Camden tells us the Arms of the Shagburies in Warwick-shire, being Stars, 1are found engraven in the very stones within their Manor of Shagbury; Whether that be true or no, I know not; but sure I am that the Arms of the Infinite God, his eternal power, manifold wisdom, and matchless goodness, are so plainly written on his works in the World, in that first volume of Creation, that he that runs may read them.
