The Fountain of Life Opened

Such a preternatural Eclipse is remembered in no other History. For it was not in time of conjunction, but opposition; the Moon being then at full. From the sixth, to the ninth hour the Sun and Moon were together in the midst of heaven; but in the evening she appeared in the East, her own place, opposite to the Sun. And then miraculously returning from East to West, did not pass by the Sun and set in the West before it; but kept it company for the space of three hours, and then returned to the East again. ⟨p. 511⟩And whereas in all other natural Eclipses, the Eclipse always begins on the western part of the body of the Sun, and that part is also first cleared; it was quite contrary in this; for though the Moon were opposite to the Sun, and distant from it the whole breadth of heaven; yet with a miraculous swiftness it overtook the Sun, and darkened first the Eastern part of it; and soon prevailed over its whole body. Which caused darkness over all the the Land, that is say some over the whole Earth, or as others, over the whole Land of Jewry. Or as others, over the whole Horizon, and all places of the same altitude, and latitude. Which is most probable.
