...and Achaia, Arezzo, Parma, Toledo, Cesena, Imola. However, with respect to the significator's place, in Sardinia, Egypt, England, Armenia, Reggio, Trent, Vercelli, Turin, and Paris. Sheep, indeed, by reason of the eclipsed sign, and birds—especially aquatic ones—and fish, by reason of the angle closer to the eclipse, will act and be troubled in a wondrous way during these two continuous years in which this detestable destruction will last. Humans, however, with respect to the locations of the significator Mars, will be tortured by heavy punishment. Therefore, it must be prayed to the immortal gods that they might entirely avert this most atrocious plague. It would indeed be done for, if Jupiter, the most salubrious and clement of all the planets, having also obtained some rule, did not, by a greater aspect, felicitate and arouse the eclipsed place in a wondrous way.

Concerning the state of the triple faith. Chapter 5.

Although we predicted that the Jews and all who savor the nature of Saturn—such as the elderly, theologians, hermits, those in dark clothing, farmers, and that kind of man—would be fortunate from the happy dominion of Saturn in the previous forecast, they will nonetheless obtain an unhappy fate this year. For Saturn, having obtained Scorpio, the worst of all, in a weak place, languishes and is saddened. Furthermore, in the figure of the forecast, in the house of substances, it is burned and damned by the rays of Phoebus. It is not, therefore, a wonder if the Hebrews are afflicted by heavy loss this year. To the Christians, who do not stop provoking Jupiter himself because of their countless crimes, we promise fortune adverse to the fates. For Mercury, their lord, being confirmed in an exitial deadly house, threatens multiple and pernicious diseases. He himself also, in the pre-forecast figure where he occupies Pisces and seeks the combustion of death, is weakened in a wondrous way. And it is no wonder if the Mercurial types—such as orators, poets, philosophers, geometers, astrologers, tricksters, mimes, merchants, and that kind of man—would fare very badly this year. The Turkish people, to whom we assigned an unequal fate in previous years, will prosper much in war. For Mars, their ruler—if we give credence to the Jew Abraham—having obtained the dominion of the eclipse and being marked in the angle of the mid-heaven, promises and pledges this to them. Yet, I know not what craft they are plotting against the Christians. For in the astrology of the forecast, he will oppress Scorpio in the house of religion and infects and contaminates the Sun, who is also estimated to be the governor of the Christians, with venomous rays. Therefore, I ask that Christians be warned—be warned, I say—lest they be circumvented and supplanted by the snares of the Turks. Hence, let a happy fortune be granted to the Martials, such as physicians, surgeons, soldiers, and those similar to them. I see that many will labor under various diseases and will perform a wondrous deed in domestic affairs. For Venus, the queen of the Martials, is found in a morbid place and is also damned in the pre-forecast figure by the conjunction in the house of the substances of Saturn, and is burned by the lamp of Phoebus. Who, therefore, of the astrologers will deny that this year will be grave and very troublesome to those who have obtained the protection of Venus, such as women, procurers, whores, lute-players, perfumers, and those similar to them?
