I have heard it credibly reported that there were seen about twelve yeers since many Suns at one time in Cornwall and in March 1639 towards Sun-set three Suns were seen in the West not far from Oxford I have not seen any of these Suns I mention my self onely in those six yeers in which I lived in the Countrey viz. 1636 1637 1638 1639 1640 c. many evenings I observed a strange fiery skie and unusuall forms in the Elements towards that part of the heaven where Oxford stands and towards Bark-shire Hamp-shire and so also towards Buckingham-shire c. I have the rather repeated these things that the incredulous of the times might not be wavering or a party now upon earth too confident that these prodigious Sights have no signification upon Mundane affairs The Historicall part is now ended and my own Judgement upon those three Suns apparent the nineteenth of November 1644 followeth Wherein if oft repetitions of the same thing trouble thee with modesty or courtesie passe them by for in Astrologie it cannot be avoided Nor do thou expect an exact Method from me sith it was no part of my meaning or could I conveniently do it Onely this I must tell thee that the Interpretation I write is I conceive grounded upon probable foundations and who lives to see a few yeers over his head will easily perceive I have unfolded as much as was fit to discover and that my Judgement is not a mile and a half from truth A Figure of the 3 Sonns appearan̄ ♂ 19 Nouember 1644. 9 45.

Apho. 67. Cumque tres Soles eodem modo in ambitu medii Circulus completus ac permanens ad modum Iridis eo anno in Civitate libera nascetur ex Civibus Rex quod si cum hoc Stella apparuerit in die lucida erit in eadem hora When three Suns appear and in the compassing round of the middle one a complete Circle is permanent in manner of a Rainbowe in that yeer in a free Citie or Common-wealth there's born of some Citizen one that shall be a King But if upon the time of such an appearance some glorious Star shew it self in the day-time the Infant is born the same hour mutatis mutandis The words of this learned Philosopher stretch to this sense That when such a Prodigie as he speaks of appears it shews or is the antecedent of some new Principality or some notable Priviledges to be obtained or the birth or rise of some man or Common-wealth to Sovereignty and to that supreme Command which was not before Believe me O all you great ones there 's some such Monster in hatching as the depriving of many of you of that Freedom your Ancestours left you c. If we take signification from the predominant Planet we shall acquaint you in plain English That Religion shall be a strong Pretender and a painfull Stickler in most Common-wealths for some yeers Venus as now posited tells you how much some sober and modest Judgements endeavour to settle things purely soberly and legally But if you look into the third house you shall finde Saturn Retrograde and in opposition to her Master Booker saith Saturn signifies Tom Jew and Jack Jesuite Bona fide I say That we are hereby premonished of men in our Common-wealth that are as superstitious as the Jew and malicious as the Jesuite and that these hodge-podge mixture of shallow-brains shall disturb all our proceedings Good God! that so much deceit and hypocrisie should be veiled and we continue ignorant of the Plot thereby intended What incongruous and inconsistent Opinions even to reason it self do I foresee by this froward and malicious Aspect of Saturn shall appear in the world vex all or most Nations undo almost every State and Common-wealth Methinks here's to be plenty of Ambassadours severally employed What Conclusion they shall make the Retrogradation of Jupiter in the fifth tells you Worse and worse Tinker-like mend one hole and make two or if you will Salve up a little Breach and not long after make one five times greater Mutuall Assistance shall be pretended and one Nation or Common-wealth leagues with another but to what purpose That Policie which in the conception of the wisest Statist is held most convenient for his Prince and Countrey even in that very point shall his King or State suffer most detriment Can we delude God or have the Stars no Influence or can we by Art or Nature make the two unnecessary invironing Suns which are no better then Scar-crows or outward appearances to be reall proper and materiall ones I must deal plainly that we in England for Saturn is in Aries the Ascendant of England under pretence of a glorious shew for Reformation in divine matters intend deceitfully and that mischievous Intentions under religious Pretensions are most viperously cloked But upon maturer Consideration while I see the hand of the Almighty deading and dulling our understandings

forenamed Opposition The words of that wrangling fellow called Naworth or Wharton or a man of a double name in the Prognostication of September are these At Michaelmas there 's an hatefull Opposition of Saturn and Mars something of great consequence will be done about that time prejudicious to the Rebels The Parliament Citizens of London and all those naturall English that adhere unto them are called Rebels by that ungodly Tribe of scornfull Monsters at Oxford and this scurrilous Language printed by command Vix credo But why this Opposition should prejudice the Parliament I see not It promiseth them such a Victory over their enemies as they yet never had And I will refer the reason of the Judgement to any moderate Artist In this Eclipse Mars is Lord of the Ascendant and so hath signification of our Parliaments affairs Saturn therein is their enemy because placed in the seventh house Now when Mars in his own house comes to Opposition of Saturn having no Fortitudes if we knock not our our enemies soundly I say then God is angry with us It points out something else c. But let this man of errour consider the Figure of the Suns entrance into Libra the 12 of September next and he shall finde to his grief the Dragons tail in the tenth house and Saturn Lord of the tenth in the twelfth Retrograde let him boast if he can of that position and see if such a glorious Conquest be thereby signified to chance to the Kingdoms Vipers as he Trayterously prophesieth Nothing troubles me more then in unfolding the truth I must instruct this Changling that pretends himself a Regall Prog-man for Astrologer he is none But to save me a labour I finde in the Judgement of my loving friend Master Booker upon the Autumnall Quarter these words which clearly end the Controversie out of such Authors as the Highway-finder G. W. sometimes to little purpose doth mention There can be nothing worse saith Master Booker then the Dragons tail in the tenth for Guido fol. 595 saith Significat impedimentum Regum atque Nobilium Magnatum diminutionem honoris eorum seu dignitatum Kings Nobles and great persons shall have many impediments and their honour and dignity blasted The losse of Honour is a signall of Victory in Naworths opinion Albumazar dixit significat depositionem pericula peregrinationem seu casum Albumazar saith When the Dragons tail is in the tenth it signifieth the deposing danger or oft running up and down or some Fall to chance to Kings Princes great Nobles c. Some might have Englished the Latine and it would bear the sense well as if such persons-should be enforced to flee away c. O what cause of insulting here is on Naworths side when it s almost conspicuous in that Naturall way we both judge by George his best friends must be utterly routed trudge run away with such trinkets as they can get and amongst the rest I know George himself Budget Almanack some say a Gown I hear of no Cloke will not be the last man that runs for fear of being taken prisoner and delivered over to Master Booker with whom I promise to intercede for good Quarter because George pretends to the Mathematicks But letting this Quibling Novice alone till he is better literated I shall do well to inform the world what the greatest Actions of this Eclipse may be In a word they are like to be of divers kindes but those of most eminency signified by Mars who tells you of most unnaturall Wars of unusuall Treachery in the Courts of Princes he tells you a Famine shall follow the effects of the Eclipse he tells you of the losse and drowning of men in Ships Pyracies Shipwracks whole Cities Countreys Towns wasted consumed depopulated burned down to ashes shot down to the ground and made Rubbish of fearfull and horrible Insurrections Discontents of Rapine Murder Thefts Plunder Pillaging death of severall young Nobles and Princes or men of Princely Progenie he threatens Poison to great ones unusuall Feavers multiplicity of Sea-fights infinite Losses at Sea multitudes of Pyrats a Plague amongst men Murrain amongst Cattel Mutinies of servants against Masters destruction of Sheep and little Cattel c. Kings shall hazard their Scepters by Wars Subjects their Liberties Cities and Towns their Priviledges He threatens a generall confusion and madnesse upon the face of the earth and that Europe is totally out of the right way that the Emperour of Germany the later end of this yeer will run a great hazard with the Swedes that France is not many yeers to continue in that Peace the Cardinall left it and that the Spaniard shall have one lustie day over the French If we credit the principall Signification of the Eclipse with its Appurtenances Consequences Configuration by it self and compared with preceding Conjunctions of the superiour Planets and with subsequent Aspects for some yeers succeding it doth whisper as if some Designe were in hand or minting to make 0000 Master of Europe and possessed of more ground then his Ancestors left him or them We see Jupiter in Cancer Here 's like to be tugging to settle some scrupulous Tenents be they right or wrong it s no matter say some Zizania cum tritico usque ad diem messis crescunt Tares grow up with the wheat till Harvest but then c. I will pray for Peace though being a great sinner I despair of obtaining it This Eclipse is the Forerunner or Messenger of the death of some of the most eminent persons of Europe As the Eclipse falls out in the later degrees of a Signe it prenotes the death of some aged person and he a King or not much lesse Eastward ho Ego duorum Principum vel magnatum genituras novi quibus haec Eclipsis exitium aut graves aliquas calamitates aut difficultates denuntiat nomina eorum tuto nominari non possunt I know the Nativities of two Princes or great persons to whom this Eclipse portends either Destruction or many fearfull Calamities Their names I hold fit to be concealed c. O t is like to be a sickly time with some a bloody and treacherous one with others The Eclipse in a Kingly Signe and house and accompanied with a Kingly fixed Star It must according to the course of Nature be the Forerunner of some more then usuall accident to Emperours Kings Queens Princes and the chiefest Potentates of Europe Non enim Sol in Leone aliis rebus prae est nisi sublimibus altis item Regibus Princibus Generosis viris qui ad Gubernacula Reipublicae sedent The Sun in Leo signifieth nothing but what is of an high nature and Kings Princes Gentlemen and such as sit and govern the Common-wealth Here 's many old Laws and Customs to be abrogated here 's many ancient Families to be deprived of their Inheritances here 's erection of new Customs Laws perhaps a new Government here 's Nation against
