the Eleventh day of June last a little before Midnight NExt to the Holy Writ Phylosophy Speculative and Practical is the only means to let us know that God hath left a lively Inscription of his Finger upon all his works not Graphical by a Literal Composition of Letters or Characters but Mystical of the several forms orders and constitutions of things which aptly and duely put together Spells all the effects of nature as Number Measure Weight Quantity Quality Matter Form Privation Generation Corruption Motion Rest Soul Body Life and Death and after the same Pylosophical method though in a more holy sense the Wise Omnipotent calls the Stars by their Names and by the same Mystical order did Adam give each Creature a name peculiar to its nature in Paradice and nature doth then most visibly shew the Treasures of her fertility when she doth unbosom her self to the whole World by diversities of Phaenomina's whose nature and effects are only examinable by Natural Phylosophy and therefore take this short account of their generation and and existence before I come to speak in particular to the Astrological effects hence depending The cause and generation of these Mock-Moons is the same with the Parelii or Mock-Suns for as the Mock-Suns are called Parelii from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 so these are called Paraselene from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and although this is not so much taken notice of as the Parelii it being an accident of the lesser Luminary yet it is from the same Cause of the same Nature though less forcible in effect and of the same name also the particulars considered they being both the effect of Refraction Reflection whose subject matter is a Cloud that is thick plain and watery and the Air quiet and free from Wind for a turbulent Air dissipates the matter that produceth the Reflection and this is the second of this kind of Phasma's that have been seen since Christmas last the first of which was seen the sixth day of January about Eleven of the Clock at Night and was observed by divers sufficient men of Hereford but especially by Mr. Mathews a very Ingenious Gentleman the last of these hapned the Eleventh of June last a little before Midnight But besides these two Phasma's there were also two others before of the Sun seen in England the first of which happened the 28th day of July about Eight of the Clock in the Morning and was seen in Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire Thus the true Sun had on each side of it another like it with a Circle passing through the Center of the two Mock-Suns and a right Line passing through them all three The other happened October the 10 day about four in the Afternoon and was observed at Windsor the true Sun being Besieged by two false ones and one of them exceeded the true one in Light and Glory Upon this occasion I took the pains to write a few Sheets upon the then present Affairs and what might in a course of nature be expected the Winter following but Authority would not afford me the Liberty of the Press and so my Labours were doom'd to Oblivion but of these former ones I have given a better Account in my Almanack for 1680 and thither do I refer my Reader for further satisfaction and hasten to my Astrological Discourse upon this Phaenomenon deduced from a Figure erected to the middle of their appearance as near as can be gotten from those divers relations of its Spectators that is 50 Minutes after Eleven of the Clock at Night Figura Caeli ad tempus Parasalence ad Jun. 11. hor. 11. min. 50 M.

So. 3d 14 I have the rather taken this pains at this time because his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 happened so unhapily upon the Suns entrance into Cancer the most Northern point of the whole Zodiack and the Stars so unfortunately placed as you may see Saturn is in Conjunction with the Sun and both in Opposition to the Medium Caeli the Moon in Conjunction with the Scorpions heart in Square to Mars and Opposition of Mercury Jupiter in the Horoscope in partile Square to Venus in the sixth house and Mercury Lord of the fourth in Square to Mars Lord of the first and eight With these consider also the double bodied Signs Saturn afflicts the Sun in Gemini a double bodied Sign the Moon and Mercury are both afflicted in double bodied Signs by Mars Lord of the eight house and Pisces a Bicorporeal Sign ascends the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 hence may an ordinary Astrologer with little consideration give a rational satisfactory judgment upon this Figure as it concerns the general Affairs the next six months succeeding and more which will afford matter enough for the Actors and Spectators of this Tragy-comedy to gaze at For the World is but the vast universal Theater and men and women the Puppets with which the Fates sport themselves Ludit in humanis divina potentia rebus This ensuing Judgment may be divided into two Parts as it were under two Heads viz. General and Particular First in General the first thing considerable is Saturn in the fourth house casting his Square to the Ascendant and his Opposition to the tenth and by his proximity afflicts the Sun this old Gentleman Saturn in this Figure performs the place and business of a common incendiary he whispers to one and he writes to another and indeed he disturbs the peace of all sure he should be a Jesuit or one indued with such principles by his action and endeavour here he disturbs the minds of Nobles he poisons the hearts of the people and he sets them against their Superiors for here you see he is in direct Opposition to the tenth house the house of dignity and if there be difference between his Opposition and the tenth house it is yet applying by reason of his Latitude but yet as Saturn and the Sun are the only Stars angular in this Figure and both within Orbs of the Sextile of Jupiter so there shall be some who on the other side will use their utmost endeavour to preserve Peace and security to prevent dangers and preserve their Prince in safety as Guido Bonat well observes part 4. chap. 59. In the Preventional New Moon Saturn was directly opposite to his place here and the Sun and Moon also upon the place of the last Conjunction of Saturn and Mars hasting to a Conjunction of Saturn in the tenth House and at the ingress of the Sun into Cancer they were both in Conjuction upon the
