drawes nigh without doubt warrs and great disturbances amongst many Nations are near The great Eclipse of the Moon in February begins now manifestly to operate The moneth is like to prove extream sickly abundance dye a probability of Rain on or about the 10 day and the 23 and 24 and the likeliest days for thunder and lightning are the 7 14 and 22 day if not raine withall When Kingly Sol to Saturn comes the Moon Comes quickly to him too but then to soon She hastens to the discontented Sun And from him with Saturnine light doth run August's Observations THe Comonalty now sigh for quiet times and mightily desire peace but at the latter end of the month and I doubt in the next month also very terrible actions and tumultuous controversies and great wrath if not worse are likely to be the sad events thereof which I greatly fear will be carried on with very great subtilty and with close and secret conspiracies what Plots and mischievous designes are now in our daies in the hearts of men it is no Joy to me that I cannot bring tidings of peace great variances divisions and distractions in some part of ●urky in Bohemia in Italy especially at Rome many quarells in the Cities of Br and O many leagues and friendships broken so that the latter end of this month and I doubt the next month to chiefly in the places aforesaid will prove time of much action and consultation and great controversies amongst high and low differences in Councills and amongst Superiours in Scotland and Holland this month man great robberies terrible strife betwixt men and thier wives dangerous sea voyage an extream sickly season abundance die I mean at the letter end of the month schiefly and at the beginning of the next likel hood of some thunder and lightning with rain about the 5 6 or 7 day also rain on or about the 21 day and the 27 and 28 da. Tour Planets in the Lyon fierce conspire Why they 'l associate in the westerne angle The house of strife where Planets best can wrangle September's Observations I Cannot yet find the tokens of a peaceable season but rather of great desunity and controversies amongst high and low this month and I doubt the next to and they are both likely to prove months of remark able actions and events and turbulent doings this month there happens one Conjunction of Jupiter and Mars and another conjunction of the two unfortunate Planets Saturn and Mars and therefore I cannot but believe that tumultuous controversies if not worse effects will attend many Nations Cities and places I doubt the L Apprentices will be resolute for some Martial activity this month or the next also it will not be amisse for London chiefly to be some what wary of fire this month or the next we may expect abundance of rain wind and blustring weather this month and it chiefly happens on or about 3 7 10 11 12 13 14 17 18 19 20 26 30 daies so that we are like to have turbulent weather most part of this moneth Just as bright Sol the spring of glorious light Doth equallize and ballance day and night The three Superious in the heav'ns contend And darts of fury to great pow'rs do send October's Observations THis is the month wherein the two superiour Planets Saturn and Jubiter make their first conjunction in the fiery sign Leo that this is not like to prove a month of great variance and disunity but allso we may expect henceforth Martial preparations in many Nations and they will more certainly assure us of those earthly troubles b● their two other Conjunctions in next January and May that I must needs conclude that the year 1683 and 1684 will make many men sensible of a great part of the sad effects of those three Conjunctions a likelyhood of rain or hail on or about the 8 9 10 15 28 day This month the two Superiours are conjoyn'd And in the fiery Trigon are combin'd Their meeting still great changes doth foreshew To happen in the Regious here below November's Observations THis month is likely to be more peaceable than the former but I doubt their will happen disunity and differences in Councills the Commonalty are very apt now to deride some persons in Authority Women with Child now very apt to receive hurt therefore they ought to have the greater care to prevent miscarriages high winds at Sea and tossing waves obstructing the Seamen Cattle great and small pretty subject to distempers sickness Magistrates oppose Professors of Religion with very high words dark cloudy if not rain hail or snow on or about 2 the 10 11 24 25 da●… False cow'rdly Saturn backward slinks from Jove Jove spies him and soon backward to doth move He runs with Lyons strength be seemes not weary He over takes his foe in January Decembers Observations THe hearts of most Professors are now full of zeal and are apt to be disquiated by some inferiour persons Magistrates now apt to deride Professours for their waies and practices and withall to use some kind of violence to disturb some sort of meetings this month or the next many suffer imprisonment many theeveries happen or losses sea voages will be dangerous this month and the next some shipwracks and skirmages on the waters the Planet Mars is now entered into Libra the opposite sign to Aries the ascendent of England and France and staes there in no lesse time than about seaven months and a half I wish this quarelsome Planet cause not tha which is worse then common variences and disturbances in or against England the next spring or summer France will be in the same danger yet I doe not conclude that Mars alone so posited is a sufficient ground for us to fear any such thing but he will then be more to be feared than in any other years because he will he assisted no less then with three conjuuctions of Saturn and Jubiter in the fiery sign Leo after one of which alone usuall follows Warrs in or amongst Nations and Kingdoms let us consider then what great Warrs and terrible bloodshedings are likely to follow Three I fear sad times are near at hand with divers great changes and alterations though divers ignorant selfconseited persons may now be apt to deride me but they may become a derision themselves when my Predictions are fulfilled we may expect some change of weather on or about the 21 22 23 and 29th day When Phaebus bright his downward course hath ended And to the winter Trophick hath desended Mars claimes high rule stands at the door of blisse As if he would Jov's real freind opresse this moneth or the next IT is known to my self and some others that most things that I Predicted in my last years monthly observations have hitherto been fulfilled and where I failed there I hit very near but bitter envy and doting ignorance have ever been apt to despise and trample upon the works of prudence and experience though ever so ponderous and consideraete However to all the reall lovers of Celestial Sciences I benevolently commit my Annuall and Monthly Observations for the year 1682.

1682 Astrological Observations AND Predictions for the Year of our Lord 1682. Wherein are briefly shewn the significations of the late COMET which appeared most manifestly to us in December 1680. And of the two great Eclipses of the Moon AND What Eminent Changes and Sorrowful Events are likely to happen in many if not most Countries in the world from the Influences of the Three Conjunctions of Saturne and Jupiter in the fiery sign Leo in 1682 and 1683. ALSO Monthly Observations For every Month this present year Briefly containing the most Remarkable Events that are likely to happen in some Nations Kingdoms and Cities By John Silvester Printed for the Author 1682 For the year 1682. Of the late Comet that was seen in December 1680. THIS dreadful Comet the like whereof I suppose was never seen by many if any generation before us that appeared most manifestly in England in December 1680. Seemed when I first saw it to shew it self about the begining of the second face of Capricorn between the bodies of the Sun and the Planet Mercury and near the opposite place of Saturn but I received advice from a friend of mine that this Comets first appearance was in the watry sign Scorpio the house of the fiery Plannet Mars and that it was seen before the sun rising on the 25th of November at six of the clock in the morning But in what sign soever it had its begining or birth it was observed to appear in a sign of every Triplicity which certainly denotes varieties of evils distinguished sufficiently in my last years little book to which I referr'd the Reader but whereas it appeared most powerfully to us in Capricorn and Aquaries and more weakly in Pisses and Aries the assendant of England and France where it was supposed to have been extinguisht therefore those places under Capricorn and Aquaries will be subject to the most woful effects never the lesse I fear those places under Aries will be subject to afflictions that will be bad enough for though it appeared very weakly therein yet it is probable enough that it appeared very powerful and dreadful in many other Countries under Aries as well as in England at that time when we beheld it in Capricorn and Aquaries for Comets do not only manifest their effects in those Countries under the signs wherein they appeared but also in those Countries where they appeared most dreadfull and most visible and therefore it may be feared that the effects of this dreadful Comet appertaines to many forreign Countries and that God is preparing woes fo● many Nations if not for most nations in the World And whereas the Tayl of this Comet was very long and the time of its continuance also long it denotes the strength and powerfulness of its operation and by consequence the more dreadfulnesse of the effects and the durability thereof which will shortly be seconded and the effects thereof continued by the powerful operations of no less then three conjunctions of Saturne and Jubiter in the fiery sign Leo and as this Comet was swift in motion and run through many signs so it may be feared that the influence thereof will seem also by its effects to be swift in motion from one Countrey to an other and whereas the Star it self or Comets body seemed to be very small that it ●…uld not first espeasily be easily diserned and a very dreadful and visible stream or Tayl issued from it from hence it may not groundlessly be conjectured that there will be many secret and close conspiraces and contrivances in many Countries out of which there will go very visible streams of wrathfull furious wicked and treaterous actions or more plainly such effects from the violent breaking forth of some Plot or Plots I have heard reports of other Comets that have been seen but I have not seen them my self but I received intelligence from a friend of mine that on Thursday the 24 day of March 1681 about eleven of the clock at night there were seen in their town by divers Persons of good credit two dreadful Meteors near the Moon by their declaring the one in Virgo before the Moon the other in Scorpio following the Moon which Meteors much terrified affrighted the spectatours Comets and fiery Meteros are tokens of many hot and dry exhalations in the aire which so dry up the humours in men and increase cholor that they are easily stirred up to quarrels after which follows blows warrs and bloudshed and consequently alterations of Laws and Customs in many places Comets are dreadful objects to mens eies Gods angry Warnings heavenly rarities That still proclaime Gods wrath some Kingdomes w● Plagues or great Sickness bloudy Warres also Of the signification of the two great Eclipses of the Moon in February and August in the year 1682. THe first great Eclipse of the Moon will be on the Eleventh day of February about Eleven at night Which denotes crosses losses and sickness to happen to Saylors Merchants Scribes Students and many Noble men and that many such will be in danger of being oppressed some way by the wrath of Princes It denotes some kind of hurt to the fruits of the Earth and to Corn and I doubt it will cause many discords amongst men and many distempers of the brain if not absolute madness It allso denotes turbulant and pernitious winds and much thunder and lightning and some more then ordinary stir about Religion Its effects will cheifly be manifest in the countries and places under Virgo Pisses Sagittarius and Gemini the ascendant of London and according to the oppinion of the Antients it will manifestly operate in July and so continue for about four months THe second great Eclipse of the Moon will happen on the Eight day of August about Six in the morning but invisible to us This threatens the Earths Inhabitants either with the Plague or some very dangerous and destructive sicknesses and mortality and with scarcity or dearness of Corn. It denotes the ruine of Ancient Buildings Divisions and hatred amongst Professors of Religion Imprisonment and Captivity Great variances and disunity in Councils high winds and Tempests at sea dangerous sailing It denotes destruction to Fishes and to small Cattle it hath a wofull signification whether people will believe or not it may cause madnesse or some very bad distempers in the brain It also denotes the overflowing of Rivers it very much threatens Samaria Ethiopia Italy Sicily Bohemia and some part of Turky Hamborrough Rome Prague Bristol and in a lesse measure Ireland Russia Persia Cappadocia Barbary Frankford upon Odar Valentia in Spain But according to Astrologicall rules it will not very manifestly operate till about the month of July 1683 and from thence will so continue about four months Sorrows attend the world when ' clipses great With many rare conjunctions opperate With Comets too whose strange united force May make unsetl'ed times yet worse and worse Let 's all lament repent and pray that we May
