Fair Gwendolina, let not this Revelation trouble thee; for the field of wheat signifies this Island of Brittain, and the wheat signifies the Inhabitants of the same. The ripe ears and the green straw foretells, that in such time hereafter, young men wil have white hoary heads, which wil be so strange to be∣hold
as to see ripe ears of wheat on green stalks: The Swine which thou sawest breaking the hedge and entering into the field of wheat, signifies, That an innumerable company of strangers wil enter into this Island, which wil destroy the Inha∣bitants thereof, after the same manner as thou sawest the Swine destroying the whea••: And the Grey-hounds do signifie, that there wil come white Grey-hounds, which will revenge the blood of the white-headed youths, on the swine, and these Swine wil be chased away and destroyed by the Grey-hounds, viz. the remnant that wil be left undestroyed, and this is the Interpretation of thy Revelation.
