The wonderful Prophesies of old Mother Shipton in the time of King Henry the eight Together with several other very strange PROPHESIES WHen she heard say the King Henry should be King of the South and Cardinal Wolsey King of the North and dwell at the Mannure at York she said nay Cardinal Wolsey should never come to York Of this King Henr and the Cardinal hearing they were angry So the King sent to see if she would stand by her words the Lord Duke Lord Piercy and Lord Darcy who came with their Men disguised to Ring houses a Mile from York leaving their Men there went to York late at Night to Mr. Beasleys house in Cunny street and desired to speak with the Masters who came and they whispered in his ear to go to Shiptons Wife with them and they went and knocked at the Door and she said come in Mr. Beasley and these honourable Lords with you And then Mr. Beasley would have put the three Lords before and she said come in Mr. Beasley for you know the house and they do not This is a strange thing said they one to another that she knows us and never saw us before And they came in there being a good fire And Mr. Beasley said by your leave Mother Shipton and she said you are welcome Mr. Beasley Then the other three Lords said the like And she called them all by their names and bid them welcome and bid them sit down and bad her Maid fetch some Ale and Cakes and she did so And they all drank and were merrie Then said the Lord Duke if ye knew what we come about you would nor make so much of us And she said the messenger must be either hanged or headed Mother Shipton said the Duke Cardinal Wolsey saith you said he shall never see York Yes I said he might see York but never come at it The Duke said when Cardinal Wolsey comes to York We shall see that saith she and she had a kerchief on her head which had a Yard of Cloath in it And she took it off her head and her head was as white as wool and she spread it on her knee and threw it in the fire and let be in there a great while And when she saw that it would not burn she took her staff and turned it in the Fire and it would not burn then she took it off the fire and shaked it and put it on her head again Now said the Lord Duke mother Shipton what mean you by this she said if this had burned I might have burned also mother Shipton said the Duke what must I do my Lord said she the time will come when you shall be in as low office as I am in and that is a low office indeed Then said the Lord piercy Mother Shipton what must I do My Lord said she shooe your horse in the quick and you shal do well if not your head shall be stoln from the Barr and carried into France And they laughed and said this is a great hop indeed between the head and the body Then said the Lord Darcy Mother Shipton what must I do ye have meade a great Gun said she shoot it off for it will never do you good you are going for warfare but you will pine many a man but kill none So they drank and give her mony and went to Mr Beasleys house and lay there all night The next morning they went up to the King Soon after the Cardinal came to Cawood and stayed there three days and three nights And the third day the Cross of the house top fell down and brake the Stewards head The Cardinal hearing of it said I fear a geater cross then this In the Afternoon the Cardinal went to the top of the house and many Knights with him He asked where stood York And they shewed him where it stood How far is it thither said he and they answered seven miles saith he one said I shall never see York Nay my Lord said one of the knights she said you might see York but never come at it Then he made a vow he would burn her and the priests that boarded at her house if they lacked their vestments the Priests hearing of this were fore afraid And she had them keep themselves content and they should have twenty to morrow if they would Then a night the Cardinal supped and after supper he charged that no man should come in And when the company was gone that supped with him the Lord piercy came to the gate and knocked the porter asked who was there Saying that no man might come in The Lord Piercy thereupon changed his name for one of the kinsfolk of the Cardnial and so got in And when he saw the Lord Piercy he said mercy my Lord Piercy No traitor said tho Lord Piercy thou shalt to London And they set him upon a Horse and rode for London with him And Shiptons wife said to Mr. Beasley yonder is a goodly stal made for the Cardinal in the Ministers of gold pearle and precious stones go pull down one of the pillars and present it King Henry as she bad him and so he did Now the third day as the Cardinal was going towards London he poysoned himself and so he died Mr Beasley came again to mother Shipton and said I pray you tell me some of your prophesies Mr. Beasley said she Before Owzebridge and Trinity Church meet They shall build in the day and it shal fall down in the night unless they get the highest stone in Trinity
