[?] Have their opinions past Concerning of this sinfull age, How long the world will last. And thus in judgement they agree, The world will soone disolved be Sweet England now repent, Doomsday is neere at hand. At Beldam Shipton prophesie, Though many folkes do scoffe, And eke also at Myrlins bookes Some men will jeere and laugh, Yet divers things are come to passe, The which by them forespoken was Sweet England now repent Doomsday is neere at hand Hete beginneth the prophesie of Elia- nour Bourke an Irish woman which lived in Corke from the yeere 1640. till 1648. Nell Bourk an I[rish] woman she Proviz'd of five yeeres warres, Which should in that same kindom be, With blood-shed wounds and skars, And how the Irish men by might Should keep the English from their rlght. All these are tokens that Doomsday is neere at hand. Also she said at five yeers end That Ireland should be sold, Unto a savage nation which, Are worse a thousandfold, Then either Caniball, Turk, or Jew, The which will make all England rue, Sweet England now repent Doomsday is ncer at hand. With cruell usage Irish men shall be so sorely wearied Th[?]
[?] That English men might rule againe, All these are tokens that Doomssday is neere at hand. And after these five years are past, The bloody wars shall cease Ten Pestilence and Famine both Shall in Ireland increase Where women shal through want of meat Their own deere sucking infants eate Al these are tokens that, Doomsday is neere at hand. Then shall the Sun eclipsed be The Moon shall give no light, The stars shall fall, and not be seene: Againe in peoples sight. And all that doth alive remaine, Shall in a minutes space be slaine. Sweete England now repent Doomsday is neere at hand. This endeth Nell Bourks prophesie Here beginneth another, concern- ing the great con[j]unction which will happen February the 16. 1643. betweene Saturn and Jupiter. Master John Booker doth make knowne In his Prognostication, How that in England's like to be, a suddaine alteration However it chance be it wrong or right The armies both are bent to fight, Sweet England now repent etc. The sixteenth day of Februarie, There will a conjunction bee The Planites in the firmaments, Doth seeme to disagree, Both Saturne and great Jupiter Which [?]
[?]ect, Yet some illitterate pepeople doth, Their learned lines reject: They thinke the time will never come The which is calldd the way of doome Sweet England now repent etc. If mens words may not be beleev'd, I briefly will unfold, the words which Jesus Christ our Lord To his Disciples tould, Concerning of the latter day: Therefore give eare to what I say These tokens doth foretell Doomsday is neere at hand. Christ said before the latter day Rumors of wars shall be, And nations against nations rise Of both high and low degree, With famine plagues and pestilence The Lord would send for mans offence All these are tokens that Doomsday is neere at hand. Now let each man consider well The trubels of this land, And how the Lord hath smitten us With his afflecting hand, And then looke back and well behould. the words which Christ our Lord hath tould Then we may well say Domesday is neere at hand,
