The seventh word regarding three estates: namely, Jews, Christians, and Turks.

Regarding the estate of the Jews: The Jews in this year will suffer much hindrance, take damage to their goods, their houses will fall, and their poverty will be revealed. Sickness will surround them. In the summer, they will seek profit from immovable goods and suffer much hindrance in that. In the autumn, they will build and plant. In the winter, hunger and distress will grow among them, and their hope, which they will have in good friends, will come to nothing for them.

Regarding the estate of the Christians: The Christian people will travel much in this year from one city to another and seek their laws and other wisdom, and mostly in the spring, also in the summer, for so their growth, strength, and nobility will increase. In the autumn, they will seek profit, and in the winter, their hope will noticeably slip away.

Regarding the estate of Muhammad: Muhammad and his followers will be found lucky this year, for they will sell their servants and maids with profit, and will love to buy singers and jesters. But they will not be safe from sickness, and much sickness of the stomach they will feel in the spring. In the summer, they will die. But in the autumn and winter, they will attain luck in their goods.

Regarding the Turks and heathens and their estate: The estate of these people will be evil and despised in the last two quarters of the year. Fear and much damage they will suffer from their enemies, bloodshed, and war, and in many places, death. In the spring, and especially in the summer, they will practice evil and do wrong, so their strength will increase, and therefore they will practice no goodness and justice toward others. Therefore, the Christians should look wisely so that they may resist, so that they do not increase in their evil.
