X. The Heart Prophecy § 101.

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. The news of our Defensive League concluded with Holland which is now come after I had written this Post-script is a farther Verification of this Prophecy and an Introduction to that League which brings on what is Predicted in the following Lines and Years of this Heart Prophecy I conclude with the German Copies of a sudden happy Year Pag. 220.

XII § 105. FOr a close we will here add some other Prophecies which predict the Fall of Rome though they specify not the Hand that must destroy it to be from the North. And first let the Nun Hildegard speak Popes Cardinals c. saith she seek to defend what they possess unrighteously First with their Curse and shutting up the Heavens but the same will not serve nor shall Men fear it any whit Thus much of her Prophecy is fulfill'd at this Day After that she proceeds they will get them to their Armour and Weapons but against the Judgment of God they can do nothing for the time is come c. We see this fulfilled also in our Days for God hath both discovered their Policies and broken all the Powers they have hitherto brought against us § 106. Walter Linn in the ticklish Times of Edward the 6th's Reign towards the support of good Mens Hearts first translated out of the German Tongue and published certain Prophetical Emblems declaring the beginning and ruine of the Popish Kingdom these were Reprinted by John Charlewood in the Year 1588 of a good intent doubtless to encourage and animate his Countrymen against the Spanish Invasion they were of at least 300 Years standing at that time and taken at first out of some ancient Libraries as he relates The very first symbolizes with this of Hildigardis and shall therefore here accompany it I. The first Figure in that Book is a Pope with his Tripple Crown and Crosier feeding a devouring Bear with Money without any regard at all to the Holy Dove which sat on his left side This the German Author expounds thus by way of Question and Answer Quest Wherewith doth the Pope defend his Church now Answ With worldly Might and cruel Mercinary People signified by the Bear and not by the Spirit of Christ § 107. III. The third Figure represents a Pope on his Knees admonished by a Hand out of a bushy Tree pulled back by a Fox that lays hold on and tugs him by his Monks Hood that hangs down his Back The Monks and Jesuits are as it were the tail of the Roman Beast or Papacy and are the means by which the Pope and Roman Church are pull'd and held back as it were from hearing the good Counsels sent them from Heaven for their Reformation attending to his Admonitions or regarding the workings of his Hand and Arm bared against them who thereby render all their Devotions fruitless and ineffectual whilst Policy over-rules Piety § 108. V. In the fifth Figure the Pope with his Sword thrusts the Holy Lamb through the Heart For which the Devil gives him Keys i. His Papal Power and Might the Keys of Hell § 109. VI. The sixth represents the Pope in his Robes with his Crosier and Keys and with a Treasure of Duckets a Serpent and a Cock on his right Hand and a Lamb with his Head cut off laid at his feet This the German Author thus interpreteth the Pope partly by the sense awful respect of his Cross and Keys and partly by the power of the Devil and help of France utterly subdues the innocent Lambs of Christ's Flock § 110. XII XIII XIV A Bear with Whelps sucking on her fall on the Pope A Fox runs away with his Banner and Keys And at last he is set naked on the Ground and derided by a Clown X. The Unicorn pushing down the Pope's Triple Crown is above See Chap. II. § III. Let our Countryman take the next turn who thus Muses That Year in which Rome's long-liv'd Empery Shall from the Day in which it was at height Sum up MDCLXV and I In order as those Letters here I write That Year that Day that Hour will put a Date To her Usurped Power reserving neither Top Root or Branch of that accursed State Nor Limb nor Body Hand Horn Claw or Feather For here are all the Numerals of Rome In order as they are in Valuation Without Disorder Want or Iteration Nor shall it longer stand or sooner fall If I mistake not Him who Governs all That Kingdom then the Jew did long ago Mould out according to his erring Brain And whereof many zealous Christians too Unwarrantable Fancies entertain That Kingdom whereof now in Types we hear Shall to the World essentially appear So be § 112. The next shall be the Latine Prophecy transmitted to us from Reuchline Erasmus Lipsius and Jane Dousa the younger which pretends to tell us the precise Year of the fall of Turk and P●pe c. Post mille expletos à partu Virginis annos Et post Sexcentos ru●sus ab orbe datos Nonagessimus Octavus mirabilis annus Ingruet is secum gaudia multa feret Corruet hoc Anno Turcarum invisa propago Roma tuum in libris fabula nomen erit Omnia tunc Mundi retro ibunt atque deorsum Imperia ut Populos Sceptra novella premant Utque suum cunctas verbum defundat in oras Christus imperitet nomine ubique suo § 113. Thus Englished by my Author Six thousand Years from Virgins Birth expir'd Six hundred unto that acquir'd The famous Ninety Eighth Year shall come on Full of great Contentation This Year the Turkish hateful race shall rue Rome for a Fable pass not true Then shall be tost all Kingdoms of the World And into a new Kingdom hurld That into all Coasts Christ his Word may spread And be alone his Peoples Head NB. This harmonizes exactly with the Heart Prophecy See there the Years 1693 1699. § 114. I find a Prophecy transcribed by Paraeus into his Exposition of the Revelation with the following Title which accords very well with this and besides pretends to intimate to us who that Christian Prince shall be who shall Conquer both Pope and Turk and Reduce the whole World to the Obedience of Christ Obiter in gratiam lectorum inquit huc lubet excribere Prophetiam ex antiquissimo codice M. S. in aedibus praepositi Saleziani reperto nuper ad me missam Cui tribuat quisque quantum vult certe a presenti oraculo quantum ad Romae excidium non aberrat sic igitur id habet Surget Rex ex Natione illustrissimi Filii forte Lilii habens frontem longam

as it hath done manifestly ever since he wrote and Christianity be eclipsed in an higher measure and the true Worshippers of God decrease above whatever yet hath been done Though Protestantism in many Coasts and Countries shall be totally swallowed up of Popery and Mahomitanism More lamentable Wars and fearful Massacres rage through England Germany France Spain Italy and all European Monarchies than we have yet beheld and though some of these Kingdoms wholly revolt to Popery others be Lukewarm and at a stand until 1686 yet all these shall but make way for the final Eradication of the Enemies of the Church and the glorious and wonderful Birth and Erection of the Fifth Fourth Monarchy Universal which shall be brought forth by these Pangs and Sorrows of Christendom Now Judgment must begin not at the Temple of Antichrist but House of God And what Blood soever is shed upon the Soil of the Christian Church shall be no other than fruitful Showres and warm Seasons to make the Field of the Church more pregnant in the production of that glorious Harvest of Saints which shall cover the World so he and our English Seers consent He that comes with the Chicken of the Eagle saith one i. that Landed with him the dreadful Dead Man his right Character in several respects Invades and wastes England with Fire and Sword two Years he that intro duces Popery c. Arise Evans saith he cannot be Crowned for all that He saw five young Faces in the Royal Line succeed one another in an uninterrupted Series and there are just so many now alive C. M. A. J. W. and he of them who overcomes his Popish Enemies England hath no other in a Bloody Battel Erit Carolo magno major § 121. So hitherto there is little encouragement for the Pope's Nuncio to come amongst us with his Consecrated Banner he may spill and let out much of our corrupted Blood but shall never reach our Heart See the Arch-Bishop of Armath's Printed Prophecy To be sure no old dotard Pope shall ever be Crowned in England however Gadbury and his Stars flatter him if Arise Evans were a Prophet The German Enthusiasticks sing the same Tune with ours Cotterus 1621.

Jul. 2. Opus meum promovebo concitatione omnium gentium adversus invicem ut quidquid mali est Idolatrici mibique voluntati meae contrarii corruat prius evertatur funditus When I have set before the Reader the judgment of a learned and pious Bishop concerning these Predictions I will conclude Periculosum est saith he Prophetica tractare negocia Quia materia haec humanum excedit captum super hoc lubricum facile est labi And again Omnium Prophetiarum haec est proprictas ut prius impleantur quam intelligantur And from Acts v. 38. Nihil mali invenimus in Homine isto quod si Spiritus ei locutus est aut Angelus ne repugnamus Deo Lastly Desino autem argumentis Divina haec esse non humana pugnare Propriae id cujusque hominis conscientiae ac circumspectioni divinaeque illuminationi committens Thus the Publisher of these in his last Edition pretends he dare not contend much less dare I to try is all Mens duty Irenaeus l. 2. c. 57. p. 218. Alil à praescientiam habent futurorum Visiones dictiones Propheticas consule ejus commentatorem § 122. To fill up this vacant Page it will not be amiss nor tedious if I parle a little with my Reader about our Modern Prophecies at parting Prophecy in what concerns the Fundamentals in our Religion and saving Faith is certainly at an end The Spirit of Prophecy foretelling Mercies and Judgments for Reward and Encouragement of well and for Punishment of or Repressing evil doers is not as is manifest and undeniable being plain matter of Fact in and by many Revelations fulfilled fore-known or fore-seen and testified by many living Witnesses and Records Some are here inserted many more might be produced Those of the Reverend Arch-Bishop of Armath of the Fire of London and other particulars long since fulfilled and those yet to come then most unlikely when foretold now seem hardly to be avoided and need not be here repeated because notoriously published and known to this whole Kingdom I hope it will be no offence if I add hither one conspiring wholly with his which hath been thus related to me § 123. A Manuscript Book was brought a little before the Fire of London 1666 to a Bookseller by an unknown Person who desired to have it Printed and Published which declared before-hand what came to pass as Predicted in that Fire The Bookseller refused to Print it because it was not Licensed so the Author took away his Book with him In the time of the Fire this Bookseller being very busie saw this Author passing by and told him That because he had so plainly predicted it he had cause to suspect that his hand was in it Nay replied the strange Author if I had been accessary to so wicked a purpose I would not have offered my Book to Publication which I wrote for the discovery and prevention thereof And added There will follow a more dreadful execution by Sword than this by Fire and after that a Famine if God deal with us as we deserve § 123. Ambiguous Predictions like those of the Sybils and some Delphic Oracles without reference to particular Times Places Persons Groundless Figments Gipsy-like Prognosticators Welch Impostors Telesen Panther Shipton's Prophecy and many such like which walk about disgrace not sober Predictions and Premonitions grounded on sound Reason and agreeable to Divine Truth I will conclude with Walter Linn's Admonition to the Reader of certain German Emblem Prophecies Published by him first in Edward the 6th's ticklish Reign and Reprinted seasonably in 1588 for our Protestant Countrymens encouragement when the invincible Crusado and Navy invaded us Whether these saith he or such like Prophecies be of God or no let the Godly judge But surely it is commonly seen when God will shew his Displeasure and Indignation and intends to bring to pass some great Act that all Creatures do prophesie before and give Warning although it help but little Prophets prophesied the Subversion of Jerusalem Christ threatned the Apostles warned all availed not They heard Voices in the Temple they saw Signs in the Element they heard Battels in the Clouds Mad-men and such as were out of their Wits did prophesie it unto them but all these Signs prevailed not They were destroyed because they despised God's Word Even so it shall happen to the Papists Daniel Zachary Christ Paul 2 Tim. 2. 1 Tim. 4.
