at last he himself was mortally wounded, and that after they were laid one upon another, he also was laid upon the dead Bodies. The event was remarkable; for the Mareschal of St. Andree was killed at Dreux, the Duke of Guise at Orleans, the Constable of Montmorency at St. Denis: and this was the Triumvirate which had sworn the ruine of those of the Religion, and the destruction of that Prince. At last he him∣self was slain at Basack, as if there had been a continuation of deaths and funerals
Suetonius in the life of Iulius Caesar, tells us that the night before he was slain, he had divers premonitions thereof, for that night all the doors and windows of his chamber flew open, his wife also dreamed that Caesar was slain, and that she had him in her arms. The next day he was slain in Pom∣pey's Court, having received three and twenty wounds in his Body.
Pamelius in the life of Cyprian tells us for a most certain and well attested truth, that upon his first entrance into Carubis (the place of his banishment) it was revealed to him in a dream, or vision, that upon that very day twelve-month, he should be consummate: which accordingly sell out; for a litle before the time prefixed, there came sud∣dainly two Apparators to bring him before the new Proconsul Galeius, by whom he was condemned, as having been a Standard-bearer of his Sect, and an Enemy of the Gods. Whereupon he was condemned to be beheaded, a multi∣tude of Christians following him crying, Let us die together with him.
And as remarkable is that recorded by the learned and ingenious Doctor Sterne, of Mr. Vsher of Ireland, a man, saith he, of great integrity, dear to others by his merits, and my kinsman in blood: who upon the eighth day of Iuly, 1657. went from this to a better World.
