The PROPHECIE of Paulus Grebnerus Concerning these Times .

PAulus Grebnerus was here in England with Queen Elisabeth , Anno 1582. and presented her with a fair Manuscript in Latine , describing therein the future historie of Europe , here and there limming in water-colors Som principal passages .

Dr. Nevil , Clerk of the Closet , beeing in favour with the Queen obteined this book of Her , and bestowed it on the Librarie of Trinitie-Colledg in CAMBRIDG , where it hath been published to the view of all persons , till about 5 or 6 years ago , by much perusing and ill handling , it was much slurred and defaced .

Hee describeth the Troubles of Russia , and the Election of a Swedish King , Sigismund by name , to bee King of Polonia , by which hee shall irrecoverably lose his own inheritance .

That of the Swedish race there should bee one GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS by name , that should take heart from the distractions of Germanie to invade the Empire with a small Armie , fight manie Battels prosperously , but should at last perish in a pitcht-field .

That about that time should Reign Rex Septentrionalis nomine CAROLUS , qui ducet Uxorem Mariam Papisticam , ex quo evadet Regum infelicissimus . Tunc Populus ipsius Ditionis eliget sibi alium Imperatorem , Comitem ; qui durabit in Imperio tres annos , aut circiter . Ac postea idem Populus eliget alium Imperatorem , Equitem , non ejusdem familiae nec Dignitatis , qui detrudet omnia sub pedibus suis : durabit aliquantò longiore tempore : & post hunc eliget nullum .

Post hunc apparebit quidam CAROLUS è CAROLO descendens , cum immensâ Classe in litore Ditionis patris sui , & cum Auxiliariis Danicis , Suedicis , Hollandicis , Francicis prosternet adversariros suos , & administrabit Imperium perfelicissimè , & longè latéque dominabitur , & erit Carolo Magno major .

— About that time a Northern-King should Reign , CHARLES by Name , who shall take to wife MARIE of the Popish Religion , whereupon Hee shall bee a most unfortunate Prince . Then the People of his Dominion shall chuse to themselvs another Commander [ or Governor ] viz. an Earle : whose Government shall last three years , or thereabout . And afterwards the same People shall chuse another Commander [ or Governor ] viz. a Knight , not of the same Familie , nor Dignitie , who shall trample all things under his feet : hee shall endure somwhat longer time : And after him they shall chuse none at all .

After him shall appear one CHARLES descending from CHARLES , with a mightie Navie on the Shore of His Father's Kingdom , and with Aid from Denmark , Swedeland , Holland , France shall overthrow His Adversaries , and shall govern His Kingdom wonderful happily , and shall bear Rule far and near : and shall bee greater then CHARLES the Great .
