THE PROPHECY OF GRETNERUS Concerning these Times .

GRetnerus was here in England with Queen Elizabeth , and presented her with a faire manuscript in Latine , describing therein the whole future History of Europe ; here and there limning in water colours , some principall passages , for touches in the world of after ages . Doctor Nevell then Deane , or Clerke of the Closet , and very intimate with the Queen , got this Book of Her , and bestowed it on the Library of Trinity Colledge in Cambridge ; where that hath been publique to the eye of all persons eversince , till about five years since it was much defaced .

The Library keeper hath it almost all by heart , who resorting ( after his expulsion ) to this City , and keeping company with some Sequestred Reverend Fellows of that House , have refreshed their memories so well concerning what they had seene and read before , that they as well as he , were confident of what followeth .

1. In his predictions he describeth the troubles of Russia , and the Election of the Swedish King , Sigismond by name , to be King of Polonia ; by which he should irrecoverably loose his owne Inheritance .

2. That of the Swedish usurpers race , there should be one Gustavus Adolpus by name , that should take an hint from the distractions in Germany , to enter the Empire with a small Army , and there roule into a mighty force , and fight many Battels prosperously , but at the last in a pitched field he should perish .

3. That about that time should raigne another Rex Septentrionalis nomine Carolus , qui ducet in uxorem Mariam Papisticam ex qua evadet Regnum omnium infaelicissimus . Tunc Populus ipsius ditionis eliget alium sibi Regem Comitem qui durabit in imperio tres annos aut eo circiter S. X. F. A. X. & postea idem populus eliget alium Regem Equitem non ejusdem familiae nec honoris , qui detrudet omnia sub pedibus suis aliquanto longiore tempore , & post hunc nullum .

Paulo post apparebit quidam Carolus ex Carolo descendens ab immensa classe in litus ditionis patris sui , & cum auxiliariis Danencis , Swedicis , Holandicis , Francicis , & Hispanicis prosternabit adversarios suos , & administrabit imperium suum perfaelicissime & erit Carolo magno major .

Quod faxit Deus . FINIS .
