An AWAKENING WARNING TO THE VVofull VVorld By a Voyce in three Nations Uttered in a brief DISSERTATION Concerning that Fatal and to be admired Conjunction of all the Planets in one and the same Sign ♐ Sagitarius the last of the fiery T●●plicity to come to pass the 1 11 day of December Anno 1662. IN WHICH It is clearly evinced as well by S. Scriptures as by the Nature of the Conjunction it self and other Antecedents Concomitants and Circumstances that the Glorious Coming of JESUS CHRIST is at hand WHEREBY 1. He will recollect the Dispersed Nation of the Jevvs 2. Abolish the man of Sin who hitherto hath obtained the Principality as well in the Church as in the world And 3. At length erect his Glorious Kingdom on Earth Autore PETRO SERARIO Amster●dam MDCLXII To the READER IF any trust to Heav'ns or lights presage Some truth lift up your hearts thou present age If to beleeve what earth gives to the eye Or to the hand to feel there 's reason why Beleeve O mortals this 〈◊〉 time declines And Starres to their Maker their Pow'r● resign O that to th' world ah which we too much trust Wee 'ld say pack hence give place to God all must Lo this world rues and so doth Babe● fall And whosoever stands for Babel shall He only shall escape destruction That 's firmly joyn'd to Christ in union Choose which thou'lst rather have the last hour runs Which past no scap nor choice to mortall sons The day invades wisht for in ev'ry age When God alone shall Rule this earthly Stage And with him Saints to whom the promise w●● To be the Heirs thereof shall come to pass The Sign of Sagitarius The Situation of the Planets at Noon 〈◊〉 day of December is thus According to their Latitude all decline from the Ecliptick towards the North only Mars is found in the Southern Climate According to their Longitude thus they are dispersed according to the Degrees and Minutes of Sagitarius ♃ 0 9. ♐ ♀ 4 59. ♐ ♄ 9 25. ♐ ☿ 10 55. ♐ ☉ 19 46. ♐ ♂ 25 44. ♐ ☽ 27 54. ♐ Well-affected Reader THere lately came forth at Groning a little Book in heir Native Language concerning this Matter Entituled WAT NIEWS and WAT WONDELIKS c. not only setting before our eye● the true History of this Conjunction and the Description of the Celestial Theatre in which this Representation should ●e●acted together with the Properties and Operations of the Planets the Actors in this Scene but also subjoyning a very serious and most pious Exhortation by which the Author would have us admonished that we heed these things and convert in Sackcloath and Ashes that we perish not by the invading Judgments which of necessi●y come un●voidably upon the earth but that we may be graciously preserved After this Book by and by succeeded another in the German Tongue brought out of Germany unto us bearing the name of a FORERUNNER * Orig. Prod●omus because in it was this Concurse of all the Planets in the same Sign as some eminent and notable M●ssenger and Significator of the things which shall follow that great Conjunction which shall be in the Year 1663 next ensuing Which Forerunner indeed doth excellently harmonise with the for●●er Book and doth alike seriously and piously monish concerning many things es●ecially of the Times of the Gentiles now expiring ☜ of the Approach of the Conversion and Restitution of the Jews and doubtless of the imminent end of this world But because I perceived that among other Obst●cles which bolt the door against these so saving monitions and the truth therein contained whereby they are less entertained by men of the present Generation this is not the meanest that there is such small Attention lent to the Celestial Signes and so little * Orig. Fides Credit given as if what things are in the He●vens are so above us as if they nothing appertained to us Touching the Sun indeed all confess it procreates to us Day and Night Summer and Winter fruitfulness and barrenness And as to the Moon none will deny that it exerciseth some dominion on earth not only on the flowing and reflowing of the Sea but also on the Humors and Complexions of men insomuch that it cannot be denied much to be our concern how these Lights are in Heaven placed and affected whether conjunct or separate whether farther distant each from o●her o● mutually near approiching whether the Moon makes towards the Sun or recedes from it Moreover who knows not how much it concernes in what place of Heaven and in what Sign and with what Associates she enters into the Bride-chamber of her Husband and what Prognosticks the skilful in Astrology are wont from hence to infer and predict But as what appertaines ●o other Planets and Luminaries of Heaven v.g. ♄ Saturn ♃ J●p●re ♂ Mars ♀ ●enus and ☿ Mercury what Operations they have is little regarded whether t●e●●e conjoyned or disjunct far distant from or near to each other whether their beams confluentially radiate or not whether they be opposite or collateral whether many or few convene in the same House in this or that Sign of the Zodiack men pass not as all one to the● Whereb● it comes to pass that whatsoever sign the most benigne Go●vouchsafeth to hold forth in heaven for the commination and monition of M●nkind is totally made useless and becomes v●in HENCE is it that I thought I should do a work worth my labour for the Glory of God and the Good of my Neighbours if I shall as well out of Scripture as from the na●ure of the thing and the circumst●nces thereof demonstrate ●●ese two things 1. That such sorts of Signes do without all doubt portend and foretel some grand and singu●ar thing 2. What that is which they portend and foretel If perhaps by the favour of God so●e from hence may be induced to embrace these faithful praemonitions with greater readiness of mind As for the S. Scriptures Gen. 1.14 In the first Book of Moses where is extant the ●en●ion of he Creation of he Sun Moon and other Stars of He●ven i● is delivered that these were there placed to that end That they might divide the Day from the Night and be for Signes and Seasons and Dayes and Yeares To wit that the intention of God when he was about to create these Lights was this that they should signifie and fo●eshew something on earth which God had before created viz. Not only that they should point out the times of Spring Summer Autumn and Winter and the seasons of Seed-time and H●rvest of planting and pulling up c. abbreviations lengthenings or equalizings of daies with the Annual Feasts Daies Weeks and Moneths but especially that they might be for signs of those things which must be acted on earth and what there in succession of time as well in the Government of the Church as of the world should
