A PROPHECY.  
PRinceps e Scotia secundus, Vxorem ducet Papisticam, post quod, evadet Regum infelicissimus.  
Englished.  

This needs no Comment.  The second Prince from Scotland, shall marry a Popish Wife; after which, he shall become the most unhappy of Princes.  
Prophecy.  
Vary exorientur turbe, Populusque eligit sibi, tres successive belli Deuces: Comitem, Equitem, & Obscurum, qui miris artibus, & Religionis pretextu, Potestatem, non Titulum, acquiret sibi Regium; tandemque in Aula Reg●li extinguetur. In cujus Prole, aliquamdiu durabit lumen accensum, minor paullo felicius tractabit Lyram, bene habebit, si ad ejus modulos saltaverit Monachus.;  
Englished.  
Various troubles shall arise, 
Neither this.  and the People shall choose to themselves three Generals successively, viz. an Earl, a Knight and an Obscure person, who with strange Arts, and pretences Religious, shall acquire to himself the power, but not the title of King; In whose posterity the kindled light shall, for some time, continue. The younger Son may, more happily, tune the Harp: It shall go well if a Monk dance to his tune. 
Q. Of what Order!   
Prophecy.  
Eodem tempore Oligarchiae studebitur & Monarchiae Vanae, nec unquam in terris visibili, cnjus caput Enthusiasticum, & fanaticum, praedicatorum munus, preter ornem suum occupabit, & in fumum, cum societate sua evanescet.  
Englished.  

This is submitted to the interpretation of the learned  At the same time some will endeavour to set up an Oligarchy and Vane Monarchy, never to be seen upon the Earth. The Enthusiastic and Fanatique Head whereof shall invade the Office of a Preacher, besides his Order, and with his company, shall at length vanish into smoke.  
Prophecy.  
Us Londinio, toti Clero & Jurisperi●is; ve Angli● omnibus preterquam Papicolis, qui sub plurimis formis Religionem suam in Anglia stabilire conabuntur.;  
Englished.  
Woe to London; woe to all the Clergy and Lawyers; 
Deus avestan  woe to all Englishmen, but Papists, who under many shapes shall endeavour to establish their Religion in England.  
Prophecy.  
Doctrina & factis superabuntur Larvati Muncerus & Leidensis. Papismus erit sibi similis, pluresque succendet ignes.  
Englished.  

The former is obvious, the latter too probable.  The Protean Munster, and John-a-Leyden, shall be exceeded both in Doctrine and Deeds. Popery shall be like itself, and shall kindle many Fires.  
Prophecy.  
Plurimi tunc deficient, Populusque jugum excutiet. Armati sentient se deludi, & ab Exule quodam, stipendia insoluta recipient. Sub quo universum Corpus: Florebit, longo Bello exhaustum & mirum in modum ditabitur, pace fruetur stabili & generali, & Terra, Marique fortunabitur.  
Englished.  
Many shall then fall off, and the People shall shake off ☞ their Yoke. Those in Arms shall find themselves deluded, and shall receive their arrears from one banished. Under whom the whole Body, (exhausted with long War, 
Let all who love their Country say, Amen. ) shall flourish and be wonderfully enriched, shall enjoy a firm and general peace, and shall be happy by Sea and Land.  
Prophecy.  
Redeunt Saturnia regna.

Happy days return.  
Prophecy.  
Felice's qui intelligunt, & utuntur.  
Englished.  
Blessed are they that understand, and make use of this.  
The Lord in mercy look upon us, and deliver us from the Plots of the Jesuit, lurking under the disguise of Quakers, Anabaptists, and very many other Professions. Amen.
