The 3rd chapter will be in particular about certain persons, lands, and cities. The first word is about the state of the clergy and the secular. And first about the clergy: The priest will seek wisdom and art of the law, and his will will be to have servants and to bar places. Such a state he will also have in the summer. In autumn, his goods will increase and become weak; likewise in winter. The gathering of cardinals, legates, doctors of law, priests, and generally all clergy will be happy in the spring, and in summer they will be hindered in their works. In autumn, they will work the earth and take profit from it. In winter, they will be distressed. About lords and princes: The state of kings and princes will be inclined toward death in the spring and in summer, and in autumn, happy to gain goods. In winter, they will fall into enmity.

The second word is about the state of certain kingdoms and lands. The state of the land of Meissen: it will be good in the beginning of this year, and they will seek profit from their joys. In summer and autumn, many will die. In winter, they will suffer sickness.
