by Nostradamus

XLV.

French.

Secteur de Sectes, grand paine au Delateur,

Beste en Theatre, dresse le jeu Scenique,

Du fait antique ennobly l’Inventeur,

Par Sectes, Monde confus & Schismatique.

English.

Follower of Sects, great troubles to the Messenger,

A Beast upon the Theatre prepareth the Scenical play,

The Inventor of that wicked fact shall be famous,

By Sects the World shall be confounded and Schismatik.

ANNOT.

The Author being a Papist, is probable that in this Prophecy he aimed at Luther, after whose coming the world hath been full of Sects and Schisms.
