L.

French.

_Libra_ verra regner les _Hesperies_, De Ciel & Terre tenir la Monarchie, D’_Asie_ forces nul ne verra peries, Que sept ne tiennent par rang la Hierarchie.

English.

_Libra_ shall see _Spain_ to Reign, And have the Monarchy of Heaven and Earth, No body shall see the forces of _Asia_ to perish, Till seven have kept the Hierarchy successively.

ANNOT.

_Libra_ is one of the twelve signs of the _Zodiack_, which is favourable to _Spain_, so that the meaning of this is, that _Libra shall see ~Spain~ to Reign_.

And besides that, _to have the Monarchy of Heaven and Earth_; that is, to have the command of the Pope, and of the best part of _Europe_. So that no _Asian_ or _Turkish_ forces shall receive damage by the Christians, till seven Popes of the _Spanish_ faction have Reigned successively, and one after another.
