XLIX.

French.

Devant le peuple sang sera respandu,

Qui du haut Ciel ne viendra esloigner,

Mais d’un long temps ne sera entendu,

L’Esprit d’un seul le viendra tesmoigner.

Before the people blood shall be spilt,

Who Shall not come far from the high Heaven,

But it shall not be heard of for a great while,

The Spirit of one shall come to witness it.

ANNOT.

This Prophecie is concerning some just person, that shall be murdered openly: His blood shall cry to Heaven, but shall not be heard for a good while, till at last it shall be discovered by some body.
