himself in a City called Neapolis and took upon himself Regal Power In this year and the year before the Conjunction 1308 it self came to the Sextile of both Sun and Moon and Mars came also by direction to the Conjunction it self and also in the year 1305 Saturn and Jupiter made their first Conjunction in Libra the Exaltation of Saturn during of these 20 year the Turk by the division of the Greek Empire gaining footing in Europe gained many Battles but was invited into Europe by the Cattalonians the Island of Rhodes was taken from the Turk in the year 1308. In the year 1324 Saturn Jupiter made their second Conjunction of the Rise of this Kindom in Gemini in Trine to the place of the Conjunction 1285 three years after this Prusa one of the great Cities of Asia yielded to Othoman and he makes it his Royal Seat and the year after Othoman himself died and his Son Orchanus Succeeds during of whose Reign he had good success but not upon Europe he takes Carasiina and Callipolis and Nicomedia and dyed in the year of our Lord 1359 and his Son Amurath the first began to Reign In the year 1264 you will find in my Catastrophe Mundi that Saturn and Jupiter made their fourth Conjunction in Libra during which Conjunction Boga is taken by Amurath and so is Didymaticum and is again recovered by the Christians and demolished and was again new builded by the Turk Servia is also invaded by Amurath Missa and Apollonia won by him also in the year 1387 three years after the fifth Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Gemini Amurath had Asia invadded by Aladin his Son in Law and in the year 1390 was stab'd by a wounded Souldier and Bajazet began to Reign Bajazet soon after his coming to the Crown invades Servia twice in one year in the year 1396 was fought a great Battle between Bajazet and the Christians where of the Turks were slain 60000 and of the Christians 20000 and the year after Viz. 1397 was the great Battle between Tamberlen and Bajazet whereof were no less than 400000 Turks and Tartars slain and Bajazet taken and put into a Iron Cage and carryed through all Asia Bajazet beats out his Brains in the year 1399 the mean time Tamberlen ' conquers all Asia and Aegypt and all the Turks Territories and all in five years he dies in the year 1202 at Samarcand in the year 1405 but one year after the first Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Piscis and the sixth Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter since the Rise of this Family began Mahomet the first he having a great deal of trouble by reason of his Brothers striving who should have the Crown This short Reign of Tamberline is worth our taking notice of he beginning his Conquest under the influence of the Conjunction in Gemini and the last of that Triplicity and so soon as Saturn and Jupiter made their first Conjunction in Piscis the Conjunction being in Square to the Conjunction that went before and in Sextile to the Conjunction that preceded the Rise of this Family that made that Family begin to settle it self again and gained in a small time all that Tamberlen had taken from Bajazet this twentieth year was spent in the Civil War between Mahomet and his Brother Musa and Solyman and he died in the year 1422 he Reigned but seven years over his Fathers Territories and 10 years was he gaining of them he left his Son Amurath the second to Reign in his stead From the year 1424 to the year 1432 the Turks attempt Prore but in vain for Mustapha the supposed Son of Bajazet raiseth Rebellion against Amurath he in vain besieged Constantinople but in the year 1432 he takes Thessalonia A great Plague among the Turks Hungaria wasted Belgrade is besieged and the Turks forced to draw off with great loss during the time of the Influence of this Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in it falling in exact square to the Conjunction that precedes their Rise he got but little but the Slaughter of his Men but in the year 1444 there was a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Cancer After this year the Turks grew Victorious Transilvania and Valachia invaded and spoiled by the Turk the great Battle between Amurath and the King Vladistance the Christians lost the day after the Christians break the Truce with the Turks in the year 1445 Greece was made Tributary to the Turks in the year 1448 was the great Battle between Amurath and Huniades where most part of the Hungarian Nobility with 57000 Turks and Christians were slain In the year 1450 Amurath died and Mahomet the first Emperour but the second of that Name began to Reign in the year 1453 Constantinople was taken by the Turk and also the Country of Servia In the year 1456 Huniades obtained a great Victory against the Turks that being but two years after the Opposition of Saturn and Jupiter from Virgo and Taurus both of them casting their hateful Square to the Sign Aquarius the place of the Conjunction at the Rise of the Othoman Family Mahomet the same time being wounded and carryed away for dead In the year 1464 there was a Conjunction of Saturn Jupiter in Piscis in this year Mahomet invades Epirus Scanderbeg doth destroy a great many of the Turks and until Scanderbeg died Mahomet could not get any thing by invading of that Country Scanderbeg died in the year 1466 and from that time till 1470 the Turks did not prosper for Mathias King of Hungaria took the Kingdom of Bosna from the Turks in the year 1469 but in the year 1470 Chalcis and the chief City of Euhoa were taken by the Turks but yet the Venetian and the great Master of the Rhodes did great harm along the Coast of lesser Asia In the year 1478 Scodra was taken by the Turk after a years Siege and in the year 1481 Mahomet was poisoned and Bajazet began his Reign In the year 1484 there was a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Virgo in Square to the Conjunction that preceded their Rise during the time of the Operation of this Conjunction the Turk did not prosper at all for the Mamalukes in Aegypt gained great Victory against him and he at last was poisoned in the year 1512 there being a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter nine years before in Cancer and the Opposition of Saturn and Jupiter was a hastening from Virgo and Tanrus both of them being in Square to the Conjunction precede the Rise of the Family Selymus his Son Reigned In his stead In the year 1250 began the Kingdom of the Mamalukes in Aegypt under a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Libra and under a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Cancer Selymus drove the Mamalukes out of Aegypt the Conjunction was in the year 1503 and in the year 1517 was the Downfall of the Mamalukes In the year 1520 died Selymus and his Son Solymon
Ecclipsed by the Moon Lady of the twelfth House what can be expected from thence but that those sort of People inhabiting in those East Parts of Germany should come to have great calamity fall upon them and that by a Lunar sort of People Now the Moon in the great Conjunction preceding the Rise of the Othoman Family is Lady of the sixth House and by that meanes doth represent the Subjects and Vassals of that Family and in this Conjunction Ecclipsing the Sun not far from the opposite Place of that Conjunction doth declare according to Art that they shall over run all those Places of Germany that had Leo arising at the middle time of the Ecclipse and all those Countries that are under Leo Aquarius Taurus and Scorpio and likewise will overthrow all those Monarchs that have their Rise or Foundation under the Influence of a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Leo Taurus and Scorpio but those Places will first have their share of Suffering that are under Aquarius the place of the Ecclipse among which places let Valachia and the South Part of Poland beware neither shall Muscovia be free but shall tast part of the bitter Cup that is allotted for Europe to tast Mars making of his long transit in Libra tells us that Austria shall be much wasted and the People thereof be brought very low and a great part of them will be carried Captive and their great Town Vienna will go near to be lost and the Seat of War will last longer in Austria than in any other part of Germany The Moon and Sun and the Conjunction it self being in Square to Taurus doth declare that Poland should be much wasted by both Turk and Tartar for this Conjunction is in Square to the eleventh House of that Kings Election and the Ecclipses fall in the second and Mercury Lord of the seventh House at the time of his Election is in this Ecclipse in Square to his tenth and Mars Lord of the tenth is in Libra weak this bids Poland to be very careful how he doth go to War during the time that this Conjunction is alotted to operate which will be near twenty years for if he doth fall to War with either Turk ot Tartar he must expect to gain nothing but the Devastation of his fruitful Country with the destruction of his People if not the bazard of the Crown and Dignity of that Kingdom Neither will the Swede be in a better condition for if he doth go to War with any of his Neighbours he will receive great damage by it if not lose part of his Country And by reason of Mars being placed in Virgo at the time of the first of the three Conjunctions and did make a swift passage through that Sign this doth declare that Croatia should be one of the first Places that the Turks should bring under their Subjection and will make great waste in that Province and carry the People Captive And because Mars at that time he was in Virgo did cast his hateful Square to the Sign Sagittarius doth declare according to Art that Hungaria shall suffer much by the Turks and shall by them be made desolate in those parts next Moravia and they will bring that Kingdom under their Subjection in a short time Moravia being under Sagittarius must expect to have a great share of the Turks Invasion and a great many of thy Towns and Cities will be laid waste and a great scarcity of Corn will be in those Parts by reason of the Raging of Armies Neither will Slavonia be free from the Calamity of hot Neighbours for the Great Turk shall make his Way into Italy that way and shall bring under his Yoke that Country and will carry the People into Bondage And by reason that Saturn and Jupiter make a Triple Conjunction in the Sign Leo doth declare that the Turk should advance his Forces into Bohemia and shall there do grent damage he will lay waste all the Monasteries and will carry the Priests into perpetual Bondage It doth grieve my heart to think what great Calamity will fall upon that Kingdom Under the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Leo was the last Bohemian War which caused that Place to indure most sad Calamity but those that were the Cause of that Evil in those days will all of them be brought to destruction that there will not be so much as one Nest for those Unclean Birds left Oh! the many years of great Scarcity that shall full upon that Place occasioned by the Devastation that is like to be by War This Triple Conjunction being in Leo falls in Square to Scorpiâ—â— this doth bid the Duke of Bavaria look to his Country for the Turk is like to invade him with a very great Army and will lay waste a great part of his Territories and joyn it to the rest of his Conquest And Mars being posited in Virgo at the first time of the three Conjunctions doth foreshew that the Dukedom of Wittenburgh shall have the Turk to Range in his Bowels and make great Devastation at which time the Crown of France will begin to shake for fear and wish that he was a little farther from him but it will be in vain for the Turk will invade his new Conquest in Alsatia and from thence pass through Lorrain into France and take Burgundy in the twinkling of an eye all the seventeen United Provinces submit to his Protection without being invaded and by so doing save their Country from Fire and Sword and at the same time the Turk is so Victorious in the South-West Parts of Germany Another part of his vast great Army will Range in the North and North-West Parts thereof and pass through Bohemia and enter Franconia and from thence he will invade both Higher and Lower Saxony even as far as the North Parts thereof it will seem strange to hear that the Turk should be got so far into Germany as Westphalia and the Country of Juliers but so it will be and God's Will must be done Germany was first conquered by the Romans under the Influence of a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Scorpio and the Empire of the Romans was Erected under the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Scorpio this Conjunction falls in Square to that and this Ecclipse falls in Square to that also and the Ecclipse being the Lunation before the second Conjunction of Saturn and Jupitor January 1682 3 this will cause that Empire to have a very great Shake if not totally subverted to the Power of the Othoman Family and seeing that there is such great Preparation on all Sides for a great War with the Turk it will be needful for us to consider the Nativity of this present Emperour of Germany and there to see what Directions he hath This present Emperour of Germany was Borr the 30th day of May Old Stile 1640 at nine Hours 3 Minutes post Meridiem in the Latitude of 48 Degrees The Figute is as
began to Reign and in the year 1521 Belgrade was won by Solyman And in the year 1522 the Island of Rhodes was also taken by Solymon There was a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Piscis in the year 1525. Solymon invaded Hungaria and in the year 1526 the King of Hungaria was drowned in a Dith and in the same year the Vavod of Transilvania chosen King of Hungaria and in the year 1528 King John was driven out of Hungaria by Fardinando and is himself Crowned King at Alba Regulis and in 1529 Solymon came again into Hungaria with a great Army and takes Buda without Resistance and spoiles Austria Attenburgh taken and Solyman besieges Vienna but is forced to raise the Siege with the loss of eighty thousand men but Solymon restored King John to the Kingdom of Hungaria In the year 1532 Solyman cometh again into Hungaria and sends 15000 men under the Command of Cason to spoil Austria A great Blazing Star seen In the year 1523 the Turk besieged Carone but was beat off In the year 1537 King Ferdinand breaks League with Solymon but got little by it but the loss of the Christians In the year 1540 King Ferdinand invades Hungaria and takes Vicgrod and in the year 1541 the Queen of Hungaria joyneth with the Turk and burns Vacia and takes Buda and Solymon craftily detains the Nobles of Hungaria in his Camp and converts the Kingdom of Hungaria to a Province of the Turkish Empire and in the year 1543 Alba Regulus is taken In that year there was a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Virgo in square to the Conjunction that preceded the Rise of the Family from that year to the year 1563 the Empire had but little Success but in the year 1563 there was a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Cancer and in the year 1566 there doth arise new troubles in Hungaria Solymon dyes of the Bloody-Flux at the Siege of Sigeth and Selymus Succeeds In the year 1570 Nicosia and Cyren was taken by the Turk and in the Year 1571 the Turks take Cyprus and in this year was that famous Fight at Lepanto by Don John of Austria In the year 1574. Maldavia and Valachia taken by the Turk Selymus dyes and Amurath Succeeds In 1575 Amurath invadeth Poland burned and destroyed two hundred Noblemens Houses besides a number of Towns and Villages and in the year 1577 they conclude a Peace again and from this year to the year 1592 he bends all his Forces against Persia and that way doth increase the Territories very much And in the year 1592 Amurath invades Croatia and takes Sisog and in the year 1595 Amurath died and Mahomet the third succeeded and from this year 1595 the Christians began to get ground of the Turks for in the year 1596 was a great Plague and Famine in Hungaria among the Turks and in the year 1598 Transilvania submitteth to the Emperour And also in the year 1596 was Strigonum and Vicegrade taken from the Turk by the Christians and also the Turks invade Valacha and ar◠forced to fly by the Christians In the years 1597 and 1598 the Turk hath no Success but the Christians gain ground of them and in the year 1600 Alba Regulus was taken by the Christians But in the year 1602 Alba-Regulus was again taken by the Turks and the Christians take Pesth and a many more Places and in the latter end of 1603 Mahomet III. dyed and his Son Achmat succeeds and soon after the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Sagittarius 1603 the Persian gains ground of the Turk and there is great Trouble in Transilvania And in the year 1605 the Turks take Strigonium but the Persians gain ground upon the Turk and there was for these two years a great Rebellion in Hungaria In the year 1606 there was a Peace between the German Emperour and the Sultan of Turky In the year 1611 a great Plague in Constantinople whereof dyed 200000 Persons In the year 1617 the Sultan Achmat dyed and Mustapha Succeeds but is soon deposed and Osman began at the age of sixteen years But in the year 1622 Mustapha is again re-inthroned and Osman strangled by Daout Bassa In the year 1623. Mustapha is again deposed and Morat at the age of fourteen years began to Reign during whose Reign he looses all he had in Persia and was very much afflicted with Troubles and all these things precede the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Leo six Degrees in Opposition to the great Conjunction in 1285 in five Degrees of Piscis CHAP. IV. Of the General Judgment Astrological of the further State of the Empire of the Turks and what Countries of Europe will be most Passive BUt that we may begin our Work from some certain Epoche of time and not involve our selves into a Laborinth of unnecessary Enquiries We are to consider that there is no material Accident either in Empires or Kingdoms which first of all had not a Beginning from some Radix Therefore with great diligence the first Roots or Foundations of things are to be inquired into And therfore by an Inquiry we sind the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius to proceed the Rise of this Mighty Monarch which in the year 1285 we shall make the Root of this and for that reason have I set a Figure for the Now-Moon preceding 〈◊〉 Now if we make the Place of the Conjunction it self to be the Degree Ascending and set the Figure for Constantinople you will find Mars to be the Lord of the tenth House which doth represent the Honour and Grandure of the Empire and Mars doth represent his Souldiers and that by the Sword he should maintain and gain all his Reputation Now Mars being placed in Virgo under which Sign Authors tell us is Achaia Greece Creet Croatia Corinthia Anthesina the Dukedom of Athens Mesopotamia Babylon Assyria Gallia Silesia Cities Hierusalem Corinth Rhodes Popia Signia Brundusium Aretium Novaria Tholosa Lyons Paris Basil Heidleburg Erphord Wratislavi Besides a many more Places which Authors have not allotted to this Sign as yet we sind by experience that a great many of these Places already are annexed to this Empire Likewise those Places that are in Sextile or Trine to the place of Mars at the time of this Conjunction will also go nigh to be in subjection to him all those places of the Zodiack that are in the Sextile is Cancer and Virgo and those places that are in the Trine are Taurus and Capricorn Now under Cancer are said to be Scotland Granado Burgundy Holland Zeland Prussia Numidia Africa Bithinia Chadchis Carthage Cities under are Constantinople Venice Tunis Genoa Lucas Pisa Millaine Berne York St. Andrew in Scotland Lubeck Megdeburg Wittenburg Gorlick Under Virgo are Norway Upper Bavaria Matagony Comogena Cappadocia Idumia Mauritania Fez Gethulia Catalonia Cities are Algiers Valentia in Spain Trabezone Vrbine Pestorium Aquilegia Camerinum Tarvisum Forum Julium Massana Vienna Alehstade Monachum Gaunt Frankford upon Odor
Laws to his Neighbouring Nations Indeed he was a Man ordained to bring a great deal of Calamity upon Europe in order to prepare Matter for one that shall be far greater than he But were I to write the Calamity that is like to befall the French these succeeding years it would take up a large Volumn but this I will let them know that the Commons of France will be in Arms in a short time against this present King and I have good reason to believe that he if he lives to see but two years will be driven from his Seat by his own Subjects and if he doth die before as I believe he will then the next King will be served so and the Turk will invade his Countrey and lay many of his Cities waste the Protestants of France will joyn with the Turk in the doing of it then will there be great Wo to those Roman Clergy they will have cause to curse the time that over they were born to be the cause of so much Bloodshed Neither will Spain be free from great Calamity for he must strike his Sail to that mighty Monarch the Othoman Emperour And thou Oh! Italy hath a great share of this Cup of Gods Wrath for great will be the Scarcity that will be in thy fruitful Countrey and a universal Plague will overspread thy Territories and the Turk will destroy with Fire and Sword a great part of thy famous Towns and Cities and he will come even to the Gates of Rome and Saok it as bad as the Gauls did and will keep Possession and destroy it with Fire and strew Salt upon it then will the Pope be forced to fly from Place to Place and soon after will there be no more such Cattle in the World About which time the Turk will possess Venice and will to the grief of all Christendom lay that most famous City waste and carry the poor Italians into Captivity Neither shall the Muscovite be free for the Tartar will gain from him a great part of his Countrey on one side and the Turk on the other insomuch that it will bring great Calamity upon his Countrey many of his Towns shall be destroyed by Fire and his People will be carried into Captivity That most famous Kingdom of Poland will be a great Sufferer insomuch that the very Key of Christendom will be lost and his most fruitful Territories will be made a Province of the now Emperour of the Turks CHAP. V. Of the Opinion of MAHOMET and under what Constellation it had its Rise and under what Constellation it will please God it shall have its Desolution THE Opinion of Mahomet may be said to have its Rise at the time that Mahomet had his Flight at Mecca being drove from thence by the Saracens and from thence the Saracens began their Computation of Years which was in the year 591 and in the year 590 in July there was a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Gemini and about twenty nine Degrees thereof and upon the sixth day of July 590 at two Hours fifty three Minutes Post Meridiem and the Figure for the Latitude of Mecca which is twenty three Degrees and is also to the Eastward of London three Hours twenty three Minutes the Figures for both London and Mecca are as follow MECCA ♀ in ♌ 1 53  ☿ in ♌ 14 16  10 House in ♎ 29 14 4.

Con. the Moon shall signifie a rude People which are secluded from all Skilfulness by the Judgment of all Astrologers therefore that Law is Rude Gross and Popular and an Enemy to Learning even as the common People are for by reason of the Dominion of Mars in the Watry Triplicity and his being in the same Triplicity in his own House in Trine to the Ninth it injoyneth it self to be protected not by Arguments but by Arms hence it is that whosoever shall but in the least degree scandalize their Law shall be slain with Iron and because the Moon is exceeding swift in comparison of the other Planets therefore shall it vehemently undervalue all other Laws nor will it be said to be Presidented by another Again to speak Astrologically seeing that the Faith of Mahomer remaineth Martial and Lunar if we take the great year of both Mars and the Moon and the half Summe of both their years and add to the time of the Rise of Mahomet it will bring us to the time that Faith shall begin to be Abrogated Now if we add only the great years of Mars and the Moon to the Rise of Mahomet that will bring us to the time of their greatest height as for Example the great years of Mars are 480 years and the great year of Luna is 260 years these two being added make 740 years which 740 years being added unto Anno Domini 591 the time that Mahomet had his Flight from Mecca
that will bring us to 1331 at which time the Othoman Family began to gain ground and the Faith was at the height then if we add the middle of both their two great years Viz. 270 years to the former year 1331 that brings us to 1701 about which time will begin their Conversion to the Faith of Christ but because the hidden Secrets of God are impenitrable therefore we intend only to conjecture somewhat about Signs according to the Effects of the Stars and like one that is Purblind seeing afar off discerns only a certain confused Shadow resembling many things without knowing certainly what it is by 2 Apot. Coâ—m 5. In this case it will be needful to consider the two great Stars that appeared fixed so long a time the first was that which appeared in the year 1572 in Cassiopia about the twentieth of October in 16 Degrees 54 Minutes of Taurus having 53 Degrees 45 Minutes of North Latitude it exceeded Jupiter and Venus in bigness and it appeared suddenly and from the very begining of an equal magnitude contrary to the first Appearance of all Comets it also fell in exact Opposition to the Place of Mars in the New-Moon preceding that great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Sagittarius Anno 14. From hence may be expected great War and Bloodshed to the Christians with a Decay of Christianity in all Places that is they shall differ in some certain Principles for which they shall destroy one another which great Destruction will continue in one Place and another near thirty 3 years because that at the end of thirty two years God to the amazing of the whole World sent another great Star in the year 1604 in 18 Degrees of Sagittarius having two Degrees of North Latitude for the Judgment of which I refer you to my Catastrophe Mundi wherein I have discoursed at large this Star appeared near in Opposition to the Place of the Conjunction that preceded the coming of Mahomet not only so but Saturn and Jupiter and Mars are also in Opposition to that Conjunction This Star doth without all doubt fore shew the changing of that Opinion to Christianity because the New-Star is not far enlongated from that Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Sagittarius in the year of our Lord God 14 and by reason I shall have occasion to mention this Conjunction often take the Figure of the New-Moon preceding it which was on the 9th day of January Anno Domini 14 near Noon 10 House ♑ 16 14 4 House in ♋ 16 14 ☉ ☽ 17 22 ♑  ♉ 5 33  ♀ 5 37  11 House in â™’ 9 20 5 House in ♌ 9 20   12 House in ♓ 12 30 6 House in â™ 12 30   Ascend ♈ 25 40 7 House ♎ 25 40  ♂ in â™ 16 57 ♉  2 House ♊ 1 9 8 House â™ 1 9  ♃ in â™ 7 22  ♄ in â™ 8 28 3 House ♊ 25 57 9 House â™ 25 37 This Figure was set for the Latitude of Jerusalem which lyeth to the Eastward of London 3 hours 3 minutes the Latitude is 32 Degrees 10 minutes Here Jupiter is Lord of the ninth House in Sagittarius strong disposing of Saturn in the Conjunction and Saturn doth dispose of Sol Luna Mercury and Venus therefore Jupiter doth signifie Christianity which Faith will last till the end of Time but not without its Ebbing and Flowing It was concluded by Tycho and those Astronomers in his Days that those two new Stars were such as never appeared since the Beginning of the World and that they continued each of them in the same place in the Heaven they appeared in above a whole year and were at length successively dispersed and therefore are to be accounted Miracles in the Expectation of all Men but more in their Understanding If we consider the distance of time betwixt the Appearance of the one and the other of these new Stars we shall find to be thirty three years measuring out the years of our Saviour From thence may we conjecture the Destruction of Monarchies by the Appearance of the first Star and likewise the Destruction of Antichrist and all the Babel Opinions of Christianity So likewise may be conjectured the Kingdom of Peace by the coming of the second Star in the year 1604 in which all the Nations of the World shall know the Lord Jesus Christ to be the Saviour of the World And forasmuch as it hath been conjectured that the Downfall of Antichrist should be in the year 1666 after the Worlds Redemption and they have all along reckoned their time from the Birth of our Saviour but therein have they been deceived for it cannot be reckoned that the World was Redeemed before Christ offered himself a Living Sacrifice for all Mankind which makes thirty three years difference now if we add thirty three years to 1666 that will bring us to the year 1699 in which year will be laid the Foundation of that Kingdom of Peace and in which all the World shall be blessed And the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Sagittarius 1722 will destroy all the Opinions of the Pagans all over the whole World and reduce all to the Faith of our Saviour Jesus Christ but not as it is now Established for all Contrariety of Opinions will be laid open to the Shame of all those professing of the Name of Christ and that Law shall come to be observed without Compulsion Love thy Neighbour as thy self No more cheating of the World with Shadows but God will send down his Spirit upon all his Ministers in such a manner that all Nations shall submit to Mount Zion and Mankind throughout all the World shall love God with all their Hearts and Justice will flow like Rivers of Water through all Nations Oh! Lord if it be thy Will hasten this time for thy Son's Sake CHAP. VI. Being a Suplement to the Judgments of Comets Where in the two late Comets Viz. that which appeared in the year 1680 and that which appeared in 1682 are Astrologically handled BEfore we come to write our particular Judgment of these two Comets it will be needful that we consider a time when to set a Figure of that from thence a Judgment may be drawn according to Art Now that time I take to be the time as soon as the Day-light Would permit and that was at an hour after Sun set the 17th day of December 1680.
