The same Author writeth in his xxvi. chapter, That in the yeare of our Lord .1280. as one of the =Plebans= (as they call them) belonging to the churche of _Tigurine_ preached to the people, the graue stone of the tumbe or sepulchre of the two martires =Felix= and =Regula=, patrones of the same place, violently brake asunder, no man mouing or touching it, giuing a horrible sound like vnto thunder, so that the people were no lesse astonished and afraide, than if the vaute of the Churche had fallen downe. And he saith, that the same yeare, the third day of October, the greater part of the citie of =Tigurum= was brent with fire, and moreouer, that sedition was moued amongst the Citizens, for certaine Ecclesiastical disciplines, and for the Imperiall Banne (as they terme it.) In the yeare of our Lord .1440. the twelfe day of December, at yͤ dedication of the foresaid churche, about midnight, there was the like noise hearde, and immediatly after followed ciuill warres, which the _Tigurins_ held with vncertaine successe against the other =Heluetians=, for the space of seuen yeares and more. The same writer in the .33. Chap. hath, that at the same time in the yeare of our Lorde .1444. before that valiaunt battaile, which a feawe =Heluetians= fought against the innumerable companie of =Lewes= Dolphin of =Fraunce=, fast by the wals of =Basill=, in the time of the generall Councell, there was hearde certaine nightes about those places, the alarme of Souldiours, the clattering of harneys, and the noyse of men encountring togither. &c. Here I purposely omit many such like examples, for there are many bookes, both of auncient and also of newe writers, touching straunge signes and wonders, wherein these may be redde. CHAP. XVIII. It is proued by testimonies of holy scripture, that spirites are sometime seene and heard, and that other straunge matters do often chaunce. [Sidenote: Luke 14.] Yet perchaunce it will be obiected vnto vs, that we bring no testimony out of holy scripture, touching this matter: especially to proue, that Spirits do oftentimes appeare vnto men. I answer, that truth it is, There are fewe things hereof in the scriptures, and yet notwithstanding somewhat is to be redde in them. It is read in S. =Matthew= his fourtéenth Chapter, of Christs Disciples, that when in the night season, by reason of a contrary wind, they were in great danger of drowning in the lake of =Genazareth=, and that in the dawning of the day, the Lord walked on the water, they being afraide, cried out, supposing they sawe a Spirit. Hereof we gather, that they knew well inough, that Spirits appeared vnto men vpon sea and land.
