Remarks upon the DREAM Of the late Abdicated Queen of England And upon that of Madam the D. of La Valiere Late MISTRESS to the French King c. REMARKS upon the DREAM Of the late Abdicated Queen of England And upon that of Madam the Dutchess of La Valiere Late Mistress to the French King AND NOW NUN of the Order of Bare-Footed-Carmelites at PARIS By the Author of the Harmony of PROPHESIES c. Being the Paper the Publisher whereof was Condemned last Month to be Broken alive on the Wheel by the Parliament of Roan Done from the French Copy Printed at Amsterdam LONDON Printed for Tho. Salusbury at the Sign of the Temple near Temple-Bar in Fleet-street and are to be sold by R. Baldwin in the Old-Baily 1690. Advertisement THis Paper is written by a Divine that has made himself famous by his Writings against the Romish Church and who has of late written several Books about a Revolution he says is to happen within a few Years in Europe which he founds upon the Apocalipse may be read more safely in England than in France to which it relates in part for there is no hazard of being broken alive upon the Wheel for Reading or Publishing it here as has been the fate of so doing in France And if the other Explication of these two Dreams done by Monsieur Agendar at the French King's desire come to my hands the Reader shall have it likewise that he may be in a better condition to pass his judgment on both and give the Palm to which of them he thinks deserves best Remarks upon the Dream Of the late Abdicated Queen of England And upon that of Madam the Dutch of La Valiere Late Mistress to the French King c. THE Occasion of Publishing the following Dreams and Explication of it A Page of the late Queen of England came on Munday the 9th of January 1689 90 to Monsieur Leonard the French King's Bookseller in Paris and told him his Mistress was desirous to speak with him immediately Whereupon Monsieur Leonard having gone incontinent to wait upon the Queen she told him She heard he was printing an Explication of the King of France his Dream which had made so great a noise at Court written by Monsieur Agendar And she desired he would with the King's leave add to that of the King 's a Dream she had had herself on Christmas-Night Which the Bookseller promising to do the late Queen caused my Lady Salisbury one of her Ladies to deliver him a Paper of the Tenour following The DREAM itself UPon Saturday night the 24th of December after having heard the Midnight-Mass I went to Bed very much troubl'd in mind about four a Clock in the Morning there appeared to me in my sleep four Persons whom I knew not and who stood a long time before me without speaking a word at last the Eldest of them whose Face resembled a mixture betwixt a Mans and Womans said to me Great Princess Yet within three and a half and the fourth part of a half and he shall be no more Two Claps of Thunder having set my Chamber on Fire those four Persons thereupon disappeared Immediately thereafter I thought I saw a Woman mounted on a Camel who would needs have me to follow her with the little Prince of Wales saying She would take me to a blessed Place I followed her and she led me I thought through an Arbour full of Flowers where all things seemed Enchanted here we met with a Prince who look'd as one that had been once very strong but who now had his right Arm and his left Ear cut off and two Monks help'd him to walk But just when those Persons were beginning to speak to us a Whirlwind in a moment separated us from them and we were carried thence into a thick dark Wood where there was no other light but a little Moon-shine here there arose a thick and stinking Rynd of Mist which necessitated my Comerade and me to embark ourselves upon the Ocean and whereupon we arrived at last at the Elezian Shades Just at our arrival there the terrour which was upon me forc'd me to awaken and I found myself all over in a sweat and my Face and Pillows all be-dewed with Tears so terrible a Fright had the Dream put me in The Explication of the Dream BEfore I come to Explain this Exil'd Queen's Dream it 's fit we should know she is by birth an Italian Princess a Bigotted Papist and much devoted to the Pope and to the Jesuits Thence it was she entertain'd a firm Design to Ruine the English and to Extirpate the Protestant Religion to succeed in this damnable Design she pretended a Prince of Wales was born and was the occasion thereby of that Tragi-Comedy so known to all Europe and of her own and the Flight of K. James her Husband out of England And as she is the principal Person concern'd in this Tragedy it has pleased GOD by this Vision to give her the just Marks of his Anger and Displeasure against those of that Party This Queen after having heard Midnight-Mass went to Bed very much troubled in mind This Trouble of Mind was a Preludium to that terrible Vision that was to follow The Prophet says There is no peace says my GOD to the sinner And thence certainly it was this Princess was disquieted at going to Bed Why she had this Dream on Christmas-night I shall shew afterwards About four a Clock in the Morning there appeared to me four Persons whom I knew not who stood a long time before me without speaking a word This Vision happen'd at four a Clock in the Morning which is the ordinary hour of Dreams coming from God because at that time the Spirit is more free and not embaras'd with Vapors or with the Fumes arising from the first Digestion The Queen did not know these four Persons because God had left her to Blindness of Mind otherwise she might have easily known that it was the Great Whore and the Signagogue of Satan she saw before her These four Persons stood a long time without speaking It pleased God this Vision should stay a long time before this Unhappy Queen to the end she might be the more assured of the truth of that Divine Revelation At last the Eldest of them whose face resembled a mixture betwixt a Mans and a Womans This Hermophrodite is no other then the Pope who feigns himself to be GOD's Vicegerent upon Earth when he is at the same time the Great Whore mention'd in the Apocalipse In Dubritius his Revelations the Pope appear'd to him in the shape of a Woman with a Beard which is just as much as to say in the shape of a Hirmophrodite as here This Hirmophrodite said Great Princess Yet within three and a half and the fourth part of a half and he shall be no more This Expression evinces clearly that the Speaker is the Great Whore since she mentions exactly the time
