By what I have delivered out of many reverend mens Prophecies I onely evince thus much That the late King Charles was not the Lyon of the North or that his son it that Charles or that Eagle which the wise men of former times prophecied of or that he shall act either such wonderful Deeds in war or peace at the admirers of Grebners false printed prophecy would fasten upon him who say That a certain Northern King named Charles who shall marry Mary of the Popish Religion to his great unhappiness so that his people rejecting him shall set up an Earl of a very ancient Family who shall continue three years or thereabouts he dying they shall elect in his stead a Warlike Knight who shall rule a little longer after him they shall elect none But in the mean while one of Charles his stock shal land on the Sea Coasts of his Fathers Kingdom and with French Swedish Danish Hollandian Burgonian and German Forces in a most cruel Battel shall vanquish all his Enemies and afterward most happily govern his Kingdom and be greater than Charles the Great And about the year 1663. the King of the most ancient Britains for the losse of some Ships at Sea shall break his League and amity with the States of Holland who fearing shall have recourse unto the new King of Danes named Christiernus for succour and he by fair intreaties and large gifts shall win ei he side to agreement Nor doth he ever speak of England in all that samous Manuscript but as the most warlike and potent Kingdom in Europe Therefore all good Christians ought to wish the new Warre were concluded rather by an happy agreement and composition than by Sword and Musket and the King placed on his Throne rather with the hands of his loving and rejoyceful Subjects then with the Swords of Forraigners For if the beginning of his restauration be in blood and tumbling of Garments in blood the accomplishment of it will be with burning and fuel of fire I shall not spend much time in confutation of these many untruths and abusive Predictions referring the Reader only unto he true Original which I hereafter publish The true Prophecy of Paul Grebner a German presented to Queen Elizabeth A Fatal necessity having torne and pull'd from the House of Austria the old Roman Scepter and Diadem and after an oppression of the same Austrian House by the incursions of French English Danish Swedish making their irruptions on all sides there shall arise a horrid bloody sharp contest in Europe which shall cruelly shake and break away part thereof yea shall expose the same being strangely spoiled and dismembred to egregious alterations A Swedish King then reigning shall be invited to that quarrel to break in upon Pomerane Mechlenburge and some Provinces belonging to Denmark being provoked by some offensive Papers of the Romish See whereunto if he shall hearken he shall unseasonably and very unprosperously become an Allie to one that is most neer and intimate to him Wherefore I advise the Swede to leave him in the same state wherein he findes him By which meanes He his Family and Posterity remaining contented with the

bounds of their own natural Dominions shall preserve intire and keep in good order and allegiance their own Subjects officiously disposed to peace and tranquillity But if he shall in his heart propose to pervert his Subjects by fair perswasions God shall soon cut him off And then from a Charles a great Charles shall obtain the Scepter who with great success and prosperity shall reign over the Northern parts of the world yea the same Charles shall much break the Power and Tyranny of the Spaniard and obtain a signal Victory over his Navy and Armadoe And after the conjunction of his Forces with the States of Christendom He shall win a difficult cruel Battel After this God shall remove his Popish Wife to the great terror of the Bishop of Rome who being incensed and stirred thereby King Charles shall profess hastily against Antichrist and joyning Forces with the German and other Allies shall become enemy to Him and the Crown of Spain both At that time shall the Swede be very succesfull and perform admirable service against the Enemy with Men and Ships as well by Land as by Sea Out of the Manuscript of Paul Grebner of Sneburgh remaining in the Library of Trinity Colleage in Cambridge given there by Queen Elizabeth Another Prophecy taken out of a certain Library AFter a certain time being past the tayle of the Virgin shall enter the Lyon and Scorpio shall ascend the back of Sagitary the Northern Kingdoms shall be wasted by Reapers the Southern Paincipalities shall end in dust and the powers of the Island Monarchies without either Bridle or Saddle shall be harnessed Cruel Warres shall be scattered by the winds and quell'd by a revengeful Hayle whose beginnings were by a staffe their growth and continuance by Bastards The Sunne it selfe shall play on the Timbrel clad with a Vermilion Coat and the Moon with Dun buskins shall amble to the Faire Laughest thou oh King But those on whom these things shall come for grief and sorrow shall pine away All these things shall scarce be accomplished when a Prince of Royal stock shall come forth crowned from the Northern parts as to his own people unexpected but desired by forraigners who because he shall bear a rampant Lyon shall therefore be called a Lyon He shall not rest till having called a Synod and after dissolved it by threats he shall advance his conquering Armes against his Enemies and by woful success shall harrasse the territories of neighbor Princes He shall exceed Alexander the Great in vertue and Cyrus in success he shall passe the Seas and be saluted Emperour by many Kings A certain ancient City shall he say levell with the ground In the mean while a Powerful Prince out of the East shall provoke him to battle against whom the Lyon shall march with all his Forces and pitching his Camp on this side Euphrates shall expect him If the Prince shall come over the River the Lyon shall be overcome but he shall passe his Army over the River and give his enemy a bloody defeat and be Master of all the East Whilst these things are in action divers petty Kings from India shall break into Syria with mighty Armies and provided for Battlle shall wait for the Lyon about the Valley of Iehosaphat where they shal by him be all wholly cut off Not long after shall the Wars shall cease after that with eminent piety he shall have established the Kingdom of Fugitives Our Authour is now ingenuous whilst he confesseth there is nothing more extant of this Scotish Merlines but this only peece I would know of the wisest man living how this Prophecy had it not seemingly tended to this purpose we had not seen this rarity but if we admit it once can it any way prejudice our present State or further the present Scotish King for wherein is he nominated in this or Scotland it self it rather seemes a general Prophecy of the last times Certainly had King Iames been a Warlike Prince many things herein might be appropriated unto him but because of his extream cowardize its fit not him We know he was called the Lyon of the North and that he procured the Synod of Dort and how he was reputed righteous c. but it had no relation unto him nor hath it any to the present Scotish King the very words of the Prophecy are so significant they need no refutation or further exposi●ion they agreeing wholly with many others in the sam thing viz. That a certain Prince shall in the last times arise who shall oever-run all Europe suddenly and also destroy some Eastern Princes To make an end of this Story I shall conclude with the Prophecie of Sybilla Tiburtina long since made publique unto the world Which Prophecie of hers followeth Orietur Sydus in Europe Supra Iberes admagnam Septentrionis domum c. In English thus A Star shall arise in Europe over the Iberians towards the great house of the North whose beams shall unexpectedly enlighten the whole World This shall be in a most acceptable time when as mortal men being wearied with war and arms shall unanimously be desirous to embrace peace Certainly in those times it will be stoutly controverted who shall be the best man or unto whom the greatest Dominion may befall during a vacancie of a Governour and whilest there is an Interregnum or discontinuance of some prisoners But at length the Off-spring of a most ancient Family prevails and will proceed in a course of war untill contrary Fortune overthrow him For even at the same time or near unto the setting of this Star or dying of the Prince signified by that Star a light as ancient as the former shall break out burning with more eager flames of war and shall inlarge his Dominion unto the Coast of the Antipodes It hath been the onely labour of this Discourse all along to manifest unto this Nation first That the present King of Scots is not that great Charles intended in Grebner or any other Prophecy extanr either in Manuscript or in Print Secondly we have shewed from the writings of very famous men of what Nation the Great Charles or Lyon of the North shall be or Native of Thirdly we have examined the Prophecies both of the Scottish Welch and English Prophets and from their Writings have discovered That there are no more Kings to be expected to reign in England We have much reason to believe their sayings shall prove true having evidently beforehand known all or most of what they have prophecied to have exactly come to passe even in our own dayes and not before I do neither add nor diminish unto them I sparingly deliver my own conceptions nor do I paraphrase upon the Prophecies they are so plain and significant there is not in any of these any the least mention of this present King of Scotland nor is he called by the name of the Northern Lion or is he designed to be the Man who shall raise a fift
