A75276	The worlds proceeding woes and succeeding joyes. 1. In cruell warres and vehement plagues. 2. In happy peace and unity amongst all living creatures. Or, the triple presage of Henry Alsted, (a man every way most learned) depending as well on the oracles of heaven, as on the opinions of the greatest astrologers. With an addition of the fiery conjunction of Saturn and Iupiter, this instant February; denouncing many calamities to the world, or certaine regions thereof. In which discourse, is discovered the opinions of many learned men concerning Christs personall reign upon earth, and confirmed by the most comfortable prophecie of Tycho Brahe, touching the most blessed age even now at hand.	Alsted, Johann Heinrich, 1588-1638.	1643 (1643)	Wing A2927; Wing W3591; Thomason E89_20; ESTC R2034	10,277	15

to passe that scarce in many pages can be found one line that may altogether agree with truth and experience e Moreover is there any credit to bee given unto Sooth-sayers prophecying publick calamities change of Kingdomes deaths of great men and destructions of Cities where for the most part they shamefully erre in fore-telling Meteors as raine and other missile changes of the Aire c. which the Prognostications in great number every yeare published may sufficiently prove fore-telling the dispositions of every day often contrary and most often false Whatsoever it be if any contemner of Divine tokens through the insolency of his wit doe babble that the meeting of Saturn and Iupiter happens according to the usuall course of nature and therefore signifies nothing that Prophet of Germany thrice famous Luther not I a man of no name shall answer him saying Because it seldome happens though it hath naturall causes it portendeth somewhat The which very same also one of the Nobles of Vrania affirmeth in these words What is annuall and for the continuall periods lesse unaccustomed that doth the lesse trouble the rule of the worldly Occonomie then that which seldome happens The which amongst other things he goes on the conjunctions of Planets which seldome happen doe shew by manifest Indication of their effects Moreover the Sun that great Vice-Roy of Heaven and most bright lamp of the World and the other luminary of this universe the Moone doe presignifie certaine supernaturall things so often as they incurte defects or be in Eclipse f from their appointed ministrics apparanly deficient which they plainly admit in their naturall courses of which thing that man of g many tongues and also great divine and sometimes the Miracle of Preachers now in the greatest delights with the Blessed was not ignorant Likewise that most specious meteor and most beautifull Phanomenon or appearance Eccl. 43.11.12 Iris or vulgarly called the Celestiall Bow g though it bee a naturall thing viz. an emphasis in the ayre from the Sun-beames reflecting on a dewie Cloud yet it doth significantly expresse by its azure Circle appearing in the Clouds that Covenant which God most mercifull made with men after the Deluge namely that this world should be no more destroyed by water And also by another Cloudy Circle which is seene neare it that which elsewhere S. Peter doth Prophecie without doubt seemeth to be signified namely that the world shall one day be consumed with sire the second Epist 3.7.10.12 Let him that desireth to read more of the malignity of this coniunction of Saturn and Iupiter goe to the Appendix of a Book lately published in English touching the Comet in 1618. Hitherto we have delivered nothing but thunder greatly to be feared even of us English for our late divarication from the even poyse of Piety hence to the superstition of the Gentiles thence to the Cyclopean contempt of sacred things Hitherto I say our book hath againe and againe inculcated h Woe woe as that Prophet and the same most unhappy of Ierusalem so that any one appalled or affrighted may say of this Book as some one of the name of Allant while he lived of the Church of Rome Bella sonat sonat arma minas sonat omnia Martis Warre armes and threats it founds all things of Mars Wherefore lest the minds of mortall men with so many portents and so great evils imminent should be sore troubled Take the Prophecie of Tycho Brahe of the most happy and more then golden age that will follow a while after which may bee a comfort in this age of the vilest mettle and dregges of ages especially to us in these most dangerous times The most comfortable Prophesie of Tycho Brabe touching the most blessed age even now at hand which to gratifie those that are greatly perplexed I offer for a Conclusion I Hold it worthy of observation that even as the Trigonick Restitutions which were exhibited in odde number as the first third and fifth were healthful to the world so I may foretel this seventh which began in 1603 especially delighting in odde number to be of a certain great good and more happy estate neither also are these different from the most ancient prophesies of most wise divinely illuminated men k who prophecied that before the universall conflagration or burning of all things a certaine peaceable and concordant age should for a time be one earth wherein the tumultuos confusions of politike administrations or governments variety of Religious should be transmuted or changed and adopted or fitted to a more conforme Analogie of Gods will The which we may plainly gather out of the Prophets themselves who foretold that a certaine golden age should sometime be on the earth wherein men shall make plough shares of their swords and sithes of their speares neither shall one people beare armes against another nor learne to fight any more they shall live under their Vines and figtrees and none shall fray them away As Micheas the Prophet hath it chap. 4. and Isa chap. 11. doth prophesie of the same in this manner The Wolfe shall converse with the Lambe the Leopard lie downe by the Goat and a little Childe shall lead a Calfe and a Lyon coupled together and the Cow and Beare shall feed together their young ones lying together and the Lyon like the Oxe shall feed of straw and the sucking Infant playing upon the nest the of Aspe and when hee is weaned he shall put his hand into the Cockatrices Denne There shall be no evill or wickednesse done in my holy H●ll because the earth shall be full of so great knowledge of the Lord even as the Sea is covered with waters Then also those things which I say 60. are referred to the mysticall Ierusalem or the state of Christianity more perfect then hitherto where amongst other things it is said For brasse I 〈…〉 in gold for iron silver for wood brasse for stones iron and I will turne thy oppression into peace and thy exactions intorightousnesse Cruelty shall not then be heard in thy land nor destruction or calamity within thy borders thy walls thou shall call health and thy Gates praises And what goes before and follows where at length he thus concluds I the Lord will bring that to passe in its time There are also found more places aswell in the Prophets as in the Apocalyps promising an unwonted and little hoped for felicity of earthly things surely so great as hitherto hath been in no age of the world That therefore the truth of the prophecie may be fulfilled which cannot deceive for they are altogether uttered by the truth-telling spirit of God it is certaine that this will bee before the universall destruction of things What then if in this new passage of the Trigons all those things have their event allotted l All these things full of vigor Tycho Brahe never to be named without a new title of praise a man also nobly learned in divine knowledge There
