that a meane heate cannot resolue such ● matter out of the earth and draine th● same vp 3 The second effect of a Comet is barrennesse of the earth hunger and the dearth of vittayles in that the earth is caused barren through much drougth and lack of moysture for drougth is as the stepmother vnto all fruites and corne of the earth● but moysture is the apt mother vnto all fruites and crescent things on the earth So that such a mightie heat doth excéedinglye drie vp the earth and consumeth the moysture in plantes and trées through which they decay and heare no yéelde no●store of fruite Or thus A Comet doth cause harrennesse of the earth in that vnto a Comet a great and much exhalation is required by whose eleuation from the earth the fatnesse of the earth is so drawne vp which thus eleuated the earth after becommeth harren of yéeld and the moysture with which the earth ought to be battened is then through the ouermuch drougth vtterly depriued For whiche cause a Comet is the fore note of hunger and dearth in the same Realme which it specially beholdeth or stretcheth the tayle towardes and from whence it gathered and tooke his substance 4 Comets doe portend the murraine of beastes in that the ayre ensuing is infected and euill disposed through the hote grosse and clowdy exhalations which when beasts draw thereof are then intoxicated and infected and so die Also for that the time then is excéeding hote and the radicall moysture is on such wise drawne vp by the hote aire from the bodies of men and beastes in whō the naturall moysture is placed as in the proper seate of the same beastes and other liuing creatures die for which cause it is the minde and councell of the learned Phisitions to vse in the same time moyst and colde meates wherby the radicall moysture may so be increased and preserued 5 Comets mooue battels and seditions and alter Emperies and kingdomes for that in the time of a Comet are many exhalations in the ayre hote drie which doe drie men and kindle heat in them by which they are lightly prouoked to yre after which yre ensueth variance next of the same followeth battell and after battell succéedeth the translation or alteration of gouernements when as the Emperie ensueth the conquerour 6 Comets do portend the death of princes kings gouernors other Magistrates of a cōmon weale in that these leade a more daintie life and féede on finer meates continuallye through which they sooner be infected The death besides of princes and heade gouernors through the difference of many is of worthier report and fame and for that cause more obserued To these I adde that the Choloricke persons are then vehementer mooued through which the perturbations or troubles of mind ensue that procure seditions and battels after which procéede oftentimes the slaughter of many and death of princes for that these many tymes be present in battailes and are lightly prouoked to yre by which the battell ensueth the fiercer and on such wise many come to their death Macrobius left in writing that the death of Constantine was indicated by a Bushie starre of an excéeding bignesse that appeared in the yeare after Christes birth 304. Sundrie examples of Comets THat singuler Philosopher Augustinus Niphus writeth that after the appearing of a Comet in the yeare 1506. there followed within two yeares such a mightie drougth in Lumbardie that from Ianuary vnto the moneth of Nouember there fell no raine at all in that Countrie In the yeare of our Lorde 1165. appeared a mightie Comet or blasing starre in Scotland reaching burning out with two most long beames or tayles after which within .xiiij. dayes Malcolmus the fourth king by name of the Scottes dyed a mayden as the Chronicle reporteth In the yeare of our Lorde 1214. in the moneth of March appeared two fearefull Comets in Scotland the one going before the Sunne and the other following him after which the same yeare when as that most happie and good king William had reigned 49. yeares he then dyed an olde man. In the yeare 1268. there appeared a Comet of a maruellous bignesse about the noonestéede which was séene for manye dayes togither in Scotlande And in the yeare of our Lorde 1271. after and in the ix day of Ianuarie there arose such a cruell winde and mightie tempest withall and hayle stones of such a bignesse that through the same many houses in Scotlande were throwne down burned with fire through the windes which kindled after the same that they there kept in their houses for the vse of fire that the whole Country in a maner was wasted by the fire In the yeare of our Lord. 1538 and in the eightéene day of Ianuarie there appeared a Comet after the setting of the Sunne which was placed in the signe Pisces and the tayle looking or stretching towarde the East after which died immediately the Duke of Saronie In the yeare of our Lorde 1539. and the sixt daye of the moneth of Maye appeared a Comet in the signe Taurus not farre from the head of the Dragon which indured burning for thrée wéekes in a maner after which died Isabell of Portugall the wife of Charles the fift Emperor in the trauaile of childe In that yeare died George Duke of Saronie of an olde and crude rupture before whose death as some write there appeared thrée Comets after the appearaunce of which died the Duke of Cleaue the bishop of Trident and diuers other noble persons and Capitaines In the yeare 1540. began a great coniunction of Saturne and Mars which hapned in Cancer after which followed a marueilous drougth aboue many sommers before so that hay corne and all kinde of pulses became very scarce And this drougth folowed rather as some write after the apperaunce of a Comet the same yeare and great Eclips of the Sunne which happened the seuenth day of Aprill whose beginning was before the Sunne rising and endured in this Eclips two whole houres after the Sunne was risen vppon which followed at Prage a noble Citie in the kingdome of Boheme that the Castell with the Cathedrall Church were burned with fire and many fearefull fiers hapned often in sundrie places as the same had bene by a diuine punishment from heauen And a Commotion hapned the same yeare among the Citizens of Gaunt which Charles the fift Emperour stayed by hys wisedome Many examples more of Comets might here be vttered which for breuitie in so smal a treatise omitted and the rather for that I haue at large written of them and other weightie matters right necessarye in my booke to come forth named the Myrrour of tyme. Other prodigious tokens IN the yeare 1542. were many straunge children and monstruous beastes séene and in that yeare it rayned bloud at Sassen burge in Germanie And in Phriseland that yeare arose a certaine Prophet named George Dauid declaring himselfe to bée Gods nere kinsman and one that coulde counterfaite

re●●esented the forme and ymage of the sunne ●nd Moone The materiall cause is a thicke ●owde equall and regulare which is pla●●d by a thwarte maner of the sunne so that ●yther aboue nor beneath him nor right before him it standeth but placed at the one side And this matter thicke and waterie that the refraction may be caused the better and this regulare also that it may the more giue and shewe an vniforme ymage of the sunne And waterie that the Sunne may the commodiouser be represented euen as the like is caused in water So that the clowde prudently is placed on the one side and not vnder the Sunne nor right against for if right against then woulde the same be a Rainebow if vnder the sunne then would Halo be caused And this for the more part is caused in the East or West through the disposition of the clowde The formall cause is the refraction of the sunne beames in the clowde being at the one side which altogyther as a Glasse receyueth the sunnes beame and the colour which then is in the sunne it causeth euen the like to appéere as when of a light ayre through his thicknesse the sight is broken For the beames falling vnto the same clowde thus fashioned and of the same broken vnto the sight especiallye in that clowde not being ouer thicke thinne or blacke doe expresse the ymage of the sunne To conclude when a dewie clowde or vapourous is in anye part pierced then are the Sunne beames gathered in that hole and by the refraction shed vnto the sight so that such a brightnesse appéereth as if the sunne it selfe where séene For thys Parelius is as the ymage of the sunne appearing in a great looking Glasse And hereof it is that manye sunnes sometimes are sayde to appeare togither as two or thrée So that the first is the figure of the sunne it selfe the second and third consisteth through the breaking of the sunne beames in the clowde placed on the one side by which thrée sunnes or more are oftentimes séene As the like by experience was obserued that the king of Polelande sawe togyther sixe sunnes after which folowed that Fraunces the French king was taken prisoner for the tyme. The similitude AS the drie exhalation and that vehemently hote in pierting the vpper region of the kindled starre doth represent a ●orme and sphericall figure through the farlesse euen so a strong and mightie vapour flying into the highest of the middle ayre giueth the forme of the sunne and causeth a circle to appéere The ende and effect of these THe finall cause Phisick or the materiall effect of Pareliorum is the foreshewing signifying and pronouncing of rayne to come abounding of a moyst matter For they signifie that the ayre to contayne much matter or substaunce of showers especially if Parelia shall be placed in the South region of heauen For the greatest clowds hereof waxe ouercharged in that the South ayre is better and sooner chaunged into water than the North ayre But to the Diuines or Theologically these many tymes por●ende and foreshewe feareful and straunge matters so that they be often in doubt what will follow except anye by hap woulde make a coniecture of them For as all celestiall impressions in a maner haue a certaine hid or secret signification in nature which is not materiall euen so doe Parelij alwayes portende som● singuler will and effect deuine to be looked for so that many sunnes are sildome séene but that eyther conspiracies be attempted or the alteration of kingdomes or some new matters laboured about the subuersion and dispos●ng in religion To conclude the cause of these is so secret and diuine that the great conspiracies of Monarchies the dissentions of Kings and Princes and the fearefull vprores and commotions of other Empyries ciuill battels and other lamentable matters to men are wreshewed by such impressions Certaine examples of these IN the yeare of our Lorde 1157. in the Moneth of September were thrée sunnes togyther séene the skie then being verie cléere and within a fewe dayes after of the same moneth thrée Moones were séene and in that moone also possessing the middle place a whyte crosse was séene After which a great discorde folowed among the Cardynals in the election of their highe Byshop and a lyke controuersie among the Princes electours in the election of the Emperour of Rome In the reigne of Henry the seconde king of Englande and in the Calends of October for thrée howres almost were séene thrée circles about the Sunne after which vanished awaye two sunnes séemed to appeere After this sight insued a discorde betweene the king and the Archebishop of Caunterburie And Frederick Emperour besseged Mylayne for seauen yeres almost and in the ende sacked and spoyled the Citie lamentably In the yere 1169. thrée sunnes were séene in the West in the Nonis of September and after two houres two of them vanished the same which possessed the middle did set alone in the Weste and in the lyke maner the next yere folowing thrée Moones appeared In the yere 1314. before the ciuill battle of Lewys of Bauare and Frederick of Austrige which contended and fought for the Empyrie thrée ●unnes were séene in heauen and a discention also of the electours ▪ and other attempts folowed In the yere of our Lord. 1469. at Rome were thrée sunnes séene after which an vprore of the Citizens folowed And the sam● yeare a battle fought in Italie Frannce● Duke of Mylayne dyed and for the segni●ritie many contended by great conspiracies In the yeare 1492. after the middle of December in Polelande were thrée sunnes séene at noone after which Vladislaus king of Hungarie ouercame Maximilian and Casimirus king of Polelande left his lyfe or dyed thys yeare before whose death a Comete went which appéered for two Moneths togither after the sunne setting In the yeare 1514. in the tenth day of Ianuarye and seauentéene of March thrée sunnes were séene in heauen of which the middle was greatest and in the eleuenth of Ianuary and seauentéenth of March thrée Moones were like séene in the same yeare the Sweueland men stirred an vprore agaynst the Duke of Wirtenbergensis which much vexed hym And aboue 40. thousande Moscouites were slayne of the Polanes by the ryuer Boristhenes In the yeare of our Lorde 1523. at Tigurie in Helueria in the sixt Nonas of May thrée sunnes were séene togyther and sundrie circles séene togither in heauen after which in the same yeare folowed a reformation of Churches with the casting forth of Idols instituted and stablyshed at Tigurie In Holland the same yeare a great commotion attempted In the yere 1525. before the death of Lewes king of Hungarie in Hungarie were séene thrée sunnes which without doubt signified y thrée kings should contende for the Emperie as Ferdinandus Duke Iohn of Saxonie and the great Lurke In the yeare 1527. in Sweueland thrée sunnes and sundrie celestiall circles were séene In the yere 1528. and in the seauentéene day of
