They say that Astrology and foretelling the weather is unlawful uncertain and without any Grounds Answer That natural Astrology as in foretelling the weather and natural diseases or the like is drawn from very good and certain grounds since I hope they will not be so brutish as to deny the Influence of the Sun by whose position to us alters the four seasons of the year and that the position of the Moon to the Sun alters the Tides of the Sea For a conjunction commonly called the New Moon or an opposition commonly called the Full Moon cause Spring Tides and a Square commonly called the Quarter Moon being so weak that the sea is not so far pressed up upon the land as at the ☌ or ☍ as may easily be demonstrat by a figure which this page will not permit of as for other Aspects as △ ⚹ or the like their effects are nor observable neither are there any Reason for it by which I hope they will be forced either to confess that the rest of the Planets in their positions to us and Aspects with the Sun and Moon and among themselves does daily alter the weather or contradict Reason for which cause I have kept a Diery of the weather since September 1684. which assists me greatly in judging the weather and if Incouragement were given could in an Ephemeris trace out the weather and other natural occurrences that from henceforth these Carpers should be ashamed that ever they disallowed it 2. They think it Popery to keep in the Moveable Feasts and Saints days in the Almanack Answer Since the Terms of the year and whole Fairs of the Kingdom almost depend on them they cannot be omitted without great Confusion and Loss to the Kingdom which shal never be my Endeavour unless it be done by Authority but desires they might be observed by the true Rule for finding them for my own part I do not believe our Saviour was born on the 25 day of December nor St. John the Baptist upon the 24 day of June seing there is greater Reason that our Saviour was born at or about the Vernal Equinoctial in March and St. John the Baptist in September as may be proven but I omit it for brevitys lake As to the Carpers against my Arithmetick Book I say All these unlearned that cannot reach it And those so dull that cannot teach it Come to the middle of 〈◊〉 Wynd Where you shal satisfaction find From me at a most easy Rate I you advise least when too late You may repent the loss of time The fault 's your own it 's none of mine For other Arts that I do teach If your Capacity will reach You shal be serv'd as said before As for this year I 'le say no more ADVERTISEMENT TO all blind People or others troubled with any Distemper in their eyes whereas I have been now about eight years in this Kingdom and have performed the cure of many or most of the curable distempers of the eyes as couching Cataracts having couched above 100 in this Kingdom I perform it with so much dexterity and ease that there is not one in twenty Cries oh in the Operation having couched above a thousand people some had been blind ten others twenty others thirty years who have received their fight in a moment some after fourscore years he hath excellent Remedies for the strengthning of weak and decayed sight he cures all cureable diseases of the eyes He takes out Teeth Stumps or Roots of Teeth with a Touch and without Danger He hath cut and cured many hundred of Hair Lips Cancerated Lips and Breasts Mortified Legs and Arms Taps for the Timpany extracteth the stone out of the Bladder cuts the wry neck cures Gunshot wounds with all other Operations in Chirurgery that can be performed by by John Sare Dr. Sares Pills of Health They are wonderfull in the Cure of the Scurvy Dropsy ●●●●dice Agues Melancholy Kings-Evil Green-sick●●ss Worm Gout being powerful in Operation and answering the whole end of purging Physick Also my Cordial Pills good against all
