a Prince as the King of England and likewise to be totally rid of Him without Dewitting him 3. His Hylegical Directions are pernicious he hath lately passed M. C. to the Square of the Moon a Direction of fixed Malice but could not work his Ruine because the Moon delights in Taurus the place of the Direction But he is under at present his Horoscope to the Square of Jupiter and the Sun of a violent Influence and Import in earnest as happening in Opposition to the Pleiades a turbulent and violent Constellation 4. At this very time when his Maritine Busse and Preparation is at the greatest the Moon his own and Nations Planet is eclipsed in Aries an Equinoctial Sign and the Horoscope of England viz. under the Dominion of England's Soveraign 5. And if he go on Ship-board on Monday next the Moon will be in Taurus in Opposition to the Sun and Jupiter in his own Geniture and this among the Pleiades also and likewise in Opposition to a powerful Mars in Scorpio in a Figure of Heaven that greatly favours England and all its present Affairs which seriously considered with the Revolutions Directions and Eclipses before noted is an absolute Prodromus of his Ruine according to natural Causes and in little time in case of Invasion we shall hear of his and his Party 's total Overthrow and Destruction Probably some of his great ones and perhaps Himself will be brought against their Will to make Speeches at Tower-hill and at Tyburn c. 6. England was invaded by the Spaniard in 1588 but what did they get by it their Armado was ruined and this Noble Nation was quickly rid of its pestiferous Enemies and so I doubt not by God's Blessing but 't will be so again in 1688 the English Nation is wise tho stubborn and will sooner submit to a merciful pious Prince they know than come under the Yoke of a Conqueror Some short Animadversions thereon HIS first Paragraph is needless for the Prince now our King did not come to Conquer but to Deliver the Nation from Popery and Tyranny and also to preserve the Peoples Throats from being cut In his second the King is mightily beholden to him for his modest Simily of comparing him to the Cats Foot do but observe the Malice of the Fellow in what scandalous Terms he useth one of the greatest Princes in Europe and how he licks the Popish Fops up with Oil of Fool for the Dutch were not as he calls it obnoxious afraid of the then King of England and the reason was because they knew him better than to fear him But pray you John why the Cats Foot is it a Popish Witticism or hath the Cat deserved ill of Mother Church for I see you use it out of Contempt because you gave it to the then Prince of Orange and I suppose you thought by giving the Prince ill Names your then Client the Popish Lady to whom you gave that Lying Paper would more willingly part with her Mony but this is no News for it shews you to be Honest John Gadbury still let what Religion will come thou wilt be sure to be on the rising side You know at that time you could give no Protestant a good word and I wonder you used the Prince so kindly and you know John when it was the fashion to whip honester Men than your self for less Crimes than this His third Paragraph shews not only his Malice but his Ignorance also in Astrology for the first Direction he speaks of hath been over this 20 Years and the second will not come up these 20 Years yet to come but suppose it were true where is the violent Effect he so idly talks of This is like his Story of Sir Frechvil Holles and just as true for he promised him he should live 20 Years and he was kill'd within six Months after Ah Jack thy Astrology is as true as thy Religion thou art an Infallible Tool In his fourth he hath strain'd his Nonsence to a Miracle for none but J. Gad. did ever give that Judgment of an Eclipse in

Aries as you may read in Cardan Seg. 5. Aphor. 45. where he tells us that it signifies the Multitude i. e. that Captain Tom should do the Nation Justice upon Popish Offenders was it so or not John Lying is an inherent Faculty and thou canst not leave it But in his fifth there he hath shewed himself to a hair for first he falsly imagines a Cause to build his malicious and bloody Prediction upon without Cause and what was this for why it was to support and incourage his treasonable Party and Popish Crew in their further Attempts to destroy the Protestants and Protestant Religion And pray observe how confidently the Fellow tells his Party that in case of Invasion for he and they too knew there was no danger without that they should certainly hear of the Prince and the rest of the Peers and Gentlemen being beaten taken and brought to make Speeches at Towerhill and Tyburn this was not spoke by Chance or in Discourse but with premeditated Malice against his Majesty and the Protestants and with his earnest Hopes desires and wishes to see it accomplished for in all Times and under all Governments he is certainly a Villain to the height and always of the same Religion that the chief of the Government are of And do you but count how many Changes there have been in the English Government in point of Worship especially since the Year 1645 or 6 and just so often hath honest John changed his Perswasion in Religion and once more that was when he turned Ranter and should the Great Turk come he would take up his old Topick i.e. That God always sends a King of that Religion which he expects the People should be of Now the Question is whether John Gadbury the Parson of Putney and Harry Hills ever intend to dye Martyrs These are three special Fellows But now John suppose his Majesty should turn the Tables and as you have doom'd him to make a Speech at Towerhill he should send you to make a Speech at Tyburn or what is according to your late Mode let you walk from Aldgate to Tyburn having a Man go behind you to brush the Dust and the Flies off from your Back on your way and this I am sure you deserve if not for that yet for your now preaching up Sedition to amuse his Majesties Subjects and carry on the Popish Cause for there are divers Ladies that I have spoke with that say they have heard you tell it confidently that the Abdicated King would be here by Midsummer and you advised the Papists to use their Interest accordingly nay I have heard the same from some Papists also and I can bring them to your Face but they are People of more Honour than to turn Evidences you know who you have told it to tho perhaps not how many Ah John thou art not only an Ill Perfidious Traiterous Sycophantizing Scorpionist but a notorious Liar also thy very Nativity bespeaks thee to be all this and from your own Rules too But prithee John why Towerhill and Tyburn you see your cursed Crew are not so dealt with tho you deserve it far more but indeed Whipping-posts Jailes and Gibbets were the common Favours you Papists did use to bestow on the Protestants at that time and we know it will be the same again if ever they get the Power and for that reason John I am for your having a taste of it now to try the Experiment In the last Paragraph he draws a Parallel between the Invasion in 1588 and 1688 and tells you he doubts not but to see the last prove as the first did Now John are you not ashamed how can you look any Gentleman in the Face without blushing after all this Trick Cheat and Lying But prithee John consider that the Invasion of 1588 was to bring in Popery and this of 1688 was to kick it out in both which you see the Judgment of an angry God against their Idolatry and Lying which you blasphemously call Religion Again John prithee how did you look when you call'd James your King a merciful pious Prince I confess Cabinet Jones gave him that Character when he wrote to us at Amsterdam but no body believed him because we knew him better Honest John thou hast sufficiently shewed to the World that thy whole Life hath been a continued course of Villany and Knavery And this little Paper hadst thou never been guilty would have made thee suspicious but now it is a Confirmation of all the rest and helps to make thee a compleat And this leads me to consider thy Almanack this Year in which thou hast been extravagantly idle and impudent which I refer to every ones Judgment in the reading what follows IN Page 7. speaking of the Spring Quarter he says it speaks better things to Great Britain than the English Libelling Renegado's in Holland dream of Query whether he means the Abdicated Lords and Bishop now at Amsterdam or not for I know no Renegado's else in Holland there are divers besides in France and Ireland In January in his Rime doggerel over the Month he begs the place to be the Prince of Wales his Vassal Thus you see there can never be a good place vacant but one Knave or another is always ready to beg it Well let him take it and pray take care that Honest John may be entered down in the Book of Honour for the Prince of Wales his Slave There is a pair of them like Master like Man. In this Month he hath taken a great deal of care to put down King Char. the Martyr but if you observe November he hath quite forgot Gunpowder-Treason and yet a very good Protestant why really he did tell me long since that there never was any such thing and that it was only a Trick of King James the First this gave me the first suspicion of his being a Papist In the Month of April he tells us that Dr. Oates was to stand in the Pillory at Tyburn on the 24th day and so to do every Year on that day as long as he lives Query who saw it and whether Jack was not mistaken in the Point as he used to be risum teneatis But in May he makes a long Harangue about his unjust Trial and tells us that on those days there mentioned he was to be punished and afterward to remain in Prison during his Life But Honest John hath lived to see himself prov'd a Liar and the unjust Judges to see their unjust Sentence and Judgment called in Question by their Superiors Was there ever such a base and barbarous Sentence given before no nor would now by any but Dispensing Judges nor none but a Traiterous Scorpionist would so triumph over a poor Gentleman's Sufferings In August and September John hath impudently repeated his former Folly and tells us that Dr. Oates is to stand in the Pillory again on those several days and so to do as long as he lives What way could
