_England_, when the Princess _Elizabeth_ and the Duke of _Glocester_
were transported into the Isle of _Wight_, which are the two of the
seven, (for the Queen hath had seven children) and the Kings Majesty and
his Highness the Duke of _York_, were driven into the _Low-Countreis_,
being in a manner in dispair of ever coming again, and those Countreys
were much the better for the harbouring of them; in the last Verse by
_Nompelle_ I understand Anagrammatically _Monpelier_, which being taken,
there is no more hope in the League, as it did happen in the time of
_Henry_ the IV. King of _France_, who never saw the League or Covenant
quite routed, till that Town was taken; for it is familiar enough to
those kind of Prophets to make an ὕστερον πρώτερον, and joyn things past,
to those that are to come, to darken the Readers understanding, and as
the Scripture saith, _Ut videntes non videant_.

Le vieux frustré du principal espoir,

Tyran, cruel en delaissant un pire.
English.
The old man frustrated of his chief hope,
He shall attain to the head of his Empire,
Twenty months he shall keep the Kingdom with great power,
Tyrant, cruel, and having a worse one.
ANNOT.
The words of this Prophecy are plain enough, and because I cannot learn
in History that such things have come to pass yet, therefore I reckon it
among those _de futuro_.

Quand l’Escriture D. M. trouvée,
Et Cave antique a Lampe descouverte,
Loy, Roy, & Prince _Vlpian_ esprouvée,
Pavillon, Royne & Duc soubs la couverte.
English.
When the writing D. M. shall be found,
And an ancient Cave discovered with a Lamp,
Law, King, and Prince _Ulpian_ tried,
Tent, Queen and Duke under the rugge.
ANNOT.
In the year 1555. _Ferdinand Alvaro_ of _Toledo_ Duke of _Alba_, being
sent by _Charles_ the V. into _Italy_ to resist the _French_, arrived in
_June_ at _Milan_, and having gathered together, all his Forces, Besieged
the Town St. _Jago_, but _Henry_ II. King of _France_ sending some
succours by the Duke of _Aumale_, he raised up his siege, and put his
Army into Garrisons. The Duke of _Alba_ leaving the Field in this manner,
the Duke of _Aumale_ besieged _Vulpian_, wherein were 1000. souldiers
in Garrison, under the command of _Cæsar_ of _Naples_, besides the
Inhabitants. Never was a place so furiously assaulted, and so manfully
defended, so that the _French_ were many times beaten back; but at last
after 24. days siege the Duke of _Aumale_ did gloriously take it.
The Author foretelling the time of this victory, said it was when the
writing D. M. in big letters was found, that is to say, about the 11. of
_September_ after the Equinox, because in the Ephemerides, the Meridional
descension of the Planets, and chiefly of _Sol_, _Venus_, and _Mercury_
is marked with these two Letters D. M. which descension cometh to pass
after the Equinox of _Autumn_ towards the end of _September_. At the
same time was discovered an ancient Cave, wherein was found one of those
Lamps, that cannot be put out, and burns continually without any addition
of Oil, by an invention that is lost. Such another was found in the time
of _Alexander_ the VI. and _Adrian_ the VI.
The Town of _Vulpian_ was at that time tried by a King and a Prince,
_viz._ _Henry_ the II. and the Duke of _Aumale_ Prince of _Lorrain_, and
Brother to the Cardinal of _Lorrain_, and to the Duke of _Guise_.
The Author addeth, that besides these three things, _viz._ the finding
of the letters D. M. The Cave discovered the siege of _Vulpian_; there
happened a fourth one, _viz._ that a Queen and a Duke should consult
together in a Summer-house, about the important affairs of the Kingdom.
To understand this, we must suppose that Pope _Paul_ the IV. willing to
secure his own person and the Ecclesiastical State against the _Spanish_
faction, and that of the _Colonese_, did seize upon many places belonging
to the said _Colonese_, and knowing besides that the _Spaniards_ being
of the _Coloneses_ party, would not fail to come upon him, he disposed
the King of _France_ to come to his succours, so that the Queen having a
particular confidence in the Duke of _Guise_, did consult with him about
this business in some Summer-house, which the _French_ call a _Pavillon_.

_Par._ _Car._ _nersaf_, a ruine grand discorde,

English.
_Par._ _Car._ _Nersaf_, to ruine great discord,
Neither one nor the other shall be Elected,
_Nersaf_, shall have of the people love and concord,
_Ferrare_, _Colonna_, great protection.
ANNOT.
It is very hard to say what the Author meaneth by these disjunctives
_Par._ _Car._ _Nersaf_, all what can be gathered by what follows, is,
that there shall be a great variance and strife about an Election, (I
suppose of a Pope as it useth to be) and that _Nersaf_ shall have the
good will of the people, and yet none of them shall be Elected.
As for the fourth Verse, it is to be noted first that _Ferrara_ is a
strong Town in _Italy_ belonging to the Pope, and _Colonna_ is the
name of the chief Family in _Rome_, now whether _Ferrara_ shall be a
protection to _Colonna_, or _Colonna_ to _Ferrara_, we leave it to the
Reader to judge, because the Verse hath a double sense.
LXVIII.

Vieux Cardinal par le jeune deceu,
Hors de sa charge se verra desarmé,

Et l’_Aqueduct_ & le Prince embaumé.
English.
An old Cardinal shall be cheated by a young one,
And shall see himself out of his imployment,
_Arles_ do not show, a double fort perceived,
And the _Aqueduct_, and the embalmed Prince.
ANNOT.
The two first Verses are very plain, the two last not so; therefore
observe that _Arles_ is a City in _France_, in the Countrey of _Dauphine_
or _Provence_, famous for antiquity, which is forwarned here not to shew
its Fords, nor its Aqueducts, (which are buildings to convey water), nor
its embalmed Prince, which it seemeth lyeth thereabout buried. The Author
hath deprived here the Author of the reasons for why.

Aupres du jeune se vieux Ange baiser,

De trois deux l’un huitiesme _Seraphin_.
English.
Near the young one the old Angel shall bowe,
And shall at last overcome him,
Ten years equal, to make the old one stoop,
Of three, two, one, the eighth a _Seraphin_.
ANNOT.
This is the description of a grand Cheat, when an old man called here
Angel, shall stoop before a young one, whom he shall overcome at last,
after they have been ten years equal. The last Verse is Mistical, for
there is four numbers, three, two, one, which make six; and eight, which
he calleth _Seraphin_, whether by allusion to that Quire of Angels,
which some call the eight, or whether to the Order of St. _Francis_, who
calleth it self _Seraphical_, is not easie to determine.

Il entrera vilain, meschant, infame,

English.
He shall come in villaen, wicked, infamous,
To tyranise _Mesopotamia_,
He maketh all friends by an adulteress Lady,
Foul, horrid, black in his _Physiognomie_.
ANNOT.
_Mesopotamia_ is a Greek word, signifying a Countrey between two Rivers;
and though there be many Countreys so seated, yet to this day, it
properly belongeth to that Countrey, that lyeth between the two famous
Rivers _Tigris_ and _Euphrates_ near _Babylon_; the rest is easie.

English.
The number of Astronomers shall grow so great,
Driven away, bannished, Books censured,
The year one thousand six hundred and seven by sacred glomes,
That none shall be secure in the sacred places.
ANNOT.
The sense of this is clear, _viz._ that about the year 1607. the number
of Astronomers shall grow very great, of which some shall be expelled
and banished, and their Books censured and suppressed: the rest is
insignificant to me.

_Perugian_ Field, O the excessive rout,
And the fight about _Ravenna_,
Sacred passage when the Feast shall be celebrated,
The victorious vanquished, the Horse to eat up his Oats.
ANNOT.
_Perugia_ is a City in _Italy_, and so is _Ravenna_, by which it
seemeth there shall be a notable Battle fought, as was once before in
the time at _Lewis_ the XII. King of _France_ between _Gaston de Foix_
his Nephew, and _Don Raimond de Cardonne_ Vice-roy of _Naples_, for
there the _French_ got the Battle; in conclusion of which, the said
_Gaston de Foix_ pursuing a Troop of _Spaniards_ that were retiring, was
unfortunately kill’d, and so the victorious were vanquished.

A Barbarous Souldier shall strike the King,
Unjustly, not far from death,
The covetous Mother shall be the cause of it,
The Conspirator and Kingdom in great remorse.
ANNOT.
These words are so plain that they need no interpretation.
LXXIV.

En Terre neuve bien avant Roy entré,

English.
A King being entered far into a new Countrey,
Whilst his Subjects shall come to welcom him,
His perfidiousness shall find such an encounter,
That to the Citizens it shall be instead of feast and welcom.
ANNOT.
The sense of this seemeth to be, that a certain King being far got
into a new conquered Countrey, where he shall deal perfidiously with
his Subjects, that then he shall meet with such an accident, as to his
Citizens shall be instead of feast & welcom.
LXXV.

Le Pere & fils seront meurtris ensemble,

The Father and Son shall be murdered together,
The Governour shall be so in his Tent,
At _Tours_ the Mother shall be got with child by her son,
Hide the greenness with leaves Butter-flye.
ANNOT.
There is nothing hard here but the last Verse, whereby it is signified,
that after such an incest of the Mother with the Son in the City of
_Tours_ (which is a Town in _France_) the fruit of it shall be secretly
buryed, and green Turfs laid upon the place, and Leaves upon them, to
take away the knowledge of it.

More _Macelin_ then King in _England_,
Born in obscure place, by force shall reign,
Of loose disposition, without faith, without Law, the ground shall
bleed,
His time is drawing so near that I sigh for it.
ANNOT.
_Macelin_, is a Butcher or cruel man, from the Latine word _Macellum_,
which signifieth the Shambles, it is without contradiction that by this
Prophecy is plain concerning the late tyrant _Cromwel_, and his unlawful
Government.
LXXVII.

L’Antechrist bien tost trois annichilez,

English.
By Antichrist three shall shortly be brought to nothing,
His War shall last seven and twenty years,
The Hereticks dead, Prisoners banished,
Blood, humane body, water made red, Earth hailed.
ANNOT.
What he meaneth here by Antichrist is not easie to determine, for he
cannot mean the Pope, himself being a Papist, nor the great Antichrist,
whose Reign, according to the Scripture, shall last but three years and
a half, it is more likely then that this Stanza hath coherence with the
precedent, and that by it he meaneth _Henry_ the VIII. who for the space
of about 27 years before he dyed, did handle something roughly the Clergy
and Clergy-men.
LXXVIII.

English.
A _Bragamas_ with his crooked Tongue,
Shall come and break the Gods Sanctuary,
He shall open the Gates unto Hereticks,
By raising the Militant Church.
ANNOT.
_Bragamas_ is the same thing that we call now _Bragadocio_. By the Gods
Sanctuary, he meaneth the Temples of the _Romish_ Religion, who are
reputed Sanctuaries, and are full of Images, which they worship as Gods,
praying and offering Incense to them.

He that by Iron shall destroy his Father, born in _Nonnaire_,
Shall in the end carry the blood of _Gorgon_,
Shall in a strange Countrey make all so silent,
That he shall burn himself and his intent.

_Nonnaire_ and _Gorgon_ are two barbarous words, as for the sense of that
and the rest, he that shall be able to read the words, shall be as wise

English.
The blood of the innocent Widow and Virgin,
So many evils committed by the means of that great Rogue,
Holy Images, dipt in burning wax Candles,
For fear no body shall be seen to stir.
ANNOT.
What he meaneth by the great Rogue is not obvious, but the main drift of
this Stanza seemeth to be, to foretel the abuses that should be offered
to the Popish Images by the Protestant party, as it was done in the time
of the Civil Wars of _France_, and a little while after our Author had
written his Prophecies.
By the great Rogue, he meaneth some chief Commander of the Protestant
party, that were in those days, as the Prince of _Condé_, the Admiral of
_Castilon_, or his Brother _Dandelot_.

English.
The new Empire in desolation,
Shall be changed from the Northern Pole,
The commotion shall come from _Sicily_,
To trouble the undertaking, tributary to _Philip_.
ANNOT.
This threatneth the Empire that now is in _Germany_, of a great
desolation, and to be removed from its place, and threatneth also the
Island of _Sicily_ of a fearful commotion, which shall trouble the
undertakings of _Philip_, that is, King of _Spain_, because they usually
are called by that name.

In conclusion shall have nothing but leave to be gone,
Piercing poison and Letters in his Collar,
Shall be seised, escape, and in danger.

The words of this are easie to be understood, but not who should be that

_dry_, _cringing_ and _fawning_.

Le plus grand voile hors du port de _Zara_,

The greatest Sail out of the Port of _Zara_,
Near _Bizance_ shall make his undertaking,
There shall be no loss of foes or friends,
The third shall make a great pillage upon the two.
ANNOT.
By _Zara_ I suppose that the _Venetians_ are meant, who have a very
strong Town of that name, situated in _Dalmatia_. _Bizance_ is
_Constantinople_, as we have said before; now whether this Prophecy was
fulfilled when the _Venetians_ took the Island of _Tenedos_, some 20
years ago, which is not far from _Constantinople_, or whether it is to
come, I dare not assert.

English.
_Paterne_ shall have out of _Sicily_ a cry,
All the preparations of the Gulph of _Trieste_,
That shall be heard as far as _Trinacry_,
Of so many Sails, fly, fly, the horrid plague.
ANNOT.
It hath been impossible for me to make any sense of this, and therefore
I believe that it is falsely printed, and that instead of _Paterne_, it
should be _Palerme_, which is the chief Town in _Sicily_. _Trinacry_ is
_Sicily_ it self, so called, _quod tria habeat, άκρα seu promontoria_.

Between _Bayonne_ and Saint _John de Lux_,
Shall be put down the promoting of _Mars_,
From the _Hunix_ of the North, _Nanar_ shall take away _Lux_,
Then shall be suffocated in his bed without help.
ANNOT.
_Bayonne_ is a Town in _France_, upon the frontiers of _Spain_, and Saint
_John de Lux_ is the utmost frontiere of _France_, that way, (that being
supposed) he saith, that about Saint _John de Lux_, the promoting of the
war shall be set down; that is, that peace shall be made, as it was about
seven or eight years ago between _France_ and _Spain_, and the Marriage
concluded between the King and the _Infanta_. The two last Verses are
nonsensical, and only set down to make up the rhime.

By _Arnani_, _Tholose_, and _Villefranche_,
An infinite deal of people by the _Aprian_,
Cross Rivers, noise upon the Bridge and plank,
Come all into _Bayonne_ crying _Bichoro_.
ANNOT.
_Arnani_, _Tholose_, and _Villefranche_ are Towns of a Province in
_France_ called _Languedoc_. Mont _Adrian_ is a Mountain thereabout, and
_Hutin_ is an old _French_ word, signifying noise and strife, the sense
then of this Prophecy is, that by those Towns and Mountains, shall pass
an infinite multitude of people, with a great noise and strife, and shall
come and enter into _Bayonne_, every one crying in that Countrey Language
_Bichoro_, which is as much as to say, _Victory_.

Charge given, and a journey of death,

ANNOT.
_Sardinia_ is an Island in the _Mediterranean_ Sea, now in the possession

That he might not fall into the hands of his Uncle,
That had murdered his Children for to rule,
Taking away from the people, and putting his foot upon _Peloncle_,
Dead and drawn among armed Horses.

This signifieth that an Uncle shall murder his Nephews Children, that he
may Reign, and that the said Nephew shall withdraw, and save himself from
the said Uncle. The rest is altogether obscure, if not absurd.

When of the crossed, one of a troubled mind,
In a sacred place shall see a horny Oxe,
By Virgin Pork then shall his place be double,

ANNOT.
By the crossed is understood some order of Knight-hood, who for the most
part wear that Badge, one of which being mad, and seeing in a Church a
Horny Oxe come, by a Virgin Hog shall be kept from harm, or rescued by a
Hog or Sow that was a Virgin, and it seems crossed the said Oxe, that he
should not gore the Knight, that then such order of Knighthood shall be

Where the crossed shall be almost united,
The two _Brassiers_ met in _Pisces_,
And a great number punished by a Flood.
ANNOT.
_Rhodanus_ in Latine is the River of _Rhosne_, which cometh from
_Switzerland_, and passing through the Lake of _Geneva_, runneth to
_Lyon_, it seemeth then that in those Fields that are about that River
there, will be a fearful inundation, when the _Brassiers_ (or rather
_Croziers_, which is a constellation so called) shall meet in _Pisces_,
which is one of the twelve Signs of the _Zodiack_.

Far from the Kingdom a hazardous journey undertaken,
He shall lead a great Army, which he shall make his own,
The King shall keep his prisoners, and pledges,
At his return he shall plunder all the Countrey.
ANNOT.
These obscure words signifie no more but that a King shall send a great
Army far from his Kingdom, the Commander of which Army shall make the
Army his own, which the King hearing, shall seize upon the Commanders
Relations, and keep them Prisoners and Hostages, for which the said
General being angry, shall at his return spoil the Countrey.

Seven months and no more, he shall obtain the Prelacy,
By his decease he shall cause a great Schisme,
Another shall be seven months chief Justice,
Near _Venice_ peace and union shall grow again.
ANNOT.
By this Prophecy three things are foretold, the first is of a Pope that
shall sit but seven months, at whose death there will be a great Schisme;
the second is of a great Governour or Chief Justice, such as were called
by the ancient _Romans Prætores_, shall be in authority also but seven
months; and the third, that hard by _Venice_ all these differences shall
be composed, and peace made again.

Of seven months, and his Army overthrown,
_Spaniards_ shall be spoiled by _Albaneses_,
By delaying; loss in giving the Battle.
ANNOT.
It is very difficult, if not impossible to tell what our Author meaneth
by the Lake, wherein the most dear was thrown, and lost his Army. The
_Albaneses_ are a Nation between the _Venetians_ and _Greece_, now for
the most part subject to the said _Venetians_.
