denoted the swift and victorious progress of the Grecians and the Persian Habit denoted to Alexander the Persian Empire should become subject but his sudden vanishing signified he should not long possess it Cambyses dream'd that he sat in his Brother Smirdis Royal-Seat and that his Crown touched the Sky it was interpreted that he should shortly die and his Soul being free from the incumberance of his Body should mount aloft Xerxes upon his entering Greece with a numerous Army dreamt that he was Crowned with Olive Branches which shadowed all the Earth it was intepreted that he should be overcome by the Greeks and end his days in sorrow A Runner in the Olimpick Games dream'd he was carried in a Chariot with four Horses and imparting it to Antiphon a wise man of that Age he told him that he must expect to lose the Race seeing four run before him the Horses by their strength signifying the celerity and ability of those that run before him A certain Person dreaming he saw an Egg hang by a string at his Bed-side told it to an Interpreter who bid him search the ground directly under that place and he would find great riches which he accordingly did and found as he had been told Ptolomy Alexander the Great 's Favourite being wounded with a poysonous Arrow in a Battel against an Indian King Alexander one night dreamt that the Dragon that his Mother Olimpia kept brought him a Root in his Mouth and having delivered it lead him to the place where many of those Roots grew and informed him that by their virtue Ptolomy's wound should be cured which made such an impression in his mind waking that he caused the place he dream they grew in to be searched and finding the Roots experiment was made and it not only cured Ptolomy's wound but divers others made by the like invenomed Weapons The Lord Stanly in the time that Richard the Third was Pretector dreamt that a Boar set upon him and the Lord Hastings and so gored them with his Tusk that the blood ran about their ears whereupon considering that the said Richard had a white Boar for his Cognizance he conjectured that the mischief might proceed from him and was so far possessed therewith that he sent a Servant immediately it being then about midnight to acquaint the Lord Hastings with his Dream and the fears he had of the Event as likewise further to desire him to withdraw himself e're Morning which Message being delivered the Lord Hastings thus replyed Good Lord does your Master lean so much upon Trifles to put such Faith in Dreams which either his own fear fancieth or else do rise in the night by reason of the days thoughts go back therefore and recommend me to thy Master and pray him to be merry and have no fear for I assure him I am as sure of the man he thinketh of as of my own hand Notwithstanding the next day he lost his Head by the commandment of the Protector and the Lord was dangerously wounded by one amongst divers armed men that came into the Council-Chamber to slay him Dr. Moor in his Treatise of the Immortality of the Soul tells us a very strange passage 〈◊〉 that two Gentlemen 〈…〉 Magara one of them took up 〈◊〉 Lodging 〈◊〉 a Friend's house but there being no more room the other who had a considerable sum of money about him he went to an Inn when about Midnight the former being asleep dreamt that he saw his Friend stand by his Bed-side beseeching him to come to his assistance for he was set upon by his Host and in danger to be slain At which starting he leaps from his Bed and made towards the Chamber-door to have gone to the Inn but finding it locked and considering it was but a dream he went to Bed again when sometime after falling asleep he dreamt he saw his Friend a second time all bloody who earnestly requested him that seeing he had neglected to come and rescue him whilst alive yet that he would not be wanting to revenge-his death saying he was murthered by his Host who was carrying him out of the City in a Cart covered with dung Which made such an impression in his mind waking that he immediately put on his Cloaths the day by this time dawning and running towards the City-gate found a Cartladen with dung accordingly which he causing to be searched the dead Body of his Friend was found therein and the Host confessing the fact was deservedly executed The Night 〈…〉 King Henry the second was 〈…〉 Eye by Montgomery in a Just of which wound he died Queen Margaret his Wife dreamt she saw his Eye so put out and warned him of it but neither her warning nor Montgomery's using many endeavours to avoid the Combate could avert his destiny Morison in his Book of Travels relates that whilst he was at Prague he being asleep in a Sun-shining morning fancied he saw an Image pass by him which told him his Father was dead whereat being somewhat troubled he awoke and wrote down the hour and day which he put into a Box and looked not on it till he came into England and had strictly inquired the time of his Fathers death which as near as could be computed agreed with his Paper And thus much may suffice for dreams c. so much observed in former times that their Interpretations were looked upon as Prophetick they imagining that some Angelical or Divine Power more immediately conversed with the Soul and dictated things strange and wonderful when it was in a manner freed from the Body which lay dissolved in drowsie repose Though all dreams are not to be considered alike for their verity in significrtion for some proceed meerly from the action or observation of the day past others ill digestion and ascending vapours but those more especially that proceed from neither of these and make a perfect Impress upon the memory and whereat you are more immediately concerned are chiefly to be noted especially such as are confirmed by dreaming the same over and over as it often happens the Soul being therewith more than ordinarily affected as it happened to Pharoah and divers others that I might instance but for brevities sake think convenient to omit and pass on to relate something relating to Nativities the most curious and nice part of Astrology and indeed of that this or any other Science whatsoever the perfection of
