THE Most Strange AND WONDERFUL PREDICTIONS OF Cleombrotus AN HEATHEN JEW PROPHESIED In the Year One thousand Two hundred Seventy and two upon the Reigns of Twenty Nine Kings of ENGLAND from EDWARD the First to CHARLES the Fifth One thousand Seven hundred Ninety nine Found in the Colledge of WITTENBVRGH in GERMANY LONDON Printed for Langley Curtis in Goat-Court on Ludgate-Hill MDCLXXIX The most Strange and Wonderful Predictions of CLEOMBROTVS c. WHen Sixteen hundred year is come And Twenty five the I is done The Letter C shall take the Crown And Reign Nine years in great Renown But then beware of Lebon Rex Lest that the P the Lyon vex For then sad Fates and Destinie By Wars throughout his Reign shall be Then with a Blow the Times will turn And Thousands for one Man shall Mourn The C shall stoop unto the C But pray the first it be not He. But before this day come there will reign a mighty War Many Towns will be brought low stately Cedars will bow their Heads and mighty Castles stoop to Cottages Then will England be surfeited with the Blood of Innocents and remain a while without King Lords or Commons then will Churches be made Stables and Palaces become Prisons The People at that time shall stand amazed thus bewailing O Happy certainly are they That never did live to see this day Our Wealth is all unto Confusion brought By those who have not left us worth a Groat Our stately Livings to the Ground are come But dare not speak we must be dumb Once had we Justice and a Glorious King Now Thousand Tyrants in the room of him Which like to Tygers did his Life betray Since we like Sheep must unto Wolves obey We know not where to go nor where to flye But like poor Job sit down in Misery Great Changes at that time will happen and the Death of some Great Man will then hasten But when you remember the Fall of Charran Cross and see a new one built in Pauls Church then will Captivity be led captive and Redemption out of Bondage will draw near at which time the Sea will say unto the Land I have brought home the Treasure of many years Voyage And the Land shall then answer It is so Rich and precious I am not worthy to receive it Which Time described is in the year One Thousand Six hundred and Sixty In the Sixteen hundred and Sixty year Strange Wonders unto England shall appear Providence by Connexion joyneth Close The Exil'd Thistle to the Southern Rose For Neptune of the Ocean home shall bring A second C but what a Precious thing Will this same Letter be and high will stand Lord of th' Eleventh House by Sea and Land Describe but Mars and Venus to command He 'll come in May or else the first of June Pray that the Seas may calm and quiet be Twice miss'd he Dangers now again at Sea Yet will be quiet from Troubles Neptune Roar And when He is arrived on the Shoar Observe this Prophecy 't will make appear His Reign consists One Five and Fifty year But yet before the Eighty first you 'll see A mighty Monarch in the World He 'll be Some great and hughy War may then ensue If that by chance the Eagle proves not true The Lyon Rampant may in Fury grow Though 't is suspected whether he will or no For if the Eagle he should fly too fast 'T is thought his Tallons will be clip'd at last For then in his Description you will find All Europe will be subject to One Mind Which is the Letter C predicted true That will some Great and Neighbouring Prince subdue And then before the Lyon proveth kind He 'l have an Heir according to his Mind Sprung from an House that 's of a pretty Name An Ostridge soundeth something near the same Then Spain in Fame shall last France by Chance may fall Germany will stand fast But England all in all Now mark that towards the year one thousand six hundred sixty two will great Contest be in England about Religion at which time will then Reign twenty eight Scots of several Opinions in which time will many Sparks of Dissentions but of small Continuance like the Snuff of a Candle quickly waste out and soon extinguish for then will the Crows Head and the Magpies Breast be a stumbling Block to erroneous Errors more Disputants will be in arguing than Parish Pastors in reconcileing many at that time will be confuted and range abroad like seemed mad men but after a while will be soon quieted so that by the year one thousand six hundred sixty five will all become one peculiar Government and then it will be as hard to hear the Name of a Souldier in open Hostility as to see a white Raven on the top of a Pinacle a white Harvest will follow and Peace and Plenty will continue few Murthers will be committed no Treasons will be thought of but in the year one thousand six hundred sixty nine or there abouts will a Ship sail up the River Thames and a Merchant will ask the Marriner what News he bringeth the Marriner shall answer that Austria is removed to England and the Gates of Rome doth seem to tremble that year will some great Forreign Prince have a Fall but England shall reign Dominical and provide a great Voyage for Sea but beware a Swallow do not sit in the Stern of the Admiral for if it do it will indanger the Fleet for that Bout And in the year one thousand six hundred and eighty great Turnaments will be exercised tilting and Launces will be in high Request and that year will a Talbot jump to a Duke of Norfolk but it will be better for him to absent that day than repent of his Title all the year after for if his Horse throw him in the Morning let him abstain his Honour that day otherwise he will take a Fall at Court and pitch his Head at Berkley Castle For the Eagle and the Leapard shall spurn him in the dark for the Moon at that time will be eclipsed but if his Horse doth not stumble as he mounteth let him proceed for then he shall discover by the Light of the Moon the Craftiness of the Eagle in all her Darkness The sixteen hundred eighty year will bring Great days of Honour by a mighty King For Nobles in the Moneth of July they Shall try great Actions on the twentieth day By which you 'l find in this same Prophesie A Talbot shall the Duke of Norfolk be An Eagle then at this begins to spurne Till she have made the Talbot 's Title turn Vnhappy then will be the twentieth day Vnhappy Talbot this Prediction say If that his Horse doth stumble when he mount This is a perfect and a true Account In his Behalf the Moon will lose her Light And he arrested at the Court for Spight For Treason and Contentions they have bred He shall at Barkley Castle lose his Head
