French.

Mis en planure chauderon d’Infecteurs,

Vin miel en huile & bastis sur Fourneaux,

Seront plongez sans mal dit malfacteurs,

Sept. fum. extaint au Canon des Borneaux.

English.

A Dyers Kettle being put an a Plein,

With Wine, Honey and Oil, and built upon Furnace,

Shall be dipt, without evil, called Malefactors,

Seven. fum. put out at the Canon of Borneaux.

ANNOT.

This hath a relation to the punishment, which in some parts of France and Flanders is inflicted upon false Coiners, which are commonly boiled in Oil, in a great Kettle, such as our Author here saith belong to Dyers. The Author then will have that the time shall come, when seven of that gang shall be so punished together in a Plain, where a great Kettle shall be set for that purpose upon a Furnace.
