ANNOT.

This Prophecy may admit of two Interpretations; the first, that Henry the IV. who was born in the Province of Bearn, not far from Thoulouze, the chief City of Languedoc, wherein there is a place upon the River called Basacle, where the Mills are, who was stobbed with a knife by Francis Ravillac in the year 1610.

The other is of the last Duke of Montmorency, who being Governour of Languedoc, took up Arms against the King, in the behalf of the Duke of Orleans, for which he was beheaded at Thoulouse at the solicitation of Cardinal Richelieu, which happened about the year 1632.

Vin a foison tres-bon pour les Gendarmes,

Pleurs & soupirs plaintes, cris, & alarmes,

Le Ciel fer ses Tonnerres pleuvoir,

Feu, eau, & sang le tout meslé ensemble,

Le Ciel de Sol en fremit & en tremble,
