French.

Ensevely non mort Apoplectique,

Sera trouvé avoir les mains mangees,

Quand la Cité damnera l’Heretique,

Qu’avoit leur Loix ce leur sembloit changees.

English.

One buried, not dead, but Apoplectical,

Shall be found to have eaten up his hands,

When the City shall blame the heretical man,

Who as they thought had changed their Laws.

ANNOT.

Many persons (according to Histories being only in a fit of Apoplexy) have been buried for dead, and being afterwards taken out of the ground, have been found to have eaten up their hands, as I my self have seen one digged out of Saint Bartholomews Church-yard, about the time that the City of London began to be weary of Cromwels devices and Tyranny, yet I would not here definitively assert, he was the man here pointed at by the Title and Epithete of Heretical man, unless it were in the point of government.
