the mean time while M. La Valiere was contemplating all this she heard a great cry thrice re-doubled The King is a coming the King is a coming and the noise of the Cry immediately awaken'd her Every body knows how earnest the French King was to have this Dream of M. La Valiere his Quondam Mistress explain'd and that he offer'd a thousand Pistols to any that would do it Which is thought is done already by the same Author who ventur'd to Explain the K.'s own Dream which he had about the same time but without any prospect of Reward I give him the following and true Interpretation of it The Explication of Madam La Valiere's Dream MAdam La Valiere having gone to Bed the first Night of this Year after the Office was over dream'd she was at Versailles in a Secular Habit and that she saw the King walking upon the side of the Canal in the midst of which appeared two Islands near to one another La Valiere in a Secular Habit represents very neatly that Seraglio or House of Pleasure he had at St. Cir when this Lady was his Concubine The Canal denotes the Sea that environs Great Britaine on all sides The two Islands amidst this Canal are the two Islands of Great Britain and Ireland and Nostrodamus calls these Kingdoms Islands by way of excellence In the Dream the three Kingdoms of England Scotland and Ireland is represented by two little Islands because she was to see them in the Canal of Versailles which being of its self but little the Islands represented in them behoov'd to be little also these Islands are near to one another because there is but three hours sailing from some parts of Scotland to some parts of Ireland The King was followed by Hunters and Spaniels designing to kill some Fowls His Hunters are his Armies by Land and his Spaniels his Fleets at Sea because Spaniels are fitter than other Hounds to hunt in the Water Being design'd to kill some of the Fowls That is being design'd to make War upon the Inhabitants of these two Islands of Britaine and Ireland who are properly represented by the Fowls of the River M. La Valiere follows the King to the end she may inform us of the success of the War he was enter'd into against England When the King came over against the first Island she saw a great Spaniel throw himself into the Water to swim into the Island followed by a great many Ducks and other Fowls whose Eggs he eat up This first Island is England and Scotland the great Spaniel that threw himself into the Water is K. James he is follow'd by a great many Ducks and other Fowls that is the English he eats up their Eggs that is when he began to destroy and ruine the People of England and their Liberties The great Spaniel came ashore and was received by the King 's B. who caus'd fire upon the Fowls and kill'd some of them That is K. James fled over all alone to France and the King having assisted him with a Naval Force has since killed several of the English in the present War he has declared against them When they came over against the other Island they heard the noise of a great many Dogs a hunting and thereupon the great Spaniel threw himself into the Water with some of the King's Spaniels to joyn them in the Island When they were near the other Island that is Ireland they heard the noise of Dogs a Hunting that is the Army of Tyrconnel Viceroy of Ireland the great Spaniel upon the noise threw himself into the Water to joyn them that is K. James seeing his Party subsist yet in Ireland he goes thither and joyns his Army there accompanied by some of the French Officers As soon as the great Spaniel had joyn'd the Dogs in the other Island That is K. James had joyn'd his Army in Ireland the noise became greater and continued so for a while that is the War became sharper and did not end so very soon as was at first expected After which M. La Valiere sees another flock of Birds flie out of this Island into the first and the great Spaniel follows them where there is a fight betwixt the Spaniel and the Ducks and other Birds which last after a brisk resistance are forc'd to flie and the King causes fire upon them and kills some of them The continuation of this Dream continues to foretel some Advantages to K. James but what afterwards follows foretels unquestionably the marvellous Success of K. William now of Great Britain in such sort as that great Prince shall at last Triumph gloriously over all his Enemies In fine the great Miseries of Lowis the 14th and the incomparable good Fortune of K. William are painted forth in this Dream of M. La Valiere's with so much brightness and clearness as if written with a Sun-beam which will appear by what follows When the King is returning to the Palace he told those about him he would go to see his Orange-trees The Visit design'd by the King to his Orange-Inclosure foretels the continuation of the War of Lowis 14th against K. William who is here represented as P. of Orange This term to go to see signifying a Declaration of War is taken from that place of Scripture Where Amisias King of Judah sends to the King of Israel saying Come let us see one another or let us look one another in the face And it 's afterwards said that these two Kings saw one another in the face that is they fought together In saying this the King stumbled upon Caillon and fell on his face bleeding at the Nose After this new Declaration of War or rather renewing of the former the King stumbles against the root of a Tree that is he met with a powerful Obstacle of his Design and God is preparing a great and terrible Vengeance for this Guilty Monarch In fine he falls on his Face bleeding at the Nose That is Lowis 14th shall fail in his Enterprize on William King of Great Britain and this last Monarch shall Triumph over the Armies of France Moreover His bleeding shall weaken him and render him timorous and cowardly And in the old Dialect of France to say a Man bleeds at the Nose was to say he is afraid The end of the Dream proves that this Fall of Lowis the 14th will be mortal They presently took up the King and carried him to his Bed The fall of Lowis upon his Nose must be terrible since he fell a bleeding thereupon and was so far unable to rise of himself that they were necessitated to carry him to his Bed This denotes that Lowis the 14th shall die of this Fall since the Bed is an Image of Death Thence this Dream is the fatal Fore-runner and Prediction of the miserable End of this King and of his Kingdom This is exactly what was foretold by Nostredamus in his 5 Sireain Celui qui la Principaute Tiendra par grand Cruautê
