Dreams, not to be altogether sleighted. [ II]
IT is said of S. Cyprian, that in a Dreame he saw the Proconfull give order to the
Clark of Affizes,* 1.1 to write down his Sentence (which was to be beheaded) which
when the Clark by signes made known to S. Cyprian, the good Bishop desired
some delay of the Execution, that he might set his house in order; and the Clark
answered him in his dreame, That his Pe••ition was granted; and so it fell out accor∣dingly,
that that day twelvemonth after he had this dreame,* 1.2 his head was strook
off: Thus it hath been from the beginning, that God hath been so gracious to ma∣ny
of his children by Dreames, or otherwise to give them notice of their departure
descriptionPage 2
hence,* 1.3 to some the hath made known the year, to some the moneth, to some the
very day and hour; and not onely so, but the manner also of their death; some per
viam lacteam by the pleasant passage of Nature, some per viam sanguineam, the blo∣dy
way of Martyrdome, &c. Dreames therefore, as they are not with Eastern people
Superstitiously to be observed, so neither are they amongst us Christians, totally to
be neglected as idle and vaine nocturnall phantasies.
