LXVIII.

French.

En l’an bien proche non esloigné de _Venus_, Les deux plus grands de l’_Asie_ & d’_Affrique_, Du _Rhine_ & _Ister_ qu’on dira sont venus, Cris, pleurs a _Malthe_, & coste _Ligustique_.

English.

In a year that is to come shortly, and not far from _Venus_, The two greatest ones of _Asia_ and _Affrica_, Shall be said to come from the _Rhine_ and _Ister_, Crying, and tears shall be at _Maltha_ and in the _Ligurian_ shore.

ANNOT.

The _Rhine_ is a River in _Germany_, _Ister_ is another in the Countrey of _Istria_, belonging to the _Venetians_.

By the first Verse, I conclude that this Prophecy came to pass a little while after the Author wrote this Book, when the grand Segnor _Solyman_ besieged _Maltha_, and put in fear all the _Ligurian_ Coast, which is that of _Genoa_.
