ANCIENT PROPHECY.


The author of "_The Blasynge of Armes_,"[7] at the end of Dame Julian
Berners's celebrated Treatise on Hawking, Hunting, and Fishing, has
informed us that "Tharmes of the Kynge of Fraunce were certaynly sent
by an angel from heven, that is to saye, thre floures in manere of
swerdes in a feld of azure, the whyche certer armes were given to the
forsayd Kynge of Fraunce in sygne of everlastynge trowble, and that he
and his successours alway with batayle and swerdes sholde be
punysshyd."


[7] This book was printed at St. Albans in the year 1486, and
afterwards reprinted by Wynkyn de Worde, in 1496.
