concern that Kingdom or City But in a Solar Eclipse it is necessary besides that the Sun be above the Earth and that his place agree to the Kingdom or City that the Eclipse be also visible to the Kingdom or City or otherwise the Effects shall in no wise concern the one or the other Now the Solar Eclipse here by him mentioned is not visible at all to us for it appears in the Islands de S. Pedro Barbados de Don Alfonso de Praxaros and to such as Sail beyond the Equator and under the Tropick of Capricorn through the Persian Sea And indeed in 13 and 14 deg of North Latitude it will be a very great Eclipse but of what concernment is this to England or why should it put forward this Lunar Eclipse in January seeing it is neither visible to us for at London it happeneth at their 11 a Clock at Night and so the Luminaries are both under the Horizon nor yet is the degree Eclipsed in the Sign or Triplicity of that Sign whereunto either England or Scotland are thought to be subject which is required by Cardanus his Rule before the Effects can concern either Whereby it appears that this Non-apparent Solar Eclipse can no way help or harm us nor augment or put forward the Effects of the Lunar Eclipse and that William Lilly in thus preferring his own idle Fancy beyond the Experience and more solid Reasons and Rules of Campanella Cardanus and of all other Authors that ever I read or heard of hath very much abused the Reader and rendred himself a very Novice and fondling in Astrology As touching the Lunar Eclipse in January 1647. I have writ of it already in my Prognostication wherein you may see what the Effects of it are and those that desire further satisfaction may have recourse to Origanus pag. 460. upon Mercury's being Lord of an Eclipse as he is of this But although this Lunar Eclipse be visible and fall out in a Sign of the Fiery Triplicity and in that respect doth generally concern England Yet in regard it is so small viz. but 4 digits 47 min. 42 sec. its Effects will scarcely be felt or observed by any body For as Eclipses nihil nocent illis Regionibus in quibus non videntur So parvae Eclipses parum nocent in pauca operantur It is true as both Lilly in his Anglicus and I in my Prog. have in effect observed that in caeremoniis religione to which he adds in reditibus regiis ac legibus mutationes affert A likelyhood as he saith of some change or alteration in Church-Affairs in the Revenues of Kings or more properly in such matters as at present the Parliament make use of for maintenance of their Wars and Affairs and of altering or abolishing many Laws formerly in use All this I grant him and why may it not admit of thus much malignancy in the application thereof viz. That the Kingdom are weary of the Presbyterial Government and will not endure the smell of Elders for Gentlemen are commonly Scholars and do Naturally affect freedom in the Exercise of their Religion and scorn to be constrained to give an account of their Belief to Broom-men Coblers Taylors and Tinkers or to any such Illiterate Mechanick and Profane Fellows or to subject their Understandings to the sense and Interpretation of so unsanctified a Society and shall therefore wish for and must justly endeavour a change of Government in the Church So likewise may His Majesties Revenue so long detained from him be in a better possibility of regaining or in some part restored to him or at least great means used to perswade those that have Usurped the Possession and Profits thereof to resign and account And that many Ordinances Orders and Votes that have passed and been formerly enjoyn'd and observed as Laws must admit of alteration and abolishment But as I have formerly noted these things will not be done effectually this Year in regard of the smalness of the Defect so that we shall be scarce sensible of its Operation Yet without all doubt the Dragons Head in the tenth House in the intercepted Sign Cancer bodes very much good to His Majesty to be begun and wrought by the Scottish Nation who shall partake of that Influence And whereas Lilly adds that Celerem Regis Principis vel nobilissimi viri alicujus infirmitatem vel praeclari viri cujuspiam mortem adducit That this small Eclipse portends some sudden Infirmity or Casualty to a King Prince or Worthy Man perhaps some eminent and Famous Man's Death c. He had done well to have cited his Author or given his Reasons for what he says here for I cannot pick out any such signification from this Eclipse as Mercury is truly and really Lord thereof Nor as he hath made Mars and Saturn to be sharers with him Indeed Mars stirs up Wars Intestine Seditions Tumultuous Uproars the wrath of Princes and by that means some unexpected slaughter And Saturn premonstrates perturbation of the Humours Fluxes and Quartan Fevers Poverty and Banishment Dearth Penury c. But I find no such sudden Infirmity or Casualty to befall any King or Prince c. as he chatters of yet I 'le undertake for him that if Prince Griffith should but this Year fall asunder of the Pox the next Year after Lilly will tell you that this Prediction was verified in him Nor know I any Reason why Scotland should be at all concerned in it seeing the Eclipse happeneth in the Fiery Trigon and that the Ascendant of Scotland which is Cancer is of another viz. the Watry Triplicity nor at all Asspected by the Sign wherein the Eclipse happeneth nor afflicted by either of the Malevolents but rather Fortified by the presence of the Dragons Head in it as before I noted in the Mid-heaven and although the Eclipsed Body be Dispositrix of the Sign Cancer yet for the Reasons formerly given the Effects of the Eclipse cannot be at all discerned in Scotland or scarce in any part of England and therefore it is but a foolery in William Lilly to make such a fluttering and a noise about nothing But I am well pleased to hear him scatter that one truth if so it prove that the Scots will stand like Oaks unshaken to their first Principles c. It behoves some body else to remember their Covâ—nant c. And truly the Scots do owe William Lilly a great many thanks for his confiding Epithets But I fear I fear I shall hear him ere long lash out of his open Sepulchre as much and us vildly as ever he did against the King and the Cavaliers though now he Court them with the Titles of Prudent and Wise People I hope they will be Wise enough for those they are to deal with What he says against the Irish is not material The more the Fox is curs'd the better he thrives But I suspect Lilly to be one of those London Adventurers who were dividing the Bears Skin
marked by a different Letter he hath quite expunged whereby it is plain that this Aphorism hath but little force unless that Jupiter were in the fifteenth degree of Cancer which now he is not or that he received the disposition of the Fortunes which in this Revolution he doth not for Jupiter is in the 28 deg 25 min. of Cancer and within 3 degrees of Malevolent Mars whereby he is much afflicted and weakened And although he be in the Sign of his Exaltation yet he is there slow in motion Occidental of the Sun and Retrograde and Planeta Retrogradus nihil boni significat donec dirigatur A Retrograde Planet hath no signification of that which is good until he be direct It is true that within five days he begins to move slowly forward yet that brings him to a perfect Conjunction with Mars the 23 d. day of March and they will not be fully separated from each others Beams of a sudden by which Jupiter is very much debilitated And notwithstanding that Mars is in his Fall yet he is the strongest save one in the Figure so that I cannot perceive upon what ground in Astrology he should Prognosticate of Peace and Tranquility from the Position of Jupiter in the latter part of Cancer considering him so weak and unhappy by reason of his Conjunction with Mars c. and that he stays no longer in that Sign than the 15 of April Besides let him consider what Massahalach tells him Conjunctio Jovis Martis significat accidentia quae fiunt ex pluviis nivibus corruptionem aëris atque bellum Si autem vincit in eorum Conjunctione fortuna significat fortunam si malus malum Scito etiam quia quotiescunque juncta fuerit fortuna cum malo apparebit natura fortioris eorum c. The Conjunction of Jupiter and Mars hath signification of such Events as are caused of Rain and Snow It fore-tells corruption of the Air and War And if a Fortune predominate at the time of their Conjunction he signifieth that which is wholsome and good but if a Malevolent the contrary Understand also that so often as a Fortunate Planet shall be joyned with a Malevolent the natural Effects of that which is strongest shall appear Now if William Lilly could but have set a Figure rightly to the apparent time of this Conjunction of Jupiter and Mars which happens by the Rudolphine Tables upon the 23 d. day of March at seven a Clock and 14 min. P. M. in the Meridian of London and would but have taken the pains to collect the several Fortitudes and Debilities of each Planet at the time of their Meeting he might have found Mars much stronger than Jupiter and likewise elevated above him secundum Latitudinem he might also have observed the Conjunction to be in Scotland's Horoscopical Sign and near the Cusp of the 10 th House Saturn their Senators Significator unfortunately posited in the House of Death c. And the Moon His Majesties as being Lady of the tenth House and Dispositrix of the Conjunction in the fifth in a mutual Reception with Jupiter beholding Saturn with a Sextile Aspect and the Sign Cancer with a Trine and Venus yet in her Detriment and applying to the Quartile Aspect of Jupiter and Mars And the Sun the other Significator of His Majesty in his Exaltation c. with Mercury in the 6 th House from the Ascendant Which several Positions being deliberately considered and rightly applyed could have afforded him but small ground of pronouncing Peace and Tranquility Moreover Conjunctio Jovis Martis significat mortem divitis magnae famae idque eo fortius si fuerit in Signo fixo The Conjunction of Jupiter and Mars portends the Death of a Rich and Famous Man and so much the rather if it happen in a fixed Sign but Cancer is a moveable Sign and by so much the less fear there is of the Death of such a Person I raâ—her conceive that this Aphorism presages only thaâ— some such Person shall have his Honour and may be his Life questioned and be thereby in some peril of being deprived of both However you may perceive by what hath been said that William Lilly hath greatly deceived the Reader by this false Quotation out of Bonatus and that all things considered he had no cause or ground in Astrology to delude the World with a vain hope of Peace and Tranquility when nothing but Contention Warring and Bloodshed is threatned by the great dominion of Mars and the infortunate positure of Jupiter in the Revolution And if Lilly would learn when this shall happen Leopaldus will tell him Belli tempus est cum fuerit Mars in opposito vel Quartili aspectu Jovis vel Saturni When Mars shall be in an Opposite or Quartile Aspect of Jupiter or Saturn And when 's that Let but our Ephemeris-Master look in May 1647. and against the 22. day he shall find a hateful Square beâ—ween Saturn and Mars and in October following upon the 21 day will be a most terrible Opposition of Saturn and Mars which will be very dreadful and Ominous to many parts of England and Scotland and upon the 28 day of the same October is another Square betwixt Jupiter and Mars And no doubt but we shall hear of much Contention and Blood-shed about those times I have noted every of these Aspects before mentioned in my Kalendar for 1647. against the day of the Month whereon they happen to which I refer you Lilly In the interim lâ—t those whom it may concern and many are herein concerned receive from me this Astrological Cabal Judgment either in jest or in earnest as they please c. He or they King or Kings Prince or Princes Nobles Gentlemen or of any Quality soever shall endeavour the advance of a Foreign Army or State amongst us as it is certainly determined to Yoke us and destroy this present Parliament he or they shall never attain his or their desires shall pâ—rish in the Design shall never again make his or their Peace with this Kingdom of England I know we are threatned it must be so but woe to the Invader Invaders or procurers of our Invasion the Invaded shall prevail viz. the Parliament and Commonalty of England and although we shall be in danger of betraying yet shall we behold another Providence contradicting that Treachery even in the nick of time for this Kingdom of England is not ordained until the Worlds end to be any more Conquered we shall give but not receive Laws c. Wharton All the Ambition and Aim of this trifling Fellow is to be thought a Necromancer a Conjurer another Lullius Trithemius or the Ghost of Agrippa or what ever you will have him to be so he may but obtain a popular esteem and by that means more easily cozen and cheat the poor People of their Money for otherwise why should he muster such a confused heap of ridling trash without giving any Reason or
