Nostradamus
Astrology -- Early works to 1800; Prophecies -- Early works to 1800
Almighty God; which Moon before she hath finished her Circuit, the Sun
shall come, and then _Saturn_, for according to the Cœlestial Signs,
the Reign of _Saturn_ shall come again, so that all being Calculated,
the World draws near to an Anaragonick revolution, and at this present
that I write this before 177. years, three Months, eleven Days, through
Pestilence, Famine, War, and for the most part Inundations, the World
between this and that prefixed time, before and after for several times
shall be so diminished, and the people shall be so few, that they shall
not find enough to Till the Ground, so that they shall remain fallow as
long as they have been Tilled; although we be in the seventh Millenary,
which ends all and brings us near the eighth, where the Firmament of the
eighth Sphere is, which in a _Latitudinary dimention_ is the place where
the great God shall make an end of the revolution, where the Cœlestial
Bodies shall begin to move again. By that Superiour motion that maketh
the Earth firm and stable, _non inclinabitur in seculum seculi_, unless
his will be accomplished, and not otherwise; although by ambiguous
opinions exceeding all natural reasons by _Mahometical_ Dreams, also
sometimes God the Creator by the Ministers of his Messengers of fire
and flame shows to our external senses, and chiefly to our eyes, the
causes of future Predictions, signifying the future Event, that he will
manifest to him that Prophecyeth for the Prophecy that is made by the
Internal Light, comes to judge of the thing, partly with and by the means
of External Light, for although the party which seemeth to have by the
eye of understanding, what it hath not by the Lœsion of its imaginative
sense, there is no reason why what he foretelleth should come by Divine
Inspiration, or by the means of an Angelical Spirit, inspired into the
Prophetick person, annointing him with vaticination, moving the fore part
of his fancy, by divers nocturnal apparitions, so that by Astronomical
administration, he Prophecyeth with a Divine certitude, joyned to the
Holy prediction of the future, having no other regard then to the
freedom of his mind. Come now my Son, and understand what I find by my
revolutions, which are agreeing with the Divine Inspiration, _viz._ that
the Swords draws near to us now, and the Plague and the War more horrid
then hath been seen in the Life of three Men before, as also by Famine,
which shall return often, for the Stars agree with the revolution, as
also he said _visitabo in virgâ ferreà iniquitates eorum & in verberibus
percutiam eos_, for the Mercies of God shall not be spread a while, my
Son, before most of my Prophecies shall come to pass; then oftentimes
shall happen sinister storms, (_Conteram ergo ~(said the Lord)~ &
confringam & non miserebor_) and a thousand other accidents that shall
happen by Waters and continual Rains, as I have more fully at large
declared in my other Prophecies, written in _solutâ oratione_, limiting
