MDCLXVI . A Prognostick on this Famous Year 1666. Or , The Number of the Beast , so much talked of , Dialogue-wise , Chronogrammatically Explained . WO to the Year , in which three Sixes meet ! It doth Portend Disaster to some Fleet ; Some King to be o'erthrown ; some State dispers'd ; Some Laws Eradicated and Revers'd . Quest. THen tell me , Fatal Year , What King 's foreshown , Or here donoted to be overthrown ? Answ. If that you would this Mystery unfold , You may in LVDoVICVs him behold . Quest. Tell me , What State shall be dispers'd ? and Who , By scattering their Folk , shall it undo ? Answ. The King of England , if you will believe The Comets , shall the Hogen-Mogens drive . Quest. Tell me , What Laws then shall be rooted out ? And by whose means this shall be brought about ? Answ. The unjust Laws of Holland shall go down ; And their Nefarious Plots quite overthrown . And this , by th' Industry , Pains , Care , and Charge , Of Munsters Bishop , shall be done at large . ANd yet , for further Satisfaction , Look into St. Johns Revelation : And there you shall this read : Rev. 13.18 . Here Wisdom is , And he that understands , if , not amiss , He counts the Number of the Beast , shall find It to the Number of a man inclin'd . For so it is : and then your thoughts to fix , The Number is SIX HUNDRED SIXTY SIX : Which with the French Kings Name if you compare , The Number both with Beast and Man will square .
