SHEWING How plainly the Stars did point at that never to be forgotten Popish Plot and other Remarkable Affairs of that Year By William Knight Student in Astrology and Physick London Printed by E. T. and R. H. for Thomas Passinger at the Three Bibles on London Bridge 1681. Ptolomy saith Ex Solis existentia in Ariete Vernalem qualitatem cognoscemus by the Sun 's entring into Aries we are to judge and know the event and success of the accidents of the Spring Guido Bonatus Post quam certificatus fueris ad unguem de tempore introitus Solis in A ietem vide quis ex Planetis sit Dominus anni when we have exactly calculated and found out the true time of the Sun his entrance into Aries then we are to see what Planet is Lord of the year in this Figure of Heaven ♄ is Almuten of the Horoscope and therefore is Lord of the year yet we may allow ♂ Co-partner with him in regard he is exalted in the Sign Ascending two prime Guids there was no doubt of this years being well governed all the Planets under the Earth and four of them in □ to ♄ who is posited in ♊ a humane Sign in ☌ with Aldebaran a violent fixed Star of the nature of ♂ signified occult Conspiracies wicked Plots and Devices Treacheries and violent Actions among men but as ☿ Lord of the eighth is in ☌ with ♂ Lord of the tenth and both of evil Aspect to ♄ so would Justice with Death repay some of those desperate Agents ♄ signifies Monks Jesuits Fryers c. and he being in □ to ♂ Lord of the tenth so well as to the ☽ in the Ascendent argued their hellish design was at Prince and People to abandon or destroy the established Government and to erect their own detestable Principles and this they might think themselves sure of by reason ♄ disposes of the ☽ and is in ⚹ to the ☉ but he is peregrine and confronted by no less than four Planets as before noted and ♂ who is Lord of the tenth and exalted in the Ascendent is in his Triplicity and in perfect ⚹ with potent ♀ ergo he stands firm and ♄ must go to wrack maugre all his malicious contrivances we read in the fifth Chapter of Judges and rhe twentieth Verse that the Stars in their courses fought against Sisera and truly here we may see that the Stars in their courses fought against the Papists for which let all true hearted English Protestants give due praise and glory to God Almighty who commissioned them so to do and in this the Anti-Astrologer would be much the better employed than in busying his Brain Tongue or Pen in so amply displaying in Billingsgate Rhetorick his Ignorant malice against a worthy and harmless Science Albumazer a Learned Arabian Astrologer saith Mars cùm fuerit in revolutione anni in quarto Aspectu Saturni excitat bellum Mars when in the revolution of any year is in Quartile of Saturn he causeth Wars but he being seperated one degree from the perfect Aspect and ♀ in exact ⚹ with ♂ as also the Application of ☉ to the ⚹ of ♄ argued that notwithstanding the preparation noise or popular clamour that might be of Wars it would determine in Peace and this Judgment I delivered to some Friends who requested the same of me long before there was any publick suspicion of Wars but when there was so great preparation thereunto and Souldiers sent beyond Sea the certainty of War was affirmed Astrology degraded and I laughed at by my Friends nevertheless I told them still that they laughed before they won or was like to win as indeed it proved to the great honour of Art ♄ being the Lord of the year and afflicted as afore observed signified a sickly Season and a long and cold Winter which was so apparently true that I think none can deny it there are many excellent things to be extracted from the aforegoing Scheme of this years Affairs which I shall omit and proceed to the consideration of the Coeli Position at the Sun's Entrance into the Tropick of Cancer intending to see if God permit what may be observed from thence concerning the Popish Plot. Sol enters Cancer June the Eleventh 1678 at five hours fifty minutes ante meridiem at which time the Face of Heaven is as in the following Figure Ptolomy Ex Solis existentia in Cancro qualitas aestivalis deprehenditur by the Sun his entrance into Cancer the quality and nature of the Summer Quarter is known ♄ is in this Figure nearly in perfect □ to the place of ♃ in the Vernal Ingress he is Ruler of the seventh and eighth Houses and ♃ Lord of the ninth so that you see one of them is both naturally and accidentally the Significator of England's mortal Enemies and the other the natural and accidental Significator of the Reverend Clergy or the true Protestant

By William Knight Student in Astrology and Physick Si Deus nobiscum quis contra nos London Printed by E. T. and R. H. for Thomas Passinger at the Three Bibles on London-Bridge 1681. TO THE READER Courteous Reader THe divine and laudable Science of Astrology is a Learning that teaches by the Natures Motions Configurations Significations and Influences of the Heavens and Stars therein how to judge of future Contingencies or predict natural Events the word Astrology is derived from Astra and Logos which is as much as to say the Speech reasoning or language of the Stars and to this we find the Psalmist consent when he sings the Heavens declare the glory of God and the Firmament sheweth his handy works day unto day uttereth speech and night unto night sheweth knowledge there is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard their line is gone out through all the earth and their words to the end of the World in them hath he set a Tabernacle for the Sun which is a Bridegroom coming out of his Chamber● and rejoyceth as a strong man to run a race his going forth is from the ends of the Heaven and his circuit unto the ends of it and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof Psalm the 19.1 2 3 4 5 6. Thus being led by the signification of the word or appellation of this Noble Art unto those places of Scripture first I shall now look back to the beginning of the Holy Writ and so take along in order several portions thereof that farther prove the Stars to have influence on all sub-lunary things whether Animal Vegetable or Mineral to begin then observe And God said let there be Lights in the Firmament of the Heaven to divide the day from the night and let them be for Signs and for Seasons and for days and years And let them be for lights in the Firmament of the Heaven to give light upon the Earth and it was so And God made two great Lights the greater Light to rule the day and the lesser Light to rule the Night he made the Stars also And God set them in the Firmament of the Heaven to give light upon the earth and to rule over the day and over the night and to divide the light from the darkness and God saw that it was good Genesis the 1.14 15 16 17 18. And for the precious Fruits brought forth by the Sun and for the precious things put forth by the Moon Deuteronomy the 33.14 Again they sought from Heaven the Stars in their Courses fought against Sisera Judges the 5.20 Canst thou bind the sweet Influences of the Pleiades or loose the bands of Orion Job the 38.31 So likewise saith the Lord I will hear the Heavens and they shall hear the Earth and the Earth shall hear the Corn and the Wine and the Oyl and they shall hear Jezreel Hosea the 2.21 22. Many more places might be produced but these are sufficient to convince any sober Person that those glorious Bodies were not by their Maker placed in the Heavens only for ignorant people to gaze at but to shew forth his Almighty Power in their subordinate Rule and Government And now seeing this their Lordships is not managed by sensible and palpable acts and agitation it must needs follow that they have a secret and hidden way of Rule whereby they operate imperceptibly in all their agitations of their Dominion the Sun and Moon indeed have their palpable effects for the Sun is the Fountain of heat and that heat is the Nurse of Life also his presence and absence causeth day and night likewise his nearness to and remoteness from our Zenith together with the nature of the Parts of Heaven he passeth through causeth Summer and Winter heat and cold alteration of days and nights now the Moon seems to be as much the Fountain of moisture as the Sun is of heat as is apparent by the Tydes which constantly attend her motion and by all sorts of Shell-Fish and the eyes of Cats which are all fuller and bigger at the Full-Moon then they are at the Change or New-Moon Again it is very observable that if a man chance to fall asleep abroad in the Fields in a Moon-light night how she besots him and fills him with dulness and drowsiness but besides those palpable acts of the Sun and Moon they have their secret and imperceptible influence as the other Planets and Stars for though heat is the Nurse of Life and moisture an hand-maid to it yet it is not the mere heat which giveth life nor the mere moisture that helpeth to live for if so then might man make living Creatures artificially but this we see is past his skill to do the heat may hatch the eggs but all the art of man cannot make an egg that can be hatched No for there is a secret act of Sun and Moon besides the mere putting to of heat and moisture which produceth life both in sensitive and vegetive Animals And in these secret and insensible operations or influences of the Sun Moon and Stars besides the light which they give consists that rule which they do exercise over all the Sons of day and night so that man if he lives upon the earth must come under the touch thereof so well as Brutes and Vegetives And this Power man being unable to avoid but must in a great measure submit thereunto the Stars therefore are said to give Laws unto him and to the whole Body of Mortallity so long as the World endureth So then Astra regunt homines sed regit Astra Deus the Stars rule men but God rules the Stars Ay but hark ye say some what do you tell us of the heat and moisture of the Sun and Moon and their secret influences in producing and upholding life it is God that giveth life to all Creatures and maintains the same in them and he it is that ruleth all persons and things on earth So say we too this we know and believe only the question is how he does them whether with means or without if without means then every Child that is born every living creature that is brought forth and every Seed and Herb that grows out of the Ground comes to pass by a new creation as well as by generation for to bring things to pass without means is all

VI. Of the general and constant Qualities of the four Quarters of the Year SECTION I. Of the Spring THe most glorious and delightful Season of the whole Year is the Spring which takes its beginning when the Sun enters ♈ then making the Days and Nights equal all over the World except under the Poles and he then leaving the Inhabitants of the Southern Hemisphere doth begin to refresh and revive with his glorious and cherishing influence all those that inhabit the Northern Hemisphere this Quarter is generally hot and moist signifying Child-hood it continues all the time that the Sun is passing thorough ♈ ♉ ♊ And the Rulers hereof are ♂ ♀ ☿ and they Physically denote vigour delight and mutability So accordingly while the Sun is in ♈ all Vegetables put forth their Leaves and Blossoms and Nature is indued with a Spring-like force while the Sun is in ♉ the Leaves and Flowers of the Fields expand themselves after a delightful manner and Dame Vesta opens her Paradice of Pleasures to all her Children while the Sun is in ♊ Nature's Limners are at work and out of the force of ♂ and the delights and pleasances of ♀ paint to the World a million of pleasant Varieties SECTION II. Of Summer The next glorious Season begins where the Spring ends at which time the Sun enters ♋ and he being then mounted his Apogaeon is removed to his greatest distance from the Earth and being in his greatest Declination North-ward maketh longest Days and shortest Nights to all we that inhabit the North side of the Aequator this Quarter is generally hot and dry signifying Youth it continueth all the time the Sun is perambulating the Signs ♋ ♌ ♍ and the Rulers hereof are ☽ ☉ ☿ the ☽ here precedes the ☉ in Government and all the Births of the fore-going Spring are now swel'd to a pleasing Dropsie and so they remain during the Sun's continuance in ♋ and then so soon as he enters ♌ he assumes a particular so well as a general power of governing and by his great heat reduces all Vegetables from their Anasarchal swelling to a positive hectick Fever thereby ripening Seeds Flowers Fruits c. which he fails not to put forwards while he continues in this his Royal Palace Lastly ☿ brings up the rear of this Season and while the ☉ is in ♍ it being an earthly Sign he herein reduceth all things from their hectical condition into a direct Marasmus and now all things are ripe for the Sycle and the honest Countrey-man goes whisling with his Cart loaden to the Barn SECTION III. Of Autumn This Season begins when the Sun enters ♎ at which time he once more maketh the Days and Nights equal it is by Nature cold and dry signifying Manhood and continueth all the time that the Sun is running through the Signs ♎ ♏ ♐ and the Rulers hereof are ♀ ♂ ♃ first ♀ bestows her tears upon the Hearse of the deceased Summer and hereby generates a Phaenix out of the old ones Ashes and so while the Sun continues in ♎ we are made happy with a second Spring but of no long continuance next comes ♂ and he while the Sun is in ♏ endeavours to add heat to the moisture Venus lent the better to cherish the later Summer but that too is soon returned by reason of the absence of the Sun the Fountain of all heat and grand Principle of Generation Lastly ♃ by his Balsamick Beams while the Sun is in ♐ endeavours to perfect what the other two could not alone and so conserves the mummial virtue of all Plants Herbs Fruits c. for the good of humane kind and for the preservation of the Species of all things to the end of this Quarter which is as far as his Government extends SECTION IV. Of the Brumal or Winter Quarter This Season commenceth at the Sun's entrance into ♑ and he being in his Perigaeon or nearest to the Earth also in his greatest South-Declination maketh shortest Days and longest Nights to us that inhabit the North-side of the Aequator this Quarter is by Nature cold and moist signifying old age it continues all the time that the ☉ is transiting the Signs ♑ ♒ ♓ and the Rulers hereof are ♄ and ♃ but ♄ hath a double power to that of ♃ and hence it is that all things this Quarter more especially while the Sun passeth through ♑ and ♒ look with a sad and lowring face and are seen to wear the Image of Death and Destruction now Frosts Snows Hail black Clouds Rain Isicles Barrenness extremity of cold and all things that are negative to delight and pleasure have their Regency but ♃ by his gentler moisture while the Sun is in ♓ puts us in hopes of an approaching Spring And thus by this orderly government of the Planets through the several Seasons of the Year are we put in mind of the passage of the several parts of our life hereunto agreeable viz. how we pass the Spring of our Infancy and Adolescency the Summer of our Youth and strength the Autumn of our Manhood and declining years And lastly the Winter of our Old-age where ♄ stands ready with his Sythe to cut us down And how by passing this vale of misery this natural death we go onward to the government of ♃ to immortallity and a blessed life where we shall behold God Almighty in glory Of Eclipses CHAP. I. What an Eclipse is the cause thereof what time a Figure should be erected for judging the effect of it what things or places it concerns either good or evil the time when its effects shall begin how long continue Of all these in order we shall treat IN omni revolutione Annorum Mundi Eclipsin Solis Lunae non postpones In every Revolution of the World we must be sure to remember the Eclipses of the Luminaries SECTION I. An Eclipse of either of the Luminaries is only a privation or obscurity of
