THE
COPIE
OF
A

Nouo

THE
great
wonders
wee
see
in
these
our
Times
,
presse
me
to
impart
the
same
to
you
,
that
you
may
bee
truely
informed
what
hath
hapned
in
the
City
of
Millaine
,
within
this
fortnight
:
whereof
I
will
set
downe
nothing
,
but
what
I
haue
seene
with
my
owne
eyes
.
On
the
sixt
of
this
instant
Moneth
of
September
,
here
appeared
a
Spirit
(
for
so
I
must
call
him
)
that
tooke
vpon
him
a
humane
shape
,
which
calles
himselfe
Prince
Mammon
,
he
seemes
to
bee
about
the
age
of
fifty
yeares
,
he
weares
his
beard
very
long
and
square
cut
,
hee
is
neyther
leane
nor
fat
,
great
nor
little
,
high
nor
low
,
the
colour
of
his
skinne
is
neyther
white
nor
blacke
,
but
is
a
man
of
a
midling
stature
,
and
of
a
very
cleare
complexion
.
At
his
entrance
into
the
City
,
hee
appeared
in
a
very
faire
Caroach
of
greene
Veluet
,
embrodered
within
and
without
with
Gold
,
Pearle
,
and
precious
Stones
;
which
Caroach
was
drawne
with
sixe
such
Horses
,
as
nature
neuer
flamed
goodlier
Creatures
,
all
trapped
with
rich
imbrodered
Harnesse
,
suteable
to
the
Caroach
;
hee
was
attended
with
sixeteene
Footmen
,
young
,
proper
,
and
beardlesse
,
who
with
the
Coachman
and
postilian
were
all
suted
in
Liueries
of
greene
Veluet
,
imbrodered
with
Gold
,
Pearle●s
and
precious
Stones
,
sutable
to
the
Caroach
&
Horses
.
The
Horses
seemed
like
Turkish
lennets
,
and
were
of
such
a
composure
for
colour
,
and
shape
so
vndescriable
for
curiosity
,
that
there
was
no
imperfection
to
be
found
in
them
;
because
,
when
so
many
excellencies
meet
together
,
they
make
a
thing
Supernatural
.
This
Spirit
thus
humanized
,
rode
through
the
City
,
in
the
State
and
Equipage
of
an
Embassadour
,
in
a
slow
motion
,
till
he
came
to
a
goodly
Palace
of
the
Earle
Triuolehet
,
which
is
soitua●e
in
the
Romane
Street
,
where
he
commanded
his
Caroach
to
stay
,
and
finding
the
doores
thereof
fast
barred
vp
with
lockes
and
,
iron
bo●ts
(
the
said
Earle
hauing
left
his
sayd
House
,
for
feare
of
the
infection
of
the
Plague
)
he
commanded
his
Servants
to
enter
,
but
being
told
the
doores
were
fast
,
he
alighted
,
and
came
to
the
doores
,
and
immediately
without
any
violence
the
doores
fl●w
open
,
and
he
entred
,
and
furnished
the
same
House
with
fourty
Beds
,
for
himselfe
and
his
retinue
,
where
hee
gaue
great
entertainment
to
all
that
came
,
and
cured
all
diseases
;
but
especially
the
Plague
,
which
at
this
time
rageth
very
sore
in
this
place
.
He
can
transforme
his
shape
at
his
pleasure
,
and
day
and
night
he
trauaileth
through
this
City
:
And
when
he
visits
the
Soke
,
he
asketh
them
,
whether
they
will
be
healed
,
and
doe
such
things
as
he
shall
require
of
them
to
doe
:
if
they
say
they
will
,
he
heales
them
immediately
,
but
if
they
refuse
,
or
sticke
at
the
motion
,
he
strikes
them
with
a
Rod
that
he
hath
in
his
hand
,
and
the
party
so
strucke
dyeth
presently
,
as
it
hath
happened
to
many
in
this
City
.
This
being
knowne
to
the
State
,
they
consult
with
the
Prelates
;
namely
,
the
Cardinall
and
Bishop
of
this
Diocesse
,
and
when
the
Senate
of
the
Clergy
had
attempted
all
wayes
,
both
Spirituall
,
and
Temporall
,
that
could
be
imagined
,
for
the
chasing
hence
of
this
Fury
,
and
could
not
doe
it
:
at
the
last
they
concluded
,
that
it
was
the
will
and
pleasure
of
the
Almighty
God
,
to
permit
and
suffer
him
to
be
there
;
for
this
I
know
,
that
after
they
had
sent
the
Marshall
with
200
men
,
well
furnished
with
Pistols
,
and
other
munition
to
apprehend
him
,
imagining
him
●o
,
be
some
Witch
,
or
such
like
Impostor
,
he
suffered
himselfe
to
be
attached
and
carryed
to
the
Prison
gate
,
where
he
made
himselfe
inuisible
,
and
so
got
out
of
the
Officers
hands
,
and
shortly
after
,
he
was
found
at
his
Palace
,
feasting
&
entertaining
such
as
came
to
him
▪
Moreouer
I
heard
,
that
hereupon
the
Cardinal
with
the
consent
of
the
rest
of
the
Clergy
,
determined
to
summon
him
to
the
Cathedrall
Church
of
the
City
,
to
,
giue
an
accompt
to
them
,
what
he
intended
there
to
doe
:
which
Summons
was
giuen
on
the
Friday
fortnight
after
his
appearing
in
the
Ci●y
,
as
he
was
riding
in
his
Caroach
;
vnto
which
Summons
he
did
yeeld
obedience
,
but
with
this
Prouiso
that
the
said
Cathedrall
might
be
adorned
in
sitting
manner
,
to
receiue
a
Prince
of
his
Honour
and
Dignity
:
for
(
as
he
affirmed
)
he
was
a
Prince
or
15.
Legions
,
whereupon
there
was
prepared
to
receiue
him
,
a
Sumptuous
Cloth
of
Estate
,
with
Chayres
a●d
Cushions
su●●able
,
and
vnder
his
feete
was
layd
a
curious
Carpet
of
Tapestrie
:
wrought
with
silke
and
gold
.
The
night
of
lowing
his
,
Summons
,
and
preceding
his
Appearance
,
he
seemed
to
scatter
much
Dust
in
the
said
Cathedrall
,
and
in
the
Greeke
Street
,
where
he
knew
the
most
of
the
People
of
the
City
would
be
,
by
which
meanes
it
is
conceiued
▪
that
a
great
number
of
the
people
were
infected
;
for
the
next
day
following
,
there
dyed
of
the
Plague
between
6.
and
7000.
of
this
City
;
but
at
the
time
prefixed
,
he
being
come
vnto
the
Cathedrall
,
where
all
the
learned
of
the
City
were
assembled
,
he
was
interrogated
,
and
vnto
foure
of
their
Que●tions
he
made
direct
Answeres
.
But
then
said
,
it
was
Noblenesse
,
and
Prince
like
to
vouchsafe
to
answer
,
and
therefore
of
his
Benignity
and
humane
Clemency
,
he
had
answered
accordingly
;
but
said
he
would
not
further
answer
them
,
vnlesse
with
more
;
and
greater
authority
he
were
compelled
thereunto
.
Whereupon
a
Post
is
dispatched
for
Rome
,
that
the
Popes
Authority
may
be
had
.
But
after
they
had
stayed
all
further
questioning
of
him
:
voluntarily
,
and
of
his
owne
accord
,
he
fell
vpon
a
serious
discourse
of
the
high
misteries
of
the
most
sacred
Trinity
,
deliuering
such
truthes
thereof
,
as
their
owne
Iudgments
and
vnderstandings
could
not
chuse
but
ratifie
,
wherein
he
shewed
such
great
learning
,
that
all
that
were
present
,
and
could
not
vnderstand
him
,
stood
amazed
and
astonished
to
heare
him
:
Which
discourse
when
he
had
ended
,
hee
tooke
a
sollemne
leaue
,
and
weekely
departed
to
his
Pallace
,
aforesayd
.
By
which
time
the
Earle
●riuoleheos
,
hearing
how
his
house
was
entred
,
returned
thither
full
of
indignation
,
but
when
he
came
in
presence
of
the
Prince
,
he
was
strucken
with
such
awe
and
reuerence
,
that
his
anger
turned
into
Courtly
Complement
,
saying
▪
hee
was
infinitely
bound
vnto
his
Highnesse
,
that
he
had
so
honored
him
,
as
to
make
vse
of
so
meane
a
Cottage
to
bee
his
receptacle
:
Whereto
the
Prince
rep●ied
,
that
hee
would
not
proue
vngratefull
,
and
there
with
tooke
a
Viall
of
cleare
water
out
of
his
pocket
,
and
said
to
the
Earle
,
I
giue
this
liquor
to
your
Honor
,
which
you
must
esteeme
as
deere
as
your
owne
life
,
the
vertue
where
of
,
is
this
;
that
if
you
take
a
drain
thereof
in
pure
wine
euery
morning
fasting
,
neither
you
,
nor
your
Court
,
shall
be
in
any
danger
of
the
infection
of
the
Plague
,
but
may
without
feare
lay
your
hand
vpon
a
running
sore
.
We
shortly
expect
the
returne
of
the
Popes
Authority
,
which
wee
beleeue
will
be
here
with
the
next
Post
,
and
after
that
I
shall
enforme
you
of
many
,
and
almost
incredible
things
:
the
Prince
continues
both
night
and
day
passing
through
all
the
parts
of
the
City
,
at
his
plesure
:
he
spends
liberally
,
and
eates
and
drinkes
plentifully
,
and
when
he
will
,
he
can
,
and
doth
goe
inuisibly
,
and
when
hee
thinkes
good
,
resumes
his
humane
shape
.
I
haue
many
things
to
write
vnto
you
,
which
I
am
forced
to
omit
,
vntill
the
next
Post
,
and
in
the
meane
time
I
kisse
your
hands
.

Greeting

Know
ye
that
we
haue
bin
giuen
to
vnderstand
,
by
persons
zealous
of
the
seruice
of
God
,
and
of
vs
,
that
certaine
enemies
of
Mankind
doe
conspire
how
to
sow
and
disperse
those
powders
or
dust
here
,
which
hath
caused
so

a
pestilence
in
the
State
of
Millain
,
&
in
other
States
allyed
in

to

markes
be
in
the
power
or
custody
of

and
of

Gouernour
of
our
Counsell

And
because
so
enormous
and
horible
a
crime
could
not
be
intended
nor
executed
by
any
but
by
such
as
hauing
giuen
themselues
to
the
Diuell
,
doe
endeauour
to
destroy
the
whole
race
of
Mankinde
;
and
seeing
it
is
iust
,
that
they
haue
condigne
punishment
,
if
temporall
torments
may
suffice
for
so
hainons
and
exorbitant
a
crime
.
And
because
it
is
agreeable
to
the
seruice
of
God
and
of
vs
,
as
a
thing
so
important
for
the
good
of

,
to
vse
all
meanes
for

out
of

the
sayd
crime
,
and
for
their
apprehension
,
so
that
no
man
may
hide
or
conceale
them
;
by
the
deliberate

of

it
was
agreed
,
that
wee
should
send

The
Gouernours
sonne
of
Millain
was
apprehended
,
whom
the
aforesayd
Barber
Mora
confessed
to
be
one
of
their
complices
,
whereupon
he
was
committed
to
safe
keeping
with
a
guard

Since
it
is

that
hee
was
secretly
made

giues
accompt
thereof
to
the
Senate
Much
diligence
is
vsed
and
with
great
secrecy
in
the
aforesayd
matter
,
thereby
to
preuent
it
from
their
complices
notice
what
they
are
;
because
they
are
of
seueral
Nations
.
It
is
imagined
that
there
will
be
a
great
and
severe
execution
.
Also
it
is
reported
that
now
there
is
no
Iustice
in
Millain
Superiour
or
Inferiour
.
The
Gouernours
sonne
aboue
mentioned
Charles
Rose
Knight
of
the
Order
of
St.
Iohn
,
a
Spaniard
,
Nephew
to
the
President
of
the
Contration
in
Sivill
,
is
sayd
to
haue
got
away
and
fled
to
Rome
,
with
20
others
of
the
complices
,
and
that
the
Pope
deliuered
him
to
the
Millanesses
,
and
that
they
did
expect
him
in
Millain
hourely
.
But
this
of
his
taking
in
Rome
is
contradicted
,
and
it
is
reported
that
he
and
his
companions
escaped
thence
,
and
tooke
their
iourney
for
Spaine
,
so
that
now
in
Madred
great
vigilancy
and
search
is
made
to
apprehend
them
.
Before
the
execution
of
the
aforesayd
Plateo
and
Mora
,
the
complices
had
intended
to
vndermine
the
prison
,
with
a
determination
to
haue
blowne
vp
their
infernall
fraternity
to
preuent
their
discouery
.
But
the
Mine
was
discouered
,
and
their
proiect
frustrated
,
and
diuers
of
them
apprehended
.
Also
,
before
the
execution
of
the
aforesayd
,
they
were
demanded
by
the
Iustices
and
Churchmen
,
what
preseruatiue
they
had
to
defend
themselues
from
infection
,
and
if
they
could
make
an
Antidote
against
it
.
They
answered
that
nothing
could
bee
inuented
of
efficacy
sufficient
to
withstand
the
opperation
of
that
pestiferous
oyntment
,
and
powder
:
for
that
it
was
made
by
direction
of
the
Diuell
.
There
is
prisoner
a
Master
and
treasurer
of
the
banke
,
for
hauing
paid
aboue
100000.
ducats
,
to
seuerall
persons
,
who
were
hired
to
disperse
the
infection
with
the
oyntment
and
powder
.
The
aforesaid
executed
persons
likewise
declared
,
that
whosoeuer
did
once
receiue
money
to
disperse
this
contagious
venome
,
cannot
abstaine
from
putting
it
in
practise
vpon
euery
one
he
meets
,
yea
euen
his
owne
Father
,
For
this
is
the
Compact
they
haue
made
with
the
Deuill
,
and
in
the
performance
thereof
,
stands
their
owne
defence
or
Antidote
,
against
the
operation
of
the
contagion
against
themselues
.
They
haue
asked
licence
of
the
Commissioners
of
the
Inquisition
,
to
make
a
preseruatiue
for
the
City
by
Magicke
Art
,
but
was
not
granted
.
At
a
solemne
Procession
which
they
made
in
Millaine
with
great
Deuotion
,
thereby
to
appease
the
wrath
of
God
(
as
sayth
the
originall
)
and
that
hee
would
vouchsafe
to
deliuer
the
City
from
so
great
a
danger
,
the
Delinquents
strowed
their
Pestiferous
powders
about
the
streets
,
so
that
there
dyed
vpon
that
occasion
aboue
10000
persons
.
They
haue
brought
to
Millaine
horse-loades
of
these
powders
,
and
at
the
entry
of
the
gates
,
and
to
passe
them
by
the
custome
house
,
they
did
enter
them
for
gold
wyer
,
and
for
such
paid

and
past
cleare

These
pestiferous
powders
,
are
said
to
bee
made
with
Inuocation
of
the
Deuill
,
who
hath
written
vpon
the
gate
of
the
Presidents
house
in
great
letters
,
Doe
what
thou
caust
,
for
by
the
day
of
Saint
Michaell
there
will
bee
few
people
left
.
Those
that
spread
the
contagion
in
Millaine
,
carry
about
them
little
bottles
of
their
pestilent
powders
,
and
all
those
they
can
come
at

and
vpon
whomsoeuer
it
falles
onely
vpon

infected
and
dyeth

so
that
in
Millain
it
is
prohibited
to

cloakes
,
or

,
because
if
they
touch
it
,
but
with
the
hemme
of
a
cloake
,
or
a
long
garment
,
they
dye
.
There

haue
all
receiued

imployed
in

this
abominable

infernali
act

of
them
increaseth
daily

In
