by Nostradamus

XCVIII.

French.

Celuy du sang respersé le visage,

De la Victime proche du Sacrifice,

Venant en Leo, augure par presage,

Mis estre a mort alors pour la fiance.

English.

He that shall have his face bloody,

With the blood of the Victim near to be sacrificed,

The Sun coming into Leo shall be an Augury by presage,

That then he shall be put to death for his confidence.

ANNOT.

I suppose this to be spoken of a Jewish Priest, who going about to practice the Ceremonial Law, in a Countrey where it is forbidden, shall be put to death for his bold confidence.
