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. FINIS

scape dearth warrs and plague in eighty three And also in eighty four But in the world there are many unbelieving people and ignorant enemies of Astrological Predictions that think I have too much affrighted the nation by my judgment in my other little book and perhaps may think I have done the like now and so will not believe that God hath given such power to Stars Planets Comets or any Heavenly bodies to cause those effects on earth but rather through their ignorance think that God usualy causeth most effects without them but let them consider the Moon and how God is pleased to tumble about the waters thereby and not without the Moon and let them consider the Sun and how God thereby causeth the earth and trees to bring forth there increase and fruit thereof and not without the Sun and as it hath pleased God to set the two great lights of Heaven in offices very manifest to the world in like manner he was pleased to give all the other Planets and lesser Lights of Heaven offices and power when the first treated them according to their natures to effect his will and purpose on Earth Moreover God that made all things can at his pleasure make use of all other his creatures so that he will not be confined to work only by the Starres or only secretly and internally by his spirit but what other wayes he pleaseth so that the Maker of all works in and by all and is therefore God over all and is worthy of all praise honour and worship from all Therefore it is no dishonour to God to say he causeth effects on Earth by Stars above but they rather rob their Maker of his Glory that contend against this Sublime and Heavenly Science as if it were unlawfull for us to lift up our eyes to the Heavens that declare the Glory of God and to the Firmament wherein are fixed so many glittering and glorius Ornaments that sheweth his handy work But there are ●iversities of natural gifts And therefore to one it is given to know those things above another ●nd further to convince those unbelievers of the truth and certainty of the Influences of all Celestial bodies let them look back to the year 1664 wherein there appeared a Comet and to the year 1663 where there happened a great Conjunction of Saturne and Jupiter in the fiery sign Sagittarius and to the year 1659 when the fourteenth revolution of the great Orb since the Creation was perfected I say let them look back and consider if since those yeares there have not happened very remarkable Terrestrial Changes and wonderfull Events according to the rules of and conseqently promotive to the rare and highly to be esteemed Science of Astrology The Loadstone's secret vertue can command And strangely turn the Needle to each hand So ev'ry creature that hath life and sense Is govern'd by the starry influence Of the Three Conjunctions of Saturn and Jupiter in the fiery sign Leo now near at hand whereof one will happen on the 9th day of October 1682. and one on the 30th of January following the last on the 2d day of May following It is both rare and wonderfull that those Two superiour Planets should be no lesse than three times conjoyned in somewhat lesse than seven Months in the fiery sign Leo there having been but only one Conjunction there above these 700 yeares And therefore those Three Conjunctions proclaim a threefold woe to the Inhabitants of the Earth though many may not believe it but cheifly to the Countrys Cityes Townes Villages and Persons under the sign Leo Therefore wo wo and a third wo to Italy Sicily Bohemia and some part of Turky to the City of Damascus and chiefly to the City of Rome the fountain of Popery follie and wickednesse for those Conjunctions that happen in the fiery ●rigon do chiefly respect Men Matters and Places of the highest account the Pope Popery and Rome have too long been so that I conclude this Triple or Threefold Conjunction in Leo the ascendant of Rome and all Italy will in a few yeares either strike of his Triple Crown or give him three terrible strokes whereby he will loose the greatest part of his Honour Power and Majesty on earth for the strokes will be the more dreadfull because of the Two other Conjunctions viz. of Jupiter and Mars and Saturn and Mars in the same sign Leo near the degree of the first Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter Jupiter is too vertuous a Planet to own the Pope or his Orders but it being more natural to him to own good Christians he hath assigned the Pope up to Saturn the Author of Plots and mischief and Saturn being weaker than Jupiter in the conflict for they 'l have a Combat when they are in Conjunction because of the contrariety of their natures Saturn being cold and dry and the greatest infortune and Jupiter being hot and moist and the greatest fortne therefore the Pope and his Orders in a few years must needs have a great Downfal for Jupiter is not only stronger than Saturn but is resolved to fight with his adversary three times in somewhat lesse than seaven Months with the undaunted courage of a Lyon Oh Rome thy abominations have been Great and thy Great sinnes remaihst which thy Great head the Pope hath to the Great dishonour ofned Great God undertook to pardon But now the Great year is at hand and thy Great sorrowes are approaching and thy foundation will Greatly be shaken because it is not the Rock of Ages the sure foundation Great Judgments are preparing for thee Never yet I suppose received thou such terrible strokes Since thou wast first called Rome as those in few years are like to be Quamobrem gaudeamus maxime laetemur God hath not made Celestial works in vain But in them pow'r and vertue great remain They cause effects on earth by them we know That God is working changes here below Of the Lord of the year Saturn laies claim to be Lord of the year because he hath the greatest Dignities in the Hylegiacal places of the three Vernal figures and he and the Moon are both in the Lyon in an Angle of strife the house of war and his Lord is with the body of Mars partly through which and partly through the great Dignities that Mars hath in the Hylegiacal places of the Vernal figure we may joyn him as a Copartner with Saturn the Angles being also more fixt than Moveable that strong stedfast and not much whiffling will the resolutions of many discontented Martial minded persons be to carry on weighty but wicked designes that this is likely enough to be a year of evil conspiracies and of great disunity and rather of Martial activity than of dronishnesse and the better to satisfy all friendly Readers I referre them to my Monthly Observations following Monthly Observations breifly containing the most remarkable events and accidents that are likely to happen in every particular
