by Nostradamus

XLVII.

French.

Du Lac Leman les Sermons fascheront,

Des jours seront reduits par des Sepmaines,

Puis mois, puis an, puis tous defalliront,

Les Magistrats damneront leurs Loix vaines.

English.

The Sermons of the Leman Lake shall be troublesome,

Some days shall be reduced into weeks,

Then into months, then into year, then they shall fail,

The Magistrates shall condemn their vain Laws.

ANNOT.

The Leman Lake, in Latin Lacus Lemanus, is the Lake of Geneva, therefore it is palpable, that by this Prophecy, the Author aimeth at Calvin, and his Successors, who began the Reformation in that Town. I leave the rest to the Readers Judgement, it is enough I have opened the door.
