Whitwood in Duck-lane Mrs. Feltham in Westminster-Hall TO THE READERVPON THESE PROPHECIES Reader AT first view of the Title Page you may ask why we bring upon the Stage at this time the Predictions or Prophecies of one of an Ancient Date to which for your better satisfaction we Answer that this famous Astrologer esteemed the wisest and most experienced did not limit them to the scanty space of a Year nor to an Age but gave his Judgment as to what would in all probability fall out in succeeding Ages and perhaps to the end of the World wherefore we have collected what may be most suitable to the present times with an explanation as free as is reasonable or conjectural in matters so dark and devious the which for the better inlightning the understanding of Mankind we have set down Prophecy 1. TOurs Orleance Blois Anger 's Reus and Nants City vexed by suddain change by strange Languages Tents shall be set up Rivers Darts Revenues Land and Seas shall quake Annotation This seems to threaten the Provinces of France with some extraordinary change perhaps a Revolt or the prevailing Arms of those that are at present in a War against it the latter being most conjectural by the hint of the two last Verses or lines of the Prophecy Pro. 2. Towars Gascony by English Assaults by the same shall be m●de great Incursions Rains Frosts shall Mazz the Ground Port Selyn shall make strong Invasions Explanation Here the English are promised to make Incursions into the Province of Gascony part of the French King's Territories but the weather in those Parts shall not be favourable as also that the Turks about shall be flushed by Inroad or Invasion of some Place or Countrey Pro. 3. Bourdeaux Rovan and La-Rochelle Joints will Range About upon the Great Ocean English Britains and Flemings joyn together shall drive them away as far as Rouana Explanation This seems to hint at the present times that the Dutch and English shall be successful and obstruct the French by overpowering them by Sea and forcing them into the Rouana or Rhoan a City in Normaady a City formerly subject to the Crown of England and may in success of time be happily regained as it was wrongfully taken from us during the York and Lancasterian War together with the whole Province in the Reign of Henry the sixth Pro. 4. The English Prince Mars hath his heart from Heaven will follow his prosperous fortune Explanation This without doubt points at the present Providence in our Miraculous Deliverance wherein God turned the hearts of the People as of one Man to his present Majesty making him successful against our devoted Enemies to establish him in the Throne and forward his Undertakings in Victory and Renown Pro. 5. The Roman power shall be quite put down his great Neighbour shall follow his steps Secret and Civil hatred and quarrels shall stoop the Buffoon folly Explanation This denotes the Popish power in England to be overthrown and that the same shall happen in a neighbouring Kingdom perhaps in France and that those who keep up fudes and animosities may see their Errors and stop the Buffoons folly that is by joyning against the common Enemy and Uniting with the Interest of the Government Pro. 6. The Change shall be very hard The City and Country shall gain by the Change A high prudent heart shall be put in the unworthy expelled Sea Land and People shall change its conditions Explanation This may be thought plainly to hint at our Late Revolution but we leave further the Issue of Providence and the Event of our Succeedings good for time to time which we cordially wish may ever be prosperous Pro. 7. Peace and Plenty shall not be long praised in his Reign the Flower-de-luce shall be deserted Bodies shall dye Death shall be brought hoping there vanity to be buried Expl.
