Prediction II.
Let the Protestants in France, says he, beware, for some Evil is portended by the Effects of Blazing Comet, if not prevented by the Relenting of the Divine Power, may chance to be manifested in the Southern Kingdoms, some Person whose Expectations have been frustrated, may turn the current of their Revenge to the Persecution of the Reformed Churches. In those parts the implacable malice of the Antichrist will be restless till he find means to work mischief in the Earth, many may be forced to abandon their Habitations, Houses shall be left de∣solate and Vineyards laid wast. About 82 let Italy be∣ware least a Tempest fall thereon, and that the War that has so long harrazed the Neighbouring Kings be not trans∣ported thither. Let Moscovy expect a Peace about this time, for the Turks may chance to be imployed in other Affairs. And let them beware least Persia prove some∣what troublesom to that spreading Empire.
As to this we cannot chuse but take notice, how the former part of the Prediction, or rather Prophecy, has happened in Relation to the Distress of the Reformed Churches now suffering under the Tyranny of Popish Cruelty, who have and do hold even unto Death all such as sincerely Profess Christs Gospel, and seek the utter ruine of all that will not comply with their Idolatrous Worship, and will not be content to fall down to the Idol of the Mass, the which, though all men of Reason or Sense know to be only Bread, they will have to be estee∣med no less then God the Son our ever Blessed Saviour,
