Kind Reader,  
WE here present thee with some remarkable Prophecies of that Ancient and Famous ginger, Mr. William Lilly, lately deceased; concerning this great year 1683. predicted by him many years since, in the year 1655. Saith he,  

In the year eighty three,  
Great Changes there will be  
In England. But—  
Long ere that time poor Merlin sleeps   

In's Grave secure; sad England weeps.  
Left he no Heir unhappy Man,  
That this obscurer Riddle can  
Unfold?— No.   
In his Anglicus for 1677. he hath these words.  
Those pretending to religion, or such as are famous for Schisms or Heresies, or those of different judgement from that Religion Established by Authority, for some years will grumble and repine for that restriction on their Consciences, (as they will term it) and the nearer to the time of the Conjunction, the more Confederations they will have, either, near the time of the Conjunction itself, or a little after; we fear great disturbance of those Nations, and the Princes they live under, disquieting their Governors: this for Conscience sake, as they pretend. But in our Nation, (as before was expressed) breach of the people's just privileges, ancient customs, and former enjoyed rights will animate the generality to a strong and sturdy Rebellion, and countenance that translation of Monarchy mentioned by Trithemius.  
Again, saith he, Many believe the last Age of the World is at hand; we verily conjecture, That a troublesome and vexatious time is approaching upon most Nations of Europe, wherein those pretending to Religion, whether Papist or Protestant, will show little mercy or compassion to those persons whose unhappiness it will be to fall under their subjection. God bless us from such a Reformation that must be advanced in the ruins of a well settled Government.  
Mr. Partridge in his Astrological judgement on this year 1683. hath these words; Saturn and jupiter in conjunction in Leo, are contriving to make themselves secure, and to this end there are many and various endeavours used to convene those of the greatest and best policy, to invent and contrive some new ways of Trade, commerce, and Government: But methinks Saturn and jupiter both peregrine, look rather like Plotters than Statesmen, and seem to be such as would rather overthrow a Kingdom, Laws, and Religion, than secure any, unless it be such as serves their own turn: for you know that Highway men in their way are for self-preservation, though the Law be directly against them, and say, they ought to be hanged. Well let them plot on, than they have the worst success that ever men had; for what ever they contrive or consult, it will be known to their enemy, be it never so deep or Clandestine.   

The great and wonderful Prophecies of the three Germane Prophets, Christopher Kotterus, Christiana-Pomatovia, and Nicholas Drabicius.  
WE present thee, kind Reader, with these remarkable Prophecies of the three Germane Prophets, which have been highly esteemed of by the famous and illustrious persons of these times, which some years since foretold the invasion of the Turks in Germany, and the events of the same: Also Predictions concerning the French King's Wars, and the destruction of the Papal See of Rome, with the conversion of jews and Turks; which take as followeth.  

On the 11 th'. of june there first of all appeared an Angel in the shape of a Man to Kotterus, which spoke to him as followeth: That the anger of God was kindled against mankind, and that in fury he hastened to inflict punishment on them, except they repent of their Pride and Impurity, and for contempt of God and his Word. After this he vanished.  
The Prophecy concerning Rome is, That the Lion of the Tribe of judah shall roar against the Whore of Babylon, behold she is now falling, but is not yet fallen, but presently shall fall. O thou cold, thirsty and presumptuous City! it is not the height nor strength of thy Walls shall defend thee; behold the time is coming that thou shalt totter, and thy horrid lies, and false perverting of the Scriptures with thy spiritual fornications. O you Kings, you Princes, and Potentates, who do flatter her, and drink the Wine of her impurities, and partake of the Cup of her blasphemies. Behold the dry and withered Tree of the East begins to shoot forth her leaves, and her blushing knots; but the trees of the North do stand unmoved.  
Behold the Lion of the North begins to rouse himself, and two other of the same colour do follow him that will pluck up the trees of the South, Root and Branch. O that thou hadst known the day of thy visitation; but glory be to him that doth Wonders. After a little silence, the Angel said, O Babylon! fair but painted, and destitute of true foundation, false in thy Doctrine, false in thy L●fe, evil in thy Works, two and forty Months shall quickly be expired, and the three Days and half a Day shall come to an end: and the spirit of life shall return into those whom thou, O wicked Babylon, hast murdered. The five Months of thy Judgements will quickly be accomplished, and then the Pope, the Spouse of the Devil shall fall. The Angel further said, That besides the Devil, the great adversary of the Church, there are two others that shall destroy and tread down all things: one of them doth not yet know the true God, of whom he is now ignorant; but shall know him, for the time is at hand that he shall acknowledge the true God, and shall accomplish his decrees against the great Whore, sitting upon the hills above the Sea, who is another trampler upon, and destroyer of the Church, whose remembrance is come in the sight of God, to give her a cup of the Excandescence of his Anger; he cares not for God, nor doth God care for him, for his time is almost past. Then Kotterus demanded of the Angel, Will there be a great effusion of Blood? the Angel answered, Yes: for since Germany is so stubborn as not to pray to Almighty God to withdraw his Rod and heavy Hand held over it, but doth more and more provoke him, and doth still fill up the measure of her sins, that it runs over with the abundance thereof, therefore there shall be a great battle and overthrow to the Devil and the Dragon, and a great supper shall be prepared for the fowls of the air. Woe unto Caesar the King, and Princes, the Counts, and Barons: Woe unto the Countries and Cities of the Germane Empire; all these things shall fall upon you, Famine, Dearth and War, and effusion of Blood; for the condemnation of the great Beast is near and certain. Kotterus interposed again, and said, Shall the faithful be delivered from these great Judgements? the Angel answered, Rejoice O little Flock, thy Shepherd shall defend thee, you have in the Scriptures infallible promises of deliverance.  
The Lion of the Tribe of judah is he who wageth war against Germany, and he doth manage it by the Lion of the East, and the Lion of the North, neither doth he want power or means to inflict his punishments for many great Causes.   

The Visions, Revelations and Prophecies of Christiana Pomatovia.  
THere appeared to me a man armed from Head to Foot, whose Head was as fire, and flame came out from his Mouth; he came forth, and stood by himself, and one of the company brought him a Sword, and did put it into his right hand, saying, This is my strength, and with the right Hand of my strength, and this Sword will I destroy my adversary, behold I am prepared, and will come unexpectedly in a day that the wicked shall not think of me, and will render unto every one according to his deserts, and in my wrath will I grind into powder all Unbelievers. I will now hasten my Judgement, I will perform a wonderful thing, much evil shall come from the North, and from the East, upon all the Inhabitants of the Earth. And immediately were heard these words, B●bylon is fallen, it is fallen, the great House of Austria is fallen, that proud and lofty House is fallen to the ground, neither shall it ever be built up again, and the Pope, and all that devilish Antichristian Synagogue shall suddenly be cast down, and blotted out of memory. By the Lions are the Hungarian, the Turk, the Tartar, the Sweed, the Dane, the Hollander, the English, the French, the Swisser and Saxon, by these Antichrist and Babylon, and Kingdom of Satan shall be utterly overthrown, especially that great house of Austria, which they were not able to pluck down without the assistance of the white Lion of the tribe of judah. And I beheld innumerable troops of Horse, and bands of Footmen of all Nations, drawing themselves into two great bodies, marshaled in batallia one over against another: And the Lord said unto me, Observe them now, and immediately I heard Drums beating, and Trumpets sounding, and the Lord said, Let us go up yonder Hill and observe the success of the battle more distinctly; I heard the sound of the Trumpet, but the battle was fought beneath us on the foot of the Hill. Then he said unto me, This is the Army of the South, the Antichristian Army, the Army of the Whore and the beast, pointing to the Southern Army. And turning himself to the other Army, he said, This is the Army of the East and North, of which I have made mention to you. Remember these things that I have declared, for all will come to pass according to the Prediction. (By the Eastern Army is always meant the Army of the Turks.) And I looked a long time upon them, till I observed few of the Northern Army remained, the sad sight oppressed me with grief, fearing they would be utterly overthrown, but the Ancient of times comforted me, and said, Behold help cometh from Zion, the Throne of my Holiness. And I looked again, and behold a great Army descended from Heaven, which was commanded by a man in a flame, with a great Sword in his hand, uniting himself to the northern Army.  
And I beheld also Clouds of smoke waving down, and falling down on the Southern army; and the fight was renewed, and the Southern army did fall like leaves in Autumn beaten by violent wind, many of the Southern Army after this were slain, and the rest fled, that not one of them remained of them: But the northern Army having gained great spoils, returned with great joy, and the Army from Heaven ascended from whence it descended.   

The Visions and Prophecies of Nich. Drabicius.  
THis Drabicius was born at Straswick in Germany, (his Father was Consul of the said City) he was Minister of God's Word at Zeranick, he w●s attractive in his discourse, and grave in his conversation, he had a love and zeal to piety: His first vision was in the year 1643. A voice spoke unto him, saying, Write that the time is now come, I will revenge the offences given to my holy Name, I will cause the Turk to come and to overthrow Vienna, as jerusalem was overthrown; and I will bring evil upon the house of Austria to cut it off from the earth, for she hath given no ear to the peaceable counsels of the King of Polonia, now her destruction approacheth. Drabicius a●ked, When it would come to pass? it was answered, to day and tomorrow will fill up the measure of her iniquities; and I will bring many great and 〈◊〉 Nations upon the house of Austria, and they shall tread upon Vienna, as jerusalem and Samaria were trodden upon, to revenge my quarrel, and to drive away Idolaters, with the false Prophets, and to vindicate the injuries offered to Frederick that was King of Bohemia, and to his progeny, with whom you also have been banished. Drabicius asked, whether the progeny of the King of Bohemia be restored to their dignities? it was answered, Wherefore have I afflicted Germany, but because they did forsake him; woe to the Bohemians, woe to the Silesians, woe to the Moravians, for now is their destruction at hand. The Revelation, (●une 11.) Hear the voice, O house of Austria, thy roots are in Hungaria, which I am now going to pluck up: but thou shalt perish with the Captain● thy Counsellors, and thy posterity, thy strong men shall fall. The Revelation of April 7. 1646. As I awaked out of sleep, a voice sounded in m Ears: O house of Austria! O thou house of Austria, I have born with thee, I have born; with thee, so many ages, I have advanced thy glory on high in the midst of many Nations, with much patience I expected thy conversion unto me thy Creator; but thy heart is grown fat, and thy eyes are darkened, that neither thyself, nor thy Captains shall see their lamentable fall and ruin, for the abomination thou hast committed. Who did seduce thee, O house of Austria? thou hast forsaken me, and thrown my Laws behind thy back, and hast erected Idols of abomination throughout thy Cities and Streets, and in thy Temples and Chancels, thou hast set up Statues and Images, gilded and painted with beautiful colours. Thou with thy Counsellor, and Judges, and Princes, hast neglected my word, and hast neglected justice, and righteousness, and mercy; therefore have I brought evil upon thee, and thy house: in vain dost thou lean upon a Reed, which is Spain: in vain thou expectest help from the Pope, Bavarian or Saxon, Mentz and Cologn will deceive thee, for they have lost their strength with thee; for I have risen up against them, and have delivered their powers into their hands, who do make war against thee, that he may do to thee as to the house of Ahab, and to thy Priests, as my Servant Elias to the Prophets of Baal. October the 10. The word of the Lord came to me again, saying, Although it be not yet come to pass, whi●h not long since I declared to you, yet undoubtedly it shall take effect: For though he hath gained a peace for a time, he shall gain nothing by the delay of a little time, which nevertheless shall come, and is even at hand, for the destruction of the beast must begin in Hungaria.  
And after a long silence, the Lord said to me again, All my words shall be fulfilled, that it may be manifest unto all, That I am he that will confound the counsels of my enemy's, and will remove the half dead person from his Throne, by electing to me that chosen Vessel; the King of France, for whom Germany shall cry out, Long live, long live the King of France; which as soon as it shall be done by my command, who am King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, your liberties shall be restored, O ye worshippers of me.  
And O you Kings, Princes, and commanders of my Army, and you my Ministers of the Gospel, throw in your net into the Sea, to fish for the Jews the remainder of my Vintage, on the right side, and on the left, for the Nations of Turkey and Tartary, and other places, for I have opened my Prisons, and healed the wounded▪ that they may be admitted to the Banquet of my House, the Church, and many rooms that are in it, are yet empty for those persons to be brought into it, the jews and the Turks, and other people ignorant of the worship of the true God, and the Gospel of our Lord Jesus, who are to acknowledge me, and to come into the pales of my beloved Spouse.  
I will have a reformation amongst the Idolatrous Ministers of the Whore, and those that shall be found refractory shall be put to death, for I will not have the least root of Popish Doctrine in any Nation, and I will that there be but one order and government of the Church amongst all Nations.  
The chief scope of all these Prophecies and Revelations, being to invite men to attend the judgements of Almighty God in his punishments of the sin● of the world, and to be made worthy of his mercies, which in the last age of the world he will pour forth on all mankind; It well becomes all mutually to admonish one another to repentance, and to increase our faith in the promises of God, and to inflame our mutual charity, to pray for one another, that we may be made partakers of so unspeakable mercy. Amen.
