Imprinted for Edwarde White and Thomas Man A Wonderfull strange and miraculous Astrologicall Prognostication for this yeere 1591. Discouering such wonders to happen this yeere as neuer chaunced since Noes floud Wherein if there be found one lye the Author will loose his credit for euer Newly corrected By Adam Fouleweather Student in Astronomy Imprinted at London by Thomas Scarlet ¶ To the Readers health SItting Gentlemen vpon Douer cliffes to quaint my selfe with the art of Nauigation and knowe the course of the Tides as the Danske Crowes gather on the Sandes against a storme so there appeared on the downs such a flock of knaues that by Astrological coniectures I began to gather that this yeere would proue intemperate by an extreme heat in Sōmer insomuch that the stones in Cheap side should be so hot that diuers persons should feare to goe from Poules to the Counter in the Poultrye wherupon I betook me to my Ephimerides and erecting a figure haue found strange accidents to fall out this yeere Mercurye being Lord and predominate in the house of Fortune that many fooles shall haue full cofers and wise men walke vp and downe with empty pursses that if Iupiter were not ioyned with him in a fauourable aspect the Butchers of East-cheape should doo little or nothing all Lent but make prickes seeing therefore the wonders that are like to fall out this present yeere I haue for the benefit of my Countrymen taken in hand to make this Prognostication discoursing breefelye of the Eclipses both of Sunne and Moone with their dangerous effectes like to followe which if God preuent not many poore men are like to fast on Sondaies for want of food and such as haue no shooes to goe barefoot if certaine deuout Coblers proue not the more curteous but yet Astrologie is not so certaine but it may fayle and therfore diuers Hostesses shall chaulke more this yeere then their Guests wil wipe out so that I conclude whatsoeuer is saide by art Sapiens dominalitur astris Your freend and Student in Astrologie Adam Fouleweather Of the Eclipses that shall happen this present yeere to the great and fearfull terrifying of the beholders IF we may credit the authenticall censures of Albumazar and Ptolomey about the motions of celestial bodies whose influence dooth exitat and procure continuall mutability in the lower region we shall finde that the Moone this yeere shall be eclipsed which shall happen in one of the twelue moneths and some of the foure quarters of the yeere whose pointes as they shall be totally durkened so the effectes shall be wondrous and strange For Cancer being the sole house of the Moone dooth presage that this yeere fruites shall be greatly eaten with Catterpillers as Brokers Farmers and Flatterers which feeding on the sweat of other mens browes shall greatly hinder the beauty of the spring and disparage the growth of all hot hearbs vnlesse some northerlye winde of Gods vengeance cleere the trees of such Catterpillers with a hot plague and the pestilence But Cancer being a watry signe and cheefe gouernour of flouds and streames it foresheweth that fish-mongers if they be not well lookt to shall goe downe as farre as Graues end in Wherries and forestall the market to the great preiudice of the poore that all Lent ground their fare on the benefit of Salt fishe and red Herring Besides it signifieth that Brewers shall make hauocke of Theames water and put more liquour then they were accustomed amongst their Maulte to the ouerthrowe of certaine crased Ale knights whose morning draughtes of strong Beere is a great staye to their stomacks a lamentable case if it be not lookt into and preuented by some speedy supplication to the woorshipfull order of ale cunners But in this we haue great hope that because the effects cannot surprise the cause diuers Tapsters shall trust out more then they can get in and although they fill their Pots but halfe full yet for want of true dealing dye in the Brewers debt Thus much for the watry signe of Cancer and because this Eclipse is little visible in our horison I passe it ouer with this prouiso to all seafaring men to cary more shirts then one with them a ship boord lest to their great labour they spend many houres in murthering their vermin on the hatches ¶ The Eclipse of the Sunne THe Eclipse of the Sun according to Proclus opinion is like to produce many hot and pestilent infirmities especially amongst Sunmers and Pettyfoggers whose faces being combust with manye fierye inflamations shall shewe the dearth that by their deuout drinking is like to ensue of Barly if violent death take not awaye such consuming maultwoormes Diuers are like to be troubled with such hot rewmes in their heads that their haire shall fall off and such hot agues shall raigne this yeere with strange feuers and calamities that if the Sunne were not placed in a colde signe Renishe Wine would rise to ten pence a quart before the latter end of August But diuers good planets being retrograde foretelleth that Lemmans this yeere shal be plenty insomuch that many shall vse them to bedward for the quallifying of their hot and inflamed stomackes And Mars being placed neere the Sunne sheweth that there shall be a great death among people olde women that can liue no longer shall dye for age and yong men that haue Usurers to their father shall this yeere haue great cause to laugh for the Deuil hath made a decree that after they are once in hell they shall neuer rise againe to trouble their executors Beside that by all coniecturall argumentes the influence of Mars shall be so violent that diuers souldiers in partes beyond the seas shall fall out for want of their pay and heere in our meridionall clime great quarrels shal be raised between man and man especiallye in cases of Law gentry shal goe check mate with Iustice and coyne out-countenance oft times equitie the poore sitting on pennylesse benche shall sell their Coates to striue for a straw Lawyers laugh such fooles to scorn as cannot keep their crowns in their purses Further there is like to be great falling out amongst Church men and certaine fond sects of religion like to trouble the commons selfe conceipters and ouer holy counterfeites that delight in singularitie shall rise vp and despise authoritie presuming euen to abuse the higher powers if Saturne with a frowning influence did not threaten them with Tibornes consequence But wheras the Sun is darkned but by digits and that vpon the south points it presageth great miseries to Spaine and those Southerlye Countries Friers and Monks shall heat them so this yeer with confessing of harlots that their crownes shall wax balde of their own accord to the great impouerishing of the Spanish Barbers Surgeons in Spain shall wax rich and their Hospitals poore such a pestilent mortallitye is like to fall amongst those hipocriticall Masse-mongers The dukes Marquesses and Counties shall haue their dublets closed with

strangling Now for that Capricornus is a signe wherin Luna is often resident it prognosticateth a great death amongst hornde beastes The Butchers shall commit wilfull murther vpon Sheepe and Oxen and diuers Keepers kill store of Buckes and reserue no other fees to their selues but the hornes insomuche that if the Parson of Horne-Church in Essex take not heede there maye hap to prooue this yeere some Cuckoldes in his Parrish But there is like to bee concluded by an act set downe in Graues ende Barge that hee that wypes his Nose and hath it not shall forfeite his whole face And that all such as are Iealous ouer their wiues without cause are worthie to bee punisht with the horne plague for their labour And whereas this Eclipse is farre from the signe Pisces it shewes that there shall bee much stinking fish this yere at Billings gate and that Quinborowe oyster boates shall ofte times carrie knaues as well as honest men But let the Fish-wiues take heede for if most of hem proue not scoldes because Pisces is a signe that gouernes the feete they shall weare out more shooes in Lent then in anie two months beside through the whole yeere and get their liuing by walking and crying because they slaundered Ram alley with such a tragical infamie The rest I conceale as friuolous and little necessarie to be touched in this Prognostication A declaration of the generall disposition of sundrie conceited qualities incident vnto mens mindes natures throughout these foure quarters of the yere by the merrie influence of the Planets with some other tragicall euents and obseruations worthie the noting contayned vnder each seperated reuolution And first of the inclination of the Winter quarter Winter the first Astronomicall quarter of the yeare according to my vsuall account whatsoeuer Ptolomie sayes beginneth sooner with poore men than with rich graunted so by the malignant influence of Saturne whose constellation is that suche as haue no mony nor credit shal want coales woode and be faine to stande and starue for colde while olde pennifathers sit and toast them selues by the fire The winter beginning at that instant whē the Sun makes his enterance into the first degree of Capricornus that Hiemall solstitial signe shewes that by natural inclination this quarter is generally fleugmatike and that Ale shall bee of so greate authoritie that the Bakers basket shall giue the wall vnto the Brewers barrell and a halfe pennye drie doe homage vnto a halfe pennye wet The weather and season wilbe so cold that diuerse for feare of the frost shall sit all daye at Tables and Cardes while their poore wiues familes fast at home for their folies And in respecte that I finde three of the seauen Planetes to be in waterie signes as Iuppiter Mars and the Moone it signifieth that diuerse persons both men and women for want of wine or strong drinke shall goe to bedde sober against their willes That Sea-faring men shall haue ill lucke if either their shippes hit agaynst rockes or sticke in the sandes That ther shal be such great hoarie frosts that men women shall creep to bed together some of them liee so long till they bee fetcht out with a Bason Heere Saturne retrograde in Gemini shewes that there shall this Winter fall such greate fogges and mistes that diuerse riche men shall loose their purses by the highe waie side and poore men bee so weather beaten by the crafte of vsurers that they shall begge their bread by the extremitie of such extortion But Mercurie Uenus cōgregated in Sagitarie prognosticateth y t for want of faire weather such as haue but one shirt shall go woolward till that be a washing and that water-men that want fares shall sit and blowe their fingers till theyr fellowes row betwixte the olde Swan and Westminster And by reason that Mars that malignant Planet hath nothing to doe in that Hiemall reuolution souldiers this Winter for the most parte shall lie still in garrisons and shall not be troubled with more monie than is necessarie Being also greatly to be feared y t through extreame colde poore men shall die at riche mennes doores pittie shall bee exiled good woorkes truste ouer the sea with Iacke a lent and Hospitalitie banisht as a signe of popish religion and were it not that some moist shoures shal moderate the hardnes of the frost Charitie should for want of house rome lie freeze to death in y e streets Diuerse greate stormes are this yeere to be feared especially in houses where the wiues weare the breeches with such lowde windes that the women shall scolde their husbands quight out of doores wherevpon is like to fall great hailestones as bigge as ioynd stooles that some shall haue their heads broken and all through the froward disposition of Uenus But Mars comes in and playes the man who beeing placed in Gemini that gouernes the armes and shoulders presageth that sundrie tall fellowes shall take heart at grasse who beeing armed with good cudgels shall so lambeake these stubborne huswiues that the wind shall turne into another quarter and so the weather ware more calme and quiet Such great flods are like to insue through this hiemall distemperature y t diuerse men shall bee drowned on drie hils fish if they could not swim were vtterly like to perish Eeles are like to bee deere if there bee few or none taken and plentie of poutes to bee had in all places especiallie in those coastes and Countries where weomen haue not their owne willes Now gētle reader in respect of diuers particular circūstances drawn frō the daily motions progressions stations retrogradations aspects and other appointments of fixed and wandring stars I am induced to set downe that such as haue no fire shall feele most cold and that wierdrawers if they plye not their worke shall feele no great heate that they in Russia shall suffer more preiudice by the sharpenesse of Winter than the Spaniards And one thing is to bee hoped for at the handes of Mercurie that this winter mony shall haue a fall for Philip and Mary shillings that heretofore went for 12. d. shall now passe from man to man for 6.d a peece The distemperance of this quarter is like to breede many sickenesses and sundrie diseases as well in young as in old proceeding either of corrupt and vicious bloud or of superabundance of crude and raw fleugmatike humors As Cephalagies or paines in the head which shall make men dizzy that some shal stagger stumble vp downe the streetes till they haue stolne a nappe to quiet their braines Ache in the shoulders shall raine aamongest diuerse women that haue shrewes to their husbands and diuerse drunken men shall bee pestured with surfets Maidens this winter shall haue strange stitches gripings of the collick which diseses proceed by to much lying vpright Men shall bee troubled with such paine in the eies that they shal not know their owne wiues from other

such Spanish buttons that they shall neuer proue good quiresters for the hot and inflamed rewms fallen downe into their throats It is further to be feared that because the Eclipse hapneth in Iulye there will through the extreame heat growe such abundance of Fleas that women shall not go to bed before twelue a clocke at night for the great murthers and stratagems they are like to commit vpon those little animalls And whereas this Eclipse falleth out at three of the clocke in the afternoone it foresheweth that manye shall goe soberer into Tauernes then they shall come out and that he which drinkes hard and lyes cold shal neuer dye of the sweate Item Gemini combust and retrograde sheweth that some shall haue so sore a sweating that they may sell their haire by the pound to stuffe Tennice balles but if the Beadles of Bride well be carefull this Summer it may be hoped that Peticote lane may be lesse pestered with ill aires then it was woont and the houses there so cleer clensed that honest women may dwel there without any dread of the whip and the carte And I finde that the altitude of that place and of Shordich are al one eleuated and two degrees and vnder y e zenith or verticall point of venus which presageth that sundry sortes of men women shalbe there resident some shall be so short heelde and so quesie stomackt that they shal lye in their beds while noon by which means they shal grow so full of grosse humors that they shalbe troubled w t strange timpanies and swellings in their bellies vncurable for forty weeks vntill they be helped by the aduice of some skilfull Midwife Besides other of the same sex and faction shall learn to cosin young nouices and fetch in young Gentlemen to the great ouerthrow of youth if some sharpe and speedye redresse be not fetcht from the woorshipfull Colledge of Phisitions in the parrish of S. Brides But heere by the waye gentle Reader note that this Eclipse sheweth that this yeer shall be some strange birthes of Children produced in some monstrous forme to the greefe of the Parentes and fearefull spectackle of the beholders but because the Eclipse chaunseth Southerlye it is little to be feared that the effectes shall fall in England yet some what it is to bee doubted that diuers Children shall be borne that when they come to age shall not knowe their owne Fathers others shall haue their fingers of the nature of Lyme twigges to get most parte of their liuing with fiue and a reache some shall be born with feet like vnto Hares that they shal run so swift that they shall neuer tarry with maister but trudge from poste to piller till they take vp beggars bush for their lodging Others shall haue Noses like Swine that there shall not be a feast within a myle but they shall smell it out But especiallye it is to be doubted that diuers women this yeere shall bee borne with two tungs to the terrible greefe of such as shall marry them vttering in their furye such rough cast eloquence that knaue and slaue shalbe but holy-day woords to their husbands And whereas this fearefull Eclipse dooth continue but an houre and a half it signifieth that this yeere womens loues to their husbands shal be very shorte some so momentary that it shal scarse continue from the church doore to the wedding house and that hennes capons Geese other pullin shall little haunt poore mens tables but flye awaye with spits in their bellies to fat Churls houses y t pamper themselues vp with delicates dainties And although verye fewe other effectes are to be prognosticated yet let me giue this caueat to my Countrymen as a clause to this wonderfull Eclipse Let such as haue clothes enow keep themselues warme from taking of coldes and I would wishe rich men all this winter to sit by a good fire and hardlye to goe to bed without a Cuppe of Sack and that so quallified with Suger that they proue not rewmatick let them feede daintilye and take ease enough and no doubt according to the iudgement of Albumazar they are like to liue as long as they can and not to dye one hower before their time Thus much for this strange Eclipse of the Sunne ¶ Of the second Eclipse of the Moone which is like to fall out when it chaunseth either before the 31. of December or els not at all this present yeere 1591. THe second Eclipse of the Moon shalbe but little seene in England wherevpon the effectes shall be nothing preiudiciall to our clyme yet as the bodye of the Moone is neuer obscure in part or in whole but some dangerous euents doo followe so I meane to set downe breefely what is to be lookte for in these westerne partes of the worlde First therefore it is to bee feared that the Danes shall this yeere bee greatlye giuen to drincke insomuch that Englishe Beere shall there be woorth fiue pence a stoape that their Hoffes and tappehouses shall be more frequented then Parishe Churches and manye shall haue more Spruce Beere in their bellies then wit in their heads wherevpon shall growe Apoplexies and colde palsies in their legges that they shall diuers times not bee able to stand on their feete Upon this shall grow great commodity to the Potters and Glasse makers for it is like there shall be a great ouerthrowe of them if there bee not some act made for drinking in blacke Iackes But if the weather prooue seasonable and the Haruest great and the Barnes full of Corne Rye is like to be cheap in Denmark and bread to be of a reasonable size for the releeuing of the poore Marty Fraunce is like to haue a great dearth of honest men if the King preuaile not against these mutenous rebels of y e League and Papists in diuers places to be plenty if God or the King route them not out with a sharpe ouerthrowe But this hope we haue against that rascall rabble of those shauelinges that there was found in an olde book this Prophecy spoken about Ierusalem long since by a Iew The tree that God hath not planted shall be pulled vp by the roots Some curious Astronomers of late dayes that are more Propheticall then Iudiciall affirme that Martin the kill-hog for his deuout drincking by the Pope canonized a Saint shall rise againe in the apparell of a Minister and tickle some of the baser sorte with such fond humors in their brains that diuers selfe conceited fooles shall become his disciples grounding their witlesse opinion on an heriticall foundation shall seeke to ruinate authoritie and peruert all good orders established in the Church to the great preiudice of vnity and religion tituling themselues by the names of Martinistes as the Donatistes grewe from Donatus Were it not that the Moone being in Taurus which gouernes the necke and throate shewes that the Squinancye shall raigne amongst them and diuers for want of breath dye of the
