THE
FVNERALL
Pompe
of
GVSTAVUS
ADOLPHUS
.
THe
fifteenth
of
Iuly
last
,
being
the
day
immediately
foregoing
that
Funerall
Pompe
,
in
which
the
Hearse
of
GVSTAVUS
ADOLPHVS
the
late
glorious
King
of
Sweden
,
was
remooved
from
Vbolgast
to
the
Sea
side
,
to
bee
so
transported
into
his
owne
Kingdome
,
by
the
Queene
his
Widow
,
a
prodigious
apparition
of
the
Moone
happened
.
The
Carryer
or
Post
of
Argentine
,
was
travelling
by
Night
with
three
more
in
his
company
,
of
whom
one
was
a
man
of
quality
a
Doctor
of
Physicke
,
and
Mathematician
;
about
nine
of
the
clocke
they
were
neere
to
a
Village
called
Eintritt
.
The
Moone
was
then
in
her
Wane
,
and
grew
horned
(
for
it
was
foure
dayes
after
the
full
)
at
which
as
they
were
looking
,
they
perfectly
discerned
another
little
Moone
,
mooving
up
and
down
with
various
motions
,
about
the
upper
horne
of
the
true
Moone
.
At
last
they
joyned
together
;
from
which
conjunction
,
a
cleere
and
perfect
circular
figure
was
made
,
as
if
the
Moone
had
then
shined
in
her
full
.
But
long
it
continued
not
in
that
forme
,
but
changed
into
the
shape
of
a
mans
head
▪
At
which
whilest
they
gazed
with
wonder
,
they
began
to
know
the
face
of
the
late
King
GVSTAVUS
ADOLPHVS
.
In
that
forme
,
the
Moone
continued
about
a
quarter
of
an
houre
before
shee
tooke
her
owne
shape
againe
,
that
they
might
perfectly
discover
(
not
without
feare
and
astonishment
)
the
Kings
head
,
with
all
the
true
lineaments
of
his
face
,
and
figure
of
his
beard
and
hayre
.
From
this
portentuous
apparition
of
the
Moone
,
were
divers
opinions
and
discourses
raysed
among
the
people
.
Some
remembred
a
propheticke
speech
which
the
K
of
Swethland
,
whilest
living
,
was
heard
to
make
,
that
after
he
was
dead
,
his
Armies
would
continue
victorious
,
and
from
thence
a
fame
would
be
raysed
,
that
he
himselfe
was
living
,
and
his
death
for
a
long
time
not
bee
generally
believed
,
Others
began
to
make
a
Religious
praediction
of
it
;
and
comparing
the
Christian
Church
to
the
true
Moone
(
because
the
Church
in
all
ages
,
like
the
Moones
,
has
had
increases
&
decreases
)
and
knowing
that
the
Turkish
Empire
has
borne
for
theyr
Armes
the
Moone
,
they
compared
that
to
the
false
Moone
,
which
they
had
seene
to
move
about
the
horne
of
the
true
Moone
,
and
from
that
conjunction
of
them
they
prophesied
,
That
God
would
in
mercy
cal
the
Turks
and
joyne
them
shortly
to
his
owne
true
Christian
Church
.
The
day
following
,
being
the
sixteenth
of
Iuly
,
the
King
of
Swethlands
Funerall
,
whose
Hearse
had
long
remayned
in
the
Castle
of
Vbolgast
,
was
removed
,
to
be
transported
into
Swethland
.
The
Solemnity
was
in
manner
following
;
In
the
afternoone
,
Doctor
IACOBVS
FABRITIVS
the
King
his
Chapleyne
,
made
a
Funerall
Sermon
in
the
Chappell
of
the
Castle
of
Vbolgast
(
where
the
Hearse
stood
.
His
Text

the

these
;

off
