[Le never ruſt Proguofticators more,  _ 
They wrote their «Almanacks a year before ; 

Andneverſaw th' Eclips of this great Liphe, 

Which turns our day into the darkeſt niohr, 

Was it becauſe their Calcslation D 

Suterh not this preciſe Meridian ? 

' Were Norwich only in this lofſe concern'd 

Ot had his light bin only herediſcern'd, 

This might excuſe ; but where hath God reveal'd 
His name in Exgland, and this man concea'd? 
Whac though a AMereor in a Star's diſguiſe 

Fall; andnone ofthem dorh prepare our eyes, 
For ſuch poor fhghts> muſt Conſtellations 
Droptoo without Prognoſtications ? 

(If Stars ſpeak any thing) they ſure foreſaw 

This ſtrange effe® of the io ſudden rhaw; 

But durlt nor ſpeak: thar ſuch a one could die, 
Appear'd fo lictle probability.
