CENTURY XI.
Theophilus Garencières translation
IX.
French. Meysinier, Manthi, & le tiers qui viendra, Peste & nouveau insult, enclos troubler. Aix & les lieux fureur dedans mordra, Puis les Phocens viendront leur mal doubler. English. Meysinier, Manthi, and the third that shall come, Plague and new attempt shall trouble them enclosed, The fury of it shall bite in Aix and the places there about, Then they of Phocens shall come and double their misery.
ANNOT.
These are names of particular persons that are here threatned of the Plague, as also the City of Aix Capital of Provence, and the Countrey about it, and after that the City of Marseilles named here Phocens, because they are a Colony of the old Phocenses in Greece.
XCVII.
French. Par Ville Franche, Mascon en desarroy, Dans les Fagots seront Soldats cachez, Changer de temps en prime pour le Roy, Par de Chalon & Moulins tous hachez. English. By Ville Franche, Mascon shall be put in disorder, In the Faggots shall Souldiers be hidden, The time shall change in prime for the King, By Chalon and Moulins they shall be all hewed to pieces.
ANNOT.
Ville Franche is a Town five Leagues from Lion; and Mascon another about the same distance from Ville Franche, and Chalon from Mascon, and Moulins from Chalon.
The meaning of it is this, that there shall be an attempt from Ville Franche upon Mascon, by Souldiers hidden in Faggots, that shall be cut off by the succours of those Chalons and Moulins; which like did happen in the time of the Civil Wars in France, between the King and the League, when the Towns stood one against another, but because I can find nothing of it in the History, I suspend my further judgement therein.
