Of three, two, one, the eighth a Seraphin.

ANNOT.

This is the description of a grand Cheat, when an old man called here Angel, shall stoop before a young one, whom he shall overcome at last, after they have been ten years equal. The last Verse is Mistical, for there is four numbers, three, two, one, which make six; and eight, which he calleth Seraphin, whether by allusion to that Quire of Angels, which some call the eight, or whether to the Order of St. Francis, who calleth it self Seraphical, is not easie to determine.

LXX.

French.

Il entrera vilain, meschant, infame,

Tyrannisant la Mesopotamie,

Tous amis fait d’Adulterine Dame,

Tetre horrible noir de Physiognomie.
