BEING A True Relation OF A Strange and most Dreadful APPARITION Which was seen in the Air By several persons at HVLL , the third day of this present Septemb. 1654. NAMELY , Tvvo Great Battels Fought in the Air : One Army coming from the East , AND Another out of the North-West . With the maner 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 Moone , at the seven stars in Paul's Church-yard . 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 Iames Cook Corporal , Thomas Blossome , and Edward See , all souldiers belonging to the Garison 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 skie seemed to be of a fiery colour , and to cast forth many streams . Whereupon , Thomas Blossome 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 Battel 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 north-west another Army , the which seem'd 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 thorow one the other backwards and forward , in such dreadful sort , as the beholders were astonished thereat . Besides , such was the order of the Battel , 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 north-west , greater then the former , which marched directly to the place where the former Battel was fought . This Army was black : and here they perceived horse as well as foot . And now begins another Battel 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 Battel was between the black and the Eastern red Army , being , as they apprehended , the Reserve of the former Army which came forth from the north-west . These two Armies thus engaged , brake thorow 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 Battel . And when both Armies did encounter , they saw such fire and smoak , as if a dozen Cannons had been discharged together . A little beneath these Armies , not far from the earth , upon a black cloud , appeared Horse-men , and amongst them they could perceive nothing , but rising of fire and smoak , and a multitude of spears as it were standing upright . This latter Battel continued a little longer then 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 adde any thing of mine own to the Relation : Onely take notice , ( and believe it ) it is no Fiction nor Scar-crow , 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 ask'd 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 leasure 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 .
