Forraign and domestick prophesies

A prophesie of Merlin Silvestris, but cited by Addafras, wherein is set out terrible threatnings against the late Royal party; also of a Conquerour of the race of Cynvin.

Y Meibion moel on a fydd altidion, ir garth yn grwn yn hwr y saeson, mawr fydd i chyddit, Pau gaffant gau ddvw ddial i llvd Geiriav a glowant, hwyntai de¦hallant, trwm fyddi dial pau i talwynt.

Tali ithawg Owain dan arfav llifain, gore vn ••••ab gau ddvw, wyt ith ddamwain, had lawn hvl ••ynvin hwiliant yn Tervin, ind rhaid vn gevyn er i gofid, llveddawg fyddant, lle a oresky∣n ut, ar loeger wys diroedd y Terfynaut, darogen Merddin pau a ••thar derfin, ar bawl egored y bv i dynged.

The Translation. The bare and plumed Lads shal be made impotent, and pend up in heaps in the English towers; great wil their sway be, when Gods heavy wrath and ind••gnation

falls upon them; words shal come amongst them, which wil be understood, but great wil their punishment be when it comes.

For Owen of a Princely race with his sharp arms, which is the most beloved of the son of God to be predicted of, and he shal be of the race and lineal descent of Cynvin▪ and shal sail forth to publick view in the end or appointed time; we need not look to their troubles, for they wil be possessed of mighty strong ar∣mies, and wil conquer places; they shal have ful power to dis∣pose of the Countrey of England: and this is the prophesie of Merlin Silvestris in his latter dayes, when his naked breast laid on a sharp stake.

The Reader may do well to take especial notice how the Pro∣phet delivereth his minde in the plural number, and saith, That they of the race of Cynvin shall sail forth, their trouble, they will be possessed, they will conquer places, they shall have full power to dispose of the Countrey of England: part of this is al∣ledged in the verdict of the fourth Jur. fol. 35.
