ENGLAND'S WARNING-PIECE. OR, The most strange and wonderful Predictions of Cleombrotus a heathen Jew, prophesied in the Year 1272. upon the Reigns of 29. Kings of England; from EDWARD the I. to CHARLES the Fifth, 1799. Together with the Prophecy of another Heathen named Aldura Manasoch, and lately found amongst ancient Records in the College of Wittenburg in Germany. Interpreted by Doctor Delanorosus of the same College, out of the Arabian, Arminian, and Saxon Languages, newly translated into English; Now published and made obvious to the English Nation, by a Person of quality. Very remarkable to be observed in this present Age, and by future Generations. LONDON, Printed for Francis Coles, dwelling at the sign of the Lamb in the Old-Baily, 1661. To the Reader. READER, WHat is here set down within this Map of Prophecies, and made obvious to the English Nation, was found by an English Gentleman amongst some ancient Records in a College of Wittenburg in Germany, 'twas written most in Italian, the rest in Arminian and Arabian languages, strange and almost unknown Letters; some was in the Saxon language, and by the description of the Date it is found to be Three hundred and Eighteen years since it was written, and in the reign of EDWARD the first; the Author's name was there, but could not be read, nor interpreted plainly; yet as near as some could define it, they read it Cleombrotus a Heathen, others were of the mind it was the wandering Jew, and gave many sound and pregnant Reasons; For said they, here have been not long ago a strange Traveller, who could give more account of the antientry of the Empire than any Rolls or Description ever did. Moreover he discovered these Prophecies, and said they lay amongst the Records, which was known not to be removed nor touched in many Ages before; besides, many learned Scholars and Masters of Sciences, did aver that if any wandering jew was it must be he, a Man never known to be of any residence. But as for his strange and wonderful Predictions they are here set down, and many are come to pass in our days already, and 182. years are yet to come of his Prophecies. WHen first this Heathen, all these things foresaw, It was Three hundred eighteen years ago; Which in our time, great part hath happened true, That was Predicted by this heathen Jew; Five hundred years, his Prophecy should last, Three hundred eighteen of it now is past; Great part found true, what he said should be done, One hundred Eighty two is still to come. Strange wonders of the world he doth describe, And in his Prophecy he doth Confide, That in the Sixteen hundreth sixtieth year Strange wonders unto England shall appear: Which will out last this Prophecy with fame, And spring seven Kings, in lineage of one Name. The first Prophecy in the year, 1272. ENgland will be governed three Reigns together upon these three Letters, E. E. E: and in the Reign of the later, it will be a bloody Conflict between the three Lions and the Flower-Deluce, and the Lion will make a prey of it, and after that shall the F. be subject to the E. The Moral. It signifies that when Edward the third Reigned in England, there should wars happen between him and France, and the Lion making a prey upon the Flower-Deluce; was that he should quarter their Arms and bring them to his, after which France should be subject to England. The second Prophecy. BUt in the Year, 1377. The letter E. shall be extinguish●● and in the year 1387. will great dissensions arise in England, and the blood of many Nobles will be spilt, great struggling will be for the regal Diadem, and at that time will York▪ be removed, and Lancaster will carry the voice for the Court. Then will the Kingdom make great moan, To day we have a King, to morrow we have none: But when this tribulation's done, From Lancaster the King will come. The Moral. This was Richard the second of the house of York, deposed of his Crown by Henry the 4. th' of the house of Lancaster, who fight so many several Battles defeating one another, that the Subjects did not know when they had a King nor when they had none, but Lancaster carrying the voice for the Court was Henry of Lancaster; deposed Richard and took the Crown. After this for many years will great wars continue, but towards the time of 1483. will a wild Boar appear out of York and will encounter two Lion's whelps, and after a small reposing will destroy them, He will crush many Peers unexpectedly, many Treasonss and horrid Murders that time will be committed, and Noble men's blood will be as plenty as Commons. Then may England pray that none, Canary Wines that year come home: For if it doth, 'tis certainly The Letter G. by it will die. The Moral. This was Richard the 3.d of the house of York, who gave the wild Boar in his Arms; The Lion's Whelps were his two Nephews he destroyed, and Headed several Noble Men: The Letter G. was his Brother George Duke of Clarence, whom he caused to be stifled in a But of Malmsey Wine. All which came to pass according to the Prophecy. The second Prophecy on Richard the 3.d. THen after two years you will find, Great alterations by a mind, The R. will be extinguished quite; Then Richmond he comes in by right, And fights a Combat with the Boar, That never shall be Richard more: Then shall York and Lancaster Be excluded from a War; And ever after both shall be, Conjoined in Peace and Unity. This was performed by a Marriage, between Henry the seventh and a Maiden Duchess of York, being Heiress. A Prophecy upon Henry the seventh. TWenty three years then will England be governed, both in peace and plenty; And after that will arise a Prince figured Mars upon his Breast, at that time will Christendom receive a mighty Shack; That the Foundations of Rome will seem to startle, great hurly burlies will be between Foreign Princes: And so at that time will some Neighbouring Nation be England's chief Object. That great Variance will ensue, much blood will be spilt; Many Noble men's lives will be lost; So that such discensions will arise from that time, that never will be hearty reconciled again; Not long after that will be such a Change of Government, that England will have four within the space of twelve years: Then shall the Female Sex rule the Male for Forty years together, so extinguish. A Prophecy, 1602. AFter that shall arise the Letter J● out of the North, and will ride in upon a Stag's back, and reign Dominical many years. The Dragon than shall down be put; The Lion Rampant shall come up. Assisted by the Unicorn, And make two Kingdoms all as one. That year the Leopard from his Love, Shall constant to the Lion prove; Beware a Seamoote do not strive, With Craft the Dragon to revive, But if he do the Eagle rhen Will court the Lion to his Den: Whose fancy to the Stag shalt aim, For hunting likely is his Game: In Sixteen hundred years and ten, The Stewart shall be Master then; No Wars within his Reign shall be, But what's between the Stag and Herald A Prophecy for the year, 1625. WHen Sixteen hundred year is come, And Twenty five the J. is done; The Letter C. shall take the Crown, And reign Nine years in high Renown But then beware of Lebone Rex, Lest that the P. the Lion vix, For then sad Fates and destiny, By Wars throughout his Reign shall be: Then with a blow the times will turn, And thousands for one Man shall mourn: The C. shall stoop unto the C, But pray the first it be not he. But before this day comes there will reign a mighty War, many Towns will be brought low, stately Ceaders will bow their heads, and mighty Castles stoop to Cottages, then will England be forfeited with the blood of Innocents', and remain a while without King, Lords, or Commons, then will Churches be made Stables and Palaces become Prisons; the People at that time shall stand amazed thus bewailing.— O happy certainly are they, That never did l●ve to see this day; Our wealth is all unto confusion brought By those who have not left us worth a groat; Our stately Live to the ground is come, But dare not speak of it, we must be dumb, Once had we Justice and a glorious King, Now thousand Tyrants in the room of Him: Which like to Tigers did his Life betray, Since we like Sheep must unto Wolves obey: We know not where to go nor where to fly, But like poor Job sit down in misery. Great Chaps and Changes at that time will happen, and the Death of some great man will then hasten: But when you remember the fall of Charing. Cross, and see a new one built in Pault Church, then will Captivity beetled captive, and Redemption out of bondage will draw near, at which time the Sea will say to the Land, I have brought home the Treasure of many year's Voyage. And the Land shall then answer, it is so rich and precious I am not worthy to receive it, which time described is, 1660. In the Sixteen hundreth sixtieth year, Strange Wonders unto England shall appear; Providence by Conjunction joineth close, The exiled Thistle to the Southern Rose: For Neptune of the Ocean home shall bring A second C, but what a precious thing Will this same Letter be, and high will stand, Lord of the Eleaventh house by Sea and Land; Describe but Mars and Venus to commune, He comes in May or else the first of June; Pray that the Seas may calm and quiet be, Twice most he dangers, now again at Sea: Yet will be quit from troubles, Neptunes Roar, And when he is arrived on the shore, Observe this Prophecy, 'twill make appear, His Reign consists on Five and fifty year. But yet before the Eighty first you'll see, A mighty Monarch in the World He'll be; Some great and ●●gy War may then ensue; If that by chance the Eagle proves not true, The Lion Rampant may in fury grow, Though 'tis suspected whether he will or no: For if the Eagle he should fly too fast 'Tis thought his Talons will be clipped at last; For then in this Description you will find, All Europe will be subject to one m●ld, Which is the Letter C. predicted true, That will some great and Neighbouring Prince subdue: And then before the Lion provoth kind, He'll have an hear● according to his mind, Sprung from a house that's of a pretty N●●●, An Onridge foundeth something near the same. Then Spain in fame shall lust, France by chance may fall: Germany will stand fast, but England all in all. Now mark that towards the year 1662. will great Contest be in England about Religion, at which time will then reign Twenty eight Sects of several Opinions in which time will ●●y many sparks of Dissensions, but of small continuance, like the snuff of a Candle quickly waste out and spoon extinguish; For than will the Crow's head and the Mag●pres ●res● be a stumbling block to erroneous Errors, more Disputants will be in anguing then Paris●● Pastors in reconciling, many at that time will be confuted and range abroad like seemed mad men, but after a while they will soon be quieted; So that by the year 1665. will all become one peculiar Government, and then 'twill be as hard to hear the name of a Soldier in open hostility, as to see a white Raven on the top of a Pinnacle, a white Harvest will follow, and Peace and plenty will continue, few Murders will be committed, no Treasons will be thought of; But in the year 1669. or thereabouts, will a ship sail up the River of Th●nes, and a Merchant will ask the Mariner what News he bringeth, the Mariner shall answer, that Austria is removed to England, and the Gates of Rome doth seem to tremble: That year will some great Foreign, Prince have a fall, but England shall reign Dominical and provide a great Voyage for Sea, but beware a Swallow do not sir in the Stern of the Admiral, for if it do 'twill in danger the Fleet for that bout.— This was interpreted in the Saxon Language, that the Vide-admiral that year his name will be Swallow and will endeavour to break his Allegiance and betray the Fleet. And in the year 1680, great Tournaments will be exercised, Tilting and Lances will be high ●o request and that year will a Talbot jump to a Duke of Norfolk● But i● will be better for him to absent that day, then repent of his Title all the year after, for if ●●e horse throw him in the morning, let him ab●aine his Honour that days otherwise he will cake a Fall at. Court and pitch his head again a Barkley Castle, for the Eagle and the Leonard shall spur●● him in the dark; for the Moon that time will be Eclipsed, but if his House doth not stumble as he mounteth let him proceed; For than he shall dis●●ver by the light of the Moon, the Craftiness of the Eagle in all her darkness. The day is described thus.— THe Sixteen hundred eightieth year will bring Great, days of Honour by a mighty King; For Nobles in the month of july, they Shall t●y great actions on the Twentieth day▪ By which you I find in this same Prophecy A Talbot shall the Dinks of Norfolk he; An Eagle thou, gins at this to spurn, Till, she have made the Talbots title turn. Unhappy then will be the Twentieth day, Unhappy Talbot, this Prediction say; If that his Horse doth stumble when he Mons, This is a perfect and a true account: In his behalf the Moon will lose his light, And he are stead at the Court for spite; For Treason and Contentions they have bred, He shall at Barkley Castle lose his head. But if he miss that Twentieth day alore, He'll live a Duke for thirty year and more. Another Prophecy predicted, not by the first Author but by another, whose name was found to be in that Language, ADURA MANASSOCH. It was written in the Arabian Tongue as Doctor Delanorefus of Wettenburg College did define, but very dull and hard to be discovered though with much labour and great diligence he searched, and to his Judgement he understood it, to have been predicted near upon the account of the year, 1700. which is remarkable and most wonderful to be thought of: For said he, would Providence admit me to live until the time and operation of this Prophecy, I then could tell you, the most strange and not able Changes of great Princes unto the end of the World but when this was predicted he described himself thus,— ADURA MANASSOCH, whi●●ged, 134. The Prophecy. Near upon the Year, 1700. will happen to rise a great Rebellion in the Northern parts, and if you chance to see a green Winter then surely 'twill follow a bleeding Summer: Then beware a Combat with a Dane, great Contest will be amongst themselves, but of a short Continuance; small prejudice to the English Nation, and so extinguish. The second Prophecy of Aldura Manasoch 1700. THis will be a year of great Change and alteration throughout the whole Realm, but no Wars heard or thought of and a glorious Flower of long continuance that year will fall his Colour. For the Letter C will lie down in his Dormitory and a fresh Rose will arise from the same Root: Observe a little before, and you shall see an Eagle a light upon the Tower of Canterbury, and two white Doves shall come and oppose him, but after a small repose the Eagle will return to the Wood, and the two Doves retire to the Fop of the Church, and after a short space they shall take their flight towards some great City; Then shall a Man in a long Gown say, This is a great and notable Sign, what meaneth it? Then shall a man of a strange Nation answer, shaking his head and say, some mighty Monarch is desperate ill, but if he passeth the 9. th' day, the 19. th' and 29. th', it will be added to his Reign 15. years: It is observed that this Prediction comes nea●e of that Prophecy o● the year 1660. wh●ch was foresaw by the heathen Jew that the second of this same Letter C. should reign Dominical Fifty five years. Prophesy CLEOMBROTUS. The third Prophecy on the year, 1700. Time's when the second Letter C. Gins to reign will prosperous be, Whose great abilities have been fore told, And pattern to the universal World; All malice ●●vy, hate discord and spite, For length of days will vanish from his sight▪ He will exceed all Reigns of Kings before, He'll reign till Forty seven if not more, And if in forty eight he ●●sse a drift. He'll reign 〈◊〉 fifty, no● t●ll Fif●y sister With 〈…〉 and godly same▪ Both Peace and Plenty then shall end his Reign. The fourth Prophecy. THen sh●ll you see the time, that presently after you will see a third Letter of the C. take the Royal Diadem, no strifes nor combustions will be at that time little difference will be known between the third and the second 〈…〉 will stand quiet for great while, and the Land will make no noise: But observe when you see the time that w●en Canterbury shall remove to London, some Northern Castle will be brought to Yorks; And that year shall the Eagle desert the Lion but will be taken by a Moo●e upon 〈◊〉 ●e heath, and shall be brought to London, but be ware his Talons be not clipped, for if it be he shall be distinguished from his perch for ever after: But if he do but shift his feathers before the Moon do overshadow him, his Nest will be built higher than ever it was. Described thus— It was by another Writing adjoined to this Prophecy, interpreted, The meaning of it. That in the 17. th' of the Reign of Charles the third, there should be an Earl of Derby that should conspire against the King, and being discovered should desert the Court intending to fly to West-Chester, and that there will be a great Rear whose name will be Sea●oore High Chancellor at that time, which shall apprehend him on Dunsmoor-heath and bring him to London; Meaning that if his Talons should be clipped he should be secured in Prison and soon cut off; But if he did shift his Feather, before the Moon overshadowed him was paying many great Fines and quit himself by the help of friends, before the Earl of Northumberland should prosecute against him: His Nest to be built higher was meant, that if be 'scaped his power and dignity should be higher advanced then ever it was. A Prophecy upon Charles the third, and two Kings after him by the heathen jew. WHen that the third of this same Letter C. do reign, Then will be cheap all kind of Grain, The space of Twenty two years 'twill consist, Which this Prediction here doth manifest: No wars nor ●●mours in his Reign shall be, Except in thirty or in Thirty three. And then some foreign Prince will with him fare, Which in the Thirty fourth 〈◊〉 a War, In June it falls 〈◊〉 mark● in July after, 'Twixt Deep and Calis is a mighty slaughter; The first will die, the third will have Renown, And with two Royal Standards and a Crown, Which end the grudge long time had been before, But after this will ne'er be Battle ●●re, The F. shall subject be unto the E. And sail subjective 〈◊〉 them as 〈◊〉. To Charles the third will Nations intercesse, He'll live in Peace and die in qute●nesse. After this you shall observe, that another great Prince of the Blood will ar●ie from the former Root, and his Name will begin with the same Letter which is set down, and come in according to the Prophecy 1602. (J.) he will bear a red Lion on the le●e side, and reign Dominical seven years without W●r or Descension. But then beware O Germany! For the Letter J. will Emperor be. The second L●tt●r of this name will be a mighty Warrior abroad 〈◊〉 other Nations, great Conquests will be gotten, but in the last Battle he will intent to sight in the Eastern parts of the World; Let him beware the Moon he do not change for if he do the day will be lost in the forenoon and a great Prince of the blood will be slain, but in the afternoon he shall recover it most part by the assistance of a Mon●ke; Three Kings will be in the field that day, but the Victory will go to the West, and suddenly after will a Northern Prince send an Embassage to this great Conqueror; But, let him beware he gives not Audience, for it he do the Letter J. will be in danger of a flab, and if he escape that he will be delivered from a great many more that year following; But in the Month of December let him sit up late, and have trusty friends to be Esquire of his body for under die Mat of his Bed Chamber will a hor●ed ●●●tructive Bear be lodged, yet will be discovered ●y the Sent of a Ta●bot, whereby ●he Moon will be greatly eclipsed, and endanger the loss of his light: After this the Letter J. will return home and carry the house of Austria upon his book great La●ds will be subjective, and never after will Wars or Rebellion be heard o● in his days, in Canterbury he●● end his Reign in quiet. But before this will the Prince of the blood b● borne in Cornwall, and the fourth of the name which begins with the ●●tt●● 〈◊〉 but then shall London be removed to Canterbury, and remain the space of sixteen years, at which 〈◊〉 will England be troubled 〈◊〉 Roman Senators; For than shall two sh●●s sail 〈◊〉 the River of Th●m●s, and a Merchant on the bridge shall ask them what Merchandise they have, and the other shall answer two white Ravens and black Swan; The Merchant on the bridge shall ask▪ what they will have in exchange for them, they will answer the Cathedral of Paul's and the Relics thereunto belonging: Then the Merchants will say their Merchandise are but Counterfeits, and Paul's is too heavy for the strength of Rome to remove, at which the Tower will seem to thunder, and Dover Castle to give an Echo. It is interpreted by Doctor Delanorosus thus,— That when Charles the fourth should take the Royal Diadem London will be removed to Canterbury, that is, he will remove his Cour● to Canterbury for sixteen years, in which later time England will b● troubled with two Rom●n Senators, that is the Pope shall send to the Bishops of England and endeavour to seduce them for to acknowledge the Supremacy of Rome; The Merchants on the Bridge signifies, the Bishops disputing upon the grounds of Religion; The two white Ravens are the Pope's Indulgences, and the black Swan his Tyrannical penance; Had he but obtained his errand the Saying of the Bishops their Merchandise; were Counterfeits was the Invalidity of their Proffers; And that Paul● was too heavy for Rome to carry away signifies, they will keep up the Church Government and renounce his Idolatry, after this Church Government of England shall never be attempted, neither by Pope nor Sect●r●●any more: Now the thundering of the Tower and the Echo of Dover Castle. is the Roaring of some great Guns in scorn to the Pope's Supremacy. The Description of Charles the fourth. WHen Charles the fourth reigneth England's King, Some great repulse to Ro●e that year will bring; The time Religion he●l maintain as far, As Charles the second his Progenitor, Or Charles the third of everlasting fame, Or Jan●e his father second of that name, Who was ●ict or to us both by Land and Sea; But Charles his Reig●rn● war● in it sha●l be, Both peace and plenty all his days shall spring, That's one and twenty year's be'l be a King; So long continuance he shall rule in sway, Then like a Rose he will departed away, With grief of thousands he will and his Reign. Then seventh Edward will come in again: From James the second know it certainly These Kings will rule Jmperiall Majesty; Till Charles the fifth both King and Emperor then, Shall keep his Court in Germany again. On Edward the seventh. OBserve, that near the year 1799. there will a Prince of the blood be b●●●e in Canterbury, and at two years of age he ●●●per all Crown will be put on his head, and he shall remain under the Tu●●ion of a Monk three years: But York will have the pre-eminence. The Description. WHen that the Month of July doth begin, In Canterbury will be born a King; Edward the seventh he is cared by name, But in the lineage of the former name, Till that the time of Sixteen years doth come, A M●●●k● will be his ●u●or all along. But near the ●●ghte●●th Cleombrotus say, This seventh Edward will departed away, And then will York rule Lord Protector he, Till Charles the fifth comes to Maturity, Which when the Royal Diedem shall take, And make the Crowns of other Princes shake; But when that Twenty years is gone and ●ast, To his Native Country he comes home at last, And leaves his Crown and to the Grave doth go, He'll die in Love both peace and plenty too: All was fore s●w what ●●re is told to you, And was predicted by a heathen Jew.
