LILLY's REPRINT OF THE PROPHECIES.
41
Mother Shipton's Prophesies: with Three and XX more, all most terrible and wonderfull, Predicting strange alterations to befall this Climate of England."
This version agrees closely with Lilly's, but the latter is rather more complete, and is in a better state of preservation. The 1663 edition, however, ends with the following couplet, not given by Lilly:—
In the world old age this woman did fore-tell,
Strange things shal hap, which in our time have fell.
Mother Shipton's prophecies, therefore, were generally recognised as having been fulfilled before the middle of the XVII Century.
