by Nostradamus

XCIV.

French.

De Nismes, d’Arles, & Vienne contemner,

Nobeyront a ledict Hesperique,

Au Labouriez pour le grand condamner,

Six eschapez en habit Seraphique.

English.

From Nismes, d’Arles and Vienna contempt,

They shall not obey the Spanish Proclamation,

To the Labouriez for to condemn the great one,

Six escaped in a Seraphical habit.

ANNOT.

It seemeth that those three aforenamed Towns will refuse to obey a Spanish Proclamation, that would compel them to condemn a great man; as for Labouriez it is a barbarous and non-sensical word.

The last Verse signifieth, that six shall escape, cloathed in Franciscan habits, called here Seraphical, because the Franciscans believe that a Seraphin did appear to St. Francis their Patron, from whence their Order is called by many the Seraphical Order.
