A96277	Bellum Hybernicale: or, Ireland's vvarre astrologically demonstrated, from the late celestiall-congresse of the two malevolent planets, Saturne and Mars, in Taurus, the ascendent of that kingdome. VVherein likewise, their future opposition in the signs Sagittary and Gemini, (most ominous to London, and many other of the south and west parts of England) is mathematically handled. The ignorance, malice, mistakes, errors, insolencies, and impertinencies, of Iohn Booker, (in his astrologicall observations upon the said conjunction, in a late pamphlet of his, styled, A bloody Irish almanack, &c.) discovered, corrected, refuted, and retorted: and the author further vindicated, from his, and Master Lilly's former frivolous, false, and malicious aspersions, throughout the whole discourse. / By Capt. Geo: Wharton, student in astronomy.	Wharton, George, Sir, 1617-1681.	1646 (1646)	Wing W1543; Thomason E365_21; Thomason E374_9; ESTC R15814	23,053	41

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 Queenes Majesty a Traitor 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 Senselesse others wrangling away their lives by strange and Noisome diseases some are threatned by Prodigious Births and those too of their owne begetting And what not to render a People palpably accursed miserably and fully wretched Ireland now demands a reason for the Ordnance of the 24 of October 1644. And askes if you 'll 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 wee all looke back and say Lord what have wee done and been a doing for 7. yeares Some make question whether they be awake or in a dreame All men are at a stand yet still in Action The besotted Crew do quake and murmure say little but think mischievously Furorna 〈◊〉 an rapit vis acrior An culpa Responsum 〈◊〉 Tacent or a pallor albus inf●cit Mentesque perculsa stupent Doth fury blind or greater power command Is sin the cause Oh let me understand They silent are their checkes are paler made And feares their horror-strucken minds invade But it is the Conjunction of Saturne and Mars upon the 28. of Iune 1648. before mentioned will be assuredly fatall to London and many other places of England I pray God avert the judgements thereby threatned and incline the hearts of his Majesties Subjects that as they are or ought to be all Christians so to be of one mind and cordially to unite in obedience to God and loyalty to him their Pious Soveraign I have set the Scheme here that in case Iohn Booker have occasion to write of it he may have it exactly done ready to his hand for the Meridian of London and publish it without feare of further correction Thema Coelicum eoc tabulis Directionum Regiomontani ad tempus Apparens ☌ ♄ et ♂ die Mercurij Junij 28 1648 Hor. min.

You see Sir the Regall Signe Leo culminates the Sun who is Lord thereof and Venus and Mercury are in the ninth house of the Figure and Iupiter possesseth the mid-heaven The Conjunction happens in the eleventh deg. and eight min. of Gemini the Ascen. of London and in the eight house which is the house of death labours sadnes and heritage of dead men and Mars is Lord of the Ascend for the 3. deg. and 29. min. of Scorpio ascends at the time of this meeting And he likewise disposeth of the second House where the Dragons taile also miserably afflicteth I shall leave the judgement to Iohn Booker only I shall tell him thus much that I thinke the Cavaliers will by this time challenge a better esteem from the City of London then now they dare and perhaps enjoy their own without Composition I shall say no more but conclude with an Application of that pertinent and pious complaint of the Acquitaines occasioned upon the Deposing of King Richard the second to the present condition of this wretched Kingdome O good God! Where is the world become Saints are turned to Serpents and Doves into Devils The English Nation which hath been accompted fierce only against their Foes and alwaies faithfull to their Friends are now become both fierce and faithlesse against their lawfull and loving Prince and have most barbarously betrayed him Who would ever have thought that Christians that civill People that any men would thus have violated all Religion all Lawes and all honest and civill demeanor And although the Heavens blush at the view and the earth sweats at the burthen of so vile a villany and all men proclaime and exclaime upon shame and confusion against them yet they neither feel the horror nor shrinke at the shame nor feare the revenge but stand upon termes some of defence for the lawfulnes of their dealing and some of excuse for the necessity Well let them be able to blind the world and to resist mans revenge yet shal they never be able to escape either the fight or vengeance of Almighty God which wee dayly expect and earnestly desire to be powred upon them Alas good King Charles thy nature was too gentle and thy government too mild for so stiffe and stubborne a People what King will ever repose any trust in such unnaturall-Subjects but fetter them with Lawes as Theeves are with Irons What carriage hereafter can recover their credit What time will be sufficient to blot out this blemish What other action could they have done more joyfull to their enemies more wofull to their friends and more shamefull to themselves O corruption of times O conditions of men Hor. lib. 1.

for my nature abhors all manner of cruelty to the worst of men I think I could not harme either M. Lilly or Iohn Booker in word or deed if I had them in my power but rather use them with all civill respect and curtesie if they were worse then 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 aime at is to unmaske Bookers inveterate hatred to that distressed Nation who if he were but halfe 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 then the confusion of so many Christians The remainder of his Pamphlet tends to the defence of Astrologis wherein he still playes the thiefe with Sir Chr Heydon and of the Planet Venus her appearance in the day time at the birth of our most hopefull Prince Charles which he saith if she presignifieth any thing was the miseries of this Kingdome Because saith he it is usuall and an ordinary thing for Venus to be seene in the day time I grant him that it is both usuall and ordinary but not alwayes at the birth of Princes It is both usuall and ordinary for Saturne and Mars to be in Conjunction and shall wee therefore say it presignifies nothing I confesse I have not seene any Authors that handle such Appearances nor hath Booker any other Authority then his foolish Phancy 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 finde matter more then ordinary whereon to fixe his Contemplations And I am of opinion that her glorious appearance at the Nativity of our hopefull Prince Charles did presignifie things not yet thought upon that may ere long amaze the unjust usurpers of his Royall Fathers Birth-right But no more of that this ye●re I will not trouble my selfe much longer with this malicious fellowes errors and impertinencies nor with his scurrilous 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 grosse 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 21. day of October 1647. at halfe an houre past 6. a clock in the morning Saturne being then in 0. deg. 27. min. of Gemini the Ascendent 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 concerne the South and West parts of England and that in a higher measure then the Conjunction before treated of doth the Kingdome of Ireland See the Scheme et ●abente Anno. 1647.

Part. Cap. 6. saith Quod Oppositio Saturni Martis est deterior eorum conjunctione deteriores ac maligniores significationes demonstrant And indeed this is very malitious in that they are both unhappily affectted and afflicted Saturne being infortunate and Mars out of all his Essentiall-Dignities and otherwise but meanely fortified Haec oppositio significat quod homines in se invicem discordabunt prosequentur se mutuo odio cessabunt se familiariter invisere detrahet quilibet alteri Haly Part. 8. cap. 25. This Opposition signifieth that Men shall wrangle one with another and shall prosequute themselves mutually with hatred And they shall forbeare to visite one another familiarly And every one shall back-bite or speak evill of another It further praemonstrates great Pestilence and Mortalitie especially amongst Old men many Thefts and Roberies much deceitfull dealing and that generally men shall betray their Trust That many unjust and unreasonable Taxes shall be imposed under severall specious pretences to the undoing of many Farre worse then that of Shippe-money I have taken the paines to set Booker the Scheme rightly for London and if he doe not too much play the Foole or the Knave he needs must exceedingly terrifie the people subject to the Signe Gemini wherein Saturne 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 Moone 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 doe strongly besiege him he is miserably afflicted by their hatefull square and is also in his Detriment Looke now to your selves you of the Presbyterian-Cut the people are weary of your extemporary non-sence You Iudges Officers and Magistrates who have betrayed or forsaken your Master and perverted the Law to serve your owne wills expect to render an accompt of your actions I unfainedly protest you are all strongly threatned From the Sunne and Mercury expect your comfort or none They cast a friendly Sextile to Iupiter and they are free from the Malevolents though in the most viperous Signe of the Zodiaque The Sunne nere represents his Majesty of England as being both Lord of the 10. house and naturall Significator of Kings Mercury as he is with the Sun hath signification of the Masters of the Houses of
