The body of the said Marshal was buried at St. _Germain de l’Auxerrois_,
but the people digged it out, and dragged it to the new Bridge, where
they hanged it by the feet upon a Gibbet, having cut off his Nose,
his Ears and his privy parts, then they took him down, and dragged him
through the Town, and afterwards burnt it. Thus did perish he that was
worth about two Millions of Pounds Sterling, and pretended to make his
house perpetual and Sovereign. The new Officers that had governed the
State from the 24 of _November_ to the 24 of _April_ 1617. were arrested
in their houses, and the old ones put in again, and the Princes called
back again to the Court.

French.
Le _Mercurial_ non de trop longue vie,
Six cens & huit & vingt, grand maladie,
Et encor pis danger de feu & d’eau,
Son grand amy lors luy sera contraire,
De tels hazards se pourroit bien distraire,
Mais bref, le ser luy sera son Tombeau.
English.
The _Mercurial_ not too long lived,
Six hundred and eight and twenty, a great sickness,
And what is worse a danger of fire and water,
His great friend then shall be against him,
He might well avoid those dangers,
But a little after, the Iron shall make his Sepulcher.
ANNOT.
This is concerning _Lewis_ the XIII. King of _France_, who fell
dangerously sick of the Plague at _Lions_, about the year 1628. after
that went with his Army into _Savoy_, where he escaped many dangers of
fire and water. As for the Verse it must not be understood, as if he had
been killed, but that the cares he took about his Armies should shorten
his days. The fourth Verse is to be understood of the Lord _Bellingham_,
then favorite to the King, who forsook him in his sickness, for which he
was afterwards disgraced, and could never come into favour again.
XXV.
French.
Six cens & six, six cens & neuf,
Un Chancelier gros comme un Bœuf
Vieux comme le _Phœnix_ du Monde,
En ce Terroir plus ne luira,
De la Nef doubly passera,
Au Champs _Elysiens_ faire ronde.
English.
Six hundred and six, six hundred and nine,
A Chancellor big as an Oxe,
Old as the _Phœnix_ of the World,
Shall shine no more in this Countrey,
Shall pass from the Ship of forgetfulness,
Into the _Elysian_ Fields to go the round.
ANNOT.
Six and nine joyned together makes 15. the meaning of this therefore is,
that about the year 1615. should die the Chancellor of _France_, who was
then _Nicolas Brulart_ Lord of _Sillery_ a very corpulent man.
XXVI.
French.
Deux freres sont de l’ordre Ecclesiastique,
Dont l’un prendra pour la _France_ la pique,
Encor un coup si l’an six cens & six,
N’est afflige d’une grand maladie,
Les Armes en main jusques six cens & dix,
Gueres plus loing ne s’estendant sa vie.
English.
Two Brothers are of the Ecclesiastical Order,
One of which shall take up the Pike for _France_,
Once more, is in the year six hundred and six,
He be not afflicted with a great sickness,
The Weapons in his hands till six hundred and ten,
His Life shall reach not much further.
ANNOT.
In the year 1606. there was two Brothers of the House of _Joyeuse_, one
called _Francis_ Cardinal of _Joyeuse_, and the other a Capuchin Frier,
the rest of the Brothers being dead without issue; Father Angel got a
dispensation from the Pope to go out of his Covent, and to Marry, that
the Family might not be extinguished, and so turned Courtier and Souldier
again, till he had got a Daughter, who was afterwards married to the Duke
of _Guise_; after that, remembring his Vows, he turned Capuchin again,
and a little while after died, coming from _Rome_ to _Paris_.
XXVII.
French.
Celeste seu du costé d’Occident,
Et du Midy courir jusqu’au Levant,
Vers demy morts sans point trouver racine,
Troisiesme Age a _Mars_ le Belliqueux,
Des _Escarboucles_ on verra briller feux,
Age _Escarboucle_, & a la fin famine.
English.
A Cœlestial fire on the West side,
And from the South shall run to the East,
Warm, half dead, and incapable to find Roots,
The third Age to _Mars_ the Warriour,
Out of _Carbuncles_ fires shall be seen to shine,
The Age shall be a _Carbuncle_, but in the end famine.
ANNOT.
This signifies nothing but the troubles that were all _France_ over, from
the year 1620. to the year 1628. when _Rochel_ was taken, and the great
famine that was in the year 1626.
XXVIII.
French.
L’An mil six cens & neuf ou quatorziesme
Le vieux _Charon_ sera Pasques en Caresme,
Six cens & six par escrit le mettra,
Le Medecin de tout cecy s’estonne,
A mesme temps assigné en personne,
Mais pour certain l’un deux comparoistra.
English.
In the year a thousand six hundred and nine or fourteen,
The old _Charon_ shall Celebrate _Easter_ in Lent,
Six hundred and six shall put it in writing,
The Physician wondereth at all this.
At the same time being Cited in person,
But for certain, one of them shall appear.
ANNOT.
This signifieth that about the time mentioned by the Author, some great
one should be very sick in Lent, and should eat flesh, which is called
here to _Celebrate Easter in Lent_; and that his Physician wondering
at it should fall sick himself, and that without fail, one of them two
should die.
XXIX.
French.
Le Griffon Se peut apprester,
Pour a l’ennemy resister,
Er renforcer bien son Armée,
Autrement l’Elephant viendra,
Qui d’un abord le surprendra,
Six cens & huit, Mer enflammée.
English.
The Griffin may prepare himself,
To resist the Enemy,
And to strengthen his Army,
Otherways the Elephant shall come,
Who on a sudden shall surprise him.
Six hundred and eight, the Sea shall be inflamed.
ANNOT.
By the Griffin was meant the _Hollanders_, who were warned here to beware
of the Elephant, that is, the _Spaniard_, and to strengthen their Army
for fear of being surprised.
The last Verse signifieth, that in the year 1608. there should be a
notable Sea-fight, which was then frequent enough between the said
_Hollanders_ and _Spaniard_.
XXX.
French.
Dans peu de temps Medicin du grand mal,
Et la Sangsue d’ordre & rang inegal,
Mettront le feu a la branche d’Olive,
Poste courir d’un & d’autre costé,
Et par tel feu leur Empire accosté,
Se rallumant du franc finy salive.
English.
Within a little while the Physician of the great disease,
And the Leech, of order and rank unequal,
Shall set fire to the branch of Olive,
Posts shall run to and fro,
And with such fire their Empire acquainted,
Shall kindle again with the _French_ finished spittle.
ANNOT.
By the Physitian of the great disease, is meant the King of _France_;
and the Leech the King of _Spain_, so that it is foretold here, how they
shall set fire to the branch of Olive, that is, shall break the Peace and
fall to War, which in the year 1636. when upon the imprisoning of the
Archbishop of _Triers_ by the King of _Spain_, because he had put himself
under the _French_ Protection, the King of _France_ sent an Armv of
40000. men in the _Low-Countreys_, to come with the Prince of _Orange_ at
_Mastricht_, which quarrel hath continued till the Marriage of the King
of _France_ with the Infanta of _Spain_, Daughter to _Philip_ the IV. The
last Verse is forced in, only to make up the rime.
XXXI.
French.
Celuy qui a les hazards surmouté,
Qui fer, feu, eau, na jamais redouté,
Et du Pais bien proche du _Basacle_,
D’un coup de fer tout le Monde eftonné,
Par Crocodil estrangement donné,
Peuple ravy de voir un tel spectacle.
English.
He that hath overcome the dangers,
That hath never feared Iron, Fire nor Water,
And of the Countrey near the _Basacle_,
By a stroke of Iron (all the World being astonished),
By a Crocodile strangely given,
People will wonder to see such a spectacle.
ANNOT.
This Prophecy may admit of two Interpretations; the first, that
_Henry_ the IV. who was born in the Province of _Bearn_, not far from
_Thoulouze_, the chief City of _Languedoc_, wherein there is a place upon
the River called _Basacle_, where the Mills are, who was stobbed with a
knife by _Francis Ravillac_ in the year 1610.
The other is of the last Duke of _Montmorency_, who being Governour of
_Languedoc_, took up Arms against the King, in the behalf of the Duke of
_Orleans_, for which he was beheaded at _Thoulouse_ at the solicitation
of Cardinal _Richelieu_, which happened about the year 1632.
XXXII.
French.
Vin a foison tres-bon pour les Gendarmes,
Pleurs & soupirs plaintes, cris, & alarmes,
Le Ciel fer ses Tonnerres pleuvoir,
Feu, eau, & sang le tout meslé ensemble,

Vivant na veu ce quil pourra bien voir.
English.
Plenty of Wine, very good for Troopers,
Tears, and sighs, complaints, cries, and alarums,
Heaven shall cause its Thunders to rain,
Fire, water and blood, all mixed together,
The Suns Heaven, quaketh and shaketh for it,
No living man hath seen what he may see then.
ANNOT.
This great plenty of Wine happened in the year 1634. at which time there
was in _France_ such plenty of Grapes, that half of them perished for
want of Vessels to put them in, and I remember very well, that then
whosoever would bring a Poinchon Vessel, which is the third part of a
Tun, might have it filled with Grapes for half a Crown, and that being
my self at that time at a Town of _Burgundy_, called _Beaune_, where
the best Wine of _France_ groweth, four of us had one Pottle of Wine
_English_ measure for one half penny. The rest signifieth no more but
the miseries that happened in _Germany_, by the Wars that the King of
_Sweden_ brought in about the same time.
XXXIII.
French.
Bien peu apres sera tres-grand misere,
De pou de Bled qui sera sur la Terre,

Et mangeront Racine & gland du Bois.
English.
A little after shall be a great misery,
Of the scarcity of Corn that shall be upon the ground
Of _Dauphine_, _Provence_, and _Vivarois_,
In _Vivarois_ is a poor presage,
Father of son shall be Antropophage,
And shall eat Roots and Acorns of the Wood.
ANNOT.
This came to pass when the Duke of _Rohan_ headed the Protestant party,
and made those Provinces the seat of the Civil Wars in _France_, about
the year 1640. or 1642.
XXXIV.

Princes & Seigneurs tous se feront la guerre,

Se ressentiront sur la bourse sans fond.
English.
Princes and Lords shall war one against another
Cousin German, the Brother against the Brother,
The Arby finished of the happy _Bourbon_,
The Princes of _Hierusalem_ so lovely,
Of the enormous and execrable fact committed
Shall ressent upon the bottomless Purse.
ANNOT.
This foretelleth of the Wars that were to be between the Princes and
Lords a little after the death of _Henry_ the IV. when the Marshal
d’_Ancre_ took upon him the administration of affairs by the favour of
the Queen Regent _Mary_ of _Medicis_.
XXXV.
French.
Dame par mort grandement atristée,
Mere & tutrice au lang qui la quittée,

Dieu tout puissant les garde des malins.
English.
A Lady by death greatly afflicted,
Mother and Tutor to the Blood that hath left her,
Ladies and Lords made Orphans,
By Asps and by Crocodiles,
Shall strong holds, Castles and Towns be surprised,
God Almighty keep them from the wicked.
ANNOT.
That great Lady afflicted by death, and Mother and Tutor to the Blood
that left her was _Mary_ of _Medicis_, Wife to _Henry_ the IV. who after
the death of her Husband was much troubled in her regency by her own Son
_Lewis_ the XIII. and several great Lords of his party whence did follow
the Battle of _Pont de Cé_.
XXXVI.
French.
La grand rumeur qui sera par la _France_,
Les impuissans voudront avoir puissance,
Langue emmiellée & vrais Cameleons,

Dont la morsure semblera Scorpions.
English.
The great rumor that shall be through _France_,
The impuissants would fain have power,
Honey Tongues, and true Camelions,
Bourefeux, and lighters of Candles,
Magpies and Jays, carriers of news,
Whose biting shall be like that of Scorpions.
ANNOT.
This hath a relation to the precedent, and expresseth further the misery
of those times.
XXXVII.

English.
The Weak and powerfull shall be at great variance,

the interpretation to every ones liberty.

By Water, by Fire, and by great sickness,
The Purveyor to the hazard of his life,
Shall know how much is worth the Quintal of Wood,
Six hundred and fifteen, or the nineteen,
There shall be graven of a great Prince the fifth,
The immortal name upon the foot of the Cross.
ANNOT.
By the Purveyor is meant the King of _France_, as we have said before.
The great Prince the V. was _Paul_ the V. who was foretold he should die
about the year 1615. 1619.
XXXIX.
French.
Le Pourvoieur de Monstre sans pareil,

And be favorised by the great Eternal God,
Shall quickly become Heir of his Province.
ANNOT.
This concerneth the present King of _France_ _Lewis_ the XIV. who hath

attempted.

But it shall be from six hundred and ten years.
ANNOT.
That great City where the first man is, is _Amsterdam_, because the first
Letter and the last Sylable of it maketh _Adam_: But of her affliction
by Fire and Water, and of her being relieved by the _French_ in the year
1610. I can find nothing in the History; those that are better furnished
with Books than I am, may chance to satisfie themselves and others,
better than I can do.

ANNOT.
This little Corner and Provinces revolted are _Holland_, and the rest of
the United Provinces, who are threatned here with many troubles, as they

Shall fight one against another, and all for a Lady.
ANNOT.
That great City mentioned here, is _Paris_, which is threatned of another
St. _Bartholomew_’s day, which was fatal to the Protestants in _France_,
for upon that day in the year 1572. there was a general Massacre made
of them through all _France_, insomuch, that in _Paris_ alone there was
above ten thousand slain.
As for those Towns here named that are to fight about a Lady, I cannot
