_Paradin_ maketh mention, that in the year 1552. a Monk deceived the Marshal of _Brissac_, making him believe that he would put him in possession of the Town of _Quizres_, if he would give him so much for reward. The Marshal used all the Caution possible, not to be deceived by that Imposter, who took Money on both sides, _viz._ the _French_ and the _Spaniards_; nevertheless the Monk plaid the Knave with him, and the undertakings proved prejudicial to the _French_, though not considerably by reason of the precaution of the said Marshal. The same Author writes, that in the year 1555. the 17 of _August_, the _Spaniard_ had designed to retake _Cazal_, the same way that the _French_ had surprised it. First, they had got a Widow in the Town, who received the undertakers in her house, which was near the Gate, and the Wall. Secondly there was a Marriage to be made between two persons of quality, where great Cheer and rejoycings were to be. Thirdly they got a woman that carryed Herbs to sell in the Town, and under the Herbs the Letters were hidden. The Author says likewise, that there was a Monk and a Tradesman, that lodged at this Widows house, those two actors in this business, _viz._ the Monk said Tradesman, ane secretly to the woman that sold Herbs, _Cave_, which signifies take heed, they said these words _secretly near Matrone_, that is, they whisperd in her ear _Cave_. Their design was to betray the Town, under pretence of a Marriage, but it did not succeed; because the Letters in the womans Basket were intercepted, the Vulgar impression hath a fault in the third Verse, where there is Modene instead of Matrone, and another in the fourth Verse, when instead of Treason, they have put for betrayed. The History obligeth us to correct it, as we have done. LXXIV. French. Le dechassé au regne tournera, Ses ennemis trouvez des conjurez, Plus que jamais son temps triomphera, Trois & septante a mort trop asseurez. English. The expelled shall come again to the Kingdom, Her enemies shall be found to be the Conspirators, More than ever his time shall triumph, Three and seventy appointed for death. ANNOT. This is a clear and express prediction of the happy restauration of his sacred Majesty, and our dread Sovereign _Charles_ II. now Reigning, who after a long exile is come again to enjoy his own Kingdom, and to flourish more than ever he did before, by these seventy appointed to death, are meant the Judges and murderers of his Father, who with some few others of the same gang made about that number, and some of which have payed their shot by the hand of publick Justice, others have prevented their shame by dying before hand, others have been their own Executioners, and those that remain, lead a life worse then death it self; so true it is that vengeance dances the round. LXXV. French.
