yeares THen Iames shall seeke a second crowne In pulling Pope and Papists downe But Iames shall vanish from the●● face At halfe Elizabeths royall race Then using forraine pol●cies Grudgings and discontents arise Yet shall they assemble at the seat Of Parliament for a work most great But strange opinions there shall sow Dissentions that too high shall grow And L●odicea's Englands Church Of grace and beautie some shall lurch And Smiths of policie shall invent To cast molds of new government While vulgar Birds of weakest wing Grow stout against their Eagle King Whose just integrous heart shall prove The Adamant of Subjects love Then Pride shall some in prison lock And lop a head off on a block By honest power they●●● all bring downe An Aspirer that assum'd a Crowne That he whose power did Lawes contemne Might find a grave no Diadem Some Comick Scenes shall then be acted By vulgar Players much distructed The Gospell from a tub or tun Shall broached by Mechanicks run Petticoats shall in Pulpits preach And women be allow'd to teach And in those gloomy dogged dayes They shall teare off the Muses Bayes Thus strife and furie shall encrease And Round-heads shall disturb the peace Of Religion while they it tosse In blankets and pull downe the Crosse The Brownists shall no old prayers brooke Sermons shall drowne the Service-booke Then all men in those times shall see Great troubles and calamitie Then on the Irish bogs and heath Many a man shall taste of death The Souldiers wages shall increase Till wars at last in conquest cease To such as are good Land-lords knowne In hostile times some love is showne But for all such as have great store Th' are in lesse safetie than the poore Then twentie pounds of coyne in hand Is worth so much of yearely land From Ireland then there shall come one Must lose his head upon a stone But when England doth swim in flouds Of plentie and growes proud of goods Then from their sleep they shall be waked To know themselves both blind and naked Christs Church must know some miserie There shall be a dolefull tragedie The Lord abroad his sword will send Vnlesse they warning take t' amend Yet Germany France and Britanny This last act of your tragedy Good dayes will follow bad ones cease There shall be plentie and great peace The whore of Romes nose shall be slit And of her proud attire be stript In the meane time Bishops shall be Throwne downe from all their dignitie Their Hierarchy and their traine Shall ne're recover strength againe Nor is Romes Citie only Rome But all the Popes Dominion So that Rome feeles herselfe annoy'd While she in Ireland is destroy'd In fortie one by computation The Pope shall fall by Reformation A Clergy-man shall then suffice His pride with one poore Benefice Then Cambridge and the Oxonian Shall be scorn'd by the Rotundian And some that cannot say nor sing Shall drink much at a troubled spring And Coblers then shall leave their last In Sermons up their gall to cast Magpies and Parrats then shall prate Both of the Eagle and the State Vntill they bring things in conclusion To much disorder and confusion Rebels and men most seditious Shall make the times prove pernitious Rich men shall do things unbefitting An upright Iudge be scarce found sitting Vpstart honour shall seeme dreames And Bishops Seas prove little streames While many feather'd Fowle shall flie Beyond the seas for jeopardie Rumours shall be of wars and Armes And there shall be of Sects great swarmes A sort of mad rude common people Shall pull the crosse from everie steeple The King while they doe thus presume Vnto this Realme the right shall doome He shall this Kingdome wisely guide And other Kingdomes more beside Then Peeres and Commons shall elect Whose Lawes shall ever take effect No man shall Lawyers counsell crave For men their right at home shall have And Officers each Towne within Shall right their wrongs and punish sin Worthies be nine and reckon we And this the tenth and last shal● be The Moone o●scur'd full sixtie yeare Shall then get light and shine full cleare While England then for joy shall sing And blesse the reigne of their good King Mother Shiptons Prophesie more ample and fuller than ever before printed VVHen stern wars shall in England raigne The plough shal cease Citizens gain By those have least least shall be lost And worst for them that have the most You shall not know of war ore night Yet in the morning it shall affright And full three yeares this war shall last Before that it be done and ●as And when all the world is as lost It shall be then called Christs crost And where King Richard made his fray The● shall war for halfe a crowne a day To warfare they 'll say for your King But stir not upon paine of hanging For he that goes forth to complaine Shall never more returne againe Then Ravens on the Crosse shall sir And Nobles and Commons bloud think fit To drink then London wo is me For ever shall destroyed he Then York shall be besieg'd and they Shall keep them out till the third day After that they will let them in And to hang the Mayor they will begin The Sheriffes too and the Aldermen And make a Proclamation then That for twent●e yeares a house or Tower May be taken or any Bower Then never shall be wars againe Nor any Kings or Queenes shall reigne But the Kingdome govern'd by 〈◊〉 And then old York shall London●ed Then shall be a white Harvest of Corne Which shall by women kind he shorne Then in the North a woman shall say Mother I hav● seene a man to day There shall moreover for one man A thousand women be seene ●han On St. James Church hill a man sitting Shall be seene and his fill weeping A sh●p sailing on the Thames shall come Vp to the ci●●e of rich London A Ship master as he doth passe Shall say What a faire Citie this was Now nor ● house is left I think That for money can let 's have drink Thus Shiptons wife most strange events did shew In former times God grant they pr●ve not true FINIS Erroneous and popular opinions The preaching of the Gospell should have free passage Matters carried in a contrarie manner Ignorant Preachers Schollers grow contemptible Dogged and dissenting ●ime The Round-heads Cuckow-like exclaiming against the Cross● Brownists 〈◊〉 to fire and Tame fire in Welch make Puritaine Women Preachers Ignorant discoursers of Religion Vnworthinesse shall be advanced Relations of war in pamphlets Defended Popularitie Young Statists Oxford and Cambridge Greedy Patentees Running away as Finch did Furious and factious zeale Many things in agitation Ministers accused The Earle of Strafford The Protestant Church The King and the Parliament Facticus sp●rits shall not disturb the peace Vnitie in Rel●gion 1649. or 1650. Charles our most gracious King Master Brightman makes Lao●icea the counterpane of England terming it lukewarme And as for reformation next specified he nameth the Church of England a Hotch-potch of cont●ar●●s not so cold to be all Romish nor so hot to admit a full reformation c. The Sco●tish Church typified by Philadelphia he saith shall be a virgin Church chaste and not so defiled with Romes superstitions as others The sayings of old Otwell Bins of Greishorow and delivered to him by Doulton a Seminary which Prophesie Mr. Smith Vicar of Hud-derfield in Yorkshire kept fortie yeares begins to shew how King Iames should weare the Crowne of England and raigne but halfe the time that Queene Elizabeth did Then it is shewed how the pride of the B●shops should lock some in pr●s●n And should also lop a head off as the Earle of Strafford And now since Religion hath been turned into a Comedy the Coblers ●eltmakers Brewers Clerks and women have acted their parts therin and like fooles beene only laught at while the Muses have been sorrie to see that Stultorum omnia sunt plena that the high study of Divinity should be mouth'd out of Tubs and be made the subject of foolish arrogancie Where you find these words there shall be a dolefull Tragedy Master Brightman saith that after it is past there will ensue abundance of peace and that before 1650 the Jewes shall bee called Rome demolished and the Pope quite vanquished overcome and that it shall be in destroying at the year 1686 in some of his Dominions Hee concludes that our King should be the tenth Worthy and that the Moone which is the Church should flourish in his raigne which God grant that it may to Gods glorie the honour of the King and the prosperitie of the Kingdom of England
