celestial_a sign_n do_v necessary_o portend_v some_o great_a and_o singular_a thing_n some_o mighty_a change_n as_o well_o in_o the_o civil_a as_o the_o ecclesiastical_a government_n and_o for_o as_o much_o as_o according_a to_o the_o write_n of_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n and_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o time_n wherein_o we_o live_v no_o singular_a thing_n yet_o remain_v to_o be_v fulfil_v but_o that_o the_o jew_n may_v be_v convert_v unto_o christ_n and_o incident_o that_o babylon_n come_v into_o remembrance_n before_o god_n and_o all_o the_o wicked_a by_o the_o fire_n of_o the_o judgement_n be_v blot_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n whereby_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n may_v be_v make_v obedient_a unto_o god_n and_o christ_n we_o just_o conclude_v hence_o that_o all_o these_o very_a same_o thing_n be_v prefigure_v and_o portend_v to_o we_o by_o all_o the_o aforesaid_a celestial_a sign_n afore_o recite_v and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v serious_o to_o watch_v and_o diligent_o to_o weigh_v with_o ourselves_o how_o the_o matter_n stand_v in_o we_o with_o god_n and_o our_o neighbour_n whether_o our_o loin_n be_v gird_v our_o lamp_n burn_v n.b._n n.b._n that_o in_o such_o posture_n we_o expect_v the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n to_o the_o marriage_n and_o that_o so_o soon_o as_o ever_o he_o shall_v come_v and_o knock_v we_o present_o open_v to_o he_o the_o door_n luk._n 12.35_o 36._o i_o say_v whether_o our_o lamp_n be_v trim_v that_o at_o whatsoever_o hour_n that_o cry_n shall_v ring_v out_o behold_v the_o bridegroom_n come_v we_o forthwith_o be_v

ourselves_o from_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lamb_n and_o from_o the_o face_n of_o so_o faithful_a a_o master_n and_o bridegroom_n who_o so_o dear_o buy_v we_o and_o do_v so_o strait_o charge_v we_o to_o wait_v for_o his_o return_n to_o the_o marriage_n what_o shall_v we_o answer_v unto_o he_o who_o have_v so_o faithful_o and_o continual_o forewarn_v we_o by_o so_o many_o and_o so_o great_a monition_n of_o his_o most_o sacred_a word_n and_o by_o so_o many_o and_o so_o great_a sign_n in_o the_o heaven_n but_o i_o seem_v to_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o some_o most_o famous_a man_n and_o exercise_v or_o experience_v in_o astronomicals_n object_v it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o planet_n do_v by_o their_o influence_n act_v upon_o these_o inferior_a body_n as_o certain_z general_a cause_n but_o see_v the_o action_n of_o man_n and_o their_o effect_n and_o consequence_n be_v not_o determine_v by_o those_o general_a cause_n but_o by_o these_o particular_a to_o wit_n by_o man_n will_n and_o the_o free_a consult_v of_o man_n it_o be_v fond_a and_o beside_o sound_a reason_n to_o intend_v to_o conclude_v any_o thing_n certain_a concern_v the_o action_n of_o man_n and_o their_o effect_n and_o consequence_n by_o those_o general_a influence_n of_o the_o planet_n to_o these_o thing_n i_o answer_v 1._o we_o determine_v nothing_o concern_v the_o action_n of_o man_n and_o their_o effect_n and_o consequence_n by_o the_o star_n as_o by_o their_o cause_n but_o only_o as_o by_o the_o sign_n of_o they_o whereby_o god_n do_v foreshow_v we_o and_o set_v before_o our_o eye_n as_o in_o a_o table_n the_o free_a action_n of_o man_n and_o their_o effect_n and_o consequence_n for_o as_o god_n foresee_v all_o thing_n which_o shall_v ever_o come_v ●o_o pass_v from_o the_o first_o beginning_n of_o the_o world_n as_o it_o appear_v plain_o out_o of_o the_o prophecy_n of_o daniel_n chap._n 2._o 20._o and_o of_o other_o prophet_n so_o have_v he_o set_v the_o sign_n of_o all_o these_o thing_n in_o the_o heaven_n that_o they_o who_o have_v eye_n to_o see_v may_v there_o see_v as_o in_o a_o looking-glass_n what_o god_n have_v foresee_v shall_v come_v to_o pass_v on_o earth_n in_o his_o time_n 2._o in_o that_o we_o seem_v here_o to_o determine_v something_o as_o certain_a we_o have_v not_o that_o from_o the_o star_n but_o from_o the_o s._n scripture_n probable_a reason_n and_o by_o a_o certain_a sensitive_a experience_n all_o which_o see_v they_o do_v so_o fair_o agree_v with_o the_o star_n and_o concur_v to_o the_o same_o sense_n they_o deserve_o aught_o to_o be_v of_o some_o moment_n with_o we_o but_o grant_v that_o thou_o can_v not_o know_v certain_o any_o thing_n by_o those_o celestial_a sign_n as_o be_v above_o thou_o and_o exceed_v thy_o capacity_n if_o nevertheless_o thou_o have_v thy_o eye_n open_a to_o see_v what_o thing_n be_v do_v on_o earth_n and_o thy_o ear_n to_o hear_v what_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n do_v express_o and_o round_o teach_v there_o will_v not_o be_v want_v to_o thou_o reason_n whereby_o thou_o may_v sufficient_o discern_v the_o end_n of_o this_o world_n and_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o next_o at_o hand_n for_o which_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o spiritual_a eye_n and_o sublime_a understanding_n ●ut_v only_o of_o attentive_a observation_n of_o thing_n visible_a and_o sensible_a and_o humane_a faith_n only_o whereby_o we_o so_o believe_v the_o sign_n incur_v into_o our_o eye_n that_o we_o be_v convince_v for_o who_o do_v not_o see_v how_o the_o whole_a christian_a world_n be_v divide_v in_o itself_o and_o miserable_o tear_v into_o many_o contrary_a party_n even_o as_o the_o secular_a government_n or_o last_o monarchy_n of_o the_o world_n and_o which_o be_v more_o how_o not_o only_o the_o whole_a be_v divide_v into_o two_o integral_a and_o great_a part_n as_o of_o old_a but_o into_o many_o little_a small_a part_n and_o again_o every_o part_n every_o sect_n every_o region_n and_o nation_n disagree_v among_o themselves_o so_o that_o the_o people_n know_v not_o which_o way_n to_o turn_v nor_o who_o they_o may_v believe_v one_o roman_n catholic_n rise_v against_o another_o roman_a catholic_n lutheran_n against_o lutheran_n reform_v against_o reform_v anabaptist_n against_o anabaptist_n yea_o one_o member_n of_o the_o roman_a empire_n against_o another_o the_o guest_n be_v not_o safe_a with_o his_o host_n nor_o the_o father_n in_o law_n with_o the_o son_n in_o law_n the_o amity_n of_o brethren_n also_o be_v rare_a as_o the_o poet_n etc._n poet_n non_fw-fr ●ospes_n ab_fw-la
