_Gand_ & _Bruxelles_ marcheront contre _Anvers_,
Senat de _Londres_ mettront a mort leur Roy,
Le Sel & Vin luy seront a l’envers,
Pour eux avoir le Regne or desarroy.
English.
_Gand_ and _Bruxelles_ shall go against _Antwerp_,
The Senat of _London_ shall put their King to death,
The Salt and Wine shall not be able to do him good,
That they may have the Kingdom into ruine.

This Prophecy taken with all its circumstances, and the subject it
treateth of, is the most remarkable of all those that ever _Nostradamus_
was Author of, for here we see a concatenation of circumstances linked
together, to make it true to any bodies eyes, for first the number of
this Stanza being 49, signifieth the year wherein the King died, for
although by the _English_ account, who begin their year at the 25. of
_March_, it may be said it was in 48, because it did happen upon the
30_th._ of _January_, yet according to the general account of the most
part of the World, the year begin upon the first day of _January_, so
that the King dying on the 30_th._ of _January_, it may be said it was in
the year 1649.
The first Verse signifieth, that at that time there was no good
intelligence between the Cities of _Flanders_ and _Brabant_, as I
remember very well that there was not, but upon what score, I have
forgotten.
The second Verse is plain to any body that can either read or hear it.
The third Verse by _the Salt and Wine_, understandeth _France_, who was
then in War with the _Spaniard_, and in some divisions among themselves,
so that they could not take the Kings part as to relieve and free him by
force, but sent Embassadours to mediate a composure of the difference.
The fourth Verse intimateth that by reason of the said Wars that were
in _France_, the said murdering Parliament had liberty to do what they
listed for the bringing the Kingdom into ruine.
L.
French.
_Mensodus_ tost viendra a son haut Regne,
Mettant arriere un peu le _Norlaris_,
Le rouge blesme, le masle a l’interregne,
Le jeune crainte & frayeur Barbaris.
English.
_Mensodus_ shall soon come to his high Government,
Putting a little aside the _Norlaris_,
The red, pale, the Male at the interreigne,
The young fear, and dread barbarisme.
ANNOT.
