the English should unjustly detain as Enemies what they now protect from the French as Friends If they can hold the United Provinces in security under the Prince of Orange so nearly Allied to the British Crown it is enough and that I think cannot be denied to be fairly promised in these Predictions § 60. Grebner 69 Banner is thus inscribed in that Family In comitum Imperii Liones cum Principis Gulielmi Uraniae silio Mauricio felici Heroi socianti se alicui Daniae de stirpe § 61. And subscribed thus Hoc vexillum de fratribus quoque Uraniae Principis corum posteris Illustrissimis intelligendum His words of them are these Leones nostri audaces in prima acie fremunt unde nobis potentia crescit Gloria Fama augescit I know not whether formerly the Family of Orange did Intermarry with any Descendent from a Daughter of Denmark as here is intimated it is sufficiently known this Princess was by her Great Grand-mother Queen Ann of that Family And if the Prince of Orange as he here predicts must lead the Forelorn of the Northern Army as he manifestly musters them with the Auxilaries of England their growing Estate and Honour must be by their Aid and so shews who is to be the Leading Monarch § 62. To these let me add one out of Drabritius who is otherwise thought partial too much unto the French but perhaps his mistake was that he attributed that to the French King which indeed belonged to the King of Great Britain who is indubitably right Heir and King of France and of the Ancient Royal Line as is manifest by his Gift of Healing c. But of this more largely in the next Part. § 63. Anno. 1657. May 31. Pag. 473. This Enthusiast hath these words Papae capiti coronam posui testaceum similemque imponam Hispano cum delaceravero Regnum ejus Cujus partem accipient Augli etiam fideles mei quod cogitare nec ipsi poterant nec Mundus I think nothing could be said more true than what he here pretends to be spoken by Christ himself that the English were and are so far from any desire to rend the Spanish Monarchy that their greatest Ambition testified in Parliament at this Day is to preserve it and the World will bear them Witness that never any such thoughts entered their Minds If they hold as Cautions for their and their own Peace and that of Christendom some Ports for convenience of transmitting Aids to them it will content them and fulfil this Prediction Cottor 1622.

Who this Cotter was and what some Learned Men have judged of his Visions and Prophecies is set down at the end of his 6th Chapter Amongst his Visions in that daied as above I find these following words which manifestly related to Esdras's Lion out of the Wood and are to me an Indication that what Spirit soever did dictate this the foregoing and following Prophecies they are for the substance of them only ecchoes to Esdras and indeed considering what Esdras the Syhils some holy Men in several Ages former and latter have predicted according to Scripture Prophecies and what I have observed of the state of Europe below since Luther's Reformation it could not be difficult for an humane Spirit contemplating in some rapture of Meditation and in some sort out of the Body God's Justice Mens Wickedness Romes Bloodiness the Protestants Revolt Situation Resolution Liberty Necessity Weapons Spiritual Rational natural Success under their Zisca's in Bohemia Piedmont Holland and elsewhere the Roman Clergies Rage Jesuits busie Incitation of States to Tumults Ambition of France Weakness of Spain to see darkly and guess at such Generalities of great Actions as they for the most part do contain nor is it hard to presage the Event of the present Associations with or against France on the same Grounds § 65.

most wicked and thy Heads malignant and thy Tallons most wicked and all thy Body vain 46. That all the Earth may be refreshed and may return delivered from thy violence and may hope for his Judgment and Mercy that made it Esdras iv Chap. xii 1. ANd it came to pass while the Lion spake these words to the Eagle I saw 2. And behold the Head that overcame and those four Wings appeared not which passed to him and were set up to Reign and their Reign was small and full of Tumult 3. And I saw and behold they appeared not and all the body of the Eagle was burnt and the Earth was afraid exceedingly 10. This is the interpretation of this Vision 11. The Eagle which thou sawest coming up from the Sea this is the Kingdom which was seen in a Vision to Daniel thy Brother Marg. Dan. vii 7. 12. But it was not interpreted to him therefore I do now interpret it to thee 13. Behold the day is come and there shall arise a Kingdom upon Earth and the fear shall be more terrible than all the Kingdoms that were before it 14. And there shall twelve Kings Reign in it one after another 15. For the second shall begin to Reign and he shall continue more time than the rest of the twelve 16. This is the interpretation of the twelve Wings which thou sawest 17. And the Voice that spake which thou heardest not coming forth from her Heads but from the middle of her Body 18. This is the interpretation That after the time of that Kingdom shall rise no small Contentions and it shall be in danger to fall and it shall not fall then but shall be Constituted again according to the beginning thereof 19. And whereas thou sawest the eight under Wings cleaving to the Wings thereof 20. This is the interpretation Eight Kings shall rise in it whose Times shall be light and Years swift and two of them shall perish 21. But when the midst time approacheth it shall be kept till a time when the time thereof shall begin to approach to be ended yet two shall be kept to the end 22. And whereas thou fawest three Heads resting 23. This is the interpretation In her last days the Highest will raise up three Kingdoms and will call back many things to them and they shall rule over the Earth 24. And them that dwell in it with much labour above all them that were before them for this cause they are called the Heads of the Eagle 25. For these shall be they that shall recapitulate her Impieties and that shall accomplish her last things 26. And whereas thou sawest a greater Head not appearing this is the interpretation thereof That one of them shall die upon his Bed and yet with Torments 27. For the two that shall remain the Sword shall eat them 28. For the Sword of the one shall devour him that is with him but yet this also at the last shall fall by the Sword 29. And whereas thou sawest two under Wings passing over the Head which is on the right side 30. This is the interpretation thereof These are they whom the Highest hath kept to their end this is a small Kingdom and full of trouble 31. As thou sawest the Liou also whom thou sawest awaking out of the Wood and roaring and speaking unto the Eagle and rebuking her and his injustices by all his words as thou hast heard 32. This is the Wind which the Highest hath kept to the end for them and their Impieties and shall rebuke them and shall cast in their spoils before them 33. For he shall set them in Judgment alive and it shall be when he hath reproved them then shall he chastise them 34. For the rest of my People he shall deliver with misery them that are saved upon my Borders and he shall make them joyful till the end shall come the Day of Judgment whereof I have spoken to thee from the beginning 35. This is the Dream which thou sawest and these be the interpretations CHAP. XIII 1. ANd it came to pass after seven days and I dreamed a Dream in the Night 2. And behold there arose a Wind from the Sea that troubled all the Waves thereof 3. And behold that Man grew strong with thousands of Heaven 25. These are the interpretations of the Vision Whereas thou sawest a Man coming from the heart of the Sea 26. The same is he whom the Highest preserveth much time which by himself shall deliver his Creature and he shall dispose them that are left 29. Behold the days come when the Highest shall begin to deliver them that are upon the Earth 30. And he shall come in excess of mind upon them that inhabit the Earth 31. And one shall think to overthrow another One City another City one Place another Place and Nation against Nation and Kingdom against Kingdom 32. And it shall be when these Things shall come to pass and the Signs shall happen which I shewed thee before And then shall my Son be revealed whom thou sawest as a Man coming up 33. And it shall be when all Nations shall hear his Voice And every one in his Country shall leave their War that they have towards each other 34. And an innumerable multitude shall be gathered in one as willing to come to overthrow him 35. But he shall stand upon the top of Mount Sion 36. And Sion shall come and it shall be shewed to all prepared and builded as thou sawest the Mountain to be graven without Hands 39. And whereas thou sawest him gather to him another peaceable Multitude 40. Those are the ten Tribes English Esdras xi 1. THen I saw a Dream and behold there came up from the Sea an Eagle which had twelve feathered Wings and three Heads 2. And I saw and behold she spread her Wings over all the Earth and all the Winds of the Air blew on her and gathered themselves 3. And I beheld and out of her Feathers grew out other contrary Feathers and they became little Feathers and small 4. But her Heads remained still and the Head in the midst was greater than the other Heads yet rested it with them 5. Moreover I saw that the Eagle flew with her Feathers and reigned upon the Earth and over them that dwell therein 6. And I saw that all things under Heaven were subject unto her and no Man spoke against her no not one Creature upon Earth 7. I saw also that the Eagle stood upon her Claws and spake to her Feathers saying 8. Watch not altogether sleep every one in his own place and watch by course 9. But let the Heads be preserved for the last 10. Nevertheless I saw that the Voice went not out of her Heads but from the midst of her Body 11. Then I 〈◊〉 her country Feathers and behold there were eight of them 12. And I looked and behold on the right side there arose one Feather and reigned over all the Earth 13. And

29. And whereas thou sawest two under Wings that went off towards the Head which was on the right side this is the inpretation 30. These are they whom the most High hath preserved for their end whose Kingdom is little and full of trouble as thou sawest 31. And the Lion which thou sawest rising up out of the Wood and roaring and speaking to the Eagle and rebuking her for Unrighteousness with all the words which thou hast heard 32. This is the Wind which the most High hath kept for them for their Wickedness unto the end and he shall reprove them and cast before them their Spoils 33. For he shall set them alive in the Judgment and shall rebuke them and correct them 34. For he shall deliver the residue of my People by Affliction which are preserved upon my Borders and he shall make them joyful until the coming of the Day of Judgment whereof I have spoken unto thee from the beginning 35. This is the Dream that thou sawest and these are the interpretations Thus far the Angel Uriel to Esdras CHAP. XIII 1. ANd it came to pass after seven days I dreamed a Dream by Night 2. And lo there arose a Wind from the Sea that it moved all the Waves thereof 3. And I beheld and lo that Man waxed strong with the thousands of Heaven 25. This is the meaning of the Vision Whereas thou sawest a Man coming up from the midst of the Sea 26. The same is he whom God the Highest hath kept a great season which by his own self shall deliver his Creature and he shall order them that are left behind 29. Behold the days come when the most High will begin to deliver them that are upon the Earth 30. And he shall come to the astonishment of them that dwell on the Earth 31. And one shall undertake to fight against another one City against another one Place against another one People against another and one Realm against another 32. And the time shall be when these Things shall come to pass and the Signs shall happen which I shewed thee before and then shall my Son be declared whom thou sawest as a Man ascending 33. And when all the People hear his Voice every Man shall in their own Land leave the Battel they have one against another 34. And an innumerable multitude shall be gathered together as thou sawest them willing to come and to overcome him by fighting 35. But he shall stand upon the top of the Mount of Sion 36. And Sion shall come and shall be shewed to all Men being prepared and builded like as thou sawest the Hill graven without Hands 39. And whereas thou sawest that he gathered another peaceable Multitude un-unto him 40. Those are the ten Tribes NB. That in the famous Book by some called the Baby Prophecy sometimes in the custody of the Earl of Marlborough or a Copy of it seen and remembred by several Persons of Honour yet alive and for the most part fulfilled in innumerable Particulars * Generosa Nobilitas non sinet ei fieri malum The Nobles and Gentry shall suffer no Wrong to be done to the King nor his Crown the present King of England survives the last great Battel And as here the end of all those Prophecies is the Conversion of the Eastern Jews for their Habits mistaken for Turks I would not any much should trust or fear Such Prophecies but when Events appear To answer unto that which was foretold Wise Men should make what use of them they could And so direct their Actions that Hell's Charms And Cheating Riddles may not do them harms i. e. By Justice and Mercy towards Men and Piety to God Anonymous future History of Europe SECT 11. § THe two Books of Esdras are thought and that by none of the least Learned St. Augustine St. Ambrose Tostatus Scaliger the Elder Melancthon Arias Montanus Bucer and Bibliander to be Canonical because of the most eminent fulfilling of many Predictions in them contained In the 11th Chapter of the second of those Books there is under the Type of an Eagle a manifest Prophecy both of the Roman Heathenish Empire as likewise of the Papacy with her chief Leaguers to this present Time throughout the whole Chapter This Eagle is the Roman Heathenish Empire her twelve Feathered Wings are the twelve first Emperours from Julius Caesar to Nerva The three Heads are the Kingdoms of France Spain and Germany preordained of God to maintain the power of her Pride when all her Wings her Heathenish and Tyrannical Caesars should fail her Nevertheless under her twelve first Caesars are comprehended in general all the Emperours which Reigned in her from Julius Caesar who first crackt the strings of her Liberty to Augustulus Momyllus her last Roman Caesar for the space of 474 Years Her eight contrary Feathers are the eight terrible Inundations of several Nations from the North God's Scourges which overwhelmed her fairest Provinces sunk her State in Blood and by Fire and Sword humbled her as low as the Dust she trod on viz. 1. Alaricus and his West Goths 2. Attilas and his Huns. 3. Gensericus and his Vandals 4. Odoacer 5. Theodoricus and his East Goths 6. Totilas and his Spaniards 7. Alboinus and his Longobards who deposed her Diminutive Gaesar Augustulus Momyllus 8.
