8. “The victorious prince shall enter, in solemn procession, the
castle of Neuhaus, which shall be repaired (for the occasion?)
accompanied by many people with green boughs in their hats. On the
Johannes Bridge, before Neuhaus, there shall be such a crowd that a
child shall be crushed to death. While this goes on a great assembly
shall be held in and before the Rathhaus (Town House.) They shall
hurry (or drag) a man down from the Rathhaus, and hang him on a
lamp-post before it.
9. “When all these things shall have come to pass, then shall there be
a good time in the land. The convent (of Abdinghof) shall be restored;
and it will be better to be a swineherd here, in our land, than a
noble yonder in Prussia (proper).”
Next comes an old traditionary prophecy concerning Münster.
“Woe to thee, Münster! Woe to you, priests, doctors, and lawyers! How
shall it be with you in the days of sorrow?
“For three days they shall go up and down thy streets. Three times
shall the city be taken and lost.
“Let every man keep in the garret; thus shall he be safe. A dreadful
fire shall break out in and destroy Ueberwasser, so that it may be
seen from the cathedral place to the castle.
“The enemy shall be beaten, and shall fly through Kinderhaus so fast
that they leave their cannon on the street. All this shall happen in
the same year in which an illustrious person dies in the castle.
“The conquering prince shall make his entry through the Servatii-Thor,
(a gate).”
Part of this prophecy has been spread over the district of Münster for
sixty years; part of it comes from the tailor at Kinderhaus, who also
prophesied much to Blucher. He was one of the seers, or, as they are
called in that country, “Spoikenkikers.” “Spoikenkikers,” in high
German, signifies ghost or spirit; “Spoikenkikers” is our Scotch word
“Keeker,”—in high German, “Spoikenkikers.”
The next is an old prophecy concerning Osnabrück.
“Osnabrück shall suffer much for fourteen days, and see a bloody
contest in her streets.
“Even the service of the Greek Church shall be performed in the
churches of Osnabrück.”
This is quite possible, should Russians enter Westphalia. See Jaspers,
No. 9.
“A violent contest shall arise between Catholics and Protestants. All
the churches shall be again taken possession of by the Catholics.
“A priest, in the act of carrying the most Holy (the Host) into the
Lutheran Church, shall be killed by a ball at the church door.”
The three preceding prophecies are very remarkable, from the minute
details which they contain, and which seem to indicate that the seers
described _what they saw_ in visions or in dreams. Of course, most of
these visions, referring to events yet future, cannot be at present
verified. But the signs given by Anton, to know when the time
approaches, have come to pass.
