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.
