A91502	Mene mene, tekel upharsin. The second part of Mene tekel, treating of the year MDCLXXXIX. : And modestly shewing what may probably be conjectured to succeed in the affairs of Europe in general, and of England, Holland, Scotland, and France in particular; with something also about the affairs of Ireland, and the French King's forces there. : To which is added a treasonable paper dispersed among the papists, by J. Gadbury, with some reflections thereon, and also on his almanack for 1689. / By John Partridge.	Partridge, John, 1644-1715.; Gadbury, John, 1627-1704.	1689 (1689)	Wing P619A; ESTC R203323	33,895	50

allow that Scotland and Holland are under Cancer then are their confederates very well signified by Jupiter Venus and the Moon who are all strong and in a good Condition Mars is in Aries the Ascendant of France and there in friendly Rays with none but stands singly alone this considered with the two Oppositions of Saturn and Mars of which more hereafter when I come to particulars that happen within the Compass of this Quarter do plainly shew that those that espouse the French Quarrel are like to feel the fury of this Year's Action with a Witness And so I come to consider the Sun's entrance into Libra which is this Year on September the 12th at 25 minutes and 25 seconds Afternoon per Tab.

Therefore I shall give my Judgment of it from the Figures of the Lunations preceding as the most probable and rational way in my Opinion and I am sure it is the certainest way that can he propounded and the rather because it is at the Time of the Postventional full Moon according to the Direction of the Great Ptolomy Lib. 2. cap. 9. and his Authority is sufficient for me The time of the Lunation preceding this Opposition being calculated happens on September the 19th at 44 min. past 2 of the Clock in the morning so that any one that pleaseth to set the Figure may make use of that Time without further trouble and it is the time also of a very great Eclipse of the Moon so that the Eclipse tells the World there are great things of Ruine and Destruction to be done and the Opposition of Mars and Saturn tells us where and what The First thing I shall observe in the Figure is that all the Planets are opposed for Jupiter is in Opposition to Venus Mars to Saturn the Moon to the Sun and Mercury and Jupiter and Venus do both behold Saturn and Mars by a Mundane Square Hence you see the Superior Bodies and Motions seem to have fitted out this Time for some strange Catastrophe in the Affairs of the World and to turn up by the Roots the Tyranny and Opression which the Son of Perdition by help of his dark Lanthorn Councils and booted Apostles hath endeavoured to plant and propagate not only in his own Land but in ours also by the help of his Friends But blessed be God for their Disappointment and the Ruine of that Cut-Throat Design by which we must all have fell or else declared for that Villanous Lying Doctrine which is blasphemously term'd Religion Popery I mean. The Eclipse falls in the eighth House called the House of Death it is an obscure Angle and hath no Affinity with the Ascendent and the place of it is governed by Mars who is in the terms of Venus and she Lady of the Angle following the Eclipse and upon the place of the great Conjunction in Leo This Eclipse falls in Aries an Equinoctial Sign and its Governour is in Taurus an earthly fixed Sign in Opposition to Saturn which makes its Effects rugged and also durable and will be managed according to the nature of Saturn and Mars Junctine says an Eclipse of the Moon in the first ten degrees of Aries Febres futuras aedium ineendia combustiones nemorum ac aeris siccitatem ostendit that it gives Feavers burning of Houses and Woods and a great Drought But Ptolomy tells us that it signifies the Change and Alteration of Religion and Religious Customs And it is my Opinion that the Effects of this Eclipse will be spent chiefly on the Kingdom of France and the Dominions thereunto belonging for all the Configurations of this Year have more or less to do in the Nativity of that King and he at this time under the Effects of a malicious Revolution But more of these things when I come to speak in particular to Persons and Things under the Influence of these Motions At this Lunation all the Planets are Peregrine except Mercury who is in his own terms and not one of them in an Angle but all either in Cadent or Succedent Houses but Mars and Saturn in particular are Cadent in the ninth and third Houses si fuerit in nona significat detrimentum Religiosorum Largarum Religionum ut sunt Episcopi Archiepiscopi Cardinales similia Bonatus speaks thus of a Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in the ninth and you may expect the same from an Opposition with very little rebate Messahala speaking of such an Affair commands us to observe Saturn and Mars for says he if Mars applies to Saturn and commits his Rays and Disposition to him

Sun in a certain Persons Nativity who is now in Tribulation At the Postventional Full Moon we find there the Moon to be separating from the Square of Mars and applying to the Body of the Sun and next after that to the Square of Saturn the Sun is in Domo Octava and the Moon in Secunda and she in that part of Heaven having at the Full Moon five degrees of South Latitude made her within Rays of the Square of Saturn so that we may conclude both the Preventional New and Postventional Full Moons do exactly agree with the Figure of the Ingress here before us and do really agree in describing the Circumstantial Adjuncts likely to attend this Quarter which is indeed like to be ushered in with Violence and violent Actions and therefore let those that are like to suffer therein take care how they manage their ticklish Fortune for here is such Work approaching that is not to be dallied with and he that once plays and loseth seldom or never comes to his Stake again Having already said how the Preventional and Postventional New and Full Moon agree with the Figure of the Ingress I come now to insist on the Figure it self and the various Positions Aspects c. therein contained And the first thing to be considered is what is like to be the Effects of this Quarter in the general for here we find as perhaps some will say no Extraordinary Positions to give Violence because the Sun is in Trine to Jupiter and Saturn and the Moon in no evil Aspect except by her Latitude in Opposition to Jupiter from the first and seventh houses And now going to the Sextile of Saturn and the Sun all that is may they say is the Sun in square to Mars in the Ascendent Alas they that expect to find Causes in Mundane Ingresses to predict or forshew Actions of that kind of quality that we must now expect are extreamly deceived and cheated for in all things of this Nature we must first consider the Motion of the Superiors Saturn and Jupiter for they are the Salt or Leaven of the World and from their Motion proceeds the variety of those Causes which Mankind oftentimes so severely feels and indeed it is that and that only which is equal in another branch of this Study to the primary Directions and these Ingresses are but like Revolutions that may either abate or aggravate the Direction in its time and quality of Operation but whether the Revolution or Ingress concur or not the Direction certainly works without it and therefore we are not beholden to the Figure of the Ingress for discovering to us the Cause of Mutations Wars c. but the time when God and Nature think fit to obtrude them upon us Hence therefore be pleased to consider that there have been three Squares of Saturn and Jupiter and the last of them was last January Saturn being then in Square and Jupiter in Opposition to the last Conjunction in ♌ in the year 1682 / 3 and this also on the place and square to it of the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in October preceding and in the end of March last there was also a Square of Saturn and Mars the latter of which was then in Opposition to the place of the last Conjunction and to the Ecliptical place of the Moon in this Figure and you see that altho matters and things have been working yet they have not produced any thing material more than preparation for Action and Things of a greater Nature and this not only in this part of Europe but also in Spain and Germany and the parts adjacent There are other things that are to be considered in this Judgment but because they will occasionally fall in with other matters in this discourse therefore I omit to mention them for these are the principal that I have already noted and according to the Method I and all others that pretend to Astrology do or ought to proceed in their judging Mundane Revolutions concerning Wars Plagues Mutations of Government Abdication of Kings Plenty Famine c. Therefore in the first place we shall confider what may be the Consequence of this triple Square of Saturn and Jupiter of which the two first were from Libra and Capricorn the one an Equinoctial and the other a Tropical Sign but the last was from Scorpio and Aquary two fixed rough succedent Signs from whence I draw this Judgment that the first two thirds of their Effects shall be quick noble and glorious mighty things soon dispatch'd and done and the reason is because they were from Cardinal Signs but the last part will be slow tedious and full of labour apt to go sometimes backwards and sometimes forward and variety of success attend it Now for a proof of this let us look back to the Conjunction of the two Superiors in 1623 in Leo and observe when they made their Square which was but a single one and that from the Ends of Libra and Capricorn in the Month of February in the year 1629 and compare that and its Effects then with these three now and the prospect of things likely to attend us at this time and then say whether like Causes have not like Effects for in 1629 the Hollanders took the Hertogenbosch stom the Spaniards and also many of their Ships the Janizaries quarrel with the Grand Signior the Polanders make peace with the Sweeds A Great Diet at Prague the Kings of England and France make peace having together destroyed the poor Protestants at Rochel The French make great preparations of War against Italy and in the beginning of the Next year the King of Swedland did Invade the Empire and took Francfort upon Odor and Lantsberg c. How England stood affected at that time and what the Designs of the then King were your own Histories will inform you I have onely given you those that were forreign Thus you see the same Kingdoms and Countries were concerned in Action at that time as are now but the Quarrels and pretences different yet the Popish Crew then in Spain France and Germany were for rooting out the Protestants and the Protestant Religion and yet we even we are for succouring and defending them tho I thank God I am of another perswasion These things considered are sufficient to prove the Position that I laid down before that like Causes have like Effects and that the Motion of the Superior Stars are to be considered in the publick Affairs of the World c. But I must turn into my way again this discourse being not exactly pertinent to the Affairs in Hand Haly an old Arabian and one well acquainted with this kind of Doctrine tell us Significat quod existant rebelles qui adversabuntur regie qui quaerunt regnum Etian significat Mutationes res multas in negotiis regis similiter in Lege says he the Square of Saturn and Jupiter signifies that people shall rise against their King and

endeavour to take the Kingdom and that it shews various and many Mutations in the King's Affairs and also in the Law. So that it seems in those Eastern Countries even there too where their Kings are really Arbitrary such Accidents do use to happen upon such Configurations as well as in these Northern parts where Government is by Compact and Agreement His word Rebels is a term used in those Countreys as well to those who regulate the abuses of Government that prevent the subversion of Kingdoms and the ruine of Religion as to those that indeed are so and no doubt but that Man that calls himself King or rather Tyrant of France would look upon it as a great Injury done to him to be called to an account for all his Villanies Murders Perjuries breach of Oaths Promises destroying of his Subjects disturbing the peace of Europe burning Towns without any Cause hanging his Subjects sending others to the Galleys while others of them are starving in Jailes and all for being Protestants I say perhaps this Man would think himself injured and would be apt to call them Rebels that should doe it when indeed it would be a good Service and a work of merit to ease the groaning Slaves of their Burden the Earth of a Tyrant and the Princes of Europe of a Perfidious and treacherous Neighbour This Square of Saturn and Jupiter was attended by a Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in October last of which Haly says thus Si quando Mars Junctus fuerit cum Saturno struet qui liber alteri fraudes deceptiones erunt inter homines percussiones vulnera that when Saturn and Mars shall be conjoined it shews much Fraud and Deceipt and that there shall be fighting and wounds especially if they meet in a humane Sign And this Conjunction was succeeded by a Square of them about the end of March from the Signs of Scorpio and Aquary and also at the very time of that great Central Eclipse of the Moon in Libra which was near the place of Saturn at the time of the second Square of Saturn and Jupiter in July 1688. All Authors do agree and indeed Experience can plead for it that such Crowds of Malignant Positions do naturally give mischief and trouble to Mankind Effusion of Blood Destruction of Great and Noble Men Wars Pestilence and all Manner of Violence that attends such kind of Affairs and Transactions as you that please may read more at large in Guido Bonatus pars quart cap. 57. and cap. 77. and also in Origanus de effectibus And thus much for those things that are passed by and yet in force to produce something to come I come now to the Figure it self and where I left off The Moon is at this Ingress upon the place of the last Conjunction and in the seventh House and by her Latitude in Opposition to Jupiter This shews the Common sort not to be pleased with some things done by those that are signified by that Star but Jupiter is in trine to the Sun he hath secured himself from what can appear from thence But here we also find the Sun and Mars in an exact Square from Aries and Cancer and this not only Zodiacal but a Mundane Square likewise and from two of the most principal Signs in the whole Zodiack and from Angles besides This can be construed to give nothing more proper to its Nature then Action and Hostility both by Sea and Land and therefore about the time of the Ingress we may hear of some considerable Action performed by the Dutch or Germans or both against the French Tyrant and also about the same time expect the same Success of the English and Dutch Fleets by Sea against him and his wicked Accomplices that are endeavouring to dip the World in Blood and also to make Slavery and Tyranny hereditary If you will believe our Friend J. Gadbury he tells us in his Almanack for 1689 that it promiseth Tempests and Hurricanes but the Fellow will so lie especially since he turned Papist that he is not to be believed However perhaps it may by inverting his Notion prove true by appearing in Hurricanes Storms among the Papists and that Cursed Faction of which he is believed to be a worthy Member to his Reputation and their Advantage We also find here that Mars is in the Ascendent and of such a Position when he is afflicted as here Haly says speaking of Mankind before Crescent inter eas rixae discordiae se vulnerabunt percutient sanguinem fundent propter hoc accident eis magnum damnum malum That there shall be Quarrels and Discords from whence shall arise Blows and Wounds and the Effusion of Blood and for this reason there shall happen to them meaning Mankind much damage and loss A Planet Angular hath indeed much more Power to perform what he signifies by being in an Angle than in the other Houses and of the Angles the first and tenth is the chiefest and therefore he may be allowed by his Position there to give both speed and violence to his Effects If we consider the Moon we shall really find her in the seventh House separated from the Sextile of the Sun and applying to the Opposition of Jupiter and the Sextile of Venus The Moon is Lady of the fifth House the Angle of Embassies c. and in the seventh the House of Wars and Contests Jupiter is Lord of the Tenth and just turned Retrograde in his own House Pisces and is in a Zodiacal Parallel with Saturn likewise This seems to shew some new thing on Foot about making some League or entering into or upon some new Project of War which is at present wholly unknown but the advantage in the Consequence of it will be considerable and it seems designed for the mighty States of Holland and their Confederates and this seems to be managed under some other kind of pretences then what is intended perhaps it may be some Affairs that may concern the King of Denmark for the Moon here is on the Radical place of his Jupiter and Mars here on the Radical place of his Venus and both Sun and Venus here on the Cusp of his Radical Mid-Heaven But this I am sure will be considerable for so many Planets do not use to be Angular and in Cardinal Signs for nothing and especially when such Applications and Positions attend them And this brings me to the Consideration of what Countries and Nations are like to be concerned in the Transactions of this Year and who are like to be the Sufferers thereby In the Figure we find this Square is from Aries and Cancer under Aries are England France Germany Denmark c. under Cancer are Scotland Holland Zealand c. and from these Kingdoms and Countries will be the first appearance of the Action of this Summer in Cancer we find the Sun in Trine to Jupiter in Sextile to the Moon and in Conjunction with Venus now all
