and her vehement desire made knowen by lawes aduertisments and proclamations to all nations farre beyonde the reach of all crying discouering hir paine and readines to haue the same deliuered and published to all creatures That God may be glorified effectually Such a woman effecteth this prophesie Text. And the dragon stoode before the woman which was readie to bee deliuered to deuoure hir childe when shee had brought it forth If there be any woman of such worthines wbose holy indeuors in deuine procreation of the child Iesus with hir zeale in true religion aduauncement of his holie word the verie Image of himselfe with readie power and strength for in the assistance comfort and mightie defence of all persons and countries that professe the same which from the first time shee began to bring foorth this childe hath beene mightilie resisted withstoode by the Dragon and his assistances in all notable apparance to destroy this childe namely the worde of God and in the first birth of the professours of the same to pull them vp by the rootes This and such a wowan may seeme and be said to effect this prophecie Text. And shee brought forth a man childe which should rule all Nations with a rodde of yron This man childe is Christ Iesus our Sauiour which by his hypocriticall aduersarie Antichrist hath beene obscured after a manner buried and made vnknowen many hundred yeres from the knowledge of the worldly multitude So as if there be any woman to whom God hath giuen speciall grace not onely to bringe to light but also to defende the sacred worde and glorious Gospel of the childe and Lord Iesus so as in apparance shee hath brought foorth with great care and industry and shal to the no small griefe of hir enemies deliuer the same to the Nations of the earth For this man childe Iesus with his rodde of yron namely by his absolute power shal grinde his enimies to powder and breake them in pieces like a Potters vessel an assured comfort to all faithfull in Christ that their redeemer ruleth with such speciall power to protect them as also to chastise their enemies Such a woman may effectually be said to effect this prophecie Text. And hir sonne was taken vp vnto God and to his throne Not to be doubted but that when the red Dragon described in the said Chapter with his seuen heads tenne hornes and vpon his heade seuen Crownes hath disgorged all his venome with most bloudie crueltie with his seuen heades practised all their subtil deuises in wicked inuentions his ten hornes their force and violence to performe slaughter shedding of bloud his seauen Crowned heades enlarged all their aucthoritie to accomplish these euils aforesaide yet it shall no further preuaile then earthly and sinfull power may preuaile against the mightie and infinite power of God which from heauen doth scorne and deride all their proceedings for so much as he is taken vp vnto God and his power is from aboue And by confusion of this saide bloudie beast God hath determined to glorie in his holy name And as the Virgin Marie iustlie and rightlie reioiced for that by election she before all women naturally did bring forth the Lord and Sauiour of the worlde euen so that woman which aboue all women hath to this daie since the first publication of this prophecie beene adopted by Gods mercie to reuiue his honour and glorie and thereby doth accept to saie to be hir Sonne in hir portion hath iusi cause to saie Magnificat anima mea Deus And to reioice aboue all other women liuing and none like vnto such a woman to effect this prophecie Text. And the woman fled into the wildernes where she hath a place prepared of God that they shoulde feede hir there a thousand two hundreth and three score daies As Christe sundrie times frequented the wildernes to bee deliuered from his enemies as also to commit his temptations to God by contemplatiō and praier so God himselfe as the Text saith hath prepared a place for this woman in the wildernes a solitarie a rare haunt of persons where by appointment she shall flie and nestle hirselfe by hir reposed confidence in the bosome of the highest a place of assured quietnes as also farre in the vtter parts of the world vnder the North Pole where it is said by the mightie multitude of men dwelling on the heart heart of the earth That the inhabitants of that wildernes are grosse wilde and barbarous but it hath pleased the highest that there she shall bee fed and securelie prouided and defended a time fixed and set downe which shall not be remoued by anie power of enemies whatsoeuer so as if there be anie woman that appeareth so placed and securelie defended That same woman in all resemblance most properly seemeth to fulfill this prophecie Text. And when the Dragon sawe that hee was cast into the earth he persecuted the woman which had brought foorth the man childe That is when the Dragon the Diuell saw himselfe and his Angels which is Antichrist his reprobates by the almightie Michael Christ his Angels the godlie Magistrates professors of his Gospell to be cast into the earth that is to saie all his drosse of superstition idolatrie and all his other filthines of religion deciphered made knowne to all persons thonly reprobates excepted into whose earthlie hearts he is cast as it were into the earth for that he is depriued of all habitation in heauenlie mindes so as if there be anie woman that by a receiued grace hath or nowe liueth since the first publishing of this prophesie which with a manifest zeale cost and danger hath trauailed to bringe foorth this man childe Christ Iesus notoriouslie in the sight of the worlde which is to saie confessed published and aduaunced his holie lawes his sacred worde and most glorious Gospel hir onelie beautie and saluation To the great and most discomfortable griefe of Antichrist who forced therewith hath nowe according to the second Psalme of King Dauid Text.

A MARVELL Deciphered ET INVENTA EST PERIIT AT LONDON Printed by Robert Robinson for Iohn VVinnington at the golden Tunne neere to S. Dunstones Church in Fleete-streete 1589. To the Right Honorable my very good Lord Henrie Carey Baron of Hunsdon Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter Lorde Chamberlaine of her Maiesties most Honorable Houshold Lord Gouernour of Barwicke Lord Warden of the East Marches for an anempst Scotland Lord Lieftenant of Suffolke and Norfolke Captaine of her Maiesties Gentlemen Pensioners and one of hir Highnes most Honourable priuie Counsell RIght Honorable where as mention is made in the twelfth Chapter of the Reuelation of saint Iohn of a great wonder in Heauen namely A woman clothed with the Sun hauing the Moone vnder hir feete and vpon hir head a Crowne of twelue Starres c. A wonder of no small maruell amongst men that was saide to bee a wonder in heauen containing some strange misterie wherein the nature of the Sunne is not vnaptly to be considered being a most goodly creature of God and glorious in the ornament of heauen and no lesse beneficiall to all creatures of the earth wherein also wee may beholde not by any preposterous comparison of the creature with the Creator but by naturall coniecture with more effectuall motions in part to discerne the glorious omnipotency and maruelous mercies in the mightie Maiestie of the Creator of all beautie and benefites namely in and by Jesus Christ the true Sonne that lighteneth all the worlde Jn and by whom wee receiue so infinite so great and ineffable blessinges both for body and soule as also in this world and in the world to come vnto whom the naturall Sunne with his good gifts doth yeelde obedience as tributarie for his creation Wherein we are so impotent duely to expresse or discerne the aboundance of his beneuolence that wee are constrained with griefe of minde to complaine of this carnall Carkasse so dull and vnapt to performe the same as a weak and feeble post that falleth al to shiuers vnder the burden of some weightie frame By whose most pure and holie lawe hee hath left vs the more to moue our vnaptnes in some proportion according to our capacities to conceiue of his most mercifull liberalitie in heauen and earth both now euermore Which holy law in generall construction of Christians is truelie said to be the aparel of the church that doth inuest hir selfe with the deuine and immaculate Lawe of Christ the sonne of God And whereby the christian Church is indued with sounde knowledge to know God aright and to liue in concord and amiable affection with all men Which may be saide to be the peace of God which passeth all vnderstanding containing the most perfect harmonie of heauenlie concorde as also yeelding aspiring mindes vnto inexplicable blessinges namely to be deliuered from the terrible and the most cruell and inestimable calamities and bondage of Sathan to bee made a citizen of Heauen of the fellowship of Angels with most singular delight to beholde the glorious Maiesty and presence of God to possesse ioyes vnspeakeable that the eies of man did neuer see or his eares hath euer hearde either may bee contained within the thoughts of his heart By which corporatiō number of the christiā Church the heauens shall be adorned the glory of God most magnificētly magnified The glorious heauenly apparell aforesaid not by outward apparāce vnto the eies of carnall men but by the eies of a deuine mind is to be discerned and in such wise to be considered as that which containeth all in all for so much as it may not be truely said that there is any true felicitie to be obtained by man or to men or true honour vnto God but that in and by this saide lawe is founde out inioyed and performed Which holy lawe so much preuailed within the space of fiue or sixe hundred yeares after Christes incarnation that the whole knowen Nations of the earth imbraced the same vntill Sathan had begotten Antichrist his eldest Sonne who doubting some preuention of his fathers patrimony obtained the true stampe of his fathers phisiognomie which is murder to giue most certain testimonie by what spirit he is gouerned also conseruing vnto himself the very image of his own guilefull father contriuing deceit to beguile the diuell himself if it were possible by a supposed holines religion although counterfeit and most false Neuerthelesse the very cloake and couer of the most infernall drench of deadly poison so shadowed with the vehement spirite of hipocrisie the guilefull enemie to all vertue which the Christian estate both greedily and generally swallowed and deuoured in the darkned daies of the Gospel of Christ Jesus to the cruell ouerthrow of all true Religion with the whole frame of all the ineffable blessings aforesaid And wherewithall by the power of a doubled spirite receiued from Sathan in the Temple of the euerliuing God he both forged and placed a newe vnknowen and a Monstruous god neuer seene or heard of before the comming of Antichrist a presumption neuer contained in the heart or thought of any person whatsoeuer namely to increase and to establish a new God but in the man of sinne the son of perdition which infernal inuention stretcheth it selfe beyond all his other wickednesse leauing nothing vndone that was to bee done either to the blasphemy dishonor of God or execrable crueltie against the whole generation of men respecting either the generality in which number not one escapeth or the horrour and the greatnes of the euill in which hee that escapeth best cheape loseth body and soule Vpon consideration viewe and newes of which cursed new god with scorneful derision All Jewes Turkes Mores Sarazins all Mahomatists and Jndian Idolaters are fled as men hunted with a Monster from their saluation Before the inuention of which wretched god the greatest portion of all these Nations aforesaid confessed Christ to bee their onely saluation and doubtlesse otherwise the whole Nations of the earth had beene submitted vnder the obedience of the gospell of Jesus Christ but nowe by Gods permission when it may iustly be saide that this saide Church of Christ the sonne of God by the malice of Sathan is brought vnto hir last decay and left as desolate but onely in an angle of the world the engin of man being vtterly incapable of all remedie or reliefe for the same Euen then Time reuealer of hidden secrets deliuereth demonstration that God himselfe hath erected the woman mentioned in the twelfth chapter of the Reuelation of saint Iohn that nowe at this instant by Gods great fauour standeth clothed with the Sunne the right and most true vesture of the Church namely the most pure and holy lawe of Christ Iesus the Sonne of God who with a most principall portion of fortitude confirmed with an assured confidence in hir Christ and God as a maine piller erected by deuine prouidence to beare the weightie frame of
