Scale-sky and Cozen Germanie to MARTIN MAR-PRIEST THE NATIVITY Of Sir JOHN PRESBYTER Verified From his Conception THE length of his Life is like to be neither long nor good not not long 1. Because the Lord of life is not in the House of death which being Saturne saith Haly causeth him to be deformed ill-favoured ill-conditioned short of life death by taking away other mens goods yet while he lives he shall domineere over his brethren 2. Because he is infortunate by the Lord of Death which being the the Sunne in the House of Substance riches c. opposite to the royall Starre cor Leonis will manifest and bring to light his disloyalty to the State his cheating of the rich his robbing of the poor and bring him to a sudden untimely end perhaps hanging 3. Because the Moon is infortunate in the very cuspis of the horoscope which position yeelds him very short life unconstant medling with what he hath nothing to do yet while he lives he shal be numbred among great persons 2. Secondly not good because all the Planets are evill seated and convey all their mischefs to him so that he seems to a judicious eye not to be a creature compounded of the 4. Elements fire aire earth and water of which being miraculously commixed God made man but of exaltation above Christ Tyranny over the Conscience imprisoning the body extorting the Estate which being mixed with the ladle of Pride in the Caldron of presumption the devill made the Urchin called Sir John Presbyter His mischiefs are so many that they cannot well be noted in the bulke therefore we will take them assunder and see particularly what God hath done for him by permission the Divell by Act and the Planets by influence 1.

Jupiter makes him a lover of himself high-minded proud superstitious fearfull faint-hearted carelesse negligent prodigall and Imperious given to adultery and whoring and sends his evill Spirit called in Hebrew Hismaell to acompany him Also he makes him turne his Fathers the Bishops out of their Spiritualties that he may share their inheritance and change the Age of Gods people from better to worse 3. Mars makes him quarrelsome cruell angry Tyrannicall Unjust Unfaithfull a Blood-succer theevish a make-bate rash heady high-minded a Boaster very proud a persecuter of good Men a murderer furious desperate seditious and an Adulterer and sendeth his Divel called in Hebrew Barzabell to concommitate him 4. The Sunne makes him very Tyrannicall proud Ambitious doing mischief without end committing the Government of the Church into the hands of Ignoramus ambitious Phaetons with their
