Laws to his Neighbouring Nations Indeed he was a Man ordained to bring a great deal of Calamity upon Europe in order to prepare Matter for one that shall be far greater than he But were I to write the Calamity that is like to befall the French these succeeding years it would take up a large Volumn but this I will let them know that the Commons of France will be in Arms in a short time against this present King and I have good reason to believe that he if he lives to see but two years will be driven from his Seat by his own Subjects and if he doth die before as I believe he will then the next King will be served so and the Turk will invade his Countrey and lay many of his Cities waste the Protestants of France will joyn with the Turk in the doing of it then will there be great Wo to those Roman Clergy they will have cause to curse the time that over they were born to be the cause of so much Bloodshed Neither will Spain be free from great Calamity for he must strike his Sail to that mighty Monarch the Othoman Emperour And thou Oh! Italy hath a great share of this Cup of Gods Wrath for great will be the Scarcity that will be in thy fruitful Countrey and a universal Plague will overspread thy Territories and the Turk will destroy with Fire and Sword a great part of thy famous Towns and Cities and he will come even to the Gates of Rome and Saok it as bad as the Gauls did and will keep Possession and destroy it with Fire and strew Salt upon it then will the Pope be forced to fly from Place to Place and soon after will there be no more such Cattle in the World About which time the Turk will possess Venice and will to the grief of all Christendom lay that most famous City waste and carry the poor Italians into Captivity Neither shall the Muscovite be free for the Tartar will gain from him a great part of his Countrey on one side and the Turk on the other insomuch that it will bring great Calamity upon his Countrey many of his Towns shall be destroyed by Fire and his People will be carried into Captivity That most famous Kingdom of Poland will be a great Sufferer insomuch that the very Key of Christendom will be lost and his most fruitful Territories will be made a Province of the now Emperour of the Turks CHAP. V. Of the Opinion of MAHOMET and under what Constellation it had its Rise and under what Constellation it will please God it shall have its Desolution THE Opinion of Mahomet may be said to have its Rise at the time that Mahomet had his Flight at Mecca being drove from thence by the Saracens and from thence the Saracens began their Computation of Years which was in the year 591 and in the year 590 in July there was a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Gemini and about twenty nine Degrees thereof and upon the sixth day of July 590 at two Hours fifty three Minutes Post Meridiem and the Figure for the Latitude of Mecca which is twenty three Degrees and is also to the Eastward of London three Hours twenty three Minutes the Figures for both London and Mecca are as follow MECCA ♀ in ♌ 1 53  ☿ in ♌ 14 16  10 House in ♎ 29 14 4.

Con. the Moon shall signifie a rude People which are secluded from all Skilfulness by the Judgment of all Astrologers therefore that Law is Rude Gross and Popular and an Enemy to Learning even as the common People are for by reason of the Dominion of Mars in the Watry Triplicity and his being in the same Triplicity in his own House in Trine to the Ninth it injoyneth it self to be protected not by Arguments but by Arms hence it is that whosoever shall but in the least degree scandalize their Law shall be slain with Iron and because the Moon is exceeding swift in comparison of the other Planets therefore shall it vehemently undervalue all other Laws nor will it be said to be Presidented by another Again to speak Astrologically seeing that the Faith of Mahomer remaineth Martial and Lunar if we take the great year of both Mars and the Moon and the half Summe of both their years and add to the time of the Rise of Mahomet it will bring us to the time that Faith shall begin to be Abrogated Now if we add only the great years of Mars and the Moon to the Rise of Mahomet that will bring us to the time of their greatest height as for Example the great years of Mars are 480 years and the great year of Luna is 260 years these two being added make 740 years which 740 years being added unto Anno Domini 591 the time that Mahomet had his Flight from Mecca
the 14th year of Christ and also of that Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter that preceded the coming of Mahomet the Saviour of the Turks and the Supremacy of the Popes of Rome from which Conjunctions not only the Causes of this mighty Empires Ebbing and Flowing but also the Ebbing and Flowing of Christianity and likewise the Ebbing and Flowing of Mahometism and also the Change of that Opinion to Christianity will I hope bring great Content to all the Sons of Art CHAP. I. Of the Rise of the Nation of the Turks and under what Constellation they had their Beginning THE Turks were a sort of People called Scythians that left their Native Country in the Year of our Lord 844 under the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in the fiery Sign Leo and did seat them selves in Armenia after a Rude manner until Tangrolipix was sent by the Turks with 3000 Men to the aid of Mahomet the Sultan of Persia and in a year or two after he was chosen himself by the Souldiers Sultan of Persia in the Year of our Redemption 1030 this was under a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Taurus Tangrolipix was chosen Sultan of Persia three years after the Conjunction it self the next time that Saturn and Jupiter made their Conjunction in Taurus the Turks had a great War with the Christians Jerusalem is taken by the latter and Godfrey Duke of Bullon made King thereof by consent of the Christian Army and when Saturn and Jupiter made their last Conjunction in the Earthy Triplicity Viz. Virgo Jerusalem was again Re-taken by Saladin the Sultan of the Turks and under the same Conjunction Viz. In the year 1202 the Turks were drove out of Persia by the Tartars and were forced to settle their Kingdom in lesser Asia at Sebastia and Ivontum and when Saturn and Jupiter made the first Conjunction in Libra after their enâ—tance in the Airy Triplicity the Turks were driven out of Aegypt by the Mamilukes in the year 1250 five years after the Conjunction and they set up a Kingdom of themselves which Kingdom continued for the space of 267 years at which time they were Viz. in the year 1517 and nine years after the sixth Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Selymus the victorious Emperour of the Turks overthrown and the Kingdom of Aegypt with all Syria and the Land of Palestine brought into the Form of Provinces united unto the Turks Empire At the same time that the Turks Kingdom was Founded by Tangropipix in Persia was also another Kingdom of theirs at the City of Machan but nothing compaparable to the other either in Glory or Power At the time of the Turks being driven out of Persia by the Tartar one Solyman Reigned at Maehan and was also driven out of his Kingdom this Solyman was not of the same Family of Tangropipix but was of the Oguzian Tribe this Solyman and his Oguzian Turks wandred till they came to Euphrates where Solyman by endeavouring to find a Passage was there drowned he left behind him four Sons Sencur Teken Jundogdis and Ertogrul the Father of Othoman the Founder of the Turks Empire that now is and Dunder This Dunder and his Brother Ertogrule with four hundred Families stayed by the River at a Place called Pasin-Ovasi while the other two Brethren and the rest of the Turks passed the River and returned again into Persia this Ertogrul having three Sons Viz. Jundus Serugatius and Othoman sent his second Son Serugatius to Aladin to desire him to let him have a Corner of his Country that wanted Peopling to rest in which Request was granted and after a short time for some good Service that this Ertogrul had done the Sultan Aladin gave him and his Turks a Country Village called Sugata in the greater Phrygia and so continued these Turks for a small time still increasing until Ertogrul after he had Governed the Oguzian Families 52 years dyed in the Year of our Lord 1289 after whose Death the Oguzian Turks chose Othoman to be their Governour as may be seen by any who please to peruse the Turkish History CHAP. II. Of the Astrological Judgment of the Continuation of the Othoman Family OThoman after the death of his Father taking upon him the Government of the Oguzian Turks in the year 1689 we are to consider under what Constellation he Founded this great Empire The last Conjunction that was of Saturn and Jupiter was in Aquarius four years before and his Father Ertogrul began to govern the Oguzian Turks under the Gubernation of Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius the year of our Lord 1237 the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter happening in the year 1226 eleven years before But forasmuch as Othoman is accounted to be the beginning of this Family of the Turks it will be needful that we consider the Conjunction that happened in 1285 on the 11th day of December at 18 2 P. M. being the time of the New Moon proceding for which and for Constantinople it being in the Lat. of 43 Deg. and by reason it is 2 H. 18 to the Eastward of London therefore the time there will be 20 H. 20 P. M. for which time the Figure following was set 10 House â™ 4 45 4 House ♉ 4 45 11 House â™ 25.30 5 House ♉ 25 30 ☋ 1 2 ☊ 1 2 12 House â™ 14.10 6 House ♊ 14 10 ☉ ☽ in â™ 27 40  Ascendant ♑ 8 7 7 House ♋ 8 7. ♀ in ♑ 12 52  ☿ in ♑ 18 4  ♈ in â™’ 4 20  ♄ in â™’ 4 35  ♒ 23 50 Second 8 House â— 27 50  ♠in â™ 3 39 3 House 4 10 ♈ 9 House ♎ 4 10 From this very Figure any one that is but meanly versed in the Art of Astrology may know that Aquarius is a fixed Sign and that Saturn doth wholly take delight therein and he doth dispose of three of the Planets Viz. Jupiter Venus and Mercury and Jupiter doth dispose of both the Sun and Moon and Mercury doth dispose of Mars all Astrologers do allow Saturn to represent all Staple Monarchs because he very seldom applys to any of the Planets but geâ—â—â—ally all the other Planets to him and seeing we find him in this Conjunction in Aquarius the more staple will that Monarch be that is represented by him and forasmuch as the Othoman Family had their Rise soon after this Conjunction therefore we shall take Saturn as he is placed in Aquarius to represent that Family then will Taurus upon the Cusp of the fifth represent his People that he shall Govern and Leo upon the Cusp of the eighth will according to Astrology represent his publick Enemies and Capricorn his own House and Mercury and Venus his private Enemies and Taurus upon the Cusp of the fourth and Sagittarius upon the twelfth with the Sun and Moon will represent his Neighbours and Allies Now all these Places that are under Aquarius Leo Taurus and Virgo will feel the heavy hand of this Monarchy and
himself in a City called Neapolis and took upon himself Regal Power In this year and the year before the Conjunction 1308 it self came to the Sextile of both Sun and Moon and Mars came also by direction to the Conjunction it self and also in the year 1305 Saturn and Jupiter made their first Conjunction in Libra the Exaltation of Saturn during of these 20 year the Turk by the division of the Greek Empire gaining footing in Europe gained many Battles but was invited into Europe by the Cattalonians the Island of Rhodes was taken from the Turk in the year 1308. In the year 1324 Saturn Jupiter made their second Conjunction of the Rise of this Kindom in Gemini in Trine to the place of the Conjunction 1285 three years after this Prusa one of the great Cities of Asia yielded to Othoman and he makes it his Royal Seat and the year after Othoman himself died and his Son Orchanus Succeeds during of whose Reign he had good success but not upon Europe he takes Carasiina and Callipolis and Nicomedia and dyed in the year of our Lord 1359 and his Son Amurath the first began to Reign In the year 1264 you will find in my Catastrophe Mundi that Saturn and Jupiter made their fourth Conjunction in Libra during which Conjunction Boga is taken by Amurath and so is Didymaticum and is again recovered by the Christians and demolished and was again new builded by the Turk Servia is also invaded by Amurath Missa and Apollonia won by him also in the year 1387 three years after the fifth Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Gemini Amurath had Asia invadded by Aladin his Son in Law and in the year 1390 was stab'd by a wounded Souldier and Bajazet began to Reign Bajazet soon after his coming to the Crown invades Servia twice in one year in the year 1396 was fought a great Battle between Bajazet and the Christians where of the Turks were slain 60000 and of the Christians 20000 and the year after Viz. 1397 was the great Battle between Tamberlen and Bajazet whereof were no less than 400000 Turks and Tartars slain and Bajazet taken and put into a Iron Cage and carryed through all Asia Bajazet beats out his Brains in the year 1399 the mean time Tamberlen ' conquers all Asia and Aegypt and all the Turks Territories and all in five years he dies in the year 1202 at Samarcand in the year 1405 but one year after the first Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Piscis and the sixth Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter since the Rise of this Family began Mahomet the first he having a great deal of trouble by reason of his Brothers striving who should have the Crown This short Reign of Tamberline is worth our taking notice of he beginning his Conquest under the influence of the Conjunction in Gemini and the last of that Triplicity and so soon as Saturn and Jupiter made their first Conjunction in Piscis the Conjunction being in Square to the Conjunction that went before and in Sextile to the Conjunction that preceded the Rise of this Family that made that Family begin to settle it self again and gained in a small time all that Tamberlen had taken from Bajazet this twentieth year was spent in the Civil War between Mahomet and his Brother Musa and Solyman and he died in the year 1422 he Reigned but seven years over his Fathers Territories and 10 years was he gaining of them he left his Son Amurath the second to Reign in his stead From the year 1424 to the year 1432 the Turks attempt Prore but in vain for Mustapha the supposed Son of Bajazet raiseth Rebellion against Amurath he in vain besieged Constantinople but in the year 1432 he takes Thessalonia A great Plague among the Turks Hungaria wasted Belgrade is besieged and the Turks forced to draw off with great loss during the time of the Influence of this Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in it falling in exact square to the Conjunction that precedes their Rise he got but little but the Slaughter of his Men but in the year 1444 there was a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Cancer After this year the Turks grew Victorious Transilvania and Valachia invaded and spoiled by the Turk the great Battle between Amurath and the King Vladistance the Christians lost the day after the Christians break the Truce with the Turks in the year 1445 Greece was made Tributary to the Turks in the year 1448 was the great Battle between Amurath and Huniades where most part of the Hungarian Nobility with 57000 Turks and Christians were slain In the year 1450 Amurath died and Mahomet the first Emperour but the second of that Name began to Reign in the year 1453 Constantinople was taken by the Turk and also the Country of Servia In the year 1456 Huniades obtained a great Victory against the Turks that being but two years after the Opposition of Saturn and Jupiter from Virgo and Taurus both of them casting their hateful Square to the Sign Aquarius the place of the Conjunction at the Rise of the Othoman Family Mahomet the same time being wounded and carryed away for dead In the year 1464 there was a Conjunction of Saturn Jupiter in Piscis in this year Mahomet invades Epirus Scanderbeg doth destroy a great many of the Turks and until Scanderbeg died Mahomet could not get any thing by invading of that Country Scanderbeg died in the year 1466 and from that time till 1470 the Turks did not prosper for Mathias King of Hungaria took the Kingdom of Bosna from the Turks in the year 1469 but in the year 1470 Chalcis and the chief City of Euhoa were taken by the Turks but yet the Venetian and the great Master of the Rhodes did great harm along the Coast of lesser Asia In the year 1478 Scodra was taken by the Turk after a years Siege and in the year 1481 Mahomet was poisoned and Bajazet began his Reign In the year 1484 there was a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Virgo in Square to the Conjunction that preceded their Rise during the time of the Operation of this Conjunction the Turk did not prosper at all for the Mamalukes in Aegypt gained great Victory against him and he at last was poisoned in the year 1512 there being a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter nine years before in Cancer and the Opposition of Saturn and Jupiter was a hastening from Virgo and Tanrus both of them being in Square to the Conjunction precede the Rise of the Family Selymus his Son Reigned In his stead In the year 1250 began the Kingdom of the Mamalukes in Aegypt under a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Libra and under a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Cancer Selymus drove the Mamalukes out of Aegypt the Conjunction was in the year 1503 and in the year 1517 was the Downfall of the Mamalukes In the year 1520 died Selymus and his Son Solymon
began to Reign and in the year 1521 Belgrade was won by Solyman And in the year 1522 the Island of Rhodes was also taken by Solymon There was a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Piscis in the year 1525. Solymon invaded Hungaria and in the year 1526 the King of Hungaria was drowned in a Dith and in the same year the Vavod of Transilvania chosen King of Hungaria and in the year 1528 King John was driven out of Hungaria by Fardinando and is himself Crowned King at Alba Regulis and in 1529 Solymon came again into Hungaria with a great Army and takes Buda without Resistance and spoiles Austria Attenburgh taken and Solyman besieges Vienna but is forced to raise the Siege with the loss of eighty thousand men but Solymon restored King John to the Kingdom of Hungaria In the year 1532 Solyman cometh again into Hungaria and sends 15000 men under the Command of Cason to spoil Austria A great Blazing Star seen In the year 1523 the Turk besieged Carone but was beat off In the year 1537 King Ferdinand breaks League with Solymon but got little by it but the loss of the Christians In the year 1540 King Ferdinand invades Hungaria and takes Vicgrod and in the year 1541 the Queen of Hungaria joyneth with the Turk and burns Vacia and takes Buda and Solymon craftily detains the Nobles of Hungaria in his Camp and converts the Kingdom of Hungaria to a Province of the Turkish Empire and in the year 1543 Alba Regulus is taken In that year there was a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Virgo in square to the Conjunction that preceded the Rise of the Family from that year to the year 1563 the Empire had but little Success but in the year 1563 there was a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Cancer and in the year 1566 there doth arise new troubles in Hungaria Solymon dyes of the Bloody-Flux at the Siege of Sigeth and Selymus Succeeds In the year 1570 Nicosia and Cyren was taken by the Turk and in the Year 1571 the Turks take Cyprus and in this year was that famous Fight at Lepanto by Don John of Austria In the year 1574. Maldavia and Valachia taken by the Turk Selymus dyes and Amurath Succeeds In 1575 Amurath invadeth Poland burned and destroyed two hundred Noblemens Houses besides a number of Towns and Villages and in the year 1577 they conclude a Peace again and from this year to the year 1592 he bends all his Forces against Persia and that way doth increase the Territories very much And in the year 1592 Amurath invades Croatia and takes Sisog and in the year 1595 Amurath died and Mahomet the third succeeded and from this year 1595 the Christians began to get ground of the Turks for in the year 1596 was a great Plague and Famine in Hungaria among the Turks and in the year 1598 Transilvania submitteth to the Emperour And also in the year 1596 was Strigonum and Vicegrade taken from the Turk by the Christians and also the Turks invade Valacha and ar◠forced to fly by the Christians In the years 1597 and 1598 the Turk hath no Success but the Christians gain ground of them and in the year 1600 Alba Regulus was taken by the Christians But in the year 1602 Alba-Regulus was again taken by the Turks and the Christians take Pesth and a many more Places and in the latter end of 1603 Mahomet III. dyed and his Son Achmat succeeds and soon after the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Sagittarius 1603 the Persian gains ground of the Turk and there is great Trouble in Transilvania And in the year 1605 the Turks take Strigonium but the Persians gain ground upon the Turk and there was for these two years a great Rebellion in Hungaria In the year 1606 there was a Peace between the German Emperour and the Sultan of Turky In the year 1611 a great Plague in Constantinople whereof dyed 200000 Persons In the year 1617 the Sultan Achmat dyed and Mustapha Succeeds but is soon deposed and Osman began at the age of sixteen years But in the year 1622 Mustapha is again re-inthroned and Osman strangled by Daout Bassa In the year 1623. Mustapha is again deposed and Morat at the age of fourteen years began to Reign during whose Reign he looses all he had in Persia and was very much afflicted with Troubles and all these things precede the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Leo six Degrees in Opposition to the great Conjunction in 1285 in five Degrees of Piscis CHAP. IV. Of the General Judgment Astrological of the further State of the Empire of the Turks and what Countries of Europe will be most Passive BUt that we may begin our Work from some certain Epoche of time and not involve our selves into a Laborinth of unnecessary Enquiries We are to consider that there is no material Accident either in Empires or Kingdoms which first of all had not a Beginning from some Radix Therefore with great diligence the first Roots or Foundations of things are to be inquired into And therfore by an Inquiry we sind the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius to proceed the Rise of this Mighty Monarch which in the year 1285 we shall make the Root of this and for that reason have I set a Figure for the Now-Moon preceding 〈◊〉 Now if we make the Place of the Conjunction it self to be the Degree Ascending and set the Figure for Constantinople you will find Mars to be the Lord of the tenth House which doth represent the Honour and Grandure of the Empire and Mars doth represent his Souldiers and that by the Sword he should maintain and gain all his Reputation Now Mars being placed in Virgo under which Sign Authors tell us is Achaia Greece Creet Croatia Corinthia Anthesina the Dukedom of Athens Mesopotamia Babylon Assyria Gallia Silesia Cities Hierusalem Corinth Rhodes Popia Signia Brundusium Aretium Novaria Tholosa Lyons Paris Basil Heidleburg Erphord Wratislavi Besides a many more Places which Authors have not allotted to this Sign as yet we sind by experience that a great many of these Places already are annexed to this Empire Likewise those Places that are in Sextile or Trine to the place of Mars at the time of this Conjunction will also go nigh to be in subjection to him all those places of the Zodiack that are in the Sextile is Cancer and Virgo and those places that are in the Trine are Taurus and Capricorn Now under Cancer are said to be Scotland Granado Burgundy Holland Zeland Prussia Numidia Africa Bithinia Chadchis Carthage Cities under are Constantinople Venice Tunis Genoa Lucas Pisa Millaine Berne York St. Andrew in Scotland Lubeck Megdeburg Wittenburg Gorlick Under Virgo are Norway Upper Bavaria Matagony Comogena Cappadocia Idumia Mauritania Fez Gethulia Catalonia Cities are Algiers Valentia in Spain Trabezone Vrbine Pestorium Aquilegia Camerinum Tarvisum Forum Julium Massana Vienna Alehstade Monachum Gaunt Frankford upon Odor
A great many of these Places hath he already got and the rest will suffer by him in a short time Under Taurus are Russia Polonia Great Swedeland the North part Lorraign Campania Helvetia Rhetia Franconia Parthia Persia Ireland Cyclades the Island of Cyprus and the Sea Towns of Lesser Asia Of Cities Bononia Sona Matua Tarentum Panorme in Sicily Peruficum Caput Histria Brixi Zurich Lucerne Nants Herbibolis Carolâ—tade Posnania Lipzig Gnesna Novograde Besides a many more places Under Virgo are Macedonia Illyria Thracia Bosina Albania Bulgaria part of Greece Muscovia Lituania Saxony Hassia Thuringia Marchia Stiria Orchades India Ariana Gedrasia Of Cities Oxford Mechlin Juliacum Berga Brandenburg Austusta Vindelicorum Constance Derthona Faventia So likewise all those Places that are in Square and Opposition to Virgo will meet with great Devastation by the force of this Empire The Places that are in Square are Gemini and Sagittarius Now if we may believe the Antient they tell that under Sagittarius are Spain Dalmatia Sclavonia Hungary Moravia Misnia Celtia Thirronia Arabia the happy Of Cities Toledo Voleteras Mutina Narbon Avinion Colonia Agrippina Studgard Rotenburg Buda Gascovia And under Gemini are according to Authors part of Lumberdy part of England Flanders Brabant and the Dukedom of Wertenburgh Hircania Armenia Martiania Cyrenia Marmarica Aegypt the Lower Of Cities London Corduba in Spain Viturbium Cecenam Turny Vercellas Rhegium Lovain Bruges in Flanders Mentz Kitzing Hosford Bamberge Villacum Norimberg And under Piscis the opposite Sign to Virgo are according to Authors Cilicia Calabriana Portugal Galicia Normandy Phasimia Nosomonia in Libia Garamantes Lydia Phamphilia and Higher Aegypt Of Cities Alexandria Hispolis Compostella Parentium Rhimes Worms Ratispont So likewise not only all those Places that are under the Signs that Mars doth behold but all those Places that the place of the Conjuction doth behold and that is Aquarius Libra Leo Aries Under Aquarius the Place of the Conjunction are Amazonia Sarmatia Great Tartary Valachia Muscovia the South part of Swedeland Westphalia Mosel Piedmont part of Bavaria Ethiopia Oxiania Sogdiana Media Arabia Desert and Stony Of Cities Hambourough Breme Mountferate Pisarum Trent Salizburgh Ingolstade Under Leo is Galla Fagata the Alps Italy Sicily Apalia Bohemia part of Turky Aemilia Sabina Phenicia Chaldea Orchinia Of Cities Demasco Syracuse Rome Rovenna Cremona confluente Prague Liniz Crimisicum Under Libra are Austria Alsatia Livoia Sabandia Delphinat Bastrina Thusia Seres Caspia Thebadu Olsim Trogloditica Sundgavia Of Cities Lisbon Cajetam Laudam Suessam Placentia Felkirch Friburg Argentine Spiers Frankford at Mane Holam Suenorum Wimpina Heiâ—bran Frisings Mospachiam Laudshut Vienna in Austria Antwerp And under Aries are said to be England France Germany in general Higher Silesia part of Polonia Burgundy Denmark Basternia Syria Palestine Cities Naples Capua Ancona Farrara Florence Verona Bergano Lindaw Vtrecht Padua Marcelles Epidaure Crackow Augustam Caragosa Wenieca It is very well worth our noting that the Conjunction and the place of Mars doth behold all the twelve Signs but it cannot be expected that the Turk should have all the Places that are under the twelve Sings but he will go night to have all those Places that had their beginning under the Influence of Saturn and Jupiter when they were conjoyned in four five or six Degrees of any of them because those parts both Mars Saturn and Jupiter do behold all round Now any one that will be but pleased to consider all of the Conjunctions of Saturn and Jupiter is any of the Sigus since the Rise of this Family you will find that these Places have been the greatest Sufferers that had their Signs beholding the place of Mars by any bad Aspect in the Conjunction that preceded the Rise of that Family And seeing that great Expectations of the Turks Mo ion into Eundpe upon the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in 1682 and 1683 we olight to consider how the Figure of this Conjunction doth sympathise with the Conjunction that was the Rise of the Family the Figures of the Conjunction you may see in my Catastrophs Mundi Now if we place the Conjunction it self upon the Cusp of the Ascendant and set the Figure for Constantinople you will find Mars to be upon the Radical place of Mars in the Conjunction in 1285 and there doth make a very quick passage through that Sign and before the second Conjunction in 168â— 3 in January Mars will have got into Libra and there doth make a long and tedious transite no less than eight Months and all the while he passes through Libra he doth afflict Capricorn Cancer and Aries besides the Sign he passes through by his Passage through Libra he doth threaten Austria with great Devastation and also the taking of Vienna it self and the general Conquest of the East Part of Germany and almost all those Places that are in Christendom under Libra Aries Capricorn and Cancer about five Degrees thereof And that the young Artist may be able to give a reasonable Conjecture of Mars's long transit through Libra it will be convenient to set a Figure for the New Moon preceding the second Conjunction because at that time the Sun was Eclipsed and the middle of that Ecclipse fell at London by the best Tables at 4 hours 35 minutes post Meridiem and at Vienna in Austria at 5 hours 40 minutes post Meridiem and in the Latitude of 48 degrees 22 minutes was this following Figure set 10 House ♉ 7 45 4 House â™ 7 45   11 House ♊ 20 5 House â™ 20   12 House ♋ 25 30 6 House ♑ 25 30  ☿ in â™’ 1 0 ☊ in ♌ 15 00 ☉ ☽ 8 d. 10 m. â™’ ♄ in ♌ 17 57 ☋ in â™’ 15 ♃ in ♌ 18 38 ♀ 18 12 â™’ â„ž retrograde Aseendant ♌ 20 7 House â™’ 20   2 House â™ 11 10 House ♓ 11 10   House ♎ 4 50 House ♈ 4 50 ♂ in ♎ 23 11  The reason that I set this figure for Vienna in Austria is because that Saturn and Jupirer are near then arising in their Horison when the Sun suffers the greatest defect and at that very same time both Sun and Moon and Mercury are in Square to the Sign of the 10th House and Venus Lady of the 10th House is in Opposition to the Conjunction it self and is Retrograde also and doth run so far backward in the Sign she is in until she doth come to be in Square to the 10th House also and then doth transit the place of the Ecclipse with a Conjunction and when she is become direct again meet both with Opposition of Saturn and Jupiter All these things are very well worth any Artist's taking notice of by which he may find what is a coming upon that part of Christendom Now it is allowed by all that have any knowledge in Astrology that the Ascendant of an Ecclipse doth represent the commonality of People if so you will find Sol the Lord thereof to be
