wade ouer deepe riuers In the yeares of our Lord. 1476. 1460. 1469. 1486. 1502. 1518. And many yeares after there were both great coniunctions straunge Eclipses which tooke their effectes presently not one or two or three yeares after as our heauengazers beare thee in hand All these examples whiche I bring agaynst them I haue not fayned but taken forth of those bookes which they haue in greatest estimation and could if neede should serue bring an hundred more all to shew their lyes when as they cōmonly say thus there shalbe an Eclipse this yeare mary I will not here determine his effectes but reserue them to be declared in my Prognostication one yeare or two yeares hence when it will take place To know where the effectes of the starres shall take place they haue appointed vnto euery signe certaine countreys as ouer Europe they haue set the fiery Triplicitie ouer the Orientall and North partes of the Asia the ayrie Triplicitie the waterie Triplicitie ouer Aphrica ouer y e South partes of the Asia the earthie Triplicitie so euery peculiar signe hath his dominion ouer some partes of those Now therefore when a coniunction or Eclipse is in any of these signes the Cities and countreys subiect vnto them feele the force of that constellation especially This is a most manifest vntruth and may bee confuted by many reasons 1. The nature of the signes is not the same now as it was in tymes past and by the confession of the 〈◊〉 learned haue other effectes now then they had in the dayes of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 yet we see the nature of Countreys and people to remayne the same still as may bee seene by readyng Tacitus Plinie Caesar Strabo 2. America whiche is halfe the worlde hath no signes appointed ouer it why it was founde out of late True it is but this is an argument that y e rules of Astrologie are absurde and were the bare inuentions and imaginations of idle braynes For there is no doubt but that America his partes and Ilandes as Br●silea Peru Pari Terra Florida Iaua Maior Iaua Minor Puloana Pauilonga Subath Massana Mattan Iuuacana Cozumella Iamaica c. Haue felt the force of those Constellations whiche they attribute to some partes of the olde world Because these Countreys bee about the middle Zone and haue both Planetes and signes full ouer them and therfore if the starres threaten any straunge thynge to come they must especially feele it 3. Experience the cause of all actes is agaynst them as is manifest in these examples 47. yeares before the Natiuitie of our Sauiour Christ there was a coniunction of the higher Planets in Scorpius And then was ciuill warre betwene Caesar and Pompey And the chaunge of the Empire was in Europe But according vnto the institution of Astrologers all these troubles should haue bene in Aphrike because Scorpius hath his dominion there In the yeare of our Lord. 34. there was a great coniunction of Planets in Leo and then sayth one very prophanely was the Gospell preached through the worlde But if hee make this coniunction to be a signe of the preachyng of the Gospell then it should more haue bene preached in the partes of Europe then Asia which is not true In the yeares of our Lord. 331. and 1137. There were great cōiunctions in Virgo and yet the Countreys subiect to this signe felt no harme but Italy was troubled with the Popes superstitions and Arrius his heresie was broched There was a meetyng of Planetes in Sagittarius 73. yeares after Christ when as Otho Galba Vitellius and Vespasian troubled the Romaine Empire yet there was no where more gre●uous warres then in Palestine and no greater slaughter then of the Iewes who are subiect vnto Scorpius and not vnto Sagittarius In the yeare .1464 a coniunction of higher Planets was in Pisces vnder whose dominion although Europe be not placed yet it most felt the smart by troubles and ciuill warres So 1576. and 1577. Two Eclipses of the Sunne the one in Leo the other in Capricorne tooke their effectes in Germanie when as Leo and Capricorne doe not rule that Countrey It is vayne to shewe the absurditie of this rule by moe examples these shalbe sufficient This shall suffice to haue spoken of their generall Predictions now follow their speciall determinations of the state and temperature of the weather wherein I will set forth first of all a most manifest and absurde contradiction whiche most of them make that is this They vse as I haue sayd to set downe their iudgementes of the whole quarter that it should be either moyst hote cold or drye afterward iudging particularly they disproue by particular dayes that whiche they sayd before In the yeare of our Lord. 1581. one sayd that in y e Autumne quarter should be a great drought yet I perusing his particular iudgements vpon the dayes of the quarter I finde it should haue plētie of rayne In the yeare last past an other sayd the s●mmer should be so hote drye that euen Welles riuers should be dryed vp and fishes be scarce and Cattell drye for want of water yea the same partie in his particular iudgement of the weather maketh 20. dayes of the same quarter at the least rayne and misling and 30. other either temperate or very cold In one worde the iudgementes whiche are set downe of the weather they are more tolerable then the rest yet as long as the world endureth no man shalbe able to Prognosticate truely what weather shalbe in euery day of the yeare The causes of this I haue set downe before and neede not now to repeate UUherefore they might leaue of anie longer to busie themselues in this kind And it shalbe sufficient for thee leading a christian lyfe to know the generall and ordinarie estate of the partes and seasons of the yeare The third reason impieties Besides all this the impious speeches and vngodly practises whiche these men vse might moue a christian man to loath their predictions First yeerely some of them doe foretel whether men shall study and imbrace or forget and neglecte true Religion UUhat a filthie and diuelish thinge is this not to bee suffered in a common wealth where the Gospell of Christ is preached Euery man naturally is the childe of wrathe the vnprof●table seruant dead in all kinde of sinne hys vnderstanding it is enmitie agaynst God his affections are rebellious against his will none doth good no not one not one hath anie facultie to receaue or keep true religion we are as sawes in the hands of God as the prophet Esay speaketh howe then become wee religious by the onely worke of God No man can come to me saith Christ except the father draw him And as God draweth vs first vnto true religion so he also maketh vs continue in the professing of the same as S. Paul saith hee whiche hath begon a good worke in you wil finish the same c. By what meanes doth God do this
