XXXIV.

French.

Du plus profond de l’occident _Anglois_, Ou est le chef de l’Isle _Britanique_, Entrera classe en _Garonne_ par _Blois_, Par Vin & Sel faux cachez aux barriques.

English.

From the deepest Westerly part of _England_, Where the chief of the _Britain_ Island is, A Fleet shall come into the _Garonne_ by _Blaye_, By Wine and Salt fire shall be hidden in Barrels.

ANNOT.

There is a notable and sensible error in the _French_ Copy, and without reforming it, the sense is not only obscure, but also impossible; for instead of _Blois_, which the Author hath put here, I suppose to make the rime good, it must be written _Blaye_, which is a Sea Town of the mouth of the River _Garonne_, and _Blois_ is a mid-Land Town, upon the River _Loire_, about a hundred Leagues distant from the other.

The rest signifieth no more, but that there shall be some Warlike Stratagem made use of by the _French_ (understood here by the names of _Wine and Salt_) in puting fire into Barrels.
