A76778	Black Munday: or, A full and exact description of that great and terrible eclipse of the sun which will happen on the 29. day of March 1652. beginning 48. minutes after 8. a clock in the forenoon, and ending 17. minutes after 11. in which time the sun will be almost totally darkened (as at the Passion of our Saviour) and the stars appear in the firmament in the day time.

Joel 2.3 A day of darknesse and of gloominesse a day of clouds and of thick darknesse there hath not been ever the like neither shall be any more after it even to the yeers of many generations The true Figure of the Eclipse North. South East West December 5th London Printed for William Ley at PAUL'S Chain 1651. A description of that great Eclipse of the Sun which will be on the 29. of March next ensuing 1652. TAking into consideration this notable Eclipse which will be of the Sun when I considered with my self the dire and fearful accidents which may happen unto this Nation it struck me with astonishment yet to give the world satisfaction I thought good to write as neer as I can the true description of this grand Eclipse You have heard of that remarkable dark Saturday which was on the 25. of February 1598. 't was much about the same time of the day that this happens with us in 1652 though many remember that yet I am confident not any man living ever saw a greater then this And we may well call it Black-Munday First in regard it hapneth upon a Munday Secondly in regard of the effects it bringeth along with it for this dismall day wherein the Sun shall suffer a totall Eclipse to our imagination so dark and terrible it will be that the Stars will be seen at noon day It shall happen on the 29. day of March next beginning at eight of the clock and indore till after eleven Now I have shewed you the time give me leave to tell you of the sad events that come thereby it is the Precursor of great calamities and mischiefs that shall happen to the people and places concerned in it especially all Europe and more particularly England this Eclipse falls out in the fiery triplicity in Aries the ascendent of England and the very degree of his Exaltation Mars having principall government and dominion their and in the Angle following the Eclipse and so is Lord thereof so that the effects must necessarily be of his quality evil Mars being an enemy to mankind and to all things that are good it is the terriblest Ecclipse that hath been seen in our daies yea it will be a greater then that ominous Eclipse of the Sun that wil fal out in the year 1654. howbeit never since the eldest man born did there appear two such Eclipses in England in so short a time and as they are great and terrible so it is as miraculous an Eclipse as that was at the time of our Saviours Passion for that in many remarkable respects too sadly agrees with this and cast back your eys upon the Scripture how dismall a sight was there when there was darknesse on all the Land from the sixth hour till the ninth and the Vaile of the Temple was rent in twain and what horrid calamities hapned to the Jews after that how were they destroyed by Titus Vespasian their Temples destroyed defaced and themselves led into captivity what alterations of government did there not happen what bloodshed what murthers were there not perpetrated how did they embroil their hands in one anothers bowells Father against the son and son against the Father till there was none left pray God avert those calamities from these Nations that are under the predominancy of these ruling Planets for they presage if we may believe Origanus and the best and most learned Astrologers most sad and dire aspects for it threatens exile captivity or slaughter of some famous King or great Potentate and men in Authority c. and great heart-burning between the common people and their Magistrates and Governours with losse to both what events have blazing stars produced formerly the death of Kings and Princes great Plagues and Earthquakes we have seen it plentifully fullfill'd in our time to the great terror and amazement of this Kingdome and other Nations adjacent and although there may be a cause in nature yet do they by the will and appointment of God foretell such things as are the forerunners of the wrath of God as the signs in the Ayr which Josephus mentioneth immediately before the destruction of Ierusalem and the horrible signs preceding the day of Iudgement do but peruse the Astrologers and you find the sad effects of Comets c. did not there happen in 1631. a great Eclipse of the Sun and in 45. another Lunar Eclipse most of them hapning in the eighth house termed by Astrologers domus mortis Mars being for the most part predominant In such Eclpses surely if we would observe Gods threatning hand over us we might see how God forewarns us by his instruments nay we may expect military acts of great and fearfull consequences in most parts of Europe which shall produce scarsity of Doves and beasts destruction amongst men and the ruine of most stately Fabricks and a great desiciency of the fruits of the earth that there will be great things managed in the world is most certain as to the infinite honor and fame of some so to the great prejudice if not consumption of some other people and Nations Affairs shall be acted under the notion of Religion yet not without dissimulation and that hath been the pest and bane of all undertakings when Religion is made the stalking horse to all designs and purposes Mars his position is in Taurus as his detriment doth testifie and under the banner of conscientious reformation shall the sword bear sway which is and will be paramount if it should be demanded the time when I answer as those precurrent messingers which usher in the beginning of these effects we may expect them in Iune or Iuly this year according to Hermes in his 33. Aphorisme Saturno quidem transeunte ab uno signo in aliud fiunt in coelo signa de natura ignis coruscations and fiery apparitions in the Ayre this Conjunctions doth denote unto us that the common people in most Countreys will usurp Authority and spurn at their Superiors but some mitigation doth Iupiter promise that though the Sword rule it shall seem rather justly to divide then ravenously destroy good grounds will be pretended Justice as well as revenge intended in all the quarrells of the sword
