There happened a verification of an astrological judgment of mine in
this year, 1660, which, because it was predicted sixteen years before it
came to pass, and the year expressly nominated, I thought fit to
mention.
In page 111 of my _Prophetical Merlin_, upon three sextile Aspects of
Saturn and Jupiter, made in 1659 and 1660, I wrote thus--
'This their friendly salutation comforts us in England, every man now
possesses his own vineyard; our young youth grow up unto man's estate,
and our old men live their full years; our nobles and gentlemen root
again; our yeomanry, many years disconsolated, now take pleasure in
their husbandry. The merchant sends out ships, and hath prosperous
returns; the mechanick hath quick trading: here is almost a new world;
new laws, new Lords. Now my country of England shall shed no more tears,
but rejoice with, and in the many blessings God gives or affords her
annually.'
And in the same book, page 118, over-against the year 1660, you shall
find, A bonny Scot acts his part.
The long Parliament would give Charles the Second no other title than
King of Scots.
