Conjuction of Sol and Jupiter the year shall be peacefull without Eclipse and in the beginning of that year shall be a greater persecution against the Christian Church than ever was in Affrica and it shall last till the year 1792. at which time every body will think it a renovation of Age. After that the Roman people shall begin to stand upright again and to put away some obscure darknesses receiving some of its former light but not without great divisions and continual changes Venice after that with great strength and power shall lift up her Wings so high that she will not be much inferiour to the strength of the old Rome and in that time great Bizantine Sails joyned with the Ligustiques by the Northern help and power shall give some hinderance whereby those of Crete shall not keep their faith the Arches built by the antient Martial men will keep company together with Neptun's Waves In the Adriatick shall be a great discord what was united shall be parted asunder and what was before and is a great City will go near to becom a house including the Pempotan and the Mesopot amia of Europe to 45 and others to 41 42 and 37. And in that time and Countrey the Infernal power shall rise against the Church of I. C. with the power of the Enemies to his Law which shall be the second Antechrist who shall persecute the said Church and its Vicar by the means of the power of Temporal Kings who through their Ignorance shall be seduced by Tongues more sharp than any Sword in the hands of 2 mad man The said Reign of Antichrist shall not last but till the ending of him born by Age and of the other in the City of Plancus accompanied by the Elect of Modone Fulcy by Ferrara maintained by Adriatick Liguriens and the proximity of the great Trinacria and after that shall pass over the Mount Jovis The Gallique Ogmyon followed with such a number that even from afar off the Empire of the great Law shall be presented to him and then and after shall be profusedly spilled the blood of the Innocent by the Nocent raised on high then by great Floods the memory of those things contained by such Instruments shall receive an innumerable loss as also shall learning towards the North by the Divine Will Satan bound once more and an universal Peace shall be among men and the Church of I. C. shall be free from all tribulation although the Azosrains would fain mix among it the Honey of their pestilent seduction and this shall happen about the seventh Millinary so that the Sanctuary of I. C shall be no more trodden down by the unbelievers that shall come from the North the world being near to some conflagration although by my supputations in my Prophecies the course of the time goeth much further In the Epistle that within the late years I have dedicated to my Son Caesar Nostradamus I have openly enough declared some things without prognosticating But here Sir are comprehended many great and wonderful events which those that come after us shall see And during the said Astrological supputation conferred with the sacred Scripture the persecution of the Clergy shall have its beginning from the power of Northern Kings joyned with the Eastern ones that persecution shall last Eleven years and a little less at which time the chief Northern King shall fail which years being ended shall come in his united Southern one who shall yet more violently persecute the Clergy by the Apostatical seduction of one that shall have the absolute power over the Militant Church of God And the Holy people of God and keeper of his Law and all order of Religion shall be grievously persecuted and afflicted insomuch that the blood of the true Ecclesiastical men shall float all over and unto one of those horrid Kings this praise shall be given by his followers to have spilt more humane blood of the Innocent Clergy-men than any body can do Wine and the said King shall commit incredible crimes against the Church humane blood shall run through publick streets and Churches as water coming from an impetuous Rain and the next Rivers shall be red with blood and by another Sea fight the Sea shall be red insomuch that one King shall say to another Bellis rubuit navalibus aequor After that in the same year those that follow shall happen the most horrid Plague caused by the precedent famine and so great tribulations as ever did happen since the first foundation of the Christian Church through all the Latine Regions some marks of it remaining in some Countreys of Spain At that time the Northern King hearing the complaint of the people of his principal title shall raise up so great an Army and shall go through the straights of his last Ancestors and Progenitors that he will set up all again in their first state and the great Vicar of the Cope shall be restored in his former estate but desolate and altogether forsaken and then shall the Sancta sanctorum be destroyed by Paganism and the old and New Testament be thrust out and burnt after that shall Antechrist be the infernal Prince and once more for the last all the Kingdoms of Christendom and also of the unbelievers shall quake for the space of 25 years and there shall be more grievous Wars and Battles and Towns Cities Castles and other buildings shall be burnt desolate and destroyed with a great effusion of Vestal blood Married Women and Widows ravished sucking Children dashed against the Walls of the Towns and so many evils shall be committed by the means of the Infernal prince Satan that almost the universal world shall be undone and desolate and before these events many unusual Birds shall cry through the Air Huy Huy and a little while after shall vanish away And after that time shall have lasted a good while there shall be renewed a Kingdom of Saturn and Golden Age. God the Creator shall say hearing the affliction of his people Satan shall be put and tied in the bottom of the deep and there shall begin an universal peace between God and men and the Ecclesiastical power shall be in its greater force and Satan shall be left bound for the space of a thousand years and then shall be loosed again All these Figures are justly fitted by the sacred Scripture to the visible Coelestial things viz. Saturn Jupiter and Mars and others joyned with them as more at large may be seen in some of my Stanza's I would have calculated it more deeply and compared one with the other but seeing most excellent King that some stand ready to censure me I shall withdraw my Pen to its Nocturnal repose Multa etiam O Rex potentissime pr●clara sane in brevi ventura sed omnia in hac tua Epistola inne●tere non possumus nec volumus sed ad intelligenda quedam facta horrida fata pauca libanda sunt quamvis tanta sit

is to come I dare not assert LXXXIV French Paterne aura de la Sicile crie Tous les aprests du Gouphre de Trieste Qui s'entendra jusques a la Trinacrie De tant de voiles fuy fuy l'horrible peste English Paterne shall have out of Sicily a cry All the preparations of the Gulph of Trieste That shall be heard as far as Trinacry Of so many Sails fly fly the horrid plague ANNOT. It hath been impossible for me to make any sense of this and therefore I believe that it is falsely printed and that instead of Paterne it should be Palerme which is the chief Town in Sicily Trinacry is Sicily it self so called quod tria habeat 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 seu promontoria LXXXV French Entre Bayonne a Sainct Jean de Lux Sera posé de Mars la promottoire Aux Hanix d'Aquilon Nanar hostera Lux Puis suffoque au lit sans adjoutoire English Between Bayonne and Saint John de Lux Shall be put down the promoting of Mars From the Hunix of the North Nanar shall take away Lux Then shall be suffocated in his bed without help ANNOT. Bayonne is a Town in France upon the stontiers of Spain and Saint John de Lux is the utmost frontiere of France that way that being supposed he saith that about Saint John de Lux the promoting of the war shall be set down that is that peace shall be made as it was about seven or eight years ago between France and Spain and the Marriage concluded between the King and the Infanta The two last Verses are nonsensical and only set down to make up the rhime LXXXVI French Par Arnani Tholose Villefranque Bande infinie par le Mont Adrian Passe Riviere hutin par pont la planque Bayonne entrer tous Bichoro criant English By Arnani Tholose and Villefranche An infinite deal of people by the Aprian Cross Rivers noise upon the Bridge and plank Come all into Bayonne crying Bichoro ANNOT. Arnani Tholose and Villefranche are Towns of a Province in France called Languedoc Mont Adrian is a Mountain thereabout and Hutin is an old French word signifying noise and strife the sense then of this Prophecy is that by those Towns and Mountains shall pass an infinite multitude of people with a great noise and strite and shall come and enter into Bayonne every one crying in that Countrey Language Bichoro which is as much as to say Victory LXXXVII French Mort conspirée viendra en plein effet Charge donnée voyage de mort Esseu crée receus par siens desfait Sang d'innocence devant soy par remort English A conspired death shall come to an effect Charge given and a journey of death Elected created received by his own defeated Blood of Innocency before him by remorse ANNOT. There is no mistical sense in this and the words are plain although of crabbid construction LXXXVIII French Dans la Sardaigne un noble Roy viendra Qui ne tiendra que trois ans le Royaume Plusieurs couleurs avec soy conjoindra Luy mesme apres soin sommeil Matrirscome English A noble King shall come into Sardinia Who shall hold the Kingdom only three years He shall joyn many Colours to his own Himself afterwards care sleep matrirscome ANNOT. Sardinia is an Island in the Mediterranean Sea now in the possession of the Spapaniard since he took the Kingdom of Naples the three first Verses are something intelligible the last is altogether impossible and barbarous LXXXIX French Pour ne tomber entre mains de son oncle Qui ses enfans par regner trucidez Orant au peuple mettant pied sur Peloncle Mort traisné entre Chevaux bardez English That he might not fall into the hands of his Uncle That had murdered his Children for to rule Taking away from the people and putting his foot upon Peloncle Dead and drawn among armed Horses ANNOT. This signifieth that an Uncle shall murder his Nephews Children that he may Reign and that the said Nephew shall withdraw and save himself from the said Uncle The rest is altogether obscure if not absurd XC French Quand des croisez un trouvé de sens trouble En lieu du sacre verra un Boeuf cornu Par vierge porc son lieu lors sera double Par Roy plus ordre ne sera soustenu English When of the crossed one of a troubled mind In a sacred place shall see a horny Oxe By Virgin Pork then shall his place be double By King no henceforth order shall be maintained ANNOT. By the crossed is understood some order of Knight-hood who for the most part wear that Badge one of which being mad and seeing in a Church a Horny Oxe come by a Virgin Hog shall be kept from harm or rescued by a Hog or Sow that was a Virgin and it seems crossed the said Oxe that he should not gore the Knight that then such order of Knighthood shall be no more maintained nor upheld by the King of that Countrey wherein such thing shall happen XCI French Parmy les Champs des Rhodanes entrées Ou les croisez seront presques unis Les deux Brassiers en Pisces rencontrées Et un grand nombre par Deluge punis English Through the Fields of the Rhodanes comings in Where the crossed shall be almost united The two Brassiers met in Pisces And a great number punished by a Flood ANNOT. Rhodanus in Latine is the River ef Rhosne which cometh from Switzerland and passing through the Lake of Geneva runneth to Lyon it seemeth then that in those Fields that are about that River there will be a fearful inundation when the Brassiers or rather Croziers which is a constellation so called shall meet in Pisces which is one of the twelve Signs of the Zodiack XCII French Loin hors du Regne mis en hazard voiage Grand Ost duyra pour soy l'occupera Le Roy tiendra les siens captif ostage A son retour tout Pais pillera English Far from the Kingdom a hazardous journey undertaken He shall lead a great Army which he shall make his own The King shall keep his prisoners and pledges At his return he shall plunder all the Countrey ANNOT. These obscure words signifie no more but that a King shall send a great Army far from his Kingdom the Commander of which Army shall make the Army his own which the King hearing shall seize upon the Commanders Relations and keep them Prisoners and Hostages for which the said General being angry shall at his return spoil the Countrey XCIII French Sept mois sans plus obtiendra prelature Par son decez grand schisme fera naistre Sept mois tiendra un autre la Preture Pres de Venise paix union renaistre English Seaven months and no more he shall obtain the Prelacy By his decease he shall cause a great Schisme Another shall be seven months chief Justice Near Venice peace and union shall grow
