The true prophecies or prognostications of Michael Nostradamus, physician to Henry II. Francis II. and Charles IX. Kings of France, and one of the best astronomers that ever were. / A work full of curiosity and learning. Translated and commented by Theophilus de Garencieres, Doctor in Physick Colleg. Lond.

by Nostradamus

Chassez bannis & livres censureq,

L’An mil six cens & sept par sacrez glomes,

Que nul au sacres ne seront asseurez.

English.

The number of Astronomers shall grow so great,

Driven away, bannished, Books censured,

The year one thousand six hundred and seven by sacred glomes,

That none shall be secure in the sacred places.

ANNOT.

The sense of this is clear, viz. that about the year 1607. the number of Astronomers shall grow very great, of which some shall be expelled and banished, and their Books censured and suppressed: the rest is insignificant to me.
