The coblers new prophesie: or, New news for England. Wherein are strange and wonderful things foretold, that will certainly come to pass once or never. Strange fancies oft from the unthinking flow, and shepherds oft by wandring, fires fore-know; changes in empire, storms of state, fierce wars, civil commotions, and domestick jars: if they, or star-gazers, can tell such things, why may not we, when ale to thought gives wings? Astrologers alledge it is their trade, and why not ours, since gentle-craft gives aid? To the tune of, The wandring Iew's chronicle
