AN EPHEMERIS FOR The Year 1654.  
Being the second after Leap-year.  
Together with a judgement, 1. On the great Eclipse of the SUN, August 2. 2. On the Opposition of Saturn and Jupiter. 3. On the quarterly Ingresses of the Sun into the Equinoctial and Solstitial Points. 4. Monthly Observations.  
By NICH CULPEPER, Gent. Student in Astrology and physic.  MATTH. 16. vers. 2, 3. When it is evening ye say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red; and in the morning It will be foul weather to day, for the sky is red and lowering. O ye Hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky, but can ye not discern the Signs of the Times? 
London, Printed by John Macock for the Company of STATIONERS. 1654.   

I Have three things of consequence to treat of this Year, and scarce two sheets of paper allowed me to write my Judgement in; therefore upon that account let me be 〈…〉 if I give not 〈◊〉 Reasons for all I write, as my usual custom is; and the truth is, I see neither reason nor experience will satisfy unreasonable men.  

The things I shall treat of, are these:  
1. The Opposition of Saturn and Jupiter.  
2. The Eclipse of the Sun.  
3. The general judgement of the Year.   
Of all these in order, and in the same order they were laid down.  

This being the last and greatest ☍ of ♄ and ♃ I intended at first to write of, and of none of the precedent: I call it the last, because there will not be another almost this thirty years, the next ☌ intervening: I call it the greatest, because they are both with great and eminent fixed Stars of the first magnitude, viz. Saturn with the Basilisk, or lion's heart, Jupiter with Fomahand, and therefore this requires the more diligent speculation, and the more exact disquisition; and therefore before I begin, it is not amiss to see if it may be paralleled in by-gone Ages; and this is very difficult, if not impossible, to be done, by one who hath so little time to read Histories as I have: that which comes nearest to it in resemblance, happened anno 1434. at which time Saturn and Jupiter made an Opposition from the latter ends of Leo and Aquary, about which time appeared a most terrible Comet, and so there may do now for aught that I know; nay I verily believe, there will sometimes this year appear such a Comet as will amaze the beholders. Kind Countrymen, let this be one Article of your Faith, That the Eternal God of Heaven and Earth shows nothing in vain: When God shows Wonders in the Heavens above, and Signs in the Earth beneath, than is the time approaching when he will pour out his Spirit upon flesh, when he will bring his people out of Babylon, or Confusion, which you will, and make Jerusalem the glory of all the world. But to proceed:  
In the same year 1434. the Venetians and Florentines made War against his Holiness the Pope, and might have done glorious things had their principles been good, for away run his Holiness, as fast as a Hare before a kennel of Hounds, and was glad at heart (I'll warrant him) he could scape so: A general Council was held at Bazil, as there is at Ratisbone, at the writing hereof, where the Pope permitted the Bohemians to receive their Sacrament in both kinds, whereas both before and since the Priests drink up all the wine themselves, and leave the people almost choke with their breaden God: But here came all the mischief, afterwards these Princes, when they had 〈◊〉 the Pope out of S. Peter's Chair, like a company of mad Dogs, or Bedlam men, fell out, and went together by the ears one with another. The truth is, I cannot stand relating Histories: An ☍ of ♄ and ♃ seldom happens but it signifies Kings and Magistrates shall be deposed, expecially such whose Kingdoms are under the Signs which the opposing Planets are in; neither did I ever read of such a memorable ☍ of ♄ and ♃ as this is; it is worth the noting, that such an ☍ should succeed such a strange and not to be parall ☌ as the last was, accompanied with such a formidable Eclipse of the Sun, as this will, in the same sign, and near the same degree where Saturn is at the ☍.  
The Pope begins generally to be hated throughout the world, and 'tis but time; the fall of Rome approacheth, but not this year: I could almost afford to be afraid of a dearth of Corn and cattle, by reason of the exceeding intemperance of the year, one way or another, as Ovid saith;  
Et modo Sol nimius, nimius 〈◊〉 corripit imbor,  
Sidera nunc ventique nocent, avidaque volueres  
S●●ina jacta laedunt, lolium iribalique fatigant  
Trisicsas noeffes, & inexpugnabile granters.  
Now too much drought annoys, now lodging showers Stars smitch, Winds blast, the greedy Fowl devours The new sown grain, Rintare and Darnel tire The fettered Wheat, and Quitch that through it spi●●.  
It were well if our Parliament would take some course that there might not be so much Corn spent in waste, it being easy to be proved that there is more Corn drunk down in strong liquour in one day in London, then would suffice the poor a week, perhaps a fortnight; all which lies in the power of our State to amend, by making an Act, That Brewers should not brew their bear so strong: neither hath any County to my knowledge yet so much as petitioned them about such a business, so tender (over the left shoulder) an rich men toward the good of the poor: Let me entreat the present Parliament to eternalise their Names to posterity in performing so good, so righteous a work, that it may be said of them hereafter, they have done something toward the good of this Nation; in so doing the poor would not want bread, neither could that beastly sin of Drunkenness rage in this Nation as now it doth: and let me tell them this, and I will tell them but the truth, It would be a work more acceptable in the sight of God, then seven years fasting and praying: I would to God they would read at their leisures Isa●● 58. 6, 7, 8. Is not this the Fast that I have chosen? 〈◊〉 loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free; and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? When thou seest the naked, that thou cover him, and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily, as thy righteousness shall go before thee, the glory of the Lord shall be thy rearward.  
As for this present ☍ it happens in the eighth House of the ♂, if the received figure of the ♂ by the Rudolphin Tables be true; and therefore it signifies death to marry, and those no mean ones neither; let time tell you who they be, that will speak truth when I may not.  
But that we may be a little clear in this, let us see what parts of the world are under Leo and Aquary, Taurus and Scorpio, for in all probability the ☍ will bite hardest upon them.  
Under ♉ aro, Russia, Polonia the great, Ireland, Lorraine, Campania, Helvetia, Rhetia, Franconia, Parthia, Porfia, the Islands of Cyclades, Cyprus, and the Sea. Towns of Asia the less. Of Cities and Towns, Bononia, Sena, Mantua, Tarentum, Sicila, Parma, Brixia, Tigure, 〈◊〉 Nantz, Lipsig, Posnania &c.  
Under ♌ is, Gallia, Togata, the Alps, Italy, Sicity, Apulia, Bohemia, a part of Turkey, Phoenicia, Caldaea: Of Cities and Towns, 〈◊〉 Syracuse, Rome, Ravenna, Cremona, 〈◊〉, Confluence, Prauge, Lintz, Cremisum.  
Under ♏ is, Norway the higher, Bavaria, Comagena, Capadocia, 〈◊〉, Mauritania, the Kingdom of Fez, Gethulia, 〈◊〉: Of Cities and Towns, Algires. Valence in Spain, Trapezant, Vrbinum, Aquilia, Pistorium, 〈◊〉, Forum, Tarvisium, Messana, Vienna in France, Monachinus, Francford upon other.  
Under ♒ is, Amazania, Sarararia, great Tartary, Valachia, Moscovia, the South part of Swediand, Westphalia, Mosel, Piedmont, part of Bavaria, Aethiopia, Sogdiana, Media, Arabia the desert: Of Cities, Hamborough, Breme, Monsterrat, Pisaurum, Trent, Ingolstate. These, and as many more as God pleases, are like to suffer in the effects of this ☍; ay could almost afford also to be afraid of France, because it hath always suffered upon such like Oppositions as these.  
But to proceed; It threatens War and Bloodshed both in the Eastern and Western parts of the world; Let such as traffic to the East and West Indies have a care of themselves, there 〈◊〉 danger enough, and let them remember I told them of it; but that which may give England some cause of joy amongst so much sadness, it will go near to send many Oppressors to take a supper apud inferos.  
Saturn in the Eleventh before the Counsellors of Princes, and makes them prophecy as truly as Zedochia did when he made him horns of Iron, and wonderfully exhausts their estate, so that Princes will know what it is to want money, 〈◊〉 well as Plebeians. Besides, another mischief will come in the neck of the former, Princes will be subject to break their Leagues one with another, and use pernicious, sly and subtle practices, to the undoing of others first, and themselves afterwards. I would willingly do the Princes of Europe some good, if they were but capable of 〈◊〉 it, not to give too much credence to the flattering Proposals of ambassadors. I hope I shall prevail so far with our English State, as to put them in mind of the old Proverb, All is not Gold that glisters; let them remember I told them of it.  
We find Saturn in this ☍ to be in ♌, which in the zodiac bears the emblem of Majesty, and near the most royal Star of all the zodiac, Cor Leo: It would make a wise man admire what ♄ should do there, he having no more right to the place, than a ploughman or a Coleheaver hath to a Crown. When Naples made 〈◊〉 Allianello, a Fisherman, their Governor, there was a Commonwealth sweetly governed; and so will Saturn carry himself in the 〈◊〉 of this ☍: such 〈◊〉 will rise up to rule Kingdoms, as will perform their places not with a spirit of righteousness, peace, and just judgement, but with rlgor, power, and impudence; not counting godliness great gain, but gain great godliness; not counting covertousness the greatest evil, but the greatest good. Let us also remember, that the ♂ of ♄ and ♃ was in the sixth House of this figure, and Mars in the very place of the ♂; whence for all that I know there may Wars ensue it, especially in such places as are under the sign ♓; such are, 〈◊〉, Calabria, Portugal, Galitia, Normandy, Garomantes, Lydia, Pamphylia, Egypt the higher: 〈◊〉 Cities and Towns, Alexandira, Hispalis, Compostellae, Worms, Ratisbone. Besides, ♓ being a Sea sign, Piracies will be very frequent: the plain truth is, all Europe will be together by the ears; and if you look upon them and upon Bedlam, you would know no difference, but only one is bigger than the other, such a madness possesses their heads.  
I had almost forgotten poor Jupiter, and yet I should be loath, according to the custom of the world, to leave a man in his extremity: Jupiter is in the fifth House, but makes but ill-favoured sport, neither can be merry in the House of pastimes, because opposed by Saturn; I am afraid it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Abortion, or hard labour to women with child, let them labour to prevent it in time.  
Mars and Venus in ♂ in the Sixth 〈◊〉 many diseases arising from whoredom; indeed I am afraid the 〈◊〉 pox will be as 〈◊〉 in London this year, as ever it was 〈◊〉 London was a City.  
The Moon is upon the 〈◊〉 of the ninth House, which signifies such Religion as the present times 〈◊〉; and in 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, though with the 〈◊〉, and head of 〈◊〉, as though the Clergy should be 〈◊〉 about this time, or rather horn-mad, and run upon such 〈◊〉 designs (as they know how) 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 should bring all the Nation into trouble 〈◊〉, and themselves to the axe or the Rope at last. Our own 〈◊〉 record, that Cardinal 〈◊〉, when the Pope was dead, wrote to the King 〈◊〉 France to make him Pope, and if he would not, he sent him word he would make such a rustling amongst Christian Princes, as should make all Europe 〈◊〉. Gentle Clergy, be not angry with me, he was a man of your own Coat, and if you follow his steps, you must expect his reward, which what it was you are not ignorant.  
In this figure the Lady of the Tenth applies to the Lady of the Ascendent, having lately passed the Lord of the ninth and Twelfth; as who should say, the underhand dealiugs of the Clergy will be made manifest to the people, and they will be willing to be priestridden no longer, nor pay so much money for a few words that 〈◊〉 nothing: and 〈◊〉 all 〈◊〉 read this, take notice what I say; this year is like to prove a dark and dismal year to the Clergy.  
It were worth the knowing, when these times 〈◊〉 probably like to have an end, when England may expect to see better days: This 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 us see if we can prove by rules of Art, and so we will conclude this 〈◊〉.  
That the last ☌ of Saturn and Jupiter signified a change of Government throughout the world. 〈◊〉 tells you in his Book 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Mundi; it signifies, saith he, some new kind of Government to come into the world: Aslo Mr Lilly in that admirable piece of his, his Prophetical Merline, pag. 27, 28. gives you these very words: Let the inhabitants of Europe in general observe, that as this 〈◊〉 is in an aquatical sign, so the effects proceeding from thence will be such, and of such like quality and operation, as sire is to water, or water to sire: for as water 〈◊〉 and abateth the extraordinary hotness of sire in Natural operations; so this Conjunction 〈◊〉, that what 〈◊〉 is now, or hath been illegally obtained, by any Prince against his Vassals, or by the Nobility and 〈◊〉 against their 〈◊〉 in the 〈◊〉 fiery or commanding, times (when will and pleasure were positive Laws) shall now by the effects depending upon 〈◊〉 Conjunction receive a 〈◊〉 or abatement of their 〈◊〉, 〈◊〉 and oppression, proportionable to the quality of the 〈◊〉 or 〈◊〉 of former 〈◊〉. 〈◊〉, Diff. 2. Chap. 1. Cum 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in 〈◊〉 vel signis 〈◊〉, 〈◊〉 vulgi & mediocrum 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 corum cum regibus in ordine; Viz. When mutation or change of any of these 〈◊〉 is either in 〈◊〉 or 〈◊〉 signs, it 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 estate of the common or mean man to be equal to that of Princes: An 〈◊〉, if judiciously observed, and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, not 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 from 〈◊〉.  
This is 〈◊〉 real truth, and will in due time be 〈◊〉 manifest so to be, for the Government must come into the hands of the people after the Lord hath prepared them for it, and then everlasting Peace, and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 War is like to be in England: This time 〈◊〉 long ago looked for, but it pleased not God that good man should live to see it.  
Let us see now what time we may conjecture by the Rules of Astrology in fulfilling this so great a matter.  
That the last Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter foreshowed it, we told you before; neither is it in the least 〈◊〉 to me, but that this and the other Oppositions will make way for the effecting of it, though not without some difficulty: 〈◊〉 when, that 〈◊〉 thing LIBERTY, which is that all honest men 〈◊〉, when shall we see that, you say? This happily may be in consultation about the latter end of January, 〈◊〉 when Jupiter cuts the place he was in 〈◊〉 his last Conjunction with Saturn. A hopeful time for England may assuredly be expected in March, 1655. when the Sun meets with Jupiter in Aries, but 〈◊〉 brought to perfection before the 〈◊〉 Trines of Saturn and Jupiter. I am curbed for want of paper: The rationality of the whole Art of Astrology, whereby a Reason of such Prognostications as these are may be drawn, I hope will shortly be printed by my special Friend 〈◊〉 William Freeman, Practitioner in physic in Bedford.   

Of the Eclipse of the Sun.  
TWo Eclipses of the Moon happen this Year, though but small ones, which want of paper 〈◊〉 me to omit, and shall only treat of one great 〈◊〉 of the Sun, which I do 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 natural, 〈◊〉 the Priest told his people of the last Eclipse; The Eclipse, quoth he, is natural, and therefore can have no such ill effects as the Astrologers tell you of. God help his calf's head; Is not meat and drink natural, 〈◊〉 yet doth it not nourish? Is not poison natural, and yet doth it not 〈◊〉?  
The truth is, all Eclipses work by 〈◊〉, as I could prove Philosophically, had I paper; but I must come close home to the business.  
I shall give you a double Figure of the Eclipse, both of them for the Meridian 〈◊〉 London; the one from the Tables of 〈◊〉, the other from Vincent Wing's 〈◊〉 Caleste; I hold the first to be the 〈◊〉.  
In point of 〈◊〉 here is 21 min. difference; for my own particular, I rather assent to the Tables of 〈◊〉, than those of our painful countryman, Vincent Wing. If I should say it would be a great Eclipse, I should srighten the City wives, and therefore I must not absolutely tell the truth, you shall see how big it will be when it comes: I take not upon me the part of an Astronomer, to show how many digets will be eclipsed, which is very probable will be almost all but of an ginger, to 〈◊〉 what the 〈◊〉 will be; and what they may probably be, I shall give you my judgement, as far as the paper will 〈◊〉 me, for 〈◊〉 intend to 〈◊〉 no more of this 〈◊〉, neither shall you find me to say one thing, and do another.  
The Lords of this 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and Mars, because they 〈◊〉 both 〈◊〉: 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of the 〈◊〉 Angle, busy in the 〈◊〉 House 〈◊〉 prayers: If 〈◊〉 to the 〈◊〉 Astrologers, 〈◊〉 will take that Planet 〈◊〉 be Lord which 〈◊〉 most 〈◊〉 at the time, Mercury without all dispute of 〈◊〉 story will have the 〈◊〉, 〈◊〉 whom 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 because both 〈◊〉 are 〈◊〉 between 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of Saturn and Mars, I must acknowledge only 〈◊〉 two 〈◊〉; and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 doth but 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 of other Planets, and carries the signification of that Planet ho was last joined withal, till he meets with another, which here was Saturn, and therefore he rather increases the 〈◊〉, than mitigates it.  
There is a Regal fixed Star within the rays of this Eclipse, which some call the lion's heart, and others the Basilisk, a very 〈◊〉 fixed Star, 〈◊〉 honourable; he knows well how to give great honour, and knows as well how to take it away again; he is of the nature of Jupiter and Mars: You may remember I told you before that Eclipses did harm by privation of good, and not by position of evil; if so, 〈◊〉 Cor Leo take away honour as well as give 〈◊〉, why may not this Eclipse do the like?  
In the next place let us see where the Sun is eclipsed; if you take it vulgarly, it is in the second face of Leo, where it signifies great 〈◊〉, and much damage to persons of quality, both Kings and Magistrates: But if you take it according to 〈◊〉 Asterism, it happens then in the first face of Leo, in which are many fixed Stars of 〈◊〉 suffocating 〈◊〉 pestilential nature, it there signifies great 〈◊〉 of Corn and Grain; indeed a famine is to 〈◊〉 feared, the death of some certain famous Prince, or if 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 not his life, he loseth both 〈◊〉 and Treasure.  
Also consider, that 〈◊〉 Sign in which the Eclipse happens is both fixed and violent, 〈◊〉 shows both violence and durability of the 〈◊〉: As for the 〈◊〉 subject to 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, they are the very 〈◊〉 which 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 before 〈◊〉 subject to the 〈◊〉 of the ☍ of 〈◊〉 and Jupiter, therefore I shall not stand to name them again here; and if you do but cast a serious eye upon the 〈◊〉 you may 〈◊〉 a mighty harmony between them, which will mightily increase the evil influence of both.  
To go about to 〈◊〉 whether the influence of this Eclipse will be good or bad, is a thing 〈◊〉 〈◊〉; for what good can be expected, when the great light which God made to rule the day, is eclipsed 〈◊〉 the bodies of Saturn and Mars? Besides, it 〈◊〉 a question to me whether any Eclipses 〈◊〉 good 〈◊〉 not.  
The 〈◊〉 it happens in is the tenth House, which is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 of the Heavens, the 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 rule, and dignity, the highest 〈◊〉 and amongst 〈◊〉 gives signification of Kings, Princes, 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, and indeed such men as these will 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 be subject to the influence of this 〈◊〉; for indeed Spica Virginis upon the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Aicendant 〈◊〉 promise some good to the common people, or at least 〈◊〉 much of the evil 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Eclipse as to them 〈◊〉.  
As for the Lords of the 〈◊〉, there is no question to me 〈◊〉 Saturn and Mars will bear the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉. Let us see in the next place what they 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and if joined 〈◊〉 be the 〈◊〉, the 〈◊〉 are rather like to be worse than better 〈◊〉 Authors speak of. I shall 〈◊〉 only upon the 〈◊〉 of Origanus, as wanting paper to write down what other Authors say: 〈◊〉 Saturn, saith he, be Lord of the Eclipse, he corrupts the fruits of the Earth, 〈◊〉 reason of excessive cold, and 〈◊〉 diseases in the bodies of men, Consumptions, and wastings and pinings away of the whole body, occasioned by some 〈◊〉 of rheum: 〈◊〉 I 〈◊〉 Saturn in Leo cannot choose 〈◊〉 bring 〈◊〉 detriment to the vital spirit, and that may 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 be the reason why those that have written of Mathematical physic say that Saturn in Leo, if 〈◊〉 be 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 sickness, universally afflicts the whole body; 〈◊〉, so 〈◊〉 as here, he dry up 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, causeth Fluxes, quartan Agues 〈◊〉, 〈◊〉, Lamentation, Mourning and 〈◊〉, great 〈◊〉, especially of aged people; 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 life; death of cattle, 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 are for men's use, 〈◊〉 those 〈◊〉 which 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 with 〈◊〉, and man by 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 when they are killed will be sick also; he 〈◊〉 up a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 misty corrupt and 〈◊〉 air, 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of a cold 〈◊〉, misty, foggy Winter to come, with dark 〈◊〉 air, with abu da ce of Snow, 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉: neither 〈◊〉 he 〈◊〉 all his mischief 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉, the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 bear his share also; there he 〈◊〉 up sudden and most 〈◊〉 Tempests, manifold Ship 〈◊〉, difficult and dangerous 〈◊〉, the Sea keeps not his 〈◊〉 banks, and great 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Rivers 〈◊〉 be expected; he 〈◊〉 eatens destruction 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 by 〈◊〉. or other such like 〈◊〉; he 〈◊〉 destruction to grass and 〈◊〉 by 〈◊〉 sloods; he threatens destruction to Corn by blasting, violent 〈◊〉 of hail, and furious 〈◊〉: Let such as inhabit those places which 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Leo, I told you what they were in the ☍ 〈◊〉 Saturn and Jupiter, Italy, Rome and Bohemia are some of them; let them, I say, take heed lest God visit them with the Sword, Famine and Pestilence all at one time: And let Holland also take heed, for God is making inquisition for the innocent blood they have shed, by beginning a causeless War, not only refusing to strike sail upon our Seas, but falling upon us in our own harbours. But of this more by and by.  
It is time now we leave Saturn, and speak a word or two of Mars: I must speak something of him, though it be very 〈◊〉 I shall speak but little good; generally he causeth corruption by his excess in dryness, and especially when he is in a 〈◊〉 sign, as now he is, being in a 〈◊〉 teering sign like himself, he 〈◊〉 up war and 〈◊〉, 〈◊〉, 〈◊〉 risings in Nations, and that which is the effects of them, imprisonment, banishment, hanging and heading; Kings and Magistrates will be mad, and their Subjects stubborn; Towns and Cities will be besieged, taken, and fired; Great men will be suddenly arraigned, condemned, and beheaded; men will be 〈◊〉 to acute 〈◊〉, corruption and eruption of blood; violent deaths 〈◊〉 threatened, 〈◊〉 to young men, both untimely and suddenly; Kings and Magistrates will be much given to 〈◊〉, violence, injustice and injury; and if any ask when they were ever any otherwise, let them take notice that 〈◊〉, so posited as here, shows a great aggravation and 〈◊〉 of their 〈◊〉: Men will be exceedingly 〈◊〉 to violence, injury, robbing and killing of men, plundering and firing of Towns and houses, lawsuits and Duels: In the air he stirs up extraordinary heat, sultery hot weather, 〈◊〉 and infections winds, much thunder and 〈◊〉, whirl winds, and 〈◊〉 dry 〈◊〉. 〈◊〉 cannot be yet out of your minds I am 〈◊〉 what an 〈◊〉 succeeded his 〈◊〉 Lord of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1652. and then he was in Taurus, an 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 sign, and therefore you may 〈◊〉 by that what you may expect 〈◊〉 he is in Leo, which is a sign both fiery and violent.  
In the Sea he 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 occasioned sudden and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, by reason of inordinary gusts of 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉: In Rivers he dries up 〈◊〉 fountains, corrupts and 〈◊〉 the water, he signifies a 〈◊〉 of corn, and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of grain, wasting them by his pernicious 〈◊〉.  
The truth is, this Eclipse will 〈◊〉 as close to the skirts of Italy and Rome herself, as ever a man's skin did to his back, and go near to be the bane of both, as I have often told you before in divers writings of mine: Only one memorable thing I shall here quote; it is the opinion of the 〈◊〉, that the Turk is the Antichrist, not the Pope; and therefore James Gaffarel in his Unheard-of Curiosities, treating of the 〈◊〉 of the 〈◊〉, showing when the Turkish Empire should fall, he gives his judgement, that it should fall in the year 1655. the very same year in which in my opinion Rome it 〈◊〉 shall fall.  
But before I give my own 〈◊〉, I must premise 〈◊〉 line or two. As there is a Trinity in 〈◊〉 in the 〈◊〉, so hath there been a threefold Administration of this Trinity to 〈◊〉 sons of men since the 〈◊〉; one before the Flood, one after the Flood before Christ, and another since the days of the 〈◊〉 of Christ; each of these 〈◊〉 Administrations had its several time of 〈◊〉 or darkness. First, Before the 〈◊〉 you may find how 〈◊〉 came 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 it, Gen. 6. 2. The sons of God 〈◊〉 the daughters of men that 〈◊〉 were fair they took them wives of all which they chose: then said God 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 shall not always strive with man, &c. Secondly, 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Flood, the confusion came in at the 〈◊〉 of the Tower of Babel, which indeed 〈◊〉 confusion; the History is well known to all, though 〈◊〉 Mystery understood by few. Thirdly, That we are in confusion now since the Incarnation of the Lord, is 〈◊〉 to all that have but the least knowledge of themselves; but how this confusion began, or how far it extends, 〈◊〉 not so readily answered; it is probable it might come in under the first Pope, whose name (I take it) was Gregory; but when we shall get out of it, is the next disquisition.  
It is not altogether unknown to me by divers 〈◊〉 grounds both from the first building of Rome and from the several Chrisis that have since, according to that time of building or making it a City, happened to it, that 1655. will be a fatal, if not a final year to it; and if our spiritual confusion had its rise thence, 〈◊〉 is more than probable to me, I have great hopes of liberty, and clear light to walk in it also, so soon as that is destroyed.  
I 〈◊〉 I conceive there are some things yet to be fulfilled before its fall, for the Lord Christ shall destroy the man of sin by the brightness of his 〈◊〉, and the Jews whom the Lord hath 〈◊〉 for their iniquity must first be gathered together. (Be 〈◊〉 and patient, Beloved Jews, the time is not 〈◊〉 off; when ye see the Star of Jacob appear in the East, lift up your heads; it is in vain for us Christians to look for happiness without you.) And you fellow Christians and Brethren, let me 〈◊〉 you often seriously to read Matth. 24. and see what comfort you can pick out of it.  
This is most certain, that both the last ☌ of ♄ and ♃, these three Oppositions of Saturn and Jupiter, and the last Eclipse of the Sun, and the Eclipse we now treat of, are not to be paralleled since the days of Christ, nor perhaps since the world stood: they all manifestly show a change of Government throughout the whole world: and if there be another Government yet to come 〈◊〉 the ANCIINT of DAYS, spoken of by Daniel, uppear, I may be mistaken; but if otherwise, as is apparent to me both from the Book of the Scriptures, and from the Book of the Creatures, his coming may be during the effects of this Eclipse; if you read but heedfully the second Psalm, you see there some reasons for it: Only let me request two things of you:  

1. Do not imagine a hideous coming of Christ in your minds; make not riddles of God and Christ, and every thing else in Religion: indeed it is that which most of your priest's train you up in; he will come in such a way as you little expect him to come in: never spend the time whether he shall come in Person or in Spirit, these are 〈◊〉 for children to talk of: I dare not write all is revealed to me in the point, for I am forbidden; yet this I say, he shall come as 〈◊〉, a Saviour; as CHRIST, 〈◊〉; 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, God with us.  
2. Tie not up yourselves to a strict expectation in respect of time; the effects of the Eclipse continues two years and a half, with some advantage; neither doth it begin forcibly to operate till August 1655, for the last Eclipse 1652. will first make an end of working: The best advice I can give you in this case, is this, Look diligently into your own selves, and libor to know yourselves very well, there may you find the unity between you and the Godhead, and having found that, you may know what you shall 〈◊〉 both in this world, and in that to come. But I must 〈◊〉.    

A general judgement of the Year 1654.  
'TIs confessed, the figure of this Revolution is generally ill, yet worse by far it would be, were not Jupiter & Venus better dignified than the rest of the Planets, and therefore are doservedly to be accounted the Lords of the year. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a temperate air, and North winds, yet sud 〈◊〉 are very temperate, by which both living 〈◊〉 and seeds are strengthened and preserved. 〈◊〉, although she be much impedited by her nearness to Mars, yet we may conceive some hopes that she will something moisten his heat and dryness, that the 〈◊〉 may not want water in that 〈◊〉 which it hath done the two former years: this hope may have a further ground, from Jupiter, being in a watery sign; and from the Pleiades, being stars of a tempestuous watering quality, so 〈◊〉 the cusp of the Ascendant; and 〈◊〉 from Venus her 〈◊〉, being a moist and Sea Star, placed upon the very cusp of the Ascendant.  
But let us see a little particularly what the significations of the Planets are, as they are constituted in this scheme; and let none be angry if I begin with the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, I myself being a Commoner.  
The Significators of the Commonalty are twofold, general and particular; generally the Moon signifies the Commonalty, particularly the Ascendant and its Lord: If you look to their particular Significatrix, which is Venus, you shall find her very strong angular, and in her own house occidental, but slow in motion, near Retrogradation, very near the body of Mars; and the Ascendant itself is something 〈◊〉ted by the Pleiades in it: Truly if I would write what I think to be truth, I cannot but guess a safe, though troublesome condition to the Commonalty; it is a year wherein they will much stand upon their privileges, by doing which they will incur much displeasure, many troubles and many adversaries: I desire my Brethren of the Commonalty that they would make no 〈◊〉 this year, they will exceedingly be subject so to do, 〈◊〉 yet experience tells them, that tumults are usually bitterness at the latter end to them that make 〈◊〉.  
I am straitened for want of paper exceedingly; I must speak a word or two of the Moon, who is the general Significatrix of the people, and therefore the more to be heeded.  
If the Moon be weak and 〈◊〉, as she is here, and apply to an infortune, and that infortune be fixed, as here she doth, she signifies an evil state to the people, and detriment in their businesses, want 〈◊〉 food, but little gain, many infirmities in their bodies, and no fewer hindrances in their occasions: indeed I am afraid their rash attempts will go near to 〈◊〉 many of them in prison this year, and then they 〈◊〉 be very stayed men; if they suffer for well doing they will have the more comfort. If that 〈◊〉 to which the ☽ applies be Lord of the eighth 〈◊〉 from the 〈◊〉 of the ☽, as here he is, it signifies 〈◊〉 mortality amongst the people; and if it be Mars, 〈◊〉 it is now, the 〈◊〉 shall come of heat, and 〈◊〉 of blood, although ♀, who properly 〈◊〉 diseases incident to the year, seem to speak otherwise.  
As for Kings and Magistrates, Sol their 〈◊〉 is in the twelfth house, which is the house of 〈◊〉 enemies, calamity and imprisonment; let them 〈◊〉 to themselves in time, und tell them I gave 〈◊〉 warning of it. If the Sun be weak, and in an evil 〈◊〉 at his entrance into ♈, the power and state of 〈◊〉 and Magistrates will decrease, and they will do many and evil mischiefs to the people under them; 〈◊〉 men will be regarded never the more for their 〈◊〉 nor noble men for their Nobility, but 〈◊〉 common people will rise up against their Lords and 〈◊〉, thus saith Haly, let them verify the truth of 〈◊〉. I confess here are few receptions to mitigate these evils, here is none at all to help Kings and Magistrates, there is one which may give some succour to 〈◊〉 Commonalty, which is between the ☽ and ♂; happily the soldier may take part with the 〈◊〉, if they do, I cannot help 〈◊〉.  
Let us now come to a particular scanning of the rest of the Planets, and so conclude. Saturn in the 〈◊〉 house infortunate, as here he is, tumbles down Kings and Magistrates from the top of hope to the bottom of 〈◊〉; he consumes the fruits of the Earth by blasting and mildew; he sows Darnel amongst the Corn, and makes the 〈◊〉 coally; he 〈◊〉 away the lives of many children, and makes such as do live stubborn.  
If ♃ be in the 〈◊〉 house fortunate, is 〈◊〉 he is, the Nations of that climate shall get profit by their enemies, and much gain, freedom and propriety, by 〈◊〉 of 〈◊〉 and imprisonment; Kings and Magistrates 〈◊〉 have time enough to think on what is past, and occasion enough to repent of their oppressions at leisure.  
Before I proceed any further, take notice of 〈◊〉 general rule which is to be observed in all annual judgements, none excepted.  

1. The estate of the common people is always to be inquired after from the Moon.  
2. The estate of Kings, Princes, 〈◊〉, and Noble men, from the 〈◊〉.  
3. The estate of Scribes, Merchants, education of children, and such as study Arts and Sciences, from ☿.  
4. The estate of judges, Priests and Lawyers, from ♃  
5. The estate of all soldiers, and such as 〈◊〉 Kings and Kingdoms, Magistrates and Nations 〈◊〉 danger, is to be inquired after from Mars.  
6. The estate of old men, Husbandmen, and such 〈◊〉 till the Earth, is to be inquired after from Saturn.  
7. As for all womens' matters, and such as belong to delights, joy and feasting, we must have an eye to ♀.   
If then Priests and Lawyers be signified by Jupiter, you shall find Jupiter just reformed, and coming out of prison; mock not, you may happen to find the judgement true enough.  
Mars in the 〈◊〉 signifies much fear and damage to the Nation by 〈◊〉 of their Enemies; but truly my own opinion is, the fear will be more than the harm, Mars is so near Venus: 〈◊〉, much contention and quarrelling will be amongst men, but the best is, as good words will butter no parsnips, so 〈◊〉 words will not break a 〈◊〉 head.  
Venus in the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 health to men's bodies, and joy to their minds: but seeing Venus is so new Retrogradation, falling retrograte before she touches the degree ascending, I suppose she may well be taken to be in the twelfth House, which if so, she signifies almost all the evil to women that can be imagined; many whoredoms, contentions and quarrellings, 〈◊〉 of liberty and good name, besides other 〈◊〉 for loving the under-sheet better than the distaff.  
Mercury in the Twelfth signifies much quarrelling between men and their children, and their servants.  
〈◊〉 Moon in the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, the Nations 〈◊〉 that sign in which she is (of which England is one) shall be continually brawling and quarrelling, nothing 〈◊〉 falling out one with another, as though that were the only way left to thrive.  
Sol in the Twelfth 〈◊〉, that the Kings and Magistrates of that Climate, of which England is one, shall be exceedingly hated by the people, because they do them much evil, and lay such grievous Taxes upon them.  
Lastly, Consider, that so many Planets being in the 〈◊〉, and the Lords both of the Sixth and Eighth there, as also the Lady of the Fourth, many 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 like to be committed this year: It will be very difficult to 〈◊〉 out the causes of diseases which happen in this Revolution; only my hope is, 〈◊〉 Sun in the Twelfth will bring to light such as deal either in 〈◊〉, or invocation of evil Spirits.

An Explanation of the three 〈◊〉 Tables.  
The use of the Tables is very easy; For when you know the day of the Month under the Month, over against the day you find the age of the Moon, which being sound, look it in the Residue of the tide Table on the top, and underneath it over against the place you have the hour and minute when 〈◊〉 is full Sea. For example: The 〈◊〉 day of January the Moon 〈◊〉 23 days old, which if you search in the Residue of the tide Table, you shall find that the Moon when she is 8 days old, and when she is 23, maketh 〈◊〉 sea at London, 24 min. past 〈◊〉 of the clock; and this she doth always, if neither Winds nor Land Floods, &c. 〈◊〉 for take notice, that it is 〈◊〉 so exactly to show the time 〈◊〉 high water in Rivers of 〈◊〉 indrouth, as one may in Sea 〈◊〉.

1654. January hath XXXI Days.  
I no assistance from the sacred Hill  
Can crave, not can I dip my feathered quill  
In Helicon; the water's muddy grown,  
And I must mourn 'cause Jove and Saturn frown:

Observations on JANUARY.  
DEep will the Consultations be this month throughout Europe, and that about such matters 〈◊〉 belong not to the vulgar to know; for he that lives to the middle of the month shall see all the Princes of Europe in a maze, and the Commonalty sit by the fire and complain to one another of their oppression: the alchemist mean season is busy at his furnaces; for saith Haly, the ⚹ of ♂ and ☿ promiseth men shall inquire much after alchemy, and such other operations as are performed by fire; I wish them all the desire of their hearts. Certainly this Month will occasion much sadness to many great men, I do not say it will be acted this Month, but occasioned, or consulted about; Consultations are the forerunners of Resolutions, and Resolutions of Actions: Mean season the Jesuits beyond Sea, and some of our Priests here, labour so to uphold their Calling or Trade, and hew logic so to prop it up, that the world will have cause to curse some of them first, and they to bemoan themselves afterwards. The Kings of the Earth labour to uphold themselves more than they do the Truth, and the lives and liberties of their poor Subjects; for, for an idle piece of a thing called honour, as striking sail, or the like, what care Princes how many thousands of Christians lives they throw away? But God will come and make inquisition for blood, and then— Blessed are the peacemakers, so saith the Scripture, and so say I. The ☌ of ♂ and ♀ gives notice of many fornications, and such like evils; it happens in Aries, the Ascendent for England: The truth is, the nearness of ♂ and ♀ most part of this year gives cause enough to tear many outrages and duels concerning love matters, and that the French disease will be rife enough throughout the Nation.

Observations on FEBRUARY.  O curas hominum! O quantum in rebus inane est! 
THis Month begins pitifully with misty, foggy, stinking, noisome, cloudy, frosty weather, and turbulent actions are probably like to ensue such troublesome weather: Fiat justicia, say I, and all honest men harp upon the same string, though this may happily make but bad music in the ears of some great ones, who about this time may probably be either calling to an account, or else such a thing determined. ☍ ☉ ♄ saith Haly, significat quod Reges adversarios habebunt homines de populo, Religiosos & fratres & eos qui legem predicant & his similes; Kings and Magistrates shall find enemies both amongst the common people, amongst such as profess Religion, as friars, &c. and amongst such as teach the Law: yet shall not all run the wrong way this Month, as indeed it hath done long enough; but here is some good to be hoped, that some may be called to an account of their stewardship, for they must be no longer Stewards. I hope the Nation shall have an account given them of their moneys, some such thing or things to this purpose seems now to be in agitation; men pay their money still, and yet the State wants money still, 'tis but fitting the reason were known; men when they know least, suspect the worst. The Law is once more called in question, and there be some that say, They know no reason why they should be governed by the Norman Laws, now the Norman Race is taken away by the same Instrument that brought it in, viz. the Sword. Certainly many overtures will be made about rectifying the Law this Month, 'tis but need, the Lord direct them for the best.

Observations on MARCH.  
THe Month begins with a flattering countenance, and that is no wonder, 〈◊〉 of late found to be the best 〈◊〉 in this Nation; but though the Heavens seem to smile, men will have but little cause so to do; 〈◊〉 hoc sub 〈◊〉 〈◊〉. In the sun's ingress into Aries 〈◊〉 sinned Mars in the very same degree he was in at the Eclipse of the Sun 1652. by which it appears very probable he will this 〈◊〉 bring to pass what there he threatened, which what it was see my 〈◊〉 Magnatum. The truth is, I doubt the Hollander is undone, and hath lost all that he hath both in the 〈◊〉 and West 〈◊〉; as he hath served others there, so is himself served, and that's bad enough; his Fleet comes not home at all, or else it comes home by weeping cross. Perhaps it may thunder about the 15 day. I am sorry for the poor Hollander, if it be but because he hath 〈◊〉 one virtue we want, he provides for his Poor; yet God is just, and Cruelty will be showed to his in that very place which he showed it to others. Those in this Nation are like this Month to be called to an account, which had thought the world would have 〈◊〉 always in statu quo. If the soldier be impetuous, I cannot help it. Ill times are coming and those to no small sools. Our 〈◊〉 in this world is but a journey, and they that 〈◊〉 their horses in this journey, must be glad to walk 〈◊〉. There happens two Aspects towards the latter end of this Month, the effects of which may do wonders: Out of 〈◊〉 many great ones will be questioned, and that upon crimes no less than 〈◊〉; They which formerly used to command the People, would now be willing to entreat them, and glad if they would do them any good; but former injuries and oppressions are not 〈◊〉 forgotten.

Observations on APRIL.  
IT is a remarkable thing, that Saturn falls direct just upon that very degree, and almost the very minute where the ensuing Eclipse of the Sun is to be celebrated, as who should say he would exasperate the minds of men, and poison their understanding, that so they may be made sit for the consuming and destroying influences of the Eclipse, as the ●vi● spirit became a lying spirit in the mouths of Ahab's Prophets. We do confess the Month begins very serenely with the common people, but it will scarce 〈◊〉 so with the great ones. The Law is again 〈◊〉 about the beginning of this Month, but to little purpose. If you would hinder the growing of 〈◊〉, the best way is to pluck up the Tree by the 〈◊〉. Many 〈◊〉 Pamphlets are like to be printed this Month, as full of lies as lines; and many questioned for Necromancy, and dealing with other the like abominable Arts: Women with child must look for hard labours; and people will begin to know toward the latter end of this Month what the difference is between a right Law and a Cheat. Such as have stood stoutly for the Liberty of this Nation in 〈◊〉 times, when Will was a Law, may happily be a little esteemed; better late then never: Nunquam sera est ad bonos mores, via.  
Thunder and lightning, Rain and 〈◊〉 ends the Month; and great men begin to see themselves to be but men; it were a happiness all men in 〈◊〉 could but do so 〈◊〉.

I Can tell you this will be a sad, not a merry Month 〈◊〉 May to many; 〈◊〉 the Month begins, if not with thundering weather, yet with thundering actions, such as I am afraid will go near to cost some body their heads, I cannot help it, they might have looked better to it in time. I am afraid many alchemists will come off losers this Month in their search 〈◊〉 Hermes his Elixic, it is a jewel given but to few; 〈◊〉 quot aequus amavit Jupiter, aut ardens 〈◊〉 ad Aethera virtus, 〈◊〉 geniti potuere. The Month begins with lying, scribbling and deceiving; Cheating and cozening are turned two main pillars of the Nation. About the middle of the Month the Law is brought into question once more, and much debating about it, pro and con, but very little concluded I am afraid: I could wish men could live honestly and lovingly, and then the Lawyers might leap for a crust, and glad if they could catch it; for 'tis well known that Lawyers get their 〈◊〉 by none but mad men and fools. In truth I am afraid of some tumults, or risings, or something to this effect, in this Nation, nay it 〈◊〉 be in London: when men have so carried themselves, that they fear 〈◊〉 touchstone, because their actions will not hold water, than 〈◊〉 next way is to 〈◊〉: but I hope the wisdom of our State will look after such things, and prevent them. But toward the latter end of the Month 〈◊〉 must be the other 〈◊〉 about ordering the Law, and I hope it will be to some purpose: Great men are called in question; Lawyers mourn; Heirs weep for their lost inheritance; Priests mutter and whine; the wind blows, and so the Month ends.

Sol smiles on Saturn, but on Jove doth frown;  
virtue's a Beggar, Vice hath got the Crown;  
And how d'ye think she got it? 'Tis no matter

Observations on JUNE.  
WHen men's actions are not justificable by the Rule of Truth, and Law of Reason, the last shift is to flatter with the people; and when the lion's skin will not serve the turn, to take the Foxes: But when God hath 〈◊〉 justice shall be done, all the shifts of man will not avail. About the middle of the Month the lawyers must have another wrangling fit, and so must the Clergy; 'tis a hundred to one if about that time they do not fall out amongst themselves, which has been the cause of their own ruins; They say, When thieves fall out, true men come by their goods again. ' 〈◊〉 a sad case my masters, if 〈◊〉 considered, that after a man hath spent so many thousand pounds in Learning, as the person on F●shstreet-hill said he had spent more in Learning then half his Parish was worth, and burned out so many 〈◊〉 candles in reading old 〈◊〉 and his dull-headed Disciples, tired out their poor weak feeble brains in reading old Books, which they call Fathers, spent so much Ink and Paper in writing out their witty sayings, that so they sell them in the Pulpit to get a good handsome honest living, that now all should come to nothing; when a man shall spend whole days and nights in studying the tricks and quillets of Law, that so they may undo the poor, and cheat the rich, and when occasion is say the Crow is white, and the Swan black, and now all is come to nothing, would not this make a stone weep, and fetch tears even from a flint? If you hear the wind blow about the middle of the month, take notice such a thing may come to pass; Qui non 〈◊〉 cavet post dolebit. Toward the latter end of the month Mars Joins with Mercury, and in the very degree where Saturn was at the Eclipse of the Sun 1652. threatening evil to the common people, perhaps it may 〈◊〉 them to be mutinous; if not, they will be full enough of fears and troubles, mind nothing but deceit and cozenage, and falsifying of money: Wise men and wisdom itself will be despised and accounted little worth, and so indeed 〈◊〉 always. Perhaps some honest Philosophers may be questioned about this time for doing good; if they be, 〈◊〉 a hundred to one if they may not thank their own prattling tongues, for that's the usual cause of all their evils.

Observations on July.  
MEn give gallant words at the beginning of this Month, and promise the Commonalty much good, and indeed well they may, for good are cheap, and cost nothing; a good word is as soon given as a bad: but the truth is, nobody will believe a liar when he speaks truth. Men yet wrangle and repine at the Law, and will not be pacified, no not by peacemaking ♃ himself. 'tis a sad thing I confess, when Truth and Equity will not please men's fancies, no not an Angel himself, if he should come down and speak English. The △ of ☉ and ♃ showeth, that wisdom and Philosophy will be apparent and manifest, and the Law common for every one to read; but the ☌ of ☉ and ♂ threatens those places under ♋ with no small and mean evils, such be Scotland, Holland, Zealand, Burgundia, Granado, Charthage, &c. Of Cities and Towns that are like to suffer, are Constantinople, Tunis, Venice, Genoa, York, S. Andrews in Scotland, Magdenberg, Wittenberg, &c. Let these places take heed of Mutinies and Seditions; let them take heed of Enemies, and also of their own selves. The Synod of the Sun & Mars is near the little dog star, I am afraid he will bite, and that Holland will know to their sorrow, which will by this time be looked upon as an undone Nation; neither will the Scots leave their treachery, so long as there is one of them left. Diseases will be stirred up, which will afflict the breast with heat, and perhaps occasion Pestilence, or sudden death: The ☌ happens in the fourth house of the Revolution of the year, whence it is to be feared that it may cause much damage to the fruits of the Earth; it happens in the eight house of the Heavens, and therefore may prove dangerous and mortal to those places subject to its influence.

Observations on AUGUST.  
Homo Homini Daemon.  
IT was the speech of one of the Jewish rabbis, whose name I do not remember, but the words he 〈◊〉 when he lay on his death bed, and the last words of dying men are usually longest remembered; If our 〈◊〉, said he, come not in the year 1654. that was the man we put to death 〈◊〉 Jerusalem. Besides, it was the opinion of an ginger of our own, who 〈◊〉 long since left England, that the coming of Christ to reign should be at the instant of the Eclipse this Month; he brought this 〈◊〉 to make his judgement seem like truth, Zech. 14. The Lord my God shall come, and all his 〈◊〉 with him; and it shall come to 〈◊〉 in that day, When the light shall not to clear nor dark, but it shall be one day known to the Lord, not day nor night. For 〈◊〉 own particular part I understand not the mystery of that Scripture 〈◊〉 yet, neither dare I be so critical as to appoint a particular 〈◊〉 for 〈◊〉 coming; it is sufficient to me that he shall come, and that I have enough to nourish my hopes that it shall be within the effects of this Eclipse. The ☌ of ☉ and ♄ 〈◊〉 tempestuous weather, and as tempestuous actions, which may be read in the 〈◊〉 about the midst of this Month by 〈◊〉 men, if they heed but those supernatural sights which will be seen there when ♄ leaves the dominion of the Sun, and 〈◊〉 himself to the Virgin, being just then at the Aphelion of ♂, and not far off from his body. The Princes of Europe are all in a maze, and all the world in a wonder what God determines to do. It is the property of a wise man to weigh 〈◊〉 the beginning of things, and suspend his judgement till he sees the end.

Observations on SEPTEMBER.  

Libertas, que sera tamon, respexit 〈◊〉,

THat the Normand Race came into this Nation under the Celestial Sign 〈◊〉, is a point no way disputable to any ginger; neither is it disputable to any wise man in 〈◊〉 Art, but that Mars changing his 〈◊〉 from Leo to Virgo, would bring an 〈◊〉 to that Monarchy. This was the reason Mr Lilly in his 〈◊〉 Merline, page 116. against 1654. writes thus, A Virgin Monarchy hath been, but is no more. Mars enters Virgo, and leaves Leo his 〈◊〉 〈◊〉. At the very beginning of this month happens a Conjunction of 〈◊〉 and Mars in two degr. 44 min. of Virgo: But before I proceed to tell you what I think the effects may be, give me leave to 〈◊〉 you a little difference between the Danick Tables of Longomontanus, and 〈◊〉 Wing his 〈◊〉 Caeleste; By 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, Mars changed his 〈◊〉 in 1650. which what happened that year, is well known; but by the 〈◊〉 Tables not till the 〈◊〉 end of the year 1654. I hold our Countryman Wings Tables to be truest in the 〈◊〉 of all the Planets, the Luminaries excepted. But to come to the business in hand; that the 〈◊〉 of Saturn and Mars doth always mischief, and never good, unless it be doing good to one by 〈◊〉 another, is well known to all those that study Astrology to be an 〈◊〉 truth; yet let it not be accounted a Paradox, if I 〈◊〉 that the influence of this Conjunction may in all probability do England the greatest good that ever was done to it since William the Bastard conquered it, I mean restore it to its desired Liberty; the Heavens promise such a thing, and I can partly believe: that our Slavery came in under the Norman Race, all know that know any thing; and that it may be extinguished by the effects of this 〈◊〉, I partly believe: If possibly I can procure time I shall write a Treatise of this Conjunction in a Treatise be itself, the effect, of it 〈◊〉 two year.

Observations on OCTOBER.  
THe Princes of Europe can agree but in one thing, and that is in oppressing the people: A dismal time is a coming both to Priests and Lawyers; many of them are clapped up this Month, and some of them may be made shorter by the head the next: Both these sorts of cattle were established in their Authority by Will: the Conqueror; and the first game they played after they were established, was acted more wisely then honestly by half, which was to abscond from us the Laws we were governed by before the Conquest; ever since which time we have been bred up like birds in a cage, and know not what liberty we were in before that time: These things are like to called in question about this time. I pray God Paris in France be not fired down to the ground during the effects of this ☌ of ♄ and ♂: It promises Jerusalem to the Jews, I would to God once they had it, for then my joys would be full: The truth is, it happening in a human sign, it will set all the world together by the ears; and I hope to see the Eastern Empire once in the hands of Christians. The old Laws and Customs of this Nation will go near to appear in print this Month, and then we shall know better what Liberty is. Philosophers say it is an easier matter to get their Mercury, then to know it, for it is a volatile spirit everywhere, and in all things. This I know to be a truth, and I do as really believe it, it is an easier matter to get our Liberty, then to know what it is. You shall find about the latter end of this Month how Kings and Magistrates will scuffle to maintain their Prerogatives; but the Commonalty will not be content with bread and water, so long as they know where to get roast-meat at a cheap rate.

Fiat justicia.  
THe Magistrates of Europe look with rusul 〈◊〉.

It would melt a heart of stone to see how pitifully they look through a prison grate, who have formerly had the world at will, and were such 〈◊〉 to think that this life would last always, when day and night teacheth them all things are subject to change. Some new Laws may probably be established this Month, and those a little more wholesome than the former, which may perhaps please the people better for a little time, till Liberty break out and appear in its colours. A great many Malignants are now found out, which were never 〈◊〉 of before, and justice speedily executed upon them, and that is a thing pleases God very well. The world in my judgement stands this Month in this 〈◊〉, those Kings of Europe which are left are at Wars one with another, mean season their own Subjects 〈◊〉 them work enough at home, whilst we in England are pretty secure, having found out a pack of great thieves, and are busy in executing 〈◊〉 upon them.

Observations on DECEMBER.  
ABout the beginning of this Month Magna Charta itself seems to me to be called in question; and that great Liberty which so many has sought after in their stout contending for the privileges of Magna Charta, is found out to be nothing else than what this poor pitisul Nation, 〈◊〉 it was unluckily vanquished by a Bastard, by fair terms 〈◊〉 from the hands of the Conqueror: 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 suit with English men's 〈◊〉 at this time; it is a real truth indeed, we have not so much liberty, or to speak more properly, we are not in greater bondage than Magna Charta tied us too. The cause of this I conceive to be in our former 〈◊〉, who when they should have been 〈◊〉 the liberty of their Subject, spent their time in consultation how far the bounds of a forest must go, who must keep 〈◊〉 Park, and who must not; who must keep Hounds, Greyhounds, 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Dogs, and who must not; what price must be paid for shouting of Pigeons, Partridges, and pheasants: and thus they sweeped the Liberty of the Nation up and down, as the maid swept the surreverence about the house, till at last she lost it: But the year seems to me to end in a better posture, pretty pleasing to 〈◊〉 Commonalty, and not without great hopes of our desired Liberty.
