29. And whereas thou sawest two under Wings that went off towards the Head which was on the right side this is the inpretation 30. These are they whom the most High hath preserved for their end whose Kingdom is little and full of trouble as thou sawest 31. And the Lion which thou sawest rising up out of the Wood and roaring and speaking to the Eagle and rebuking her for Unrighteousness with all the words which thou hast heard 32. This is the Wind which the most High hath kept for them for their Wickedness unto the end and he shall reprove them and cast before them their Spoils 33. For he shall set them alive in the Judgment and shall rebuke them and correct them 34. For he shall deliver the residue of my People by Affliction which are preserved upon my Borders and he shall make them joyful until the coming of the Day of Judgment whereof I have spoken unto thee from the beginning 35. This is the Dream that thou sawest and these are the interpretations Thus far the Angel Uriel to Esdras CHAP. XIII 1. ANd it came to pass after seven days I dreamed a Dream by Night 2. And lo there arose a Wind from the Sea that it moved all the Waves thereof 3. And I beheld and lo that Man waxed strong with the thousands of Heaven 25. This is the meaning of the Vision Whereas thou sawest a Man coming up from the midst of the Sea 26. The same is he whom God the Highest hath kept a great season which by his own self shall deliver his Creature and he shall order them that are left behind 29. Behold the days come when the most High will begin to deliver them that are upon the Earth 30. And he shall come to the astonishment of them that dwell on the Earth 31. And one shall undertake to fight against another one City against another one Place against another one People against another and one Realm against another 32. And the time shall be when these Things shall come to pass and the Signs shall happen which I shewed thee before and then shall my Son be declared whom thou sawest as a Man ascending 33. And when all the People hear his Voice every Man shall in their own Land leave the Battel they have one against another 34. And an innumerable multitude shall be gathered together as thou sawest them willing to come and to overcome him by fighting 35. But he shall stand upon the top of the Mount of Sion 36. And Sion shall come and shall be shewed to all Men being prepared and builded like as thou sawest the Hill graven without Hands 39. And whereas thou sawest that he gathered another peaceable Multitude un-unto him 40. Those are the ten Tribes NB. That in the famous Book by some called the Baby Prophecy sometimes in the custody of the Earl of Marlborough or a Copy of it seen and remembred by several Persons of Honour yet alive and for the most part fulfilled in innumerable Particulars * Generosa Nobilitas non sinet ei fieri malum The Nobles and Gentry shall suffer no Wrong to be done to the King nor his Crown the present King of England survives the last great Battel And as here the end of all those Prophecies is the Conversion of the Eastern Jews for their Habits mistaken for Turks I would not any much should trust or fear Such Prophecies but when Events appear To answer unto that which was foretold Wise Men should make what use of them they could And so direct their Actions that Hell's Charms And Cheating Riddles may not do them harms i. e. By Justice and Mercy towards Men and Piety to God Anonymous future History of Europe SECT 11. § THe two Books of Esdras are thought and that by none of the least Learned St. Augustine St. Ambrose Tostatus Scaliger the Elder Melancthon Arias Montanus Bucer and Bibliander to be Canonical because of the most eminent fulfilling of many Predictions in them contained In the 11th Chapter of the second of those Books there is under the Type of an Eagle a manifest Prophecy both of the Roman Heathenish Empire as likewise of the Papacy with her chief Leaguers to this present Time throughout the whole Chapter This Eagle is the Roman Heathenish Empire her twelve Feathered Wings are the twelve first Emperours from Julius Caesar to Nerva The three Heads are the Kingdoms of France Spain and Germany preordained of God to maintain the power of her Pride when all her Wings her Heathenish and Tyrannical Caesars should fail her Nevertheless under her twelve first Caesars are comprehended in general all the Emperours which Reigned in her from Julius Caesar who first crackt the strings of her Liberty to Augustulus Momyllus her last Roman Caesar for the space of 474 Years Her eight contrary Feathers are the eight terrible Inundations of several Nations from the North God's Scourges which overwhelmed her fairest Provinces sunk her State in Blood and by Fire and Sword humbled her as low as the Dust she trod on viz. 1. Alaricus and his West Goths 2. Attilas and his Huns. 3. Gensericus and his Vandals 4. Odoacer 5. Theodoricus and his East Goths 6. Totilas and his Spaniards 7. Alboinus and his Longobards who deposed her Diminutive Gaesar Augustulus Momyllus 8. And lastly The intestine Home-bred Faction and Conspiracy which proved more Pernitious than the rest as all intestine Diseases are the worst which in the Reigns of Otho the Great Otho the III and Frederick the II so often strove to eradicate the Papal Superiority and re-edifie her S. P. Q. R. buried so many Ages ago out of the Ruines of the City The Head in the midst is the German Empire begun A. C. 801 on Christmas Day by Charles the Great which though v. 32. it long did and yet doth put the Earth in great fear yet v. 33. must vanish in an instant as did the Wings and come to nought The German Empire thus destroyed v. 35. The Head on the right side the Kingdom of Spain must devour the Head on the left side the Kingdom of France Therefore it is manifest that the Kingdom of France though now it flourisheth in what Glory and Magnificence the Earth can afford must ere long be humbled by the Power of Spain with many Discomfitures and brought to doleful Straits and great Perplexities I my self have observed how that Year in which the Figures of the Golden Number were equal to the Figures of the Year of Christ hath ever proved Fatal to that Monarchy It was so with them from 1570 to 1576 In all which seven Years the Guisian Faction made lamentable Havock of the Church of God and the Kingdom So shall it be in that Year in which the final Tragedy of that Kingdom shall be acted six Years after which France shall be no more But when that shall be no sign of Europe shall remain nor remembrance where the Walls of Rome stood §

and Family must extinguish by the lustre of that Reformation the Superstitions and Idolatries of Rome and give that blow with a Stone cut out without Hands from the Mountain on the feet of the last Supporter of Satan's Kingdom the Roman Monarchy being also the basest and worst constituted of incoherent Iron and Clay and grind it to Dust and disperse the Remnants of it to all the Winds as Daniel prophesies § 39. There being the same reason for us to look out for some new Kingdom in these Northern parts to which these Stars were perpendicular as there was for those Wise Men in the East to look for a King born in Judea by the Star they saw in the East Nor doth the moveableness of that and fixedness of these make as to our purpose any considerable difference for it was necessary that those Eastern Magi who sought one particular Person should be guided by a Star so moveable that its perpendicular Rays might point out Bethlehem and our Blessed Saviour's Person to them that they might bring to him their Gold and other Treasures But to discover to our Wise Men in the North the Kingdom to which the Honour is reserved in this last and worst Age to reform the Religion and Manners of the whole World according to Christ's Rule both for Spirituals and Civils it sufficed that such new Stars did appear unto them fixed in the Starry Orb as by their motion therewith might describe a Circle wherein at the time of their appearance that Reformation and Kingdom did first rise and appear Now if we enquire what Reformation did appear in the World about the time of the appearance of the Star in Cassiopaea's Chair near the Circle its direct Rays did describe upon the Globe on the Earth we shall find that of Queen Elizabeth and no other And again if we seek what Kingdom did arise about that time the Star first appeared in the Swans Neck within the Northern Circle described by its perpendicular Beams we shall find no other than the Monarchy of Great Britain then founded by King James and transmitted from him to our present Soveraign Charles the II the first of English Birth who sway'd the Scepter Allowing what those ancient Prophecies here subscribed § 40. Bruti Posteritas Albanis associata Anglica Regna premet peste labore nece Consurgent Britones Albanae Gentis amici Antiquum nomen Insula tota feret Ut profert Aquila veteri de Turre loquuta Gum Scotis Britones Regna Paterna gerent Long time the British and the Scotish Race The English Realm with War Plague Toyle deface Till a Friend rise to Scots of British Stem Then British Scots their Father's Diadem Resume and all the Isles its ancient Name Thus did the Eagle from th' old Tower proclaim § 41. And to cherish our hopes the Motto's of this Monarchy and its Impressures fixed on its Coin and elsewhere do happily conspire Namely That Motto of the first Christian Emperour Constantine the Great our Countryman In hoc Signo vinces referred by the Cross to Christ's Death And that other of like import Duce Auspice Christo That Kingdom prosper and subdue all must Whose Standard Christ's Cross is Christ guide and trust § 42. A King of British Blood in Cradle Crown'd With Lion markt shall joyn all British Ground So Sir William Maurice of North-Wales repeated in English Merlin's Prophecy of 600 Years standing CHAP. V. Thomas Pugh British Prophecies out of Maxwel 's Prophecies Sect. 16. Fol. 84. c. § 43. ACcording to the Confession of the Italian Jesuit Hieronimus Platus in the 2d Book of the Religious Life and 30th Chapter England hath been more fertile of Converters of Countries and Nations to the Christian Faith than any other Land whatsoever else So is it not unlikely but that God will have the same Country to be more fertile of many Reformers and other corrupt Churches especially that of Rome than any other Land whatsoever and to reclaim Rome and her Daughters from their Abuses and Corruption and to restore unto them their Primitive Purity and Integrity such as it was in the days of Constantine the Great Born in Great Britain § 44. So Nostradamus predicts That Rome shall be ruled by the Britanish Head In his first Century he saith that the new King that joyns the lower and Northern Countries of Europe shall be the Instrument of loss to the Church of Rome And that the Bishop of Rome together with his Clergy except they shew themselves willing to be reformed shall be made to spit Blood when the Rose shall flourish He promiseth in his 5th Century that of the Trojan Blood shall spring a Prince of a doughty Dutch Heart who shall attain to so high a Degree that he shall chase far away the Arabick or Mahometan multitudes and likewise return to the Church her ancient Eminency and Sincerity § 45. Out of the Library of St. Victor cited by the Abbot of Cluny it 's said Abbot Joakim said That the Red Rose should send forth the sweet Water that shall purifie and cleanse the Church from her Corruption Paracelsus Amongst the Roses shall spring up one who shall change the Sandy Foundation into a Rock § 46. Mr. George Maxwel from Sir George Norroy King at Arms Jessae Rosa sanguis Bruti Portat crucem Jesu Christi Christ's Cross displayed in England's Standard shows From British Blood must spring the Jessean Rose § 47. It seems that from the Rose of England shall proceed or spring the Reformation or Purgation of the Church of Rome Likewise the same City and Empire received from the same Country the first Authorized Profession of the Christian Faith by the blessed means of Constantine the Great a Britain born at York Grebner The Lion having the Rose and Lillies in his Arms shall utterly destroy the Pope so that there shall be none at that time § 48. Brithwald Bishop of Winchester in the Confessor's time saw in a Vision * NB. That the Kingdom of the English is the Kingdom of God and that it is as well by the gentle sweetness of its Yoake and Government like that of Christ as in other respects And by this we may understand how vainly the Antichristian Enemies pretend a right to it by this Prophecy and seek by force to Conquer it from Christ's Kingdom and to subdue it to their own Tyrany Regnum Anglorum est Regnum Dei Thus far my Author § 49. I shall only as to these Prophecies on what ground soever they proceed add this Observation for the Readers consideration That God whose Providence as is manifest by his Word is very uniform in his Justice upon the cruel Enemies of his People seems to have given warning to Rome and her Antichristian Confederates that as the Northern People raised up by his Spirit revenged the Blood of his Primitive Saints spilt by the Roman persecuting Heathen Empire on that Red Dragon so the League of Northern

X. The Heart Prophecy § 101. THe Heart Prophecy quoted in the Title Page written in Hebrew on Parchment and wrapped up in Lead in the form of a Heart was found under the Foundation of St. Denis Church in France by the Sexton of the place as he digged for the erecting of a Monument for the Lord Teligni Anno. Chr. 1616. He gave it to the Pope's Nuncio who rewarded him with 200 Dollars It was translated into Latine by John Barmarino Secretary to the Cardinal of Bruges who had it from the Nuncio and presented it to the young King Lewis the 13th Obruit Italiam saevo Mars impiuus ense Unica sunt Christi Pascua campus oves Totum operit Mundum terror ira Dei.

POST-SCRIPT § 103. IF we expound that Line of this Heart Prophecy which predicts the Rising up of some Illustrious Prince in the Year 1678 in these words Inclytus exurget factis Princeps Which we have rendred thus in English This Year doth a brave Prince up-rouse For great Atchievements Glorious And understand it after the usual manner of interpreting such Prophecies By Princes and their Names sometime their Families sometime the Kingdoms and Dominions they govern then in this latter sence also this Prophecy hath been remarkably verified amongst us For in no Year nor Age hath such a Spirit been raised in the Representative Body of any Kingdom or any Reformed Nation as hath been moved in the Parliament and People of England on so just weighty and unremoveable grounds against Rome and all its Agents Instruments and Favourers nor can it ever be possibly laid but must necessarily exert its vigour in great Actions under some Prince as God shall be pleased to move or direct them against his and their Enemies January 1679.
