of wonders and strange miracles which this present age doth frequently represent that of late years we have been exceedingly astonisht at several to us strange and seldom heard of much to be admired wonders But now prepare your ears to hear the most amazing and most unparalel'd miracle that ever England was made sensible of or I think the whole world was ever made acquainted with nay so wonderfully strange and seemingly impossible to be true that though it be attested with manifold assertions it cannot lodge in the breast of the incredulous as an unquestionable verity But to proceed to the matter intended and not too much to derogate from my designed business let this inform the most doubtful unbelieving Reader that there is lately an account Tent from Flanders of the strange manner of the coming of one man into a City of Germany eminently known by many travellers to be one of the Cities not lest accounted of in Germany this person of such an age as he says he is no less to be admired for his great age than for his strange kind of Prophesies which he daily parts with and his manner of coming into the City which we are informed was invisible but to come to particulars this person doth affirm that his age is greater than ere was heard of for he doth say he is above two hundred and fifty year old and says that he hath the spirit of truth in him with many other assertions no less full of wonder than that you have already heard of in the preceeding lines His manner of apparel is no less to be admired than his manner of discourse of such habit as we are informed he doth wear was never seen by mortal eyes his Deportment is also very strange for he walks up and down the City preaching and admoning to serious Repentance and giving admirable advice to the people to forsake their iniquities to return from their evil ways For says he the wrath of 〈…〉 He also adds that the City of Rome is a second Sodom and that the transgressions of the people have ascended up to the Heavens and approached the ears of the Almighty and that nothing can preserve them from approaching misery but speedy and unfeigned Repentance without which he doth assert and in three years the City shall be utterly destroyed and consumed by fire by our last advice we are informed that this man had continued there for the space of eight days preaching about the City the Magistrates being offended at his Doctrine have forbid him to preach but he took no more notice of it than to return this answer that he was sent from God to move the people to Repentance and to abandon those iniquities which if not deserted would doubtlesly pull down vengeance upon them in a short time After this order was given for his confinement which being performed he was frequently visited by several Jesuites who discoursed with him in several tongues namely the Latin Hebrew and Caldean wherein he was exquisitely perfect He also acknowledges that he knows well such as live loose and wicked lives He is not over curious in his Dyet 〈…〉 … cate and general food is nothing but dry bread and his strongest drink is water only He prophesies of many strange things and the time when all the wickedness in the world should have an end every one shall serve the Lord and worship the God of Heaven then nation shall no more rise against nation nor Kingdom against Kingdom all the world shall be at peace being asked by some of the amazing people whose astonishments were as great as his answers strange How long it would be before this blessed day would come his reply was absolute about the 1699 should certainly be the end of all wickedness in the world all Nations shall live in the fear of the Lord all the world shall be at peace His strange and unknown coming into this City was admired by all at last he was examined by the Magistrates from whence he came he answered that he came from a place called Galadiam in Damas a City of Gallilea and a messenger of the Almighty sent to preach Repentance to the sinful world but the Jesuits not at all pleas●● 〈…〉 Discourse have pr●v 〈…〉 y perswaded their magistrates to condescend to what they so earnestly Requested which is that he is very well acquainted with what shall be his Portion and what shall become of him and that he looked upon it altogether unnecessary to be so loaded with questions but did acknowledge that he was very desirous to see the Pope and so without any difficulty and with great ease breaking out into a passion he filled the Spectators with astonishment as Report of the wonders will certainly fill with amazement all those to whom this matter shall be communicated He also Prophesied as here follows A Certain Prince as Religious as a Turk shall overspread that Peoples territories and War Desolation will be occasioned by the unruly Nobility who by their Civil Dissentions shall occasion the Ruin of the French monarcy and if you would know near the time of this great mutation it shall be when a certain King called William is twice made a King and a Duke of Florence turns Protestant this Prophesie seems to hint at the present juncture though written so many years since in consideration the English Scotish Nation have unanimously proclaimed submitting their crowns to William Henry his present majesty so that he may be said twice to be made a King FINIS ♈ ♊ ♌ ♎ ♐ ♒ ♓ ♑ ♏ ♍ ♋ ♉
