The Testament of Eadgyth of York:
(Lines revealed in AD 1070)In the last daysTo the tail of the peacockHe will come:The spider's spawn, the Christ-bearerThe Dove.And the Dove will fly east,Wings strong, heart stout, mind clear.God's Engines will burn our oceanAnd flame across the lands of spices.All this I have witnessedI and my mothers.Send the Dove west! O, send him west!(Lines revealed in AD 1481)
The Dragon stirs from his eastern throne,Walks west.The Feathered Serpent, plague-hardened,Flies over ocean sea,Flies east.Serpent and Dragon, the mortal duelAnd Serpent feasts on holy flesh.All this I have witnessedI and my mothers.Send the Dove west! O, send him west!The 'Indendium Dei' cryptogram:(Source: the 'Engines of God' Codex of Aethelmaer of Malmesbury,c. AD 1000)
