to his prophetical sayings, they are hard to be understood, because they are pointed out by the Coat of the Arms, which appertain to so many different kingdoms and persons.

That Three Ships and a Shield, That day shall keep the Field; And be the Antelope's beild.

These three ships and a shield, are in the Duke of Argyle's arms.

And even every particular of the rebellion in 1745 and 46. When pointing at it, he says,

A Chieftain unchosen, Sall choose forth-himself,  And rule the realm as his own.
