PROPHESIE , Which hath been in a Manuscript , IN THE Lord Powis's family Sixty Years . 1647 ABout the time that I shall be Joyned unto 2 times 3. 1648 And 4 times 10 with 4 times 2 Amongst us shall be great ado . An Eagles Head that time shall fall , Scattered will be the young ones all . Oliver Cromwel Then shall a Cypher swell so great , His Name 100 takes the Seat , And shall do mighty things before He is removed off the Shore . 1658. But 10 times 4 with 8 times 6 , Doth in another World him fix . Then quickly after you shall spy , The Eagle back again to fly , And shall himself bedeck again , With Feathers of his Fathers Train . Then heavy Times shall make men say , Oft-times alas and welladay , And wish that they a Death might find , For somthing troubles sore their Mind . Then after all a Cloud shall come , And almost darken quite the Sun . And in that time Actions shall be Chiefly carried on by three . The Cross , the Surplise , and the Crown , Strive who shall put each other down . Great Treachery and Bloodshed then Shall sweep away great store of Men. The Lion and blue Flower shall seek Quite to destroy the Heretick Sheep . And England shall be hard bestead , Before the Miter hence be rid . False Ireland contrives our woe , But zealous Scotland doth not so . 1677 Begin again at 1 and 6 , And 10 times 7 begins these Tricks . 1681 And for a time shall last full sore , Till you may number 1 and 4. 1685. And for 4 more it shall abate , To return in an happy sate . Then better every day will be , But no more — in England see . 1680. When 8 times 8 and 3 times 3 , With 6 and 1 shall joyned be , Then shall be sacrificed C. In dust shall lye that arrant Whore , Disdain'd of all like to J — S — And all her Brats turn'd out of dore . J. R. shall into Saddle slide , And furiously to Rome shall ride , His Principles no longer hide . The Pope shall have a fatal Fall , And never trouble more Whitehall , Nor England's People more inthrall . And he that chanceth to survive , Until the year of eighty five , Shall see this Land begin to thrive . O England's wonder , which hath never been , 3 Q — in England shortly shall be seen ! 2 D — shall highly for the Crown contend , Each shall bring England's Monarchy to end . B — shall fall into contempt and scorn , And Gospel-Angels shall our Church adorn . If any ask , how this shall come to pass , The Fox shall ride the Goose , the Goose the Ass . FINIS .
