Ecclesiastical Affairs he portends great Superstition Idolatry Hypocrisie Monkery Jesuitism and all the several Orders of the Church of Rome and he doth signifie all manner of Debauchery and Baseness under Religious Pretences all manner of Sects Schisms Heresies Jewish Superstitions and Ceremonies Unto Mankind in general he threatens great and difficult labour poverty and want to many he afflicts the Body with tedious Infirmities and Diseases as the Consumption in the Reins and inward parts ill and noysome Vapours from whence proceed a Plague Hectick Fevers destruction of Rheum Quartan Agues and such like Diseases as are not easily remedied by the most Skilful Physician he afflicts the Mind with sorrow and fear of lamentable trouble as also Banishment and long imprisonments And as to natural things he portends great want and scarcity destruction of Cattel Corn and Fruits Famine and Mortality unwholesome Airs cold cloudy misty soggy Weather and long and tedious Frosts As to the Sea he signifies Shipwrack and great damage by ruine and decay of Sea banks from whence comes great Inundation of Waters great scarcity of Fish and Fowl that belong to the Waters Of Persons he signifies those of superiour Rank and Quality because he is the highest of all the Planets and moves the slowest and he doth seldom apply to any Planet therefore he signifies great Princes and stable Monarchs but in the general he signifies the laborious Country men Husbandmen Farmers Yeomen c. And in this Conjunction he signifies a deceitful sordid pernicious sort of People who will inhabit in the Court of Princes and Kings who will undermine and subvert the more wholesome purposes intended but I say all these sort of People shall suffer great loss of their Estates and shall obtain in the room thereof unexpected Slaughters Imprisonments Banishments and the like The last time we had Mars in Conjunction of Saturn in Leo was the 10th of August 1650 the December following we had a Comet appeared and I have good reason to predict the appearance of more Comets before 1683 be over let any one but look into the Annals for 1653 and 1654 and they will find what followed that Conjunction 1652 but seeing that the effects of this Conjunction of Saturn and Mars can't last but for two years and Mars being swift in motion at the time of the Conjunction even so shall all that is portended by this Conjunction be as swift in motion viz. Armies shall run like Lightning over a great many Countrys of Europe and shall bring more under subjection in 2 years than any Armies have done for this ten years last past and forasmuch as Christianity was first preacht by Christ our Saviour under the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Leo and now Mars being in Conjunction in this Sign with Saturn and having of the greater power will afflict Christianity with the Sword more than ordinary At the time of this famous Conjunction we find Mars newly entered into Virgo in Quartile to the great Conjunction 1603 and moveth but slowly from whence the evils signified by Mars to be of long continuance viz. War and Bloudshed Virgo is held to be sign of the Conjunction before the coming in of the Normans and Mars hath not been in Virgo in neither of the Conjunctions since 1603 therefore may more than ordinary events follow the more because Mars before the second Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter January 1682 3 will pass the Quartile of Saturn and Jupiter 1603 and also the Quartile of Saturn Jupiter and the New Star 1604 and the Quartile of Sol and Venus and the Opposition of the Moon 1603 and comes to the Conjunction of his own place 1603 and all before Saturn and Jupiter meets the second time let but any one consider the position of Mars the first time the two Superiours meet and they will find cause enough to dread the evils of Mars Now Mars being placed in the 9th from the Conjunction 1603 and meeting with the Quartile of Mercury Lord thereof first all those places that are under the gubernation of Mercury will feel the smart of the influence of Mars now because Mercury is posited in Sagitarius in the great Conjunction and Mars casting his Square there out of the 9th of that Conjunction those places shall feel the heavy effect of Mars viz. Wars now the places under Sagitarius are Spain Dalmatia Sclavonia Hungary Moravia with abundance of more Countrys and Cities that are under the position of Sagitarius for their Ascendant these places must expect to have great Calamity some of them shall suffer by Invasion others by Plague others by Famine and a great destruction of Mankind in general Mereury generally signifies all manner of Arts and Sciences as also Merchants these sorts of Men must expect to be great sufferers by the power of Mars viz. great Storms from whence comes great Shipwracks Mercury and Gemini govern Flanders part of England and Lumbardy Brabant the Dukedom of Wertenburgh London Corduha in Spain Bruges in Flanders Mentz and a many more places that are not yet attributed to Gemini in these places may expect to have Commotions for Mars is the stirrer up of Wars damnable Seditions Tumults Insurrections the frowns and indignation of Princes towards their Subjects caused by Mars he being Lord of the 11th and 12th of the great Conjunction 1603 and is placed near the Cusp of the 10th of that Conjunction he doth by the Positions represent Noblemen that should be in great favour of Princes but are great enemies of the People in general if we place Gemini upon the Cusp of the Ascendant we shall find the Tory Mars to be placed in fifth in Quartile to the Sign Ascending he being Lord of the 12th and in his last Conjunction with Jupiter in Leo he opposed the 10th what can we expect from hence but that Mars should act like a Tory as he is among the Stars setting all together by the Ears and that now publickly in those places under Gemini and he will be as well rewarded for his pains for Mars is placed in the Eighth the House of Death of the Full Moon preceding the Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter 1682 if we place Aries upon the Ascendant we shall find both the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars and Jupiter and Mars and Jupiter fall all of them in the 6th in Quartile to the intercepted Sign Taurus in the Ascendant and the Sun Lord of the 6th having lately suffered an Eclipse in the 6th all these will cause both the great and small Cattle to suffer by Diseases to the detriment of the Country Farmer that lives in those Countrys subject to the Sign Aries the more because Mars is in Quartile to the second if we consider the place where Mars casteth his Opposition we shall find it to be in Pisces and Pisces is assigned by Astrologers to govern Portugal Galitia Normandy with the Citys of Rhems Worms and Ratisbon and many more places this

beginning which will continue now until almost all Italy is lost which will be in 3 or 4 years after this yet is poor Oxford afflicted that City will find what it is to have a Comet appear in their Sign but be thou patient when thou hast been tryed thou wilt appear like burnished Gold it is in vain to contend with so Potent an Enemy as thou hast to deal with this being all the hath to boast of that her sufferings are not alone There is a Family in Europe that had its rise to greatness about the Year 1344 that Family now will find a downfal for ever the Name of Percys had their Original about the year 1067 under a Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Virgo and the Conjunction in Pisces 1642 3 brought that Name and Family to nothing SECT 16. Of the Astrological Judgment of the Year 1698. IN this year we have no Directions of the great Conjunction only we have the Mid-heaven of the appearance of the New Star 1604 to this Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter 1682 we have also a famous Conjunction of Saturn and Mars in 18 degrees of Aquarius in Opposition to the Conjunction 1682 and 1683.

Of the Astrological Judgment of the Year 1699. THis year we have the great Conjunction 1603 comes by direction to the Opposition of Mercury and the Sun to the Opposition of Mars and Venus to the Opposition of Mars and the Moon to the body of Mars also and we have the New Star 1604 comes by direction to the Quartile both of the Sun and Venus besides the effects of the last Conjunction of Saturn and Mars last year and the Opposition of Saturn and Mars this year Besides we have no less than 4 Eclipses this Year The first will be an Eclypse of the Moon on March the 5th day at 8 of the Clock at Night in 26 degrees of Scorpio visible The second will be of the Sun on March the 21st day about 8 of the Clock in the morning in 11 degrees of Aries The third will be an Eclypse of the Moon on August the 30th near Noon in 17 degrees of Pisces The last will be an Eclypse of the Sun on the 13th day of September about 11 of the Clock in the Morning in 1 degree of Libra and much about the time of this Eclypse there happens the Opposition of Saturn and Mars which will aggravate the effects thereof Great will be the Action of this Year those Villanies that have for many years been kept as a Secret will now be made known to every one All Nations will be troubled with Rumors of Wars every Religion preparing Armies Traffick prohibited both by Land and Sea the Main Sea shall hugely swell with mighty Tempests so that the Sea banks in many places shall overflow their accustomed bounds Inundations universally every where now Holland look to thy self terrible Sea Fights will be this Year occasioning the water to look more red than the Red Sea the water turned to Blood War and Blood shed over all the Earth one Nation shall send so many Men to the Wars that it for a time shall seem to be desolate of Men in the Eastern part of the World a whole Army shall be destroyed by Fire from Heaven with their Wealth and Treasure There shall also be a great drought and want of Water and the Earth shall be so parched that there will be no food for Cartle Great Plagues and War shall cover the whole face of the Earth and so destroy Mankind that there will not be sufficient Labourers to get in Harvest and the Vermin shall so destroy the Fruit on Trees that all be barren a general Famine and Dearth of Corn will overspred most Nations of Europe so that Thousands shall starve for want of Bread yet at the last we have a Sextile of Saturn and Jupiter each of them being in their own House Now shall one appear suddenly a great Conquerour the World filled with the fame of this Man who shall all of a sudden give Peace to all Europe Oh!
