Good and Joyful NEWS FOR ENGLAND OR THE PROPHECY Of the Renowned Michael Nostradamus THAT Charles the II. Of Great Britain France and Ireland KING Defender of the Faith c. Shall have a SON of his own Body lawfully begotten that shall succeed him in the Imperial Throne of Great Britain and all other his Dominions and Reign long after his Father most fortunately and well beloved As it was taken out of the Translations of Dr. Theo. Garencieres M. D. Col. Lond. Printed 1672. in Fol. With Observations concerning the present BLAZING-COMET By J. B. Philalelos a true and faithful Protestant of the first and best Rate and Rank LONDON Printed for Allen Banks 1681. § 1. THis Michael Nostradamus was a Physician a Frenchman and a Papist and yet was a man of a sober conversation and spake of many things that are utterly opposite both to the French and Popish Interest and so by consequence of his own too and therefore may so much the more aptly be credited in those things at least which appear to be so § 2. What is the Reputation of his Prophecies for matter of the verity of them is so well known all over Europe and especially among the Learned who read what is written that it needs not my Commendations or Testimony It is observed unto admiration by all that have read him how strangely he has forewarned of all the great things that of late years have been acted among us § 3. The Late Wars the Treachery of the Scots in betraying the King 〈…〉 .10 〈…〉 0,54 〈…〉 .10 〈…〉 6. 〈…〉 4.89 〈…〉 49. 〈…〉 .10 〈…〉 6.46 〈…〉 7.13 〈…〉 6.74 〈…〉 84. 〈…〉 .9.2 〈…〉 53. 〈…〉 .2.51 he has noted Also how the Senate of London should put their King to death and banish his Son and after be Tributary to one with a bald head for fourteen years how the King should be restored and how there would come Plague and Fire in London because of the Just man that was put to death And many other such like things he hath written of which have all proved very true the most of which woful experience is able to testifie And some indeed are such as we may justly remember with great joy § 4. True it is indeed that many of his Prophecies are written in mystical and close Riddles not to be understood as a man runs and reads But yet are they such as a man who understands History State-affairs and something of Astrologie and indeed a taste of all sorts of Learning may aptly with labour and industry unlock the greatest scrutinies thereof and when they are open'd they are as plain and easie as the King's High-way § 5. And whether it was Naturally or Divinely that the man came by these things God knows but certain it is he has been so very lucky in all his predictions that I could never hear of any one saying of his that was certainly fathered by him and allowed by his Executors and that was rightly understood that ever was found faulty And now having thus far bespoken my Author come we to his Prophecies And first see what he says in general of our Kingdom of England Cent. 10. Stanza 100. The great Empire shall be in England The Pempoton for more then 300 year Great Armies shall pass through Sea and Land The Lusitanians shall not be contented there Here the only hard words are but two whereof Pempoton shall seem to signifie a Toss-pot or Good-fellow and by Lusitanians which do properly signifie the Portugals may seem to be meant of the Spaniards for so is his way by some portion thereof to speak of a whole Country The rest is plain according to the literal sence § 6. Next see what he says of his own Country and Kingdom in relation unto us Cent. 3. St. 49. Cent. 9. St. 6. There shall be in Guienne an infinite number of English Who shall occupy it by the name of Angle-Aquitain Of Languedoc I by the Land of Burdeaux Which afterwards they shall call Bardoxitane And again Cent. 6. St. 43. Cent. 9. St. 38. The coming in at Blay by Rochel and the English Shall go beyond the great Aemathien Not far from Agen shall expect the French Help from Narbonne deceived by Entertainment We see here how plainly this man forewarns his own Country-men that they shall be utterly conquered and over-run by the English He names how they shall Land at Blay by Rochel and shall possess all the Country of Guienne and people it with Englishmen and shall have Languedoc and the Island called I and all the Country as far as the great Aemathien by which he means Germany as he usually calls the Empire by that name And many more sayings to the same purpose I could bring to shew and confirm the same thing Cent. 3 St. 49. Cent. 6. St. 43. Cent. 6.7 1.84 Cent. 7 1● 3.8 Cent. 8. 2.87 6.12 and that it is to be done in this Age by our present King And I can further shew out of the same Author that the same Prince shall conquer Spain and be Emperour of all Europe and dethrone the Pope and advance the true ancient Catholick and Apostolick Faith all over Christendom But my business at present is to comfort my Country-men against their present sorrows and amazements and to rid them of their fears of Popery by reason of his Royal Highness the Duke of York whom they generally fear to be a Papist Now what Religion the Duke is really of I am not to examine only this I say that so far as the credit of the famous Nostradamus is able to warrant his present Majesty Charles the II. of Great Britain France and Ireland King Defender of the true ancient Catholick and Apostolick Faith will have an Heir of his own Body lawfully begotten as appears by this following Stanza Prophecies of the year 1600. St. 4. Du rond d'un Lis naistra un si grand Prince Bien tost tard venu dans sa Province Saturn en Libra en Exaltation Maison de Venus en descroisante force Dame en apres Masculin soubs l'Escorie Pour maintenir l'heureux sang de Burbon In English thus From the round of the Lilly shall be born a great Prince Soon and late come into his Province Saturn in Libra being in Exaltation The House of Venus being in a decreasing strength A Woman afterwards with a Male under the Bark To maintain the happy bloud of Burbon § 7. In this Prophecy we are to consider first who is this so great Prince born as the Prophet calls him and next who shall be his Heir As for the so great Prince born true it is he is not called by name but yet is he described by a character as sure as if he were so He is to be one who was to be born when the Planet Saturn should be in the Sign called Libra which is a Sign of the House of Venus and Exaltation of Saturn Next he
