Fore-Warn'd Fore-Arm'd OR England's Timely Warning in general and London's in Particular I Shall begin first with Mr. Lillies grounded on that as he said of Mother Shiptons but was not hers but Ambrose Merlins concerning London Published in his Englands Prophetical Merlin Anno 1642 page 91. the words are as followeth What Lincoln was and London is That York shall be The fairest City of the three Brave London prays that day she nere may see On which he saith That London in England by reason of the unlucky Position of Mars in her Sign and being Cadent from Aries and Mercury his Dispositer in Combust and in Detriment shall indure many a hard shock two plagues but from Mercuries being Combust and in detriment he might and its a wonder to mee why he did not say that one of those two Plagues might have been a fiery one as indeed it proved to be extream dammage in her Wealth the loss of many Valiant Citizens but it shall be with Honour and to her perpetual Renown Nor shall any man yet alive s●e the days Mother Shipton spake of concerning London yet in time all Cities must have an end But I rather think that about the year 1683. the City shall be in great danger and then come to a final Catastrophe during the Revolution of that fifth Conjunction So far Mr. Lilly in that page but its danger shall be more particularly declared anon But by that fifth Conjunction is to be understood that of Saturn and Jupiter in the Fiery Triplicity and in Leo on the 20 day of October Anno 1682. which will be their fifth from that seventh great Conjunction of theirs Anno 1603. when they left the Watery and entred into the Fiery Trigon on the 7 of December in the said year which kind of Conjunctions seldom or never hapned if Credit may be given to History Antiquity or Experience as Mr. Lilly saith but they were followed with great and strange Changes in the World both in Civil and Ecclesiastical States and are as seldom accompanied with any propitious Successes to England in general or London in particular 1. For at their first entrance into Aries called by Ptolomy the first of the Zodiake and the Arabians the fiery Trigon which was their first Conjunction after the Creation and was called their great Conjunction and was before Enochs Translation 2. Their Second before Noahs Flood and was followed with the sad Universal Deluge Nimrods usurped Monarchy and the building of Babel 3. Their third before Moses bringing the Israelites out of Egypt and the giving of the Law 4. Their fourth was also followed with erecting of the Empire of the Medes 5. Their Fifth with that of the Romans and the Incarnation of Christ and Publishing the Gospel to the Jews 6. Their Sixth with the Translation of the said Empire to the Germans 7. And their Seventh great yea and greatest being their Sabbatical Conjunction was Anno 1603. which was followed first with the Death of Queen Elizabeth a Mother to the English Nation at which time was a great Plague in London And secondly The raising the Monarchy of great Brittain and Ireland to the Family of the Stewarts in Scotland and could a more memorable change happen in this part of the World then for a Scotch King to become King of England and Ireland without blows considering the Antipathy between both Nations And was not this a raising of a new Monarchy and a great one too of which James the sixth of Scotland was the first King and our King Charles the second was and is the first King of the said Race born in it and to it and consequently a proper Native of it God grant he may live long to enjoy it And here we are to take Notice That these said seven Conjunctions of the two superior Planets are all the great Conjunctions that have been since the Creation or that will be in some Centuries of years if ever any more be at all of which Mr. Lilly doubted with many more the Sabbatical one being now already past neither do they come to pass above once in eight hundred years -And further that there have been but fifteen more in all of those two Planets since the Creation as appears by Ptolomy's Table of all the Conjunctions that have been of all the Plannets since as aforesaid of which said Table the Author hath a Copy now extant of Mr. Lillies Transcribing 1. Which said 15 Conjunctions past with the next to come this next October are called lesser or minor Conjunctions 2. But the next Conjunction that followed that of 1603. was that which came to pass in seven degrees of Leo in the same Trigon Anno 1623. and was followed first with King James his death and then with that Plague of which was said to dye above 50 thousand People in London Anno 1625. 3. Their third Conjunction fell out to be Anno 1642. in which said year began our intestine War between King and Parliament which lasted more or less with some Intermissions until 1652. in which year or the next we had a dull Saturnine Comet on Contemplation whereof Mr. Lilly writ a second Prediction for matter and form as followeth In the Year of Eighty Three Great Changes there will be In England But Long ere that time poor Merlin sleeps In his Grave secure sad England weeps Leaves he no Heir unhappy man That this obscure Riddle can Vnfold No. But more remarkable was that which followed their fourth Conjunction in Sagitarius and fiery Trigon Anno 1663. when all the Planets met in that house as at a general Rendezvouz to consult the effecting the heavenly decrees and was followed first with three great Comets in less then Seven Months space and then secondly with the greatest Pestilential Plague that ever London knew to the Destruction of near an hundred thousand People thereby leaving many houses desolate of the Inhabitants Anno 1665. and then with that dreadful fire which Consumed
