From this Spirit of Prophecy, he fore-saw the Changes and Miseries of England in Church and State; for having in one of his Books, (called De Prim, Eccl. Brit.) given a large account of the Destruction of the Church and State of the Britons, by the Saxons, about 550 Years after Christ: He gives this among other Reasons, why he insisted so largely upon it; That he fore-saw, that a like Judgment was yet behind, if timely Repentance and Reformation did not prevent it: And he would often Mourn upon the Fore-sight of this, long before it came.

From this Spirit he gave Mournful Intimations of the Death of our late Sovereign, Charles the First; of whom he would be often speaking with Fear and Trembling, even when the King had the greatest Success: And would therefore constantly pray, and gave all advice possible, to prevent any such thing.

From this Spirit he fore-saw his own Poverty in worldly things; and this he would often speak of, with admiration to the Hearers, when he was in his greatest Prosperity; which the Event did most certainly verify.
