I apprehend the Stars as directory-Messengers of some such things but in my solid Judgement conclude it the All-seeing providence of God God is angry we will see nothing but more angry because though some do see and perceive and know to what Ruine we are hastening yet like mute Statu's they are silent in this great necessity of the State and close up their mouthes lest they should utter Verity My Genius if it be lawfull to say so dictates unto me nothing but Fraud Cozenage Dissimulation Hypocrisie will be used amongst some pretended-Reformers both of Church and Common-wealth If I understand any thing scandalous aspersions shall without number or just cause be fathered upon our Parliament and their Proceedings hainous and formidable Informations against the Nobility and Gentry Seurrilous Reproaches from all parts shall fall upon our Senior and Orthodox Clergie-men from a Junior sort of Rabbies a Serpentine people not heretofore visible or known in the world lately elapsed by chance not from heaven where Goodnesse it self dwells but from the Moon which Galileus saith is habitable in some terrible Thunder-clap for I believe they were so terrified and stupified in their hearings by their so violent descent in that storm that not any sense could ever since pop into their Noddles Reason in Astrologie must be given and so it shall Mercury generally signifieth in Man Youth his Orientality of the Sun and in the Figure addes more Youth But now in the sense I speak it it tells the whole World the Novelty of what now most afflicts us Jupiter is generally a Significator of Nobility and by position of the Clergie he is under the earth and in the descending part of heaven we hear of things now that did not appear before c. From whence I frame this Judgement That Youth or young novell Opinions or Disputations shall deceitfully prejudice maturer Judgements with Lyes Hypocrisie Calumny Impudence c. And I say again Because Mars that is Lord of the tenth House disposeth of Mercury and he is Retrograde in the seventh House and mansion of the Moon and opposite to the Ascendant I deliver ingeniously this free-hearted Judgement That if his Majestie give protection to such upstart pretended-Saints he shall run Retrograde that is he shall receive infinite Dishonour by it And to our Parliament I say If Connivance be had under their Protection with these superlative assuming Zelotes for my heart will not suffer me to abuse Religion so much as to call them Religious the Parliament shall more suffer in the conclusion even by them then either by the Turk were he armed against us or all the Forces of any potent Enemy I cannot call them by any certain name that so they might be distinguished do but observe their actions and it best informs you they absolutely studie nothing but Division c. and suppression of Monarchy The very true meaning of these three Suns is to inform every Common-wealth of Europe that they are hastening to either their Confusions or unavoidable Dangers The Counsels of the most aged shall be despicable the Projections of the younger men shall cause Insurrections Slaughters Murders the Advice of the most wise shall be innocently slighted A great Work is in hand Both Sun and Moon are ill placed Both Kings and People and all Common-wealths are in their Councels now to seek They have cunningly as long as they could carried their Devices secretly This Prodigie speaks as if we shall discover more then is wished and yet conceal enough to undo us Three Suns have been seen many times and severall Circles sometimes over sometimes under the true and proper Sun Seditiones inter mortales manifestas ostendunt ab omni concensu concordiaque alienationem Junct 312. Here 's a strange thing that they do manifest publike and eminent Seditions amongst mortall men and a generall alienation or aversnesse to any Peace Agreement or Unity Infinite Divisions these three Suns are the Forerunners of of sturdie Disturbances to Emperours Kings Princes and all manner of Principalities and they do usually shew a generall Calamity at hand they declare Schisms and Rents in the Church Disorder amongst the Religious the brooding or upstarting of some cragged or rugged Tenents in Divinity some admirable miraculous and unexpected passages amongst men a generall Delirium or madnesse or Confusion in Opinions reigning and raging and to domineer in most parts of those Countreys adjacent to the place of appearance All manner of inferiour people threatning their Superiours and Commanders grumbling repining whispering out revenge against them No union in Counsel or constancy in Opinion Nothing is thought on but how to bring the whole Fabrick of every Common-wealth out of frame Not a man appears but he is more judicious in State-affairs then Ahithophel Each Cobler in Divinity assures himself of more knowledge then Calvin Luther or Melancton were acquainted with poor Ideots The acts of the most Reverend men preceding such times are called in question the validity of their Judgement undervalued and a Rabble of Saturnine people fill the Times with Ignorance the Church with Sects the Common-wealth with Beggery and their own Coffers tantum quantum with as much Money as they can theevishly cozen the King Kingdom and State of Is there need of more Suns then one in the day or of more then one Moon in the night or of one King in a Kingdom one entire Government in a Common-wealth one uniformity in the Affairs of the Church Verily I think that man out of his wits that would affirm a positive necessity of more and yet usually after the appearing of such Prodigies such lawlesse and and unaccustomed Monsters appear and even such most irregular Attempts are to be prosecuted by people of as great antiquity as the two mock-Suns which appeared at an instant but vanished not away in a moment When God Almighty had drowned the world in confirmation he would do so no more he produced the Rainbowe and made it appear at all times and seasons in a constant and naturall form and manner ever opposite to the Sun and this was out of his great love to Mankinde But while in anger he permits his ministring Angels as now he did to manifest to our eyes a Rainbowe and that such a one as no Age hath absolutely recorded the like to appear with the Bend of it downward just over the naturall Sun The Prognostick part hereof may gravell an assured Judgement Reader pity the weaknesse of Humane understanding and let thy love appear in charitably passing by my failings The Portent of this Prodigie is very great The Angels are willing we should discern something else why was it made visible There was no necessity of it O All you Emperors Kings Princes Rulers and Magistrates of Europe this unaccustomed Apparition is like the Hand-writing in Daniel to some of you it premonisheth you above all other People to make your peace with God in time You shall every one of
