The following traditionary prophecy about Cologne, was found by Magister Heinrich von Judden, pastor of the small church of St Martin, in the convent of the brethren of the Holy Virgin of Carmel, (in Cologne?):— “O happy Cologne! when thou art well paved, thou shalt perish in thine own blood. O, Cologne! thou shalt perish like Sodom and Gomorrha; thy streets shall flow with blood, and thy relics shall be taken away. Woe to thee, Cologne! because strangers suck thy breasts and the breasts of thy poor,—of thy poor, who therefore languish in poverty and misery.” Old tradition concerning Coblenz:— “Woe! woe! Where Rhine and Moselle meet, a battle shall be fought against Turks and Baschkirs, (Russians?) so bloody, that the Rhine shall be dyed red for twenty-five leagues.” Traditions of battles in Westphalia:— “A prodigious number of people shall come from the east towards the west. “The whole west and south shall rise against them. “The armies shall meet in the middle of Westphalia. “A dreadful battle shall take place on the Strönheide, (a heath,) near Ahaus. “At Riesenbeck, a bloody combat shall be fought. “At Lüdinghausen,” said a seer, “I saw whole hosts of white-clad soldiers. (Austrians?) “Ottmarsbocholt will have much to suffer. “On the Lipperheide (a heath) a bloody battle is fought. “Also in Rittberg, and the whole country round, a battle shall be fought. “But the chief engagement shall be _at the Birch-Tree_.” Every one, says the author, who takes the trouble, can hear all this from the mouths of the peasantry. In many places, the seers have even described the positions of the troops, and the direction in which the cannon are pointed. Prophecy of a Capuchin monk in Düsseldorf, of date 1672:— “After a dreadful war (Napoleon’s wars?) shall there be peace; yet there shall be no peace, because the contest of the poor against the rich, and of the rich against the poor, shall break out. “After this peace shall come a heavy time. The people shall have no longer truth nor faith.
