A91502	Mene mene, tekel upharsin. The second part of Mene tekel, treating of the year MDCLXXXIX. : And modestly shewing what may probably be conjectured to succeed in the affairs of Europe in general, and of England, Holland, Scotland, and France in particular; with something also about the affairs of Ireland, and the French King's forces there. : To which is added a treasonable paper dispersed among the papists, by J. Gadbury, with some reflections thereon, and also on his almanack for 1689. / By John Partridge.	Partridge, John, 1644-1715.; Gadbury, John, 1627-1704.	1689 (1689)	Wing P619A; ESTC R203323	33,895	50

soon after will either desert and leave them or else forbear to act as they had done before in short the Effects of this Revolution will frown on their Affairs and the Conclusion of all will be sharp and fatal notwithstanding there may be much Blood spilt and a great deal of Confusion Destruction and Ruin but let this be our Comfort that it will be the Ruin of those that began it and the Destruction that they intended will fall upon themselves and the Snare they laid will catch their own Feet Thirdly We may observe that Mars is just before the Ingress turned Retrograde in Taurus his Detriment this shews that the Arms and Warlike Affairs of some Prince or other are grown scandalous by their ill Success and the Fate that attends them their Reputation declines and themselves grow diffident of their own Courage and Conduct and yet this is but the beginning of it to the purpose we shall hear more hereafter In the Figure we find the Moon in exact Trine to the tenth House a popular Position and will be of good Consequence in whose Nativity it shall have a proportional one like it But for the rest of the Positions I see none good they all being according to the principal Motion inclined to what is violent and troublesome I might have spoke of the Square of Mars and Venus in the Zodiack the Mundane Parallel of Jupiter and Mars the Mundane Square of the Moon and Mars and the Moon and Saturn but the Effects of them being couched in the Judgment of the other Rays and Motions it would have been but so much time protracted in my Writing and your Reading and therefore omitted as needless and inconvenient Honest J. Gadbury in his Judgment of the Scheam of this Ingress which is indeed very short gives the same Judgment as he did of this Summer Quarter before it that it will be attended with very bad weather I doubt his head was full of Vapors when he wrote that and that he had the sound of the Confusion of Popery in his Cranium which it seems he mistook and thought it had been nothing more but the Concussion of the Elements and a fit of an Ague in the Air. Ah John what pity it was that your Catholick Soul should be thus deceived what Pennance must you undergoe for it why really I think instead of keeping one Whore as you used to do formerly for this offence you ought to keep half a dozen remember the Nosegay The whole considered together and applyed to particulars of Men and Things c. IN the preceding discourse I have given you the General of their Effects according to the Order and Course of Nature that may be expected in those Countrys where the God of Nature hath designed them to spend their Power and Influence this perhaps might suffice it being the Common Method that is used by those who call themselves Astrologers but I will endeavour to come nearer to the Agent and Patient and give it more particular as to Countrys Princes People and Things where these Effects before mentioned may probably terminate and who they are that are like to be passive under them The Eclipse of the Moon which was in March was celebrated in the 16 degree of Libra under that Sign is some part of Germany and also some parts of Turkey which may expect to feel some of its Effects but it more immediately concerns the Kings of Spain and Denmark for it falls in the Mid-Heaven of the King of Spains Nativity and Saturn at the same time on his Radical Horoscope in Square to his Mid-Heaven these Positions will give some Disturbance either to his Health or Government perhaps both In the King of Denmarks Nativity this Eclipse falls in his Horoscope and Saturn at the same time in Opposition and Mars in Square to his Radical Sun this shews rather Injury to his Subjects and Commotion in some of his Territories than Sickness to his Person because neither Sun nor Horoscope are Givers of Life in his Radical Figure But it will certainly give some Commotion in the Dominions of the Grand Signior for according to Ptolomy's Doctrine part of his Dominons are under Venus and Libra and more also of those Eastern Countreys the Eclipse also particularly concerns the late King for Evil and not for Good for Saturn is there on the place of his Radical Sun and also the Moon is in Opposition to his Mid-Heaven and Hileg At the Solstitial Ingress we find the Sun and Mars in Square from the beginning of Aries and Cancer under these two Signs are England Holland Scotland France and also some parts of Germany These Countrys according to their General Capacities and Qualifications for War seem to approach toward Action and that considerably too the English French and Dutch for Sea Action the Germans and Scots for Land. At the New Moon preceding the Ingress the Sun was in the Eleventh in a Western Sign and in a South-East part of Heaven Mars was in a South-West quarter this shews some Action by Sea West or South-West from England and this about the time of the Ingress and also about the middle of July when the Sun comes to the Square of Saturn so likewise in the South-West part of Germany by land about those times neither will the Kingdom of Scotland be idle This Aspect happening from Cardinal Signs will make the Action and Effects the more famous and considerable and the rather because the Sun and Mars are Essentially strong Mars in his own House and the Sun in Cancer in reception with the Moon in Leo and to shew it will be something of Violence the Moon at the same Time is on the Ecliptical place of the last Conjunction 1682 c. and for an Argument of the French Tyrant being concern'd be pleased to consider that Mars is in Conjunction with the Sun in his Revolution and Saturn exactly on the place of his pars fortunae and now stationary on the place of his Sun by Direction at the time of this Square the Sun is on the King of Denmarks Mid-Heaven and Mars on his seventh House in a Mundane and Zodiacal Square which may also give him some Action either by Sea or Land or both On July the 12th the Sun comes to a Square of Saturn from the beginning of Leo and Scorpio this doth particularly Affect the late King and gives disturbance to his Mind as well as Opposition and want of Success in his Affairs because Saturn is on the Radical place of his Sun and the Sun on the Radical place of his Moon in the Ecliptick In the beginning of August there is an Opposition of Saturn and Mars from the beginning of Taurus and Scorpio the Sun at the same time in Opposition to Jupiter from Leo and Aquary This doth particularly concern that King last mentioned now in Ireland for Saturn is on the place of his Radical Sun Mars in Opposition to it this gives all

Sun in a certain Persons Nativity who is now in Tribulation At the Postventional Full Moon we find there the Moon to be separating from the Square of Mars and applying to the Body of the Sun and next after that to the Square of Saturn the Sun is in Domo Octava and the Moon in Secunda and she in that part of Heaven having at the Full Moon five degrees of South Latitude made her within Rays of the Square of Saturn so that we may conclude both the Preventional New and Postventional Full Moons do exactly agree with the Figure of the Ingress here before us and do really agree in describing the Circumstantial Adjuncts likely to attend this Quarter which is indeed like to be ushered in with Violence and violent Actions and therefore let those that are like to suffer therein take care how they manage their ticklish Fortune for here is such Work approaching that is not to be dallied with and he that once plays and loseth seldom or never comes to his Stake again Having already said how the Preventional and Postventional New and Full Moon agree with the Figure of the Ingress I come now to insist on the Figure it self and the various Positions Aspects c. therein contained And the first thing to be considered is what is like to be the Effects of this Quarter in the general for here we find as perhaps some will say no Extraordinary Positions to give Violence because the Sun is in Trine to Jupiter and Saturn and the Moon in no evil Aspect except by her Latitude in Opposition to Jupiter from the first and seventh houses And now going to the Sextile of Saturn and the Sun all that is may they say is the Sun in square to Mars in the Ascendent Alas they that expect to find Causes in Mundane Ingresses to predict or forshew Actions of that kind of quality that we must now expect are extreamly deceived and cheated for in all things of this Nature we must first consider the Motion of the Superiors Saturn and Jupiter for they are the Salt or Leaven of the World and from their Motion proceeds the variety of those Causes which Mankind oftentimes so severely feels and indeed it is that and that only which is equal in another branch of this Study to the primary Directions and these Ingresses are but like Revolutions that may either abate or aggravate the Direction in its time and quality of Operation but whether the Revolution or Ingress concur or not the Direction certainly works without it and therefore we are not beholden to the Figure of the Ingress for discovering to us the Cause of Mutations Wars c. but the time when God and Nature think fit to obtrude them upon us Hence therefore be pleased to consider that there have been three Squares of Saturn and Jupiter and the last of them was last January Saturn being then in Square and Jupiter in Opposition to the last Conjunction in ♌ in the year 1682 / 3 and this also on the place and square to it of the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in October preceding and in the end of March last there was also a Square of Saturn and Mars the latter of which was then in Opposition to the place of the last Conjunction and to the Ecliptical place of the Moon in this Figure and you see that altho matters and things have been working yet they have not produced any thing material more than preparation for Action and Things of a greater Nature and this not only in this part of Europe but also in Spain and Germany and the parts adjacent There are other things that are to be considered in this Judgment but because they will occasionally fall in with other matters in this discourse therefore I omit to mention them for these are the principal that I have already noted and according to the Method I and all others that pretend to Astrology do or ought to proceed in their judging Mundane Revolutions concerning Wars Plagues Mutations of Government Abdication of Kings Plenty Famine c. Therefore in the first place we shall confider what may be the Consequence of this triple Square of Saturn and Jupiter of which the two first were from Libra and Capricorn the one an Equinoctial and the other a Tropical Sign but the last was from Scorpio and Aquary two fixed rough succedent Signs from whence I draw this Judgment that the first two thirds of their Effects shall be quick noble and glorious mighty things soon dispatch'd and done and the reason is because they were from Cardinal Signs but the last part will be slow tedious and full of labour apt to go sometimes backwards and sometimes forward and variety of success attend it Now for a proof of this let us look back to the Conjunction of the two Superiors in 1623 in Leo and observe when they made their Square which was but a single one and that from the Ends of Libra and Capricorn in the Month of February in the year 1629 and compare that and its Effects then with these three now and the prospect of things likely to attend us at this time and then say whether like Causes have not like Effects for in 1629 the Hollanders took the Hertogenbosch stom the Spaniards and also many of their Ships the Janizaries quarrel with the Grand Signior the Polanders make peace with the Sweeds A Great Diet at Prague the Kings of England and France make peace having together destroyed the poor Protestants at Rochel The French make great preparations of War against Italy and in the beginning of the Next year the King of Swedland did Invade the Empire and took Francfort upon Odor and Lantsberg c. How England stood affected at that time and what the Designs of the then King were your own Histories will inform you I have onely given you those that were forreign Thus you see the same Kingdoms and Countries were concerned in Action at that time as are now but the Quarrels and pretences different yet the Popish Crew then in Spain France and Germany were for rooting out the Protestants and the Protestant Religion and yet we even we are for succouring and defending them tho I thank God I am of another perswasion These things considered are sufficient to prove the Position that I laid down before that like Causes have like Effects and that the Motion of the Superior Stars are to be considered in the publick Affairs of the World c. But I must turn into my way again this discourse being not exactly pertinent to the Affairs in Hand Haly an old Arabian and one well acquainted with this kind of Doctrine tell us Significat quod existant rebelles qui adversabuntur regie qui quaerunt regnum Etian significat Mutationes res multas in negotiis regis similiter in Lege says he the Square of Saturn and Jupiter signifies that people shall rise against their King and

is over and ended which will not be quickly Secondly Observe That it was after a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Leo Anno 1623 that the Papists used all their Endeavours to bring in that most abominable Perswasion into England under the Notion of Religion and to set it up by the Power of Law upon which Endeavours of theirs there began and continued so cruel a War in this Nation between two Parties the one to bring in Popery and the other to keep it out that the like had not been known in many Ages and now under such a Conjunction as that was we have the like thing attempted over again and it had succeeded too had not the Almighty appeared for us in a wonderful manner Twit us no more about your Forty One For they that twitted us have us outdone Again observe that when Saturn and Mars came to a Conjunction in Aquary in 1640 in Opposition to the place of that Conjunction in 1623 there was indeed three Conjunctions of Saturn and Mars then as now three Oppositions immediately after the next Opposition that most horrid Murder of the Protestants in Ireland was acted which began on the 23d of October 1641 and lasted a Month in which Action the Bloody Papists used such Barbarities that one would think it could not enter into the Heart or Mind of Mankind to think or contrive but it is such a Religion that if the Priest says they must murder their Fathers Mothers Brothers or Sisters being Protestants they think their disobeying him will incur Damnation such is the Ignorance and Folly of those who are Bigots to Priests I say in this Massacre they ripped up Women with Child and cruely murdered the Infants set Men up to the Neck in Earth and play'd Bowls at their Heads and when they had done leave them to die at leisure strip Men and Women and drive them naked into the Field being Winter and there let them starve with Hunger and Cold take fat Men and kill them and with their Fat make Candles to say Mass by murder the Parents before the Children to terrify them and the Children before the Parents to do the like go into Cities and commit all the Villanies and Outrages imaginable and then take with them what number of both Sexs they pleased to hang murder torture or otherwise to use them as they according their Irish Sense Discretion and Mercy thought convenient and in this Condition were the poor Protestants in that Kingdom at that time for the space of a Month and more till they had murdered about two hundred thousand And this is the Condition that poor Nation is now in again at this time being fallen into the Hands of a merciless Enemy full of Rage Barbarity and Revenge till God in his Mercy and good time will deliver them I hope by the same Hand that he hath delivered us And assure your selves that if ever you permit Popery to enter into this Nation again for I see some are whining after it you must expect no other Favour Mercy nor Kindness from their Priests and Governors bind them never so secure by Oaths and Promises but Fire Fagot Gibbet and all other kind of Tortures Ruins Dragooning and whatever the Irish Papists gave the Protestants in 1641 so that if you like it on those terms you may as soon as you please submit fetter your selves and lay your Throats to the Knife for that must be the Effect and Consequence of bringing in Popery a Popish Government and Papists into England tho perhaps many may believe that they can bring it in so far as they please and no farther but let none trust to that for we have of late seen a large and almost a dear-bought Experiment I come now to the Revolution and Ingress of the Sun into Libra to speak something to that and so hasten to what I have promised and design'd In that Figure we may observe that the Moon is separated from the Square of the Sun and Mercury and Sextile of Saturn and Trine of Mars and is now by her Latitude in exact Mundane Square to Saturn and Mars which shews the Position to be violent and something agreeable to the other Figures that we have before considered and Jupiter upon the opposite place of the last great Conjunction in 1682 and in this Figure in an exact Mundane Parallel both with Saturn and Mars and in Opposition to Mars who is on the Cusp of the second in a certain Persons Nativity and the Sun here in Opposition also to his Part of Fortune hence we may judg First The Breach of some private Treaty because Saturn and Mars are in the Houses of Embassies Leagues and Ambassadors the Sun and Mercury in the ninth House the Angle of Journeys and the Moon on the Cusp of the second in Capricorn a Moveable Tropical Cardinal Sign it also may as probably be the discovery of some Traiterous Design that hath been going on for some time but this I dare assert that about the time of the Ingress or a little after it you will certainly hear of the Dissolution of some Treaty or the end of some Debate without Effect that was carrying on in order to some great Affairs or else some Treachery and Villany discovered about the Affairs of Ireland that hath been long in Agitation and contriving and now at last proves Abortive and of no Service to them that did endeavour and attempt the effecting of that precious Work and all this seems the rather probable because the Moon did last of all separate from Mars in the fifth House Retrograde and afflicted Besides this will divide the Councils and confound the Projects of an evil sort of People that are restless and contriving the Ruin of all those that are not of their wicked Perswasion and this seems to attend them as a Curse intailed on their Endeavours and Attempts in general and is like to continue for the Sun who is here in a particular way a Significator of them is in Conjunction with Mercury and they both going to a Zodiacal Parallel with Saturn and Mars Secondly We may judg that a certain Prince his Affairs go on very evil his Treasure very low and his Friends grow fewer than ever for Saturn in the eleventh House hath Signification of the Treasury an Exchequer of Princes their Council and Assistants Supplies of Mony and those Noble Men that attend their Courts now Saturn is here their Significator and in a very ill Condition for he is Perigrine in Opposition of Mars and Square to the Moon these Positions shew as ill things to attend him as possible can be for it doth not only shew him poor but also like to continue in that Capacity and Condition it makes their Councils treacherous and divided and what is worse the best of their Councils and Advice will be in the general frustrate and fruitless and divers of those Noble Men and Gentlemen about the time of the Ingress or
