Spanish Armadoes For thine enemies that rise agaynst thee shall fall before thy face they shall come out against thee one way and flye before thee seauen wayes His word that speakes this may be taken better than any Kings in the World and therefore hold out both thy hands vnder this Tree of Blessings and catch the golden Apples when so freely they are shaken downe into thy lappe But if thou trample these gifts vnder thy feete and spurnest at Gods Fauours bestowed vppon thee New quiuers of punishments will then be opened and other strange fearefull arrowes be shot at thy bosome Heauen shal be turned to Brasse earth to Iron dust and ashes be giuen for Raine our Wiues shall haue others lye with them our great houses shall haue others dwell in them our Vineyards to bee planted yet we shall neuer taste them Our sheep to bee giuen to our enemies and our sonnes and daughters to be led into Captiuity If therfore with Naaman thou wouldst be cleansed from thy Leaprosie of sinne thou must obey Elisha and wash thy selfe seauen times in Iordan Weepe seauen times a day nay seauen times an houre for offending thy mercifull Father Whosoeuer with Ahazia the King of Samaria falleth sicke and sendeth for recouery to Baal-zebub the God of Ekron and not to the true God indeede he shall not come from his bed but die the Death For wee sinke to the bottome of the waters as the Carpenters axe did in the second of the Kings but though neuer so iron-hearted the voyce of an Elisha the feruency of Prayer and praysing God can fetch vs from the bottome of Hell and by contrition make vs swim on the top of the waters of life Stand therefore at the Gates of Gods mercy still begge still knocke still and knocke hard For Hannab was barren yet being an importunate suiter her petition was heard and signed She was fruitfull and had three Sonnes and Daughters So when we are barren in Repentance in Thanksgiuing in Charity in Patience in Goodnesse let vs vnfeignedly pray to Heauen we shal be fruitfull and these fiue shal bee our Sonnes and Daughters By this meanes our Mara shall change her name to Naomi and our bitternesse be turned into sweetnesse Haue we not great cause then to magnifie him who Crowneth the yeare with plenty and whose steppes drop fatnesse Haue we not reason to tremble at his Threatnings who couereth himselfe with Light as with a Garment and spreadeth the Heauens like a Curtaine who layeth the beames of his Chambers in the Waters and maketh the Clouds his Chariot and walketh vppon the wings of the winde This Almighty Thunderer hath Spirits attending vpon him for his Messengers are flaming fire to runne of his errands If he but lookes vppon the earth in anger it trembles If hee but touch the Mountaynes they smoake and are consumed So that if wee fall not on our knees to doe him reuerence If we open not our lips to glorifie his Name If we fall not flat on the Earth at the sound of his dreadfull voyce woe be to vs we are lost for euer vndone for euer His blessings if we receiue them not with the right hand are to vs as messes of meate set vpon a Graue What then are his chastizements O● they are terrible and not to be indurde Many windowes hath he set open in Heauen to shewe what Artillery hee has lying there and many of our Kings haue trembled when they were shewne vnto them What blazing Starres euen at Noone-dayes in those times hung houering in the Aire How many frightfull Ecclipses both of Sun and Moone What apparitions of battailes How many times haue Armies fought against Armies in the disturbed vpper Regions It is not for man to dispute with God why he has done this so often nor rashly to pronounce judgement vppon any thing it pleaseth God to accomplish now but with feare and trembling casting our eyes vp to Heauen let vs now behold him bending his Fist onely as lately he did to the terrour and affrightment of all the Inhabitants dwelling within a Towne in the County of Barkshire Looke vp therefore now and see a New Wonder THE name of the Towne is Hatford in Barkeshire some eight miles from Oxford Ouer this Towne vpon Wensday being the ninth of this instant Moneth of April 1628. about fiue of the clocke in the afternoone This miraculous prodigious and fearefull handy-worke of God was presented to the astonishable amazement of all the beholders Men Women and children being many in number The weather was warme and without any great shewe of distemperature only the skye waxed by degrees a little gloomy yet not so darkned but that the Sunne still and anon by the power of the brightnesse brake through the thicke clouds and made them giue way to the Maiesty of his beames A gentle gale of wind then blowing from betweene the West and Northwest in an instant was heard first a hideous rumbling in the Ayre and presently after followed a strange and fearefull peale of Thunder running vp and downe these parts of the Countrey but it strake with the loudest violence and more furious tearing of the Ayre about a place called The white Horse h●ll than in any other The whole order of this thunder carried a kind of Maiesticall state with it for it maintayned to the affrighted Beholders seeming the fashion of a fought Battaile It beganne thus First for an on-set went on one great Cannon as it were of thunder alone like a warning peece to the rest that were to follow Then a little whileafter was heard a second and so by degrees a third vntill the number of 20. were discharged or there abouts in very good order though in very great terror In some little distance of time after this was audibly heard the sound of a Drum beating a Retreate Amongst all these angry peales shot off from Heauen this begat a wonderful admiration that at the end of the report of euery cracke or Cannon-thundering a hizzing Noyse made way through the Ayre not vnlike the flying of Bullets from the mouthes of great Ordnance And by the iudgement of all the terror-stricken witnesses they were Thunderbolts For one of them was seene by many people to fall at a place called Bawlkin Greene beeing a mile and a halfe from Hatford Which Thunder-bolt was by one Mistris Greene caused to be digged out of the ground she being an eye-witnesse amongst many other of the manner of the falling The forme of the Stone is three-square and picked in the end In colour outwardly blackish some-what like Iron Crusted ouer with that blacknesse about the thicknesse of a shilling Within it is soft of a gray colour mixed with some kind of minerall shining like small peeces of glasse This Stone brake in the fal The whole peece is in weight nineteene pound and a halfe The greater peece that fell off weigheth fiue pound which with other small peeces being put
