God will be universally known by all Then a general reformation and peace for ever when the people shall learn war no more Happy is the man that liveth to see this day PROPHECY OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION FROM A PUBLICATION BY THE LATE MR. PETER JURIEU IN 1687. Rev. xi 13. And the same hour was there a great earthquake and the tenth part of the City fell and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand and the remnant were affrighted and gave glory to God NOW what is this tenth part of this city which shall fall we cannot doubt that 't is France This kingdom is the most considerable part or piece of the ten horns or states which once made up the great Babylonian city it fell this does not signify that the French Monarchy shall be ruined it may be humbled but in all appearance Providence does design a great elevation for her afterward 'T is highly probable that God will not let go unpunished the horrible outrages which it acts at this day Afterward it must build its greatness upon the ruins of the papal empire and enrich itself with the spoils of those who shall take part with the papacy They who at this day persecute the protestants know not whither God is leading them this is not the way by which he will lead France to the height of glory If she comes thither 'tis because she shall shortly change her road Her greatening will be no damage to protestant states on the contrary the protestant states shall be enriched with the spoils of others and be strengthened by the fall of Antichrist's empire This tenth part of the city shall fall with respect to the papacy it shall break with Rome and the Roman religion One thing is certain that the Babylonian empire shall perish through the refusal of obedience by the ten Kings who had given their power to the beast The thing is already come to pass in part The kingdoms of Sweden Denmark England and several sovereign states of Germany have withdrawn themselves from the Iurisdiction of the Pope They have spoiled the h●rlot of her riches They have eaten her flesh ie seized her benefices and revenues which she had in their countries This must go on and be finished as it began The Kings who yet remain under the empire of Rome must break with her leave her solitary and desolate But who must begin this last revolt 'T is most probable that France shall Not Spain which as yet is plunged in superstition and is as much under the tyranny of the clergy as ever Not the Emperor who in temporals is subject to the Pope and permits the Archbishop of Strigonium in his states to teach that the Pope can take away the Imperial crown from him It cannot be any country but France which a long time ago hath begun to shake off the yoke of Rome 'T is well known how solemnly and openly war hath been declared against the Pope by declaration of the King ratified in all the parliaments by the decisions of the assembly of the French clergy by a disputation against the authority of the Pope managed in the Sorbon solemnly and by order of the Court. And to heighten the affront the theses were posted up even upon the gates of his Nuncio Nothing of this kind had h●●herto happened at least in a time of peace and unless the Pope had given occasion by his infolencies Besides this superstition and idolatry lose their credit much in France There is a secret party though well enough known which greatly despiseth the popular devotions images worship of Saints and is convinced that these are human inventions God is before-hand preparing for this great work To this it may be objected that for the last fifty years the Pope's empire hath not been made up of ten Kings because England Sweden Denmark c. have thrown off his government and consequently France is not at this day the tenth part of the Babylonian empire for 't is more than a tenth part of it But this is no difficulty for we must know that things retain the names which they bore in their original without regarding the alterations which time does bring along Though at this day there are not ten kingdoms under the Babylonian empire 't is notwithstanding certain that each Kingdom was called and ought to be called in 〈◊〉 prophecy the tenth part because the prophet having described this empire in its beginning by its ten horns or ten Kings 't is necessary for our clear understanding that every one of these ten Kings and kingdoms should be called one of the ten Kings or of the ten kingdoms with respect to the constitution of the Antichristian empire Seeing the tenth part of the city that must fall is France this gives me some hopes that the death of the two witnesses hath a particular relation to this kingdom 'T is the street or place of this city i. e. the most fair and eminent part of it The witnesses must remain dead upon this street and upon it they must be raised again And as the death of the witnesses and their resurrection have a relation to the kingdom of France it may well fall out that we may not be far distant from the time of the resurrection of the witnesses seeing the three years and a half of their death are either begun or will begin shortly And in the earthquake were slain seven thousand in the Greek it is seven thousand names of men and not seven thousand men I consess that this seems somewhat mystericus in other places we find not this phrase names of men put simply for men Perhaps there is here a figure of grammar called hypallage casus so that names of men are put for men of name i. e. of raised and considerable quality be it on account of riches or of dignity or of learning But I am more inclined to say that here these words names of men must be taken in their natural signification and do intimate that the total Reformation of France shall not be made without bloodshed nothing shall be destroyed but names such as are the names of Monks of Carmelites of Augustines of Dominicans of Iacobins of Franciscans Capuchins Iesuites Minimes and an infinite company of others whose number 't is not easy to define and which the Holy Ghost denotes by the number seven which is the number of perfection to signify the number of monks and

adoring Images and Saints departed and in taking to themselves many Mediators and this said he the Papists are always designing among themselves therefore be sure you be ready and not found wanting This was the substance and I think for the greatest part the very same words which this Holy Man spake to me at the time before mentioned not long before his death and which I writ down that so great and notable a prediction might not b●-lost and forgotten by myself nor others This gracious man repeated the same things in substaace to his only daughter the Lady Tyr●il and that with many tears and much about the same time that he had expressed what is aforesaid to me and which the Lady Tyrril assured me of with her own m●uth to this purpose That opening the Door of his Chamber she found him with his Eyes lift up to Heaven and the Tears running apace down his Cheeks and 〈…〉 continued for about half an Hour not taking the least Notice of her though she came into the Room but at last turning to her he told her That his Thoughts had been taken up about the Miseries and Persecutions that were coming upon the Churches of Christ which would be so sharp and bitter that the Contemplation of them had fetched those Tears from his Eyes The same Things he also repeated to the Lady Bysse wife to the then present Lord Chief Baron of Ireland but with adding this circumstance wo unto them that are found unprepared for it ●o conclude in the words of Dr. Bernard speaking of this excellent person Now howsoever I may be as far from heeding of Prophe●cies this way as any yet with me it is not improbable that so great a Prophet so sanctified from his youth so knowing and eminent throughout the Universal Church might have at some special times more than ordinary motions and impulses in doing the Watchman's part of giving warning of judgments approaching From M` Auliffe's Prophecies AND in those days it shall come to pass that the nations of Europe will be moved to war and that mighty men and princes will unite from all corners of the ea●th to maintain their power and that they will gather from all quarters thousands and tens of thousands to fight their battles and establish their dominions over multitudes and nations but their arms shall avail them nought in their union they shall find destruction and their mighty hosts shall be scattered like chaff before the wind pestilence and famine shall overtake those who escape from the sword and few shall live to bring home the news of their mishap and defeats The stars of nations shall then fall and desolation shall reign among the great and proud of the earth for their ways are the ways of ungodliness and their paths are those of injustice and oppression In those days and they are at hand the mighty Lord of truth shall avenge the injuries of his people and his name shall be known throughout The reign of his justice shall succeed that of his mercy and long forbearance his mighty arm shall exalt the humble and prostrate the proud It shall also come to pass in those days that the blood of Africans shall be repaid and slavery shall be no more the beams of truth all strike on the eyes of all nations and Evangelical love shall pervade all hearts equa● rights shall be the foundation of continua● peace and the glory of all people shall be to know the Lord of armies and obey his eternal laws It is to be lamented that the Compiler could not collect the whole of this great man's predictions but hopes to get them shortly being promised them by a friend who will interpret them faithfully from the old Irish. The families of M` Auliffes were formerly an ancient Irish family in the County of Cork and possessed of large estates there some of which are now enjoyed by the respectable families of the name of St. Leger who purchased them this great prophet foretold the transferring of all the family property and the total extinction of his name which he said would be forgotten and hardly remembered by the rising generations which has all turned out as ●e foretold He also foretold a gentleman in his days named Anthony St. Leger that he would live to a great age providing he would never pass over Bennet's Bridge in the county of Kilkenny and if he would that there he most undoubtedly was to lose his life but as destiny in human circumstances is by some deemed unavoidable it was most unfortunately verified in Mr. S. who lost his life by a gun shot at Bennet's Bridge by the following accident One of his carriage horses had dropped a shoe traveling through that country from which accident Mr. S. could not pursue his journey without getting a shoe on his beast and being told there was a smith's forge at Bennet's Bridge on his way he drove to the fatal place where a forge remains to this day but there had not been any person at work in it the smith was found and applied to to put a shoe on the horse with all convenient dispatch who excused himself saying he had no iron The horse being lame and not able to go on further without a shoe necessitated Mr. S. to get out of his carriage and im●ortune the smith to search diligently for iron sufficient for the purpose when after a long research it could not be obtained without having recourse to an old rusty gun barrel from which a shot had not been fired p●rhaps for half a century b●fore and being in some useful position was at length put into the furnace by the smith with reluctance for the ●urpose of taking off sufficient to make an horse● shoe little did Mr. S. think of M` Auliffe's prophecy or eternity at hand whilst he stood in the forge all the time The rusty old gunbarrel which had been load●d with powder and ball of a long time no sooner had got the heat of the fire than the contents went off and unluckily killed Mr. S. on the spot which shews that Mr. S. had either disbelieved or had forgotten the Prophet's caution which too often has been the case of many who are ashamed of taking council in pe●ilous cases least they may become thereby subjects for the ridicule of their more hardened acquaintances The following other prophecy of M'Auliffe's has not yet come to pass and is dev●utly hoped it never may When every running water in Ireland shall turn a mill wheel the● shall the Protestants and Romanists Papists kill each other with great slaughter But as his prophecies have been spoken and wrote in Irish it is left with the wise and sagacious to explain his words which signify battles between the Sasanoughs and Irish. The Irish word Sasanough signifies an English Protestant and what is difficult to explain whether between the people of the Romish persuasion aginst the other dissenting sects in Ireland or nation against nation is not
