A TRUE PERPETVALL PROGNOSTICATION for the Year 1632.  
Being Leap year, and for all years to come. Declaring what shall fall out in time coming, with a rule to teach every one the airt of memory.  
Every year is like to be Leap year, if Div●rs and Bankcrupts, may have money on band or trust.  
By Allan Makcouldy lover of the Mathematics.  Tempore patet occulta veritas. In time appeareth hidden truth. 
DUBLINE Printed for my comerauds. 1632.   

To the Printer.  
GOOD PRINTER, I have taken occasion to set forth the Treatise following, under the title of a perpetual Prognostication; I have offered the same to you to be put to the Press, and thereafter publish it to all such as will desire the same for money, if thy benefit be great, it shall breed me much contentment: Take pains that the faults therein be corrected, and the same rightly printed: so shall you enable me to endeavour myself to put a more profitable work in thine hands, I rest.  
Allan Makcouldy.   

A brief computation of such things as are past and what would be prevented this year 1632. and all years hereafter.  
Every one may know their own age by the Ministers record who baptised them, except there be no register thereof.  
Howsoever every one may know their own offences both against God and thy neighbour.  
Repent and turn, thou knowest not if you shall live an hour which is less than a year.  
Remember thy mortality.  
Remember Christ's death.  
Remember the deceitfulness of the world.  
Remember the joys of Heaven.  
Remember the pains of Hell.  
Fly vice, inquire for peace, and follow after it, without the which, none can please God.  

The mooveable Feasts.  
Every mooveable Feast is when each neighbour dynes and sups with others in their houses,   


 
THis double heart which to our view appear,  
Intends to practise mischief all this year  
One thing to think and yet to do another,  
For worldly gain to murder friend or brother:  
God knows thy thoughts, and will thy deeds resent,  
Hells be thy portion, except thou soon repent.   Nimis delicatus es frater, si vis gaudere cum mundo, & laetari cum Christo, Ye are nice brother if ye look to enjoy Christ and the World.  

The year hath four Quarters.  

Of Winter.  
THis Quarter beginneth at the accustomed time, & endeth when the Spring beginneth. This season is cold, and more will resort to Taverns, and Wine sellers, to enjoy the juce of the Wine, Beire, and spirit of Malt: then to seek salt Peter for the resisting of the enemy: It may fall out that such as be hot blooded and young, may assay their skill to be minders in these sellers, but if the tool be blunt and fail them, their labour will be nought, and such Powder will give no fire.  
This season, old men shall be unable of the joints, and shall be more fit to be in the court of Bacchus, than Venus: Aries is likely to govern their heads, specially of such as have young wives: Most men shall marry wives to be their helpers, but their wives shall overrule them, and rather become their halters to lead them to do what they please: And he that wants a good wife may be monstrous angry, and avail himself nothing at all.  
Young women and such as are of a mid age, shall be desirous to be governed by Scorpio, in the court of Sagitarius: For the help of all men to make them the more able to pleasure the wives: let them eat good meat, and drink strong drink: and to entertain chastity, let the wives eat barley bread and drink water.   

Of the Spring.  
THE Spring beginneth when the Musician tuneth his instruments and beginneth to play, and endeth when they are weary and receives their wages: This season will be windy, specially at the sounding of bagepipes, whistels, and Trumpets.  
Skippers and mariners will do well not to procrastinate their home coming if occasion serve them, but to louse their anchors, and taikels, and heife their sails, otherwise it may fall out that if their wives be frustrate of their company they will   

contention of the people; they shall be counted most happy that can eshew both and live in peace, and who delights to do in the contrary, shall be so troubled in their mind, that they shall think that all things seems to their untemperate brain, like the noise of many waters. 
 Aquae multae, tribulationes multa, Many waters, many troubles.  
Curtizens, punks, and panders shall abound, and to cover their evil deeds, they shall take other names and surnames to them, and deny their true names, and so imitate the Witchest they that are enticed with them are like them, and shall be partakers of their punishments, they shall bring a man to a morsel of bread saith Solomon: I think they shall forsake such trade of life, when Tailors, Websters', and Millers become leil and steals none.  
Some men for worldly gain, shall not be ashamed to know that their wives doth make them Cuckolds, and shall consent thereto, but honest people shall say to them, woe be to you Cuckolds that ever you were borne, your wives hath made you monsters, and makes you bear Horns.  
They shall reply, 
That is no great matter, what am I the worse:  
She makes me live a gentleman, and putteth money in my purse.   
Omnes leges bonae definitionis, verae penitentiae. 
 In this age young men shall become as monster & capped, & shall cover their heads with that which men used to wear upon their feet.  
Sturdie Beggars, and Tiuklers, bands and promises, may be as well trusted as the Pope's pardons.  
Papists, jesiuts, and Masspriests may abound in all vices, because the Pope will give them as many pardons for every sin as may be packed in a  of Muck-creils: Ille de Creatore desperat quiru creaturam spem ponit, He dispares of the Creator that puts his trust in a creature.   

Of Harvest.  
IT is the best Harvest for thiefs, when they cut many purses, Mutton is in greater request with them then Beef, because they can steal 40. sheep out of a fold, before they can steal an ox out of a stall 
Mirmidonum, Dolopumve aut duri miles Vlissis  
Temperet a lachrymis.—  
Who can pity or ponder those things but with tears   
Witches and Sorcerers shall abound this season, for gain many shall favour them, these Witches by spells and charms, will use many cures prejudicial to Physicians, but more prejudical to their patients who believes in them for preventing of such wickedness: judges should obey God's word, not to suffer a Witch to live, and but respect of persons, should try all suspect Witches, and who are found guilty should be delivered to the executioners to be bound up to the King's peace in a Sanct johnstoun ribbon, and thereafter to be purged by the element of fire coals and tarbarels.   

and to save thy money better in time coming, if thou be wise.  
If thy horse want meat in thy default, when thou rides a journey, his weakness, and sweatnesse, and hindrance of thy journey, will put thee in remembrance to feed him better in time coming or else resolve to go on thy foot in time coming.  
If the season be cold it will remember thee to put on more , providing thou have them.  
He that remembers not to be thy friend in thy just adoes, neither for prayer, blood, alliance, or others obligations of love; give him gold or silver & that will make him remember thee.  
A man that will not cherish his wife, and keep at home with her but forgets these duties, it may be she can make moyen for herself, to supply thy neglects, while thou remember to do these things thyself.  
He or she that lends their , money, or household stuff to their neighbour, and hath not the like themselves to put on or use, necessity shall remember them to seek back their own and happily cannot have it.  
Let God's benefits in this life, and the joys of Heaven in the life to come, make thee repent thee of thy sinful life: flee sin in time coming, resist the Devil, fear GOD, and keep his commandments: So shall thy life be happy, thy death more happy, and thy peace in heaven happiest of all.    
FINIS.
