itor,anjwc- fUch ardour have been the onelj"Promoters thereof, and the moil
rtd'
induftrious therein, as they in all Ages have been. For it is high
ly contrary to Reafon, to believe any Man (much lefs him thf c is
learned ) viybvtfd advanceltliac whiefo any way thwahs or oppofts

rea qy t Yhake nands therewith. I fhall hot here malte a Diftinlion between the Religmu and the w ife , as the learned Mr. Hart*ohtsTP
aSiesil hath done * : howbeit , they that fuppofe Aftrologie repugeftbe fixednant to Divinity, are not in the number ( I fuppoie ) "of the-SV

I he Kingly Prophet fings , P fa lm i9 . Werfel. The

Adverlary , that fhall brand Aftrologie , which treateth of the
Power oi die Heavens and Scars , tor being contrary to D i

SwadihiT ? Many things ( faith a learned Divine * ) I heretofore did beDivinity Cf lieve againft Aftrologie, and was perfwaded thereunto from its
no Enemya N am e, Root 3 and End 5 but upon a juft Examination, I retradt j
becaufe (faith he) / finde the Afirologer neither an Inchanter ,
andiv. cc witch , or Dealer with Familiar Spirits , &c, nor yet to meddle with
cc MagiaDemoniaca 5 and other Magia\ read of none , but what is
<c called Divina , Mathematica , or Phyfica5 none of which I conic ceive will any wife Man fay is unlawful 5 and therefore I give my
cc Vote for the Legality of Aftrologie.------- And the Reafons that in duceme hereunto, are the very fame which perfwaded me to
the contrary, (1.) Their Name * the Hebrews call the Stars

cc indinant. And therefore by the Stars may the Aftrologer pre dil Mans Inclination and Manners 5 which if good, "may be
cc heightned by a holy Ambition 5 if bad , may be prevented by

<c good Education.-----(2.) Tiie Root, ir was not Idolatry, bur
cInnocency j Adam in Paradife was the Father of this A r t ; and had
cc he as well obferved the Star of Knowledge for the Direction of

cchis W ill , as the Tree of Knowledge ior the pleafmg of his
cc Fancie, he had not yet been banifhed. It was not Idolatry, but
ct Obedience , upon wiiich this Syen was grafted, when the Tree
cc was almoft withered: Abraham the Friend of G O D , and Father
<c o\ the Faithful, was no Step-Father to Aftrologie, i f we believe A n-
tiquhy. It was not Idolatry, but VVifdome, from which this

cc Art got Life, afrer it long lay bleeding: Solomon, the wifeft'of
Men , veas the heft Aftrologer the World ever entertaind ! And why
cc were the Priefts of Egypt forbidden the Study of all other Arts,
cc and yet permitted to Ifudy Aftrologie ? And why do the Aracc bicks call their Aftrologers Cachiu, wiiich comes of Cobu% which
c fignifies a Prieft Z Surely it is to tell the Aftrologer, that though
Ccthe Presbyter may be his Enemy , yet the Prieft may be his Friend , and
callow his Art lawful j not onely for the Root of it, bural{o(3.)
cc for the End of it y---- -which cannot be injurious to God , becc caufc the Aftrologer confefteth ,----- Sapiens Dominabitur Aftris.
Thus far (and farther) this learnedDoUor. Yet a little more : we
have another learned Divine among us, who makes it a Doctri
nal Observation, - That it is our Duty to ftudy the Heavens , and to
be acquainted with the Stars * . The learned Ptolomy affirms in the
beginning of his A In agef t , ------ Hanc unam Scientiam efje viam , ac
femuam ad Sciendum Drum altifsimum. This equally conftdereJp,zx^
plainly cvinceth Aftrologie not to be contrary, but confonant to,
Divinity, and to the holy Scriptures,
2.
That Aftrologie (hould be repugnant to Policy , Laws , Fnfti-ThePoiitic^
9 fiction, Education, &c. is as impoflible as for it to be oppofice tooppafermDivinity: it may indeed be helpful unto them all, but no way^wercrf
hurtful unto any of them. 1 do allow with the Obje&ors, that
the Laws are good and neccifary, as they are intended to bridle
the wild and corrupt Pafliohs of Men 5 and no more to be faulted,
when they mifs of tneir right and proper end, then Wine is, when
icinaketh a Man drunk. Albeit, I muft acquaint him, that
the Stars haveiuc ha Power over the Manners and Minds of Men,
that they order anddifpofe them into fuch a frame , that when
they fhall meet with Laws or Ihftitutions contrary to their
Nature and Inclination, r e y efteern it the higheft Happinefs
to break and contound them. Hence it is, that Jayls and Prifons
are conlkandy turniihed with variety of Offenders 5 notwrithHanding many are taken thence continually , either toBanifhment or Death, or ocher lefs Puniihmenc. And therefore it was

iilTe i?htliac Soôn * 5 *n lê Acneman State , commanded , i hat their

c/Soionf* Lajv Should be always applyed to their Manners 5 and not their Man* strChcift. ners to the Law. And as a learned Knight * obfcrves , although
Defence of
Laws and Inftitutions under which vve live , be never fo good
Aftrotogy, and commendable, yet the Adverfary might as well profels to
sm.
fayl againft the V Vinde and Tyde , or to make a barren Soyle fer
tile , as to imagine that Laws or Inftitutions will be of any force, ,
without a Natural Propcnfion to that wherein we areinftru&ed,
or unto which we ought to be fubje& and obedient.
Now certainly Aftrologic, which fheweth the Reafon why

good and wholefome Laws and Inftitutions mils of their right
End and A im , cannot be thought Anti-Politic k 3 or Antt-Nomical j but may rather be efteemed oi good Ufe unto the Politici
an , in framing and forming Laws and Inftitutions fuirable to
the Conftitutions and Inclinations oi the People that are to be go
verned and inftru&ed by them. Had Attrologie been an Ene
my to Policie and the Laws , & c . AuguBm the Emperour would
never have been fo great a Friend unco it , as to have ftampedthe
Signe yj> Capricorn (tt being the Ascendent of his Nativity ) on his
Coyn, and advanced the fame tnbis Enfigne or Standard 5 as faith my
*svchrift. Author * .
Nay , fo eminently honourable was this Science
Hey Qn with Tiberius , as Tacitus and Dion teftifie , that he learnt the
fame oi Thrafillus at Rhodes , and afterwards brought him over
into Rome, honouring him above all Men , and attempting no
thing without his Advice. If then the greateft Politicians
have had fo great a Refpeft unto , and Honour for this Science ,
it cannot reafonably be conceived contrary to Policie, & c .
Then for Education 5 which in the thoughts of all ingenious
Men , cannot be held at an undervaluable Price , it being the very
beft of Ornaments to Mankinde. Beyond all queftion, itprofiteth very much s but then it mutt meet with a fit and proper Sub
ject. Every Man is not a Socrates $ nor have all Men a Power to
mafter or bridle their Affections and Paflions. I grant ( in a
juft fenfe ) A wife Man may rule the Stars: yet are therefew fo pru
dent, either by force of Nature or Education , but muftfubmic
( in a great meafure) to the Energie of Coeleftial Influences.
And although the Stars do not abfolutely neccifitate the W ill,
yet they fo ftrongly incline it, that the Effects of Nature are com
monly feen beyond the force of Education. W ere Education
of force fufficient in all refpe<5ts to better Nature, we fhould
have nofuch things as Injury or Injufticein the World, where
Education meets with an apt and proper inclination , like a skilful Lapi
dary, it polifbeth Nature, and prefents the World with a Comparative M i
racle. But, where it meets with a morofe or violent temper , it is but a
Slave to Pafsiony and makes the Native more miichievous and
cruel.

In us. ionic Men come to play me Viliams and Trea
chers with che greater Dexterity and Courage 5 and, ulingEducacion as a Bawd to their corrupt Defircs and Pleasures , co

None will deny, but N E R O was moft excellently well E ducated ; yet what unheard-of Actions is he recorded to have
done , when once he came to the Government of the Em
pire ? Although Tarim in many placesot his Hiftory, fpeaketh but meanly of Aftrologers 5 yet in this very Example ,
he hath (hewn himfelf fuch a Friend to their Predictions,
that he celtifieth on their behalf, That they before-hand did affure Agrippina his Mother of his Cruelty , &c. And this power
of a Natural Propenfity was not onely plain in Neroy but apparent
in Galha, Caligula, Dio^yfim 3 and others, that were diligentlv inftruCtod by moft excellent and learned Tutors 5 and yet afterward
returned to their Natural Improbity, and became foul Moniters of Men.
Thus we fee of what Force Education is , when it concurreth with , or contradi&eth a Natural Inclination and Tem
perature. Nature may be bettered t>y being joyned to Educa
tion 3 or Difi-ipline; but that withoucNature, or contrary to
i t , is Deficient 3 and of no more ufe , then if a Husband

Politician, in making known the Natures, Temperatures and

Something touching thef everal Opinions of the Worlds Nativity.
fcOqueftion the Worlds beginning*were to depart from

* the Heaven-like and pleafant Path of Chriftianifm>
and to run into the confufed and dangerous Road of

Atheifra: and for any Man to endeavour to confine
the fame to any limited certain time, (considering the
uncertainty of Hiftory and Ghronologie ) is every
whit 3 without doubt * as ridiculous and erronions;
yea, perhaps * as great and unwarranted a Prefumption.
Some Authors (and thofe mofl eminently learned) have fixed the timeof

their Opinion ; urging both Reafoa and Scnpcure for the proof thereof.

His harfh Inclinations Temperature Manners and O u e k ie , are well

and this hateful Afpeft happeneth from Angles and from Cardinal Signes*
Arguments moft eminent to denote a Matricide: Y e t I remember to have
read one that terms his murthering his Mother an ingenious Cruelcy in him,
his end being to determine the Cabinet of his Conception. Vide Pfeucograph, jinthrop, propefinem
The Quartile o f the Sun and Saturn from Angles , made him not onely
hated by thofe whom he by Prerogative Ruledbut inclined him alfo to com
mit things worthy o f Hatred and Difdain. In the Black Lift of his Aftions,
it is not to be forgotten that he did not onely murcher his Mother but firft
committed Inceft with her: then he poy fond his Brother; killed his Sifteritt-Law; deftroyed his Wife cpoppta (being great with Childe) by a K ick;
burnt Romei and rcjoyced at the fight of the Flames. Cum multis aliis. A f
ter all which unheard-of Cruelties and bloody and inhumane Afts he was
by the Senate proclaimed an Enemy to the State: Upon hearing o f which,
he became his own Butcher ; and in the thirtieth year o f bis Age killed himfetf, as fay Calvijius and Ifaacfott: But Cardan faith ic was in the thirty fecond year o f his Age $ unco whom I rather aftent in that the Direftions for

Direftions were the Moon to the Conjunftion of Mars and Oppofition of

whereat the Tail he
was murcbered by R i

one of fo gentle and mild aDlfpofirion, that few men could equal; and he
.gives one remarkable infiance thereof:--- when being in hie greattfi ejMifcrits md Afflictions f one rudely ftrjjtkjoim, he gently replycd>- Forfooth, yo 'it

Upon November the 6. 1.429. being aged eight years, He was crowned
Kingat Wefttmhfiex i the Mid-heaven was then dire&ed adTrinum Luna .And near ten years o f Age > be was crowned King o f France at R aru; the
Afcendentthen came to the Body of the Moon by Direfiion. .
Being aged twenty four years, he was married to that illuftrious La6y,. Margareti Daughter to che Duke of Anjou ; a Princefs o f moft Mafculine. Resolution and Courage , as is eminently feen by Mars his being in
Scorpio in the feventh Houfe, in Sextile of Venus in the Tenth : he had then
the. Afcencjent dire&ed to the Sextile o f Jupiter, who is Radically in Trine
and Reception o f the Sun.
When this great Prince was aged thirty nine years, he was captivated by
the Earl of March, and by theconfent of the People degraded of his King"fbip, and afterwards fent Prifoner to the Tower of London ; the Mid-heaven

was then directed to the Quartiie of the M oon, andiuddenly after to the
Q2.artile of Mars ; and the Afcendenc nigh about the fame time* to the Oppoiion of Mercury.
On the 2 1 of May, 1643. being then aged fifty one years, and after his
being twelve years imprifoned, he was murtheredby the Hand of Richard
then Duke of Glocefter: the Alcendenc was then dire&ed ad Quartilum
Saturni.
Sir Richard Baker faith, Although he was a Pious Prince, no Enterprise
of War, where-ever he was prefent, did prorper with him* as if it had been a
Defiiny attended him. Had this learned Knight but been acquainted with
A(lrologie3and confidered that the Moon had been in Oppofition of Mars in
his Nativity,and this from Angles; and Mars (which fignified his Enemies)
the moft potent Planet in the Figure, he might have concluded it a Dettmy
indeed* and very hard tobewithliood. The Reaforis of his Captivity are,
Venus, Lady of the Horofcope, in Quartile of Saturn -1 Jupiter, Lord o f the
Twelfth, in Quartile to the Afcendent: and, thirdly, Luna in Oppofition
of Mars, from fixed Signes and Angles. Which later being confidered to
gether with the Moon her being inter Vleiadum , which are violent fixed
Stars, denoted his violent Death.
Thus much for this (Jrcat (yet moft 'Unfortunate ) Prince his Na

The fame Author that trifled with King Henry-the $th his Geniture, hath
been (to little purpofe) bufying himfelf with this likewife ; and tells us;---That the Pleiades Culminating * and four Vianets being in their Detriments or
Falls, (although in Truth there are but three of them which fo fuifer, viz,,
the Sun* Moon and $ ) together with V s being in the Afcendent of this Nati
vity* might well give caufe tofufpett this King fhould neither live long* or have
any qttietnefs in his %eign. HU Reign* Xwillingly grant, was fomewhae cii.fquieted and troubled ; and indeed * he did not live very long : but he mull:
needs be an incompetent Art ill that {hall refer this to the fore-mentioned
Arguments in his Nativity. For King Henry the fecond and third of France,
and divers other Princes and meaner Perfons* have had as many Planecs de
bilitated in their Nativities , and neverthelefs have, out-lived this Princely
Natives years. And that glorious Prince * of ever famous memory , King
James of Englandfizd. the Pleiades Culminating* and d1and "hin of $
Lady of the tenth FXoufe, upon the Cufp thereof * (fa rworfe then the Pleia
des Culminating ) and yet he was lyable to nofuch Jnfortunacies.
The eminent and true Aftrologtcal Reafons of this illuftrious Natives
ihorc Life, and troublefome Reign, are thefe : The Quadrate o f ehe Lumi
naries from Tropical and Equinoctial Signes ; and 3 Lord o f the Afcendent
being in exact Square of T* from violent fixed Signes, cf being in a malitious
place o f the Heavens. Nor is V s prefence in the Horofcope always a Tellimony o f ihortLife; chiefly, if he be fortified , as in this.Nativity he is,
viz,, by the prefence of $, A of %, and o f 3 his Difpofitor.
. Had this Pious Prince but miffed the cruel Directions before-mentioned,
inWhich, the three principalHylechs are concerned,and the Quartiles of the
Luminaries, and of & and 3* not been fo Parcil, he might have lived as long
as moft Kings that ever Reigned in England, and have Reigned quietly too,
'Notwithstanding V s prefence in the Afcendent, or the Culminating o f the
Pleiades.' 111 Pofitions are bad, but ill Directions are the furefl Tokens of a
ihort and troubled Life.
I cannot here omit the falfe Play that Gajfendut ufeth toward, Afirologe rs
at large, and Catdanus in particular, about this Princes Geniture: For (faith
he) -Cardan predicted that King Edward ould be very fickly in the 23 , 24,
and 25 th year of his Age 5 anfyet (faith he) the Records of England affureses
that hs died in the 1 6th year of his Life : And immediately after fubjoyns
this fcoffing Quere ; O ! if Cardan had had the luckjo haveforetold that, this
King ould fall into fame dangerous Dlfiempcr in that year therein he died,
what joyswhat triumphswhat quacking would there have been amongAfirologers?
But is k n o t a very great Argument that Gajfendu* either never read Car
dan,
by halves, and with Prejudice ? forbad he read him impartially,
as an Author ought fo be read, he would never have abfed him* by relating
what put of him ferveth as an Occafion (though weak) whereon for him to

moft monftrous to conclude ocherwife.
When the Afcendenc came to the^f of ,this illuftrious Princefs came to
the Crown of Great Britain ; viz., in the year 1553. being then aged near
37 years : a Direction very pertinent for fuch an Accident.
Suddenly after, viz., in 15 <54. this eminent Lady was married co Prince
Philip of Spain: (and as a Remembrance very common o f that inter-marri

One in EagfanMome years fmee, pretending to prefenc unto the World
this.illaiiriou Qaeehs cru ; Nativity, tells his Readers,that fhe died when the
Attendent came to che Pleiades byDireHon : and after a confident manner,
(afcif it had been impolfibie for hitnto (rave erred) he fubjoyns thefe words]:
--------- *1 knowita TRjtifoK (f-irh he) whyf a (kottld have he agry with any

that ilie might well-have been angry ar any one breaming her with fo falle
a Fear : for fhe muft have lived many more years then fixey nine, before ever rbac Diretion could have happened. But befides, if it could have
touched in her Life-time*, and at the fame time that mifiaken Perfon would
have-bad ic> there is no Aftroioger that I know of, (except himfelf) thac ever averred fuch a Direion to portend Death : for the Pleiades, chough
appearing to us but as feven Stars, are fourgreac Confteliations, containing
i%6 Starsin number, thit are ( by the Aftiftahce of good Optical Glaffes)
to be plainly feen ; and to which of thefe the Afcendenc fhoutd 6e directed
to have fuch a fatal Effect, ( for fure he intends not all at once) requires his
better Explication. Bur I pafs by this, as a point coo nice for an Ignorant lit
Agronomy.
To prove this Nativity the true one, I {ball vrifi it by thefe three grand
Accidents which happened to this eminent Princefs in her Life-time : Viz,
1. In the at year of her A g e , fhe was imprifoned, and laboured undet
many Crofs and Afflictions : fhe had then operating the Sun ad Quadraturn Saturni, and this in the ninth Houfe ; exactly denoting the Caufe for
which fhe fuffered, viz.. Religion.
2. In the 25th year o f her A g e , this illuftrious Native, was crowned
Queen of Great Britain, &c. and at this rime the Afcendent was directed
ad Trinum Solis 5 the onely Patron of Honour and Soveraignty.
3. Being 69 years o ld , (he died : at which time fhe had the Afcendent
diredled adQttartilum Saturni , in Ariete 5 a Signe thac Saturn mofttnifchievoufly hates.
In the Revolution! 1 Figure for that year, there was a ConjnnSiion o f the
rwo Infortunes in th oppofice place of the Moon in her Nativity a and the
Figure it felf nearly in Quamle to thac at Birch ; the Lord o f the Afcendent
was in the Eighth , and the Sun was falling into the fixth Houfe : And the
very day o f her death , viz. 24 of Marchi 1602. the Sun and Mars were
in the place o f the Direction,and the Moon was in Quadrate Afe& of them
both.

Have Calculated
and Reduced the
Suns place in this
Nativity* by the Ta
bles in my DoZtrwe of
Nativities; and the
Planets places I have
taken from the learnedStaaius his Ephemerides for that time
given* having had re
gard ter Reduction.
Without the true
place of the Sun* it is
impolfible to fet the
Figure righc ; and
the
Confideradon
hereof negleiled, oc
casioned one among
us ( fame fourteen
years Since ) to erre no lefs then a Degree and a half in the Mid-heaven and
fourth Houfes* and a Degree in the Afcendentandfeventh Houfes* and (by
confequence) the fame in all the reft of the Figure : and yet the time given
is the lame by which I have corre&ed this Nativity* and the Poles Elevation
the fame alfo.
Here are feveral eminent Arguments of Acquisition of Honour and Dig
nity : as a ( i .) The Sun being in exa& to the Afcendeht from the tenth
Houfe : (a.) The Moon in Partile X- of %, who is in d of Pars Fortunes in
rhe fecond Houfe : (3.) $* who is domina decimal Lady o f Soveraignty in
this Genitqre,Is Culminating with divers eminenc fixed Stars* and this in her
own Dignities * thence calling a A to the fecond Houfe : (4.) The Lumi
naries are in a ilrong Reception each with other, and the Lord of the Afcendent is in the tenth Houfe* in d of > calling a to the Afcendent.
But notwithftanding thefe eminent Arguments of Soveraigntywhich were
truly verified in this prudent and Princely Native * his being veiled with the
Crown of Great Britain & c. fie had many Difficulties attended his Reign,
as our Chronicles exprefly mention. I fhall not trouble my felf to enume
rate them here* but fhall acquaint the World, they were vy6Uportended by
$ her Pofition fo near , and in perfeft Q of h arid & , and 0 and ? their
being in D o f U (Lord of the Seventh) from Cardinal Signes.
This Kingly Geniture was chiefly verified by thefe grand Accidents fol

Some ignorant Artifls have Parafitically printed it, that this eminenc and
famous Prince died by Poyfon : which fuggeftfon , as it is moft untrue, and
fcandalous to the memory of an eminenc Peer late of this Realm (whofe
Nativity was too fympathetical with this Kingly Natives , for the perpe

then a Debility,and therefore can no way denote a violenc Death. UoLord

Yet cor.iidering this Book may be common when that may be fcarce , I
fhall (for the fatisfa&ion of thofe that have not ieen that Rook) demonftrace
this to be the true Nativity of this Martyrd and Murtherd Prince , thus:
---- In the, 2 5th year of his Age, he was crowned King oGreat Britain, and
fuddenly after was married unto the Daughter of King Henry the fourth of
France ; The tjliedium Cceli was then directed ad Tritium Luna, in the An
gle of Dignity. This Princely Native in the 29th year of his Age, had the Mid-heaven direiled adOppoJrtum Solis ; and then he diifolved his Parliament.
Inche 38 th year of his Age* the Scots pretend Reli'gidh; and rebel againft
him* though their lawful Soveraign : Then was the Moon under the Diredlcion of the Body of Saturn, both with and without Latitude.
In the year 1-641. being the forty firft year o f his Agerbe fummoned anonother Parliament, and they conteffd with their King for the Militia j & c .
and chen (by reafonof Si&aries, and their divers pretended religious Out
cries and Complaints made again ft the Biihops) his Miieties and Sorrows be
gan to encreafe to purpofe : The Afcendent was chen directed to the Qua
drate of Venus Lady of the tenth Houle,and che Mid-heaven at the fame time
to the Quartile of Jupiter.
When he was 46 years oldihe hazarded his glorious Perfon in the Scotiih
Army3 and expe&ed fafety among them; but they, to their eternal Difhonour, fell him to the EngHffi Army, who kept him clofe Prifoner: The Afceridenc was then dire&ed ad Contrantifciusn Luna , and an ill Revolution ;
befides, the malignant Planet Saturn was then tranliting his tJMedium Cceli.
Being aged 48 years, he was bafely butchered under the pretence of Jufticeand L aw , by his ownSubje<$ts ; his Head being cutoff by aVizarded
Villain, upon a Scaffold before his own Palace-Gate: The Afcendenc was
then dire&ed to the D of <$. All which things you will finde more fully and
particularly handled in the Difcourfe before noted.
Afcer this unparalleld and prodigious Tragedy was a&ed , the Regicides
allowed fome Loyal Perfons the Liberty to Inrerr his Corpfe: Which was

If I may take the
Liberty to fpcak
freely and accoroing
to the Rules o f Art
it is one of the moft
unfortunate Nativi
ties s for a Perfon of
Princely ExtraiVion,
that ever I beheld;
and yet I have feen
fome hundreds o f illuftrious Genicures.
For herein we finde the three fuperiour Planets Retrograde and Jupiter
Lord o f the Afcendenc under the Earth in Capricorn , which Aftrologers
term his F a ll; then the Luminaries are in Conjun&ion ( befieging poor
Mercury) upon che Cufp of the eighth Houfe, the moft unfortunate pare o f
the whole Heavens : and all of them indire& Quartile to the tenth Houfe
and in Oppofition to the Second.
The fortunate Planets are in Opposition from Angles and Cardinal Signes,
and the Infortunes in perfedt Conjunction in che fecond Houfe. I fpare to
urge the Aphorifms Authors afford us for the true underftanding of fuch Poficions their Significations being eafily underilood by the meaneft Arcift:
all chat I fhall urge is this : When this Princely Native was in a probable
Capacity of attaining Dignicies fuicable co che Honour of his Birch Death
fnatchd him out of tne W orld and in the 20th year of his Age , cropt this
lovely Flower before he was fully blown to the unexpreflible Grief o f Eng~
land.
I was, I confefs, once o f Opinion that the Sun or Moon could 110c be Hylechi if policed upon the Cufp oif che eighth Hcufe ; and thence was in good
hopes this hopeful Prince might have lived paft the Sun to the Oppofition

this young Lady was generally very lickly ; and the Report is no way im
probable : for here is one Infortune in her Afcendent, and the ocher in exait Quartile to i t ; and both the Luminaries are in Quadrate to it alio, and
this from the fourth Houfe. But it was alio reported of her, that notwithiianding her Aifii&ion of Body , yet in the Intervals of Healch > ihe would
difeover a mo(f Princely Difpofidon o f Minde : for in moil things ihe was
very Ingenious, Witcy and Apprehenfive. She was very curious in her Difquificions after Novelties, and expreifed very much Delight therein; as in

give you any large

count of the Aclionsj
Manners^ & c. of this
moil eminent Prince;
but refer you to the
Hifiory of his Life for
char. But this 1 fhall
acquaint the ingeni
ous Reader , That it
was no hard matcer,
or prediction impoifible > for the learned
Cauricits to forecel
the Dearh o f this
Princely Native by a
Wound in his Head ;
and this to happen in
the forty firfi year of
his A g e: if it be confidered,that the Sun was in 'V' (a Signe reprefenting the
Head) and fquared both by Mars and Saturn, (who are Competitors in the
difeoveryofthekind o f Death this iHuftrious Native fliould dieâs being both
of them effentially dignified in the Eighth) and oppofed by J u p i t e r Planet
pofited in the S ix th a n d all from Cardinal Signes : and that in the year Of
his Deaths the Afcendenc was directed co the Quadrate Afpe&of Mars,DiCpoficor of the Sun.
Now the learned Gauricsu having taken pains in the. Genifure of this
great Prince 3 (and that five years before he died) did* like a good Arriits
(and Ckrifiian too ) forewarn him by feveral s.idvifoes , to forbear running
at the Tilt 3 ( the grand Exercife then in ufe ) in the forty firft year o f his
Age ; for chat the Scars did then threacen a Wound in his Head i which
would caufe either Blindnefs or Death : which Prediction was molt remar, kably fulfilled in the fame year, and by the fame ACtion before noted ; for
as he was running at the Tilt-with the Earl of Montgomery , a Shiver of- his
Lance pierced into his Head , through the Vizard of his Helrrjetj of which
Wound he, according to Gauricm's Prediction died.
But now , if any Ihall Quefiion how Gauricw could hit fo right of the Exercife this illuftrious Prince fliould loofe his Life b y ; or whether Particulars
of fo rare Signification and Portent can be read in the Heavens or Stars : I
anfwer: Gattricut did not predict the kind of Exercife by which Death
ihould comeslut the time of Death onelyjby the Stars. The kind of Deaths
his Reafon led him to confider of 5 Tilting being the onely Exercife then in
ufe> as was before remimbred. So that to mix Reafon with Art j is not un
worthy the belt of Arcitts ; and indeed without fo doing 3 a Man can be no

drate colj. in the Afcendent, from Cardinal Signes. Thirdly , all the Sig
nificators of Death are near violent fixed Stars. And the Stars of the -Ar
cher defcend on the eighth Houfe, they being of the Nature of the Sun,and

It hath been con
troverted
very
much s Whether this eminent Native died a natural or a violent Death,
Some will have it that he died a violent Deaths viz,, bypoyfon : Otherss
that he died a natural Deaths viz,, o f a Fevers & c . ^ But his Nativity doth
feem (tomes and I have no reafon to be partial herein) to fide with the Re
ports and Opinions o f thofe that affirm he died a violent Death s ( and that
byPoyfon.)
For (1.) Saturn is Lord o f the Eighths and he pofited in Scorpio, aSigne
violent, malitious and poyfonous. (2.) He is there in exa& Quartile of
Mars, a violent fiery Planet s and his Difpofitor. (3.) The Moon ( Lady
o f the Horofcope ) is going to the Body o f one s and Quadrate Afpeft of the
other (4.) A violent Star upon the fixth Houfe 3 and the Lord thereof
Combuft ; and the Sun and hes boths are in Quartile to the Afcendent from
Cardinal Signes. (<y.) The Moon is in via Combufia. Thefe are eminent
Arguments o f a violent Death.
The kind of Death is apparently enough to be difeovered 5 for Saturn be
ing Lord thereof s and pofited in a violent venomous Signe s denotes ( as I
urged before) Death bypoyfon. See Cardan, Seg. 2. Aph. 108. Origaurn confents to the fame Opinions fol. 726. de Ejfetlib. Albubater fays s I f

Misfortunes he fhould recover all his former Greatnefs and Glory ; yea > and
m,re then ever he loft. And behold ! in the year 1660. his Kingdome was
made Hereditary, which before was but Elective j and he overcame his vio
lent Adverfaries, according to my Prediction exactly. And in page 38. of

hath with much Magnanimity Courage and Reflation kept and maintained

Have not alte

red this Geni

above
twelve minutes in

it to be the onely
true one of this
magnanimous and
great King,becaufe
ic fo exa&ly accords
with many eminent
and remarkable Ac
cidents, which have
happened to him
already.
i. Being aged
2 ? yearsviz., in the
year 1630. he was
moft miraculoufly preferved from Burning : near which time, (Jpafledby
his Afcendenc j tanda little before, there happened a of Q and T*in the op
poste Degree of <?. Befides thefe dangerous Tranfits,there was then ope
rating the Mid-heaven to the d3of 5 and the Afcendent to the Body o f 1
with Latitude, by Direiion ; and the Sun and Ti both policed in fiery Signes.
a. In the year 163 3. he was in great danger of Stabbing ; and then he
had the Afcendent directed to the Body of Tz without Latitude : 1* then paffed over his Radical Afcendent, <$ having led the way a little before.
3. In the year 1649. beino then aged 44 years, this illuftrious Perfon was
invaded byVery fharpand qefperate Fever,& c. which had nearly ended his
Life ; and beo'ifd all hope, had, but that the benevolent Planet i was then
ufpti the Afcendent,in * t o one of the Directions that then happened : The
Directions
A Collection o f clivers choice Nativities.

Diredlions were the 2 co the of d1, and the Mid-heaven to his cP.
4. In the year itff^.and 51 year o f his Age, the War happened between
him and Oliver Cromxvel,xhzn Pronedtor of England, about the Indies: there
was then in force the Sun ad Ocular Tanri, to the Bulls Eye, a violent fixed
Star , byDiredtion; and 0 adOppofttam Solis, to the Suns P from violent
Signes : very aptly andrrudy fignifying that (to England ) molt unhappy
Quarreljl fo term it,becaufe his Majelly o(Spain is,by the Heavens,ordained
a Friend, and not a Foe, to England. Hath he not the Sun in Y > Er.glands
Horofccpe ? Is not his Afcendent and his 2, and , all in & co y ? This
Nationmay be happy in his Friendihip, but cannot gain any thing by being
at Enmity with him. And I fliould think,that although Qromrvel and he could
not agree, becaufe the Sun in his Geniture, was in the place of <$in this Na
tivity and S in this, was in the place of the Sun in his Radix, & c. yet Eng
land and this great King may naturally and friendly unite, for the beforementioned Reafons.
%. In the year 1659. this King made Peace with France , andfuddenly
after married his Daughter to the King of France : the Afcendent was then
dire&ed co the of ? , Lord of the Severn h in this Nativity , and the 2 was
then directed ad Sextilam Solis. I need not verifie this Regal Geniture fur
ther, for thefe feveral Tedimonies are fufficienc.
This Princely Native within Iefs then two years hath the Afcendent dire&ed ad Corpus Jovis; and within lefs then tour years , the 2 diredted ad
Sextilam proprium, and AFedittm Cxli ad Trinum Veneris: Before which
time , he will ( in all probability ) regain much of whac he formerly lo ll;
and be in a moil profperous and flourifhing EUate. The 62 year of his Age
will be dangerous in refpedt of Health; for then the Afcendent will be diredted ad Qaartilnm Martis.

This Mifchief was violent, and lafled not long: for fuddenly after, the

3. Being aged 20 years, viz 1 6<j8. in May and jane, this eminent Prince
was accofted by a violent Fever, & c. the Afcendent was then diredledto
Cor Scorpion#, a violent fixed Star, with Latitude; d then (by Tranfit) was
upon the Radical place of the D; and there was a very ill Revolutional Fi
gure that year.
4. When this great Prince was 21 years old , he was married to the In

Upon the Influence of the firft of thefe, the Match was propounded ;
and upon the Operation of thefecond,it was confirmed; and the King wenr.
in perfonto fetch his Queen from the Frontiers o f Spain, where his Maje
lly of Spain was perfonally prefent.
This prefent year 1 66 o. toward the later end thereof, this Princely Na
tive was fickly ; I conceive it occafioned chiefly from theeffe&sof that
great Solar Eclipfe, November the 4. 1659. near the Afcendent of his
Nativity. It is very probable that Ti being Stationary in 1661. near or up
on the fame Degree may more unhappily difeompofe him ; chiefly , by
reafon of the ill Revolution this year affords: For T* is in exaft in the Fifth , lately feparated from his in 6 of Cor
Leonis , and in Cl to the Afcendent. The Figure is nearly oppolite to that
o f the Radix; and the Lord of the Afcendent, and Eighth of the Radix, are
in d in the Sixth o f the Figure. From dangerous Surfeits , the Stone, and
Treachery, let this great Prince pray to be delivered this Year, and then he
may be moft healthful, & c . until the Afcendent comes to the Body o f & ;
which wilihappen in the one and fortieth year of his Age.

JBut that which is ftrange herein,is,that he being a King,fhould be expulfed
his Kingdom, and fubject to Exile for the fpace o f ten years; and afterwards
to be detained in Prifonnot lefs then twenty fix years more. But this is no
Orange Marvel at all neither, if his Nativity be auely fcanned and confidered : for here we finde thv , Lord o f the Afcendent , pofited in the twelfth
Houfe,the Angle of Imprifohment, drc. there in <4 of c?,Lord of the Tenth.
Nay, although lj. be a Fortune, yet he being Lord o f the Eighth, and pofi
ted in the Afcendent, is no fingular good Pofition. The in O of 5, Lord
o f the Eleventh and Third Houfes, denoted the Inflability and Negligence
of his Friends and Relations.
Lord of the Seventh, being fironger then
the , Lord of the Afcendent > and in to him from Cardinal Signes, is
an Argument of his being at the Mercy of His Enemies. A t what time he
was expulfed his Kingdom, the D was directed ad Quartilum Martis* Lord of
the Tenth, he being then agedfomewhat above 4a years.:

Ac the time he expired , he had no Direction fave the aMedjam Cceli,

and the Moon to Cauda Draconis , and to feveral Scars of Hercules , they
being o f the Nature of Saturn. Nor was the Revolution for that
year ccmflderahly dangerous, as here following may be feen : there mult
therefore be fome fecrec Operacin more then ordinary in Saturns dou

cept we allow that double Return of Saturn to be more dangerous then
ordinary. Uniefs that great and terrible Eclipfe o f the Sun , ( as Leovitius calls it) which happened a little before this Revolution began, viz,.
on id p ril rhe 1 pch , fhould fpend part o f its EfFetts upon the Life of this
Princely Native , ic happenning exattly upon the oppofice point of the

the ferious Student, as a Matter inoft worthy his fertous Confideration and Patns. I fhall ( perhaps ) more fully have ftudied it , before

His is the
Nativity of
that ' re
nowned Perfon
(the Miracle of his
Age ) the Duke o f
^/ilbemarle ; as I
had it communica
ted to ir.e by a very
good Friend: and I having an Opportunity to tranfmic it to Poflericy, with
the Genitures of divers other Worthless have adventured the Publication
thereof; as well for the Honour of the Engliih Nation , ( who in this one
Example of true Valour* Honour and good Policie* may vie with the whole
World ) as for the fignal Merits and Defercs of the Noble Duke himfelf s
whofe Princely and utiparalleld Adventures* cannot be tooferioufly or of
ten acknowledged by any Engliih Man.
T o prove this the true Radix o f this Princely N ative, let it be remetnbred, that in the twentieth year o f his Age * ( as I am informed) he had the
Small Pox: be had chen the Afcendent directed ad JUgartilum Saturni ; and
this in v the greateii Dignities of &.
Being aged 21 years * he was preferred to fome Martial Employment in
the Low-Countries and increafedin Honour* & c. the Moon was then diredbed ad Ocular Tauri.
Being aged 31 years * he was created Captain of Horfe: he had then to
ftgnific the fame, in his Nativity, the Afcendent dire&ed to the A o f $ ; and
this in 'ZS. * her chief Dignity.
Being aged 32 years* he was honoured with the Command of a C olonel;
and to fignifie chat > he had theeMedium C&li dire&ed ad <$ j and this
in ? his Exaltation : an eminent Argument of that Honours encreafing.
Being aged 35 years * he was ( unhappily ) taken Prifoner: the Sun was
then directed ad Corfus Saturni * and the Moon ( neatly ) ad Quadrature
Marti* : the firft Dire&ion fell in the twelfth Houfe; and Tz>the Promittor
therein* was Lord of the 'Twelfth.
But above all * let it be remembred, that in the 52 year of his Age cur
rant * viz.. May 1660. he brought in his Glorious Majefty King Charles
the fecond, who had been twelve years kept out of his Kingdoms; and
brought the Confufions o f the three Nations, England, Scotland and Ireland
into a calm Condition of Peace and Tranquillity: He had then the Moon
directed ad * %. Origanus, fol. 7$ 1. faith, 7>ad&%, rntum dignitatibru
& honoribtts[ublirmbm augeti See. and % being Lord o f the Tenth in his N a
tivity, made that Action the more eminent and honourable: befides* to encreafe
A CoileSlign of divers choice Nativities.

creafe chefame5the 0 was at chat time alfo direited ad l rinum ; ovis. N ow
to fignifie the Oppofition and Struggling he met withjin that honourable Un
dertaking, he had the Afcendenc dire<fted ad Contramifdum Mer curd ; per
haps one Reafon why the City of London (in fome retpe<5ts ) feemd not facisfid with his Noble Adlions and Undertakings.
That this eminent Native was born for illulirious Undertakings, is plain;
he having the in the Tenth in a Noble fiery Signe, and thence in s ad
Lunamyin a Signe of the fame Triplicity. And to add to this, he hath If, ( Dominus Afcendentis ) in A o f 5 and $ in demo undedma. 6 in the Afcendent
in his Triplicity, gave him Courage and Valour ; being in * of Tj, that added
Reafon to his Refolution, and made him not onely Souldier, l ut Politician*
He hath the Moon placed in the very Degree o f the Suns Exaltation and
perhaps the Afcendent of England in general; which might apt and fic him
for greac and to-be-admired Deeds in his own Native Kingdom. I ihall fay
no more hereof, but conclude in the words o f the Epigrammatift:

is Hylech in his Nativity ) will be directed to the Quartile o f the Sun ; it
happening in his grand Clima&ericalyear may denote ic the more dange
rous and cruel: howbeit, the Revolution being not very bad 1 la m of opi

His Nativiry
I have ta
ken from
Cardati ; but he ha
ving ( among his
twelve Gcnicures )
treated largely thereof, I fhall be brief In my Obfervations on it.
The Geniture is not onely con fider ble"in that it wasio great a Perfons;
but in that the Perfon born under it ihould from a private Life rife to the
greateft Dignities and Government of the Church or Priefthood. My Au
thor fays he was well learned in the Greek Tongue and a Perfon molt Pru
dent and Difcreet, and well verfed in the Mathemacicks. A ll which are ad
mirably well difcovered by the exat Trine o f Mercury and Jupiter {tom An
gles and Aereal Signes : Nor doth the Quartiieof Mars and tjliercury other then adde unco his Parts 5 n ay, it makes them the more eminent
and excellent although at Come times it might note a per curbed Fancie and
Judgement.
It is always obferved,that Areal and Fiery Signes poffefling the Angles o f
a Nativity adds to the Fame of the Native according to his Condition be
it what it will. Mercury in the firft Houfe, in Trine of Jupiter Lord o f the
Tenth and Saturn ( Lord of the Afcendent ) in Sextile to both are Argu
ments o f great Honour Dignity and Renown : the Sun in Conjunction o f
Vemts In Sextile o f Mars and the Moon > the fame : all which are to be
found in this Nativity. But the kindeof Dignity is known from Jupiter
chiefly and partly Mercury An rhac they are here in Trine ; and Aftrologers
tell us when they have Signification o f Dignity & c . the Native rifeth
thereuntpby Learning, and by Ecclefiaflical means.
I am1ape to believe, that although the Planets places may be nearly true
in this Nativiry, the Figure it felf is not : for were it at the time o f this
NativesExpiration, he had the Afcendent directed ad & $, & It ; which
is an apparent Solaecifm in Aerologie. I do not deny but that a Perfon at
81 years of Age, may die without a killing Direction it being an Enneatical
year ; but then there muft be none to fupporc Life as thofe before menti
oned are.

Ope Paul the

Fifth , was
born at the
time within writ

titude of Rome : he
fucceeded in the Popedome Clement the Eighth, Whofe (Seniture we prefented you with before. Argolchinks the Comet that appeared in the Knee
of the Serpenc, anno 1504. was the Prodromus o f his great Honour. I have
elfewhere proved that Comets ( if they have any Signification at a ll) can
not portend Good , but Mifcbiefs to Men : See NiSfuzo Ace/heya, page 44.
and cannot therefore be of his Opinion. I acknowledge with A rgot, that
the Lord of the Tenth with a Kingly fixed Star , may be an Argument of
Grandeur and Greatnefs : foalfo is theftrengthof the Lord o f the Afcendenr, and his Trine to Mercury ; and Jupiters being in Sextile o f Mercury
and Luna > in the fame Afpe& with Mars 3 together with a Royal fixed Star
culminating. AI1 thefe (I fay) are Argumentsof acquiring great Dignify
and Renown ; and thefe are fuffkient, without being beholding to the un
known Effe&s o f Comets or new Sta rs.
Anno 162.1. on the 28th of January%he died : the Afcendent was then
dire&ed adCufpidem downs quarts & ad Amfcium Martis 5 and this with
out the Aififiance of any Dire&ion o f the fortunate Planets. The Revolu

The fixed Scars do raife Men even from

this was exadtly verified in the Original and Progrefs of this honoured Native.i ;/

; Another Argument of the Grandeur of this-worthy Native is Cardi

fo the moltyeminent Perfons (I mean now, where there

(hall Hnde (by obferving the Figure) that the Lord of the Twelfth is in the

grievous Treacheries and Deceipts* Sic. befides, the fiery Planet Mars is up
on the Cnip of the Twelfth, in Opposition to the Moon, and in Quartile to
her Difpoiitor. That he (lioulddie a violent Death, is obvious, becaufe <?,
Author Mortis^ is in a humane Signe, in Oppofition to the Moon j and the
Lady of the Horofcope is in Signo violenti, going to a Conjun&ion of an In

I ihall not in this place give you many Demonftrations o f the Truth of

N the Dia ry of

(written by his

the time o f his

Truths becaufe about the time o f his being imprifond in the Tower o f London , (b y reafonpfchac popular Fury tHatthen prevailedagainiithatl'acred

for te figmfie-hisDeath * which.was in the 8 a year of his Age* ferk ; he la
boured under rhe force of the Sun to the Quartile o f the Moon. Ocher Ac
cidents in general I finde fcattered among the Palfages o f his L ife; but the
time? of therr. being not therein fet down nor I in any probable way to ob
tain chcm 'ocherwife renders me the more incapable of confirming it by fur
ther Aftrologicai Obfervations* :
For tohgnifie this Reverend Divine fiiould be fubjei to Imprifonmenrs
there need no . other Teftimony then the Lord of rhe Afcendent in the

Tuefe feveral eminent Accidents 6exactly corrcfponding with the Dire

ctions they are compared withal , evince the Hours and Minutes within
written , to be the true time of this great Church-mans Birth. W e (ball
in the next place confides how it agrees with him in things of more general
Concernment.
The Author of his Life celleth us, that he was inclinable to A d s o f Mer- y
cy and Companion ; and among many , in page 6 3 . givcch us one incom
parable infiance, or proof thereof viz.. In the y e a r 1602. (faith he) be
ga n the g r e a t Blague at Y o r k ; at w hich tim e he ca rried b im felf with f o m uch
h eroica l Charity as will make the R eader wonder to hear it fo r the poorer f o r t
b ein g rem oved to the Peft-houfe* he m ade it bis frequent S x ercift to v t f t them
with Food both f o r their Bodies and Souls, H is c h ie f E rrand was to inf r u i t
and com fort them . - ^/[nd to make his Coming the m ore acceptable , h e
ca rried ufually a Sack. ofFroviJton with h im fo rtb o je that wanted it> Sec.- -
N o v to fignifie this worthy Inclination in him Afirologically we finde $
his chief Significator to be in Conjunction of $ , and in great Reception o f
It* ( the mod compafltonate and friendly Planets in the Heavens) who
with his benefique Rays, forrifies the Afcendenc o f this Nativity , although
he be fix Degrees from the fame.
H e was a Pcrfonof great acquired Parts > a (harp Student ; and gained
much Honour and Etfeem thereby : yea > fo much , that the Author of his
Life compireth him with Sr. Remigitts %of whom it wasfaid ~ Vt
primum difcipttnarum.capax fa ttm eft No modo vatu m ajor es , ingenii f e l i

citate* difeendiej-, ardore , f e d & morum m aturitate Jingulari ex es Unit: That
from the time o f his firft Capacity of Learning he out-ftripped even thofc
chat were his Superioursin Age, both in Excellency of Parts Proficiency in
Learning, and Maturity o f Moral Vercues.
In his Nativity to denote the fame we finde the Moon in Trine of $ and
SI 5 and although 5 be in F t f e e s he is befriended by both the Fortunes and
in no ill Configuration with any one Planet: therefore is his fingle Debi
lity o f being in X moft iuper-fuificiently fupplycd ; and accidentally bis
Pofidon is very good.
The Pleiades Culminating > and the Sun in his Exaltation in Trine o f
a fuperiour Planet and $ Lady o f the Tench in her Exaltation a!fo, are emi
nent Arguments of the Honour and great Preferments which this worthy
Perfon enjoyed.
' The Dragons Tayl in the Tenth occafioned thofe unworthy Scandals caft
upon him by divers o f which the Hifiory o f his Life maketh mention 5 and
was perhaps by being in 31 the Digniriesof $, a main Reafon o f the fevetal Contelis in print wherein he was in his Life-time engaged: yet never'thelefs, by reafon of the forememioned Arguments the Engagements he
underwent and the Prejudices of his Adverfaries towards him, turned Rill
to hts Honour and Advantage.
1:
Ohfc Paffage in his Life, 1(ball take the Opportunity to relate, it being o f
fo eminent Concernment to all 5 and therefore cannot be too often printed*
hor by rod matiy read : and it is indeeda Demonftration o f his great Parts,
and of the Pr ofundity of his Judgement; and (hews him to have been- a Perfdn focurioufiy ferutineus, that he would pierce the very infide of what he
once undercook. The Story is thus : The Son of one Edwardrperry neat
* fVoo/ver'ftampton in Stafferhire , ( commonly known by the Title o f The
Boy o/Bilion) being uncapable o f Learning, and therefore negligent o f go*4ng to School, ( yet apt enough it feemsfor Villany,. whichmadeDc*#/
^rVî when be came co metition him and his PraRices^ toiermhim>Litrle
* lefs then a D evil) was wrought upon by fome ' to counterfeit himfelf poffefTed with the D e vil; and was pcomifed a good Reward no doubt, for
A CbUe&ion o f d iv e rs choice N a tiv ities,

his Labour Winch Impotture, this Boy (it feems) had praciiied fo long,
chac he began to conceive himfelf to be poffeifed indeed; a.id accordingly
accufed anold Woman for bewitching him : which Counterfeit this Knave
managed to fab. illy that the Woman at the Affizes was condemned for to
die. This learned Bifoop hearing chereof.(ic being in his Diocefs,he being
then Bilhop of Lichfield and C oventry) and perfwaded in his own Thoughts
chat the Boy did but counterfeit (though Co ltrangely,as made it aimoit be*
< yond difcovery ) and again that if it Chould not be difcovered the poor
Woman mail loofe her Life ; he requdis o f the J udges chat then went the
Circuit that he might have the Boy home with himtftbi3 own Houfe;
< aifuring them chat he would ule his beft Endeavours to finde out the Impo lure before the next Alfizes: which he did but not without great Diffi cutty
as may be feen in a Book of that matter fet forth by Mr/Rjchttrd
Baddety this Reverend BiChops Secretary. The Boy would counretfeic
fo exaiily chac every Man ( learned or not fo ) would believe tint the
whole frame o f Nature was put of order with him: his Uiine>that was al ways black yet proved theheliDifcoverer o f the Cheat at h i t ; for there
being a hole made chrough rhe Wall that belonged to the Chamber where
this Boy lodged* he was found thereby rocolour his Urine with Ink, or other fuch-Uke Buff i in which he being firrt difcovered > the remainder of o ther his Impoftures, himfelf confelTed. And this learned Prelate, upon his
Contrition for it > bound him an Apprentice to a Shoe-maker in B ristol 5
from whence he went co London , and is till living ( as Doctor B, chinks )
in the Parifh of Sc. cJM*rtint in the Fields.
Thus we fee how eaile a matter ic is for Innocents to be robbd of their

Lives; and alfo how dangerous it is for Judges to permit the Mdice and
Wickedncfs of anEvidence, to heighten the Ignorance of a Jury, or indeed
their own Negligence or Credulity. *
Do not infert

contained any SLgnifications.of Death

general. 1 (hall in che next place compare fomc Diredtions in his Nativity,
with fome o f the particular Accidents of his Life ; from which it will follow,
that this Nativity is this Reverend Biihops true one.
t* Anno \6qo. being then aged twenty years, he commenced Mafter o f
Arts, ( a thing not commonly known in any Univerfity j and indeed, a great
Demonilrariorvof this pious Perfons Pregnancie in his yoriger years ) he had
then operating che to the o f %* and to che Mid-heaven alfo, which aptly
portended the fame.
2. Amo T 6 i i .b ein g aged 32 years , he proceeded Dr. of Divinity: he
had then operating the MediUtn Caeli ad Sextilum Luna* by Direction.
3. Anno\624. in che 44 year of his A g e, he wa$ created Arch' ifhop o f
Armagh* and Primate of Ireland but was not poffeffed thereof, until two
years afterwards; at which time he had the directed ad Sextilum jovis :
which DireiYion fell upon the Cufp o f the eleventh Houfe, in the Drgnicies
o fU * ergo* very lignificane to chat purpofe.
A little afeerhe was eleiied ArchbiChop , & c . he had a Sicknefs that con
tinued with him nine moneths together : which was faid to be a Quartan*
but I believe not truely * becaufe the Afcendenc then was directed ad <? ,
and ad xS which Dire&ions fell in and X : I rather adjudgeica
Confumption, & c .
. 4 . Anno 164a. he being then fixty years of A ge, viz* at the beginning
of the Miferies in Ireland-* he came to England. he had then the Medium

Martis. ... : v

i.
The learned Authorof his Life faith, That in his yoijnger years he was
fo pregnant in Learning, chat at 1 3 years of Age he was admiteed into Alagdalen CoHedge in the Univerfity of O x ford : Thac he fhould be of Pates lb
admirable in his Vouch, need nor aUonifh any thac ihali Afirologically view
this Figure: for $ , the Patron of Learning , is (imply the moib powerful
therein ; and the , Lord of the Afcendent, is in Conjun&ion with him e
and that which fo notably fharpned his Und^rfUnding , and gave Wing ro
his Ingenuity, anidtj&de himhonourd thereby, was & in his Aicendent, and
he Lord o f the tenth Houfe. ;A$vd that he Ihouldat fuch years (as the Author
o f his Life affirms) be fo feriousa Student, chat he generally fpent thirteen
hours of the Day at his Book, may be denoted by the Lord o f the Afcendents
being in Conjun6\ion with 2, in his greacefi Dignities, and this in a melan
choly and earthly Signe; the
Reception between and % doth not
inconfiderably add unto the fame. But as thefe are Radical Pofitions , lb
they are generally to be obferved, as well at one time o f the Natives Life, as
at another. But to fignifie chat particular Accident, I finde by Cakula: ion
that the M . C. about the 1 3 year of his Age, came (by Direction) to the& of
G and '5.
2. Aged 24 years, he encred into Holy Orders ; and at that rime he had
.the ^M edium Cali dire&ed ad Triwm Jovis , and Luna ad Sextilnm Jovis e which Directions are properly natural to caufe the Honour they pro
duced.
3. Being aged 34 years, he commenced Do&or of Divinity: the Afccndenc was then directed ad d Solis, & d
cum Latitudine.
4. Aged 39. made Canon of Chrift-Church in O x fordby the King, and

He was made Chaplain to the King at 42 years of A ge* and more
then ordinarily in favour with his then facred Majelly 5 as may appear by the
Kings Meifage to the Parliament, in EW* BasM/xn , wherein his Majelly is
pieafed to requett his Attendance on bis Perfon in the time of his great

Co?/i directed to Aide bar an, a Kingly fixed Star o f the firft Magnitude a and
to the Qvurcile o f the Sun alfo ; which in other things wanted not its Sig

this learned Perfon. Take however one or two more Tettimonies in. gene

culars*

In Page 59 o f his Life, we read, ' H is M em ory was fervicea b k t but

him to g e t one Sermon by H eart , then to Pen twenty .
This may juftly (in Aftrologie) be attributed to the Combnftion of $ 5 for
although he be the moft potent Planet in che Figure, yet his Combufiion

Thus much for this learned *Do&ors Nativity

noting him moft
apt andpropenfe to
Study. The Trine o f the Sun and $ to U from the tenth Home, gave him
cbe great Honour he enjoyed by Learning* and his skill in Languages and
Antiquity. He was indeed a general Scholar; no Science, either Liberal or
Mecbinick, but be was acquainted therewith.
He was bom at Amerfham in BttckJgham-bKire ; Of Parentage (in the
Eye of the W orld) but mean : yet he bemg ordained from his Nativicy.fot

dence, of his laying a Foundation to his future Honour and Preferment*
which he failed not co enjoy and partake o f , until the Iniquity o f the Tithes
prevailed fo highly among us, that Learning began to be neglefced.
When he was.26 years old,he publifhed bis Notes o n C i v il Law,

the Tyranny of our late Times, he was much molefted and difquieted 5 which
gave Opportunity to his ( too ) cruel Fate to ieize upon him; which never
deferred him till Death. But chat w ich made it the more malicious, was
the unhappy Q of the two Infortunas from Cardinal Signes.

considerably add unto the foregoing difmal Prefages. Thu* is a JuMiceiit

H being aged 20 years, he was fent to Cambridge j viz,, Anno 1^95, he

When he was aged 28 years, he married an Orphan in the Cicy o f Londom
formerly the Daughter o f an eminent Citizen and Mercer of London: he had
then the Sun direded adTrinum Jovis Lord of the feventh Houfe ; and ac
the fame time <35ad SextUttm Mercurii, Lord of the Afcendenc ; the Dire

the honeft Aftrologer for fuch.
His Figure is very
nearly the fame
with that o f the Nati

upon dangerous Dire

nearly fatal: but befides this, herein we
finde <3 returned to

And if we fhall follow the Do&rine of the learned Johannes Baptifta Mori/,and diredt the Sig

the Direction always

Rjjp. The Native may obtain Preferment in the 26 year of his Age ; and
it may be durable for then the Mid-heaven comes by Diredticn to the
Trine ot $ , and the Sun to the Conjunion of : both which fignifie admi
rable and durable Preferment.
Que li. 2. Whether ever like to marry ? and when ?
Refi $ being in a Prolificai Signe , near the Body of cf, and both in Sex
tile to 5 Lord of the Accendenti are eminent Tettimonies of the Natives In- '
clination to Marriage. The time when may be in his - ij year of Age : for
then he is under the force of the before-mentioned Dire&ton > and the Sun
at that time comes to the Sextile of 5 in n?3in the fifth Hoiafe of the Nativity.
But the Moon being about that time directed to a Quadrate of ft, falling in
the eleventh Houfe may denote fome kinde of unexpeed CroiTes to the
Native; and this from fome of his Elderly Friends, perhaps his Mother,

Tenth Houles and calls a friendly Sextile to the Alcendent. The.'Place the

by the Prefence of the Dragons Tayl in the Afcendent i but the other good
Configurations abate much of the Fury thereof : and for th latter viz,,
iharpand tedious Sicknefi'es, that is moli certainly true j for by one of them
I have corre&cd his Geniture: viz,.
Arm 1661. November y. be had, not onely a high and violent Fever
hue the Dropfie attended with the Scurvy > feized him at once ; of which
he was compelled to take his Bed and lay languifiiing under the fame until
November 1 7. on which Day he was given over for dead. On the Day he
was frit taken the Sun was upon the Radical place of T* and T* there in
Conjuntion of him j and dYLord of the Sixth nearly Stationary in Qiiartile to the Afcendent of Birth. In his Revolution that year, d was in Ghjundtion of the Sim and Vm the Afcendent thereof, all the year 5 th piace
o f the Dragons Tayl afeending, and the Dragons Tayl'in theSixtbof the Fi
gure : All which portended a lickly Y ear. Butbefides alltheVe Arguments,
the Afcendent Wasthen directed ad Saturni cum Latitudine y and zCo ad
D d : which moll aptly fignified thofe violent and tedious Difierr.pers he
then laboured under. From the time he was given over for dead, until to
ward May following w/z*. near fix monechs, he never went abroad. It is
my Opinion had not $ beheld d (one o f the Promit tors in this Evil ) by
friendly Trine, and the place of the Direction by aSmi-SextiIit had been
impoflible for him to have recovered. The Applications of his Phyfithns
(as I have heard him fay) were rather prejudicial and tormenting then any
way affiftaiit to- him : Nature at the laft turnd the beif Phyfitian ; and by
Vertue of his next-years good Revolution, and the Abatement o f the Force
and Fury of the ill Directions, this Native unexpectedly recovered, to the
Amazement and Wonder of his Doctors, the Joy and Comfort of his Rela
tions and Friends : is now ( by G o ps Mercy ) alive and may live until a
very confider ble Age.
Thus much for this Nativity.

Loyalcy and good Affe&ion ) he furtained, and feeing no probable Hopes
(in thofe times) of amendment, he fell into a deep Melancholy > which held
him near feven years, viz, until January 16^4. at which time be died there

parts thereof; chiefly in Aftrologie and Aflronomy ; in which Sciences it
was my good Fortune to have and receive Instructions from him : and no
other Tutor had I ever $ nor indeed needed 1 any , he being the ableli and

predi& ic) chat England will fcarcely ( in many Ages) produce his Equal;
and yet I am confident that this Nation hath brought forth as many excel

The Reafons of his Excellence in thel'e Arts is* ( i.) The great Fortitude o f

Âlthough his Skill was great, and his Rationative Faculty very Strong, yet
his Elocution was but mean ; which made many to fet the lower ESteem and
Value upon his great Acquirements : this 1 conceive may be occafioned by
the Platique of Ti to $ , and S) her being in to one and <P to the
other.
The Lord of the Second ftrong and the Sun in Trine to the Second, to

competent Ellate of Annual R e n t, near 100/. befides great Gains by his
Practice: Y et thePofitionof T2 upon the fecond Houfe, in Opposition to
the Part of Fortune in the Eighth , deftroyed all again ; So that ic was this

Strength 3 viz. his beingin Exaltation , and in Trine and. Reception of the

2. Being aged 20 years , he was married : the 2) (who in this Nativity is
Lady or Governelsof the Medium Coeli) was then directed ad A $.
3. Being near 30 years of Age , this Native commenced DoCtor of Phyfick : he had then the Sun dire&ed ad 1^, and exalted in the Tenth and
Radically in A thereunto.
4. Amo 1 6%8. he was troubled with a Rheum in his right Eye , in the
moneths of June and July :
was then upon the Quadrate place o f the Sun
in his Nativity, and upon the Radical place of the Moon : 12 was at the fame
time Stationary in his Afcendent : all dangerous Traniits.
The Nativity is partly the fame with Sir Theodore M ajern's; and ( not
wit hiianding fo grand a SateHitturn of the Planets in the eighth Houfe ) it is
no inconfiderable one for a Phyfitian : for the fortunate Planet If. is in Sex
tile^ unto four of them there and they refpeCt the Mid-heaven with the
fame friendly Afpeft. All which argue not onely Fortune > but Honour un
to the Native in and by his Pra&ice ; and molt eminent Advantage from
things figtiified by the eighth Houfe,- - whether it be by the Lands or
Goods of Perfons deceafed j or by Legacies , Deeds, W ills, Adminiftrationsj or Portion of the Wife, or by a ll: his good Dire&ions mult acquaint
him , and point ouc the time or times thereof. The Dignities of both the
Fortunes , and their friendly AfpeCt toeach other in the defeending part o f
Heaven , ( were there no fuch Knot or Conjun&ion of Planets) mutt have
fome more then ordinary Significations toward the middle or third part of the

having done the fame in one or two Books already by him publifheJ ; viz*
in The Harmony of the World* and The Holy Guide, In wbicniaid Books, he
hath been to plain with bimfelf* ( as belt knowing his own natural Inclinsti*
ons and Difpofitions) that fince Cardan's time > 1 have read and heard of but
few Men 10 ingenuous.
That he fhould be apt to enquire afcer many carious Arts * and occult
JMylieries* and make them his quondam Studies * is plainly ieen by rhe great
ftrength of 5 Lord of his Afcendent* viz., his being not onely in VZ' his own
Houfe, but in the fourth,Houfe* and in the Degrees thereof, which Alirologers hold (and that truely) to be his Exaltation ; and this in the Imnm f'aii%
and the Moon is in m, in exat Sextile unto him* and holding the lame Aipeit
with U> who.is in Parrile Trine of the Sun.
Now the Reafon why I bring his Geniture among thofe of the Doflors
and Students in PhyJlck, is* in regard he hath writ feveral things of Phyfick j
,a> in his Holy Guide* the way to prepare moft Chymical Medicines * naming
them;particularly; and then a Treatife o f <J{o(jc-Crucian Phyjick^* printed
foir.e years fince: and in feveral other his Books ipmeihing or other tending

the chief Significators, viz.. 3 his difpofing of $ , and Dher difpoling of d1

heir Oppolition are very much abated. Howbe'ic,(? as pofiied in the fern hi

Experience) to ftthjeft the Native many timet to Hazards andgreat Dangers%
together vmth an eclipfe of Honour and Efiimation . all which this Native hath
confefled to me co be trne. And to add hereunto, here is the Moon in Oppofition of T?, and both in Q u c i !e o f U ,* which in many refpets prejudice
the Native in the courfe o f his Life , and will not permit him (fed cum dlfficultate J to mount high in the W o Id. Neverthelefs , theie Arguments of
Unhatpinefs operate nocmnnerof way upon the Noble part of him, al
though they do upon ins publick Concerns, as E ibte, & c . For here are

policed in her Exalracion, ( though in the Eighth ) thence catting a Tiiiie to
who is Lady of the Afcendent. (4.) A fortunate Sextile between hi and
5 , being policed in the third Houfe. All which are proper Arguments o f
Ingenuity , and a ni nble active Fancie ; both of which, this Native hath a
very good title unco.
I could have he e prefen ted unto the Reader feveral Accidents of this Na

This Native huh been a Student in Allrologie, and in Phyfick 3, and is at the
preleiit a Member o f cue Inner-Temple, and a Student in the Laws. For to
denote him inclineable to Sciences, he hath in his Nativity a Sextile of &
and and a Trine of if, and $ $ being inexadt Sextile to the Afcendenr,
and $ (who is Lady of the Ninth) in the fame Afpe& with T*-. Lord thereof;
as alio an admirable Recept'on between & and 5. Greater and more nume
rous Teftimonies o f a iharpFancie, and an a&'ive Underilanding, *re hardly
among an hundred Nativities to be found: and had this Native had -ut Edu
cation, fuitable to his Inclination, (for you muft know, he hath been his own
Guardian and Appointerin the feveral Studies he hath followed ) he might
have proved an abiolure Encycloy&dian. But this is an umStJH in Reafon

malignant Square between the Lords of the Afcendenr and the tenth Houfe,
and this nearly from the Eighth and Twelfth Houfes of the Scheme j and
the Moon is in Quartile of the Sun and S aifo, and the very Degree of the

Thefe latter Configurations did not onely hinder this Native in his Edu

but in his riper years bath occasioned much Prejudice many Scandals , and
Troubles in Law , and otherwife, to invade him: the Particulars of which,

And the Perfonof this Native was exadlly fuch. He was alio full of Agility
very adlive and nimble : which I prefume was occafioned by the Moons P o
rtion in the Houfe o f 2 in Sextile to & , and "k in the Houie o f $ having
South-Latitude.
His Temperature according to Aflrologers, ihould be .Melancholy, Cholerick, as is plain by an earthy Signe afcending and V s Poikion in an earthy
Signe alfo and the Moon l eing among Martial fixed Stars and Stars of the
fame nature in the Afcendenc are very ftrong Teflimonies of Choler prevai
ling over this Native. But the greaceft Argument of Choler predominating,
I take to be the Suns Reception with d* from violent Signes ; which feems
to fignifie that Choler ihould over-power the Humour of Melancholy > not
withstanding an earthy Signe afcending,&c
He was indeed of fucha Temperature : I remembred to have heard him
confefs that Melancholy was an extraordinary Enemy unto him ; fo great
at fometimes, that wanting Company he would feem like a dead Man : and
at other times would his Choler macerate him very ilrangely ; yea, more oft
then the Diftemper o f Melancholy.

gued the Native to be of an excellent W it, fliarp Fancie, admirable Concep
tion and of an alive Underlla nding.
For proof of this, let his many worthy Works now extant, befummond
to give in Evidence: viz,, (1.) His Tranilation of the Difpenfatory , fo
exquifitely done , that the bell Phyfician need not be aihamed to own it,
(a.) His SKgUtyrphyjititit} : a Work of fuch rarity, that never any Herbarilt
before him durll adventure to do. ( 3*) His Aftrologtcal Judgement of );feafes from Avenezra and Durret : in which he hath fo ingenioufly fol
lowed the Text of his Authors that if any Copies may be prefumed

He was very eloquent ; a good Orator fpoke both freely and fluently.
And if I fhall fpeak the Truth in all parts, he was very conceited and full o f

o f Honour and Preferment then he did ; but he was an Fnemy to his own

very much in his Reputation, and his Honour and Fame were generally taken

his Honour by Arts and Sciences, but chiefly by Phyfick ; in the knowledge

The fiery Planet 3 in the eighth Houfe, in Quartile to
Lord of the Af- trim death
cendene, and three Planets more, feems to portend a violent D.âth : b u t^ w .^ ^
the Sun being upon the Cufp o f the Mid-heaven, near the Body of
and in
Reception with 3 and the Moon in the Sixth , in Sextile to him alio , takes
off the edge of that fufpiiion , and abates much of the Fury of 3 , and feems
rather to portend the Native to die of a Confumption , or by a decay of na
tural Strength at the Heart . (<? is in [,.)
I have heard it credibly reported by iome that were with him at the time
o f his Death , and conffantly in his Sicknefs that he died o f a Confumpiion
which had been long upon him; and much Means (and that of the better
fort) was ufedto enervate i t , but it flill prevailed upon him waiting and
confuming him by degrees, until it reduced him to a very Skelecon, or Anato
my j and afterwards, viz,, on t_ffiunday the tench o f January 1 6%\. releafed
him, and gave him his Pafport to a better World : The Moon then being
in Quartile to the Radical place of 3 , and the Sun in Quartile to his own*,
and to the place of Ti in his Nativity ; Tj and If, being then in a direct Op*
poficion.

Zeal to the Caufe) eledked Lieutenant-General to the Earl of cjpiancheiter :
he how began to be a Rebel in goodearneft: the Moon was then directed ad

In the year 1648. he contends with the Parliament and contefted
with the Levellers; by which means he underwent much difgrace: he alfo
now laid the Plot for the Murcher o f the King. An eminent Lady hearing
o f which (as Ihave been credibly informed) went unto him and defired
him to forbear fo vile an ACkion, for the Judgements fake it might bring upon
the Kingdom if not for the Per jury himfelf might be guilty of, and the whole
Parliament alfo : unco whom he angerly, and like a Tyrant replyd ^Ma
dam ! forbear to move me in this matter ; for by the Life of GOD he mu die>
and the world cannot fave him. He had now the Sun direcked to the Quartile
o f Ti and his Parc o f Fortune to the Oppofition o f 5.
7.
In the year 1649. having done his Villany in England and hearing o f
fome Matters that might prove Impediments tohimandhisdefiredSovetaigntyin Ireland, he in hafte marches over thitherto allay the Fury of what

fro m his general then particular Fate : yet he was lick in Ireland of a Flux
and Fever ; the Moon being diteded ad Quartilum propriam and Goncrantifcion of it.

In the years ie><jo. and i6 $ u having been glutted with Succefs in Eng

they promife Honour Dignity and Renown* they generally perform it in the
latter part of a M ns Life.
5. The Lord of the Eleventh ftronger then the Lord o f the Seventh, the
Native overcomes his greatell Enemies : here it was fo. This was verified
alio in the King o f Denmark,js Nativity. See T^ttnc'iHs Aftrologlcm,
6. The Returns of the fuperiour Planets to their Radical Places in any
Revolution, portends a fatal year to the Native. If an ill DiredUon con
cur, it is unavoidable ; unlefsby Prayers and Tears prevented.
7. The Lord o f the Afcendenc and Lord o f the Eighth of the Radix in
Conjundtion, is dangerous, although the Lord of the Eighth be a good Pla
net : for every Planet performs his Office according to his Relacion , and
the Power he hath in tne Figure. Thus
and $ may be Infortunes per

'T'His is the Na
tivity of Rl~
chard Cromwel a
Perfon who had
the Impudence to
pretend a Right to
the Government:
of England , Scot
land and Ireland,
upon no orher
fcore but becaufe
Goodivitii Owen and
N y e, ( Oliver's
Creatures) fwore
it was his Fathers
W ill upon his
Death-bed,that he
ilmuld fucceed in
the Government.
Ic is very probable
the old Gentleman might he prodigal enough , ro give that away which was
none o f his own ; and thefe Men might fwear the fame cruely : buc yec methinks Richard might have coniidered what had been his Fathers Right to
have given him ; for he could not but know, that his Father was never born
to the Crown of England ; nor himfelf neither , which in fome fort was the
better and more deierving Gentleman.
But now to the Figure Aftrologically. To be plain, ic is one o f the
meaneft and pooreii Nacivicies that ever I yet faw or beheld ( and I have
feen five thoufand) for a Perfon that was a Governour or chief Magillrate over three Nations efpecially. For here is not one Planeteficntially dignifi
ed in the whole Figure ; fcarcely one of them truelyîn his own Terms
Which is the very meanelf of EfTential Dignities. And if the Fortifications
of the Planets promile Happinefs, their Debilities mull neceflarily {hew ill
fuccefs.
But then divers will be apr toobje&i- - 1- i f hie Nativity be fo bad , how
came he tofo great a Fortune ? I anfwer: ------- What he enjoyed was rather
a Mil-fortune then a Fortune; for he was buc a Pageant or Stalking- horfe to
the Pride of others, and onely ferved their Ends and Aims, as a Protedlor o f
Clours might have done. Hovvbeit, in a qualified fenfe , I allow his titular
Honour was very great yea, fo great, that you fee it quickly funk the Ship
o f his waning Fortunes : but I deny chat this titular Honour was an Effedt
of his own Nativity, but of his Fathers. As Maximtliantts Stampa accained
all his Honours , Dignities and Preferments by the Grace and Favour o f
Sforz,a i Duke of t_fl/illain, he taking a more then ordinary Affedlion unto
him : fo this Native came to be veiled with the Government, and the Ho
nour of i'upreme Magiftrate of thefe Nations, not by any particular Configu
ration , Pofitionor Afpedtinhis own Nativity, but onely as he was the Son
and Favorite of Oliver his Father; who did what he could to leave him a
friendly Legacie. ^ Indeed he happened to have about that time fome good
Dire&ions operating, and that hope to make amends for his ill Radical Poficions.
Now* that you may know this to be the true Nativity of this Perfon, cake

When Rjchard Cromwel was 31 years o f'A g e , viz,, in 1657. being
then a Hunting, he had the Mif-fortune to break his Thigh by a Fall from

Orig.
3. In the 32 year of his Age, v iz. in September id <8. after the Death of
old Oliver his Father, he was proclaimed (in his ilead) ProceCioL of England,
Scotland and Ireland , & c . and had many Addrefies from all parts prefenced
unto him in a Congratulatory way , ( as it was then fycophantickly worded)
all promifing to live and die with him, they acknowledging him to be the un
doubted Heir to Er.glands Crown. And to add to thefe Ignss fatal ouc
comes a quacking Ailrologer in his Mays Obfervations 16 <59. (a t whac
time poor Richard was turnd out of all) and predicts like a fawning Parafire, That the Englifh Lord ProteBor norv enters upon the Stagehand wa
rdf t fes himfelf to the whole world , that he bath found Abilities to govern , and
found Judgement to dlftingulfh both fecret Enemies, and fneaklng Friends : he is
abundantly courted from feveralparte c/Chriilendome, & c . Richard
Lord ProteSlor of F in la n d ft oops not is not terrified with wordsprovides for all
r.ccdfons. And cowards t he months end,---r Is made happy with welcome

News ike. And in his general Predi6Uon of Lyes, he writes, Let no
mans heart fa il; the Sun feems to us toJbine as well on theprefent Lord ProteSlar
hisABions as on his dcceafed F a t h e r s Thus did divers parafitical
Wretches chant forth their Fi&ions and lying Elogiums to this their new
Saint Richard -* all Fun&ions and Arts, & c. were made Hackney-Heraulds
to proclaim ( what the Heavens were totally again!! ) the Continuation,of
this Pageant of Regality. Upon which I remember a learned Englifh Artilt
thus Poetically writes:
Opt*:
WfmujR'

Such fugred Pbrafe, fueh fmooth Obftquiotifntfs :
That vowd to live and die with Richard, yet
Neer bieruifht , when they faw his Glory fet ?
Such Hypocrites run with theftrearn of things
And will keep Time whatever dance begins.
Ac this time %lchard Crowwel had no Direftion but the Part of Fortuny
ad Trinum Veneris, and the jytedlum Cali adTrinum Solis in Gemini Lon
don's Alcendent, (not fully over ;) which in divers refpe&s were good, but
I deny that they were of force tomake him fo noted a Speflacle : and indeed,
had

had not iiis Happinefs ( if fo it may be cermed ) in that Action been depen
dant upon his Fathers Face , nothing in his Nativicy (as I laid before) could
ever have brought luch a thing to pafs.

His is the
Nativity of
a Gentle
man , whole Fate
hath been ( conlidering his Capa
city) as prodigious
and remarkable, as
ever any Mans i s , "
or was, or indeed is like to be. For he hath been employed in the great Bufinefs o f Drayning in ffampjhtre, and the Ifle o f wight: in which as he hath
had more then ordinary good Succefs, fo he hath had more then common
unhappy Fortune. He hath alfo had to do with the great Affairs o f two eminent Kings of Europe , viz., thofe o f Denmark, and Sweden and in the
thirty fixth year of his Age compleac, and thirty feventh currant, had a Cornmillion as Colonel to raife a Regiment; and he did f o : the eJMeditsm Cceli
Was then direfted ad 0 , and the Alcendenr adSextilarSatttmi. Butin
this Undertaking he was alfo unfortunate j and by Treachery had his Regi
ment taken from him, when he had been at the Pains, Care and Charge to
tranfporc chetn: the Sun at the fame time was alfo dire&ed ad Saturni ,
earn & fine Latitudine .* which Dtiedlion beingof more mifchievous tendencie then ordinary, did not end its Effe&s here but a little after he came
over into England again, was engaged into a Law-Controverfie for 200 /. o f
his own money which he had made over to a Perfon in truft; which faidPerfon for his defence, pretended a Bond of a thoufand pounds which was for
ged againll this Native for payment of ?oo /. to a third Perfon ; but after
a year or twos Goneeft , he call them all in Chancery, & c . and recovered
his monies: he had then directed ad Cor t, dr ifcendentem, and a good
Revolution to aift him.
. Now, if you would know, why a Perfon o f private Fortune ihould come
to fuch puMick Honour and Preferment 5 you muft take notice chat all the
Planets in the Scheme of his Nativity, are, noconely [afra terrains above
the Earth ; but in the Tenth and Eleventh Houles policed ; and the Moon,
Sfc and % eflfcntially dignified, and in good Afpet to each other. It is true,
Cauda Vraconis its Portion in the Tenth, doth ecfipfe the Honour and Eminencie the other Politions fo aptly denote ; and "fe in the Eleventh , makes
his Friends falfe-hearted, and his greaceft Hopes oftentimes to faile him.
And thus we fee a Harmony between the Effects o f Dire&ions, and the In
fluences of general Poficions.

King Carolus Gustavos o( Sweden and others, that their pubiickand prodigi

thofe are unhappy ones ; ws* D in T?, from fixed Signes: the 0 , who is

fit for any honourable Undertaking ; yet fuch hath been the ernehy and
force of its grim Effects towards him , that to all intents and pmpofes hi
therto, it hath prevented his l ifmg to any Preferment.
If any defireto know the reafon why Cromweland this Native ihould be
fuch prodigious Enemies to each other, ( for without queftion had it been in
this Natives potyef, he would not have favoured Cromwel, anymore, then
he befriended him); it proceeds from the Antipathy of their Genitures ; for
their Nativities are-dire&ly opposite to each other: <? in Cromwels oppofing
( nearly ) the Degree afeending in this, and T* in the Afcendenc of i t ; and

Origanus brings in this learned Natives Geniture as an Exampleof a vio

firft, and then compares ir with his Nativity thus : ^Domi*ius Herof copi it

ted* as well to the prejudice of the worthy Author as to Pofterity ; who
thereby might have been made happy with many choice P/efidents in the
pra&ick part of this Study: which now they moil unhappily are deprived of.
Divers Accidents there are by which this worthy Perfons Nativity was ve
rified ; but I (hall feledt onely two or three of them s viz..
Anno dtettis 44. he was afflicted with a Burning PeililentialFever: he had
then by Diredtion, the ad corpus Mortis.
Anno atatis 7 5. he died: the Afcendent ( which is Hylech in his Nati
vity ) was then diredted ad corpus Mortis* That he ihould be of great
years * is plainly feen from the Afcendent its being noway vitiated$ and Tj.
the Lord thereof * (who is Alchocodenj or Giver of years) is itrong in ea his
own greaceil Dignities.
He was neceflitaced to many Troubles and Unhappineffes in bis Life-time*
chiefly in our late rimes of Confufion j when for his Loyalty to his Soveraign 3 he was Plundered o f all he had and compelled to flee to Oxford for
Refuge: he had then ( it being che 64 year o f his A ge) the Medium Coeli
directed ad Quartilam Jovis and was not quite free from the fcffedts of the
Mid-heaven to the Body of fc. But the general Caufe thereof * was the
Sun in Quartile of Tj * and in Oppoikion of % one being Lord of the
Tenth the other of the Afcendent in his Nativity.

G* : J3orh the Luminaries you fee, are in Oppofition to the fcend'etft frorn SfVthe Dignities of S ; and that is the reafon
the Directions unto their Bodies or Afpeits, are the more violent.
At 11 years of Age, be was brought near Death by the fmall Worms : the
Afcendent was then directed Ad , fine Latitudine.
- Being aged z 1 yea rs^ he had both Surfeit^ Fever and Ague ; which, becaufe'pDireftion happens thn, muft be occafioned by the' Revolution' that
year , and the cruel Planet TVHis palling over the oppoiite places of the Lu- .
minaries in the Radix.
N this Resolution,
the Moon is in yp
her fall, in Quarcile to
her own, and the Suns
Radical place, andin
Quarcile o f T* who
afflicts the Afcendenc
in the Figure. The
Sun is in the fixth

both applying to an

more unhappy Revo

is alfo obfervable, that
Ti Was Stationary upon the oppoiite place of the Moon in the Radix, in June
following the Revolution ; and juft about that time of the year his Sicknefs
was the mod violent. T* had been upon his Afcendent, and the oppofite
places o f his Luminaries, mod part of-the latter part of the lad year* which
might give a minute or fmall beginning to his unhappy EffeCts ; but could
not ihew his Cruelty till this unfortunate Revolution began : Befides, Car

to have two feveral
Nativities. ( 1 .) In

be born the fifth or fixth o f ejMay 1602. ( a.) In his Introduion under

the rather becaufe my loving Friend Mr. James Blacked, hath proved it fo
to be by 1,3 feyeral Arguments or Accidents; printed a year and half fince
by it felf. In which little Tra6t the ingenious Artift may meet with a concife Method for the Calculating and judging a Nativity ; and unto which *. I

and when unfortunate

conclude, there is ho more interfering in the Influences of the Heavens and
Stars, then in their Motions \ but every thing is fo curioufly concatenated

he. papdoufiy and moft untruly called it tw o , and it will readily refulc, that
Death muft feize on fome one part thereof firft. But he criflingly demands,
Why jboftld one die by Diftafe , the other by Stinky? I will not urge againft

(and yet is, for they
are {till living) t

though one ihould

i He Direikions o f the
Luminaries
in thefe Nativities
as they happen in
both alike fo the Ef& & sineach Native
have followed. For
inftance: the Sun in
their 17 year of Age
Was dirz&edadOpfojttum Lu*i&\ they
were then both afflidked with violent
Fevers and many other UnhappineiTes
befel them equally ;
their Mother died
& c . In che 18 year
c f ti-eit Age, the Sun
was direiked to the Sextiles o f u arid $ ; they bad each of them then a very
condderable Forcntte left unco them by the death of an Uncle: they might
then alfo have married well, but the death o f their Parents was yet too freih
in their Memory, and their Sicknefsof Body not throughly removed.
But now, although the >ire&\ons of the Luminaries operate equally in
both Genicures yet thofe of che Afcendent and Medium Cedi do not: for
the fecond was much iickly and Aguilh in her firft year, as Tjs exadk Quartile to the Afcendent denotes: the dr It was not fickly till her fourth year*
at which time (he had an Ague ; then the Afcendent was direfted to the
Square of Ti>which ip could never be in the feconds Nativity while ihe lives.
Then the Medium Qefi in the Nativity of the fecond was diredked ad corpus
Jovte at twenty three years o f A ge; fhe was then eminently married: the
fame Dire&ioubappeneth not in the Nativity o f the firft Lady until the zS
year of her Age, ergo (he cannot be married until chen.
Thus we fee theReafon why two born near at a time , (although alike in
habtt of Body and Minde, in ihape and feature, &-cS) enjoy not exactly the
fame Accidentsof Fortune at one and the fame time * and why .alfo they do
enjoy fome Accidents equally, and alike, and others unequally , and four or
five years time dtftant. Had the Afcendent o f thefe Genicures been in 5*
y y & * the Accidents thereof might hve differed nine or ten years ; but
tfs being a Signe of long Afcencion, although the P'rhnum tJMobile run abouc
very fwife, it can differ no more in 191. of cime, visu the diftance between
thefe two Twin-Ladies Births, then four years, as I have before fufficiently
proved.
I (hall next inferc the Nativities of tw o , born (as I was informed by

their Parents ) juft half an hour diftant che one from the ocher:
the one is dead , the other yet living; and (by the Canons of A ftrologie) likely yet to live.

he died in the fourth year o f his Age* ( fuppoied bv Poyfoa) the Afcendent
was then directed to the Dragons Tayle , and the Sun adOppoJitum Saturn,
without Latitude. A Queflion maybe raifed by lome, Why this Native
Ihould expire upon the Sun to the Opposition of T* without Latitude * and
yet lurvive the cruel Effects o f their Oppofidon with Latitude ? I anfwec
to any that (hall fo demand, thus
- That the Sun in a ftri& fenfe was
pall the Oppolition with Latitude ; there could therefore be no Direction o f
that nature unlefs we admit o f converfe Direilion, which doth not confort
either with Reafon or Experience. (2.) That the Sun ad 3f z fine hatitudine, could not of it felt be powerful enough to kill ; but co-operating with
fo milchievous a Direction as that of the Afcendent ad Caudam Dracon , it
m ight: fo that per fe fuch a Dire&ion is fldome (I may lay, Never) found
