A Prophetick Demonstration OF Many Remarkable Passages Observed and Gathered together as they were FOUND IN A MANUSCRIPT INTITLED The Mistery of Observable Predictions upon the Present State Of REYNELVS ROMVLVS OR The unridled Hyraglip of a She FOX Nurss'd by a She Wolf In a Stile Answerable to Miltons Heroick Verses on lost Paradise Causes Discovering how Death first contracted Vpon the Stage stands where its part is Acted The First Part of Seasonable Cautions c. Now Published for publick Benefit Which being Divided into Four CHAPTERS Therein is Treated the Matters Contained in the following Table having Relation by the unridled Hyraglips To the Discovery made of the Late POPISH PLOT LONDON Printed by J.

Eternity 2 ly The Creation of the World 3 ly Paradise 4 ly What is most aptly and chiefly hince applyable unto the present State of New Rome She being built Nurssed up and maintained by the French Interest in the same manner as Romulus being Nurssed by a Wolf was the Builder of Old Rome The Preface OR EPISTLE TO THE READER READER FOrasmuch as the Insuing Treatise bareth an unusial stile it being a Comment upon the Hyraglips of the Antients and those Poetical fixions wherein hath been buryed their knowledge of a Deaty whom under divers signeficant terms and Charectors do in effect confess the same things published by that Holy and worthy Prophet of GOD Moses who it is believed did write our first four Cannonical Books of Scriptures from Genises to Joshua for this reason we give you to understand first that by those many Names of the Power of God which is but one is lively displayed the Virtue and Power of that One upon whom all Second Causes have their dependance And then because what is attributed to this one who hath variety of Names to make him so distinguishable in his works Secondly the use of those many Names are to let you understand how by the variety of Opperations in that one Spirit GOD did hath and will effect the purpose of his decreed resolutions to bring to pass all things which by the Counsell of his will and wisdom he Eternally Intended and therefore considering that the same which those Poets do call Aether and Dies Coelus and Terra Coelum and Vesta c. is intended by Moses concerning the Generations of the Heavens and Earth wherein the Firmament and Day were the two first seperated properties of the work of GOD you by the same Rule may trace a coherance between the Writings of these the Poets or Prophets to the Gentiles and Moses the Prophet of GOD unto the Jews who then were accompted his only People Moreover Thirdly concerning the Names of those Healthenish Gods and Godesses Saturn Jupiter Neptune Pluto Juno Venus c. they being the Names of certain Powers properties and Virtues of the Heavens and Earth attributed unto Persons that in the Older Ages of the world might and did bare those Names as doth also the Stars of that birth under which Each hath it particular signification you are to consult that as by Saturn TIME is signify'd so whatever is generated in Time being the product of Saturn and Ops signifying Natures Necessity of help in that work Occeanus also signifying the mighty deeps or Abiss upon which the darkness remained while the Earth was in its Chaos void of Form it doth appear that untill the Spirit of GOD had breathed and did move upon waters of the unform'd world in its first nothingness the Generations of Oceanus which now are brought forth of such Abiss did nevertheless till the Spirit of Nature became separate from its Heavens by the disjoyning of TIME from Eternity lay hid in the Chaos of Terra So that Fourthly where any word or Term remains dubious you are to proceed unto that part by which it is explained and you will finde such a coherence in the whole that shall give you to understand a prophetical Interpretation of those Mistical Charactors and Hyraglips of the Antients under which knowledge hath been lockt up from the more vulgar capacities until this time come for every thing to be reveal'd and stand unseal'd the reason of which both why was lockt up in proverbical dark sayings and Sentences those Misteries now to be unridled and also of the Time for its unsealing every one will come to read in themselves who are once come to finde the key as also why the Arms of Englands principality are signify'd and represented by that Noble Species of a Lyon Rampant Passant Couchant or Dormant and why by the principality of France is signifyed a Wolf pawing on the Flower de Luce these with the Fox Ape Swan Peacock Goose c. being Heraglips that we have seen and of the reason of our application have so much on our side as every one must be forced to confess unto the truth thereof that owns or pretends to such reason unless while scrupeling whether or no Romulus was nurss'd by a Wolf they fall into a flat denyal of New builded Rome to be nurssed and supported by the French power and Interest But our indeavours are Candidly for the Readers Benefit Who am Reader in all Service of Love thine Robert Bryan A PROLOGVE To the Insuing TREATISE GODS Wisdom first found out away Foundations of all Worlds to Lay Vpon a Cause more firmly fix'd Then all the Seeds of Nature mixt In one Great Mass the Chaos was Of matter unform'd by Natures Laws Though we confess the Abiss was To every thing a Second Cause Of Form distinct to Natures Soul And every Orb about doth rowl Of the Great Worlds Universe On whom GODS Power did Impress The Seal of Forms that are distinct Among themsels as Causes link'd Together in One Golden Chain Intelligable to remain And this doth draw about the whole Of all the parts that have one Soul Causing the End with the beginning To meet together as one wining The Game and prize at stake was laid In Natures womb none can upbraid Because Eternity did will A Cause Eternal to fulfill Those things which being brought about Are the Effects of what doth sprout From Cause of Nature in a Lump In whom all Second Causes Jump According to purpose decreeing All Causes of Nature and being As well unto the parts as whole Of matter and
