From the Lady Eleanor, her blessing, to her beloved davghter the Right Honorable Lvcy, Covntesse of Huntingdon.

FROM THE LADY ELEANOR , HER BLESSJNG to Her beloved Daughter , &c.

WHose new Interpretation , not with Froath filled up , or Interlarded with differing Opinions of others , such old peices having No affinity and agreement with this BRITISH garments or displayed COATE by blessed Prophets pend : So what the Veritie of those fouer great Beasts , divers one from another , which should arise &c. Whoso would understand & know their mistery for this very time reserved , hitherto with the Kingdome of Heavens great seale shut up .

Distinguishing not only Nations but Times : The very truth of it : N' other then the severall Coate , Armes , given or borne by him , the first of great Brittains Kingdoms or Monarchie .

Not unlike Jacobs united Familie his Wives ▪ Children , and Children of the Hand-maids . The aforesaid Crowns foure , concerning whose peice of super-artificiall Heraldry unknown to those Heralds of the King of great Babylon ( Dan. 3. ) even at hand proclame the ancient of dayes , the aproach of that great day of his . So goe thy way Daniel , for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end , which : Not only the Time , but unfolds unto what Nation or Language , revealed those glad Tydings , as by the Word ( Sealed ) given to understand thereby . Even where the great Seale the Jmpression thereof , those fouer Coates or Beasts , styled Kings which shall arise , &c. And the Coine stampt therwith and the like , &c.

And so the first in the likenesse of a Lyon with Eagels wings , &c. first displays the armes of England and France , and then standing upon the feet like a man , a Lyon rampant ( to wit ) Scotlands coate , where the other the Jrish Instrument , or Harpe evident also out of Tune , &c. That no need to say , J am Joseph , or over-verball to be in this case .

No more requisit then their asking either whether or no thy sonns coate this of so many colours or peices , as in the field , now those inumerable colours , &c. That were HE living , our Father JACOB would say , some evill beast had devoured us , to behold such blood shed amongst brethren and cruelty , as Since the Creation such a flood , the old Serpent never casting out of his mouth , and so like Joseph sold to the Midianits , our wofull estate , sale and rapine made , by Malignant brethren &c. But such miserable Shipwracke with us being no news , shall returne to those misteries of Heraldry .

The frequent Oraments of your House wherefore to explain them farther , but needlesse ; nor endlesse Figures here borrowed out of old Orators Bookes , suffices for figurative Demonstrations such , to render their meaning truly , running the way of the plaine rather for the ancient of dayes his comming to prepare the way . So for my Commission thus .

And farther as to you not unknown especially at what time your Mother became a Writer or Secretary , concerning the unsealing or interpreting this obscure peice to open the Vission of Daniel , though no obscure persons of the seed of the KINGS and of PRINCES . Even in the yeere 1625. undertaken this burthen , following his steps , who declares when HE wrote first in BELCHAZARS first yeere , the last of those Caldeans of great Babylon .

Also shewed in that great plague yeere , when the City shut up : This Vission then opened , whereof even Then a Signe ro Token , not without a touch given in those words . But thou O Daniel shut up , &c. ( Dan. 12. ) And thus where every word a mistery , cannot passe over them , as none of the least His being so often saluted or stiled so highly of the Angel : O Daniel greatly beloved man , as much to say too , O KJNG of great Britaine ! as Kings and Prophets ; Brethren , Let him that reads Daniel understand .

And as it extends to this time also , beares Date forty foure ; directly the present Yeare as these beareing Record of time and place , &c. of whose storming daies thus . And Daniel spake and said , J saw and behold upon the great Sea , the foure Winds strove , and foure great Beasts came up . divers one from another ( to say ) from beyond sea , the occasion of such divission , ready to be swallow'd up in these swelling Seas .

The first like a LYON , and Eagels wings , ( Daniel 7. ) J beheld till the Wings were pluckt thereof : And lifted up from the Earth , and made stand upon the Feete like a MAN : And a MANS HEART was given unto it , viz. The LYONS Passant ( regardant ) turn'd into the Rampant , &c. After her decease , a Virgin Princesse of renown'd MEMORY , ENGLAND stil'd great Britaine , and then these foure severall Coates given , &c.

( And this Sayling on ; or pursuing the Subject : ) And behold another Beast , a second like to a BEARE , and it raised it selfe upon one side : And had three Ribbs in the mouth of it , between the teeth of it . N' other then as it were displayed The three LYLLIES : The Armes of FRANCE , to the full given by this KINGDOME , where Nothing but a meere Shadow , or the bare Coate of it Left , Leaves in stead of Fruite : Besides , how by a She-Beare , as this N' other : Three devided KINGDOMS rent in peices . The Ribbe or Side , beares Witnesse thereof , The second SEXE its Character .

And so farther from This saying , too well prooved ; ( Arise and devoure much FLESH : ) even what Date it bears needlesse to say : Her MOTTO the Mother not of the Living Child , but of Divissions and Massacres , where inclusive the ador'd Sacrament called the MASSE : Thus uttered Her Voice , Let it bee neither Thine , nor Mine , but devide it : destroy it utterly , &c. No such Coate then , like to have any Affinitie with Solomons Ivory Rament or Robe : as the Ensigne of Peace , the LILLY of the field , but rather a Slippe come out of the Bear-garden , unworthy to behold the Sunne : became degenerate and so wild : Sometime to none of the Flowers of Parradise inferiour .

And another like LEOPARD , Lyon-like SCOTLANDS Coate the truth of it displaied Thus : Which had foure Heads , and foure Wings on the backe of it , as it were a Heralds Coate , or KING AT ARMS , &c. So great BRITAJNS foure KINGDOMS or Crownes proclaimes by them : And this the Summe of it ; shewing Then revealed the time of END , when united These foure aforesaid , &c. As hereby farther appeares . ( And Dominion was given unto it : ) No small addition , after Her dayes raigning forty foure Yeares , for Scotland to give such a Large Coate by a Prince as unfortunate in His Progenie and Successor ; As in his Predisessors or Parents : Wherefore liken'd to the LEOPARDS Spoted skinn those sable spots or drops .

And behold a fourth BEAST like a HARPYE , or some such Monster , having great Jron Teeth , and Nayls of brasse , to be short , the Jrish Harpe demonstrated , likewise the very wrest as it were a little Horne , of which Jnstrument not a little out of tune , as insues , stamping all underfoote Gods Law , Humaine Law .

And so farre for the Harpe , Like the very forequarter or ribbs informe or likenesse , as strung in that manner ribbwayes , whose short Horne the expresse Character of tirrants of no long continuance , raising up and setting lower , like the wrest according to their will made a law , changing and altering when they please .

Informing moreover concerning the blaspheming blasts of the little Horne , that had eies like a man , and such a mouth , as much to say , that mouth speaking such great things , a Womans and no Mans.

Her Proclamations at her command , the great Seale , the Elders and the Nobles , so with the Story goeing on of that Idolatrious time , Come see now that cursed Womans spirit , she cast downe , &c. cunjured up , as it were , walks up and down , that like her selfe of her unnaturall Dogs , Acteon like eaten ( of her none left to bury ) Jezebel by name , Woe to the House , whose signification , so no other then a stolne peice by the Poet , very like to be , as that for another : Borrowed from Elias , Elevation , also the fable of Phateon , That Prophets being sought for as though some where had falne or miscarried .

Whose misteries or morralls in so high esteeme among the Heathen against many may rise in Judgement , of whom reverenced no more Divine Oracles further more , to weigh or unite those times , with our heavie dayes , Likewise Peace , though voiced , Jacobs voice like and the hands of Esau , yet such divisions and slaying of all hands , nothing but peace , put the question as though he sought nothing else , is it peace , and thus saith the King , is it peace .

And ever and againe , Thus saith the KING , &c. Js it peace , JEHV . New Propositions as it were . And Sir as long as her Sorcerors inforce doeing what she pleaseth , what hast thou to doe with peace , also at her last cast ( when this Motto , who is on my side who ) who troode HER underfoote , her inchanting voice , Had he Peace that slew his Master ? ( As it were to looke to his Head ) This blood-thirsty Mistres of Charmes and Spells like Satans falling those aspiring Spirits .

So alike the time possest , now see what a double portion powr'd out of the curse what one leavs , another taks , He that escapes the Sworde of Hazael Jehu slayes , and hee escaping Jehus Sword Elisha slayes , because the Land devided as those waters by him parted with the mantell of Elias , wherewith Sayled over Jordan River , and such virtue in it , bein worne out by them , much more vigere then and Spirit in their Books being perused and studyed upon .

And Mother and Daughter alike too . Now she cast into a languishing bed , consumed to nothing an Anatomy , &c. scarce any thing to bury .

The occasion of this LANDS deep CONSVMPTION SHE , And wast made thereof : Woe to the House of God , and the House of PARLIAMENT both , the nursing mother of DRAGONS , those Sonns of BELJALL in armes , foras her name is , so is she MARRAH : The GALL of bitternesse .

But because the Daughter of a King as JEHV speake , Here forborne the Remainder , buryed in silence , for so births PREROGATIVE surmounts or goes before that gain'd by Marrage as desent and blood , a Character not to be blotted out , where with follows the state of VIRGINITY , the presidence theirs , Not in subjection as others .

And for ELJAS progresse in the SPIRIT : The returne of those long expected dayes , Let the READER be pleased for his satisfaction to turne but ( to the Apocalyps the 11 ) And see in his COMMISSION to the Gentills . What date it beares there , concerning the revealed time of the Resurrection , &c. even behold the Sevententh Centurye it measured out by moneths and dayes , amounting unto three years and halfe , the halfe of seaven like the time nothing , but divission , including the great misticall weeke , exprest severall & divers wayes . A touch of which time folded up with that sevenfold marriage , put the question in the resurection whose wife , &c.

Wherefore of the last ( turned ) Houre-Glasse of time , Thus ( Revel. &c. ) And in the same Houre a great Earth Quake and the tenth part of the CITY fell , and slaine Seven Thousand , Decima Pars , &c. and thus pend with the Character of the present when Elias his dayes shall appeare againe , their Resurrection or Revolution , as it were by a beseiged City its modell , and yeelded or rendered up by the affrighted remnant , when such publike Thanksgiving , saying , Wee give thee thanks O LORD GOD Almighty , which art and wast , and art to come . Vtter'd ( times ) treble voices , to weigh the time , &c.

And as a Reformation time , to the greatest part hatefull & unsufferable : so the day of Judgements tydings as wellcome , like the writs of Parliament that news to many also dreadfull , and detestable to the world , these makes it sufficiently plaine , and the Nations were angry the time of the dead was come that they should be judged , &c. ( ergo or viz. ) to be manifested to the Gentills , and so like the last Supper aforehand , shewing his death , likewise commands the little booke open'd to be received and eaten , as much to say , The last day revealed to be or afore shewed the Lords second comming , &c. Also by two witnesses , to witt , the Bookes of Daniel and St. John , although reproved for his firy Spirit : That he was forward and sudden in calling for the day of Judgment as it were : Then who knew not of what Spirit he was .

And here like Elias and Elijah not to be parted ( those twain goeing along further with the last time , those aforesaid mourning moneths 4.2 . And a Thousand two Hundred and Sixty dayes , and three dayes and a halfe , &c. ( Revela . 11. ) all but sounding the great dayes Alarme in the seventeenth Century : Then to watch as the time for the Elects cause promised to be cut off and shortned , to witt its comming short of 2000. yeares , and so much for times sentence , to be no longer ( Revela . 10. ) And the Sacramentall tree of life , or Bookes of the old and new Testament , afore mentioned , And he therefore that shall add or deminish from the set time written by those witnesses let Him expect the plagues also proceeding out of their mouths , Pestilence and Warre , &c. otherwise that might have escaped death no few with Elias have been taken alive up , debarred from entering the rest , &c. as that figure of the Refurrection , double witnessed by Elijah a touch of whose Corps therby one raised up againe , but let downe into this Sepulchare .

So againe looking backe to Daniel touching the little Horne declaring or sounding the brevitye of great Brittaines Monarchie , ( Whose looke more stoute then his fellows ) more over thus I considered the Hornes , And there came up another little Horne , before whom three of the first Hornes were pluckt up by the roots , the truth of it as much as to say , That he the first Heire of the red rose and the white . Whose ISVE three of them Crown'd Princes childlesse , deceasing without Heires of their body , the Crown of England fell to Scotland , and great Brittaine so stiled , then wherefore blazoned by those great Beasts foure being from name of Bruite derived , whose Vnicorns Horne become as short as his fellowes . Lookeing of late as though al by conquest had been his , so according to his will wresting and altering whatsoever , and possest with no little willfullnesse as well as pride , proceeding from Ephnesse and Shallownesse .

And so from HENRY the fourths taking possession of the Kingdome , regained by EDWARD the fourth of those royall Rose ten in number ( giving the dunn Cow ) so many even from the House , of Lancasters usurpation untill the diadem fell to be Scotlands lott , all which displayed by those Horns ten and another little Horne , &c. as Corone being derived from Cornua , and Caroles a Diminative , &c.

For saylingon , the Wind serving faire still , or for proceeding with the Map of great Brittains last Parliament , so manifest , that whose Image this , who needs to doubt , as a little farther , I shall hold on , &c. ( J beheld , then because of the great voice of the word which the Horne spake , J behold even till the Beast was slaine and his body given to the burning flame : ) Some may say hath God care of Oxen ? Yes doubtlesse beholds even such a Den or Draught of restlesse beastlinesse day and night , St. James-Fayre so called , not without Cause their Priviledge of late abolished : As hereby appeares the Modell every of those Courts put downe : Where so long such Lawlesse doings there , &c.

( As for the rest of the Beasts , They had their Dominion taken away : BVT their Liver were prolonged ) as Hee no little or inferiour Beast for one , whose voice set a Note lower , brought to the barre , though so long deferred , yet whose Judgement sleeps Not.

And then the Ancient of dayes , fitting in his Iudges Robe , and Locks like Snow , Even the day of Judgement clothed in the Parliaments likenesse : And the Parliament clouded under , or shadow'd out by the day of Iudgement . His comming in the Clouds , so all in their pure wooll , set forth & wooll Seats , and thus much for that : The judgement shall fit , and the Bookes were opened , the Bookes of the Old and New Testament also : Nothing covered that shall not be disclosed too and proclaimed .

Likewise by those Legions of Angells , beside the Parliaments everlasting sitting , the warre raised , by them fet forth , like Dooms day as it were , when the Elements melting and the Heavens shaking , & Stars falling , like those Valies of Thunder-Bolts with lightnings , such a firy Streame now making way : the generall dayes Epitome & the conclusion of all these , Dan. 7.

( And the Kingdome and Dominion , and the greatnesse of the Kingdome under the whole Heaven , Shall be given to the Saints of the mosthigh ( OR RVLERS ) whose Kingdome is an everlasting Kingdome . )

As to no other given such a high stile , except unto this Kingdome , &c. Hitherto is the end of the matter concerning the end , and as for Daniel his countenance changed , and his cogitations troubled . The troublesometime before the change , fore saw even our evill times , His heart bleeding too , &c. And as Daniel signifying the judgement of God , so that Monsterous fourth Beast , as much to say ; a Viperous generation :

Herewith is signyfied like Josephs & Pharoahs dreams doubled , even the seventeenth hundred yeare : By this very measure doubled to bee likewise : a Time and times , & the deviding of time , or three and a halfe , ( viz. 7. ) Surge & metire templum , ( Revel. 11. ) followes tempus & tempora , & dimidium temporis . The Resurrections time hereby measured even in the present Century cut in the midst too ( as it were ) Paradventure fifty there , &c. And paradventure there shall lacke five of fifty , exprest in the day of judgements very language , as shall not the Judge of all the earth doe right , and Abram he but Dust and Ashes then .

With whom saying , Now J have taken upon me to speake , cannot here rest shewing farther , as Noah outlived the Flood , three hundred years and dyed , two thousand years after the Creation , likewise now the time abated or comes short 300. years , wherefore the disolution in the seventeenth hundred yeare , and thus cut off so many yeares , like the shortned dayes of Enoch whom God tooke , who lived three hundred yeares and Eternitys forerunner begat Metheuseliah , thus five hundred years amounts to a PERIOD , as deeply sworne the Time should be longer , ( Revela . 10. ) measured by the CREATORS his right hand lifted up , Tempus non erit amplius , sed in diebus vocis septimi Angeli : Times mistery revealed , &c. as promised to be witnessed by the Prophets , his servants concerning times TRVMPET then put to silence time no more , &c.

And lastly for MICHAELMVS ( 1644 ) That happie halfe yeare herein included , a time and times and halfe also , to disperse the Forces , &c. Revela . the 12. and Dan. the 12. concerning Michaels alarme , there signified and so like a Thiefe in the night as this fearful night vission , appeares even the end stolne upon the whole world , or comming as the travel of a Woman misreckoning sometimes taken before SHE looks .

Also farther for this last of Parliaments , & whereas Gods word able to speake for it selfe of full age , other argument whatsoever , needlesse , it being of a quicker returne , shall presse another place of Scripture , as briefly explaind as others afore , Reve. 10.9 . Concerning that Albion Army , and Aleluja voices where even the revealed time of the Lords comming . And the writs of this happie Parliament sealed up in one : Scribe Beata , &c. They that are called to this meeting , &c. All sealed with the Vnicorne in pure Paper , as it were mounted on white Horses , or like the great shew . both going together : as noted &c.

Nomen scriptum quod nemo novit , the Parliaments name in another language , viz. et vocabant nomen ejus verbum dei . The Word , &c. et cum Justitia judicat , et pugnat . And upon his head many Crowns with a garment dipt in blood , deep Scarlet clothed , and on his vesture , and upon his legg written , &c.

Namely the Colour and Garter of the order the Knights of St. Gorge ( Ecce equus Albus ) likewise from Chival and Equus . And thus the Knights and Esquires of both Houses displayed , of what house , and so from the name of Oxford , thus , et vidi Beastiam et Regis terrae et exercitus , &c. Revela . 10.9 .

And for the aforesaid warre so farr , as for the motive , Meritrice magna qui corrupit terram in prostitutione sua , &c. Hath bin shew'd afore where she painted like her Images that downfall of Hers before theirs .

Also added these to the premises because injoyned not to part , or put asunder what is joyn'd , shewed Farthermore , The great Jmage , ( Dan. 2. ) even armed at all points , the verity of those foure Metals , ore Argent , &c. the very same likewise divers one from another . Apertains to the foure great Beasts the one rising out of the Earth , the other out of the Sea .

So contains Caesars Superscription even the Roman Empires age , written in in those Characters of the 3. Ribs , 4. Wings and the 10. Horns and then those Eagles wings so lifted up pluckt too , notwithstanding Germanies manly looks , that Saxon state : like this great Statue unable longer to stand upon its feet , not unlike Irelands estate , the modell of that Empire in such a flourishing condition , and as the blow then in the 17. yeare of the present reigne , so the other in the 1700. &c. broken so soon in peices : Wherefore the world but like a Dreame vanished : Like his suddain awaking in a moment forgotten all , &c.

But now returning to great Brittains brittle condition againe : That union dissolved and broken in peices since his dayes : He the head of GOLD , as by those peices called JACOBVS , after his name , &c. And he the ROMAN SPANISH Emperour by his tribute of late , since the Judies discovery , who makes up the head of Gold too : And all this but to manifest and shew . That God is a Revealer of Secrets in these dayes also : Reveales the deep and secret things , And maketh known what shall be in the Latter dayes , by divers & severall demonstrations , as this for another : Of the Axe laid to the roote : That tree or pedigree whose fruit much of such a hight , reached up to Heaven , this Jacobs Ladder , &c. And now but the Stump end remains as yee see .

The very Woods every where proclaims it , where the Axe never put so to the Root , such felling , &c. And so the Axe that fell into the water , by a sticke cast into it , caused to swime : The Morrall thereof no other then the Resurrection time revealed to be by the Spirit of prophesie . As much to say , As the late hand writing for a seale or signe of it , a sufficient propheticall proclamation though not on the Walls , &c. in the Banquetting-House , yet not unknown to Lord ●o few how these applied . Thy Kingdome numbred , and thou found wanting , &c. and come to passe too , as published and printed , 1633. sufficiently known , in meeter to his Majestie from great Babylon transferred to great Brittain .

And so this but the truth of it ( shewed in the 12. of the Revelation ) How Satan because he knows his reigne or time to be short : is ready to devoure the Woman even for the truth of the Resurrection time revealed , as most proper to be performed by that sex , a Woman by whom death came to be the Messenger of Life . And so , WOE TO THE INHABJTERS of the EARTH , and of the SEA , &c.

And since a pleasing Theame ( as t is said ) makes a good Orator , and sure I am a worse time then this never known or ever heard of , so then the time the end discovered , although pend somewhat hastily or unperfectly , &c. being like the hony : and like the hony gathered out of so many parts , I shall the lesse need to excuse it unto such as have a ful knowledge of the Scriptures , That should it be written at large a Chronicle or a booke as ample as those tables , of the Mapps of the World could I suppose not contain it .

Not sutable to the little book , being but an Epittomie as it were , and so much for being not voluminous , especially when the time ●o short too : as by Tyrant time his reigne expired , shew'd to be and these the apointed Scutchins for his Hersse apeared , those winged Beasts devouring times likenesse , &c.

As by this one wittnesse more produced or set forth : asigned to the present , even in the dayes of these Kings , or united Kingdoms : Shall the God of Heaven set up a Kingdome which never be distroyed . And the Kingdome shal not be left to other , &c. And shall breake in peices , even to the same effect , with that ( Dan. the 7. ) The greatnesse of the Kingdome under the whole Heaven , for ever given to the Saints ( or Rulers , &c. ) which shall breake in peices , &c. viz. By those ordinance or orders of Parliaments , and feild peices , &c.

And yet not so strange as true ; notwithstanding such a troublesome time O let Jsmale live as it were , prefer'd before Jsaac to be his Heire , And Absolons life before Solomon the wise ( O Absolon my sonne Absolon ) Like Egypts Leekes & Garlike before Canaans Grapes , &c. And so preferred this worlds vanity & folly before everlasting Righteousnesse , endlesse Joy , life eternall , and now ended thus this point of Honour , displaying the Ancient of dayes his Kingdome your portion to you dedicated : that so punctually have discharged that duty of the first commandement with promise , in so much and such dishonour endured , have bene your mothers Copartner , even You , her alone and sole support under the Almighty . So Veni Domine Jesu , gracia Domine , &c.
