Au costé gauche a lendroit de _Vitry_, Seront guettez les trois rouges de _France_, Tous assommez rouge, noir non meurdry, Par les _Bretons_ remis en asseurance. English. On the left hand over against _Vitry_, The three red ones of _France_ shall be watched for, All the red shall be knockt dead, the black not murdered, By the _Britains_ set up again in security. ANNOT. What is meant here by the three red ones of _France_ is hard to decide, whether they be Cardinals or Judges; because both wear commonly Scarlet Gowns, or some Noblemen cloathed in Scarlet, but it seemeth by this that there shall be a lying in wait for four men, three of which shall be cloathed in Red, and one in Black, those in Red shall be knockt down dead, but he in Black shall not, and this is to be done on the left hand, over against _Vitry_, which is a City in _Champagne_. LIX. French. A la _Ferté_ prendra la _Vidame_, _Nicol_ tenu rouge quavoit produit la vie, La grand _Loyse_ naistra qui fera clame, Donnant _Bourgongne_ a _Bretons_ par envie. English. In the _Ferté_ the _Vidame_ shall take _Nicol_, reputed red, whom life hath produced, The great _Lewis_ shall be born, who shall lay claim, Giving _Burgundy_ to the _Britains_, through envy. ANNOT. This Stanza wanting both quantity in the Cadence of the Verse, and Connexion in the sense, sheweth that it is either falsly printed, or else the Author had no mind it should be understood; we shall only say, the _Ferté_ is a Town in _Champagne_. _Vidame_ is a Lords Title in _France_, of which there are but four of that sort, and are called in Civil Law _Vicedominus_, who by his first Institution, was temporal Judge of the Bishop; the first of those _Vidames_ or _Vicedomini_ in _France_, is that of _Amiens_, the second of _Chartres_, the third of _Rhemes_, and the fourth of _Gerberon_. LX. French. Conflict _Barbare_ en la Cornere noire, Sang espandu trembler la _Dalmatie_, Grand _Ismael_ mettra son promontoire, Ranes trembler, secours _Lusitanie_. English. A _Barbarian_ fight in the black Corner, Blood shall be spilt, _Dalmatia_ shall tremble for fear, Great _Ismael_ shall set up his promontory, Frogs shall tremble, _Portugal_ shall bring succour. ANNOT. This Prophecie foretelleth divers accidents in several places, without determination of any precise time; as for example, I understand by that _Barbarian conflict, near the black Corner_, to be some famous Battle among the Infidels themselves, some where about the Black Sea; then he saith, _that abundance of Blood shall be spilt, and ~Dalmatia~ shall tremble_, which is a Province belonging to the _Venetians_, and bordering upon _Græcia_; by great _Ismael_ he understandeth the great Sophy of _Persia_, whose name hath been often so. By the Frogs it is not easie to know whether he meaneth _France_ or _Spain_, for both abound in that kind of Insects.
