Signs from Heaven, to warn and awaken the Eastern Association, with the Southern parts of the Kingdom.  
INcredulity hath always been the forerunner of misery ever since the Creation; the old World would not be warned by Noah's building the Ark until the flood came, Pharaoh would not be warned by God's Judgements till he was swallowed up of the Red-Sea; nay, as Abraham, said in the parable to Dives, should one arise from the dead yet would they not believe; therefore because these warnings would not serve; the Lord, who is slow to wrath and of much mercy, gave signs from Heaven unto the jews, to forewarn them of their approaching destruction, but they regarded it not. The Blazing Star seen in our Horizon so many years ago, which began towards Germany, fetched its compass to Ireland, and whose blazing bush tail hung over England, was but a nine day's wonder, although these Countries hath since found the effects thereof, the Almighty divert his judgements from u● if it be his will, which we may justly fear hangeth over our heads, by reason of our continual crying sins, notwithstanding the many tokens of his anger shown unto us by strange and fearful Apparitions seen in the Air (the 21 of May last passed) in many parts, both in our own Kingdom of England, and at the Hague, in Holland, by many hundreds of beholders, which thus appeared unto them.  
Upon the one and twentieth day of May last in the afternoon, in this year 1646, there were very strange sights seen, and unwonted sounds heard in the Air, in several places of this Kingdom, as also at the Hague in Holland upon the same day as followeth.  
First; came a little round thing about the bigness of a Table or board, like unto grey Paper: and without it was seen the likeness of a Lion and a Dragon, which furiously fought together, which Dragon after a while did spit fire furiously, but was overcome by the Lion: and yet the Lion continued in sight.  
2. Appeared by the Lion a multitude of soldiers, with another Dragon likewise, with a multitude of Soldiers both foot and horse: and before every Troop a Trumpeter, which we saw perfectly set the Trumpets to their mouths, and so began the Troops to fight one against another in great fury: so that we did not know who had the better, but the people vanished away, and the Lion and the Dragon continued still in fight.  
3. There appeared also a King with three Crowns on his head, sitting upon a Kingly throne with a great company of people about his Throne, and they vanished away immediately: but the Lion and the Dragon abode still in fight.  
4. There appeared also a number of people's head, and one great head amongst them: and a multitude of bodies without heads, which vanished away, yet the Lion and the Dragon abode as before continuing in fight.  
5. There appeared yet likewise one man sitting upon a horse, which shot himself through (as with a pistol) and fell backward, and so vanished away.  
Lastly there appeared a mighty fleet of Ships in the South-west, and drove to the Southeast, by the Lion and the Dragon, where the fight was, with a multitude of men aboard the ships, with half their bodies to be seen above board, which we saw perfectly hoyfing up their Sails, and driving too and fro, and as it were continued all standing still, till the Lion and the Dragon embraced one another and so fell backward, and disappeared: whereupon there appeared a great cloud which was not there before, and so drove away with the wind.   

In the Counties of Cambridge, Suffolk and Norfolk, on the 21 day of May last passed in the afternoon were seen as followeth.  
ABout Newmarket in the County of Cambridg, there were seen by divers honest, sober, & civil persons, and men of good credit, three men in the Air striving, struggling, and tugging together, one of them having a drawn Sword in his hand.  
Betwixt Newmarket and Thetford in the County of Norfolk, there was observed a pillar or a Cloud to ascend from the earth, with the bright hilts of a sword towards the bottom of it, which pillar did ascend in a pyramidal form, and fashioned itself into the form of a spire broach Steeple, and there descended also out of the sky, the form of a Pike or Lance, with a very sharp head or point to encounter with it.  
Also at a distance, there appeared another Spear or Lance, with a very acute point out of the Sky, likewise, which was ready to interpose, but did not engage itself.  
The first Spear which came down from Heaven point blank, was after a while clean elevated higher, and that spire or S●ear which went up from the earth, ascended after it, to encounter with it a second time.  
This continued about an hour and a half.  
At Sopham in the County of Cambridge, a Ball of wildfire fell upon the earth, which burned and spoilt about an Acre of Grain, and when it had rolled and run up and down to the terror of many people, it dissolved and left a most sulphurous stink behind it.  
Also at Camberton in the County aforesaid, divers of the Trained Bands being met at a muster, did behold the form of a spire Steeple in the Sky, with divers Swords about it.  
Also at Brandon in the County of Norfolk the inhabitants ran to behold a strange spectacle of a spire Steeple ascending up from the earth, and a Pike or Lance descending downward from heaven.  
Also at Brandon there was seen at the same time, a Navy or Fleet of ships in the air, swiftly passing under sail, with Flags and Streamers hanged out, as if they were ready to give an encounter.  
In Marshland in the County of Norfolk, within three miles of Kings Linne, a Captain and a Lieutenant, with divers other persons of credit, did hear in the time of Thunder, a sound as of a whole Regiment of Drums beating a call with perfect notes and stops, much admired at of all.  
And the like Military sound was heard in Suffolk upon the same day, and in other parts of the Eastern Association.  
In all these places there was very great Thunder, with Rain and Hailstones of extraordinary bigness and round, and some hollow within like things.
