Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Two sunnes.In the octaues of Pentecost before this great death, in the first houre of the day, there appeared two sunnes, the true sunne & another, as it were a coun|terfeit sunne: but so apparentlie, that hard it was to the common people, to discerne the one from the o|ther. The skilfull also were compelled by instruments to distinguish the one from the other: in taking their altitudes and places, whereby in the end they found the new apparition, as it were, to wait vpon the pla|net, and so continued by the space of certeine houres. At length when the beholders (of whom Wil. Paruus that recorded things in that age was one) had well wearied their eies in diligent marking the maner of this strange appearance, the counterfeit sunne va|nished awaie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 ¶ This strange woonder was taken for a signifi|cation of that which followed, that is to say, of war, famine and pestilence: or to say the truth, it betoke|ned rather the continuance of two of those mischiefs. For warre and famine had sore afflicted the people before that time, and as yet ceassed not: but as for the pestilence, it began soone after the strange sight, whereof insued such effect, as I haue alreadie re|hearsed.
