King Carolus Gustavos o( Sweden» and others, that their pubiickand prodigi
ous Ends were occaiioned thereby: and the Reafon why it fell not out fo with this Native, is this; He hath no Tcftimonies of a violent Death in his Nati
vity, and they had. ( He bath but cwo of Imjprifonment and Reft raint, buc thofe are unhappy ones ; ws* D in □ T?, from fixed Signes: the 0 , who is Lux temports, is pofited in the Twelfth.) Befides, it may be termed as mif- chievous unto him, as if it had the fame Effe& with him , as them : for not- vvitkftanding his being both Gentleman, Scholar and Souldier, and a Perfon fit for any honourable Undertaking ; yet fuch hath been the ernehy and force of its grim Effects towards him , that to all intents and pmpofes hi
therto, it hath prevented his l ifmg to any Preferment.
If any defireto know the reafon why Cromweland this Native ihould be fuch prodigious Enemies to each other, ( for without queftion had it been in this Natives potyef, he would not have favoured Cromwel, anymore, then he befriended him); it proceeds from the Antipathy of their Genitures ; for their Nativities are-dire&ly opposite to each other: <? in Cromwel’s oppofing ( nearly ) the Degree afeending in this, and T* in the Afcendenc of i t ; and S in this Nativity, upon the place of CromwcTs Moon j and Cauda in this, upon the place of his Sun. It is indeed fuch an Antipathy, that a greater can hardly be found.
Thus much for this Nativity.

¿lion . operating;
but in that year there happened two Eclipfes of the Luminaries, one o f die Sun, and the other o f the Moon ; and both o f rhèm very great ones, andin the Moons Radical place. He loft'his otjiér» viz,, his left Eye, about nine pr ten years o f Age : the Afcendent was then dirçàed to the Pleiades, and nearly to the Body p£S- ' , " T ' ,t . f.:?* , . :....V" •
When he vi'is 15 years of A g e , he had Both Ague and Fever ; and this violent; the Afcendenc yyas then. directed ad Corpus Saturm, both’with

Being near 31 yearsof Age, he died > (che Difeafe I could not learn) buc the Moon was then direited ad Oppofitum Saturni cum Latitudine : ft then had newly tcaniiced the place of the Sun in his Radix.
The Arguments of Blindnefe in this Nativity, are in general thefe : (1.) The Infortunes aftU&ing the Sun within Orbs. ( 2 .) The Sun entring the Milky-way, and with violenc fixed Stars ; and the other Luminarie being in via Combusta*. (3 .) The Conjunción o f ft and <? with the Pleiades in the
