by Nostradamus

XCIII.

French.

Sept mois sans plus obtiendra prelature,

Par son decez grand schisme fera naistre,

Sept mois tiendra un autre la Preture,

Pres de Venise paix union renaistre.

English.

Seven months and no more, he shall obtain the Prelacy,

By his decease he shall cause a great Schisme,

Another shall be seven months chief Justice,

Near Venice peace and union shall grow again.

ANNOT.

By this Prophecy three things are foretold, the first is of a Pope that shall sit but seven months, at whose death there will be a great Schisme; the second is of a great Governour or Chief Justice, such as were called by the ancient Romans Prætores, shall be in authority also but seven months; and the third, that hard by Venice all these differences shall be composed, and peace made again.
