T O Caleb Shillocks Prophesies, Who list to lend an eare, Of griefe, and great calamitie, A sad Discourse shall heare: Of Plagues (for sinne) shall soone ensew Prognosticated by this Jew: O Lord, Lord in thy mercy, Hold thy heavy hand. And first, within this present yeere, Beeing Sixteene hundreth seav'n: The Prince of Planets shall appeare, Like flaming Fire in heav'n, Like flaming Fire his radiant rayes To all shall seeme (old Shillock sayes.) O Lord, Lord in thy mercie, Hold thy heavie hand. No mortall man shall able bee, (As he affirmes) to looke Upon this fearefull Progedie, This sinners bloody Booke: this booke, by which he soone may know the cause of all our griefe and woe. O Lord, Lord in thy mercie, etc. For he that dares to gaze upon The Sunne, so dreadfull-bright, Shall never after gaze upon An object sad, or light: But suddainly be striken blind, As leaves are shaken with the wind. O Lord, Lord in thy mercie, etc. And next to this, old Shillock sayes, The waters shall arise, And set a period to the dayes Of many fond, and wise: And all that know't by eye, or eare, shal stand (almost) distraught with feare. O Lord, Lord in thy mercie, etc. And after this hath playde his part, In Calebs Scrowle I finde, Another woe to wound the heart, And terrifie the minde: The winds (he sayes) shall strangly blow And strong-built Houses overthrow. O Lard, Lord in thy mercie, etc. With greater Waters after this, The Earth shall plagued bee, So sore our God incensed is, By our impietie: So sore a Flood since godly Noe , As is to come, neare man did know, O Lord Lord in thy mercie, etc.
Three dayes this Flood the Land shal hide This learned Caleb writes, Within her watry mantle, wide: And just as many nights. O then imagine you the rest, the sodaine death of man and beast, O Lord, Lord in thy mercie, hold thy heavie hand. For to imagine the event, (With searching care and heed) Of such a wofull accident, Would make the heart to bleed: For under such a wofull worke, full many wofull sights do lurke. O Lord, Lord in thy mercie, etc. Of Heretickes and Infidels, A multitude shall flocke Together, (learned Shillocke telles) With hope, like strongest Rocke, to stand and fight against all those, that power, against their power oppose. O Lard, Lord in thy mercie, etc. Next, Deaths-Ambassadour shall come, To act his fatall part, To summon to receive a doome, According to desart: But, to desart, O gracious Lord, Let not thy Judgement then accord. O Lord, Lord in etc. Whole Families at once, shall lie Sore sicke upon their beddes: From house to house shall Sicknesse flie, When his infection spreddes: when he has paind them, mauger death, shall step, to stop their vitall breath. O Lord, Lord in. etc. Through all the world, Great trouble, next (He sayth) there shall be seene, As strife about the Holy text, The meaning altering cleene. About Religion strife shall rise: Enlighten Lord, our heartes and eyes. O Lord, Lord in thy mercie, etc. The Turke lyes next in dangers way, [?] (His Divell rather, I should say) to loose his Regall rod: For in his Land a civill strife shall many men bereave of life O Lord, Lord in thy mercie, hold thy heavie hand.
From Civill warres, shall Famine rise, And all that Land oppresse: In Mahomet no comfort lies, when men are in distresse. To Christians, shall his people flie for succour in their miserie. O Lord, Lord in thy mercie, etc. When time, has borne these plagues away, More greevous shall succeede, More heavie Judgements of the Lord, Against us shall proceede. The Earth (with wind inclosd therein) Shall quake and tremble, for our sinne. O Lord, Lord in thy mercie, Hold thy heavie hand. Brave high-buylt Houses, on the earth, The quaking earth shall lay, When many at their Feastes and mirth, Their jocund sports and play (Mistrusting no such thing) are set, Our sinnes desart we still forget. O Lord. etc. Then (for a time) the Seas grow calme, The Skies are cleere, and still: Which time of stilnesse (like to Balme) Cures many, greefe would kill: But when our hopes stand faire for peace Our sorrowes shall againe increase. O Lord. etc. An other Earthquake presently, Heart-wounding sorrow brings, Remooving Houses, Churches, hie Hils, Trees, and other things. Our sinnes, like Hidras heads, increase, How should our plagues and torments cease[?] O Lord. etc. It is the part (Boetius sayes) Of men discreete and wise, Of wonderous thinges to search the cause: For tis the Simples guise, To gaze upon the thing that's done, and nere looke how, or why't begun. O Lord. etc. Then let us search into the cause Of these, with Plagues are past, That to repentance they may drawe's And to amend at last. The cause is Sin, our Sinn's the cause: Neclect of Gods decrees, and lawes. O Lord, etc. O let us turne unto the Lord, For he (alone) is hee, That can from water, fire, and sword At's pleasure set us free. If we by grace, cast Sin away, By mercy he his hand will stay. O Lord, etc. O Let us flie those deadly sinnes The Conscience overcloyes, The Conscience, Souls Salvation wins Or else the Soule destroyes, Let's labour then to keepe it free, That God, in glory, wee may see. O Lord, etc . O Lord, with thy all saving hand Our King and Queene de[fe]nd The Heire to this united Land And all their isshue tend. The Honorable Counsell blesse With many dayes, and happiness. O Lord, Lord, in etc.
