Dresser Copie pour monter a l’Empire, Du _Vatican_ le sang Royal tiendra, _Flamens_, _Anglois_, _Espagne_ aspire, Contre l’_Italie_ & _France_ contendra. English. To raise an Army, for to ascend unto the Empire, Of the _Vatican_, the Royal blood shall endeavour, _Flemings_, _English_, _Spain_ shall aspire, And shall contend against _Italy_ and _France_. ANNOT. This prediction signifies no more, but that there shall be a great commotion among the Nations, of _Europe_, concerning the election of a Pope, which is called here the Empire of the _Vatican_; because the _Vatican_ is the Popes Palace in _Rome_. XIII. French. Un dubieux ne viendra loing du regne, La plus grand part le voudra soustenir, Un Capitole ne voudra point quil regne, Sa grande Chaire ne pourra maintenir. English. A doubtful man shall not come far from the Reign, The greatest part will uphold him, A Capitol will not consent that he should Reign, His great Chair he shall not be able to maintain. ANNOT. What should that doubtful man be, whom our Author doth mention here, is not easie to be understood; but it seemeth that it shall be some body pretending to the Popedom, who shall have a great party for himself, and yet for all that shall be excluded, and not able to keep his Seat; so that this Prophecie is but the second part of the foregoing; for they have both a relation together. The Capitol anciently was the Citadel of _Rome_, and now is the place where the Courts of Judicature meet, called _Campidoglio_. XIV. French. Loing de sa Terre Roy perdra la Bataille, Prompt, eschapé poursuivy, suivant pris, Ignare pris soubs la dorée maille, Soubs feint habit, & l’Ennemy surpris. English. Far from his Countrey the King shall loose a Battle, Nimble, escaped, followed, following, taken, Ignorantly taken under the gilded Coat of Mail, Under a feigned habit the enemy taken. ANNOT. This Prophecy was fulfilled in the year 1578. when _Don Sebastian_ King of _Portugal_, went into _Affrica_, to help and succour _Muley Hamet_, against _Muley Maluc_, that had expelled him out of the Kingdom of _Fez_ and _Morocco_, and there fought that famous Battle of _Alcasserquibir_, wherein his whole Army was routed, and himself slain by the _Moores_, and his body afterwards sold to the King of _Spain_ for a 100000. Crowns. XV. French. Dessous la Tombe sera trouvé le Prince, Qu’aura le pris par dessus _Nuremberg_: L’_Espagnol_ Roy en _Capricorne_ mince, Feinct & trahy par le grand _Vutitemberg_. English. Under the Tomb shall be found the Prince, That shall have a price above _Nuremberg_, That _Spanish_ King in _Capricorn_ shall be thine, Deceived and betrayed by the great _Vutitemberg_. ANNOT.
