FOur times shall the bright Lamps of Heaven be deprived this year thrice shall the Inhabitants of the earth lose the light of the Sun by the interposition of the opacious body of the Moon betwixt their sight and him and twice shall the Moon be deprived of her borrowed light by the direct interposition of the earth betwixt the Sun and her Both of the Moon and the first of the Sun will be conspicuous to us The first is of the Moon and happens according to the Julian account with us the 15. day of March at which time will the Moons Body be darkned The beginning shall be seen only in the Eastern parts of Europe and the whole in the Western In Asia and Africa it will not be discerned For the better understanding of the effects of this Eclipse of the Moon March 15. I will parallel it with a former Eclipse which by tracing Antiquity I find hapned 1345. three hundred and seven years since being within one degree of the Zodiak in the same sign as this wherein the position of Heaven not much differed from what it is now The principal effects which that Eclipse produced were these great tempests mighty high winds great flouds through abundance of rain which continued all Summer and most part of Autumn that year insomuch that in these Northern Regions Corn did putrifie and rot upon the ground by reason of the excess of wet and great corruption and decay of all fruits as also a great rot of sheep so that for two years next following there was a great scarcity and dearth in most Countries many Diseases and sudden deaths amongst Christians much Wars slaughters and blood-shed was in the world during the effects of this Eclipse The same year on St. Pauls day was so great an Earth-quake in Germany that many Villages and Bridges were overthrown and horrible Rains mixed with Toads annoyed the Inhabitants In the year 1346. the 28. day of the Moneth of August wax the sharp yet famous Battel fought in France near the Village of Cressye between Phylip the French King and Edward the third then King of England where the English with a weak power in comparison gave the French a total overthrowe the King of Bohemiah his Son newly elected Emperor was overthrown with the King of France who was brought prisoner into England the King of Bohemiah slain in the field and many gallants more And in the same year on the 17. of October following a party of the English under the Command of Mowbray and Queen Phylip who in the Kings absence were left to guard the marches of Scotland and lay upon the Borders of England to hinder the Invasion of the Scots these gave battel to the Scotch King and all his Forces near Nevil-Crofle in which Battel the Scotch King was taken prisoner and the chiefest of the Nobility were all slain and taken Thus had the English three great Princes at once prisoners thus as trouble so Honour Victory did attend the English during the effects of this Eclipse they were crowned on every side with glory and Renown I question not but the true English power will be as victorious let Scotland France the Dutch and Germans beware of too much provocations Some vctions of the like nature will be attempted to compleat the English glory The same year the 2. of August Callice was yielded to the English which had been long besieged thus Renowned were the English in all parts the Reasons in art I have not room to insert During the effects of this Eclipse the Heresie of the Adamites sprang up in Bohemia and John Wickliets opinions in England In the year 1347. and 1348. was so great mortality and pestilence the like had not been seen before and people were stricken with horror and fear by reason of the violent Feavers Aposthumes and swellings in their Bodies of which they died extreamly
