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.

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.

the Reader to consider but thus much with me that if as Sir Christopher Heydon hath said in his unparallell'd Treatise written in defence of Judicial Astrology against Mr. Chambers that Astrology is an Art which teacheth by the Motions Configurations and influences of the Signs Stars and Coelestial Planets to Prognosticate of the natural effects and mutations to come in the Elements and these inferiour and elementary bodies How I pray is it possible that this fellow can Prognosticate rightly of the natural effects and Mutations to come in the Elements and these inferiour and elementary bodies before he be able to Calculate exactly the true motions and configurations c. of the Signs Stars and Planets which you clearly see he is not And I marvel much that Lilly should be no more tender and cautelous of his credit then thus foolishly and frequently to divulge his unskilfulness for me thinks as he knows that he cannot Calculate the Houses exactly either by the Doctrine of Spherical Triangles or which is more ready and built upon the same foundation by the Tables of Directions in Regiomontanus to the degree and minute of each Cusp yet he should have held it a safer way if he purposed to palliate his defects to have set down the Cuspes only in whole degrees and not have published himself thus erroniously scrupulous which he might have done very easily by the Domifying tables without further help But I perceive him so impudent and shameless that he neither heeds nor cares what he does or otherwise he would have been more wary in supputating the places of the Planets For according to Eichstadius whom he endeavours to follow the Sun at the middle of the Eclipse should have been in 56 minutes of Aquarius and the Moon in 56 min. of the Opposite Sign Leo Venus in Capricorn 24 degr 29 min. and Mercury in Aquarius 3 degr 17. min. But this man's dscretion hath put the Sun in 53 min. of Aquarius iand the Moon in 53 min. of Leo Venus in 24. degr 39 min. of Capricorn and Mercury in the 3 degr 20 min. of Aquarius So that he hath erred 3 min. in the places of the Luminaries and Mercury and 10 min. in Venus as may appear to every man that will take the pains to Calculate the true places of these Planets by Eichstadius his Table to the Mean or Equal time of the said Eclipse And in like manner hath he playd the Botcher in his Figure at the Vernal ingress for according to the time therein posited the Cuspe of the tenth House ought to be 13 degr 44 min. of Taurus and the Ascendent 25 degr 48 min. of Leo yet he hath made the tenth House 14. degr 0 min. of Taurus and the Ascendent 26 degr 0 min. of Leo so that he hath committed 16 min. Error in the Cuspe of the tenth House and 12 min. in the Cuspe of the Ascendent nor is he less erronious in collocating of the Planets here than in the former Figure but especially in the Moon whom he hath placed in 27 degree 48 min. of Virgo whereas she ought to have been in 28 degr 14 min. of that Sign wherein he hath mistaken no less than 26 minutes And thus much I conceive sufficient to prove his ignorance in point of Art Now will I also unmask his Errors defects mistakes and mis-applications in matter of judgment I will not meddle with or question upon what grounds Prince Charles left his Native Country of England nor who were the original causes of this his so long absence It is sufficient that Wil. Lilly confesses him to be Enforc'd upon necessity exiled or banished for the honour of the English Parliament I will not enquire further then of the Scottish Papers whether the King be at present restrained from his Liberty as Lilly tells us he is Nor dare I interrogate by what Law of God or Man the King of Englands Person ought to be imprisoned or be disposed of by either or both of the two Kingdoms or by any or all of his Subjects Or whether His imprisonment c. be intended for the defence of his Majesties Royal Person c. and the Liberty of the Subject Or how it can consist with the Honour of the English Parliament to suffer his Majesties Honour thus to lye at the stake and his Sacred Name to be traduced by such Pamphlet-mongers as Lilly and Booker and that Pillory-man Walker without any restraint or punishment Neither do I care whether the Eclipse in Aug. 1645. pre-signified the P. of the Earl of Essex or whether he have merited so much Honour as to have a Statua in Crown Gold erected at the Charges of William Lilly and an Epitaph made and thereon engraven by Martin Parker or Mercer the Scot These things are all beside my Text my intention being only to examine Master Merlin's Astrological discourse and to shew him and all men wherein it is invalid and no more The judgment he hath given is generally deduced from the position of the Heavens at two distinct points of time viz. From the Lunar Eclipse the 10 of January 1647. Suns entrance into Aries March 10. 1647. The Eclipse he makes the first general subject of his Discourse the effects whereof as he tells us may be somewhat put forward by reason of a non-apparent Eclipse in the 15 th degree of Capricorn December 26. 1646. What the Simpleton meaneth by putting forward I know not 't is no term in Astrology but surely I have Put him out of doubt in my Prognostication 1647. that Eclipses are not hurtful at all to those Regions or Cities where they are not visible yet lest the Testimony of that Learned Author therein mentioned should not be enough to convince him of his Folly I shall further recommend unto him the words of Cardanus upon Ptolomy lib. 2. cap. 5. Text 26. if he can Translate them any better than he hath done the first fifty Aphorisms of the Centiloquie they sound thus Ut igitur locus à deliquio affici debeat in Luna duo sunt necessaria Unum quod Luna tunc temporis in hemisphaerio superiore illius loci sit cum Provincia illa concordet signo vel trigono saltem Secundo cum Civitate in solis loco vel Lunae vel Ascendent is vel cum medio Coeli illius qui regit Civitatem ipsam In sole verò necessarium est praeter id quod fit supra terram conveniat locus ejus Provinciae-vel Civitati Eclipsis ipsa appareat Whereby it is clear that unless in a Lunar Eclipse the Moon be above the Earth and likewise on the Sign or at least in the Triplicity of that Sign whereunto unto the Kingdom in whose Hemisphere the Defect happeneth is subject And unless that the Sun or Moon-place or the Sign Ascending or Culminating be also the Horoscopical Sign of the City or Town you live in or enquire after the Effects of such a Lunar Eclipse shall not any way
marked by a different Letter he hath quite expunged whereby it is plain that this Aphorism hath but little force unless that Jupiter were in the fifteenth degree of Cancer which now he is not or that he received the disposition of the Fortunes which in this Revolution he doth not for Jupiter is in the 28 deg 25 min. of Cancer and within 3 degrees of Malevolent Mars whereby he is much afflicted and weakened And although he be in the Sign of his Exaltation yet he is there slow in motion Occidental of the Sun and Retrograde and Planeta Retrogradus nihil boni significat donec dirigatur A Retrograde Planet hath no signification of that which is good until he be direct It is true that within five days he begins to move slowly forward yet that brings him to a perfect Conjunction with Mars the 23 d. day of March and they will not be fully separated from each others Beams of a sudden by which Jupiter is very much debilitated And notwithstanding that Mars is in his Fall yet he is the strongest save one in the Figure so that I cannot perceive upon what ground in Astrology he should Prognosticate of Peace and Tranquility from the Position of Jupiter in the latter part of Cancer considering him so weak and unhappy by reason of his Conjunction with Mars c. and that he stays no longer in that Sign than the 15 of April Besides let him consider what Massahalach tells him Conjunctio Jovis Martis significat accidentia quae fiunt ex pluviis nivibus corruptionem aëris atque bellum Si autem vincit in eorum Conjunctione fortuna significat fortunam si malus malum Scito etiam quia quotiescunque juncta fuerit fortuna cum malo apparebit natura fortioris eorum c. The Conjunction of Jupiter and Mars hath signification of such Events as are caused of Rain and Snow It fore-tells corruption of the Air and War And if a Fortune predominate at the time of their Conjunction he signifieth that which is wholsome and good but if a Malevolent the contrary Understand also that so often as a Fortunate Planet shall be joyned with a Malevolent the natural Effects of that which is strongest shall appear Now if William Lilly could but have set a Figure rightly to the apparent time of this Conjunction of Jupiter and Mars which happens by the Rudolphine Tables upon the 23 d. day of March at seven a Clock and 14 min. P. M. in the Meridian of London and would but have taken the pains to collect the several Fortitudes and Debilities of each Planet at the time of their Meeting he might have found Mars much stronger than Jupiter and likewise elevated above him secundum Latitudinem he might also have observed the Conjunction to be in Scotland's Horoscopical Sign and near the Cusp of the 10 th House Saturn their Senators Significator unfortunately posited in the House of Death c. And the Moon His Majesties as being Lady of the tenth House and Dispositrix of the Conjunction in the fifth in a mutual Reception with Jupiter beholding Saturn with a Sextile Aspect and the Sign Cancer with a Trine and Venus yet in her Detriment and applying to the Quartile Aspect of Jupiter and Mars And the Sun the other Significator of His Majesty in his Exaltation c. with Mercury in the 6 th House from the Ascendant Which several Positions being deliberately considered and rightly applyed could have afforded him but small ground of pronouncing Peace and Tranquility Moreover Conjunctio Jovis Martis significat mortem divitis magnae famae idque eo fortius si fuerit in Signo fixo The Conjunction of Jupiter and Mars portends the Death of a Rich and Famous Man and so much the rather if it happen in a fixed Sign but Cancer is a moveable Sign and by so much the less fear there is of the Death of such a Person I raâ—her conceive that this Aphorism presages only thaâ— some such Person shall have his Honour and may be his Life questioned and be thereby in some peril of being deprived of both However you may perceive by what hath been said that William Lilly hath greatly deceived the Reader by this false Quotation out of Bonatus and that all things considered he had no cause or ground in Astrology to delude the World with a vain hope of Peace and Tranquility when nothing but Contention Warring and Bloodshed is threatned by the great dominion of Mars and the infortunate positure of Jupiter in the Revolution And if Lilly would learn when this shall happen Leopaldus will tell him Belli tempus est cum fuerit Mars in opposito vel Quartili aspectu Jovis vel Saturni When Mars shall be in an Opposite or Quartile Aspect of Jupiter or Saturn And when 's that Let but our Ephemeris-Master look in May 1647. and against the 22. day he shall find a hateful Square beâ—ween Saturn and Mars and in October following upon the 21 day will be a most terrible Opposition of Saturn and Mars which will be very dreadful and Ominous to many parts of England and Scotland and upon the 28 day of the same October is another Square betwixt Jupiter and Mars And no doubt but we shall hear of much Contention and Blood-shed about those times I have noted every of these Aspects before mentioned in my Kalendar for 1647. against the day of the Month whereon they happen to which I refer you Lilly In the interim lâ—t those whom it may concern and many are herein concerned receive from me this Astrological Cabal Judgment either in jest or in earnest as they please c. He or they King or Kings Prince or Princes Nobles Gentlemen or of any Quality soever shall endeavour the advance of a Foreign Army or State amongst us as it is certainly determined to Yoke us and destroy this present Parliament he or they shall never attain his or their desires shall pâ—rish in the Design shall never again make his or their Peace with this Kingdom of England I know we are threatned it must be so but woe to the Invader Invaders or procurers of our Invasion the Invaded shall prevail viz. the Parliament and Commonalty of England and although we shall be in danger of betraying yet shall we behold another Providence contradicting that Treachery even in the nick of time for this Kingdom of England is not ordained until the Worlds end to be any more Conquered we shall give but not receive Laws c.

thought upon that may ere long amaze the unjust Usurpers of his Royal Fathers Birth-right But no more of that this Year I will not trouble my self much longer with this Malicious Fellows Errors and Impertinencies nor with his scurrillous 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 gross 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 20 day of October 1647. at half an hour past 6 a Clock in the Morning Saturn being then in 0. deg 27 min. of Gemini the Ascendant 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 concern the South and West parts of England and that in a higher measure than the Conjunction before treated of doth the Kingdom of Ireland See the Scheme A Labente Anno. 1647 Octobr. 20 18 Hor 4 min 18 sec. Lost meridiem Latitud 51.32 And until the time of this Opposition do the Effects of the Conjunction vigorously extend themselves and then they have lasted 539 days which wants but 8 days of a Year and a half after which time the Effects of this Opposition shall begin and forcibly Operate until their next Conjunction which will happen again upon the 28 day of June 1648. in the 11 deg of Gemini which will be very ominous to some parts of England and especially the City of London For I cannot say the Effects of the Opposition shall cease when the Mathematical Circuit of their Conjunction finishes because that next Conjunction doth likewise happen in the Sign Gemini wherein Saturn is at the time of his Opposition to Mars which will not much differ in signification Although it be a received Truth that the Effects of the Opposition of these two Planets do commonly work more violently and quick Nam diametrae radiationes quemadmodum Tetragonismi mortes repentinas violentas mutationes faciunt congressus vero generalia accidentia And Haly the Arabian in his 8 Part Cap. 6. saith Quod Oppositio Saturni Martis est deterior eorum Conjunctione deteriores ac maligniores significationes demonstrant And indeed this is very Malicious in that they are both unhappily affected and afflicted Saturn being infortunate and Mars out of all his Essential Dignities and otherwise but meanly Fortified Haec oppositio significat quod homines in se invicem discordabunt prosequentur se mutuo odio cessabunt se familiariter invisere detrabet quilibet alteri Haly Part 8. Cap. 25. This Opposition signifieth that Men shall wrangle one with another and shall Prosecute themselves mutually with hatred And they shall forbear to visit one another familiarly And every one shall back-bite or speak evil of another It further praemonstrates great Pestilence and Mortality especially amongst Old Men Many Thefts and Robberies much deceitful dealing and that generally Men shall betray their Trust. That many unjust and unreasonable Taxes shall be imposed under several specious pretences to the undoing of many far worse than that of Ship-money I have taken the pains to set Booker the Scheme rightly for London and if he do not too much play the Fool or the Knave he needs must exceedingly terrifie the People subject to the Sign Gemini wherein Saturn 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 Moon 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 do strongly besiege him He is miserably afflicted by their hateful square and is also in his Detriment Look now to your selves you of the Presbyterian-Cut the People are weary of your extemporary non-sence You Judges Officers and Magistrates who have betrayed or forsaken your Master and perverted the Law to serve your own wills expect to render an account of your Actions I unfeignedly protest you are all strongly threatned From the Sun and Mercury expect your comfort or none They cast a Friendly Sextile to Jupiter and they are free from the Malevolents though in the most viperous Sign of the Zodiack The Sun here represents His Majesty of England as being both Lord of the 10. House and Natural Significator of Kings Mercury as he is with the Sun hath signification of the Masters of the Houses of 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 Queens Majesty a Traytor 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 senseless others wrangling away their Lives by strange and noisome Diseases some are threatned by Prodigious Births and those too of their own begetting And what not to render a People palpably accursed miserably and fully wretched Ireland now demands a reason for the Ordinance of the 24 of October 1644. And asks if you will 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 we all look back and say Lord what have we done and been a doing for 7 Years Some make Question whether they be awake or in a Dream All Men are at a stand yet still in Action The besotted Crew do quake and murmure say little but think mischievously Furórne coecus an rapit vis acrior An culpa Responsum date Tacent Et ora pallor albus inficit Mentesque perculsae stupent Doth fury blind or greater Power command Is Sin the cause Oh let me understand They silent are Their cheeks are paler made And fears their horror-strucken Minds invade But it is the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars upon the 28 of June 1648. before mentioned will be assuredly Fatal to London and many other places of England I pray God avert the Judgments thereby threatned and incline the Hearts of His Majesties Subjects that as they are or ought to be all Christians so to be of
concern that Kingdom or City But in a Solar Eclipse it is necessary besides that the Sun be above the Earth and that his place agree to the Kingdom or City that the Eclipse be also visible to the Kingdom or City or otherwise the Effects shall in no wise concern the one or the other Now the Solar Eclipse here by him mentioned is not visible at all to us for it appears in the Islands de S. Pedro Barbados de Don Alfonso de Praxaros and to such as Sail beyond the Equator and under the Tropick of Capricorn through the Persian Sea And indeed in 13 and 14 deg of North Latitude it will be a very great Eclipse but of what concernment is this to England or why should it put forward this Lunar Eclipse in January seeing it is neither visible to us for at London it happeneth at their 11 a Clock at Night and so the Luminaries are both under the Horizon nor yet is the degree Eclipsed in the Sign or Triplicity of that Sign whereunto either England or Scotland are thought to be subject which is required by Cardanus his Rule before the Effects can concern either Whereby it appears that this Non-apparent Solar Eclipse can no way help or harm us nor augment or put forward the Effects of the Lunar Eclipse and that William Lilly in thus preferring his own idle Fancy beyond the Experience and more solid Reasons and Rules of Campanella Cardanus and of all other Authors that ever I read or heard of hath very much abused the Reader and rendred himself a very Novice and fondling in Astrology As touching the Lunar Eclipse in January 1647. I have writ of it already in my Prognostication wherein you may see what the Effects of it are and those that desire further satisfaction may have recourse to Origanus pag. 460. upon Mercury's being Lord of an Eclipse as he is of this But although this Lunar Eclipse be visible and fall out in a Sign of the Fiery Triplicity and in that respect doth generally concern England Yet in regard it is so small viz. but 4 digits 47 min. 42 sec. its Effects will scarcely be felt or observed by any body For as Eclipses nihil nocent illis Regionibus in quibus non videntur So parvae Eclipses parum nocent in pauca operantur It is true as both Lilly in his Anglicus and I in my Prog. have in effect observed that in caeremoniis religione to which he adds in reditibus regiis ac legibus mutationes affert A likelyhood as he saith of some change or alteration in Church-Affairs in the Revenues of Kings or more properly in such matters as at present the Parliament make use of for maintenance of their Wars and Affairs and of altering or abolishing many Laws formerly in use All this I grant him and why may it not admit of thus much malignancy in the application thereof viz. That the Kingdom are weary of the Presbyterial Government and will not endure the smell of Elders for Gentlemen are commonly Scholars and do Naturally affect freedom in the Exercise of their Religion and scorn to be constrained to give an account of their Belief to Broom-men Coblers Taylors and Tinkers or to any such Illiterate Mechanick and Profane Fellows or to subject their Understandings to the sense and Interpretation of so unsanctified a Society and shall therefore wish for and must justly endeavour a change of Government in the Church So likewise may His Majesties Revenue so long detained from him be in a better possibility of regaining or in some part restored to him or at least great means used to perswade those that have Usurped the Possession and Profits thereof to resign and account And that many Ordinances Orders and Votes that have passed and been formerly enjoyn'd and observed as Laws must admit of alteration and abolishment But as I have formerly noted these things will not be done effectually this Year in regard of the smalness of the Defect so that we shall be scarce sensible of its Operation Yet without all doubt the Dragons Head in the tenth House in the intercepted Sign Cancer bodes very much good to His Majesty to be begun and wrought by the Scottish Nation who shall partake of that Influence And whereas Lilly adds that Celerem Regis Principis vel nobilissimi viri alicujus infirmitatem vel praeclari viri cujuspiam mortem adducit That this small Eclipse portends some sudden Infirmity or Casualty to a King Prince or Worthy Man perhaps some eminent and Famous Man's Death c. He had done well to have cited his Author or given his Reasons for what he says here for I cannot pick out any such signification from this Eclipse as Mercury is truly and really Lord thereof Nor as he hath made Mars and Saturn to be sharers with him Indeed Mars stirs up Wars Intestine Seditions Tumultuous Uproars the wrath of Princes and by that means some unexpected slaughter And Saturn premonstrates perturbation of the Humours Fluxes and Quartan Fevers Poverty and Banishment Dearth Penury c. But I find no such sudden Infirmity or Casualty to befall any King or Prince c. as he chatters of yet I 'le undertake for him that if Prince Griffith should but this Year fall asunder of the Pox the next Year after Lilly will tell you that this Prediction was verified in him Nor know I any Reason why Scotland should be at all concerned in it seeing the Eclipse happeneth in the Fiery Trigon and that the Ascendant of Scotland which is Cancer is of another viz. the Watry Triplicity nor at all Asspected by the Sign wherein the Eclipse happeneth nor afflicted by either of the Malevolents but rather Fortified by the presence of the Dragons Head in it as before I noted in the Mid-heaven and although the Eclipsed Body be Dispositrix of the Sign Cancer yet for the Reasons formerly given the Effects of the Eclipse cannot be at all discerned in Scotland or scarce in any part of England and therefore it is but a foolery in William Lilly to make such a fluttering and a noise about nothing But I am well pleased to hear him scatter that one truth if so it prove that the Scots will stand like Oaks unshaken to their first Principles c. It behoves some body else to remember their Covâ—nant c. And truly the Scots do owe William Lilly a great many thanks for his confiding Epithets But I fear I fear I shall hear him ere long lash out of his open Sepulchre as much and us vildly as ever he did against the King and the Cavaliers though now he Court them with the Titles of Prudent and Wise People I hope they will be Wise enough for those they are to deal with What he says against the Irish is not material The more the Fox is curs'd the better he thrives But I suspect Lilly to be one of those London Adventurers who were dividing the Bears Skin
