Shall be put into so much distress,
For being complaisant to the unhappy one of _Nola_,
Who was complained of for having mocked his Superiour.
ANNOT.
_Naples_, _Florence_, _Fayenza_, _Imola_ and _Nola_ are all Cities in
_Italy_; the rest is plain.

_Pau_, _Verone_, _Vicence_, _Saragousse_,
De Glaive atteints, Terroirs de sang humides,
Peste si grande viendra a la grand gousse,
Proche secours & bien long les remedes.
English.

Shall be hit by the Sword, the Countrey shall be moist with blood,
So great a plague and so vehement shall come,

En _Germanie_ naistront diverses Sectes,
Saprochant sort de l’heureux _Paganisme_,
Le cœur captif & petites receptes,
Feront retour a payer le vray disme.
English.
In _Germany_ shall divers Sects arise,
Coming very near the happy _Paganism_,
The heart captivated and small receivings,
Shall open the gate to pay the true Tithes.

The first and second Verses have been verified sufficiently.
By the two last Verses, he meaneth that the heart of everyone shall be
in fear, so that they shall come to an agreement, which the true Tithes
shall be paid, and every one come to his own again.

English.
The third Climat comprehended under _Aries_,
In the year 1700. the twenty seven of _October_,
The King of _Persia_ shall be taken by those of _Ægypt_,
Battle, death, loss, a great shame to the Christians.
ANNOT.
Here be three notable things to be observed: one is the plain and
punctual specification of the time, in which the Prophecy shall come to
pass, _viz._ the 7. of _October_ in the year 1700. The second is, that
the King of _Persia_ shall be taken by those of _Ægypt_. The third is,
the shame and confusion that the Christians shall suffer for the same.
