FORE-TELLING What Admirable Events are like to fall out in the Horizon of Little Britain beyond Mawburn Hills and in all other places in Europe Asia Africa and AMERICA As also a true Storie of the beginning of the Welsh-men their Rise and Progress and how they came first to inhabit the Welsh Mountains never heretofore discovered either in Print or Writing and now published for the comfort and consolation of aul her countreymen now living and for the benefit of Posterity Likewise an Astrological Prediction concerning the Gazing Star seen by thousands of people in and about London the 22. and 23 of February 1653.

Another of her reasons is because her own cosen and countreyman Lewis ap Shone being a fery learned shentleman in the Mathematical Science doz confirm her in her judgment and now to her prognostication In this Moneth her shall have fair weather if it be not foul in this moneth also is a very good time for her to eat Leeks and Onions especially in her welsh porrage it will moke her good plood and will cleanse her veins from excrementuous humours in this Moneth her is fearful divers of her cosens and countrymen will be in great danger by reason of some malevolent Planets influence upon her deer countrymen for if her be not mistaken in her Annals her Cosen Lewis Keeg Guidon was hang'd at Presteign much about this time of the yeer and if her countreymen be not serry careful of their own safeties there will be many of her Countreymen go the same way for her know that when the sign is in the neck as it is on the 11 day of this moneth her Countreymen are in much danger of which her is ready to give them warning which her prayes all her Countreymen to take in time for if her do not take her counsell in time it will be worse for her and therefore if her love her neck peware apout this time creat plots and conspiracies are like to he found out but hope though her bee not fery sure that her honest countreymen wil have nothing to do with such deeds of darkness for her own part her do declare her shudgement freely her thinks it best and safest to sleep in a whole skin and her say again and again tat for her own part let whose neck wil come into a halter her is resolved to keep her neck out if her can for her do wel remember tat if her head be once cotten in it s hardly cotten out again quickly for her own father was a Shentleman of cood quality for a Welshman and was shoakt with a halter and yet her was no plotter nor conspirator but a fery honest shentleman of cood repute among her neighbors only her borrowed five yoke of Oxen of her neer kinsman Rice ap Hugh without her consent which misfortune her cannot attribute to any thing but her destinie and malevolent stars and terefore her shal conclude tiss moneths Observations with te words of a wise man xiz He tat pewares not pefore shal pee sorry afterwards Aprills Observations Tiss moneth pegins te firft day according to te shudgement of the ancient and for her own part her is of the same shudgement and tat for tiss reason pecause as her humbly conceives tere is a new Moon te seven day apout three quarters of an hour past three of te clock in te morning and du● her think a new Moon can pee made in less time than seven days and some few odd hours and minuts Truly her thinks not for her owne part neither duz her pelieve tat te best or most skilfullest in aule her country can make one new moon in twice te time let her prate what her wil if her knows not te Law her duz but lose her labor and make her self pee laught at for her tat wanteth knowledg art and science is but the outside of a man without an inside For now her call to her memory her have read a Story of Alexander and his great horse for they were both wise it is reported of his horse tat when he had his trappings and rich furniture on he would suffer none but his Master Alexander himself to come neer him but when his rich furniture was off hee was so gentle that any one of his Masters servants might get upon his back and ride him at pleasure for which her wisdom as her humbly conceives it was that her Master Alexander loved her so wel for Alexander was a man that loved learning and learned men intirely her made so creat account of knowledg and learning tat her would oft times say tat her thought her selfe more peholding to Aristotle for her learning than to Philip her father for her life pecaus as her conceived the one viz Learning is immortal and te other viz.
