A PRCPHtCY coft^kike AMERICA;
T",ETWEEN twenty and thirty years ago flou
.{) rifhed in Holland* a famous Physician named
Ludeman; this gentleman was every where admired,
as a prodigy of human nature ; his cures were very
numerous and almost miraculous : Mankind are
fubje& to we^krefs in all ages and countries Mr*
Luderr^n'3 foible was an extreme addition to the
fluey of J idicial Astrology ; we al) know that many
great meh were led away by this before him, not to
make a long recapitulation of instances, how remark
able arc not these recorded of Dryden i Our Do&or
I~s left cmy writings, in which his favorite study
every where predominates and becomes cohfpicuous,
in the utterance of p-edi^ions. these being difrerard
rd and confideed as the reveries of a misguided Phi
: fopher have long laid unmolested ; the people of
Holland have however lately been induced to pay
feme regard to the following remarkable one, wrote
by this geot'cmin in the year 1757 the second of
the last war between Great-Britain and France*
The Prophecv is as follows:
Hail ! thou perfect and thinly peopled quarter cf
burflobe. I congratulate you in behalf of my friends
the planets, through the influence of their course you
fli)l remain as you are your former happinef (while
you yet continued buried in the gulph of oblivion)
was greater then your present felicity ; free )&i
began to be known. the mod distant nations havt vi
sited you, and the sweet air you refpired,has invited
yrur neighbours , the low date of your population
joined to the extent cf your immense possessions have
caused Grangers from the ends of the earth to visit
you the glorious enjoyment of your advantageous
fitoation was no sooner known, than you became a
bridethe w flied forp^^ffionof whom railed theemu-
Jation of most Monarchs into controversy and ftrife;
the source of deffention now rending the chriftian
e mmunities originates in you ; the present desolati
on behold you as&he incendiary who kindled the
flame of contention ; most probably you will become
the accommodation of their feuds.
Your Independence, O lovely America ! will be
a steady counterbalance to these fierce commotions ;
this is a triumph the glory of which is reserved for
you alone.
My friends, the planets, who are the nent patrons
of your dominion appear attentive to the continu
ance cf your prosperity ; naturally no misfortunes
impend on your head the envy of avaricious nati
ons only excepted; regard not these. you will rather
live to fee them ruined and broken, than to experience
a period in which they can be detrimental to you.
Always re£e& on this memorable prophesy of
Ludefnan, and in the end you will have reason to
hold his remembrance in esteem.
On this account my friends, I have judged it ne
cessary to address the four quarters of the globe, let
them make such use of my covered admonitions, as
they may think mod conducive to their prosperity,
The original from which this paper is taken writ,
tan in the Netherlandish language, is very lately ar
rived from Holland, and in the possession of a gentle
man in this Rate. ±
