and 214 daies And is called the greatest and total Conjunction Which comes to pass when ♄ and ♃ i.e. Saturn and Jupiter having wandred over all the Triplicities return to the same Goal or bound from whence they first set forth And although upon all these 3 modes of Conjunctions of the supream Planets ♄ and ♃ Saturn and Jupiter alwaies some signal Changes in the world have followed yet notwithstanding they alwaies have by far been of the greatest moment which have followed the Great Conjunctions or Congressures of the third way or mode For example ☜ From the Fall of Adam there have been 7 of these Great Conjunctions Or if with Kepler and other the most famous Astrologers we may annumerate also the First in the very beginning of the world then from that time to our age are numbred 8 of that sort of Conjunctions For the first is numbered in the time of Adam upon which followed the Fall of all Mankind The second in the time of Enoch which was received with Tyranny Robberies building of Fortifications and walled Townes 3. In Noahs time which was entertained by the Deluge of waters whereby transgressors were blotted out from the face of the earth 4. In the life of Moses Which was welcomed in by the Israelites going out of Egypt the promulgation of the Law and the rise of the Commonwealth of Israel in Canaan The fifth in the daies of Isaiah upon which followed 1. The transportation of the 10 Tribes of Israel into the Land of Assyria who to this day have not returned and anon after that of the two Tribes Judah and Benjamin from whence nevertheless after 70 years Captivity they did return 6. From the time of Christ which was accompanied and followed by the rise of the Roman Empire and the total destruction of the Israelitish Commonwealth 7. From the Age of Charles the Great upon which followed the Division of the Roman Empire into Eastern and Western as also the Invasion of the Turk into the land of Promise and that Reformation sprung up in the Church whereby the Kingdom of the Apocalyptical Beast began to be obscured These things therefore being thus weighed N.B. what notable Changes these 7 former Conjunctions have brought into the world when nevertheless they consisted but of the concurse only of two or three Planets how can it be otherwise judged but that necessarily a greater change is portended under the eighth great Conjunction of them which happened in the year of Christ 1603. in Sagitarius under which we yet travel in pain and sob And so much the rather that this * By This I suppose he means this Decemb. ● 11 Anno of Chr. 166● of which he treats and by That he means that in 1603. concurrence of all the Planets in the same fiery Sign of Sagitarius followed that in so short a time For my part those thoughts I confess spring up within me That even as anciently in the Feasts of Israel and their great Solemnities which lasted eight daies it was cautioned that the last day was alwaies to be reputed for the greatest day with which the Feast was concluded Levit. 23.36 John 7.37 So also do I judge in this matter that of all these 8 great Conjunctions this last is to be accompted for the greatest After which there is nothing more certain to follow than the Period of Esaus time and the destruction of the Beasts Dominion and false Prophet That now at last the time of Jacob may succeed and the Kingdom of JESUS CHRIST and of his Saints may be established on Earth For if some greater thing is hence to be expected than ever any Conjunction afore produced what other thing can this be than the Restitution of that Kingdom so long promised and desired and which the Apostles themselves expected by Christ to be erected Acts 1.5 and the final ruine of the Kingdomes of unrighteousness in this world that another world may succeed whose Glory may be meet for God only and to him ascribed Upon the third great Conjunction aforesaid the former world perished and another came forth as if called up from the dead At the fourth Conjunction the Lord chose to himself one only Nation out of all the peoples that had in this new world corrupted themselves which he brought out of the house of Egyptian bondage and brought them into a certain Land where he himself would govern them At the Fifth Conjunction the Kingdom of Israel for the sins of that people was cleft and parted into two Kingdoms of which one was transported into Assyria not returning to this day the other into Babylon for a little time Upon the Sixth Conjunction followed the dispersion of them also which returned from Babylon which continues to this day throughout the Provinces of the Roman Empire Upon the Seventh Conjunction this very last Monarchy of the Romans underwent the same Lot as the Kingdom of Israel suffered For as this was first divided and afterwards one part of it after another was torn and carried away So this last Monarchy of the Roman Empire was first divided into Eastern and Western the first whereof the Turks now long since have invaded and possessed And what now I pray can remain to be expected upon this 8th Conjunction but that the remnant-part of the Roman Empire have the same fate as ancient Jerusalem had Truly if we consult the Writings of the Prophets and Apostles that grand and general mutation which we whether Jews or Christians do expect and is to be expected will appear to be no other than that in the room of the present Kingdoms of the world the God of Heaven will set up a Kingdom N.B. which shall dissipate all other Kingdomes Dan. 2.44 And that terrible Beast of Daniel to wit the fourth Monarchy of the world which hath troden underfoot broken and crummed the whole Earth into morsels and that little and blasphemous horn shall likewise at length being brought to Judgment be deprived of their Dominion and utterly destroyed So that at last the Kingdom and the Power and the greatness of the Kingdom which is under the whole Heaven is given to the holy people of the Most High c. Dan. 7.26 27.
