2. Others have been premonished of their death by Dreams, sometimes their own, and sometimes others. The learned and judicious Amyraldus gives us this well attested relation of Lewis of Bourbon, 1That a little before his journey from Dreux, he dreamed that he had fought three successful Battles, wherein his three great Enemies were slain, but that ⟨p. 255⟩at last he himself was mortally wounded, and that after they were laid one upon another, he also was laid upon the dead Bodies. The event was remarkable; for the Mareschal of St. Andree was killed at Dreux, the Duke of Guise at Orleans, the Constable of Montmorency at St. Denis: and this was the Triumvirate which had sworn the ruin of those of the Religion, and the destruction of that Prince. At last he himself was slain at Basack, as if there had been a continuation of deaths and funerals
