A50702	Catastasis mundi, or, The true state, vigor, and growing greatness of Christendom, under the influences of the last triple conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Leo, the late comet, &c. together with the true genitures of Mahomet the imposter, the Grand Seignior, the German Emperour, the French monarch : proving thence that the Turks will be defeated in all their attempts against Christendom, &c., notwithstanding Mr. Holwel's menaces to the contrary in his Catastrophe mundi, and his appendix thereunto : also the said Holwel's monstrous falshoods and errours discovered, retorted, and confuted, and himself remitted to the Turks, to comfort them now after their losses before Vienna / by John Merrifield ...

years I wonder from what Author he had them but I suppose this is one of his own new Inventions and like his Directions of the Othoman Family being taken four years before it began as may be seen in his Appendix page the fifth and about the year 1175. this Faith was at the highest for then the Othoman Family were much increased and setled their Religion by a Law which I confess was before this time done or else this had been but a birth of this Religion and because God hath said in the Holy Scriptures that all Nations shall be converted to the Christian Faith before the Day of Judgment therefore we will consider about what time this Faith may have a Dissolution which according to the Rules of Astrology and secondary Causes if we add 584. the greater years of Mars and the Moon to 1175. it will make 1759. so that about the year Anno Christi 1759. we may expect the Dissolution of the Turks Faith for I would have Mr. Holwel as well as my Reader know that as any Religion hath a rising and increasing before it comes to its full height so it will have the like time of Diminishing before it can have its full Dissolution CHAP. IV. Treating of the Nativity of the present Emperor of Germany IN this Chapter I will first shew you how that Mr. Holwel in his Appendix tells us that this present Emperor of Germany was born on the thirtieth Day of May in the year 1640. at nine hours three minutes past Meridiem or after Noon in the Latitude of 48 Degrees and that he had seven Degrees and forty five Minutes of Scorpio on the Mid-heaven and Jupiter in four Degrees and fifty four Minutes of Capricorn as may be seen in his Scheme which he affirms to be the true one because saith he it was rectified by the Mid-heaven to the Square of Saturn and Jupiter and the Square of the Moon at which time saith he the Emperor and Empire had much Suffering for the Turks did invade him but behold his grand Mistake for I will appeal to all Artists how the Mid-heaven can come to the Square of Jupiter as he is posited in less than 150 years whereas it was directed to the Square of Saturn and the Moon about the twenty fourth year of his Age and therefore in the year 1664. but any thing will serve with such Artists to fill a Book good enough for ignorant People to read and admire for it is nothing with too many now a days of our Godly Traitors Sanctified Hypocrites Religious Atheists and Protestant Turks as Mr. Pelling titles the Fanaticks in the twelfth page of his Sermon preached on the ninth of September 1683. being a day of Thanks-giving for deliverance from the Fanarick Conspiracy to blast the Honour of Christian Kings and Potentates especially those of other Nations when they can scarce forbear our own but I will forbear to speak any more of this Mistake and proceed to a greater This Nativity published by Mr. Holwel is taken out of Mr. Gadburies Book of Comets only the time a little altered and it is the true Day but not the true Hour as hath been proved by Mr. Gadbury since he wrote that Book for any one that hath had any Discourse with any man that hath seen him or hath but seen his Effigie may very easily conjecture that this noble Emperor hath not Capricorn ascending on his Horoscope but rather Gemini and therefore I will insert a Scheme of the true time of this Emperors Birth which is as followeth and given me also by Mr. Gadbury himself Leopoldus the present Emperor of Germany was born May the 30th 4 h. Ante Mer. Lat. 48. This present Emperor of Germany was born the thirtieth day of May in the year of our Lord 1640. at four a Clock in the Morning and christened Leopoldus Ignatius Franciscus Balthazer Joseph Falicimus in the City of Vienna At the birth of this Magnanimous Prince Gemini was on the Horoscope and the Sun in the Ascendent and Mercury Lord of the Ascendent in his own House and in the Sign of the Ascendent which are testimonies of the greatest Honour Dignity and Soveraignty and though Saturn Mars and the Moon be in the Mid-heaven yet will they not destroy the Natives Honour and Grandeur because they are not afflicted for Saturn is Lord of the tenth House and Mars and the Moon are in trine to the Sun in the Ascendent from the Mid-heaven which are rather testimonies of Honour than Disgrace and here we have Mercury Lord of the Ascendent stronger than Jupiter Lord of the Seventh the House of publick Enemies which is an eminent token that his publick Enemies shall not prevail against him yet his Position in the twelfth House may shew the Native to have many Enemies the rather being in square to Saturn but Mercury is strongest in the Figure therefore as aforesaid his Enemies can never prevail against him for the Lord of the Seventh is weak and in his fall neither can I suppose the Native to die in Battle as Mr. Holwel awards because the Lord of the Eighth doth not afflict either the Ascendent or the Moon nor is there any signification of a violent Death he hath about this time the Mid-heaven directed to the Sextile of Venus Lady of the sixth House a glorious Direction shewing that his Servants and Subjects will be faithful to him so that he need not neither will he fear either Turk or Tartar nor yet the power of Mahomet the Treachery of Count Teckely or Mr. Holwels idle Predictions nor yet any other of Mahomets lying Prophets whatsoever they shall write or predict against Christendom but let such Predictors know that God hath a Divine Providence over Christendom and will not suffer the name of Christ to be destroyed but this Emperor hath had many ill Directions in his Life past and he hath also had many Controversies and Troubles answerable to them but the main cause of this his present trouble is that he hath Lately had the Sun and Ascendent both directed to the 60 Anticians of Jupiter the Significator of the Christian Religion and I think he hath not been free from trouble since he had the Mid-heaven directed to the Square of the Sun and the Moon to the Square of Jupiter which was about ten years since and it is much to be feared he will not be free from trouble until he hath passed the Mid-heaven to the Square of Jupiter which will be about the year 1688. yet before that time he hath good Directions for about the year 1685. he hath the Moon to the Sextile of the Sun and the Sun to the Sextile of Venus Directions good enough in a mean Nativity to raise a Beggar to good Preferment much more in a Regal Nativity to give a King or Emperor Victory over his Enemies to a great degree of Worship and Adoration from all kinds of People The Moon directed to the Sextile of
