We  yst  feem  not

never  (I  fear)  fhail> 
fd  long  as  party  pre 

vails.  This  is  a 

1,  which  we  can- 
not call  upon  the  cae 
leftial  merTengers  to 
vindicate !  Reafori 
and  fage  experience 
have  already  con- 
firrried  it,in  thebreaft 
of  every  fenfibleman, 
that  whilft  what  de- 
lights the  one,  dif- 
tra6ts  the  other.  Con- 
fufion  and  difturb- 
ance  muft  inevitably 
follow  5  and  peace 
and  harmony,  love 
and  unity  flee  awdy. 
Td  fay  that  this  is 
the  cafe  with  other 
nations,  is  'preading 
the  wound  in  (lead  of 
ing  it ;  and  it  is 
but  a  furly  fttisfac- 
tion  to  (ay,  I  thank 
God  my  caie  is  not 
fo  bad,  but  I  fee  as 
much  calamity  in 
that  of  my  neigh 
bour.

However,  by  the 
configurations  of  the 
g  laft  month  and  this, 
we  may  predict  that 
much  bufinnefs  is 
upon  the  carpet ;  fo 
~ar  any  one,  who  has 
the  leaft  infight 
19  the  once  admir'd,  but 
now  in  general  de- 
fpifed  art,  of  what 
vulgarly  called 
prognoftication,may 
eafily  fee:  but  to  un- 
ravel the  myfteries 
of  fate  5  to  foretel  a 
many  vari- 
ous afpe&s,  of  vari- 
ous import,  wherein 
not  only  private  per- 
fons    according  to 
their  birth,  age,  and 
fituation  in  life,  but 
alfo  cities,  kingdoms 
,  are  invol- 
ved; is  a  work  which 
think  no  true  mo- 
deft  and  chriftian  af- 
will  have 
the  effrontery  to  at* 
tempt.

Partridge,  1786. 


Of  the  Eclipses  that  will  happen  in  the  Year  1786, 

TWICE  will  the  filver  Moon,  the  mother  of  months, 
and  foft  emprefs  of  the  night,  loie  her  boriovved 
luflre.  Thrice  will  the  blazing  charioteer  of  day  with- 
draw his  flaring  beams  for  a  while  from  the  gazing  fpec- 
tator. 

Within  the  rolling  year  mail  five  Eclipfes  be, 
Yet  who  inhabit  here,  not  one  of  them  mail  fee. 
The  firit  will  be  an  invifible  eclipfe  of  the  Moon  on 
January  14,  as  follows : 

Beginning  about  1 1  \  Mane. 
Middle  about     12  f  Noon. 
End  almoft    -     2  P.  M. 
But  the  Moon  ooes  not  rife  with  us  till  after  the  eclipfe  is 
over. 

The  fecond  is  an  eclipfe  of  the  Sun,  on  the  30th  of  Ja- 
nuary, at  about  40  minutes  paft  2  in  the  morn,  and  con- 
fequently  to  us  invifib.'t;  but  to  thofe  who  are  in  134 
deg.  Eaft  longitude,  and  32  deg.  North  latitude,  he  will 
be  centrally  eclipfed. 

The  third  will  be  a  total  eclrpfe  of  the  Moon,  as  follows! 

Beginning  8  h.  56  m.  Mane,  July  nth. 

Beginning  of  total  darknefs,  loh.  21m. 

Middle  of  the  eclipfe,     -     loh.  40m. 

End  of  total  darknefs    -    -   nh,  om. 

End  of  the  eclipfe    -    -    -   I2h.  24m. 
To  the  inhabitants  of  the  Britilh  ifle  it  will  however  be 
invifible. 

The  fourth  is  an  invifible  eclipfe  of  the  Sun,  on  July  25, 
near  a  quarter  before  9  in  the  morning  ;  he  will  however

Qbfervations  upon  the  probable  Events  during  the  four  Quar- 
ters of  the  prefent  Tear,  and  frf, 

The  Winter  Quarter. 

WHICH  commenced  on  the  21ft  of  December,  1785, 
at  3  quarters  paft  8  in  the  morning, 

When  Sol  to  Capricorn  purfued  his  way, 
And  dark'ning  clouds  almoft  obfcure  the  day ; 
When  fnowy  fleeces  clothe  the  naked  wood, 
And  freezing  winds  benumb  the  rapid  flood; 
The  mighty  torrent  rages  now  no  more, 
But  lays  his  fliff'ned  arms  befide  the  fhore. 

To  the  curiousand  more  intelligent  [  will  give  the  fcheme 
of  the  heavens,  at  the  Sun's  firft  ingrefs  into  Capricorn  ; 
we  have  Luna  in  the  earthy  and  temperate  Virgo,  and  here 
fhe  hath  her  fall.  The  nimble  Mercury  is  pofited  in  19 
deg.  of  the  melancholy  Capricorn,  and  herein  he  hath  nei- 
ther exaltation,  detriment,  nor  fall.  Venus  in  Sagittary 
is  under  the  fame  predicament.  The  fiery  Mars  is  retro- 
gade  in  the  30th  deg,  of  Taurus,  wherein  he  has  his  de- 
triment. Jupiter  in  the  6th  deg.  of  the  fiery  Aries,  where 
he  has  neither  dignity  nor  detriment.  And  Saturn  in  the 
fame  condition  in  Aquarius.  And,  now  learned  Reader, 
judge  for  yourfelf. 

What  I  have  to  add  in  this  quarter  is,  that  my  obferva- 
tions  on  the  clofe  of  the  preceding  year  may  ftill  continue 
applicable;  viz.  much  bufinefs  itirring  in  the  cabinet; 
preparations  againft  hoftile  defigns  much  talked  of;  among 
the  lower  lort  much  wonder  and  ftrange  things  whifpered; 
and,  as  is  the  natural  confequence,  Granger  events  ex- 
pected. In  relation  to  what  effects  this  feafon  will  have 
upon  the  human  body ;  true  it  is,  the  cold,  moid,  and  de- 
crepid  age  and  ftate  of  man  is  mod  confonant  to  this  quar- 
ter. Hence  age  fuffers  moll:,  and  youth  is  moll  healthful, 
guc  age,  matured  by  experience,  may  fpin  out  life,  while 
youth,  unguarded,  lays  a  foundation  for  fudden  death.

Partridge,  1786. 


Of  the  Spring  Quarter, 
^T7HICH  this  year  commences  on  the  20th  day  of 
V V  March,  at  29  minutes  pad  10  in  the  morning,  when 
that  glorious  luminary  the  Sun  once  more  deigns  to  dif- 
penfe  equal  day  and  night,  now  once  more  touching  upon 
the  cceleitial  Aries.  The  pofition  of  the  heavens  at  this 
juncture  will  appear  from  the  following  fcheme : 


In  this  pofition  of  the  heavens,  wherein  9  deg.  of  Scor- 
pio afcend,  and  5  deg.  of  Pifces  culminate,  together  with 
the  various  afpedts  of  the  prefent  quarter,  I  think  we  may 
venture  to  predict  a  very  active  time.  We  live  in  a  day 
when  old  ftates  are  difmembering,  and  new  ones  arifing. 
Much  faction  is  in  many  parts,  and  they  who  have  read 
the  hiftory  of  ancient  times  will  find,  that  what  has  been 
will  be,  and  there  is  no  new  thing  under  the  fun.  Em- 
pires of  old  are  now  become  void,  and  the  hiftory  of  their 
heroes  and  tranfactions  appear  to  us  as  entirely  fabulous. 
But  many  will  fay  this  cannot  be  the  cafe  with  us  in  this 
day,  becaufe  that  their  religion  was  a  falfe  one,  and  there- 
fore, as  ail  national  politics  are  founded  upon  the  religion 
of  their  country,  their  religion  being  a  falfe  foundation, 


Astrological  Observations.  43 

their  ftru&ure  could  nor  endure  for  ages.  But  we  Chrif- 
tians,  whofe  foundations  are  laid  in  the  fure  promifes  of 
the  gofpel  of  truth,  have  greater  hope?  and  higher  expec- 
tations frorn  him  who  has  faid,  1  o  !  I  will  be  with  you  al- 
ways. But  abfolutely  this  is  either  bad  logic,  or  no  logic 
at  all.  For  in  the  firft  place,  although  religion  is  pretend- 
ed to  be  the  bafis  of  ail  laws,  yet  it  never  appeared  to  me 
that  it  was  fo  ;  certain  it  is,  that  fome  pretention  of  that 
kind  has  at  times  gilded  n  any  a  bitter  pill. — Thou  lhak 
not  fuffer  a  witch  to  live,  was  a  fcripture  fentence,  which 
a  century  or  two  ago  gave  fanclion  to  a  law  by  which  a 
harmlefs  but  helplefs  old  woman,  when  me  could  do  no 
more  good,  might  re  the  more  cruelly,  becaufe  legally, 
deprived  of  life,  to  the  great  joy  and  fatisfa&ion  of  all  the 
good  Chriftians,  who  kindly  flood  muttering  their  male- 
dictions during  her  painful  exit.  Again,  let  us  examine 
the  game  laws,  and  being  no  fportfman  myfelf,  I  claim  a 
greater  right  to  fpeak  to  them.  Thofe  beafts  of  chace 
which  are  confined  to  the  pa  ks  of  gentlemen,  are  certainly 
as  much  their  property  as  the  lands  they  feed  upon  ;  but 
thofe  who  are  free-booters  upon  every  one,  are  certainly 
the  property  of  every  one  who  can  fecure  them.  I  only 
fay  this,  to  prove  that  not  every  law  is  founded  upon  gof- 
pel  ;  nor  will  I  fay  that  in  this  cafe  our  lawgivers  ever 
went  to  the  gofpel-mongers  for  a  text.  But  one  fwallow 
makes  no  fu«nrner ;  and  it  may  probably  be  faid,  that  re- 
ligion certainly  is  the  firft  eltablimer  of  laws,  and  at  all 
times  the  grand  fupport  of  them.  I  acknowledge  it,  and 
moil  own  that  1  fincerely  believe  it;  and  was  I  to  make 
a  fiefh  article  of  faith  it  would  be  a  very  fhort  one,  and 
worded  !  think  in  this  manner:— No  God,  no  faith  — no 
faith,  no  government- — no  government,  no  laws- — and 
no  laws,  no  living.  Yet  in  any  country  I  muft  needs  fay, 
that  although  the  laws  of  the  country  lliould  be  built  en- 
tirely upon  the  divine  code,  yet  if  that  be  erroneous,  the 
other  muft  be  fo  like  wife.  Moreover,  ancient  cultom  is  fo 
predominant  over  the  populace,  that  prudence  itfelf  will 
wink  at  it ;  and  I  think  I  have  excellent  authority  to  back 
my  afferiion,  when  I  call  to  mind  the  faying  of  St.  Paul  : 
I  am  made  ail  things  to  all  men,  that  I  might  by  all  means 
win  fome.  But  1  muT  rem  nd  you,  that  when  I  fpeak  of 
the  divine  code,  I  only  mean  (hat  code  of  religious  laws 

and 


44  Partridge,  iyS6. 

and  tenets  which  are  fuppofed  to  be  the  rules  of  particular 
feds  of  Chriftians,  through  the  reformed  world.  Let  us 
look  into  the  Greek  church,  and  fee  what  laws  produced 
from  their  religion  would  bring  for  the  good  of  mankind. 
All  is  not  gold  that  glitters  ;  nor  is,  in  my  opinion,  their 
dilTention  from  the  Rornifti  church,  a  jot  better  than  po- 
pery. For  a  proof  of  this,  I  will  give  you  an  extract  from 
the  Hiftory  of  the  Travels  of  the  AmbalTadors  from  the 
Duke  of  Holftein,  into  Mufcovy,  &c. 

In  fpeaking  upon  their  modes  and  religious  cuftoms,  he 
obferves  thus:  "  Their  burials,  like  their  other  public 
actions,  are  performed  with  great  ceremony ;  for  the  foul 
of  the  fick  perfon  is  no  fooner  departed,  than  the  widow 
fends  for  their  kindred  and  friends,  who  Handing  round 
the  deceafed,  alk  him  a  number  of  iilly  and  impertinent 
queftions,  as,  Why  did  he  die?  What  had  affronted  him  ? 
Sec.  Sec.  Many  more  fuch  fooleries  pafs  between  his  cieath 
and  interment.  But  I  pafs  over  thefe,  and  only  tell  you 
that  at  the  laft,  when  he  is  taken  to  his  grave  in  order  to 
ileep  with  his  forefathers,  the  prieft  then  takes  a  paper, 
which  is  a  kind  of  ticket  for  his  admiilion  into  Paradife, 
and  which  being  figned  by  the  patriarch,  or  metropolitan 
of  the  place,  and  the  conierTor,  is  fold  for  more  or  lefs, 
according  to  the  abilities  of  the  purchafer." — This  ticket 
is  of  fo  extraordinary  a  nature,  that  the  reader  will  not  be 
difoleafed  at  our  inferring  it  at  length  from  fo  good  au- 
thority : 

"  We  whofe  names  are  hereunto  fubferibed,  the  Patri- 
arch, or  Metropolitan,  and  Prieft  of  the  city  of  N  ,  do 

make  known  and  .certify  by  thefe  prefents,  that  the  bearer 
of  thefe  our  letters  has  always  lived  among  us  like  a  good 
Chriftian,  profeffing  the  Greek  religion;  and  though  he 
hath  committed  fome  few  fins,  yet  he  hath  confefled  the 
fame,  and  thereupon  hath  received  the  communion  for  the 
remiflion  of  his  fin6;  that  he  hath  honoured  God  and  his 
faints;  that  he  hath  faid  his  prayers,  and  that  he  hath 
failed  on  thehouis  and  days  appointed  by  the  church,  and 
that  he  hath  carried  himfelf  (o  well  towards  me,  who  am 
his  confe/Tor,  that  I  have  no  reafon  to  complain  of  him, 
or  to  deny  him  abfolution. 

««  Jn  witnefs  of  this  we  have  given  him  our  prefent  tes- 
timonial, to  the  end  that  upon  fight  thereof,  St.  Peter 
may  open  unto  him  the  gate  of  eternal  blifs." 


Astrological  Observations,  45 

The  coffin  is  then  (hut  and  put  into  the  grave,  the  face 
being  turned  to  the  Eaft,  while  thofe  who  return  to  the 
late  houfe  of  mourning  now  drown  their  forrpws  in  liquor. 

Now  what  good  laws  or  pious  documents  can  be  expect- 
ed from  fo  impure  a  fountain  as  this  ?  Again,  let  us  look 
into  the  part  of  the  Chriftian  world  which  is  under  the  di- 
rection of  the  church  of  Rome  ;  and  hereto  do  impartial 
jultice,  I  will  give  them  fairly  the  words  of  one  of  their 
beft  and  moft  learned  champions  : 

"  Fides  Catholica  docet  omnem  virtutem  efTe  bonam, 
omne  vitium  eiTe  malum.  Si  autem  erraret  Papa,  praeci- 
piando  vitia  vel  prohibendo  virtutes,  teneretur  ecclefia 
credere  vitia  elTe  bona,  et  virtutes  malas,  nili  vellet  con- 
tra conicientia  peccare." 

Bellarmine  de  Pontijice  Romano,  lib.  4,  5. 

That  my  plain  Proteftant  reader  may  not  be  at  a  lofs, 
through  ignorance  of  the  Latin  language,  I  will  give  the 
above  a  fair  Englim.  tranflation. 

Bellarmine,  in  the  5th  chapter  cf  the  4th  book  of  the 
forementioned  book,  fays  thus:  —  "The  Catholic  faith 
teaches  us,  that  although  every  virtue  is  good,  and  every 
vice  evil,  yet  if  the  Pope  mould  fo  far  err  as  to  command 
vices,  and  prohibit  virtues,  the  church  is  bound  to  believe 
the  vices  to  be  good,  and  the  virtues  evil,  unlefs  he  would 
lin  againft  confcience." 

The  great,  fenfible,  and  learned  Dr.  South,  in  his  ob- 
fervations  upon  thefe  words,  has  this  pertinent  remark  : 

"  Good  God  !  (faid  he)  that  any  thing  that  wears  the 
name  of  a  Chriflian,  or  but  of  a  man,  fhouid  venture  to 
own  fuch  a  villainous,  impudent,  and  blafphemous  afTer- 
tion  in  the  face  of  the  world  as  this.  What !  mult  mur- 
der ^  adultery,  theft,  fraud,  extortion^  perjury,  drunkennefs, 
and  all  the  horrible  train  of  diabolical  exercifes,  pafs  for 
good  and  commendable  actions,  and  fit  to  be  pra&ifed  ? 
And  mercy,  chafiity ,  truth,  juf  ice,  temperance,  and  fincere 
dealing,  be  accounted  things  utterly  evil  and  immoral,  and 
not  to  be  followed  by  men,  in  cafe  the  Pope,  who  is  ge- 
nerally a  weak,  and  almoft  always  a  wicked  man,  (hould 
by  his  miftake  and  infallible  ignorance,  command  the 
former  and  forbid  the  latter  ? 

"  Did 


46  Partridce,  1786. 

"  Did  Clin  ft  himfelf  ever  aflume  fuch  a  power,  as  to 
alter  the  morality  of  actions,  aiU  to  transform  vice  into 
virtue,  or  viftue  into  vice,  by  hi  bare  word  ?  Certainly 
never  did  a  grofler  paradox,  or  a  more  wicked  fentence, 
drop  from  the  mouth  or  pen  of  any  moral  man,  fince  rea- 
fon  or  religion  had  any  being  in  rhe  world. 

"  And  1  muft  confefs,  I  have  ohen  with  great  amaze- 
ment wondered  how  it  could  pofiibly  come  from  a  perfon 
of  fo  great  reputation,  both  for  learning  and  virtue  too, 
as  the  world  allows  Bellarmine  to  have  been.  But  when 
men  give  themfelves  over  to  the  defence  of  wicked  inter- 
efts,  and  falle  proportions,  it  is  but  jull  with  God  to  fmite 
the  greater!  abilities  with  the  greateft  infatuation."*-— 
Thus  far  the  learned  and  ingenious  Dr.  South. 

We  may  methinks  now  planly  difcover,  that  true  reli- 
gion is  much  mifufed,  t  ven  to  the  fcandal  of  Chritlianity. 
Upon  fuch  principles  as  I  have  been  mentioning,  what 
code  of  human  laws  could  be  produced,  which  might  be 
faid  to  be  eftablifhed  upon  the  everlafting  foundations  of 
gofpel  truths.  May  we,  who  fit  out  of  the  (hadow  of 
darknefs,  and  enjoy  the  true  light  of  the  gofpel,  with 
hands  and  hearts  lifted  up  to  heaven,  blefs  the  giver  of 
every  good  and  peifedl  gift,  that  the  lines  are  fallen  to  us 
in  plealant  places;  yea,  we  have  a  goodiy  heritage. 
Again,  we  may  hence  learn  that  many  modes  of  faith  were 
not  founded  upon  fcripture,  but  were  the  offspring  of  the 
human  brain  ;  and  then  the  fcriptures  were  ranfacked,  and 
often  mifinterpreted  for  texts  to  maintain  them.  This  is 
another  blefling  that  we  Proteftants  enjoy,  that  every  man 
may  read  and  judge  his  own  way.  And  fuppofi;  g  the 
worft,  viz.  that  (as  the  Papifts  affirm)  every  heretic  is  cer- 
tainly damned;  yet  the  devil  has  poffelTed  that  Papift  cer- 
tainly, who  will  not  give  a  poor  Proteftant  leave  to  go  to 
heli  his  own  way;  which  the  horrible  Inquifition,  and 
the  fire  and  faggots,  together  with  the  dire  maflacres  of 
former  ages,  plainly  prove  they  will  not  admit  of.  Laftlv, 
Hence  every  Proteftant  may  learn,  that  not  every  nation 
who  profefles  the  Chriftian  religion  follows  the  true  Chrif- 
tian  practice;  from  whence  come  ftrifes  and  dilTentions  ? 
have  we  not  all  one  faith,  one  hope,  one  baptifm,  one  God 
and  Father  of  us  all  ?  —  J;  comes  from  this  \  we  lull,  and

have  not  ;  nor  are  we  ever  eafy  but  when  we  are,  for  the 
fake  of  intereft,  deftroying  one  another. 

But  I  proceed  to  the  other  two  quarters,  in  which  I  fhall 
be  extremely  brief. 

The    Summer  Quarter. 
/ 

THIS  quarter  begins  at  what  time  the  Sun  enters  the 
tropica]  fign  Cancer,  which  this  year  commences 
on  June  the  21ft,  at'8h.  ~  in  the  morning.  By  all  ap- 
pearance, if  we  may  be  allowed  to  peep  behind  the  cur- 
tain, and  give  a  modeft  conjecture,  this  will  be  a  bufy 
quarter. — French  counfels,  Dutch  honefly,  and  Hibernian 
policy,  are  matters  not  much  to  be  depended  upon;  dif- 
fractions in  councils  of  a  free  people  are  nothing  new ; 
witnefs  the  hiflory  of  ancient  Rome,  or  indeed  the  annals 
of  our  own  nation.  But  I  yet  hope  that  the  peaceable 
well-wiftiers  to  the  Britifh  conftitution,  may  look  forward 
with  fatisfadtion ;  and  thofe  who  have  nothing  elfe  to  hope 
for,  let  them  hope  for  a  good  harveft. 

The  Autumnal  Quarter. 

'HT^HIS  quarter  commences  on  the  zzd  day  of  Septem- 
ker,  at  10  in  the  evening,  when  the  Sun  entering 
upon  Libra,  reduces  days  and  nights  again  to  an  equality. 
By  the  pofition  of  the  heavens  at  this  time,  it  Hill  appears 
to  me  that  the  year  will  continue  in  hurry  and  perplexity, 
and  poflibly,  when  it  expires,  leave  the  new  one  foie  heir 
to  a  wide  fcene  of  confufion.  If  a  revolt  mould  be  ripe- 
ning in  Spanifli  America,  I  fhould  not  much  wonder;  but 
when  it  will  take  place,  time,  and  not  I,  mull  determine. 
I  heartily  wifh  our  harveft  plenteous,  and  well  got  in. 
Complaints  in  fome  parts  I  am  well  aware  of,  but  i  hope 
not  in  general.  May  the  labours  of  the  feafaring  be 
crowned  with  fuecefs.  Gladly  would  I  promife  happinefs 
to  every  Hate  of  human  exigence,  but  prudence  fays,  pro- 
mife  with  caution. 

And  now,  my  good  friends,  the  next  page  puts  a  pe- 
riod to  my  this  year's  performance ;  in  which,  if  you  was 
to  find  any  wit,  I  lhould  be  forry  for  it,    I  profefs  it  not 

my 


43  Partridge,  1786. 

my  talent;  and  if  it  was,  I  would  make  it  an  exile  here, 
as  this  is  defigned,  from  the  bottom  of  my  heart,  as  a 
fober,  folemn,  and,  to  the  beft  of  my  fmall  abilities,  fen- 
fible  account  of  what  I  really  believed,  in  my  contempla- 
tions on  the  viciffitudes  of  the  prefent  year.  Thofe  who 
are  difatisfied  that  the  piognoflics  are  not  more  full  and 
pointed,  let  them  know,  that  under  feven  planets,  and 
twelve  figns,  are  all  the  cities,  countries,  and  dates  in  the 
univerfe;  and  when  the  Aftrologer,  although  backed  by 
all  the  rules  of  his  art,  may  predict  an  accident  which 
certainly  fhall  and  does  happen ;  yet  I  have  often  found 
it,  to  the  truth  as  well  as  difcredit  of  Aftrology,  that  while 
the  Aftrologer's  prefumption  has  marked  out  one  place, 
the  finger  of  God  has  pointed  out  another,  and  time  has 
proved  the  event. 

For  this  reafon  I  would  rather  be  cautious  than  loqua- 
cious. It  was  well  faid  of  one  of  the  antients,  Sapius 
revolve,  quod  femel  evolverts,  et  verba  cadenf  in  fententias  t 
Think  twice  before  you  fpeak  once,  and  you  will  fpeak 
twice  the  better  for  it.  Let  us  therefore  conclude  with  a 
fervent  prayer  to  him  by  whom  kings  reign,  and  princes 
decree  wifdom,  to  pour  forth  his  bleflings  upon  our  dread 
Sovereign  and  all  the  royal  family  ;  befeeching  him,  that 
there  may  never  be  wanting  one  of  that  royal  and  truly 
Proteftant  line  to  fway  the  Britifh  fcepter.  And  may  he, 
who  rules  the  liars,  make  us  holy  here,  in  order  that  we 
may  be  happy  hereafter ;  and  to  him  be  afcribed,  as  is 
moft  due,  all  honour,  glory,  dominion,  and  praife,  hence- 
forth and  for  evermore*  Amen.
