Chapter LXXIII: French
Le temps present avecque le passé,
Sera jugé par grand _Jovialiste_,
Le Monde tard de luy sera lassé,
Et desloial par le Clergé juriste.
English.
The time present, together with the past,
Shall be judged by a great _Jovialiste_,
The World shall at last be weary of him,
And he shall be thought unfaithful by the Canon-Law Clergy.
ANNOT.
This Prophecy concerneth meerly _Francis Rabelais_, who was the greatest _Jovialist_, that is, Merry-man that ever was, and did so lash and censure the abuses of every profession, and chiefly of the Clergy, that to this very day he goeth among them for an Atheist, and a Prophaner of Sacred and Civil things.
