French.

De Fez le Regne parviendra a ceux d’Europe,

Feu leur Cité, & Lame tranchera,

Le grand d’Asie Terre & Mer a grand troupe,

Que bleux, pars, Croix a mort dechassera.

English.

The Kingdom of Fez shall come to those of Europe,

Fire and Sword shall destroy their City,

The great one of Asia by Land and Sea with a great troop,

So that blews, greens, Crosses to death he shall drive.

ANNOT.

This is strange Prophecy if it prove true, viz. that the Kingdom of Fez (which is in Africa) shall be taken by those of Europe, and the Town put to Fire and Sword, after which the great one of Asia (meaning the great Turk) shall come by Land and by Sea with an innumerable Army, and shall drive and destroy all before him.
