THE Author of this Tittle Trait, whb is pleafed to 
conceal his Name, complains in the firft place of 
the little Regard many Learned Men have for Aftrology, 
who account it trifling, falfe and impious ; from which 
Imputations he by no means excufes that part which re- 
lates to Nativities and Humane Actions, but affirms it 
unjuft fo to judge of that part which (earches after the 
general Caufes of the great Alterations of the Air, Epi- 
demical Diflempers, Comets, Earthquakes, and the like 
univerfal Effe&s of Nature. Thefe he endeavours to 
fhew proceed from the Influences of the Stars, from 
their conftant Concomitancy to fuch returning Pofitions 
of the Heavens. Proceeding to the late Earthquakes, he 
fliews them to be caufed by the Stars, according to the 
Principles of the Aftro-meteorological Art, publifh'd by 
Dr. Goad, who foretold feveral great Alterations, as, 
Earthquakes, &c. to happen in the Years px, 93, 94,95.
