Tires years before Charles was beheaded
Lilly wrote that before long king would
die. When the King was beheaded Lilly
thanked God for having allowed him 10 fore
tell the event When MS second wife died he
gave expression % no feelings u grief, ex
planning that ne mOurned when the future
Was revealed 20 him. The horoscope showed
him his third wife and ms period Of widower-
hood was very brief He claimed 20 have
foretold the restoration Of Charles II, tho
plague and fire OF London, and, indeed,
nearly every event OF his time. Finally
Lilly went INTO the country and worked UP a
large practice as faith healing physician.
Among those disconnected by Lilly's as
sumption of power and his unmitigated i'm
pudence was one William Hodges. a country
schoolmaster with n great reputation for be
ing able 10 read future happenings i'll the
glass. For long time Hodges honored the
man; then he mligned him, and finally he
admitted that Lilly could do more with the
stars than be could with the crystal. Hodges
professed 10 have frequent interviews with
the Angel Gabriel, Raphael and Aries, and
his only regret was that be could not predict
many victories for the royalists, with whom
he very heartily sympathized One John
Scott, in the employ OF Lilly, once spent a
few days with Hodges. The latter produced
his favorite glass, and Scott, looking into liz
said:

red waistcoat, drawing a can of beer"
She will be your wife, cried Hodges.
YOU are mistaken, sir rejoined Scott.

to inarry tall gentlewoman in the Old
Bailey.
You viii marry the red woman replied
Hodges with an air of imperturbable assIIr-
ance, which subsequent events amply justi.
ned. When Scott arrived at the Old Bailey
he found that the tall Sen:lew woman had taken
10 herself another husband. Two years later
he was travelling in Kent-and called at a wav-
side hostelry for light refreshments. The
young lady who brought in ms crust Of bread
and piece Of cheese and the tankard Of home
brewed ale was conspicuous for having red
hair and a red waistcOat, and was the Origi-
nal of the picture he had seen in the glass
