The true prophecies or prognostications of Michael Nostradamus, physician to Henry II. Francis II. and Charles IX.

Nostradamus
Astrology -- Early works to 1800; Prophecies -- Early works to 1800
In the Celebrating of these Nuptials happened the unfortunate death of
_Henry_ II. This brought such a sadness to the Court, that the second
match which was between _Margaret_ of _France_, Daughter to _Francis_ I.
and the Duke of _Savoy_ was Celebrated without solemnity.
We must add to this, that the Duke weareth in his Coat of Arms some
Eagles, some Lions, some Crosses, and a Crown of Rue; by this, we
understand this Stanza, which saith, that the King being mortally
wounded, every one was preparing himself to render him the last duties,
which the Author calleth to _Parante_, from the Latine word _Parentare_,
which signifieth to Celebrate the Funeral duties of a man. Thus the
second Verse saith, _before the day that he yieldeth up his Soul_,
in hast was the Marriage Celebrated, between the Lady _Margaret_ of
_France_, and the Duke of _Savoy_, who beareth for his Arms some Eagles,
some Lions, some Crosses, and a Crown of Rue.
LXXII.
French.
Par fureur feinte devotion Divine,
Sera la femme du grand fort violée,
Judges voulants damner telle Doctrine,
Victime au peuple ignorant immolée.
English.
By a faigned fury of Divine inspiration,
The wife of the great one shall be ravished,
Judges willing to condemn such a Doctrine,
A Victimo shall be sacrificed to the ignorant people.
ANNOT.
Of this fact and others as bad, have been seen strange examples, formerly
done by those called _Enthousiastes_, who have committed horrible
villanies, under pretence of divine inspiration, some commiting Incests,
others rapes, others murders, as may be seen at large in the History of
_John de Leiden_, and other desperate Anabaptists, too tedious to be
inserted here; I shall only relate here a little remarkable History, in
confirmation of this, to discover the Wiles of the spirits of error,
transformed into an Angel of Light.
