of the Moon at the beginning on the line of Incidence as he should have done Humanity can but erre therefore let thy pardon argue the greatness of thy humanity since the disease is Epidemical I shall here give you some General Aporisms how to judge of Eclipses 1. Consider what Province or City is signified by the signe the Eclipse happens in and be sure that suffers 2. Consider what Kingdoms or Cities are under the Signe the Lords of the Eclipse are in and be sure their diet is served them with the same sauce 3. Note the nature of the Signe the Eclipse happens in if it be violent as this is the effects of the Eclipse will be the like if it be moveable they begin betimes if firy they signifie War and diseases of heat if fixed the effects though they work slowly yet they work surely if both firy and fixed as that will be 1654. they threaten a Hectick War 4. Take notice of the nature of the Signe if humane men suffer if bestial beasts also and if beasts then of necessity man because he takes his nourishment from beasts And now if I were minded to be critical what a gallant occasion have I Suppose the Signe be watry then quoth my learned Authors the water is afflicted and if the water be afflicted the earth must needs be because it is nourished by the water if the earth be afflicted then beasts because they are nourished by the earth beasts earth and water nourish man and why must not he be afflicted too Either the Signe the Eclipse is in or the Signe the Lords of the Eclipse are in being hot and dry cause corruption by heat and driness if cold and moist by coldness and moisture In this present Eclipse the Signe is hot and dry Saturn in Cancer cold and moist What miracle is it if it drown a Sea-town and consume a Land-town by fire 5. It is probably apparent that one and the same Eclipse may cause driness in one place and moistness in another thunder and lightning in a third earthquakes in a fourth barrenness in a fifth and burnings in a sixth and as many more as God pleases 6. Whatsoever evil falls upon Princes and Magistrates must needs touch the Commonally 7. An Eclipse of the Sun falling upon the angle of the Ascendant of any Nativity kills the native if it fall within three degrees it brings such a disease as cannot be claw'd off again with speed especially if the malevolent beheld the eclipsed Luminary at the Genesis and more probably if the eclipsed Luminaries be with the Dragons tail then if he be with the Dragons head 8. The Dragons head regards Princes most the Dragons tail the Plebeians 9. If between the time of the Eclipse and the effects of the Eclipse a good direction operate in the Nativity of a private person he need fear no evil though the Eclipse threaten him never so sore The curst Cow hath but short horns CHAP. V. A general Iudgment of the Effects of this Eclips AND in handling this I shall give you first the Judgment of Authors upon the Eclips Secondly former examples of Eclipses of like nature Thirdly my own judgment upon it To the first of these namely the judgement of Authors and in the judgment of Authors we have many things to consider As first of all the house of Heaven in which the Eclipse happens which is the tenth house the house of Kings Princes and other potentates and the house of all such as lord it over their brethren the Luminaries Eclipsed in the tenth house foreshowes death or deposition to Kings Princes Magistrates and such as call and account themselves Ecclesiastical persons thus Giuffus and this he confesseth depends upon the will of God and so it doth and yet it were wisdom for so many of them as lie under the lash of this Eclips which who they be more anon they have timely admonition and a woful experience given them in Isa. 5. 12 13 14 15. and 16 verses and a joyful promise to them that fear God in the 17. verse They regard not the works of the Lord nor consider the operation of his hands therefore my people are gone into captivity because they have no knowledge and their honorable men are famished and their multitudes are dried up with thirst Therefore the grave hath enlarged her self and opened her mouth without measure and their glory and their multitude and their pomp and he that rejoyceth shall descend into it And the mean man shall be brought down and the mighty man shall be humbled and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled But the Lord of Hosts shall be exalted in judgment and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness Father of mercy look down upon all those Magistrates that fear thy name thou knowest what man is thou knowest he is but dust and what can I say to the Magistracy of this Nation any more then what Daniel said to Nebuchad nezzar pray do not mistake me I do not liken you to Nebuchad nezzar nor my self to Daniel yet this I say these things were writ for our instruction upon whom the ends of the world are come if you will keep your places you must know that THE HEAVENS DO RULE Daniel 4. 27 Wherefore Oh KINGS and MAGISTRATES let my counsel be acceptable to you break off your sins by righteousness and your iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor it may be a lengthning of your tranquility I am sure it might have been had that course been taken in time had your PRIESTS discreetly handled according to the genuine meaning of the holy Ghost these two Scriptures this and that I quoted to you in Isaiah when they thundred out with a terrible voice Curse yee Meroz curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof c. How happy might it have been for this poor Nation how happy had all the Princes in Europe been if their lazy Clergy had done the like But the greatest part of that generation now living in Europe follow the example of Priests of Bell in the Apochripha eat and drink of the best live idlely and deceive their Princes You may remember I left you before at Isaiah 5. the 16. verse the 17. verse gives comfort to them that fear God and uprightly serve him for when the Lord shall have brought to pass what he threatned in the former verses Then saith he shall the lambs feed after their maner and the wast places of the fat ones shall strangers eat Indeed the truth is a general peace may be expected throughout the Earth now blush for shame all you that rail and scould at Astrology when you see the times of the book of the Scripture and the book of the Creatures end in a Centre And thus much for the house afflicted In the second place we come to the Planet afflicted and the sign he is afflicted in The Planet afflicted is the ☉ what his signification was I
