The Visions and Prophecies of Nich. Drabicius.

THis Drabicius was born at Straswick in Germany, (his Father was Con∣sul of the said City) he was Minister of Gods Word at Zeranick, he w••s attractive in his disc••urse, and grave in his conversation, he had a love and zeal to piety: His first vision was in the year 1643. A voyce spake unto him, saying, Write that the time is now come, I will revenge the offences given to my holy Name, I will cause the Turk to come and to overthrow Vienna, as Ierusalem was overthrown; and I will bring evil upon the house of Austria to cut it off from the earth, for she hath g••ven no ear to the peaceable coun∣sels of the King of Polonia, now her destruction approacheth. Drabicius a••ked, When it would come to pass? it was answered, to day and tomor∣row will fill up the measure of her iniquities; and I will bring many great and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Nations upon the house of Austria, and they shall tread upon Vienna, as Ierusalem and Samaria were trodden upon, to revenge my quar∣rel, and to drive away Idolaters, with the false Prophets, and to vindicate the in••uries offered to Frederick that was King of Bohemia, and to his proge∣ny, with whom you also have been banished. Drabicius asked, whether the progeny of the King of Bohemia be restored to their dignities? it was answered, Wherefore have I afflicted Germany, but because they did for∣sake him; woe to the Bohemians, wo to the Silesians, wo to the Moravians, for now is their destruction at hand. The Revelation, (••une 11.) Hear the voyce, O house of Austria, thy roots are in Hungaria, which I am now going to pluck up: but thou shalt perish with the Captain•• thy Coun••el∣lers, and thy posterity, thy strong men shall fall. The Revelation of April 7. 1646. As I awaked out of sleep, a voice sounded in m Ears: O house of

Austria! O thou house of Austria, I have born with thee, I have born; with thee, so many ages, I have advanced thy glory on high in the midst of many Nations, with much patience I expected thy conversion unto me thy Creator; but thy heart is grown fat, and thy eyes are darkened, that nei∣ther thy self, nor thy Captains shall see their lamentable fall and ruine, for the abomination thou hast committed. Who did seduce thee, O house of Au∣stria? thou hast forsaken me, and thrown my Laws behind thy back, and hast erected Idols of abomination throughout thy Cities and Streets, and in thy Temples and Chancels, thou hast set up Statues and Images, gilded and painted with beautiful colours. Thou with thy Counseller, and Judges, and Princes, hast neglected my word, and hast neglected justice, and righteousness, and mercy; therefore have I brought evil upon thee, and thy house: in vain dost thou lean upon a Reed, which is Spain: in vain thou ex∣pectest help from the Pope, Bavarian or Saxon, Mentz and Cologn will de∣ceive thee, for they have lost their strength with thee; for I have risen up against them, and have delivered their powers into their hands, who do make war against thee, that he may do to thee as to the house of Ahab, and to thy Priests, as my Servant Elias to the Prophets of Baal. October the 10. The word of the Lord came to me again, saying, Although it be not yet come to pass, whi••h not long since I declared to you, yet undoubtedly it shall take effect: For though he hath gained a peace for a time, he shall gain nothing by the delay of a little time, which nevertheless shall come, and is even at hand, for the destruction of the beast must begin in Hungaria.

And after a long silence, the Lord said to me again, All my words shall be fulfilled, that it may be manifest unto all, That I am he that will confound the counsels of my enemi••s, and will remove the half dead person from his Throne, by electing to me that chosen Vessel; the King of France, for whom Germany shall cry out, Long live, long live the King of France; which as soon as it shall be done by my command, who am King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, your liberties shall be restored, O ye worshippers of me.

And O you Kings, Princes, and commanders of my Army, and you my Ministers of the Gospel, throw in your net into the Sea, to fish for the Jews the remainder of my Vintage, on the right side, and on the left, for the Nations of Turkey and Tartary, and other places, for I have opened my Prisons, and healed the wounded▪ that they may be admitted to the Banquet of my House, the Church, and many rooms that are in it, are yet empty for those persons to be brought into it, the Iews and the Turks, and other peo∣ple

ignorant of the worship of the true God, and the Gospel of our Lord Je∣sus, who are to acknowledg me, and to come into the pales of my beloved Spouse.

I will have a reformation amongst the Idolatrous Ministers of the Whore, and those that shall be found refractory shall be put to death, for I will not have the least root of Popish Doctrine in any Nation, and I will that there be but one order and government of the Church amongst all Nations.

The chief scope of all these Prophecies and Revelations, being to invite men to attend the judgments of Almighty God in his punishments of the sin•• of the world, and to be made worthy of his mercies, which in the last age of the world he will pour forth on all mankind; It well becomes all mutu∣ally to admonish one another to repentance, and to increase our faith in the promises of God, and to inflame our mutual charity, to pray for one ano∣ther, that we may be made partakers of so unspeakable mercy. Amen.
