What meaneth this 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Vau and so on to a thousand Mysteries and raising strange kinds of Significations Exod. 6. When they saw this Letter which is numb 6 signifying that six days of the Week they were to gather their Manna This 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Vau signifies the Misery and Sorrow wherewith God threatned them for Murmuring they say it 's the Hieroglyphick of Labour Servitude appears out of Levit. 25. Exod. 21. and signifies Labour they were to work six days The Meteors or Signs in the Heavens have produced great things in these our Days but being frequent I shall not mention them But the Observation of the Jews is something pretty Eighthly Snow Hail and Froâ—t do sometimes bear strange Characters the Reading whereof we will not neglect There have been often seen strange Figures which have born a Cross a Buckler a Heart or a Death's Head It 's not many years since those Hieroglyphical Figures were seen in Provence and soon after a destruction of Beasts and a little while after that this miserable Country had their Fields covered with Souldiers and all their strong Places Besieged and Assaulted with so much Bloodshed that the very Memory of it will be always grievous unto them The Story of these Figures confirms that which Cornelius Gemma hath obobserved in these words Inventa est saepius Grando cui futurarum rerum manifest ê ut more Clypei aut Pugnae aut Crucis insculpta imagines spectarentur Kepler hath observed that the Snow is not without its Wonders but no more of this Ninthly The Rainbow one of the most Noble Meteors that is formed in the Clouds namely that the Figure of it as R. Capel says represents the Letter 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Caph which the Jews writes in this manner 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which might be the reason why God placed it in the Heavens to be a sorrowful Memorial of the Deluge for this Letter stands for 20 which is the number of Sorrow Jacob served in Laban's House 20 Years Joseph was sold for 20 Pieces of Silver the flying Roll wherein was written the Sins of all Men and was 20 Cubits long and at 20 years of Age the Israelites began to serve in the Wars Helena in Homer complain'd of her own Misfortune takes notice of this number 20. Quatuor hic jam lustra moror quò tempore nunquam Iratus misera mihi verba indigna dedisti Also the Poets when they expressed any thing of Sorrow in this Number 20. Thus Ulysses is reported to have undergone 20 years Misfortune Quosque tuli post tot Terrae Pelagique labores In patriam veni jam nunc labentibus annis Vicenis Many more of the like nature are produced by Bungus Tenthly Comets are the chiefest which are in use in the Discovery of such Secrets which is usually the Death of Princes Julius Caesar died shortly after the appearance of a Comet this is no News But we may take an Example of this present Time where effects of a Comet is fresh in mind I saw my self with many others a strange Comet but two days before the Duke of Monmouth was taken in the West and a Blazing Star over all Europe before the Death of K. Charles II. These are the true Signs which God is pleased to foretell of great Troubles to come I will give you the words of Virgil. Non alià s Coelo toties cecidere sereno Fulgura nec diri toties arsere Cometae They do not only respect Death of Kings and Princes but also of great and mortal Diseases Drought and Barrenness of Fruit a strange Heat in the Air. Eleventhly Here is another sort of Reading which might be perform'd in the Air first it may be taken from the flying of Cranes of which St. Jerom saith Grues viam sequuntur â—â—dine literato flying in order and keeping their Ranks at an instant that the Wind turns by this means they defend themselves from Assaults for on which side the Eagle comes he encounters with nothing but Bills just as a Body of Horse setting upon a Body of Foot meets with â—othing but Points and Pricks Now the Letters and Forms shews us only the diversity of the Winds or else their manner of ordering themselves in Battel the History of Birds and Fowls of the Air is wonderful in knowledge and Apprehension too large for â—is Place But meeting with a Verse of Ovid touching this matter I must go on further Many call Ovid a Heathen if so he was a witty one Os Homini sublime dedit Coelumque videre Jussit erectos ad sidera tollere Vultus God with a lofty Look did Man endue Commanding him the Heavens and Stars to view Observation hath been taken from the meeting together of the two Superior Properties of Nature viz. ♄ and ♃ in matters of the Church Laws and Governments which may well be the Alteration of Kings Princes 〈◊〉 Governments c. being Seven in number The first meeting of ♄ and ♃ from the beginning of Times was in 600 years of the world viz. 3200 before Christ The second was in the year of the World 1600. The third did fall out 2400 which was 1600 years before Christ The fourth in the year 3200 of the World The fifth the coming of Christ 4000 years of the World The sixth falls out in 800 years after Christ which was 4800 years of the World And the seventh was 1600 years after Christ Now the Effects or Wonders of them are 〈◊〉 First Under Enoch his name signifies Catechised as Gen. 14. 14. Chanikan Catechised or Trained up in Religion as well as Warfareâ—… he was taught of God to walk with God he â—…ved 360 years before his Translation after good pleasing Life he was as the Patriarâ—… were viz. as a chief Bishop in his time and 〈◊〉 his Labours the Church was preserved in 〈◊〉 Age. The second Meeting of ♄ and ♃ This fell in the time of Noah 1600 years of the World in which Century the Universe Deluge destroyed the wicked World whiâ—… then was drowned in Wickedness before it was drowned in Water Noah was in his Ark a whoâ—e year with all his Provisions from November to November again The third Meeting of ♄ and ♃ in ♌ Falls in the year of the World 2400 under Moses when the Church had again another Sabbath of Rest from her long and grievous Slavery in the Brick Bondage of Egypt Read the Scripture of the place and you will find that they were to make Brick without Straw The fourth Meeting of ♄ and ♃ Falls in the 3200 years of the World this Meeting came under Solomon and the King of Israel according to the famous Tycho Brahe the Church had a resting time from
Trouble c. the Scripture tells you so The fifth Meeting of ♄ and ♃ Under this came our Saviour Christ who is greater than great Solomon Mat. 12. 42. He is the Prince of Peace This was a little more than 4000 years of the World The sixth Meeting of ♄ and ♃ Falls in the year of the World 4800 that brought in Charles the Great under whom was the Roman Empire in the time of Leo III. being Pope who prostituted his Keys to the Emperor's Feet for which the Popish People pull'd out his Eyes and cut off his Tongue Read the History Prideaux's Introduct p. 96. The seventh Meeting of ♄ and ♃ There are a parcel of irrational Animals which speak very scandalously against Predictions they say That we can speak nothing true of things to come unless told of it before or when they are past Now let the World judge and speak as they find in the Year 1682 I then published a Book Entituled Speculum Mundi in which are now to be seen the very Actions of these great Revolutions It being then my chief intention to discover to the World those great things Providence was probably likely to bring to pass from the Influences of the Meeting of the two great and superiour Beings the two Rulers of the World viz. ♄ and ♃ and likewise from the great Eclipses of the ☽ in Anno 1684 such an Eclipse hath not been these hundred Years and at that present time so many Planets in the House of Religion Then in pag. 2 you will find I cryed out with Admiration and Astonishment with the words of Dionysius Areopagita who seeing the strange Eclipses of the ☉ and ☽ at the very hour of our Saviour's Passion saying Aut Deus Naturae patitur aut Mundi machina dissolvitur Which is either the God of Nature suffers or the Frame of this World is dissolved So in pag. 4. I delivered my Judgment that here would be great Alterations in most parts of Europe of Laws Customs Constitutions of People in Matters of Religion and Changing of Kings and Kingly Government And is not this all true Were not the Popish Principles the root or cause of these Mutations and Changes And did not a Prince come from Holland with a handful of Men comparatively to that brave Army of K. James's And when this handful of Men came towards them they all fled as the Chaff before the Wind and to Admiration K. James himself fled to France when none perswaded him from his three Kingdoms and then soon after the Prince of Orange was Crowned King of England O that such things should be done without a drop of Bloodshed Surely Reader this is from the Powers above and the Powers above gave us a foresight of it by the Rulers ♄ and ♃ This hath been so admirable that our Athenians have taken notice of in their Book in asking a Question Whether a small irrational Creature as a Spider had not a Heart Because when Death or Oppression comes it struggles and makes a bustle to save its self intimating that K. James neither strove nor struggled to save his three Kingdoms or Credit This was a Comical Joke on the poor Abdicated K. James Observe the following things After the Death of K. Charles the Popish Party began to Rule and quickly after suppress'd and cut off the Head of the Duke of Monmouth then the Prince and Princess of Orange was Crowned King and Queen of England and not long after Queen Mary dyed with a long and tedious War of nine Years standing so this Revolution is a wonder to human Reason the Circumstances whereof would fill a large Volume As for the small Conjunctions I leave to the Astrologers which happen once in 20 Years CHAP. VII The Stars are reckon'd a Form of Letters according to the Opinion of the Hebrews and that it 's possible to read there whatsoever is to happen throughout the whole Universe REader did you never take notice of the Celestial Writing seeing that the Scripture so plainly speaks of it Pray take notice of this curious piece of Antiquity Seeing that the Heavens are Books and at the last day they are to be rolled together as a Book or Rolls therefore they must have Letters And I am willing to give you the method of the ways of the Old Hebrews who searched after the Heavenly Writing for News And for confirmation of this observe a Book Entituled Narratio Joseph in his time highly in esteem amongst all Men wherein the Patriarch Jacob gave his Blessing to all his Children telling them That he had read in the Tables of the Heavens all that ever was to befall them and their Posterity Legi saith he in Tabulis Coeli quaecunque contingent vobis filiis vestris Where the same Original concludes as well in this Tract as in this Question Utrum Stellae aliquid Agant as in his Book De Facto chap. 6. That the greatest Mysteries may assuredly be read in the Heavens by reason that the Stars are disposed and ordered there in the Form of Characters Nay John Damascene says That they are CLEAR MIRROURS intimating that we may see distinctly see there even as far as to the most secret motions of our Souls which was the Saying of St. Augustine For my part I shall not question the Truth of it but proceed to the Practical Part as the Hebrews did in their Hebrew Characters This Holy Language being the first in the World and sometimes there are New Stars which take their Method thus As for Example in this Word AKE if one add an L it will be no longer AKE but LAKE or if in the middle of a Word or this Word as thus an R it will alter the Word and make it ARKE so that we see one Letter as an L or an R absolutely change the whole sence in the same manner is it with the Stars where the New Stars are added varieth both in the Writing and Sence CHAP. VIII The Celestial Writing of the Ancients and how those Hebrew Characters may be understood and what they portend TO perfectly understand this Celestial Writing we must observe the Vertical Stars for those which are over a Kingdom saith Abindan do shew whatever is like to befall it and as the Astrologers observe in this our time Now saith the Author of this Celestial Writing We know that these Mutations shall happen on the Earth because we see they are written in the Heavens And this is the reason that R. Chomer affirms that the aforesaid Medusa's Head or the Stars that compose it did foretell the lamentable Desolation of Greece because that five of the principal Stars did for a good while together make up this Word Which is in the Conjugation Charab Second signifying to be Desolate understanding particularly this of Greece over which these Stars did shine because that the number of its Letters which are Jod Vau Nun and which being put together make up 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉
