A trumpet of the Lord sounded out of Sion which gives a certaine sound in the eares of all nations and is a true noyse of a fearfull earthquake at hand which shall shake the whole fabrick of the earth ... with a salutation to the seed who are gathered into the fold and with the children of the king ... / by one whose name is truly known by the children of the same birth ... Edward Burrough.

To all Astrologers Magitians, Southsayers, and Wise-men.

THus saith the Lord, my Controversie is against you, because of your Witchcrafts and Inchantments, you have digged deep as the pit of hell, to hide your counsel from the Lord, and have discovered your selves, in find∣ing out secrets to another, then me, in your natural Arts and knowledge you are corrupted the ground being cur∣sed in which you stand. You have in policy and witch∣craft sold your selves into the Power of darkness, and your Original of Science and Languages, is the Serpent, whose image and mark you bear; your wisdom is divelish, gain∣ed by the strength of corrupted reason, which is the ha∣bitation of the Serpent, whom you have chosen to be

your Instructor, and exalted for your God: There is a secret sealed from you, and a Star whose course you do not know, and a Sun eclipsed, of which you make no mention, and a circuit of heaven, of which you know not the Compass, and you cannot find out the secret by Divination; but the discovery of it will be the discover∣ing of your sorceries, and the making bare of your In∣chantments; your knowledge is in time; and leadeth not into the understanding of things everlasting, which are without beginning; my flaming sword is against you, and doth divide you from the Tree of eternal life, of which you cannot touch and live; My wrath shall sweep you out of the land of Peace, and my eye which seeth you, shall be the Star of Condemnation, and Darkness un∣to you, to the confounding of your Sun and Moon for ever.
