A RELATION OF The Two Pretended Apostles , THAT CAME Invisibly into the Great City of THOLOVSE in FRANCE , from DAMASCVS in GALILEA , Aged above a Thousand years .

SOME days ago arrived in Languedock in the City of Tholousa two Old-men , who called themselves Apostles , who pretend to have the Spirit of Truth ; none saw them come into the City . They are Apparelled after such a manner as the like was never seen . They walk the Streets and Preach to the People Repentane , and forsaking of their evil Lives , for the wrath of God is kindled against the Romans . They say this City is a second Sodom . That the Iniquity of the People is ascended to the Heavens ; and that within three months ( in they do not repent ) the City shall perish by fire . They have continued now Eight days Preaching in the City , bare-headed and barefooted , with joined hands . The Magistracy have forbidden them to preach , but they returned this Answer , That they were sent from God to move the People to Repentance . They were put in Prison , where the Jesuits went to visit them , and disputed with them in the Latin , Hebrew and Chaldean Tongues . They know such as live a bad life . Their meat is Bread alone , and drink Water . They name the day wherein the Lord shall come . Being asked how long it should be before the day of Judgment ? They answered , That the first day of the Year 1690 should be the last day of the World . They say that they are a Thousand years of Age. The Magistrates demanded of them whence they were ? They answered , That they came from Galadiam in Damas , a City of Gallilea , and sent by God to Preach Repentance to the World . The Jesuits have prevailed with the Magistrates to let them be conveyed to Rome , to the Pope . The said Apostles say , That they knew very well what would become of them , and that it was not necessary that they should inchain them with such magnificence , and that they hada great desire to see Rome , and so broke the Chains all in pieces . The people were all astonished , and judged them Saints .

They Prophesied that In the Year 1681 , shall be Wars over all . In the Year 1682 , shall be no Pope , and Rome shall have no Head . In the Year 1683 , they shall Preach throughout the World . In the Year 1684 , shall Jesus Christ be known to Mankind . In the Year 1685 , a great Man shall rise . In the Year 1686 , a great Earthquake shall happen . In the Year 1687 , all Africa shall burn . In the Year 1688 , The four parts of the World shall be greatly astonished . And , In the Year 1689 , shall be the time when God shall judg the world .
