A47492	Vates astrologicus, or, England's astrological prophet, fortelling what is likely to befall Great-Britain and Ireland, particularly the great and famous city of London as also France, Holland, Spain, Germany, Poland, Italy, Sicily, Apalia, Bohemia, Turkey, and indeed all Europe, but more especially the see of Rome, for twenty years together, beginning March 10, 1683, and ending March 10, 1702 : likewise astrological judgments of the effects of that famous triple conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, being thrice repeated in that regal sign Leo, the great dignities of the Sun and Jupiter: also some remarks upon the eclipses, and more especially upon that great and famous visible eclipse of the sun, July 2, 1684 : with twenty years predictions from some of the most eminent mutual aspects of the planets, and eclipses of the luminaries, and annual revolutions of the sun : here are also many hieroglyphicks representing the future state and changes of the world : to which is added a treatise of the pestilence, both for the prevention and cure thereof / by Richard Kirby.

and Moon Life is Infused into all things by him so many glorious Lamps of Heaven do shine by him the Elements stand the Winds blow the Plants flourish living Creatures have sence Which therefore Orpheus calls the Enlivening Eyes of the Heavens the Sun gives light to all things of it self and gives it Plentifully to all things not only in the Heaven and Air but Earth and Deep he produces the Day here and the Night there here it is fair Weather by and by Thunder Storms and Lightning he passeth into Waters then into Hail being ever one and the same Artifict of six hundred Arts he paints the Clouds with Azure colour Cloaths the tops of the Mountains with Gold what ever Creatures are either in the Heavens or in the Earth all of them do love the Sun riseing Nature being Guide It is the property of all Living Creatures to rejoyce with the Light and Refreshment of the Sun whatsoever Good we have as Jamblicus saith we have it from the Sun alone or from it through other things therefore it is called Fons vitae the Fountain of Life or lux Mundi the Light of the World or Oculus Mundi the Eye of the World or Anama Mundi the Soul of the World Hence therefore many of the Platonists placed the Soul of the World chiefly in the Sun and Heraclitus calls the Sun the Fountain of Coelestial light and hence the Ancient Naturalist called the Sun the very heart of Heaven so it sends forth its rays on all sides as it were a Spirit through all things distributing Life Sence and Motion to the very Universe and it sits as King in the midle of the other Planets excelling all in Light Greatness and Fairness Enlightning all distributing Vertue to them to dispose Inferiour Bodys Regulating Disposing of their Motions so that from thence their motions are Dayly or Nightly Southern or Northern Oriential or Occidential Direct or Retrograde and as it doth by its Light drive away all the Darkness of the Night so also all Powers of Darkness which we read of in Job as soon as Morning appears they think of the Shadow of Death Thus the Sun is the very Author of seasons from whence Day and Year Cold and Heat and all other Qualities of Seasons as Ptolomy saith when the Sun comes unto the place of any Star it stirs up the power thereof so as with Mars heat with Saturn cold and it disposeth even the spirit and mind of man from hence it s said by Homer and approved by Aristole that there are in the mind such like motions as the Sun the Prince and Moderator of the Planets every day bringeth to us Therefore shall we then say or be so Innocent of the Heavenly Ordinances as to deny this great Luminary any Influence upon Humane and Mundene Affairs or to be so stupid as to think that when this great Light is obscured from us that there is nothing thereby signified unto Mortal Men God Created the two great Lights viz. the Sun and Moon for Signs and Seasons therefore the Moon hath a certain natural Mutability whereby she easily Cummunicates unto us the sence of other Stars c. Now let us come to the intended Subject viz an Ecclipse of the Sun which is very great whence we may ex●ect as great Accidents or Effects to follow Such a face of Heaven hath not been seen since the Creation All the Planets are in the 9th house viz four in Cancer with Caput and three in Virgo Jupiter hath great dignities in Cancer and here is no less then four Planets beholds him by a sextil Aspect from the same Sure this must shew some notable Work Impending concerning Religion But before I shall pass my Judgement at length upon this vast Ecclipse of the Sun I shall consider three things First unto what Region Kingdom City or People the effects of this Ecclipse shall appertain Secondly The Time when the Effects shall begin and how long Time the Events of this Ecclipse shall continue Thirdly What events may be expected from the Ecclipse c. Now in regard this Ecclipse is made in Cancer therfore I shall judge its effects to fall upon Scotland Granado Burgundy Holland Zeland Prusia Numidia Africa Bithinia Calchis Carthage Constantinople Tunis Venice Genoa Lucas-pisa Millain Vincentia Berne York St. Andrews in Scotland Lubeck Magdeburg Wittenburg Gorlick Macedonia Illyria Thracia Bosina Albania Oxford Guant India c. The next thing we have to consider is the time when this Ecclipse will begin to Opperate and how long the effects may continue now in regard it is made in the ninth Angle Therefore I judge the effects will begin about eight months from the time of the Ecclipse and will Continue two Years or thereabouts c. The Third and last thing is what the effects or event of this Ecclipse may be as thus considering the sign where this great defect of the Sun doth happen to be one of the Cardinal signs and our summer Solstice Therefore it signifies alteration of Air of Offices or Places or Government it likewise presages a Rot or Consumption of the vulgar sort of People with Rumours Seditiors and expectations of Wars Destruction of Fish and Water-soul great Innundations and overflowings of the Sea Banks it likewise procures a Rotteness or Corruption in the Fruits when they are gathered occasioning Surfeits and Sicknesses to such as eat them as Hydropical Diseases which may cause Petulent and grievous Mortalities it likewise foreshews the Diseases of France Naples Spain and England and indeed all the World Let them that are inclined to Venery have a care again it foreshews Sea fights Long and Dangerous Navigations with strang kind of Stormes and Tempests at Sea and much Loss to the Generous and Industrious Merchant with thundering Noises and Uproars about Religion as well at Home as Abroad and that by all sorts of People from the Highest to the Lowest Degree for so many Planets in the 9th in Conjunction in Cancer and all in sextil to Jupiter who is exalted therein can intimate no Less then Great and Fierce disputes about Religious matters besides Mercurys application to the body of Mars by a retrograde motion who suddenly transits the degree of the Ecclipse shews that many strange kind of Paper conflicts shall be dispersed abroad on purpose to incite Men to Quarrel for here is a Violent Storm Impending and Wo to those People in Europe on whom it doth fall for as a blow with a stick stirs up the madness of a Dog which before lay Asleep so doth the Coelistial Harmony disclose Virtues lying in the Elements and stirs them up strengthneth them and makes them manifest and as I may say produceth that into Act which before was only in Power And thus to conclude I judge that Mars's sudden transit through the Degree of the Ecclipse will cause extraordinary sultry blasts and great heat hot pestilent Winds pestiferous and infectious Thunder Lightnings Whirlewinds
