And what is that which thou boastest? the knowledge of that terrible day, when all flesh shall appear before the Judge. Even of that time, which God hath put in his own power. O vain man, thou knowest not thine own •aie, thou knowest not when thy soul shall be taken from thee. By what helps, and means camest thou unto this knowledge? by reading the writings of the Apostles? by reading the Gospel of Christ, or any part of the word of GOD? No GOD wot, thou hast no great skill in this learning. Thou hast it from Manilius, Maternus, ⟨p. 184⟩Albumazar or Haly. What is Manilius, Maternus, Albumazar and Haly? What are they but Heathens, Paynims, and Infidels? Were they not void of all knowledge of God? were they not the enemies of the cross of Christ? these never believed in God, how could they then know that day, when he would judge the world? Let thy common reason reform thee. Can Saturn and Mars know this, when the Angels of God cannot know it?
