BUT to the Matter in hand. The last quarter, or the beginning of this will contribute Justly to a general peace between the Christians and the Turks, and Friendship betweem several Nations, for carrying on some great ends, which I incline to Conjecture to shew themselves before the Sum­mer Quarter be justly expired, whatever they may be, they will be attended with blows and bloody Noses before their effects are over. I expect that either this quarter or the beginning of the next, will give an insight unto some of these Predictions in my last years Almanack. And among the rest, I cannot but per­swade my self, That there will be about that time something more than ordi­nary to do in France or Spain, but chiefly the former. And I verily believe, Notwithstanding of the long Expectations had of his death, that the King of the Latter lives to see it.

Its twenty to one, but we shal about this time be made Sensible of some Popish or Jacobite Roguery, which for some Moneths past have been carried on in the dark, to undermine the Foundation of the present Govern­ment. This I believe will produce uneasiness, Disturbance, Troubles, and Removals of several kinds, but in a more eminent manner in some of the Superior Station, if not Raptures also in the general Affairs of the World
