XVII.

French.

Les bien aisez subit seront desmis,

Le monde mis par les trois freres en trouble,

Cité Marine saisiront ennemis,

Faim, feu, sang, peste, & de tous maux le double.

English.

Those that were at ease shall be put down,

The world shall be put in trouble by three Brothers,

The Maritine City shall be seized by its enemies,

Hunger, fire, blood, plague, and the double of all evils.

ANNOT.

It is not easie to tell what them three Brothers have been, or shall be, nor that Maritine or Sea City, therefore we leave it to the liberty of every ones judgement, the words being plain enough.
