IV.

French.

L’An ensuivant descouverts par Deluge,

Deux chefs esleus, le premier ne tiendra,

De fuyr ombre a l’un deux le refuge,

Saccagée case qui premier maintiendra.

English.

The year following being discovered by a Flood,

Two Chiefs elected, the first shall not hold,

To fly from shade, to one shall be a refuge,

That house shall be plundered which shall maintain the first.

ANNOT.

Our Author meaneth, that the year after the former Prophecy is come to pass, this shall also be fulfilled, whereby two Chief Commanders shall be chosen, the first of which shall not stand, but shall be compelled to run away, and to seek his security in the open Fields, and that house that did uphold the first shall be plundered.
