Culpeper, Gent. ...	Culpeper, Nicholas, 1616-1654.	1652 (1652)	Wing C7485; ESTC R2956	55,961	84

full of water Wyat Rebelled about the comming in of Phillip King of Spain and many more were clapt up in the Goal right or wrong it matters not Guilford Dudly and his wife Ioane the Duke of Suffolk and his Daughter lost their heads The Lady Elizabeth was clapt up in Prison and Mary Rules the Nation more like a Beast then a woman I must transgres no longer in quoting what is past but come to what Authors say of the ☍ which is the second thing promised Haly faith The ☍ of ♄ and ♃ signifies many brawlings and contentions both between man and man and between Nation and Nation sets the Commonalty together by the ears against their Magistrates and Kings Besides according to Guido It signifies that Kings and Magistrates shall bee deposed especially such whose Kingdomes are under ♌ and ♒ Cities thereunder shall bee consumed by Fire and Sword Also besides all this Albumazar saith That rich men shall be made equall with the poor De Malé quaesitis vix gaudet tertius Haeres Goods ill got soon scatter'd bee The third Heir ne'er doth them see I come now to the third which is my own judgement upon the Oppositions in which I shall bee very brief First They signifie consumption of estate let no thriving time I mean no time to grow exceeding rich bee expected by English men yet these four or five yeers God hath provided other Fish for them to fry his determination upon the world is otherwise Ier. 45. 4 5. Iehovah saith thus Behold that which I have built will I break down and that which I have planted I will pluck up even this whole land And seekest thou great things for thy self seek them not for behold I will bring evill upon all flesh saith the Lord but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest I hope such as fear God and aime at the liberty of the Subject shall have Baruchs promise made good to them and let them thank God if they scape so too and if they please to heare me well and good if not I have my reward God is a bringing to passe a great work in the world which when you see it come to passe it will make your hearts ake and I am perswaded I can give you some reasons why hee doth so for the God of reason doth nothing without reason and if wee cannot see a reason of Gods actions 't is to bee imputed to our blindnesse let the Priests prate what they will The Saints are united to the God-head by the person of our Lord Iesus Christ Some of the Reasons may probably be these or if you will not take them for reasons take them for probable conjectures 't is no matter under what notion you take them so you make good use of them First one Reason may be to prepare the Saints for such Miseries as hee will shortly reveale to them Whilest the Bridegroom staied the wise Virgins as well as the foolish slumbred and slept and in all probabilities these dreadfull times are but to awake them out of that sleepe consider how unfit the best of Saints are to receive those wonderfull things which God will shortly reveale to them if they please I 'll draw them up a looking-glasse to behold a copy of their Countenances in as they stand in statu quo as their Disposition is at present First they minde riches much and send their Hearts to meete them before they come they draw Maps of their own desires and cut out such a kinde of life in their thoughts as pleases them and by their owne thoughts put themselves into another condition then God hath ordained for them as children to exercise their houswifery make clay-pies and to expresse their desires make Babies of clouts neither is there any better way for a man to know his owne heart then this for though a mans condition bee not as hee would have it and let the impossibilities or improbabilities bee never so great of being what they desire yet their fancies will discover to them what their inclinations are they will create a fooles Paradice in their own Brains First what they would be And secondly what they would doe if they were so and when they have created such a Paradise then they walke up and downe in it with delight First how much money they would have Secondly what they would doe with it what preferment they would have and then how they would carry themselves in it and though they want the things themselves they desire yet will they please themselves with the Pictures of them drawne in their thoughts Secondly I make no question but the Saints are guilty of sinns as well as other men and delight to busie their time in thinking of those things that nothing at all concerns them they long after curiosities like Women with childe that many times long for such things as cannot bee had our thoughts are the buds of an immortall nature whithin us and ought to bee spent about such things as are discovered in the works and word of God and not to be spent about the idle Idea's of our own brains What a madnesse were it for a Lady instead of Pearls and Diamonds to dresse her self up with Peacocks feathers and yet our thoughts as familiarly as the Sun rises and sets instead of feeding upon wholesome food contained in the Book of the Scriptures and the Book of the Creatures like Camelions they feed on the aire Thirdly Their thoughts are spent in meditating of what is upon Earth and not of what is in Heaven and taking a survey of worldly hapinesse which they enjoy as Haman was taking an inventory of his glory the night before hee was hanged and Nebuchadnezer when hee was walking alone and talking to himself like a fool Is not this great Babel that I have built even at the very time when hee was taken with a Lycanthropia for as men which desire alwaies to bee telling their money 't is a signe they are covetous and women that alwaies delight to bee looking their faces in a looking Glasse 't is a signe they are proud so men that are alwaies minding their earthly happinesse and forget to bee thankfull to God shews infinite pride and self flattery in them therefore they shall have trouble in the flesh that God may call them off from it Fourthly Take a man that is ambitious and so 't is to bee feared are some of the best of men though they cannot yet obtain what they desire yet will they feigning themselves to bee some great persons and having erected a throne in their own brains sit down very quietly in it Fifthly A man that loves his guts well and wants money to purchase such food as hee desires will please himself with the delights of what hee would have hee will set down within his own brain a bill of fare and what ingredients hee will have in it and please himself with the

Judgement upon this Conjunction that so we may have a sure foundation to erect our Judgement of this Eclipse upon Men are undone by rapine and violence of Souldiers The whole Nation of Europe is in a mutiny and they have as much patience as a nest of Wasps Thieving rapine and injustice are Lords Paramounts of Seas and Land The Merchants trading is bad he scarce knows into what Country to trade and when he doth he loseth his ships by Sea The world is mad and servants turn masters and what will the end be Kings and great men are undone the Priest and Lawyer leaveth prating and fall to fretting It is the opinion of Guido Bonatus upon a Conjunction of Saturn and Iupiter in Pisces that all the evil that is done and that is not a little will be done under pretence of Religion which how true it hath proved already in England every one that hath but wit enough to eat an egge knoweth Besides Leovitius quotes a great Conjunction of Saturn and Iupiter to have happened in Pisces 1524. In the first yeer of the effects of it happened great inundations of water France was absolutely over-run let them beware now it 's as likely to fall to their share now as a Pomwater is like an apple Next yeer after the Emperour and the French fall together by the ears in which unfortunate Battel the poor French King was taken it was well he scaped so too The Duke of Saxony payeth his debts to Nature and sleepeth both day and night to the Resurrection The Boors in Germany are up in arms and such a mortal fury possesseth their brains that within four months space above an hundred thousand men were slain and the matter examined after whether guilty or not guilty The King of Hungary goeth to war with the Turk but he never returned home alive to tell how he sped France England Venice and almost all Europe was together by the ears Rome was surprised sacked and pillaged by the Duke of Bourbon and the Duke himself was slain in the assault His Holiness Pope Clement the seventh of that name when neither wit nor holiness would serve his turn yeelds himself a prisoner Holland was quite routed and depopulated a fair warning to make them a little quieter now and they would take warning if God had not an intent to scourge them A huge Comet with a terrible tail appeared such a one as operated in the effects of this great Conjunction Certainly these providential ways of God were made for Priests to learn by and not to rail at The Pestilence and the Famine wandered all over Europe The Bishops of Germany were all together by the ears with the Duke of Saxony The Helvetians were at Civil war and what was it about think you truely about that MONSTER called RELIGION The Turk falleth into Austria and besieged Vienna but did not take it The Sea devoureth a great part of Holland Zealand and Flanders A body would think here were enough to bid the Nations of Europe beware the effects of this Conjunction and they would do it did not God hide wisdom from their eyes that so he may destroy them I shall onely quote one Aphorism of Rigel concerning this Conjunction of Saturn and Iupiter yet in force but not in his height till this present Eclipse and with it I will conclude this first Part. Dreadful streamings are seen in the air whether in the forms of Comets or other forms it matters not And I pray to leave my Author a little when have there been more seen then since the time of this Conjunction When more Mock-Suns and more Mock-Moons Not a yeer hath past without divers of them as I told you before and had not mentioned them twice had the significations not been prevalent And if you have not enough you shall have enough before this yeer of 1652 pass over your heads even such that shall make your hearts ake for fear And truely whatever you think I am of opinion God shews nothing in vain To proceed Hot infirmities acute diseases wars and dissentions between Kings and their people and between one King and another And when Kings are together by the ears with one another let them remember what AEsop said of the Mouse and the Frog who whilst they were busie in fight came a Kyte and carried them both away Look to it Princes of Europe there will appear upon the wing within these four yeers a Kyte that will serve you in the same sauce To proceed An universal evil will over-spread Europe though probably it may be greater in one part then in another Many signes will be seen in the heavens beyond the course of nature either round or like crosses or pillars whose effects you may know if you consider the hour they appear in And thus much for the first Part of this Chapter namely the Conjunction of Saturn and Iupiter PART II. Considering the Conjunction of Mars and Venus lately past and that Mars is not onely Lord but also chief disposer of the Eclipse neither are the effects of that Conjunction overpassed we shall therefore in all reason speak a word or two of that Conjunction In the first place it signifies hot dry and blasting windes destructive both to corn and fruit-trees the air is terrible by reason of thunder and lightening pains of the eyes the eastern nations are together by the ears 't is past my wit to part them Many infirmities will men be incident to some women play the whores others die And if you consider him as he is in this Eclipse in the eleventh House Kings and their subjects cannot agree the subjects have got a sword by the hilt and care not a halfpeny for a Proclamation 'T is not words but swords that must end the difference Friends fall out and that is an ill time Many fornications are threa●ned luxurious living Sodomy and all the loose Venereal abuses that can be and are as frequent as atomes in the sun PART III. The Eclipse of the Moon comes next in course to be handled March 14. 1651 2. it happens in the first Face of Libra according to the opinion of Proclus it causeth hail and terrible tempest many hot windes and those venomous and pestilential that shall happen in the summer Secondly consider the Luminary eclipsed is in the eighth House which considering it as in an airy Signe threatens many infirmimities and death wars and rumors of wars diseases and heat of blood a terrible change both in Religion and Law death of ancient people The Signe being humane the effects of it fall most heavily upon men Thirdly Ptolomy saith that an Eclipse happening in Equinoctial Signes their accidents happen upon such men as profess holiness though they have little or none in them upon such as pervert the Law and set Injustice in the place of Justice and know not equity from bribery Also he saith that if it happen in the eighth House it signifies a change

and quarrelling both by Sea and Land Also Giussus saith That when the ascendant of an Eclips is ♈ Kings will prove Tyrants and when I pray were they otherwise the Commonalty will bee up in Armes against their Princes many murthers and battails and combustions will bee in the world death or deposition of Princes and 't is well if they scape so too men will bee troubled with sore eyes c. Also if the ascendant bee in the first face of ♈ as it is here there will ensue much thunder and lightning and lofty windes If the luminary Eclisped bee neer the Equator as this is Look to your selves Priests I le promise your honesty will be called in question Passe wee now to the Lords of the Eclips which are ♃ and ♂ ♃ is placed in the mid-heaven in ♑ where hee threatens a change of Government a change of the Laws and customes of Cities the Winter will bee cold and much snow Thus Ptolomy Albumazar saith It signifies the death of noble men The next Lord of the Eclips is ♂ posited in the sixth house What the generall signification of ♂ Lord of an Eclips is you have in my judgement upon the Eclips of the Sun only wee shall have something to say to him here as considered in the sixth house and in the Lion ♂ Lord of the Eclips in ♌ signifies death of four-footed Beasts causeth great diseases of heat amongst Men stirs up heat of ayre and makes men as quarrelsome as himself is hee overthrows houses and whole Towns by Fire and Sword there is but little Water some fountains are dryed up and the water of others are putrified Also Albumazar saith it signifies Dearth of flesh and bread especially in the east parts a sickly and mortall yeer men dye by the Sword and children by extream pain in their bellies A change in Religion is a comming if many Planets in a house increase the signification of a house as is as true as what is truest then may much sicknesse bee expected during the effects of this Eclips so many Planets being in the sixth house And so much for this part Part 5. Of the oppositions of ♄ and ♃ You may remember we told you before that ♄ and ♃ made three oppositions during the effects of this Eclipse and all three of them from ♌ and ♒ the first happens in the yeer 1652 3. Febr. 27. 0h 3'0 p.m. in 6d of ♌ and ♒ The second happens the 10th of Iuly 1653. 3h 3'0 p.m. in 3d. 1'4 of ♌ and ♒ And the last happens in Ianuary 1653 4. the 17th day about 8. in the morning in 24d of ♌ and ♒ ♄ being with cor ♌ and ♃ with fomahand I shall here speak of them all together and in so doing first I le shew you what Authours have left to posterity upon the like oppositions Secondly the judgement of Authours upon the effects of them Thirdly my own judgement upon them To begin with the first of these namely What Authors have left upon Record to have succeeded such oppositions Anno 1433. in Sept. there was an ☍ of ♄ and ♃ from ♌ and ♒ 13. ♂ joynes with ♄ in November and opposeth ♃ Anno 1434 ♄ and ♃ make another ☍ in the latter end of ♌ and ♒ about which time appeared a terryfying Comet and so there may doe now too for ought I know or else other sights in the aire as bad Also Anno 1633. there happened a terrible Eclyps of the ☉ in the crab which shewed his influence to some purpose the yeere following and now judge whether it bee not to some purpose to quote this example there being such an admirable congruity betweene those and these oppositions only the Eclyps of the ☉ was in the crab then and in the ram now and that an ☍ of ♄ and ♃ ♄ being in ♌ might never bee said to come without having one touch at Rome and to tell you the truth It was never yet knowne by man nor mentioned by Chronicle that ever the tumbling tossing of the body of ♄ through the Lyon hapned but it was a sufficient scourg to London The Veneitans and Florentines together with other Italian Princ● made Warre against his holynes the Pope Anno 1434. who seeing himselfe not able to resist his Gutts and he ran away and he was glad at heart he could escape so A generall Councell was held at Bazile at which his holines the Bishop of Rome permitted the Bohemians to receive the Sacrament in both kindes whereas both before and since the Priests drinke up all the Wine themselves and leave the poore people ready to choake themselves with the breaden-god When those Princes wee told you of before had routed the Pope out of his holy-Chayre like a company of Asses they goe together by the eares with one another the Emperour dyeth and Albert Arch-Duke of Austria is made Emperour but hee held it but a small time Death summoning him to make his appearance in another world Anno 1493. was another opposition of Saturne and Jupiter in ♌ and ♒ an Eclyps of the ☉ in ♉ then operating The Romane Empyre is together by the Eares whole Heards of Cattle dye of the Murraine The King of Portingall falls off of his Horse and breaks his neck now the Emperour dyes and that veneriall disease though called the French-Pox began first in Naples the King of France is full of trouble his Army quits the Field the King of Poland is beaten by the Turk presently after this as there doth now hapned an Eclypse of the ☉ in ♌ which though it were but small yet were the effects great by reason the luminary was infested with the squares both of ♄ and ♂ Good Lord have mercy upon us what will the effects of this next Eclips in ♌ be when the Eclips it selfe is great and the luminaries besieged by the bodies of ♄ and ♂ The Death of the King of France and also of many GermanePrinces succeeded in the effects of this Anno 1552. there happened another ☍ of ♄ and ♃ in ♌ and ♒ an Eclyps of the ☉ in ♑ then stoutly operating Caesare is at wars the Bishops of Germany are together by the Eares so was the Duke of Saxony and the King of France I had not mentioned this ☍ had not Edward the last of that name King of England a most hopefull young man changed this life for a better hee had the Virgin in the Horoscope of his Genesis and the ☉ Eclipsed neer the degree ascending and in the place of ♄ Warrs followed his death and Religion mended just as sowre Ale doth in Summer The Marquesse of Brandenburg must needs goe fight with the Duke of Brunswick one battell hee gave him and was handsomely beaten for his pains As soon as ever he could get another Army hee must have the other bout with him and was served the same sauce the yeer after this great ☍ England was as full of troubles as the Sea is

then will the effects of the ☌ of ♄ and ♃ which we wrote of before appear in their colours that all the world may see what they are For as Herostratus set the Temple of Diana at Ephesus on fire that so he might get himself a name that he might be talked of after he was dead so the Iesuits when no other good can be done will set all the Princes in Europe that are priest-ridden together by the ears that so they may get themselves a name though of infamy I had thought to have written concerning an Eclipse of the Moon 1653. on March 3. but for some reasons best known to my selfe I shall passe it by here and speak of it in my Ephemeris for that year CHAP. Ult. What the effects of this Ecclipse are probably like to produce to every particular nation in Europe 1. IT being taken for granted that the effects begin to operate July 1652. the reasons of which I gave you before and are in full force power and vigour throughout the years 1653 and 1654. and decline in the year 1655 you may by this know the time of the sufferings of Europe an Epidemicall desease called madnesse possesses the brains of the Princes thereof the FIFTH MONARCHY of the world is coming and the effects of this Eclipse make way for him but he is no Scotch man no nor English 't is he before whose coming The Heathen shall rage and the people imagine a vain thing the kings of the earth shall set themselves together against him c. Read the second Psalm throughout and you shall see both what shall antecede his Coronation and what shall follow it I cannot but admire at the folly and sottishnesse of those that prate and scribble of any other Monarchy to succeed amongst the sons of men when the Scripture speaks exactly Dan. 2. 44 45. And in the dayes of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdome which shall never be destroyed and the kingdome shall not be left to other people but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdomes and it shall stand for ever Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountaine without hands and that it brake in pieces the iron the brasse the clay the silver and the gold c. this is the stone which the builders refused but God will make the corner stone As also that Dan. 7. 26 27. But the judgement shall sit and they shall take away his dominion to consume and to destroy it unto the end and the kingdom and dominion and the greatnesse of the king dome under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the Saints of the Most High whose kingdome is an everlasting kingdome and all dominion shall serve and obey him This this is the MOMARCHY that I expect if the Lord please to grant me life to see it yet I expect it not in the effects of this Eclipse for this Eclipse shall onely make way for it I am of opinion Grebner in his Prophesie of his Vtopian Monarch having by art caballistick obtained the two first letters of his name mistook Charls for CHRIST well then this is the first namely a preparative to the fifth Monarchy and when you see all Europe together by the ears when you see Kings mad and their subjects stubborn In a word when you see all Europe in an uproar then think of these things and know that he that shal come will come and will not tarry 2. The Germanes are as bad together by the ears as they were in the dayes of that conquering King of Sweden Bohemia suffers extremely the truth of it is I doubt the poor Emperour will be totally routed and made no Emperour at all 3. As for England I cannot sing a quietus est to them as yet within a few years I shall Thou hast but one storm to endure bear that with patience I hope thy wars are almost at an end I would thou couldst keep thy own brains from fanaticall furies and learn to know what belongs to thy peace before it be hid from thine eyes Thou wilt in the year 1653 be molested with a consuming pestilence and troubles with a change of Government at one and the same time make thy choice wisely God will have his owne Government established in thee whether thou wilt or no and tell me one thing and tell mee truly whether is it fit he should have his will or thee thine should he be master or thee In making thy choice of thy next Representative take counsell of God see what he speaketh to thee or as it should be translated in thee so will he speak peace to thy soul that thou mayest not return AGAIN to folly For assure thy selfe of this thou shalt find my words true as when the Sun is upon the Meridian thou shalt never be free from plagues either of war or as I rather think pestilence or famine till thou doest submit to such a Government as God intends for thee the cryes of the poor whom thou doest tyrannically defraud of their bitthrights are heard in the ears of the Lord God Almighty Be pleased to read every morning the 26 chapter of Leviticus 4. The Jesuites set all Europe together by the ears let Padua in Italy beware of August 1653 lest either the sword earthquake or pestilence destroy it Ah poor University I mourn for thee so much goodhast thou done to the world in generall Lombardy is quite and clean destroyed and beasts possesse the seates of dead people The Pope hath got the impudence to outface heaven to see if his Bulls can out-roar the thunder 5. The Turks fall into a part of Italy which maketh his Holinesse tremble but he knoweth how to leave Saint Peters keys and take Saint Pauls sword in hand the truth is his fear is more then his harm it s not the Turk shall pull down the Pope and yet he must fall 6. The effects of this Eclipse shall shew themselves first of all in their colours in France Strange massacres desperate tumults fire and sword and whatsoever else is bad molest that kingdome and it 's his own fault he carryeth himselfe as like a tyrant over his subjects as a Pome-water is like an Apple if about the later end of this year 1652 that poor King is not either knock'd on the head or forc'd to leave his kingdome say I am so ignorant that I know not a Star from a Hop-pole let him beware of his Bishops and Jesuites especially the Colledge of Sorbon for fear they have learned a Scotch trick to sell him to his adversaries for money 7. Let not that Noble and Valiant soul the Prince of Conde aspire to the kingdome God hath a determination to blast aspiring braines If ever that Valiant and Wise Prince come to raign it shall be aut nequicquam aut nequaquam either not at all or in vaine ours was the first Monarchy that was brought
