Chapter C: French

Le grand Empire sera par l’_Angleterre_,
Le _Pempotan_ des ans plus de trois cens,
Grandes Copies passer par Mer & Terre,
Les _Lusitains_ n’en seront pas contens.

English.

The great Empire shall be in _England_,
The _Pempotan_ for more then three hundred years,
Great Armies shall pass through Sea and Land,
The _Portugueses_ shall not be contented therewith.

ANNOT.

This is a favourable one for _England_, for by it the Empire, or the greatest Dominion of _Europe_ is promised to it, for the space of above three hundred years, at which the _Portugueses_ or _Spaniards_ shall much repine.

French.

_Meysinier_, _Manthi_, & le tiers qui viendra,
Peste & nouveau insult, enclos troubler.
_Aix_ & les lieux fureur dedans mordra,
Puis les _Phocens_ viendront leur mal doubler.

English.

_Meysinier_, _Manthi_, and the third that shall come,
Plague and new attempt shall trouble them enclosed,
The fury of it shall bite in _Aix_ and the places there about,
Then they of _Phocens_ shall come and double their misery.

ANNOT.

These are names of particular persons that are here threatned of the Plague, as also the City of _Aix_ Capital of _Provence_, and the Countrey about it, and after that the City of _Marseilles_ named here _Phocens_, because they are a Colony of the old _Phocenses_ in _Greece_.
