F••llow Christians:
THere hath been many predictions of these present times, both o•••• o•• Sc••ipture, and other A••∣thors, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of wh••ch 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 he ••s re••ite; which I professe (before the great God of Heaven and Earth) is not out of any ostentation (in relation to my owne particular person) but meerly to stir up the hearts of all men, to take not ••••e of the Lords present designe; to which purpose in the Old Testament we ha•••• these Scriptures, viz. Dan. 2. 34, 35. & 7. 18. 27. M••l. 3. 1. &c. and 4. 1, 2. 3. 5. 6. Joel 2. 28, 29. 30. 31. ••2. In the New Testament, Mat. 17. 11. Rev. 18. 1. 2. 4. 6. & Chap. 21, &c.
For Predictions since, I shall only cite these, which I have col∣lected out of Mr. B••aines writings, a m••n yet I never saw.
I. Viz. One of Merlinus Calc••donius a Scot.
After a long tribulation of Christians, and effusion of innocent blood, the prosperity, and praise of God shall come to a desolate Na∣tion, I meane the Christians; for an excellent Pastor shall come, and rectifie all things, and all things, and all things shall be according to the forme of the primative Church.
II. Saint Bridget saith of the Pope, that a Sword of God shall peirce his body, and run him thorow from head, to heart, never to be pulled out; and after his Armies, his Ʋiccars, and Ministers, their Soules shall be debarred the glory of God, and their dignity, and goods, shall be devolved unto others.
III. Joaohim an Italian Abbot, in his concord of the two T••sta∣ments, hath written many Predictions, which accord with thes••.
IV. Joannes de rupe Scissa, once Bishop of Paris, hath fore-told, that the Popes, Arch-Bishops, Bishops, and the whole Clergy of Rome, shall be brought back again to the primative forme of Christ,

and his Apostles, with most sharp scurges, and that all temporall principalities shall be taken away from the Clergy.
V.
Joannes Wolsius citeth this Prediction, viz.
Europae genitus terra vir justus & aequus
Pastor earit, caeli claves non regna gubernan;
Pax erit, & toto surget concordia mundo:
Una fides, unus regnabit in omnia princeps.
What other late Predictions you have had, I leave to your me∣mories, I could say very much, in relation to my selfe, and how won∣derfully providence hath carried on this work by me, but I will not beare testimony of my selfe, let what is written doe it, whether for me, or against me.
