The Preface, OR, EPISTLE TO THE READER,  
READER,  
FOrasmuch as the Ensuing Treatise, bareth an unusial stile; it being a Comment upon the Hyraglips of the Ancients, and those Poetical fixions, wherein hath been buried their knowledge of a Deaty; whom under divers signeficant terms and Charectors, do in effect confess the same things published, by that Holy and worthy Prophet of GOD Moses: who it is believed did write our first four Canonical Books of Scriptures: [from Genises, to Joshua,] for this reason, we give you to understand, first that by those many Names of the Power of God, which is but one is lively displayed, the Virtue and Power of that One, upon whom all Second Causes have their dependence.  
And then because what is attributed to this one, who hath variety of Names [to make him so distinguishable, in his works] Secondly the use of those many Names, are to let you understand; how by the variety of Opperations, in that one Spirit, GOD did, hath and will, effect the purpose of his decreed resolutions, [to bring to pass all things, which by the Counsel of his will, and wisdom, he Eternally Intended;] and therefore considering that the same which those Poets, do call Aether, and Dies, Coelus, and Terra, Coelum, and Vesta, etc. is intended by Moses, concerning the Generations of the Heavens, and Earth, [wherein the Firmament and Day, were the two first separated properties, of the work of GOD;] you by the same Rule, may trace a coherance between the Writings of these the Poets, [or Prophets to the Gentiles] and Moses, the Prophet of GOD, unto the Jews, [who then were accounted his only People.]  
Moreover Thirdly, concerning the Names of those Healthenish Gods and Goddesses, [Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto, Juno, Venus, etc.] they being the Names of certain Powers, properties and Virtues, of the Heavens, and Earth, attributed unto Persons that in the Older Ages, of the world, might and did bare those Names; as doth also the Stars of that birth, [under which Each, hath it particular signification] you are to consult, that as by Saturn, TIME is signified, so whatever is generated [in Time,] being the product of Saturn and Ops, [signifying Nature's Necessity of help in that work;] Occeanus also, signifying the mighty deeps, or Abiss, upon which the darkness remained; while the Earth was in its Chaos, [void of Form;] it doth appear, that until the Spirit of GOD, had breathed and did move, upon waters of the unformed world, [in its first nothingness;] the Generations of Oceanus, which now are brought forth of such Abiss, did nevertheless till the Spirit of Nature became separate from its Heavens, [by the disjoining of TIME from Eternity, lay hid in the Chaos [of Terra.]  
So that Fourthly, where any word or Term remains dubious; you are to proceed unto that part, by which it is explained, and you will find such a coherence in the whole, that shall give you to understand a prophetical Interpretation of those Mystical Characters, and Hyraglips of the Ancients, [under which knowledge hath been locked up from the more vulgar capacities] until this time, come for every thing to be revealed and stand unsealed: the reason of which, both why was locked up [in proverbical dark sayings and Sentences,] those Mysteries now to be unridled; and also of the Time for its unsealing, every one will come to read in themselves, [who are once come to find the key:] as also why the Arms of England's principality, are signified and represented by that Noble Species, of a Lion [Rampant, Passant, Couchant, or Dormant;] and why by the principality of France, is signified a Wolf, pawing on the Flower de Luce; these with the Fox, Ape, Swan, Peacock, Goose, etc. being Heraglips that we have seen: and of the reason of our application, have so much on our side, as every one must be forced to confess unto the truth thereof, (that owns or pretends to such reason;) unless while scrupeling whether or no Romulus was nurssed by a Wolf, they fall into a flat denial of New builded Rome, to be nurssed and supported by the French power and Interest. But our endeavours are Candidly for the Readers Benefit,  
Who am Reader, in all Service of Love thine, Robert Bryan.   

A PROLOGUE To the Ensuing TREATISE.  
GOD'S Wisdom first found out away,  
Foundations of all Worlds to Lay,  
Upon a Cause more firmly fixed;  
Then all the Seeds of Nature mixed,  
In one Great Mass, the Chaos was,  
Of matter unformed [by Nature's Laws,]  
Though we confess the Abiss was,  
To every thing a Second Cause:  
Of Form distinct to Nature's Soul,  
And every Orb, about doth roll,  
Of the Great World's Universe:  
On whom GOD'S Power did Impress,  
The Seal of Forms, that are distinct  
Among themsels [as Causes linked,  
Together in One Golden Chain,  
Intelligable to remain.)  
And this doth draw about the whole,  
Of all the parts, that have one Soul  
Causing the End, with the beginning  
To meet together [as one winning,  
The Game and prize, at stake was laid,  
In Nature's womb, none can upbraid;]  
Because Eternity did will,  
A Cause Eternal to fulfil,  
Those things which being brought about,  
Are the Effects of what doth sprout,  
From Cause of Nature, in a Lump  
In whom all Second Causes Jump;  
According to purpose decreeing,  
All Causes of Nature and being,  
[As well unto the parts, as whole  
Of matter and great worlds Soul.   


CHAPTER, I.  
Concerning all changes come or made upon and in the body of Nature, (subject to the revolution of matter in time) under some weighty-Considerations upon Eternity.  

WHere what is past and flown, meets in that one  
Whence causes present effecteth things to come,  
Before and after are those parts of time,  
Nature (in whom's pur forth the measuring Line)  
By labour (in motion) strives to undermine;  
Which to prevent Eternity contrived,  
How all the Laws of Nature might be revived,  
On a Foundation firmer than that of self;  
(Which undermined, may be by Nature's Elph:)  
But Kingdom of self, thus undermined doth cause,  
Established (under the Dragons' Jaws)  
This new revive of Nature and her Laws. For   

II.  
Where Satan had made his Seat, those now do dwell,  
Whom God will make witness against his hell;  
(As nature renewed, unto her rights once lost:  
Comes up adorned, with beauty of wisdom's cost:)  
Thus Nature a subject was to a first cause,  
Of being to the whole, and of those Laws,  
Wherein the mind of God, (on her Impressed)  
Had a commanding power to make all blessed?  
Before was opened the Eternal Womb,  
Of Seeds Eternal (Eternally there Sown)  
By an Eternal power thus Generating,  
Causes of form (to all of Gods Creating.   

III.  
Before (we say) unsealed was that shut down  
Under Eternal silence (without renown)  
A hiden cause there was of all that's thence;  
Awakened from Nature's Womb, to compliance.  
Which cause of form, was cause of births there strove,  
According to a power each seed did move,  
Where Lurked the cause why Man, from GOD was driven.  
For matter of form, while closing with its cause,  
Is subject unto natures willed form and laws.  
Who like an Ass, is bended down between  
Two burdens born, (while couchant she is seen;  
Yielding compliance, to all within the Scene.)   

IV.  
Unmanifest (as God) eternally,  
That one (before and after all) was he;  
Therefore what we Eternal Nature call,  
Dwelling of God (unmanifest the all)  
Was the before and after cause adorned;  
Willed manifest (in matter once unformed,)  
Being to forms of Nature, from that cause  
Of all in one Gold chain (so powerful draws;)  
Where cause of self, as whole stands now divided,  
Variety disclosing, the strif decided.  
By Unity, in whom (qualities distinct)  
Are swallowed up in one the whole is linked;   

V.  
But while shut up, were various operations,  
(In one Eternal Womb,) all separations:  
Of matter (willed by causes) did obey,  
The separating cause, without delay,  
Thus causes in God (of Soul to Nature's frame)  
Was one creating cause, caused him supreme;  
To be over those causes, had a dependence,  
On will to separation, caused by attendance.  
(Of Seeds unformed) occasion to Embrace,  
They took (by opportunity to come in place,  
Where births distinct, accordingly were formed,  
From cause of self, as self now stands adorned.   

VI  
From the Intelligable (Ideas made separate)  
Are causes of form (in Nature) uncreate,  
In Nature, as seeds, Ideas thus were placed:  
But Shaddowy (in matter) they form Embraced;  
For in God's mind was placed (in unity,)  
Ideas of form that had Community,  
With him the one of all, while uncreate  
Was form to matter, he did separate;  
According to causes distinguishable,  
(Among themselves) from the Intelligable;  
As such the World's Soul, that did admit  
Variety of Seeds, so causing it.   

VII.  
But will of causes, Atracting forms distinct,  
Was will unable, till quickenings there had linked,  
(In one, that Golden Chain,) Nature complying  
Caused will of one to be a cause denying,  
Power otherways to causes, than they served  
To magnify that cause, in whom reserved;  
Was a reward of Justice, by equal measure,  
Proportioning effects, to be the treasure,  
Of will to all causes, made separate,  
To serve that one, whose Power did Antedate;  
All disobedience made by will Inthrawled,  
Another Lord to serve, than truth Instawled:   

VIII.  
Thus changes in Nature had variety,  
Of causes Subjecting unto vanity:  
Not willingly (by God; who otherways  
Subdued in hope our forms again to rise.  
Throw all these changes, he suffering did will  
Eternal Glory formed; that to fulfil,  
Which our frail Natures wakened, by death's sting  
Unto his praise decreed about did bring;)  
For he decreed effects to every cause,  
Proportionable unto Nature's Laws:  
(As cause of whole, and consequent of parts,  
Dependant upon one, whom causes thwarts.   

IX.  
Thus Thwart, as they are thwarted by decree,  
(Of God that one; who holds Supremecy)  
Did causes of hurt (by change) first operate,  
Till God, had turned the course of Nature's fate  
Brought (through her changes) to a better State.  
And hence all cause of various operations,  
Effects produceth, as various in their Stations,  
While we under the Moonlight walk of will,  
Ordained to rule the changes; do fulfil  
His purpose decreed, that then shall stand revealed,  
(To be lights Fountain, when its Suns unsealed:)  
Under whose righteous wings, Nations are healed.   

X.  
Mean time as Children of the day let's walk,  
And not like Bats by Night, the Sun doth bawk  
Seeing a better State, God hath ordained,  
For those who by his Power have sin refrained,  
And him doth love, whom evil hath restrained.  
Changes must be, before our Resurrection  
Completed is, to out live that Infection,  
Which Death by 'tis sting, hath made on Nature frail  
While her comply did Misery Entail,  
On us her Subjects, may the hurt bewayl:  
But le's arise in Life, unchangeable  
And leave behind the form tangable.   

XI.  
For Act of causes, sinful comes of self  
Where cause of Act, was willed by Nature's Elph;  
Who separated birth, is of that seed  
Which sown in Nature's Garden proved a weed;  
For though to will, God being first did give  
Which will of different seeds, came thence to live,  
Yet will of self, no power had to Act,  
Till change prevailed, to Natrulise wills Fact  
Which self Entailed upon the will of Nature,  
Not absolute, though free (in every Creature:)  
Where causes of will, are linked all in one chain,  
Draws after will Effects, caused to remain. And   

XII.  
Where change of mind, precedent cause is made  
Of change on bodies, to Glory (ne'er shall fade,  
Repentings are a needful change begun,  
Till unto the unchangeable, were come  
Where united stands a body with that mind;  
Which Glorified is, Glory to find.  
Therefore though we in bodies vile, have dwelled  
This change begun on Nature we have felt,  
(As well as on our minds,) having a part  
In the first Resurrection, where our heart,  
With its affections, placed above are set,  
On Heavenly things renewings doth beget.    

CHAP. II.  
Concerning the Creation of the World, (in Nature) wherein stands represented, the Mystery of the Golden Fleece, that was carried to Colchos.  

WHen God the Word began first to Create,  
The Earth being void of form was Nihils Seat,  
While Darkness Oceanus over spread,  
And on the face of Neptune Spirit sheed;  
Which was a Power supreme, willed separation  
Of light from darkness of his first Creation.  
But while the Heavens and Earth, were thus Created  
The Stage of Nothings form therein stated.  
Fixation was required, while apt to fly  
Was matter volatile, 'bove Nature's Sky;  
God's Spirit therefore breathing on those waters,  
Whose Face was the first beauty of all matters.   

II.  
A Firmament thus made, the Curtain was  
Of Nature (forms) out-spread showing a cause,  
Why unto Coelus and Terra; Aether and Die  
Parents were feigned under Nature's Surprise,  
As also how Nature surprised, (while Reigned,  
The youngest Son of Coelus and Terra thus feigned?)  
Both why and how (we say) became disjoined,  
Such Coelus and Terra; from unity of mind,  
And what were the three sorts of Children born,  
Giants, Cyclopes and Tytans from Heaven torn;  
(As Saturn the youngest race, of powers destructive  
With crooked Sith did cut off parts productive.)   

III.  
The cause (we say,) of all these things appears,  
When once the Curtians drawn in Aethers Spheres,  
That he on dies formed, when separated  
Was Light from Darkness, by what God Created;  
To be the Heavens and Earth; (were void of form  
While Oceanus covered as one unborn,)  
Stood capable, of Heaven's Impregnation,  
On Vesta made the fruit of God's Creation:)  
For Vesta's praise, who thence received her light,  
All then stood Clothed, with Coelums Nature bright,  
Cause vayld the Temple was whence light appeared,  
Made th' outward Nature of all things be feared:   

IU.  
But till their Nature, by Earth's heir was worn,  
And outward pomp, was from Man's Heavens torn;  
The outward Nature of all things did bare,  
An Image formed in Gods own Heavenly Sphere,  
Till Neptune's Brats (we say) were born, all stood  
Capable of form from the Eternal good:  
Good 'twas to him, thus to create them so,  
While evil lurked (unformed) men's mortal foe,  
Proceeding whence took place the guilt of wo.  
But his Decree hereby was brought about,  
His Head to break that caused the reble rout,  
Conspired by Death, whence all our evils sprout.   

V.  
'Twas Amphitrite, to whom stood first united,  
Our powerful Neptune, (whom hell fiends thus spited,  
Having contrived the way to frame desire,  
Of Ewe to self (in kind and Sheep's first sire,  
From Nature's harmless dress and best Attire:)  
Desire thus framed of One, in twains partake  
The Tie in wedlock did fond Neptune broke:  
For of Theophiness, Neptune soon grew fond  
Who her in Ewe-skin clothed, Wolf to Abscond,  
From near approach (because fear held the bond.)  
While he her other Lovers had transformed,  
Under the Wolf-like shape, they stood Adorned;   

VI  
In Nature bliss and fortunes direct way,  
All Labouring moved until thus went astray,  
Subjects created one Lord to obey;  
Before our Adam did his Nature slain,  
To be this one, did Neptune strive amain,  
And how to get the Fleece (did Gold remain.)  
On fair Theophiness in such form of Ewe,  
Who from such other Lovers amazed flew,  
(That by Enchantment, Neptune Wolf-like formed  
To fright his fair Theophiness, with shaps scorned;  
In form of Ram (we say) Neptune begot,  
The Golden Fleece, which of the Ram out shot;   

VII.  
Before the Ram of this his Fleece was shorn,  
Or shape of Wolves, were thus brought under scorn,  
On such the Ram, by whom was first begot,  
The Golden Fleece of Neptune, (now lusts blot)  
Phryxus to Colchos, Rod a journey hence,  
Before the Golden Fleece, was carried thence,  
To Colchos from this our Elesian shore,  
The Ram carried our Gold to deck the whore;  
When shorn and fleeced he came, (now doth adore  
The Beasts formed Image on a fleshly score,)  
Because while wounded was one head of power,  
Six others grew and spread, for man's devour.   

VIII.  
The Ram thus fleeced, as Phyxus then did Ride,  
To carry Gold away o'er Neptune's tide:  
Ceres dismayed was, to see transformed,  
From Ram to Horse, (with crest and huffs adorned;  
But yet prepared was there a Cave to hide,  
Her from the shame and loss, that did betid  
Her wand'ring fancy, after Proserpina  
By Jupiter begot (in seeds of Time:)  
Cause Jason entering in that open Cave,  
Thence brought his Plutus out from Nature's grave,  
While Neptune on Ceres, venturing like attempt  
From cause of shame, could not Ceres exempt.   

IX.  
For Daughter of Time, (in Saturn signified)  
Was Ceres the Mother of Seed, that did abide  
The loss of Proserpina (her Daughter) when,  
She ranged in Nature's field to gather in,  
(To self) the Flowers thereof; until found ravished  
Was she, by Pluto carried who time had lavished,  
'Mongst her Companions, (what Nature did then yield,  
Wisdom, Beauty, and Wealth, to grace her Field,  
While thus from her Companions (in her prime,  
She's snatched to hell, and there held a Rapine,)  
To dwell Six Months with Pluto, as one famished,  
Who thus from Venus, Juno, and Minerve, stood banished.  
For what cause?   

X.  
Again to grace the World with Beauty new,  
And show the Power of him, by whom then grew,  
What she had gathered in, which did revive,  
(Other Six Months,) upon the Earth to thrive;  
A separated Seed of Nature's Soil,  
Made subject to bare the Fruit of Adam's toil;  
By fancy of his own that Love Imbrassed;  
Who his Theophiness was, on whom was placed,  
That Virtue of his mind, in Nature graced;  
Till Love turned Lust, was such a change in Man,  
That Nature favoured in the Cave of Pan,  
Whence Ceres lighted Torches, (read who can.)— What   

XI.  
Divided Species of the Dragon was,  
Such Beast of prey the Wolf, that sets his paws,  
Upon the Flower of Crowns, in Nature's Sphere,  
Where Subjects of that Crown, which Kings do ware,  
Are Armed men Sprung up, in Nature's soil,  
Who 'gainst each other fight, for his prevail  
Whose Teeth knocked out, by our Medea's hand,  
Were Sown to make the World to understand,  
How sleepy Death over poured the grim assays,  
'Gainst her was made (who Tract the Dragons' ways,  
Whom by no wit or Art, could then uphold  
The Breach of tottering Walls (from fall foretold)   

XII.  
While Bulls with fiery Mouths, both huffed and horned,  
(With Ire of sparkling brass) Medea scorned,  
Although they were a guard, to Apples fair  
Which grew in Hesper's Garden by such Air;  
To grace his Orchard, with such Fruit of Time,  
He holds in hell, for our Nature's Rapine.  
Thus was out charmed the Dragon of his prize,  
When once the seed first sown again did rise,  
Hurt to prevent of Nature's open ties,  
But how the Enemy did with mischief tange,  
What thus became misplaced, to work such change,  
If you'll find out consult, in Nature's range.    

CHAP. III.  
Concerning Paradise, and such the Dragon, Beast, and Whore under whose Power and Dominion, (by their Enchantments,) put upon the same,) our Felecity (of these Enjoyments; in a Life of Nature) hath been lost, and the Golden Fleece hence carried.  

ONe was the Tree, (in midst of Garden placed,  
Which also with the Tree of Life, was graced;  
But senssed, though one; divided stood the form,  
Of twain, who from that one, quickly was torn,  
To reunite all causes of twins Born:  
For (while thus one) the Fruit of both was senssed;  
And from that one, the Taster soon was fenssed;  
Where Glory of Paradise (in a better State,  
Then that wherein Exists, our love and hate,)  
On wings of Angels fleed, to her new Seat.  
Seeking redress for loss, she had sustained  
By Death on Life, (where Adam first remained.   

II.  
Whence Death sprung up, in what was separated,  
The twain of one (from whom Life thus retreated,  
Towards the Centre; wherein it was retained,  
The Tree of Life, from lustful Eyes restrained.)  
'Cause thus the fence broke down, the Tree did yield  
The Taster (pain for pleasure) in her field;  
As Good and Evil, springing from that Tree;  
Good Fruit did bare, but Evil unto we,  
Did prove by Tasting, (as forbid to us,  
Who disobeying fell under the curse:)  
Of that which self procured (in Nature frail,  
O'er whom the Enemy came, thus to prevail. For   

III.  
Watched over was the Tree, (such Fruit did bare  
By the Old Serpent, and Enchanted were,  
Both Fruit and Garden, where Pluto did feed,  
His Queen of pleasure, who grasped flowers of Seed,  
That Ravished was, by gathering such a prize,  
Which coveted, now opens Nature's Eyes,  
To sense the Good and Evil of that Life,  
Which she in hell must lose, to end the strife;  
As he the Dragon (out charmed) his Art doth loose,  
By strength of Teeth to bite or to abuse,  
The Power in Nature placed; which must arise  
To Glory in such Dragons first surprise,   

IU.  
Dying to live, was then the way prepared,  
Against the sting of Death, that all men feared.  
While living to die, Nature her course thus steered,  
By Death to kill a Death, (in Life once cured,  
All pangs on Life by Death easily endured.  
Are unto those in whom Life's Crown Insured, But  
How Nature from its Paradise, did sink  
Into a lower station, where did link,  
Causes together, of that Golden Chain;  
Under whose drawing power doth remain:  
Subjects of her Dominions, now become  
Vasels unto a Lord (for what was done,)   

V.  
How he the Dragon, thus came to prevail  
O'er Nature Subjects, and his sting Entail,  
On her posterity, by allowance took,  
That Heavens suffering caused in her forsaken;  
By Angels of that Sphere, (their station kept,  
Of Glory from Heaven revealed (where Adam steeped.)  
The Mystery of which a secret was,  
That Angels into prying became a cause;  
Seals (while remaining on God's Book) none can,  
Unloose, until times come, that God in Man,  
Hath taught a World Misteries to understand;  
Of whole to be fulfilled is now at hand.   

VI  
In order unto which take Observation,  
Of what befell the World in its first station,  
Where Saturn (Angel of time) with his sharp Sith,  
Did separate what from Coelus, he did deprive  
By Circumcise of parts, that Terra did catch;  
When he by hand and Sith, did thus dispatch  
('Cause of Coelus' sufferings) to separate,  
That which Blood of such wounds did Generate:  
Forms of those Causes, from Coelus once disjoined  
Their Mother Earth Embraced, under like kind  
Of a disjunction made 'twixt her and Coelus,  
'Gainst whom she did conspire, with Nature's Bellows  
What to do?   

VII.  
To blow up Nature's Coal unto a fire,  
Her Subjects could not quench, under the Ire  
Of Instigated Saturn to unthrone,  
His Father Coelus, when an Eunuch grown: For  
From Heaven was then cast down, those monstrous shapes  
Which were cut off by Saturn (as Coelu's escapes,  
Until this time of Circumcision came;  
Thereby made Circumventive to Coelus of blame,)  
Whence Giants these sprung up Monstroufly formed,  
With many Heads of beast, that was ten horned,  
For unto Earth was cast, Members defiled,  
No more to Generate in Heaven a Child,   

VIII.  
But than sufferings of Coelus from that cause,  
Blood spilt and sown on Earth, 'gainst Natures Laws,  
(Created vengeance from the Throne of Power,  
Retaliated on him who did devour,  
(In cutting off those Members) his own race,  
Whom when made vomit up did him displace,  
From the usurped Seat, whence he disthroned,  
Of Members was deprived, and unbemoaned  
In his Exile, where none but Janus dared,  
In Italy to harbour what was spared,  
By Sword of Jove, (who Nourished was in Crect;)  
And was confined where miseries do meet. How?   

IX.  
As into time was brought, hell's hot desire,  
Which did create Eternal flames of fire,  
Those forms to destroy, which Nature gave  
In Childhood to be nurssed, towards their grave;  
While open throat of Saturn down doth swallow,  
All principles to Blood, in whom did wallow,  
Nature's first birth, cast forth in open Field,  
Unswaddled there, while none respect did yield,  
Like to Celeus, (unto Satur's Daughter,)  
Who took in Ceres, while she wand'ring after  
Her Proserpina, whom ravished and led to hell,  
From her was lost, (with Pluto constrained to dwell.) What?   

X.  
A Subject of Pluto, though in hell a Queen  
She in Natures adorn, doth sometimes seem;  
While Plutus her Mother's Son by Jason hides,  
The Gold that Ram, did carry o'er Neptune's tides,  
Whom Horse begot (on Cerees;) did cause that shame;  
She bears for Neptune's sake, where rests the blame  
Of what she having let in, the first was lost  
While second in Earth appeared hers, in third crossed  
But Angel of Justice, Heavens did retain,  
A thundering Jove (in Vesta did remain;)  
Whom Saturn on Ops, did Generate to be,  
Heaven's restitution made of Liberty.  
But do you Ask?   

XI.  
How from the fall of Lucifur did rise,  
The Dragon unto Power for our surprise;  
How Lucifur cast down, and under chain  
Of Darkness there kept was so to remain,  
Reserved unto the Judgement of a day,  
By fire tries, what thus from God did stray?  
And yet how loosed was such the Dragons' power,  
Who in all Ages laboured to devour?  
How he both loose and bound, at once could be  
To serve God's Justice, and himself go free;  
How (while Christ in his suffering Saints did Reign,)  
He vengeance could escape (from being slain?)   

XII.  
This all to Answer is a task too great,  
For humane wit or Art (that may create,  
More scruples than required it to explain;)  
Because the Book thus sealed, must so remain.  
Until the Time is come to stand revealed,  
All Misteries (in Nature) to be unsealed: For  
How bound [think ye] was he thus did prevail,  
By such Viceroy [the Beast] over that Tail,  
Made up of Heavens third part, that had been drawn  
After the Dragon their head [on whom did fawn,  
Slaves of his Dominion, Flattery did love,  
From such his Tail, he after him did move.]    

CHAP. IU.  
Concerning the Kingdom, Power and Dominions of such the Dragon and Whore, in and unto the Beast, delivered up [under several forms, he had Power to transform himself into;] wherein by the appearance of the Wolf, [the Nurse of Old Rome] is unridled a Prophetical Demonstration of a Mystery including, the Power of France, [under the Kingly Dominion of a Wolf, pawing on the Flower Deluce.]  

NEptune with Triple Forck, thrust Triple Crown,  
From Earth towards Nature's Heavens, for her renown;  
To whom by crook she drew its Glory down.  
Who now grown whore, upon that Beast doth ride,  
That carried Phryxus o'er this Neptune's Tide;  
Which Beast, (in the Lamb's form) hath Dragons' voice:  
And is the now grown Ram, of the whore's choice,  
That Life unto the Beast with wounded Head,  
Recovered, by healing that once almost dead,  
Unto which Beast the Dragon, gave up his power,  
(With Seat and great Dominion to devour;  
All those who were not sheltered in his Tower.   

II.  
And cause his wounded Head again was healed,  
Unto and in his Image, Life stood revealed;  
The Mystery of Power revived, [once was fast sealed.]  
That he both Live and Spoke, did with a voice  
Of a commanding power; with Nature's choice,  
Unto a shape, (with Monstrous Heads and horns;)  
Wherein he worshipped was in several forms, For  
With Seven Heads, (and horns Ten) came he,  
On the Septentrion Angle where Waters be.  
That fills the Sea, whence he came up to show  
How out from thence being come, his power doth grow,  
Over those waters that do overflow.   

III.  
Those Waters many (whereon She doth set,  
Lady of pleasure, that doth pain beget,)  
Are Peoples, Tongues and Nations, o'er whom she rules,  
(As Queen) who is that whore, the world befools:  
On seven high Hills also, spread forth her Sat,  
Did She who rides on him, whose horns shall hate,  
That bloody City built on Mountains high,  
Which plainly doth the Beast, and Whore descry;  
Who both when taken alive, with Dragon great  
Are cast into the Lake fire uncreate,  
Eternally prepared to be their fate,  
That 'gainst God did presume (from such their sate,)   

IV.  
For while this Whore exalted was on him,  
Whose frightful and Monstrous form unto Men,  
Frayed first the Ewe Theophness, with Wolf's shape  
(As things transformed, thus stood for her escape,  
Who flying from the Wolf, while Ram prevailed,  
Hath on her shoulders, Eagles wings Entailed,  
While thus (we say,) the Wolf Man was feared  
He like a Wolf to Theophiness appeared:  
Who now stands Clothed, the Ram that once was shorn  
And is Enchanting Neptune's better form,  
Whose Fleece again being grown, all men adore  
The Rising Sun who once went down before.   

V.  
'Twas Romulus, that first began to build  
The City called by's Name in Nature's Field,  
The Wolf that nurssed him was Nature adorned,  
In such a shape, that Neptune had transformed:  
Lovers of Theophiness, as frightful Beasts of prey,  
They did appear the harmless Ewe to fray,  
Which caused the flight (on Eagles wings) of she,  
Our true Theophiness is, (Mother sets free;  
Her seed and Children dear, from the Wolf's Ire  
Who in his Stomach Nurssed, brood of Hell's fire,)  
For what Romulus, thus built she Fox became,  
Called Reynelus, thus Nurssed (under Wolf's blame.) Of what?   

VI  
Of nurssing him did build, a City great  
Whom thus She Fox became, found in the cheat  
Was (of her Mother Wolf; who sought advise,  
From Reynelus, how they an Enterprise,  
Might bring about, to storm the Lion's Den;  
To whom Wolf Reynalds, sent (it to look in)  
And view the State of Lion, how stood Guarded  
The Palace of that Prince; and how warded,  
Was Fort of Leo? and who there stood sentry?  
Or kept the Gates; through which he makes his entry?  
Fox taking leave of Wolf, his errand run  
Having more craft than Wolf, (whose tale was done.)   

VII.  
And when to Lion's Den come, in did peep  
Who unto Wolf brought word, Lion did sleep,  
Which did encourage Wolf to travel on,  
Towards the Lion's Fort, (as Fox had done;)  
And thither coming without fear of danger,  
Found Fox a liar, and no Forest Ranger:  
For Wolf no sooner peeped in Lion's Den,  
But roused he stood to meet Wolf halfway in;  
(While crafty Fox, fleed towards Hen-roost to hide,  
Herself from danger, of the Wolf's betid,  
Under whose paw, was left (Wolf who had nurssed,  
A City builder (she Fox became now cursed,) So that   

VIII.  
Who ploughed hath with our Heifor may be bold,  
That they this riddle, shall come to unfold;  
Mean while consider, where the Wolf was left  
And whether fleed the Fox Guilty of theft;  
Who while to Goose doth preach, on Goose doth ride,  
To whom she proves a grave, (the Goose doth hide;  
Therefore let Goose beware, while Fox doth teach  
Peacock a lesson ('gainst pride) he don't Impeach;  
Goose for an Ape of France, and leave the Swan,  
In his white plums to pride, read they that can  
For now on Stage are brought, with their black feet,  
Both Peacock, Swan, and Ape, whom Fox doth greet, For what?   

IX.  
To hear a Sermon made, although the Text  
She would not give, till Goose to her sat next,  
Upon whose back she leapt, setting a stride  
The prey she made (of Goose whom Fox doth ride:)  
For Hen-roost Fox was hunting, while she left  
The Wolf to Lion's paw, of power bereft,  
(To help herself, thus fallen under paw,  
Of Lion Rampant, keeps all Beasts in awe.) While  
Necessity indeed of Justice was,  
A Foster Mother, and a Second Cause,  
(As Death awakend, Justice to Execute,  
Made hungry grave, its power to prosecute.) What?   

X.  
Causes (in Nature) why thus hath prevailed,  
Death unto heirs, on whom it stands entailed, And  
How needful 'twas, the Wolf should come they know,  
Who are awakend' against Death's overthrow;  
Till then the Wolf may paw, upon the flower,  
(That is no meat with ease he can devour,  
Whose stomach craves to nourish deaths hungry power:  
And feeds upon those bodies wherein Life,  
Is cased remaining years, of Nature's Strife,  
Throw Death to live again God's Loyal Wife.   

11.  
And thus her Sat, on whom the Change prevailed,  
Over the Seed, to whom death stood entailed,  
Is now seen Ram, by whom the wound was healed:  
Of head on Monster Heaven hath revealed  
To be the form revived, for him to whom  
The Dragon gave up his Seat, Power, and Throne;  
So that you plainly now may see what rides,  
And what unto the who such Beasts betides,  
Him that hath carried her who rules the form  
On her begotten in a blustering storm:  
(Carried once to Colchos in form of a Ram,  
Phryxus that Rod o'er Neptune's Ocean.   

12.  
Through all transformings hitherto hath appeared,  
Unclothed the Wolf, that in a Ewe-skin feared  
Self in a shape begot, by fire of Lust;  
('Twixt twain) what's made a grave to hold the Just;  
When crucified (by her, that was the Nurse  
To Romulus the Sire of Nature's curse:)  
The form was held, (as Wolf then did afford  
Her Nourishment of twain with one accord)  
Who though she be thus inwardly a Wolf,  
Yet stands in Sheeps-skin clad a greedy Gulf,  
And swallowed in (by craft) beguiled minds  
While bait was covered hurtful as flock finds.   

13.  
Now mark you well, the Cause of false Larums,  
By Shepherds of that Flock, and sound of Drums,  
Have cried the Wolf is come to Stupify,  
The Ears so oft deceived by their grossly,  
Till come he did, and shall (though self secure,  
They all are grown, who look not to Endure  
Trials by fire, preparing for a day  
Brings Sheep to sold again had went astray  
When naked, such Wolf time will bewray  
Who though a Wolf, he thus be inwardly  
Yet in Sheeps-skin, is clad from their descry  
By Shepherds, are lead and left when dangers by   

14.  
But how the Wolf doth come, if you will know,  
(Considering thus his clothing her below)  
Mark well, no time that's past can time prevent,  
(Decreed to bring about the whole event)  
Until is ripened Fruits by Fire tried  
That its consuming flames cannot abide,  
Though on the Flower de Luce this Wolf doth paw,  
In him Nurssed up, (by her keeps Kings in Awe;  
Contented are, their Subjects should be hers,  
The time those horns have power that she confers,  
Yea, and transfers from those shall disobey  
To drink her Cup brimful, the prize doth sway.)
