XXVII. French. Le Divin Verbe sera du ciel frappé, Qui ne pourra proceder plus avant, Du resserrant le secret estoupé, Quon marchera par dessus & devant. English. The Divine Word shall be struck by Heaven, So that he shall proceed no further, The secret of the close Keeper, shall be so closed up, That people shall tread upon, and before it. ANNOT. By the _Divine Word_, you must not understand the second person of the Trinity, or else all this Stanza would be absurd; but you must understand a Divine or Theologian, called in Greek θεόλογος, which signifieth a _Divine Word_. The meaning therefore of it, is, that a _Theologian shall be struck by Heaven_; that is, shall die, so that he shall proceed no further in his work, which I suppose by the two last Verses, was the Philosophers stone; for in the two last Verses he saith, that the _secret of the close Keeper_, that is, of him that wrought secretly, shall (by his death) be so closed up, _that people shall tread on, and before it_. XXVIII. French. Le penultiesme de Surnom de Prophete, Prendra _Diane_ pour son jour & repos, Loing vaguera par Frenetique teste, Et delivrant un grand peuple d’Impos. English. The last, but one of the Sirname of the Prophet, Shall take _Diana_ for his day and his rest, He shall wander far by reason of his Frenetick head, Delivering a great people from impositions. ANNOT. This is concerning a _false Prophet_, which is called here the last but one of that Surname, who shall make _Diana_ (that is _Monday_ which is dedicated to _Diana_) his _Sunday_ or _Sabbath day_, and so wandring to and fro in a _Frenetick_ manner, shall perswade many people to pay no Taxes. XXIX. French. L’Oriental sortira de son Siege, Passer les Monts _Apennins_, voir la _Gaule_, Transpassera le Ciel, les Eaux & Neige, Et un chacun frappera de sa Gaule. English. The Oriental shall come out of his Seat, Shall pass over the _Apennine_ Mountains, and see _France_, Shall go over the Air, the Waters and Snow, And shall strike every one with his Rod. ANNOT. It is an Eastern Prince, who leaving his Countrey, shall come over the _Apennine_ Mountains, which divide _Italy_, and come as far as _France_, destroying all before him. XXX. French. Un qui les Dieux d’_Annibal_ infernaux, Fera renaistre, effrayeur des Humains, Onc plus d’horreur ne plus dire journaux, Qu’avint viendra par _Babel_ aux _Romains_. English. One that shall cause the infernal Gods of _Hannibal_ To live again, the terror of Mankind, There was never more horror, not to say ill dayes, Did happen, or shall, to the _Romans_ by _Babel_. ANNOT. This Prophecy was concerning _Charles_ V. Emperour, who sacked _Rome_, took the Pope Prisoner, and filled it with more horror and slaughter than _Hannibal_ did, though a Heathen. XXXI. French.
