Mutiny and compelled the Emperour of the Turks to deliver unto them his chiefest Favourites to be put to death and that likewise they might remove his Officers at their pleasure yet they were not coment herewith they set fire on the Jewes Houses spoyled their goods and by that meanes above twelve thousand of their Houses were burnt downe to the ground in the same City The Hungarians were continually molested with the the incursions of the Turkes The Sophy of Persia dyed And if I may use the words of Gallobelgicu● ab ortu Solis usque ad occasum nullus firmè remansit locus in quo non miratu dignum aliquid hoc Anno contigerit That is from the rising of the Sunne to the going downe thereof there was scarce any place in which something worthy Memory did not happen This yeere Regiomontanus foretold a little before his death at Rome viz. 1475. one hundreth and thirteen yeares before it came to passe to his effect The Translation whereof as I have read in Dutch is thus Tausen funfhundert achtzitchtacht Das ist das iar das ich betracht Geth in dem de weltnixt under Geschicht doch groz merklich wunder Post mille expletos a partu Virginis Annos Et post Quingentos rursus ab Orbe datos Octogesimus octavus mirabilis Annus Ingruet is secum tristia Fataferet Si non hoc Anno totus malus occidet Orbis Si non in nihilum terra fretumque ruet Cuncta tamen mundi sursum ibunt atque retrorsum Imperia Luctus undique grandis erit Which is thus done into English by me From Christs Birth count a thousand yeares compleate And adde five hundred more with eighty eight That yeare approaching All men will affright With woefull Terrours which on them will light If the whole World to ruine do not run Or into nothing Land and Seas be done At least most Kingdomes topsy-turny turne And men on all sides grievously shall mourne I mention this Astrologicall Prediction and these many occurrences that happened this yeare yet in the memory of man to the end remembring what having already bin passed we may in some measure conjecture of the like Accidents to happen in these our dayes It is true Saturne passeth through a signe once in two yeares and a halfe so that in thirty yeares he runneth through the Zodiaque or the twelve Signes And as often as he returneth to his place Quadrate or opposite Aspect for the most part there happeneth extraordinary mutations in many parts of the World according to the diverse and various positions of the other Planets to him and amongst themselves and the Ingresse of the Sun to the Cardinall poynts with Eclipses c. if we looke in our Chronicles for the yeare 1593 in which year Saturne was in Leo in Quadrate to Taurus and so to the end of 1595 and upward we shall finde the Irish to rebell The story wherof is at large in Mr. Camden and others And if we come neerer to our time viz. In the years 1600 1601 and 1602 all which time Saturne was in Scorpio we shall finde not onely them to rebell againe but the Spaniards then landed and had got footing in Ireland but were with great losse to them driven out with many other remarkable Passages worthy memory by all true spirited English men I could much inlarge my selfe in these Historicall observations and make them very fitly applicable to the Coelestiall Motions of the superiours Starres and Planets I suppose what hath already been spoke will suffice to informe any man of understanding I do not say that because there hath such such things happened to such and such places when such and such Conjunctions and Aspects of the Planets or Eclipses have been that the like must necessarily happen there againe at the like Congresse of the Heavenly bodyes No. Ipse Opifex Rerum voluit haec ordinatissima Coelicorpora esse in Signa tempora dies Annos God the Creator of all things willeth that these orderly Heavenly Bodyes shall be for Signes times dayes and yeares Rideat igitur qui velit cum suo detrimento summo cum periculo conjuncto abiiciat securè superbè contemnat has qualescunque significationes Coelestes Deus se derideri non patietur Phryx non emandatur nisi plagie Prudentiores facilè hinc haud dubie Divinitus admoneri se animadvertent ut discant matura poenitentia vera conversione ardenti pietate ad Deum confugere antevertere praecavere Iram Dei horrendam adversus nostra multiplicia peccata paenarum futurarum gravitatem The Irish have ever beene most rebellious and treacherous to the English Nation and of late have most barbarously and inhumanely murthered many thousand innocent soules Now they are at the height of their cruelty and God is powring out his overflowing cuppe of wrath and vengeance upon them and their adherents Jamque securis ad radicem posita est ut in frugisera arbor excidatur in ignem conjiciatur When God threatens a Nation People or Family he divers wayes forewarnes them before he sends his Judgements upon them sometimes in the sea upon the land in monstrous births in the fire by strange apparitions unusuall tempests sometimes by Comets in blazing Starres very often by Eclipses of the Sun and Moone and more usually by the Configurations of the Planets amongst themselves and the Hebdomaticall Lunations which if men would search into they might observe most excellent matters to contemplate upon and raise their thoughts to an exceeding height of Admiration of the most wonderfull workes of the omnipotent Creatour I doe much wonder at the harsh unadvised censure of many men Divines and otherwise learned enough that say nothing can be foreseene by the starres or their configuration I must tell them Astrology is as ancient as our first Parents but the Antiquity of it doth not alone worke upon me that it is allowed by Universities Princes Sages Philosophers from the first Infancie of the world to this very time and will be admired as long as the Sun Moone and Stars move in the Heavens It depends upon as good grounds as any Art It deales not by signes and effects but by causes whereof the motions configurations and positions of the Heavenly Bodyes are grounded upon Mathematicall demonstrations and the propertyes or virtue of the Heavenly Influence upon the observation or knowne experience of great learned men even from the beginning of the world And if the Divine will doe not counterchecke the ordinary course of nature or the matter of those Elementary Bodies here beneath be not unproportionable and thereby unapt to receive their impressions there is no reason why in a naturall and physicall necessity Astrologicall Predictions made according to Art should not succeede and take effect It deales not with rare contingents unknowne or undeterminate But with these things which fall out for the most part such as are performed by Art

Pharaoh and the Red Sea yea God changeth the Times and the Seasons He removeth Kings and setteth up Kings Dan. 2.21 Who knowes but that the Hand-writing upon the Wall may be applicable to this present miserable deplorable time we live in for my part I tremble to thinke to what sad condition many will be brought in short time if God Almighty prevent not But Quos vult perdere Jupiter hos dementat And now though these two dismall Aspects in October be past their Effects continue And this yeare in April are many notable meetings of the Planets in the Signe Taurus governing Ireland As first of Saturne and Mercury on the 12 day Venus and Mercury the 14 day the Sun and Saturne the 17 day the Sun and Venus the 18 day and Saturne and Venus the 20 day all of them in the first Face of Taurus between the 6 and 10 degree of the said signe Lord what preparations doe the Irish and their confederate Friends the papall Party here there and from forraigne parts make what Consultations Messages Embassyes what Treacheries what combinations what Conspiracies doe they frame against the poore Protestants of England c But the longest day must have an end And on that day this yeere Mars and Saturne Lerma Lerma resonabunt who meeting in conjunction in the midst of Taurus will sound fearfull Alarmes in the midst of Ireland but of these more anon I thought to have found in the next Moneth in this Irish Almanack viz. November on the 5 day some commemoration of that damnable powder Plot 1605 that Popish hellish Conspiracy to destroy the Parliament but they in Ireland would be ignorant of that as not long since our corrupt ambitious Prelaticall Clergy endeavoured to have brought the same about here but let us in England for ever remember Gods mercy and be thankfull in our deliverance from the damnable Treason of the Papists on our 5 day of November 1605. Where there was both a Plot and powder And let us not forget the fearfull judgement of God in the downefall of Black-Fryers upon the Papists the 26 of our October being the 5 of their November 1623. where was no Plot nor powder O miranda Dei Judicis aequitas fraudis fraud● sua prenditu Artifex quis alios plagis irretire parabant h●sere impliciti pedes The wicked people in the pit are fallen themselves that digged it Yea their owne feet are fast insnar'd in hidden nets themselves prepar'd And thereby hath the Lord been known for having such a judgement shown In that the wicked are surpriz'd even in the snare themselves devis'd They in Ireland begin their Michaelmas Terme at Kilkenny as this Irish Almanack hath it on the 3 day of November on which day of November 1640. this happy Parliament in England so much endeavoured to be dissolved began but their Terme and our Parliament are heterogenean Our Parliament ere long will alter their Terme and as their Rebellion broke forth the 23 of October so we now begin our Terme on the 23 of October as if one should say all the Courts of Justice in England by a Divine providence were opened to give Judgement against the Irish for their Rebellion against them the 23 of October Well! This 23 of October will be remembred as a day of mercie by the Parliament and whole Kingdome of England for their great deliverance out of the hands of their cruell Enemy at Keynton Battell when the bloody Irish His Race and all his Generation Shall suffer utter extirpation And in the Age that next doth follow Oblivion shall his black name swallow It may very well be said of Ireland Bona Terra malu Gens But when that wicked Generation of men have drunke their fill of the bloud of the Saints then shall they as deepely drinke of the Cup of Gods wrath Quod differtur non aufertur The time hasteneth and is neerer then they are aware of I have briefely run over these Irish Notes which this Manapian in behalfe of that Kingdome of Ireland and to the same end as Naworth and Wharton the Oxfordians publish theirs in malice against the Parliament and the Kingdome of England have done Thereby discovering themselves to be a most Viperous Generation There are some other observations I might have made on the Popish Saints dayes which in this Almanack are very thin I hope in the next that is written there will be none at all And had this Irish Manapian beene as learned in Astrology as Wharton is and predicted as much as he did upon the Kings unfortunate march the seventh of May the last yeare I should have hoped the like successe as ever since hath befallen that Party My Friend Master Lilly in his Postscript to his Starry-Messenger lately Printed hath sufficiently refuted that Bloxford Astrolo-gazestar We neede not feare either of them one more then the other There is a lying Spirit in the mouth of all of them 2 Chron. 18.21 Their Religion their Learning is one and the same their Knowledge in Astrology very neere of kin There is not a Lunation that is A New Moone Full Moone or her other Quarters mentioned throughout this Popish Calendar that is truely set downe Some of them twelve houres some a day some two dayes and many three dayes erring from the truth I am sure of it never a one of them fitted to the Meridian of any part of Ireland for which it was intended nor for England against whom it was penned printed and published So that if the Oxford Writers take their Observations and ground their Judgements from the Lunations in the Irish Almanack we shall not neede to be dismayed at their pradictions And the fayre weather in the Irish Almanack will prove foule to them when the English come to correct the Printing Presse at Waterford I am now come to the end of the Calendar and in the next page I finde set downe The rising and setting of the Sun for every first and fifteenth day of every moneth in the yeare Why God maketh his Sun to rise on the evill and on the good and sendeth raine on the just and on the unjust Math. 5.45 There is likewise the length of the day set downe If they please to remember the Battell at Naseby the last yeare they will have small cause to rejoyce the 12 of June this yeare or not many dayes after Truely the longest day will be for ever fatall to the Irish and their Confederates if my Astrologie faile not and they know it seldome does After this Table followes A Compendious Chronology of things Memorable From the Creation to Noahs Flood Gen. 5.7.11 -1060 Yeares From the Flood to Abraham Gen. 11.32 12.4 Act. 7.4 -356 Yeares From Abrahams birth to Terah's death Gen. 11.32.12.4 80 Yeares From Terah's death to Israels delivery Exod. 12.40 41. -434 Yeares From that time till Salomons Temple 1 Kings 6.1 484 Yeares From the building of Salomons Temple to Christ 1032 Yeares From Christs birth
