to the Government of this World but some more forcibly than others as the Superiours being forerunners of great and strange Accidents War Slaughter and Mutations I come now to speak something of the Conjunctions of Saturn and Jupiter and as for Mr. Holwels method of direction to that purpose in a Figure of the new or full Moon either next before or after it I think it not a safe way there to find the time of their Effects for by this way of direction round and round the Zodiac the Effects of a Conjunction would last to the end of the World and if all the Conjunctions which have been since the Creation should to this day work their Effects as they did at or soon after they happened what a miserable time should we now live in but they are not to last always for they are appointed for Signs and for Seasons for days and years and as he hath directed Saturn and Jupiter in their Conjunction in Sagitary Anno Dom. 1603. to the new Star which was in the year 1572. and the Ascendent and Midheaven of the new Moon before the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter 1682. directed to the same new Star is to no more effect comparatively than a man being very cold should fit by a great Fire till he had warmed and refreshed himself and many years after he being in the same Extremity with Cold and coming to the same House expecting there again to warm and refresh himself but finds neither Fire nor Inhabitants there at present nor had any been there for many years past only there remained the House empty so by this direction the House or Sign of the Zodiac may be found but the new Star long time past quite out and extinguished so are the directions to the other Promitters as erroneous and frivolous But I having been atleast twenty years a Student in Astrology and other parts of the Mathematicks I have read many Authors and discoursed with Doctor Reason and Doctor Experience and they tell me that the time of the Events of Conjunctions of the superior Planets are taken two ways that is generally and particularly first generally as to the time of the whole duration of their effects take this for a general Rule that the effects of the Conjunction of any of the superior Planets continue in force but until another Conjunction of them happen which is in about twenty years and then their effects will alter according to the nature of the Sign in which it happens consideration being had to their Position and other Configurations so that the effects of that Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Sagitary in the year 1603. so much spoken of by Mr. Holwel in his Catastrophe Mundi ended in the year 1623. for at that time there was a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Leo whose effects also ended in the year 1643. and the more fully there then happening a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Pisces a Sign of the watry Triplicity whose effects lasted but to the year 1663. for then hapned another Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Sagitary whose effects were not different from that in 1603. I mean in their own Nature and not as the many Eclipses solar Ingresses and other Configurations altered them and their effects ceased when the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter hapned in October 1682. and was the first of the Triple Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Leo which hapned then and in the following year under whose effects we now are and shall so be until the year 1702 and their effects in their own nature are not like to be much different from that which hapned in the year 1623 only this in 1682. is of far greater force it being a Triple Conjunction and therefore its effects will be more powerful The effects of the Conjunctions of the Superior Planets are commonly Seditions Troubles Mutations Wars Subversions of Monarchies Kingdoms States alterations of Laws Customs Priviledges Treacheries Treasons and sometimes the Death of Emperors Kings Princes Potentates and Powers and thus much of the general Operation now we come to the particular And the better to judge of the future effects of the Conjunctions of Saturn and Jupiter in Leo in the years 1682. and 1683. let us look back into History and see what hath hapned under such Conjunctions already past and thereby we shall be the better able to judge of their following significations In the year Anno Christi 35. being but one year after the Death and Passion of our Saviour Jesus Christ there was a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Leo and then the Jews waxed bitter cruel against the Disciples of our Saviour for after the death of Christ the Holy Spirit falling on them they boldly profess what they had seen and heard and that openly and Stephen being chosen to perform Holy Service in the Company of the Christians because he fervently imployed himself in publishing the Glory of Christ being laid hold on by envious Persons was stoned to death and from that time the chief of the Jews endeavoured all they could to blot out the name of the Christians by what means they could but especially Saul breathed out threatnings against them who having the largest Power made over to him from the high-Priest he then bended toward Damascus that he might oppress them but in his Journey he was affrighted and being struck to the Earth he is converted and suddenly applied himself wholly to the Worship of Christ This hapned in the third year after the death of Christ and the first after the Conjunction And this is a very good Example of what is now coming on after the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Leo 1682. for Jupiter being a Significator of the Christian Religion and afflicted by the body of Saturn in Leo the House of the Sun another Significator of the Christian Religion and Saturn being Significator of the Turks may well stir them up against Christendom Saturn being the most superiour Planet put great and haughty thoughts of conquering the Christians into the Turks malicious minds But I suppose that neither the Turk nor Mr. Holwel thought of nor considered that Saturn was weak in Leo and disposed of by the Sun Significator of both the Christians and their Religion for all that Saturn can do in Leo is but to stir up Christian Emperours Kings Princes and Governours to purge out all the dangerous dregs of obstinate Dissenters and Fanaticism and those of every wicked principle contrary to the well-being of Government and that in all parts of Christendom but especially in those places under the Sign Leo also to those in Sextile or Trine to it which are Aries Gemini Libra and Sagitarius so that all Countries and Cities under those Signs will in some way or other receive benefit by the means of this Conjunction rendring the Regal power like the Sun glorious and splendid but I doubt of the Conversion of the Turks under such
