More WARNING yet. BEING A True Relation OF A Strange and most Dreadful APPARITION Which was seen in the Air By several persons at hull, the third day of this present Septemb. 1654. NAMELY, two Great battles Fought in the Air: One Army coming from the East, AND Another out of the North-West. With the manner of their Engagement and VICTORY. Enclosed in a Lettet from a Godly-Learned Minister of the Gospel in the said Town of Hull, who having diligently examined the truth thereof, sent it up to be published. Printed at London by J. Cottrel; and are to be sold by Richard moon, at the seven stars in Paul's churchyard. More Warning yet. UPon the third day of this present month September, a day not only remarkable for two notable & famous Victories which the English had over the Scots, the one at Dunbar, the other at Worcester; but observable also, as to be the day appointed for the sitting of this Parliament: between nine and ten of the clock at night, there was seen by James Cook Corporal, Thomas blossom, and Edward See, all soldiers belonging to the garrison of Hull, this strange and unwonted apparition. These being (at the time before mentioned) on the top of the North-Blockhouse, having the Watch according to order, on a sudden the sky seemed to be of a fiery colour, and to cast forth many streams. Whereupon, Thomas blossom observing the strangeness of the thing, began to tell the other two, how he had seen the very like appearance a little after the sitting of the first Parliament; and after such fiery streams, a great battle of horse and foot appeared in the air. He had not ended his Relation, but in the East appeared a huge Body of pike-men, several Parties marching before, as a Forlorn-hope. Never saw they in their lives an Army (to their thinking) in better equipage. Suddenly they beheld in the northwest another Army, the which seemed unto them to march towards the Eastern Army with extraordinary speed. And first, there was the representation of some Skirmishes between Parties of each Army, as the Forlorn-hope. Afterwards both Bodies did engage, and furiously charged each other with their Pikes, breaking thorough one the other backwards and forward, in such dreadful sort, as the beholders were astonished thereat. Besides, such was the order of the battle, as the Wings of each Army came in, to relieve their Bodies: And each had their Reserves, who accordingly came in: so that for an half quarter of an hour, there was a most terrible Fight. But to their thinking, the Army which came from the East had the worst. It is here to be noted, that both these Armies seemed to be of a Red colour. Within a little while, there appeared another Army from the northwest, greater than the former, which marched directly to the place where the former battle was fought. This Army was black: and here they perceived horse as well as foot. And now begins another battle far exceeding the former for fierceness and cruelty. From the black Army there went off Muskets and Cannons, insomuch that they clearly discerned the fire and smoke thereof. This battle was between the black and the Eastern red Army, being, as they apprehended, the Reserve of the former Army which came forth from the northwest. These two Armies thus engaged, broke thorough one another, forward and back ward; but the black seemed still to have the best. But before both Bodies met, there were several Skirmishes of Parties between the black and red, as in the former battle. And when both Armies did encounter, they saw such fire and smoke, as if a dozen Cannons had been discharged together. A little beneath these Armies, not far from the earth, upon a black cloud, appeared horsemen, and amongst them they could perceive nothing, but rising of fire and smoke, and a multitude of spears as it were standing upright. This latter battle continued a little longer than the former, the black driving the red before them, till all the red vanished out of their sight. And the black remained; who in a little time after, departed, and were not any more seen of them. READER, WHat Interpretation thou wilt make of this Apparition, I know not; neither shall I add any thing of mine own to the Relation: only take notice, (and believe it) it is no Fiction nor scarecrow, but a thing real, and far beyond what is here reported: for the Spectators (such was their astonishment) could not recollect so much as they saw, afterwards to make a true report of. D' Alva being asked whether he had seen the Blazing Star which appeared at that time; made answer, That he had so many earthly employments lying on his hands, as he had neither time nor leisure to look up, to see what God was doing in the heavens. I wish it be not so with too many at this time. God speaketh once, yea twice; yet man perceiveth it not. Job 33. 14. FINIS.
