by Nostradamus

XIV.

French.

Faux exposer viendra Topographie,

Seront les Urnes des Monuments ouvertes,

Pulluler Sectes, sainte Philosophie,

Pour blanches noires, & pour antiques vertes.

English.

They shall expound Topography falsly,

The Urnes of the Monuments shall be open,

Sects shall multiply, and holy Philosophy

Shall give black for white, and green for old.

ANNOT.

This is a perfect description of our late miserable estate in England, when there was such multiplicity of Sects, and such a Prophanation of sacred things.
