<HEAD>More Warning yet.</HEAD>
<P>_UPon the third day of this pre&s;ent month <HI>September,</HI> a day not only remarkable for two notable &amp; famous Victories which the <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> had over the <HI>Scots,</HI> the one at <HI>Dunbar,</HI> the other at <HI>Worce&s;ter;</HI> but ob&s;ervable al&s;o, as to be the day appointed for the &s;itting of this <HI>Parlia|ment:</HI> between nine and ten of the clock at night, there was &s;een by <HI>Iames Cook</HI> Corpo|ral, <HI>Thomas Blo&s;some,</HI> and <HI>Edward See,</HI> all &s;ouldiers belonging to the Gari&s;on of <HI>Hull,</HI>
<PB N="2" REF="3"><!-- PDF PAGE 13 -->
this &s;trange and unwonted apparition.</P>
<P>The&s;e being (at the time before mention|ed) on the top of the <HI>North-Blockhou&s;e,</HI> ha|ving the Watch according to order, on a &s;udden the skie &s;eemed to be of a fiery co|lour, and to ca&s;t forth many &s;treams. Whereupon, <HI>Thomas Blo&s;some</HI> ob&s;erving the &s;trangene&s;s of the thing, began to tell the other two, how he had &s;een the very like appearance a little after the &s;itting of the fir&s;t <HI>Parliament;</HI> and after &s;uch fiery &s;treams, a great Battel of hor&s;e and foot appeared in the air. He had not ended his Rela|tion, but in the <HI>East</HI> appeared a huge Body of <HI>pike-men,</HI> &s;everal Parties marching before, as a <HI>Forlorn-hope.</HI> Never &s;aw they in their lives an Army (to their thinking) in better equipage. Suddenly they beheld in the <HI>north-west</HI> another Army, the which &s;eem'd unto them to march towards the <HI>Eastern</HI> Army with extraordinary &s;peed.</P>
<P>And fir&s;t, there was the repre&s;entation of &s;ome Skirmi&s;hes between Parties of each Army, as the <HI>Forlorn-hope.</HI> Afterwards both Bodies did engage, and furiou&s;ly
<PB N="3" REF="3"><!-- PDF PAGE 13 -->
charged each other with their Pikes, break|ing thorow one the other backwards and forward, in &s;uch dreadful &s;ort, as the behol|ders were a&s;toni&s;hed thereat.</P>
<P>Be&s;ides, &s;uch was the order of the Bat|tel, as the <HI>Wings</HI> of each Army came in, to relieve their Bodies: And each had their <HI>Re&s;erves,</HI> who accordingly came in: &s;o that for an half quarter of an hour, there was a mo&s;t terrible Fight. But to their thinking, the Army which came from the <HI>Ea&s;t</HI> had the wor&s;t.</P>
<P>It is here to be noted, that both the&s;e Armies &s;eemed to be of a <HI>Red</HI> colour.</P>
<P>Within a little while, there appeared an|other Army from the <HI>north-we&s;t,</HI> greater then the former, which marched directly to the place where the former Battel was fought.</P>
<P>This Army was <HI>black:</HI> and here they perceived hor&s;e as well as foot.</P>
<P><PB N="4" REF="4"><!-- PDF PAGE 14 -->
And now begins another Battel far ex|ceeding the former for fiercene&s;s and cruel|ty. From the <HI>black Army</HI> there went off Muskets and Cannons, in&s;omuch that they clearly di&s;cerned the fire and &s;moke thereof. This Battel was between the <HI>black</HI> and the <HI>Eastern red Army,</HI> being, as they apprehen|ded, the Re&s;erve of the former Army which came forth from the <HI>north-west.</HI></P>
<P>The&s;e two Armies thus engaged, brake thorow one another, forward and back ward; but the <HI>black</HI> &s;eemed &s;till to have the be&s;t.</P>
<P>But before both <HI>Bodies</HI> met, there were &s;everal Skirmi&s;hes of <HI>Parties</HI> between the <HI>black</HI> and <HI>red,</HI> as in the former Battel. And when both Armies did encounter, they &s;aw &s;uch fire and &s;moak, as if a dozen Cannons had been di&s;charged together.</P>
<P>A little beneath the&s;e Armies, not far from the earth, upon a <HI>black cloud,</HI> appeared Hor&s;e-men, and among&s;t them they could perceive nothing, but ri&s;ing of fire and &s;moak, and a multitude of <HI>&s;pears</HI> as it were &s;tanding upright.</P>
<P>This latter Battel continued a little
<PB N="5" REF="4"><!-- PDF PAGE 14 -->
longer then the former, the <HI>black</HI> driving the <HI>red</HI> before them, till all the <HI>red</HI> vani&s;hed out of their &s;ight. And the <HI>black</HI> remained; who in a little time after, departed, and were not any more &s;een of them.</P>

<P>_WHat Interpretation thou wilt make of this Apparition, I know not; neither &s;hall I adde any thing of mine own to the Relation: Onely take notice, (and believe it) it is no Fiction nor <HI>Scar-crow,</HI> but a thing real, and far beyond what is here report|ed: for the Spectators (&s;uch was their astoni&s;hment) could not recollect &s;o much as they &s;aw, afterwards to make a true report of.</P>

D' <HI>Alva</HI> being ask'd whether he had &s;een the <HI>Blazing Star</HI> which appeared at that time; made an&s;wer, That he had &s;o many earthly employments lying on his hands, as he had neither time nor lea&s;ure to look up, to &s;ee what God was doing in the heavens.
