A47492	Vates astrologicus, or, England's astrological prophet, fortelling what is likely to befall Great-Britain and Ireland, particularly the great and famous city of London as also France, Holland, Spain, Germany, Poland, Italy, Sicily, Apalia, Bohemia, Turkey, and indeed all Europe, but more especially the see of Rome, for twenty years together, beginning March 10, 1683, and ending March 10, 1702 : likewise astrological judgments of the effects of that famous triple conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, being thrice repeated in that regal sign Leo, the great dignities of the Sun and Jupiter: also some remarks upon the eclipses, and more especially upon that great and famous visible eclipse of the sun, July 2, 1684 : with twenty years predictions from some of the most eminent mutual aspects of the planets, and eclipses of the luminaries, and annual revolutions of the sun : here are also many hieroglyphicks representing the future state and changes of the world : to which is added a treatise of the pestilence, both for the prevention and cure thereof / by Richard Kirby.

and Moon Life is Infused into all things by him so many glorious Lamps of Heaven do shine by him the Elements stand the Winds blow the Plants flourish living Creatures have sence Which therefore Orpheus calls the Enlivening Eyes of the Heavens the Sun gives light to all things of it self and gives it Plentifully to all things not only in the Heaven and Air but Earth and Deep he produces the Day here and the Night there here it is fair Weather by and by Thunder Storms and Lightning he passeth into Waters then into Hail being ever one and the same Artifict of six hundred Arts he paints the Clouds with Azure colour Cloaths the tops of the Mountains with Gold what ever Creatures are either in the Heavens or in the Earth all of them do love the Sun riseing Nature being Guide It is the property of all Living Creatures to rejoyce with the Light and Refreshment of the Sun whatsoever Good we have as Jamblicus saith we have it from the Sun alone or from it through other things therefore it is called Fons vitae the Fountain of Life or lux Mundi the Light of the World or Oculus Mundi the Eye of the World or Anama Mundi the Soul of the World Hence therefore many of the Platonists placed the Soul of the World chiefly in the Sun and Heraclitus calls the Sun the Fountain of Coelestial light and hence the Ancient Naturalist called the Sun the very heart of Heaven so it sends forth its rays on all sides as it were a Spirit through all things distributing Life Sence and Motion to the very Universe and it sits as King in the midle of the other Planets excelling all in Light Greatness and Fairness Enlightning all distributing Vertue to them to dispose Inferiour Bodys Regulating Disposing of their Motions so that from thence their motions are Dayly or Nightly Southern or Northern Oriential or Occidential Direct or Retrograde and as it doth by its Light drive away all the Darkness of the Night so also all Powers of Darkness which we read of in Job as soon as Morning appears they think of the Shadow of Death Thus the Sun is the very Author of seasons from whence Day and Year Cold and Heat and all other Qualities of Seasons as Ptolomy saith when the Sun comes unto the place of any Star it stirs up the power thereof so as with Mars heat with Saturn cold and it disposeth even the spirit and mind of man from hence it s said by Homer and approved by Aristole that there are in the mind such like motions as the Sun the Prince and Moderator of the Planets every day bringeth to us Therefore shall we then say or be so Innocent of the Heavenly Ordinances as to deny this great Luminary any Influence upon Humane and Mundene Affairs or to be so stupid as to think that when this great Light is obscured from us that there is nothing thereby signified unto Mortal Men God Created the two great Lights viz. the Sun and Moon for Signs and Seasons therefore the Moon hath a certain natural Mutability whereby she easily Cummunicates unto us the sence of other Stars c. Now let us come to the intended Subject viz an Ecclipse of the Sun which is very great whence we may ex●ect as great Accidents or Effects to follow Such a face of Heaven hath not been seen since the Creation All the Planets are in the 9th house viz four in Cancer with Caput and three in Virgo Jupiter hath great dignities in Cancer and here is no less then four Planets beholds him by a sextil Aspect from the same Sure this must shew some notable Work Impending concerning Religion But before I shall pass my Judgement at length upon this vast Ecclipse of the Sun I shall consider three things First unto what Region Kingdom City or People the effects of this Ecclipse shall appertain Secondly The Time when the Effects shall begin and how long Time the Events of this Ecclipse shall continue Thirdly What events may be expected from the Ecclipse c. Now in regard this Ecclipse is made in Cancer therfore I shall judge its effects to fall upon Scotland Granado Burgundy Holland Zeland Prusia Numidia Africa Bithinia Calchis Carthage Constantinople Tunis Venice Genoa Lucas-pisa Millain Vincentia Berne York St. Andrews in Scotland Lubeck Magdeburg Wittenburg Gorlick Macedonia Illyria Thracia Bosina Albania Oxford Guant India c. The next thing we have to consider is the time when this Ecclipse will begin to Opperate and how long the effects may continue now in regard it is made in the ninth Angle Therefore I judge the effects will begin about eight months from the time of the Ecclipse and will Continue two Years or thereabouts c. The Third and last thing is what the effects or event of this Ecclipse may be as thus considering the sign where this great defect of the Sun doth happen to be one of the Cardinal signs and our summer Solstice Therefore it signifies alteration of Air of Offices or Places or Government it likewise presages a Rot or Consumption of the vulgar sort of People with Rumours Seditiors and expectations of Wars Destruction of Fish and Water-soul great Innundations and overflowings of the Sea Banks it likewise procures a Rotteness or Corruption in the Fruits when they are gathered occasioning Surfeits and Sicknesses to such as eat them as Hydropical Diseases which may cause Petulent and grievous Mortalities it likewise foreshews the Diseases of France Naples Spain and England and indeed all the World Let them that are inclined to Venery have a care again it foreshews Sea fights Long and Dangerous Navigations with strang kind of Stormes and Tempests at Sea and much Loss to the Generous and Industrious Merchant with thundering Noises and Uproars about Religion as well at Home as Abroad and that by all sorts of People from the Highest to the Lowest Degree for so many Planets in the 9th in Conjunction in Cancer and all in sextil to Jupiter who is exalted therein can intimate no Less then Great and Fierce disputes about Religious matters besides Mercurys application to the body of Mars by a retrograde motion who suddenly transits the degree of the Ecclipse shews that many strange kind of Paper conflicts shall be dispersed abroad on purpose to incite Men to Quarrel for here is a Violent Storm Impending and Wo to those People in Europe on whom it doth fall for as a blow with a stick stirs up the madness of a Dog which before lay Asleep so doth the Coelistial Harmony disclose Virtues lying in the Elements and stirs them up strengthneth them and makes them manifest and as I may say produceth that into Act which before was only in Power And thus to conclude I judge that Mars's sudden transit through the Degree of the Ecclipse will cause extraordinary sultry blasts and great heat hot pestilent Winds pestiferous and infectious Thunder Lightnings Whirlewinds

of Sorrow and Affliction and there retrograde and combust of the Sun and the Moon is in the eight in her Detriment in square of the Sun and Mercury Therefore I fear but little of good can be expected this half year the vulgar and common people are still dejected and make great Complaint for the Want of Trade and Moneys and all such things as are necessary for their Supportment and besides the Moon in the 8. doth certainly shew that a great many people must yield to pale Death this year who will not be denyed by the Princes of the Earth when their time is come But the Moon being the Earth's attendant and but a secondary Planet cannot signifie such grand alterations in the World as the primary and superiour Planets do especially when they happen to be conjoyned together as here they are in the angle of the Earth and there opposed by Venus from the 10th which sheweth that many Fears and Troubles shall fall upon men and that their Hearts and Minds shall be possessed with Jealousies and strang Apprehensions and that not without just cause for you must note that Saturn and Jupiter in the fourth retrograde shews some secret Plot and Design a hatching but let the Contrivers thereof look to it for it will be most happily and timely discovered for it was never known that ever Women were good Counsel-keepers Therefore I judge that Venus in the 10th in Conjunction with the Dragon's Tayl and being in opposition to Saturn and Jupiter shews some Woman or Women shall discover the Villanies of this Plotting Council c. And besides it signifies a Dark Obscure Air Earthquakes and Destruction to the Fruits both of the Trees and Earth Also it signifies Povorty and Indigency also a Scarceness of Fruits and Provisions great Mischiefs Cold in the extremity grievour Fears Anxieties Terrors and Troubles much Want and Scarcity of the Fruits of the Earth and a superfluity of Evils Torments and Grievances incident to those places under the signs Leo and Aquarius which be Rome Italy Cicily Bohemia Turky Phenicia or Chaldea for Satura and Jupiter da●ts their Evil Influence mostly into the Courts of Prince and will shew their dire Effects to those Countries and Regions which are under the signs Leo and Aquarius as Tartary Muscovia Sweedland Piedmount Hamborough Breem Trent Bavaria and Salizburgh And further you must note such Positions as these do alwayes denote Strife Trouble and Confusion amongst the Grandees of Europe with many Informations against great Persons in the Courts of Princes and those which are of the highest Degree and Quality besides I judge this hath been a long time a contriving since this Opposition is made from fixed signs and angles c. Now Saturn is in a sign wherein he hath no essential Dignities which shews that ancient people shall desert their Habitaaions and be drawn out of one place into another it may be out of thei own natural soil for here is no loss than four of the Planets retrograde which motion shews those places under the signs Ares Leo Libra and Aquarius to be in a strang kind of posture at the time of this ingress But at the latter end of March and the beginning of April the t●o superiours become both direct by which motion they meet in conjunction in May at which time I fear much Treachery with Tumults and Commotion of Arms in many places of Europe for take this for an approved Aphorism that when any of the superiours viz. Saturn Jupiter or Mars are in conjunction or any other malevolent Configuration one of another there happens great and manifest Alterations in this Elementary World with Alterations of Laws Customs Kingdoms and Empires Therefore Rome prepare thy self to entertain Showers of Judgment for a Plague is threatned unto thee and I am apt to believe this is thy declining Age for the Lord hath declared in the 6th Chapter of Ezekiel and the 3d Verse Behold I even I will bring a Sword upon you and I will destroy your high places Verse 4. And your Altars shall be desolate and your Images of the Sun shall be broken and I will cast down your slain Men before your Idols Verse the 11th For they shall fall by the Sword by the Famine and by the Pestilence Verse the 13th And you shall know that I am the Lord when their slain Men shall be among their Idols Verse the 14th So will I stretch mine Hand upon them and make their Land waste and desolate from the Wilderness unto Diblath in all their Habitations and they shall know that I am the Lord. I had almost forgot Cauda in the 10th in that humane sign Aquarius which shews that Rulers Great Men and Landlords shall be very Injurious and Tyrannical over their Subjects Servants and Tenants and shall afflict tax and grind their Faces beyond common humanity and honesty and Tradesmen will devise wayes in their Trades to cozen and cheat their Neighbours and the Chief Rulers shall have Crosses and Troubles and perhaps some of their Honours ecclipsed and still all this shall be carried on by a cloak and shew of Friendship and that by some She Counsel and all these things will fall in particular upon those places which are under the signs Leo and Aquarius perhaps Tartaria Muscovia Aethiopia Media Italy Damasco Bohemia and Rome in particular England I could say something to thee too but it is no great matter whether I do or not since thou dost not care for hearing it Now as to the Diseases this half year they are many and are signified by Mars in the 6th in Libra and Venus lady thereof who is posited in the tenth in Aquarius both a rial signs thus Venus being opposed by Saturn and Jupiter who are with two notable fixed Stars of the nature of Saturn and Mars then by consequence it must be Pains or Swellings in the Leggs and Knees occasioned from some cold cause with violent Pains in the Head and Heart also Afflictions in the Reins and Kidneys either by Stone or Gravel lodged in those parts and consequently pains in the Bladder with a hot Urin nay in this Case we may expect the French Pox to be very frequent and chiefly to those Persons which are of the Nature of Mars and Venus and besides we may justly fear the Plague or some other Epidemical Disease equivolent too near approaching for Mars in Librae signifies Diseases occasioned by Corruption of Blood through Chollar as the Pestilence Burning Feavours Tertian and Quotidian Agues Megrim Carbuncles and Plague Sores Burnings Scaldings Ringworms ●listers Yellow Jaundise Bloody Flux Fistula's Shingles Calentu●es Small Pox Meazles and all Diseases of Chollar Let no man think that I predict these things positively for the Heavens shew only natural Inclinations not positive Actions therefore if we bend our Wills to serve the true God and strive to taste of the Cup of Repentance we need not to fear but that the Lord will remove the

Conclave of Cardinals shall tremble and shake for fear c. The power of France is also brought very low even as low as Pharaohs lean kine for the late Wars hath destroyed many thousands of the poor Inhabitants and that by the means of the Roman Clergy and the pride of an insulting Governour Ireland and Holland hath also drank deep of the Cup of Affliction and Englands Foundation stands firm and unshaken God continue it c. The Eclipse of the Sun in the last Face of Aries destroys the lesser Cattle as Hogs Sheep Goats Conies Hares and is the fore-runner of Lamentation Woes and Mourning unto mortal men or most sorts of Men and the death of some Noble Woman but the Eclipse of the Sun in the Second Face of Libra portends the Death of some Eminent Prince or King or Noble Man and for breach of Customs stirs up Sedition and designs a Famine Those places under Aries and Libra are most likely to suffer and feel the Effects of these Eclipses c. Astrological Judgments for the Year 1699.

Astrological Judgments for the Year 1700. IN this year we have only two Eclipses of the Moon February the 28 ☽ Eclipsed visible in ♍ August the 18 ☽ Eclipsed invisible in ♓ December the 29 ☌ ♄ ♂ in ♓ the one in Virgo and the other in Pisces likewise a Conjunction of Saturn and Mars on the 29th of December in Pisces the great Dignities of Jupiter from which Configurations I judge there will be no great matter of business in Agitation this year only every Nation will be endeavouring to settle it self for all Princes have a strong inclination for Peace and the continuance thereof for most Princes will make Leagues more firm and strict than formerly here will be almost a new World for our Farmers now take pleasure in their Husbandry the Merchants hath prosperous Returns and the Mechanicks quick Trading every Man repairs his former losses and soon after follows the destruction of Rome with the downfall of the Pope England be thou content and return God the due praise for the many Blessings he affords thee annually for the late Sextil of Saturn and Jupiter in their own proper Houses doth promise Peace and Tranquility to thee and indeed all the World Now old men live their full years and our Youth grow up to Mens Estates c Yet I must tell you by the way that these Eclipses of the Moon in Virgo and Pisces with the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars also will leave some notable impression upon those places under the Signs wherein they happen and what those Effects will be I shall leave you to examine Mr. Lilly's Annus Tenebrosus Printed 1652. Astrological Judgments for the Year 1701. IN this year we have no less than four Eclipses of the Luminaries January the 28 ☉ Eclipsed in visible in ♒ February the 11 ☽ Eclipsed visible in ♍ July the 2 ☉ Eclipsed visible in ♌ and great August the 7 ☽ Eclipsed invisible in ♒ October the 2 ☍ ♄ ♂ from ♍ and ♓ viz. two of the Sun and as many of the Moon we have also an Opposition between Saturn and Mars from Virgo and Pisces The first Eclipse of the Sun is in the second Face of Aquarius The second Eclipse of the Sun falls in the second Face of Leo but the first Eclipse of the Moon falls in the first Face of Virgo and the second Eclipse of the Moon happens in the last Face of Aquarius but what they portend or are the fore-runners of that I shall leave to Astrologers to determine when the time cometh For I am apt to believe that some Nations will not see an end of their Troubles till Dooms-day c. Therefore let no Man think himself happy until the day of his Death c. According to the Rudolphin Tables in Mr. Coley's Clavis of Astrology The next Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter will fall in May 1702 in that Equinoctial Sign Aries the Ascendant of England Readers in this my Astrological Judgment for 20 years I have considered every year the Figure of the Suns Revolution as well as the Configurations of the Superiour Planets and Eclipses c.
