mirabiliter fieri traditur ut nulla venenata bestia ibi vivat Petrus Galasinius ex Beda lib. 1. cap. 1. Histor Angl. That is He was the first Bishop of Ireland and his Image is portrayed with Serpents cast under his feete for that by his divine vertue it wonderfully came to passe that no venemous Beasts can live there This is a miracle indeed if it be true Surely Panrick extracted all the Venome of Serpents Toades and such like odious creatures then in Ireland And by his preaching infused the same into the people There were before Patrick came such like creatures there and there be now in Ireland more Venemous and Serpentine people then the very creatures themselves can be in any other Countrey in the world which this late Horrid Rebellion doth sufficiently evince But I hope there will be a Reformation there as well as here more glorious preaching then that of Patrick or all Popish Bishops Priests Jesuites c. And the Faith Catholicke indeed not in a Popish sence Though I conceive this Manapian should have said since Ireland first received the Popish Catholicke faith c. This had beene to purpose and then I should not have excepted against it The next Chronologicall Observation is Since England first received the Catholicke Faith 1463 yeeres If he had said since England first received the Christian Catholicke Faith c. it had beene somewhat neere truth For King Lucius beginning his rule over the Brittaines hearing of divers miracles wrought by the Christians and amongst the rest of the plenty of Water in time of distresse and want thereof as of the great Victory obtained Anno Christi 173 for the Emperour Marcus over the Marcomanni Quadi by the prayers of the Christian Legion which he called Fulminatrix sent to Eleutherius then Pope of Rome to send him some learned men into Brittaine to instruct the people in the Faith whereupon he sent Damianus and Fugatius who Baptized King Lucius and his people He was the first Christian King of Brittaine and lived neere the time of Christian Religions Primitive purity when Popish Catholicke Religion was not heard of If any of the Popes were ought this Pope Elutherius was none of the worst He prohibited the superstitious refusall of eating any thing which was mans meate Et primus erat Episcoporum Romanorum qui non periit morte violenta King Lucius built Peters Church in Cornhill London about 430 yeeres before Pauls Church which was built by King Ethelbert who began his raigne Anno Christi 596. After follows since Henry the second arrived at this City of Waterford and the first Major of it 474. yeers This is neer an historicall truth for Anno Christi 1170. or thereabout at what time that ambitious turbulent fiery spirited Arch-bishop of Canterbury Thomas Becket was slain This King Henry the second had wars with Ireland and the next yeer he subdued it and I suppose King Henry the second at his comming to Waterford made it a Major Town and indeed as most men that have been there report it to be the second City in all Ireland and that the Kings of England have granted great priviledges to the same Who this Major was our Irish Chronologer doth not name I beleeve he was an English not an Irish man for I cannot conceive otherwise but they were then rebellious as now so that there is greater necessity of correcting their present rebellion by a new supply of valiant English men who if they land at Waterford the present Major may chance to be displaced and the Citizens lose their liberty The next is since the use of Guns invented in Germany and the first making of Powder by a Fryar Bartholdus Swartz 263. yeer This doth not much differ from the supposed time of their known use in Christendom although I have read that in the time of Charles the great who flourished about the yeer of Christ 800. Camoscus Frisiae Rex Slopeti ictu Hollandiae Comitem cum duobus filijs transuerberavit and Roger Bacan our famous Historian who flourished about the yeer or Christ 1280. makes mention of Gun-powder and I beleeve what Petrus Maffeus writes that Guns were of great antiquity and known in China many Centuries of yeers before they were used in Christendome However let us suppose that Bartholdus Niger vulgo Swartz Monachus Franciscanus Alchymista usum Bombardae vulgavit pro ut nunc est anno Christi 1380. as Alsteed sayes in his Chronologie Orig. var. pag. mihi 256. I think the Adage Turdus sibi malum cacat or as we in England have it he hath made a rod for his own breech will be exactly verefied this yeer Look to it all ye Irish Popish Fryars Monks Jesuits c. and the rest of that rabble of Locusts there are new Guns new Ordnances inventing preparing that will purge and cleer the three Kingdoms of all of you Now this Irish Chronologer Bellarmine like spets forth venome and rores out which since Lutheranism Calvinisme and such like heresies began in Germany 128. yeers he that would be throughly satisfied touching this worthy Doctor Martin Luther this Malleus Paparum Papistarum may be pleased to peruse the second Tome of Acts and Monuments or the Book of Martyrs written by that reverend and learned man Master John Fox p. 60 61. deinde of the last Impression 1641. he shall have his life and doctrine at large described he flourished in the yeer of Christ 1515. c. This is he of whom John Hus at the time of his Martyrdom prophesied 1415. Centum Revolutis annis Deo Respondebitis and Hierom of Prague 1416. at his Martyrdom who said Post Centum annos omnes vos Cito now 100. yeers after Martin Luther began first to write against the Pope which was exactly verified Reformation began in his time he opposed the Popes supremacy writ against his pardons Decrees Buls and so stoutly defended himself against them that he was excommunicated by the Pope and men hired to kill him nay the Devil the Pope the Emperour and almost all the Christian world were against him and by open force and secret fraud sought his destruction yet God miraculously preserved him for about thirty yeers space in despight of them all and at last he dyed in hia bed in peace at Islebia in Germany the 18. of Febr. 1546. from whence his body was removed to Wittenberg and there was buried the 22. of February 1546. it being just 100. yeers since this Febr. 1646. at what time I write this and now I may adde a third Prophesie or prediction to cite all Irish Priests and popish Fryars c. Quod post centum annos Luthero respondebitis this Chronologer most falsly accusing him of heresie whose sound doctrine hath so confuted the errours of those ignorant times that to this day the Papists could never answer him but most maliciously traduce him As for Master Calvin he was a most reverend orthodox man and

I will only repeat what I mentioned in my Prognostication for the yeer 1643. in some Astrologicall remembrances and so close up this Discourse In my Observations of the Revolution of the yeer 1640. amongst others I observed that Belliger iracundus Mars Anni hujus Dominus Vim irae Rabiei passim Capricornistis toti ejus Quadrangulo tam Dirum in medium immittit ut parum tranquilitatis illis remansurum sit quod malum maxime Conjunctio Martis Saturni tribus vicibus hoc Anno in Aquario Humano generi Hispalensis authoritate igne gladio exasperabit Rosea Jovis prosapia that is Archbishops Bishops Prelats c. contentiones multa nova percipiet collabentur desiderabilia ipsorum claudicabit sanitus eorum I could wish T.

B. Samuel Baker then one of the Bishops Chaplains and a Licenser expunged all this and defaced it with a Deleatur I wonder how they love truth or peace that will not suffer us to speak of praedict or pray against War was not there good ground of fears and jealousies If we should remember the Eclipses of the Sun and Moon 1639. and since that time and the great Configurations of the Planets such as the Conjunction of the two Malignants Saturn and Mars three times in 1640. viz. in June August and September and the Quadrate of them in the end of December 1641. and the beginning of January 1642. and thereto adde the Conjunction of Jupiter and Mars the middle of May as likewise the Conjunction of Saturn and Mars again in the same yeer the 27. of May with other great Conjunctions and Aspects of the superior Bodies and compare the times occurrences we may easily see God forewarns us of his judgments by his Heavenly Militia what bloody murthers treasons and trecheries what unheard of cruelties have been acted in Ireland by the Rebels there the powder-plotting-blood-thirsty Papists and their Adherents persons popishly affected was there not great cause of Fears and Jealousies such a fire is kindled that it is even come to our own doors threatning us with unnaturall intestine wars This and much more I mentioned in that yeers Almanack and thereto I refer you I have but one note more to commend to the Irish and I have it out of the above mentioned Rantzovius pag. 101 in these words Richardus de rebus Hybernicis attendendum est hoc loco unum insigniter diem Hypernicis infestum quasi fatalem illuxisse Limericum die Martis Brittanni expugnabunt die enim Martis Guesfurdia fuit dedita die Martis Waterfurdia ab obsessoribus occupata die Martis Dublinensis Civitas armis oppressa that is Richard or Richardson of the Affairs of Ireland in this place that is Ireland it is to be observed or listned unto one day hath appeared famously hurtfull and as it were fatall to the Irish the Brittains or Englishmen expugned or won by assault Limerick upon a Tuesday Weixford was yeelded up upon a Tuesday Waterford was possessed by the Besiegers upon a Tuesday and the City of Dublin was oppressed by war upon a Tuesday I know not why a Tuesday yea every Tuesday throughout the yeer should not be fatall to the Irish for in this last Conjunction I have made this Discourse of Mars to whom Tuesday is appropriated and therefore it is called Dies Martis is most unfortunately placed To every thing there is a time and a time to every purpose under the Heaven Eccless 3.1 The Lord hath made all things for himself yea even the wicked for the day of evil Prov. 16.4 That which hath been is now and that which is to be hath already been and God requireth that which is past Eccles 3.15 But enough at this time Ad Deum Te nostrae moveant Deus quarelae Et tristes gemitus gravesque luctus Quos nobis varios ferunt cientque Exorti Stygio Lacu tumultus Poenarum dedimus satis superque Sat multi priere sat feroci Bellonae licuit Satis cruoris Hausit Sacrilegi furor duelli Quare disidiis procul remotis Optate redeat quietis aura Hoc te supplici●us piisque votis Et multis lachrymis Deus rogemus ILLVCens taVro MartIs ConIVnCtIo noVa nVnCIat hIbernIs satVrnI IVrgla Clto 1 M. 1000. 5 C. 500. 2 L. 100. 7 V. 35. 11 I. 11.   1646.
