Notes: The pseudonymous author is variously described as a William or Robert Nixon, flourishing on the reign of Henry VII or in that of James I; this edition adds a life describing the prophet as Robert, b. 1467 (p. [1]-10) & "The original predictions of Robert Nixon ... In doggrel verse" (p. [11]-21) to a reprint of Oldmixon's "The Cheshire prophecy" (1st ed., 1713) with "The Life of Nixon" by "W.E.", both describing the prophet as Robert, a servant of the Cholmondely family under James II. In the latter lives, his prophecy is supposed to have been fulfilled in the reign of James II (with a glance ahead to the coming of George I).
