1691. ASTROLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS AND Predictions For the Year of Our LORD 1691. Wherein also Is Briefely Shewn the Signification of the Earthquake that Hapned in March last in the City of Bristol And wherein also Are Briefely Shewn the Significations of the Three Oppositions of Saturn and Jupiter that will Happen in the 1692. and 1693. And of the ECLIPSES of this present YEAR LIKEWISE Monthly Observations for every Month throughout this present Year Briefely Containing the most Remarkable Events and Accidents that are likely to Happen in divers Places of the World By JOHN SILVESTER Licensed to be Printed June 28. 1690. J. F. LONDON Printed for the Author 1690. Of the Earthquake that Happened in the City of Bristol and other Adjacent Towns and Places on Shrove-Tuesday last being the 4th day of March Anno Domini 1689. about a quarter of an Hour before one of the Clock in the Morning it being very Calm and without Rain before and after I Being not Awake my self at the Time of this strange Accident made several Enquiries about it but the best Information I could have of it was this That it first began with a loud and terrible Noise like the Bownce of a Barrel of Gunpowder when a House is blown up therewith and immediately the Bedstead and other things in the Room were shaken and as it were trembled which so continued by Guess about four or five Minutes and at length there was heard two small Noises like two Steps of a Man there being some small distance of time between and immediately it seemed to go out at the top of the House with another Bownce but not so great as the first This Person then Sitting on the Bed side being terribly Affrighted fell into a Swooning Fit Moreover by Others I was informed that it made the Chamber Door and Latch to shake and make a Noise and the Glass-windows to Shake and Rattle as if they would have been broken to pieces and made the Bodies of some that were Sitting to Rock and some that were standing to Reel to and fro they all wondring what was the Matter And because Report Rendred this Accident somewhat wonderful I could not but Enter into some serious Meditations about it which induced Me to make an Observation for the time of the Event which followeth Sagittarius the House of Religious Jupiter Ascends Mars lord of the 12th and Dispositor of Saturn is in Opposition to the Ascendant from Gemini the Ascendant of London And besides the Monn is Hastening to an Opposition of Saturn Posited in the 12th This according to my Opinion Signifies That some secret Mischievous Action or more plainly a Plot will too soon Manifest it self against some Religious Sort of Common People But whereas Jupiter Lord of the Ascendant is strong and Joyned with Venus Lady of the 10th the evil Design will not prosper but will End to the Joy and Comfort both of King and People Saturn's a Plotter Mars doth Him dispose Threatning th' Ascendant with great ireful Woes London beware of Plots and Mischiefs now Lest sudden Sorrows come thou Knowsst not how Watch wary the just time thou dost not Know. And besides the Opinion of the Ancient Astrologers was that all Earthquakes denote Warres or such kind of Troubles to the Places chiefely where the Event Happens so that by this Rule howevtr it should Happen in England but whether ever any such evil Design may have its Rise in the City of Bristol or not I leave it to some Wiser Head to Expound Those Glorious Celestial Bodies the Planets and Starres that so Miraculously and Continually perform their Circular Motions according to the unchangeable Decree and Will of the most Wise and Omniscient Creator do seem to shew forth to fallen Man a certain kind of Predestination of Events in the Will of the Almighty For the Minds of Men and People do naturally follow their Motions and mutual Concord and Discord amongst themselves as the Needle doth the Motion of a Loadstone though this Mystery be unknown to the greatest part of Men as by our daily Experiences we perceive and find for by some Aspects they secretly draw the Minds of Men and People to Love and Unity And by some Aspects contrariwise they stir up Mens Minds to Enmity and Discord And sometimes they Elevate the Lofty Mind unto greater pride Men wanting the most pure Divine Power for Preservation And sometimes they secretly operate and deject the Lofty Mind into a more humble state and at such a time they often induce it to Consider how vain all worldly pomp is by Reason of the Mortality of the Body so that at some time or times in every Mans Life there seems to drop down from Heaven a Refining Influence more then ordinarily powerful whereby the Refining Spirit of Judgement in Man or Men is as it were Awakened wakened to Reprove their Lofty Minds for their evil Deeds so that God hath not limited Himself to work only by his Spirit within but doth also freely Operate by those Heavenly Bodies without which being admirably Glorious as well in times past as in our dayes caused David thus to proclaim The Heavens declare the Glory of God and the Firmament sheweth his Handy Werk Psal 19. v. 1. The most Glorious Lamp of Heaven the Sun Enters into the First Minute of the Equinoctial Sign Aries on March the 9th 19 h. 32.1 P. M. At which time the 18th Degree of the Irish Sign Taurus Ascends and Venus Lady of the Ascendant is near unto Mars the Dispositor of Jupiter in the Eleventh yet slowly separates from him as if some Discords would yet be Continued in Councils especially in Ireland about some Religious Ceremonies which will but Vex the Commonalty and as if there were yet a people in Ireland that are somewhat for Warre though they sometimes desire Peace being somewhat loth to Fight to shed Blood Saturn lord of the 9th 10th and 11th Houses in the 7th doth not only shew a secret disunity of the Commonalty and Superiours but also being Retrograde towards the Cusp of the 7th doth foreshew some kind of secret Plottings and Mischievous Contrivances in Ireland tending to the discomfort of that Land But in May this present Year Jupiter comes into Taurus the Ascendant of Ireland and about that time Peace will begin to mitigate the furiousness of Men yet I fear the turbulency of Ireland will not be quite over till about the time when Saturn leaves the Sign Scorpio which will not be till towards the latter End of October this present year and then he enters into Sagittarius the Sign opposite to Gemini the Ascendant of London and then I fear some envious dissatisfied Spirits there will begin to plot and contrive how to bring to pass some Mischievous Design to make Disturbances and Alteration of Lawes or Religious Orders And besides the Warring Planet Mars enters into Gemini the Ascendant of London on the 5th day of August and will quarter there
