Secondly, The number of things is of the same nature: _Nostradamus_ doth often calculate it; he reckoneth fourteen Confederates for the service of _Henry_ IV. in the City of _Puy_: ten great Ships prosecuting extreamly the Admiral in the Battle of _Lepanto_: five Ships taken from the _Spaniard_ by those of _Diepe_, under _Henry_ II. nine hundred thousands _Mores_ that went out of _Spain_ under _Henry_ IV. three hundred and fifty thousands killed under _Charles_ IX. and _Henry_ III. three saved at the taking of a Town in _Hungary_ by the _Turks_: nine separated from the company of Seditious, that were to be put to death, three Princes of _Turky_ Massacred, and the fourth being the youngest saved; thirty Conspirators upon _London_ Bridge, against the Majesty of King _Charles_ I. and such like. Thirdly, We find in these Prophecies, the Prodigies that have no other causes in nature, then the meer will of God; such as Comets are, the casting of monstrous Fishes by the Sea upon the Land, the Armies in the Air, the speaking of Dogs, the birth of Monsters, and such like. Fourthly, We find in those Prophecies those actions that are purely indifferent; for example, that the King of _England_ did appear upon a Scaffold without his Doublet; that in the place where he was beheaded, another man had been killed three days before; that _Libertat_ went a Hunting with a Greyhond, and a Blood-hond; that the two little Royals were conducted to St. _Germain_, rather then to any other place, and such like. Fifthly, We find the Birth of several particular persons that were born after his death. Sixthly, The Governments of Places given by the free will of Kings to such and such. All these things cannot be known by judicial Astrology, seeing that in Heaven there is neither Names, nor Numbers, nor extraordinary Prodigies: seeing also that judicial Astrology presupposeth the Birth of persons, that one may foretel their future actions; the same things are also unknown to Satan, for the Angelical species know nothing of individual things, but under the notion of possible, and not of future. Whence I conclude with this irrefragable Argument, that the Author hath known many several things that are not written in the Heavenly Book, nor represented to him by Angelical Species, therefore he hath known them from God himself. The Author himself in his Epistle to his Son _Cæsar Nostradamus_ confesseth, that he hath foretold many things by Divine Virtue and Inspiration. And a little after he saith, that the knowledge of those things, which meerly depends from free will, cannot be had either by humane auguries, nor by any other humane knowledge, nor by any secret virtue that belongeth to sublunary things, but only by a Light, belonging to the Order of Eternity.
