Atchievments of one eminently excellent Person whom God hath ordained for that purpose to do wonders wheresoever he shall come both in Church and State We may observe that as the first Empire of the world was of the Assyrians and began or was feated in the East that of the Persians and Grecians in the South and that of the Romanes in the West so t is most probable God hath determined to raise up a Prince to an Empire Dominion or Principality of as great Splender Majesty and largenesse in the Northern parts if not exceeding any of the former and to make him the most potent Prince in the terrestrial Universe of whose surpassing might and extensive greatnesse that new Star in Cassiopeia so called 1572. was doubtlesse the prodromus or forerunner And this coelestial signe of the Pleiades May 29.1630 sheweth his birth and presageth his promising growth unto future greatness For Confirmation of the credit hereof that a mighty Monarch shall arise out of the North parts of Europe let us consider the Prophesie of Sybilla Titurtina wherein she speakes plainly to this purpose A Star shall arise in Europe towards the great House of the North whose beams shall unexpectedly enlighten the whole world c. This Siblla prophesied of Christ in these words Nascetur Christus in Bethlem Christ shall be born in Bethlem Annunciabitur in Nazareth he shall be manifested in Nazareth Regnante Tauro pacifico fundatore quietis A pacifical Bull then raigning being founder of peace meant of Augustus Caesar in whose raign Christ Jesus was born If we shall diligently observe the predictive judgment of some learned men supposed to be induced with prophetique Spirits who have long since and of latter times delivered their opinions touching this subject we shall finde the result thereof hath been to this purpose viz. That the latter dayes or times might assuredly expect from the North some glorious Star or Prince who from those parts of Furope should suddenly burst out like a violent torrent or suddain unexpected prodigious Meteor break his passage into the Southern Western and other parts of the World with as much successe and celerity in his undertakings as attended that warlike Gracian Prince Alexander the great at what time he not onely invaded but also trampled down even to confusion the Persian Monarchy or Dominion which had stood firm as Chronologers deliver 202. years before The Person they commonly stiled the Eagle of the North the new Star of the North or the Lyon of the North. This is neither Novall nor incredible or improbable For many learned of the Germaine and other Nations for these last three Centuries of years have been very diligent in the iniquisition hereof but more especially from the year 1520. the point hath been controverted and mens Expectations more impregnated by reason of the prophecy of Sybilla Tiburtina then discovered engraven in anci●ient Latine Characters upon a Marble stone answering the Ro●ane language 300. years before Christ found in the bowels of mount Taurus upon a Deluge of Water which hapened in the Countrey of the Helvetians The Prophesie is thus Englished There shall arise a Star in Europe over the Iberi or Iberians over or towards the great house of the North whose beams shall unexpectedly enlighten the whole world This shall be in a most acceptable time when as mortall men being wearied with War and Arms shall unanimously be desirous to embrace peace But at last the Of-spring of the most antient or one of the antient progeny overcomes and will proceed on in a course of war c. But France must first be overcome or subject her self to this Star And Brittany in ships shall humbly cast her self at his knees or mercy imploring assistance from him There are also in this Sybilla's Prophecy very many other materiall predictions touching Italy and other parts matters also of most remarkable moment the mentioning whereof at present I omit and leave to some future opportunity which doubtless in their appointed time will be verified such as are incredulous touching the truth of this Prophecy if they be not resolvedly refractory cannot but be convinced by experimental effects of such parts thereof as are already unquestionably fulfilled This prophecy which lay so long obscured was no sooner discover'd but it was presently transmitted by the Bishop of Sedam unto Charls King of Spain elected-Emperour he sends it to the Pope who immediately conveens together the most able Philosophers and Astrologians in Italy to give the interpretations thereof these men to please the Pope and Emperour adjudged the Emperour Charls to be intended by the prophecy but others more judiciously declared the Irish nation and chief Ruler thereof to be intended thereby as most probable in respect of the proximity of the word Iberi to Hiberni which doubtlesse was the true interpretation as by the ensuing reasons shall be more clearly manifested Full fifty years after discovery thereof there appeared in Europe that miraculous new Star before mentioned in the year 1572. in the Asterism or Constellation of Cassiopeia at which time a Nobleman of Denmark called Tycho Brahe who being a very learned Astrologer seeing and observing this new Star its first appearance untill it ended It being as was prophecied the admiration of the whole world because it was fixed immoveable almost sixteen moneth with rare large and exact Mathematicall Instruments after perusall of 30. several Authors and Books written by men of severalnations of the effects and quality of that new star himself wrote a large Treatise thereof and of his own accurate Observations and Astrological predictions thereof wherein with much honour he mentions that prophecy of Sybilla Tiburtina terming it Vaticinium hoc per se est admodum memorabile diligenti animadversione dignum By the judgement of this Tych● Brahe and many other of the most exquisite Astronomers This new star seems by Divine Power to be created as the fore-running hand maid or harbinger to give the first manifestation or interpretation of his Sybill's Prophecy both whose unanimous concurrence made it evident that the beginning of the most turbulent Changes in Europe should be occasioned from the North which parts t is agreed by most are intended not onely in the said Prophecy but also by that glorious new Star and all other the Stars and Comets since appearing This was such a star as no History relates the like Hyperchus mentioneth one two generations before Christ which was not vertical to the Northern People but this was verticall and appeared over their heads Of this same opinion was Cornelius Gemma in his Astrological judgements given upon this new Star in his fecond book of Cosmocrit printed 1575. p. 118. where he assignes these Countries to receive the influence of that Coelestial Star viz. England Scotland and Ireland c. Grebnerus hath somewhat conducing to our purpose which shall hereafter be mentioned Concerning Wars troubles and Changes in these Countries what hath come
