A TRUE RELATION OF Some passages which passed at Madrid in the year 1623. by Prince Charles being then in Spain prosecuting the match with the Lady Infanta AS ALSO Severall Observations of eleven Ominous Presages some of them hapning in the same year whil'st the said Prince was in Spain the rest of them hapned from that time untill his death With a discovery of some of the wayes which the then Popish Bishops used to bring Poperie into this Nation By a lover of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the wellfare of this Nation Printed at London 1655. To the Impartial Reader READER I Had no intent ever to have put in print these Ominous Presages for they have been of an ancient standing in my head the most part of them old things being fit for nothing but to be forgotten or at least laid aside But a friend of mine knowing that I had observed them long agoe some of them being of 30. years standing or more desired me to give him a short brief of them which I did but when I had collected my memory and saw the troubles that do dayly increase by some who delight to fish in troubled waters and considering that there are many good people that are not yet setled in their hearts concerning these mutable times but do still continue opposite to the Government as now it is and do not once think of or it may be never heard of any of those sad Presages which the Lard sent to give warning to those that would take warning or notice of them and lay them to their hearts I did also then consider with my self that if they were published to the view of all the Nation that they may give good satisfaction to some and might draw them from their self-opinions which of a long time they have had of these most turbulent times so that if they will but look up to God they shall plainly see that the hand of God is in all the actions that hath passed untill this day and that no one tittle of the work that the Lord hath appointed to be done but it shall be fully effected though men strive never so much against it Therefore I desire thee to consider well of what thou shalt find written in these few lines for they are truth and were acted by those which sought to bring in Popery to this Nation in those days when they had the reines in their own hands And certainly these Predictions are true and were purposely sent by God to some though not to all that they might take notice of them I having long agoe spoke with some that did take notice of them as well as my self and did look upon them as from the hand of God And I do wish in my heart that all those into whose hands they shall come to read them carefully and imprint them in their hearts and be well advised how they do practise or contrive any thing tending to the shedding of any more innocent bloud in this Nation for certainly they will be found out and themselves will have as great a share in the destruction which they do practice as any of those shall have which they shall practise against either in their lives Limbs Estates Wives Children and all that is deer unto them nay which is the greatest of all their souls will have the greatest losse when they shall lose heaven without the great mercy of God I will conclude with the words of the Psalmist O that men would fear the Lord and praise his holy name for his mercie endureth for ever For certainly he will as heretofore he hath done overthrow the horse and his rider if they do persist in their exorbitant wayes And I will now say with Paul as in an other case My hearts desire to God is that men would serve the Lord with fear and trembling and fit still and see the Lords work done in his onwn good time A true Relation of some passages which passed at Madrid in Spain in the year 1623. by Prince Charles being then prosecuting the Match with the Lady Infanta As also some Observations of several Ominus Presages some of them hapning the same year 1623. the rest of them hapning from that time until his death Reader I Do desire thee to consider with thy self if thou hast hard of or seen any of these observations following if yea then whether thou didst make that use of them as was expected from Gods hands thou shouldst have done for certainly they were not done in a corner but were sent from God as forerunners of his wrath against the late King and all those Popishly inclined Prelats and other his abetters that did assist him in those Practises and Councels for the bringing in of Popery into this Nation as it did plainly appear by the s●…encing of so many Godly and Orthodox Ministers as then were put from their preaching and livings since his coming from Spain at which time many young Divines at receiving their Orders for preaching were forbidden to read certain mens works as M. Perkins his works Clarks Sermons and others and were likewise limited what subject they should preach on as the Lords Prayer the Belief the Ten Commandements and the like and the better to bring their practises to passe they did cause all Orthodox books that were out of print and to be reprinted although the Authors of them were dead many years before to be brought to the Bishops Chaplains to be reviewed by them who were half if not altogether Popish or at least Arminians and they to expunge or put in any Popish tenet which they thought fit to put in although those men which wrote those books were men of as sound judgment as any of those that did corrupt or abuse their works and it is very likely that if the Bishops themseves were so much given to Popery they would entertain none to be their Chaplains but such as should be as themselves were and by that means many good Ministers works were corrupted and themselves counted Popish by all that should read their new revised works which the Authors were no wayes guilty of But you will say that many of the Bishops were free from Popery It is very true some of them were so but those that were nearest to the King in his Councels were not as Neal Wren Laud and others were not but mark I pray you 30. years before the Angels of England did begin to fall which were the Bishops as Mr. Brightman a famous Divine did call them and one whom the then Bishops persecuted even to the forsaking of his Native Countrey he the said Brightman did prophesie the downfall of them to begin in the year 1639. which fell out very neer the time for in the year 1640. or very neer it they were expelled the Parliament for their misdemenors their for many of them appeared then to be Popish And after the wars began Bishop Wrens house being searched there was found in it
