the birth of the Antichrist:by sounds in the air like the discharging of Ordenance, by strange obscurity in the air, by the fall of divers Towers and by a monstrous birth which was taken out of the dead mother, the childs head was covered with a peece of flesh like a helmet which could be eafily taken off, he was cloathed with a skin like a souldiers jacquet , with round kernels like bullets in it , he had also boots on his legs.
