Chapter XLII: French

Les dix Calendes d’_Avril_ de fait _Gothique_,
Resuscité encor par gens malins,
Le feu estaint, assemblée Diabolique,
Cherchant les Os de _Damant_ & _Psellin_.

English.

The tenth of the Calends of _April_, _Gothik_ account,
Raised up again by malitious persons,
The fire put out, a Diabolical assembly,
Shall seek for the Bones of _Damant_ and _Psellin_.

ANNOT.

The tenth of the Calends of _April_ is the 23. of _March_, _Gothik_ account signifieth the old account of the Calendar, before the reformation of it by Pope _Gregory_ the XIII. which old account is called here _Gothik_, because it is kept still by the Northern Nations, which do not acknowledge the Pope, as _Sweden_, _Denmark_, _Holland_, _England_, &c. at that time saith our Author, a Magician shall be raised up by malitious persons; which fire or tumult being put out, that Diabolical assembly will go about to seek the bones of two famous Magicians, _viz._ _Damant_ and _Psellin_ that were dead before.

XLIII.

French.

Avant qu’aviene le changement d’Empire,
Il adviendra un cas bien merveilleux,
Le Champ mué, le Pilier de _Porphyre_,
Mis, translaté sur le Rocher Noileux.

English.

Before the change of the Empire cometh,
There shall happen a strange accident,
A field shall be changed, and a Pillar of _Prophyry_,
Shall be transported upon the Chalky Rock.

ANNOT.

This will not seem incredible to those that have read the _English_ Chronicles, who relates that in a County of _England_ (I think it is _Herefordshire_) there was an Earthquake, which transposed a large piece of ground in another place, with the Trees that were in it, and if I remember well, half a Chappel, those that have the Books may examine the truth of the History, and satisfie themselves better.
