Wo unto thee thou seven-hilled City when the letter R shall threaten thy walls for then the fall and destruct on of thy mighty men is at hand Wo unto the City of blood full of lying falshood and violence the voice of the scourge of the whe●l and of the warlike horse the voice of viol nce and spoil shall not depart from thee the g●ld of Gods word is obscu ed and Religion which is the wo●shipping of God according to his word is pi●ifu ly corrup●ed the first Wo is past behold ●nother wo is at hand let us flye away secretly from before his face because the afflictions of our faces do begin let us run and let us not look behinde us because from the North all Plagues are displayed I beseech thee good Lord send him whom thou art to send Out of his 15 section fol. 83. Johannes Wolfius in the second Tome of his memorable things which beginneth thus A certain Wight ●quita●le and upright born in Europe shall be the chief Pastor or Bishop of Christendom such a one as shall manage and govern the Keys of the Kingdom of heaven and not the Scepters of the kingdomes of the earth then there shall be peace and concord in the whole world one faith and religion and one Prince imperially reigning over all Out of his 16 section fol. 84 85 86 87. According to the confession of the Italian Jesuite Hieronymus Platus in his second book of the Religious Life and 30 Chap. England hath been more fertile of Converters of Countries and Nations to the Christian faith then any other Land else so is it not unlikely but that God will have the same Countrey to be more fertile of Reformers of other corrupt Churches especially of that of Rome then any other Land whatsoever and that as there is in no Countrey or Nation of the world to be found so many compleat Divines for Judiciousness Ingeniousness and moderation and for fitness to deserve well of the peace of the Church as there is in England so it may well be that God will honour this same Island with the reformation of the Church of Rome and her daughters by f●nding forth from thence such godly judicious zealous and moderate men as shall reclaim them from their abuses and corruption and restore unto them their primitive purity and integrity such as it was in the daies of Constantine the Great born in Great Brittain And so much seemeth to be imported by that prediction of Nostrodamus which beareth that Rome shall be ruled by the Brittonish head In his first Century he saith That the new King that joyns the lower and Northern Countries of Europe shall be the instrum●nt of losse to the Church of Rome and that the Bishop of Rome together with his Clergy except they shew themselvs willing to be reformed shall be made to spit blood when the Rose shall flourish And in his 8 and 10 Centuries That the ruine of Rome draweth near not of her walls but of her substance and blood by the means of a learned Prince of sharp understanding And to be short He promiseth in his 5 Century That of the Trojan blood shall spring a Prince of a daughty Dutch heart who shall attain unto so high a degree that he shall both chase farr away the Arabick or Mahumetane multitudes and likewise return to the Church her antient eminency and sincerity Likewise out of the Library of S.
