and so rest from ouertroubling you with my unpolished lines. A Wonderfull _strange and miraculous, Astro-_ logicall Prognostication for this yeer of our Lord God. 1591. Discouering such wonders to _happen this yeere, as neuer chaunced_ since Noes floud. _Wherein if there be found one lye_, the Author will loose his credit for euer. By Adam Fouleweather, Student in Asse-tronomy. Imprinted at London by _Thomas_ Scarlet. (1591.) _To the Readers health._ SITTING Gentlemen vpon Douer cliffes, to quaint my selfe with the art of Navigation, and knowe the course of the Tides, as the Danske Crowes gather on the Sandes against a storme: so there appeared on the downs such a flock of knaues, that, by Astrological coniectures, I began to gather that this yeere would proue intemperate by an extreme heat in S[=o]mer, insomuch that the stones in Cheap side should be so hot, that diuers persons should feare to goe from Poules to the Counter in the Poultrye: whereupon I betook me to my Ephimerides, and erecting a figure, haue found such strange accidents to fall out this yeere, Mercury being Lord and predominate in the house of Fortune, that many fooles shall haue full cofers, and wise men walke vp and downe with empty pursses: that if Iupiter were not ioyned with him in a fauourable aspect, the Butchers / of East-cheape should doo little or nothing all Lent but make prickes: seeing therefore the wonders that are like to fall out this present yeere, I haue for the benefit of my Countrymen taken in hand to make this Prognostication, discoursing breefelye of the Eclipses both of Sunne and Moone, with their dangerous effectes like to followe, which if God preuent not, many poore men are like to fast on Sondaies for want of food, and such as haue no shooes to goe barefoot, if certaine deuout Coblers proue not the more curteous: but yet Astrologie is not so certaine but it may fayle: and therfore diuers Hostesses shall chaulke more this yeere then their Guests wil wipe out: So that I conclude, whatsoeuer is saide by art. _Sapiens dominabitur astris._ Your freend and Student in Asse-trologie. _Adam Fouleweather._ / _Of the Eclipses that shall happen this present yeere, to the great and fearfull terrifying of the beholders._
