The Translation.

Let us make our confession to the blessed and rich Trinity, who is riches it self, a warm supporter and ruler of ages, where∣in the righteous works of Jesus are abundantly manifested unto the sons of men without want; unto whom we should preferr our humble petitions, and blow every Thursday a Trumpe, least we be terrified with the nois of the Lords Trumpet that certain∣ly shall sound, let sinners quake and tremble for their sins pre∣sent and past.

A Nation have denied the confession of their manifold sins committed like streams of Rivers; and this they have done for the terrour of their deserved punishment; nay, they will deny the making bare of innocent children, leaft the terrour of judg∣ment should dishearten them.

Let the pure soules lovingly enjoy the cities, and let them prosper which singeth out the prosperity of cities, and walles, which shall enjoy misery, heaviness and payment of Taxations, wo and misery will fall unto them when warrs and revenge will come amongst them, wo and misery unto them when a Dragon from Powis appears amongst them, whose warlike actions will produce streames of glistering blood from his enemies, miserie when the Ravens of North-Wales will begin their slaughtered feast, miserie when the wotthy Bear from the borders of the South will appear, and when men are fetcht to separate a predi∣cted kinsman from his own; miserie to the active English after their losse of a kingdom, misery for merciless excuses, misery to Cornwall when it shall hear of their wrongful doings, where blades of swords shall hack and hew for their sins; misery when manifold and cruel bloody streams shall run, and when feet and legs shall be wanting, misery shall fall from the violent heat of Armies; and let all these miseries and slaughter prove advantagious to the Brittains; miserie to an English, confined, after his wrongful proceedings, and then a she-Gyant will be without gaine; and before the end of the plague a parish will be wanting, and the aged from Maelor by such a time will get the

best conquest, and the bruised Germanes shall lament their mi∣serable losse, with bloody strosks about their ribs in remem∣brance of their op••ression, in oppressing a man paternally from the Brittains, the oppressors of Brittain with their ravening clawes turned of.

Then shall be tumults and insurrections after slaughters, but the impotent shall afterwards be suppressed with violence, to prevent their plottings and insurrections.

He that shal discover these miseries to great Brittain, shal be counted a Teacher of teachers, and the wise teacher of hea∣ven guide and blesse him with peace; his innocent work will be of the nature of spiritual godly souls, and let the Lord God re∣lieve his wants and plead for him, and such shal understand the gift of his knowledge, and I wil deliver with praise that his knowledge may never fail him him.
