Sixe strange PROPHESIES Predicting wonderfull events to betide these years of Danger in this Climate whereof some have already come to passe Well worthy of Note The first being found in the Reigne of King Edward the Fourth The other in the Reigne of King Henry the Eight Printed by a true Copy with new Additions Viz 1 Mother Shiptons Prophesies 2 Ignatius Loyolla 3 Sybilla's Prophesies 4 Merlins Prophesies 5 Otwel Bins Prophesies 6 M Brightmans Prophesies Mother Shipton Wolsey Printed for Francis Coles 1642. The first Prophesie by Ignatius IF Eighty eight be past then thrive Thou maist till thirty four or five After the E is dead a Scot Shall govern there and if a plot Prevent him not sure then his sway Continue shall till many a day The ninth shal die young and the first Perhaps shall reigne but oh accurst Shall be ●he time when thou shalt see To sixteen joyned twenty three For then the Eagle shall hava help By craft to catch the Lyons whelp And hurt him sore except the same Be cured by the Maidens name In Iuly moneth of the same yeare Saturn conjoyns with Iupiter Perhaps false Prophets shall arise And Mahomet shall shew his prize And sure much alteration Sha happen in religion Beleeve this truly if then you see A Spaniard a Protestant to be● The lines I confesse impartially are very mysterious and withall they are involved in a stupendious obscurity They seem as aenigmaticall as Sphynx his hidden Riddle yet I doubt not but that your judicious minds will prove as auspicious unto this as Oedipus did to his You may enucleate the genuine sence and signification of the words if you doe but seriously revolve them When the formidable Armado was dessipated in Eighty eight this Kingdome did flourish a long time in peace and prosperous tranquillitie unto one thousand six hundred and thrirty foure or five After Queene Elizabeth died King Iames came out of Scotland and inherited the imperiall Crown after her A plot all men know was most nefariously hatched in his Reign to wit the Gunpowder Treason which not preventing him hee swayed the Scepter very peacefully in a great succession of future time Prince Henry the Ninth of that name died young and king Charles the first of that name reigned next in Majesty whom God long preserve and protect from the wicked plots of his enemies The beginning of these petrilous times began in 1639 The next foure verses I wll leave to the exposition of the Reader hereof The Philosophers have given their unite a stipulation with all the Astrologians have affirmed in their solid assertions that when Saturne hath any conjunction with Iupiter great wars and bloody times shall ensue and I am sure their opinions have not proved falliblem this respect Many false Prophets are now risen amongst us and doe Prophesie false things to the people who dare presume to preach in Tubs to their Schismaticall Auditors whom they delude and suggest vaine imaginations unto them that they are sent from Heaven and have the Spirit of God when they have nothing but the Spirit of errour and false-hood Mahomet hath shewn indeed his prize sufficiently amongst us for too many I suppose in our times rather Mahometans than true Christians The alteration of Religion hath been very great and tossed to and fro by the various winde of every ones opinion The last two Verses I refer to the judgement of the Reader for I will nominate no man particularly This Prophesie is stupendious and as it includes a mstyery so it includes verity withall as by the former it is involved in obscurity so by the latter it is illuminated in apparent truth The demonstration of Prophetick Divinations predictates the future estate of a Kingdome and whatsoever hath been expressed in this lately mentioned is already fulfilled in exemplary relations But the distracted opinions of most men are still so promiscuous that wee want Prophets enough to exclaime against them for some they will not bear others they neglect others they in a despicable detestation do contemne But God of his infinite mercy grant that we may hereafter all make true use of the sincere Prophesie of him and his Gospell that these various mists of errours may be expelled these roaring waves of Schisme may be calmed and the distempers of the whole Realme cured perfectly The second Prophesie of Mother Shipton WHen she heard King Henrie the Eight should be King and Cardinall Wolsey should be at York she said that Cardinall Wolsey should never come to York with the King and the Cardinall hearing being angry sent the Duke of Suffolke and the Lord Darcy to her who came with their men disguised to the Kings House neere York where leaving their men they went to Master Besley to Yorke and desired him to goe with them to Mother Shiptons house where when they came they knocked at the doore she said Come in Master Besley and those honourable Lords with you and Master Besley would have put in the Lords before him but she said come in Master Besley you know the way but they do not This they thought strange that shee should know them and never saw them then they went into the house where there was a great fire and she bade them welcome calling them all by their names and sent for some Cakes and Ale and they drunk and were very mery Mother Shipton said the Duke if you knew what we came about you would not make us so welcome and she said the messenger should not bee hang'd Mother Shipton said the Duke you said the Cardinall should never see Yorke yea said she I said he might see Yorke but never come at it But said the Duke when he comes to York thou shalt bee burnt Wee shall see that said she and plucking her Handkerchieffe off her head she threw it into the fire and it would not burne then she tooke her staffe and turned it into the fire and it would not burne then shee tooke it and put it on againe Now said she I might have burned Mother Shipton quoth the Duke what thinke you of me my Love said shee the time will come you will be as low as I am and that is a low one indeed My Lord Piercy said and what say you of me My Lord said she shooe your horse in the quick and you will doe well but your body will be buried in York pavement and your head shall be stoln from the Bar and carried into France Then said the Lord Darcy and what thinke you of me Shee said you have made a great Gun shoot it off for it will doe you no good you are going to warre you will paine many a man but you will kill none so they went away Not long after the Cardinall came to Cawood and going to the top of the Tower he asked where Yorke was and how far it was thither and said that one said hee should never see York Nay said one shee said you might
