This seems to hint at the too great Pride of France thinking to crave other Nations when it s own Ruin is near at hand Heaven in its Eternal decrees perhaps having designed to Infatuate their councels or devices which may be meant by the Rock signifying a thing insensible into which their projects and policies may be chang'd Pro. 10.

Many shall come and take of Peace between Monarchs and Lords very powerful but it shall not be agreed too so soon if they do not shew themselves more obedient than others Expl.

There shall be in Guynea an infinite number of English who shall occupy it by the name Angle Acquitaine of Languedock I. by the Land of Bourdeaux which afterwards they shall call Barboxitain Expl.

Against the Red Sex shall gather themselves Fire Water Iron Rape by peace it shall be destroy'd Those that shall conspire shall not be put to death except one who above all shall undo the work Expl. This demonstrates the Inveteracy of the Roman faction against the Protestants but that in the end signified here of their error in cruelty and turn their fury against the Disturber of Christendom who may be truly said to endeavour the ruin of the Christian world Pro. 14. Peace is coming on one side and War on the other There was never so great a pursuing Man Woman shall bewail the innocent blood that shall be spilt it shall be in France and on all sides Expl. This seems to promise happiness to come on one side and the miseries of war on the other as Armies in Rout c. signified by the great pursuing and the spilling of Blood in France which which shall be lamented but whether it shall be spilt in a Hostile way or by Execution the Author leaves doubtful Pro. 15. Foot and Horse upon the second watch shall come in destroying all by Sea they shall come into the harbour of Marseilles Tears Crys and Bloods never was so bitter a time Expl.

He that the Principality Shall keep by great Cruelty At last shall see a great Army By Fire blow most dangerously He shall do better by Agreement strange Otherways he shall drink the juce of Orange Expl. What can be more plain than this Relation to the late K. who shed so much Blood of his Subjects in the West and other places by the hands of Hang-men who at last had a great Army come against him and not making any timely Agreement he fled to France and being Abdicated by his people the Prince of Orange our present Soveraign was first invested by the Government by the way of Administration and soon after proclaimed King Pro. 19. The Purveyor shall put all in disorder Leech and Wolf do the burthen to me when Mars shall be in the sign of Aries joyned with Saturn and Saturnith the Moon then shall be thy greatest Misfortune the Sun being then in its Exaltation Expl. By the Purveyor our Author has all along meant the French King by the Leech the Spaniard and by the Wolf the Savoyard which are threatned with some Burnings or Ranagements by the French when Mars shall be in the sign of Aries c. but when this will happen we must leave to the event of time Pro. 20. The Fleet shall stand before the City then shall go away for a little while and then take a great troop of Citizens on Land the Fleet shall come back again and recover a great deal Expl.
