Final part of the Prophecy in Lignum Vitae (1595) p.311
Petrus Romanus
The longest and final motto reads:
In the original Latin:
In pſsecutione extrema S.R.E. ſedebit Petrus Romanus,
qui paſcet oues in multis tribulationibus:
quibus tranſactis ciuitas ſepticollis diruetur,
& Iudex tremẽdus iudicabit populum ſuum.
Finis.
This is usually translated into English as:
"During extreme persecution of the College of Cardinals (Sancta Romana Ecclesia, S.R.E.) the seat will be occupied by Peter the Roman,
who feed his sheep in multiple tribulations:
and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed,
and the tremendous judge will judge his people.
The End."
