people within our own Territories seems to swell with inveterate conceptions acting and contriving desolation and ruine to the supream Authority of the Nation and many poysoned darts will also flye from the quiver of invective spirits wounding and piercing the honour of some worthy Patriots who formerly seemed as Oracles to the people free from corruption either in Office or bribery Oh a lusty purge for these diabolicall creatures who under the spetious pretences of restauration of liberty do endeavour the involving of us into endlesse misery But if the Commonalty begin now to be angry their blowes will fall exceeding heavie and wo be unto those who shall move them to wrath by dis-franchising them of their late purchased liberty and endeavour their involving once again in new commotions and troubles great ruine attends the Dane and all other who are interessed in his designe against the Inhabitants of this Common-wealth Distractions grow great in severall parts of the Nation through want of the Engine and smew of Warre but by the great vigilancy of our prudent Rulers their wants are supplied and their discontents most happily allayed and pacified Rich men look to your purses a purge is now preparing but indeed it will be a very favourable and pleasant one The close of this Moneth produceth great happinesse to the laborious husbandman his heavy taxes being much abated and their weighty burthens in a great measure removed Ireland cries out this Moneth for moneys and provision and many there are who endeavour the retarding thereof and withdraw their helping hand from the propagating of so great a work but let them all be anathematized who shall appear instrumentall therein to future generations and posterities Great commotions and distractions throughout all parts of the world attends the close of this Moneth But a wofull rising seems to threaten the Turk even from Constantinople the allarm shall be given which will eccho through most of his confines and territories insomuch that the industrious Venetian appears full of action and will free themselves from slavery in the Island of Candy firing and taking most of the Turkish Gallies which lye as Pirates and Robbers to massacre and enslave the Christians July 's Astrologicall Predictions THis Moneth produceth great action both by Sea and Land especially upon the Coast of Britain Scotland Sweden and Holland the English Mariners seems both stout and resolute triumphantly sailing with their slags of defiance and scorning to strike sail to the proudest enemy that flotes upon the Ocean Some desperate engagements happen between them and the French rovers little quarter given but revenge repaid for their former abuses to the poor English Merchants Sir George Askue the Summers darling and the undanted Generals Blake Dean and Popham in few days will cleer the English Channell and not so much as a French Rover or Irish Pyrate will dare appear on our Coast so that free trade and commerce will not in the least be hindered or retarded which makes the Merchant and the rest of the Manufacture-Adventurers to smile returning thanks and presenting gratuities for this great priviledge Some action in the Northern Climate both by Sea and Land for assuredly the Scot hath a great desire to be troublesom and once again to bee stript and whipt and sent to forraign plantations The seasonable temperature of the weather this Moneth invites the English Army in Ireland to great action a great blow threatens their enemy but not without some losse for by reason of some perfideous spirits he takes great advantage and seems very resolute and sturdy many conspirators hold jugling consultations and greatly 't is to be feared there will be some conspiracies in England yea among some whom the people have entrusted and prefer'd to great Office and dignity but like faithfull Patriots others of the Trustees and Keepers of our Liberties carry on the work designed by the omnipotent Jehovah for perpetuity his glory and our comforts Augusts Astrologicall Predictions MAny various reports are eccho'd up and down in severall parts of our Nation this Moneth as if the entrance of an Army amongst us were to be feared and that an in-road will be made by Jockey together with the Danes French and other forraigners Do not attempt our harm you of the Scottish Faith for sharp effects from the conjunction of Mars doth presage and threaten a dismall wo not only within the English territories or your confines but also all over Europe where ye shall reside Some great ones amongst us endeavour to foment new differences and to corrupt the souldiery but notwithstanding their severall temptations little will be effected and as to the government of the English affairs now on foot it seems not at a losse but in a good posture or condition though infinite and manifold treacherous plots are consulted of to destroy the frame of Government now extant its authority and Majesty and the Rulers of us thereby yea the whole Nation it self if possible the influence whereof produceth sad effects to the conspirators and if mercy be not shewed in the midst of Justice it s feared the bright Axe will be died of a skarlet hue The Presbyterian seems angry and much displeased with the present authority and many invective speeches will proceed from those who formerly shined like glorious Lights amongst us having performed wonderfull actions for the service of this Common-wealth but notwithstanding this their change and perverting of their purer judgements I heartily wish that the State of England may look upon their former merits and say as Solomon upon the failings of Abiathar Because you from the very beginnings of our troubles have suffered with us fought for us and now onely unfortunately have erred and receded from your former obedience be you forgiven of God we remit this your casuall trespasse Septembers Astrologicall Predictions SOme pestilent broyls or unparalell'd results give cause of fear to our Governours but a few dayes patience promises a comfortable composure Lift up your heads you English Cedars and faithfull Commoners be not sad the unchangeable decrees of Eternall providence have well provided for your ease although some discord and contention may for a time seem to discontent us by reason of some astonishment arising from the Citizens of London and great disputes happening between party and party but the sufferings of this Nation are almost quite over and I could wish the like in Ireland but it seems there is much to be done some money and mens lives to be spent but I hope all those who are lovers of Religion liberty and freedome will most willingly lend their helping hand for their relief and assistance Alas poor England cannot expect safety without a full conquest of Ireland which I positively affirm we shall subdue this year the severall positions of heaven promising us no lesse then victory and the Irish downfall But the sooner wee send men monies clothes and necessaries the more will be our glory and our brethrens comfort I
