hath made the starres and the course of them to be as it were clocks of his eternall counsel and gouernmentes of such thinges in his Church cōmon weales euen as the Lord God also doth witnesse himselfe that those lightes in the firmament of heauen shoulde be fore signs of times and dayes yeeres And therefore from these thinges doe cunning Astronomers fetch their coniectures because through a certaine order which the starres doe keepe they haue by long vse obserued very many things that so from a true obseruation of principles they maye bring forth general coniectures whose euents do meruailously agree together And that ther is a certain order or a true course of the stars that wōderful agreeing together of yeres cōtinually in alteration of kingdōs religion which hath bin marked is a great proofe as by that which is alredy spoken may hereafter shal more plainely appeare Truly as often as I consider these thinges I am not onely exceedingly troubled in minde but as it were cōpelled to beleeue that that especial tyme of the end of this world is nigh at hād because the Lord among other things also hath giuen vs certaine tokens to wit that afore his comming there shal be a darkening of the sunne and moone that the qualities of the heauēs shal be troubled By which words no doubt he woulde signifie that the whole sirmament of Starres should be altered and as it were threaten a destruction We haue a notable example hereof in Noes preaching by whome the Lorde GOD did first accuse the world of disobedience before hee drowned the same for lacke of repentance wherefore let vs caste from vs both our carelesse securitie and mistruste of the promyses of GOD let vs renounce the diuell and the workes of the fleshe which are not sufferable by the word of god and let vs listen to the frendly admonition of our Sauiour Christ warning vs in these wordes Take heed least at any time your minds be Luk. 21. ouer laden with surfeting and drunkennes and cares of this life and so the sodaine day of the Lorde take you vnwares for euen as a snare it shall come vpon all which sit vpon the face of the earth be yee watchfull therfore at all times And as Matthew addeth Because ye know not the houre in whiche Mat. 25. your Lorde will come praying that yee may escape all these thinges which are to come may stand before the sonne of man O God and most mercifull father illuminate our mindes with thy holy spirite by which wee may bee prepared to all good workes in the holinesse and newnesse of life that so with Paule wee may desire to leaue this worlde and to be with Christ and so in the comming of the Lorde being found readie with oyle in our lampes and adorned with our wedding garmentes wee may finde entrance to the Lordes mariage which thou for thy sonne and his beloued spouse the Church hast prepared and appointed from the beginning of the worlde To thee therfore O heauenly father to the only begotten sonne and to the holy ghoste our comforter be all prayse honour glory for euer and euer Amen Whereas before I haue declared of manie reasons and probable coniectures from the course of times nowe I will proceede by the Art of Astronomie to shewe and set foorth in what maner and forme the faces of the heauens are at the time of these greate coniunctions of the Planets which shall happen in the ende of waterie Trigone in Anno Domini 1582. in the moneth of Februarie the 12. day about the houre of 7. of the clocke in the morning the Moone then readie to change in the second degree and 40. minutes in Pisces in coniunction with all the Planets as by a figure heereafter calculated to the learned and skilfull in this Art may appeare The like coniunctions haue neuer bin seene in these our dayes nor yet in many yeeres before for this great coniunction is of all the laste which shall happen in the ende of waterie Trigon and waterie Trigon shall haue an ende And about the eight day of April in Anno 1584. a little before that the Sun entreth into Taurus then turned into firie Trigon neither any more in the space of eight hundred yeeres the ende of waterie Trigon shal be nigh Heere followeth the figure expressing the same lights of the coniunctions of the Planets in ♓ Anno.

A prayer for true repentance and for the comming of the kingdome of Christ O Lord and our God Iesus Christ the Scripture testifieth of thee that when thou wast in the worlde thou diddest preach repentance and the comming of the kingdome of heauen and after thou wast risen againe thou saydest that it behoued thee so to suffer on the third day to rise againe from the dead and that both repentance remission of sins shoulde be preached to euery creature in thy name and that whosoeuer beleeued and were baptised should be saued Againe then full louingly diddest bid them that labour and are laden to com vnto thee promisedst that thou wouldest vnlade and refresh them verily it is no small company of wicked spirites cleaueth which are also as roaring Liōs earnest accusers of the sonnes of god yea and such enemies of God of thē that appertaine vnto him as by no meanes neyther will nor may be reconciled Therefore wee and all of vs which thorowe thy grace are bounde and giuen ouer to serue God Most humbly beseeche thee O holy spirite that thou wilt defend vs against all the wicked temptations pernicious breathings of this most wicked spirite that all vice excluded all vertue and godlinesse may spring grow and increase in vs vntill wee be made perfect and auncient in Christ Iesu our Lorde and his holy lawe Take a-away infidelitie and ingraft in our breastes a true and vnfained faith take away pride wrath enuy debate whoredome gluttonie drunkennesse couetousnes errour hypocrisie with all kinde of vngodlines and priute in our heartes humilitie loue chastitie and concord purity of life temperance sobriety mercy liberalitie towards the poore truth pure holynes with all kind of vertue take away from vs all that euer is of Satan the flesh and the worlde and giue vs that which only commeth from thee O heauēly father and from thy only begotten sonne from the holy spirit Teach vs all truth enarme vs with the shield of true faith that we may so watche and shew such diligence that wee may perceiue his craftie assaultes and dangers vnto the end that wee liue not hereaf-in the flesh but rather that we abhorre al filthinesse and impuritie thereof and that wee beeing brought into thy kingdome thorow thy precious blood may obtaine dayly more and more perfect remission of our sinnes So be it Imp●●nted at London by Thomas Dawson at the three Cranes in the Viniree at the assignement of R.
