French.

Un Bragamas avec la langue torte,

Viendra des dieux rompre le Sanctuaire,

Aux Heretiques il ouvrira la porte,

En suscitant l’Eglise Militaire.

English.

A Bragamas with his crooked Tongue,

Shall come and break the Gods Sanctuary,

He shall open the Gates unto Hereticks,

By raising the Militant Church.

ANNOT.

Bragamas is the same thing that we call now Bragadocio. By the Gods Sanctuary, he meaneth the Temples of the Romish Religion, who are reputed Sanctuaries, and are full of Images, which they worship as Gods, praying and offering Incense to them.
