(Written and design'd for the press in Aug, 1683. but its publication prevented by the printers t[e]merity.)

happen in those Countries under Libra yea many Contentions to happen amongst those which are of the highest Degree and Quality Mercury is both their Counsels but he will deceive one in the end and the Sun will aggravate the Danger But how happy are we if we could but think our selves so And many Persons according to their Merits are as highly advanced and our Merchants have very Prosperous Returns And so God save the KING Amen The Weather This Month begins very turbulent and will produce either Snow or Rain about the 4th 5th or 6th Days but suddenly becomes more temperate yet very cold Mornings and sharp Frosts now and then between whiles till the 19th Day then expect Rain or Snow but no great quantity yet Winter-like Weather But from the 21st to the 26th Day it proves very moderate after which expect notable turbulent Weather to the End Reader WHereas there is lately come into the World a Pamphlet by one T. T. and is entituled Modest Obs●rvations concerning the great Frost c. wherein he saith None of our Astrologers did foresee any such thing Now although it is not Modesty in me for to give him the Lie yet if I should he may take it for his Pains Witness these following Persons whom I told of it long before it happened But if any one hath a Desire to know what manner of Person he is let them repair to Mr. John Ga●bury who is able to give an Account of him And farther let T. T. know that he is not worthy to carry the Books after our Annual Writers Therefore let him not condemn their Judgments in this or the like Case for indeed he hath reason to say and that a great deal too That there is something in Astrology c. But for his or any others further Satisfaction let them enquire of Mr. Thomas Ledsom at the Bell in Cannon-Street Plummer Mr. John King at the Naggs head in Fulham John Douff●y and William Botley of Battersea Philip Mayle and William Apsl●y at the Neat Houses Mr. Watts and Mr. To●b●ot of Chelsey John Jones of Putney and several of the Water-men at Fulham Putney and Chelsey I say All these are able to satisfie the World That I told them almost half a Year before the Frost began That the River of Thames would be frozen over before N●w-Years-Day and would stand for a considerable Time viz. till Candlemass or thereabouts Besides in the Copy of my Almanack which was wrote for the Year 1683. in the Month of December was these Prognostications of the Weather Remiss of Cold begins this Month with many dark flying Clouds producing Wind and Snow and now and then a small Frost but continues not long and so turns to Rain and Wind After which follows sharp Frosts and k●●n Ayre for Saturn in Virgo produceth a sharp Month. What if the River of Thames be Frozen over ere this Month ends c The afore-said Copy is to be seen at the Publisher's hereof A true Systeme of the Visible World explained according to Copurnicus December the 11th 1684. ACcording to the fore-going Systeme the Sun is the Center of the Lower World which without doubt is the Point and Place of his Situation and above the Sun in the first Orb next the Center is placed Mercury who accomplisheth his Revolutions through the 12 Signs of the Zodiack in 88 days Venus moves in the next Sphere and finisheth her Course through the Zodiack Signs in 225 days In the next Sph●re is the E●rth who makes her Course about the Body of the Sun in a Year About the Body of the Earth is the Sphere of the Moon who performs her Course in a Month Next above the Earth wheels Mars who performs his Perambulation in two Years and no less because his Orb is much larger than the Earths The next is the Sphere of Jupiter wh● performs his Revolution in twelve Years A●d lastly in the highest Orb of all is old Saturn who m●●es his Progress th●ough the Zodiack but once in t●irty Years Dear Country-Men I having taken this short Survey of the Planetary ●pheres and ascended ●rom the Center to the Circumference 〈◊〉 am now 〈◊〉 stand to behold the vast Distance of the fixed Stars when●s so ●xceeding far that they are altogether void of Paraliax of the Annual Orb. Therefore i● is beyond the Capacity of Man to obtain their Distance exactly c My present Ta●k in hand is to prove That the Earth moves about the Sun and not the Sun round the Earth Therefore I shall have recourse to the former Figure or Systeme of the ●orld wherein the great outward Circle represents the Zodiack or Eight Sphere in which the 12 Signs are placed according to their Natural Order and that I may the better explain the Figure I have placed the Planets b●th Heliocentrical and Geocentrical to the Meridian of the 11th Day of December 1684. Whereof the former is noted with a pr●c●t Line being directed from the Sun but the latter which is the true Place from the Earth with a Black Line both of them passing through the Body of the Planet to the Zodiack a●d the Angle made at the Planet by the In●ersection of the said Lines is called the Parallax of the ●nnual Orb which Angle as it increaseth or decreaseth in respect of the mutual Position of the Planet and the Earth their separation one from another or applying one to the other is the sole reason that the Planets are b●th Direct Retrograde and Stationary sometimes near the Earth and sometimes far distant as here in this Figure The true place of old Saturn from the Sun represented by the prickt Line ♄ A falls in 12 deg 30 min. ♍ but his true pl●ce in the Zodiack as we b●hold it at the Earth is ●7 deg 8 min. of the same Sign as it is shewed by the Line Earth ♄ b so that the Angle Earth ♄ ☉ is equal to the Angle A ♄ b and is 4 deg 38 min. which is the Parallax of the Earths Orb and makes the Planet appear farther in the Zodiack at the Earth than at the Sun and that you may know whether Saturn be Direct or Retrograde we see it plainly by Inspection with our Eyes for the Earth moving switter towards z than Saturn doth towards n it follows that he is now Stationary to Retrogradation and his Place w●ll appear more backward in the Zodiack till the Earth cometh to z which will be the Third of May on which day ●aturn becomes Direct after some few days being Stationary as you may perceive by the Scheme In ●upiter's Orb you may observe that his true Place from the Sun are is 12 deg 10 min. of ♎ but his true P●ace from the Earth at D is 19 deg 50 min of the same Sign whereby the Angle c ♃ D which is equal to the Angle Earth ♃ ☉ is 7 deg 40 min. And because the Earth moves sw●tter towards ● than Jupiter doth towardt ♉ the Line drawn through the Body of Jupiter will make him appear every Day further and further in the Zodiack ●ntil such time as ●h● Earth comes to o at which time he will seem Station●ry for two or three days and then will be apparently Retrograde until such time as the Earth comes to 〈◊〉 as you may see by observing their Motions upon the Figure Also if you look upon Mars you shall find his Place from the Sun to be 6 deg 35 min. of ♎ but if you take his Place from the Ea●th it will be 24 deg 11 min of the same Sign and you may see also by the Figure it is not long since he was with the Body of Jupiter and in Sextile of Mercury He hath been Direct a long time and will continue till the Earth comes to a then he comes Retrograde and will appear of a greater Magnatude than ordinary because he will be nearer the Earth Let any Man observe the Time and he shall find it most containly true If Mars be above the Earth as I am sure he will the Time is April the 15th 1685. In a word Venus and Mercury are also both Direct Mercury is near the Body of the Sun Venus is in the Sextile to Saturn and the Moon goes to an Opposition of Mercury and an Opposition of the Sun She will be in Opposition of the Sun December the 11th about eleven at Hight at which time she will be almost totally Eclipsed and that by the Interposition of the gross Body of the Earth between the Bodies of the Sun and Moon as may be seen by the Figure at large c.

Motions of Princes The Second Eclipse is of the Moon and it falls on the 17th Day of June at three of the Clock in the Morning in the first Face of Capricorn and Visible This denotes Suggestions among Men and untimely Death or Mischief to some Illustrious and Noble Man The Third will be an Eclipse of the Sun on July the Second about Three of the Clock Afternoon Visible to us in England and almost Total for above two Thirds of the Sun's Body will be darkned from our Sight It falls in the last Face of Cancer and is made in the 9th Angle This denotes Seditions Hydropical Diseases and causeth Pestilent and Grievous Mortalities also Winds and Alterations of Weather which much troubles the Air it al●o drieth up Rivers and Fountains Likewise it denotes the Death of some Great Person or Ruler with thundering Noises and Uproars in and about Religion c. But for the general Judgment see my Treatise of the Con●unction of Saturn and Jupiter The Fourth and last Defect is of the Moon and falls on the 11th Day of December at Eleven at Night Visible and very great It happens in the first Face of Cancer This causeth Wars and Inundations or Over-flowing of the Sea-Banks and that in Holland Scotland Burgundy Saxony Granado Zeland P●usia Hasia Macedonia and many more Places which are under the Signs Cancer and Capricorn which are too tedious for me here to relate but you may find them written in Mr. G●ley's Clavis Astrologia Pag. 91 92. The great Defect of the Sun happens July the second 2 Hours 40 Minutes afternoon at which time the last degree of Leo culminates and 13 Degrees of Scorpion ascends the Eclipse it self is made in the 9th House Mars and Mercury are sole Rulers thereof Mars is stronger than Mercury by odds Mars being Lord of the Eclipse corrupts the Air by Heat breeds Pestilential Diseases spoils the Fruits of the Earth and disturbs the Sea by violent Winds and Shipwracks and Albumazar saith That if Mercury be joyned with Mars in signification it signifies Pestilences and other Epidemical Diseases by corruption of Blood Mercury is here very unluckily tyed to the body of Mars both of them being in our Summer Solstice a watry Sign and the 9th House of Heaven which signifies terrible hasty furious Doings violent tempestuous destructive vehement Winds the Sea will be so dangerous Men can scarce pass it by reason of Shipwrack and Pyracy And this is the more confirmed because Mars is in square to his place in the Revolution where he was in the 9th House as here he is now If such things are likely to happen upon the Sea judge you what the Land is like to suffer when a couple of such thieving Planets are Lords of an Eclipse Besides all this the Earth suffers by Thunder Lightning vehement and violent Storms also Inundations or Over-flowing of the Sea-Banks It inclines Men to the taking of such things as is none of their own c. to pillaging plundering seizing on Malignants Goods It also inclines Men to Rapine Theft Lying Depopulation It likewise procures a Rottenness or Corruption in the Fruits when they are gathered occasioning Surfeits and Sicknesses to such as eat them as Hydropical Diseases which may cause petulant and grievous Mortalities It likewise fore-shews the Diseases of France Naples Spain England and indeed all the World Let them as are inclined to Venery have a care Again it fore shews Sea-fights long and dangerous Navigations with much Loss to the generous and industrious Merchants and 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 House in Conjunction in Cancer and all in Sextil to Jupiter who is Exalted therein can intimate no less than great and fierce Disputes about Religion and Religious Matters Nay the whole Body of Truth seems to be rent and torn asunder and the several Limbs of it in small Iota's and diminutive Parcels are scattered up and down as it were upon the Face of the whole Earth each Party and Sect of Professors grasping at some small Portion and Seed of Truth and covering it under various Mixtures of their own which many times do steal away the Heart from the Contemplation of Truth it self most People eying only the Building which doth appear and neglecting the Foundation which lies under Ground But when the Almighty by the Chymistry of his Spirit shall gather up the Fragments of Truth from every the several Professions where it now lies scattered and divided as aforesaid into one entire Body and Lump How Beautiful will it then appear whil'st every Party shall see its Hay and Stubble burnt up before their Eyes and their Gold whether little or much purified and added to the whole Mass and themselves by this means no longer placing their Unity in outward Rites and Observations but being united and reconciled in the Common Unity of the same Spirit c Therefore I hope now the True Protestant Divine will begin to weed out those Apostate Counterfeits amongst us and disperse them to several Parts of the World though it is impossible to lade the Sea dry for some will remain still and swear outward Conformity c. Places subject to the Effects of this Eclipse are Scotland Granado Burgundy Holland Zeland Prusia Numidia Africa Bethinia Calchis Carthage Canstantinople Tunis Venis Genoa Lucaspisa Millain Vincentia Berne England France Germany Denmark Austria Alsatia Livonia York St. Andrew's in Scotland Lubeck Magdeburg Whittenburg Gerlick Macedonia Illyria Thracia Bosinia Albania Oxford Gaunt India c. So much from the great Eye of Heaven Prognostications on JANUARY Inconsulti facile ruunt Unadvised Men quickly fall to ruine THE Year is ushered in with a Trine of Jupiter and the Sun but soon after we have an Opposition between those Malefacts viz. Saturn and Mars also an Eclipse of the Sun in Capricorn Therefore I conceive and that upon good grounds this Month will produce many grand Consultations hot Disputes betwixt the Souldiers and some Persons very Eminent and Famous or rather Infamous Men I mean that have long been loaded with Authority but are now about to be eased of their Burthens For some must expect to pay for their former Roguery for the Heavens are to Justice bent For we have no less than four Oppositions this Month and opposite Aspects will have opposite Effects If God divert not the Course of Nature by his Merciful Providence in or near this Month most strange and wonderful Catastrophes will appear Where Armies are near great Slaughters of Men will be where prepared Naval Forces are there will be great Destruction of Men and Ships where Towns or Cities are beleaguered there will appear and actually be great Effusion of Blood in several Parts beyond the Seas in those Countries subject to the Signs Virgo and Pisces also much Heart-grudging betwixt
