Croix Paix, soubs un accomply Divin Verbe, L’_Espagne_ & _Gaules_ seront unis ensemble, Grand clade proche & combat tresacerbe, Cœur si hardy ne sera qui ne tremble. English. The Cross shall have peace, under an accomplished Divine Word, _Spain_ and _France_ shall be united together, A great Battle near hand, and a most sharp fight, No heart so stout but shall tremble. ANNOT. We have said before that by _Divine Word_, we must not understand the second person of the Trinity, but a Divine or Theologian, called in Greek θεόλογος, which also signifieth _Divine Word_. Therefore the meaning of the first Verse is, that under the Goverment of some eminent Divine, (be like a good Pope) the Cross shall have peace, that is, the Christian Religion shall be in Peace, and persecution shall cease. The last three Verses are plain. VI. French. D’Habits nouveaux apres faite la treuve, Malice, trame, & machination, Premier mourra qui en fera la preuve, Couleur _Venise_, insidiation. English. After the new Cloaths shall be found out, There shall be malice, plotting and machination, He shall die the first that shall make trial of it, Under colour of _Venice_, shall be a conspiracy. ANNOT. Everybody may be as wise as I in the interpretation of this. VII. French. Le fils mineur du grand & hay Prince, De Lepre aura a vingt ans grande tache, De dueil mourra triste & mince, Et il mourra la ou tombe chair lache. English. The younger Son of the great and hated Prince, Being twenty years, old shall have a great touch of Leprosie, His mother shall die for grief, very sad and lean, And he shall die of the disease loose flesh. ANNOT. This is easie to be understood, if we remember that _Charles_ IX. King of _France_, younger son to _Henry_ II. died of a foul disease, and his Mother _Catharine_ of _Medicis_ died of grief. VIII. French. La grand Cité dassaut prompt repentin Surpris de nuit, gardes interrompus, Les Excubies & veilles Saint _Quentin_, Trucidez gardes, & les Portails rompus. English.
