The bloody Almanack To which ENGLAND is directed to fore-know what shall come to passe by that famous Astrologer M. JOHN BOOKER Being a perfect Abstract of the Prophecies proved out of Scripture By the noble NAPIER Lord of Marchistoun in Scotland The guide of Astrologers The Joy of England The destruction of the World LONDON Printed for Anthony Vincent and are to be sold in the Old-Baily 1643. The bloody Almanack I. Concerning the opening of the seven Seales mentioned Revel 6. JOHN mentions the opening of the seven seales Re● 6. the opening of every seal must continue the space of seven years and that because of removing and giving seven yeares to every seale you shall find the effect of every seale to be performed within the seven years of that seale and so the harmony to be perfect betwixt those seales and the just history This was opened when Christ was baptized and began to preach and open the sealed doctrine of our salvation which was in the end of the 29. yeare of the age of Christ and about the beginning of his thirtieth yeere as Luke testifieth 1. Betwixt the yeer of Christ 29. and 36. then Christ by his doctrine miracles death and victory over death so touched and moved the hearts of all the faithfull that suddenly he with his Disciples got the victory over all the world 2. Betwixt the yeer 36. and 43. within the space of these second seven yeers S. Stephen suffered martyrdome for Christs sake and Iames the brother of Iohn likewise was beheaded 3. Then in the third seale betwixt the 43. and 50. yeare of Christ there was a famine whereof Agabus prophecyed Acts 11. and Luke in his book of the Acts maketh mention In this dearth the bushell of wheat was sold for five times the accustomed price and the bushell of barley for three as testifieth Su●tonius and Dion 4 Then in the fourth seven yeers betwixt the yeers of Christ 50. and 57. certain heretikes arose as Corinthus Nicolaus and Ebion who held deadly heresies against the Divinity of Christ whereupon in the time of these fourth seven yeers Iohn wrote the fourth Evangel and published it beginning at the description of Christs Divinity expresly against those Hereticks 5 Then in the fifth seven yeers even the yeer of Christ 57. as the Text saith there was seen under the Altar the soules of them that were killed for the Word of God and for the testimony which they maintained even so in that very year arose the tyrant Nero on whose bloudy seat the bloud of the Saints cry up to the heavens to God to revenge their bloud 6 Then in the sixt seven yeers as the Text saith there was a great earthquake and the Sun was black as sack-cloth of haire and the Moon was like to blood and even so after the yeare of Christ 64 a great change and defection came on all estates of the Roman Empire for now Nero raised great pe●s●●●tions against the true spirituall Professors to have utterly darkned and extinguished the light of the Gospell so that the true Church of God was forced to lurk in secret for the revenge whereof God moved the Kingdomes of France Spain and Isle of Brittain to revolt from this Tyrant 7 Then in the seventh seven years which was betwixt the year of Christ 70. and 77. the text saith at the opening of this seal there was silence in heaven about half an hour even so at that time Gods Church had peace a little while II. Concerning the seven Trumpets mentioned Chap. 8. 9. I. THe last of the seven Seals and the first of the seven Trumpets begin both at once in An. 71. This appeareth evidently for even by the Text Chap. 8. the seventh sed being opened that very houre the seven Angels received their Trumpets to blow for having said in the first Verse And when he had opened the first seal there was silence in heaven about half an houre he subjoyneth immediately Ver. 2. And I saw the seven Angels c. receive their seven trumpets And farther after he had shewed verse 5. how Christ powred out the fiery co●les of his wrath in revenge of the blood of his Saints which doubtlesse was upon Ierusalem which shed it incontinent he subjoyneth verse 6. and 7. that then the seven Angels prepared themselves to blow and the first blew his Trumpet c. so therefore justly at this destruction of Ierusalem in Anno Christi 71. make we both the last Seal and the first Trumpet to begin Every Trumpet containeth the space of 245. yeares w●ich is the just space of 5. Jubilees and that this 71. yeare of Christ and consequently the first yeare of every the other Trumpet was Jubilee you may consider by the discourse of Iosep●●us Scal●g●rd● emend●●t temporum I doe conceive them to signifie the seven Ages that were then to come to the worlds end and I am the more confirmed to believe they do so for that I find in Histories that great mutations of Empires followed the end of these 245. yeares one after another as for example In the yeare of Christ 71. Ierusalem was destroyed by Titus and Vespasian this was the yeare that Iesus Christ procured the revenge of his blood and the blood of his Saint ●po● the ●ynagogue of the Iewes II. 245. yeares after which was in the year 316. Constantine the Emperour of Rome transported the Imperiall Seat from Rome to Constantinople and in Rome Pope Silvester began the Papistieall Kingdome and Italy was left as a prey to the Goths and Vandals who destroyed Rome and subdued all Italy III. 245 yeares after that is in Anno 561. or thereabouts Totita King of Goths b●●ned Rome and usurped the Dominion thereof IIII. 245. yeares after that is in Anno 806 Charlemaigne received the new ●●pire of Germanes and Romanes V. 45. years after that is An. 1051 Zedok began the Dominion of the Turks VI. 245. yeares after that is in the yeare 1246. Otoman began the first Empire of 〈◊〉 ●●oure Nations Mah●metans VII Lastly 245. yeares after that is in the yeare 1541. arose our true profession against the Kingdome of Antichrist so then for conclusion you see that every Trumpet or Viall endureth 245. yeares And this seventh Trumpet which we are now under is not to end till the yeare of Christ 1786. But I do not think that the World shall continue so long because it is said Matth. 24.22 that for the Elects sake the time shall be shortned It appeares to me that the day of Judgement shall be betwixt the yeare of Christ 1688. and 1700. Concerning the seaven Angels mentioned Rev. 14. IN the 14. of the Revelation there is mention made of seaven Angells Rev. 14. and every one of the first three thundring Angells as I may tell them containe a Jubilee and then the foure last all at once compleateth the day of Judgement by which it appeares to me that the day of Judgement shall fall about that time Now

to make it appeare that every one of the first three thundring Angels contain a Jubile after the custom of the Levites Prophets who divide great dates by Jubiles and small dates by weeks or years we judg apparantly this last Age to be divided by Iubiles and every thunder or Angel of these three that are said in the Text Ch. 14. v. 6 8 9. to pretend Gods great Harvest to containe a Jubilee which is 49. yeares and that the 4. last thundring Angels all at once compleateth the day of Judgement In the 14 chapter v. 14 16. it is said that the fourth thundring Angel which is Christ himselfe enters actually into this great harvest to gather up his Elect at the warning of the fifth Angell even Gods holy spirit ver 15. like as contrarily the sixth thundring Angel executor of Gods fierce wrath mentioned v. 17.19 is admonished and warned by the seventh Angel commander thereof to cut downe and tread out the Vines of the earth into the wine-presse of Gods wrath and so by these 4. last Angels or Thunders to wit by Christ himselfe and by his whole ministr●ng Angels under the figure of these last Angels all the whole great day of Gods harvest and l●tter Judgement is accomplished 1. The f●●st or the three first Angels Iubile begin The last of the 7. Seales and the first of the seven Trumpets began both at once in the yeare of Christ 71. so in like manner the last of the seven Trumpets and the first of the seven thunder begin both at once in the yeare of Christ 1541. In c. 11. v. 5. it is said that at the blast of the 7. Trumpet the Kingdome of the World becommeth Christs Kingdom that is then the Kingdom of Antichrist all other prophane Kingdoms shall fall and Christs Kingdome shall be spred and inlarged overall and this can no other way come to passe then by the preaching of the Evangel which was of new opened preached at the coming of the first Angell whom the text saith to have an everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell upon the earth which Angel as I said before is manifest to be the first of the seven thunders therfore it followeth consequently that the new restoring of the Evangel the seventh Trumpet and the first Thunder or thundring Angel come all at once in An. 1541. about which year God stirreth up openly his first Ministers and servants Luther Calvin Melancthon and others v. 6 7. to preach out during all this Jubile the perfect verity of the Gospel publikely which before was hid and obscured under the Antichristian reign so that the true Church lurketh no more but Gods truth to all the world is made apparant by these Ministers teaching them according to the Text to feare God onely and leaving all other superstitious worshipping to give glory onely unto him 2. The first of these 3. Iubiles if you reck●n you shall easily find that it ended in Ann. Christi 1590. And then came the second of the seven thundring Angels declaring even presently the horrible fall and decay to become of that figurative Babylon and great Antichristian City about which time to wit the end of the first Iubile and beginning of the second God hath shewed marvellous indices that the Empire of Rome and Papisticall Kingdome shall sho●●ly fall the Antichristian and Spanish Fleet is destroyed the late King of Fra●●e Duke of Guiz● and his Brother Papists and Committers of the Parisian Massacre all murthered ●y other a Protestant now made King of France this Iubile endeth in the yeare 1639. 3. After that comes the third Iubile or the third thundring and threatning Messenger openly and loudly threatning that if any be now that do worship o● reverence that Antichristian Empire or that receive the old superstitious marks thereof on their foreheads or on their hands the same shall drinke of Gods wrath so that in this third Jubile the Ministers and Messengers of God sh●ll God-willing have only the latter dregs of that Romish feat to admonish and threaten by open intimation that if any be in whose hearts the reverence of that ruined Empire or if any now be marked with Chrisme or Crosse on hand or head he shall be tormented eternally in the fire of Hell 4 5 6 7. Then adde to 1639. 49. yeares and the day of Judgement appeares to fall about 1688. plainly proved by Scripture IIII. Concerning the Symboll of the Sabboth FIrst as touching the Symboll of the Sabboth it is thought by the most learned that the six dayes of labour weekly observed doth meane and beare the Symboll of 6000. yeares that mankind shall endure the travells and cares of this world and that is confirmed by Peter who speaking of the day of Judgement noteth that a thousand yeares shall be as one day in Gods sight and a day as a thousand yeares and so consequently the sixe dayes of worke to represent six thousand yeares after the which six thousand yeares of worldly cares and travells then shall come our eternall Sabboth and rest in the glory of Heaven signified by the seaventh dayes rest for that truly there is no institution appointed by God to Moses which besides the civill commodity had not also a spirituall figure and sure it is that no figure agreeth more consonant with these sixe dayes of worke and seventh day of rest then the present miseries of this world and eternall Sabboth hereafter V. Concerning the Prophesie of Elias SEcondly agreeable to the former there is a sentence of the house of Elias reserved in all ages bearing these words the world shall stand six thousand yeares and then it shall be consumed with fire two thousand yeares void or without Law two thousand yeares under the Law and two thousand ye●●s shall be the dayes of the Messias and for our offences which shall be many a●d great shall these years lack which shall lack thus farre saith Elias Now the term of these 6000. years doth expire about the 2000. year of Christ which term both by the said saying of Elias and by Christs own saying in Matthew appeareth to be shortened VI. Concerning the Prophecie of Daniel BVt by Daniel we shall approach nearer that terme for in his 12. Chapter intreating both of the first resurrection which is the resurrection from the Antichristian errours and of the second resurrection which is the generall resurrection from the dead such an Angell as afterwards appeareth to Iohn Rev. 10. teaching him concerning the latter day doth here appear to Daniel swearing solemnly a term of Propheticall days doubled by the Prophet of which the greatest terme is expressed to be 1335. Propheticall days which ●re so many yeers whose beginnings are determined in these words and from the time that the daily sacrifice shall cease and the abomination put to deso●●tion or made desolate shal be 1290. dayes blessed is he that waiteth and abideth to the 1335. day as if he should say from that

time that both the Jewi●h daily sacrifice shall cease and the abominable rites of the Gentiles be abolished to the compleating of the great resurrection from the Antichristian errours and utter day of his Kingdome shal be 1290. years and then blessed shall he be that abideth and remaineth constant in the small time that shal be betwixt that and the latter day which shall fall in the 1335. year from the taking away of the said Jewish Ceremonies and Gentiles superstitions but so it is that these were neither actually taken away by Christs Passion neither in the destruction of Ierusalem nor otherwise till miraculously in the dayes of Iulian the Apostate Anno Christi 365. This Apostate having in despite of Christ ordained the Jews to build up and repair their Temple of Ierusalem on the one part and on the other part having sent his Legats to offer sacrifice in the chiefe Ethnick Temple of the Gentiles in Delphos and to consult with that oracl● of Apollo there GOD sent his thunder from above and earth-quake from beneath and thereby overwhelmed both those chief Temples about one tune so utterly that to this day all the Jewish d●ily sacrifice of the one and the abominable Ethnick superstitions of the other have ceased and p●t to utter confusion and desolation but if after the opinion of some learned men this Text doth mean in the Originall Hebrew not the abomination to be put in desolation but contrarily a desolating and wasting abomination to be set up together also with the taking away the former and foresaid daily sacrifice in this case appearing by the same date is not the lesse established for who was a more horrible and wasting abomination then was the aforesaid Iulian that bloud thirsty Apostate together with his detestable idolatrous magicall decrees which pu●likely he acted and set up to bring Christianisme to utter desolation so that howsoever this abomination be expounded either passively to be made desolate as the Gentiles chief abominable and idolatrous Oracle of Apollo at that time was made desolate or actively that the abomination should make a wasting or desolation and that that wasting abomination should be then erected as the abominable tyrant and Apostate Iulian was promoted Emperour and his cla●● decrees of persecution at that time set out even always in that very same year 365. all the foresaid accidents occurred for in that one yeer both first the foundations of the J●shish Temple of daily sacrifice as secondly in the passive sence the said Temple of the Ethnicks abominations in Delphos were by thunder and earthquake both destroyed as thirdly in the active sence that ●b●minable Julian and his Decrees for desolating and devouring Gods serv●nt were then set up Therefore from this yeare of Christ 365. we are commanded to reckon 1335. yeares which falls in Anno 1700. And then saith Daniel V. 6. shall be tre end of all wonders even the wondrous and great day of the Lord but yet as this prop●esie doth abridge the aforesaid prophesie of Elias VII Concerning Christs owne saying ANd Christs foresaid saying in Matthew that came after this Prophesie doth apparently abridge somwhat of this time therefore as men said before every thundring Angell of three containec 49. yeers and then comes that groat day of the Lord and we proved that the first thundring Angel began in Anno 1641. to which add thrice 49. years which is 147. years and so by that account the latter day will fall in Anno 1687. wherefore appe●ringly betwixt this 1688. according to the Revelation and the 1700. yeer according to Daniel the said latter day should fall and for further confirmation thereof there is a number put in the end of the 14. Chapter of the Revelation which appeares to be a date of the latter day for that Chapter altogether speaks of the Lords great harvest and latter judgment there saith Iohn the blood came out of the wine-presse unto the horse bridles by the space of 1600 stades or cours●s as if app●aringly he would mean metaphorically as wine may be thought to flow from the Presse or the bloud of slain men in a field to as●en● to the horse bridles so eternally shall the torment of the wicked ascend after 1600. years be accomplished for their stades agree well to mean years seeing a stade is that Race or course that one is thought to run with one breath before he begin to renew his breath againe as one yeare is that race or course that the Sunne maketh in a circuit before he begin to renew his circuit againe now counting therefore 1600. yeares f●om the time that this was written which was about the 97. yeare of Christ as Eusebius in his Chronicke saith or in the end of the reigne of Domitian as Fremeus saith which was in the yeare 199. the end of the account shall fall about the yeare of Christ 1697. or the yeere 1699. which is betwizt the said terme 1688. and 1700. and so the difference of these dates are but small and if the time of Histories were surely written and observed it may be thought that the di●●erence would be either lesse or utterly nothing at all FINIS
