By the crossed is understood some order of Knight-hood, who for the most
part wear that Badge, one of which being mad, and seeing in a Church a
Horny Oxe come, by a Virgin Hog shall be kept from harm, or rescued by a
Hog or Sow that was a Virgin, and it seems crossed the said Oxe, that he
should not gore the Knight, that then such order of Knighthood shall be
no more maintained nor upheld by the King of that Countrey, wherein such
thing shall happen.

Parmy les Champs des _Rhodanes_ entrées,
Ou les croisez seront presques unis,
Les deux _Brassiers_ en _Pisces_ rencontrées,
Et un grand nombre par Deluge punis.
English.
Through the Fields of the _Rhodanes_ comings in,
Where the crossed shall be almost united,
The two _Brassiers_ met in _Pisces_,
And a great number punished by a Flood.
ANNOT.
_Rhodanus_ in Latine is the River of _Rhosne_, which cometh from
_Switzerland_, and passing through the Lake of _Geneva_, runneth to
_Lyon_, it seemeth then that in those Fields that are about that River
there, will be a fearful inundation, when the _Brassiers_ (or rather
_Croziers_, which is a constellation so called) shall meet in _Pisces_,
which is one of the twelve Signs of the _Zodiack_.

Loin hors du Regne mis en hazard voiage,
Grand Ost duyra, pour soy l’occupera,
Le Roy tiendra les siens captif, ostage,
A son retour tout Pais pillera.
English.
Far from the Kingdom a hazardous journey undertaken,
He shall lead a great Army, which he shall make his own,
The King shall keep his prisoners, and pledges,
At his return he shall plunder all the Countrey.
ANNOT.
These obscure words signifie no more but that a King shall send a great
Army far from his Kingdom, the Commander of which Army shall make the
Army his own, which the King hearing, shall seize upon the Commanders
Relations, and keep them Prisoners and Hostages, for which the said
General being angry, shall at his return spoil the Countrey.

Sept mois sans plus obtiendra prelature,
Par son decez grand schisme fera naistre,
Sept mois tiendra un autre la Preture,
Pres de _Venise_ paix union renaistre.
English.
Seven months and no more, he shall obtain the Prelacy,
By his decease he shall cause a great Schisme,
Another shall be seven months chief Justice,
Near _Venice_ peace and union shall grow again.
ANNOT.
By this Prophecy three things are foretold, the first is of a Pope that
shall sit but seven months, at whose death there will be a great Schisme;
the second is of a great Governour or Chief Justice, such as were called
by the ancient _Romans Prætores_, shall be in authority also but seven
months; and the third, that hard by _Venice_ all these differences shall
be composed, and peace made again.
