to_o my_o interpretation_n from_o those_o strong_a persuasion_n in_o my_o spirit_n under_o goa_n sacred_a correction_n there_o be_v plain_o denote_v to_o we_o these_o six_o particular_n first_n that_o whereas_o there_o come_v a_o black_a bull_n mighty_a and_o terrible_a in_o appearance_n from_o ward_n the_o northern_a part_n to_o london_n so_o there_o shall_v come_v in_o like_a manner_n a_o man_n of_o black_a complexion_n and_o of_o a_o ireful_a and_o majestic_a countenance_n that_o be_v to_o say_v charles_n call_v king_n of_o scot_n shall_v infallible_o come_v with_o a_o great_a and_o dreadful_a power_n from_o scotland_n as_o be_v most_o probable_a or_o from_o the_o northern_a part_n of_o this_o nation_n where_o he_o and_o his_o army_n shall_v first_o land_n to_o this_o city_n of_o london_n second_o forasmuch_o as_o this_o apparition_n marce_v along_o betwixt_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n it_o do_v most_o evident_o promonstrate_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o that_o the_o say_a king_n shall_v not_o terminate_v his_o design_n on_o his_o own_o earthly_a interest_n but_o on_o god_n glory_n and_o religion_n 2._o that_o high_a and_o magnificent_a condition_n he_o shall_v come_v in_o and_o 3._o his_o abhor_v as_o it_o be_v to_o defile_v his_o foot_n with_o that_o ground_n whereon_o there_o have_v be_v such_o abominable_a and_o unheard_a of_o cruelty_n commit_v since_o that_o unhappy_a time_n of_o his_o expulsion_n from_o his_o native_a country_n and_o kingdom_n three_o whereas_o it_o come_v straight_o forward_o not_o turn_v to_o the_o right_a hand_n nor_o to_o the_o left_a and_o in_o a_o stout_a and_o swift_a posture_n there_o will_v arise_v from_o thence_o these_o two_o observation_n 1._o that_o the_o say_a king_n shall_v not_o turn_v aside_o to_o besiege_v any_o petty_a garrison_n or_o to_o fight_v any_o flying-party_n but_o shall_v march_v direct_o on_o towards_o london_n as_o the_o only_a considerable_a place_n of_o his_o attempt_n and_o 2._o his_o policy_n in_o frustrate_v his_o enemy_n plot_n by_o a_o sudden_a surprisal_n four_o by_o the_o blaze_a horn_n be_v express_o signify_v that_o flame_a sword_n of_o vengeance_n he_o shall_v

justice._n six_o and_o last_o from_o the_o furious_a combat_v of_o these_o two_o apparition_n etc._n etc._n i_o prescribe_v thus_o that_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o this_o city_n of_o london_n shall_v draw_v out_o their_o totall_n power_n against_o the_o say_a king_n and_o his_o army_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o most_o desperate_a war_n such_o as_o have_v not_o be_v in_o england_n since_o it_o become_v a_o nation_n but_o they_o shall_v be_v utter_o vanquish_v and_o this_o our_o jerusalem_n shall_v be_v make_v heap_n and_o a_o astonishment_n and_o a_o byword_n to_o all_o posterity_n doubtless_o there_o will_v be_v sundry_a objection_n raise_v from_o the_o strength_n and_o warlike_a posture_n of_o this_o nation_n and_o the_o present_a domestic_a trouble_n of_o other_o christian_a nation_n about_o we_o thereby_o conclude_v a_o impossibility_n of_o so_o great_a a_o change_n and_o by_o consequence_n much_o obstruct_v those_o good_a effect_n i_o can_v wish_v the_o aforesaid_a
