the Earthy for ever since the Creation of the World it hath pleased the Almighty God to effect the most Remarkable and most Eminent Changes here oâ— Earth and gradually to bring to pass the greatest wonders under the Conjunctions of the two Superiour Planets in the fiery trigon we being now under the 8 trigonicall Revolution incompleat and imperfect since the Creation of the World and when their Conjunctions an hundred Years hence have made their departure out of the Fiery trigon into the Earthy they will not make their Appearance in the fiery trigon againe 'till many hundered Years are Expired But under this Conjunction of the two Superiours about the Year 1737 or 1738 when ♄ begins to make another transit through the airy Sign ♊ Gemini which is the Signe opposite to â™ the Lord will suffer the Foolish Virgins to contend again with the Wise and one with another because of their Darkness and Disobedience therefore let the Wise Virgins be armed with his power that they may then be preserved in peace for God hath ordained a time to Every purpose under Heaven Ecclesiastes 3.1 But that which is most Remarkable is this that in or about the year 1782 the two Superiour Planets ♄ and ♃ will make another Famous Conjunction in that Pious Regal and Fiery Signe â™ which will be the Conjunction of their Twelfth ingresse into that Pious Signe since the birth of Christ the Number Twelve being by wise Men called divine under which Conjunction and great Apostolick Number I Conjecture the Lord will do very great things and perfect a Reformation in the World and gather his People into a more perfect unity and Confound the foolish Virgins who are apt to give offences to the Wise by which they are lyable to that Wo which Christ Proclaimed when he said Wo to that Man by whom the offence Cometh Matth. 18.7 I shall now make a great leap over many yeares to come and shaâ—l only mention one event more which may be Remarkable to posterity about 300 years hence the Conjunction of the two Superiour Planets ♄ and ♃ will make their ingress into the airy trigon into the Sign ♊ which is opposite to that Pious Signe â™ under which the said Religion arose under whose Conjunction Conjunctions in the Signe ♊ the Lord who hath given Motions to the admirable wheels of Nature hath preordained by their circulations to let in a very great flood of afflictions upon the Professors of this Religion for a Tryal of Their Faith and a Grievous persecution I Conjecture will arise to overthrow the said Religion or to drive the professors thereof into Obscurity and Desolation and the Induction of strange herisyes will be known unless the great Governour of Celestial motions Miraculously prevent it Therefore all that professe the said Religion in these our Days ought to prise the day of Gods Visitation and love unto their Souls while the storms are not so Great and as Wise Virgins to make their progresse towards the Lord out of pride and Sins that they may appear as lights to many that are in Darknes and let them praise the Lord for Discovering that Blessed principle of Light to them in their Days who also works by the constellations and heavenly Bodys as well as by his Spirit in man Of the Four Principal causes of Religious Differences 1. The First cause is from Suspition Without Knowledge from whence false Judgments are given and unsavoury offences corupting and severing the Christian unity 2. The Second cause proceedeth from disobedience to the Word and Spirit of God through which the loftiness of the Heart continues and the Rich are Respected above the Poor by which the ardency of affections may be cooled and disunity take Place 3. The Third cause is for want of Divine Manifestations through which many Scripture expressions cannot be Comprehended nor understood from whence Differences in Opinions may often arise 4. The Fourth cause proceeds from a Contrariety in nature for every ones Nature is not alike some Natures being very much different and Incongruent from whence arise diverse crossings and offences And the cheife cause of contrariety in Nature is from the Circumrotation of the admirable wheels of Nature which move through the Preordination of the great and wise Creator in which he hath Fixed many lâ—ght bright and Admirable bodys through which the Heavens Declare his Glory psal 19 1. which being of Diverse Natures do through their Daily incessant Motions and preordinate circulations cause a mixture of influences in the Supernall Regions of the air from whence proceed the love and enmity in his creatures here below who hold a congruency or incongruency of Natures among themselves for if the Planet that Governs the Oriental Angle at the Birth of any person be located in a place opposite to the Place of any other Planet that governs the Orientall angle at the time of anothers birth the two Persons through a contrariety in Nature will to Admiration very often Disagree especially if the Planet be either ♄ or ♂ Though many know not the Reason why this is written and Published yet if they Rightly apply it it may do them much good A Short Song of the true Christians or wise Virgins OUR Burning lamps were fill'd with pretious Oyle When we that Joyful midnight cry had heard Our lofty foes did make us weep and wail When we upon our Hevenly course had stear'd Once Israel For an earthly Kingdom Fought And were Victorious through their Valiant King But we an everlasting Kingdome sought And of our Spir'tuall Victories can sing I shall shall now proceed to give my Astrological Judgments for this present Year 1700. THE positions of the Heavens at the time of the Suns ingresse into the First Minute of the Vernall Equinoctial Signe ♈ seeme to be wholly for Peace and that England will not be Molested nor encumbered with warrs but will this Year be in a state of much felicity yet from some other positions of the Planets I am somewhat afraid of some Estival disturbances especially in Ireland though the greatest troubles in Ireland I doubt will be in 1705 But Ho'lland and Scotland seem to be pretty free from Martial disturbances till 1710 or 1711 but perhaps France may next year be threatned by a Forreigne enemy The Clergy seem to be much dissatisfyed in their minds and to set themselves in opposition against some other professors The Planet ♄ is now making his long Voyage through the watery Signe ♓ along with the ☋ which either this year or the next may cause some perturbations and distractions Bloodshed and much Mischief in many places Especially in Cilicia Galatia Normandy and in Egypt the higher and perhaps France and Particularly Paris may in some measure participate of their portended Mischief and there may also much Controversy and debates arise concerning sects and the appearance of some new heresy may take place In January the Planet ♄ goes out of â™’
Astrological and Theological OBSERVATIONS AND PREDICTIONS For the Year of our LORD 1700. WHEREIN Are briefly Shewn as well the Judgements and Opinions of several Wise Men concerning this present Year and other Years as his own Judgment with the Signification of the Eclipses of this present Year WITH Monthly Observations for every Month of this present Year breifly containing the Most Remarkable events that are likely to happen in England and other Places and the most likely days for Rain and Change of VVeather and other things worthy of Observaton Psal 19.1 The lofty Heavenes by their Whirling Motion Over the Earth deep Seas and floting Ocian Dayly declare to sinful Flesh and Blood The Glory of the great Omniscient God The Firmament fill'd with amazing Lights Doth Shew his Handy-work to Earthly Sights Psal 147.4 He tells the number of Sidereal Flames And calls them by their own Celestial names Thei 're happy who have carnal eyes to gaze Upon those glorious lights which us amaze 2. pet 1.19 More happy they who can with Spiritual eyes Behold the day Star in their Hearts to rise By JOHN SILVESTER Student in Astrology Living near the Market-house at Alders Key in Bristol BRISTOL Printâ—â— for the Author and are Sold by W. B … near the Tolsey Astrological and Theological OBSERVATIONS AND PREDICTIONS For the Year of our LORD 1700. THIS is that great Year which several Wise-men have pointed at wherein or about which time they have Conjectured that the World would see some great Unusual and Famous Changes John Napeir L. of Marchiston believed the day of Judgment would fall between the Years 1688. and 1700. for he believed the Abomination that made Desolate was set up in the Year of Christ 365 by that Abominable Julian when he made Decrees for Desolating and Devouring Gods Servants therefore he said from the Year of Christ 365 we are Commanded to Reckon 1335 Years which falleth in Anno. 1700 And then saith Daniel verse 6th shall be the end of all Wonders even the Wonderous and great Day of the Lord Read the last Chapter of Daniel George Withers conceived that near unto this Year the Roman Empire would be totally subverted and overthrown for they made their Computations by these Numeral letters MDCLXVI which are the Numurals for 1666 which being added to 32 Years about which Age Christ suffered the Aggregate will amount to 1698 which is near unto 1700. In a little book entituled Reverend M. Brightman's Judgment or Prophesies it is thus Written but the Pope is to be quite and fully overthrown at the Year 1686 and that in the Year 1696 the great Turk also shall be utterly overthâ—own T. B. In his little Book Wrote that the Turkish Power should come to his end and that none should be able by any help what ever to prevent it even at the Year 1697. I.H. In his Catastrophe Mundi wrtho◠〈◊〉 the Year 1700 saying now is Rome Destroyed and the Downful of the Seat of Peter the Conversion of the Turks and Jews soon follow and in his appendix Wrote that the ☌ ♄ ♃ in â™ in 1722 will Destroy all the Opinions of of the Pagans all over the whole World and Reduce all to the Faith of our Saviour Jesus Christ and that all Contrariety of Opinions will be laid Open. The Man was Ingenious but I doubt his Judgment will fail him this Year In a certain Book Entituled a Calender of Prophetick time drawn by an Expresse Scripture line on the Title page there is a prophesy thus Demonstrated But that the time of their Prophesy in Sackcloth meaning the two Witnesses Slain will not Expire till the Year 1697 And at the Year 1727 shall begin the final Destruction of the Beast by the viols accomplished at the Year 1772 in the new Jeusalem briefly described After which time the Author concluded there would ensue Blessed times accordding to these words in another place of the said Book by Calculation of time this blessed state will begin e're the Seventh thousand of the World enters but as near as within 240 Years I took the more notice of 1772 because it holds a near congruency with the Year 1782 Expressed in my following predictions concerning the Roman Empire Astrologically and Theologically Composed which as great secret I bequeath unto the World Concerning the Roman Empire I find by our Trigonicall table Calculated by the great pains and Industry of I. H. which he Extracted from the Caroline tables of T. S. Published in 1663. That Jesus Christ was Born under the ☌ ♄ ♃ in that Pious Sign ♓ one of the House of Pious ♃ but he Established his most pure Christian Religion under the ☌ ♄ ♃ in that Pious Sign â™ Sagittarus the other House of Pious ♃ and under the Sixth Trigonicall Revolution of the ☌ ♄ ♃ since the Creation of the World And it came into my Heart that as the Lord made Mans and Finished his work on the Sixth day of the Week and rested on the Seventh day even so he was pleased to Establish the true Christian Religion and to Finish the Settlement thereof by the Death of his Dear Son Jesus Christ under the ☌ ♄ ♃ in that diurnall and Pious Signe â™ that happned under the Sixth Trigonical Revolution thereof since the Creation of the World to bring all belevers into a spiritual way of Worship and to purifie them who said it is Finished and then gave up the Ghost John the 19.30 And after his resurrection he likewise entered into his Eternal Sabbath of Rest And whereas Jesus Christ made choice of Twelve Apostles to convert Sinners to Rightoueness so it is probable that the Lord will convert many of the greatest infidels to the true Christian Faith under the ☌ ♄ ♃ that will hapen after their Twelth ingress into that Piou Signe since the birth of Chist in or near the Year 1782 to perfect a Reformation in the World through the Spirit of Grace within for this great Apostolick Number 12 is by wise Men called Divine so that it seems very likely that the Pope of Rome if not also some other unconverted Monarchs may under the conjunction of that great Apostolick numb … 〈◊〉 … her totally overthrown or else converted through so me Judgmen tto the true Christian Faith for the Lord Respects number and order and a very good Reason may be given why Christ made Choice of the Number of Twelve Apostles The Number 1728 is by wise Men counted fatal to which when any City or Common Wealth hath attained it shall afterwards Decline Now whereas the true Christian Religion and Spiritual way of Worship was not fully Established 'till the Death of Christ who said if I go not away the Comforter will not Come unto you John 16.7 therefore if we add 32. the Number of Christ's Age when he died to 1728 the totall will be 1760. which is the Year wherein by this Rule the true Christian Religion will by some means begin to decline
into ♓ and perhaps some unusual sight may then appear in the air I expect the apparition of some comet within three or four yeers About the year 1702. or 1703. after ♃ hath made his next congresse with ♄ in the fiery Sign ♈ the ascendant of England and also after ♄ hath moved pretty far therein we shall best know whether there will be Wars or Peace in England if we can but escape a brush then we may be happy and long rest under the enjoyment of Peace and Tranquility Sed O Anglia timeo ne multi hostes tune Existerent in te aut Contra te Ergo cavitâ— vos incolae praecipuÌ„e cum tempus ad veniat sed utcunque quaedam magnae Mutationes tunc expectentur vel subito postea and whereas the ☋ is exalted above ♄ in the Ninth house it Signifies the Death of old Men and of Monks and of Religious Men also ♄ applying to the ☋ at the time of the Suns vernall ingresse portends some scarcity of the Fruits of the earth yet by some other positions wheat seems to be indifferent Cheap all the latter half of the year But the Positions of our Summer ingresse very much threaten Miscarryages to Women with Child The Kings and Princes of Europe will this quarter be meditating about the sea Affiairs and sometimes about the Religion of their subjects but they appear in great Splendour during the vernal and estival quarter yet seem to be some way Displeased and disturbed in the Autumnal Quarter Of the ECLIPSES of this present YEAR 1700. THERE will happen but two Eclipses this Year and they will be both of the Moon the first will be on the twenty third day of February at 36 minutes past Six of the Clock in the Morning this Eclipse will be total and the begining of it may be visible to those that are willing to rise before the Sun Riseth if the air be clear It portends the Destruction of some of our Enemyes and also of some great Drinkers or Drunkards and a Mortality to many Children or young Folks and it also threatens sickness or much evil to many Counsellors and scribes and signifies unfortunate Navigations and turbulent and pernitious winds and perhaps in some Countrys it may cause an Earthquake This Ecipse will cheifly operate in those Countrys and Places that are Subject to the signes ♠♓ and â™’ but it threatens much evil to all Persons in General whose Acsendants were the 15th degree of â™ or some degree near it at the time of their Births The Second will be an Eclipse of the Moon on the 18th day of August about 27 Minutes past 2 of the Clock in the Afternoon this will be a great Eclipse but invisible to us the Moon being Lady of the 8th House and posited on the Cusp of the third and Religious ♃ being both Lord of the ascendant and Lord of the Eclipse and posited in ♑ It hath an ill signification concerning the Vulgar sort of People and denotes Death and Distruction to many of them and to many Travellers and to some sort of Professors of Religion especially in those Countrys and places under ♓ â™ and ♑ and also to Fishes in the Waters but ♂ being Lord of Subsequent Angle and applying to the Cusp of the ascendant I fear it hath Relation to some future Disturbances amongst Men Espcially in those Countrys and places under the signes â™ and ♊ This Eclipse will begin to operate most Manifestly about the middle of May in 1701. The great Omniscient Omnipotent and most wise Creator did not make the Sun Moon and Stars for Lights only but for Diverse Effects and purposes wherefore he was pleased to give them power over the Natures of all Creatures in the air and Water and of all Anminals Vegetables and Minerals here on Earth yet he hath not given away all his power to them but as he hath been ever so he is now and ever will be the Almighty which Commandeth the Sun and it Riseth not and Sealeth up the Starrs which alone spreadeth out the Heavens and treadeth upon the Waves of the Sea which maketh Arcturus Orion Pleiades and the Chambers of the South which doth great things past finding out yea and wonders without Number Job 9.7 8 9 10. May he not say unto Man that hath Humane Wisdom canst thou do any of those mighty things or canst thou bind the sweetest influences of Pleiades or loose the bands of Orion canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season or canst thou guide Arcturus with his Sonns Joh. 38.31 32. Psal 148 3 Praise him ye Heav'nly Sun and Moon Praise him all ye Starres of Light Your Rising moving going Down Glorifies him Day and Night Monthly Observation for every Month this present Year 1700. January's Observations MANY Clandestine Consultations by some great Council or Parliament seem to have been either in the preceeding Month or may be about the begining of this many Princes of Europe are now very Magnanimous and shew themselves in great Splendour and are acting and contriving for the Consolation and profit of their Subjects the City of Oxfâ—â—d is now much Esteemed and favoured and many of the Clergy and some other Learned Men will Resort thither some Potentate in Ireland seems to be somewhat enraged at the threatenings or some Exasperating Speeches of some great Potentate whose ascendant is â™ we may now expect the safe arrival of many Ships to their several Ports some change of weather may be expected before the middle of the Month. E're this cold shiv'ring Month hath taken leave Of us who here our earthly Dwellings have Chronos and Ericina too conjoine Moist'ning the earth with snow or showers of Rain towards the latter end of the Month February's Observation THIS Month seems to produce Weighty consultations in Councills concerning the Militia about which some Discords arise The main body of the Commonalty are now very well united to their head and are earnestly endeavouring to get Money at home and abroad by their employments the Seas seem to be perilous for Merchants ships some danger of Losses by private Thieveâ— on the Roads causing grief and trouble to Travellers Snow or Rain about the 9th 13th 22d 27th Days Now Dusky Phaenon doth with Clouds Obscure Geat Titans glory and his splendour pure The lofty Heavens weep their falling Tears Wash clean the Earth's green morning gown she weares Especially about the 12th Day of the Month March's Observations THE Potentates and Nobles of some Nations especially of the Nations that are under ♈ and 69 seem now to blame their Subjects and to act some thing which the Vulgar will not like Great Men have wise heads now with a great ideal of policy in them the Seas are now very Perillous by Reason of Pyrots Travellers may now Expect many affronts on the Roads by Thieves and highway Men. Men and their Wives differ much about the latter end of the Month but I mean those that are Naturally apt
to be passionate a probability of Rain about the 7th 21st 30th Days and indeed the latter end of the Month is likely to produce much Rain When I the Rays of my judicious Eye Had cast upon the splendid lights on high I saw some wond'ring some in discontent Some great ones under close imprisonment and small ones too or at least threatned April's Observations THE Consultations of this Month in Councils seems to be Chiefly about Marine affaires but they differ in their opinions Sicknesses and Distempers will Naturally surprize many of the Vulgar sort especially in the City of London let them beware of too much carnality lest they suffer for it by the Venereal distemper many Mercurial persons especially in London and Ireland are now some way furiously affronted some probability of pretty high winds about the 12th and 27th Days and of Hail or Rain about the 4th 13th 28th Days Gradivus doth with Furious rays afflict Bright Noble Phaebus doth him Contradict Some English Hero on the Irish Ground I Fear 's in danger of a secret wound about the latter end of the Month. May's Observations IMprisonment seems to be threatned to some great Potentates especially in those Countrys under ♉ but the benigne aspects of this Month do much favour the Commonalty and give them the enjoyment of much love content and felicity and curb that Spirit in them that may sometimes be ready to appear in Wrath but their success in trading will be but Ordinary Rain near the begining and end of the Month. Though Valiant Mars looks furious in an Angle As if he had a small intent to wrangle mild Venus doth old Saturne kindly greet Making Mars mild by Salutations sweet So that he is scarce hot spirited enough to fight June's Observations THE Planet Mars was perswaded the last month to keep his Sword in his sheath but I am half a fraid he wil draw him this Month but Ireland is the Place chiefely threatned Ergo Caveat Hybernia quoniam nunc illa inerit periculo magis quam multa alia adjacentia Regna and ♉ the asendant of Ireland is now furiously ascending upon the stage of the world and ♂ the Planet of Mischiefe is now preparing to make â—his transmigration over the degree opposite to the ascendant if the heat of ♂ be not Extinguished it may break out into a flame about the latter end of this Month or the begining of the next but there will be several treatyes to preserve Peace and I wish the animosityes of some Martial Spirits may not be too much incensed but rather cooled by moderation and Rationable compliances the Seas are now well enough cleared from Pyrots many Whoredomes are now discovered and the Partyes concerned imprisoned a probability of Rain the 4th and 22d day and of Rain and Thunder on the 2d 9th 19th 30th Day Come Phaenon Phaebus Hermes use your Wits That fierce Gradivus make no bloody hits Phaebus and Hermes spread your arms embrace Stout Aris let him sheath his sword In Peace For that is his best place I think we have known wars enough already July 's Observations THE Vulgar sort of People are now pretty much Grieved and driven into perturbations of mind partly about the sea affairs and losses thereby and partly about some Kind of Religion which many will now be Zealous for and they often discourse about those that belong to the Council house some Superiours I fear will be in danger of Imprisonment The Seas seem now to be very perillous for Merchants Ships and partly by Reason of Pyrots the Highways are also alittle dangerous for Travellers by reason of Thieves A probability of some Thunder and Lightning near the 3d. 8th 13th 23d Day and of Rain on or about the 8th 16th 22d 29th Days I wonder why great Titan should abuse Our pious star and put him in a muse The learned Clergy sudden Changes see Yielding submission to some high Decree perhaps before the middle of the month August's Observations THE Furious Planet mars is once again got into the Council house a little nearer to the cusp being lord both of the 10th and 11th houses the learned in Astrology know that in the signe and house where he is now posited he usually creates contentions in councils with a great deal of fury and their undestandings are so good that by directing their ocular Rays to the Southerne part of the Zodiack they can tell you that the fury proceeds partly from thence he that can understand it him The Clergy in Oxford and else where seem now to be in better content then in the last Month but Merchants are now subject to losses through Montanous Waves on the perillous Seas The Commonalty in General are now Subject to many losses Diverse ways yet seem to go on in their business and Trading with exhilarated Spirits many discourses are now about the burials of the Dead and the Taxes laid thereon the likelyest Days for Rain are the 24th 16th 18th 21st 22d 23d Days Thunder about the 10th 22d 26th Days Slow Falcifer is in the water creeping With Sullen looks on Sol and Venus peeping We see the Rain and hear the Roaring Thunder Which makes us at the Works of Nature Wonder After the middle of the Month but I fear it will make the Farmer a little sad September's Observations THE proceedings in the Council house seem pretty smooth yet not without a mixture of some Ruggedness through some discontented Spirits The Clergy in General if not also some other Persons professing Religion seem to be much Grieved and Dissatisfied at something acted in Councils and they frown at some of the Vulgar about some Religious orders and for something spoken or acted against them and in deed it may be admired if some of both sorts suffer not by Imprisonment I am half a fraid of a conspiracy against some of the higher Powers but fears possess the promoters of the Mischiefe intended which perhaps may either frustrate or weaken their designer There is now plenty enough of Wisdom and Policy though indeed Wisdom is not always the Conservatix of Peace and Love Omnibus temporibus Dominum Deum magis quam viros timeant Cuncti The Seas now are very perillous for Merchants Ships some danger of miscarryages to Women with Child a probability of Rain at the begining and about the middle and also at the end of the of the month Phaebus and Hermes kindly do salute Bright Phaeton and with him both dispute through wise and Fair entreatyes to asswage Some pious fury and Religious Rage 'T is well there are some pious peace makers for I think there is need enough of them now or may be about November October's Observation SUperiours now seem to be in very great Unity and Benevolence among themselves and have also pretty good affections towards their subjects yet are a little displeased to hear that their subjects are somewhat unwilling to pay some kind of Tax Religion is the thing now much discoursed of in Councils together with the Sea affairs Imprisonment seems to be threatened to some sort of professors of Religion and also to some Seamen A probability of Rain or Hail about the 2.12 and 25 days Fair Ericina's pretty wanton Eyes Chronos doth with his cloudy mask disguise They drop Down tears do sadly weep and wail We see them fall like Show'res of Rain or Hail Chiefely about the begining of the month November's Observations IMprisonment seems still to be threatened to some of the nobler sort of the commonalty for words spoken against some Superiours which I fear will enflame the anger of a great Potentate against them Ergo linguam Regat Ratio The Clergy if not also some other professing party have not only been lately troubled but enraged by some great Ruler The Seas are now very perillous for masters of Ships and mariners partly by reason of Pyrots and I fear many miscarryages will happen to Women with Child Good news arrives unto us out of Flanders Norway the Higher Bavaria and Barbary some likelihood of Rain or Snow about the 8th 13th and 22d Days Gradivus lately did with Jove contend Who humbly did to Mars greatness bend He still looks with a troubled Countenance Because he can't his purposes advance What a deal of crossenesse is here about Religion and like to be December's Obsevations I am now beholding a pretty turbulent Face of Heaven some mischievous conspiracyes I fear are now in action and some secret evill designes at hand I am sorry I see occasions io write so often of Imprisonments though it seems to be threatned to some of the Vulgar especially about the latter end of the Month who now seem to be displeased at something acted by superiours about Religion and weighty discourses and consultation are now in Councils about the Comonalty and the Souldiers beware of Robbers on the Roads in January next probability of Snow or Rain about the 5th 19th and 29th or 30th Day Gradivus now sees louring Phaenon walk Comes to him and with angry tongues they talk One Stamps in fury speaks a frowning word The other wishes for his naked sword about the latter end of the month one of them looks like one of the Council Per Coacervationem propositionum Dialecticae Per cauâ—as Effectus Astrology gives some the foreknowledge of the times of future events

fear of God they enter into lowlines of mind When they are brought into lowliness of mind their actions are lawful and pleasing to God Therefore Astrology is lawful and pleasing to God and many have
