by Nostradamus

XVIII.

French.

Par les Physiques le grand Roy delaissé,

Par sort non art de l’Ebrieu est en vie,

Luy & son Genre au Regne hault pousé,

Grace donnée a gent qui Christ envie.

English.

The great King being forsaken by Physicians,

Shall be kept alive by the Magick and not by the art of a Jew,

He, and his kindred shall be set at the top of the Kingdom,

Grace shall be given to a Nation that envieth Christ.

ANNOT.

This in plain words signifieth no more, but that a King shall be desparately sick and forsaken by his Physicians, and shall recover by the help of a Jew, for which fact those of that Nation shall be reestablished in his Countrey.
