XCVIII.

French.

Celuy du sang respersé le visage, De la Victime proche du Sacrifice, Venant en _Leo_, augure par presage, Mis estre a mort alors pour la fiance.

English.

He that shall have his face bloody, With the blood of the Victim near to be sacrificed, The Sun coming into _Leo_ shall be an Augury by presage, That then he shall be put to death for his confidence.

ANNOT.

I suppose this to be spoken of a Jewish Priest, who going about to practice the Ceremonial Law, in a Countrey where it is forbidden, shall be put to death for his bold confidence.
