presumption of all Gods Saints if they do not use all possible means for the casting off the yoke of usurpation and tyranny From my Captivity in Sterling Castle this 8. of Jan. 1651. J. DOUGLAS Since the writing of this Declaration the prophetical Scot having received advertisement that the King was crowned desired to speak with his Keeper who coming to him took him by the hand uttering these words My bony Lad and prerogative Goaler I Understond that your good Stuart is crowned and that he intends to cause a great Army forthwith to march against the English Saints but I tell thee he hath had such a Dream in relation to them that his Majestical spirits are not a little danted and withall take notice that when he marcheth over Sterling-Bridge to give them battel the tame and domestigne fowls as Hens Geese Peacocks and the like shall all vanish and fly to the Mountains and become exceeding wild but after the fight is over they shall all of them return again to their respective places where formerly they were bred up The Goaler hearing this reproved him and swore by his soul he was a mad man and so lockt the doors and departed but within two days after he came to him again having heard what the dream was and asked him whether he could expound the Kings Dream which he formerly told him of he answered yes well pray let me hear it then quoth the Goaler why said Prophet Douglas the same night following that he was crowned falling into a slumber he dreamed that he should never wear the Crown of England and Ireland c. VVith that the Goaler shooke his head and departed and acquainted the Governour with the miraculous things revealed by the Prophet insomuch that the said Governour seemed to be very well satisfied therewith and ordered him fire and other Provisions which before he was restrained of but it is with as much secresie that may be The Dream before hinted at is said to be thus That on the second of Jan. in the morning many of the Nobles of Scotland went to give the King a visit and coming into his Bed-chamber according to their usual Custome said Good morrow my Liege for all day but finding him to be somewhat sad the Lord Ogleby asked him the reason and cause of his melancholy humour who replyed That he was much troubled the last night and that in a slumber he fell into a Dream at which instance he espyed a poor Spider with one Crown as it were hanging over its head transcending and working her self lower and lower by a Cobweb-thread and at last he espyed two other Crowns at the end of the thread and the Spider endeavouring to work her self down to them imediately fell and lost all upon which awaking he began to meditate and commune with himself what had been suggested to him by apparation in a Dream and upon serious cogitancy thereupon these thoughts possessed him That upon the adventuring one Crown to gain two he was very doubtful he should hazard the losse of three c. But the Lord Ogleby put it off with a laughter saying that Dreams were but fables c. The Scot is now more full of prophetical Predictions then Martial actions for another of their gude Lairds hath foretold the dread and terrour that shall befall them this year 16●5 by the English and moreover he doth further affirm That the Son of the Eagle shall in this ensuing year have his wings so close cut by an English Rampart that he shall be wholly subdued and utterly discomfited and deprived of all earthly bliss and happiness and that after three Battels fought for the faith the Land shall be quite over-run and conquered and then there shall be a firm and universal peace throughout three Nations of Scotland England and Ireland FINIS
