forenamed Opposition The words of that wrangling fellow called Naworth or Wharton or a man of a double name in the Prognostication of September are these At Michaelmas there 's an hatefull Opposition of Saturn and Mars something of great consequence will be done about that time prejudicious to the Rebels The Parliament Citizens of London and all those naturall English that adhere unto them are called Rebels by that ungodly Tribe of scornfull Monsters at Oxford and this scurrilous Language printed by command Vix credo But why this Opposition should prejudice the Parliament I see not It promiseth them such a Victory over their enemies as they yet never had And I will refer the reason of the Judgement to any moderate Artist In this Eclipse Mars is Lord of the Ascendant and so hath signification of our Parliaments affairs Saturn therein is their enemy because placed in the seventh house Now when Mars in his own house comes to Opposition of Saturn having no Fortitudes if we knock not our our enemies soundly I say then God is angry with us It points out something else c. But let this man of errour consider the Figure of the Suns entrance into Libra the 12 of September next and he shall finde to his grief the Dragons tail in the tenth house and Saturn Lord of the tenth in the twelfth Retrograde let him boast if he can of that position and see if such a glorious Conquest be thereby signified to chance to the Kingdoms Vipers as he Trayterously prophesieth Nothing troubles me more then in unfolding the truth I must instruct this Changling that pretends himself a Regall Prog-man for Astrologer he is none But to save me a labour I finde in the Judgement of my loving friend Master Booker upon the Autumnall Quarter these words which clearly end the Controversie out of such Authors as the Highway-finder G. W. sometimes to little purpose doth mention There can be nothing worse saith Master Booker then the Dragons tail in the tenth for Guido fol. 595 saith Significat impedimentum Regum atque Nobilium Magnatum diminutionem honoris eorum seu dignitatum Kings Nobles and great persons shall have many impediments and their honour and dignity blasted The losse of Honour is a signall of Victory in Naworths opinion Albumazar dixit significat depositionem pericula peregrinationem seu casum Albumazar saith When the Dragons tail is in the tenth it signifieth the deposing danger or oft running up and down or some Fall to chance to Kings Princes great Nobles c. Some might have Englished the Latine and it would bear the sense well as if such persons-should be enforced to flee away c. O what cause of insulting here is on Naworths side when it s almost conspicuous in that Naturall way we both judge by George his best friends must be utterly routed trudge run away with such trinkets as they can get and amongst the rest I know George himself Budget Almanack some say a Gown I hear of no Cloke will not be the last man that runs for fear of being taken prisoner and delivered over to Master Booker with whom I promise to intercede for good Quarter because George pretends to the Mathematicks But letting this Quibling Novice alone till he is better literated I shall do well to inform the world what the greatest Actions of this Eclipse may be In a word they are like to be of divers kindes but those of most eminency signified by Mars who tells you of most unnaturall Wars of unusuall Treachery in the Courts of Princes he tells you a Famine shall follow the effects of the Eclipse he tells you of the losse and drowning of men in Ships Pyracies Shipwracks whole Cities Countreys Towns wasted consumed depopulated burned down to ashes shot down to the ground and made Rubbish of fearfull and horrible Insurrections Discontents of Rapine Murder Thefts Plunder Pillaging death of severall young Nobles and Princes or men of Princely Progenie he threatens Poison to great ones unusuall Feavers multiplicity of Sea-fights infinite Losses at Sea multitudes of Pyrats a Plague amongst men Murrain amongst Cattel Mutinies of servants against Masters destruction of Sheep and little Cattel c.

I will pray for Peace though being a great sinner I despair of obtaining it This Eclipse is the Forerunner or Messenger of the death of some of the most eminent persons of Europe As the Eclipse falls out in the later degrees of a Signe it prenotes the death of some aged person and he a King or not much lesse Eastward ho Ego duorum Principum vel magnatum genituras novi quibus haec Eclipsis exitium aut graves aliquas calamitates aut difficultates denuntiat nomina eorum tuto nominari non possunt I know the Nativities of two Princes or great persons to whom this Eclipse portends either Destruction or many fearfull Calamities Their names I hold fit to be concealed c.
