the_o testimony_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o matter_n of_o fact_n be_v the_o most_o pregnant_a proof_n that_o we_o christian_n can_v use_v against_o the_o jew_n themselves_o or_o for_o confirmation_n of_o

for_o this_o great_a politician_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v too_o superstitious_a or_o credulous_a in_o this_o kind_n that_o by_o his_o write_n many_o have_v suspect_v he_o to_o have_v be_v rather_o irreligious_a more_o incline_v to_o atheism_n then_o either_o to_o the_o christian_a or_o jewish_a nation_n and_o whatsoever_o in_o this_o kind_n he_o have_v observe_v as_o he_o himself_o confess_v be_v in_o a_o manner_n evict_v or_o extort_a from_o he_o by_o the_o evidence_n of_o truth_n the_o true_a cause_n of_o such_o prodigious_a sign_n or_o forewarning_n he_o profess_v he_o do_v not_o know_v and_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v he_o in_o this_o because_o he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o right_a end_n or_o use_v of_o they_o but_o this_o say_v he_o all_o we_o of_o florence_n know_v that_o the_o come_n of_o charles_n the_o eigth_n french_a king_n with_o a_o puissant_a army_n be_v foretell_v long_o before_o by_o jerome_n savanorola_n and_o likewise_o foreshow_v by_o many_o other_o sign_n rife_o in_o his_o time_n throughout_o the_o dukedom_n of_o tuscany_n now_o this_o divination_n of_o savanorola_n be_v not_o gather_v from_o any_o politic_a observation_n for_o charles_n his_o attempt_n be_v in_o all_o politic_a esteem_n so_o incredible_a and_o rash_a that_o the_o grave_a senator_n of_o venice_n will_v give_v no_o credence_n unto_o the_o first_o news_n of_o his_o enter_v into_o italy_n until_o one_o of_o their_o ancient_n better_a acquaint_v it_o seem_v with_o that_o french_a king_n disposition_n then_o the_o rest_n tell_v they_o that_o he_o can_v more_o easy_o believe_v this_o rash_a attempt_n of_o that_o french_a king_n then_o of_o any_o of_o his_o predecessor_n but_o beside_o the_o testimony_n of_o matchiavel_n for_o this_o particular_a we_o have_v the_o undoubted_a testimony_n of_o philip_n the_o comtnes_n that_o grave_a and_o religious_a historian_n who_o be_v then_o agent_n for_o the_o french_a king_n in_o italy_n and_o relate_v this_o prediction_n from_o savanorola_n his_o own_o mouth_n with_o more_o particular_n than_o matchiavel_n mention_n for_o he_o express_o foretell_v he_o of_o that_o unexpected_a success_n which_o charles_n at_o his_o first_o come_n do_v find_v but_o this_o he_o foretell_v with_o this_o proviso_n or_o caution_n that_o unless_o the_o king_n his_o master_n do_v faithful_o execute_v the_o work_n whereunto_o the_o lord_n of_o lord_n and_o king_n of_o king_n have_v design_v he_o he_o will_v quick_o call_v in_o his_o commission_n and_o bring_v the_o french_a army_n back_o again_o into_o their_o own_o land_n with_o disgrace_n and_o loss_n the_o event_n do_v prove_v both_o these_o part_n of_o this_o prediction_n to_o be_v most_o true_a this_o great_a alteration_n of_o state_n and_o war_n in_o italy_n as_o matchiavel_n confident_o affirm_v be_v likewise_o portend_v or_o foresignify_v by_o such_o apparition_n in_o the_o air_n as_o the_o author_n of_o the_o second_o book_n of_o maccabee_n in_o his_o 5._o

maccabee_n before_o cite_v be_v these_o and_o then_o it_o happen_v that_o through_o all_o the_o city_n for_o the_o space_n almost_o of_o 40_o day_n there_o be_v see_v horseman_n run_v in_o the_o air_n in_o cloth_n of_o gold_n and_o arm_v with_o lance_n like_o a_o band_n of_o soldier_n and_o troop_n of_o horseman_n in_o array_n encounter_v and_o run_v one_o against_o another_o with_o shake_v of_o

that_o that_o apparition_n may_v turn_v to_o good_a he_o instance_n in_o another_o sign_n or_o prodigy_n well_o know_v to_o all_o in_o florence_n which_o do_v portend_v or_o foresignify_a the_o death_n of_o lorenzo_n de_fw-fr medici_n who_o lay_v the_o first_o foundation_n of_o the_o present_a dukedom_n of_o tuscany_n in_o his_o family_n be_v a_o man_n who_o by_o his_o wisdom_n have_v preserve_v all_o italy_n a_o long_a time_n in_o peace_n for_o a_o little_a before_o his_o death_n the_o roof_n of_o their_o chief_a church_n or_o temple_n take_v fire_n from_o heaven_n which_o much_o deface_v it_o the_o banishment_n of_o petrus_n soderinus_n a_o great_a peer_n and_o pillar_n of_o the_o state_n of_o florence_n in_o his_o time_n and_o the_o calamity_n which_o ensue_v thereupon_o be_v likewise_o fore-signified_n or_o portend_v by_o the_o burn_a of_o their_o guild-hall_n or_o senate-house_n by_o lightning_n or_o fire_n from_o heaven_n these_o example_n he_o bring_v from_o his_o

his_o discourse_n as_o he_o do_v begin_v it_o that_o whatsoever_o may_v be_v think_v of_o such_o conjecture_n or_o forewarning_n this_o be_v most_o certain_a by_o experience_n that_o some_o great_a alteration_n always_o follow_v upon_o such_o sign_n or_o forewarning_n as_o for_o herodotus_n i_o like_v his_o verdict_n in_o this_o kind_a the_o better_a because_o he_o refer_v this_o observation_n of_o prodigy_n or_o sign_n of_o the_o time_n unto_o the_o egyptian_a nation_n which_o be_v the_o most_o ancient_a and_o most_o remarkable_a kingdom_n among_o the_o heathen_n and_o what_o reason_n the_o egyptian_n have_v to_o observe_v these_o prodigy_n and_o sign_n of_o the_o time_n more_o than_o other_o both_o jew_n and_o christian_n can_v but_o know_v or_o may_v remember_v see_v god_n have_v show_v such_o sign_n and_o wonder_n in_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n as_o have_v not_o be_v show_v in_o any_o nation_n before_o such_o as_o can_v scarce_o be_v parallel_v in_o any_o nation_n since_o beside_o in_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n until_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n or_o the_o sign_n which_o shall_v be_v give_v before_o it_o come_v unto_o matter_n relate_v by_o the_o author_n
