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
