conceit of it although hee have none of it Sixthly A man that is revengefull and wants a sting hee will please himself with his own revengfull thoughts and take delight to conceit hee is plagueing his enemie though hee bee twenty miles from him I am confident if you look into your own conditions you shall finde I have hit the nayle on the head in some of these and then you cannot but see a reason of the troublesomenesse of the times before the comming of the Lord Iesus Christ in power This is my first reason Secondly The Devill begins to grow a little troublesome because hee hath but a short time to continue as the Bishops in England were in the height of their pride before they fell as Monarchy was most tyrannicall a little before its Catastrophe So will the Devill also if you beleeve the Scripture Rev. 12. 12. Woe bee to the Inhabitants of the earth and of the sea for the Divel is come down to you having great wrath because he knows he hath but a short time 3. God may do it to leave the wicked without excuse They have read all these things shall come before the great and notable day of the Lord appear before he pour out his spirit upon all flesh and if they will neither beleeve what they read hear see nor feel I do not know what to say to them As sure as a club their consciences cannot plead one inch of excuse 4. God may do it to make the Saints attend more to prayer When men are most in danger then they pray heartilyest and walk closest with God when they have a little rest God is quickly out of their minds And now I think of it I care not if I incite here a couple of Verses which I heard from a Commander now at present in the Army Our God and Souldiers we alike adore Even in the brink of danger not before After deliv'rance they are alike requited Our God 's forgotten and our Souldiers slighted And to tell you the truth Experience will tell us that in that persecution under the late Bishops the Saints walked more closely with God then now they do they now walk as carelesly as if the Divel were dead I shall bring all home to the purpose I quoted it for and conclude this reason with one place of Scripture which when you have read and seriously considered tell me if prayer may not be a notable help to you in these times of trouble which are so manifestly threatned and so near at hand and so nearly concern you it is Acts 2. 19 20 21. And I will shew wonders in heaven above and signes in the earth beneath bloud and fire and vapour of smoake The Sun shall be turned into darknesse and the Moon into blood before that great and not able day of the Lord come And it shall come to passe that whosoever shall CALL upon the NAME of the LORD shall be saved 5. It may be to call off the hearts of the Saints from the world that so they may look up to God whether they will or no when nothing but trouble is to be seen under the Moon such may the love of God to the Saints be that he may move them to come to him by arguments of necessity This is my first Axiome 2 Magistrates walk in the clouds neither will what the common people intend quickly be known Religion in one place and execution of justice in another will be made a couple of dainty cloaks to hide mens knaveries i.e. cover ambitious thoughts from the vulgar view frigidus latet anguis in herba have a care you be not deceived that way nay have a double care such as pretend your freedom and liberty bring you not into a worse bondage A seasonable warning is given you of it not onely by the book of the Creatures but also by the book of the Scriptures Micah 7. 5 6 7. Trust yee not in a friend put ye not confidence in a guide keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosome for the son dishonoureth the father the daughter riseth up against her mother the daughter in law against the mother in law a mans enemies are the men of his own house Therefore I will look unto the Lord I will wait for the God of my salvation My God will hear me Here is your disease here is your cure the Scripture hath spoke enough I need speak no more 3. We told you before That a murrein amongst beasts was threatned and as amongst men in a pestilentiall time all that are infected die not neither is it probable will all the beasts therefore men eating such corrupted food taking their nourishment from it must needs be defiled by its impurity And if you will give me leave to digress a little I will not transgress First Hereby ye see what a great part of the curse of God for sin was Happy yea thrice happy is hee to whom God reveals a redresse Secondly By this you may see if you be not stark blind which takes a more laudable course to cure a disease Gailen who gives the medicine with its impurity or Paracelsus who substracts onely the medicinal part and leaves the impurity as terra damnata 4. Violent storms and unusuall if not unheard of hail will be a great prejudice unto the earth especially toward the later end of the Summer 1652 1653 and it s well if 1654 scape 5. When the air is thus troubled the spirits of the air must needs be troubled also men conceive strange ridiculous thoughts of the Divel namely that he is an ugly unquoth creature with horns on his head and cloven feet with great eys like sacers others that have a little more wit know wel enough that he is a spirit but they think he is tied up fast enough either in hell or in some other hole neither I nor they know where when the truth is his residence is in the air and therefore the Scripture calleth him The Prince of the power of the air Therefore I say the air being disturbed the spirits of the air must needs be disturbed also and such unusual sights may appear as may terrifie both your eys and hearts if not at the time of the Eclipse yet within a short time after Neither shall you see the midst of August 1652 over-past but the world shall see what I have written is truth 6. The Iew begins to take a spleen at Rome and all the Nations in Europe begin to snarl at her her finall Catastrophe approacheth but not yet However till that time come continuall sicknesses fires and tumults either one of these or all of these or something else as bad will molest her And if her learned Jesuits cannot tell her the meaning of God from it what are they good for 7. One word or two I will speak concerning the 2d opposition of ♄ and ♃ which happeneth in Iuly 1653 for then and not quite till

Objection seems worth the answering namely Why did not the Eclipse of the Sun in Aries 19. 1633. work so great effects as you Prognosticate in this To this I Answer First the Eclipse was not so great therefore not so formidable The greatness of the effects of an Eclipse of the Sun are drawn from the greatness of the parts of the body of the Sun darkned Secondly the house of the heavens afflicted by that Eclipse was obscure therefore so must the effects be and yet what sad effects it produced is well known throughout all Europe it being not past our memory Thirdly ♃ and ♀ were both in the ninth house and therefore moderated the matter by wisdom and good Counsell Fourthly the last though not the least of all my arguments is matters were not then fit nor ripe for action so then there is as much difference between that eclips and this as there is between fire set among corn when it is green and when it is dry I com to my last thing propounded which is my own judgment rationally delivered from the Scheam and in doing of this I shall be as accurate as I can The fixed Stars with which this eclipse happens are of a Saturnine and Mercuriall condition I mean those that are within the Zodiack for I have nothing to say to the rest now the second paper wil shew you what their condition is to that I refer you as not daring to write in words of length and not of figures what I think when Iuvenall was in the same fear he wrote his Satyrs against such as were dead and considering my self this Nation is ful of Criticks I wil give my self the latitude of all Europe in my Prognostications the mid-Heaven signifies Kings Magistrates c. the Ascendant the common people the place of the conjunction of Saturn and Iupiter last past was in the mid-heaven of this Eclips perhaps so was the conjunction in the mid-heaven of the figure the Moon is Lady of the ascendant and darkens the Sunne in the 10th upon the very degree of his exaltation and if this signifie not a Democracy or to write English That the Government shall come into the hands of the People and that throughout Europe or the most part therof before the effects of this Eclipse are over past I dare bee bound to forfeit my Life and yet this great thing shall not be done easily Although I speak more of this hereafter yet a few words spoken here in due season will not be amiss Saturn perplexes the Ascendant and if the Ascendant signifie the comon people it perplexes them also It s no great miracle if Magistrates be perplexed that the Vulgar should suffer when the Lion roars the beasts tremble Two years shall not pass before both come to pass Saturn in the ascendant according to Bally and there unfortunate and the old soul is as misfortunate as can bee signifies detriment and impediment to the Body of man infirmities and sickness of his own nature the truth on 't is he looks as sowr as Verjuice on the common People and to tell them the plain truth of the business hee is Lord of the seventh eighth and ninth Houses Have a care of your selves gentle Clergy and be ruled by me joyn together and petition the State against his effects and tell them ITS DAMNABLE ITS DAMNABLE See if you and the States are able to withstand his evill influence I will promise you the States have patience enough to stay two years to try which is in the truth you or I. It were a most gallant thing my Friends of the Clergy if your outcryes and most humble petitions could withstand the influence of the Stars which the eternall God the first Being of all things created them for A word or two to my Brethren of the Commonalty my self being a Commoner Good people I cannot flatter neither can I perswade my self you will act honestly during the effects of this eclipse I speak not to those in England but generally to all those in Europe horrid Tumults Murthers and Mutinies are threatned cruel massacres the Commoners are subject to bee impudent and insolent against their Magistrates remember remember Ierusalem was ruined by its own seditions within it or else Vespasian had as good have thrown his cap at it Let us reason a little together in a fair way I pray tell mee and tell mee truly suppose your Magistrates doe not please you is Mutinies the way to help your selves would you take such a courswel at the hands of your servants would you be glad to be served so read all Histories and see if you can ever finde any good end ensue such preposterous beginnings you will undo your selvs and begger your children and families if you take such courses God will have his work don in his own time by his own way of which I am sure Mutiny is none And yet the more is the pity they are too too frequent throughout Europe I pray God England bee not too too sensible of them during the effects of this Eclipse I say no more I am sure France is peppered with them and Holland hath its share The square of Saturn to the Luminaries signifies wrangling and falling out between great and rich men Kings and Magistrates cannot agree with one another so it seemes the comon people shall not have all the fish to fry Negligence and Tyranny having taken possession of Princes Envy hatred and accusations by the people and somthing wors sues and pursues them and like so many evil Spirits haunts their Ghosts and at last unthrones them and layes their honor in the dust And where can come a better place for that counsell of the Holy Ghost then this Be wise now therefore O ye Kings be instructed ye Rulers of the Earth serve the Lord with fear and rejoyce with trembling kisse the Son lest he be angry and ye perish from the way Blessed are all they that trust in him Besides Saturn being Lord of the Eight and in the Ascendant threatens the Earth with diseases of his owne nature which you may read in my Semeiotica I doubt feel before the effects of this Eclipse be half over The truth is a general pestilence is threatened to Europe of which England is like sadly to participate neither shall Holland want its share Lastly consider that the places subject to the effects of this Eclipse are England France Germany Swedeland Poland Denmarke Silesia Syria The holy Land Palestina Russia Ireland Lorrain Franconia Parthia Persia Scotland Granado Burgundia Holland Zealand Prussia Numidia a great part of Affrick Austria and its whole House Saxony Hassia c.

a mistical sense and produce a real war First in the Microcosm or body of man between the spirit of man and his own corruptions look into your selves you shall finde it as I tell you Secondly in the habitable world between the saints and the men whose portions is in this world which Cain and Abel first began but the contest shall never be ended till the dissolution Thirdly in the intelligible world between good and bad Angels for Michael and his Angels shall fight against the Dragon and the Dragon shall fight and his Angels but here is our comfort and the comfort of all saints our Christ is a Conquering Christ and is preparing to ride out Conquering and to Conquer and if this be so as is apparently true why may not another Scripture 1 Kings 19. 15 16 17. And the Lord said unto him go and return on thy way to the Wilderness of Damascus and when thou comest there anoint Hazael to be King over Syria and Jehu the son of Nimshy shalt thou anoint to be King over Israel and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint to be Prophet in thy room and it shall come to pass that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay and him that escapeth the swood of Jehu shall Elisha slay and I care not greatly if I ad the next verse yet have I left me seven thousand in Israel that have not bowed the knee to Baal I will not stand much in the interpretation of this Scripture but leave every one to be his own interpreter yet this I say that Tyranical brain who hath escaped the sword in this Nation may dye by the pestilence and he who escapeth the pestilence may dye by the hand of that Angel who is noted to come Revelations 14. 6 7. And I saw an Angel fly in the midst of Heaven having the EVERLASTING GOSPEL to preach to them that dwel on the Earth and to every Nation and tongue and people saying with a loud voice fear God and give glory to him for the hour of his judgment is come and worship him that made the Heaven and Earth and the Sea which Angel I assure you is coming and will be heard not in your ears but in your hearts I mean the hearts of such as have not bowed THEIR KNEE TO BAAL And this gives me some hope the Lord will preserve you in this terrible pestilential time 1653. in the mean season make use of Paul's advice which he preached at Lystra Turn from vanity and worship the living God which made the Earth and the Sea and all that therein is Secondly Kings and Magistrates cannot agree with one another but only in one thing and that is oppressing the people and that they are old dogs at and the poor groan under it Arise O God and help them Thirdly the Soldiery canot agree with one another let them score their valor on the heads of their enemies in Gods name and not fall out with one another for that is pity Fourthly many Clergymen and Lawyers are displaced and imprisoned and some made shorter by the head Fifthly a new sect of Hereticks arise and yet I should admire how wors can be invented then are already did I not know the Devils invention is very quick in what is nought Sixthly a wofull mortality is threatned both to man and beast pestilence amongst men diseases of the heart and stomack murrain among cattell violent hot and blasting East winds Seventhly I could almost be afraid of some treacherous action either hatching or acting by those that are in authority in Scotland I hope our State will have a vigilant eye over them they have warning of it long enough before hand Eightly Cholar perplexes the bodies of men to which if I adde a little discontent as I may doe very well both distilled through the Limbick of an idle Brain may bring forth such an untoward chymicall preparation as may produce contempt of Authority to the great prejudice both of superiours in the Nation and also in the Nation it self Ninthly private Murthers and poisonings are like to bee very rife I desire all men in authority to have a care of themselves lest some of them be sent to take a supper apud inferos before they are aware of it it is a scurvy fashion I doe not like it and yet to tell you the truth I fear it Tenthly the Land is not like to beare all the evill influence of this conjunction the Sea must have his share also there is like to be old knocking there our Frigots I hope are like to get good prizes let the Hollander beware how hee meddles with us untill such time as he longs to be beaten I am of opinion that most of the Merchants of Europe will com off losers in the effects of this conjunction 11.
