A03125	A manifest and apparent confutation of an astrological discourse, lately published to the discomfort (without cause) of the weake and simple sort, as will by the sequel of that which foloweth, euidently appeare With a briefe prognostication, or astrologicall prediction, of the coniunction of the two superiour planets, Saturn and Iupiter: which shalbe in the year of our Lord God 1583 the 29. of Aprill, at three of the clocke in the morning. / VVritten the 25. of March by Thomas Heth, Master of Art.

they both bring forth a third as scaldyng hot water and extreme colde doe make luke warme As cōcerning the iudgemēt of the yeare 1585. it is not to bee thought that the assemblie in Aries should pul on the effect of a Coniunction that was before in Pisces a watrie signe and of a contrary Elemēt and fire water so hardly agreeing as also for that Transitus as the Astronomers tearme it is the least of all the influences Againe where as it is saied that thei whiche haue in their Natiuities the Ascendent the Sunne the two superious Planets or the Lorde of the Ascendent or Natiuitie in Aries Inprimis ad choreas caelestes inuitabuntur aliquidque noui molientur and that Germany Italy with other Countries subiect to Aries should beware of greeuous calamities chaunces and chaunges it is farre against reason to thinke that any Constellation should foreshewe generall calamities to whole Countries and particular prefermentes to priuate persons bothe beyng vnder the gouernement of one and the same signe As touchyng the continuance of the former effectes euen as the coniectures of them are very slender so is the text of Cardane very weake to this purpose Effectus durant vsque ad reditū vt pote coniūctio Saturni Iouis vsque ad aliā coniunctionē whereby his meanyng is that it should last the tearme space of 20. yeres following whereas it is recorded amōg them of no small credite in this science that the significations vpon the chaunge of a Trigon hath been sometimes deferred vntill the 3. or 4. Coniunction followyng which is a 60. or 80. yeares from the same or it take effect and hath not lasted aboue 7. or 8. yeares in effecte But to come to the comparison of this Coniunction with others heretofore The Coniunction which was in Cancer in Nouember that shewed the generall Deluge called Nohae floud had other accidents cōcurring with the same which did aggrauate the force thereof as these The Coniunction was in Cancer whiche then likewise was the signe of the greate Orbe Saturne was then lorde of the greate Orbe and was there far worse disposed then at at this present forasmuche as thē he was Tardus motu prope stationē in detrimēto aswell as Peregrine c. being so many waies lorde and gouernor of the whole and so diuersly feebled and weakened no maruell though so greate effecte did then followe suche as the world shall neuer see again neither the like cōstellation in all respectes As for the Romane Monarchie his beginning which happened after a coniunction in Scorpie but fortie yere before the beginnyng of the fierie Trigon at the leaste whiche Coniunction of it self could as then haue doen naught had there not been a little before a concourse of Orbes that hed of Aries octaui orbis beyng in longitude with Aries noni orbis and beginnyng as then to make a new reuolutiō which is Res magnaīcaelo as witnesseth Cardane Furthermore the signe of the great Orb at the same time was Aquarie which Orbe was as then newly begunne and Saturn Lord of the sayde Orbe who did by a square aspect beholde the signe of the great Orbe ex siguis se odiose intuentibus All which considered there is more cause to think that then there should follow some notable subuersion rather then now when as none of the like accidents do any way concur againe it is no reason to thinke that the watry Trygon which beganne the fourth Monarchy shoulde likewyse finish the same Quia idem non potest esse causa generationis corruptionis And as touching the cōiunction which was sixe yéeres before the blessed and happye byrth of our sauiour Christ the which Leouitius putteth in Pisces Cardane affirmeth the same to be in the thyrd degree of Aries and the fiery Trygon already begun which controuersye of theyrs béeing men excellentlye read and learned I referre to my betters to decide Lastly in the time of Carolus magnus the Trygon changing into Aries came as then into the signe of the great Orbe and Dominion of Mars And sith that by processe of time we are now come againe to the ende of the watry Trigon and beginning of the fierye it is requisite before we shal presume by Astrologicall coniecture to affirme that the ende and consumation of the world shoulde be in the yéere of our Lord 1588. We should firste consider whether there happen any chaunge of the greate Orbe or concourse of the eyght and ninth Orbe eyther els the chaunge of any Absit out of one signe into an other All which as Cardane witnesseth Sunt res magnae in Coelo If so bée that ther be any such cause concurrent then is somewhat to bee spoken thereof otherwise little to bee expected The prophesies of the sacred Scriptures firste most reuerenced and beste considered aboute the same and then the Astrogliocall coniectures compared therewithall and carefully foreseeing that we alleadge not Non causam pro causa some reasonable estimate may bee made thereof But the day and houre is vnknowne to the angels of heauen And so to return to the last notable matter by him specified which is that there shall not appeare vnto vs in our Horizon anie Eclipse of the Sun or moone this year But how greate or how notable a thing that is to be cōsidred I leaue to those that are meanely exercised in Astronomy But as touching the influence of the Eclipse of the Sunne that was in Cancer the last yeare 1582 whereof there is wonders promised we are to examine And first the cause of an Eclipse well knowne we are to consider the quantitie of the Eclipse and the continuaunce of the same Leouitius at Augusta putteth it to be the twenteth of Iune at foure of the clock fiftie thrée minuts in the morning and thrée poyntes seuen minutes darkened and continued an houre twentie two minutes Maestlin for Tubing affirmeth it to be at foure of the clock fiftie minutes and but two poynts foure minuts darkned and lasted an houre and fourtéen minutes And Stadius for Antvverp hath it at foure of the clock fourtie two minutes But not so much as one sixt part of one point darkned nor of any continuance at all but onely a touch as it were Wherfore if they which dwel in longitude thirtie degrées and haue the pole eleuated fortye eight degrées had it thrée points darkned they in longitude thirtie one degrées vnder the eleuation of fourty nine degrées had but two points darkned Likewise they that dwel in longitude twentie six degrées vnder the eleuation of fiftie one degrees sawe nothing at all How is it possible that they which are in longitude nintéene degrées vnder the eleuation of fiftie two degrées should sée any thing And for because the surreption of light is the grounde wherby to iudge of the euents I thought good to take the paines to prooue by the principles of the Art whether there were any

surreption in our Horizon or no with the rest of the circumstances therunto apertayning Wherby it may appeare to any that is studious or desirous to come to the trueth thereof in manner as followeth   die Ho. mi. ● Visibilis coniunctio solis Lunae 19. 16. 30. 11.

WHereby it may euidently appeare that there was scant the sixt parte of one pointe of the Sunnes body eclypsed what soeuer was seene at Cambridge before whome so euer vnlesse they had their Ossa iugalia nimium extensa As Cornelius Gemma had when he considred the Comet that was in Cassiopeia which made them see the thing which was not els had they not Neruum opticum bene dispositum which made that small darkenesse to appeare sixteene tymes bigger then it was and the obscuration beeing but the sixte parte of one poynt is a thing of none account at all as the sequell shewed For that small influence that it had began the sixt day of Iuly lasted two monethes and ended the seuenth of September following in the same yeare Wherefore the effectes thereof can not by any Astrologicall reason be deferred till May 1583 and so continue a yeare Thus is there neyther good nor bad can bee aspected from this Ecclipse As for the comparing with other Eclipses is néedlesse But one example muste not be omitted If this Eclipse had beene darkned three pointes as it was not thogh he so say therof In the yeare sayth he 1536. the 13. day of Iune at one of the clocke after noone was an eclipse of the Sun in the seuenth degree of Cancer the sun was darkned eight pointes almoste with them at Tubing but much lesse with vs at London and from the beginning to the end lasted two houres and sixe minutes The effectes whereof began in Ianuary following the tenth day and lasted two yeeres which declareth that this Eclips could not foreshew the two great commotions that were in Lyncolneshire and Yorkshire which were bothe of them begun ended in October before the influence of this eclipse tooke place at least the space of 2. monethes But for confirmatiō of Art let vs sée what happened frō Ianuary 1537 till Ianuary 1539. when as the influence of this Eclipse raged In February there was stirred a rebellion wherein Carlile was besieged In April after ther was a cōmotion in Sommersetshire about taking vp of Corne and there was from the beginning to the ende aboue sixtye persons executed and put to death for treason rebellion and denying the Kinges Supremacy of which number there was a Marquesse thrée Lordes sixe Knightes thrée Abbotes and a Ladye that was brent in Smithfield Quiae Eclipsis fuit in decima domo regis prope locum solis aphetae suae genesis If we may giue credit to Cardane al so in the time there were sundry abbeys suppressed the black Fryers the white Fryers the Monckes of Charterhouse soone after all the rest Quia in nona domo quae est domus religionis As for any dearth or scarsity sicknesse or mortalitye I reade of none that followed neither of inundatiōs or flouds but great hurt by fire was done in London amongst the basketmakers in Roode Lane where twelue houses and nine persons were burnt in the space of thrée howers besides frier Forest and other that were brent in Smithfield and a great many of Images for auoidīg of Idolatry were burnt at Chelsey Mars feriebat gradū Eclipticu quadrato breuium Likewise on a sūday at the sermō time appeared at Pauls Crosse the Rood of grace and there moued the mouth and lips very straunglie But it was brought thither out of Kent and with sundry deuises made so to doe Afterwarde by the same Preacher the Bishop of Rochester was shewed the bloud of Hales and prooued to be no bloud but clarified hony mixte with Saffron And lastly to conclude and to shew that some good as well as ill may be foreshewed by an Eclipse as wel priuatly as publiquely particularly as generally Ther were during the influence of that Eclipse 18. States created and aduaunced Also the vertuous and Godly Prince Edward afterwardes king Edward the sixt was borne a great ioye to the whole Lande Also the Bible in english was set in euery Church of the Realme for all men to read And thus much for the confutation of the Astrologicall discourse and positions therin contained And for as much as it is not thuoght sufficient for any one to reprehend or reprooue the doinges and procedinges of other writers vnlesse after confutation of their erroure made hee séemeth further to adde of his owne somewhat either more Substantiall in doctrine reasonabler in hearing or with the truth of the matter better agreeing I haue there vppon thought it not amisse to follow an order and platfourme of iudgement in the declaration hereof vsed by Ptholomy and other learned wryters of later tyme. Wherein it is first requisite to vnderstand who at this present is Lorde of the great Orbe what the signe of the same is as also the degree profectionall and the diuisor thereof Likewise the Ascendent of the coniunction and reuolution and lastly who hath the Dominion in the cōiunction or preuention next and imediately going before the same Al which for the better vnderstanding of that which followeth I wil breifly in order set down therby that it may appeare who of these twaine thus conioined hath most force and dominion in all or most of the former considerations for that the coniunction simply of it selfe vnlesse it hath a further consent of the premisses can not pretend or forshew any great matter worthy the penning Much lesse the alteration of Kingdomes the comming of Christe in iudgement or consumation of the world For as much as it is a matter vsually hapning once in each twentie yéer foure times in euery signe and twelue times in euery Trygon before they shyft or chaunge the same So that within the space of two hundred fourty yeares they are twelue tymes conioyned togither and not abooue And what horrible matters about twentie yeares last past in respect of the former resited haue hapned there are none of sufficient yeares
