ANNOT.

This Prophecy was fulfilled, when _Rome_ was taken and sacked by _Charles_ Duke of _Bourbon_, and _Philibert_ of _Chalon_ Prince of _Orenge_, Generals of the Emperour _Charles_ the V. with such cruelties, as never was committed by the bloody _Goths_ and _Vandales_, and to shew that the Author intended _Rome_, is apparant by two instances. The first is by _the great River_, which is the _Tyber_, which though not very great in its Channel and depth, yet is very great, yea, the greatest in _Europe_ by its fame. The other is the word _Colisée_, which is that famous Arch of _Traian_ in _Rome_, remaining yet to this day.
