Of the AUTUMNAL QUARTER... THIS Quarter commences at the entrance of the Sun into Libra, when days and nights are once more upon an qual balance, and which will this year happen on the 22d day of September, at 42 min. after nine in the morning, at which time I find 28 deg. 41 min. of Gemini afcending, and 23 deg. of Aquarius to culminate. The Moon in the 12th, a cadent houfe, feparating from a Sextile with 9, and applying to a □ with the Sun, and a A with Saturn, who is at this time retrogade, and likewife with Mars, and all the cœleftial wanderers fub terra, excepting D and, which to fome parts of this terreftial globe is perhaps not very pro mifing, but to us I hope no ways hurtful.. But now to conclude. It was formerly obferved by à learned hiftorian of our nation, that prognoftications, or the foretelling of future events relating to kingdoms and ftates (from the confideration of the ftarry influences, and the configuration of thofe glorious cœleftial bodies) are like feeds fcattered in the vatt field of time; and if fo, it is no wonder if fome of them do appear, and be grown up to maturity and if this be the cafe, as I believe we may venture to fay it undoubtedly is, we may affirm with profound Paracelfus, that Afcendens conftellatum multa revelat quæren tibus magnalia natura, i. e. Many ftudious perfons fearching into the fecrets of nature, may by their good genius have myf teries revealed and difcovered to them. And feeing there is an appointed time for every thing under the fun, why fhould any one prefume to deny that the heavens are a large expanded volume, in which, by the ftudious fons of art ay be read many grand matations (as effects in the bofoms of their caufes, or events pre-notified by certain figns) long before they are brought into act here on earth; por let us think that all this mighty volume is open only to the inhabitan ofthis terreftrial globe, but even this orb of ours by its various configurations and afpects, with the other cœlef tial bodies, fhall reciprocally communicate in its tuin certain intelligences to the inhabitants of the other planetary worlds. To view the harmony of the creation in this light; thu to fee them dance their myftic round; thus to liften to the mufic of the fpheres, is true wifdom, and divine contemplation. And for the power of receiving these high enjoyments, to the great Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last, be afcribed honour and glory, dominion and power, in fæcula fæculorum. Amen.
