Whereunto are annexed some astrologicall observations upon a conjunction of the two malignant planets Saturne and Mars in the midle of the signe Taurus the horroscope of Ireland, upon Friday the 12. of Juue [sic] this yeare 1646. with memorable prædictions and occurrences therein.

fortune and another School-fellow's of mine that was then present Whereupon this Wizard having looked earnestly upon us both and paused a little For my School-fellow he takes me a low stool and gets up upon it with a book in his hand and began to act after his fashion sign●●ying thereby that he should be a Preacher And for me he took a pen and a scrole of paper and made is though he would write signifying thereby that I should be a Scrivener Now so it fell out that my School-fellow proved the Scrivener and I prove the Preacher By which it is plain to be seen that either the Devil himself did misse or his Instrument was mistaken in his informations Thus far he that proved a Preacher and Bishop would have been if the dumb man could have spoken he would have told him so A dumb man and tell fortunes Risum teneatis Amici What 's all this to Astrology or to Astrologicall predictions or to any man professing Astrology bounded within this definition Astrologia est Doctrina quae ostendit vires stellarum cognitas perpetua experientia qualitates temperamenta inclinationes in elementis corporibus hominum ortas a Luce motu stellarum quibus qualitatibus temperamentis inclinationibus respondent suae quaedam Actiones nisi aut Divinitus aut aliis causis fortioribus impediantur For the more satisfaction in this matter I referre you to my Almanacke for the last yeere 1645. I will only repeat what I mentioned in my Prognostication for the yeer 1643. in some Astrologicall remembrances and so close up this Discourse In my Observations of the Revolution of the yeer 1640. amongst others I observed that Belliger iracundus Mars Anni hujus Dominus Vim irae Rabiei passim Capricornistis toti ejus Quadrangulo tam Dirum in medium immittit ut parum tranquilitatis illis remansurum sit quod malum maxime Conjunctio Martis Saturni tribus vicibus hoc Anno in Aquario Humano generi Hispalensis authoritate igne gladio exasperabit Rosea Jovis prosapia that is Archbishops Bishops Prelats c. contentiones multa nova percipiet collabentur desiderabilia ipsorum claudicabit sanitus eorum I could wish T. V. B. of D. would English this to the Episcopals and their party that cannot understand more then English and in the same Revolution of that yeer having found Jupiter and Mars to have been in Conjunction the fift of March in five degrees 34. minutes of Capricorn where Jupiter is cadent and at the Suns entrance into Aries that yeer Mars was newly separated from Jupiter I thought it a strange Conjunction and that no doubt it would produce as strange matters concerning the persons signified by Jupiter and Mars or the Jovialists and Martiallists Whereupon searching some of the Masters of Astronomy I found in Guido Bonatus his Astronomia 4. part cap. 34. these very words Si fueris suspicatis utrum in Anno quem revoluit sint futura praelia seu dissentiones unde excitentur a quibus Aspice illi rei secumdum modum quem tradiderunt nobis Antiqui specialiter ille reverendissimus predecessor noster Albnumazar qui fuit in Revolutionum Annorum scientia etiam in omnibus aliis partibus Astronomiae proficuus valde astutus audax Eriges enim tunc figuram ad Revolutionem Anni constitue Ascendens caeteras Domos Planetas omnes in Domibus in quibus fuerint aspicè Martem vide a quo ipse separetur vel a quo sit tunc seperatus Dixit enim Albumazar quoniam ille est qui misit eum qui exitavit Bellum quamvis fuerit fortuna ille a quo separatus fuerit Mars etiam si fuerit Jupiter tamen erit excitator Belli de personis quae significantur per Jovem de potentioribus possibile erit quod sit de genere Episcoporum similium Thus far Guido Bonasus I am sure there was then such a Conjunction and that then Mars was newly separated from Jupiter there was then Bellum Episcopale How at that time and since to this day the effects have answered let the world judge and then fearing what since hath come to passe in another place of that yeers observations I made use of these words Da pacem Domine in diebus nostris S. B. Samuel Baker then one of the Bishops Chaplains and a Licenser expunged all this and defaced it with a Deleatur I wonder how they love truth or peace that will not suffer us to speak of praedict or pray against War was not there good ground of fears and jealousies If we should remember the Eclipses of the Sun and Moon 1639. and since that time and the great Configurations of the Planets such as the Conjunction of the two Malignants Saturn and Mars three times in 1640. viz. in June August and September and the Quadrate of them in the end of December 1641. and the beginning of January 1642. and thereto adde the Conjunction of Jupiter and Mars the middle of May as likewise the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars again in the same yeer the 27. of May with other great Conjunctions and Aspects of the superior Bodies and compare the times occurrences we may easily see God forewarns us of his judgments by his Heavenly Militia what bloody murthers treasons and trecheries what unheard of cruelties have been acted in Ireland by the Rebels there the powder-plotting-blood-thirsty Papists and their Adherents persons popishly affected was there not great cause of Fears and Jealousies such a fire is kindled that it is even come to our own doors threatning us with unnaturall intestine wars This and much more I mentioned in that yeers Almanack and thereto I refer you I have but one note more to commend to the Irish and I have it out of the above mentioned Rantzovius pag. 101 in these words Richardus de rebus Hybernicis attendendum est hoc loco unum insigniter diem Hypernicis infestum quasi fatalem illuxisse Limericum die Martis Brittanni expugnabunt die enim Martis Guesfurdia fuit dedita die Martis Waterfurdia ab obsessoribus occupata die Martis Dublinensis Civitas armis oppressa that is Richard or Richardson of the Affairs of Ireland in this place that is Ireland it is to be observed or listned unto one day hath appeared famously hurtfull and as it were fatall to the Irish the Brittains or Englishmen expugned or won by assault Limerick upon a Tuesday Weixford was yeelded up upon a Tuesday Waterford was possessed by the Besiegers upon a Tuesday and the City of Dublin was oppressed by war upon a Tuesday I know not why a Tuesday yea every Tuesday throughout the yeer should not be fatall to the Irish for in this last Conjunction I have made this Discourse of Mars to whom Tuesday is appropriated and therefore it is called Dies Martis is most unfortunately placed To every thing there is a time and a time to every purpose under the Heaven Eccless 3.1 The Lord hath made all things for himself yea even the wicked for the day of evil Prov. 16.4 That which hath been is now and that which is to be hath already been and God requireth that which is past Eccles 3.15 But enough at this time Ad Deum Te nostrae moveant Deus quarelae Et tristes gemitus gravesque luctus Quos nobis varios ferunt cientque Exorti Stygio Lacu tumultus Poenarum dedimus satis superque Sat multi priere sat feroci Bellonae licuit Satis cruoris Hausit Sacrilegi furor duelli Quare disidiis procul remotis Optate redeat quietis aura Hoc te supplici●us piisque votis Et multis lachrymis Deus rogemus ILLVCens taVro MartIs ConIVnCtIo noVa nVnCIat hIbernIs satVrnI IVrgla Clto 1 M. 1000. 5 C. 500. 2 L. 100. 7 V. 35. 11 I. 11.   1646.

ruine and destruction to those great ones subversion of their ancient Families and ruine to their stately Buildings Cities Townes Towers and Castles That People shall be in most miserable and deplorable condition We see the Conjunction is in Taurus under which amongst other places Ireland is posited and that the signes Leo Scorpio and Aquary are sharers and must participate in this influence Famine Scarcity Plagues and terrible warfare shall happen to many places under those Signes If they expect ayd from Foraigne parts they will be frustrated Me thinkes I behold all the States of Europe involv'd in this Quarrell the French and Spaniard Matching the Hollander busie the POPE thundering his Bulls and Excommunications the Turke making great preparations so likewise the Germane Dane Swede Polonian Venetian nay what State in the Christian World is not disquieted If I should recount the Eclipses and great Conjunctions of the superior Planets in Signes to which most or all Countries in Europe are subjected and the events that have succeeded within these few yeares in these places I might rather make an History then a succinct discourse there were not long since two or three Eclipses of both the Luminaryes in the Signe Leo the effects of all which are strongly operating and for many yeares together will produce admirable and unexpected occurrences I believe the progresse of Saturne through the Signe Taurus out of which he will not fully free himselfe till the end of March 1648. will be very fatall to Ireland and most chiefely he will powre out his influence upon that place rather then any other For if we consider the present condition thereof since the Rebellion there broke forth The horrid Murthers and cruell slaughters by them committed upon many thousands of English Protestants whose bloud cryes for vengeance doe authorise me Astrologically to pronounce a fearefull doome of Fire Sword Plague and Famine to follow that bloudy Nation Let me tell the Spaniard French or what other Nation soever that is ayding or assisting them they must not escape the Divine vengeance which God by the Starres his Coelestiall Ministers doth menace them withall If the Pope send his Agents to prosecute their Designes he may chance loose his Triple Crowne in this unjust quarrell they have raised The Divell may rage for a season Sed si Deus nobiscum quis contra nos The fight from Heaven the Starre in their Courses fight against CaesAR Sisera I hope I shall speak truth if I tell the French Spaniard or any other friend the Irish or their Associates have that though they never made greater preparations yet with as like successe as that Invincible Armado in 88 had at what time fourescore of the Spanish Ships were lost with not so few as twenty thousand men The windes and Seas fighting at that time for England which was many yeares before threatned by the proud and insulting Spaniard This Armado consisted of 130 Ships nineteene thousand two hundred and ninty Souldiers eight thousand three hundred and fifty Mariners two thousand and fourescore Gally-slaves two thousand sixe hundred and thirty great Ordinance which Navy having been three yeares in preparing and at no small charge within one moneth was often beaten and at length put to flight and as I said 20000 of their men being slaine and not above one hundred of the English were missing the remainder of their Navy some in their slight were cast upon Scotland and some upon Ireland and those few that escaped returned with a great deale of dishonour into Spaine above 700 Souldiers and Seamen were cast upon the Scottish shore who were afterward sent over to the Low-Countries but those which by Tempest were driven upon Ireland found a harder measure for the wild Irish of their owne accord slew many of them I suppose their cruelty is not inferiour now to what it was then but suppose the French Spanish Irish Jesuite Popish Fryer Priest and the whole rabble of Antichristians in all the World were combined together against England let but an English man name 1588. or 1605. And without doubt the proudest and most cruellest of them all will be daunted and sink down with amazement so powerfull hath God showne himselfe in those times That in the first the King of Spaine himselfe acknowledged the misfortune that befell him to have been the handy worke of God and gave thanks to God and his Saints causing the like to be done throughout Spaine that it fell to be no worse And for that in 1605 certainly it was the eye of Gods Providence that discovered that horrid deed of darknesse the Gun-Powder Treason invented by the Divellish Papists to the destruction of the Parliament and so consequently to the whole Kingdome Let us looke back to the yeare 1587. In which yeare Mary Queene of Scots was beheaded for the position of Saturne and we shall finde that from the first of March that yeare to the middle of Aprill 1589 he walked through Taurus the Signe under which he now is c. under which Ireland is subjected as I said before In the moneth of August the 28 day was an ominous opposition of Mars from Scorpio to him in the 16 degree and if we observe this memorable yeare 1588. Upon the 28 of May Saturne and Mars were in Conjunction in the 19 degrees Taurus not farre from the place they now meete in not many dayes after which that Spanish Fleet was discovered on our English Coast If we examine our Chronicles we shall finde most Memorable Passages in divers parts of the World to have happened this yeare Was it not unusuall and strange that Polonia this yeare should have three Kings usurping the Title while the fourth viz. Stephen Battori was yet unburied Namely Sigismond the Sweden Maximilian the Emperours brother and Henry Valoys King of France of which three Maximilian in the beginning of this yeare was taken Prisoner his Army overthrowne by meanes thereof many thousands of men women and children carryed away Captives by the Tartars Thus saith Gallobelgicus and further that Suetia was all on fire with tumults and lost certain places of strength to the Muscovite The Muscovite himselfe ranne mad and lost his wits The King of Denmarke Frederick the second dyed In France the Barricados of Paris the flight of the King from thence The slaughter of the Duke of Guise and his brother the Cardinall of Lorrayne The death of the Queen Mother the poysoning of the Prince of Condee and the Overthrow which the King of Navarre gave unto Duke Mercury all which Les derniers troubles de Fraunce do testifie and gave that Kingdome sufficient cause to thinke that yeare 1588 to be an extraordinary yeere At the same time the Duke of Savoy prepared his Army and surprized Carmagmall the King of France his chiefe Magazine in Saluze The Turke suffered great overthrowes in Hungaria And in Constantinople by reason of false moneys wherewith the Jauizaryes were payd their wages they fell into a
