Heaven have their several particular vertues God sayes He will hear the Heavens and the Heavens shall hear the earth Hosea chap. 2. ver 21. whereby we may be informed that the fruits of the earth doe not vegetate nor have their dependance upon one two or moe constellations but upon the whole Heavens We may read in Deuteronomy chap. 33. ver 13 14. that Moses amongst his blessings upon the twelve Tribes he blessed Joseph in these words saying Blessed of the Lord be his Land for the precious things of Heaven for the dew and for the deep that coucheth beneth and for the precious fruits brought forth by the Sun and for the precious things put forth by the Moon Where no man can deny but the vertues of the Heavens and the Stars are stirred up by the two Luminaries the two great Lights where the encrease of the earth is referred to the comfortable influence of the Sun and Moon who are there said to bring forth put forth or thrust forth the fruits thereof as the Original hath it Quae quaeque Luna protrudit they are not only thus declared in the Scriptures evidently to exercise their dominion in vegetable things alone but they are further created for and to the service of men Nay there is no speech nor language where their voyce is not heard that is there is no place in all the world where they doe not operate and have influence We read in Deuteronomy 4. chap. ver 19. that God in his exhortations to the Israelites bids them that they should not so lift up their eyes to Heaven as that when they saw the Sun and the Moon and the Stars even all the Host of Heaven they should be driven to worship and serve them God having divided them unto all Nations under the Heaven By which distinction we are not to understand the light which they cause between day and night and the seasons of the yeer but we must understand the Ministery of the Stars to have a further construction nay if there were no Stars in heaven the Sun and Moon would be sufficient to distinguish between night and day Summer and Winter and the other seasons of the yeer without question the influence of the Sun Moon and Stars extends to the constitution and temperature of man it is evident that those that are lunatick whose distemper followes the course of the Moon have their intermissions of their grievous fits as the Moon is wel irradiated and on the contrary most grievously tormented as she is afflicted which is evident by the judgment of all Physitians Nay certainly we read in 1 Chron. 12. chap. ver 32. that the children of Isachar by their skill and knowledge of times could advise the Israelites in their actions for the words are thus and the children of Isachar which were men that had understanding of the times to know what Israel ought to doe And if so then of the successe which is confirmed by innumerable examples in all Ages and in Scripture we read as I said before that the Stars in their courses fought against Sisera Judges chap. 5. ver 20. By which it is evident that they have dominion over men c. Many Expositors understand this place of Scripture that this fighting from Heaven was by hail rain and Tempest and true it is saith the Author of Astrologomania G. C. or George Carleton sometime Bishop of Landaffe afterward of Chichester or the publisher thereof T. V. B. of D. or Thomas Vicars Batchelor of Divinity fol. 105. That the Stars by their cosmicall rising or setting are observed to further rain and tempest for in the next words of the Text it followeth the River Kison swept thtm away whereby is declared the inundation of the River caused by the hail and rain which fell from Heaven whereby the Canaanites were overthrown by the Tempest from heaven and drowned in the River This is evident by the Text. And because the Scripture mentions so much in that place and no more and that many Translators have so expounded that Text must it be inferred thence that the Stars have no other influence but in the causing of hail rain tempests c. must the Stars be concluded from all other influence all the Creatures of God are at his command and are used as Instruments to doe his will in the protection of his Church and against his enemies God most miraculously plagued Aegipt with turning their waters into blood and destroying their Fish and sent Frogs Lice Flyes Murrain boils and blains hail with Locusts and darknesse among them and the death of all their first born and at last Pharaoh pursuing the Israelites with all his Host were drowned in the red sea Thus God wrought wonderfully and beyond the course of nature But in this place it is said the Stars in their courses fought c. under correction besides that exposition I understand by courses the various motions configurations and divers Aspects the Sun Moon the rest of the Planets and Stars have to one another and amongst themselves and by their fighting c. I understand likewise some notable configuration or position of the Stars or Planets from whost influence God having so appointed from the beginning they cause wonderfull mutations in the world and it is usuall when the superiour Planets are in Conjunction Quadrate or Opposite Aspect to one another very forcible they doe not only cause rain hail and tempests c. but wars murther and great dissentions other great changes have followed such positions of those Stars as I could instance in all Ages in innumerable undeniable examples I have named some already I will only repeat the words of that most excellent man Henricus Rantzovius a noble Dane c. in his Examples of Astrologial Predictions upon great Conjunctions fol. 112. where he amongst other notable matters sayes in that Book which was the third Edition of it and printed at Colen in the yeer 1585. Anno Domini 1583. Habuimus Conjunctiones Planetarum sedecim omnes in Piscibus inter quas fuit etiam Saturni Jovis Anno 1584.

so that now they may see these words to their shame and Gods glory fulfilled But I am tedious although no neede is thereof let any indifferent man judge on Mr. Lillies Observations in this present March 1646. He saith the first weeke Newes from severall quarters and some towne or fort surrendred so we had the surrender of Ashby and the town of Torrington Then he proceds some proposition from our weather beaten enemies Westward Is not this true in the Lord Hopton his surrender of 2000 horse upon modest propositions Againe his Majesty stands amazed who thinks lesse then so when he sees all is like to be lost Here 's strugling saith he this we in London know to be true Againe Three dayes promise our enemies successe but God may blinde their eyes to make use of none that is neither eyes nor time The poore fellowes were in Abington 2 March but were hastily and valiantly thrust out by the valour of the Garrisons this was one of their promising dayes In the second weeke of March they attempted it againe but to no purpose the same weeke they missed our Convoy of 20000 pound by contrary Intelligence so that its hoped their three dayes ore out of date and their eyes quite put out and they may wander with Rupert and Maurice to Ireland to cry Oh hone for here 's no more plunder to be obtained in England These his predictions in favour of Astrology I have repeated because they are excellent and notable expressions in the Art and manifestly visible They that would be further satisfyed repaire to the books themselves For what I have performed in the ensuing Tractate I leave to the candid censure of the well disposed and doe hope as Mr. Lilly and my selfe have the same principles in Art so our judgements in the generall and my owne particular notion upon the sollid foundation of Art will have answerable successe I hartily wish all happinesse to our present Parliament and abundant of blessing to the City of London wherein I now inhabit pray to God preserve both States in Unity and Concord that so the Affaires of the Publique may more vigorously be prosecuted Religion established and Peace universally succeed So wisheth a true English man an Abhorrer of the Irish Rebellion One that prayeth for the Peace of Church and State and the utter extirpation of Popery JOHN BOOKER A Bloody Irish ALMANACK for the YEERE 1646. NOt many dayes after the Irish Cabinet or his Majesties Secret Papers for establishing the Papall Clergy in Ireland came to publick view which is worthy to be perused by all true hearted Protestants of England There appeared an Irish Almanack intituled thus A new Almanack for the yeere of our Lord God 1646. being the second after Leap yeere and since the Creation of the World 5595. Calculated for the Longitude and Latitude of the City of Waterford and may serve generally for all Ireland By an Manapian Waterford Printed for the Yeere MDCXLVI Which Almanack I having had sight of and perusing the same I found many remarkable and memorable Chronologicall Observations agreeing so exactly with the transaction of the forepassed and present affaires betweene his Majesty and the bloody Irish who are called his Majesties Catholick Subjects That I held it a great injury to the English Nation if the same should have been smothered and not divulged I meane so much thereof as discovers the inveterate hatred of that inhumane people against the Parliament and the whole Kingdome of England The other part being either Popish Saints dayes or vulgar Observations in most common Almanacks I passed by as not materiall to the present taske in hand and indeede the whole of it and all of them I judge worthy no other then the fire In the leafe next the Title page Thus it is Printed Our most Gracious King Charles began his Raigne over great Brittaine and Ireland the 27 of March in the yeare of our Lord 1625. And hath Raigned 21 yeares compleate the 26 of March 1646. But the 27 day we write Anno Regni 22 Whom God prosper in all his Designes against his Rebellious Subjects the ☞ ROVNDHEADS of ENGLAND I trust God will not heare their prayer but turne it into Sin and Abomination Psal 109.7 Prov. 28.9 Hath the King Designes against his Subjects Are his Subjects termed Rebells Are they pointed out for destruction by a bloody hand and called the Roundheads of England O God blast all such designes And all yee true hearted English men looke about you unite your selves against the common Enemy the blood-thirsty Irish Papists Jesuites and their confederates c Why doe the Heathen rage and the people imagine a vaine thing The Kings of the Earth set themselves and the Rulers take Councell together against the Lord and against his anointed Saying Let us breake their bands asunder and cast their coards from us He that sitteth in the Heavens shall laugh The Lord shall have them in division he shall speake to them in his wrath and vex them in his sore displeasure He shall breake them with a rod of iron and dash them in peeces like a Potters v●ss●ll Be wise now therefore O ye Kings be instructed ye Judges of the Earth serve the Lord with feare and rejoyce with trembling Kisse the Sonne least he be angry and ye perish from the way when his wrath is kindled but a little But blessed are all they that put their trust in him Psal 2.1 2 3 4 5 9 10 11 12. The next Irish note which I observe is as followeth In the month of January over against the 10 day in bloody red letters this Manapian one borne in Menapia a City or Towne in the County of Weisford or Wexford in Ireland or Wexford it selfe as Camden thinks in his Description of Ireland fol. 89. mihi sets it downe thus The most pernitious Anarchicall Rebellion of the Roundheads of England It may be remembred that January the first 1641 The Parliament petitioned the King for a Guard foreseeing a designe upon them And the next day the Kings Answer was He tendred their safety as his owne and their life as the life of his children But the fourth day he came in person to the House of Commons attended with about foure hundred persons with Swords Pistolls c. to demand the five Members which unparallel'd attempt discovered the designe of the Enemy to make warre against the Parliament which afterward followed yea and the next day after the King himselfe came to the Guild Hall in London at a Common Councell to what intent appeared in few dayes for this tenth day mentioned in the Irish Almanacke The King with the Queen Prince Duke of Yorke left Whitehall and went to Hampton-Court ever since which time to this very day having forsaken his Parliament and left his people out of his protection hath beene the most horrible bloody unnaturall warre that ever was in England nay in all the world it being never knowne that a King
