Whereunto are annexed some astrologicall observations upon a conjunction of the two malignant planets Saturne and Mars in the midle of the signe Taurus the horroscope of Ireland, upon Friday the 12. of Juue [sic] this yeare 1646. with memorable prædictions and occurrences therein.

ruine and destruction to those great ones subversion of their ancient Families and ruine to their stately Buildings Cities Townes Towers and Castles That People shall be in most miserable and deplorable condition We see the Conjunction is in Taurus under which amongst other places Ireland is posited and that the signes Leo Scorpio and Aquary are sharers and must participate in this influence Famine Scarcity Plagues and terrible warfare shall happen to many places under those Signes If they expect ayd from Foraigne parts they will be frustrated Me thinkes I behold all the States of Europe involv'd in this Quarrell the French and Spaniard Matching the Hollander busie the POPE thundering his Bulls and Excommunications the Turke making great preparations so likewise the Germane Dane Swede Polonian Venetian nay what State in the Christian World is not disquieted If I should recount the Eclipses and great Conjunctions of the superior Planets in Signes to which most or all Countries in Europe are subjected and the events that have succeeded within these few yeares in these places I might rather make an History then a succinct discourse there were not long since two or three Eclipses of both the Luminaryes in the Signe Leo the effects of all which are strongly operating and for many yeares together will produce admirable and unexpected occurrences I believe the progresse of Saturne through the Signe Taurus out of which he will not fully free himselfe till the end of March 1648. will be very fatall to Ireland and most chiefely he will powre out his influence upon that place rather then any other For if we consider the present condition thereof since the Rebellion there broke forth The horrid Murthers and cruell slaughters by them committed upon many thousands of English Protestants whose bloud cryes for vengeance doe authorise me Astrologically to pronounce a fearefull doome of Fire Sword Plague and Famine to follow that bloudy Nation Let me tell the Spaniard French or what other Nation soever that is ayding or assisting them they must not escape the Divine vengeance which God by the Starres his Coelestiall Ministers doth menace them withall If the Pope send his Agents to prosecute their Designes he may chance loose his Triple Crowne in this unjust quarrell they have raised The Divell may rage for a season Sed si Deus nobiscum quis contra nos The fight from Heaven the Starre in their Courses fight against CaesAR Sisera I hope I shall speak truth if I tell the French Spaniard or any other friend the Irish or their Associates have that though they never made greater preparations yet with as like successe as that Invincible Armado in 88 had at what time fourescore of the Spanish Ships were lost with not so few as twenty thousand men The windes and Seas fighting at that time for England which was many yeares before threatned by the proud and insulting Spaniard This Armado consisted of 130 Ships nineteene thousand two hundred and ninty Souldiers eight thousand three hundred and fifty Mariners two thousand and fourescore Gally-slaves two thousand sixe hundred and thirty great Ordinance which Navy having been three yeares in preparing and at no small charge within one moneth was often beaten and at length put to flight and as I said 20000 of their men being slaine and not above one hundred of the English were missing the remainder of their Navy some in their slight were cast upon Scotland and some upon Ireland and those few that escaped returned with a great deale of dishonour into Spaine above 700 Souldiers and Seamen were cast upon the Scottish shore who were afterward sent over to the Low-Countries but those which by Tempest were driven upon Ireland found a harder measure for the wild Irish of their owne accord slew many of them I suppose their cruelty is not inferiour now to what it was then but suppose the French Spanish Irish Jesuite Popish Fryer Priest and the whole rabble of Antichristians in all the World were combined together against England let but an English man name 1588. or 1605. And without doubt the proudest and most cruellest of them all will be daunted and sink down with amazement so powerfull hath God showne himselfe in those times That in the first the King of Spaine himselfe acknowledged the misfortune that befell him to have been the handy worke of God and gave thanks to God and his Saints causing the like to be done throughout Spaine that it fell to be no worse And for that in 1605 certainly it was the eye of Gods Providence that discovered that horrid deed of darknesse the Gun-Powder Treason invented by the Divellish Papists to the destruction of the Parliament and so consequently to the whole Kingdome Let us looke back to the yeare 1587. In which yeare Mary Queene of Scots was beheaded for the position of Saturne and we shall finde that from the first of March that yeare to the middle of Aprill 1589 he walked through Taurus the Signe under which he now is c. under which Ireland is subjected as I said before In the moneth of August the 28 day was an ominous opposition of Mars from Scorpio to him in the 16 degree and if we observe this memorable yeare 1588. Upon the 28 of May Saturne and Mars were in Conjunction in the 19 degrees Taurus not farre from the place they now meete in not many dayes after which that Spanish Fleet was discovered on our English Coast If we examine our Chronicles we shall finde most Memorable Passages in divers parts of the World to have happened this yeare Was it not unusuall and strange that Polonia this yeare should have three Kings usurping the Title while the fourth viz. Stephen Battori was yet unburied Namely Sigismond the Sweden Maximilian the Emperours brother and Henry Valoys King of France of which three Maximilian in the beginning of this yeare was taken Prisoner his Army overthrowne by meanes thereof many thousands of men women and children carryed away Captives by the Tartars Thus saith Gallobelgicus and further that Suetia was all on fire with tumults and lost certain places of strength to the Muscovite The Muscovite himselfe ranne mad and lost his wits The King of Denmarke Frederick the second dyed In France the Barricados of Paris the flight of the King from thence The slaughter of the Duke of Guise and his brother the Cardinall of Lorrayne The death of the Queen Mother the poysoning of the Prince of Condee and the Overthrow which the King of Navarre gave unto Duke Mercury all which Les derniers troubles de Fraunce do testifie and gave that Kingdome sufficient cause to thinke that yeare 1588 to be an extraordinary yeere At the same time the Duke of Savoy prepared his Army and surprized Carmagmall the King of France his chiefe Magazine in Saluze The Turke suffered great overthrowes in Hungaria And in Constantinople by reason of false moneys wherewith the Jauizaryes were payd their wages they fell into a

Saturn and Jupiter In the yeer 1584. there was fourteen Conjunctions of the Planets in Aries and the Sun and Moon Eclipsed ih Taurus In the yeer 1586. there will be thirteen Conjunctions of the Planets in Aries and one in Taurus of the Sun and Mercury and afterwards in the yeer 1588. twelve Conjunctions of the Planets in divers Signs without doubt after these Conjunctions will follow or succeed mischievous villanous and wicked Counsels and detestable Acts commotions or troubles seditions wars slaughters or killing in Cities Kingdoms and Provinces unknown or unheard of diseases the plague death of great Kings and Lords Infinite dissentions and new diversities of opinions in Religion and to conclude very great calamities in all the Countries of the world as many skilfull men in coelestiall matters suppose gathering these things from the events which are to follow these forepast Conjunctions now rehearsed I shall hereunto adde some particular predictions out of the same Rantzovius pag. 99. Friderici secundi imperatoris Astrologus ab eo interrogatus cur tantum honoris Rudolpho Haspurgensi Comiti pauperi in Aula sua tunc versanti exhiberet respondit mortuis tuis filiis quorum adhuc decem supersunt ipse posteri ejus ad tua Regna pervenient Author Albertus Argentinensis quod exitus ipse probavit Nam Anno Christi 1273. Calend. Octob. Rudolphus a Germanis principibus Francofurti in Regem Romanum eligetur cum Basiliam obsideret hodierno adhuc die videmus Rudolphi posteros Regnum Neopolitanum Ducatum Austriae Sueviae una cum Imperio Regno Neopolitano obtinere Modernus nam Imperator Rudolphus ab eo nomen ditiones haeditario jure accepit Philippus Hispaniae Rex ex eodem natus Regnum Siculum Neoplitanum nactus est That is The Astrologer of the Emperour Frederick the second being asked by him why he showed so much respect to Rudolph the poor Earl of Habspurg then frequenting his Court To whom the Astrologer answered Thy Sonnes being dead of whom ten are yet living He and his Posterity shall attaine to thy Kingdoms which the event proved for in the yeer of Christ 1273. the first of October Rudolph besieging of Basill was elected by the Princes of Germany at Frankeford to be King of the Romans and to this day we see the posterity of Rudolph to enjoy the Kingdom of Naples the Dukedoms of Austria and Suevia together with the Empire and Kingdom of Naples for the late Emperour Rudolphus by hereditary right received from him both his name dominions and Empire and Phillip King of Spain proceeding from him obtained the Kingdom of Scicily and Naples This Frederick the second was elected 1212. he raigned 38. yeers he dyed 1250. the Empire was void 22. yeers though Conrade his Son and Richard brother to Henry the third King of England who was Earl of Cornwall were elected in the interim and in the yeer 1273. this Rudolph was elected Emperour and so continued seventeen yeers nine moneths and sixteen dayes it being sixty yeeres before this prediction came to passe for ought I read to the contrary In pag. 97. in the same Rantzovius thus I find Magister Christianus Astrologus Pragensis Ladislaum Jagellonem Regem Poloniae per Sacerdotem praemonuit ut mortem sibi imminentem praecaveret quod multi Planetae conjungerentur fieret Eclipsis Lunae sub Terra mortuus autem nihil ominus est eo Anno qui fuit Annus Domini 1434. Anno Aetatis 49. That is Master Christian an Astrologer of Prague admonished Ladislaus Jagello King of Poland by his Priest that he should beware of imminent death for that many Planets were conjoyned this yeer and there would be an eclipse of the Moon under the earth notwithstanding that premonition he dyed that yeer of our Lord which was 1434. in the 49. yeer of his age In the same page the next adjoyning observation is thus Joannes Picus Mirandulae Comes edidit Librum adversus Astrologos hi inter quos fuerunt Bellantius Senensis Antonius Sirigatus Florentinus Angelus de Catastivis Carmelita ut Artem veram ostenderent illum annum aetatis 33. non transgressurum predixerunt ex directione Ascendentis ad Martem quemadmodum hinc inde editis constat that is Joannes Picus Earl of Mirandula published a Book against Astrologers These men that is to say the Astrologers amongst whom were Bellantius of Sena Antonius Sirigatus a Florentine and Angelus de Catastivis a Carmelite that they might shew it Astrology to be a true Art they foretold the said Picus that he should not escape the 33. yeer of his age by reason of the direction of the Ascendant to the body of Mars as it appears in the writings published upon this occasion I mention this the rather for that it is most appa●●nt these three men were Astrologers and by Astrology foretold to this Picus the time of his death who flattering himselfe with a false comfort as if he could wrangle away Death by writing against Astrology indeavouring to prove the Art vaine his death concurring exactly with the time predicted confirmed the same Art to be true and more actually confuted that which he had written against it then if all the world besides had conspired to answer him I have rehearsed these things and been the larger upon them though I could shew above one thousand examples of rare observations Astrologicall and many of my owne experiment to cure that Episcopomania or An examination of Sir Christopher Heydons Defence of Astrology For would any man but a man not well in his wits T. V.B. of D. publish and Print that the Astrologer foretelleth that is true by the helpe of Satan that Astrologicall predictions depend not upon naturall Causes that Astrologicall predictions stand not by learning but by some instinct that Astrology considereth the fortunes onely of Fooles and wicked men that the first Inventor of Astrology was the Divell that the Astrologer attaineth not to his intended end in a Prediction without the helpe of Magicke with many other absurd Tenents I will tell you a story of himself as he writes it in his Epistle Dedicatory where he says thus That those predictions doe not always fall out jump and true as they would bear us in hand but that either the Devil doth misse sometimes or that his Instrument doth mistake his informations this I am able to justifie and make good by a plain story of my self when I was a child and went to School at Carleil where I was born there came an odde fellow about the Country he was reputed a cunning man and so called for that he took upon him to tell fortunes the fellow was dumb or at least faigned himself speechlesse but certain it was he had an instinct or familiarity with some Spirit This fellow being on a time in my Fathers house there were some there more simply honest then religiously wise made signs unto him to shew what should be my
