shoulde be seene our Lord Christ hath warned vs afore hande longe a goe But in no age at anye time hath ther be sene so many and so great and straunge wonderous sygnes euerye wher abroad as within these few yeres that we oght altogether already to consider that it is by tokens signified vnto vs that the latter day is not farre of and both by other wonders chiefly by this which is not perticuler nor terrestriall but almost vniuersall and celistiall excepte we vtterly slepe with ouermuch carelesnes and securitie But first must that Babilonicall beast beyng stuffed with the bloode of sainctes and yet not filled nor satisfied be cast downe and the sincere gospell preached agayne through the whole worlde The which that it maye very shortly come to passe we shal pray vnto the almightye gracious and great God by our lorde Iesus Christe in the holy Gost And yet therfore we oght not to promise a carelesse securitie to our selues that the kingdoÌ„ of the prince of Christes enemies shall decaye and fal but except we doe throughly take hede to oure selues by and by wyth amendement of lyfe and ceasse to bragge of a vaine faith beyng our selues instruted and furnished with no good workes we shall firste be punished by the same For seynge oure lyfe of all in maner for the moste parte answereth not to oure profession we haue manye wayes deserued moste greuous punishmentes and more truly then our aduersaries for this cause that in so great lyghte of the knowen truth we be kyndled or moued wyth no feruencye of syncere religion but wallowe and are wrapped in all kind of vices and wyll almoste suffer no disciplyne eyther priuate or publyke And for the moste parte all Magistrates wyll not onelye haue Dominion in the commune wealthe and in Cityes but they also wyll haue rule in the church but they will not commyt them selues to the common discipline of the same Finally the pastors and ministers of the churches for the most parte be full of ambition conetonsnes wantonnes and other vices be no better than those whome they ought to teache and feede wyth the worde of GOD but rather much worse Wherfore it is greatly to be feared y t nere the day of the lord draweth vpon vs and that to vs that waxe so colde shalbe moued and not to a fewe of vs and priuatly as hath bene hertofore but a common publike and vniuersal sore of persecution wherwith we shal be warned more then inough for froÌ„ the aduersaries of Christs church and his membres except God tourne it away shal go out the fyre which hath bene of longe time prepared for vs from Italie vnto vs and towarde the North y e which way y e wonder prodegious for warning did incline shall it come furiously vpon the christians Not withstanding we hope and humbly praye vnto the most gracious and mighty god the father of our lord Iesus Christ with lowly and deuot hartes that this euell may sone after be turned from vs not for vs but for his name sake and the holy worshippers of his annoynted For the bloode of those which longe ago alreadye hathe bene moste abundantly spylled shed or consumed with fyre throughout al Germany Fraunce Italy Spaine and other regions by that seuen headed and horned and bloudy Babilonical beast with whome the kinges and princes of the earth haue committed and do commit fornication may now seme altogether to haue burste out of the bowels of the earth wyth a flamynge brightnes and that the same burnyng in the ayre betokening a reuenging from the Lord which is the defender and reuenger of hys hathe mingled together That al men may see and vnderstande the euident cause of this wonderful for warning Therfore god wil punish together his whoÌ„ he loueth that they may be amended and wyth them or at the least by and by after the enemies of his name which go forward obstinatly in their malice and in the persecution of the sainctes It becometh vs to acknowledge our fauts and to aske forgiuenes and not to despaire by and by at the firste cruell assaute of Antichrist whatsoeuer they be For he sayth that he is in danger and assauted himself and that on euery side is great fallyng aways froÌ„ him lest he shulde vtterly be forsaken he proueth al thinges to the extremitie We yf we wyll continue in the sincere calling vpon the Lord and remeÌ„bre to kepe our selfes in prosperitie so many as god wil haue kept safe from these calamities shall proue and see a happy successe and spreadyng abrode of the gospell through out the whole worlde and the ruine and decaye of that prince or ruler which vnder the tytle of the name of Christe is against him being now of late begon wholy to be performed For this enterprise of his as it is to be thought to be the greatest so is it to be supposed that it shalbe the laste and as he did seuer this wonder from the daye that was commyng euen so it is to be hoped that at the cleare preaching of the Gospel and the last iudgement shortly comming vpon it al euil shal haue an ende So we for our selues oght for to gesse well with good and valiant mindes For the almyghtye can if he wil deliuer vs from all calamities at the least if he do not those are happy ones which die strongly in the confession of his name for Christ and the truth But vnhappy are they whosoeuer thynke them selues conquerours agaynst Christ That prodigies or wonders be done or styrred vp by god â–ª contrary to the sayings of the Epicures ARistotle in his fyrst boke of celestiall speculation and. v. chapter in mencionyng of other thynges which he calleth fyrye speculations writeth thus There be sene sometimes in the night the aire being clear many appearinges he calleth them horrible sightes to mete in the ayre As be gapyngs pittes bloody colours the cause whereof is euen the same which is of the other aforesaide But next before he had sayd that of a certaine vapour or exaltation that is whot drie kindled in the hygh aire be made both certaine other speculations as beames Goates blasyng starres and also that which is called Thlora that is a flame or burning and he sayeth yf that vapour be kindled shut forth it self wide and brode it semeth ofteÌ„times to burne like a flame as strawe when it is kyndled in the felde c. Of vapours truly by the opinion of the sayde Philopher which be sene in y e high aire in the cleare nightes some in dede burne and that longe time as blasyng starres some a short time as flames torches goates shutyng starres Some other appeare to be somwhat that thei be not and they may properly be called horrible syghtes as cloudes somewhâ—â— cleare of colour but chiefelye red of colour and purple or bloudy for other colours can scantly appeare namely such as arise by y e reflection of beames or such as

that in the fielde of Berne was sene another wonder of an hoste of men fyghtyng together but the authour I know not Also after thys foresayde wonder of fyre that was sene in the aire that is the thyrty day of December which was the last yere M. D. LX. at eyght a clocke before none there was sene a fyre to aryse about Bade of Heluetia with a great thicke cloude And when the husbande men of Regenspurge which â–ª towne is in y e field of Surick saw it thei ran together being ready to quench it by and by it vanished away so that it was not perceyued whether any fyre had ben in that place or no. Not withstandyng this also may be thought to be a certaine wonder â§ The interpretation of the strang wonder set furth by the authour written vn to a frende of his dvvellvng in Vindelick a countrey of Germany I Geue you moste hearty thankes that you do part amongest vs your interpretation vpon that fearefull and monsterous syghte whyche you did not onely se in the aire at Heluetia and Ranie but at Algea and thorough out all Sueuia excepte at Auspurge in which no man no not the watche men did see any thing that daye when not withstandyng it was sene two or thre mile of and the good neyghbours there thought Auspurge dyd burne and they did lamentablye beholde the dukedom of Wirtenberg Franconia Thuringa at the same houre and moment when ye did se it I haue no naturall philosphie that thereby I might coniecture it to com for in such a dead and cold tyme there coulde not happen such vapours nor such exhalations that mighte cause such fyre to appear euery where nor yet was the cause of the earthquake knowen amonge you seing it was heard to be no where els Therefore I come to your interpretacion and I hope that Christ wyll come shortly reuenge his worde â–ª iudge the world by fyre wythout you had rather thus to expounde it that in all places wher this fyre was sene the fire of y e gospel shal so purely cleanse the people that all sparkes and ashes shalbe blowen quite away But at Bauar and Austria where this fire did not appeare they shall peryshe in darkenesse excepte God be mercifull vnto them â§ Of certayne other straunge tokens and wonders THe day before the fyre was sene in the ayre that is the seuen and twenty day of December in the ende of the yere M. D.
