comming of the King into York shall be at Bowdon Bar which shall be privately the next time when he comes to be knowne he will come through Holgate Towne and not through Holgate Lane and when his head shall be at London Bridge his taile shall be at Edenbrough And it will come to passe that water will run over Ouzebridge and laughing said every Cuckold will have an Oke tree at his â—â—re and that there should be a Winde-Mill upon one of the Towers in York and that day men and women will weare great Bands and Hats like scuttles and after that rayles And when there is a Lord Mayor on the back side of the Minster in York let him take heed of a stab with a knife Also there will be two Knights that will fall out in the Castle yard at York which never will be kind again while they live Two Judges shall go twice in and out at Walme-gate-bar And when Coulton-Hag hath born seven years Corn You shall not know of wâ—refare at night and have it at morn Then in the 7th year after it wil begin And be noysome to the King When warfare begins at a Spring Much care to Eâ—gland it will bring Then will the North rue it wondrous sore But the South for evermore Hares shall kindle upon the cold stone And lads shal wed ladies bring them home Then shal the ladies cry wel away That we were born to see this day The wel wil be they that have the least And woe to them that have the most For a hill and a dale will be worth eight Oxen and a Plough and ten pound in Mony worth ten pound Per Annum in Land And when it coms it will last three years before it cease Betwixt Calder and Ayre It will be long Faire When all the World is alost It shall be called Christ-crost The first main battel of this shal begin Where crook-back Richard his battell did win And those that goes unto the Plain Shall few of them return again At that day shall England quake For the voice of a dead Man shall be heard speake And the Dragon shall give the Bull a sneape After this the enemy shall advance to London then said she weladay for London for destruction will come upon it for evermore After that there will be a great battel and they will be pacified for a while but afterwards will return to Stockton-Moore neer York where will be a sore battell then will the Raven sit upon the Crosse and suck as much of the Nobilities blood as the Comminalties and then there will come thither a Woman with one eye and tread over many a Man in blood to the knee until she come to a Man leaning upon a rest and shall say unto him who art thou and he shall say I am the King of the Scots she shall wish him to â—o to her House and he will go and there will be three Knights in her â—ouse and all of them will stay three dayes and three nights with her â—nd one shall not know of another Soone after shall England be won and lost twice of a day they will cry in the forenoone England is lost and in the afternoone It is won for Clubs and clouted shooes will get the day There will be against these times a Lord Mayor of York chosen out of course and three Knights one not knowing of another shall be in Peter-gate in Yorke and a Lad borne in Pontetract with three thumbs shall hould these three Knights Horses untill the battell be won Then will all the Noble blood of England be gone except one and he will be carried to Sheriffe Huttons Castle on Horse-back and there will dye Then will they make an Earle in the Field hanging their Horses on a Thorne and ruing the time that they were borne to see so much blood shed Then will they come to York and set upon it and it will keep them out three daies and three nights and a penny loafe within the Bar will be at halfe a Crown and without the Bar at a Penny and harder to get with them without then within for the scarcity of mony Then will the Enemy sweare if so they will not let them in they will blow up the Wals and the Towne and they will be let in and there will go to Cruse-Church three Knights or Earles and there shall but one come out againe and he will make Proclamation through the City That whosoever will take away Houses Manners Towers or Bowers to come and possesse them for one and twenty yeares then for evermore in England there shall be no more warefare then shall York be as London Then shall it be that one Woman shall say to another come Mother I saw a Man to day which will be joy to a Woman to see for for one Man there will be a thousand
