scape dearth warrs and plague in eighty three And also in eighty four But in the world there are many unbelieving people and ignorant enemies of Astrological Predictions that think I have too much affrighted the nation by my judgment in my other little book and perhaps may think I have done the like now and so will not believe that God hath given such power to Stars Planets Comets or any Heavenly bodies to cause those effects on earth but rather through their ignorance think that God usualy causeth most effects without them but let them consider the Moon and how God is pleased to tumble about the waters thereby and not without the Moon and let them consider the Sun and how God thereby causeth the earth and trees to bring forth there increase and fruit thereof and not without the Sun and as it hath pleased God to set the two great lights of Heaven in offices very manifest to the world in like manner he was pleased to give all the other Planets and lesser Lights of Heaven offices and power when the first treated them according to their natures to effect his will and purpose on Earth Moreover God that made all things can at his pleasure make use of all other his creatures so that he will not be confined to work only by the Starres or only secretly and internally by his spirit but what other wayes he pleaseth so that the Maker of all works in and by all and is therefore God over all and is worthy of all praise honour and worship from all Therefore it is no dishonour to God to say he causeth effects on Earth by Stars above but they rather rob their Maker of his Glory that contend against this Sublime and Heavenly Science as if it were unlawfull for us to lift up our eyes to the Heavens that declare the Glory of God and to the Firmament wherein are fixed so many glittering and glorius Ornaments that sheweth his handy work But there are ●iversities of natural gifts And therefore to one it is given to know those things above another ●nd further to convince those unbelievers of the truth and certainty of the Influences of all Celestial bodies let them look back to the year 1664 wherein there appeared a Comet and to the year 1663 where there happened a great Conjunction of Saturne and Jupiter in the fiery sign Sagittarius and to the year 1659 when the fourteenth revolution of the great Orb since the Creation was perfected I say let them look back and consider if since those yeares there have not happened very remarkable Terrestrial Changes and wonderfull Events according to the rules of and conseqently promotive to the rare and highly to be esteemed Science of Astrology The Loadstone's secret vertue can command And strangely turn the Needle to each hand So ev'ry creature that hath life and sense Is govern'd by the starry influence Of the Three Conjunctions of Saturn and Jupiter in the fiery sign Leo now near at hand whereof one will happen on the 9th day of October 1682. and one on the 30th of January following the last on the 2d day of May following It is both rare and wonderfull that those Two superiour Planets should be no lesse than three times conjoyned in somewhat lesse than seven Months in the fiery sign Leo there having been but only one Conjunction there above these 700 yeares And therefore those Three Conjunctions proclaim a threefold woe to the Inhabitants of the Earth though many may not believe it but cheifly to the Countrys Cityes Townes Villages and Persons under the sign Leo Therefore wo wo and a third wo to Italy Sicily Bohemia and some part of Turky to the City of Damascus and chiefly to the City of Rome the fountain of Popery follie and wickednesse for those Conjunctions that happen in the fiery ●rigon do chiefly respect Men Matters and Places of the highest account the Pope Popery and Rome have too long been so that I conclude this Triple or Threefold Conjunction in Leo the ascendant of Rome and all Italy will in a few yeares either strike of his Triple Crown or give him three terrible strokes whereby he will loose the greatest part of his Honour Power and Majesty on earth for the strokes will be the more dreadfull because of the Two other Conjunctions viz. of Jupiter and Mars and Saturn and Mars in the same sign Leo near the degree of the first Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter Jupiter is too vertuous a Planet to own the Pope or his Orders but it being more natural to him to own good Christians he hath assigned the Pope up to Saturn the Author of Plots and mischief and Saturn being weaker than Jupiter in the conflict for they 'l have a Combat when they are in Conjunction because of the contrariety of their natures Saturn being cold and dry and the greatest infortune and Jupiter being hot and moist and the greatest fortne therefore the Pope and his Orders in a few years must needs have a great Downfal for Jupiter is not only stronger than Saturn but is resolved to fight with his adversary three times in somewhat lesse than seaven Months with the undaunted courage of a Lyon Oh Rome thy abominations have been Great and thy Great sinnes remaihst which thy Great head the Pope hath to the Great dishonour ofned Great God undertook to pardon But now the Great year is at hand and thy Great sorrowes are approaching and thy foundation will Greatly be shaken because it is not the Rock of Ages the sure foundation Great Judgments are preparing for thee Never yet I suppose received thou such terrible strokes Since thou wast first called Rome as those in few years are like to be Quamobrem gaudeamus maxime laetemur God hath not made Celestial works in vain But in them pow'r and vertue great remain They cause effects on earth by them we know That God is working changes here below Of the Lord of the year Saturn laies claim to be Lord of the year because he hath the greatest Dignities in the Hylegiacal places of the three Vernal figures and he and the Moon are both in the Lyon in an Angle of strife the house of war and his Lord is with the body of Mars partly through which and partly through the great Dignities that Mars hath in the Hylegiacal places of the Vernal figure we may joyn him as a Copartner with Saturn the Angles being also more fixt than Moveable that strong stedfast and not much whiffling will the resolutions of many discontented Martial minded persons be to carry on weighty but wicked designes that this is likely enough to be a year of evil conspiracies and of great disunity and rather of Martial activity than of dronishnesse and the better to satisfy all friendly Readers I referre them to my Monthly Observations following Monthly Observations breifly containing the most remarkable events and accidents that are likely to happen in every particular

Month this present year 1682.

Next Month I deem will shew's the reason why Five Planets now consult in Gemini They parle and with great fury are possest And if some past debate's yet in the breast Iune's Observations I Confesse the two fortunes are now both in Cancer which may well be supposed to be a good preservative to Scotland and Holland but about the beginning and latter end great variances in many places may be feared I doubt the latter end of this moneth or some part of the next will prove a season of some evill activity that some Plot and treacherous disign may very secretly and politickly be carried on in the City of London against the Rulers and Supream Power of the Nation let the places under Gemini and Leo chiefly beware of all evill events Let none be offended at my good counsell forewarned half armed many theeveries and robberies happen this moneth and dangerous sicknesses seiz on the bodies of people raine about the 12 or 13 day and about the 26 or 27 day a probabilty of thunder about the 8 and 23 day Great secrets are in heav'nly sheets enroll'd And I the secrets of the heav'ns unfold Those heav'nly words of Starry letters made I now Translate that every one may read Iuly 's Observations MIschieveous intents possesse the hearts of many great envy reignes and rules with great subitlty policy and secrey in the hearts of some pretended subjects whose aimes are to effect their evil designs against the Powers and Rulers which they ought to be submissive unto very great variances amongst high and low great wrath and fury and great disturbances in many places especially in those Countries Cities and Places under the signes Gemini Sagittarius Leo and Aquarius Let London beware of some Plot Holland and Scotland are some what disquieted I doe not possitively couclude that this great wrath will produce warrs or battles this moneth though it may be feared yet I rather believe the matter is not yet ripe enough but however the ripening time is at hand and the next year
