the_o late_a eclipse_n unclasp_v or_o the_o mistake_a stargazer_n unmask_v wherein_o be_v manifest_v seven_o seve_v rall_a reason_n whereby_o these_o astroleger_n have_v deceive_v the_o people_n by_o a_o learned_a divine_a near_o london_n o_o b●other_n stargazer_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v isa_n 47._o 13_o 14._o let_v now_o the_o astrologer_n stargazer_n and_o monthly_a prognosticator_n stand_v

see_v what_o stargazer_n be_v for_o they_o have_v foretold_v a_o lye_n 1652._o text_n mark_v 13._o 24_o but_o in_o those_o day_n after_o that_o tribulation_n the_o sun_n shall_v be_v darken_v and_o the_o moon_n shall_v not_o give_v her_o light_n the_o foregoing_a verse_n show_v the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n from_o whence_o christ_n make_v a_o transsition_n of_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o world_n the_o connexion_n of_o the_o sun_n eclipse_n with_o the_o word_n in_o those_o day_n after_o the_o tribulation_n do_v make_v all_o time_n to_o present_v with_o god_n because_o time_n be_v not_o fluent_a to_o god_n but_o always_o fix_v and_o because_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o wait_v for_o the_o last_o day_n every_o day_n concern_v the_o sun_n darkness_n some_o expositor_n expound_v it_o mystical_o and_o some_o allegorical_o as_o ezek._n 32._o chap._n be_v a_o elegant_a expression_n of_o pharoahs_n destruction_n so_o by_o a_o eclipse_n they_o will_v understand_v the_o miserable_a event_n in_o the_o world_n either_o by_o great_a perplexity_n on_o man_n mind_n or_o a_o darken_n of_o the_o truth_n by_o error_n and_o heresy_n but_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n in_o divinity_n where_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o a_o figurative_a construction_n there_o the_o literal_a sense_n may_v stand_v and_o therefore_o the_o word_n as_o the_o text_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v littelal_o yet_o a_o mystical_a sense_n be_v not_o quite_o exclude_v but_o from_o a_o accurate_a consideration_n of_o the_o visible_a sign_n which_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o moon_n it_o can_v be_v figurative_o apply_v to_o a_o general_a apostasy_n from_o the_o true_a faith_n or_o a_o perplexity_n on_o man_n mind_n because_o christ_n do_v distinguish_v between_o tribulation_n of_o time_n and_o the_o time_n of_o perplexity_n on_o man_n mind_n luke_n 21._o 24._o the_o best_a interpreter_n though_o they_o understand_v these_o word_n literal_o yet_o deny_v not_o but_o by_o god_n ordination_n they_o may_v have_v a_o metaphysical_a interpretation_n as_o the_o rainbow_n though_o it_o proceed_v from_o a_o natural_a cause_n yet_o god_n design_v it_o to_o a_o spiritual_a use_n viz._n to_o signify_v the_o covenant_n between_o god_n and_o all_o flesh_n gen._n 9_o so_o that_o the_o concurrence_n of_o divine_a providence_n be_v not_o see_v nor_o consider_v in_o the_o world_n because_o astronomer_n may_v foresee_v eclipse_n from_o natural_a cause_n both_o by_o rule_n of_o art_n and_o also_o because_o they_o have_v be_v from_o the_o creation_n the_o eclipse_n at_o christ_n death_n be_v praeturnaturall_a in_o two_o respect_n first_o because_o the_o moon_n be_v then_o at_o the_o full_a than_o the_o passeover_n be_v keep_v on_o the_o fourteen_o day_n of_o the_o month_n and_o therefore_o the_o moon_n be_v at_o the_o far_a distance_n from_o the_o sun_n and_o second_o because_o that_o eclipse_n continue_v for_o three_o hour_n without_o increase_n or_o decrease_v of_o darkness_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o other_o eclipse_n lucian_n a_o martyr_n make_v the_o say_a eclipse_n a_o argument_n to_o convince_v the_o heathen_a of_o their_o infidelity_n and_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o repentance_n at_o the_o death_n of_o charles_n the_o great_a in_o the_o year_n 814._o be_v a_o most_o horrid_a eclipse_n by_o reason_n of_o a_o fuliginous_a matter_n arise_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n and_o in_o anno_fw-la 1575._o there_o appear_v a_o new_a star_n which_o astronomer_n never_o know_v before_o therefore_o towards_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n god_n can_v show_v prodigious_a sgne_n as_o forerunner_n of_o his_o come_n to_o judgement_n and_o the_o terrify_n of_o man_n mind_n at_o this_o time_n which_o be_v not_o usual_a in_o other_o eclipse_n confirm_v this_o eclipse_n to_o be_v prodigious_a when_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o body_n grow_v dim_a it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o death_n approach_v as_o in_o ecclesi_n 12._o so_o when_o the_o eye_n of_o of_o the_o world_n the_o sun_n grow_v dark_a it_o be_v a_o sign_n the_o world_n be_v near_a confusion_n let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o ordinary_a thing_n in_o nature_n have_v no_o extraordinary_a signification_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n for_o god_n speak_v somewhat_o to_o the_o world_n from_o natural_a body_n as_o micah_n 6.9_o the_o lord_n voice_n cry_v to_o tae_n city_n etc._n etc._n hear_v you_o the_o rod_n etc._n etc._n i_o conceive_v that_o ordinary_a eclipse_n be_v by_o christ_n ordain_v to_o foretell_v his_o come_n to_o judgement_n for_o the_o sign_n praedict_v the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n be_v natural_a and_o why_o may_v not_o christ_n deal_v so_o with_o the_o world_n now_o christ_n do_v not_o call_v they_o prodigious_a but_o only_a sign_n which_o have_v a_o rise_v out_o of_o nature_n and_o be_v not_o hyperphysicall_a and_o christ_n say_v not_o that_o any_o one_o of_o these_o sign_n single_o consider_v be_v sign_n of_o his_o come_n but_o all_o these_o joint_o together_o so_o that_o eclipse_n and_o roar_v of_o the_o sea_n conjunctive_o consider_v do_v foretell_v christ_n come_v observation_n be_v there_o any_o aptness_n in_o the_o eclipse_n of_o the_o sun_n to_o foretell_v christ_n come_v to_o judgement_n i_o answer_v god_n cloud_v of_o light_n seem_v contrary_a to_o his_o own_o institution_n so_o that_o a_o eclipse_n may_v seem_v proeternaturall_a therefore_o in_o eclipse_n the_o heathen_n use_v to_o heat_n basin_n and_o kettle_n and_o to_o make_v a_o great_a noise_n to_o aw●ken_v the_o sun_n when_o it_o be_v eclipse_v and_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o alteration_n whi●●_n may_v fall_v out_o among_o man_n this_o eclipse_n be_v very_o fearful_a for_o in_o anno._n 1645._o follow_v the_o sweat_a sickness_n here_o in_o england_n whereof_o many_o thousand_o die_v and_o prrsent_o after_o that_o the_o disease_n call_v the_o scurvy_a so_o that_o which_o have_v a_o aptness_n to_o cause_v great_a change_n may_v prognosticate_v doomsday_n second_o a_o eclipse_n may_v singnifie_v the_o future_a condition_n of_o wicked_a man_n to_o be_v cast_v into_o utter_a darkness_n and_o separate_v forever_o from_o the_o true_a light_n god_n quest_n but_o what_o shall_v we_o think_v of_o this_o present_a eclipse_n answer_v we_o be_v not_o to_o neglect_v the_o influence_n of_o it_o because_o it_o be_v a_o great_a work_n of_o god_n and_o very_o visible_a to_o our_o eye_n now_o god_n speak_v of_o his_o own_o great_a work_n psalm_n 111._o 19_o he_o have_v make_v a_o tabernacle_n for_o the_o sun_n and_o god_n accont_v that_o man_n a_o fool_n that_o will_v not_o heed_n bis_fw-la work_v psalm_n 92._o 2._o and_o in_o isa_n 5._o 12._o god_n speak_v against_o such_o as_o drink_v away_o their_o fear_n and_o make_v merry_a but_o regard_v not_o the_o work_n of_o his_o hand_n now_o god_n set_v this_o sign_n over_o our_o head_n and_o make_v the_o sun_n to_o be_v a_o more_o proper_a significator_n to_o england_n than_o any_o other_o part_n of_o europe_n therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v special_a notice_n of_o god_n act_n in_o this_o matter_n since_o our_o father_n never_o know_v the_o like_a for_o whereas_o the_o sun_n be_v divide_v into_o twelve_o part_n to_o morrow_n there_o will_v be_v but_o half_a a_o part_n of_o the_o twelve_o visible_a to_o our_o sight_n again_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o conjuncture_n of_o time_n it_o be_v now_o a_o time_n of_o change_n danger_n and_o trouble_v at_o home_n and_o abroad_o and_o also_o a_o time_n of_o most_o grievous_a sin_n as_o blasphemy_n perjury_n libertisme_n oppression_n pride_n sensuality_n error_n and_o heresy_n these_o may_v make_v we_o to_o shake_v at_o the_o shake_n of_o a_o leaf_n much_o more_o when_o god_n shake_v his_o rod_n over_o a_o nation_n in_o philosophy_n those_o thing_n may_v be_v profitable_a in_o the_o general_n which_o be_v not_o in_o the_o particular_a as_o frosty_a weather_n be_v good_a for_o the_o earth_n but_o it_o be_v pinch_v to_o man_n but_o i_o never_o read_v of_o any_o good_a effect_n that_o follow_v a_o eclipse_n but_o as_o the_o jew_n be_v enjoin_v to_o make_v battlement_n in_o build_v their_o
