the Reader to consider but thus much with me that if as Sir Christopher Heydon hath said in his unparallell'd Treatise written in defence of Judicial Astrology against Mr. Chambers that Astrology is an Art which teacheth by the Motions Configurations and influences of the Signs Stars and Coelestial Planets to Prognosticate of the natural effects and mutations to come in the Elements and these inferiour and elementary bodies How I pray is it possible that this fellow can Prognosticate rightly of the natural effects and Mutations to come in the Elements and these inferiour and elementary bodies before he be able to Calculate exactly the true motions and configurations c. of the Signs Stars and Planets which you clearly see he is not And I marvel much that Lilly should be no more tender and cautelous of his credit then thus foolishly and frequently to divulge his unskilfulness for me thinks as he knows that he cannot Calculate the Houses exactly either by the Doctrine of Spherical Triangles or which is more ready and built upon the same foundation by the Tables of Directions in Regiomontanus to the degree and minute of each Cusp yet he should have held it a safer way if he purposed to palliate his defects to have set down the Cuspes only in whole degrees and not have published himself thus erroniously scrupulous which he might have done very easily by the Domifying tables without further help But I perceive him so impudent and shameless that he neither heeds nor cares what he does or otherwise he would have been more wary in supputating the places of the Planets For according to Eichstadius whom he endeavours to follow the Sun at the middle of the Eclipse should have been in 56 minutes of Aquarius and the Moon in 56 min. of the Opposite Sign Leo Venus in Capricorn 24 degr 29 min. and Mercury in Aquarius 3 degr 17. min. But this man's dscretion hath put the Sun in 53 min. of Aquarius iand the Moon in 53 min. of Leo Venus in 24. degr 39 min. of Capricorn and Mercury in the 3 degr 20 min. of Aquarius So that he hath erred 3 min. in the places of the Luminaries and Mercury and 10 min. in Venus as may appear to every man that will take the pains to Calculate the true places of these Planets by Eichstadius his Table to the Mean or Equal time of the said Eclipse And in like manner hath he playd the Botcher in his Figure at the Vernal ingress for according to the time therein posited the Cuspe of the tenth House ought to be 13 degr 44 min. of Taurus and the Ascendent 25 degr 48 min. of Leo yet he hath made the tenth House 14. degr 0 min. of Taurus and the Ascendent 26 degr 0 min. of Leo so that he hath committed 16 min. Error in the Cuspe of the tenth House and 12 min. in the Cuspe of the Ascendent nor is he less erronious in collocating of the Planets here than in the former Figure but especially in the Moon whom he hath placed in 27 degree 48 min. of Virgo whereas she ought to have been in 28 degr 14 min. of that Sign wherein he hath mistaken no less than 26 minutes And thus much I conceive sufficient to prove his ignorance in point of Art Now will I also unmask his Errors defects mistakes and mis-applications in matter of judgment I will not meddle with or question upon what grounds Prince Charles left his Native Country of England nor who were the original causes of this his so long absence It is sufficient that Wil. Lilly confesses him to be Enforc'd upon necessity exiled or banished for the honour of the English Parliament I will not enquire further then of the Scottish Papers whether the King be at present restrained from his Liberty as Lilly tells us he is Nor dare I interrogate by what Law of God or Man the King of Englands Person ought to be imprisoned or be disposed of by either or both of the two Kingdoms or by any or all of his Subjects Or whether His imprisonment c. be intended for the defence of his Majesties Royal Person c. and the Liberty of the Subject Or how it can consist with the Honour of the English Parliament to suffer his Majesties Honour thus to lye at the stake and his Sacred Name to be traduced by such Pamphlet-mongers as Lilly and Booker and that Pillory-man Walker without any restraint or punishment Neither do I care whether the Eclipse in Aug. 1645. pre-signified the P. of the Earl of Essex or whether he have merited so much Honour as to have a Statua in Crown Gold erected at the Charges of William Lilly and an Epitaph made and thereon engraven by Martin Parker or Mercer the Scot These things are all beside my Text my intention being only to examine Master Merlin's Astrological discourse and to shew him and all men wherein it is invalid and no more The judgment he hath given is generally deduced from the position of the Heavens at two distinct points of time viz. From the Lunar Eclipse the 10 of January 1647. Suns entrance into Aries March 10. 1647. The Eclipse he makes the first general subject of his Discourse the effects whereof as he tells us may be somewhat put forward by reason of a non-apparent Eclipse in the 15 th degree of Capricorn December 26. 1646. What the Simpleton meaneth by putting forward I know not 't is no term in Astrology but surely I have Put him out of doubt in my Prognostication 1647. that Eclipses are not hurtful at all to those Regions or Cities where they are not visible yet lest the Testimony of that Learned Author therein mentioned should not be enough to convince him of his Folly I shall further recommend unto him the words of Cardanus upon Ptolomy lib. 2. cap. 5. Text 26. if he can Translate them any better than he hath done the first fifty Aphorisms of the Centiloquie they sound thus Ut igitur locus à deliquio affici debeat in Luna duo sunt necessaria Unum quod Luna tunc temporis in hemisphaerio superiore illius loci sit cum Provincia illa concordet signo vel trigono saltem Secundo cum Civitate in solis loco vel Lunae vel Ascendent is vel cum medio Coeli illius qui regit Civitatem ipsam In sole verò necessarium est praeter id quod fit supra terram conveniat locus ejus Provinciae-vel Civitati Eclipsis ipsa appareat Whereby it is clear that unless in a Lunar Eclipse the Moon be above the Earth and likewise on the Sign or at least in the Triplicity of that Sign whereunto unto the Kingdom in whose Hemisphere the Defect happeneth is subject And unless that the Sun or Moon-place or the Sign Ascending or Culminating be also the Horoscopical Sign of the City or Town you live in or enquire after the Effects of such a Lunar Eclipse shall not any way

ancient Christian Custom of Fasting they called this chief Season of Fasting the Fast of Lent because of Lenct-Monat wherein the most part of the time of this Fasting always fell and hereof it cometh that we now call it Lent or rather the Fast of Lent Sir Richard Baker saith it was first Commanded to be observed in England by Ercombert the 7 th King of Kâ—nt before the year of Christ 800. Of Ashwednesday THis is the Head or Beginning of the Quadragesimal Fast or Holy time of Lent dedicated by Gregory the Great to the Consecration of and Sprinkling with Ashes being therefore called Dies Cinerum or Ashwednesday And yet as Hospinian confesseth there is extant an Homily of Maximus Bishop of Tours in France with this Inscription IN DIE CINERUM which shews the institution thereof before his time For that Maximus Taurinensis lived 170 years before him viz. Anno Christi 440. Quadragesima is so called for that as before hath been noted it is Forty days distant from Easter comprehending the Fast of Lent as kept by the Primitive Christians in Imitation of our Saviours Fast of Forty days and Forty nights in the Desart It iâ— otherwise named Invocavit because that thereon iâ— sung Invocavit me ego exaudiam eum or taken out of Psal. 91.14 This is the First Sunday in Lent The Second Sunday in Lent is called Reminiscere from the entrance of the 6 verse of Psal. 25. Remeniscere miserationum tuarum Domine c. The Third Oculi from the entrance of the 15 verse of the same 25 Psal. Oculi mei semper ad Dominum c. The Fourth Laetare from the entrance of thâ— 10 verse of the 66 Chapter of Isaiah Laetare cuâ— Jerusalem c. it is called also Dominica de Rosa from the Golden Rose which the Roman Bishop carrieth in his Hand before the People in the Temple Likâ—wise Dominica de Panibus for that thereon the Miracle of the five Loaves in the Gospel is explained We in England rightly call it Midlent-Sunday The Fifth Judica from the entrance of Psalm 34. Judica me Deus discerne causam meam c. The Sixth Dominica Magna or the great Lords day because of the great and ineffable good thing which befel the Faithful in the following week viz. Death abolished Slander removed and the Tyranny oâ— the Devil loosed by the Death of Christ. It is also called Palm-Sunday from the Branches of Palms which the Jewish People strewed on the ground when our Saviour enter'd Jerusalem The Wednesday next after this is the Council day of the Scribes and Pharisees The Thursday following the Parasceve or preparation of the Legal-Passover and the Night thereof the Institution of the Supper This is otherwise called Maundy-Thursday from a Ceremony antiently used by the Bishops and Prelatâ—s in Cathedral Churches and Religious Houses of washing their Subjects Feet Which Ceremony is term'd the fulfilling the Mandate and is in imitation of our Saviour Christ who on this day at Night after his last Supper and before his Institution of the Blessed Sacrament washed his Disciples Feet telling them afterwards that they must do the like to one another which is the Mandate whence the day is denominated At the beginning of the aforesaid Ceremony these words of Christ uttered by him anon after his washing their Feet Joh. 13.34 are sung for an Antiphon Mandatum novum do vobis ut diligatis invicem sicut dilexi vos And lastly Good Friday being the Day of the Passion and Cross of Christ whereon he suffer'd and satisfied for the Sins of the whole World Next to the great Week succeeds the Pasche or Feast of Easter celebrated not in memory of the Angels Transit in Egypt according to the Jewish Custom but of the Resurrection of our Saviour And yet we retain the name Pasce not only because the Lamb which of old was kill'd by the Jews in the Passover was a Type of the Lamb of God Christ Jesus which was slain and sacrificed for the salvation of the World but because at that very time â—e passed from this World to his Father for Paesah or Phase signifies a passage or because that then a passage is made from an Old to a New Life It is called Easter from Eoster a Goddess of the Old Saâ—cons whose Feast they kept in April or as Minshew hath it because at that time our Sun of Righteousness did rise as the Sun in the East And â—his is the foundation Basis of all the Lords days in the year After this doth immediately follow the Quinquagesimal Interval of Fifty days betwixt Easter and Pentecost which was kept by the Primitive Christians as a whole Festival in Honour of the Resurrection and Ascension of Christ and the Glorious Mission of the Holy Ghost with exceeding great Rejoycing and Gladness It containeth Six Lords days or Sundays Whereof The First is called Quasimodogeniti from the entrance of 1 Pet. 2.2 Quasi modo geniti Infantes rationabiles sine dolore lac concupiscite It is otherwise called Dominica in albis in respect of the Angels that appear'd at the Resurrection in White Garments and because such as of Old were Baptized on Easter day did wear and walk in White Garments all the Week after until this day on which they laid them aside Or for that those who had then been Baptized were confirm'd of the Bishop and put on other White Vestments which they wore till the following Sunday The Second Sunday after Easter is called Misericordia from the entrance of the 5 verse of Psal. 32. Misericordiâ Domini plena est terra c. The Third Jubilate from the entrance of Psal. 65. Jubilate Deo omnis terra c. The Fourth Cantate from the entrance of Psal. 98. Cantate Domino Canticum novum c. The Fifth Vocem jucunditatis from the like entrance Vocem jucunditatis annunciate audiatur c. This is also called Rogation Sunday and the Week following Rogation Week Invented or Restored by Mamercus or Mamersus Bishop of Vienna Anno Christi 452. and so called à rogando Deum as being once we cannot say now Extraordinarily consecrated above all other weeks in the year unto Prayâ—rs and Supplications 1. Because Princes about this time undertake their Wars 2. For that the Fruits of the Earth being in their Blossom are in great hazard In both which respects all Christians have good occasion at this Season especially to Pray In this week also it hath been an ancient and good Custom continued till of late days to make perambulations and processions in every Parish and Township for viewing and considering the ancient Bounds and Limits to prevent incroachments and contentions On the Thursday also of this Week which is the Fortieth day from Easter was wont to be celebrated the Feast of Christs Ascension which is the Consummation of all he did and taught whilst on Earth and therefore termed Foelix clausula totius Itinerarii filii Dei

So likewise the Regions unto which this Comet was Vertical For as Origanus pag. 525. Cometae illis regionibus imprimis nocent quibus sunt verticales aut in quarum sunt signis Comets saith he do especially hurt those Regions unto which they are Vertical or in whose Signs they happen And our Learned Country-man Dr. d ee tells us Aphor. 54. Quo magis ad perpendicularitatem c. By how much more the Radious Axis of any Star or Comet comes nearer being perpendicular to any Elementary Superficies by so much more powerfully that Star or Comet pours out its Vertues upon the place of its Incidence For the specifical Vertues of the Stars and Comets being conveyed to us by their Light the fewer the Beams are that fall upon the Horizon the less shall be their Vertue and that fewer Beams fall upon the place of the Horizon in their Oblique Position than when they approach nearer to or are in their Perpendicularity is evident to every one but meanly Versed in Geometry and the Opticks Now what the Regions and Countries be unto which this Comet became Perpendicular the following Aphorism will determine Stella verticales sunt illae quae tantam habent declinationem ab Aequinoctiali quanta est elevatio Poli illius Regionis Stars that be Vertical are those which have as much Declination from the Equinoctial as is the Elevation of the Pole or Latitude of the place And therefore all the Regions Kingdoms Common-wealths Countreys and Towns that have from 00. degrees to 16. degrees 46 minutes of South Latitude and from 00. degr to 49° 9′ of North Latitude are herein principally concern'd I 'le only instance some few eminent places on this side the Equator the rest you may see in the Globe Alexandria in Egypt Ancona in Italy Athens Avenio in France Babylon Bactra Barcino in Catholon Basilia in Helvetia Berna in Helvetia Bethlehem Bononia in Italy Bourdeaux in France Brundusium Buda in Hungary Burgos in Spain Chartres Compostella Constantinople Constance Conimbria in Portugal Corduba Corinthus Dalmatia in Egypt Damascus Ephesus Ferraria Fessa Florence Gades in Spain Genoua in Italy Goa in India Halicarnassus Hamburgh Hydruntum Hierusalem Ingolstade Leyden Lyons Lisbon Lucca S.

Ulissippo in Portugal Urbinum in Italy Here it may be objected whether England shall not suffer by the Effects of this Comet as well as other places To which I answer That although I find it not Vertical to any part of England yet I must needs confess it wanted but a little of being so in the Southern parts thereof and cannot therefore be exempted from sharing with other places in the Miseries and Calamities threatned them especially London in whose Ascendant the Comet first appeared Howbeit England in general shall not suffer by it so extreamly as some Provinces and Cities of Italy France Spain Portugal and other Countreys under whose Ascendant it moved or to whom it was Vertical It was a Retrograde Comet in Gemini and Taurus Anno 1553. That immediately preceded a great Earthquake and horrible Winds in the Countreys bordering upon the Rhine A Schism in England a Famine in Germany an Inundation of Waters in Polonia and no fewer than 960 Houses in one Town in Brabant all of them burnt and consumed by Fire The Death of Clement the Seventh and the Duke of Millan And why not this another Earthquake and Famine in Germany or France A fine new Schism in England or another such Deluge in Polonia Why not the like Mischiefs by Fire about Cracovia or Casimyria Why may not another such Duke or Prince a King or an Emperour give up the Ghost A Pope or a Cardinal be Poysoned or Stab'd But Solinumine afflati praedicant particularia I must not exceed the Limits of a general Judgment neither the bounds alotted me by the Printer yet to satisfie the unbelieving part of the World that Comets have really ever been the Prodromi or fore-runners of the Death of one or more such Personages for those are the proper Subjects of Comets I shall here give them the following Catalogue wherein to recede no further are The Years of the Comets after Christ.

thought upon that may ere long amaze the unjust Usurpers of his Royal Fathers Birth-right But no more of that this Year I will not trouble my self much longer with this Malicious Fellows Errors and Impertinencies nor with his scurrillous Language belch'd out against an Irish Gentleman who writ an Almanack Printed at Waterford in Ireland I never saw the Book and therefore I cannot judge of any thing in it nor admit of any such thing as Booker pretends to have Corrected him in For I have it from good hands that the Gentleman is so knowing a Scholar that it is incredible he should be guilty of such gross Errors as Booker hath charged him with And you have seen how able a Man Booker is to Correct any body But were I that Manapian he speaks of I would reward him with another Scheme for the future Opposition of the same Planets which happens upon the 20 day of October 1647. at half an hour past 6 a Clock in the Morning Saturn being then in 0. deg 27 min. of Gemini the Ascendant of London and Mars in 0. deg 27 min. of Sagit as appeareth by the Figure which I have Calculated exactly for the Meridian of London because it will much concern the South and West parts of England and that in a higher measure than the Conjunction before treated of doth the Kingdom of Ireland See the Scheme A Labente Anno. 1647 Octobr. 20 18 Hor 4 min 18 sec. Lost meridiem Latitud 51.32 And until the time of this Opposition do the Effects of the Conjunction vigorously extend themselves and then they have lasted 539 days which wants but 8 days of a Year and a half after which time the Effects of this Opposition shall begin and forcibly Operate until their next Conjunction which will happen again upon the 28 day of June 1648. in the 11 deg of Gemini which will be very ominous to some parts of England and especially the City of London For I cannot say the Effects of the Opposition shall cease when the Mathematical Circuit of their Conjunction finishes because that next Conjunction doth likewise happen in the Sign Gemini wherein Saturn is at the time of his Opposition to Mars which will not much differ in signification Although it be a received Truth that the Effects of the Opposition of these two Planets do commonly work more violently and quick Nam diametrae radiationes quemadmodum Tetragonismi mortes repentinas violentas mutationes faciunt congressus vero generalia accidentia And Haly the Arabian in his 8 Part Cap. 6. saith Quod Oppositio Saturni Martis est deterior eorum Conjunctione deteriores ac maligniores significationes demonstrant And indeed this is very Malicious in that they are both unhappily affected and afflicted Saturn being infortunate and Mars out of all his Essential Dignities and otherwise but meanly Fortified Haec oppositio significat quod homines in se invicem discordabunt prosequentur se mutuo odio cessabunt se familiariter invisere detrabet quilibet alteri Haly Part 8. Cap. 25. This Opposition signifieth that Men shall wrangle one with another and shall Prosecute themselves mutually with hatred And they shall forbear to visit one another familiarly And every one shall back-bite or speak evil of another It further praemonstrates great Pestilence and Mortality especially amongst Old Men Many Thefts and Robberies much deceitful dealing and that generally Men shall betray their Trust. That many unjust and unreasonable Taxes shall be imposed under several specious pretences to the undoing of many far worse than that of Ship-money I have taken the pains to set Booker the Scheme rightly for London and if he do not too much play the Fool or the Knave he needs must exceedingly terrifie the People subject to the Sign Gemini wherein Saturn is at the time of this Opposition in the 8. House the House of Death and Venus who is Lady of the 8. House is with the Moon in the latter end of the 2. House where likewise Mars afflicteth The 4. deg of Leo culminates Jupiter is in the latter end of the 10. House but Saturn and Mars do strongly besiege him He is miserably afflicted by their hateful square and is also in his Detriment Look now to your selves you of the Presbyterian-Cut the People are weary of your extemporary non-sence You Judges Officers and Magistrates who have betrayed or forsaken your Master and perverted the Law to serve your own wills expect to render an account of your Actions I unfeignedly protest you are all strongly threatned From the Sun and Mercury expect your comfort or none They cast a Friendly Sextile to Jupiter and they are free from the Malevolents though in the most viperous Sign of the Zodiack The Sun here represents His Majesty of England as being both Lord of the 10. House and Natural Significator of Kings Mercury as he is with the Sun hath signification of the Masters of the Houses of Princes and great Lords and their Secretaries and Stewards And they are both if not only Angular in the Figure This promises well to His Majesty and his Servants and not one jot of ill to Ireland By this time a Man may call a Spade a Spade Let me see the Face of him dare call the Queens Majesty a Traytor But the States have Voted her so for her Love so exemplarily shewed to the King her Husband Is there not one Lord nor Ten Commoners yet ashamed of it Yes some blush others are bold and impudent some stupidly senseless others wrangling away their Lives by strange and noisome Diseases some are threatned by Prodigious Births and those too of their own begetting And what not to render a People palpably accursed miserably and fully wretched Ireland now demands a reason for the Ordinance of the 24 of October 1644. And asks if you will buy any Land there Scotland tells you they have as great an Interest in the King as England and will in some of the Lands too if you will needs In a word we all look back and say Lord what have we done and been a doing for 7 Years Some make Question whether they be awake or in a Dream All Men are at a stand yet still in Action The besotted Crew do quake and murmure say little but think mischievously Furórne coecus an rapit vis acrior An culpa Responsum date Tacent Et ora pallor albus inficit Mentesque perculsae stupent Doth fury blind or greater Power command Is Sin the cause Oh let me understand They silent are Their cheeks are paler made And fears their horror-strucken Minds invade But it is the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars upon the 28 of June 1648. before mentioned will be assuredly Fatal to London and many other places of England I pray God avert the Judgments thereby threatned and incline the Hearts of His Majesties Subjects that as they are or ought to be all Christians so to be of
