The Great and Wonderful PROPHECIES, OF Mr. Partridge, Mr. colly, Mr. Tanner, etc.  
'tIs no wonder, if so many strange Events and Accidents are hidden from the foresight of Mankind, since so few addict themselves to the understanding the Celestial Intelligences, in their sundry Aspects, Motions, Conjunctions and Configurations, seeing by them as by the Monitors of Heaven, are pointed out the Rise and Decay of Empires, Kingdoms, and States, Wars, Plague, Famine, Fire, Losses, and the like, which the more judicious frequently foresee; and which, by a true and timely Repentance may be averted, and the Almighty Hand stayed, ever then when it is lifted up to give the Fatal Stroke, as appears by the Ninevites Humiliation, David's opposing himself to the destroying Angel, Hezekia's Prayer, that delivered him from appointed Death, and many other Examples found in Holy Writ, and other Warrantable Records, etc. But not to be tedious in the Beginning, I now Proceed to give the Reader the Sum of the Predictions, Prophecies, or Prognostications, for the Year, 1689 As I find them set down by these Four most Learned and Judicious Astrologers; whose heitherto approved Truths foretell, have struck the World with no small Wonder and Amazement.  

This Year, says Mr. Partridge,  
Gins with no Extraordinary Action, but Great Councils and Consultations, which may be hoped to very ●ood Purpose for at the Post-ventional New Moon; Two days after its Ingress the Moon applies to the Sextile of Saturn, to which may be adde● the Conjunction of the Fortunes & the Sextile of the Sun & Saturn which in the St●rry, Di●●ects, are Arguments of a Quiet and Peace able Time; and much better (perhaps) than expected, for there are very Emergencies, Good or Bad, that happen in the World, but have some Manifestation from the Configuration of the Heavens; and they from the Beginning of the Year, till towards the Spring, seem to Denote nothing less than a Stability of Worldly Affairs, were not the two Infortanes Stars, so called, possited in a Headstrong, Malicious, and Treacherous Sign; however the Benevolent Positions of the Favourable, Planets, Mitigate the Evil pretended, from whence we may clouclude, and hope for better Things than many ill Spirited Persons desire; Though to other Countries, under their Influence to Mars and Saturn in Scorpio, threatened Rebellious Mutinies, War, Falsehood, Perjury, Violation, or Breach of Leagues, between Neighbouring Princes, Dissensions, Controversies, Murders, with Backbitings amongst Relations; some siding with one Party or Country, and some with another; having thus discoursed of the first part of the Year; he proceeds to the second.   

Saturn, says Mr. colly.  
BEing in Scorpio, and Jupiter in Aquarius; it is an ill Wind that blows no body profit: Things seem to be in a moderate good Posture; many cry out for Justice and plead much Loyalty, some sticking of an Old Nature, falls in the Quadrate of Saturn, & Mars threatens a Foot of subtle aged persons, and usually produces many strange Effects; and this following the Sun's Ingress, some Melevolent Malady is to be feared, and the Aspects being for the most part Partamicable, seem thereby to promise Unity, Concord, Good Agreement, etc. And the Position of Jove in Aquarius, Denotes Advancement of Worthy Men of the Long Robe, so that we have cause to hope well, notwithstanding the Endeavours of some Wicked Persons to hinder our Tranquillity; and towards the Close of the Spring, hope to hear Good News, even such as will prove grateful to all honest Minds. From the Spring, proceeding to Summer, he says various Actions and Effects will be produced throughout Europe, and we may wait to see the Operation of Great Things, which are promised in Foreign Parts, and such, perhaps, that many years before have not produced; for Jove falling Retrogade into Pisces, in Trine, and great Reception with Venus; with many other favourable or friendly Configurations, from whence we may Naturally expect as propitious Influences; for in any ingress of the Sun, if the Fortunes are found in their own Dignities or Reception, then do they influence Virtue and such Actions as they Naturally signify, shall be exceedingly Augmented: And altho' Eminent Changes happen yet to the Benefit of Mankind, etc. and Justice Impartially Executed upon the Great and Powerful, as well as upon the Meaner sort, all Things inclining to peace and Tranquillity; and so going on to Antum●, or the last Division of the Year,  
This Month says he, meaning September, we have a most hateful Opposition of Saturn & Mars; attended also with the Opposition of the Fortunes, Jupiter & Venus the Square of Saturn and Venus, the Square of Mars and Venus from fired signs, which are notable Configurations, & usually produce wonderful Effects; for Mankind is threatened with strange Distempers. of Body, as Fevours, occasioning Megrim, Madness, Phranzies, Appoplexies, Lethargies; with many other Anonimous Diseases and Unnatural, hard to be cured, and often terminate in sudden Death, and now expect to hear of many Roberies, and inhuman Actions amongst Mankind; as also Treacherous Enterprises, & very sudden and amazing Accidents in many parts of Europe, for 
Nature still Acts to bring her Works about:  
Marss gives the Pox, but Saturn gives the Gout;  
Seas plagued with Pirates, Thieves infest the Land,  
Ease proves diseases to each unruly Hand.  And thus much for the predictions of this learned Man, from whence we proceed to give you an account of the Predictions and Astrological Judgements of others in General, for the year 1689. as taken from their own hands, etc.   

In the Beginning of the Year, says Mr. Tanner,  
SAturn being in the Ascending part of Heaven, and Jupiter in the Angle of the Earth, signify Insurrections, opposing Princes, undermining Government, as also Mutations and Changes in the Affairs of Princes and States Alterations in Laws, etc. Threatening especially the Ottoman Empire, and not looking very favourably upon Italy, and some of the Germane Princes, who will be detrimented in their Affairs, and others find some difficulty and heaviness in the management of their Estates and Government, and the quartile Aspect of Saturn and Mars, Denote many bold, daring and unusual Roberies; and if Saturn shall be in Scorpio, having North Latitude, it threatens abundance of Rain, overflowing of Rivers, and Sea-banks, corruption of Waters; and if Oriential, it Denotes Wars and Contentions, between Noble men and their Kings and Governors, etc. Especially those Countries under Aquarius, Scorpio and Leo: Yet as to us, we find that Saturn and Jupiter, are aptly towards their Trine Aspects, which carry a signification of Love and Friendship along with them, and in May they are partially so figurated, and so continue in the following July, intimating En●cassies, Treaties for peace, & hopeful proposals, which will be promoted by sundry well-designing people, if not hindered by some Malevolent Aspect, stirring up such as may give it a disturbance; however, in the following Quarter, the Aspects are more favourable, and give hopes of a great settlemen of Affairs, which God of his Mercy Giant, especially to these Kingdoms.   

To these we may add what He says in his prediction for the Year, 1689.  
THe Configuration of Heaven, (says he) attending the Solar Ingress, are of a pretty mild and calm Nature, and the heavenly Bodies are moderately disposed, as to their Mutual Aspects, yet to Foreign Countries they prove not so favourable, but threatens them with mortal Action, especially the Turks, Tartars, Polonians, etc. yet soon after, Calmness may probably ensue, and we may reasonably expect to hear of a greater Calm, tho' some other Aspect threaten to keep the World in Action; nor are the Eclipse of this to be held of little account in their Effects and Significations, according to the Rules of Astrology, and since we have spoke sufficiently of other prognostical Effects, produced by the Planets and Heavenly bodies; what is most Noted of them, is material to be laid down.   

Of the Eclipses, and what is observable from them this year, 1689. according to Mr. Andrews.  
THe Frst Eclipse will be upon the 25th. of March, being of the Moon, between the hours of 6 & 7 at Night, being a total & centerial Eclipse, and is to be seen in England, if the Clouds or Mists intercept it not. It's beginning will be at 39 Minutes past 4 a Clock, the beginning of total Darkness will be at 45 Minutes past Five, the the middle or greatest Observation about 44 Minutes past Six. The beginning of the Moons Recovering Light; about 43 Minutes past 7; & the end about 49 Minutes towards 8, and at the time of these E●lipses, Saturn is in the Fourth Degree of Scorpio, Retrogade in the ascendant: Jupiter and Mars are in the Fourth house, Jupiter being in the 23d Degree of Aquarius, and Mars in the 6th. Degree, thereof the Sun and Caput Draconis, are in the 7th. house in the 15th. Degree of Aries, and Mercury is in the 6th. house, and in the 10th. Degree of the same sign, Retrograde; but to come near in this matter, it is the Opinion of the Learned, that an Eclipse so posited, is of no Benevolent Nature, but Denotes, Sorrow, Labour; Imprisonment; secret Contrivences, clandestive Actions, and Negotiations, etc. Wherefore it may may be reasonably conjectured, that those Countries subject to its Effects, may happen to fall under some unexpected Disorder; however, we are of Opinion, that those being only secondary Causes, prompting and not compelling, may by the overruling power of God, be prevented, for in his hands are the Breath of Life and Actions of Mankind, on whom we ought to Rely for our safety & preservation.  
The second considerable Eclipse is of the Moon, on the 19th. day of September, about half an hour after 2 of the Clock in the Morning, which will be a total and centural Eclipse, visible with us, if the Air be serene and not overcast with Clouds: The beginning will be about 15 Minutes past Midnight; the beginning of total Darkness, about 56 Minutes past one of the Clock; the middle or greatest observation, about 48 Minutes past two of the Clock; the beginning, or recovering Light, about 44 Minutes past three of the Clock, and the end about 46 Minutes past four of the Clock, the total Duration about 3 hours and 54 Minutes, and the Digits Eclipsed, will be 20 & 39 Minutes, and the most material Configurations attending this Eclipse, are the opposition of Jupiter and Venus, and of Saturn and Mars, it happening in the Eighth House, called by Astrologers Domus, morts and ends in the seventh, which they call the Angles of War, Quarrels, Strife, and contentious Mars is Lord of Aries, where the Eclipse falls out, is Retrograde and in his Detriment, so that the Effects may seem to be of no pleasant Importance, as furthermore happening in the Fiery Triplicity, and first Decant of Aries. and in this Case, according to the Learned, it Denotes the motion of Arms, Death, and Destruction of small Cattle, Enmity between the Vulgar and Noble sort of people, Murders, Thefts, Discords, Wars, sharp Fevours, Apparitions in the Air, and Mutations in those parts subject to the sign, wherein it happens, which we earnestly wish may be Averted from us and that we may enjoy our Religion, Liberty and Property in ●●ac● and plenty. Amen, Amen.
