And what is signified by the eclipses and positions of the planets, in the figures of the four solar ingresses, &c. And what sorrowful times are approaching to the world, and what eminent changes are like to happen in most countries (from the influences of the three conjunctions of Saturn and Jupiter in the fiery trigon, in 1682. and 1683.) Also monthly observations. For every month this present year.

and the worse because Saturn is now in the opposite Sign and if Capricorn belongs to Oxford may not the Planet Mercury therein posited represent the great Augusts Observations GREAT Melancholy trouble and discontent possesseth many Hearts its probable some religious Controversy may happen in the City of Oxford more than many other places Magistrates there and in other places resolute to disturb some meeting or religious professors variances among Rulers and Men of Power and among Magistrates and probably in Bristol abundance of people dye this Month Note on the 5th day the Planet Saturn goes out of Cancer into the fiery sign Leo about which time we may expect to see some unusual sights and Apparitions in the Air which usually happen when he goes from one sign to another Septembers Observations LET Bristol beware of Fire and all other mischiefs and sly doings The Magistrates thereof I doubt will some way be slily affronted and vext by some sly Enemies there that probably may cause Divisions and Controversies amongst them The second day of this Month at three in the morning the Sun will suffer an Eclipse which denotes the Death of some great and very wise person or persons is approaching and in a few Months will end this Life Let London also beware for some Plot or mischievous Designs may now be feared Rulers of Nations affronted by some slily causing much Variance and Divisions amongst them Many are now Imprisoned a very sickly Season abundance dye Octobers Observations SLY Actions and sly Enemies are still to be feared causing much trouble and vexations variances amongst high and low preparations for War against the next year abundance dye Novembers Observations MAgistrates Oppress some meetings or persons professing Religion beware of your Servants for they will be very much inclined to cheat their Masters now more than at other times often variances between them and Servants will be in danger of the Cudgel Decembers Observations VEry notable Contentions and Controversies amongst Kings Princes Nobles and Rulers of Nations and Kingdoms some more than ordinary stir I wish there may not happen any Rebellion this Month against National Supreme Powers God preserve the Magistrates of the City of Bristol in Peace and Unity this Month great robberies on the Land and at Sea take Notice of the variances and evill events that happen about the 19 day of this Month we cannot be too wary of the bloody-minded Papists Thus the year for the most part is tending to great contentions or Wars or preparations against the next year for without doubt woful times are approaching to the Earths Inhabitants with Plagues Calamities and great and remarkable Changes in many or most Nations and Kingdoms in the World FINIS POSTSCRIPT SInce my Observations were sent to the Press before they were Published I thought it the more satisfactory to inform the Reader that the Comet is now to our sorrow weakly appearing in ♈ the Ascendant of England and France therefore it may the more be feared that Englands trouble and affliction is approaching ♈ is a fiery Sign and a Comet in a fiery Sign is the more apt to cause the Nations subject to it to be concerned with Wars it is now appearing very weakly but if it continue about a month longer or till about the 10th day of February of which now there is some doubt it is probable by that time it will Transite ♉ ♊ ♋ and ♌ viz. the Ascendants of Ireland London Scotland Holland and Bristol but it will signifie the less evil to those places because it grows weaker and weaker but it wofully threatens those Nations Cities Towns Villages Places and Persons that are under the Signs ♑ and ♓ because it not only appeared powerful therein but the Infortunes afflicted those Signs then by Opposition many places in England may be under ♑ and ♓ though we have not the knowledge thereof from the experiences of antient Astrologers Lastly whereas this Comet hath been already in a Sign of every Triplicity by reason of its swift motion it denotes the more varieties of evils for a Comet in a Fiery Sign hath more power to cause Wars than in another Sign and in an Earthy Sign most power to cause Barrenness and Unfruitfulness than in another Sign In short I fear a besome of Destruction will shortly follow in many Nations partly by the Pestilence and partly by War if not also by a Famine or great scarcity if humility of heart and speedy Repentance do not either divert it or preserve us from it Libera nos Domine si sancta sit tua voluntas Swift Comets and Saturnine signify Wars Plague Destruction Woes and Scarcity Th' infected Air oft kills the Fowls that fly The Earths and Waters Animals will dye Tho' man knows part th' Omniscient God knows all Those sad Contingents that will man befall Oh God thou giv'st us some foresight that we With speed repent and turn from Sin to Thee Effects below proceed from Cause above From Stars that by thy Blessed Order move From Comets and strange Visions in the Air Which we Spectators on the Earth admire Bristol the 8th of January 1680.
