Monethly Predictions upon May.

THis Moneth entreth with great difference of Judgements amongst our grand ••atriots: the Souldier seems ill pleased, and the crosse influence of Heaven may be feared to stir up Mens courages to act some new and unpleasing Acti∣ons in Ireland, Scotland and France; Deus avertat. Oppressions and delayes even sads the spirits of our best affected Friends. They are but Men, and they have been suparlatively passive. Down goes some Clergy-men, either by the folly of their own Troasons against the State, or their own ill guided passions. The Scots are still pelting at our Souldiers; some ragged companions they muster and martial to our annoyance. Many stubborn Citizens of London repine at the present times; some of them may repent this Moneths actions or consultations. Again the Scot pretends friendship, but I fear his Treason. Were it a time of Warre, much mur∣der, many slaughters would appear; now in a serene time strange Robberies, Pyra∣cies, and some eminent offenders questioned, sentenced and put to death. Blesse us oh God from intestine Insurrections. France smarts with Divisions, and great blood-shed seems neer hand there. A Feaver, the Sword, or a most violent one takes an eminent Man out of the World about this Moneth.
