Queene Maries daies And since that tyme in Fraunce and Spaine and other places there hath been thereof to muche experience if the will of GOD had been otherwise Verse 10. More ouer he saieth And then shall many bee offended and shall betraie one an other and shall hate one an other And hath there not been many offences bothe giuen and taken Yea oftentymes more offence taken then occasion hath been giuen Was there euer the like treasons and treacherous conspiracies committed in any age As hath been in these our daies And was there euer more bitter hatred showed betwixt one and other then is at this present I am perswaded the like enemitie betweene partie and partie was neuer seen as is in this our age otherwise there would not be so many brabbling matters sette abroche almoste in euery Courte in Englande as there be c. Moreouer Christe sheweth that many false Prophetes shall arise and shal deceiue many for proofe whereof what saie you to the swarmes of Anabaptistes whiche doe sowe their Deuelishe doctrine almoste in euery place in the worlde And is not this verified also thinke you Of the secrete reuelation of H. N. and of the deuelishe darnell and cursed doctrine of Dauid George and Christopher Vitell and diuers others the cheefest Pillers of the familie of Loue Whose bookes of damnable heresies directly againste diuerse of the moste principall Articles of the christian faithe are scattered abroad in many places of this realme to the greate disturbaunce and breache of that vnitie of faithe which ought to be kept in the bonde of peace But thaÌ„kes be giuen vnto God the Queenes Maiestie by her graue and learned Counsaile hath taken suche order that not onely all suche bookes shal be called in againe throughout the whole Realme but also that the Sectaries them selues shall bee attached and committed to close prison there to remain till either thei shal be purged and cleared of their heresies by recantation or els by the Lawes of the Realme to suffer the iuste sentence of condemnation for their demerites and to bee condemned as heretiques The heresies whiche thei maintain as thei are infinite in nomber so are thei also full of blasphemie 1 As namelie thei affirme that thei dooe liue so perfectly that thei synne not 2 Also that who soeuer is one of their coÌ„gregation is either as perfecte as Christe or els a very Deuill 3 Thirdlie thei denie with Arrius that Christe is equall with the Father in the power and substance of the Godhead groundyng that opinion out of this place of the Scripture where Christe saieth Ihon. 14.27 My Father is greater then I. Not consideryng that Christe saieth in an other place I and my Father are one c. Ihon. 10.30 4 Thei doe affirme that the Resurrection is paste alreadie with Hymeneus and Philetus Whiche concernyng the truthe haue erred 2. Tim. 2.18 and dooe destroye the faithe of certaine 5 Thei do refuse to suffer persecution for their Religion because thei saie that their bodies are the temples of the holie Ghoste wherein thei doe deny the wordes of Christ who saieth Math. 5.10 Blessed are thei whiche suffer persecutioÌ„ for righteousnesse sake for theirs is the kyngdome of heauen c. These with an infinite nomber of other grosse errours doe this deuelishe family of Loue maintain in their blasphemous bookes whiche I doe omit for breuities sake Onely haue I giuen the worlde a taste of a fewe of their opinions that by the consideration thereof all men maie maie take heede of the reste of their Pharisaicall Leuine and damnable doctrine whiche is set a broche in their seditious Bookes firste made in the Dutche tongue in the name of H. N. and lately translated into Englishe haue been secretly brought ouer from beyonde the Seas into the Realme The titles whereof are called EuangeliuÌ„ Regni or a Ioyfull Message of the Kingdome Documentall sentences The Prophecie of Loue. A publishyng of the peace vpon earth and diuers others which for auoiding of tediousnesse I will not recite at this present Math. 24. verse 12. And furthermore Christ saieth ver 12. that because iniquitie shal bee encreased the loue of many shal be colde but he that endureth to the ende shal be saued Was there euer I praie you more iniquitie Did synne and transgression so aboundantly raigne euery where as it doth at this present Was Christian loue and brotherly fellowshippe more cold at any time then now No truely Suche wickednesse at this daie is raignyng generally vpon the face of the earth that if it were not for the electes sake that these wretched daies should bee shortened it were not possible that any fleshe should bee saued But to conclude our Sauiour Christ addeth verse 14. Math. 24.14 That this Gospell of the kyngdome shal be preached through the whole worlde for a witnesse vnto all Nations and then shall the ende come Now I hope that there is no man so impudent that will deny these Prophecies of Christe to bee alreadie fulfilled For so muche as the Gospell hath been so vniuersally and plentifully preached throughout the worlde that there is none who caÌ„ excuse hymself in the daie of the lorde and saie that he hath not heard the sounde of his Gospell preached and published vnto hym by those which are appointed to be the stewardes of suche holie misteries but rather thei must needes confesse that greate hath been the multitude of the Preachers c. What reason can there bee alledged to the contrarie then but that the consummation of the worlde is imminent Seyng that Christe who is the truthe the waie and the life hath spoken it Of whoÌ„ it is written Math. 17.5 that a voice came out of a Cloude saiyng This is that my beloued Soonne in whom I am well pleased heare hym Hereunto I doe adde that which is writteÌ„ by the Apostle Paule 2. Thes 2.1 Now wee beseche you brethren by the commyng of our Lorde Iesus Christ and by our assemblyng vnto hym That you be not sodainly mooued from your minde nor troubled neither by spirite nor by woorde nor by letter as it were from vs as though the daie of Christe were at hande Lette no man deceiue you by any meanes For the daie shall not come except there come a departyng first that is to saie Apostasie or a deniall of the Christian faithe and that the man of synne be disclosed euen the sonne of perditioÌ„ whiche is an aduersarie and exalteth hymself against all that is called God or that is worshipped c. Well all these signes ye see haue been already paste and wee can not deny but that wee haue seene and yet doe daiely see an infinite nomber of Antichristes whiche deny the manifest and vndoubted truthe and fall to Poperie and all abhominable Idolatrie so that the daie of the Lorde can not bee farre of but must needes be at hande Moreouer I beseche you harken what Christe

this Iudgement that the Lorde God hymself is the originall aucthour and principall worker of this Starre as of all others makyng it an immediate messenger and minister of his will accordyng to the tyme and place as it beste pleaseth his diuine and eternall maiestie Who seyng that we bee suche an obstinate and stiffenecked people that wee will not bee moued to loue hym neither in respecte of his long sufferaunce and louyng mercie shewed all waies towardes vs neither yet in respecte of that moste sweete and comfortable voice of the Gospell whiche hath been preached full .xxij. yeres vnto vs by his faithfull seruauntes and Ministers Dooeth now in his secrete councell goe an other waie to woorke and by fearfull Eclipses of Sonne and Moone and by glisteryng flames of fierrie Cometes and other suche like monstruous signes and tokens in the heauen and in the earth doeth goe I saie about to enforce and coÌ„pell vs against our willes to be mindfull of the latter daie whiche is not farre of If we will giue any credite to the woordes of Christ who immediatly after he had made mention of the signes whiche should bee sene in the Sonne and in the Moone and in the Starres doeth forthwith adde these wordes CuÌ„ haec videritis euenire cognoscite quod prope est regnuÌ„ dei That is to saie Math. 24.33 When ye se all these thinges knowe that the kyngdome of God is nere euen at the doores Luke 21.28 And againe when these thinges doe beginne to come to passe then looke vp and lift vp your heades For your redemption draweth nere Behold the Figge tree and all trees when thei now shoote forthe ye seyng theÌ„ knowe of your owne selues that Sommer is nere So likewise ye wheÌ„ ye se all these thinges come to passe knowe you that the kyngdome of God is neare Verely I saie vnto you This age shall not passe till all these thynges bee doen heauen and yearth shall passe awaie but my woordes shall not passe awaie By that whiche hetherto hath been spoken you see how almightie God is not onely the creator and gouernour of Nature it self and of all Naturall causes but also he is suche a one as in the worke of this blasyng Starre is to bee acknowledged and confessed to bee the onely efficient cause And therefore he onely and not the blasyng Starre is to bee feared and had in reuerence consideryng that he is of power able not onely to chasten vs with temporall punishementes for the amendement of our liues in this wretched worlde But also in his Iustice maie condemne vs to eternall death and destruction in the kyngdome of darknesse where there is euerlastyng fire prepared for the Deuill and his angelles For whiche cause I can not deny but I must needes confesse that for the moste parte blasyng Starres are a token and signe of greate horror and feare and do prognosticate of some strange wonder and dooe threaten some imminent euill and mischeefe commonly vnto that parte of the yearth towardes the whiche thei seme to cast their beames moste directly And therfore those Philosophers which haue written of the effectes of blasyng starres haue founde by good experience that sometymes thei dooe signifie drouthe and barronnesse of the yearth whiche made Augustinus Niphus to witnesse that after the appearyng of a Comete Anno domini 1506. whiche was about the 22. yere of the raigne of kyng Henry the seuenth there followed within twoo yeres after suche a drought in Lumberdie that from the moneth of Ianuarie vnto Nouember after there fell no Raine at all in that Countrie Sometymes also after the appearyng of blasyng Starres there followeth moste commonly cruell and greate windes and mightie teÌ„pestes with haile stones of suche a bignesse that through the same many houses are throwne doune and often times are coÌ„sumed and burned with fire through the windes As almoste the whole countrie of Scotlande was once wasted by fire the 9. of Ianuarie 1251. a greate Comete of maruelous bignesse hauyng been seen before in Scotlande for many daies Anno 1248. Sometymes thei dooe signifie the death and change of Kynges and Princes and the alteration of kyngdomes coÌ„monwealthes As maie appeare Anno 1116. When Chichester was burnte there was sene a blasing starre the Moone not long tyme after semed to bee turned into blood after the which Maude the Queene of Englande died was buried at Westminster Likewise Anno do 1165. appeared a mightie Comete in Scotlande burnyng out with twoo long beames And within fourtie daies after died Malcolmus the iiij Kyng by name of the Scottes as the Chronicle reporteth Moreouer Anno 1214. in the moneth of Marche twoo Cometes of a maruellous bignesses verie fearfull to behold appeared in Scotlande the one going before and the other followyng the Sonne in the whiche yere that moste happie and good Kyng Willyam died after he had rained fourtie and nine yeres Likewise Anno 1538. appeared a Comet after the settyng of the Sonne which was placed in the signe Pisces and the taile of it lookyng towardes the East and shortly after died the Duke of Saxon. Also Anno 1539. the sixt daie of Maie appeared a Comete whiche endured burnyng three weekes and not long tyme after Isabell the wife of Charles the fift Emperour died in trauaile of childe in whiche yere also died George that duke of Saxonie And in the same yere as some doe write there appeared three Cometes in the moneth of Aprill after the whiche the Duke of Cleaue died and also the Bushop of Trent and diuers other noble personages In the yere of the Lorde 1540 the seuenth daie of Aprill happened a great coniunction of the Planettes and there appeared also a marueilous Eclipse of the SoÌ„ne whose beginnyng was before the Sonne risyng and did endure in the same Eclipse twoo whole howers after it was risen Also there was sene aboute the same tyme a maruelous straunge Comete in the euen after the whiche there followed so greate a drought that Hay Corne and all kinde of Pulse were verie scarce And the same yere the Castell of Prage a noble Citie in the kyngdome of Bohemia with the Cathedrall Churche were burned with fire and many fearfull fires happened in sondedrie places thesame tyme. Moreouer Anno 1547. in Heluecia in Germanie were sene in the aire twoo hostes of men of warre and twoo Lions grÃ©euously and terriblie fightyng together so long that the one semed to bite of the others head quite And the yere followyng the x. daie of Februarie was sene in Saxonie a Countrie also in Germanie a fire froÌ„ heauen that fell vppon certaine Cities and twoo hostes of menne were sene in the aire runnyng and skirmishyng one against an other besides diuers other straunge sightes very wonderfull to beholde And yet in these daies it will not sincke into the heades of many that there maie any suche strange sight appeare in the aire because wee can not render a naturall reason thereof
