Of
the
Crinitall
Starre
,
which
appeareth
this
October
and
Nouember
.
1580.
IT
seemeth
(
gentle
Reader
)
a
difficult
and
hard
matter
,
for
any
man
to
wryte
or
doo
any
thyng
that
shoulde
be
well
accepted
in
these
dayes
,
especially
,
when
the
opinion
of
men
is
growen
strange
and
diuers
,
accomptyng
ech
thyng
,
eyther
too
whyte
or
too
blacke
,
too
sweete
or
too
sowre
,
too
woorthie
or
too
vilde
:
Yet
at
this
tyme
,
not
respectyng
curious
opinions
,
neyther
regardyng
the
speach
of
the
Captious
,
so
muche
as
the
request
of
friendes
,
doo
set
foorth
this
my
iudgement
touchyng
this
Crinitall
Starre
,
shewyng
to
vs
the
greatnesse
of
Gods
goodnesse
,
by
such
a
forewarnyng
to
repentaunce
.
But
suche
is
the
corruption
and
hardnesse
of
this
Age
,
that
we
contemne
and
neglect
all
tokens
in
the
Heauens
,
by
respectyng
our
onely
securitie
,
for
the
tyme
present
.
And
yet
,
yf
euery
man
woulde
recken
the
course
of
his
lyfe
past
,
he
shoulde
see
in
hym selfe
great
cause
to
tremble
at
these
thynges
.
And
also
,
if
we
consider
what
great
rout
of
euylles
doth
beset
vs
,
and
way
how
many
hath
been
destroyed
,
or
what
hurtes
hath
been
by
Lyghtnynges
,
Earthquakes
,
Ground
openinges
,
Flooddes
,
tempestes
of
the
Sea
,
great
Windes
,
infectious
Ayre
,
Warres
,
Mortalities
,
Plagues
,
strange
Diseases
,
and
such
lyke
,
which
thynges
,
Commettes
doth
commonly
pronounce
to
ensue
:
I
suppose
that
the
remembraunce
of
such
dangers
,
woulde
make
vs
not
to
be
altogether
cardlesse
of
these
Tokens
,
threatnyng
to
vs
calamities
for
our
vnthankfulnesse
.
And
therefore
,
who
so
euer
doth
make
light
accompt
of
Earthquakes
and
gleming
Starres
,
and
is
not
mooued
at
the
syght
thereof
,
with
the
seare
of
Gods
displeasure
:
the
same
people
doth
also
as
lyghtly
,
and
as
lytle
regarde
their
owne
conscience
,
and
amendment
of
lyfe
.
Wherefore
it
is
tyme
that
we
ceasse
from
puffyng
vp
our selues
with
pryde
,
letcherie
,
and
enuie
,
and
to
cleaue
to
repentaunce
,
and
to
lay
holde
vpon
Dauids
Anker
,
which
is
the
multitude
of
Goddes
mercie
:
For
as
it
is
in
the
.xxxi.
Psalme
,
Mercie
wyll
muiron
them
which
trust
in
the
Lorde
.
Nowe
,
if
any
man
suppose
that
nothyng
can
be
rightly
gathered
by
Astronomie
of
Comettes
,
he
is
muche
deceiued
,
and
he
is
too
blynde
in
his
hart
,
that
thinke
it
signifie
nothyng
:
for
,
touching
the
last
tayled
Starre
,
which
appeared
.
1577.
agaynst
the
face
of
the
great
Planet
Saturne
toward
the
Southwest
,
it
is
euident
,
that
the
effect
of
his
signification
was
to
continue
three
yeeres
,
and
dyd
ende
but
a
lytle
before
Michaelmas
last
past
.
And
touchyng
the
fyrst
yeere
.
1578.
the
effect
was
seene
Southwarde
by
Warres
,
with
the
slaughter
of
Princes
.
And
in
the
seconde
yeere
.
1579.
it
brought
foorth
great
irruption
of
Waters
and
Floddes
.
And
in
the
thirde
yeere
.
1580.
the
effecte
of
that
Commet
was
dreadful
,
by
a
feareful
Earthquake
,
the
syxt
of
Apryll
,
betweene
fiue
and
syxe
at
nyght
:
And
with
Warres
against
the
Portyngales
by
the
Spaniardes
:
vnto
whom
that
Commet
was
specially
appropriate
,
by
vertue
of
his
place
and
terme
in
whiche
it
stoode
:
And
also
with
a
new
kinde
of
strange
disease
,
as
it
were
a
Sommer
Rewme
he
hath
ended
his
effectes
.
And
immediatly
vpon
the
endyng
of
all
these
effectes
,
there
is
come
to
appearance
a
Crinitall
Starre
,
farre
different
from
the
other
,
in
place
,
situation
,
and
cooloure
:
which
I
obserued
to
appeare
immediatly
after
the
new
Moone
,
the
.viii.
day
of
October
,
placed
betweene
the
.xii.
and
.xi.
house
of
the
Heauens
,
after
Sunne
settyng
,
the
Moone
fyrst
of
al
receiuing
the
shadowie
vmbration
of
this
Crinita
,
by
a
quartyle
radiation
from
Scorpio
.
Secondly
,
I
noted
the
Sunne
to
receiue
the
next
shadowe
by
strong
aspect
,
and
that
the
Sunne
aboue
all
other
Planettes
,
is
mostly
and
woorst
radiated
,
in
the
tyme
of
the
continuance
of
this
Crinita
,
fyrst
with
the
quartile
of
Saturne
,
secondly
with
the
opposition
of
Mars
:
Which
thyng
doth
signifie
,
in
that
the
Sunne
and
the
Moone
(
which
be
Animae
mundi
)
doth
especially
receiue
the
impression
of
his
euyll
aspect
,
that
the
Sympathy
of
his
influence
shall
be
greeuous
,
with
Plagues
,
and
infectious
Ayre
,
with
calamitie
among
the
people
,
and
with
captiuitie
and
euyl
to
some
persons
.
And
this
shall
be
to
the
Countreys
lying
within
the
eyght
and
nynth
clymate
.
Also
I
note
,
that
this
Crinita
is
fixed
agaynst
a
Starre
of
the
thyrde
Magnitude
,
neere
vpon
the
Dolphyn
,
of
the
nature
of
Saturne
and
Mars
,
and
is
of
a
Septentrionall
Latitude
from
the
Zodiacke
:
And
also
,
that
this
Crinita
is
fixed
vnder
the
Signe
called
Aquarius
,
beyng
an
Ayeryall
and
Westerne
Signe
,
there
placed
,
neere
vnto
that
ponderous
Planet
Saturne
,
possessing
his
owne
house
,
with
the
company
of
Caput
Draconis
,
whiche
portendeth
towarde
the
Northeast
,
and
Northwest
Countries
;
within
the
tyme
of
his
effect
,
great
corruption
and
infection
in
the
Ayre
,
great
harme
and
hynderaunce
by
ragyng
Windes
,
Waters
,
and
Flooddes
,
miserie
among
the
people
of
the
sayd
Countreys
,
Damnum
altis
hominibus
,
deceitfull
deuyses
,
and
great
terrour
to
some
,
with
captiuitie
.
Next
to
this
,
I
doo
obserue
the
coloure
of
this
Crinitall
Starre
,
to
be
wateryshe
,
darke
,
pale
,
and
Saturnine
,
which
is
the
very
coloure
of
death
:
whereby
it
signifieth
sadnesse
,
sorowe
,
Plagues
,
miserie
,
mortalities
,
feare
,
and
hunger
,
to
be
among
the
people
dwellyng
within
the
eyght
and
nynth
Clymate
.
And
all
this
for
our
vnthankfulnesse
,
vnlesse
we
repent
vs
of
our
sinnes
,
which
are
so
ryfe
among
vs
.
Farther
I
note
howe
that
the
tayle
of
this
Crinitall
Starre
,
is
extended
towarde
the
face
of
Mars
,
and
towarde
the
Northeast
partes
,
which
is
the
true
testimonie
of
Warres
,
bloodsheddyng
,
of
sodayne
irruption
of
Souldiers
,
of
Sicknesses
,
Plagues
,
Sweattes
,
blooddy
Flixe
,
and
heapyng
vp
of
sorowe
among
the
people
in
the
Northeast
and
West
Countreys
.
Finally
,
I
obserue
that
this
Crinitall
Starre
,
is
of
a
thyn
substaunce
,
&
that
it
shal
last
tyl
the
Sunne
hath
passed
vnder
the
end
of
Libra
,
Scorpio
&
Sagittarie
,
and
so
long
it
shall
be
apparently
seene
at
Sunne
settyng
,
in
the
tyme
of
his
continuance
,
to
be
in
the
xi
.
x
.
and
part
of
the
.ix.
house
,
and
that
it
is
in
the
.xi.
Signe
from
Aries
:
Which
doth
signifie
euyll
conspiracies
,
deceitfull
dealynges
,
and
muche
terrour
and
daunger
to
many
men
in
the
Northeast
and
West
Countreys
,
so
that
to
conclude
this
fyrst
part
,
the
full
signification
of
this
Crinita
,
is
to
continue
two
yeeres
and
three
quarters
:
And
therefore
let
vs
pray
,
that
GOD
may
diuert
and
turne
from
vs
the
daungers
,
which
it
signifieth
,
in
Plagues
,
warres
,
and
inundation
of
flooddes
,
windes
,
and
waters
.
And
thus
generally
of
his
place
,
coloure
,
and
signification
:
next
folowe
,
what
,
where
,
and
when
,
his
effect
shall
fall
.
The
seconde
part
,
touching
this
Crinitall
Starre
.
WHere
as
I
haue
shewed
generally
what
this
Crinital
Starre
signifieth
,
it
foloweth
in
this
seconde
treatise
,
to
declare
in
what
countryes
the
effectes
shal
be
,
and
at
what
tymes
.
For
seeyng
the
earth
is
diuided
into
foure
partes
,
Europe
,
Asia
,
Affrica
,
and
America
,
and
euery
one
of
these
comprehend
a
multitude
of
Countryes
,
and
euery
Countrye
is
subiect
to
diuers
perylles
of
the
heauens
,
and
doth
dyffer
in
clymates
,
and
in
the
obliquitie
of
the
Horizon
:
Then
it
must
needes
be
,
that
no
Comet
or
tayled
Starre
,
can
shewe
his
effect
generally
in
al
the
foure
diuisions
of
the
earth
,
but
properly
to
those
Countryes
ouer
which
it
is
placed
,
accordyng
to
clymatical
and
parellell
lynes
.
So
then
touchyng
this
Crinita
,
waying
his
ascention
,
&
his
Latitude
Northerly
from
the
Zodiacke
,
with
the
extractyng
of
his
euyll
shadowes
vpon
certayne
poyntes
of
the
heauens
,
with
his
place
and
terme
in
which
i●
stand
,
I
finde
by
Astronomical
diuision
,
that
the
effect
shall
not
reach
into
Africa
,
nor
to
the
middle
Seas
,
neyther
to
any
Countryes
specially
,
but
to
those
which
are
within
the
viii
.
and
.ix.
Clymate
,
and
properly
to
those
places
,
Cities
,
and
Townes
,
which
are
vnder
Aquary
,
Taurus
,
Leo
,
and
Scorpio
,
placed
in
the
foresayd
climates
.
Wherefore
to
come
to
proper
places
,
I
finde
that
the
effect
of
his
shadowes
shal
be
seene
in
those
places
which
be
neere
to
the
Ryuer
of
Rhene
,
and
Danubius
,
so
that
Germany
shal
feele
of
it
.
Also
the
force
and
euyll
shal
be
shewed
vpon
Flaunders
,
Hollande
,
Zealande
▪
and
Freeselande
,
and
no
lesse
vpon
Denmarke
,
Danske
,
Englande
,
Scotlande
,
and
Irelande
.
And
in
lyke
case
to
Pollonde
,
and
Belgica
in
Fraunce
and
Pycardy
.
Some
of
these
Countryes
feelyng
it
with
Plagues
,
mortalities
,
some
with
blooddie
warres
,
some
with
the
death
of
great
Peares
,
and
other
some
with
misery
by
great
Floodds
,
wyndes
,
and
ouerflowes
of
waters
:
of
which
,
other
countryes
Southward
,
&
East
,
as
Spayne
,
Barbarie
&
Italy
,
Turkie
,
Greece
,
and
all
which
dwell
out
of
the
eyght
and
.ix.
clymate
,
shal
be
free
,
in
respect
of
the
corruption
of
ayre
,
&
greeuous
harme
which
is
portended
by
weather
,
both
by
Lande
and
Sea
.
Next
,
whereas
I
note
that
the
effectes
of
this
Crinita
,
shall
appeare
two
yeeres
and
three
quarters
,
I
obserue
by
the
profectional
Athazer
,
and
other
circumstances
,
that
the
next
yeere
.
1581.
the
effectes
shal
be
as
folowe
.
First
touchyng
diseases
,
there
shall
raigne
Inflammations
,
Burnyng
Feuers
,
Plagues
,
Hart
burnynges
,
Blood
shotten
eyes
,
Blooddie
flyxe
,
Measles
,
Pockes
,
Pleurisies
,
heate
in
the
stomacke
,
fallyng
sicknes
,
Phrensies
,
and
the
stone
:
these
be
the
pryncipal
diseases
.
Also
the
partes
that
shall
be
mostly
touched
,
be
the
hart
,
chest
,
brayne
,
eyes
,
backe
,
bladder
:
but
it
geueth
the
signification
forcible
vpon
the
mynde
and
brayne
of
man
,
that
men
shall
be
geuen
to
be
peruerse
of
hart
,
and
that
madnesse
,
furiousnesse
,
phranticknes
,
sadnesse
,
melancholy
,
and
cholericke
disposition
shal
be
seene
greatly
to
abounde
in
men
of
the
foresaid
countreys
the
next
yeere
,
and
therefore
let
vs
pray
to
God
,
lest
for
our
wyckednesse
he
turneth
vs
to
a
reprobate
sense
.
Also
the
next
yeere
it
bryngeth
●amma
,
and
Michaelmas
,
shal
the
full
terror
appeare
in
some
of
the
foresayde
countryes
,
in
Plagues
,
Warres
,
Craftie
deuises
,
captiuities
to
some
estates
,
and
with
great
sadnesse
to
people
.
And
betweene
Simon
and
Iude
,
and
Hallowmas
weeke
,
shall
Hollande
,
Zealande
,
and
many
partes
of
Englande
,
be
greatly
indammaged
and
indangered
with
sodayne
stormes
,
and
flowes
of
great
waters
,
and
greeuous
weather
.
Nowe
touthyng
the
yeeres

and.
1583.
marke
what
two
euyl
yeeres
they
shal
be
for
wyndes
,
rayne
,
and
flooddes
,
and
inundations
,
in
the
foresayde
countryes
.
This
Crmita

August
.

1583.
Wherefore
seeing
this
tayled
Starre
,
by
his
pale
coloure
,
doth
signifie
great
losses
and
hinderaunce
to
the
Countreys
aforesayd
,
by
irruption
and
inundation
of
great
Flooddes
,
and
by
one
hard
Winter
the
next
yeere
.
1582.
and
two
wette
Sommers
,
to
the
great
indammagyng
of
many
places
of
the
foresayd
Countreys
,
and
to
the
hurt
of
the
Husbandeman
and
Merchaunt
,
wherevpon
myserie

dearth
,
penurie
,
and
calamitie
,
may
growe
to
some
of
the
foresayde
Countreyes
,
in
the
same
yeeres
:
For
that
cause
,
it
shall
be
necessary
for
vs
to
pray
to
GOD
,
that
he
may
stay
his
Plagues
and
Warres
the
next
yeere
,
and
to
geue
vs
more
moderate
yeeres
,
then
this
Crinita
signifie

1583.
For
the
speciall

Thus
thou
hast
(
Gentle
Reader
)
my
extraction
of
this
Crinital
Starre
,
with
