House of Charles and it seemed to me a glorious day and about two in the Afternoon on a sudden my Brother was gone This he interprets to be Christ's departing and absenting himself for a season I know not how nor where and as I lifted up my Eyes the Sun by degrees became dark so that the Stars appeared about it By appearance of Sun and Stars in darkness he understands the destruction of the King and Nobles Pag. 73. At which darkness the Sheep did cry and run to seek shelter as they use to do in those parts when a Darkness comes before a Storm in the holes of the Rocks Pag. 74. He calls it Graig wen i. the White Rock because its Stones are white And the foot of it Gale ronnw i. they will give Light and saith that over this was the Sun when it became dark upon it these Sheep he interprets to be God's People that adhered to God and the King And all the Light of Heaven was taken away that it became so dark as Pitch then appeared by a Mad-man's House that lived there when I was a Boy a great Bon-fire and People making Merry about it This Mad-mans House was under y Graig goch i. the Red Rock on the South side of Sunny-Day River the Stones thereof are red like Blood he interprets it to stand for the South part of England Pag. 74. And them at the Mad-mans House that made themselves a Bon-fire to signifie an adverse Power set up without God's Approbation Standing directly opposite on the contrary side of the Sunny-Day River to Bringrugog the dry Hill whence Relief came to restore the King i. Scotland as he shews afterwards But as I still waited and looked for some Light above I espied a little white Cloud breaking forth in the North-east This North-east Hill from whence this glorious Appearance came was Kadder û du ruse i. Arise the House of Charles the highest Hill in Britain and as he supposes in all the World in which Hill is the ever-running Bishops Well whence the Sunny-Day River hath its head source Pag. 73. After that the Skie appeared and on it the King's Arms as it is upon Blew in some Churches and it rid upon the Heavens very terribly towards the South-west The appearance from the North-east did signify the King 's Rising again and coming upon his Enemies from that Coast Pag. 73. Now the South-west against which the King's Arms rode upon the Heavens so terribly he interpreteth Pag. 74 to be the Red Rock on the South side of the River aforesaid where the Bon-fire was kindled and North but more Westward Moil-dunkyra i. Baal kindle Fire and stands for Ireland And as the Light appeared abundance of Water sprung out of a dry Hill Northward Pag. 74. He interprets this dry Hill from whence he saw the Springs of Water gush out on the North side of the River Sunny-Day and opposite to the Southern Red Rock and House of the Mad-man and Bon-sire with them that rejoyced at the destruction of the King and Nobles by the name of Bringrugog i. Gogs strong Hill to be Scotland for Gog saith he is the chief Prince of the Gentiles quoting Gen. 10.2 3 4 5. Ezek. 38.2 3 6. 2 Esdras 13.5 6 7. § 87. This Vision seen in Aug. 1635. when he was a Prisoner for his Testimony of God's Justice upon these Kingdoms for their Sins so long before the Irish kindled the Fire or the Scots or South of England combined against the King and when there was no appearance by any humane Sagacity that the Gold Streamers as they were called under General Monk from Scotland should encrease to such strength mingling with the Sunny-Day River from Bishops Well i. the Royal Party as to build what they had overthrown deserves in my apprehension not only to be received as a Voice from Heaven by what Spirit or Instrument soever ministred or uttered but is to me a Pledg and Earnest that what hath been acted here in Great Britain the little World will in God's time and probably very shortly be acted over again and perfectly fulfilled on the Stage of Christendom first and consequently in the Universal World and that the Monarchs of Great Britain shall be as remarkable in that grand as in this lesser Revolution This brief account I am contented to give the Reader of this Vision here that I might not too much trespass upon his Patience I purpose in the following Discourse to set down this Vision in the Author's words and the Exposition thereof at large and my Thoughts of it and a Comparison of it with the other most remarkable Prophecies here above collected who have the same Notions of the North South and West as Evans § 88. Another Vision which he saw in the Gate-House whilst he was God's Witness and Prisoner there An. 1637. being the third in number he sets down Pag. 76. in these words It seemed to me that I was in a very little white Chamber alone and as I looked about me the Chamber grew bigger and bigger until at last it became a great Garden that contained all the World and I could see no end of it c. Pag. 77. He interprets this Vision thus Now the little Chamber and the growth of it signifies the Kingdom of Christ growing from hence until it contain the World From hence i. Great Britain His meaning is more plainly set out by him Pag. 50 51. where reproving England then a State for its Sins he hath these Passages Their Valour speaking of the Army being found so that no Sword could overcome them until the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God Ephes 6.17 came against them to which Sword they suddenly and willingly submit And I see by the Word of God as I have manifestly proved that we of this State are the greatest Sinners that ever were But where Sin aboundeth Grace aboundeth much more Rom. 5.20 21. That as Sin hath abounded unto Death Enmity and Division amongst us so now the Grace of Repentance in this state and submission unto the Lord 's Anointed understand him first to Christ and to the King for Christ's sake might bring us to Love and Union and to act in Righteousness unto Eternal Life by the Power of God and our Lord Jesus Christ in us And whereas it is said of this State Dan. viii 23. That it shall be broken without hands 2 Thess ii 8. And the Lord shall consume it with the Spirit of his Mouth Understand him of what ever is Antichristian in it It is only to shew as like sayings Isa xi 4. Dan. xi 45. what mercy and grace of Repentance this State shall have offered to them but Mercy being refused Judgment followeth to avenge the injury done to Mercy in refusing it and Mercy rejoyceth against Judgment Jam. ii 13. It follows And ye Pope Turk and Spaniards that keep out the Word of God lest it should discover your Sins know for a truth

Most High and Mighty Prince IT hath been the Wisdom of the most Couragious Powerful and Happy Kings to make use of Oracles and Prophecies to the advancement of their most glorious Designs These sometimes afforded them good Directions and always gave their Followers considerable Encouragements The Examples of all Histories Sacred and Prophane and of our Adversaries commend this Practice to our Imitation wherein we are incouraged by many great Advantages which we have over them The sacred Oracles are all for us that our Divines have demonstrated beyond all Contradiction Esdras whom some have recommended as Canonical Savanarola whom our Authors extol to the degree of Martyrdom and the Roman wise Historian and learned Philosophers advance to the eminence of a Saint and Prophet Tycho Brahe Grebner Baudensis and other reputed Astrologers with whom our Modern Foreign as well as Domestick Visions and Prophecies consent do all with one Voice promise admirable Success to that Northern Prince who Heads the Protestant League and Protects their Liberties That Star from Casiopaea's glorious Chair which gave light to all the World A.

Hactenus Prophetia I will here saith he by the way in favour of my Reader transcribe a Prophecy from a very ancient Manuscript found in the House of the Provest of Salez lately sent unto me To which every Man may give what Credit he pleases certainly it is not much discrepant from this present Oracle as to what concerns the destruction of Rome It runs thus A King shall arise out of the Nation of the most illustrious Son Lilly having a long Fore-head lofty Eye-brows long Eyes an Hawk Nose He shall draw together a great Army and shall destroy all the Tyrants of his Kingdom And shall slay all those that shall fly from his Face and hide themselves in Mountains and Caves For he shall be Married unto Justice as the Bridegroom to the Bride He shall continue War against them for 40 Years subduing the Islanders Spaniards and Italians He shall destroy and burn with Fire Rome and Florence and Salt may be sown upon that Land He shall put to death the highest Prelates of the Clergy who have usurped Peter's Seat the same Year he shall obtain a double Crown Lastly He shall cross the Sea and enter into Greece with a mighty Army and shall be called the King of the Greeks He shall subdue the Turks and Barbarians and put out an Edict that whosoever will not worship him who was Crucified shall die the Death And none shall be able to resist him because an holy Arm from the Lord shall always be with him And he shall possess the Dominion of the whole World After he hath atchieved these things he shall be called the Repose of holy Christians c. So this Prophecy § 115. I suppose the word Filii is mistaken for Lilii both from the Sence and from the Context the Nation of the most Illustrious Son unless you would understand it of the Son of God and so of the Jews I know not how to interpret That the Author meant some King of France or one that is allied to and bears the French Lillies is manifest because the Kingdoms he devotes to destruction are the known Enemies of France and to whose Conquest he seems most propense and adapted And by the Islands I understand those of the Mediterranean with which it is most probable he may begin to facilitate his Conquest of Italy after Spain which he hath in his Power already Here is no mention of the German Empire as if that were already Extinct or the Princes of it at his Devotion The English seem to be of his Confederacy being not named amongst his Conquests and too considerable especially in their Naval Force and proper to assist him to be wholly forgotten unless united with him Thus far the Analogy holds well with our expected Northern Monarchy but his forcing the Christian Religion on the Barbarians by the terrours of present Death is not agreeable to that Kingdom of Christ whose Scepter is Love and which must certainly swallow up all other Powers Nor must I dissemble that this Conquerour's War of 40 Years is not consistent with the ruine of Turk and Pope in the Year 1698 unless the late and former German Wars must be reckoned into our French Conquest and he only be here described who must put the last blow to the Work § 116. The most Critical Trial by which the Spirits of our Modern Prophets and Enthusiasts are best discerned are the limitations of the Times assigned by them for fulfilling their Prophecies in which I find Cotter as the rest staggering and clashing For instance in his Vision of May 10. 1621. Frederick he means the Protestants of Germany whose Head Frederick Count Palatine sometime was shall recover by Aid from the North a great Army From the East he means Turks Transilvanians c. 6001111 shall come The first second or third 49 or Jubilee that is either in the Year 1670 1719 or 1768 if we must accompt from the date of his Vision § 117. Fredericus recuperabit per auxilium a Septentrione Magnum exercitum Ab Oriente venient 6001111. 1º 49. 2º 49. vel 3º 49. The first of these terms is expired neither of the two latter accord with the Prediction fixed on 1688 nor the Heart Prophecy Times and Seasons are certainly limited only by the Divine Power to particular Persons and their smallest as well as to Kingdoms and their greatest Actions It 's little better than Atheism to pretend to open that Cabinet by any Picklock of Geomancy Astrology or the like curious and vain Art I know who said once that one of seven Nativities were not true and a more learned Artist than he much more positively affirmed that one of a hundred horary Questions were not of any certain signification unless some unseen Power brought and wrought the Agents and Patients well chosen and fitted which they call Radical Questions Perhaps some will offer me to try before I censure which is to me the same kindness as to direct me try at the Delphick Oracle whether God will suffer the Devil first to curse me and then to execute his Curse upon me by Persons as Godless as they who believe not his Providence nor just Judgment who gives them strong Infatuations who believe not the Truth to trust in Lies CHAP. XIII § 119. NOtwithstanding all that can be said I expect not to persuade our Adversaries to desist from their Treasonable Designs against our King Kingdom Religion and Laws involving our Liberties And as they hope for a Day so I must not deny but that our most favourable Writers do allow them an Hour and therein a power of Darkning or Eclipsing our Sun by the interposition of their Lunary opacous Body To this therefore I shall speak a few words before I dismiss my Reader § 120.
