Strange and Remarkable Predictions of that Holy Learned and excellent Bishop James Usher late Lord Primate of Ireland THe Author of the Life of this Excellent and Worthy Primate and Arch Bishop gives an Account that among other extraordinary gifts and graces which it pleased the Almighty to bestow upon him he was wonderfully endued with a Spirit of Prophecy whereby he gave out several true Predictions and prophesies of things a great while before they came to pass whereof some we have seen fulfilled and others remain yet to be accomplished And though he was one that abhor'd Enthusiastick Notions being too Learned Rational and knowing to admit of such idle Freaks and Whimsies Yet he prosest That several times in his life he had many things imprest upon his mind concerning future Events with so much warmness and importunity that he was not able to keep them secret but lay under an unavoidable necessity to make them known From which Spirit he foretold the Irish Rebellion Forty years before it came to pass with the very time when it should break forth in a Sermon Preached in Dablin in 1601 where from Ezek. 4.6 discoursing concerning the Prophets bearing the Iniquity of Judah forty dayes the Lord therein appointed a day for a year he made this direct Application in Relation to the connivance at Popery at that time From this year sayes he will I reckon the sin of Ireland that those whom you now imbrace shall be your Ruin and you shall bear this Iniquity Which prediction proved exactly true for from that time 1601 to the year 1641 was just Forty years in which it is notoriovsly known that the Rebellion and Destruction of Ireland happened which was acted by those Popish Priests and other Papists which were then connived at And of this Sermon the Bishop reserved the Notes and put a note thereof in the Margent of his Bible and for 20 years before he still lived in the expectation of the fulfilling thereof the nearer the time was the more confident he was that it was near accomplishment though there was no visible appearance of any such thing and sayes Dr. Barnard the year before the Rebellion broke forth the Bishop taking his leave of me being then going from Ireland to England he advised me to a serious Preparation for I should see heavy sorrows and miseries before I saw him again which he delivered with as great confidence as if he had seen it with his eyes which seems to verify that of the Prophet Amos 3.7 Surely the Lord will do nothing but he will reveal it to his Servants the Prophets From this Spirit of Prophesie be foresaw the Changes and Miseries of England in Church and State for having in one of his Books called De Prim. Eccl. Brit. given a large account of the destruction of the Church and State of the Brittaines by the Saxons about 550 years after Christ He gives this among other Reasons why he insisted so largely upon it that he foresaw that a like Judgement was yet behind if timely Repentance and Reformation did not prevent it and he would often Mourn upon the foresight of this long before it came From this Spirit he gave mournful intimations of the Death of our late Soveraign Charles the first of whom he would be often speaking with fear and trembling even when the King had the greatest success and would therefore constantly pray and gave all advice possible to prevent any such thing From this Spirit he foresaw his own Poverty in worldly things and this he would often speak of with admiration to the hearors when he was in his greatest Prosperity which the event did must certainly verifie From this Spirit he Predicted the Devisions and Confusions in England in matters of Religion and the sad consequents thereof some of which we have seen fulfill'd I play God the rest which he feared may not also be accomplished upon us Lastly from this Spirit he foretold That the greatest stroake upon the Reformed Churches was yet to come and that the time of the utter Ruine of the See of Rome should be when she thought her self most secure and as to this last I shall add a brief acount from the Persons own hand who was concerned therein which followeth in these words The year before this Learned and holy Primate And Bishop Vsher died I went to him and earnestly desired him to give me in Writing his apprehensions concerning Justification and Sanctifi cation by Christ because I had formerly heard him Preach upon those Points wherein he seemed to make those great Misteries more intelligible to my mean capacity then any thing which I had ever heard from any other but because I had but an imperfect and confused Remembrance of the particulars I tooke the boldness to importune him that he would please to give a brief account of them in Writing whereby I might the better imprint them in my Memory of which he would willingly excused himself by declaring his intentions of not writing any more adding that if he did write any thing it should not exceed above a sheet or two but upon my continued importunity I at last obtained his promise He coming to Town some time after was pleased to give me a visit at my own House where I failed not to challenge the benefit of the promise he had made me He replyed That he had not writ and yet he could not charge himself with any breach of Promise For said he I did begin to write but when I came to write of Sanctification that is of the New Creature which God formeth by his Spirit in every Soul which he doth truly Regenerate I found so little of it wrought in myself that I could speak of it only as Parrots by Rote and without the knowledge and understanding of what I might have exprest and therefore I durst not presume to proceed any further upon it And when I seemed to stand amazed to hear such an humble Confession from so great and experienced a Christian He
