seeing that this Empire from such small beginning hath risen to such vast Territories it will be necessary that we should consider the continual Increase thereof and also to enquire from what Constellations they have had their several Mutations and that the young Artist may not be left in the dark I have directed all the five Helogiacal places of this Figure that preceded the Rise of this Family to the year of our Lord 1720 and in order to the better Enquiry I have traced all the material Accidents that have attended this Family to the year 1640 out of the Turkish History which I hope will give great satisfaction to the young Artist as well as it hath done to me Anno Dom.

C. of that Monarchs Nativity being by direction come to the Opposition of the Sun Lord of his eighth House the Opposition falls in the twelfth this cannot but bring along with it a great deal of Evil he looses all his Reputation on a sudden the undoing of his Family it bids him beware of being taken Prisoner this year by the Turk which if he be it will be a long Captivity he will be out of Esteem among his Subjects his Allies will prove unfaithful to him which will be one chief Cause of his Ruine the Ascendant of his Nativity is also come to the body of Saturn this will load his Body with Sickness and also his Mind with trouble he shall grow very discontented because he sees all things go against him he thrives in nothing that he takes in hand and all those Princes that do joyn in Forces with him against the now Emperour of the Turks will find to their Cost what it is to joyn with such an unfortunate Prince as he is like to be for some years if not so long as he doth live his Ascendant being also at the same time directed to the body of the Moon portends great danger to his Person by Water and it
will find Saturn to be Lord of the 9th and Jupiter Lord of the 10th both of them in a very dejected condition Saturn doth represent all Matters of Religion and by reason of Mercury being Lord of the 12th and 4th is exact Opposition to Saturn also he being in Conjunction of the Comet This according to Art should shew great trouble and Vexation to all those that retain Principles contrary to those Established by Authority they will have great Losses as to their Moveables for which many of them will fly from one place to another in hopes to better themselves and forasmuch as Mars being Lord of the 11th House and being placed in the fourth in Opposition to the Moon Lady of the Ascendant Now the Ascendant according to all Astrologers doth represent the common People the 10th House all Magistrates the 2d the Moveables of the Common People the 11th the Assistance of the Magistrates the 9th all Matter relating to both Law and Religion of the Common People From these Considerations may be drawn a Judgment Astrological first you will find both the Comet and Mercury in Opposition to the Ascendant and Saturn Lord of the 9th Saturn disposing of both Sol Mercury Venus and the Comet both Saturn and Jupiter and very weak What these may signifie according to Art I leave the Artist to consider it will also be necessary for the young Artist to set a Figure for the time that the Comet is first seen after it enters a Sign By which means there may be a discovery made what the signification of a Comet should be and what Nation of the World should be most passive as to its Effects when this Comet first entred Aquarius you will find Cancer Ascendant and Saturn in the Ascendant and Mercury in Opposition to him Mars in Opposition to the tenth the Dragons-head in the 10th also Venus in Opposition to the 2d House and Jupiter Lord of the 10th in Gemini Retrograde when the Comet entred Piscis you will find Cancer also ascend and Saturn in the 12th the Moon in Opposition to Venus near the Cusp of the 8th the Opposition of Mars Lord of the 10th and to the Square of Jupiter Lord of the 9th These are notable Configurations and will have as notable Events to follow them were it lawful for any Artist to write them but he that is but meanly versed in Astrology may know the signification of these Configurations Now the Places that will be most concerned you may find in my Catastrophe Mundi When the Comet came to appear first in Aries you will find Leo to ascend and Saturn Lord of both 6th 7th and 8th in the 12th in Opposition to the Sun Lord of the Ascendant and Taurus is in Square to the Comet and the Comet is near the Cusp of the 10th and is hasting with all speed to the Square of Saturn and any one that will be but pleased to set a Figure for the time which was January 3d. at 45 Minutes after Sun-set he will find which way tho Comets will bend their Effects most and if you set a Figure for the time the Comet was first seen in Taurus you will find the Comet upon the Cusp of the 10th House and the Moon Lady of the 12th in Conjunction of the Comet and the Sun Lord of the Ascendant is not far from a Square of the Comet also From these Considerations may the young Artist be able to give a Judgment of this that appeared in the year 1680. Now we will come to consider the Configuration of the Planets at the first Appearance of the Comet in Leo 1682 August the 16th And if we set a Figure for an hour after Sun set you will find Aries to Ascend and Saturn Lord of the 10th 11th and 12th is in the 6th in the same Sign Now had this Comet had but small Latitude it would have been set but by reason of its great Latitude it was near the Cusp of the 8th Now at the time of these Comets Appearance in Leo we find Mars to be in the very beginning of Leo also and the Sun and Moon have lately been in Square one to the other The 10th House is Capricorn and Venus Lady of the 7th is in Libra strong and there doth Square the 10th If any one be but pleased to set the Figure for the time proposed he may the better consider of it still remembring the Ascendant to represent the Common People and the 10th the Magistracy Now when the Comet entred Virgo the Figure is almost the same only the Moon will be in the same Sign with the Comet the Comet being visible in the 7th House the Figure being set for an hour after Sun set for the day the Comet entred in each Sign will inform any Artist what the signification of it may be yet for the benefit of the Reader I shall insert my Judgment of both these Comets in general It bids the East part of Germany beware for they by the protence of this Comet are threatned by great Devastation by the means of War the Turk will invade him and will lay waste many of his Provinces a mixt sort of People will over-spread Austria and all the East North West and South-West Parts of Germany the House of Austria will be brought very low by the hands of both Turks and Christians Poland thou art like to have a great Calamity fall upon thee both by the Turk and Tartar it is best for thee to stand upon thy own Legs for if thou joyns thy Forces with any Prince against Turk and Tartar it will be in part thy Ruine they both will prevail against thee in such sort that thou wilt wish thou hadst never been born such Calamity will follow upon it The Muscovite will do well to look to himself and secure his Territories for there is Vengeance coming upon him in a short time and that both by Turk and Tartar Swedeland if I might be thy Counsellor rest in Peace for thou wilt be very unfortunate in War but alas thou wilt not believe it but know that if thou wilt dance the Piper must be paid and if thou dost go to War with any of thy Neighbours as I believe thou wilt soon thou wilt repent when it will be too late And thou Oh! Spain wilt have cause to curse thy Counsellor for thy Kingdom is like to be brought very low and for thy Cruelty in the West-Indies shalt thou be driven from thence in less than 30 years and thy People shall become very poor France prepare thy self to undergo a sad Calamity for there shall be a great Rebellion in the Bowels thereof that shall shake the Family that now injoys the Crown thereof if not a quite Overthrow Italy thou art like to have thy share of trouble for the Turk will over-run thy fruitful Territory and shall lay Rome waste and drive the Pope from those Parts and soon after shall there be no more All those Lands that are said to be under Cancer will have great Calamity in general that is the poor People will have great loss as to their Moveables from which Evil I pray God bless Scotland I could tell likewise what is like to befall those Places under Aries but the Times will not bear to hear it therefore I desire to be excused because I have said so much as may satisfie any Artist in this Point Therefore my Friends at this time FAREWEL Advertisements ARts and Sciences Mathematically Professed and taught by the Author John Holwell Philomat at his House on the East side of Spittle Fields over against Dorset street next door to a Glaziers viz.

A great many of these Places hath he already got and the rest will suffer by him in a short time Under Taurus are Russia Polonia Great Swedeland the North part Lorraign Campania Helvetia Rhetia Franconia Parthia Persia Ireland Cyclades the Island of Cyprus and the Sea Towns of Lesser Asia Of Cities Bononia Sona Matua Tarentum Panorme in Sicily Peruficum Caput Histria Brixi Zurich Lucerne

Hassia Thuringia Marchia Stiria Orchades India Ariana Gedrasia Of Cities Oxford Mechlin Juliacum Berga Brandenburg Austusta Vindelicorum Constance Derthona Faventia So likewise all those Places that are in Square and Opposition to Virgo will meet with great Devastation by the force of this Empire The Places that are in Square are Gemini and Sagittarius Now if we may believe the Antient they tell that under Sagittarius are Spain Dalmatia Sclavonia Hungary Moravia Misnia Celtia Thirronia Arabia the happy Of Cities Toledo Voleteras Mutina Narbon Avinion Colonia Agrippina Studgard Rotenburg Buda Gascovia And under Gemini are according to Authors part of Lumberdy part of England Flanders Brabant and the Dukedom of Wertenburgh Hircania Armenia Martiania Cyrenia Marmarica Aegypt the Lower Of Cities London Corduba in Spain Viturbium Cecenam Turny Vercellas Rhegium Lovain Bruges in Flanders Mentz Kitzing Hosford Bamberge Villacum Norimberg And under Piscis the opposite Sign to Virgo are according to Authors Cilicia Calabriana Portugal Galicia Normandy Phasimia Nosomonia in Libia Garamantes Lydia Phamphilia and Higher Aegypt Of Cities Alexandria Hispolis Compostella Parentium Rhimes Worms Ratispont So likewise not only all those Places that are under the Signs that Mars doth behold but all those Places that the place of the Conjuction doth behold and that is Aquarius Libra Leo Aries Under Aquarius the Place of the Conjunction are Amazonia Sarmatia Great Tartary Valachia Muscovia the South part of Swedeland Westphalia Mosel Piedmont part of Bavaria Ethiopia Oxiania Sogdiana Media Arabia Desert and Stony Of Cities Hambourough Breme Mountferate Pisarum Trent Salizburgh Ingolstade Under Leo is Galla Fagata the Alps Italy Sicily Apalia Bohemia part of Turky Aemilia Sabina Phenicia Chaldea Orchinia Of Cities Demasco Syracuse Rome Rovenna Cremona confluente Prague Liniz Crimisicum Under Libra are Austria Alsatia Livoia Sabandia Delphinat Bastrina Thusia Seres Caspia

Vienna in Austria Antwerp And under Aries are said to be England France Germany in general Higher Silesia part of Polonia Burgundy Denmark Basternia Syria Palestine Cities Naples Capua Ancona Farrara Florence Verona Bergano Lindaw Vtrecht Padua Marcelles Epidaure Crackow Augustam Caragosa Wenieca It is very well worth our noting that the Conjunction and the place of Mars doth behold all the twelve Signs but it cannot be expected that the Turk should have all the Places that are under the twelve Sings but he will go night to have all those Places that had their beginning under the Influence of Saturn and Jupiter when they were conjoyned in four five or six Degrees of any of them because those parts both Mars Saturn and Jupiter do behold all round Now any one that will be but pleased to consider all of the Conjunctions of Saturn and Jupiter is any of the Sigus since the Rise of this Family you will find that these Places have been the greatest Sufferers that had their Signs beholding the place of Mars by any bad Aspect in the Conjunction that preceded the Rise of that Family And seeing that great Expectations of the Turks Mo ion into Eundpe upon the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in 1682 and 1683 we olight to consider how the Figure of this Conjunction doth sympathise with the Conjunction that was the Rise of the Family the Figures of the Conjunction you may see in my Catastrophs Mundi Now if we place the Conjunction it self upon the Cusp of the Ascendant and set the Figure for Constantinople you will find Mars to be upon the Radical place of Mars in the Conjunction in 1285 and there doth make a very quick passage through that Sign and before the second Conjunction in 168â— 3 in January Mars will have got into Libra and there doth make a long and tedious transite no less than eight Months and all the while he passes through Libra he doth afflict Capricorn Cancer and Aries besides the Sign he passes through by his Passage through Libra he doth threaten Austria with great Devastation and also the taking of Vienna it self and the general Conquest of the East Part of Germany and almost all those Places that are in Christendom under Libra Aries Capricorn and Cancer about five Degrees thereof And that the young Artist may be able to give a reasonable Conjecture of Mars's long transit through Libra it will be convenient to set a Figure for the New Moon preceding the second Conjunction because at that time the Sun was Eclipsed and the middle of that Ecclipse fell at London by the best Tables at 4 hours 35 minutes post Meridiem and at Vienna in Austria at 5 hours 40 minutes post Meridiem and in the Latitude of 48 degrees 22 minutes was this following Figure set 10 House ♉ 7 45 4 House â™ 7 45   11 House ♊ 20 5 House â™ 20   12 House ♋ 25 30 6 House ♑ 25 30  ☿ in â™’ 1 0 ☊ in ♌ 15 00 ☉ ☽ 8 d. 10 m. â™’ ♄ in ♌ 17 57 ☋ in â™’ 15 ♃ in ♌ 18 38 ♀ 18 12 â™’ â„ž retrograde Aseendant ♌ 20 7 House â™’ 20   2 House â™ 11 10 House ♓ 11 10   House ♎ 4 50 House ♈ 4 50 ♂ in ♎ 23 11  The reason that I set this figure for Vienna in Austria is because that Saturn and Jupirer are near then arising in their Horison when the Sun suffers the greatest defect and at that very same time both Sun and Moon and Mercury are in Square to the Sign of the 10th House and Venus Lady of the 10th House is in Opposition to the Conjunction it self and is Retrograde also and doth run so far backward in the Sign she is in until she doth come to be in Square to the 10th House also and then doth transit the place of the Ecclipse with a Conjunction and when she is become direct again meet both with Opposition of Saturn and Jupiter All these things are very well worth any Artist's taking notice of by which he may find what is a coming upon that part of Christendom Now it is allowed by all that have any knowledge in Astrology that the Ascendant of an Ecclipse doth represent the commonality of People if so you will find Sol the Lord thereof to be
Ecclipsed by the Moon Lady of the twelfth House what can be expected from thence but that those sort of People inhabiting in those East Parts of Germany should come to have great calamity fall upon them and that by a Lunar sort of People Now the Moon in the great Conjunction preceding the Rise of the Othoman Family is Lady of the sixth House and by that meanes doth represent the Subjects and Vassals of that Family and in this Conjunction Ecclipsing the Sun not far from the opposite Place of that Conjunction doth declare according to Art that they shall over run all those Places of Germany that had Leo arising at the middle time of the Ecclipse and all those Countries that are under Leo Aquarius Taurus and Scorpio and likewise will overthrow all those Monarchs that have their Rise or Foundation under the Influence of a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Leo Taurus and Scorpio but those Places will first have their share of Suffering that are under Aquarius the place of the Ecclipse among which places let Valachia and the South Part of Poland beware neither shall Muscovia be free but shall tast part of the bitter Cup that is allotted for Europe to tast Mars making of his long transit in Libra tells us that Austria shall be much wasted and the People thereof be brought very low and a great part of them will be carried Captive and their great Town Vienna will go near to be lost and the Seat of War will last longer in Austria than in any other part of Germany The Moon and Sun and the Conjunction it self being in Square to Taurus doth declare that Poland should be much wasted by both Turk and Tartar for this Conjunction is in Square to the eleventh House of that Kings Election and the Ecclipses fall in the second and Mercury Lord of the seventh House at the time of his Election is in this Ecclipse in Square to his tenth and Mars Lord of the tenth is in Libra weak this bids Poland to be very careful how he doth go to War during the time that this Conjunction is alotted to operate which will be near twenty years for if he doth fall to War with either Turk ot Tartar he must expect to gain nothing but the Devastation of his fruitful Country with the destruction of his People if not the bazard of the Crown and Dignity of that Kingdom Neither will the Swede be in a better condition for if he doth go to War with any of his Neighbours he will receive great damage by it if not lose part of his Country And by reason of Mars being placed in Virgo at the time of the first of the three Conjunctions and did make a swift passage through that Sign this doth declare that Croatia should be one of the first Places that the Turks should bring under their Subjection and will make great waste in that Province and carry the People Captive And because Mars at that time he was in Virgo did cast his hateful Square to the Sign Sagittarius doth declare according to Art that Hungaria shall suffer much by the Turks and shall by them be made desolate in those parts next Moravia and they will bring that Kingdom under their Subjection in a short time Moravia being under Sagittarius must expect to have a great share of the Turks Invasion and a great many of thy Towns and Cities will be laid waste and a great scarcity of Corn will be in those Parts by reason of the Raging of Armies Neither will Slavonia be free from the Calamity of hot Neighbours for the Great Turk shall make his Way into Italy that way and shall bring under his Yoke that Country and will carry the People into Bondage And by reason that Saturn and Jupiter make a Triple Conjunction in the Sign Leo doth declare that the Turk should advance his Forces into Bohemia and shall there do grent damage he will lay waste all the Monasteries and will carry the Priests into perpetual Bondage It doth grieve my heart to think what great Calamity will fall upon that Kingdom Under the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Leo was the last Bohemian War which caused that Place to indure most sad Calamity but those that were the Cause of that Evil in those days will all of them be brought to destruction that there will not be so much as one Nest for those Unclean Birds left Oh! the many years of great Scarcity that shall full upon that Place occasioned by the Devastation that is like to be by War This Triple Conjunction being in Leo falls in Square to Scorpiâ—â— this doth bid the Duke of Bavaria look to his Country for the Turk is like to invade him with a very great Army and will lay waste a great part of his Territories and joyn it to the rest of his Conquest And Mars being posited in Virgo at the first time of the three Conjunctions doth foreshew that the Dukedom of Wittenburgh shall have the Turk to Range in his Bowels and make great Devastation at which time the Crown of France will begin to shake for fear and wish that he was a little farther from him but it will be in vain for the Turk will invade his new Conquest in Alsatia and from thence pass through Lorrain into France and take Burgundy in the twinkling of an eye all the seventeen United Provinces submit to his Protection without being invaded and by so doing save their Country from Fire and Sword and at the same time the Turk is so Victorious in the South-West Parts of Germany Another part of his vast great Army will Range in the North and North-West Parts thereof and pass through Bohemia and enter Franconia and from thence he will invade both Higher and Lower Saxony even as far as the North Parts thereof it will seem strange to hear that the Turk should be got so far into Germany as Westphalia and the Country of Juliers but so it will be and God's Will must be done Germany was first conquered by the Romans under the Influence of a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Scorpio and the Empire of the Romans was Erected under the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Scorpio this Conjunction falls in Square to that and this Ecclipse falls in Square to that also and the Ecclipse being the Lunation before the second Conjunction of Saturn and Jupitor January 1682 3 this will cause that Empire to have a very great Shake if not totally subverted to the Power of the Othoman Family and seeing that there is such great Preparation on all Sides for a great War with the Turk it will be needful for us to consider the Nativity of this present Emperour of Germany and there to see what Directions he hath This present Emperour of Germany was Borr the 30th day of May Old Stile 1640 at nine Hours 3 Minutes post Meridiem in the Latitude of 48 Degrees The Figute is as
