The Prophecy contained in the two first Verses came to pass in the time of _Henry_ the III. King of _France_, when the _Parisians_ did rebel against him, and made Barricadoes in the streets, thinking to have taken him, who was compelled to run away for his life, and fly to _Chartres_. This rebellion was raised and fomented by _Henry_ of _Lorraine_ Duke of _Guise_, whom the King afterwards caused to be murdered, with his brother the Cardinal of _Lorraine_, at the Convention of the three Estates kept at _Blois_.

_Orleans_, _Angers_, _Troyes_, _Langres_, are remarkable Cities in _France_.
