which came from Bristoll a widdow and had been the wife of one Mr. Cary a Woollen Drapper on the back of Bristoll this woman had seen many strange apparitions of the late King at severall times as his Crown all bloudy himself in black and his head off with many other such visions she could not be quiet untill she came to London to acquaint himself with those visions which she had seen of him and after two years time spent in soliciting this Noble man and that Noble man and others to bring her to the King at length the Earl of Dorset after much importunity brought her to the King where she told his Majesty all that she had seen of him he gave her the hearing of it but would give no credit to what she had said but bid take her away she was a merry woman then when she had told him all that she had seen of him she returned to Bristoll again thinking there to rest her sell in peace she had not been there many dayes but those Visions appeared to her as at the first whereupon she could not contain herself but must of force come up to London the second time to acquaint his Majesty with what she had seen of him since her last being with him at Whitehall but before she could get to London his Majesty was gone to York yet though she was in years and a weakly woman and the journey long and tedious for such a one as her self to undertake yet she must of necessity go after him to York and was conveyed to York in a Coach by means of a Lady which at the writing hereof is living neer London who can justifie the same if any should scruple the truth hereof and being come to York she had admittance to his presence where she once again related to him all that she had seen of him since her last being with him at Whitehall with much praying and beseeching him to consider what she had seen and said of him but he would not harken to her nor give credit to what she had said unto him for certainly the Lord had hid these things from him and would not let him understand them because he would destroy him for to that purpose the Lord did harden the heart of Pharaob that he should not believe the wonders which Moses the servant of the Lord wrought in his fight to make his name known to all the world for saith the Lord Exod. 9.16 For this cause have happointed thee to shew my power in thee and to declare my name in all the world but the more plagues the Lord did send on Pharaob the more his heart was hardned by them I could wish that all those into whose hands these sad Presages shall come that they would consider with themselves that there was more then an ordinary hand in causing this Gentlewoman being so antient as she was to take upon her two so great journeys as these were first from Bristoll to London then to Bristoll again then to London and so to York and all upon her own charge surely there must be more then an ordinary hand in it which did guide this woman she being so ancient as she was and no kind of distemper at all in her but in a very good temper both in mind and words and in her behaviour very civill as many people in London that did talke with her concerning these visions can witnesse ☞ VIII I have been credibly informed that his Highnesse the Lord Protector that now is being in a Gentlemans house at prayer in a room wherein the Kings Picture did hang neer about the middest of prayer the Picture fell down to the ground which was a sad presage to the King and now seems to be a clear testimony of Gods purpose to reject him but how hath the Lord Protector been preserved in so many great dangers as by Gods providence he hath gone through in his own person since these troubles began and that dainger which he escaped in the Coach was not the least and questionlesse the Lord hath appointed him to be the man to Govern the Nation at this time who can deny Gods permissive providence IX His Majesty being one day at Causam neer Redding playing at Chesse he playing with the white men the head of the white King fell of which was as ominous a presage as any of the rest X. When the Lord Fairfax was at St. Albons and the generall Counsell of the Army drawing up the grand Remonstrance in order to require justice against the King the Sign of the Kings-head beneath the hill from the Crosse that part of the board between the head and shoulders was broken out of the Sign none knowing how it came to be so so that the head and shoulders were separated from each other it seemed then to be an ominous thing to what did shortly befall him in pursuance of that Remonstrance then drawing up against him by the Army Wherefore I would wish that althose malignant spirits that are so bitter against this Government to consider that there is no power given unto men upon earth but by God therefore let them sit still and see the Lords work done in truth and righteousinesse for surely the Lord will owne him so far as he doth act for the Lord and no underhand practis shall prevail against him mauger all the Devils in hell they shall not touch him to do him harme for the Lord will be his Protector so long as he doth act for the Lord but if he act not of and for the Lord then the Lord will bring all his actions to nought and it will fall to the ground of it self as once Gamaliel said to the Jewish Rabbins refrain from these men and let them alone for if this Counsell or this work be of men it will come to nought but if it be of God you cannot overthrow it least happily ye be found fighters against God Act. 5.28 29. And as M. Saltmarsh said once in a Sermon before the Lord Fairfax So long as you serve the Lord he will be with you but if you fall from the Lord the Lord will fall from you Therefore to those turbulent spirits I will use our Saviour Christs own words to Saul going to Damascus to persecute the people of God It is hard for you to kick against prickles And I do now wish that you which are such enemies against this Government to look up to God and lay aside your own particular interesse and if there be any thing amisse in your hearts cast it out and leave all unto the Lord for himself to rectifie for your plots and devises will surely come to nought XI There is one thing more yet as remarkable as the rest When the King was at the high Court of Justice on his Tryall the head of his cane fell off he stopping to take it up himself took it as an ominous Presage unto himself and so indeed he might have done
