Manifest signs and tokens to know and discern the prophecyed Conqueror when he comes.

This Conquerour by consent of Prophets, wil be meek and lowly, without pride or wilful contempt, That he wil keep and preserve his bod in his youthful years in capacity of war∣like affairs, till he takes that great charge in hand, and wil hold on in that carful preservation til he makes an end of his Con∣quest, both in great Brittain, and elsewhere, and until he makes a full Conquest of his enmies, and winne the holy Cross.

Page 54

This Conquerour wil be a Brittain by the fathers side, but an English-man born, and in his time wil be the greatest Ar∣mies of men, that ever was heard of before in Brittain, with which he wil challenge his enemies to the field at the borders of Rivers and waters, and by strength of his great Armies he wil drive Armies of Pagans to be drowned. That he wil be a Wolf with open and devouring mouth to the strong that wil resist him, and as innocent as a Lamb to the weak and harm∣less.

Further, the Prophets have foretold that he wil be Empe∣rour of Rome, and that he wil conquer Africa, and from thenceforth wil he be called the Cock of the Brittaines, and he wil be the sixt, which wil make his way from Ireland to the holy Land.
