more by Peace then War Therefore Frenchmen and Hollanders be not too forward your repentant hour is near unlesse in time you be so wise as to make peace with the English Nation all whose Enemies shall truckle under her so that there will be great hopes of concluding an honourable Peace with one or more Nations who now begin to find that fighting against the English a People from the beginning ordained for victory is to no purpose since the Stars have designed them never to take the foile unlesse by Treachery from within herself from any people in the whole world Mr. Fly saith Our Enemies begin to comply be more mild and think of friendship And speaking of cloudy inconstant weather It is saith he much like our Enemies the French and the Dane who are still plotting and contriving against us but to little purpose Glad would they be to be quiet Mr. Andrews in several of his monthly Observations declares himself thus Providence smiles upon the Kingdome of England And we doubt not but that the Heavens will favour the English and that his Majesties Subjects will be in a thriving and good Posture And his Armies and Navyes whereever employed will be very successfull in all their undertakings and performe some businesse of consequence The Emperours Dominions not quiet The Swedes are active The Danes full of troubles but still we find the Kingdome of England in a flourishing temper and the English seem very formidable in sundry parts of the world so that we have great cause to predict good success to the Forces and Navyes of his Majesty of Great Britain wherever engaged Moreover about July the Hollander or Datch may be sufficiently sensible of the malitious aspects of the Starrs for assuredly their Forts and Ships are not far off from danger and if God have not ere then composed the differences between his Majesty of Great Britain and that people viz. the Dutch then they must expect to be very much humbled by the English Towards the Baltique Sea somewhat very considerable may happen wherein the Danes and Hollanders may be highly concerned and if they shall appear with their Fleet and Navy in a Warlike posture against the English in August then let them take what follows viz. a total or fatal overthrow Lastly we do perfectly discover by the Positions and Configurations of the Starrs that his Majesties Kingdomes and Dominions will be in a prosperous condition and be blessed in their undertakings even to the very amazement of Forreign Countries But afflictions miseries troubles and misfortunes shall attend the Dutch this year and they must expect no good success unlesse God in mercy shall grant them the favour of his Majesty of Great Britain before the Spring 1667 or if Heaven have not ere that time directed those people unto a happy compliance or composition of controversies with him Then speaking of London he saith and assuredly we have now great cause to affirm that London our English Metropolis shall be in a flourishing state again and in a very prosperous condition so that people may safely build houses there as being confident according to the rules of Art of the great felicity that shall ere long attend that City Then turning his discourse to France he saith We have sufficient cause to predict that some sad and disastrous Events will in this year 1667. befall the City of Paris and that the French Kings Affairs will find much interruption in sundry parts of the World and the French and Dutch will be in a sad condition unless they comply with England and we hope the World towards the latter end of 1667. will appear in a more setled condition then formerly Mr. Saunders saith From good and rational grounds I pronounce that the Revolutions of the Heavens this Year promise much prosperity to come to formerly afflicted London and her Governours in her re-edification and that such Prizes or Composition may probably be brought in from the amazed and depressed Dutch that may adde much to her felicity and well replete his Majesties Treasures for till a Submissive Peace be concluded the English will gain ground of that elated Nation who proudly assume the Attributes of the Creator calling themselves High and Mighty which Blasphemy will sufficiently be rewarded by the next Revolution 1668. which time will set his Majesty of England free with Victory and Honour over all his Enemies therefore though things be banded to and fro and look upon us with a face of unsettlement in the mean time let us rest assured in this That the year 1668. will be a Jubilee to England and I derive this Judgement from warrantable grounds of Art But this present year will be a time of Action much businesse and great designs attempted But the language of the Stars in general speak prosperity to England with good successe and especially to her famous Metropolitan London which the Almighty will miraculously to her glory raise out of the ashes and like Job redouble her fame and losses and command the very Treasures of her Enemies to repair her Ruines and those noxious natural qualities which both affected and infected the Earth her air and waters are now spent and exhausted which likewise predicts her happiness as to health for many succeeding years Mr. Lilly pronounceth his Judgement in these terms viz. The King of France and his Kingdom or the several Provinces Dukedoms or Principalities thereof are threatned this year more particularly he is to suffer great damage in his Affairs by the death of some eminent Ecclesiastical person or one of the prime Magistrates of his Kingdom as also by reason of some general turbulent commotion of his oppressed Subjects And it may also be rationally affirmed that some sudden occasion of War will much discompose the great Affairs of his Imperial Majesty from an Eastern people or in his own Eastern Patrimony or Dominion nor is there like to be any handsome Unity between the Monarch of France and him but rather that a fierce War will ensue betwixt the Germans and French When this War doth break forth then will France suffer great mischief as well internally in the bowels of her Country as externally from the Invasions of several other people We do also probably conj●cture that in or near the Years 1672. or 1673. there will be some irruption made into Poland or other Countries towards those parts by the rude Tartars and many fresh Controversies or Differences will fall out betwixt the Swedes and Crown of Denmark Secondly we find in one of the Sybils a Prophesie thus written viz. That a Star shall arise in Europe over the Iberians towards the great House of the North whose beams shall unexpected enlighten the whole World and this person is to appear when most Nations being wearied with War shall willingly embrace Peace so that a Great and Warlike King or Prince shall arise out of the North whose Wars and Actions shall be diametrically opposite to the present Times
