Therefore the Author foreseeing this, saith, that the great Army of the _French_, which shall go over the Mountains, shall come to this mischief, because of the poison that was hidden in the Sheeps heads. The Vulgar impression erreth much in putting _Salmons_, for _Muttons_; for every body knoweth that the _Salmons_ do not come into the Mountains of _Montserrat_, and that in the Month of _August_ it is not a meat fit for Souldiers, therefore in stead of _Salmons_, we have put _Muttons_, or Sheep. _The Captain was hanged with a thread of Polemars_, that is, with a Match, of which, I am perswaded, that one certain _Polemars_ was the Inventor. The Author saith in the second Verse, that the time when this accident happened, was, when _Saturn_ was in _Aries_, the Vulgar impression putteth _Are_ in stead of _Aries_, but that’s false, therefore set down _Aries_. _Saturn_ was in that Sign in the year 1555. from the 20th of _February_, to the 14th of _July_, where from the 12th degree and four Minutes, he began to retrograde in the same Sign of _Aries_, till the 18th of _November_, so that _Saturn_ was almost all that year in _Aries_. He saith also that _Mars_ was going back to _Pisces_; because in that same year, _Mars_ that was gone out of the Sign of _Pisces_ from the 19 of _March_ 1554. was retrograding to come back again into it upon the 20th of _January_ 1556. Thus the Author meaneth, that this accident should happen in the year that _Saturn_ should be in _Aries_, and _Mars_ should be near the Sign of _Pisces_. And to say truth, in the Month of _August_, _Mars_ was in the Sign of _Scorpio_; upon the 23 of _September_, he entred into that of _Sagitarius_; the third of _November_, into that of _Capricornus_; the 12th of _December_ into that of _Aquarius_; and the year following, _viz._ 1556. into that of _Pisces_; so that _Mars_ was returning into _Pisces_, which is the end of its particular motion. By this Astrological and Historical discourse we correct the Vulgar impression, which putteth turning from _Pisces_, _Mars_, in stead of which, we put, turning to _Pisces_, _Mars_, which we do by changing only _from_, into _to_, and sheweth us how careful we ought to be in the explication of these Stanza’s, when the time is prefixed to us by Astronomical calculations. The Authors Phrase doth confirm us in this correction, when he useth this word _turning_, which signifieth the motion that tendeth towards its end, and not the motion that cometh from its end. XLIX.
