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.
