<HEAD>The PROPHECIE of <HI>Paulus Grebnerus</HI> Concerning the&s;e Times.</HEAD>
<P><HI>_PAulus Grebnerus</HI> was here in <HI>England</HI> with Queen <HI>Eli&s;abeth, Anno</HI> 1582. and pre&s;ented her with a fair Manu&s;cript in Latine, de&s;cri|bing therein the future hi&s;torie of Europe, here and there limming in water-colors Som principal pa&s;&s;ages.</P>
<P>Dr. <HI>Nevil,</HI> Clerk of the Clo&s;et, beeing in favour with the Queen obteined this book of Her, and be&s;towed it on the Librarie of <HI>Trinitie-Colledg</HI> in CAMBRIDG, where it hath been publi&s;hed to the view of all per&s;ons, till about 5 or 6 years ago, by much peru&s;ing and ill handling, it was much &s;lurred and defaced.</P>
<P><LABEL>In his Predictions</LABEL>Hee de&s;cribeth the Troubles of <HI>Ru&s;sia,</HI> and the Election of a <HI>Swedi&s;h</HI> King, <HI>Sigi&s;|mund</HI> by name, to bee King of <HI>Polonia,</HI> by which hee &s;hall irrecoverably lo&s;e his own inheritance.</P>
<P>That of the <HI>Swedi&s;h</HI> race there &s;hould bee one GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS by name, that &s;hould take heart from the di&s;tractions of <HI>Germanie</HI> to invade the Empire with a &s;mall Armie, fight manie Battels pro&s;perou&s;ly, but &s;hould at la&s;t peri&s;h in a pitcht-field.</P>
<P>That about that time &s;hould Reign <HI>Rex Septentrionalis nomine</HI> CAROLUS, <HI>qui ducet Uxorem Mariam Papi&s;ticam, ex quo evadet Regum infelici&s;simus. Tunc Populus ip&s;ius Ditionis eliget &s;ibi alium Imperatorem, Comitem; qui durabit in Imperio tres annos, aut circiter. Ac po&s;tea idem Populus eliget alium Imperatorem, Equitem, non eju&s;dem familiae nec Dignitatis, qui detrudet omnia &s;ub pedibus &s;uis: durabit aliquan|t&ograve; longiore tempore: &amp; po&s;t hunc eliget nullum.</HI></P>
<P><HI>Po&s;t hunc apparebit quidam</HI> CAROLUS <HI>&egrave;</HI> CAROLO <HI>de&s;cendens, cum im|mens&acirc; Cla&s;&s;e in litore Ditionis patris &s;ui, &amp; cum Auxiliariis Danicis, Suedicis, Hollan|dicis, Francicis pro&s;ternet adver&s;ariros &s;uos, &amp; admini&s;trabit Imperium perfelici&s;sim&egrave;, &amp; long&egrave; lat&eacute;que dominabitur, &amp; erit Carolo Magno major.</HI></P>
<P><LABEL>Engli&s;hed Thus:</LABEL>&mdash;About that time a Northern-King &s;hould Reign, CHARLES by Name, who &s;hall take to wife MARIE of the Popi&s;h Religion, whereupon Hee &s;hall bee a mo&s;t unfortunate Prince. Then the People of his Dominion &s;hall chu&s;e to them&s;elvs another Commander <HI>[or Governor] viz.</HI> an Earle: who&s;e Government &s;hall la&s;t three years, or thereabout. And afterwards the &s;ame People &s;hall chu&s;e another Com|mander <HI>[or Governor] viz.</HI> a Knight, not of the &s;ame Familie, nor Dignitie, who &s;hall trample all things under his feet: hee &s;hall endure &s;omwhat longer time: And after him they &s;hall chu&s;e none at all.</P>
<P>After him &s;hall appear one CHARLES de&s;cending from CHARLES, with a mightie Navie on the Shore of His Father's Kingdom, and with Aid from <HI>Denmark, Swedeland, Holland, France</HI> &s;hall overthrow His Adver&s;aries, and &s;hall govern His Kingdom wonderful happily, and &s;hall bear Rule far and near: and &s;hall bee greater then CHARLES the Great.</P>
