A52819	A strange and wonderful trinity, or, A triplicity of stupendious prodigies consisting of a wonderful eclipse, as well as of a wonderful comet, and of a wonderful conjunction, now in its second return, seeing all these three prodigious wonders do joyntly portend wonderful events, all meeting together in a strange harmonious triangle : and all are the three royal heralds, successively sent from the King of Heaven, to sound succeeding alarms, for awakening a slumbering world : beware the third time ...

Saturn and Jupiter in Leo till we come to 1682. therefore may we more probably conjecture that this 7th Conjunction present in Leo hath some secret Mystery of Sabbatism in it and promiseth something in its signature of more singular Moment to this World than any of its Antecedents 4 Astronomers do grant that when the 2 superior Planets do pass out of the watery Trigon and have their Meeting in the Fiery be it in Leo Sagittary or Aries in which soever their Conjunction is 't is a great Conjunction and portends great Mutations not only because these 2 Interchanged Triplicitys are contrary as Fire and Water but also their Abode in one Trigon is about 200 y. And if usually 7. y. the Term of Mans Life in Law bring Changes what may 20. y. their least Conjunction and about 3 Mens Lives do much more may 200. Y. the Time of their Mean but most of all the 800. Y. which is their Climacterical Meeting New Empires c. may well arise in that Time 5 Spineus Physitian to the Duke of Padna who wrote Catastrophe Mundi 1625. y. and Engl. shed by Squire Ashmole saith pag. 24. that of all the 3 Signs in the fiery Trigon Aries is the weakest then must it follow that Leo is stronger And at this Time especially considering 6 This present Conjunction in Leo comes Notably corroborated in 3. Respects 1 it is attended with 2 frightful Comets the first esp the like whereof hath not been this 800. y. as seal'd up in its significancy with a double Signet or Seal Royal. Alsted c. affirm that such Con junctions so seal'd are most significant 2 their Conjunction is near Cor Leonis a Royal and Couragions creature whose Heart is the Seat of his Courage which must add to its significancy seeing those 2 greatest Planets go into this Regal sign and so near the Heart of it entring there as it were into a deep Consult and there confronting the Sun 3 That Mars should meet first Jupiter upon the 7th of this last September and Saturn upon the 12th to strengthen them both with his conjoined Rays as both pass'd along in Tendency towards this their Great Conjunction all these Meetings are in the same Sign of Leo though now Mars be going off from candâ Leonis as dropping down from off the Lions Tail into the Sign Virgo wishing them as it were an Happy Meeting which no doubt will be so according to Rules of Art for Jupiter having the higher Elevation and being above Saturn as yet must correct Saturns Malignity Halys comment on Ptolomy 63. Aphorism beside both Jupiter and Saturn are oriental and so is Mars which is a Situation judg'd the least obnoxious Saturn say Artists makes Plots but Jupiter above him spoils them both the Two and Mars are occidental to the Sun and therefore saith Almansor propos 30. They must give good at the latter End though the way to that End may be rough and rugged enough esp to the Northern Regions they being all so nigh to the Tropick of Cancer their Diurnal Ark or March in our Horizon pouring down their Influences for about 15 Hours and both Saturn and Mars being what Star soever they are joined with so mischievous to Mankind What their 2d Conjunction on January 30 in the Y. 83 and their 3d Conjunction again upon May the 2d in the same next Year 83. all Three in Leo though in 2 distinct Years immediatly succeeding each other and all 3 in the Compass of 8 Months which is far short of the distance of 20. years for this great Conjunction consists of all these 3 Meetings that a 3 fold Cord may not easily be broken Whereas as is abovesaid their least Conjunction hath the Interspace of 20 years may conduce hereunto time will best declare for Truth is the Daughter of Time Considering also that the Sun will lose its light so soon after this first Conjunction October the 9 82 so little before their second in January 30. in 83 for in the same Year and Month upon the 17th Day of January in the Y. 83. that great Luminary will be Ecclipsed and 9 Digits darkened in Aquarius about 3 a clock in the Afternoon much more might be added here but sat verbum sapienti c. I have duly and daily observ'd the Motion of these 2 great Planets every clear Morning since they came nigh each other and do wonder that they should be so swift in their Motion Saturn running 2 Millions 376 Thousand 261 Miles in an Hour and 3964 Miles in one Minute and Jupiter running 898 Thousand 700 Miles in one Hour and 14 Thousand 9 Hundred 78 Miles in one Minute yet are so slow in their Meeting For I find Saturn requires 12 Days in his Diurnal motion to go this one single Degree in Leo and Jupiter requires 7 days for the same before they can come through the 18th Degree of Leo to conjoin in the 19th distant only 2 Minutes whereof there be 60 in every Degree on the 9th of 8 ber 82 then on the 10th Day Saturn marches off 6 Minutes and Jupiter 8 from their so near Application It must be considered also that the proper Motion of these 2 Planets as of all the other 5. is from West to East upon the Pole of the Zodiack though the primum mobile or upper Heaven hurry them upon the Northern Southern Poles from East to West as plainly appeareth in the Motion of the Moon one of the Planets which at her Change in setting West every Night falls backward and backward towards the East till at her Full she Riseth in the East in about 15. Days 2ly Theological that it may 1 appear This Discourse is not Chaldaization or the folly of the Chaldees so much condemned in Scripture for Astronomy and Astrology must not be confounded as too generally they are That the Stars have a 3 fold Excellency light Motion and Influence is granted by all that are Judiciously Learned All the Controversy is about the last Concerning their Influence there be 3 Opinions 1 in excess 2 in Defect and the 3 in the middle between both The 2 former extremes are offensive but the 3d is inoffensive 1 Those in the Excess were the Chaldeans Arabians Egyptians Stoicks and many Jews yea and Gentiles too both Heathen and Christian who Account the Heavens to be a Book wherein the Fates of All are written and who make their Schemes and Horoscopes from thence as Creditable as the Gospel 2 Those in the Defect are such as Censure all sorts of Astronomical prognosticks for Tables and Fooleries To say Heavenly bodies do produce no effects by their powerful Influence is to Deny both Scripture and Experience They both offend in Contrary Extremes in saying that the Stars either do all things or that they do nothing therefore 3 The middle way betwixt these two Extremes must be most Approved In Medio tutissimus Ibis Ecclipses may certainly and changes of Times
