Persecutée sera de dien l’Eglise,
Et les Saints Temples seront expoliez,
L’Enfant la mere mettra nud en chemise,
Seront _Arabes_ au _Polous_ ralliez.
English.
The Church of God shall be persecuted,
And the holy Temples shall be spoiled,
The Child shall turn out his Mother in her Smock,
_Arrabians_ shall agree with the _Polonians_.
ANNOT.
The Author could not be mistaken in this Prophecie; for the Church of
God shall always be persecuted, the Apostle confirmeth it, when he
saith, _that all those that will live piously in Christ, must suffer
persecution_: As for the spoiling of Churches, and other barbarous
actions, it hath been seen so often in _France_, in the time of the Civil
Wars for Religion, that it needeth no confirmation.
The last Verse concerning a peace between the _Turks_ and the
_Polonians_, was fulfilled in the year 1623. when _Sigismundus_ King of
_Poland_, by his Embassador the Duke _Šbarasky_, and by the mediation
of the _English_ Embassador, concluded a Peace with the great Turk
_Mustapha_, the Articles of which you may read at large in the _Turkish_
History.

De sang _Trojen_ naistra cœur _Germanique_,
Qui deviendra en si haute puissance,
Hors chassera gent estrange _Arabique_,
Tournant l’Eglise en pristine préeminence.
English.
Of _Trojan_ blood shall be born a _German_ heart,
Who shall attain to so high a power,
That he shall drive away the strange _Arrabian_ Nation,
Restoring the Church to her former splendor.
ANNOT.
It seemeth to signifie, that by Alliance made between a _German_
Emperour, and a Daughter of _France_, which derive their Pedigree from
the _Trojans_, a Prince shall be born of so stout and valiant a heart,
as shall drive away all the _Turkish_ power out of _Germany_, and shall
restore the Church to her former splendor.

Montera haut sur le bien plus a dextre,
Demourra assis sur la pierre carrée,
Vers le midy posé a la senestre,
Baston tortu en main, bouche ferrée.
English.
He shall go up upon the good more on the right hand,
He shall stay sitting upon the square stone,
Towards the South; being set, on the left hand,
A crooked stick in his hand, and his mouth shut.
ANNOT.
I do acknowledge my Ignorance in this.
LXXVI.

En lieu libere tendra son Pavillon,
Et ne voudra en Citez prendre place,
_Aix_, _Carpentras_, _Lisle_, _Volce_, _Mont Cavaillon_,
Par tous ces lieux abolira sa trace.

He shall pitch his Tent in the open air,
Refusing to lodge in the City,
_Aix_, _Carpentras_, _Lisle_, _Volce_, _Mont Cavaillon_,
In all those places, he shall abolish his trace.
