which remain unfulfilled so when they come to pass some other circumstances may be added which are not convenient to be told now for private reasons but will shortly appear If I had a mind to look into the antiquities of this county I might ●ind that Prodigies and Prophecies are no unusual things there Cambden tells us that at Brereton not many miles from Vale Royal which gave name to a famous antient numerous and knightly family there is a thing as strange as the perching Eagle or the falling of the wall which he says was attested to him by many persons and was commonly believed that before any heir of this family dies there are s●en in a lake adjoining the bodies of trees swimming upon the water for several days together He likewise adds that near the Abbey of St. Maurice in Burgundy there is a fish-pond in which a number of fishes are put equal to the number of Monks of that place and if any one of them happens to be sick there is a fish seen floating on the water and in case the fit of sickness proves fatal to the Monk the fish foretells it by its own death some days before This the learned Cambden relates in his description of Cheshire and the opinion of the trees swimming in the lake near Brereton prevails all about the country to this day only with this difference that some say 't is one log that swims and some say many J.

The Divisions in England in Matters of Religion Lastly of great and terrible Persecutions which shall fall upon the Reformed Churches by the Papists wherein the Pope should be chiefly concerned Written by the Person who heard it from this excellent Man 's own Mouth and now published e●rnestly to persuade us to that Repentance and Reformation which can only prevent our ruin and Destruction And the Lord said Shall I hide from Abraham the Thing which I do Gen. xviii 17. Strange and Remarkable PREDICTIONS Of that Holy Learned and Excellent Bishop JAMES USHER Late Lord Primate of IRELAND THE Author of the Life of this excellent and worthy Primate and Archbishop gives an Account that among other extraordinary Gifts and Graces which it pleased the Almighty to bestow upon him he was wonderfully endued with a Spirit of Prophecy whereby he gave out several true Predictions and Prophecies of Things a great while before they came to pass whereof some we have seen fulfilled and others remain y●t to be accomplished And though he was one that abhorred Enthusiastic Notions being too learn●d rational and knowing to admit of such idle Freaks and Whimsies Yet he professed That several Times in his Life he had many Things impressed upon his Mind concerning future Events with so much Warmness and Importunity that he was not able to keep them secret but lay under an unavoidable Necessity to make them known From which Spirit he foretold the Irish Rebellion forty Years before it came to pass with the very Time when it should break forth in a Sermon preached in Dublin in 1601 where from Ezek. iv 6 discoursing concerning the Prophets bearing the Iniquity of Iudah forty Days the Lord therein appointed a Day for a Year He made this direct Application in relation to the Connivance at Popery at that Time From this Year says he will I reckon the Sin of Ireland that those whom you now embrace shall be your R●in and you shall bear this ●niquity Which Prediction proved exactly true for from that Time 1601 to the Year 1641 was just forty Years in which it is notoriously known that the Rebellion and Destruction of Ireland happened which was acted by those Popish Priests and other Papists which were then connived at And of this Sermon the Bishop reserved the Notes and put a Note thereof in the Margin of his Bible and for twenty years before he still lived in the Expectation of the fulfilling thereof and the nearer the Time was the more confident he was that it was near Accomplishment though there was no visible Appearance of any such Thing and says Dr. Bernard the Year before the Rebellion broke forth the Bishop taking his Leave of me being then going from Ireland to England he advised me to a serious Preparation for I should see heavy Sorrows and Miseries before I saw him again which he delivered with as great Confidence as if he had seen it with his Eyes which seems to verify that of the Prophet Amos iii. 7. Surely the Lord will do nothing but he will reveal it to his Servants the Prophets From this Spirit of Prophecy he foresaw the Changes and Miseries of England in Church and State for having in one of his Books called De Prim. Eccl. Brit. given a large Account of the Destruction of the Church and State of the Britons by the Saxons about ●50 Years after Christ He gives this among ●ther Reasons why he insisted so largely upon 〈◊〉 that he foresaw that a like Judgment was ●●et behind if timely Repentance and Reforma●●on did not prevent it and he would often ●ourn upon the Foresight of this long before it ●ame From this Spirit he gave mournful Intima●●ons of the Death of our Sovereign Charles the 〈◊〉 of whom he would be often speaking 〈◊〉 Fear and Trembling even when the King 〈◊〉 the greatest Success and would therefore 〈◊〉 pray and gave all Advice possible 〈◊〉 prevent any such Thing From this Spirit he foresaw his own Poverty in worldly Things and this he would often speak 〈◊〉 with Admiration to the Hearers when he was in his greatest Prosperity which the Event did most certainly verify From this Spirit he predicted the Divisions and Con●usions in England in Matters of Religion and the sad Consequences thereof some of which we have seen fulfilled and I pray God the rest which he feared may not also be accomplished upon us Lastly From this Spirit he foretold That the grea●●st Stroke upon the Reformed Church●s was yet to come and that the Time of the utter Ruin of the See of Rome should be whe● she thought herself most secure And as to thi● last I shall add a brief Account 〈◊〉 the Person 's own Hand who was concerned therein which followeth in these Words The Year before this Learned and Holy Primate Archbishop Usher died I went to him an● earnestly desired him to give me in Writing his Apprehensions concerning Justification an Sancti●ication by Christ because I had for merly heard ●im preach upon those Point● wherein he seemed to make those great Mysteries more intelligible to my mean Capacity tha● any thing which I had
