To the Reader.  
READER,  
I Have plainly delivered so much as my eyes observed, at what time those admired apparitions in the air amazed the beholders here in London, and when the quarters of Heaven seemed to affront each other with their darting fire-bals, the South against the West, the West against the North, each one against another; itis wrote as I observed it; others in some places might see more, I have conferred with some that in effect saw the same things I did. As they were no usual sights, so questionless no usual or ordinary actions will succeed. Their transcursions in the air from one quarter to another, shows the generality of what is signified thereby; My discourse of the Conjunction, is to supply what I promised in my annual Prediction, but did not then perform: I have omitted some judgements, because I would avoid all exceptions: should I writ the whole truth, I might be deemed partial; I seriously publish to the world, I am a friend to Monarchy; but I hold it my native duty to adhere in purse, pen, and person to the now honourable Parliament at Westminster, the worthy Members thereof having for our good these three yeares and more spent their private fortunes, and weakened their healths, purposely to reduce our Common-wealth to its right temper; and to free me, thee, and the whole kingdom from an approaching slavery: As the Lord liveth, should my judgement in point of Art be demanded: Whether it were best for his Majesty to come to his Westminster Parliament yea, or no: My answer should be, it were the only means to make himself and posterity happy: and this I do certainly know by the general fate of this kingdom, by the several Conjunctions and Eclipses past and to come, and by my five yeares hard study to discern the event of these times: The world will know hereafter, I speak not in vain, and blessed shall that man be that giveth his majesty this advice, and reduceth him to have a right apprehension of the actions and good intentions of this Parliament towards him and his. The Conjunction gives me some hopes, but my faith is weak. What is wanting in man, I hope God will supply, and miraculously confounded those lurking enemies of ours, that were preparing mischief against us. Reader, thou shalt suddenly hear of strange alterations, rejoice and be glad, and pray for his Majesties return, for so doth  
William lily.   

TO THE Nobles, Knights and Burgesses that have absented themselves from our Parliament at Westminster.  
GOd is only able to discern upon what pretences you separated from our Parliament at Westminster, and adhered to that meeting of Oxford to the perpetual infamy of yourselves and posterities; of whom I hearty wish you would be mindful, and that ye would return hither to London, while yet there is mercy and compassion remaining. believe me, I see an hideous storm ready to fall upon you; I see the tears of your wives, of your children, of your friends lamenting your lost and forlorn Conditions. Let the miserable example of the marquis of Newcastle deter you from further engagement against your dear country which bread you tenderly: and the many Nobles and Gentlemen slain and undone since this quarrel. I tell you, your several Counties do curse you, and swear you have forfeited your Honours in running from Westminster, to which place they sent you; unto Oxford, to which place they gave you no Commission: When in time to come your children shall see your goodly Mansi●n Houses a mere lump of rubbage, and ask whose that stately house had been, and have answer from the barbarous clown; it was my Lords, it was Sir Thomas: who drew his sword most unnaturally against the Parliament of England, and therefore his house is pulled down and his posterity hated? Will not these words and that sad object rent a strong heart in pieces? I pray God you be Wise in time; No flattery, no desire of gain, no private interest of my own, hath induced these lines, but my cordial respects to some of you, from whom I have received favours; If I do know any thing in Art, or if any verity be in Art; for Gods sake remember that you are invited to come and return to the Parliament at Westminster by  
Your Friend and faithful Servant, 
 and well-wisher, 
 William lily.

I Was called into Somerset-yard by some, where we had perfect view of what I deliver: That sight which first presented itself to mine eyes, was far below the Eccleptick according to the observation of mine eye, and seemed to appear over the southwest part of Kent, and the northeast of Surrey: the sky was very pale, or somewhat like a duskish tynn colour, not much at sometimes unlike the colour of the moon at her increase, ever and anon flashes of lightning appearing faintly and in a very long motion, I mean the flashes extended themselves into a great length, but their latitude was not very much, the flashes extended themselves in length just East and West; Many times, or after 7. or 8. several flashes of lightning, we did sensibly perceive about the middle of the flash, and as it were beyond it, or betwixt it and the fixed slats, a long yellowish apparition of somewhat in form and shape almost like to a Serpent, incurvating a little at each end, in this fashion  line with upturned ends  
It seemed to be soll●d and firm, for I saw no dissipation or dispersion of parts at any time, it ever shewed itself of an equal length, neither greater or smaller, nor did it move from the place where first I beholded it more or less for one hour together, it still continued indissoluble and visible once in 7. or 8. lightnings: it was under or very near or seemed so to that constellation we call Corona meridionalis, itis an Image which consists of 13. Stars, itis also called Ixions wheel, there are five of the fourth magnitude, six of the firth magnitude, two of the sixth: itis represented on the Globe like a crown turned topsy turvy betwixt the fore-feete of the Sagittarie, in the first Decanate of capricorn, and is conceived to be of the nature of ♄ and ♃, the left knee of the Sagittarie holding fast one part of the crown, and the South end of the centaurs bow an other part, and the tail of the Scorpion; they who have Globes may be pleased to see those constellations how they stand, and so learn some knowledge of the signification of these apparitions, they have great South latitude from the ecliptic; there did ascend at the southwest end of the fiery openings or ends of the lightning, certain appearance of Stars like fire-balls of a proportionable greatness, which with great celerity and quick motion ascended sometimes directly up towards the ecliptic and above it, at other times in a more obliqne way, they shot their bodies Westward over the Thames, other from the West meeting them. whilst these fiery ejaculations mounted into the air Southward, you must know there was other such like appearances West-ward, with a still quiet and gentle thunder without any affiright as if it thundered at a great distance from London: there was in the western quarters all this while plentiful flashings and lightnings, but it was rather above the ecliptic or seemed so, and still these fiery darts or fiery balls shot upwards towards those Stars that are above the ecliptic and have north latitude, and I do well remember I saw them according to the sight of mine eye dart toward the Serpents mouth and Corona Septentrionalis, this Corona Septentrionalis, or Ariadne corona, is represented in form of a crown, the mouth of the Serpent gaping wide open at it, but it seems to be guarded by the spear of Arctophilax, which stand upright along by it; it consists of 8. Stars as Pycho saith, one of the second magnitude, four of the fourth magnitude, of the fifth one, of the sixth two, and the head of Arctophilax, and then to the 7. Stars, vulgarly called Charles wanes or Ursamajor: as these furious whirling Stars did move towards the North, for so they did, there was still darting and casting this way and that way, upwards and sideway, backward and forward, and every way, and to all quarters in a nimble and violent motion, as if the Stars had been together by the ears; An other thing and most memorable I must acquaint you with, viz. that upon the opening of one cloud and flashing of the lightning, there appeared somewhat therein like a Star, which ejaculated his beams like the sun, but was in quantity less then the moon and much of her colour, and this appeared divers times in the South, but after a great flash of lightning, either the same appearance or one like it clavae in sunder in the middle, and as I conjectured by my ocular observation fell in oath Thames near the Horse ferry at Lambeth. These unusual airy sights and forerunners of some mischief for most part, old begin Easterly, and then wheeled towards the South, then Westward and ended in the North, about a 11. of the clock the same night, yet some say it lasted all the whole night, and seemed to pass remote somewhat and at a distance from London, and to wander over the midland Counties of this kingdom, I mean according to the observation of the eye without any instrument. Whether jupiter his being with the Pleiades that same day in longitude, of which influence God himself maketh mention, did assist in this great disturbance of the heavenly regions, or whether the Sun being that day in conjunction with Hercules, and Mercury with Praesepe, and the Aselli North and South all impetuous and violent Stars, were the natural causes of these monstrous apparitions, I cannot decide; but in Astrology I say we can give no other account: Or whether those Angels we call Acriall, which have their habitations in the lower regions of the air had directions from the superior Intelligences to give us warning of some imminent danger in that language we best understand: or whether the tutelary angel of the English Common-wealth was willing to communicate comfort unto us, if we could apprehended it, by telling us the storm should be driven Northwards, as indeed it fell out, by that memorable and miraculou Rupertine defeat, 2. julij following: Whether any of these were the authors and natural instruments I cannot determine, I conceive it the finger of God, or some extravagant excursion of nature; these unperfect mixed things engendered in the air seldom chancing without cause of admiration in our inferior orb and Common-wealth, as all conversant in Histories do well know: in short, I tell my country what I conceive is in part meant and intended hereby, craving a favourable construction of the learned, of the Sectary nothing but ill language, of the ignorant a mere misconstruction.  

The authors judgement.  
VPon a sudden and unexpected accident, the dissipation and dissolving of some mysterious close consultation and mischievous plot against our State and Common-wealth is portended; the disunion and disagreement of the Projectors amongst themselves, and all this in 
* Merline is almost inclined to believe some that wore a Crown were dying at time of this strange sight: or in some jeopardy of losing their sceptre. A wise people incli●ing to great indiscretion if not their undoing,  foreign parts as well as in England: A renting in pieces or mutinous disturbance of some Monarchy near hand, or some Austrian family or Principality, &c. A commotion of the meaner sort of people against some principal man, or Magistracy: loss to spain; That we English with our Armies shall travers all the in-land Countries of this kingdom, &c. This is all I either can or dare say.

The Parliaments victory in the North, which began 6.30. P.M. 2. july, 1644. the Elevation of the Pole being 54.40. P. the Ascendant at the beginning of the Fight being the 25. ♐  
GOD only gave the victory; but let me see by what natural causes he is pleased to manifest his will unto us; it will not be unpleasant to the studious in Astrology, if I dilate a little: Thou must know at the beginning of our Parliament jupiter and Mars were the significators of the Honourable Members of each House, because Pisces ascended at its beginning, and Mars was in Pisces in the ascendant. At the beginning of this sight you may see 25. ♐ to ascend, the almost degree of the ascendant of the conjunction of Saturne and jupiter, 1641 / 3. we had for some time the worst, because neither Mars or jupiter beholded the ascendant, but when ♑ ascended and Mars the Lord of the ascendant of this year came to behold the ascendant with a trine, we began to have the better, but not totally, until the 24 of ♑ ascended, which was about 26 minutes past eight: a good sign of victory, at what time jupiter aspected the degrees ascending with tryne was to have the ascendant of the year culminating: and Mercury Lord of the seventh ℟ and the Sun in the twelfth from lo: as also the moon being disposer of the Sun in the Mediety descending: Yet I am confident our loss was more then we know of, because Saturne is Lord of the second, and ☋ is there also, but I conceive it was especially in moreables as I have red in some relator or other: I could enlarge.

THis Conjunction is the weakest and least of those which chance betwixt the three superior planets, viz. Saturne, Jupiter, and Mars; and is therefore most ignorantly by some vulgar Astrologers termed a great Conjunction; it will have more then ordinary signification at this time, by reason itis the first Conjunction of these two planets since that of Saturne and Jupiter 1642 / 3. as also because here is almost in every Country fit matter already stirred up for the influence to work upon. I omit all ambiguous words, or such expressions as may onely cloud the sense of the Conjunction, but not explain it, and our common astrological terms in Art, and will endeavour to give my countrymen of England that are plain men, down right dealing men, the true sense of this heavenly position, which in effect speaks thus much: That, high and mighty actions, deliberate councils, various intendments, are at present in Consultation, and hereafter more to be as well in England as beyond the Sea; this hath very great signification of the estates, affairs, fortunes, kingdoms, Subjects of Kings and Princes; this foreshows what the Nobility and Gentry shall trust unto, viz. loss of life and fortunes: and the Clergic both at home in England, and beyond Seas find most true, viz. great division both in their private and public affairs: this intimates very many treaties with excellent words in several places of Europe; and yet in the mean time men levying, arms providing, money borrowing, legerdemain under hand, friends corrupted, and all these provisions to be ready in September or October if things hit right, else a longer time must be required. I find a most treacherous plot is cunningly hatching and covertly managed against England, and some other Christian Commonwealths, and that the Europeian monarchs do generally intend in their several territories a Parley, what course every one may take for his own and Allies safeguard, all begin to be afraid. Work enough at home, I say. The soldier, the Gentleman, and some Nobles are all to Consult and meet in council, they unanimously seem to desire peace and to be at Unity; but a secret cunning hand, a device they dream not of, impedites all their consultations, and craftily over-rules their consults, so that at one time they loose their labours, & immediately after their lands, &c. the just reward of those who desert their country. Our Courtiers in England are like to go together by the eats amongst themselves. Oh the unexpected treason, treachery, and unlucky failings that this figure portends to the Kings of Europe, and what infinite sufferers they shall be by means of the policies and underhand subtleties of their bosom favourites, who no sooner receive a secret from their Masters lips, but as speedily convey the sense of that secret to their Masters enemies. Et hoc est certissimum.  
The Dragons tail so near the degree culminating, and jupiter so poor in essential fortitudes, so miserable afflicted by Mars, Saturne being Retrograde in his fall, and in that house representing their Friends, Correspondents, Allies, and Assistants, Counsels, Consultations, &c. this onely, were there no more, might terrify Kings, and affright Princes and great ones: for it plainly tells them, they shall find nothing but falseness, backsliding, delays, politic ends, discovery of their secrets, in those kindes of men before name, and on whom they shall so much rely: Could I but remove Saturne out of the eleventh house in this figure, or if Mercury could have been more elongated from the Dragons tail in the worlds figure; peace would instantly follow in England, and quietness in all or most kingdoms of Europe. But Saturne is a salow and melancholy mischievous Planet, and Mercury is sly and wary, politic and perjurious: so that long it will be ere Princes be wise and discerning, and sift out the treasons and knaveries of these their old Saturnine counsellors and nimble witted Secretaries, &c. both whose counsels are equally pernicious. The moon and Mercury are in reception, Luna is populus, viz. the people, under that notion I comprehend those that take part with them, nay, they, viz. our principal members sitting in Parliament signified in this figure by the moon, Mercury, Venus, &c. begin to foresee much, perhaps some grand device, it troubles them not; the moon applies to mercury, as if nothing should be acted without more then ordinary care and advice: Mercury carries the light to jupiter, and the same day jupiter and Venus are in a friendly Tryne, a wonderful good aspect if God give his blessing; a Missive really and religiously penned, and gravely consulted on is sent by Venus, who transferres it to jupiter, and he is Lord of the royal house, and Venus is Lady of the fift: viz of Messengers and ambassadors. But alas jupiter is almost out of Taurus and now in the terms of the infortunes, that is in the clutches of such as will undo him; if two degrees give two months, what will some body do in September or October! Immediately after this Conjunction, it is intimated, our State hath frequent meetings, for some good design or other, the aspects show very many consultations, and many debates and a longing desire to accommodation, some interruption I fear, and I am certain we shall find, because the Sun is now in Leone, a proud stately and wilful sign, and jupiter he is in a fixed sign, Mars corrupting Iupiters iudgement, perhaps too much standing on terms( the wicked advice of Saturne interposing, and the obstinate wilfulness of some State Courtiers coadjuting) may prejudice our best of expectations and frustrate the hopes of a blessed peace. However its opportune for our unwearied honourable Members of both Houses to treat all August and till the latter end of September, the face of Heaven being faire, amicable and promising them much honour thereby, &c. I well fore-see if we in England treat, they in Polonia and Swethland, and especially in Ireland, will be wondrous busy in their councils, each of these Nations is hammering upon some great design, for any thing I see, when jupiter is translated out of Taurus, the Irish may stand upon their own Guards. Its in agitation what part of Germany to enter or fall on by some in the world. May not some hestile enemy approach Bavaria, or some slaughter be in Catalonia, or some irruption into Norway. What will ye say if the mountainous Calabrian rise and disturb? Will it not be news, if during the Effects of this Conjunction, or the latter end of September or in October the French Nation receive a brush: and Denmark a remarkable disaster, and the Imperials small comfort, if a pitched field be fought. Many towns, Castles and Forts do immediately after this Conjunction surrender by treaty to our States of England; some towns in the North, and some in the West, others south-west parts of England: O Reges, & vos Principes, Excellent Kings and Princes ( totius Europae) of all Europe, reject the advice of Saturne, and let not Mercury have the privilege to writ your letters, and then you may expect a blessing in your Common-wealths: John thou honourable King of Portingall, suffer not Saturne to be a counsel our with thee; until he is admitted, I conceive, thou shalt flourish: But if I tell not the world who Saturne is, I say nothing; he is in transmarine parts a Iesuite, or jew: in England a Iesuite or Sectarist: there's Mors in Olla where the jesuit or Jesuited Counsellors advice; or where they come in the privates of Princes: and as for Mercury who represents Kings Secretaries, find me one in Europe, who hath not a J suite either attending in household, or assisting in counsel; if the Quadrature of Saturne and Mercury out of two cardinal signs, make not my conjecture and prediction good, let a Novice in astrology whip me, &c.— We English pay dear for their late and also now residence in England, so have many Princes of Europe; so shall France, and so in time the provident Hollander shall lament that serpentine generation, if not heedfully prevented; so should the Pope that now is, if he had not as much Art as wit.  
Jove is peregrine out of all essential dignities, and Mars the soldier insults over the decaying Nobility and Gentry: the Clergy and episcopal may go to wrack, nor doth the Lawyer thrive, or doth learning advance: the Conjunction is averse to all these mens qualities, &c.  
That which I mean of the jesuit, I also intend the same judgement of the right Sectarist, the firebrand and incendiary of the Protestant Religion; it may be doubted whether jesuit or Sectarist is more knave and most destructive to any Common-wealth they inhabit.  
August the 21. the Sun suffereth Eclipse, the figure whereof followeth inserted, because it hath great relation to this present Conjunction.

The very degree of the fourth house in the Conjunctionall figure is the place eclipsed and very near the now degree ascending. If any great person now in action and busy have the 6. 8. 9. or 10. of Virgo ascending in their Nativities, let him, her, or them either make his, her, or their last will and testament, or commit their honour, if they are of that quality, to dust; or their persons to an honest strong Castle commonly called a prison. The Mid heaven of this ecliptical Scheame is the very degree of this present Conjunction of jupiter and Mars. Admiranda pronuncio eventura Angliae & aliquibus Regionibus per hanc conjunctionis & Eclipsis Harmoniam: Verily I may pronounce some wonderful things to happen to England, and some other Regions by the harmony of this Conjunction with the Eclipse. And although I am not ignorant of that in Ptolomey, viz. Nihil nocent Eclipses in ist is regionibus in quibus non videntur. viz. Eclipses hurt nothing at all those regions, wherein they are not visible: Yet cannot I consent unto him, or allow that his judgement for true, either in particular mens Nativities, or in the general accidents of the world; having found the contrary in my practise and experience: For as in every eclipse either Solar or Lunar, there is privation of light more or less, so doubtless( if Eclipses work any thing, which all or most of the Learned confess they do) there can be no eclipse whether subterranean or supraterranean, but it shall operate more or less, more violently and conspicuously if it be above the earth, with less stir and more obscurely if it be not visible, I mean upon those Countries subject to the sign and quarter of Heaven afflicted: At the time of this eclipse Mercury disposeth the two Luminaries: Celeres motus significat; & in humanis negotijs celeritatem, industriam & caliditatem ad ea quae agendasunt: said cum propè solum volvatur, ventos ciet inordinatos, tonitrua, fulmina, hiatus, terrae motus & fulgura: In this eclipse Mercury praenotes sudden motions, celerity, painfulness, craft, policy and subtlety in agitating human affairs, and managing mens actions; let us in England beware of shuffling and juggling, of packing and crafty sly pretences, for Mercury tells us all this; but being near the Sun beams, and so to combustion, he stirs up sudden winds, thunders, lightning, opening of the earth in many places, earth-quakes( this you must understand in Countries usually subject to earth-quakes) fire breaking out of the clouds: My private fancy or judgement is, because Mercury being Lord of the Ascendant and partly of the tenth house, and he is combust and afflicted by the sun Lord of the twelfth house, it doth premonstrate the Captivity of some King, Prince or Commander or Commanders in chief of Armies, Cities, towns and Castles, or of some eminent person and persons: The day of the eclipse shall no sooner come but the effects of this eclipse shall immediately show themselves, because it is in the ascendant and in conjunction of the nimble Mercury, who is exceeding swift in his motion, and will enforce the actions depending of the eclipse and conjunction to operate like a furious whirl wind: so that it may seem, there will be frequent Messages, multiplicity of negotiations, plentiful emission of directory Letters to this Country, to that City, to this State, to this King, to this ambassador, that Agent, all this Europeian part of the world in consultation what to do: No State of Europe without se are, terror and mistrust; doubtful which way to steer a course, or with what Prince or Nation to make league, all in suspense where the cloud of these impending misfortunes shall fall; itis good to be wise, and he is very prudent and foreseing that can defend his own territory either from internal insurrection or exterior invasion, especially now and until 1647. Nor do I see any reason to adhere to Ptolomey, who will have those places especially passive which are under the same trigon or triplicity wherein the eclipse falleth, as for example, because this eclipse is in ♑ an earthly sign, some would say, Paris in France must begin the dance, and therefore all those that have either ♑ or ♉ ascending in their Natives must su far by the effects of this eclipse, for this his division of the effects by several quadrants upon several Countries Campanella justly finds fault: I should rather conceive that those countries and men subject and born under ♓ being the opposite sign to the sign of the eclipse; and those in quadrate, viz. Sagittarius and geminy shall have principal share in the effects good of ill of this solar eclipse; what countries those are, you may read in every common almanac. This eclipse tells our Parliament that they shall get into their custody and possession many of their principal enemies, but they must then take care to keep them: doth not Mercury dispose both of the Sun and moon, and is not he in his own house with the Dragons head; I like not Saturne in the ninth house, will some novel disputes or sectaries arise in Religion, or will some untrusty Agents show us good horsemanship, and so disturb our Parliamentary Patriots: But now again I return to the pursuit of the Conjunctionall influence, from which I have casually but not improperly deviated, for I well know the two Luminaries either put forward or retard any of these Conjunctions, for God placed them for lights, that is to give us understanding especially in heavenly judgements by their scite, place and being: Some, and they no small Clerkes aver, with whom I freely join issue; Conjunctio jovis & Martis in Tauro, destructionem Civitatum, mortem quorundam magnatum, pluvias mulias, corruscationes & tonitrua signisicat; viz. the meeting of jupiter and Mars in Taurus, foretells the destruction of some Cities and towns, the death of certain Noble-men, much rain the season of the year considered, lightning and thunder: Albumaz. diff. 2. libri 3. de Conjunct. tells us, Quando Mars jovi conjungitur, significat illud, quod homines nimium exercebune exercitus & bella, & multitudinom insurgentium & malum, & multitudinem causarum & advensum bubonum in quibusdam Climatibus, & caristiam quarundam bestiarum, & mortem regis in illa revolutione.  
When Mars is in conjunction with jupiter, he hath this very signification, that men shall too much set their hearts upon wars, there shall be many insurrections, abundance of complaints, causes and Lawsuites, an appearance of many frogs and toads in some Regions, scarcity of some manner of Cattle, it must be here of great beasts, because jupiter is Lord of the sixth house and is afflicted by Mars, and they are both superior Planets, also some dangerous diseases amongst them, and in conclusion death is portended to some King ere jupiter and Mars finish their Revolution, which will be 3. Novemb. 1646 But me thinks I hear in the Heavens a muttering as if some barbarous Souldiers should be intended from the South-east to come and afflict us; were it not good to have an eye to that part of Heaven; Its rather feared, then hoped it will be so.  
But sith the Conjunction is almost in Gemine, erit nimia mors in honunibus, there will be too great a destruction of man-kind ere this Revolution be completed: I find one consideration very remarkable, viz. the three superior Planets all above the earth, oriental, all of them by positure in the eleventh house; I shall tell you in respect of essential dignities they are very weak and imbecill, and of no great fortitude, they in that represent a vast company of workmen but no materials to go forward with the building, they tell us of the declining estate of the supreme Viceroye of men, the uncertainty of the fortunes and lives of Kings, Princes, queens and Nobles: If it be well considered, that the moon is Lady of the ascendant, and partly dispositrix of the Conjunction itself, it directeth us excellently for finding out the intention of the Scheame: Now if the mediety ascending according to holy and Guido be the representative quarters of Heaven for our State, as most certain it is, the figure being exactly corrected for the Meridian of London, and all the Planets in their several motions fitted thereunto; then I say, it absolutely expresseth, a great and notorious defection of many Noble-men, Gentlemen, men, countries and towns from his Majesty, and a further deserting of him of some men of greater quality, then was evident in the figura mundi hujus anni. It doth portend our Parliament should meet with some good store of rich treasure, or acquisition of some moneys they expected not, some Countries and towns, Castles, &c. It shows corruption in some principal earl, or Baron, or general, or Camp Officer, it shows failings in the Irish and welsh, impoverishment, or mutinies either in Paris or some Countries in France, and some eastern Countries from us, it shows much unwillingness in many of his Majesties friends to do him further service; and that in the Courtiers consultations there is no agreement, no assuredness; it tells his Majesty there's treason where he least suspects it: some great persons must suffer by death, either by beheading or otherwises of some ambassadors signified by Mars Lord partly of the fifth that shall address themselves to his Majesty in August upon the tryne of Venus and jupiter, if not the latter end of this july month.  
It tells our State they shall have the proffered friendship of many men: a black or a read mans friendship they may suspect; let them trust according to knowledge: itis laboured to corrupt some of their Officers. In regard jupiter is Lord of the sixth house and in affliction of Mars, it may denote sudden violent Fevers proceeding from blood overheated, griefs and consumption of the lungs more then usually, but not any epidemical disease, the Plague or the like, perhaps the French pox will be active in October.  
During the Retrogradation of jupiter and his being in the latter degrees of Taurus which will be from the second week in September until. 24. March next, it will go hard with the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, Lawyers and Phisitians, I doubt this Scheame points out one principal physician for a strong enemy of the Parliaments. The 7. November next the Sun and jupiter in 26. ♉ and 26. Mercury come to opposition, it will question some great person. The 11. of December, 1645. jupiter and Sol come to opposition, and the 18. of the same jupiter and Mars in the last degrees of ♊ and ♐. The 16. of April, 1646. Mars and jupiter come to a square, jupiter in the first of Cancer, Mars in the first of Aries; off goes some bodies head, if such professions be then in practices. The third of Novemb. 1646. jupiter and Mars meet again in the eighth of ♌ a violent but Kingly sign that conjunction may produce some more able pen, mine at the present being dulled.
