many of that name in _Europe_, nevertheless the more probable is, that
there being many Knights of _Maltha_ born in _Provence_ (the native
Countrey of our Author) it may be believed that by the new City he
meaneth the new City of _Maltha_ called _la Valete_, hard by which there
is paths and ways digged in the Mountains, which Mountains are as if it
were a Fence and a Barricado against the Sea, or else this _Cosmus_ might
have been taken by Pyrats of _Algiers_, and there in the new City of the
_Goulette_ be put to death in the manner aforesaid.

La _Meuse_ au jour Terre de _Luxembourg_,
Descouvrira _Saturne_ & trois en _Lurne_,
Montaigne & plaine, Ville, Cité & Bourg,
_Lorrain_ Deluge, trahison par grand _hurne_.
English.
The _Maes_ by day in the Land of _Luxembourg_,
Shall discover _Saturn_, and three in the _Lurne_,
Mountain and plain, Town, City, and Countrey Town,
A _Lorrain_ flood, treason by a great _hurne_.
ANNOT.
The _Maes_ is a River that runneth through a part of _Lorrain_ and
_Luxembourg_; as for the words _Lurne_ and _hurne_ I do not understand
them, neither do I think they are to be found in all the _French_
Language, both obsolete and modern; all what I can gather out of this,
is, that a great overflowing of the River _Maes_, shall be both in
_Luxembourg_ and _Lorrain_, insomuch that three Leaden Mines (which is
meant here by _Saturn_) shall be discovered, and after that, a great
Treason shall happen in the said _Lorrain_.

Des lieux plus bas du Pais de _Lorraine_,

Et aux Cantons se seront reunis.
Transcriber’s Note: An English version was omitted from this printing,
but the annotation below is an accurate enough (if not very poetic)
translation.
ANNOT.
The sense of this is, that the lower _Lorrain_ and _Germany_ being united
together, shall have War with the other three Nations, of _Picards_,
_Normans_, and _Manceaux_, which having Besieged a Town, shall constrain
the _Lorrainers_ and _Low-germans_, to unite themselves with the Cantons
of _Switzerland_.

Au lieu ou _Laye_ & _Scelde_ se marient,

In the place where _Laye_ and _Scelde_ are united,
Shall the Nuptials be, that were long a doing.
In the place of _Antwerp_ where they draw the grape,
The young unspotted will comfort the old Age.
ANNOT.
There is fault in the Impression, for instead of _Laye_ it must be _Lis_,
which is a River that runneth through _Flanders_, and dischargeth it self
into the _Scelde_, which is the River that passeth at _Antwerp_, the
sense therefore of this Prophecy is, that in the place where the River of
_Lis_ joyneth with the _Scelde_, there shall the Nuptials be consummated
that were long a doing, and the place of _Antwerp_, where they unload the
Wines, there shall a young unspotted Lady Marry, and comfort an old man.

The three Concubines shall fight one with another a far off,
The greatest less shall remain watching,
The great _Selin_ shall be no more their Patron,
And shall call it fire, pelte, white, route.
ANNOT.
This Prophecy is concerning the _Turkish_ Empire, where three of the
great _Turks_ Concubines, which in Latine are called _Pellices_, shall
make War one against another, the great _Turk_ himself favouring neither
party.

English.
Born in this world from a stolen Concubine,
Set up at two heights by the sad news,
Shall be taken Prisoner among the Enemies,
And brought to _Malines_ and _Bruxelles_.
ANNOT.
This is concerning some Lady of quality, born of a Concubine, who
shall be set up by reason of some sad news that shall be brought,
and afterwards shall be taken Prisoner, and carryed to _Malines_ and
_Bruxelles_, two Cities of the Low-Countreys.

The unhappy Nuptials shall be celebrated,
With great joy, but the end shall be unhappy,
Husband and Mother shall scorn _Nore_,
The _Phybe_ dead, and _Nore_ more pitifull.
ANNOT.
If by _Phybe_ we understand the Admiral of _Chastillon_, and by _Nore_,
Queen _Margaret_ of _Valois_, the rest will be easie. For in the year
1572. a Match was made between _Henry_ the IV. then King of _Navarre_,
chief of the Protestant party, and _Margaret_ of _Valois_, Sister to
_Charles_ the IX. to this Wedding were the chief of the Protestant party
invited, who were there Massacred, and among the rest _Gaspard_ of
_Coligny_, Lord of _Chastillon_, and Admiral of _France_, whom he calleth
here _Phybe_. And when he saith, that _Husband and Mother shall scorn
~Nore~_, he sheweth the slight Opinion and regard that the Queen Mother
had for her Daughter, and _Henry_ the IV. for his Wife, whom he after
repudiated.

Royal Prelate bowing himself too much,
A great flood of Blood shall come out of his mouth,
The _English_ Reign by Reign respited,
A great while dead, alive in _Tunis_ like a Log.
ANNOT.
A Prelate, is a man of eminent dignity in the Church, the Royal prelate
must be a Churchman of the Royal Blood, who bowing himself too much,
shall fall into an Hæmorhagie or Flux of Blood at his Mouth. The third
Verse signifieth, that the Kingdom of _England_ shall be relieved from
some distress by another Kingdom or Prince that had been a Slave a great
while at _Tunis_, and lyen there, _dead alive like a Log of Wood_.

The exalted shall not know his Scepter
He shall put to shame the young Children of the greatest,
Never was one more dirty and cruel,
He shall banish to Black death their Spouses.
ANNOT.
This is concerning a great Tyrant, who being exalted to the dignity of a
King, shall not know how to govern; but shall slight and put to shame the
Children of the greatest Nobility, and shall banish their Wives out of
the Land; this hath a relation to the late Tyrant _Cromwell_.

In the time of mourning, when the Monarch _Selin_,
Shall make War against the young _Æmathien_,
_France_ shall quake, the Ship shall be in danger,
_Phocens_ shall be attempted, the business shall be in the West.
ANNOT.
You must observe here, that by _Æmathien_ the Author meaneth the King of
_France_, as he doth in many other places; and by _Selin_, he meaneth the
great _Turk_, because such was the name of him that lived in his time,
this being presupposed the meaning of this is, that the great _Turk_
shall fight against the King of _France_, and shall attempt _Phocens_,
which is _Marseilles_, as being a Colony of the old _Phocenses_ in
_Græcia_, which shall cause all _France_ to quake, and the Ship to be in
danger, which is _Paris_, who beareth a Ship for its Arms.

English.
In _Lyons_ five and twenty of a breadth
Five Citizens _Germans_, _Bressans_, _Latines_,
Under Noblemen shall conduct a long Train,
And shall be discovered by the barking of Mastiffs.
ANNOT.
The Marshal of St. _André_, Governour of _Lyon_ being absent, the
Protestants undertook the taking of it, at the solicitation of some
principal Lords at Court, among whom were named the Prince of _Condé_,
and the Vidame of _Chartres_, _Francis_ of _Vendosme_, Knight of the
Order. The Abbot of _Savigny_, who did supply the place of the Governour,
and was named _Antony_ of _Albon_, since that Archbishop of _Arles_,
having discovered this Conspiracy, went to surprise the undertakers, but
as he was going upon the night of the 5 of _September_, he met with some
of the confederates upon the Bridge of _Saone_, which made him retreat
with some loss.
The next day having gathered more Forces, he took three of them that were
strangers and young, the rest escaping, those three were hanged the next
_Saturday_, which was the 7 of that Month.
The Marshal being come to Town, there was Execution made upon some of the
Inhabitants, to the number of 4 that were hanged.
After that there were informations made concerning the Authors and
Abettors of the said conspiracy, and many other Citizens and strangers
were put to Prison, and besides them the Vidame of _Chartres_, who was
carryed to _Paris_, and put into the _Bastille_, and after that in
the _Tournelles_, where he died before his process was ended, the _23
December 1560_.
It is what our Author saith in this stanza; in the first Verse he saith,
that there were _five and twenty of a breadth_, of whose five and twenty
there was _five Citizens of the Town_, and the rest were _Germans,
Bressans and Italians_, of these Citizens 4 were hanged, and three of the
strangers.
Those 25 undertakers, of which the Author saith, that _under Noblemen
they shall conduct a long Train_; that is, that under the support and
favour of many Noblemen, they would undertake a thing that should not end
so soon as it proved afterwards; for although this enterprise did fail,
yet was the beginning of horrid combustions that followed afterwards.
This enterprise it seemeth was discovered by barking of Mastiffs.
The Apology for the City of _Lyon_ treateth at large of this, and nameth
all those conspirators, who for the most part were of _Germany_ and
_Geneva_.

Upon them blood and sword for a new years-gift,

ANNOT.
All these Cities are situated by the _Mediterranean_ Sea, and most of
them upon that part of it, which is called the River of _Genoa_, and
are threatned here by all the plagues above mentioned; as for the
word _nolte_ it is a barbarous one, forced here to make up the Rime in
_French_.

The conspirators discovered by a Matron.
ANNOT.
It seemeth that there will be a conspiracy of some men out of all the
above mentioned Cities, to surrender _Hungary_ (which in Latine is called
_Pannonia_) to the great Turk, but that conspiracy shall be discovered by
a Matron, that is, a grave ancient Woman.

Near _Sorbin_, to invade _Hungary_,
The Herald of _Buda_ shall come to give them notice of it,
Chief _Bizantin_, _Sallon_ of _Sclavonia_,
Shall come to turn them to the _Arabian_ Religion.
ANNOT.
This seemeth to have a relation to the precedent, and that near that
place he calleth _Sorbin_, preparations shall be made to Invade
_Hungary_, but they shall have notice of it by some body of _Buda_.
He that is called here _Chief Bizantin_, is the great Turk or his
grand Vizir, who hath his abode in _Constantinople_, anciently called

_Cydron_, _Raguse_, the City of Saint _Hieron_,
Shall make green again the Physical help,
The Kings Son dead, by the death of two _Herons_,
_Arabia_ and _Hungary_ shall go the same way.
ANNOT.
The meaning of this is, that when those three Cities named in the first
Verse shall have need of succours, and that a Kings Son shall die in
flying two _Herons_, then shall _Arabia_ and _Hungary_ be under the same
Master.

Weep _Milan_, weep _Lucques_, and _Florence_,
When the great Duke shall go upon the Chariot,
To change the Siege near _Venice_ he goeth about,
When _Colonne_ shall change at _Rome_.
ANNOT.
This Prophecy seemeth to portend the change of the See of _Rome_ in some
place near to _Venice_, and this is to happen when the great Duke of
_Tuscany_ shall ascend upon a Triumphant Chariot, and that the House of
_Colonne_ (which is the more powerfull in _Rome_) shall take his part.

Not of thy Walls, of thy blood and substance,
The sharp by Letters shall make so horrid a notch,
Sharp Iron thrust in all to the haft.
ANNOT.
This is a confirmation of the foregoing Prophecy, by which it is said
that the destruction of _Rome_ shall not be in _her Walls, blood or
substance_, but onely by Letters or Doctrine that shall put quite down
the _Roman_ Religion.

I conceive this Prophecy can be appropriated to no body better then
_Oli. Cromwel_, who is called here _the Chief of ~London~ by Reign of
~America~_, that is, by Reign of confusion, whose projects and treasons
were all brought to nought, by the victorious _Mars_ of the ever renowned
General _Monck_, who came with his Army from _Scotland_ to _London_ in
the Winter time, he is called also a false Antichrist, because he was an

Running away he shall be murdered near the bush of _Ambellon_.
ANNOT.
The question here is, whether this _neuf vieux_ in _French_ or _new old_
in _English_ be the proper name of a man, or be a Metaphor, to express a
young man of an ancient Family, when the Reader hath satisfied himself
upon that, the rest is easie enough.

This Prophecy concerneth meerly _Francis Rabelais_, who was the greatest
_Jovialist_, that is, Merry-man that ever was, and did so lash and
censure the abuses of every profession, and chiefly of the Clergy, that
to this very day he goeth among them for an Atheist, and a Prophaner of
Sacred and Civil things.

Shall be seen at that time the sports of _Hecatombe_,
Not far from the great age thousand,
That the Buried shall come out of their Graves.
ANNOT.
_Hecatombe_ signifieth a Sacrifice, wherein a hundred beasts were killed.
The sense therefore is this, that when the year a thousand seven hundred
is past, that such sport of _Hecatombe_ shall be seen again, not far
from the sixth Millenary, when the day shall rise, for it is a common
opinion among the Learned, that as God Created the World in six days, and
rested the seventh, so when the World hath lasted six thousand years, for
a thousand years before God are as one day, there shall be an Eternal
Sabbath and a Resurrection, both of the just and unjust.
