ay, A voice from the east, a voicefrom the west, a voice from the four winds, a voice against Jerusalemand the Temple, a voice against bridegrooms and brides, a voiceagainst all the people. Thus he went about all the narrow lanes,crying night and day: and being apprehended and scourged, he stillcontinued the same language under the blows, without any otherword. And they upon this, supposing (as it was) that it was some divinemotion, brought him to the Roman prefect: and by his appointmentbeing wounded by whips, and his flesh torn to the bones, he neitherentreated nor shed a tear ; but to every blow, in a most lamentablemanner and mournful note, cried out, « Woe, woe to Jerusalem /This he continued to do till the time of the siege, seven years toge-ther : and at last, to his extraordinary note of woe to the city, thepeople, the temple, adding, 6 Woe also to me P a stone from the bat-tlements fell down upon him and killed him !—Jos, Jewish Wars,1. 7. p. 738. 403ILLUSTRATION, No. L1V.

CIRCLE V.—SECT. XIV. PREDICTION OF A SCOTCH SEER. In the latter part of the 15th century, there lived in Scotland aman named Thomas Lermouth, who was considered as a prodigy,for the gift of foretelling future events. He had foretold, many agesbefore it happened, the union of England and Scotland, in the ninthdegree of Bruces blood, with the succession of Bruce himself to thecrown, being yet a child. The day before the death of Alexander, he told the Earl of March,that before the next day at noon, such a tempest should blow asScotland had not felt many years before. The next morning provingclear and serene, the Earl rallied Thomas with the fallacy of his pre-diction. Noon is not yet past, replied Lermouth ; and soon afterarrived a messenger with news of the kings sudden death. This,cried the seer, is the tempest I foresaw ; and such, indeed, iteventually proved. 404 THE ASTROLOGER OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY* Extraordinary warnings from josephus thehistorian.

h causedthe native to become partially known to the astrological world: butchiefly through the sending forth some singular and eccentric opinionsrelative to astrology, that time does not appear to sanction. At 30years and 4 months, the moon, coming to 3(upiter, is very likely to beproductive of some favourable change in affairs, and may give pecu-niary emolument; but the moon to the opposition of Saturn, in the33rd year, is very evil. The native must be very cautious in his pur-suits at that time, and be careful of rushing hastily into that fromwhich he may find it difficult to extricate himself; for at that periodthe heavens are lowering, and portend a storm of no small magni-tude, with a disastrous combination of evils and hostile events that Ishall forbear to enumerate, being confident the native is capable ofduly appreciating my prediction.
