Out of the Appendix of the same, fol. 117.

The Revelation of Reynardus saith, That after ten years past in after-times, a great Eagle shall arise, which shall chastise ma∣ny, and make the inhabitants of the seas to mourn. Who can resist him (saith he) seeing he hath power from the most High? he shall carry away with him 3 kingdomes, and the people shall cry Alas, alas, wo, wo: the same is the great Eagle, which af∣ter 5 years sleep, shall begin to talk familiarly with the Lily, and afterwards shall make it to tremble, together with other lofty mountaines; Cities and Castles he shall astonish with the noise of his wings, and there shall be a great and bitter mourning, such as hath not been heard of of old, amongst the Inhabitants of the West sea, and in the Virginal land, he shall spoil the Lilies.

In the which predictions, the great Eagle seemeth to be the Turk, who should subdue the rest of the Empire, and mighti∣ly subdue the Countries of the West, especially the most noble Countrey of France, according to some other predictions for∣merly alledged.
