All the difficulty of this lieth in the signification of the word _Pole_, which in Greek signifieth a City. The word _Monopoly_ is Vulgar, and signifieth when one or few would engross all the Trade of a Town. The rest is so obscure, that I had rather leave it to the liberty of the Reader, than break my Brains about it, considering chiefly that I am going to bed, the precedent Stanza having exhausted all my Spirits, and so farewell till to morrow. L. French. Quand ceux d’_Hainault_, de _Gand_, & de _Bruxelles_, Verront a _Langres_ le Siege devant mis, Derrier leur flancs seront guerres cruelles, La playe antique sera pis qu’Ennemis. English. When these of _Hainault_, of _Gand_, and of _Bruxelles_, Shall see the Siege laid before _Langres_, Behind their sides shall be cruel Wars, The old wound shall be worse then Enemies. ANNOT. _Hainault_ is a Province of the Low-Countries, and _Gand_ the chief Town in _Flanders_, and _Bruxelles_ the chief Town of the Dukedome of _Brabant_. _Langres_ is a City in _France_, in the Province of _Champagne_, which is called the Maiden Town; because it was never besieged. The rest is easie. LI. French. Le sang du juste a _Londres_ fera faute, Bruslez par feu de vingt & trois les Six, La Dame antique cherra de place haute, De mesme secte plusieurs seront occis. English. The blood of the just shall be wanting in _London_, Burnt by fire of three and twenty, the Six, The antient Dame shall fall from her high place, Of the same Sect many shall be killed. ANNOT. Leaving unto the impartial Reader his liberty to judge of this Prophecy, we for our part understand by it the impious and execrable murder, committed upon the person of our last most gracious Sovereign King _Charles_ I. of blessed memory, to whose expiation it seemeth our Author attributeth the conflagration of _London_. By that proportion _of three and twenty, the Six_, is to be understood the number of Houses and Buildings that were burnt, which is about the proportion of three in four, and cometh near to the computation, as also by that _three twenties and Six_, may be understood the year 66. _By the antient Dame that shall fall from the high place_, is understood the Cathedral Church of St. _Paul_, which in the time of Paganism was dedicated to _Diana_, meant here by the title of an antient Dame, the _fall from her high place_, hath relation both to the sumptuousness and height of her building, as also to her situation, which is in the most eminent place of the City. By this Verse, _Of the same Sect many shall be killed_, is signified the great number of other Churches even the number of 87 (which he intimateth here by the name of the same Sect), that should be involved in the same woful conflagration.
