This is the description of a sad Tragedy, which to understand, you must joyn all the Verses together, and make it one sense. The Adulterer wounded without a blow, is one that shall get a disease, (suppose the Pox) his wife finding fault with it, he shall murder her, and her Son; she not being quite dead shall strangle another Child (which it seemeth she had by this Adulterer) and for this fact eight shall be taken prisoners and immediately hanged, by which you must suppose the fact to be done in France, for there they Judge and Hang immediately, whereby in England they must stay till Sessions-time.

Dedans les Isles les enfans transportez,
Les deux de sept seront en desespoir,
Ceux de terrouer en seront supportez,
Nompelle prins, des ligues fuy l’espoir.

In the Islands the Children shall be transported,
The two of seven shall be in despair,
