A35358	Catastrophe magnatum, or, The fall of monarchie a caveat to magistrates, deduced from the eclipse of the sunne, March 29, 1652, with a probable conjecture of the determination of the effects / by Nich. Culpeper, Gent. ...	Culpeper, Nicholas, 1616-1654.	1652 (1652)	Wing C7485; ESTC R2956	55,961	84

put them together for fear they should fall out but speak of each of them in a part by it self Of the Conjunction of Saturne and Jupiter PART I. Had it not been unavoidable to my present discourse I would not so much as have mentioned this great and rare Conjunction rare because the world never saw the like great because rare and the reason why I would not have mentioned it is because Master Lilly hath so learnedly Treated of it in his Prophetical Merlin in which you shall finde this speech not to be despised The first restitution of the Firy Trigon in the Conjunction of Saturne and Jupiter happened in Enochs time The second at the universal Deluge The third in the delivery from the Egyptian Bondage The fourth in the Persian Monarchy The fifth in the time of Christ and the Roman Empire The sixth in Charles the great And now the seventh hath a secret mystery of Sabbatisme in it and promiseth some thing of more singular moment to the world then the other Thus Master Lilly very learnedly and as truly wrote To this give me leave to add one speech of the Jewish Rabbies That as God made the world in six dayes and rested the seventh so the world should enjoy six thousand yeers of trouble and one thousand or Sabbaticall time of rest as God rested the seventh day so shall the world have a thousand yeers of rest after six thousand of trouble in which time the kingdoms of the world should become the Kingdoms of our God and of his Christ Neither is this much disconsonant from that of the Apostle Rom. 8. 19 21 c. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God Because the creature it self also shall be dilivered from bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God c. I do not desire to be accounted a Prophet nor do I plead revelations for what I write yet a little time may prove me to be no lyar I shall onely quote you what a few Authors say of this Conjunction Campanella saith That the Conjunction of Saturne and Jupiter under the fourth triplicity which is inimicall to the first triplicity the prerogative of Monarchy will be so shaken that it will neuer be able to stand upright more nor perhaps ever did in conditions dreadful heresies anglicè excellent truths will begin to appear and be protected by force of armes faith is enlarged more by the sword then by miracles new Religions arise and set a period to the austerity of the former as much as if he had said Knowledge begins to break through the clouds of ignorance yet will all this be to a good intent because the Stars only incline but it is in the use of mans liberty to use this inclination either to good or bad Blame me not for being a little copious upon this Conjunction for without the due consideration of this it is impossible I should judge rightly of the Eclipse of the Sun and I must be a little critical against all Authors I hope Master Lilly will pardon me if I dissent a little from him if he may freely write his own judgement why may not I by the same rule The Conjunction of Saturne and Iupiter calculated by the Rudolphine Tables it seems happened in the second house I shall not be very critical against either the truth of the Rudolphine Tables nor yet at the ability of Master Matthew Fisk that calculated them whose noble spirit is returned to God that gave it neither will I exclaime upon other Authors as Noel Durret Argol and others all which differ in time yet not so much in that as Master Fiske and Sir Christopher Heydon differed in the calculation of that in 1603. By Argols computation it should be in the ninth house Argol might be a little mistaken and the effects shall prove before they are half over that it happened in the tenth and the figure not much different from that of this Eclipse I cannot at this time stand to give you my reasons let experience be judge Time will tell truth when I may not Besides since the time of this Conjunction never more never greater Phaenomena's have been seen in the aire never more Parelii or mock-Suns or Paraselenes or mock-Moons have been seen in England since Iohn of Gaunt or William the bastard then have been seen in one yeer not a yeer hath past our heads but more then one of them hath appeared besides other supernatural sights and rest confident more yet to come and if ever God shewed any thing in vaine this is the first time that ever he did it To proceed when the two superiors returned to the watry triplicity dreadful Wars are stirred up for Religion or by the Clergy as many Religions appear in a Nation as there are haires upon a mans head strange Engines are invented for war the sword famine and pestilence afflict the earth If the Conjunction happen in Pisces as this last did and not far distant from Aries neither the Clergy are reformed pray God they do not reform them all away new opinions vex the Church Heresies arise as the Ranters did now The Signe is double bodied and people do all with a double heart or as the Hebrew hath it with a heart and a heart so that we may truly say by the effects of this Conjunction as David Psal. 12. 1. Help Lord for the godly man ceaseth and the faithful fail from among the children of men they speak vanity every one with his neighbour with flattering lips and with a heart and a heart But the Lord will cut off all flattering lips and the tongue that speaks proud things The first we know to be true the second I expect However this is certain Pisces being the house of a superior Planet and neer at hand to Aries common people will carry themselves in more then an ordinary Majestical way If their Taskmasters set them to make brick and give them no straw they will rebel And just in the nick of time when they are in such a humor cometh this Eclipse of the Sun which what it will produce more anon as also three Oppositions of Saturn and Iupiter which will kindle such a fire in Europe between the Magistrates Ministers and common People which all the water in the Sea is not able to quench Besides Albumazar saith that if the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter happen in Scorpio or Pisces the effects thereof will work but slowly And that haply may be the reason the effects of this Eclipse appeared in their colours no sooner But if all the powers of heaven can blowe the coals to make them burn this Eclipse of the Sun will do it and the bellows will blowe the better because Mars in this Conjunction of Saturn and Iupiter was in Quartile to the Sun and now Lord of this Eclipse From these Principles thus considered let us build a little rational

to woods the Kings house in Bohemia was fired none knowes how frequent fires were all over Germany the King of Hungary who is a branch of the house of Austria died the Duke of Saxony takes his leave of this world and turns private man in another Ferdinand beseiges Buda in Hungary but insteed of taking the towne he lost his army first and his life afterward by the Turke the Emperour must needs be in armes forsooth and whither must he goe but to Algier but there comes a tempest and stops the mans course a hundred and thirty ships he lost himselfe entered battle both with the danger of the sea and hunger both at a time at length when no other good was to be don he gathers up the reliques of his forlorne creatures and returns home like a foole as he came forth and thus much for my second part namely what authors of credit have left to posterity concerning the effects of Eclipses of the Sun in Aries upon which in civility you cannot deny me that small curtesie as to give my own animadversions First you see here that the Priests have been the creatures that have made all the scuffle in the world in the effects of these Eclipses t is their turbulent spirits and sophistical language that caused so many mournful widows and woful fatherless children so much murther and bloodshed in those parts where the effects of the Eclipses operated he that hath but half an eye may see what they have acted in this Nation in these late unhappy wars it s in vain for them to prate to me that they never fight as some of them have said there is a pretty fable in Esop to this purpose After the winning of a battel the conquering party took a Trumpeter prisoner and when they would have executed him he prayed them for Gods sake they would not hang him for he never fought in all his life but said they thou cowardly rascal with thy Trumpet thou incitest others to fight I leave the Clergy of this Nation that are guilty of the business to make the moral themselves t is easily done Pilate had never condemned Christ had it not been for the Scribes Pharisees and Priests but was almost forced by them to do it Pilate knew as well as I that he was guiltless but being a faint hearted base spirited fellow and least he should be thought not to be Caesars friend crucified the Lord of Glory I pray God in these our daies in which the end of the world is coming fellows of that jackcoat be not neer of kin to the frogs men ioned in the Revelations 16. 13 14. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the Dragon and out of the mouth of the Beast and out of the mouth of the false Prophet for they are the spirits of devils working miraecles which go forth unto the Kings of the Earth and of the Whole world to gather them together to the battel of that great day of God Almighty look to it Priests look to it people the time is a coming and if you look not to it these lines of mine shall one day leave you without excuse build not your faith upon tradition in the latter times it will be a hard matter to discover who is a Saint who is not even such times in which if it were possible they would deceiv the elect if they could be deceived the times will be sharp they will be short for ought I know we are upon the beginings of them I would fain know of all our Priests who unless the Devil chained Divinity to an University I hate such creatures I cannot call them men that when they have learned a great deal of Sophistry and know well how to quible handsomely upon a point and have read Augustine and Cyprian and Nazianzene and Bazil and a great many other old Fathers then they say they have gotten the body of Divinity truly I have read many of them my self but could never see Christ with such a pair of spectacles the Theory of the Gospel I know t is onely Iesus Christ and him crucified and the indwelling of the spirit of God in man but what the practical part is I am as yet ignorant my opinion at present is that t is something more plain and simple then the world takes it to be the main way to judge between a saint and a sinner is not who performs most duties for our reformation so much boasted of consists rather in pulling down then setting up this Eclipse was so placed by the Eternal God to do it it will execute the will of God in despite of all the Sophisms of all the Universities in the world I honor learning while it is in its Sphere the fire is good while it is in the Chimny corner but put in the thatch and it spoils all and so does learning in such men as pretend their natural gifts to come by divine inspiration learning will make one a man of a beast but not a saint of a man and yet the most part of men think that the Gospel rests only in the heads of the learned and humane learning is deified and made a little god-almighty of as though the Gospel were so chained to human leaning that it could not be separated I am none of those that count humane learning evil but know and by experience finde it is an excellent ornament to a man it makes a man the more a man and therefore a saint that hath humane learning is better able to express Christ then he which is a saint and hath none because he is more a man but he is never the fitter nor abler to receive Christ In the second place we finde in all these examples that the Emperors whole house of Austria hath bin much afflicted let them look to it now Bohemia will probably be afflicted with intestine wars the Emperor at his wits end his house totters and t is in vain for him to prop it up by Armies or any thing else mens lives are but like so many ships sailing to their long homes which should be towards heaven t is in vain to prop up a ship when it totters with posts without side t is the ballast within must keep it steedy and let me give this sober advise to the forraign Princes of that ancient Family t is a principle of goodness within you and not the strength of Armies without you must do you good in these times which so neerly concern you Lastly let Christian Princes beware of warring with the Turk during the effects of this Eclipse you have read already how fatal it hath been to you in former ages the time of his fall is not yet come although fall he must neither hath the Eternal ordained any of you to pull down that proud Monarchy I should now come to deliver my own judgment upon the effects of this Eclipse but here is an

conceit of it although hee have none of it Sixthly A man that is revengefull and wants a sting hee will please himself with his own revengfull thoughts and take delight to conceit hee is plagueing his enemie though hee bee twenty miles from him I am confident if you look into your own conditions you shall finde I have hit the nayle on the head in some of these and then you cannot but see a reason of the troublesomenesse of the times before the comming of the Lord Iesus Christ in power This is my first reason Secondly The Devill begins to grow a little troublesome because hee hath but a short time to continue as the Bishops in England were in the height of their pride before they fell as Monarchy was most tyrannicall a little before its Catastrophe So will the Devill also if you beleeve the Scripture Rev. 12. 12. Woe bee to the Inhabitants of the earth and of the sea for the Divel is come down to you having great wrath because he knows he hath but a short time 3. God may do it to leave the wicked without excuse They have read all these things shall come before the great and notable day of the Lord appear before he pour out his spirit upon all flesh and if they will neither beleeve what they read hear see nor feel I do not know what to say to them As sure as a club their consciences cannot plead one inch of excuse 4. God may do it to make the Saints attend more to prayer When men are most in danger then they pray heartilyest and walk closest with God when they have a little rest God is quickly out of their minds And now I think of it I care not if I incite here a couple of Verses which I heard from a Commander now at present in the Army Our God and Souldiers we alike adore Even in the brink of danger not before After deliv'rance they are alike requited Our God 's forgotten and our Souldiers slighted And to tell you the truth Experience will tell us that in that persecution under the late Bishops the Saints walked more closely with God then now they do they now walk as carelesly as if the Divel were dead I shall bring all home to the purpose I quoted it for and conclude this reason with one place of Scripture which when you have read and seriously considered tell me if prayer may not be a notable help to you in these times of trouble which are so manifestly threatned and so near at hand and so nearly concern you it is Acts 2. 19 20 21. And I will shew wonders in heaven above and signes in the earth beneath bloud and fire and vapour of smoake The Sun shall be turned into darknesse and the Moon into blood before that great and not able day of the Lord come And it shall come to passe that whosoever shall CALL upon the NAME of the LORD shall be saved 5. It may be to call off the hearts of the Saints from the world that so they may look up to God whether they will or no when nothing but trouble is to be seen under the Moon such may the love of God to the Saints be that he may move them to come to him by arguments of necessity This is my first Axiome 2 Magistrates walk in the clouds neither will what the common people intend quickly be known Religion in one place and execution of justice in another will be made a couple of dainty cloaks to hide mens knaveries i.e. cover ambitious thoughts from the vulgar view frigidus latet anguis in herba have a care you be not deceived that way nay have a double care such as pretend your freedom and liberty bring you not into a worse bondage A seasonable warning is given you of it not onely by the book of the Creatures but also by the book of the Scriptures Micah 7. 5 6 7. Trust yee not in a friend put ye not confidence in a guide keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosome for the son dishonoureth the father the daughter riseth up against her mother the daughter in law against the mother in law a mans enemies are the men of his own house Therefore I will look unto the Lord I will wait for the God of my salvation My God will hear me Here is your disease here is your cure the Scripture hath spoke enough I need speak no more 3. We told you before That a murrein amongst beasts was threatned and as amongst men in a pestilentiall time all that are infected die not neither is it probable will all the beasts therefore men eating such corrupted food taking their nourishment from it must needs be defiled by its impurity And if you will give me leave to digress a little I will not transgress First Hereby ye see what a great part of the curse of God for sin was Happy yea thrice happy is hee to whom God reveals a redresse Secondly By this you may see if you be not stark blind which takes a more laudable course to cure a disease Gailen who gives the medicine with its impurity or Paracelsus who substracts onely the medicinal part and leaves the impurity as terra damnata 4. Violent storms and unusuall if not unheard of hail will be a great prejudice unto the earth especially toward the later end of the Summer 1652 1653 and it s well if 1654 scape 5. When the air is thus troubled the spirits of the air must needs be troubled also men conceive strange ridiculous thoughts of the Divel namely that he is an ugly unquoth creature with horns on his head and cloven feet with great eys like sacers others that have a little more wit know wel enough that he is a spirit but they think he is tied up fast enough either in hell or in some other hole neither I nor they know where when the truth is his residence is in the air and therefore the Scripture calleth him The Prince of the power of the air Therefore I say the air being disturbed the spirits of the air must needs be disturbed also and such unusual sights may appear as may terrifie both your eys and hearts if not at the time of the Eclipse yet within a short time after Neither shall you see the midst of August 1652 over-past but the world shall see what I have written is truth 6. The Iew begins to take a spleen at Rome and all the Nations in Europe begin to snarl at her her finall Catastrophe approacheth but not yet However till that time come continuall sicknesses fires and tumults either one of these or all of these or something else as bad will molest her And if her learned Jesuits cannot tell her the meaning of God from it what are they good for 7. One word or two I will speak concerning the 2d opposition of ♄ and ♃ which happeneth in Iuly 1653 for then and not quite till
