On the 11th. of Iune there first of all appeared an Angel in the shape of a Man to Kotterus, which spake to him as followeth: That the anger of God was kindled against mankind, and that in fury he hastened to inflict punish∣ment on them, except they repent of their Pride and Impurity, and for contempt of God and his Word. After this he vanished.

The Prophecy concerning Rome is, That the Lion of the Tribe of Iudah shall rore against the Whore of Babylon, behold she is now falling, but is not yet fallen, but presently shall fall. O thou cold, thirsty and presum∣ptuous City! it is not the height nor strength of thy Walls shall defend thee; behold the time is coming that thou shalt totter, and thy horrid lies, and false perverting of the Scriptures with thy spiritual fornications. O you Kings, you Princes, and Potentates, who do flatter her, and drink the Wine of her impurities, and partake of the Cup of her blasphemies. Behold the dry and withered Tree of the East begins to shoot forth her leaves, and her blushing knots; but the trees of the North do stand unmoved.

Behold the Lion of the North begins to rouse himself, and two other of the same colour do follow him that will pluck up the trees of the South, Root

and Branch. O that thou hadst known the day of thy visitation; but glory be to him that doth Wonders. After a little silence, the Angel said, O Babylon! fair but painted, and destitute of true foundation, false in thy Doctrine, false in thy Lfe, evil in thy Works, two and forty Months shall quickly be expired, and the three Days and half a Day shall come to an end: and the spirit of life shall return into those whom thou, O wicked Babylon, hast murdered. The five Months of thy Judgments will quickly be accom∣plished, and then the Pope, the Spouse of the Devil shall fall. The Angel further said, That besides the Devil, the great adversary of the Church, there are two others that shall destroy and tread down all things: one of them doth not yet know the true God, of whom he is now ignorant; but shall know him, for the time is at hand that he shall acknowledg the true God, and shall accomplish his decees against the great Whore, sitting upon the hills above the Sea, who is another trampler upon, and destroyer of the Church, whose remembrance is come in the sight of God, to give her a cup of the Excandescence of his Anger; he cares not for God, nor doth God care for him, for his time is almost past. Then Kotterus demanded of the Angel, Will there be a great effusion of Blood? the Angel answered, Yes: for since Germany is so stubborn as not to pray to Almighty God to withdraw his Rod and heavy Hand held over it, but doth more and more pro∣voke him, and doth still fill up the measure of her sins, that it runs over with the abundance thereof, therefore there shall be a great battle and overthrow to the Devil and the Dragon, and a great supper shall be prepared for the fowls of the air. Woe unto Caesar the King, and Princes, the Counts, and Barons: Woe unto the Countries and Cities of the German Empire; all these things shall fall upon you, Famine, Dearth and War, and effusion of Blood; for the condemnation of the great Beast is near and certain. Kot∣terus interposed again, and said, Shall the faithful be delivered from these great Judgments? the Angel answered, Reioyce O little Flock, thy Shep∣herd shall defend thee, you have in the Scriptures infallible promises of de∣liverance.

The Lion of the Tribe of Iudah is he who wageth war against Germany, and he doth manage it by the Lion of the East, and the Lion of the North, neither doth he want power or means to inflict his punishments for many great Causes.
