Reason why the Irish may not challenge as much freedom and Priviledge in the enjoyment of their Religion as is allowed the Independents Anabaptists Brownists and at the least a hundred more Sects and Schismes within the Lines of Communication who have Libeâ—ty without any restraint or limitation to exercise their Gifts as they term it both publickly and privately To Preach and Write what they please and even to cloy the Press with â—heir Heresies and Schismes And if we look back upon the Original ground of the Irish Insurrection was it not high time think you for the Irish after they were denyed any reasonable Answer to their Propositions which were sent and delivered in an humble and peaceable manner to the Parliament by Commissioners of that Kingdom who were dismissed hence without any hopes of having their grievances redressed which notwithstanding were far greater and more intolerable than those which the Scots pretended when they clearly perceived so many pernicious Plots and damnable Designs daily inventing against them and with what Acrimony the Roman Catholicks here were proceeded against after the third of November 1640. After so much swearing and forswearing to take off the Earl of Strafford's Head And the Parliament electing a new Deputy of their own mould and metal to be sent over in his stead And His Majesties Person in continual hazard by the frequent Tumults of the Sectarists and Schismaticks Was it not time I say their Nation being thus neglected and threatned His Majesties Person being not exempt from danger and all this occasioned by their own fellow Subjects to associate and unite themselves and to stand upon their Guard for the preservation of their Religion Lives and Liberties And was it more Rebellion in them by the known Laws of this or that Land to raise Forces for the necessary defence of their Kingdom than in the English or Scots to raise so many great Armies that have fought against His Majesty under the pretence of Fighting for him whilst yet there hath been no body to oppose him but themselves I remember a few Verses that were written by some body Anno 1641. they resemble the form of a Petition directed to His Majesty by the considerate Catholicks of Ireland They are pretty ones and therefore I will here give you them as I had them from a Friend MOst gracious Soveraign grant that we may have Our ancient Land and Faith 't is all we crave Your English and your Scots not so content Claim all that 's Yours by Act of Parliament Their Tyranny we hate Confess your Right 'T is not 'gainst you 't is against them we Fight Whilst you were King we were your Subjects Scorn To be their Slaves we 're Fellow-Subjects born Heavens bless your Majesty increase your Powers You being your Self again we still are Yours But to return again to John Booker for I will not lose him yet I would gladly demand a Reason from him in Art for his menacing of France or Spain with vengeance for assisting the Irish Or why the Pope should come in any danger of hazarding his Triple Crown in the Quarrel Unless the States intend to advance for Italy If they do they may do well to transmit the Directory to Rome as the pre-cursor of a new Reformation there But I am afraid Sir Thomas his Courage will cool at the conceit Nor is it pertinent to the handling of this Conjunction for Booker to tell us an old story of the Spanish Armado in 88. or of the Gun-powder Treason 1605. The wickedness of those Devilish attempts are both thought on and abhorred by every true English Christian. Or of what concernment is the Decollation of Mary Queen of Scots Anno 1587. to the Kingdom of Ireland because that when she was Beheaded Saturn was in Taurus as now he is Or of Saturn and Mars their being conjoyned in the Year 1588. a little before the Spanish Armado appeared upon the English Coast Does not John Booker here most wretchedly confound himself Instead of going about to prove Saturn's Progress through Taurus Ominous to Ireland he contrarily produces Examples which prove that Position dangerous to England and Scotland For whatever his meaning be he instances not any one thing hurtful to Ireland in either of those Years And then he robs Sir Christopher Heydon of more than a whole Page concerning the general Occurrences in the World which happened in 88. without any mention made of that most Learned and Judicious Knight And so he proceeds to fill up the remainder of his Malicious Pamphlet with railing at the Irish telling them how they have ever been most Rebellious and Treacherous to the English Nation and have most Barbarously and Inhumanely Murthered many thousand Souls c. But we know of another Kingdom that hath sometimes been more Rebellious and Treacherous than they for less cause But I never heard of any Souls that ever either of them Murthered I speak not this to justifie or maintain any inhumane Action in Ireland or elsewhere for my Nature abhors all manner of Cruelty to the worst of Men I think I could not harm either Mr. Lilly or John Booker in word or deed if I had them in my power but rather use them with all civil respect and courtesie if they were worse than they be nor to countenance Treason and Rebellion That I need not it hath been sufficiently done by a far greater Power But the thing I aim at is to unmask Booker's inveterate hatred to that distressed Nation who if he were but half so Charitable as he is either unreasonable or ignorant he would not attempt to Assassine the Honour of a whole Nation with his Invectives but rather suspend these his rash Censures and wish a happy Union than the confusion of so many Christians The remainder of his Pamphlet tends to the Defence of Astrology wherein he still plays the Thief with Sir Chr. Heydon and of the Planet Venus her appearance in the day time at the Birth of our most hopeful Prince Charles which he saith if she presignifieth any thing was the Miseries of this Kingdom Because saith he it is usual and an ordinary thing for Venus to be seen in the day time I grant him that it is both usual and ordinary but not always at the Birth at Princes It is both usual and ordinary for Saturn and Mars to be in Conjunction and shall we therefore say it presignifies nothing I confess I have not seen any Authors that handle such Appearances nor hath Booker any other Authority than his foolish Fancy for saying she was the Prodromus of these unhappy differences in England But he that shall make inspection into the Positure of the Heavens when Venus was in Apog Eccentrici or in her greatest distance from the Sun shall find matter more than ordinary whereon to fix his Contemplations And I am of Opinion that her glorious appearance at the Nativity of our hopeful Prince Charles did presignifie things not yet

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.

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.
