’After then, shall come through the south with the sun, on horse of tree, and upon all waves of the sea, the Chicken of the Eagle, sailing into Britain, and arriving anon to the house of the Eagle, he shall shew fellowship to them beasts.

’After, the Chicken of the Eagle shall nestle in the highest rock of all Britain:  nay, he shall nought be slain young; nay, he nought come old.’

Another Latin copy renders the last verse thus: 

Deinde pullus Aquilae nidificabit in summo rupium, nec juvenis occidetur, nec ad senium perveniet. There is after this, percificato regno omnes occidet; which is intended of those persons put to death, that sat as Judges upon his father’s death.

THE VERIFICATION.

His Majesty being in the Low-Countries when the Lord General had restored the secluded Members, the Parliament sent part of the Royal Navy to bring him for England, which they did in May 1660.  Holland is East from England, so he came with the sun; but he landed at Dover, a port in the south part of England.  Wooden-horses, are the English ships.

Tunc nidificabit in summo rupium.

The Lord General, and most of the gentry in England, met him in Kent, and brought him unto London, then to White-hall.

Here, by the highest Rooch, (some write Rock,) is intended London, being the metropolis of all England.

Since which time, unto this very day I write this story, he hath reigned in England, and long may he do hereafter. 10th December, 1667.

Had I leisure, I might verify the whole preceding part concerning King Charles.  Much of the verification thereof is mentioned in my Collection of Prophecies, printed 1645.  But his Majesty being then alive, I forbore much of that subject, not willing to give offence.  I dedicated that book unto him; and, in the conclusion thereof, I advised his return unto Parliament, with these words, Fac hoc & vives.

There was also a Prophecy printed 1588, in Greek characters, exactly decyphering the long troubles the English nation had from 1641 until 1660; and then it ended thus: 

‘And after that shall come a dreadful dead man, and with him a Royal G.’ [it is Gamma in the Greek, intending C. in the Latin, being the third letter in the alphabet,] ’of the best blood in the world, and he shall have the Crown, and shall set England on the right way, and put out all heresies.’

Monkery being extinguished above eighty or ninety years, and the Lord General’s name being Monk, is the Dead Man.  The Royal G. or C. is Charles the Second, who, for his extraction, may be said to be of the best blood in the world.

These two prophecies were not given vocally by the angels, but by inspection of the crystal in types and figures, or by apparition the circular way, where, at some distance, the angels appear, representing by forms, shapes, and creatures, what is demanded.  It is very rare, yea, even in our days, for any operator or master to have the angels speak articulately; when they do speak, it is like the Irish, much in the throat.
