Europes VVonder OR THE TURKS Overthrow Contained in a PROPHECIE Written by that famous Divine PAVL GREBNER TREATING Of those strange Mutations yet expected as the destruction of the Turkish Empire the ruine of the Popish Hierarchy with the Conversion of the Jewes and their restauration to their ancient Inheritance in the Holy Land and of the Universal Reign of the Gospel of Christ upon Earth WITH A great Victory lately obtained against the Turks by His Majesty the King of Great Brittain's Royal Navy under the Command of the Right Honourable the Lord G. Montague The entring of the famous Port of Guienne the taking of the strong Fort of Agria the coming in of the Knights of Malta and Venecians to the assistance of the English Fleet with a brief Narrative of their Bloody Fight and the chief particulars thereof HAGVE Printed by John Brown 1661. Europes Wonder OR THE TURKS Overthrow FOrasmuch as there are many that hath desired a Relveation of things to come i● hath been my best endeavour to searc● the Manuscrips of several Learned Authours whereby it might move us all wit● Repentance to meet God in these grea● mutations and changes He is likely to bring upon us in this Land for our unbelief and unstableness in Religion so that we have great cause to desire of God from the bottom of our hearts to reform us from these Heresies Sects and Schismes which do at this time too much abound amongst us and to suffer the Scripture to be our Rule and the Holy Ghost our Guide both in Faith and Religion And to this end and purpose I have taken the pains to collect several Prophesies of Paul Grebners a laborious Devine an acute Phylosopher and a witty Poet so that in the Library of Trinity Colledge in Cambridge are several excellent Epigrams of his of the Conversion of the Jewes of the destruction of the World by fire of the ruining of Rome and of the last Judgement which Epigrams I finde translated out of Latine into English First Of the burning of the World by fire AS the first World did first by Lust offend whose burning rage to such a heigth did win That God to quench the same a Flood did send Oh Drunkenness the second first Worlds sin The course of Vice that Element must end which is opposed to that which did begin In every thing Gods justice we may spie As Flouds drown Lust flames Drunkenness must die 2. Of the ruine of Rome FLy faithful Christians from the Sea of sin who hate the Whore and the two horned Beast Fly fly in time before their griefs begin least as their pleasure so their plagues you taste When once the Lamb that Victory doth win he of Fat things will make his Flock a feast Who is she sowed so shall she reap those evils O●ce the Worlds-Mistress now a Cage of Devils 3. Of the Conversion of the Jews THe Gospel once being preached in every place to Lands of which our Fathers could not tell And when the Gentiles all are drawn to Grace which in the New Jerusalem should dwell Then shall the stubborn Jewes the Truth embrace from which with such disdain they did rebel Who first the Law last shall the Gospel have Christ whom he first did call shall last receive 4. Of the last Judgement THat threatned time which must the World appaul is that all may amend by Signes fore shown Wars rumour'd are the Gospel preach'd ore all the Jewes convert the Antichrist is known Devils rage Vice reigns Zeal cools Faith fails Stars fall all sorts of Plagues hath the last Trumpet blown And by prodigious Signes it may plain appear That of the Son of Man the time drawes near Thus by this great Divine living in the mistiest time of Popery it may plainly appear that it was a received Opinion That the total destruction of Rome and the conversion of the Jewes should conclude the end of the World There was also another Prophesie of the Times found in writing in the Church of St. Dennis in France by the Sexton of that Parish as he was digging in a place to erect a Monument or Fabrick for the Lord Teligni He gave it unto the Popes Nuncio who rewarded him with 200 Dollers for his pains From him it was sent to the Cardinal of Bruges who presented it unto the young King Lewis the 13. It was written in Parchment and wrapt in Lead in the form of an Heart Numerical Figures are placed on the side signifying in what year of our Lord every Accident should come to pass Anno Christi The Prophesie runs thus 1661. The heat of War doth Italy surround 1665. Let Christs pasture be one his sheep and ground 1666. Gods wrath and terrour doth the world confound 1667. But few that God doe reverence 1678. A Prince shall rise of eminence 1686. Asia doth tremble Europe shake 1693. Now is a general Earthquake 1699. All Nations Gods knowledg partake 1700. Rivers are dried every where 1710. Pastors and Church only are By this Prophesie great Troubles must arise in Italy within this small time cruel Wars afflicting every State thereof which must be preparations to the utter destruction of the chief City of Rome But Rome it self can never be destroyed unless Protestants lay aside their unnecessary civil Contentions which may come to them against their wills in the year 1665. After which great commotions are like to arise in Europe until a Noble Christian Hero of Royal Blood arise who shall quench those evils by imploying Christians in Martial exercises against the Turk And about this time Two hundred thousand Turks are in the Field with an intent to invade Germany they have already some part of Hungaria in possession of which you shall hear more largely hereafter Now there hath been and is yet continual contentions and massacres amongst the Turks the Jannizaries eluding and despising the young and weak Emperour which terrified the Mustiva and the Bassas sore because they had this Prophesie That as a Mahomet did win Constantinople so a Mahomet should lose it again to the Christians However things go for the present yet in the year 1658 will be fatal both unto the Turk and the Pope utter ruines and the beginning of the comparative felicity of the Church of God as may be further manifested by another Authentique Prophesie which was found in the Study of Justus Lipsius wherein was thus written Six thousand years from Virgins birth expired six hundred after that acquired The famous Ninety eight year shall come on full of great contention This year the Turkish hateful Race shall rue Rome shall a Fable prove not true Then shall be tost all Kingdomes of the World and into a new Kingdome hurld That into all Coasts Christ his Word may spread and be alone the Peoples Head In order to a beginning of this great work we hear that there is now lately a great defeat given to the Turks by His Majesties Navy the manner whereof was thus As the Lord General Montague was sailing with a considerable Fleet on those Seas he was by a sudden and violent storm driven to Harbour By that time he had remained there the space of an hour the storm ceased and knowing where he was immediately endeavoured to find entrance into the Port of Guienne in which place lay a great number of Turkish Galleys who very resolutely resisted him But after a tedious and cruel conflict between both parties and a great number of Turks slain General Montague took the afore-said Port with the loss of two Ships of which most of the Men were saved having sunk and fired of the enemy to the number of 80 Galleys and hath since taken Agria a strong hold in Hungaria to the strengthning and maintenance of which divers of the Knights of Malta are come to assist the English with whom are joyned great Armies of Greecians Venecians and Hungarians Time will soon manifest their proceedings The consideration of this may teach Men Humility in Prosperity carefulness to know God and keep his Commandements seeing every Plant he hath planted shall be pluckt up and nothing can be permanent but by his favour and protection FINIS
