W[hite 1620?] Woodblock 1: first half sheet, above first and second column: In the foreground, several men, their hats in their hands, approach as supplicants an armed and armored enthroned figure among five tents. In the background left, an armored man (apparently the same figure) kneels on a hilltop in prayer and supplication to God (indicated by the Hebrew letters JHVH in the clouds above him), while armored men advance up the hill from under the trees. The hilltop is bordered by a row of trees behind it. Beyond the trees, troops issue forth from a city visible on a hill to the upper left side of the picture. Captions in upper frame, IO SV 7 on left, Hebrew letters: 'JHVH' in Glory at Center, and IO SV. 10 at right. To the right, an armored man (apparently the same figure) (beneath a canopy of trees?) pulls on a rope with both hands to hang one of a number of men (possibly the supplicants from the foreground) hanging from the trees with their hands apparently bound behind them. In the extreme background on the right, a tailed figure (possibly a devil?) appears bent over facing towards the hanging men.: 65 x 94 Woodblock 2: first half sheet, above third column: A band of mounted warriors travel through a mountain pass, apparently fleeing the foot soldiers behind them. The rearmost horseman holds his shield behind him against an upraised sword. Two dead horses and two armored men lie dead on the ground in the foreground of the battle. The retreating figures carry shields and spears. The foot soldiers carry shields and spears, two of which bear banners. The foremost foot soldier raises a large sword against one of the fleeing horsemen. In the left foreground, a group of foot soldiers carrying polearms move away from the battle, possibly as part of the larger group visible in the background left (rounding the edge of the pass in a flanking maneuver?). In the top center of the picture is a blank caption bubble, presumably for the printer to insert the name of an appropriate battle.: 65 x 73 Woodblock 3: second half sheet, above fourth and fifth columns: In the foreground, a long-haired man in a cloak and hat (with ears?) stands on a hilltop between two fires, looking upward at a face in the clouds (God?). Smoke issues upward from the fires. Lightning issues down from the clouds towards him. To the left, in the background a group of people stand below the hill looking up towards the figure. Behind them stand a large number of tents.: 52 x 72 Pepys Library The Pepys ballads : facsimile volume Editor W.G. Day D.S.

[?] [w]onders of the Lord are great, [?] daylie may be seene, [F]ier, Water, Ayre, and Earth, [Wh]ich hath full often beene, [?]ple doe we take, [?] courses runne, [?]age more sinne commit, [?] were new begun. [?] daylie doe arise, [W]horedome, Theft, and Pride: [?]ters we doe reject, [?]rdes should be our guide. [?] there any peace as yet, [?] ull then now: [?] and Corne, & all thinges else, [?]uly power did low. [?] great unthankefulnesse, Gods powerfull hand: Great store of Floods, and Raine, [?] fruitefull Land; [?] thinke good people then, [?] will send a scourge: [?]or our wickednesse, [?]nnes, his wrath doth urge. [?]ke upon the Latter day, [?]raweth to an end: [?]t thou upon this world, [?]eft thoughtes depend, [?] not alwayes heere to live, [?]nke that thou must die: [?] being come, you must away, [?]ling of an eye. [?] by Gods owne promise made, [?]ot long endure: [?]he [sayd], is truth it selfe: [?]oth [?] else, so sure.
For he hath P[?] [?]t he will, our time more [?] [?]ake: And that heele Cut [?] [?]ees, even for his Elects [?] As by a Prophesie in France, the which was lately found: In Parchment writ, and wrapt in Lead, most close unto the ground. Within a Churches wall, which then, was pulled downe to mend: Which shew'd eare thirteene yeeres were past, the world should come to end. The first Prophesie for the yeere, 1620. The wordes were these, which then were found: within this sacred place, Great Warres shalbe in Italy, within this little space. Which is no doubt Gods handy worke, to Plague them for their pride: Which doth with foule Idolatry, his holy name deride. The Second Prophesie for the yeere 1622. There shall not be a shepheard left, to feed the silly Flocke: Then let us pray that in our hearts, he Graft a surer stocke; And that we may not be bereft, of Pasters, us to teach: But that amongst us he will send, good men his word to Preach. The third Prophesie for the yeere 1623. The wrath of God shall shew it selfe, throughout the world so wide: Which he will powre upon us all, for our incessant Pride.
Then let us pray with full consent, that he may hold his hand: And that he will not wreake his wrath, upon our sinfull Land. The fourth Prophesie for the yeere 1624[.] God shall be knowne but of a few, which is a grieuous thing: That wee so little should regard, our God, the heavenly King. Who sent his Sonne to save our Soules, from Sathan, Death, and Hell: And that we should in heavenly blisse, with him for ever dwell. The fifth Prophesie for the yeere 1625. A great man shall arise, they say, which is a thing conceald: And unto few but Godly men, the same shall be revealed. Then let us pray which little know, that wee may ready bee: For him the which in glory sits, from all eternite. The sixth Prophesie for the yeere 1626. The fourt part of the Earth shall burne, the Sunne shall darkned bee, The Moone shall powre foorth streames of blood, which fearefully will see, Unto the Soules which ill have done: but joyfull to the rest: The bad twill terryfie to death, and greatly joy the rest.

The seventh Prophesie for the yeere 1628. AN universall Earthquake shall upon this Globe remaine: The earth shall seeme to moove and stir, so shall the Oceans maine: Then if his breath can shake the same, which is the God of might. How could he plague us if he pleas'd but with his force to smite. The eight Prophesie for the yeere 1629. The Infidels true God shall know, and Trinity professe: God graunt which wee that Christians are, may never doe the lesse: If those which doe not feare the Lord, shall truest Christians turne. Then wee which know the living God, in Hels hot flame shall burne. The ninth Prophesie for the yeere 1630. The Rivers shall be dryed up, one Shepheard shall remaine, And but one Shepefold shall be left, God's glory to maintaine. Which is the latter day of all: where but one God shall raigne, Then let us labour day and night: his favour to obtaine, Great God which sit'st in heavenly Throane graunt that we sinners may, Have place in thy eternall Court, where holy Saints doe pray. Still holy, holy Lord of Lords and Spirit full of grace, God graunt that in that Kingdome wee, may have a resting place. FINIS.
