THE POPE . De Paus.

The French King shal be driven out of his land by his owne Subjects / for he shall excercise tyrannie against the Professours of the Gospell of Christ / therto styrred up / & sporred forwards by the Priests and Bishopps . Who being with money bought treacherouslie to betray him / shall mislead and deliver him / yet he shall seeme to doe the same in respect of his Freinds / and being thrust out and deceived / he shal be left and forsaken of those whom he most trusted to / this shall happen in the end of the second course of tyme / then the Armes hang on a drie or witherdstock . Now this is understood as passed , in the time of H. de valoys .

The Lion prepares for his yong a strong and everlasting neast / but none of the same shall possesse it / though they were set in it / but when the Lion shall fal into the third course of tyme / then shall there foorthwith be elected in his place a zealous resolute person / by name Frederick on the Rhyn / by Aken / whose ofspring shall stretch it selfe to the end of World / for the end is at hand .

The King of Fraunce after being a wearie of banishment / and Crosses turning / about shal joyn himselfe to the assemblie of the Christians / striving against the enemies of the Word / and be received again of his own / for in those tymes shall the Christian Church there have no other Antistes nor head .

The Pope sheweth the declining and help-seeking Emperour the Ballaunce / saying : ponder with your self and consider wheither I have any place at Rome or not / for I am quite of all except your helpe / otherwise I should hold my oath / but the R. C. shal be remooved to Ments .

Their Bishoppricks shall get others / who shall with more fruite of Godlines and lesse pride raygne then the other have done .

In the yeares 67. and 68. shall these things come to passe / and he that shall then live shall much admire the peace / unitie / rest / and ease among men . For there shall be so great Slaughters and Bloodshed that those very few / which remayn over / shal see and have God and the old Peace to dwel with them / and that for a certayne space of tyme .

At the same time shall the Pope Cardinalls Archbishops / and all Spiritual states by divers punishments and suffering be driv'ne unto the former life of the Apostles

I Capis : Serv: of Ies ; Chr: after this have seen in a vision 4. streames / from the 4. corners of the World / in strife with the great Seo / who when they could not get the victorie came Oceanus / but Oceanus & the 4. streames overmaysterd the great Sea .

By Oceanus compared with the great Sea , the interpreters understand the Iland of Brittayne .

O Pope , o Duke of Millyane , how faeminine is thy warre , how woman like are they that depend on thee , wheras al warre bends itselfe against thee , to the end that thou mayst fal .

The Hellish Dragon his Counsel giver .

All the Empires of the world shal be cast vnder our feete .

This Lion is Borgondie .

The Antichr : Beast , sprong up anno : 313 : who shauld have power for 42 weeks , which make 1260. dayes , or yeares , from which abstract 18. wherby it agrees with the Propheticall time , the remaynder joynd to the former make 1555. the time that C : V. must give libertie of conscience , adding therto 67 or 68. according to Capistranus so have we 1622. 1623.

This strange Figure hath beene thus drawne / and paynted out two hundred Yeares afore the byrth of Carolus M : and found in a stone Wall / but then alltogeither without any interpretation therby / onelie that by the one person was written the name of Carolus / by the other the Pope ; neither did any man presume to foretell or prognosticate any thing therout / save onelie Mr. Iohn Carion , who fortold the death of some / although not wholly so well as this figure / for he fayled 10 yeares in his accoumpt . But there hath lived in our tymes a Moonk in a Cloyster in Slesia / named Capistranus , who was highlie esteemed / and of great accoumpt among the Mathematicians / and in many things ( as it is sayd ) a Prognosticatour and a Prophet . Who as he chaunced to get this Figure / which was of it selfe without any explication therof therby / he laboured very diligentlie / to discover the misteries therof / and by al means to make knowne the secrets of the same / but when he saw his labour lost and all in vayne / he committed therfore the revelation therof wholly unto God / not long after which tyme appeared a very fearfull Commeet in the Firmament / by meanes wherof began the revolution of the same / and by Calculating uppon that Celestiall Figure / with examining and curious looking therinto / he found that it threatned all Germanie / and the Romayne Empire / with great destruction and ruine / then caused he this Figure to be drawen uppon a Francine or Parchement / and carefully shutting the same into a clefte of a wall / leaving ther a marckable signe / wherby it might after his death be found out dispersed and divulged / it was in Anno 1548. when I gotte the same of hem that found it .

I Capistranus a Servant of God have seen by the revelation of the most High / the signification of this Figure / even through Calculating uppon the fearfull Commeet / the variation of tymes and Empires . Namely that in the yeare 1547. shall arise a very bitter enemie of the word of God / while he shall give himselfe out for a defender of the same / then by falshood and deceit pretending to joyn with the Duitch Princes / he shall seeme to set before them the disobedience of some particular men / as also a pretense for the reformation of the Church / this shall from North and south bring great destruction with it / al these things notwithstandinge he shal chastise the foolish bewitched Germaynes with their owne weapons / and oppresse the heads of the Empire / in the first course of tyme he shall without bloodshed have all to his owne will / he shall enlarge the corners of / or between his Columns or Pillars / in those 3. yeares shall he deprive them of their might and Priviledge . In the second course shal he priviledge and make free al those of his beliefe labour to breake downe and destroy Gods building / & to curbe those that withstand him : than shal the desolate Dukes and Princes see that they are deceived / and shal be possessed with terrour and feare on every side . In these 3. yeares shall he attempt to doe many things / but in respect of the manyfold troubles that shal come / he shall be hindered from his deseignes / yet he shall give no credit unto the traytours / and he shall in all quarters shed much Christian blood . In the thyrd cours he shall in a kind of a Phrensie bring a number lesse multitude of all sorts of people / for to roote out and displant both the word of God and the Christian Princes / and so shall there be every where madnes and bloodshed / then shall there be elected a King / who notwithstanding his being a King / he shall not be honourd with Kinglie honour / yet many shall depend uppon him . In these 3. yeares shall they bring Carolus his ofspring and posteritie / with all his Confederates and adherentes under subjection and obedience .
