the
many
wonders
of
the
almightie
God
,
with
what
signs
&
tokens

and

,
wherfore
omitting
circumstances
,
I
shal
here
deliuer
vnto
you
the
truth
and
certaintie
,
by
honest
men
approoued
,
and
of
good
reckoning
in
the
Townes
where
they
dwell
,
the
most
strange
and
wonderfull
worke
of
God
,
lately
showne
,
in
two
seuerall
Cities
in
the
streetes
,
not
past
two
moneths
since
.
The
straungenes
and
wonderfull
worke
whereof
God
grant
may
cause
in
vs
true
repentance
of
our
sinnes
,
and
learne
vs
to
amend
our
euill
liues
,
putting
of
the
olde
sinne
and
clothing
vs
a
new
,
with
the
pure
garment
of
faith
,
fearing
to
offend
the
Maiestie
of
the
most
highest
,
and
dreading
to
feele
that
vtter
crosse
which
was
lately
laid
on
our
neighbours
,
for
their
wickednes
,
and
for
our
example
.
In
the
Country
of
Prouence
,
in
a
Towne
called
Tellonne
,
which
holdeth
for
the
King
,
yet
are
for
the
greater
part
Catholickes
as
they
terme
themselues
,
in
this
towne
,
dwelled
a
Lady
called
Madam
Deormoga
,
sister
to
a
man
of
good
name
,
and
late
wife
to
a
most
braue
and
gallant
man
and
a
braue
souldier
while
hee
liued
,
and
an
earnest
professer
of
the
trueth
.
This
Madame
Deermoga
,
the
24.
of
March
now
last
past
,
supping
at
the
Gouernours
house
being
her
kinsman
,
chanced
at
the
table
to
enter
talke
of
her
religion
,
being
a
zealous
Protestant
,
on
whome
,
there
was
so
many
bayting
to
drawe
her
from
the
trueth
,
as
it
did
not
a
litle
greeue
the
good
Lady
,
hauing
no
bodie
but
God
that
defendeth
the
cause
of
the
iust
to
say
for
her
,
or
in
any
wise
to
helpe
her
to
answere
a
word
.
After
long
communication
hote
on
both
sides
,
a
certaine
Bishop
,
which
had
some
authoritie
in
that
place
threatned
her
,
protesting
that
the
next
day
he
would
call
her
in
question
,
and
so
accusing
her
of
heresie
,
put
her
to
death
,
defying
her
with
verie
odious
speeches
,
and
tearming
her
at
his
pleasure
,
who
was
nobly
borne
and
euerie
way
his
better
.
The
time
of
night
calling
euery
one
to
their
rest
,
they
tooke
leaue
each
of
others
,
committing
the
Lord
of
the
house
to
his
quiet
,
but
the
Bishop
whose
heart
encenced
with
enuy
towardes
the
Ladie
,
gaue
her
this
cauiat
,
to
bee
the
next
day
when
she
should
be
called
of
another
minde
,
or
else
prouide
to
frie
a
faggot
,
affirming
therewith
by
great
oath
that
it
was
not
for
her
sake
they
had
borne
with
her
as
they
had
.
To
whom
the
Lady
Deormoga
replied
,
assuring
him
that
she
waied
not
what
he
or
any
Priest
of
Ball
could
do
,
for
God
was
her
defence
,
and
by
his
passion
shee
hoped
of
euerlasting
life
,
daring
him
to
doo
what
he
could
,
alledging
many
places
out
of
the
scripture
,
wherein
she
had
sure
comfort
and
hope
of
Christ
,
not
forgetting
to
put
him
in
mind
how
God
by
his
power
freed
Daniel
,
the
three
children
in
the
Ouen
,
Susanna
from
the
Elders
,
&
infinit
others
,
seeing
my
Lord
quoth
shee
,
that
such
is
the
power
of
my
Sauiour
,
I
feare
not
you
nor
what
you
can
do
:
And
so
farewell
:
and
fauour
me
as
I
shall
desire
your
friendship
.
Thus
parted
they
,
and
the
rest
of
the
company
many
the
Ladies
friends
,
which
did
know
the
condition
of
the
Bishop
,
and
with
what
crueltie
hee
pursued
those
whom
hee
enuied
,
knowing
by
his
countenance
,
that
he
was
throughly
moued
,
greatly
lamented
the
good
Lady
,
albeit
they
liked
not
of
her
religion
.
But
behold
,
the
wonder
of
the
great
God
of
Israel
,
how
from
the
cruell
iawes
of
this
blood
thirstie
Prelate
,
the
Lord
deliuered
this
verteous
and
innocent
Ladie
,
euen
as
Phato
with
his
host
was
ouerwhelmed
,
so
was
this
Bishop
ouertaken
in
his
owne
sinne
.
The
night
being
well
spent
ere
the
company
parted
,
it
was
neere
twelue
a
clocke
ere
the
Bishop
was
layde
in
his
bed
,
where
he
had
scarsly
remained
one
houre
and
his
people
at
quiet
but
throughout
the
house
there
was
heard
the
most
greeuous
noyce
that
might
be
imagined
,
so
that
those
which
awaked
therewith
,
with
the
terrour
thereof
was
neere
besides
themselues
.
In
this
maner
,
for
one
houre
or
more
,
most
odiously
it
continued
,
and
euer
the
principall
and
chiefest
therof
was
heard
,
towards
the
Bishops
owne
lodging
,
who
for
that
he
called
not
,
nor
made
any
meanes
for
his
seruants
they
laie
all
still
as
full
of
feare
as
euer
were
men
.
Before
two
of
the
clocke
the
watch
of
the
Towne
descried
in
the
Bishops
house
a
great
fire
,
which
no
sooner
perceiued
,
but
they
repaired
to
their
Lieftenantes
lodging
,
and
him
thereof
aduertised
,
who
doubting
some
treason
,
tooke
with
him
fortie
or
fiftie
of
his
company
,
and
comming
to
the
house
adressed
themselues
,
to
seeke
reliefe
for
the
staying
the
same
,
first
breaking
open
the
gates
and
beseeching
the
company
of
the
house
to
direct
them
for
things
necessary
as
ladders
and
thinges
to
bring
water
,
the
seruants
thus
amazed
at
the
sodeinnes
thereof
could
not
tell
what
to
doo
,
but
lyke
men
distraught
ranne
vp
and
downe
,
at
length
one
amongst
the
rest
,
called
to
minde
their
Lord
,
perceiuing
the
fire
to
bee
neare
his
lodging
cried
out
to
the
Lieftenant
who
was
without
the
house
busied
in
setting
the
company
a
worke
for
help
,
and
told
him
the
feare
he
had
of
the
Bishop
in
whose
lodging
the
fire
was
,
vpon
these
speeches
the
Lieftenant
repaired
to
the
Chamber
doore
which
was
yet
whole
,
and
with
his
company
began
to
lift
at
it
to
get
it
open
,
where
a
voice
shrill
and
fearfull
,
commanded
them
to
let
all
rest
,
for
the
Bishop
with
his
Idols
and
gold
which
he
loued
must
perish
togither
.
The
Lieftenant
albeit
a
worthie
Gentilman
,
was
heereat
more
amazed
,
then
if
hee
had
been
in
the
field
enuironed
with
enemies
,
and
forbeare
his
owne
hands
commanding
the
rest
to
stay
,
who
beeing
full
of
courage
continued
still
,
thinking
it
some
ieast
,
or
some
illusion
,
and
were
striken
,
one
lame
,
and
two
slaine
out
right
.
The
Lieftenant
which
sawe
this
strange
strategeme
,
was
not
a
littell
amazed
,
and
lamentinge
his
people
,
caused
them
to
be
caried
away
,
they
that
were
on
the
outside
the
howse
,
heauinge
water
,
was
diuers
times
teryfied
with
the
same
voyce
,
who
for
lacke
of
gouerment
regarded
nothing
,
amongst
which
so
many
were
greuously
hurt
,
some
fell
of
the
house
so
into
the
fire
and
were
pitifully
burnt
,
but
in
vaine
was
all
their
labour
,
for
nothing
might
helpe
or
auaile
the
Bishop
till
all
was
consumed
.
By
this
daye
approched
when
the
house
was
neere
consumed
,
when
the
Lieftenant
with
some
of
his
followers
entered
the
lodginge
of
the
Byshop
,
but
founde
all
consumed
,
&
nothing
to
be
seene
or
heard
of
him
,
with
the
report
of
which
had
happned
,
the
Lieftenant
repayred
to
the
lord
Gouerner
,
and
to
him
recounted
what
had
hapned
,
with
the
fearfull
voyces
,
which
so
terryfie
them
,
at
whose
speaches
,
the
Gouerner
so
much
amazed
as
fleshe
might
be
,
began
to
recount
the
power
of
the
omnipotent
God
,
who
had
wrought
this
miracle
,
amongst
many
others
to
drawe
the
vnbeleeuers
to
knowe
him
,
and
to
protect
the
innocent
Ladye
,
from
the
crueltie
of
that
balamite
which
had
so
professed
himselfe
her
enimie
,
for
the
truthes
sake
,
the
Ladie
whose
charitie
excelled
the
cruiltie
of
the
enuious
Byshop
,
greeued
not
a
little
for
his
death
,
and
in
charitie
besought
his
diuine
magestie
,
not
to
impute
his
sinnes
vnto
him
.
Loe
thus
the
reward
of
bludthirstines
,
he
that
pretended
the
ouerthrow
of
this
good
Lady
,
was
in
his
owne
sinnes
ouerthrowne
,
the
Lorde
make
vs
mindfull
of
his
grace
,
thankfull
for
his
benifites
,
and
endue
our
hartes
with
charitie
,
send
an
vnitie
in
the
Church
and
confound
Idolatry
.
An other
most
rare
exampele
foure
dayes
after
that
happened
,
lamentable
and
full
of
pitye
,
in
the
Citie
of
Arger
in
Turkie
,
as
they
were
at
praier
according
to
the
manner
of
the
countrie
,
a
most
sodaine
darkenes
fell
vppon
them
,
and
presentlye
ensued
such
a
fearfull
clap
of
thunder
as
would
haue
terified
the
hardest
hart
,
with
which
also
fell
great
store
of
lightening
which
fiered
the
one
ende
of
the
church
,
through
which
there
ensued
a
most
cruell
fire
,
which
consumed
the
same
in
short
time
,
by
which
manie
were
slaine
,
some
with
the
fal
of
stones
,
and
dyuers
by
seeking
to
quench
the
same
,
the
Gouerners
house
with
dyuers
others
was
likewise
consumed
.
Also
a
ship
of
corne
and
bread
readie
baked
,
which
was
staied
by
the
gouerner
,
bownde
for
the
releefe
of
Telonne
,
which
was
greatly
destressed
,
for
it
rarely
was
by
this
lightning
fiered
and
consumed
,
the
men
being
all
prisoners
,
two
dayes
after
which
ship
was
consumed
,
in
the
roade
from
the
ship
was
seene
to
come
so
many
Rattes
as
amazed
men
to
behold
,
who
recoueringe
the
shore
,
so
greatly
anoyed
the
citie
that
there
dwelled
none
therein
which
complained
not
of
the
harme
was
done
by
them
.
Thus
haue
I
for
example
,
written
this
true
historie
,
and
lamentable
strategeme
,
for
your
benyfit
,
the
like
whereof
hath
seldom
bine
hard
,
the
holy
scriptures
declare
many
wonders
of
the
Lord
,
besides
what
our
eyes
haue
bene
witnesse
of
,
by
many
and
seuerall
signes
in
the
ayre
,
monsterous
byrthes
and
other
exterordinarie
chances
,
all
to
drawe
vs
to
amendment
of
life
,
which
the
God
of
all
glorie
graunt
for
his
sonne
Iesus
Christes
sake
,
Amen
.
