with Wantonness stust to that degree of Pride and Ambition that no state but Ruine can satisfy their Jew-like desires It was the Murdering of their heavenly King that made the Jews Slaves and Vagabonds and the crying Blood of his Anointed that already hath brought loads of Misery upon these nations And therefore Dear Countrymen and Neighbours let us for the future endeavour to Expiate that and not study to heap Coals of Confusion upon our Selves and Posterity but instead of that what may make both them and us happy for every Kingdom drvided against it self is brought to Desolation Luke 11.17 Now the Effects of the last great Tripple Conjunction begin to shew themselves to purpose and most degrees feel it especially Superiors some through Disobedience and Folly others against their Wills. Death spareth none but equals all The Mighty Mean and Poor must fall August Many hopeful endeavours are used this month to heal the Evils of those past and for settling things in a more secure slate for the future for the Peace and Satisfaction of Nations Kings Princes and private Persons at variance yea even between the two mighty Emperours of Germany and Turky they may palliate but cannot heal Some grave Statesman long clouded begins to Lustre forth Rays of Comfort to himself and others equally grieved Males and Females Gown-men and indeed almost every State to be satisfied with Reason finds this a month of Comfort in one degree or other in England Ireland and several other parts of Europe as well as America Merchants meet satisfactory Returns from Foreign parts those of the Gown and Bench with Preferment and several Females but one of most illustrious Birth in particular with most Honourable Marriage September Were it not for the malignant treacherous and twice reiterated Square of the two Superiors beginning within Orbs in January being Partile at the Vernal ingress and continuing even to the years end I should have judged the many friendly Aspects of the last and this month sufficient to compose all the Feuds in the World and create a Jubile but alas that were a happiness too too great for so sinfull a People as this Age contains for though it might satisfy some and those too lately afflicted yet it can not all for what is one mans Meat is another mans Poyson and what the Stomach cannot bear it will either reject or when forced upon it cast out there is a certain Sympathy and Antipathy in Nature which Wills some to Love what others Abhor and oftentimes there is Necessity to use force for Ease and Safety and perhaps may now for Cure of some State Distempers October Reason seems to confirm the season past for Publick Action and the Stars declare it in its Prince for Councel many deep and weighty Consultations and Debates are now on foor and I hope much to a general good and satisfaction but whether for past or present offences the common People are afflicted about this time with Imprisonment and such like Troubles False and lying reports are daily spread abroad to hurry people into Fears and Distractions and one Friend and Neighbour is ready 〈◊〉 accuse another and that unjustly too by which Offenders are brought to Justice The season is stormy yet Merchants meet happy returns Women in Travel and young Children find it but an indifferent season November Poor Jupiter continues still weak and afflicted both by Saturn and Men in Conjunction with the Dragons Tail. What is it base men cannot do when Able Strong Joyn'd and resolv'd for Mischief This Month is not inferiour to the former for Councel and Contrivances but of different Natures those publick and tending to Good and these private tending to evil Ay! even to dishonour Authority and Disturbance of Government and most sacred Divine Matters and to that end many base scrolls and Storys are broacht and pack't about but a short time will shew their Event in the Destruction of the Founders the design is general but particular to some great person Statesman c. who must fall by their Malice before their work can be accomplished But Saturn and mars changing their Signs in Conjunction will suddenly change the balance of Affairs bring Offenders to punishment occasion very bad Cold Snowy Stormy Weather and many Changes in Affairs of Government Church and State. December The coldness of the Season and the Friendship of the Stars seem to promise more Health than in several months past Increase of Trade and more general sitisfaction especially to England and Ireland An eminent Female receives Affliction or a garment of her first Element and many others Removals from their Honours Office and Imploys to make way for others conceiv'd more deserving many secret Ambassys are sent privately from one place and Princes Court to another about Matters of very great moment it is some business which should produce nothing but good and yet little will acrue from hence but evil Of the ECLIPSES 1688. THere will be four Eclipses this year the first of the Moon April the 5th at on the Afternoon The second of the Sun April the 20th at one in the Morning The third of the Moon September the 29th half an hour past 9 in the Morning The fourth of the Sun October the 14th near 7 in the Morning but all invisible and not to be seen or felt by us FINIS

but when provoked beyond measure justly become the most severe Punishers and no longer the Vessels of Mercy but Justice in so doing And therefore let us who call our selves Christians shew our selves so in obeying the Lord and his Anointed and no longer fool our selves with seditious Spirits and Fancies of what can only work the ruine of our selves and Posterity For Kings have long Arms and when thereto extended strike severely What People in Christendom enjoy the Blessings and Mercies we do under the best of Princes Who studys not so much his own as the good of his People and Glory of God how to give every man by Law Liberty to worship their heavenly Father in their own way and that is so far from using the Severity of his Predecessors that he studies to relieve all those oppressed and persecuted for Conscience sake even those of Foreign Nations that fly to him for Succour and are of different Persuasion from his own even forty thousand poor distressed French Protestants that justly owe their Lives and Liberties to his Gracious Goodness and Favour What can his own Subjects expect or crave more than he so bountifully vouchsafeth Strangers both to his Country and Religion Is it reasonable for a dutiful Child to expect less from his Father than he freely bestows to Strangers If not why should men study to heap coals of Confusion upon their own heads when they may with more ease avoid it Let all men vouchsafe their due Allegiance to their lawful Sovereign the only means to prevent the Ruine which otherwise may attend them and the Wo Sorrow and Affliction which is threatened to several parts of the World even in this year by the last and this Ingress I know some Authors are of opinion that Venus in the 7th as here is for reconciling Kingdoms and Persons at variance and as now in Trine to and Reception with Saturn and Sextile of Mercury conduceth much thereunto to some and to the Grandeur of the Nobility of Ireland in particular But as she is there in Square to Mars the clear contrary to others viz. the promotion of Wars Bloodshed Differences and Discord unusual Law-Suits and Controversies and shews that some one ominent Female will be subjected to the Frowns of Fate if not the Malice of Death or Comtempt of her Lord. And with this that Square and those of Jupiter to Mercury Saturn and Luna threatens abundance of Cold Rain Snow Storms Losses and Damage at Sea both by that and Pyrates more than usual Engagements or Sea Fights Disputes about Religion and Church Affairs and the broach or growing great of some new Sect or Sectaries many Removals among those of the Gown and Bench and some of the more aged of them into the other World but more particularly one of the most eminent Ruling Clergymen in Christendom Luna just separated from the body of Saturn and void of Course promiseth but little Satisfaction to the Vulgar but rather Disappointments Wo Grief Sorrow and Affliction wherever Providence shall dispose of the Effects and that partly by their own Folly and Stiffneckedness Yet the Lord of the second and Part of Fortune free from the malignant Beams of the Infortunes with the Position of Jupiter and Venus in the second in the preventional Lunation promiseth much less cause of Complaint for want of Trade than last year However I advise the Husbandman to provide well against a bad Harvest and hard Winter But that which is most observable in this Revolution is the Partile Square of Saturn and Jupiter from Cardinal Signs which will in earnest usher in and that speedily too the Effects of their Conjunction in the years 1682 1683. and make the World sensible that such Congresses have influence upon the state of Laws Customs Constitutions and Prviledges of Nations Persons Places and things Ecclesiastical and to change them too And therefore it is not to be expected Astrologers should under them preach Peace and Tranquillity when the contrary is so severely threatned as now and I dare aver will be felt by most States and Degrees of Peoplein Europe While some that have been long wallowing in Blood are preparing and contriving to ease themselves of those burdens others are as fast running into like extreams Great Overtures are made by the Turks the Poles and Venetians seem inclinable to embrace them the Christian Emperour more slack but not so backward as of late France and Spain seem indifferently friendly the Swede and Dane to jurr the Poles and Muscovites as of late the Algerines pay for the Roast Scotland in Wisdom may be happy and Ireland not inferior the Dutch are imperious and will meet Correction from those whom I beseech God ever to enable to correct the Insolencies of their Enemies and bless with Health Peace and Plenty Amen Observations on the last 9 Months of the Year 1688. APril Besides being so at the Vernal Ingress Jupiter continues still in Square to Saturn and great part of the last and this Month in Square to Sol which with the Opposition of Sol and Saturn and other Configurations of this Month seem to threaten ten much Sickness about this time Dissatisfaction Grief Trouble and Vexation if not Death to some eminent Grandee or Grandees of Europe And indeed to persons of meaner quality frowns of Superiors loss of Honour Office and Imploy the downfall of some one or more eminent Gown-man Disputes about Religion or matters of Faith and great mischiefs at Sea both by Storms and Pyrates Engagements or Sea Fights may succeed but not this month I fear the London Merchants will share in the woful effects of the cross Configurations May. Matters seem now rather tending to Counsel than Actions however all are not idle but rather contriving or preparing for the Actions of the following months some endeavouring to create and others to destroy the Peace not only of particular Persons and Families but also Nations and Kingdoms the first seems to take most place now and may all just endeavours so succeed Great Britain is much concern'd in this months Proceedings and Holland is not idle but rather preparing for Action I wish it may prove for good but fear the contrary however that Nation is about this time making more than usual preparation for fitting out Shipping or some considerable Naval Action June Now the Actions of the year begin to shew themselves in their colours those concern'd hasting to oppose and engage each other and will not be wanting to furnish us with the news of some considerable Fight yea and perhaps at Sea too if not there will arise more than ordinary Disputes about matters relating thereunto if not about Religion also But if not this month we shall certainly hear plentifully of such matters before the Summer be over wherein Holland will be more than a little concern'd July Of all earthly blessings certainly there 's none so precious as health and peace and yet there are an Israel-like pamper'd People
