A fuller Account of Archbifhpp ’Ufl2er’s Prophecy‘ than hasiever yet. been —
Printed, (agreeingwith this,) and attefted by the Lord Chief juftice Hale,
and another Perfon of Honour. ' s g , , _   g " _

" Tranflated from the~Fre}2cl2 Copy, . ]Lic¢rig’n  15, Iago.
He OriginalFrencb of the follqwin Admonitioni received lately in _H.n.,i otiché
Autbor, whole Name is thereunto ubfcribed 3 a Gentleman of an Ancient F-amil in

Ldnguedoc, whofe Scat is an ancient Cafile of the fame Name with himfelf, 3 ‘out '
three Englilh Miles from Mantpeilier, with a conliderable Revenue ihereunto belonging.

 

But he was forced to leave it, and all that he had, after twoyears Imprifonment, lo: a i ‘

his Religion. .And this is his Condition at refent. The Autbor o the Admoniriarla W-hiclihe
mentions, was his Younger Brother, who ied near three years mce, sol‘ about Forty eight
years of Age, a Perfon, as he faith, of great Piety and Credit, and of extraordim? Knowled’ e of
things abfent and future. And of him out Author ‘received both Admonition be ore-hand’ o the
things here f_aid to have hap ned to him, and an Explication afterward of the My'fte,ries of them,
. and the Sxgnxfication thereo . He ‘iswnot "without Witnelfes of the truth of what he relates; but

- they are dif fed into feveral Partssv and fame of them now in En land. . . ., _ "
It was t e Author’s,,Delire to.,have it committed to the Engliflag as foon as might be, and my
Good-will to my ‘Country, and defire to ferve them, inclined me to lend him my Alliftance therein
without much difiiculty, both becaufe it doth agree fo much with the known Prediction of
Bilhop ujber,and becaufe the State and Courfe of Affairs feem to agree but too much with both, in
a manifeft tendency to the Actomphihment of them. And that the Reader may not be fo much di-
fiurbed, asadmomihed by it, for hisibetter Direétion and Inliruftion how to life it, I thou ht lit
to fub'oyn the principal art of the Biihop’s Prediftions : Which I can allure the Reader to e no
Impo ure, but True an Genuine, from the Tefiimony of two Witnelfes beyond all Exception -:
The one, the late Lord Chief Juflice Hale, who, when I fhewed it him in Writing before ever it
was Printed, and defired  udgment of it, told me he had heard him lay the Subflance of it,
the Subliance of It (repeann ofewords) twenty times witha great deal of confidence: The
other, a Perfonwhom I Ouélt not to name without Lioenle, but of great Honour by De "tee, and
much greater by real Wort. ‘and Vertue, to whom the words were fpoken by the Big: ,, and
who committed them to Wr1t1ng,and was pleafed to flavour me with the perufal of the Original.

' ‘ the Formal Cbrz]tz}zn,whofe Religionlies in performing the Our-/id.erDutie: ofChriitianit3f, without

‘ having an Inward Lzfe,and Power of Faith and Love uniting them to‘Chrifl. And thofe God will
‘ leave to be trodden down and {wept away by the Gentiles. But the Wor_/bippers within the Temple
‘ and before the ‘Altar, are thole who do indeed worlhip God inSplrit and in Truth, whofe Souls
‘ are made his Temple, and he is honoured and adored : in the molt inward i Thoughts of their
