XLV.

French.

Les cinq estranges entrez dedans le Temple,

Leur sang viendra la Terre prophaner,

Aux Thoulousain sera bien dur exemple,

D’un qui viendra ses loix exterminer.

English.

The five strangers having come into the Church,

The blood shall prophane the ground,

It shall be a hard example to those of Thoulouse,

Concerning one that came to break their Laws.

ANNOT.

I suppose these five strangers to be five Commissioners, for the altering something in the Government of Thoulouse, who shall be all killed in a Church, and the ground prophaned by their blood, according to the Romish opinion.
