THE
NEW

Shining
vpon

IN

yeere
one

there
appeared
in
the
heauens
a
new
strange
Light
,
exceeding
in
the
apparant
bignesse
thereof
all
the
fixed
Starres
,
and
shewing
forth
a
bright
and
Maiesticall
lustre
,
which
was
beheld
,
not
onely
in
the
night
time
,
but
also
by
some
at
Noone
day
,
and
became
at
that
time
the
gaze
of
the
world
,
and
taske
of
all
the
Astronomers
of
Europe
:
many
of
them
in
divers
Countreyes
publishing
their
Observations
and
Opinions
concerning
the
nature
of
this
Star
,
and
future
events
fore-signified
thereby
:
but
none
comparably
with
the
most
famous
Astronomer
of
our
time
,
called
Tycho
Brahe
,
a
Nobleman
of
Denmarke
:

By

were
those
admirable
Instruments
made

erected
by
Tycho
a
little
before
the
appearing
of
this
Starre
,
as
if
either
the

had
stayed
for

or

had
foreseene

of

Whereunto

his

what
euents
it
portendeth
,
like
to
befall
in
the
yeeres
neere
following

his

called
by
the

Tycho
in
this
his
booke
after
generall
observations
of
the
motions
of
the
heavens
,
treateth
at
large
of
this
much
admired
newe
Starr
,
(
whereupon
that
whole
Treatise
is
intitled
De
nova
Stella
anni
1572.
)
giving
the
description
of
the
forme
,
place
,
motion
,
and
durance
thereof
,
and
demonstrating
out
of
his
owne
and
other
Astronomers
experimentall
observations
,
that
it
was
not
seated
in
the
aire
,
but
aboue
in
the
throne
of
the
highest
Heavens
,
being
fixed
in
the
very
chaire
of
Cassiopeia
(
a
figure
of
Starres
so
called
)
he
very
certainly
concludeth
that
it
could
not
possibly
be
any
Comet
supposed
to
arise
out
of
the
vapours
of
the
Earth
elevated
into
the
vpper
Region
of
the
ayre
(
according
to
the
vulgar
errour
of
some
Philosophers
)
but
that
it
was
a
true
and
proper
Starr
,
made
of
heavenly
matter
,
being
none
of
the
originall
first
borne
lights
made
by
the
hand
of
God
in
the
Creation
(
which
possesse
an
indefeisible
freehold
of
their
station
to
the
worlds
end
)
but
a
kinde
of
adopted
childe
of
the
heavens
,
admitted
onely
for
a
Termer
in
that
habitation
,
which
he
possessed
about
sixteene
Moneths
.
This
Starre
,
as
it
was
scituated
in
that
part
of
the
heavens
,
which
is
called
via
lactea
(
the
milke
white
way
)
so
it
is
not
vnprobably
supposed
by
Tycho
to
haue
beene
composed
of
the
matter
of
that
part
of
the
heavens
.
Wherein
Tycho
avoweth
that
he
beholdeth
since
the
vanishing
of
that
Starre
a
kind
of
vacuity
or
diversity
of
colour
in
that
very
place
where
the
Starre
stood
,
as
shewing
the
consumption
and
absence
of
so
much
white
ethereall
matter
as
was
vsed
to
the
composure
of
that
Star
.
By
some
it
was
deemed
to
be
the
very
same
Starre
,
which
appeared
vnto
the
Sages
of
the
East
at
the
birth
of
our
Saviour
,
and
thereupon
coniectured
to
be
the
neerefore-runner
of
the
second
comming
of
Christ
,
as
that
was
the
attendant
of
his
first
comming
.
Accordingly
(
as
Tycho
in
this
booke
recordeth
)

Theodore
Beza
a
man
famous
in
this
age
for
his
great
abilities
in
learning
both
of
Humanity
and
Divinity
,
made
an
elegant
Epigram
,
which
thus
endeth
.

O
therefore
now
reioyce
ye
sonnes
of
God
:
But
bloody
Herod
tremble
at
this
rodde
.
As
then
Tycho
,
so
much
more
we
now
may
say
that
Master
Beza
heerein
did
not
so
much
intend
Historicall
certainty
,
as
morall
application
in
this
his
pious
Poeticall
rapture
.
And
therefore
well
may
we
take
vp
his
conclusion
,
as
applyable
to
the
event
of
Gods
mercies
to
his
Church
,
and
iudgements
against
the
enemies
thereof
.
Our
learned
and
noble
Tycho
Brahe
in
the
conclusion
of
this
his
worke
setting
downe
his
Astrologicall
iudgment
professeth
the
same
to
bee
but
coniecturall
,
ascribing
vnto
God
onely
the
certaine
foreknowledge
of
all
such
events
vpon
earth
,
as
are
caused
or
intimated
by
extraordinary
apparitions
of
Comets
or
new
Starres
in
the
Heavens
.
And
in
the
leading
motiues
to
his
opinion
heerein
he
proceedeth
not
boldly
like
a
rash
heathenish
Starre-gazer
,
but
modestly
,
warily
and
in
generall
.
First
,
he
layth
this
ground
,
most
probable
in
it selfe
,
that
,
if
there
be
any
certaine
portending
inclination
in
such
rare
and
admirable
apparitions
,
surely
most
in
the
most
rare
and
extraordinary
.
But
none
like
this
(
sayth
Tycho
)
was
ever
testified
by
any
monument
of
antiquity
to
haue
bin
seene
in
the
world
,
except
that
which
Pliny
avoweth
to
haue
beene
seene
and
observed
by
Hipparchus
,
who
lived
toward
the
end
of
the
Grecian
Monarchy
about
120.
yeares
before
the
birth
of
our
Saviour
.
Now
if
,
by
interpretation
of
event
,
&
consent
of
the
learned
,
that
new
starr
then
appearing
●id
foreshew
the
declining
of
the
Greeke
Monarchy
&
the
rise
&
strength
of
the
Roman
Empire
,
why
may
not
this
new
Star
being
of
the
like
kind
,
foreshow
also
rarissimos
,
ingentes
,
atque
improvis●s

,
strange
,
great
,
and
vnexpected
effects
to
come
in
the
neare
succeeding
times
in
the
estate
of
Kingdomes
or
Common-weales
Which
what
they
will
be
in
particular
nulli
mortalium
satis
perspectum
iudico
.
Then
stepping
forwarder
to
the
nearer
view
of
the
kind
of
effects
to
come
,
he
gathereth
out
of
the
Ioviall
lustre
of
it
ending
in
a
more
fiery
and
Martiall
glaring
rednesse
that
it
promiseth
prosperous
successe
,
so
that
those
devises
,
which
by
outward
shew
and
Pharisaicall
hypocrisie
haue
long
time
bewitched
ignorant
people
,
shall
come
to
their
full
poynt
and
end
.
And
because
the
Star
fixed
neere
the
Colure
,
yet
possessed
the
first
degree
of
Aries
being
the
place
of
the
Spring
when
the
day
getteth
advantage
of
the
night
,
therby
is
portended
some
new
light
which
shall
abate
and
vanquish
former
darknesse
.

But
if
one

twentie
yeeres

(

Tycho
seemeth
to
intend
)
bee
added
,
the

Learned
Tycho
guided
his
Contemplation
by
the
very
first
New
Moone
after
the
first
appearing
of
the
Starr
:
which
New
Moone
fell
vpon
the
fifteenth
of
Nouember
,
seauen
houres
thirteene
minutes
⅔
in
the
afternoone
,
accounting
the
time
by
the
Meridian
of
Tycho's
Iland
:
at
which
instant
the
new
Starr
was
in
the
Meridian
of
53
Degrees
from
the
West
,
and
so
became
in
that
instant
verticall
and
highest
to
that
place
of
the
earth
,
which
lyeth
in
the
longitude
of
53
,
and
latitude
of
62
:
being
situated
in
respect
of
the
Citie
of
London
twentie
Degrees
more
Easterly
,
and
about
ten
Degrees
more
Northerly
.
So
now
,
in
regard
of
the
ayme
of
this
eiaculation
of
prediction
,
the
parallell
of
62
may
be
called
the

of

it
cutteth

whereof

and
therein
shall

evidently
appeareth
by
the

of

Some
other
Mapps
draw
those
parts
a
little
more
to
the
West
:
which
is
not
to
be
accompted
strange
,
when
as
in
many
parts
of
the
world
(
especially
those
that
are
lesse
frequented
by

,
or
lesse
furnished
with

)
the
true
longitude
is
not
so

as
the
latitude
.
And
therefore
a
small
diversity
of
this
kind
occurring
in
variouse
Mapps
is
not
much
to
be
stood
vpon
.
True
it
is
that
our
Tycho
expresseth
that
designed
concurrence
of
longitude
and
latitude
,
as

Whether
ledd
thereto
by
the
composure
of
Mapps
in

,
pulling

more
fit

The

:
or

(

is

likely
)
for

Sutable
heereunto

wherewith

It
is
a

saying
,
that
in

(
especially
humane

coniecturall
)
event
,
and
experience
is
the
best
Comment.
If
therefore
about
a
place
and
time
thus
decyphered
there
now
appeare
evidence
of
vnexpected

,
being
the
streames
issuing
from
a
fountaine
lately
breaking
forth
and
getting
more

with

of

,
why
may
not
we
acknowledg
herein
Gods
extraordinary
handy-work
as
performed
in

,
so
also
fore-described
in
the
heavenly
Characters
of

?
If
Eclipses
of

,
and
coniunction
of

vnder

,
haue

much
more
may

of

in

challenge
the

language
.
Those
Eclipses
and
coniunctions
are
meerly
naturall
,
and
haue
their
certaine
revolution
,
and
concurrence
,
which
many
yeares
before
their
apparition
may
be
infallably
set
downe
by
the
observation
of
Gods
ordinary
Power
in

but
this
admirable

in

,
and

thereof
sheweth
the
finger
of
God
,
reaching
higher
then
to
the
support
of
Naturall
agents
:
and
therefore
much
more
probably
may
be
presumed
to
be
an
obiect
,
not
onely
of
the
eye
by
beauty
and
lustre
,
but
also
of
the
vnderstanding
,
in
being
a

of
Divine

.
In

now
mentioned
by

in

about

,
whereupon
he
especially
fixeth
the

of
this

,
we
can
finde
no

some

otherwise
may

by
certaine
Information
,
we
will
take
leaue
to
shadow
out
some
few
lineaments
of
his
worth
and
happinesse
.
Gustavus
Ericus
King
of
Sweden
(
the
first
crowned
Protestant
of
our
Age
)
was
his
Grandfather
:
to
whom
that
Kingdome
oweth
their
liberty
from
the
yoake
of
the
Danes
:
whose
sonne
Charles
likewise
freed
them
from
the
pressures
of
the
Polacks
.
This
Charles
marryed
the
daughter
of
Adolph
Duke
of
Holstein
,
and
by
her
begate
this
Gustavus
Adolphus
,
borne
at
Stockholm
the
last
of
November
1594
,
stilo
vet
.
Who
thus
by
two
descents
is
in
blood
and
generous
disposition
qualified
to
be
a
Restorer
of
Liberties
.
About
the
seuenteenth
yeare
of
his
age
,
Anno
1611
,
he
was
by
his
Father
Charles
made
Colonell
of
a
Troope
of
Horse
in
the
Warrs
against
Denmarke
.
When
hee
had
setled
Peace
in
his
owne
Countrey
,
by
composing
of
differences
and
quarrells
risen
betweene
him
and
the
King
of
Denmark
,
about
the
yeare
1614
,
vpon
refusall
made
vnto
him
of
re-imbursment
of
l●rge
summes
of
money
layd
out
by
the
State
and
Subiects
of
his
Kingdome
,
and
lent
to
the
Emp●rour
of
Muscovy
,
he
vndertooke
vpon
that
iust
quarrell
to
make
an
Inroad
vpon
the
adiacent
Dominions
of
that
potent
Emperour
,
and
taking
his
March
from
Finland
with
prosperous
successe
he
in
a
short
time
conquered
the
mighty
Province
of
Ingria
,
or
Ingerland
:
and
among
the
rest
hee
took
the
famous
strong
●ort
of
Kexholm
,
and
shortly
after
by
the
med●●tion
of
King
Iames
our
late
Soveraigne
concluded
a
Peace
betweene
himselfe
and
the
Emperour
of
Muscovy
vpon
very
good
and
honourable
Conditions
:
whereby
he
not
onely
held
that
Country
which
hee
had
seized
on
,
but
also
received
of
the
Moscovite
a
great
summe
of
money
for
his
expence
in
that
warr
.
So
that
now
hee
is
possessed
of
some
part
of
that
vast
Continent
of
Moscovia
,
whitherward
our
Tycho
Brahe
(
as
before
is
noted
)
would
seeme
to
extend
more
Easterly
the
poynt
designed
by
this
Calculation
.
And
consequently
if
(
supposing
,
but
not
graunting
)
we
should
stretch
the
foreinstanced
longitude
of
53
▪
into
this
border
of
Muscovy
,
then
may
we
thus
vnderstand
these
words
of
Tycho
,
inde
initia
mutationum
,
thence
or
from
that
place
shall
issue
out
the
beginnings
of
alterations
,
namely
,
that
other
alterations
shall
be
produced
in
other
places
and
regions
,
but
by
him
,
who
shall
very
there
in
Russia
make
the
Commencement
of
his
exploits
and
Conquests
.
For
that
footing
and
ground
gayned
there
may
well
be
accompted
the
first
stepp
to
his
greatnesse
,
a
quo
whence
,
and
Russia
the
place
both
in
quo
and
a
quo
where
,
and
whence
great
alterations
may
be
sayd
to
have
their
cruption
.
and
foundation
of
his
other
conquests
,
not
onely
in
order
of
time
,
but
also
in
the
inhabling
him
and
fleshing
his
hardy
Finlanders
for
further
vndertakings
.
About
the
beginning
of
the
yeare
1618.
he
entred
Livonia
against
the
Polonian
,
and
proceeded
in
that
invasion
so
prosperously
by
severall
conquests
,
in
divers
places
,
that
by
the
yeare
1624.
that
whole
countrey
was
made
subiect
vnto
him
.
About
the
yeare
1626.
he
entred
Prussia
,
and
surprised
the
Fort
of
Pelavia
,
at
once
making
himselfe
Master
of
all
the
trade
of
the
rich
Cities
of
Coningsberg
and
Elbing
:
With
this
small
force
he
marched
towards
Elbing
,
and
whilest
the
Burgers
of
that
Towne
were
treating
a
neutrality
with
his
Counsell
in
the
Tents
,
he
,
with
some
few
Musketers
attending
him
,
boldly
entred
the
city
,
which
with
feare
and
amazement
admitted
him
vpon
the
onely
command
of
his
word
,
and
confident
Maiesty
of
his
countenance
:
the
walls
thereof
being
at
that
instant
laden
with
armed
men
well
appoynted
for
defence
against
him
,
who
then
beholding
his
entrance
durst
not
discharge
a
bullet
,
or
make
any
other
resistance
against
him
.
This
City
he
made
his
Magazin
for
the
warr
,
and
departing
thence
he
took
the
great
Castle
of
Mariburg
,
being
the
seat
of
the
Teutonique
Order
of
Knighthood
.
Where
not
having
eight
thousand
foot
he
entrenched
himselfe
,
fighting
in
the
face
of
forty
thousand
Polonians
,
and
ten
thousand
Imperialls
:
and
so
tyred
and
wore
out
the
great
army
of
the
enemy
,
that
they
not
onely
by
the
mediation
of
our
dread
Soueraign
King
Charles
,
in
the
yere
1629
,
submitted
vnto
his
conditions
of
Peace
very
honorable
on
his
part
,
but
also
yeelded
vnto
him
a
great
part
of
that
Territory
of
Prussia
.
The
Emperour
hauing
thus
made
war
against
him
in
Prussia
,
and
oppressed
the
King
of
Denmark
,
the
Duke
of
Pomerania
,
&
Mechlenburg
,
and
the
King
of
Swedes
enemies
being
likely
to
make
themselues
Master
of
the
Baltique
Sea
,
not
only
to
his
ruine
,
but
also
to
the
endangering
of
Denmark
,
and
endammaging
of
Great
Britaine
and
Holland
,
the
King
of
Swedens
subiects
being
vniustly
spoiled
of
their
goods
,
and
forbid
comming
on
the
German
shore
to
trade
,
the
Towne
of
Stralsond
hauing
formerly
grieuously
complained
vnto
him
of
the
wrongs
and
danger
wherewith
they
were
encompassed
;
vpon
these
and
other
necessary
causes
(
as
by
his
published
Manifesto
may
appeare
)
he
entred
Germany
in
the
yeare
1630
,
and
took
from
the
invading
Imperials
the
Isle
of
Rugia
,
a
place
of
great
importance
,
which
serveth
him
for
a
safe
station
for
his
shipping
.
And
then
winning
a
strong
Fort
on
the
maine
land
(
on
purpose
by
the
oppressors
of
the
liberties
of
Germany
then
built
against
him
,
)
himself
landed
at
Stralsond
in
Iune
,
1630.
In
December
following
he
took
the
Townes
of
Griffenhagen
,
and
the
Fort
of
Gartz
in
the
face
of
the
enemies
Army
,
and
following
the
Victory
chased
the
Army
of
Walensteine
Duke
of
Frieland
,
which
having
possessed
the
Citty
of
Franckford
on
the
Oder
,
and
Lantz-bergh
,
he
took
the
one
by
assault
in
the
open
day
,
when
it
had
6000
old
Souldiers
in
Garrison
,
and
the
King
not
aboue
seven
thousand
to
attempt
it
.
From
thence
marching
without
delay
the
very
next
day
to
Lantzbergh
with
two
thousand
foot
and
a
thousand
horse
he
tooke
that
strong
passe
by
composition
yielding
to
him
vpon
the
onely
motiue
of
his
reputation
,
out
of
which
Marched
foure
thousand
foot
,
with
shame
and
astonishment
beholding
so
small
a
number
,
to
whom
they
had
yielded
themselues
.
In
this
present
yeare
1631.
the
defeat
given
by
him
(
ioyning
with
the
Duke
of
Saxony
)
in
open
field
and
pitched
Campe
,
may
bee
called
the
downe
weight
of
his
valour
,
casting
on
his
side
the
ballance
of
predominant
successe
:
which
was
atchieved
vpon
the
seuenth
of
September
last
neere
Lipsich
in
Saxony
,
in
a
field
called
Godsacre
,
being
the

tooke

devesting
thereupon

of
his
Duchy

;
which
is
now

;
the

being
hotly
charged
by
Tilly
,
left
him
elbowroom
in
the
field
together
with
three
of
the
Saxon
Regiments
that
stood
to
it
.
And
so
the
King
hauing
now
not
aboue
18000
fighting
men
,
set
couragiously
vpon
Tilly
,
putting
him
to
flight
,
entred
vpon
his
Ordnance
,
Wagons
,
and
Tents
as
they
stood
furnished
with
meat
vpon
the
Tables
prepared
by
them
,
who
now
had
no
list
to
returne
to
that
Supper
,
but
rather
left
it
to
those
for
whom
God
had
provided
it
.
The
flying
enemy
was
shrowded
by
the
black
mantle
of
the
night
,
so
that
the
conquering
King
could
not
further
pursue
his
Victory
till
the
next
morning
,
when
drawing
out
a
thousand
horse
he
in
person
followed
them
eight
Dutch
myles
,
cutting
off
1000
of
the
foot
,
and
taking
prisoners
3000
more
.
The
losse
on
Tyllies
part
is
esteemed
at
18000
,
whereof
slaine
8000
,
and
taken
prisoners
10000.
The
losse
on
the
other
part
not
aboue
1200
men
as
by
the
more
strange
&
truer
Computation
is
avowed

Motto

I
think
more
foreboading
coniecture
might
haue
been
made
out
of
the
vnequall
counterpoise
between
these
two
tutelary
Patrons
or
protectors
,
then
out
of
the
auspicious
flying
of
a
great
troop
of
birds
in
that
field
,
by
some
observed
vpon
that
very
morning
,
instantly
before
the
Armies
set
vp
their

in
the
place
,
namely
overflying
the

by
the
lucky
and
prosperous
flying
of
birds
,
and
in
that
sence
may
this
victory
be
called
augusta
,
though
contra
ipsum
Augustum
in
his
principall
commander
of
his
forces
defeated
,
and
ruined
.
Some
haue
obserued
the
symbolizing
and
easy
transmutation
between
the
names
Augustus
and
Gustavus
,
inferring
thence
that
whereby
his
friends
would
heap
vpon
him
more
glory
,
and
perhaps
his
enemies
more
envy
.
But
those
that
looke
vp
higher
to
reade
Characters
written
in
the
Heauens
,
and
guilded
with
the
beames
of
new
Stars
,
will
not
so
low
,
and
vpon
so
light
ground
,
as
Anagrams
are
,
lay
the
foundation
of
predictions
:
and
therfore
neither
will
we
insist
vpon
that
menacing
sentence
,
Te
debellabit
aversus
DEVS
,
denoting
the
SVED
.
And
because
the
late
coniunction
and
association
between
him
and
the
Duke
of
Saxony
,
hath
bin
&
is
a
strong
means
of
the
late
further
growth
of
his
strength
and
progress
in
Victories
,
it
is
here
to
be
obserued
and
accounted
no
small
part
of
the
fore-spoken
alterations
,
that
the
said
Duke
,
(
formerly
being
a
kind
of
dormant
Neutral
,
&
therby
giving
way
to
the
encroachments
of
the
enemy
)
is
now
awaked
,
&
not
only
seeth
the
danger
whereunto
the
Liberties
of
Germany
were
cast
,
but
also
reacheth
forth
his
helping
hand
and
ingageth
his
strength
toward
the
recovery
of
the
ancient
&
iust
Liberties
,
therin
commenting
by
action
vpon
the
Prognosticall
speculations
written
about
sixty
yeares
agoe
by
Paulus
Grebnerus
,
a
man
of
the
same
Astronomicall
profession
with
our
Tycho
Brah●
;
but
what
authoritie
or
reputation
his
writings
deserue
,
I
leaue
to
the
iudgment
of
others
Penes
authorem

This
Grebner
wrote
a
l●rge
book
of
predictions
which
he
is
said
to
have
given
to
Queen
Elizabeth
,
our
late
Soveraigne
of
blessed
memory
.
The
originall
wherof
written
by
the
hand
of
the
Author
,
was
by
the
worthy
and
Reuerend
Doctor
Nevil
giuen
and
put
into
the
Library
of
●rinitie
Colledge
in
Cambridge
,
whereof
hee
was
Master
,
and
a
most
generous
and
edifying
Benefactor
vnto
it
.
In
the
261
page
of
that
Book
he
thus
,
Bohemia

What
revolt
of
Bohemia
may
here
be
intended
,
let
others
make
construction
:
but
sure
this
present
Duke
of
Saxony
being
now
himselfe
a
grand
agent
both
in
opposing
Tilly
,
and
also
since
that
in
vnyoaking
the
chiefe
City
Prague
,
with
other
Townes
in
Bohemia
,
demonstrateth
that
he
hath
recovered
the
right
vse
of
his
eyes
,
by
casting
away
those
false
Spectacles
,
which
were
put
vpon
his
nose
by
some
cunning
hand
.
Out
of
this
Grebner
diverse
other
parcells
haue
bin
transcribed
and
much
enquired
after
,
as
applyable
to
these
times
and
to
the
mutations
present
or
probably
expected
in
Germany
and
other
countreys
.
But
I
forbeare
inserting
them
,
because
they
conteine
confused
and
ambiguous
matter
,
and
may
happily
seeme
as
well
to
poynt
at
other
times
,
Whilest
these
things
are
vnder
the
pen
,
the
further
processe
of
his
victories
comes
to
our
eares
,
and
,
among
the
rest
,
his
entring
of
Franc●ford
vpon
the
Mein
being
the
chiefest
Mart-town
of
Europe
,
and
the
seat
of
the
Crowne
of
the
Emperor
.
Which
Towne
he
rather
won
by
loue
,
and
respect
to
his
honour
,
then
subdued
by
force
;
The
gates
whereof
willingly
opening
to
admit
him
,
he
made
entrance
thereinto
the
seventeeth
of
November
,
Through
which
Towne
he
passed
with
all
his
army
in
aray
;
but
with
so
good
order
and
discipline
,
without
violence
or
wrong
to
any
of
the
inhabitants
,
that
it
seemed
rather
a
pomp
of
a
natiue
King
,
then
an
enforcement
by
a
foreiner
.
Of
this
,
and
the
like
his
seisures
,
or
entries
into
the
many
other
yeilding
cities
and
townes
it
may
be
said
,
that
he
speaketh
by
action
,
what
formerly
was
vttered
by
the
pen
of
one
of
his
predecessors
,
Theoderick
King
of
the
Gothes
(
&
sharer
in
Roman
Empire
with
Iustinian
)
He
in
one
of
his
Rescripts
,
or
letters
Missiue
thus
,
Add
we
hereunto
,
for
conclusion
of
this
present
application
,
the
happy
protection
which
hath
accompanied
him
in
the
midds
of
extreame
dangers
,
which
argueth
that
the
hand
of
Gods
providence
hath
both
appointed
&
safe
conducted
him
to
become
an
instrument
of
great
mutations
in
melius
for
the
bettering
the
estate
of
some
parts
of
Christendome
.
Warfare
is
to
all
militant
men
a
perpetuall
contexture
of
the
netts
of
danger
,
but
most
to
Princes
vndertaking
in
person
:
With
this
enemy
hath
this
King
often
grappled
.
First
in
the
ru●iments
of
his
prowesse
,
and
budd
of
his
strength
,
when
he
was
but
seventeene
yeares
old
,
in
the
warrs
between
his
father
and
the
King
of
Denmarke
he
was
hard
put
to
it
,
fighting
vpon
the
yce
,
when
he
very
hardly
escaped
drowning
:
and
being
then
put
to
the
worse
,
hath
made
good
that
observation
of
an
ancient
warrier
,
that
none
can
be
a
good
leader
in
the
warrs
that
hath
not
sometime
bin
well
beaten
by
the
enemy
.
This
hans●ll
therefore
may
well
be
accounted
the
apprentisage
of
hardship
to
him
.
Some
of
the
Indian
people
distinguish
their
Noble
from
the
Vulgar
by
raced
marks
and
figures
imprinted
in
the
skin
;
Surely
more
proper
markes
of
noblenesse
in
warriours
are
the
scarrs
of
wounds
casually
inscribed
on
the
body
.
Namque
The
badge
of
this
acquired
honour
this
King
beareth
in
his
Royall
limbs
,
peirced
with
shot
more
then
once
:
such
rude
messengers
from
the
enemy
hauing
dared
to
make
forcible
entry
in
his
belly
,
and
shoulder
,
where
they
yet
continue
their
lodging
,
and
haue
the
honor
to
enter
with
him
into
many
a
surprised
or
yeilding
City
and
Castle
,
like
the
dull
bittle
,
that
mounted
high
by
cleaving
to
the
Eagles
wing
.
These
vneasie
guests
cannot
by
their
gravity
slack
his
Martial
motion
,
but
rather
by
the
sense
of
them
add
a
spur
to
his
valour
,
and
more
force
to
the
bullets
,
which
he
sendeth
back
in
requitall
.
In
his
warrs
in
Prussia
at
Darsaw
he
was
surprised
by
some
that
issued
out
from
an
ambuscado
,
and
so
twice
within
a
few
houres
fell
into
the
hand
of
the
enemy
:
and
was
again
as
often
rescued
by
his
owne
,
partly
valor
,
partly
ingenious
and
nimble
sleight
,
as
also
by
the
casual
approach
&
assistance
of
one
of
his
souldiers
,
by
whom
,
for
concealment
of
his
person
,
he
was
in
the
action
called
Brother
.
And
this
souldier
presently
after
being
himselfe
taken
by
the
enemy
,
was
by
the
Kings
owne
hand
mutually
rescued
:
who
thereupon
by
the
rescuing
King
was
saluted
in
these
friendly
words
,
Quit
brother
,
now
you
and
I
are
euen
.
Of
which
accid●nt
may
be
made
this
typical
construction
,
that
he
is
ordeined
to
relieue
those
that
defend
and
assist
him
:
and
that
his
abiding
the
adventure
of
captiuity
,
tendeth
to
the
redeeming
of
others
out
of
bondage
.
Moreouer
,
in
this
or
some
other
conflict
audacious
danger
aspired
so
high
,
as
to
strike
at
his
head
:
but
missing
the
ayme
it
hit
his
Hat
:
which
being
stricken
off
it
came
into
the
hand
of
the
enemy
,
and
being
knowne
,
was
afterward
sent
to
Vienna
the
chiefe
City
in
Austria
,
and
receiued
there
with
ioy
and
congratulation
,
as
a
Trophey
of
victory
against
him
,
and
pledge
of
fu●ure
getting
the
head
that
wore
it
.
Quo

Turnus
ovat

gaudetque
potitus
.
When
Turnus
gat
young
Pallas
in
his
power
,
That
Hat
is
like
to
be
purchased
at
a
dearer
rate
,
then
some
Kings
have
sold
their
Crownes
.
Ille

Exuviasque
The
bloud
of
heroical
Aeneas
boyled
at
the
triumphant
possession
of
a
piece
of
furniture
surprised
from
,
not
himselfe
,
but
his
friend
;
not
living
,
but
slain
;
How
much
more
may
a
generous
victorious
Spirit
resolute
by
strong
hand
and
Martiall
inroad
to
recover
that
vpper
couerture
of
his
owne
head
?
It
hath
bin
reported
that
thence
it
is
transported
into
Italy
,
and
bestowed
on
the
wooden
Lady
of
Loretto
,
for
whose
weare
it
is
as
fit
,
as
the
Gowne
bequeathed
to
her
by
that
Father
of
Critiques
,
of
whom
it
is
fitly
said
,
that
Criticus
virilem
Virgini
togam
legans
In
morte
fecit
Lipsius
soloecismum
.
A
dying
Latinist
of
great
renowne
Vnto
the
Virgin
Mary
gave
his
Gowne
.
And
was
not
this
false
Latine
so
to
joyne
With
Female
gender
that
case
Masculine
?
But
now
leaving
this
digression
concerning
his
Hat
,
and
returning
to
the
Crowned
head
that
wore
it
,
we
referr
to
the
contemplation
of
iudicious
men
,
whether
a
man
thus
armed
with
protection
for
escape
of
many
more
capitall
hazards
,
then
here
are
,
or
can
be
,
recited
,
admired
vnto
astonishment
for
his
great
&
sudden
Victories
beloved
for
his
virtues
both
Christian
,
Morall
,
&
Military
,
iustly
stiled
the
releever
of
the
wronged
,
and
restorer
of
oppressed
Princes
&
Liberties
,
concurring
so
neere
in
time
and
place
with
this
fore-described
Celestiall
calculation
,
be
not
to
be
accounted
that
Stellae
filius
,
&
aureus
Coeli
partus
,
the
child
of
that
priviledged
Starr
,
and
the
golden
issue
of
Heaven
,
glittering
with
the
beames
of
high
attempts
&
matchlesse
Honour
.
Do
not
these
present
alterations
make
way
to
a
fuller
accomplishment
in
the
time
now
by
computation
approaching
,
namely
the
yeare
1632.
and
the
yeares
instantly
following
after
the
same
?
wherein
may
be
made
good
not
only
the
generall
predictions
of
our
Astronomer
,
but
also
in
particular
(
among
other
redresses
befitting
this
Conquerors
greatnesse
,
and
goodnesse
)
the
restitution
of
some
other
devested
and
deiected
Princes
to
their
natiue
dignity
,
and
vndoubted
inheritance
.
But
(
may
some
say
)
do
all
the
hopes
or
feares
of
the
future
successe
of
these
great
alterations
depend
vpon
the
weak
string
of
such
Apparitions
,
whose
activity
in
such
events
perhaps
is
either
none
at
all
,
or
vtterly
vnsearchable
by
the
witt
of
man
?
And
if
searchable
,
why
not
rather
fetched
from
some
later
Comets
or
pretending
Starrs
,
which
since
this
haue
appeared
within
our
Horizon
?
As
for
the
operation
,
or
portending
signification
of
superior
lights
,
(
whatsoever
doubt
may
be
made
of
the
ordinary
lamps
of
heaven
,
and
the
aspects
resulting
out
of
their
regular
motions
)
it
cannot
be
denyed
but
that
extraordinary
wonderous
visibles
may
haue
,
and
haue
had
their
attendant
significations
.
I
will
shew
wonders
in
the
heauens
and
in
the
earth
,
partly
of
that
flaming
sword-like
Comet
,
that
appeared
,
as
a
forewarner
of
the
destruction
of
Ierusalem
.
Sutably
hereto
why
may
not
some
significant
power
bee
graunted
to
this
high
heauenly
,
more
then
ordinary
,
spectacle
?
Why
not
thence
modest
,
and
sober
collection
,
and
probable
inference
be
made
?
The
principles
whereof
,
and
manner
of
deduction
from
them
are
not
here
suppressed
,
but
,
according
to
our
authors
processe
,
layed
out
fairely
aboue
board
:
To
which
way
of
inference
the
Christian
Reader
may
affoard
what
parcell
of
credit
hee
shall
thinke
fit
to
meat
out
by
the
rule
of
piety
,
and
liberty
of
opinion
.
Valeat
vt
valere
poterit
.
Let
it
float
as
farr
as
this
water
will
beare
it
.
Lastly
concerning
other
later
Comets
,
or
appearing
starrs
,
it
may
truely
be
avowed
,
that
among
them
all
none
was
so
remarkeable
for
height
,
bignes
,
and
lustre
,
all
concurring
,
as
this
the
elder
brother
and
Captaine
of
them
:
in
comparison
whereto
they
may
be
content
to
be
called
,
as
puisnees
,
and
afterlings
,
so
also
minorum
gentium
,
petits
of
a
lower
forme
.
Diverse
of
them
were
obserued
by
our
Tycho
in
his
life
time
,
and
surnamed
by
him
rather
Comets
,
then
starrs
.
But
this
especially
he
iudged
to
be
forespoken
of
by
one
of
the
Sibylls
in
that
prediction
,
In
regard
of
the
heauens
the
seat
of
this
admirable
starr
(
whereof
wee
haue
treated
)
is
evidently
domus
Septentrionis
,
being
in
Cassiopeia
,
not
aboue
eighteene
degrees
distant
from
the
North-pole
:
to
which
neernesse
none
of
the
later
did
approach
:
and
in
respect
of
the
subiect
place
in
the
earth
,
correspondent
thereto
,
that
tract
,
wherof
formerly
we
haue
discoursed
,
is
by
as
good
right
magna
domus
Septentrionis
,
the
great
house
of
the
North.
It
befits
not
(
nor
is
it
easie
)
to
determine
who
are
these
Iberi
,
and
accordingly
how
supra
may
be
diversly
construed
,
nor
what
is
meant
by
the
other
words
of
Sibyll
,
Eodem
fere
tempore
,
hoc
demorso
sydere
,
coaevum
quoddam
eious
loumen
longe
ardentioribous
Mavortis
ignibus
exardescens
Antipodum
finibus
occludet
Imperium
.
But
vndoubtedly
in
this
Sibylline
prediction
must
be
intended
(
as
the
following
parts
shew
)
not
so
much
(
or
not
onely
)
portentum
coeleste
,
a
bright
visible
in
the
heaven
,
as
Stella
Moralis
a
radiant
,
admirable
,
potent
atcheiver
on
the
earth
.
Which
who
,
what
,
when
,
or
where
he
is
,
or
shal
be
is
certainely
knowne
onely
Stellarum
domino
,
stellificique
Deo
.
to
him
that
framed
this
new
great
light
in
the
heavens
,
and
ordained
the
same
vnto
ends
best
knowne
to
his
heavenly
Wisedome
.
Prase
him
all
ye
Starrs
,
