Here
I
thought
good
to

aboute
this

liuing

of

who
in

,
was
surely
a
man
,
but
his
body
bewrayed
him
to
bée
most
monstrous
and
deformed
,
for
he
bare
the
shape
of
a
man
from
the
girdle
vpwarde
,
but
downewarde
he
resembled
a

:
It
is
written
that
he
lyued

and
that
he
reuiued

after
he
came
into
the
lande
called
Sinhar

there
determined
to
builde
a

,
he
layde
the
foundation

lyke
to
the

But

destroyed
this

In

as
they
went
from

they
found
a

there
they

And
they
said
one
to

,
Come

So
they
had

But
the
Lord
came
downe

to
see
the

,
which
the
sonnes
of

builded
.
And
the
Lord
said
,
behold
the

they
al

&
this
they
begin

So
the
Lorde
scattered
them
from
thence
vpon
all

earth
,
and
they
left
off
to
build
the
citie
.
Therfore
the

bicause
the
Lorde
did
there

When

number
of
the
Serpentes
called

others
set
with
diuers
colours

hadde
redde

some
were
seene
of

collour
,
and
some
glistering
like
Gold
,
there
was
nothing
but
hissing
among
them
,
which
made
the
Macedonians
not
a little
afrayde
:
but
they
did
set
the
front
of
their
Tentes
full
of
Bucklers
,
and
helde
long
speares
in
their

,
with

they
thrust
thorow
the

they
slue
with

thing
putte
them

,
to
the
great

Then
aboute
the

houre
of

hoped
to

there
came
crested

more
than
an

were
so

that

were
burned

a

of

,
as

annoy

appeare

were
defiled
with
filthy
and
foule
seruices
of
the
bodye
:
for
she
dreamed
that
a
bitch
had
whelpes
vnder
the
Image
of
the
goddesse
Iuno
Sospita
,
and
that
the
litter
was
purged
by
prayer
made
,
and
she
saide
moreouer
that
it
seemed
to
hir
in
hir
dreame
that
the
Goddesse
fled
a
waye
and
was
hardely
entreated
by
hir
prayers
,
bycause
hir
temples
were
filthily
defiled
.
The
Picentines
after
a
barbarous
sort
tormented
the
Romaines
:
mischiefe
was
kindled
euery
where
in
Italie
.
Lucilius
Lupus
by
dispising
the
religion
,
was
slaine
in
the
field
,
and
lost
his
army
,
when
he
found
not
the
head
of
the
liuer
in
the
intrailes
.
In
the
time
of
Sylla
it
is
written
that
dogs
and
other
liuing
creatures
of
that
kinde
did
with
a
miserable
howling
giue
mournefull
voyces
,
which
Prodigies
did
betoken
the
ciuill
warre
which
ensued
.
Lucius
Sylla
when
he
going
to
Samos
woulde
bring
his
armie
against
Nola
,
toke
counsel
of
his
Countrey
Gods
,
touching
the
fortune
of
his
fight
,
wherefore
when
he
offered
sacrifice
,
he
behelde
a
Snake
créeping
out
from
one
part
of
the
Altar
,
wherevpon
he
asked
Posthumius
the
soothsayer
what
it
portended
,
who
answered
,
that
he
should
couragiously
set
vpon
the
tents
of
his
enimies
,
whiche
he
did
,
and
obtayned
the
victorie
:
and
this
was
the
foundation
of
his
future
power
.
When
Sylla
did
on
a
time
sacrifice
,
the
liuer
of
the
beast
was
sayd
to
haue
borne
the
shape
of
a
crowne
of
Laurel
in
his
vttermost
parte
,
whiche
was
a
maruellous
foretokening
of
hys
ensuing
happinesse
.
After
that
Lucius
Cornelius
Silla
had
carried
his
armye
out
of
Italie
,
verye
many
tokens
were
sent
from
heauen
to
Mithridates
king
of
Pontus
about
Pergamum
a
famous
Citie
of
Asia
the
lesse
:
but
especially
a
crowned
Image
of
victorie
,
whiche
the
Citizens
of
Pergamum
let
downe
vpon
hym
from
aboue
with
certaine
Engines
,
when
the
Image
had
almoste
touched
his
head
,
he
brake
in
sunder
,
&
the
Crowne
fel
downe
from
the
Theatre
vpon
the
ground
,
broken
to
small
péeces
:
which
thing
stroke
a
feare
in
the
common
people
,
and
made
Mithridates
not
a little
sorrowful
,
notwithstanding
that
at
that
time
things
came
to
passe
better
than
he
hoped
for
,
for
hée
whilest
the
Romaines
intercepted
Asia
,
and
the
kings
were
expelled
out
of
Bythinia
and
Capadocia
,
he
rested
at
Pergamum
,
distributing
his
riches
,
hys
Lordships
and
kingdomes
among
his
friendes
,
and
one
of
his
sonnes
recouered
his
former
gouernment
in
Pontus
&
Bosphorus
beyond
Maeotis
without
any
letting
him
.
Another
of
his
sonnes
called
Ariarathes
,
subdued
wyth
a
great
army
Thrace
and
Macedonia
:
and
other
Captaines
hauing
greate
armies
brought
other
places
vnder
his
dominion
.
Of
the
which
Archelaus
being
excéeding
mightie
by
sea
(
for
he
was
admirall
)
brought
the
Ilands
Cyclades
into
his
subiection
,
and
subdued
all
the
reste
whiche
are
betwéene
Malea
and
Eubaea
,
wherevpon
he
enticed
all
the
people
to
reuolt
from
the
Gréekes
,
from
Athens
to
Thessalia
.
Pompeius
Sylo
being
carried
in
triumphe
into
the
Town
Bouianum
which
he
had
taken
,
shewed
to
his
enimies
the
lucke
of
victorie
,
bicause
the
triumph
was
commonlye
brought
into
the
Citie
conquering
,
and
not
into
the
Citie
conquered
:
in
the
nexte
conflict
he
loste
his
armye
,
and
himselfe
slaine
.
Prodigies
appeared
to
Mithridates
,
going
about
to
make
warre
against
his
league
friendes
.
For
in
Stratopidum
where
the
Consul
was
wont
to
sit
,
Crowes
slewe
a
Vulture
in
gobbing
him
with
their
bylles
:
vppon
the
same
place
a
great
Starre
came
from
heauen
.
The
shape
of
the
goddesse
Isis
was
séene
to
strike
with
lightning
.
When
Mithridates
kindled
the
wood
of
the
Furies
,
a
great
laughter
was
heard
,
but
noting
was
séene
.
When
at
the
commaundemente
of
the
soothsayers
he
sacrificed
a
virgine
to
the
furies
.
A
laughter
rising
out
of
the
Maydens
throate
troubled
the
sacrifice
.
The
nauie
of
Mithridates
in
Th●ssalia
was
by
the
Romaines
lost
in
battell
,
when
Cinna
and
Marius
throughe
the
ciuill
warre
were
sore
at
variaunce
.
At
Rome
in
the
tentes
of
Cneius
Pompeius
the
Elemente
séemed
to
fall
down
,
weapons
and
Images
were
stricken
with
lightning
,
souldiers
were
slaine
,
and
Pompe●
himselfe
being
blasted
dyed
.
The
people
tore
his
heade
in
péeces
,
drewe
his
bodie
with
a
hooke
,
bycause
in
the
ciuill
war
he
woulde
not
helpe
his
Countrey
being
in
peril
,
when
he
had
the
highest
rule
and
excéeding
greate
power
.
When
Sylla
assaulted
The
Ha●en
of
Athens
.
Piraeum
,
one
of
his
souldiours
carrying
stones
and
turffe
to
builde
a
bulwark
,
was
killed
with
lyghtning
.
The
soothsayer
made
aunswere
,
bycause
the
heade
of
him
that
was
slaine
laye
towardes
the
towne
,
that
it
did
signifie
that
the
Romaines
through
long
labour
would
enter
and
haue
the
victorie
.
Not
long
after
Athens
and
Piraeum
the
hauen
were
taken
by
Silla
,
when
Ilium
was
burnt
by
Caius
Fymbria
,
when
the
Temple
of
Minerua
was
sette
on
fire
,
among
the
ruines
a
verye
auntient
Image
stoode
vntouched
,
and
did
foreshew
hope
of
the
Townes
restitution
.
In
the
territorie
of
Modona
two
Mountains
mette
togither
assayling
one
another
with
greate
noyse
and
going
backe
,
a
flame
of
fire
and
smoke
issuing
out
from
them
to
the
Element
,
with
which
méeting
of
the
two
mountaines
,
all
the
Farme
houses
were
destroyed
,
and
muche
cattel
that
was
betwéene
was
flaine
.
That
yeare
the
warre
betwéene
Alies
waxed
hot
,
which
I
wote
not
whether
it
were
more
bloudie
to
the
Countrey
of
Italie
than
the
Ciuil
war
was
:
and
in
that
warre
Licius
Cornelius
Sylla
when
in
the
territoritie
of
Nola
he
offered
sacrifice
,
before
his
tente
or
pauilion
,
sodainely
a
Snake
loked
out
from
one
parte
of
the
altar
,
which
being
séene
,
at
the
exhortation
of
Posthumus
the
soothsaier
he
forthwith
fronted
forward
his
army
and
tooke
the
strong
tentes
of
the
Samnites
,
which
victorie
was
a
token
of
his
greate
and
mightie
power
that
was
to
come
.
Euen
as
Cneyus
the
Consull
did
feare
a
token
of
euill
lucke
,
so
also
coulde
he
not
auoyde
it
,
for
by
the
Image
of
Apollo
hauing
his
heade
broken
of
himself
,
&
so
fastned
in
the
ground
that
he
could
not
be
pulled
vp
,
he
being
at
variance
with
Cinna
his
fellow
in
office
,
presumed
in
hys
minde
that
therby
his
destruction
was
signifyed
,
into
the
which
through
fear
of
the
Prodigie
he
fell
with
the
sorowful
ende
of
his
life
.
Comdus
the
Centurion
is
sayde
to
haue
bene
a
myracle
in
the
war
against
the
people
Marci
,
bycause
he
carried
a
cup
vpon
his
helmet
,
somtime
raising
a
flame
,
sometimes
putting
it
out
.
When
the
firste
ciuill
warre
hoong
ouer
the
Romaines
heades
,
a
fire
sodainely
appeared
vppon
the
speares
whiche
scarcely
coulde
be
quenched
:
thrée
C●●●tors
bringing
their
yong
into
the
high
waye
tore
them
in
péeces
,
and
that
which
remayned
after
the
dismembring
they
carried
to
their
nest
.
Mice
did
gnawe
golde
in
the
Temple
:
of
those
a
she
Mouse
being
taken
,
brought
forth
fiue
Male
Mice
in
a
trappe
,
and
she
eate
thrée
of
them
.
A
clang
of
trumpets
was
heard
in
the
ayre
.
Sylla
after
one
or
two
encountrings
with
king
Mithridates
,
when
nowe
he
hastned
into
Italy
with
a
great
army
,
the
inhabitants
of
the
places
,
as
he
went
,
brought
bound
vnto
him
a
liuing
creature
called
a
Satyre
,
that
was
found
a
sléep
and
so
taken
,
hauing
a
mans
mouth
and
fauour
as
he
is
commonly
painted
,
and
being
with
him
,
he
was
demaunded
(
not
in
one
tong
)
what
he
was
,
but
vsing
many
skilful
men
in
diuerse
tongues
for
this
purpose
,
he
is
sayde
only
to
haue
made
a
noyse
,
and
a
sharpe
voyce
procéeded
from
being
,
hym
a
mean
betwéene
bleating
and
neighing
.
Sylla
being
moued
with
some
touch
of
conscience
,
commaunded
him
to
be
let
go
,
appointing
certaine
to
carrie
him
into
a
desart
:
the
same
yeare
also
certaine
other
Prodigies
were
séen
,
for
a
Mule
brought
forth
,
and
a
woman
bare
a
Viper
in
steade
of
a
Childe
.
The
Earth
did
moue
so
horriblye
in
Rome
that
in
certaine
places
it
altogither
altered
the
face
of
the
grounde
:
about
the
.400
.
yeare
after
the
building
of
the
Capitoll
,
it
was
consumed
with
fire
.
At
suche
time
as
Sylla
offered
sacrifice
aboute
Tarentum
where
he
tooke
shipping
,
the
vttermost
parte
of
the
liuer
was
séene
hauing
the
forme
of
a
Crown
of
Laurel
with
two
beries
hanging
at
it
.
The
day
before
he
entred
Campant●
two
Goates
of
a
wonderful
greatnesse
were
séene
to
fight
togyther
at
the
mountaine
Ephaeus
,
and
doing
all
things
that
commonly
happen
to
men
in
fighting
,
now
striking
,
now
warding
:
and
the
vision
was
such
,
that
by
little
and
little
rising
vp
from
the
Earth
on
euery
side
,
it
vanished
away
in
the
ayre
,
very
like
dark
shewes
:
afterward
it
vanished
cleane
away
,
and
not
long
after
when
Marius
the
yonger
and
Vrbanus
were
Consulles
,
who
brought
a
great
army
,
Sylla
when
neither
he
set
in
order
his
army
nor
his
troupes
,
made
his
enimies
flye
,
vsing
hand
to
hand
the
strength
of
his
manlinesse
and
the
violence
of
his
boldnesse
,
and
putting
7000.
to
the
sworde
,
he
shut
vp
Norbanus
within
the
Citie
of
Capua
.
In
Syllas
time
betwéene
Capua
and
Vulturnum
a
great
noyse
of
Ensignes
and
armour
was
heard
with
a
horrible
clamour
,
so
that
for
manye
dayes
two
battailes
séemed
to
méete
:
men
considering
inwardly
the
strangenesse
of
the
thing
,
the
steppes
of
the
horsses
and
men
,
and
grasse
newe
troden
downe
and
shrubs
also
,
did
conceiue
that
it
portended
a
wonderfull
greate
warre
.
At
Clucinum
in
Hetruria
a
married
wife
brought
forth
a
serpent
aliue
,
which
being
cast
into
a
riuer
at
the
bydding
of
the
soothsayers
,
swam
against
the
streame
.
Lucius
Sylla
after
the
fifth
yeare
returning
Conquerour
into
Italy
,
was
a
great
terrour
to
his
enimies
.
The
kéeper
of
the
Capitol
burnt
it
in
one
night
:
through
the
crueltie
of
Sylla
there
was
a
foule
banishmente
of
noble
men
:
a
hundred
thousand
men
were
said
to
be
destroyed
in
the
Italia●
and
ciuil
wars
.

happened
at
suche
time
as
Lepidus
was
made
Consull
at

At
Triate
the
holye
Temples
were
shaken
with
Earthquake
bothe
in
Towne
and
Countrey
,
the
stones
wherwith
the
Market
place
was
paued
were
driuen
vp
:
bridges
were
broken
:
the
waterbancks
were
ouerthrown
into

there
was
great
noyse
heard
from
vnder
the
grounde
,
and
a
fewe
dayes
after
those
things
that
were
shaken
fell
downe
.
When
a

Sertorius
in
Spaine
destroyed
the
army
of
the
Romaines
.
They
had
diuerse
conflicts
against
the
Medes
.
When
Lucullus
being
about
to
fighte
with
king
Mithridates
did
set
his
army
in
battayle
ray

that
on

that
the
token
of

a
greate
firie
body
slyd
out
betwéene
the
two
hostes
,
the
ayre
sodainly
breaking
asunder
.
That
body
was
very
like
to
a
hogshed
,
but
in
colour
to
siluer
that
is
on
fire
,
wherefore
the
sodayne
feare
of
the
Prodigie
brake
off
the
battayle
on
both
sides
.
Plutarch
in
the
life
of
Lucullus
hath
written
,
that
it
happened
about
Otrie
a

of

This

séemed
bloudie

whiche
Sertorius
did
interpret
to

bycause
the
vttermoste
face
is
commonly
stayned
with

bloud

all

had
good

When

séemed

Many

In

A

all

the

he
that
ouercame
him
broughte
bundles
of
Laurell
into
the
prouince
,
and
there
being
hardly
handled
by
the
Dardani
,
he
lost
his
army
and
fled
away
.
It
appeared
that
he
portended
victorie
to
his
enimies
when
he
brought
vnto
him
Laurell
,
that
was
worne
in
token
of
victorie
,
which
he
should
haue
put
in

raunged

ouerthrew

Titus
Anius
Milo

the
ciuil

began
,
which
with
great
dissention
and
preparation
was
prepared
.
When

other
Prodigies

At

woulde
not
staye
the

of

When

a

seemed
to
go
from
his

to
Caesars
army
:
which
Prodigies
dyd
foretell
the
fall
of
Pompei
fighting
against
Caesar
.
A

a

,
which
signifyed
the

the
decay
of

the
alteration

and
the
filthy
rauishing
of
Matrones
.
A
burning
fire
wherwith
the
greatest
part
of
the
Citie
was
destroyed
was
accounted
a
prodigie
.
There
were
mightie
speares
in
Pompers
army
.
Ponpei
the
day
before
the
battell
,
was
seene
to
be
receiued
in

Theatre
with
a
great
and
ioyful
clapping
of
the
hands
,
and
not
long
after
being
ouercome
in

was
slaine
in
Egipt
.
When
Iulius
Caesar
fought
against
Pompei
,
it
is
euidente
that
his
army
was
almost
ouerthrowne
by
a
stony
storme
of
haile
,
in
whose
tents
as
it
is
written
,
the

and
afterward
his

were
burned
at

That
deadly
fighte
that
was
made
at
Pharsalia
was
foreshewed
by
many
tokens
,
for
in

a
Citie
of

the
Image
of
Victorie
whiche
was
in
the
temple
of

beyng

did
of

turne

the
same
day
that
the

At

in

that
the

of

came
to
the
vnderstanding
of

Diuinor
,
sitting
on

Hilles
at

who
presumed
to
affirme
for
this
,
that
either
the

shortly
be
dissolued

or
else

,
if

bringing

of

Whervpon
the
yong

When

one
of

sitting

a

,
taking
from

his

he
leaped
into
the
riuer
,
and
with
a
strong
breath
beginning
to
sounde
,
went
ouer
to
the
further
bancke

Then
saide

Tranquillus
writeth
of
thys
horrible
vision
.
Plutarch
recordeth
that
the
night
before
Caesar
passed
ouer
Rubicen
he
dreamed
that
he
séemed
sodainely
to
rauishe
his
Mother
,
whiche
dreame
others
write
did
happen
to
him
in
Spaine
at
what
time
he
was
Questor
,
and
that
the
interpretours
did
tel
him
that
the
time
should
come
,
when
the
Earthe
(
which
is
the
Mother
of
all
)
should
be
vnder
his
dominion
:
but
what
maruellous
sight
soeuer
he
saw
,
it
is
not
so
notable
as
those
were
which
were
done
or
reported
to
haue
bine
about
the
Citie
.
For
it
is
written
that
it
rayned
bloud
,
that
the
Images
of
the
Gods
did
sweate
,
that
many
places
were
stricken
with
lightning
,
and
that
a
Mule
had
a
Colte
.
And
Caesar
going
from
Rubicen
to
Triminum
toke
the
towne
by
force
,
and
thyther
came
to
him
the
tribunes
of
the
people
that
were
driuen
out
of
the
Citie
,
who
being
séene
among
the
souldiours
,
styrred
greatly
the
minds
of
the
souldiours
to
reuengement
.
Caesar
entred
Rome
with
foure
triumphes
:
was
created
Consull
the
fourth
time
and
continual
Dictator
,
taking
on
him
the
Monarchie
of
the
whole
Empire
,
hauing
subdued
Pompei
in
Spaine
at
Munda
,
after
whych
battaile
Caesar
finished
those
ciuill
warres
whych
during
the
space
of
fiue
yeares
troubled
the
whole
world
.
And
for
as
much
as
in
all
respectes
of
nature
he
wanted
not
the
singular
courage
which
became
so
great
a
Conquerour
,

after
such
sort
the

were
coyned

Also
the
reason
how
these
coynes
come

is
by
the
more
héedefulnesse
of
menne
nowe
than
in

paste
,
that
finding

haue

soothsayer
hadde
sayde
that
it
foreshewed
good
lucke
to
Caesar
,
yet
it
happened
otherwise
,
for
when
hée
came
into
the
place
where
the
Senatours
sate
,
to
receiue
his
decréede
honour
,

.
Caesars
murder
was
signifyed
before
by
many
straunge
wonders
,
for
the
weapons
of
the
God
Mars
which
at
that
time
he
kept
after
the

Certaine
wonderfull
tokens
and
Prodigies
wente
before
the
deathe
of
Iulius
Cesar
,
for
perchaunce
it
is
vnméete
in
so
greate
a
calamitie
to
make
mention
of
straunge
lightning
,
of
the
greate
noyses
that
in
the
night
were
harde
in
manye
places
,
and
of
the
solitarie
byrdes
that
came
into
the
Market
place
of
Rome
.
But
Strabo
the
Philosopher
writeth
,
that
very
many
firie
men
appeared
,
and
that
there
was
a
Souldiours
seruaunte
from
whose
hand
rose
a
greate
flame
,
whiche
they
that
beheld
thoughte
that
the
manne
shoulde
be
burned
,
but
after
that
it
was
out
,
it
was
manifest
that
he
had
no
harme
.
Moreouer
when
Cesar
offered
sacrifice
,
the
heart
of
the
beaste
sacrifised
coulde
no
where
be
founde
,
whiche
doubtlesse
was
a
horrible
Prodigie
,
for
it
is
certayne
that
no
lyuing
creature
can
be
without
a
heart
.
Furthermore
many
haue
written
that
a
Prophecier
told
him
that
in
the
Ides
of
March
he
shoulde
take
héede
of
a
greate
daunger
.
That
daye
when

,
and

wyth
hym
,
sayd
,
the
Ides
of
Marche
are
come
:
to
whom
he
aunsweared
with
a
lowe
voyce
,
they
are
come
indéede
,
The
Ides
are
the
eight
dayes
folowing
the
first
fiue
dayes
in
certaine
monthes
.
but
they
are
not
yet
past
.
The
day
before
supping
with
Marcus
Lepidus
,
when
sitting
at
the
Table
he
subscribed
certaine
letters
according
to
his
manner
,
there
arose
a
certaine
discourse
which
death
was
best
:
he
preuenting
them
all
with
a
great
showte
aunswered
,
a
death
vnloked
for
.
Afterward
he
sléeping
by
his
wife
,
(
as
the
custome
is
)
al
the
doores
of
his
Chamber
and
windowes
were
opened
,
he
being
sore
troubled
with
a
great
noyse
and
the
light
,
for
the
Moone
did
shine
,
perceyued
that
Calfurnia
was
in
a
deade
sléepe
,
and
vttered
in
hir
sléepe
vncertaine
voyces
and
quauering
sighes
,
for
she
thought
that
he
wept
whom
she
embraced
slaine
in
hir
armes
.
Some
doe
say
that
this
vision
did
not
happen
to
the
woman
,
but
as
Liuie
recordeth
,
before
Cesars
house
a
certaine
Chappell
appeared
like
to
a

tombe
,

,
wherefore
when
the

,
she
besoughte

vpon
hyr
knées
that
if
it
might
be
he
would
not
goe
forth
,
or
at

woulde
deferre

:
but
if
he
made
a

he
shoulde

Not

Howling
of
Dogs
was
heard
in
the
night
time
before

the

After

.
Octauianus
Augustus
after
he
had
made
league
with
Antony
and
Lepidus
agaynst
the
murderers
of
Iulius
before
he
came
to
Rome
with
his
armie
,
many
strange
thinges
were
séene
,
by
the
whiche
their
great
power
and
most
gréeuous
fall
was
shewed
,
for
in
Lepidus
sight
a
snake
twined
about
the
sworde
of
a
certayne
Centurion
,
and
a
Woolfe
entring
into
the
Campe
,
came
into
the
Tent
of
Lepidus
being
at
supper
,
and
embracing
the
Table
,
shewed
his
excéeding
great
power
,
but
difficult
in
kéeping
it
.
But
in
Antonius
sight
there
appeared
a
ditche
flowing
all
aboute
with
milke
:
and
harmony
was
heard
in
the
the
night
,
which
signified
great
pleasure
of
the
minde
,
and
by
reason
of
it
deadly
destruction
:
but
as
soone
as
Caesar
had
made
league
with
them
both
:
An
Eagle
stoode
vpon
his
Tent
,
and
immediately
slue
two
Crowes
flying
vnto
him
,
which
went
about
to
pull
the
fethers
off
his
winges
.
Wherefore
it
foreshewed
his
victory
ouer
them
both
.
Furthermore
Xiphilinus
in
the
breuiarie
of
Dion
,
recounteth
that
many
marueylous
thinges
are
at
large
recited
by
Dion
,
which
were
séene
in
the
times
of
Augustus
Caesar
and
Antony
,
and
speciallye
at
that
time
when
Brutus
and
Cassius
went
about
to
recouer
the
loste
liberty
of
the
Romanes
agaynst
Caesar
and
Anthony
:
where
Xiphilinus
sheweth
this
one
,
wherein
he
thinketh
that
the
alteration
of
thinges
was
signified
,
to
wit
,
that
certayne
riuers
in
Italy
ran
to
contrary
sides
,
and
that
some
did
cleane
drie
vp
.
After
that
Brutus
and
Cassius
enioyning
their
Camps
togither
,
made
haste
into
Europe
from
Abidus
,
a
terrible
strange
shewe
appeared
to
Brutus
in
the
dead
of
the
night
:
He
sate
alone
in
his
Pauilion
being
very
pen●●ue
touching
the
euent
of
the
Warre
,
and
nowe
perchaunce
hadde
settled
hys
mynde
to
thinke
somewhat
of
that
matter
,
while
hée
was
thus
carefull
of
his
owne
businesse
hée
perceyued
that
one
came
in
vnto
him
,
and
tourning
aboute
to
the
noyse
(
for
there
was
not
muche
Lighte
,
hée
thought
that
hée
sawe
the
Image
of
an
ouglye
bodye
stande
by
him
)
Brutus
was
mooued
at
the
horrible
sighte
of
the
Spirite
,
yet
hée
was
so
bolde
as
to
aske
him
what
God
or
manne
hée
was
,
moreouer
what
hée
woulde
haue
?
I
am
(
sayde

voyce
)
thy
naughty
Angell
Brutus
:
A
Citie
in
Thessalia
.
thou
shalte
sée
me
at
Philippi
:
then
Brutus
not
being
afrayde
sayde
,
I
will
sée
thée
,
and
therevppon
that
sighte
vanished
awaye
.
Brutus
asking
of
the
Boyes
that
were
in
the
Tentes
,
whether
they
saue
any
comming
or
going
out
,
when
they
denyed
both
,
hée
full
of
maruayle
gaue
himselfe
to
rest
.
The
nexte
daye
as
soone
as
hée
awaked
,
he
tolde
Cassius
of
that
straunge
shewe
,
hée
leaning
to
the
reasons
of
Epicurus
didde
despyse
it
as
vayne

of

And

Some
of

,
double

When

.
A

That
yeare
in
the
which
Marcus
Vipsanus
Agrippa
was
Consull
,
with
Lucius
●aiu●
(
whome
other
called
Caninius
Gallus
.
)
many
straunge
thinges
were
spoken
of
in
the
Cittie
,
but
specially
that
very
many
Delphines
striuing
togither
died
at
Alpi
.
a
towne
of
Affrica
,
that
in
the
same
Towne
it
rayned
blood
,
and
it
is
written
that
the
same
immediatelye
was
broughte
by
the
byrdes
into
diuers
quarters
.
Furthermore
,
that
broughte
great
pleasure
to
Octauius
,
which
happened
to
Liuia
,
which
was
the
Wife
of
Cesar
for
an
Eagle
cast
a
white
henne
into
her
bosome
,
whiche
carried
a
Laurel
branche
whereon
there
were
berries
.
Which
thing
for
as
muche
as
it
séemed
to
signifie
some
great
matter
:
Liuia
had
great
care
of
the
henne
,
and
sette
the
Laurell
,
which
when
it
grew
,
it
serued
to
make
them
Garlandes
of
Baye
which
triumphed
after
their
gotten
victory
.
The
same
yere
Antony
came
out
of
Siria
into
Italy
by
reason
of
Sextus
warre
,
who
gaue
Caesar
a
great
ouerthrow
,
Herod
in
Iudea
tooke
Ierusalem
,
and
spent
the
rest
of
the
yeare
in
subduing
the
prouince
.
Before
the
warre
of
Antony
with
Caesar
,
it
is
certayne
there
were
wonderfull
straunge
shewes
,
for
it
is
manifest
that
Pisaurus
a
Citie
not
far
from
Hawdria
,
where
Antony
brought
people
to
inhabite
,
was
cleane
swallowed
vp
with
gaping
of
the
earth
.
At
Alba
a
certayne
stonye
Image
of
Antony
did
sweat
many
dayes
,
and
when
certayne
men
dryed
him
hee
ceased
not
to
sweate
.
At
Patrae
while
Antony
was
there
,
A
Citie
in
●chaia
.
the
Temple
of
Hercule
being
stricken
with
lightning
fell
on
fyre
.
At
Athens
after
the
Giantes
fighte
,
Bac●hus
was
ouerthrowne
with
the
force
of
the
winde
,
and
fell
into
the
Theatre
:
Collossa
.
The
same
tempest
ouerthrew
the
great
Images
of
Eumenes
and
Attalus
which
were
at
Athens
being
assigned
vnto
Antony
and
which
more
is
,
those
alone
among
many
other
were
ouerthrowne
.
Moreouer
also
the
shippe
of
Cleopatra
which
was
called
Antoni●s
had
a
horrible
token
,
for
when
swallowes
had
built
their
neastes
vnder
the
sterne
,
others
came
after
them
,
which
driuing
out
the
first
by
force
,
destroyed
their
neastes
.
Caesa●
brought
into
his
subiection
the
Iapidians
,
the
Dalmatians
,
A
Countrey
in
the
Realme
o●
Naples
called
Callabria
.
and
the
Panonians
.
In
the
warre
agaynst
Caesar
and
Antony
,
Marcus
saw
other
horrible
prodigies
,
and
besides
others
,
a
certaine
Eagle
full
of
Bées
,
and
also
he
saw
the
arme
of
a
certayne
Tribune
of
the
Souldyers
sodainly
flowing
with
a
wonderfull
swéetenesse
of
a
Rosiall
smell
,
which
when
many
had
wiped
away
,
yet
it
ceased
not
they
recorde
also
,
that
two
Eagles
in
the
middle
space
betwéene
both
the
armyes
met
before
the
battayle
and
foughte
together
,
which
when
they
saw
all
gone
to
the
fight
,
there
was
hearde
sodaynlye
betwéene
them
a
silence
:
it
is
a
very
great
matter
&
almoste
incredible
.
They
say
notwithstanding
that
the
Eagle
which
came
on
Brutus
side
gaue
back
,
and
fled
away
,
immediately
followed
the
most
vnhappy
ouerthrow
of
Brutus
after
which
he
slue
himselfe
:
This

at

At

the

Augustus

When

and

were
vanquished
and
put
to
flight
at
Accium
,
the
Kingdome
of
Aegipt
came
into
the
dominion
of
Augustus
and
was
made
a
prouince
to
the
Romanes
.
In
Aegipt
a
shoure
not
only
of
water
but
also
of
blood
fell
from
heauen
,
in
which
Countrey
not
so
much
as
dew
fell
before
.
Moreouer
,
a
Dragon
of
wonderfull
greatnesse
,
as
soone
as
the
Aegiptians
saw
him
,
by
and
by
hissed
wonderfully
.
Starres
also
were
séene
,
which
the
Greekes
call
commets
:
the
likenesse
of
dead
men
appeared
,
and
the
Images
of
the
Gods
were
heauye
,
fynallye
the
Aegiptians
God
Apis
,
yéelded
great
and
miserable
bellowinges
,
and
shead
great
plentie
of
teares
.
The
same
yeare
Octauius
Caesar
ouercomming
Antony
,
subdued
all
Aegipt
,
made
it
Tributarye
,
and
appoynted
Cornelius
Gallus
to
gouerne
it
,
he
triumphed
ouer
the
Aegiptians
at
Rome
,
and
set
the
Ornamentes
of
Quéene
Cleopatra
in
the
Temple
.
When
Marcus
Antonius
had
in
vayne
challenged
to
a
single
Combate
Caesar
,
agaynst
whome
he
made
warre
:
the
same
night
after
,
when
it
was
now
almost
midnight
,
and
all
were
husht
,
he
being
excéeding
carefull
and
pensiue
by
reason
of
the
feare
of
that
which
should
happen
,
sodainly
they
report
that
certayne
harmonies
of
al
kynd
of
instruments
were
heard
,
and
also
the
shoute
as
it
were
of
certayne
companyes
making
a
noyse
with
singing
and
Satyricall
dauncing
,
and
they
say
that
this
was
from
the
middle
of
the
Cittie
to
that
gate
which
was
by
Caesars
Tentes
:
at
length
that
company
was
séene
to
go
out
through
this
gate
with
a
great
shoute
,
and
immedyately
Antony
being
past
all
hope
,
when
in
vayne
he
sought
to
haue
his
seruaunt
Erus
to
slay
him
,
he
cruelly
killed
himselfe
.
After
that
Octauius
Caesar
was
surnamed
Augustus
,
sodaynly
in
the
night
season
he
had
no
small
prouision
:
for
Tiber
in
smoothe
and
plain
places
of
the
Citie
rose
so
hie
,
that
men
might
row
in
them
,
vpon
which
thing
the
propheciers
foretolde
that
Cesar
should
more
and
more
increase
,
&
that
the
citie
should
altogether
be
in
his
subiection
.
Wherefore
Augustus
didde
those
thinges
more
cherefully
and
diligently
which
concerned
the
Empire
,
as
though
it
had
bene
geuen
him
by
the
consent
of
the
Gods
and
men
.
In
the
time
of
Augustus
Cesar
a
whale
20
foote
brode
,
but
thrice
so
long
,
and
in
al
things
sauing

head

being
very
like
a
woman
,
was
broughte
out
of
the
Occean
sea
into
the
countrey
of
Lions
in
Fraunce
.
In
the
tyme
of
Augustus
raigne
a
certayne
woman
called
Fausta
,
one
of
the
common
people
of
Ostia
,
brought
forth
two
boyes
and
two
gyrles
,
which
without
doubt
did
portend
the
famine
which
followed
.
Vnder
the
hill
Apeninus
at
the
farme
of
Liuia
,
the
wife
of
Cesar
,
the
earth
trembled
with
a
great
moouing
.
A
torch
appeared
burning
in
heauen
from
the
South
to
the
North
,
&
made
in
the
night
season
a
light
like
vnto
the
day
.
The
tower
of
Cesars
Gardens
,
at
the
gate
Caulina
,
was
stricken
with
lightning
.
The
Germanes
being
circumuented
by
the
ambushmentes
of
the
Romanes
,
were
gréeuously
vexed
vnder
Marcus
Lolius
being
Ambassadour

brother
of

Frenchemen

inhabite
beyonde

Reine
,
in
taking
all
things
that
came
in
his
way
,
went
as
far
as
the
riuer
Albis
,
where
a
certayn
woman
of
no
common
greatnesse
is
sayde
to
haue
met
him
,
and
thrice
to
haue
sayd
:
Whether
goest
thou
couetous
and
vnsatiable
Drusus
,
thou
canst
not
sée
all
these
thinges
by
thy
destiny
,
wherefore
depart
,
for
the
ende
of
thy
life
and
of
all
thy
businesse
is
at
hande
.
Wherefore
Drusus
although
he
retourned
as
warely
as
coulde
be
,
yet
he
fell
sick
and
dyed
by
the
way
.

1581.
WHen
Augustus
was
Emperour
,
often
and
euerye
where
,
more
than
was
tofore
accustomed
,
appeared
straunge
prodigies
,
as
well
in
the
Firmament
as
on
the
earth
.
The
Astrologers
,
Propheciers
,
and
Sacrificers
being
asked
,
and
the
Oracles
of
Authours
being
enquired
what
might
thereby
ensue
,
aunswered
:
That
N●ture
should
bring
forth
a
Prince
,
and
Lord
of
the
earth
:
The
Romanes
referred
this
to
Augustus
the
wiser
sorte
did
interprete
it
of
Christ
the
King
of
the
liuing
,
and
Lorde
of
the
world
.
The
wonderfull
straunge
apparances
more
than
accustomed
in
these
latter
dayes
,
doe
also
foretell
some
great
alteration
to
follow
.
Zacharia
a
righteous
and
godlye
priest
of
the
Lord
,
when
he
had
done
Sacrifice
to
the
Lord
in
the
Temple
at
Ierusalem
he
saw
the
Angell
of
the
Lorde
standing
at
the
right
side
of
the
Altar
,
who
tolde
him
that
his
prayers
were
hearde
,
whiche
he
had
made
vnto
God
,
and
that
his
barren
wife
Elizabeth
,
should
bring
forth
vnto
him
a
sonne
,
and
thou
shalt
call
his
name
Iohn
.
And
many
of
the
Children
of
Israell
shall
he
turne
to
the
Lorde
God
:
for
he
shall
goe
before
in
his
sight
,
in
the
spirite
and
power
of
Elias
,
to
tourne
the
hartes
of
the
Fathers
to
the
Children
,
and
the
disobedient
to
the
wisedome
of
the
iust
men
:
to
make
a
people
ready
to
the
Lord
.
Then
Zacharie
sayd
vnto
the
Angell
:
Wherby
shall
I
know
this
?
for
I
am
an
olde
man
,
and
my
wife
is
of
great
age
.
&c.
I
am
Gabriell
that
stande
in
the
presence
of
God
:
and
am
sent
to
speake
vnto
thee
,
and
to
shew
thee
these
glad
tidinges
,
and
beholde
thou
shalt
be
dumme
and
not
able
to
speake
,
vntill
the
day
that
these
thinges
be
performed

The

and
a

ouer
al
the
people
:
he
crying
out
in
this
sort
both
day
and
night
went
about
the
Citie
,
&
often
being
beaten
of
those
that
could
not
abide
his
spéech
,
as
boding
something
to
the
Citie
,
he
did
it
neuerthelesse
.
Whervpon
he
being
brought
before
the
Romaine
Iudge
,
&
being
torne
with
a
whip
euen
to
the
bones
,
he
did
neyther
intreate
,
nor
shedde
one
teare
with
his
punishment
,
but
only
had
this
in
his
mouth
,
wo
,
wo
,
be
to

:
and
when
Albinus
who
then
was
iudge
asked
what
he
ment
or
why
he
was
so
péeuish
,
he
made
no
aunswere
,
wherefore
Albinus
iudged
him
a
foole
and
let
him
go
.
For
7.
yeares
togither
he
neuer
went
to
any

continually

neyther

finally
,
vpon
the

of

,
when

out

wo
be

it
came
to
passe
that

added
this
too
otherwise
than

the

of

about
the

Sun
,
in
the
Realme
of
Sicil
in
the
Citie
of
Palermo
(
a
port
of
the
sea
)
there
chanced
a
perilous
wonder
:
whilest
they
of
Palermo
were
celebrating
a
greate
feast
,
with
much
ioy
,
that
they
had
vanquished
the
nauie
of
the
Numidians
:
the
Pirates
deuiding
their
bootie
,
were
preuented
by
the
Magistrats
of
the
Citie
,
who
commaunded
the
whole
spoyle
to
be
layde
vp
,
til
the
warres
were
finished
,
&c.
when
al
the
people
were
returned
home
vnto
their
houses
to
supper
,
(
for
it
was
in
the
Sommer
time
)
there
appeared
a
huge
monster
in
the
Citie
in
this
forme
:
he
séemed
to
be
of
the
length
of
thrée
Cubites
,
his
heade
was
balde
,
so
that
his
scul
did
appeare
:
he
had
no
eares
saue
onlye
two
holes
in
his
necke
wherby
men
iudged
that
he
heard
:
he
had
two
writhen
hornes
like
a
Goate
,
his
right
arme
was
longer
than
his
left
,
his
hands
were
like
the
féete
of
horsses
,
without
throate
,
his
shoulders
and
his
heade
were
both
of
one
hight
,
his
shoulders
shone
as
doeth
the
scales
of
fishes
,
his
breaste
was
al
rough
of
haire
,
his
face
in
all
things
was
like
vnto
a
man
,
saue
that
he
had
but
one
eye
which
was
in
the
middest
of
his
foreheade
,
in
his
nose
there
was
but
one
nostrill
,
from
the
middle
downewarde
there
was
nothing
séene
,
bycause
it
was
all
couered
:
he
sat
on
a
Chariot
wyth
foure
whéeles
,
whiche
was
drawen
with
foure
beastes
,
that
is
,
two
Lions
before
,
and
two
Beares
behinde
:
no
man
coulde
tel
whereof
the
Chariote
was
made
,
yet
was
it
not
vnlyke
to
other
:
wythin
the
Chariote
stoode
a
greate
Caldron
wyth
eares
,
wherein
the
Monster
was
,
it
wandered
vp
and
downe
in
the
Citie
from
one
gate
to
another
,
casting
forth
sparcles
of
fire
.
This
brought
the
people
in
a
maruellous
feare
,
the
most
parte
ranne
to
the
Temples
of
Iupiter
,
Mars
,
and

&c.
The
Monster
came
to
the
palace
where
the
Pirates
were
,
and
cut

And

In
the
time
of
Antoninus
the
Emperour
,
immediately
after
the
cruell
persecutions
of
the
Christians
,
there
was
an
huge
Earthquake
,
and
the
often
ouerflowings
of
diuers
riuers
were
séene
many
times
:
After
these
followed
a
great
pestilence
,
which
farre
abroade
spoyled
manye
prouinces
,
and
chiefly
Italy
,
which
it
so
wasted
,
that
euerye
where
Farme
houses
and
groundes
lay
without
tyllmen
and
dwellers
.
To
conclude
,
there
was
no
reste
in
any
place
from
the
warre
:
But
throughout
all
the
East
,
Illyria
,
Italy
and
France
the
war
waxed
maruellous
hote
:
a
huge
swarme
of
Locustes
immediatly
followed
the
former
pestilence
,
wherewithall
the
groundes
in
diuers
countries
were
annoyed
.
Marcus
Aurelius
the
brother
of
Antoninus
,
and
the
Emperour
making
warre
in
Germanie
and
Russia
,
were
in
danger
through
ouermuch
drowth
:
the
souldiours
were
driuen
awaye
with
often
lightning
,
and
with
fiers
falling
from
heauen
.
After
the
death
of
Aurelius
and
Antoninus
the
Emperour
,
Smirna
a
Citie
of
Asia
fel
downe
with
a
great
Earthquake
,
for
the
repayring
wherof
,
tenne
yeares
tribute
was
forgiuen
them
.
So
greate
a
plague
folowed
in
Rome
,
that
wel
nere
the
host
of
the
Romains
was
cleane
destroyed
.
There
was
so
great
a
pestilence
throughout
the
whole
worlde
,
that
the
Romaine
armies
were
almoste
brought
to
an
vtter
destruction
.
Moreouer
earthquakes
and
ouerflowings
of
waters
did
afflicte
mankind
and
the
whole
worlde
,
that
vnlesse
Marcus
Aurelius
and
Antoninus
Pius
the
16.
Emperour
of
the
Romanes
,
had
happened
to
redresse
these
mischiefes
,
the
Romaine
Empire
had
bin
ouerthrowen
.
Moreouer
Locustes
hurtefull
to
the
grounde
,
didde
féede
vpon
meddowes
and
fieldes
.
In
those
dayes
the
seasons
were
moste
daungerous
and
very
Climatericall
.
We
reade
in
Herodian
,
that
in
the
time
of
Commodus
Stars
were
séene
all
the
day
long
,
and
that
some
did
stretch
in
length
,
hanging
as
it
were
in
the
middest
of
the
ayre
,
which
was
a
token
of
a
cloud
not
kindled
but
drouen
togither
:
for
it
séemed
kyndled
in
the
night
,
in
the
day
when
it
was
far
off
it
vanished
away
.
There
followed
a
great
slaughter
of
the
Parthians
by
the
guile
of
Comodus
and
not
by
his
vertue
.
Therevppon
arose
the
ciuil

,
fiue
Emperours
being
slaine
in
one
yeares

and

At

lightning
fell
vpon
the
Capitoll
,
and
a
great
fire
encreasing
,
the
Librarie
and
all
the
houses
neare
it
were
burned
.
Thrée
yeares
after

in

he

was

There
appeared
certaine
prodigies
in
the
Element
:
againe
starres
in
the
daye
time
continuallye
appeared
.
Moreouer
,
all
kindes
of
lyuyng
creatures
not
kéeping
their
nature
were
brought
forth
with
a
prodigious
figure
of
their
body
,
and
with
disagréeing
members
:
and
as
this
exceeding
haynous
matter
made
men
to
sorrow
for
the
present
,
so
for
the
time
to
come
it
made
all
afrayde
with
a
most
wicked
diuination
,
for
whereas
there
were
no
showres
nor
clowdes
,
but
only
a
smal
earthquake
went
before
,
whether
it
were
with
the
fall
of
lightning
in
the
night
time
,
or
whether
it
were
of
some
fyre
,
as
it
were
rubbed
out
in
the
mouing
of
the
earth
,
the
whole
temple
of
Peace
vpon
the
sodayne
was
consumed
with
fyre
,
which
worke
alone
truely
was
the
greatest
of
all
that
was
in
the
citie
,
&c.
The
day
before
Iulianus
the
Emperour
was
slayne
by
the
Persians
,
when
in
the
night
he
rose
to
sacrifice
,
he
saw
fire
descend
from
heauen
,
and
when
he
asked
the
propheciers
what
it
meant
,
they
made
aunswere
that
hee
shoulde
deferre
his

the

commonly
appeare

were
not

and
when

the

séemed
still

There
appeared
a
comet
,
and
there
was
an
earthquake
almost
ouer
al
the
world
,
which
made
the
sea
passe
his

,
&
destroied
the
Cities
of

&
of

,
&
innumerable
people
besides
:
that
yere
Valentinianus
the
Emperor
ouercame

Saxons
in

When

an
Owle
sate
vppon

of
his

crying
heauily

the

was
present
,
wherefore
there
were
some
which
cast
stones
,

shot
at
her
,
and
although
they
leuiled
at
her
they
could
not
driue
her
away
,
wherefore
not
long
after
,
and
scarsely
a

,
he
sodaynly
died
.
There
were
other
tokens
but
they
were
common
,
and
this
of
all
was
the
most
euident
.
In
the
time
of

there
appeared
a

,
at
first
appeared
bright
,
within
twenty
dayes
vanished
awaye
:
at
that
tyme
great
aboundaunce
of
crackling
Hayle
fell
downe
for
two
dayes
together
and
destroyed
beastes
and
trées
.
The
Lumbards
after

The
Temple
of
Serapis
in
Alexandria
was
pulled
downe
by
the
decrée
of
the
Emperor
Theodosius
.
When
Theodosius
was
Emperour
,
there
were
séene
strange
and
vnwonted
sightes
,
which
did
portend
mischéefes
to
the
worlde
to
ensue
,
for
fyrste
vpon
the
sodayne
there
appeared
a
straunge
Starre
in
the
Elemente
at
midnight
shyning
brighte
nere
the
day
starre
,
about
that
circle
whiche
is
called
Zodiacus
,
shée
gaue
not
muche
place
to
the
daye
Starre
,
because
shée
was
great
and
shining
by
reason
of
her
glittering
beames
,
and
a
great
number
also
of
other
starres
by
little
and
little
drue
neare
her
,
if
a
man
had
séene
that
sight
,
he
would
haue
compared
it
to
a
swarme
of
bées
,
which
flée
round
about
their
Captaine
,
and
that
light
which
came
from
them
all
as
it
were
from
the
violent
dashing
of
the
one
agaynst
the
other
,
mixed
together
and
became
one
flame
,
and
shining
with
a
certaine
terrour
,
became
altogether
like
a
greate
and
horrible
two
edged
sworde
,
for
where
as
the
other
starres
were
séene
altogether
(
and
one
)
and
that
alone
which
first
was
séene
didde
appeare
altogether
as
a
pummell
to
a
handle
,
and
after
a
sort
did
yéelde
all
the
brightnesse
of
the
fyrst
Starre
appearing
euen
as
the
match
burning
in
a
Candle
,
so
the
flame
went
vpwarde
,
whiche
when
it
had
appeared
sword
like
,
or
rather
expressing
or
representing
the
forme
of
a
Sworde
for
fortye
dayes
,
it
vanished
away
:
at
the
same
time
also
two
mens
bodies
were
séene
the
one
in
Siria
,
excéeding
in
greatnesse
the
nature
of
man
,
the
other
in
Aegipt
being
of
an
incredible
shorte
stature
:
hée
that
appeared
in
Syria
,
grewe
in

fyue
cubites
,
and
a
hande
breadth
,
although
his
féete
didde
not
aunswere
in
proportion
the
rest
of
the
greatnesse
of
his
body
,
for
they
were
crooked
inwarde
,
and
his
name
was
Antonius
,
but
he
that
was
in
Aegipt
was
so
short
,
that
he
was
very
like
a
Partridge
,
in
whome
notwithstanding
was
so
much
wisdome
as
was
required
in
a
handsome
man
,
his
voice
shewed
him
apt
to
sing
,
his
spéeche
did
shew
the
notable
worthinesse
of
hys
minde
,
the
greatest
of
these
two
was
25.
yere
old
,
and
the
least
was
neare
about
that
age
.
There
appeared
in
the
Element
a
signe
like
a
hanging
doue
and
burning
for
30.
dayes
.
At
the
citie
of
Antioche
in
the
nighte
season
there
appeared
an
image
in
a
womans
apparell
wandering
aloft
in
the
ayre
,
of
a
huge
greatenesse
,
and
of
a
countenaunce
so
fell
,
that
it
made
the
beholders
excéedingly
afrayde
,
that
runing
vp
and
downe
in
the
ayre
,
ouer
the
streates
of
the
Citie
,
with
a
whip
making
a
great
sound
,
did
beat
the
ayre
,
from
whence
came
such
a

Wylde

when
they

of

to
the
people
:
and
immedyatelye
the
same
Moneth
,
there
arose
a
greate
and
a
bloodye
sedition
in
that
Citie
,
by
reason
of
a
tribute
that
Theodosius
had
extraordinarily
leuied
.
At
this
time
there
was
a
great
&
a
wonderful
earthquake
,
which
without
doubt
excéeded
al
the
former
in
greatnesse
,
swiftnesse
,
and
continuance
of
time
,
for
it
lasted
sixe
months
,
and
ceased
not
at
times
,
but
shooke
al
things
with
a
continuall
mouing
,
and
that
almost
throughout
the
whole
Worlde
,
in
so
muche
that
not
onelye
in
the
Cittie
of
Constantinople
the
Towers
fell
downe
headlong
,
and
the
Wall
in
dyuers
places
was
broken
,
but
also
all
the
Buildinges
which
wree
about
Chirsonesus
,
whiche
they
call
Macromiches
,
fell
quite
downe
,
and
in
euery
place
innumerable
buildings
of
great
workes
and
Temples
fell
to
wracke
:
this
Earthquake
also
touched
Alexandria
in
Aegipt
but
being
more
forcible
at
Antioche
didde
chéefelye
breake
in
péeces
the
most
gorgeous
workes
the
were
to
be
séene
,
and
there
happened
innumerable
chances
,
not
only
by
lande
,
but
also
by
sea
,
for
in
some
place
the
earth
chincking
swallowed
vp
many
streates
in
townes
and
Villages
in
the
countrey
,
in
some

vp
,
in
some
places
also

where
before
there
was

,
there
were
many

,
together
with
the

many

were
drowned
,
and
at

The

losse
by
this
Earthquake
:
as
it
hath
bene
sayde
it
also
inuaded
many
countreys
of
the
Weast
,
and
when
it
had
continued
a
long
season
,
it
didde
not
endure
to
spoyle
with
that
vehemencie
as
it
beganne
,
but
by
little
and
little
it
gaue
ouer
his
violent
vntill
it
altogether
ceased
.
The
destruction
was
this
:
the
inhabitantes
of
Constanti●ople
beeing
excéedinglye
afrayde
;
and
fearing
the
fall
of
the
Buildinges
,
lefte
the
Walles
,
and
made
their
abode
without
the
Citie
in
the
fielde
together
with
the
Emperor
Theodosius
&
the
Patriarche
Proclus
,
praying
continually
,
&
beséeching
God
to
be
mercifull
to
them
&
deliuer
the
world
from
that
imminent
calamitie
:
and
when
vpon
a
time
by
the
rage
of
that
quaking
the
earth
as
it
were
wauing
was
dasht
together
,
and
men
through
feare
were
afrayde
that
it
should
be
pulled
vp
from
the
very
foundation
,
and
all
men
being
giuen
to
prayers
and
supplications
wepte
together
,
and
from
the
bottome
of
their
heart
cryed
out
for
Gods
mercy
,
then
there
followed
a
myracle
contrarye
to
all
mennes
opinyon
,
whiche
exceeded
all
reason
and
feare
,
for
sodaynelye
in
the
sight
of
all
men
,
by
a
certayne
diuine
power
,
a
Boye
from
among
them
was
drawne
vp
into
the
ayre
euen
to
Heauen
,
so
that
now
he
was
not
séene
,
who
heard
a
Heauenlye
voyce
,
wherein
the
Aungels
didde
prayse
GOD
,
and
when
he
had
learned
that
voyce
,
agayne
he
came
downe
through
the
ayre
the
same
waye
he
ascended
vp
,
and
told
the
Bishop
Proclus
and
the
Emperour
,
and
all
the
people
that
were
at
prayer
and
singing
hymnes
to
God
,
that
he
heard
Angels
singing
these
wordes
:
Sanctus
Deus
,
Sanctus
fortis
,
Sanctus
immortalis
,
miscrere
nostri
:
that
is
,
Holy
God
,
Holy
strong
,
Holy
euerlasting
haue
mercye
vppon
vs.
Which
when
Proclus
vnderstoode
,
by
and
by
he
commaunded
it
to
be
sung
after
the
same
sort
,
and
forthwith
the
earthquake
stayed
&
altogether
ceased
.
Furthermore
the
Emperor
Theodosius
&
among
the
women
Pulcheria
worthy
to
be
highly
estéemed
of
all
men
,
being
stricken
with
so
great
a
miracle
,
by

by
decréede

the
Emperors
constitution
,
that
this
heauenly
Hymne
should
be
sung
ouer
al
the
world
,
&
from
that
time
the
church
of
Christ
receyued
it
,
&
doth
not
only
vse
it
euery
day
,
but
also
with
a
full
mouth
doth
set
it
first
of
al
at
the
beginning
of
euery
verse
&
praise
of
God
.
The
boy
that
discharged
the
Ministery
of
these
wordes
,
immediately
departed
this
life
,
and
was
buried
in
the
great
church
,
which
hath
the
name
of
Peace
,
and
that

him

to

There
was
an
Earthquake
for
many
dayes
,
the
Element
séemed
to
burne
:
After
Theodocius
the
great
,
Arcadius
was
made
Emperour
of
the
east
,
and
the
Visigothes
and
the
Hunnes
spoyled
the
prouinces
of

Romanes
with
many
inroades
.
There
fell

in

of

and

At

a

made

.
The
Vandales
by
the
conducte
of
Croscus
,
ranging
ouer

destroyed
many
Cities
and
churches
.
Gainas
that
most
valyaunt
Scithian
,
who
inuaded
the
Empire
of
the
Romanes
with
a
great
armye
,
when
he
went
about
to
sacke
and
vtterlye
to
destroy
Constantinople
because
Arcadius
Emperor
of
the
Romanes
woulde
not
build
therin
a
Temple
for
the
Arrians
:
a
Starre
representing
a
Sword
did
portend
that
ambushment
,
which
was
excéeding
shining
(
the
like
of
whom
was
neuer
written
of
before
to
haue
appeared
)
he
shined
ouer
the
Cittie
and
almost
touched
the
very
earth
from
the
top
of
the
element
.
That
yere
when
Rome
was
besieged
and
spoyled
by
the
Gothes
,
Alaricus
being
their
Captayne
,
so
great
a
murther
was
committed
,
as
no
age
knew
the
like
sithe
the
World
begane
that
Starre
also
hauing
the
shape
of
a
sword
,
forewent
that
destruction
,
for
not
onlye
the
Souldyers
were
slayne
,
nor
these
mischiefes
were
in
one
part
of
the
World
,
but
all
mankinde
was
hewed
in
péeces
,
and
all
Europe
went
to
wrack
,
no
small
part
also
of
Asia
was
broughte
to
confusion
,
and
a
very
great
part
of
Affrica
,
but
chéefelye
that
which
was
tributary
and
subiecte
to
the
Romanes
,
for
the
Sworde
of
the
barbarous
Ennemies
didde
mowe
a
greate
multitude
,
and
famine
and
pestilence
and
flockes
of
wylde
Beastes
consumed
the
rest
.
Furthermore
greate
Earthquakes
didde
quite
cast
to
the
grounde
Cities
and
houses
,
and
brought
many
to
ineuitable
destruction
.
In
manye
places
also
the
earth
cleauing
asunder
,
became
a
spéedy
and
a
voluntary
Sepulcher
for
the
inhabitantes
.
Moreouer
,
the
fylthinesse
of
rayne
water
,
with
other
fierye
droughtes
,
and
with
some
the
fall
of
lightning
caused
a
diuerse
and
an
vnsufferable
calamitie
.
Furthermore
,
in
many
places
Hayle
was
séene
to
fall
bigger
than
stones
that
one
maye
cast
with
his
hande
,
weighing
aboute
eyghte
pounde
wayghte
.
To
conclude
,
the
aboundaunce
of
Snowe
,
and
extremitye
of
colde
destroyed
manye
,
whylste
others
liued
in
other
quarters
.
All
whiche
thinges
did

preache

Gods
heauye

,
all
whiche
to
recounte
one
after

were
too
harde
for
a
manne
to

Besides
all
this
there
was
so
greate
an
Eclipse
of
the
Sunne
,
that
the
Starres
were
séene
euen
at
noone
daye
,
after
whiche
there
followed
such
a
drouth
,
that
after
a
straunge
sorte
manye
menne
,
and
other
liuing
Creatures
dyed
,
and
when
the
Sunne
fayled
,
a
certayne
shyning
appeared
also
in
the
Elemente
,
bearing
the
forme
of
a
Creste
of
an
Helmet
,
or
Sugerloafe
,
broade
beneath
,
and
sharpe
towardes
the
toppe
,
whiche
some
ignoraunte
menne
called
a
Comet
,
and
a
bearded
Starre
,
for
nothing
that
was
in
it
was
like
a
Comet
,
neyther
hadde
it
a
beardye
brightenesse
,
nor
was
it
in
any
poynte
like
a
starre
,
but
séemed
to
be
of
it selfe
as
it
were
the
flame
of
some
great
Candell
,
neyther
didde
anye
of
his
beames
beare
the
forme
of
anye
Starre
:
his
moouing
also
was
diuerse
,
for
that
Lighte
beganne
to
mooue
on
that
syde
where
the
Sunne
aryseth
by
the
Aequinoctium
,
and
going
awaye
from
thence
by
little
and
little
,
by
the
laste
Starre
whiche
is
placed
in
the
Tayle
of
the
Beare
,
healde
his
course
to
the
Weast
,
and
after
he
hadde
raunged
ouer
the
Element
more
than
foure
Monthes
,
hée
vanyshed
awaye
.
Sometyme
his
toppe
was
so
long
and
so
sharpe
,
that
it
excéeded
the
manner
of
a
Helmet
,
but
sometime
it
drew
to
the
measure
thereof
:
it
also
yielded
other
monstrous
shewes
,
by
the
whiche
it
swarued
from

He
beganne
first
to
appeare
from
midsommer
almost
till
the
ende
of
Autumne
.
This
myracle
also
foreshewed
greate
Warres
,
and
wonderfull
death
of
men
.
And
herevpon
there
beganne
to
be
Earthquakes
,
whiche
without
doubt
could
not
be
compared
with
them
that
were
before
.
With
the
Earthquake
also

falling
from

,
as
if
it
brake
asunder
,
cut
off
menne
from
all
hope
of

,
yet
it
didde
them
no
harme
,
for
Gods
goodnesse
by
sending
a
strong
wind
,
and
by
scattering
the
fyre
on
euery
side
cast
it
into
the
Sea
:
then
a
man
might
sée
a

,

When
in
manye
places
of
the
Earth
there
were
such
great
Earthquakes
,
the
céelinges
and
coueringes
of
the
houses
séemed
to
be
pulled
asunder
one
from
another
,
with
so
great
a
noyse
and
crashing
,
that
they
which
were
within
in
their
houses
did
plainly
behold
the
element
with
their
eyes
,
and
after
this
maner
of
breaking
they
were
agayne
so
fitly
ioyned
together
,
that
they
gaue
no
man
anye
signification
of
so
straunge
a
thing
:
the
same
also
happened
in
many
places
to
Shippes
and
pauementes
of
houses
.
Certayne
Garners
didde
choke
them
that
dwelt
vnderneath
them
,
with
the
corne
that
aboundantly
&
sodainly
fel
vppon
them
through
the
open
chinckes
,
and
agayne
the
earthquake
did
close
the
floud
so
well
,
that
men
doubted
from
whence
the
corne
came
which
made
such
a
murther
.
Moreouer
there
were
also
other
harmes
of
this
kind
,
and
after
a
strange
sort
which
did
sufficiently
declare
that
they
did
not
procéed
of
any
naturall
cause
(
as
the
doting
followers
of
the
Greeke
superstition
do
say
)
but
were
sente
vppon
men
as
scourges
of

It
is
worthie
remembrauce
which
happened
this
yere
to
the
Iewes
inhabiting
Crete
.
A
certain
seducer
whom
some
thoughte
to
haue
ben
a
wicked
spirite
,
wandered
about
that
Ilande
a
whole
yeare
,
saying
stil
that
he
was
Moses
who
in
time
past
brought
vp
the
Israelits
out
of
Egipt
,
through
the
red
Sea
,
and
that
hée
was
sent
againe
to
bring
the
dispearsed
Israelites
to
theyr
lande
:
and
the
miserable
Iewes
led
with
false
hope
too
soone
beléeued
the
seducer
,
who
left
all
their
goods
to
others
,
and
at
a
time
appointed
,
all
with
their
children
and
wiues
followed
the
seducer
that
went
before
them
.
They
came
to
a
certain
rocke
that
did
hang
ouer
the
sea
,
and
their
false
Moses
commaunded
them
that
wrapping
their
clothes
about
them
like
a
footeball
,
they
shoulde
turne
of
the
rocke
into
the
sea
.
They
doing
as
he
willed
them
without
any
tarying
,
many
falling
vpon
the
sharpe
edges
of

,
many
being
swallowed
vp
with
the
water
were
punished
for
their
follye
,
and
manye
more
had
bin
cast
away
,
vnlesse
Christian
men
that
were
a
fishing
had
taken
ashipborde
certain
of
them
that
were
in
daunger
in
the
Sea
,
and
were
neare
their
death
.
When
these
were
lustie
againe
,
they
returning
to
their
acquaintance
,
opened
vnto
them
how
they
were
beguiled
,
and
in
what
danger
they
were
,
This
h●llithe
M●yses
may
be
likened
to
the
counterfeite
Peter
of
Rome
whose
clemencie
is
superstition
,
and
his
mercye
murther
.
whervpon
they
being
madde
for
anger
,
sought
false
Moyses
to
put
him
to
death
,
who
being
no
where
to
be
founde
,
made
them
suspecte
that
he
was
a
spirite
of
error
,
accustomably
appearing
in
mans
shape
,
that
he
might
the
better
bring
to
effecte
that
he
desired
.

they

There
were
almost
continuall
Earthquakes

and
very
many

were

In

In
the
seconde
yeare
of
the
Empyre
of
Leo
,
there
was
so
greate
an
Earthquake
and
rumbling
,
that
in
manye
places
many
Buildinges
fell
downe
,
and
well
neare
all
Antioche
was
shaken
.
That
destruction
was
the
reward
of
the
mischiefs
that
followed
,
because
the
Citizens
béeing
estraunged
from
Gods
Lawes
were
cruellye
mynded
lyke

,
and
were
haunted
with
all

that
inuaded
that
Cittie
was
fyue
hundreth

building
of

Citie
,
the
fourtéenth
day
of

Moneth
of

,
the
fourth
hower
of

and
from
that
Earthquake
whiche
hapned
in
the
tyme
of
Traiane
thrée
hundered
forty
and
seuen
yeares
,
for
the
one
afflicted

when
in
the
one
hundreth
twentye
and
nine
yeare
that
Cittie
vsed
her
Lawes
as
a

common
Wealth

and
the
other
oppressed
Antioche
in
the
time
of
Leo
,
in
the
fyue
hundreth
and
sixt
yeare
,
as
it
hath
bene
founde
out
in
the
Learned
,
and
almoste
it
ouerthrewe
all
the
houses
whereas
it
was
moste
populous
,
so
that
there
was
in
it
no
deserte
or
any
place
inhabitable
or
made
lighte
of
.
It
was
moste
royallye
sette
oute
by
reason
of
the
ambitious
liberalitie
of
many
Princes
,
who
haue
endeauoured
howe
to
excell
one
an
other
in
costly
building
,
and
haue
strouen
to
surpasse
one
another
in
glory
:
wherefore
both
the
houses
of
the
Emperour
fell
downe
,
others
escaped
the
perill
together
with
the
bath
adioyning
,
which
deliuered
the
Cittie
from
his
former
discommoditie
,
because
that
the
other
baines
or
Bathes
had
hurt
it
with
their
ouerflowing
.
Moreouer
the
porches
that
stoode
before
the
Emperors

were
cast
downe
,
and

Tetrapulum
that
were
set
vpon

:

furthermore
the
towers
and
certaine
porches
standing
vpon
them
,
before
the
dores
where
horses
were
coursed
,
fell
downe
likewise
,
and
in
the
olde
Citie
it
touched
neyther
house
nor
porche
,
it
shooke
besides
the
Bathes
of
Traian
,
Seuerus
&
Adrian
,
likewise
very
many
buildings
&
the
porch
which
is
called
Ostracina
,
&
also
that
which
was
called
Nimphean
,
all
which
at
large
Iohn
the
Rhethorician
in
his
histories
hath
set
forth
.
By
reason
of
this
earthquake
&
for
the
houses
pulled
down
,
they
report
that
the
Emperour
did
forgiue
that
Citie
a
thousand
Tallentes
of
Golde
of
their
yearelye
Tribute
,
and
that
hée
gaue
a
greate
summe
of
money
to
repaire
common
houses
.
At
that
time
also
Thrace
,
Hellespont
,
all
Ionia
,
and
the
Ilandes
which
are
called
Ciclades
were
shaken
,
many
buildinges
in
Cuidus
and
Cous
fell
downe
,
but
at
Constantinople
,
and
in
the
Prouince
of
Bithinia
there
endured
mightie
showers
,
water
continually
falling
downe
from
heauen
in
maner
of
riuers
,
for
thrée
or
foure
dayes
.
The
Mountaynes
became

excéeding
greate
Villages
through

no

Great
waters
standing
.
Through
the
great
plentie
of
soyle
and
filth
in
certaine
Moores
there
became
Ilands
,
as
it
happened
in
Boaue
,
which
is
by
Nicomedia
,
many
other
things
happened
besides
:
there
were
also
sights
séene
in
the
Element
,
for
a
clowde
was
séene
for
forty
dayes
hauing
the
shape
of
a
trumpet
.
At
which
time
also
it
rayned
ashes
at
Constantinople
,
the
cloudes
being
turned
into
fire
,
whyche
ashes
laye
vpon
the
tyles
almost
a
handbroade
thicke
,
the
whych
was
a
moste
euident
token
of
the
burning
that
was
at
hande
,
wherefore
they
all
going
out
of
the
Citie
with
trembling
,
appeased
God
with
prayer
,
saying
that
God
would
abolish
all
things
with
a
fierie
rayne
:
at
last
when
God
was
turned
to
mercie
,
and
the
flame
quenched
,
the
horrible
ashes
fell
to
the
grounde
.
Hereof
Procopius
of
Cesaria
doth
also
make
mention
,
writing
that
this
fire
beganne
at
the
Mountaine
Pebius
,
from
whence
,
when
it
was
waxen
great
,
being
driuen
aloft
with
a
violent
winde
it
fell
downe
vpon
that
place
where
it
ceased
,
and
perchaunce
after
it
was
so
driuen
aloft
in
the
ayre
,
God
cast
it
vpon
those
places
whiche
were
to
be
punished
:
when
the
mouing
of
the
Earthe
which
we
haue
spoken
of
,
did
inuade
them
,
the
Emperour
Leo
fearing
him selfe
,
pitched
his
tabernacles
about
Saint
Mamant
,
refrayning
to
enter
the
Citie
for
sixe
monethes
,
and
by
that
meanes
thinking
that
he
should
auoide

wrath
,
there
folowed
a
pernitious

burning
of

before
the

of
Mau
.
K.
of
the
Romains
,
for
at
first
an
excéeding
great
Comet
was
séene
shining
for
many
dayes
:
In
Thrace
the
same
time
,
a
woman
brought
forth
a
child
altogither
monstrous
,
&
an
offence
to
nature
,
for
he
lacked
eyes
,
eyelids
,
&
eyebries
,
neither
had
he
iust
forme
&
likenes
in
the
rest
of
the
constitution
of
his
body
,
for
he
had
neither
hands
nor
armes
,
&
at
his
thigh
there
grewe
&
hung
down
the
taile
of
a
fishe
:
which
monster
when
Mauricius
the
Emperor
saw
,
he
commanded
it
to
be
slain
&
immediately
he
kist
the
sword
,
&
the
mother
which
brought
forth
the
monster
,
for
as
much
as
hir
fault
wrought
nothing
in
this
strange
miracle
,
was
discharged
of
crime
:
thē
also
the
best
of
the
Emperors
horsses
,
and
the
goodliest
to
behold
with
his
golden
furniture
,
vpon
the
sodain
fel
down
&
burst
in
sunder
,
&
in
the
stréets
of
the
suburbs
of
the
imperial
Citie
,
other
monsters
also
wer
born
:

The
19.
yere
of
the
Empire
of
Mauricius
when
Mena
bare
rule
in
Egipt
,
there
were
also
certain
monsters
séen
in
the
riuer
of
Nilus
,
for
after
the
ruler
came
to
Delta
(
this
place
is
famous
among
the
Egiptians
,
taking
name
of
the
forme
of
the
letter
)
&
early
in
the
morning
went
to
the
riuer
side
,
sodainly
a
certain
man
bringing
with
himself
a
horror
,
came
out
of
the
chanel
of
the
riuer
like
to
a
Giant
,
in
countenance
hauing
a
graue
looke
,
a
broune
haire
&
sprinckled
with
hoare
haires
,
a
great
brest
shewing
in
his
back
&
armes
a
valiantnes
,
&
shewing
himself
to
be
séene
as
far
as
the
shore
,
when
sometimes
he
lept
vp
aboue
the
water
,
but
hyding
the
rest
of
his
body
vnder
the
water
as
though
he
had
bin
a
shamed
,
couered
the
secrets
of
nature
.
When
the
captain
beheld
him
,
he
solemnly
again
&
again
adiured
him
,
if
he
were
a
Diuel
to
go
out
of
sight
,
&
to
get
himself
to
a
desart
,
but
if
he
wer
some
creature
,
he
adiured
him
that
he
should
not
go
out
of
sight
before
he
had
satisfied
all
men
with
his
straunge
presence
:
wherfore
the
liuing
creature
(
for
I
dare
not
cal
him
a
man
)
stoode
stil
a
long
time
,
being
bound
with
the
adiuration
&
let
al
men
sée
him
.
The
3.
day
after
in
the
morning
,
another
liuing
creature
also
in
the
forme
of
a
woman
(
for
nature
shewed
it
sufficiently
)
came
out
of
the
water
.
For
the
mildnes
of
hir
countenance
,
the
length
of
hir
haire
,
the
constitution
of
the
rest
of
hir
bodie
,
hir
haire
partly
folded
,
partly
lose
,
&
hir
goodly
fauor
shewed
hir
to
be
a
woman
,
but
hir
haire
was
somewhat
black
,
hir
face
white
,
hir
nose
reasonable
,
&
hir
fingers
séemely
,
hir
lips
tender
,
hir
breasts
round
&
smoth
,
&
hir
dugs
séemed
to
the
beholder
a
little
to
appeare
:
the
Riuer
hid
the
other
parts
of
a
woman
,
putting
away
the
secret
parts
from
the
beholders
,
as
from
those
which
had
not
receiued
secret
orders
.
Wherefore
the
captain
&
his
company
fed
their
eyes
with
that
sight
,
till
the
sun
going
down
,
at
which
time
those
liuing
creatures
also
entred
into
the
innermost
parts
of
the
riuer
,
when
they
had
shewed
themselues
to
be
séene
without
speaking
any
worde
,
for
with
domb
silence
they
appeared
to
their
louers
.
Of
all
these
vnlucky
tokens
the
Emperour
gathered
by
this
coniecture
,
a
gréeuous
end
of
all
things
,
and
at
that
time
he
was
sore
troubled
with
the
feare
of
that
which
fell
out
,
bycause
that
they
which
diligently
haue
written
histories
,
haue
left
in
writing
,
that
those
monstrous
shews
were
neuer

a
great
plague
,
which
by
little
and
little
inuaded
all
the
Ilands
of
the
Sea
,
and
al
Greece
.
It
is
a
maruailous
thing
,
and
worth
the
noting
,
which
Functius
singularly
reciteth
to
haue
happened
in
this
time
.
Haly
prince
of
the
Sarasens
at
Damascus
sent
in
banishmente
Peter
Archebishop
of
that
place
,
hauing
his
tongue
cut
off
,
to
the
furthermost
Arabia
to
Eudemon
because
that
he
fréely
reprooued
the
Sarasens
,
and
Maniches
,
of
their
errour
.
One
Peter
a
scribe
of
the
Sarasens
hearing
this
,
with
a
stoute
courage
withstoode
the
Sarasens
,
that
he
mighte
deserue
the
crown
of
Martyrdome
.
For
when
at
that
tyme
he
laye
sicke
of
a
gréeuous
disease
,
he
sent
for
the
chéefest
of
the
Arabians
to
come
vnto
him
,
whome
comming
according
vnto
their
custome
,
when
they
were
wont
to
receiue
of
him
before
their
reckninges
of
their
tribute
,
he
spake
vnto
after
this
sorte
,
Albeit
it
be
apparant
ynough
to
me
,
that
you
my
friendes
are
infidels
,
yet
because
that
you
haue
vouchsafed
to
visite
me
in
my
sicknesse
,
I
desire
and
beséeche
G●d
with
my
harte
,
to
yéelde
you
a
large
rewarde
,
and
I
will
haue
you
to
be
witnesses
of
my
will
,
whiche
I
nowe
make
,
and
I
earnestly
beséeche
you
,
that
you
receiuing
this
precepte
with
your
eares
,
would
lay
it
vp
in
the
bottome
of
your
harts
,

daylye
thinke
vpon
it
,
and
this
it
is
,
Whosoeuer
beléeueth
not
in
the
Father
,
the
Sonne
,
and
the
holy
Ghost
,
a
diuine
trinitie
in
vnitie
,
of
one
substaunce
,
he
is
deade
in
soule
,
and
worthy
of
euerlasting
punishment
.
Such
a
one
I
confesse
your
false
prophet
Mahomet
to
be
,
whome
I
nothing
doubte
to
bée
the
forrunner
of
Antichrist
.
Depart
you
,
then
depart
you
I
cal
heauen
and
earth
to

for
you
,
from
his
most
wicked
trifles

fables
,
for

I
counsayle

him
yée
be
punished
for
euer

The
A●abians
being
stricken
with
the
straungenesse
of
the
thing
,
and
supposing
that
the
man
doted
,
and
through
féeblenesse
had
lost
the
vse
of
reason
,
made
then
little
account
of
him
,
speaking
these
wordes
through
vnsensiblenesse
,
or
rather
madnesse
.
And
when
not
long
after
he
recouered
his
former
health
,
he
cried
out
with
a
lowder
voyce
than
euer
he
did
before
,
that
Mahomet
was
accursed
,
that
his
writing
was
ful
of
fables
,
and
that
all
they
that
did
obey
him
and
beléeue
in
him
,
shoulde
perishe
vnder
an
euerlasting
curse
,
and
when
he
had
proclaimed
this
often
and
openly
,
he
was
forciblye
taken
by
the
Sarasens
that
were
made
to
heare
him
,
and
was
beheded
,
and
became
(
as

By

(

It

reckened
in

that
very

with
their
thicknesse
they
séemed
to
darken
the
light
of

:
by
which
prodigious
sight
,
some
interpreted
that
that

which
4
yeres

was
figured

there
insued
an

did
interpret

When

that
were
the
patrons
of

,
a

violently
brake
in
péeces
,
without
any
styrring
it
,
and
is
sayd
to
haue
made
so
great
a
sounde
and
noyse
,
that
all
the
people
being
stricken
with
a
feare
trembled
,
as
if
the
Arches
of
the
Churche
shoulde
haue
fallen
.
The
same
yeare
the
thirde
of
October
the
greatest
parte
of
Thuringe
was
consumed
with
fire
,
and
moreouer
throughe
the
dissentions
of
the
Citizens
,
in
a
sedition
of
the
people
,
the
Citie
was
wonderfully
spoyled
by
taxes
of
the
Church
men

or
excommunications
.
The

yere
when
at

a

both

men
women
led
a
wanton
daunce
vpon
a
bridge
,
and
despised
and
scorned
a
Priest
whiche
reproued
them
for
so
doing
,
the
bridge
breaking
downe
,
they
fell
headlong
into
the
riuer
Mose
,
and
aboute
two
hundred
of
them
were
swallowed
vp
through
Gods
vengaunce
,
who
were
punished
for
contempt
of
their
religion
,
and
for
their
lightnesse
.
They
report
that
the

Alter

and
the
eyghte
moneth
dyed
,
after
whome
succéeded
Martine
the

Hamburg
a
Towne
of
Saxony
was
for
the
most

consumed
with
fyre
:
the
yeare
following
the
Germanes
destroyed
Pisa
.
In
the
Popedome
of
Martine
the
fourth
,
a
Noble
woman
that
was
the
Popes
necessarie
,
brought
forth
a
hearie
Boye
,
hauing
hands
and
féete
like
a
Beare
,
with
whiche
monstrous
byrth
the
Pope
being
sore
troubled
,
commaunded
all
the
Images
of
Beares
whiche
by
chaunce
were
in
her
house
to
be
put
out
,
for
a
manifest
argument
of
imagination
conceyued
by
her
in
conception
.
This
Monster
happened
the
first
yere
of
Pope
Martine
,
at
which
time
there
was
taken
a
Fish
in
the
Coasts
of
Tyrrhenia
at
a
place
called
Centum
celle
hauing
the
perfect
shape
of
a
Lyon
,
who
being
drawne
out
of

houled
like

then
by

Citie
:
the
Pope
and
all
the
people
were
astonied
to
sée
so
strange
a
shape
of
a
beast
.
But
I
sée
that
the
common
people
are
thus
perswaded
,
that
nothing
is
borne
in
any
part
of
nature
,
which
may
not
be
séene
in

the
other
two
yeares
after
:
There
followed
these
,
besides
a
cruell
pestilence
,
a
deadly
dissention
among
the
Electors
,
who
being
styrred
vp
by
Pope
Clement
,
deposed
Lewis
&
created
Charles
the
fourth
,
and
immediately
after
he
was
remoued
,
they
chose
Guntherus
Erle
of
Scuuartzburg
,
which
thing
caused
new
hurly
burly
,
and
again
they
ran
to
weapons
,
yet
not
long
after
Guntherus
being
poysoned
,
yielded
the
Empyre
to
Charles
.
There
appeared
thrée
Moones
in
the
Element
,
the
same
yere
Philip
king
of
Fraunce
died
.
At
a
village
in
a
valley
of
the
vppermost
part
of
the
riuer
Arnus
called
Tertaneum
,
a
Monster
was
borne
hauing
two
boyes
ioyned
together
at
the
nauel
,
who
on
the
one
side
had
his
members
and
two
weak
thighes
,
but
on
the
other
side
there
was
but
one
vnperfite
thigh
,
and
he
liued
a
daye
.
When
Lewis
king
of
Fraunce
was
dead
,
Iohn
his
sonne
,
being
yet
a
Boy
,
succéeded
for
twentie
dayes
,
after
whome
Philip
the
brother
of
Lewis
raigned
fyue
yeares
.
The
same
yeare
also
Pope
Iohn
the
〈◇〉
.
of
that
name
was
chosen
Pope
,
when
the
seate
had
bene
emptie
for
two
yeres
and
thrée
monethes
.
In
the
firste
day
of
Iune
there
was
a
terrible
earthquake
in
Germany
,
and
the
5.
day
of
the
same
moneth
there
was
seene
a
red
Circle
about
the
sun
,
and
neare
it
there
appeared
two
Crosses
standing
oute
,
and
the
same
yere
throughout
all
the
Imperiall
cities
of
Sinedon
,
there
were
cruell
fiers
,
floods
of
Water
,
robberies
and
seditions
.
In
Englande
the
Sunne
appeared
as
blood
,
and
continued
sixe
houres
,
shortelye
after
the
Scottes
inuaded
the
borders
.
There
brake
out
a
great
streame
of
fyre
from
foure
déepe
holes
of
the
mountaine
Aeanc
:
the
fyre
thereof
was
fearefull
to
beholde
in
the
nighte
,
neyther
did
it
shine
as
other
fyre
:
and
in
the
day
it
burned
dimme
,
no
otherwise
than
kindled
Sulpher
,
of
which
matter
the
Mountayne
is
full
.
The
Auncientes
write
much
of
this
mountaine
,
but
specially
Strabo
,
who
affirmed
that
he
had
bene
at
the
toppe
of
the
mountayne
,
and
hadde
diligentlye
considered
all
thinges
,
some
say
that
there
are
meruailous
alterations
in
the
toppe
of
it
,
for
otherwhile
it
belcheth
out
a
flerie
streame
,
otherwhile
a
flame
of
fire
or
duskish
smoke
:
moreouer
this
is
muche
to
be
meruailed
at
,
touching
the
heate
of
that
fire
,
that
it
can
be
alayde
with
no
colde
,
nor
colde
can
be
dissolued
by
that
heate
,
for
the
vppermost
part
of
the
Mountayne
is
full
of
ashes
,
which
in
the
Winter
are
couered
with
snow
,
and
the
highest
part
of
the
hill
is
plaine
,
and
doth
comprehende
in
compasse
about
20.
furlonges
,
that
is
halfe
a
Germane
mile
,
which
is
a
myle
and
a
halfe
English
,
in
the
middle
whereof
there
riseth
a
little
hill
of
ashes
from
whence
sometimes
fire
and
sometime
smoke
doth
breathe
:
in
the
night
season
fire
is
séene
on
the
top
of
the
hil
,
but
commonly
in
the
day
time
a
duskish
smoke
ascendeth
:
yet
in
our
time
when
the
combustible
matter
was
thought
to
be
spent
or
consumed
by
the
fire
,
nothing
was
séene
to
assende
from
the
Mountaine
but
a
dim
vapour
.
The
Sunne
and
the
Moone
were
eclipsed
,
the
same
yere
the
Greekes
inuading
the
Germanes
styrred
vp
a
great
warre
,
which
the
yeares
following
was
oftentimes
renewed
.
The
Pisans
tooke
Peter
of
Corbona
the
false
Bishop
(
whome
the
Emperoure
Lewis
passing
into
Germany
lefte
at
Pisa
)
and
sent
him
to
Pope
Iohn
then
abiding
at
Auinion
to
whom
he
confessing
his
errour
,
with
much
entreatie
obtained
his
life
,
vntil
that
3
yere
after
he
being
kept
in
an
honest
prison
died
.
The
seuenth
of
the
kalendes
of
Iulie
continuall
lightninges
,
&
scortching
flashes
made
men
afrayde
,
and
slue
many
,
vilages
&
Townes
were
purged
with
sacrifises
and
offringes
.
There
were
great
flouds
of
Water
.
The
same
yere
at
Constancia
by
the
méere
Acronium
for
the
hurting
and
ill
handling
of
Christians
nine
Iewes
were
slayn
with
the
sword
,
sixe
drowned
,
and
twelue
burned
.
The
Riuer
Arnus
rose
wonderfullye
with
continuall
rayne
,
and
ouerthrew
thrée
Bridges
at
Florens
,
with
part
of
the
walles
of
the
Citie
,
and
the
buildinges
that
stoode
next

to
the
excéeding
feare
of
the
Citizens
.
The
yere

Pope
Iohn

and
Philip
king
of
Fraunce
together
with
the
Venetians
prepared
a
Nauie
for
the
defence
of
the
Gree●es
,
wherewith
they
ouercame
and
discomfited
the
Turkes
.
There
were

and
this
was
reckened
and
obserued
as
a
prodigie
,
as
if
it
portended
something
.
At
Hamburge
about
the
same
time
there
was
a
sedition
and
no
small
sturre
,
because
that
the
churchmen
being
against
the
Magistrates
would
after
their
opinion
and
will
correct
and
punish
all
whoredome
,
which
controuersie
notwithstanding
(
and
strife
)
the
Bishop
of
Breme
ended
.
There
appeared
a
fearefull
Comet
for

moreouer
a

of
Grashoppers
at

A

to
the
great
feare
of

through

there
ensued
a
cursed
plague
,
which
for
thrée
yeares
together
raigned
almost
ouer
the
whole
worlde
,
for
firste
it
créeping
into

and
many
places

at

it
tooke
away
sixe
thousand

.
In
Germanye
this
yere
the
plague
made
so
great
a
spoyle
and
through
all
Europe
,
the
lyke
whereof
no
manne
hath
redde
in
Historyes
to
haue
béene
among
menne
.
Iewes
were
defamed
for
it
,
that
they
had
bin
causers
of
it
by
poysoning
of
Fountaynes
,
and
therefore
they
were
burned
euery
where
,
some
were
found
as
the
authours
of
all
inchantments
,
and
met
together
in
Spaine
about
their
sorcerye
,
likewise
about
the
murthering
of
many
children
,
about
the
falsification
of
debts
by
writings
,
&
money
,
whervpon
the
people
being
in
a
rage
drew
them
all
to
punishmente
.
The
Iewes
were
burned
in
many
places
,
and
when
they
sawe
they
coulde
not
escape
,
they
shutte
themselues
within
their
houses
,
and
burned
themselues
together
with
the
places
adioyning
.
It
is
said
that
at
Mogunce
the

grew
so

Many
of
the
Iewes
also
were
christned
,
few
for
the
loue
of
God
,
but
rather
for
feare
of
punishment
,
the
Cities
of
the
Empyre
pulled
downe
Iewes
houses
,
and
of
the
stones
of
them
&
of
their
Churcheyards
,
they
built
Towers
and
Walles
.
To
conclude
all
places
were
full
of
styrre

that

in

he
had
a
fearefull
dreame

wherein
to
him
it
séemed
that
he
saw
deformed
Images
like
terrible
Deuils
,
which
pulled

haled
him
,
not
suffering
him
to
take
any
rest
,
which
strange
vision
greatly
apalled
his
former
courage
:
notwithstanding
his
hope
of
victorie
,
he
was
slaine
as
a

caried

the
excesse
of
nature
.
There
were
all
thinges
more
filthie
in

which
in

was
borne

hauing

many

,
and
besides
many
things
foule
to
be
spoken
:
he
hadde
his
genitals
growing
to
his
neck
,
and
for
this
cause
they
like
not
to
bring
him
abrode
(
and
as
oftentimes
it
commeth
to

,
that
all

deceiue

There
was
séene
a
great
number
of
excellent
Faulcons
flying
together
nere

,
which
was
accounted
a

,
because

doth
for

abhorre

The

that
he
saw
at
Mogunce
,
and
affyrmed
that
they
were
at
that
tyme
sixe

olde
:
they
were
constrayned
to
go
together
,
to
sléepe
and
ryse
together
,
and
when
one
wente
forwarde
,
the
other
wente
backwarde
:
their
noses
did
almost
touche
,
their
eyes
coulde
not
sée
forwarde
,
but
of
one
side
,
because
their
foreheades
didde
cleaue
together
alittle
aboue
theyr
eyes
:
they
lyued
till
they
were
tenne
yeares
olde
,
and
then
when
one
dyed
,
and
was
cutte
from
her
that
suruiued
,
the
other
not
long
after
died
also
eyther
through
the
wound
whiche
she
hadde
in
her
heade
,
or
rather
of
the
stinche
of
the
Wounde
,
and
corrupte
rottennesse
that
was
in
the
brayne
:
the
cause
of
this
Monster
was
this
,
two
Women
spake
together
,
one
of
whiche
was
with
child
,
and
the
thirde
comming
vppon
the
sodayne
knocked
both
their
heades
together
as
they
were
talking
,
wherewith
the
woman
with
child
being
afrayd
made
a
token
of
the
knock
in
her
child
.
This
yere
the
Turke
prepared
a
great
hoast
against
the

,

in

there
was
helde
a

touching
the

of

resembled
an

Beast
:
he
had
a

belly
trimlye
set
out

was
couered
all

an

and
an

first
he
was

his
lims
were
perfecte

rose

it
was
no

the

That

If

Haue

These

where
there
is
no
féeding

there

no

for

his
vickar
,
whose

he
supplyeth
,
and
whom

and
Hieronimus
sayeth
,
it
is
no
easie
matter
to

in

to

certayne

so
great
a

taketh
aduise
with

they
concluded
together
that

should
denie
it
to

,
the

asked
for

,

that

wondered
at

daring

,
when
he
had
geuen
nothing
to
kéepe

most
spightfully
railed
against

:
the
souldier
being
ouercome
with
the
gréeuousnesse
of
the
matter
,
answered
against
the
womans
vntroth
,
wherefore
the

as
it
were
in

thruste
the

forth

being

greatlye
mooued

besought
helpe

made
complaynt
that

the

aresting
the

caryed
him
to

he
hadde
done
open
vyolence
:
A
fewe
dayes
after
the
Counsayle
of

had
the
hearing
of
the
braule
,
it
was
euident
that
the

was
openlye
assaulted
,
wherefore
sentence
was
giuen
that
the
Souldier
should
be
put
to
death
,
and
when
the
day
of
iudgement
was
now
at
hande
,
the
Diuell
appeared
to
the
Souldier
in
the
prison
,
shewing
him
what
sentence
the
Iudges
would
giue
,
and
promised
that
he
would
deliuer
him
out
of
this
daunger
,
vnder
the
condicion
that
he
would
giue
himselfe
vnto
him

the
souldyer
stoutly
answered
,
that
hée
would
rather
dye
,
though
he
were
innocent
.
When
the
Deuill
with
many
wordes
had
heaped
vp
his
daunger
and
yet
could
not
turne
the
Souldiers
minde
,
at

he
promised
his
deliueraunce
withoute
any
condition
:
When
thou
commest
,
sayde
he
,
to
be
araigned
,
saye
that
thou
art
ignorant
of
matters
in
Law
,
and
that
thou
wantest
a
Lawyer
,
I
will
stande
there
in
a

set
out
with
Feathers
,
wherfore
make
request
that

would
bid
me
to

whiche
séemed
to
doe
this
without
any

,
saide
that

woulde
followe

The
next
day
after
he
was
brought
to
his
Araignment
,

the
pleader
was
there
present
in

:
when
the
plaintife
besought
that
the
Souldier
might
be
put
to
death
,
for
common
violence
,
the
Souldier
aunswered
,
that
he
being
ignoraunt

matters
in
Lawe
,
woulde
beséeche
their
Worships
that
they
would
vouchsafe
to
heare
this
his
aduocate
or
Atorney
,
to
pleade
for
him
:
the
Iudges
graunted
it
,
the
Diuell
did
then
learnedly
argue
according
to
the
Law
,
that
he
should
not
be
put
to
death
,
by
whome
the
beginning
of
strife
and
tumult
did
not
arise
:
he
sayd
that
the
Souldyer
was
violently
thrust
out
and
spoyled
by
his
Hoste
,
he
commaunded
the
bag
of
money
to
be
sought
for
,
and
shewed
the
place
where
it
was
:
the
Host
stifly
denyed
it
,
adding
moreouer
cruel
and
deadly
wishes
,
that
the
Deuil
might
take
body
and
soule
of
him
if
he
had
done
it
,
when
sundry
times
he
had
repeated
this
kinde

Deuill

putting

scituate

a

of

yeres

fel
oftentimes
into
a
traunce
,
who
comming
to
himself
after
many
torments
of
the
body
,
shakings
of
the
brest
,
and
sweates
,
in
a
great
assembly
of
all
men
,
and
to
their
wonder
,
recited
certain
things
that
were
reuealed
to
him
from
aboue
,
&
he
said
that
he
was
forced
by
Gods
commaundment
,
that
he
being
nowe
a

,
&
setting
al
perill
of

should
vtter
to
the
people
Gods
truth
,
who
hytherto
hadde
refused
the
warninges
of
the
Elders
by
Gods
worde
.
Wherefore
he
tolde
the
people
not
publiquelye
but
in
pryuate
houses
,
not
Boye
lyke
,
but
with
greate
Grauitie
,
manye
thinges
of
GOD
,
of
his
workemanship
,
Iustice
,
grace
,
long
suffering
likewise
of
Iesus
Christ
,
whose
passyon
he
was
able
to
recite
in
order
from
the
Lordes
Supper
euen
to
the
ende
:
he
called
the
people
standing
about
his
bedde
(
where
hée
laye
)
to
repentaunce
,
saying
that
the
daye
of
the
last
iudgemente
was
euen
at
hande
,
and
that
he
knewe
this
by
a
Starre
of
thrée
beames
whiche
hee
tolde
them
he
had
séene
,
among
whiche
the
first
of
the
beames
whiche
was
of
a
redde
coloure
signified
Warre
,
and
a
moste
bloodye
slaughter
of
men
.
The
second
,
which
was
of
a
white
colour
,
a
great
pestilence
among
people
,
which
scarsely
the
third
person
coulde
escape
.
The
third
,
whiche
was
of
a
yellow
coloure
,
whose
signification
he
would
not
reueale
.
Hée
enuyed
wonderfully
agaynste
Priestes
,
because
they
offered
agayne
Christ
crucified
in
the
masse
,
being
once
offered
for
the
sinnes
of
the
people
,
and
solde
him
but
for
foure
halfe
pence
:
When
he
had
detested
the
worshipping
of
all
Idols
,
Loftinesse
,
Pryde
,
Whoredome
,
Adulterie
,
Dronkennesse
,
and
other
haynous
offences
,
by
the
whiche
manne
sinneth
agaynste
Gods
holy
lawe
,
he
beganne
to
exhort
them
that
stoode
by
him
,
to
the
loue
of
their
Neighboure
,
to
Humanitie
,
Bountifulnesse
and
Méekenesse
,
yet
among
other
thinges
he
spewed
out
deadlye
poyson
while
he
spake
many
thinges
agaynste
the
Holye
Trinitie
and
merite
of
our
Sauiour
Christe
,
touching
intercession
of
the
Virgine
Marie
touching
the
darkenesse
betwéene
hell
,
and
the
habitation
of
the
godly
,
and
many
other
thinges
by
the
which
accursed
Sathan
(
to
the
end
he
might
deceiue
the
simpler
sort
)
poureth
out
deadly
poyson
by
the
meanes
of
a
most
innocent
childe
vnder
the
pretence
of
the
truth
.
A
strange
thing
,
no
lesse
miraculous
,
also
is
set
downe
to
happen
in
the
Cite
of
Paris
,
of
a
Chanon
which
for
his
wicked
life
(
the
body
being
set
in
the
Church
)
being
at
the
fourth
Lesson
,
a
voice
was
heard
which
sayd
Condemnatus
sum
:
after
these
words
red
Responde
mihi
which
was
that
he
was
damned
for
his
liuing
:
it
might
peraduenture
craftily
be
done
by
an
illusion
for
the
fearing
of
their
idolatrous
religion
to
be
diminished
,
&
therby
to
account
their
Chanon
an
Heretike
,
for
some
tast
of
the
truth
.
Otherwise
I
referre
this
strange
hap
to
the
consideration
of
the

wher
of
I
wil
speake
hereafter
in

place
.
Hernan
Lopes
de
Castanneda
Cronicler
to
the
King
of
Porting●le
in
the
eight
booke
of
his
Cronicle
,
recordeth
that
Nuno
de
Acuna
being
Viceroy
and
gouernour
of
the
Portingale
Indians
in
the
yeare
of
our
Lord
153.
there
was
a
man
that
all
other
maruelled
at
bycause
it
was
auouched
by
verye
great
proofe
and
witnesse
,
that
he
had
then
liued
340.
yeares
:
he
remembred
when
that
Citie
was
not
builded
,
being
one
of
the
gretest
forces
of
the
Indies
He
had
growen
yong
agayn
foure
times
,
quitting
himselfe
of
his
hoare
hayres
and
wrinckles
,
and
hauing
new
téeth
and
gummes
,
whom
when
the
viceroy
sawe
,
the
haire
of
his
heade
and
beard
,
being
but
little
,
was
blacke
,
and
calling
for
a
Phisition
,
commaunded
him
to
féele
hys
pulse
who
founde
him
as
strong
as
if
he
had
bin
a
very
yong
youth
.
Thys
man
in
his
youth
had
bin
a
Gentile
,
and
afterward
became
a
Moore
,
he
was
borne
in
the
kingdome
of
Vengala
,
and
affirmed
that
he
had
at
times
about
seauen
hundreth
wiues
,
some
of
which
dyed
,
and
others
he
had
put
away
.
The
King
of
Portingale
was
tolde
of
this
man
,
who
maketh
reckning
of
him
,
and
his
Armadas
(
which
are
great
and
mightie
ships
,
whiche
trafficke
to
the
Indies
)
did
yerely
bring
him
certaine
tydings
that
he
was
aliue
,
and
(
as
they
say
)
he
is
yet
:
so
that
he
is
now
at
this
present
aboue
three
hundered
thrée
score
and
ten
yeres
old
.
Moreouer
the
same
Cronicler
sayth
that
at
that
time
that
Nuno
de
Acuna
was
gouernoure
there
,
there
was
in
the
City
of
Vengala
another
man
a
Moore
,
whom
they
called
Xequepir
,
born
in
a
Countrey
called
Xeque
,
that
was
by
report
thrée
hundred
yeares
olde
,
and
all
they
that
knewe
him
,
affirmed
it
,
bycause
he
hath
great
tokens
and
witnesse
thereof
.
This
More
was
helde
of
others
as
holy
,
for
his
harde
and
abstinente
life
,
and
the
Portingales
had
greate
friendship
and
acquaintance
with
him
:
and
albeit
the
Chronicles
ar
not
so
true
,
that
nothing
is
written
in
them
but
is
most
assured
,
&
that
I
can
very
hardly
beléeue
it
:
yet
there
are
many
witnesses
in
Portingale
and
Castile
which
saw
it
,
and
knewe
it
was
certaine
and
true
.
In
these
things
there
are
some
secrete
misteries
whiche
we
vnderstand
not
nor
comprehende
.
This
is
recorded
in
the
booke

succéeded

secondarily
there
appeared
a

side
,
and
not

from

,
a
man
drawing
water
,
whom
at

a

Dragon
pursued
:
the

some
vanished
away
,

the
other
were
long
to
be
séen

Of
these

At

there
was
hearde
a
Tempestuous
thunder
,
contrarie
to
the
season
of
the

.
In
the
vpper
Germany
there
arose
a
greate
and
vnseasonable
floud
of
water
.
The
mountaine
Aetna
burned
againe
,
at
which
time
a
fiery
masse
of
a
wonderful
greatnesse
,
made
of
kindled
sulpher
,
fell
downe
from
the
toppe
of

with
a

tumbled
down
not

scattering
abrode

,
(
for

contayneth

)
and
finally
the
top
of

Hill
throughe
the
continual
flames
falling
downe
on

side
,
the

became
greater
,
the
Ball
of
fire
which
is
manifest
to

appeared
in
the
day
time
to
the
beholders
dead
or
duskie
,
but
in
the
night
altogither
fiery
and
dreadfull
.
There
was
heard
also
continuall
thunder
for
manye
dayes
,
whiche
made
men
afrayde
:
and
not
only
Sicilia
but
also
a
parte
of
Calabria
was
couered
with
the
burnt
and
blacke
ashes
,
and
all
the
Element
was
ouercaste
with
the
noysome
smoke
which
they
that
inhabite
those
Countreyes
can
testify
.
The
fire
was
helde
in
many
yeres
,
in
which
time
many
kinds
of
good
trées
grew
vp
at
the

withdrew

where
one
riding
on

a

tempest
hapned
ouer
the

,
the
like
whereof
was
neuer
scarsely
heard
of
,
for
by
reason
of
a
Thunder
the
Citie
was
in
such
a
feare
,
that
moste
men
thoughte
that
the
latter
iudgement
was
at
hande
,
or
that
the
Citie
should
be
destroyed
,
for
there
followed
that
feareful
cracking
of
the
Cloudes
,
a
cloudye
lightning
,
and
an
intollerable
sulpherous
stinke
,
neyther
did
any

knowe
what
was
done
,
but
those
that
were
taken
with

with

,
vntill
at

a

that
the

had
stricken
the
Sand

,
where
there
were
layde
vp
eightie
Vessels
of
Gunpouder
,
whose
sodayne
setting
on
fyre
made
so
greate
a
confusion
in
the
Citie
,
that
no
man
didde
euer
sée
a
more
wonderfull
sighte
:
The
Sandegate
was
destroyed
in
the
twinkling
of
an
eye
,
and
beaten
into
smal
péeces
,
and
not
only
the
Foundations
of
the
Towre
,
but
also
the
Stones
of
the
Walles
neare
too
were
pulled
vp
from
the
Foundation
,
and
scattered
ouer
all
the
Citie
,
and
whiche
more
is
,
the
Ditche
water
was
vpon
the
sodayne
dryed
vp
with
the
force
of
the
heate
of
the
kindled
Gunpouder
:
wherefore
the
next
daye
in
the
morning
there
were
founde
all
about
that
place
as
it
was
thoughte
thrée
hundred
deade
Carcasses
,
and
one
hundred

fiftie

there
was
also
found
a

in

Tempest
who
going

who
comming
out
thrée

asked
whether

To

,
it
was
a
miserable
sight
to
sée
that

called
Margaret
by

through
a
gréeuous
sicknesse

extreame
paynes
of
the
belly
did
so
swell
,
that
the
greatnesse
of
her
Bellye
was
séene
of
many
to
couer
her
face
,
and
in
compasse
to
be
more
than
tenne
handbreadths
:
she
sayde
that
she
fed
diuers
kind
of
liuing
Creatures
in
her
belly
,
whereas
notwithstanding
she
did
neither
eate
nor
drinke
,
but
onelye
was
refreshed
with
Pothicarie
confections
and
smell
of
hearbes
and

.
There
were
heard
by
those
that
stoode

laye

the

to
the
ende
she
might
make

wherefore
when
the
report
of
that
thing
waxed
rife
,
not
onely
in
Townes
,
but
also
abrode
in
Villages
and
places
adioyning
,
and
immediatelye
almost
throughout
all
Germany
so
great
a
hugenesse
of
the
mayden
was
behelde
daylye
of
manye
straungers
,
with
no
lesse
compassion
than
wonder
,
and
was
inriched
with
many
gifts
,
many
Phisitions

Surgeons
were
asked
counsaile
of

at

also
the
Phisitions
of
the
Emperour
Charle●
the

,
and
of
Ferdinandus
king
of

Romanes

Hungary
came
thither
,
accompanyed
with
certayne
Nobles

Gentlemen
,
who
notwithstanding
found
therin
no
deceite
:
but
when
the
disease
had
continued
almost
foure
yeares
,
and
that
it
séemed
that
her
gréefes
grew
more
and
more
,
the
Magistrate
of
the
Citie
(
whether
moued
through
pitie
or
ill
suspition
I
knowe
not
)
sending
for
the
maydens
parentes
,
asked
them
whether
through
the
counsayle
of
the
Phisitions
by
making
an
incision
they
desired
to
haue
their
Daughter
deliuered
of
so
great
tormentes
,
to
whome
the
father
a
simple
and
a
harmlesse
man
made
answere
,
that
he
was
willing
to
haue
his
Daughter
committed
to
Gods
goodnesse
and
lawfull
remedies
of
Phisitions
,
but
the
Mother
being
guiltie
of
the
misfact
,
would
not
haue
them
attempte
anye
thing
to
her
Daughters
daunger
,
and
whiche
more
is
,
she
sayde
that
she
woulde
praye
that
Gods
vengeaunce
might
light
vppon
him
if
they
slue
her
yong
daughter
.
There
were
also
some
sente
vnto
the
diseased
to
cal
to
remembraunce
that
they
many
times
besought
helpe
of
Phisitions
,
and
that
therfore
they
were
now
present
to
the
end
they
might
either
asswage
by
some
meanes
the
extremitie
of
the
sicknesse
,
or
else
by
Gods
helpe
mighte
quite
take
it
away
,
but
she
being
first
suborned
by
her
mother
,
answered
that
she
would
suffer
with
a
patient
minde
,
without
any
Phisick
,
the
extremity
of
the
sicknesse
,
and
the
Crosse
that
God
had
layde
vpon
her
,
vntill
it
pleased
the
goodnesse
of
God
to
deliuer
her
,
when
now
by
foure
yeres
by
God
only
she
had
ouercome
all
the
crueltie
of
the
disease
:
but
the
Magistrate
of
Esting
being
better
content
with
her
Fathers
answere
,
sent
at
length
a
Doctor
of
Phisick
with
thrée
Chirurgians
,
&
a
Midwife
,
to
search
the
Maydens
bellye
by
incision
.
They
came
into
the
chamber
,
where
they
founde
her
swollen
and
bounde
with
cloutes
,
they
drue
away
the
couerings
from
her
crying
,
they
applyed
their
toole
,
and
found
her
belly
made
by
hand
with
great
skill
stuffed
vp
with
pillowes
,
and
other
light
matter
,
with
diuers
bowes
with
which
her
bellye
was
made
round
wherefore
when
this
was
pulled
off
by
the
Midwife
they
saw
the
mayden
starke
naked
with
as
well
a
compact
and
as
faire
a
body
as
might
be
:
when
now
the

the

was
séene

not
with

sad
,
but
with
a
bloodye
chéere
,
almost
for
4
whole
houres
,
to
the
great
astonishment
of
many
which
day
when
I
had
noted
in

,
I
found
out
afterward
that
the

Iohn
Frederike
Prince
of
Saxony
that
moste
holy
and
constant
Gouernour
in

was

The

at

as

writeth
,
the
Images
of

were
séene

At

a

of

a
monstrous
childe
was
borne
,
for
in

appeared
neither

sauing
that
his

about
his

hong
farre

bent
his

he
had
his

hadde

Aboute
this
time
of
Carolus
Quintus
the
Emperour
,
there
happened
a
maruellous
strange
alteration
in
nature
no
lesse
wonderfull
then
most
assured
true
:
a
yong
Gentleman
of
noble
parentage
,
in
the
Court
of
the
Emperour
,
where
he
the
sayde
Gentleman
defloured
a
yong
Gentlewoman
,
whome
he
loued
excéedingly
,
was
notwithstanding
his
loue
towardes
her
for
the
rash
fact
committed
to
prison
,
where
looking
for
none
other
but
the
rigour
of
the
Lawe
,
whiche
among
the
Germanes
is
seuere
punishmente
(
namely
death
)
the
Gentleman
languishing
the
nighte
in
deadly
gréefe
of
mynde
,
became
through
feare
so
altered
the
next
morning
,
that
being
brought
forth
to
the
execution
was
not
known
of
his
kéepers
,
nor
of
any
other
.
This
strange
altered
creature
being
brought
before
the
Emperour
,
his
youthfull
face
wan
and
pale
,
his
fresh
coloured
heare
tourned
into
gray
as
if
he
had
bene
a
man
of
great
yeares
,
his
beard
slauered
and
filthie
with
driueling
,
the
Emperour
beholding
so
straunge
and
sodayne
a
sighte
,
supposed
the
straunge
hap
to
be
but
a
shift
,
for
the
sauegarde
of
the
Gentleman
to
put
som
other
in
his
place
,
the
matter
examined
it
was
found
manifest
that
the
said
straunge
alteration
come
through
an
ouernatured
feare
,
whose
Maiestie
being
astonied
at
the
sight
thereof
pardoned
the
offender
,
and
remitted
his
offence
,
estéeming
the
feare
for
the
fact
a
sufficient
punishment
.

with
standerds
of

,
fighting
fiercely
togither
in

almost
for

:
there
was
such
a

in

that
many
thought

The

running

in
greate

The
23.
of

at

there
besel
a
strange
thing
,
whereat
also

himselfe
was
present
.
Iames
Philippus
Cernuscus
commaunded
a
priuy
to
be
digged
in

,
and
to
be
vawted
.
When

was
finished
,
he
commaunded
it
to
be
shut
vp
:
●0
.
dayes
after
he
opened
it
,
and
commaunded
that
the
woodden
arches
should
be
taken
out
,
a
workeman
went
down
by
a
ladder
,
when
he
came
to
the
middle
of
the
ladder
he
fell
downe
deade
,
when
the
maister
saw
that
he
came
not
againe
,
he
also
went
down
,
&
when
he
came
thyther
he
by
and
by
fel
downe
,
the
standers
by
sent
the
third
,
who
when
he
was
amidst
the
ladder
saide
,
be
of
good
cheare
for
I
will
bring
out
the
rest
,
but
when
his
heade
was
vnder
the
vaute
he
by
and
by
fell
downe
deade
,
the
fourth
also
fel
downe
deade
,
the
fifth
whiche
was
called
Matto
,
(
which
signifyeth
in
their
language
a
foole
)
a
very
strong
felow
,
went
down
,
but
his
head
did
not
fayle
him
,
and
with
his
hooke
he
drewe
vp
one
of
the
deade
,
whervpon
he
being
the
more
imboldened
returned
and
went
down
thither
,
so
that
he
went
down
vnder
the
vaute
,
who
immediately
fel
down
:
they
perceyuing
that
he
yet
hadde
breath
drewe
him
out
by
little
and
little
and
recouered
him
,
yet
he
remained
dumbe
till
the
Sunnes
rising
the
next
daye
.
This
is
more
to
be
wondered
at
,
that
the
priuie
wente
downe
as
farre
as
a
spring
,
and
the
house
standeth
in
a

agaynste

At

safely
from

mouth
of

behelde

was
drawen
out

bycause
there
appered
no

cause
,
there
were
some
that
thought
that
there
was
a
Cockatrix
in
it

whiche
when

they
found
nothing

as
many
as
were
present

els
that

those
things
that
were

Ierom
Cardane
a
man
of
great
learning
hath
written
that
a
whales
heade
being
drawen
out
of
the
sea
at
Genoa
,
lay
long
vpon
the
shore
,
which
was
so
greate
,
that
the
space
betwéene
the
vpper
iaw
and
the
neather
,
contayned
nintéene
paces
,
(
so
many
yards
)
and
in
Cardanes
iudgemente
nothing
was
signifyed
by
this
monster
,
but
that
Cyrna
being
loste
,
the
heade
shoulde
remaine
,
the
body
being
comsumed
:
for
Genoa
by
reason
of
the
Lordship
,
and
littlenesse
of
it
,
supplyeth
the
place
of
the
heade
,
Cyrna
of
the
body
.
If
they
had
in
due
time
interpreted
this
forewarning
,
they
might
haue
fortifyed
their
Castels
against
the
Turkes
nauie
,
which
happened
a
yere
after
,
whereby
they
mighte
neither
haue
lost
the
Iland
nor
spente
so
muche
mony
,
now
hereby
al
Europe
grew
in
feare
and
also
became
in
danger
,
for
as
al
these
things
séeme
superstitious
,
yet
these
strange
sights
ioined
with
natural
prudencie
may
be
obserued
very
profytably
for
the
common
wealthes
preseruation
.
For
the
heade
of
so
great
a
sea
Monster
coulde
not
be
cut
off
,
eyther
by
a
greater
sea
Monster
,
or
by
a
Gunne
or
any
other
chaunce
,
but
if
so
be
it
were
slaine
at
once
by
some
chaunce
or
violence
,
and
that
the
necke
being
writhen
asunder
,
the
body
shoulde
consume
and
the
head
be
left
,
how
commeth
it
to
passe
,
that
the
heade
did
not
first
putrify
or
consume
?
or
howe
coulde
the
necke
be
broken
of
,
which
in
the
Whales
kind
is
not
much
lesse
then
the
head
so
that

are
saide
to

To

nothing

This
writeth
Cardanus
in
his
fourtéenth
booke
Chap.
74.
of
the
varietie
of
things
.
There
was
séene
a
prodigie
neare
the
Towne
of
Zoped
which
Fincelius
described
,
the
Sun
arose
bloudy
,
ouer
whom
stoode
a
gorgeous
house
which
was
burned
at
both
sids
of
the
sun
,
there
stoode
vpright
a
high
Piller
,
like
to
the
pillers
of
Hercules
,
as
are
commonly
pointed
(
which
take
name
of
two
Mountaines
standing
in
the
vtmost
coast
of
Spaine
and
Affricke
whiche
Hercules
commaunded
to
be
set
in
that
place
,
as
a
signe
of
victorie
against
théeues
)
and
the
Pillers
were
coloured
like
the
Rainebow
,
yet
wer
they
not
arched
but
stoode
vpright
,
whose
baces
séemed
to
touch
the
ouershewe
of
the
grounde
,
and
to
spreade
themselues
far
abroade
.
The
nexte
daye
the
Sunne
rose
in
the
morning
with
a
chaunged
coloure
somewhat
pale
,
the
house
as
before
stoode
verye
bryghte
and
shyning
,
the
Pyllers
also
shewed
themselues
agayne
imbracyng
the
Sunne
in
the
middle
,
but
not
so
playnelye
as
it
dydde
at
the
firste
daye
.
And
they
were
séene
in
the
ayre
,
but
no
more
to
touche
the
ground
.
At
Rome
in
the
hospital
or
place
where
fatherlesse
children
are
cherished
,
as
Cardanus
hath
written
,
all
the
gyrles
which
were
in
number
about
7.
became
possessed
,
neither
any
of
them
for
two
yeres
space
coulde
be
gouerned
,
whereo●re
the
cause
may
come
of
the
exhalation
of
the
place
,
or
of
the
water
,
for
the
water
doth
change
heares
and
humoures
:
it
may
also
be
a
deceit
.
So
the
same
Cardan
doth
witnesse
that
he
knewe
a
man
who
being
a
boye
,
counterfeyted
for
sixe
yeres
and
more
that
he
sawe
the
Deuill
,
to
the
end
he
might
liue
more
at
libertie
,
and
make
men
to
maruaile
at
him
,
and
also
followed
his
vnbrideled
pleasure
.
Many
thinges
happen
among
men
,
but
if
one
with
a
constant
minde
doe
consider
with
himselfe
,
he
shall
easily
smell
out
that
all
such
thinges
are
vayne
and
full
of
deceyte
:
but
who
doubteth
to
be
possessed
with
a
diuell
or
to
be
mad
is
not
vayne
?
I
would
to
God
it
were
:
wherefore
if
this
happened
without
counterfeiting
,
it
declared
the
lewdenesse
of
times
to
come
,
and
of
prelates
,
for
as
harmelesse
age
doeth
growe
to
a
wicked
example
,
so
they
whiche
ought
to
beare
rule
in
religion
shall
be
geuen
ouer
to
a
reprobate
sence
,
wherevpon
they
being
accursed
,
shall
not
onely
be
hissed
at
and
scorned
,
but
also
shall
be
damned
.

it
happened
that
a

being
borne
was
christened
in

after
a
direfull
maner
was
against
the
Curate
that
was
about
to
christen
him
,
by
turning
of
his

,
by
crying
out
and
diuers
gestures
,
that
he
made
all
the
standers
by
afrayde
,
at

the
Pastor
making
feruent
prayer
to
God
christened
the
childe
,
he
had
vpon
the
toppe
of
his
head
a
lumpe
of
fleshe
bearing
the
Image
of
a
red
snayle
in
the
neck
:
he
had
a
fleshly
tayle
like
a
Ratte
,
but
whitish
,
like
vnto
the
skinne
withoute
heares
:
his
head
was
deformed
,
and
his
eyes
stoode
oute
,
of
whome
also
Iob
Fincelius
writeth
in
his
Myracles
after
the
rising
agayne
of
the
Gospell
.
In
Mysnia
a
chyld
was
borne
without

,
hauing
the
forme
of

standing
in

,
of
whom
the

noteth
Fincelius

without

,
in

was
the
liuer
comming

.
This
monster
was
of
both
kinds
,
on

male
,

such
an

but
when
he
had
stayed
al

in

,
in

hauing
digested
his
surfet

he
somewhat
called
to
remembraunce
what
he
had
said

done
the
night
before
,
when
he
founde
no
other
meanes

Go

At

a

And
a

The

aboute

a

standing

a
Tayle
:
the
sexe
of
this
monster
didde
not
appeare
,
for
there
were
founde
no
tokens
of
any

.
The
fourth

December
a
man
childe
was
borne
at
Basill
withoute
anye
eares
,
in
whose
place
he
had
onelye
two

Chylde

many
griefes
.
At

betwéene

,
there
were
found
Hens

Géese

At

about

a

suche
clouen

open
Nostrels
,
that
his

was
very
easily
séene
from

.
And
the
fift
of

abont
9.
of

at
night
in
fayre
weather
,
a
circle
,
which
the
Philosophers
call
Halo
,
appeared
about
the
Moone
,
and
lasted
for
two
houres
.
The
●
of
the
Kalends
of

in
certaine
villages
of

betwéene
the

The
seuenth

,
with
vs

,
a
man
chylde
was
borne
with
a

but
withoute
a

hauing

ran
oute
some

These
are
the
prodigies
and
strange
sightes
(
studious
Reader
)
which
at
this
time
I
thought
good
to
note
in
very
few
wordes
,
in
adding
those
thinges
as
far
forth
as
my
reading
did
aford
,
which
immediately
followed
,
to
the
end
that
thou
mightest
more
plainly
perceiue
,
that
they
were
the
certain
prognostications
of
alterations
,
changes
,
and
calamities
,
and
the
true
tokens
of
Gods
wrath
,
that
euery
man
being
thereby
become
more
wary
and
prudent
through
other
mens
harmes
,
and
perceiuing
that
God
is
angry
with
the
world
,
and
threatning
the
destruction
thereof
,
may
haue
greater
occasion
to
appease
him
with
repentance
&
innocencie
of
life
:
Our
euerlasting
Lorde
Iesus
Christe
,
is
to
be
desired
and
earnestly
to
bée
entreated
of
vs
,
that
through
his
intercession
hée
woulde
mittigate
his
Fathers
wrath
,
renewe
in
vs
a
newe
harte
,
encrease
oure
Fayth
,
and
for
euer
preserue
his
Churche
,
whiche
he
hath
redéemed
with
his
owne
blood
,
from
all
the
craftes
and
subtelties
of
Sathan
and
of
the
corrupte
Worlde

the

The
fiftéenth
of

great
fierie
impressions
appeared

Elemen
as

A

of
Flyes
in
Seuerne
by

,
and
byttels
came
swarming
downe

,
that

the
Mil

stopped
by
the
wonderful

The
xij
.
day
of
Nouember
an
vggly
monster
was
borne
at
Arnheim
a
Town
in
Gelderland
,
whose
father
being
a

blasphemer
of
God
,
and
a
drunkard
,
in
the
time
of
his
wiues
being
with
child
(
who
sought
by
meanes
to
withdrawe
hir
husbande
from
hys
euill
custome
)
did
cursse
and
wishe
that
she
might
beare
the
Diuel
,
the
woman
very
vnaduisedly
said
,
I
woulde
I
might
beare
a
Diuell
,
so
should
I
once
be
rid
of
this
wo
and
misery
,
&c.
not
long
after
she
broughte
forth
,
a
wonderfull
Monster
.
As
soone
as
the
neighbours
and
Midwife
were
come
,
shée
began
for
very
gret
pains
to
cry
out
fearfully
,
&
not
long
after
was
deliuered
,
but
sodainely
the
Monster
ranne
vnder
the
bed
.
The
proportion
of
his
body
and
lims
was
as
followeth
,
being
séene
of
many
both
men
and
women
:
a
roughe
bodie
hairie
and
blacke
,
except
his
belly
which
was
like
a
swan
,
the
two
féete
like
Peacockes
,
clawed
,
his
eyes
shined
like
fire
and
were
very
great
,
he
had
a
mouth
like
to
a
Storke
or
Crane
,
blacke
,
a
tayle
like
an
Oxe
,
two
bending
hornes
on
his
heade
,
in
steade
of
handes
clawes
like
a
Hauke
.
After
this
hideous
Monster
was
thus
séene
,
to
the
greate
feare
of
manye
,
among
them
it
was
smoothered
to
deathe
betwéene
two
beddes
.
In
London
there
was
shewed
a
wonderfull
worke
of
God
,
vppon
a
blasphemous
curssing
woman
in
Woodstreete
,
that
came
to
buy
towe
,
who
did
forsweare
that
she
had
paide
for
it
,
taking
God
to
witnesse
,
&
was
for
such
hir
falshoode
stricken
with
sodaine
pangs
of
deathe
,
that
she
moste
miserably
dyed
.
Vppon

In

Manne
,
and
as
it
séemed
headed
like
a
Boare
,
féete
and
handes
like

.
At
euery

monstrous
shape
stayed
halfe
an
houre
,
the
saide
sighte
was
espyed
by
diuerse
of
the
nobilitie
of
France
.
Among
many
great
voyces
this
was
heard
,
He
that
made
me
shortly
shall
destroy
me
.
Couetousnesse
wil
pluck
me
vp
by

rootes
.
The

in

,
my
ruine
fully

vnuiolably

after

that
these
words
do
signifie
the
wrath
of
God
,
and
that
none
hath
faith
in
him
,
Many
haue
séemed
to
scan
this
matter
,
take
héede
it
be
not
a
déepe
illusion
of
the
Deuill
,
but
yet
bée
warned
.
Of
two
Children
borne
in
Dutchelande
in
the
Citie
of
Lutsolof
,
the
firste
daye
of
Iuly
.
The
one
chyldes
heade
was
copped
like
a
Bishoppes
mytre
,
the
rest
of
the
body
in
good
proportion
,
sauing
where
the
hands
should
be
,
grew
forth
of
the
right
arme
the
shape
of
a
sworde
,
and
forth
of
the
lefte
hande
the
forme
of
a
rodde
,
of
blackishe
colour
,
it
liued
the
space
of
thrée
dayes
,
&
most
wonderfully
spake
as
followeth
:
Be
the
warres
of
men
not
yet
done
?
make
peace
,
make
peace
in
all
countreyes
,
for
the
Lorde
will
come
and
punishe
the
earth
with
sworde
and
rodde
,
as
my
handes
do
represent
.
And
also
the
childe
sayde
:
Amende
you
in
all
countreyes
,
for
there
will
such
a
mortalitie
come
,
yea
such
a
sodayne
death
,
that
one
shal
saye
vnto
an
other
,
oh
brother
where
haue
you
bene
that
you
are
not
yet
dead
?
The
seconde
chylde
had
two
heades
on
one
perfect
body
,
the
one
heade
swarte
coloured
,
the
other
naturall
.
This
other
childe
liued
also
thrée
dayes
,
it
did
continually
crye
:
the
Father
of
these
children
hadde
to
name
Baltus
Maler
,
and
the
mother
Katherine
,
fortye
yeares
of
age
.
A
sodaine
plague
fell
among
the
people
,
whereof
verye
manye

In

the

the
Town
of
Polatzko
was
taken
,
a

in
Mesco
,
by
the
borders
of
Letto
,
by
the
king
of
Polonia
,
who
delt
well
with
the
Captiues
.
At
Gaunt
in
the
lower
Germany
towarde
the
end
of
August
there
was
a
sodayne
tempest
of
lightning
and
thunder
,
in
the
whiche
was
séene
a
horrible
Dragon
flying
with
many
rauens
that
had
long

so
knitte

that
hardelye
it
coulde
be
loosed
agayne
:
and
also
a
Mayde
,
a
Cowe
,
with
tubbes
,
and
such
like
trumperie
was
so
caried
awaye
,
that
they
were
neuer

The

The
fift
of
Ianuarie
in

at
Aberwick
in

was
borne
a
monstrous

hauing
two

The
Fathers

Iohn
Vrine
a
lewde
Minstrell

Idle

,
the
child
was
borne
dead
:
The
euent
,
a
warning
to
a
wicked
Father
of
amendemente
,
of
Subiectes
for
doubling
with
religion
,
of
Officers
for
dissembling
the
lawe

,
to
Princes
,
that
they
beware
while
they
professe
the
Gospell

they
yet
suffer
false

which
causeth
the

the

Thus
taking

the

The

In

At

the

and
manye

,
fell
in

of
Children
,
among
the

there
was
in
the

Citie
,
the
towne
Clarkes
Wyfe
called
Margaret
,
of
the
age
of
fiftie
and
nine
yeares
,
who
for
the
space
of
25
wéekes
for

sought

as
if
they
had

thrée

which
said

liued
but
twentie
and
foure
howers
.
The
6
daye
of
Aprill
,
being
Wednesday
,
about
6
of
the
Clocke
in
the
afternoone
was
felte
a
sodayne
earthquake
,
which
lasted
not
the
full
of
halfe
a
minute
,
for
the
whiche
thanked
be
God
:
through
vehement
shaking
it
might
haue
sunk
,
and
vtterly
perished
the
inhabitantes
as
well
yong
as
olde
:
this
earthquake
shooke
the
most
places
of
Holand
,
Zelande
,
and
Englande
.
The
sixte
day
of
Aprill
about
fiue
of
the
clocke
in
the
afternoone
at
which
time
the
dreadful
earthquake
was
felt
generally
in
Englande
,
in
like
case
it
hapned
ouer
al
Flaunde●s
.
In
the
euening
following
ouer
the
town
of
Antwerpe
&
Gelderland
there
was
séene
in
the
Element
a
feareful
signe
of
a
huge
and
great
armie
well
furnished
,
standing
in
battayle
ray
bent
to
the
onset
,
immediately
after
about
ten
of
the
clock
a
burning
light
appeared
in
the
aire
from
the
north
,
continuing
a
long
season
,
as
if
the
Elemente
shoulde
haue
bene
consumed
,
wherat
the
people
maruellously
amazed
,
submitted
themselues
vnto
God
.
In
Gelderlande
was
séene
in
the
Element
two
men
in
bright
armour
addressed
forwarde
the
one
against
the
other
with
swords
&
targets
,
on
the
one
side
a
great
Eagle
,
and
on
the
other
a
Lyon
mounted
,
on
the
foreféete
a
fierie
gleaming
light
,
either
of
these
séemed
to
set
the
one
against
the
other
.
After
this
there
appeared
a
company
of
armed
men
egerly
assaying
eche
other
,
so
that
it
also
appeared
,
both
armies
vanquished
,
so
that
not
one
escaped
aliue
.
In
Maye
aboute
the
eightéenth
daye
,
was
séene
betwéene
Bodman
and
Foye
in
Cornewale
in
the
ayre
a
foggie
or
thick
mist
out
of
the
which
appeared
a
Castle
with
Flagges
and
Streamers
,
standing
in
the
Sea
:
this
vanished
sodaynelye
awaye
.
Neare
vnto
the
same
place
appeared
an
Argusey
with
her
whole
tackling
,
and
hir
Sayles
full
with
the
wind
,
made
her
way
on
the
southside
of
the
castle
,
trimmed
also
with
pendents
,
banners
and
flagges
.
After
this
an
other
Argusey
and
thrée
or
foure
smaller
Vessels
long
like
Gallies
,
all
in
warlike
sorte
:
then
there
appeared
small
cloudes
to
the
number
of
twelue
,
whiche
were
turned
into
Castels
,
and
so
following
in
a
rowe
vanished
awaye
,
yet
others
appeared
in
their
place
after
an
hower
and
more
.
Among
many
rehearsals
of
Gods
almightie
workinges
for
warning
vs
,
by
the
which
we
are
admonished
to
take
héede
of
vowing
solemnely
to
God
.
Be
it
known
that
nere
the
age
of
one
and
twentie
yeres
,
my self
,
was
miraculouslye
preserued
from
drowning
,
in
the
whiche
extremitie
I
felte
my
conscience
touched
with
my
former
vowe
promised
,
and
seased
not
vntill
I
had
performed
the
same
vnto
God
,
whose
gratious
furtherance
wrought
spéedilye
the
effecte
:
since
which
time
I
calling
vppon
the
Lorde
in
other
troubles
,
I
finde
his
accustomed
hearing
by
my
deliueraunce
.
Not
long
after
at
Leedes
in
Kent
where
I
then
dwelled
,
a
glowing
light
,
like
vnto
a
quicke
cole
appeared
at
my
beddes
féete
,
at
the
sodayn
sight
whereof
I
was
as
well
in
doubt
as
afrayd
,
taking
vew
thereof
twice
or
thrice
,
to
the
ende
I
woulde
not
be
deceiued
of
that
appearance
,
and
desiring
Gods
assistance
from
euils
,
it
vanished
away
.
Shortly
after
I
was
in
present
daunger
to
haue
bene
slayne
in
the
house
of
him
whome
I
tooke
to
be
my
friende
,
laying
to
my
charge
such
matter
as
I
was
innocent
of
,
being
only
his
surmize
,
which
afterwarde
was
confessed
by
himselfe
:
he
then
was
in
wealth
,
but
howe
he
dyed
,
if
his
name
were
knowne
,
it
woulde
be
soone
espied
.
The
Lo
d●
is
on
my
side
,
Psal
118.
I
will
not
feare
what
man
doth
vnto
me
,
the
Lorde
taketh
my
part
with
them
that
helpe
me
,
therefore
shall
I
see
my
desire
vpon
myne
enemies
:
Not
many
yeres
after
it
happened
me
to
fall
into
the
hands
of
inconstant
men
,
whose
double
dealings
I
referred
to
God
:
&
one
of
them
was
stroocken
blind
,
after
much
molesting
me
,
which
when
he
had
disclosed
partlye
his
old
malice
died
,
I
trust
penitent
:
an
other
being
stroocken
in
a
dropsey
confessed
with
teares
his
attempted
wronges
,
and
died
,
I
trust
a
good
Christian
:
the
thirde
desired
forgiuenesse
,
and
sayde
that
he
neuer
had
iust
occasion
agaynst
me
,
but
only
affection
.
(
from
which
God
deliuer
all
Christians
)
There
happened
to
me
in
Kent
also
,
a
sodayn
fire
on
the
house
wherin
I
then
dwelled
,
so
that
the
house
was
consumed
to
the
ground
,
whether
because
before
that
time
I
greatlye
reproued
Witcherye
of
those
that
then
were
suspected
,
or
for
my
secrete
sinnes
agaynste
God
,
from
the
whiche
no
fleshe
is
cleare
,
Psal
.
●●
.
I
appeale
before
the
throne
of
thy
moste
magni●●cent
grace
,
saying
with
the
prophet
Dauid
:
Who
can
tell
howe
ofte
hee
offendeth
:
O
clense
mee
from
my
secreate
faultes
.
Twoo
other
whom
I
name
not
,
for
reprouing
them
of
their
manifest
whoredome
,
it
is
wel
knowen
,
that
if
grace
to
repent
be
as
farre
from
them
,
as
that
wealth
they
once
possessed
,
they
can
not
dye
without
shame
in
the
worlde
,
and
vengeaunce
of
God
.
Also
after
the
howling
of
dogges
,
crowing
of
hennes
,
and
suche
like
trumpery
in
Anno
,
1580.
the
two
and
twentith
day
of
May
,
then
newly
recouered
of
a
continuing
sicknesse
,
the
Lorde
deliuered
me
from
a
fraternall
danger
,
desperately
attempted
,
after
the
which
I
fell
into
a
pining
sicknesse
,
and
hardly
escaped
,
in
the
which
time
of
sicknesse
an
other
secretly
sought
mine
vndoing
,
whose
enterprise
had
the
same
effect
,
that
his
sute
deserued
.
Thus
being
perplexed
on
euerye
side
,
as
a
plague
to
renue
my
sorrowes
,
one
whome
of
charitie
I
entertained
,
robbed
me
of
my
goods
and
fled
,
I
pray
God
he
flye
hereafter
as
fast
from
sinne
.
To
conclude
,
a
shamelesse
Epicure
drowned
in
wilfull
boldenesse
,
hath
done
his
parte
by
shamefull
slaunderous
wordes
,
for
that
I
reproued
him
of
whoredome
,
pretended
fornication
,
suspected
theft
,
approued
lying
,
&
oppression
,
whom
God
clense
from
so
many
Deuils
if
it
be
his
will
,
or
otherwise
,
graunt
me
patience
to
suffer
in
the
truth
:
wherevnto
I
say
,
The
Lord
hath
chastened
and
corrected
me
:
but
hee
hathe
not
giuen
me
ouer
vnto
death
,
for
when
,
and
as
often
as
I
had
occasion
,
in
the
middest
of
my
preaching
to
the
congregation
,
al
the
while
I
was
so
occupied
,
I
neuer
felt
any
sicknesse
,
a
manifest
token
of
Gods
assistance
,
who
aide
me
euer
in
true
obedience
,
and
brotherly
charitie
to
God
,
to
my
Prince
,
and
to
my
Countrey
.
On
Thurseday
in
the
morning
about
sixe
of
the
clocke
the
eighte
and
twentith
of
Iuly
,
a
sodain
tempest
fell
ouer
Kennington
by
Lambeth
.
where
in
a
pasture
grounde
ioyning
on
the
high
way
,
were
stricken
dead
by
the
said
tempest
,
two
geldings
,
their
haire
sindged
or
half
burned
,
their
bodies
swollen
and
stiffe
,
and
foure
Elme
trées
raced
on
the
sides
as
if
the
rinde
of
the
trées
had
béene
torne
with
hookes
:
the
tempest
I
hearde
,
and
the
horses
I
sawe
.
Mackline
in
Flaunders
was
taken
of
the
Protestantes
,
but
couetousnesse
holdeth
nothing
long
.
The
thirtéenth
day
of
Iune
,
about
sixe
of
the
clocke
in
the
morning
at
Shipweth
within
Bother
Barony
in
Northumberlande
,
fell
a
straunge
hayle
,
with
lightning
and
thunder
,
in
likenesse
of
Swordes
,
Crosses
,
Mattocks
,
dead
mens
heads
,
and
Toades
:
althoughe
this
reporte
may
séeme
doubtful
,
as
it
chaunced
without
hurte
,
so
may
all
pretended
euilles
be
preuented
before
harme
.
In
Kent
the
Earthquake
was
felt
twice
.
Vpon
Brodwels
down
in
Somersetshire
were
séene
men
first
in
blacke
,
and
after
in
armor
,
that
after
thrice
appearing
vanished
away
.
Also
chickins
hatched
,
did
presently
crowe
in
Wiltshire
.
And
a
Gosling
with
foure
legges
.
Many
other
things
there
are
spoken
of
which
I
omitte
for
wante
of
sufficient
testimony
.
As
the
blacke
Cocke
that

for

went
to

as

not

wyth

Examples
howe
God
wonderfully
defended
his
children
by
Angels
.
Of
a
Boy
at
Cygnea
a
Citie
in
Germanie
.
MElancthon
reported
that
he
knew
of
a
surety
by
a
substanciall
and
credible
person
,
that
in
a
village
neare
to
the
Citie
of
Cignea
a
certaine
woman
commaunded
hir
sonne
to
fetch
home
the
Cattel
that
were
féeding
by
a
wooddes
side
,
and
when
the
Boy
had
stayed
somewhat
too
long
,
there
fell
a
great
snowe
that
couered
all
the
Hils
thereaboutes
,
night
drewe
on
,
neyther
coulde
the
boy
passe
those
Hils
:
the
day
following
the
parentes
being
no
more
careful
for
their
cattel
,
but
for
the
life
of
theyr
sonne
,
loked
for
his
comming
,
neither
coulde
they
by
reason
of
the
deapth
of
the
snowe
passe
those
Hils
to
séeke
their
sonne
.
The
third
day
they
going
forth
to
séeke
their
boy
,
they
found
him
sitting
in
an
open
place
of
the
wood
,
where
there
was
no
snowe
,
who
smyled
vpon
his
parentes
as
they
came
:
and
the
boy
being
asked
why
he
returned
not
home
,
aunswered
that
he
looked
when
it
should
be
night
,
not
knowing
that
a
day
was
already
past
,
neither
had
he
felt
anye
annoy
or
Tempest
of
the
Snowe
.
And
when
he
was
further
asked
whether
he
had
eaten
anye
thing
?
he
aunswered
,
that
there
came
a
man
vnto
him
who
gaue
him
breade
and
Chéese

So
doubtlesse
this
boy
was
saued
by
Angels
in
the
middle
of
Winter
,
and
without
doubte
that
man
was
an
Angell
that
gaue

spake
many
shameful
thinges
touching
transubstantiation

the
worshipping

bread

Which
when
Grineus
had
heard
,
he
came
to

said
that
for
as
much
as

he
was

matter

by

by
the

they
procéeded

either
bidden

a

The
vnreasonable
f●●te
of
the

with

,
disliked
the
good
man
,
who
denied
him
his
daughter
,
which
was
no
gentle
woman
,
and
willed
him
to
depart
:
but
the
guest
wyth
his
two

was
so
troublesome
to
the

that
diuerse

he
returned
to

the

with

in

the

his

taking

sayde

that
there
were
manye
other

iestes
,
with
the
which
feasters
might
be
made
merry
,
rather
than
with
the
exposition
of

desired
them
to
trouble
them
no
further
with

Scripture

oh

but
those
which
(

had
canonized

solemnely
saincted
,
by

of

for

were

,
they
forgate
the

running
from

error
into

mischiefes
,
they
became
not
onely
despisers
of

most
holy
lawe

also
had
delight
in

,
whose

it

Then
came
the
holy
Pope
Vrban
the
sixth
,
after
the
dissention
wyth
Clement
the

,
and
applyed
to
haue
the
Cleargie

vnder
full
obedience
,
whose
request
was
denyed
of
the
Englishmen
by
Parliament
,
and
there
agréed
vppon
,
that
the
Pope
shoulde
haue
no
iurisdiction

Notwithstanding
the
Bishops
at

played

Thus
the

Thus
their

they
