and at last he shall settle the distracted condition of many Nations in peace If the rules of the Antients hold true we must adjudge happiness to England therefore let no true English heart fail him or be much troubled with the rumour of the Times or be weary in assisting his Majesty in person or purse for at the Suns entrance into Aries there is the most promising position of Heaven for his Majesties successes against all Enemies whatsoever that yet hath been since the Wars we have had be they Dutch Dane or French And we may judge the greatest Transactions of Europe and of highest concernment will be managed by his Majesty of England his Counsellors and Conductors both as to War and Peace with great m●gnanimity and haughtiness of Spirit as unto the Martial part and with as great Gravity and Prudence on the Civil And although the general Affairs of Christendom seem to be managed something confusedly yet in England they are carried on with great courage and vivacity of Spirit with sincerity and upright hearts and intentions In some Countries matters are carried on with high words and great brags and boastings in other places with nothing but deceit fraud juggling and underhand dealing in other places with subtle delayes Treacheries and feigned devices however great preparations are ordering as well for Sea as for Land for the major part of this year we must expect Military actions And truly some high design will be in hand which will almost put the world to a stand what it may be if it be lawfull to conjecture the series of it we have great confidence that the whole Honour and Glory of that action that design or designs be they by Sea or Land shall redown'd unto the high Renown and Honour of his Majesty of Great Brittain and to his Naval Forces whereever engaged and against whatsoever Enemy or Enemies either Dutch Dane or French and this to the great comfort of all his Majesties loving Subjects for the configurations of Heaven were never more propitious for advancement of the whole British affaires then in this year 1667. All the Planets argue that neither the Hollander or their Confederate the French though highly industrious and Active are very ready or well provided for any action toward the Spring yet as was said before they use great industry but whoever fight against Providence are sure to be worsted and vanquished as we do not question both Dutch and French will be whenever they shall dare either singly or joyntly to incounter his Majesties Navy or Navies Nay more probably the Plague is like to come among the Hollanders both into their Cities and Towns and Ships amongst their Seamen then follows a consumption and decay of their Estates and Fortunes in all the habitable parts of the World wheresoever they Traffick Besides they are threatned with irreconcileable differences and discords amongst their Principal Officers and Grandees as also commotions and murmurings in the vulgar sort of people nay perhaps one Province against another True it is the Heavens seem to give hopes of accommodation in the present War with Holland and France if we could believe the Hollanders were as yet sufficiently chastised for their former insolencies or had suffered that measure of misfortune which Providence hath assigned for them both by a fearfull Plague Pestilence Insurrections Deluges by Inundations and drowning part of their Territories scarcity of all sorts of Provisions loss in their Fishing-trade loss of their Navies and Merchants Ships in all and every Place Kingdom and Country A wilfull and obstinate people they are signified to be in not embracing those gracious opportunities of Peace which otherwise might be obtained from his Majesty of Great Britain It s probable they expect or are in hopes of assistance from the French King and Denmark and perhaps ayd is intended them but it seems for a time either retarded or their Ally not capable in condition or may stand upon some Articles or Covenants not before mentioned or thought upon And we say further that Providence it is like directs his Majesties Forces or Navies so happily that they keep Mounsieur from acting or joyning with them so that the Holl●nder shall meet with all manner of impediments hinderances and delayes in all their Affairs and a general ill disposition of whatever belongs to them in their own Dominions And that their Rich men their Antient men their Ministers their Boores or Rustical people their Mariners and Sea-faring men every one in his kind will be weary of this their War with England Et blasphemabunt se invicem viz. They will blaspheme and curse one another and all those who at first introduced them to this fatal and unlucky War And shortly after in his discourse upon the Ingress of the Sun into Cancer the 11th of June he saith If the Lord God in mercy to the Hollanders incline not their hearts to mediate for Peace ere this time as there is no great probability they will then is their Condition represented to be sad within a few months following For saith he that King who rules over Gemini and that is the King of England shall be exalted or much magnified and shall be Victorious over his Enemies In his Monthly Observations are these passages Many reports fly abroad as if some Treaty for Peace were in hand People willingly embrace that Intelligence but time makes it appear a Vapour Our Enemies have not yet had a sufficient share of the second Comets influence let them expect it with a sad interest in this Summer but we may expect an happy Unity among our selves and perceive Gods mercies generally to smile upon the Actions of his Majesty and Grand Affairs of the whole Nation infinitely to the satisfaction of all sober persons An appearance of drawing Forces into Normandy the French King being active but Providence seems to contradict his intentions and the prudence of his Majesty of England prevents all fear of French Invasion Whether the French King resolve upon War or Peace is no matter if his Navies will peep out of their Harbours they must return home again if they can but assuredly destruction or captivity or sinking will be the final end of most of those who shall encounter his Majesty of Great Britains Sea Forces this year And in March he saith thus The Monarch of Great Britain seems in greatest readiness for Action and best provided The Dutch fearfull of a Plague and Consumption of their Seamen nor in a present capacity of undertaking any great design The French seem at a stand some emergent misfortune having happened unto them or feared to happen among themselves suddenly Ne verbum quidem de Dano The Dane cannot get out of his Harbors No peny no Pater-nosters The Swedish Nation seem the most active of all Europe and there is reason for some violent storm is like to break forth upon them from a barbarous people if not prevented The Amsterdam Merchants as also the
