4 Figure for the Tear i6'^l^ for the King,
THis prefent Figure (lieweth that the King (hall be fortunate this year by reafon of u4cqmfitioi:us Idea and Ruler in thefirftHoufe: and bccaufe the (aid Fi- gure is good, and pa0eth into the eleventh , it doth fig- nifie that the King (hall come to a point with his Ene- mies, and obtain many Friends.

and Hoiifes that will \^t deftroyed in the War : And be- caufc the fourth goeth into the tenth, it fignifieth that* another would keep his Lands fro.Ti him by force, when Oliver Cromml is dead. The fifth, fignifieth that he will be angry with one of his kinsfolks. The fe venth is • an ill Figure, and fignifieth that his enemies will endea- vour to War with him. The eighth fignifieth that he (hall not be in any danger of death this year. The ninth fignifieth that the Clergy will this year ftand affefted to ^im. The tenth fignifieth that his Servants (hall be true to him. As touching the eleventh, becaufe the firft and that are both governed by one Ruler , it fignifieth good friends and faithful. And becaufe the firft is a good Figure, I faid when John Bdoker and I difputed about government* that the King in May 1660, would come again to his own, as Mr. John Empfon at the Fiery Beacon in Dukes-place, Mr. Erringtor/y Mr. Floods and Mr. Edvpard Edvoards at the Fountain, over againft the Rofe-tavern in King-Jireet, TFeftt^inftery and many o- thers can witnefs. And fince that, the 2 9 day of June 1660, the King being at fupper with the Duke of ^?/ci^- i«g^^>w, and our felf being there; the Duke again veri- fied this Art, and hath found it infallible,being as it were Kofie Crmian Axiomata. Now it is not lawful for me to tell you what (hall happen in England : hd mihi ! I dare not : I would all the Kings friends were as faithful as the Duke of Buckingham^ the Lord oiOxford^ Sir John Hanntery Sir Ralph Freeman^ and noble Colonel Samuel Sandjs latc Governour of fForcefter in the Wars.
