a little before or after the beginning thereof there shall be a sensible and manifest Catastrophe of the whole world and the destruction of the Law of Mahomet and the Turks And then perchance as we have often said shall a false Prophet arise or a Great man for betwixt the Mock-star a 100. times repeated Anno 1572. and that other in 1604. The mean years do number the age of our Saviour and if we will add the same years to the year 1604. they will fall out in the year 1632. wherein the great Conjunction of the year 1583. which happened in the watery Triplicity and in the end of that Triangle shall come to the Mock star which shewed it self An. 1572. And if again we add the same years they shall happen about the years 1666. near which time the false miracles of the world shall be discovered with the change and destruction of almost all Sects for in 1662. it will take 48. degr half or 1666. if the whole degr the great Conjunction in ♐ 1603. will come to the body of the Star which appeared Anno 1604. with the rest according to the operations of the Planets In the year 1638. the eclipse of the Sun which happened in the year 1621. in the 0. degr ♊ will come to the opposition of the Mock-star An. 1604. Seeing also that in the year 1646. the great ☌ of the year 1583. will divolve to the Mock-star of the year 1572. according to the right ascentions answering uniformly by the Meridian to all Horizons according to the operations of the Planets And if we will add Venus her greater years to the year of the Star 1572. when it was found in Taurus there shall be alterations likewise in the year 1654. because in the year 1653. the greatest obliquity of the Zodiaque is accounted 23. degr 28. min. which is lesser then it may be found to be by observation for about those times as we have declared lib. 2. cap. 11. of Great Con. a lesser Conjunction of the malevolents happeneth viz. in the year 1650. in the Moneth of July about the New-Moon in the first face of ♋ not far from the degree of the Sun And in August 1652 in the same point of Heaven in which the Conjunction of the Luminaries at the time of the lesser ☌ in ♋ 1650 happened and from the Transite of ♄ Anno. 1653. from the South into the North when he cut the Ecliptique in the 6 degree and 40. min. of ♌ in the place of the partile great ☌ of ♄ and ♃ in the year 1623. Moreover 1659. is the period of the revolution of the 14 Orbe in which the ☽ and ♌ shall have dominion and the revolution of the 15. Orbe shall begin in which ♄ and ♍ shall bear rule which sign of ♍ is the sign of the ☌ before the coming of Christ and is afflicted by ♄ wherefore there shall arise great changes in the World So likewise if we add the great years of ♃ to the year of the Mock-starr without doubt in the latter years by 1 Aph. 40. there shall almost be a destruction of Monarchies especially because in those years there will happen most powerfull influences of the Stars But what the Host of Heaven may portend after 1630. but much more after 1650. yea 1660. from the mock-starr 1572. we conceive not only the finall destruction of the Turks but also that there shall be a great decay of Christians and that not only all the Kings and Potentates of the earth shall be hurt by the severall evill Constellations and influences But take heed all you Kings of Spain and France you Princes and Potentates of Italy behold and dread the signe sent from God s●il the Mock-starr of the year 1604 let down in the fiery Triplicity to provoke wars and conflicts by 7. Aph. 34. Rebellions Treasons Desolations Suddain and Utter Ruine and Mischiefs of all kindes So that all men living of what degree condition or age soever shall be naturally inclined to shedding of blood For by the 4. Aph. 6. Every immoderate constitution of the stars brings death amongst old and infirme people but in others violent Events and cruell and utter Ruine Oh! how many changes of Kingdomes Oh! how much lamenting and bewailing the condition of disgrace Oh! what sorts and differences of dangers and troubles are to be feared What unspeakable great and grievous villanies Oh! what turbulent and damnable seditions Oh! what unlooked and unhoped-for mischievous kinds of death Oh! what exalting of wicked and reprobate men the troubled stars of heaven do in abundance belch out Oh! what wretched and indigent persons are every where extold And the rich oppressed and impoverished How many Subjects and servants shall rule whilst Kings and Masters shall obey What Princes shall be thrown out of their dominions Oh! what insolent drunken and luxurious men who shall have the habit of whoredome what inventors of new and unheard of Lusts Buggerers Gluttons Murtherers Cruell deceivers and Traitors and sheeves without cause such as shall deride torment and tear in peices and kill with very vexation all men that be endowed with prudence knowledge and wisdome but they shall be of a constant and firme minde And although these things shall be fierce after the year 1630. yea more fierce after 1650. yet shall they be most terrible and rigorous after the year 1660. Thus have these things been delivered briefly and with a hasty Quill touching the most laboursome and difficult matter proposed which ought to have been handled in another method by another Doctrine and by men most learned in the Art and not by me who am almost ignorant therein and imployed upon other Sciences and Physick and have kept my bed for divers moneths upon a Feaver Notwithstanding as for those causes and the shortness of time they have been by me finished if now at length they shall be gratefully accepted I shall rejoyce that my pains have not been unprofitable and if any thing be taken not so gratefully or less pleasing I hope the Readers ascribing it to the before-mentioned causes will look upon all with a benign judgement for perhaps better things shall one day be added A PROPHECIE OF Ambrose Merlin a Britaine From the Translation of Gefferey of Monmouth Aenigmatically therein delivering the Fate and Period of the English Monarchy VOrtiger king of the Britains sitting on the brink of an emptied Pool there issued thence 2. Dragons one of which was white but the other red And when the one came near the other they began a terrible fight by the vehemency of their breath begot fire But the White Dragon prevailed and chased the Red Dragon to the end of the Lake But the Red Dragon after he had bemoaned himselfe thus expulsed made a suddaine assault upon the White Dragon and forced him to give back The Dragons thus contending the King commanded Ambrose Merline to tell him what that Combat of the Dragons meant Then he

these causes in ancient time Learned and wise men were chosen to be Kings and Princes and such as were skilfull in all Arts and Sciences and amongst the Persians none was elected King who was not versed in Magick and the Mathematicks whence those Kings were called Magi and wise men that they might govern the people rightly But now adaies as well the unlearned as learned are admitted by inheritance to the government of Kingdoms Besides in Aegypt Chaldea Persia and Greece where the inventors of Sciences and all learning flourished those that addict themselves to the study thereof shall now be severely punished and those Regions at this present are in a manner quite dispoiled of all Sciences And it is evident that these things happened after the great Conjunction in the Fourth house and false sign Scorpio having great force over those Countreys Which Scorpionisticall Conjunction and decay of the learning of the Aegyptians being foreseen by the most wise Trismegistus to his unspeakable grief he was constrained with a sorrowfull and bewailing soul thus to exclaime O Ægypt There remains only the Stories of thy wisdom and learning For behold the divinity of Sciences is returned into Heaven and only perverse and ignorant men shall abide on earth Insomuch that he that would apply himself to the true study of learning shall be punished with death Thus Trismegistus with how much truth no man is ignorant The Roman Empire also which had been accustomed to elect its King amongst the valiant Captains of War stoops now to Clerks that be strangers to War wherefore the great Conjunctions do not only foreshew that but Kingdoms also and Cities are governed by the great years of the Planets which are described by Wise men some whereof be 1460. others 520. others 480. others 465. others 428. others 264. and the rest 260. and the Cities and Kingdoms are in the height of their Government according to these years and first they begin to decline their Government and then fall into servitude and destruction so that it is no wonder if Cities and Kingdoms and Monarchies do change their manner of Government and as it were a thing deserted of its presiding Planet flyeth to another nature of other Planets and so alwaies Kingdomes and Cities when they have finished their years they proceed to worse and alwaies decline and the starrs do ruinate and destroy their government and custome and by that means the conditions of men become contrary whereby Seditions and hatred vices and evill behaviour are raised in Cities and when those things do reign in Cities the Portents of the Planets are destructions of government and so by those vices flowing from the Planets Cities and Kingdoms are destroyed and led into Captivity or transferred to a strange Government We finde also that so oft as the Creator of all things hath any new Law to establish in the world or any other good for the benefit of man or any evil as a scourge for sin it is his pleasure to admonish all the faithfull that such things are to succeed yea long before they happen and this in such manner as that they should truly acknowledge him to be God and adore him The truth of which is affirmed by so many holy books of the Old Law wherein the Prophets foretold all things which were to befall the Hebrews yea it was evermore designed in the Universall Book of Heaven and demonstrated by the great Conjunctions As that Conjunction under the Constellation of Andromeda did the Circumcision The Conjunction in ♓ under the image of Cassiopeia did the Mosaicall Law the Conjunction in ♌ under the image of Vexillus the first Emperour The Sect of the Chaldeans in the Conjunction of ♄ ♃ and ♂ Whereupon the Chaldeans did begin their burnt Sacrifices and worshiped the Divinity beleeved by them to be mixt with the fire and supposing that the fire was changed into God it 's former accidents still remaining So the Sect of the Ægyptians by the Congress of ♄ ♃ and the ☉ wherefore they worshiped the Constellations of Heaven and the Host of the Sun But the Sect of the Sarazens was premonstrated by the application of ♄ ♃ and ♀ who grew in luxury and concupiscence So God before the coming of our Saviour shewed a sign in heaven by the great ☌ of ♄ ♃ and ☿ in the first decade of Virgo with change of Triplicity concerning which sign of Virgo Albumazar in the 6. of his Introduct Virgo Signum sterile tripartitum biforme in prima ejus decade in qua facta fuit talis Conjunctio ascendit Puella munda corpore decora vultu venusta habitu modesta crine prolixo manu gemina● cristas tenens supra solium aureatum residens pueruns nutriens Virgo is a barren sign tripertite double-bodied in the first decade whereof wherein such a Conjunction happened a● cendeth a beautifull Virgin of a comely body pleasant countenance modest attire long hair holding two Plumes in her hand sitting in a golden Throne and nourishing a boy The very same did Abraham affirm in his book called Principium sapientie where he saith Ascendiv quoque in prima facie ejus virgo pulchra sui capilli longi habens in manu sua duas spicas ipsaque sedet super sedem unam nutrit puerum parvulum ipsum lactando ad comedendumque incitando There ascendeth also in the first face thereof a fair Virgin having long hair holding two ears of Corn in her hand and she sitteth upon a seat and nourisheth a little boy by giving him suck and inciting him to eat The Sect also of Mahomet was premonstrated by the Stars and we noted lib. 2. cap. 3. of great Conjunctions That the ☌ of ♄ and ♃ in ♏ with the ☌ of the ☽ and the warlike irradiation of ♂ in the year of the world 4271. signified the Law of Mahomet and the Turks and seeing that ♏ wherein that ☌ happened by the 2. Quadr. com 54. is the house of ☌ with the ☌ of him and the ☽ for this cause untill this present time he retaineth warlike and Lunar manners and that Law of his enjoyns all kinde of rude gross and popular things Pleasures Vices Wickedness Luxuries and Rapes Wars Conflicts and Effusion of Blood and for that the new place of the ☌ is Cancer of which the ☽ is Lady therefore we conclude the Law of the Mahometans to be Lunar and Martiall by the Authority of Albumazar Lib. 1. Differ 3. and 4. Mag. Con. and when the Moon shall signifie a rude People which are secluded from all skilfulness by the judgement of all Astrologers Therefore that Law is rude and gross popular and an enemy to learning even as the Common people are for by reason of the dominion of Mars it enjoyneth it self to be protected not with Arguments but Arms hence it is that whosoever shall but in the least degree scandalize their Law shall be slain with Iron And because the ☽ is exceeding swift

the inhabitants of Babylon and a dearth of Corn and Altradenen shall be mingled and the inhabitants of Italy shall sustain much misfortune and shall undergo captivities and consequently oppression and mortality And they shall commit injuries one against another And men shall incur dry diseases as the scab and the itch and there shall be a great death of Oxen and a decay of Vines and some part of the Country shall be made desolate by a vehement cold and corruption of their Harvest and by the destruction of the fruits of their Trees and through want of Tillage and Plantations in the Countrey they shall fear the King of their enemies Albumazar foretels evil of men and a decay of such as be good injuries and Rebellions amongst them and when its Declination fals out in the beginning of Aries it portends much war in divers Regions and great effusion of blood the destruction of great men and a choice of such as be evil and infirm and an Odium shall fall among the Inhabitants and they if not more Regions shall subject themselves to the King of Babylon and Haly lib. 8. Cap. 41. saies the same affirming that there will be a decay in the territories of Christians and of Babylon Now if these things by the authority of Albumazar and Haly be signified by a Simple Comet How much more then by this mock star which was observed to be far greater and of longer continuance And in the year 1603. in the end thereof was a great Conjunction of ♄ and ♃ as formerly we noted revolved to the fiery Triplicity in the first face of Sagittary not far from the Scorpions heart of the first magnitude of the nature of Mars with the presence of ☿ in a ● of ● and a long ⚹ of the ☽ we called this a great ☌ because by the first Aph. 67. Maxima Conjunctio dicitur cum permutando se ex aqueo signo Arietem ingreditur A great Conjunction is said to be when by removing it self out of a watery sign it entreth into the sign dries therefore the first is no such one for another happened in Leo and we conclude with Albumazar Tract 1. Differ 2. That the sign Sagittary is the strongest of the signs of the fiery Triplicity Leo indifferent and ♈ the weakest This great ☌ as we have it elsewhere and let the Reader excuse us if we repeat it often for by the 4. Aph. 85. Repetitio necessaria est in hac scieentia vel ob difficultatem vel ob necessitatem vel ob utilitatem ingentem vel ob contradictionem Repetition in this Science is requisite either by reason of difficulty necessity exceeding benefit or to avoid contradiction Signifieth the destruction of the Empire of Mahomet then an universall peace with the universall Empire of Christians yet not without labour difficulties blood-shed and by infinite infelicities Rebellions Discentions and Treacherousness by reason of the presence of the Scorpions heart and Mercury and the Quartile of Mars and because of the appearance of the Mock-star in such a Triplicity concerning which star in imitation of Albumazar Tract 5. Differ 7. we say That if any of the Stars having hairs shall appear in the Direct of Sagittary it signifieth the vehemency of a King over his people and his coveting of moneys the depression of men and the taking of things by violence injustice and injuries with the death of such Nobles as had their honour under the fiery Triplicity and consequently it foresheweth a drought and death of the Inhabitants and the destruction of their Kings son and that their cattell shall be raised to great rates in many parts a vehemency of heat and a decay of fruits the death of Kings and Citizens and much lewdness in sundry places And as we instanced before If so great effects are signified by Comets which last but the space of three or four moneths what shall this Mock star portend which lasted above a whole year Moreover if that moving Mock star of the third magnitude in the daies of Hypparchus did portend a mutation of the Monarchy of the Greeks into that of the Romans How much more may these Mock-stars of the years 1572. and 1604. which remained immoveable and exceeded all the stars of Heaven in magnitude foreshew not only their changes but even their destruction We must now come to the particular times when these things shall happen and in what places for in this year 1625. there beginneth a preparation for War between the Princes in and without Italy The Plague likewise rageth in sundry parts of Sicilia and a dearth of Corn. The effects proceed not only as some suppose from the annuall Revolution for the annuall Revolution begins according to Ptolomy when the Sun enters into the first point of ♈ and as well the preparation for wars as those Pestilent diseases had their birth in former years wherefore such wonderfull effects cannot be produced from the simple annuall Revolution without the Eclipses of the Luminaries and some other notable Constallations as the most learned Ptolomy hath insinuated 4. Apot. 2. Therefore we may the rather conclude that these things have arisen from former causes for as it hath often been urged Corpora Coelestia non agere in instanti sed cum tempore The Caelestiall Bodies do not operate upon a suddain but with some delay And as Aristotle attesteth Natura ●on facit saltum Nature works not by leaps Moreover we in our 2. book de Max. Con. c. 6. foretold this year 1625. to be infortunate● the words were these But some may say where and when shall these things be These things and the former are handled in the preceding Chapter for we prophesied of War of the dearth of Corn Plague and dissentions which shall be manifested in those Regions which are subject to the sign Cancer and such other signs as be opposite and in Quartile thereunto and those places are mentioned by us liba cap. ult De mutatione Aeris As concerning the time when those things shall happen We say they will happen in the end of the second year from the ☌ when the malevolents shall come to the Sun that is in the end of the year 1624. and in 1625. And a little after in the same Chapter Pag. 79. at the end and in the beginning of pag. 80. we said But in the year 1625. although there happen four Eclipses whereof neither of these horrible ones of the Sun can be seen of us nor the latter of the Moon yet the former of the Moon may be observed in our Horizon which shall happen upon Sunday the 23. of May according to the New but the 13. of the same moneth after the old account not far from the North Node in the 3. degr 20. min. of ♎ and the Digits eclipsed shall be 2 and about 15 min. the beginning at six hours 24. minutes the middle or true ☍ or the full moon at seven hours seventeen minutes The end at eight

of the clock and ten minutes of the following night which eclipse happeneth in the place of the ship and in the platique square of an infortune whereby besides those pestiferous diseases now mentioned from that time we may easily point out Ruine and great alteration of the A●e and much wars many conflicts sudden deaths effusion of blood and assault to be made against some King troublesome and pernitious seditions And in like manner it may be observed that such effects are enraged or put forward by the Eclipses of the precedent year 1624. almost in which year there happened likewise an Eclipse of the Sun to the quantity of eleven Points and half in the nineteenth degree of ● The 12. of October 1605. it came to the opposition of the glittering Mock-star 1572. Moreover in the year 1620. there happened an eclipse of the Moon in the eighteenth degree of Gemini being 19. points and half darkened in opposition to the star that appeared 1604. and according to P●olomy it incontinently produced its effects Whereby it appeareth that the future Catastrophe of the world shall not be this year for these effects do not arise from the Mock-stars and great Conjunctions but from causes that be less universall And the present Accidents of the world as of wars the Plague and such others are as it were the first offerings of the great Revolutions of Italy and the world Therefore we will conclude that the Revolutions of sublunary things may be produced in future years sc when the great Conjunction happeneth in the watery Triplicity that is in the end of that Triangle Anno 1583. it shall come to the Mock-star which appeared Anno 1562. And such a direction in the opinion of Tycho according to the Zodiacall degrees shall fall out in the year 1632. near unto which time the great Conjunction that happened in the fiery Trigon Anno 1603. comes to the square synister of Mars who beheld that great Conjunction by a Quartile Aspect in the Radix Moreover the great Conjunction of Leo Anno 1623. comes almost at the very same time by direction to the Triangle of the Star which resulst in the year 1604. Besides in the year 1630. The Absis of Saturn is changed from Sagittary the house of ♃ to Capricorn his proper house And it is not to be doubted but that the first point of Capricorn is a place very powerfull because it is the solstitial point yet the terms belong to Mercury who augment drought and moisture the Pestilence scarcity of fruits and animals for ♄ hath signification of cold and dryness Mercury portendeth dryness coagulation and deadly windes by 7. Aph. 69. and variety of the season Besides inundations Earthquakes Frosts and snow and extream cold by 7. Aph. 67. and when he is near unto the third stars of Sagittary of the third magnitude nigh to the Shaft or in the shaft it self he hath greatest force so that then Traitors and Man-slayers are produced The permutation likewise of the Absides of the Planets especially of ♄ do change Kingdoms and Regions and Religious by the 1. Aph. 37. and when it shall be translated to an earthly sign and to the Tropique of ♑ in the terms of ☿ there shal be great earthquakes by the 7. Aph. 124. For when the Absides of the infortunes shall be in watery signs especially in ♋ and ♏ there will be inundations But if in fiery signs barrenness and Cons●agrations If in Aiery a generall and great destruction and if in earthly signs great Earthquakes shall succeed Besides what hath been said this change also of the Absides of ♄ do confirm what formerly we have delivered touching the false Prophet by the 3 Aph. 136. In the transmutation of the Angis and of the Regall and great Conjunctions great men are born although the Genitures do not shew it so expresly By the change of the Absides of ♄ in ♋ Mahomet had his growth Therefore by the same mutation of the Absis in ♑ the opposite sign he shall suffer detriment decay and come to nothing And this may be proved by the predictions of Mahomet the lying Prophet in things belonging to the Kingdom of glory but perhaps he may have spoken the truth in many things touching the success of the Empire of such who should follow his Law and especially when he foretold the time wherein the Mahumetan Laws was about to be destroyed It is reported by many that Mahomet had the spirit of Divination of others that he was Lunatique or oppressed with an evil spirit whereby he foretelling something which was to be performed by the Devil by little and little he grew into great esteem amongst the ignorant people insomuch that from a driver of Camels he became the husband of an exceeding rich Heir whereupon the spirit within him grew very haughty and he begun to prophesie many things and by the help of Serguis Nestorianus the Heretique he was made Legislator and wrote the Alcoran The which God suffering it he knew should have a great increase for 1000 years but those being finished the Mahumetans that succeeded grew so faint for the death of their King that the Law by him established was no longer observed Wherefore the period of the 1000. years of the Law of Mahomet shall be thus manifested The years of Mahomet of Hagira begun when Mahomet undertook his expedition for the defence of Religion which was in the year of Christ 603. and he died in the year following when he had 40. years so that by accounting Hagira from this year about the year 1630 when there shall happen so many Revolutions of the heavens and when the Aux of Saturn passes into ♑ the sign opposite to Cancer in which was the increase of his Law shall be the end and destruction thereof but by the word end we understand not a totall extirpation but a sensible beginning of its destruction Again to speak Astrologically seeing that the Faith of Mahomet remaineth Martiall and Lunar if we will take the lesser years of these Planets they will make up the 40. Mahumetan years sc 25. of the Moon and 15. of Mars Lastly if we will take the lesser greater and mean years of these Planets and adde them to the 591. year from the birth of Christ in which year Mahomet was born his great destruction shall begin about the year 1648. And if to those years we adde also the Fridary years of these Planets his totall and last destruction shall be about the year 1663. after great and horrible slaughters and ealamities and after the death of the false Prophet The great Revolutions of the world and the infortunate effects of the by past Profections of the great Conjunctions preceding the Flood Christ and Mahomet are nowconfirmed For the profection of the great Conjunction which preceded the Flood cometh in the year 1632. to the sign of Scorpio which is the sign of the Turks and of Mahomet as before we mentioned and it is
