Within a little while a false frail brute shall go, From low to high, being quickly raised, By reason that he shall have the Government of _Verona_, Shall be unfaithful and slippery. ANNOT. This foretelleth of a wicked person, who in a short time shall be from a low degree exalted to a high one, by reason that those that have the Government of _Verona_, shall be unfaithful and slippery. That person seemeth to be some Pope, who from a low degree shall be exalted to that dignity, by the unfaithfulness and slipperiness of the _Venetians_, who are now Lords of the City _Verona_ in _Italy_. XIII. French. Les exiles, par ire, haine intestine, Feront au Roy grand conjuration, Secret mettront ennemis par la mine, Et les vieux siens, contre eux sedition. English. The banished, by choler, and intestine hatred Shall make against the King a great conspiracy, They shall put secret enemies in the mine, And the old his own against them sedition. ANNOT. Although this Prophecie seemeth to be indefinitely spoken, because in every Countrey or Kingdom where there is banished people, they most commonly plot against their King and Countrey; nevertheless I find two remarkable Histories to make this good, one in _France_, and the other in _England_. That of _France_ is thus. The Cardinal of _Lorrain_, and the Duke of _Guise_ his Brother, being in great favour with _Henry_ II. the Queen Mother promoted them in the beginning of the Reign of _Francis_ II. his successor, so that the Cardinal was made Lord high Treasurer, and the Duke General of the Armies, to the prejudice of the Constable of _Montmorency_. Those two favourites, fearing the persecution that is raised by envy, did remove all the great ones from the Court, whether they were commanded to do so, or whether they had any other pretences. The Princes of _Condé_, and of _la Roche sur yon_, were sent into _Flanders_ to _Philip_ II. _Condé_, to confirm the alliance between the two Crowns, and _la Roche sur yon_ to carry the Order of _France_. _Diana_ of _Poitiers_ Dutchess of _Valentenois_, was banished from Court, and compelled to surrender to the Queen all the Jewels she had extorted from the King, besides the Castle of _Chenonceaux_, which the Queen took for her self. The Marshal St. _Andrew_ was likewise banished from the Court. The King of _Navarre_ was in _Bearn_. The Constable took also his leave, and surrendred to the King the Seal of his Office. On the other side, the Protestants began to stir notably, having on their part many Princes, as that of _Condé_, of _Porcien_, _Gaspard_, of _Coligny_, Admiral of _France_, d’_Andelot_, and the Cardinal of _Chastillon_ his brothers, _Magdalene_ of _Mailly_, their Sister, Lady of _Roye_, the King of _Navarre_. All these discontented persons, and the Protestants made a great conspiracy under pretence of Religion, and of freeing the King from the tyranny of the _Guisians_.
