_~Gallorum~ lenitas ~Germanos~ iustificabit,_ _~Italiæ~ gravitas ~Gallos~ confusa necabit._ _Succumbet ~Gallus~[94], ~Aquilæ~ victricia[95] signa_ _Mundus adorabit,[96] erit urbs sub[97] presule digna._ _Millenis ducentenis nonaginta sub annis,_ _Et tribus[98] adiunctis, consurget aquila grandis._ _Terræ motus erunt, quos[99] non procul[100] auguror esse._ _~Constantine~ cades, et equi de marmore facti,_ _Et lapis erectus, et multa palatia ~Rome~._ _Papa cito moritur, ~Cesar~ regnabit ubique,_ _Sub quo tunc vana cessabit gloria[101] cleri._ _Anno millesimo C.ter vicesimo v. dabit ether_ _Blada vina fractus fiet pro principe luctus;_ _Una columpna cadet, quæ terram schismate tradet,_ _Gens periet subito, ~Petro~ testante perito._ The last four Verses occur only in the _Dublin_ MS., and seem to contain an Allusion to the Prophetical Doctrines of _Peter John_, or rather of his Followers. The Date intended is probably 1325, taking “_C.ter_” for CCC; and that this Year was one of the Eras fixed by the _Beguins_ for the Revelation of Antichrist, appears from the _Liber Sententiarum Inquisitionis Tholosanæ_, published by Limborch[102]; for Example _Petrus Moresii_, a Beguin, _receptus ad tercium ordinem Sancti Francisci conjugatus_, was examined by the Inquisitors on the 8th of April, 1322, and declares, _Credidit et credebat firmiter, tempore quo captus fuit, quod Antichristus esset venturus, et consumpmaturus cursum suum, infra annum quo computabitur incarnacio Domini M.CCC.XXV._ The Verses, as quoted by our Author, are very corrupt in the Original MS. The Editor has therefore ventured to alter “_viccus_” into “_victricia_;” “_urbis_” into “_urbs_,” and “_tessabit_” into “_cessabit_.” Ibid. last line. elispirid. This Word is very probably corrupt, although _Lewis_, who appears to have received from _Dublin_ a Transcript of this Tract, or copious Extracts, does not seem to have considered it so, for he has inserted the Word in his _Glossary_, and quotes for it only the Authority of the Passage before us; he says[103], “_Elispired_, perhaps for _expired_. _Secular power of the Hooly Goost expired_, alluding to the secular Power the Popes have. For having quoted four Verses of _Sibille_, one of which is: _Papa cito moritur, Cæsar regnabit ubique_, _Wiclif_ adds, _thei that treten this Verse of ~Sibille~, alle that I have seen, accorden in this, that secular power of the Hooly Goost elispired._” PAGE xxxiv. line 13. þe wordis of Josue 2. cᵒ. þe þridde. The Editor is unable to explain this Reference. Ibid. line 17. þe Mayster of Scholys rehersiþ. _Peter Comestor_, Chancellor of the Cathedral of Paris in 1164, and Author of the _Historia Scholastica_, is the Person here called _Master of Schools_. The Passage referred to occurs in the _Hist. Schol._ on the third Book of Kings, _cap. viii._ (not _cap. v._ as quoted by our Author), and is as follows[104]:—
