the last great triple Conjunction in Leo. And Bonatus tells us that Mars joined to Saturn by opposition is of a pernicious consequence Insurgent enim in eos ex guerris nitentur contra eos and again he says Mars in Ariete significat victorium in bello civibus civitatum illarum habit atoribus illarum tregionum super inimicos eorum qui venerint de aliis partibus ad illas ceusa nocendi eis That Mars in Aries signifies victory to the Citiziens and Inhabitants of those Cities and Countries under that sign I suppose he means if they have occasion to fight and that they shall put to flight all those that come to offer them either Violence or injury And to say the truth I do believe that Opposition with some other Positions and Configurations will be the occasion of such differences that will come both to blows and blood in what part of the world I shall leave to time to shew only this I will say those Cities and Countreys under Aries and Libr● will feel the smart of it The effects of this Querter will consist more of Consults than Action and the Contrivances thereof will be the work of the following Summer And so I come to consider the Vernal Ingress of the Sun which is March the ninth at 4. hours P. M. 1688. At the time mentioned of the Suns entrance into Aries there is 2. degrees of Gemini on the M. C. and 9. degrees of Virgo Ascending Saturn than in 23. degrees of Libra Jupiter in 22. degrees of Capricorn Mars in 24. degrees of Taurus among the Pleiades Venus in 18. degrees of Aquary the Moon in 11. degrees of Scorpio and Mercury in 12 degrees of Aries The first and the principal think remarkable in this figure is the Square of Jupiter and Saturn from Cardinals signs and this of it self will bear the general sway in the effects of the three following Months and ought to be considered two several ways First from the Aspect and secondly their Position As to the Aspect it never gives any thing that is either sudden or very violent but it stirs up differences and Societies gives Treacheries and Villanies with the discovery thereof gives Nations and Kingdoms suspitions of their Governors And this sometimes not without a cause but it always begets Troubles Animosities Differences and the like from whence proceeds greater mischiefs which certainly shew themselves by some great Irruption in the State or alteration in the Government by the death of the then King Prince c. And this the more certain if there be three Squares of Saturn and Iupiter as there are now and be sure there effects fall always in those Countries subject to the Signs they are in or their Quadrangles but when they happen to be in Cardinal Signs as they are now then is their Effects the more famous and remarkable And for the truth of this be pleased to consider the preceding Presidents of this kind before the cursed Popish plot in 1678. there was a single Square of the two Superiors from Gemini and Pisces here London and England also suffered sufficiently by that damned design of the Papists and those Villains their Accomplices In 1668. there was a single Square from Aquary and Taurus this did not at all concern England neither was that then disturbed In the years 1657. and 1658. there was a triple Square of Saturn and Iupiter from Libra and Capricorn and satura then opposite to the Horoscope of England At that time there was murmurings and plottings against the then Oppressors which at last was concluded with Olivers Death and a general mutation in the Government with divers others Changes and Alterations as those that then lived can well remember Likewise when Oliver turned out the long Parliament and took the Government on him it was just after an Opposition of those two Superiours In the year 1647. and 1648. there was then also a triple Spuare of Saturn and Jupiter from Geminy and Virgo What plotting contrivances there was then against the Government let the affairs of Wales Lancashire and Colchester inform you which cost many thousand men their lives and last of all the King lost his head In the year 1637. and 1638. there was a triple Square of the two Superiours from Libra and Capriocorn and Scorpio and Aquary What murmurings there then was among the People of all sorts for their Oppressions they then laboured under let History inform you which was at last followed with a War c. I could go further in these Historical passages but I think these five Examples are sufficient to prove that a triple Square of Saturn and Jupiter from Cardinal Signs doth certainly make an Irruption in the Government of England and generally turn up the heels of it especially when it stands tottering as at this time and the first of them happens in March 1688 the second in July in the same year and the third the January following which by the Grace of God will in time have their Effects also Secondly as to their position we find the one in the third House and the other in the fifth and nearly in paralld without any Configuration or Aspect to any of the other Stars and both under the Earth which shews as if there were some designs in hand that the Managers are either affraid or ashamed to have known that they are few in number is plain from their position sine Configurationibus and that they are very private from their being under the Earth in succedent Houses In short the position and the Aspect considered with other things doth certainly presage some villanous contrivance by the Papists which will be the ground of their Ruine and when their turn is come I hope the Protestants will not forget to hang them for all their kindness and good nature to us And now if we consider Mars who is the other Malefick we shall find him in Taurus in the 24. degree thereof and in Trine to Jupiter in the fifth rhe House of Children Venus in Aquary in the sixth and the Moon in the third house cadent in Scorpio that Villanous Treacherous Cheating Perfidious Truce-breaking wHoreing-sign And the first Aspect the Moon makes in the Zodiack is the Square of Venus then to the Trine of Jupiter and lastly to the Opposition of Mars and all these from that Pious sign Scorpio Hence I judg that there is some bawdy project on foot that must be managed by such people as are described by the Moon in Scorpio And this is either about buying selling or procuring a Child or Children for some pious use Perhaps it may be nothing else but the taking care of Father Peters his Child that he got on Mrs. Betty at the Bath last Summer and that I may do you all the service I can I will here describe what manner of made persons they are that are to be concerned in this bawdy project And they are a sort of
