I Desire you to Certifie Mr. Booker, or Mr. Lilly of a strange Appa∣rition that was seen with us the 3. of April 1647. about 8 of the Clock in the morning there appeared three Suns at one time very round, and in about an houres distance, in their gate one from another, all of one bigness; and remaining so for a quarter of an houre, to the great amaze∣ment of the beholders: and at the last the two outmost vanisht away, and the middlemost remained; they were seen by divers men some 10. miles distance, but in some places there were seen but two: the night before be∣ing very clear, we saw the ☽ and ♃ not a hand breadth assunder, which many took notice of: and the next night following was very tempestuous: our countrey are very fearfull of some great danger toward us: there was another strange thing; a Calfe with two heads taken out of the Cows belly, and the Cow saved alive: the Calfe was carried to VVhitchurch and Drayton Faire to be shewed: I heard of strange and fearefull sights seen the night after the appearance of the three Suns, but I spoke not with the Parties, therefore I leave it; I desire to heare of their Astrolo∣gicall predictions upon these Verities, and so I rest their affectionate Schollar:
