this Iudgement that the Lorde God hymself is the originall aucthour and principall worker of this Starre as of all others makyng it an immediate messenger and minister of his will accordyng to the tyme and place as it beste pleaseth his diuine and eternall maiestie Who seyng that we bee suche an obstinate and stiffenecked people that wee will not bee moued to loue hym neither in respecte of his long sufferaunce and louyng mercie shewed all waies towardes vs neither yet in respecte of that moste sweete and comfortable voice of the Gospell whiche hath been preached full .xxij. yeres vnto vs by his faithfull seruauntes and Ministers Dooeth now in his secrete councell goe an other waie to woorke and by fearfull Eclipses of Sonne and Moone and by glisteryng flames of fierrie Cometes and other suche like monstruous signes and tokens in the heauen and in the earth doeth goe I saie about to enforce and coÌ„pell vs against our willes to be mindfull of the latter daie whiche is not farre of If we will giue any credite to the woordes of Christ who immediatly after he had made mention of the signes whiche should bee sene in the Sonne and in the Moone and in the Starres doeth forthwith adde these wordes CuÌ„ haec videritis euenire cognoscite quod prope est regnuÌ„ dei That is to saie Math. 24.33 When ye se all these thinges knowe that the kyngdome of God is nere euen at the doores Luke 21.28 And againe when these thinges doe beginne to come to passe then looke vp and lift vp your heades For your redemption draweth nere Behold the Figge tree and all trees when thei now shoote forthe ye seyng theÌ„ knowe of your owne selues that Sommer is nere So likewise ye wheÌ„ ye se all these thinges come to passe knowe you that the kyngdome of God is neare Verely I saie vnto you This age shall not passe till all these thynges bee doen heauen and yearth shall passe awaie but my woordes shall not passe awaie By that whiche hetherto hath been spoken you see how almightie God is not onely the creator and gouernour of Nature it self and of all Naturall causes but also he is suche a one as in the worke of this blasyng Starre is to bee acknowledged and confessed to bee the onely efficient cause And therefore he onely and not the blasyng Starre is to bee feared and had in reuerence consideryng that he is of power able not onely to chasten vs with temporall punishementes for the amendement of our liues in this wretched worlde But also in his Iustice maie condemne vs to eternall death and destruction in the kyngdome of darknesse where there is euerlastyng fire prepared for the Deuill and his angelles For whiche cause I can not deny but I must needes confesse that for the moste parte blasyng Starres are a token and signe of greate horror and feare and do prognosticate of some strange wonder and dooe threaten some imminent euill and mischeefe commonly vnto that parte of the yearth towardes the whiche thei seme to cast their beames moste directly And therfore those Philosophers which haue written of the effectes of blasyng starres haue founde by good experience that sometymes thei dooe signifie drouthe and barronnesse of the yearth whiche made Augustinus Niphus to witnesse that after the appearyng of a Comete Anno domini 1506. whiche was about the 22. yere of the raigne of kyng Henry the seuenth there followed within twoo yeres after suche a drought in Lumberdie that from the moneth of Ianuarie vnto Nouember after there fell no Raine at all in that Countrie Sometymes also after the appearyng of blasyng Starres there followeth moste commonly cruell and greate windes and mightie teÌ„pestes with haile stones of suche a bignesse that through the same many houses are throwne doune and often times are coÌ„sumed and burned with fire through the windes As almoste the whole countrie of Scotlande was once wasted by fire the 9. of Ianuarie 1251. a greate Comete of maruelous bignesse hauyng been seen before in Scotlande for many daies Anno 1248. Sometymes thei dooe signifie the death and change of Kynges and Princes and the alteration of kyngdomes coÌ„monwealthes As maie appeare Anno 1116. When Chichester was burnte there was sene a blasing starre the Moone not long tyme after semed to bee turned into blood after the which Maude the Queene of Englande died was buried at Westminster Likewise Anno do 1165. appeared a mightie Comete in Scotlande burnyng out with twoo long beames And within fourtie daies after died Malcolmus the iiij Kyng by name of the Scottes as the Chronicle reporteth Moreouer Anno 1214. in the moneth of Marche twoo Cometes of a maruellous bignesses verie fearfull to behold appeared in Scotlande the one going before and the other followyng the Sonne in the whiche yere that moste happie and good Kyng Willyam died after he had rained fourtie and nine yeres Likewise Anno 1538. appeared a Comet after the settyng of the Sonne which was placed in the signe Pisces and the taile of it lookyng towardes the East and shortly after died the Duke of Saxon. Also Anno 1539. the sixt daie of Maie appeared a Comete whiche endured burnyng three weekes and not long tyme after Isabell the wife of Charles the fift Emperour died in trauaile of childe in whiche yere also died George that duke of Saxonie And in the same yere as some doe write there appeared three Cometes in the moneth of Aprill after the whiche the Duke of Cleaue died and also the Bushop of Trent and diuers other noble personages In the yere of the Lorde 1540 the seuenth daie of Aprill happened a great coniunction of the Planettes and there appeared also a marueilous Eclipse of the SoÌ„ne whose beginnyng was before the Sonne risyng and did endure in the same Eclipse twoo whole howers after it was risen Also there was sene aboute the same tyme a maruelous straunge Comete in the euen after the whiche there followed so greate a drought that Hay Corne and all kinde of Pulse were verie scarce And the same yere the Castell of Prage a noble Citie in the kyngdome of Bohemia with the Cathedrall Churche were burned with fire and many fearfull fires happened in sondedrie places thesame tyme. Moreouer Anno 1547. in Heluecia in Germanie were sene in the aire twoo hostes of men of warre and twoo Lions grÃ©euously and terriblie fightyng together so long that the one semed to bite of the others head quite And the yere followyng the x. daie of Februarie was sene in Saxonie a Countrie also in Germanie a fire froÌ„ heauen that fell vppon certaine Cities and twoo hostes of menne were sene in the aire runnyng and skirmishyng one against an other besides diuers other straunge sightes very wonderfull to beholde And yet in these daies it will not sincke into the heades of many that there maie any suche strange sight appeare in the aire because wee can not render a naturall reason thereof

caste a trenche aboute thee and compasse thee rounde and kÃ©epe thee in on euery side And shall make thee euen with the ground and the children whiche are in thÃ©e and thei shall not leaue in thee a stone vpon a stone because thou knewest not the season of thy visitation All whiche thynges came to passe fourtie yeres iuste after the passion of Christe Anno dnÌ„i 73. who in his life tyme through his Diuine power foresawe those thinges should happen whiche he foreshewed in that Prophecie And with weepyng teares as the Euangelist Luke doeth witnesse he bewailed their greeuous miserie Iosephus lib. 6. cap. 11. de bello Iudaico And therefore our Sauiour Christ did not without iuste cause vpbraide the Iewes for their impenitencie and hardnesse of harte and vnbelefe when he saieth vnto them O Hierusalem Math. 23.37 Hierusalem whiche killest the Prophetes and stonest them whiche are sent vnto thee how often would I haue gathered thy children together as the Henne gathereth her Chickens vnder her winges and ye would not Behold therefore your habitation shal bee lefte vnto you desolate c. And in deede it came so to passe for accordyng to the saiyng of Christ there was so greate distresse within the lande of Iuda and Gods wrath was so heauie ouer the people of HierusaleÌ„ that thei were ledd captiue into all NatioÌ„s and were trodden doune vnder the feete of the Gentiles c. Luke 21.24 And what other thyng was this I praie you but a greeuous ruine and destruction of the Iewes Beeyng also a liuely figure of the consummation of the whole worlde whiche I am certainly perswaded is not farre of For as our Sauiour Christe before Hierusalem was besieged and destroied Luke 21.20 did vse these wordes vnto the Iewes When ye see Hierusalem besieged with souldiers then vnderstande that the desolation thereof is neere and it came so to passe Luke 21.20 Euen so lett vs bee perswaded that if those signes whiche Christe hath shewed should goe before his second commyng to Iudgement haue manifestly appeared in the sight of all men and can not be denied but that thei are already fulfilled there remaineth nothyng then but that we should looke for the sonne of man to come in the cloudes with power and greate glorie Let vs therefore consider the nomber of the signes whiche are mentioned in the holie Scriptures whiche are called either signa precedentia vel concomitantia muÌ„di interitum that is either signes goyng before or els the signes that shal bee ioyned with the consummation of the world Concerning the whiche signes Read that place where Christe his Disciples came vnto hym a parte Math. 24.3 saiyng Tell vs when these thynges shal bee and what signe shal bee of thy coÌ„myng and of the ende of the worlde Vnto whom Iesus made aunswere Verse 4. and saied take heede that no man deceiue you For many shall come in my name saiyng I am Christ and shall deceiue many And you shall heare of warres and rumours of warres see that you bee not troubled for al these thynges muste come to passe but the ende is not yet For Nation shall arise against Nation Realme against Realme and there shal be Famine and Pestilence and earthquakes in diuers places Now if we will examine our owne selues and rippe vp our owne hartes we can not denie but that these thynges haue been already fulfilled whiche Christe hath here forespoken call therefore to remembrance that where as Christe saieth first that many shall come in my name saiyng I am Christe c. How that in the third yere of the raigne of the Queenes Maiestie Anno. 1561. the tenth daie of Aprill one Willyam Geffray was whipped froÌ„ the Marshalsie in South warke to Bedlem for that he professed one Ihon Moore to bee Christe our Sauiour And you shall finde that the same Ihon Moore also was whipped vntill he had coÌ„fessed Christe to be in heauen and hymself to be a sinfull man As touchyng the rumor of warres and the risyng of Nation against Nation and Realme against Realme the greetious inuasion and daiely siege that the Turke maketh against Christendome the bloodie broiles betweene the kyng of Spaine and the Estates of the lowe Countries the bloodie battell fought betweene the Kyng of Portugale and Amole Moluco Kyng of Fess Anno. 1578. August 4. and diuers other worthie personages The preparatioÌ„ of the Pope into Irelande the Ciuile warres and late bloudie Massacres made in Fraunce also the present warres betweene Englande and the rebelles of Ireland can witnesse that these signes are also come to passe alreadie Concernyng Famine thinke vppon the dearth of Corne that was in the fifth yere of Queene Marie when Wheat was sold for fowre Markes the quarter and people were driuen to eate bread made of Acorns but especially which is the greatest dearth of all call to mynde the Famine of the woorde of God whiche could not then bee preached but in corners so that the people had well nere perished for want of Spirituall foode As touchyng the Pestilence whether that hath not raigned in many places of the worlde of late call to mynde the yere of the Lorde God 1563. wherein from the firste of Ianuarie 1562. vntill the laste of December followyng there died of the plague within the Citie of London and liberties thereof 20146. As the Chronicles doe witnesse That I maie omitte to speake of the Pestilence that was since in other places of the realme as namely in Norwitch Rye c. Also of the plague that is now in Paris where there dieth 3000. in a weke And that in the meane while also I saie nothyng of that greeuous plague that hath raigned in Italie and Spaine and els where c. Moreouer I nede not I hope to make any proofe whether there hath been any yearthquakes already in sondrie places of the worlde Seing that I am perswaded that the remembraunce of the late yearthquake whiche happened the sixte of Aprill laste 1580. is not yet quite forgotten of those that feare GOD and thirst after his commyng Whiche earthquake seemed to be vniuersall or at the least to be perceiued and felte at that verie tyme in the moste parte of Christendome whiche is miraculous and wonderfull These thynges therfore whiche our Sauiour Christ hath foreshewed to be the foreronners of his seconde commyng are truely verified and fulfilled already so that he is altogether blinde who will not se and for the moste part bereft of his senses who neither can nor will vnderstande thesame But to proceade notwithstandyng all this Math. 24.8 whiche hetherto hath been spoken Christe doeth affirme moreouer that all these are but the beginnyng of sorrowes For then shal thei deliuer you saith he vp to bee afflicted and shall kill you and you shal be hated of all nations for my names sake whiche thyng hath been alreadie verified in the late persecution of faithfull Christians in
