Verse
.
1
AFTER
this
,
the
Prophet
saw
a
vision
,
concerning
the
beginning
,
continuance
,
&
fall
of
th'
Empire
and
supremacie
of
Rome
.
And
this
vision
was
shewed
him
in
the
dayes
of
Artaxerxes
King
of
Persia
,
about
400.
yeares
before
the
first
stone
of
her
Empire
was
laide
.
Iu.
Cesar
.
And
behold
,
there
arose
from
the
Sea
an
Eagle
.
And
there
arose
among
the
Nations
,
the
fierce
and
fearefull
Kingdome
and
Empire
of
Rome
,
seene
in
vision
by
the
Prophet
Daniel
,
some
few
yeares
before
.
Which
had
12.
feathered
winges
.
Wherein
should
arise
and
reigne
12.
Emperors
,
which
should
spred
their
power
like
winges
ouer
all
the
earth
,
in
great
feare
sitting
on
it
.
And
it
seemed
good
vnto
the
Prophet
to
touch
by
an
intellection
these
12.
only
,
both
for
they
are
a
Iewrye
sufficient
to
argue
the
whole
suite
of
Emperors
which
did
arise
&
raigne
in
her
:
as
also
because
they
only
were
natiue
Romans
,
descended
of
the
Iulij
,
Seruij
,
Saluij
,
Flauij
,
&c.
vnlike
therein
vnto
the
rest
,
which
were
all
(
or
almost
all
)
like
changeable
stuffe
of
diuers
colours
,
so
of
diuers
Nations
.
Their
rising
,
continuance
,
and
end
,
is
toucht
in
their
proper
place
.
And
three
heads
.
Her
three
heads
are
three
Kingdomes
,
fore-ordained
to
vpholde
and
maintaine
the
power
of
her
pride
,
when
all
her
winges
and
feathers
should
faile
her
.
And
are
reserued
to
execute
her
last
will
,
and
finishe
her
funerals
,
as
shal
be
hereafter
more
at
full
declared
.
Verse
.
2
And
I
saw
,
and
beholde
,
she
spread
her
winges
ouer
all
the
earth
,
&
all
the
winds
of
the
ayre
gathered
themselues
and
blew
on
her
.
By
the
windes
,
are
meant
her
prosperous
and
happie
successe
in
all
her
proceedings
.
And
of
necessitie
it
must
goe
well
with
her
,
whom
euery
winde
doth
blowe
to
good
.
Witnes
the
limits
of
her
territories
,
from
Ganges
to
Gades
,
and
from
the
Scythian
Sea
vnto
the
Cape
of
Hope
:
as
testifieth
one
of
her
own
,
which
saith
:
that
she
extended
her
tents
,
to
the
borders
of
the
Ocean
,
and
the
feare
of
her
name
vnto
the
heauens
.
Verse
.
3
And
I
saw
,
that
out
of
her
fethers
grew
vp
other
contrarie
fethers
,
but
they
became
litle
fethers
and
small
.
And
the
Prophet
saw
,
that
among
the
Princes
and
gouernors
which
ruled
in
her
,
there
arose
and
grew
vp
certain
Kings
,
which
were
contrary
vnto
her
,
marking
such
as
intended
to
roote
vp
the
crown
and
dignitie
of
her
Empire
,
to
plant
themselues
therin
,
&
their
house
for
euer
.
But
their
thoughts
preuailed
not
,
for
as
the
verse
concludeth
,
their
power
waned
,
and
they
perished
like
the
rest
:
what
those
contrary
Kings
were
;
their
number
,
names
,
attempts
and
end
,
shal
be
deliuered
in
their
place
.
Verse
.
4
But
her
heads
rested
,
and
the
head
in
the
midst
was
greater
than
th'
other
heads
,
yet
rested
it
with
them
.
But
the
three
kingdomes
fore-apointed
t'
accomplish
&
finish
the
wickednes
of
this
great
Citie
,
were
quiet
and
at
rest
,
as
not
yet
(
during
the
reigne
of
her
fethers
)
conceaued
and
brought
forth
.
And
the
Prophet
obserued
that
th'
oue
of
those
Kings
was
greater
in
power
then
both
his
fellowes
,
yet
rested
it
with
them
.
Concerning
these
three
Kings
,
their
names
,
their
greatnes
,
and
al
that
appertaineth
,
shal
be
spoken
in
due
place
.
Verse
.
5
Then
I
saw
,
and
behold
,
the
Eagle
flew
with
her
fethers
,
and
reigned
vpon
earth
and
ouer
them
that
dwelt
therin
.
Verse
.
6
And
I
saw
that
all
things
vnder
heauen
were
subiect
vnto
her
,
and
no
man
spake
against
her
,
no
not
one
creature
vpon
earth
.
And
the
Prophet
beheld
,
that
this
proud
citie
flew
with
her
Emperors
and
Legions
ouer
all
her
neighbors
,
subiecting
all
the
dwellers
on
earth
vnder
her
,
in
such
sort
,
as
there
was
not
a
Nation
or
People
to
be
found
vnder
heauen
,
that
was
not
either
rooted
out
by
her
,
or
inforced
to
receiue
their
Gouernors
from
her
.
Verse
.
7
And
I
saw
that
the
Eagle
stood
vp
vpon
her
clawes
,
and
spake
to
her
feathers
saying
:
Verse
.
8
Watch
not
altogether
,
sleep
euery
one
in
his
own
place
,
and
watch
by
course
.
Verse
.
9
But
let
the
heads
be
preserued
for
the
last
.
And
the
Prophet
obserued
,
that
this
powerful
Citie
,
in
the
daies
wherein
(
ouergorged
with
pride
)
she
stood
vpon
terms
of
her
counsell
and
armes
,
tooke
such
order
(
for
in
euill
she
was
very
methodicall
)
that
her
Kings
and
Kaysers
,
should
neither
sleep
nor
watch
,
that
is
neither
perish
nor
rule
all
at
once
,
but
rise
in
a
successiue
course
,
as
in
the
verses
following
is
manifested
.
And
she
further
commanded
that
the
three
last
Kingdomes
,
ordained
to
conclude
the
number
of
her
sinnes
,
should
take
their
ease
and
not
awake
,
till
their
time
appointed
.
Verse
.
10
Neuerthelesse
,
I
sawe
that
the
voice
went
not
out
of
her
heads
but
from
the
middest
of
her
bodye
.
As
hee
that
vndertakes
a
dangerous
leape
doth
first
retire
,
the
better
to
aduance
his
strength
:
so
to
bound
fairlye
ouer
the
dacke
vnderstanding
of
these
words
,
we
must
of
necessitie
looke
backe
&
carry
before
vs
the
true
birth
and
perfect
nature
of
this
Empire
:
which
the
Prophet
Daniel
in
his
vision
designeth
vnder
the
forme
of
a
ten-horned
beast
,
signifying
thereby
,
that
it
should
be
a
power
vpheld
by
a
succession
of
many
Kinges
:
for
the
hornes
betoken
Kings
,
and
the
number
of
10.
comprehends
all
,
be
they
neuer
so
many
,
as
all
numbers
are
contained
vnder
10.
or
made
of
their
reduplication
be
they
neuer
so
infinit
.
And
addeth
further
,
that
his
teeth
were
of
iron
,
his
nails
of
brasse
,
inferring
therby
,
the
vnresistable
force
of
his
legions
and
Leaders
.
And
proceding
saith
,
that
there
arose
amongst
his
Kings
,
one
of
an
exceeding
strange
nature
,
signifying
by
that
one
,
a
strange
race
and
succession
of
Princes
,
far
differing
in
shape
and
forme
of
regiment
from
al
their
predecessors
,
obtaining
dominion
not
by
iron
teeth
and
brasen
nails
,
as
did
th'
Emperors
which
arose
before
them
,
but
by
disceit
and
by
a
mouth
which
spake
presumptuous
things
against
the
most
High
,
blaspheming
his
name
,
his
Tabernacle
,
&
them
that
dwel
in
heauen
,
who
by
a
hidden
&
vnknown
force
,
should
subdue
the
third
part
of
the
world
,
meaning
,
al
Europe
with
her
Princes
.
By
which
deliniation
,
it
is
euident
,
that
the
holy-Ghost
accounteth
the
chalenged
prerogatiue
&
supremacie
of
Rome
,
all
one
power
,
all
one
Empire
,
whether
it
obtaine
the
spoile
by
force
,
or
by
fraud
,
that
is
,
by
power
of
Emperors
,
or
crast
of
Popes
,
Cha.
7.24
who
should
be
far
vnlike
them
,
as
Daniel
himselfe
saith
:
And
he
shall
be
vnlike
to
the
first
.
Meaning
in
forme
of
claiming
,
obteining
&
maintaining
Iurisdiction
,
not
in
pride
,
purpose
and
determination
.
So
as
we
may
beholde
such
an
vnlikely
likenes
betweene
them
,
as
was
betweene
the
two
Sisters
,
of
whome
it
is
said
,
—
facies
non
omnibus
vna
,
nec
diuersa
tamen
,
qualem
decet
esse
Sororum
.
And
thus
much
concerning
the
Prophet
Daniels
description
of
the
Empire
of
Rome
:
whence
we
note
,
that
the
same
power
which
Daniel
there
describeth
by
a
beast
with
horns
,
teeth
and
nails
:
our
Prophet
here
doth
deliniate
by
an
Eagle
,
with
wings
,
fethers
and
heads
:
whose
imperiall
winges
after
they
were
so
clipt
,
as
she
could
no
longer
fly
ouer
all
in
her
proper
colours
,
and
stile
of
Roma
triomfante
:
deuised
how
by
disceit
she
might
vphold
her
throne
(
for
to
be
high
was
all
her
care
)
and
found
nothing
so
fit
as
to
disguise
her selfe
,
&
chalenge
prelation
vnder
the
maske
of
Roma
la
Santa
.
And
this
is
it
which
this
Verse
teacheth
,
that
when
the
sinfull
Citie
saw
her
feathers
so
pluckt
,
as
the
feare
of
her
armes
and
forces
,
might
no
longer
flye
into
al
kingdoms
,
commanding
them
vnder
the
paine
of
Imperium
Romanum
:
Lying
by
meanes
of
this
distres
,
verye
weake
and
in
danger
of
falling
,
her
counsell
and
bodie
politique
,
deuised
by
lyes
and
witch-crafte
(
wherein
was
all
her
pleasure
from
her
youth
)
to
restore
the
supremacye
and
honor
of
her
name
,
vnder
the
colour
of
Ecclesia
Dei
.
Wherin
this
race
of
presumptuous
horns
excelled
the
sinne
of
all
the
hornes
that
foretime
ruled
in
her
,
for
they
,
as
in
whom
Satan
dwelt
but
literally
,
did
but
in
open
hostilitie
fight
against
the
highest
,
setting
before
him
a
god
made
of
a
wicked
man
,
whose
fathers
bloud
cryeth
out
for
vengeance
night
and
daye
,
whose
bedfellow
was
&
Soror
&
coniux
,
and
whose
wife
was
id
quod
dicere
nolo
.
But
this
race
of
presumptuous
and
deceitfull
Kinges
,
as
in
whome
Satan
dwelleth
spirituallye
,
in
a
hidden
treasure
of
blasphemy
,
sets
vp
the
Highest
against
himselfe
,
and
vnder
the
visar
of
the
Church
,
and
the
name
of
God
,
blasphemeth
his
Sanctuary
,
and
the
Lord
thereof
.
No
meruaile
then
,
tho
she
and
Syon
be
at
ods
,
for
as
golde
can
bodye
it selfe
with
any
mettall
liquifiable
,
latten
excepted
,
which
notwithstanding
in
outward
face
and
shew
of
all
mettals
is
most
like
vnto
it
:
so
,
no
Church
is
more
capitall
enemie
to
the
true
Church
,
then
shee
,
who
in
outward
gesture
,
grace
and
countenance
,
is
likest
like
the
chast
and
virgin
spouse
,
and
is
indeed
a
whore
.
Verse
.
11
Then
I
numbred
her
contrary
fethers
,
and
behold
they
were
eight
of
them
.
In
the
third
verse
of
this
Chapter
,
the
Prophet
made
mention
of
these
contrary
fethers
,
which
in
their
thoughts
conspirde
to
raise
their
house
with
the
ruins
of
Rome
.
And
heere
proceedeth
more
perticularly
to
declare
their
number
,
foretelling
there
should
be
eight
of
them
,
whom
we
will
heere
call
out
by
name
that
if
occasion
serue
,
wee
maye
the
better
knowe
them
.
The
first
were
Mestgothes
,
vnder
the
leading
of
Alaricus
.
The
second
Hunns
,
whose
King
was
Attalas
.
The
third
Vandals
,
their
head
,
Genserick
.
The
fourth
Odoacer
.
The
fift
East-gothes
,
their
chiefe
,
Theodorick
.
The
sixt
Totilas
,
bred
in
Spaine
,
with
such
followers
as
for
those
times
that
Country
yelded
.
The
seuenth
Longobards
,
with
their
guid
Alboinus
.
The
eight
and
last
,
a
home
conspiracie
,
more
to
be
fear'd
(
as
all
included
diseases
are
most
dangerous
)
then
all
the
rest
.
And
altho
many
others
besides
these
,
as
Radagaise
,
the
Alani
now
called
Almans
,
the
Burgonians
conducted
by
Gundibald
,
the
Vngers
,
Saracens
,
&c.
were
all
in
their
time
as
costly
enemies
to
the
Empire
as
some
of
these
,
yet
none
did
humble
the
great
Citie
,
the
mother
of
wickednes
but
these
eight
only
.
And
therefore
the
rest
may
not
be
allowed
to
sit
at
this
table
,
but
may
serue
to
iustifie
the
iudgement
of
the
Beast
,
which
was
thus
wounded
againe
and
stricken
of
all
,
as
she
had
wounded
and
stricken
all
.
And
if
in
reading
doubt
arise
,
how
these
eight
fethers
may
be
contrary
to
the
Eagle
,
that
is
,
resisters
of
her
power
and
dominion
,
and
yet
be
fethers
of
the
Eagle
,
that
is
,
mainteiners
of
the
same
:
The
answer
is
,
that
they
were
aduersaries
and
contrary
vnto
her
,
as
she
stood
vpon
termes
of
Imperium
orbis
terrae
:
but
after
she
had
changed
her
coppie
,
and
claimed
supremacie
vnder
the
cloake
of
Mater
Ecclesia
,
they
were
for
the
most
mainteiners
of
her
pride
,
and
became
drunke
also
with
her
worship
,
as
other
Kings
and
Princes
of
th'
earth
.
And
thus
much
for
their
number
,
and
names
,
their
seuerall
attempts
,
their
prosperities
and
ende
,
shal
be
presented
in
their
place
.
Verse
.
12
After
this
I
saw
,
and
beholde
vpon
the
right
side
there
arose
one
fether
,
and
raigned
ouer
all
the
earth
.
This
fether
here
described
is
the
first
of
the
twelue
,
namely
Iulius
Caesar
,
who
(
like
an
ill
interpreter
)
translated
Senatum
Populumque
Romanum
,
into
Caesarem
Augustum
.
Whose
Image
,
which
in
this
verse
is
so
liuely
resembled
,
consisteth
of
2.
features
:
the
first
,
sheweth
the
manner
of
his
rising
,
in
these
words
.
And
behold
,
vpon
the
right
side
there
arose
one
feather
.
Which
serue
in
stead
of
art
,
to
discouer
the
very
true
lines
,
and
cast
of
his
happines
.
For
the
house
of
Cornelij
was
as
eloquent
as
he
,
and
Marius
doubtles
as
good
a
leader
as
he
,
and
Catilin
as
nobly
borne
as
he
,
and
all
these
arose
t'
inuade
the
common-wealth
,
and
to
translate
it
into
a
Kingdome
as
well
as
he
,
but
none
of
them
rose
on
the
right
side
but
he
.
And
thus
much
for
the
manner
of
this
speech
;
so
we
take
this
with-all
,
that
these
words
(
right
side
)
in
their
naturall
and
proper
intent
,
do
signifie
(
as
through
all
this
Chapter
)
the
surest
and
strongest
side
.
The
second
feature
in
this
resemblance
to
be
obserued
,
is
his
power
,
set
forth
in
these
words
.
And
he
reigned
ouer
all
the
earth
.
For
after
he
had
subdued
France
,
broken
the
heart
of
Germany
,
made
his
name
knowen
to
England
,
be
returned
into
Italie
,
ouerthrew
the
great
Protector
of
the
libertie
Sr.
Pompey
and
his
host
,
in
the
fields
of
Pharsalie
.
And
like
the
fire
of
heauen
(
as
one
of
her
Pocts
saith
)
with
such
celeritie
drew

stricken
faction

in
Africa

in

yeares
space
he
brought
to
pas

that
nether

durst
open

which
done

he
ascended
into

Lord

triumphing
in
the
spoiles
of
the
world

the
blood
of
his
Country
.
And
knowing
that
the
name
of
a
King
(
which
he
so
much
affected
)
was
odious
to
the
quality

nature
of

inuaded
the

vnder
the

Dictator

(
for

was
wise
aboue
all

some
hope
of
recouering
their

indeed
establishing

from
which

And
when

the

But
this
new-borne
prosperitie
(
as
is
the
nature
of
all
this

lasted
but
a

;
for
in

he
was
slaine
in
the
Senat

by

of

the

both
in
his

(
so
dangerous

the

)
and
other
mens
opinions
,
were
thought
his
chiefest
frendes
.
And
thus
was
this

after

So
the

stoode
vp

reigned
,
and
it
continued
a

time
,
but
after
it
had
reigned
his
end
also
came
,
and
as
the
first
it
appeered
no

Next
after
him
arose
Octauius
,
the

of
Iulius

otherwise

triumphed

And
this

and
then

But
after
it
had
reigned
,
his

also
came
,
and

he
discended

Then
I
looked

behold
in

the
fethers
that
followed
stood
vp
on
the
right
side
,
that
they
might
rule
also
,
&
some
of
them
ruled
,
but
within
a
while
they
appeered
no
more
.
And
the
Prophet
obserued
and
saw
(
after
the
twelue
were
descended
)
the
Emperors
that
followed
to
rise
,
that
they
might
rule
also
;
and
as
many
of
them
as
rose
on
the
right
side
,
that
is
:
in
the
strength
and
power
of
the
twelue
,
did
in
their
place
(
according
to
the
proclamation
published
in
the
eight
verse
)
spred
their
winges
and
reigne
also
,
as
-

And
the
rest
,
to
the
third
Valentinian

In
whose
daies
,
the
power
of
the
Eagle
was
so
wounded
,
by
th'
incursion
and
saccage
of
the
two
first

fethers
,
that
she
could
neuer
after
recure
her selfe
again

lay
sicke

kept

some
ten
generations
,
which
also
lasted

Momillus

descended

was
left
of

So
that
all
the
fethers
which
the
Prophet
beheld
in
processe
of
time
to
follow
the
12.
and
in
their
strength
,
their
sinne
and
crueltie
,
to
defile
the
earth
:
namely
from
Domitian
,
to
the
third
Valentinian
,
were
50.
and
3.
Kings
.
All
which
in
a
while
(
as
this
verse
concludeth
)
vanished
like
the
12.

appeared
no
more

Verse

22
After
this
I
looked
,
and
beholde
,
the
twelue
fethers
appeered
no
more
.
Vnder
the
12.
winges
or
fethers
(
for
both
betoken
one
)
are
comprehended
by
an
intellection
(
as
in
the
first
verse
)
all
,
which
in
the
strength
of
the
twelue
followed
,
from
Domitian
to
the
third
Valentinian
,
who
perished
in
the
yeare
455.
after
he
had
reigned
30.
and
liued
5.
more
.
And
thus
according
to
promise
made
in
the
first
verse
,
is
presented
a
tragicall
succession
of
all
the
Eagles
winges
,
from
her
first
fether
Iul.
Caesar
,
in
whome
the
power
of
her
pride
began
,
to
the
third
Valentinian
,
with
whome
it
ended
:
who
after
they
had
shewed
themselues
,
and
trodden
down
the
earth
500.
&
30.
yeares
,
they
departed
for
euer
the
stage
of
this
world
,
and
all
their
pompe
and
glorie
descended
,
and
appeered
no
more
.
And
here
my
pen
like
to
the
earth
which
being
deliuered
from
her
oppressors
,
did
thirst
to
be
refreshed
:
so
hauing
ouercome
this
part
of
her
taske
,
did
think
to
and
some
ease
,
but
in
their
hopes
they
are
both
deceiued
,
for
after
the
Eagles
fethers
decended
,
the
sorrowes
of
the
earth
increased
more
and
more
,
and
ther
arose
(
as
seldome
comes
the
better
)
a
race
of
Sodomiticall
,
and
vnnaturall
Kings
,
who
vnder
the
visar
of
Successors
to
Peter
,
and
vicars
to
the
Lamb
,
so
far
excelled
the
whordomes
of
their
fathers
the
Emperors
(
whose
Vicars
and
Successors
indeed
they
are
)
that
they
inforced
the
Highest
,
to
poure
his
determined
vengeance
,
vpon
the
children
of
men
.
Who
according
to
the
iudgement
fore-denounced
by
his
seruant
Iohn
,
Reuel.
16.
Poured
out
his
wrath
vpon
the
Sea
,
that
it
became
like
to
the
blood
of
the
dead
:
that
is
to
say
,
vpon
the
great
Citie
and
Empres
of
the
world
,
by
scourge
after
scourge
(
as
how
often
and
greuous
in
the
vew
of
her
contrary
fethers
may
appeere
)
so
at
the
the
full
auenging
himselfe
,
that
there
was
not
a
drop
of
Roman
blood
to
be
founde
on
earth
,
these
many
hundreth
yeares
.
And
as
the
defection
and
vncleannes
was
generall
,
so
was
the
punishment
:
for
(
as
the
Apostle
in
the
same
chapter
prophesieth
)
The
wrath
of
the
highest
,
Reuel.
16
was
poured
out
vpon
the
riuers
and
fountaines
likewise
,
and
they
were
turned
into
blood
also
,
that
is
:
vpon
all
People
and
Nations
whatsoeuer
,
in
such
sort
,
as
ther
is
not
a
kingdome
this
day
on
earth
to
be
found
,
that
hath
not
bin
(
since
the
rising
of
the
beast
)
cut
downe
by
sword
,
and
yeelded
her
stock
to
strange
griffes
,
as
by
the
bloody
Registers
of
euery
perticular
Nation
doth
so
cleerly
appeere
,
as
if
it
were
written
with
the
beames
of
the
Sunne
.
And
as
the
dayes
were
euill
aboue
measure
,
so
they
exceeded
in
darknes
&
ignorance
:
that
my
pen
hath
no
lesse
trouble
,
to
be
deliuered
of
the
rest
of
her
labor
,
then
had
the
then-dwellers
on-earth
,
to
indure
the
paines
of
their
oppression
and
trauell
:
but
to
take
into
my
way
againe
,
the
Prophet
addeth
.
Nor
the
two
winges

Figuring
by
the
two
winges
,
the
two
first
contrary
fethers
,
Alaricus

and
Attalas
.
The
first
arose
in
the
19.
of
Honorius
,
predecessor
to
the
third
Valentinian
:
And
was
the
first
that
slewe
the
great
Citie
,
the
murtherers
of
all
the
world
,
measuring
her
by
famin
,
sworde
,
and
fire
:
according
to
the
square
whereby
shee
had
iudged
others
almost
12.
hundreth
yeares
.
Which
wofull
end
(
or
rather
beginning
of
her
wofull
end
)
made
a
certaine
antient
friend
of
hers

bewailing
the
night
wherein
shee
was
smitten

had

proceeded
to

spoiling

burning
her
principall

Latium

Campania
,
Apulia

where
raging
in
his
highest
thoughtes
,
deuising
now
to
spred
his
glory
ouer
all
,
was
by
suddeine
death
blowen
away
,
and
his
place
appeered
no
more
.
Th'
other
arose
in

Mantua

Cremona

Brixia
,
Concordia

with
all
the

:
but
by
the
cunning
dealing
of
the
deceitfull
King
,
whose
name
was
then
Pope
Leo
,
was
intreated
to
sel
the
great
Citie
,
and
to
depart
Italie
,
which
he
left
as
a
wast
,
stinking
in
her
fierie
ruins
,
&
so
repassing
the
Danube
,
returned
into
his
Scythia
againe
:
where
the
yeare
following
in

of
his
fulnes
,
was
in
a
night
found
strangled
in
his
owne
blood
,
whereinto
he
was
disolued
,
by
the
intemperate
vse
of
a
wedding
feast
,
and
a
new

And
thus
perished
this

Mundzuccus
,
the
scourge
of
God

terror
of

he
called
himselfe

and
which
not

And
ther
was
no
more
vpon
the

but
two
heads
that
rested
and
six
winges
.
And
ther
were
no
more
triumphing

daineth
not

So
as
the
Prophet
well
concludeth
,
ther
was
no
more
to
be
found
vpon
the
Eagles

,
but
these
two

of

Verse
.

Then
saw
I
also
,
the
two
winges
deuided
them-selues
from
the
six
,
and
remained
vnder
the
head
that
was
vpon
the
right
side
,
but
the
foure
continued
in
their
place
.
And
the
Prophet
saw
,
that
two
of
the
six
deuided
them-selues
in
counsell
&
manner
of
proceeding
,
from
th'
other
foure
:
for
wheras
the
four
sought
to
be
Lords
of
Rome
in
fee
,
resoluing
in
their
thoughts
,
t'
extinguish
the
name
and
maiestie
of
her
Empire
for
euer
,
these
2.
were
of
an
other
minde
,
for
they
agreed
to
remaine
vnder
the
countenance
and
fauour
of
the
Eagles
right
head
,
contented
to
weare
a
crowne
tho
with
leaue
of
it
:
meaning
by
the
right
head
th'
east
Empire
,
so
called
,
in
regard
it
was
far
stronger
in
power
then
the
west
:
whose
broad-spreading
honor
(
as
in
the
verse
fore-going
)
was
now
become
a
starueling
,
onlie
his
name
and
appellation
continued
some
ten
successions
,
viz.
-
1
Valentinian
.
-
2
Maximus
.
-
3
Auitus
.
-
4
Maiorianus
.
-

-
7
Olybrius
.
-
8
Glycerius
.
-
9
Iulius
Nepos
.
-
10
Momyllus
.
Which
all
also
vanished
(
as
before
is
toucht
)
in
20.
yeares
.
And
the
Eagles
pompe
which
was
at
full
in
Augustus
,
was
enterred
with
Augustulus
(
for
so
was
Momyllus
called
)
and
with
him
descended
the
name
and
title
of
Imperium
Romanum
for
euer
.
And
the
two
winges
thus
deuided
in
pollicie
from
the
foure
,
were
Genserick
and
Theodorick
.
Of
which
the
first
,
trained
into
Italie
by
treason
of
the
Empres
,
entred
Rome
43.
yeares
after
she
had
bin
humbled
by
the
Gothes
,
and
led
into
captiuitie
all
her
treasor
,
and
(
as
is
the
fatall
reward
of
such
offenders
(
the
traitres
also
her-selfe
.
And
after
14.
daies
thus
loaden
,
departed
into
his
Africa
againe
:
wher-ouer
he
reigned
in
peace
and
pleasure
51.
yeares
.
Th'
other
,
hauing
obtained
of
th'
East-head
the
scepter
of
Italie
,
according
to
his
patent
proceeded
,
and
got
it
by
Conquest
from
Odoacer
.
But
after
he
had
reigned
therouer
30.
yeares
,
descended
also
,
leauing
his
fame
and
kingdome
to
his
posteritie
,
hauing
fullfild
his
pleasures
two
and
fortie
more
.
But
this
counsell
pleased
not
th'
other
4.
for
as
the
verse
concludeth
,
they
remained
in
other
thoughts
:
drifting
in
their
place
to
rise
and
reigne
,
without
leaue
or
licence
of
any
.
Verse
.
25
So
I
looked
,
and
beholde
,
the
vnder-winges
thought
to
set
vp
them-selues
,
and
to
haue
the
rule
.
And
as
the
Prophet
beheld
the
foure
contrary
fethers
which
were
left
,
he
saw
how
they
also
stroue
in
their
hearts
to
establish
them-selues
,
but
like
a
dreame
their
purpose
vanished
,
in
the
next
immediate
verses
following
.
Verse
.
26
Then
was
ther
one
set
vp
,
but
shortlye
it
appeered
no
more
.
Then
arose
Odoacer
,
the
first
of
the
foure
:
leading
a
people
begotten
in
the
bowels
and
inmost
parts
of
the
North
,
who
hearing
of
the
deuided
and
weak
estate
of
the
Empire
,
was
encouraged
to
moue
from
beyond
the
Danube
,
in
much
feare
and
blood
descended
into
Italie
,
slew
her
last
Lord
and
Emperor
Momyllus
Augustulus
,
destroyed
the
name
of
her
Consuler
dignitie
,
and
blotted
out
for
euer
the
memory
of
her
holy
Senat
,
the
murtherer
of
Romulus
their
first
King
,
and
Iulius
their
first
Keyser
:
And
not
daring
as
base
begotten
,
to
put
on
the
presence
and
stile
of
an
Emperor
(
which
name
this
fether
fatallie
resisted
)
contented
him-selfe
with
the
title
of
King
of
Italie
.
But
his
glory
indured
not
,
for
after
he
had
reigned
eighteene
yeares
,
Theodorick
(
as
in
the
24.
verse
)
tooke
his
kingdome
from
him
by
force
,
and
his
life
by
fraude
:
and
he
descended
,
and
appeered
no
more
.

And
the
second

was
sooner
gone
then
the

After
him
arose
Totilas

second
fether
of
the
foure

by

a
Spaniard
,
by

a
West-gothe
,
(
whose
fearefull

these

were
more
in
trouble
,
and
(
as
the
Prophet
fore-saw
)
in
number
fewer

Odoacers

in

after
many
hopes

Then
I
beheld
,
and
loe
the
two
that
remained

did
thinke

in
them-selues
to

.
So
as
of
all
th'
eight
,
ther
remained
but
the
Longobards
,
and
th'
intestine
faction
:
which
thought
also
in
them-selues
to
reigne
.
The
first
inflamed
by
the
letters
of
Narses
,
and
with
the
goodnes
of
Italie
,
left
their
northern
dennes
,
and
like
a
fearefull
storme
fell
down
vpon
it
,
and
in
two
yeares
ouerthrew
it
,
crowning
their
leader
Alboinus
,
King
thereof
at
Milan

who
after

possessed
it

The
eight

last

of

was

are

the

fore-seeing
saith
:
they

accord

their

And
behold
,
the
middle
head
was
turned
with
them
that
were
turned
with
it
,
and
did
eat
vp
the
two
vnder
winges
which
thought
to
reigne
.
And
the
Prophet
saw
this
middle
head
(
the
head
of
euill
,
)
impart
his
felowship
to
all
Princes
and
Kingdomes
,
which
desired
to
be
in
leage
with
it
.
But
my
taske
which
hasteth
to
an
end
,
will
not
suffer
me
now
,
and
here
,
to
sound
this
gulfe
of
Santa
Liega
suffiseth
that
for
Syons
sake
the
Prophet
passing
by
,
doth
point
therat
.
And
the
Prophet
beheld
,
that
this
middle
head
did
deuoure
&
eat
vp
the
vnder
winges
,
namely
,
the
power
of
the
Longobards
and
the
intestine
faction
,
which
thought
also
to
reigne
.
The
first
by
the
sword
of
Charles
,
surnamed
(
for
his
exceeding
power
)
the
great
,
who
at
the
command
of
Babylon
his
god
,
ascended
into
Italie
,
took
her
King
Desiderius
prisoner
,
and
led
him
capture
into
France
,
and
gaue
his
Kingdome
to
an
other
.
And
thus
vanished
this
seuenth
contrarye
feather
,
after
it
had
humbled
the
whore
,
and
spred
it selfe
ouer
all
her
quarters
200.
and
4.
yeares
,
and
the
feare
thereof
discended
,

it
appeared
no
more

of
Cono
the
Emperor

hauing
an
action
of
contrary
opinion

against
Gregory
the
second

followed
it
so
hotly

that
he
brought
his
holines
into
such
disgrace
,
as
that
he
kindled
a
desire
in
the
hearts
of
many
,
to
change
their
Prelat
for
a
Prince
,
and
to
edifie
their
first
and
antient
forme
of
gouernment
againe
.
This
desire
thus
begun
,
by
time
(
as
naturally
all
conspiration
doth
)
gathered
strength
,
and
aduentured
(
but
some-what
to
yong
)
to
check
the
Beast
,
who
by
reason
he
was
so
well
guarded
by
his
foresaid
head
and
champion
Charles
,
easily
neckt
it
.
Notwithstanding
some
100.
and
50.
yeares
after
,
this
vleer
now
growen
to
a
riper
head
,
vnder
the
practise
of
one
Alberique
and
Octauian
his
sonne
,
brake
out
a
new
,
and
charged
the
Beast
in
so
sharp
a
manner
,
as
without
dout
he
had
receaued
the
mate
,
had
not
his
head
in
the
midest
auoided
it
once
againe
,
whose
name
was
now
changed
from
Charles
the
great
,
to
Otho
the
great
:
who
as
being
by
oth
deuoted
,
came
to
Rome
,
banisht
her
new
risen
Consuls
,
hanged
her
Tribuns
,
and
mounted
her
Prefectus
vrbis
,
Mr.
of
misrule
,
naked
on
an
Asse
,
crouned
and
attended
through
the
citie
with
great
derision
:
from
thence
committed
to
prison
,
and
ther
executed
with
exquisite
torments
.
And
by
this
means
,
the
heat
of
this
defection
was
so
assuaged
,
that
it
appeered
not
for
7.
yeares
after
:
but
then
(
vnder
the
leading
of
one
Cincius
)
flamed
out
a
new
,
in
so
furious
a
sort
,
as
it
had
doutles
fyr'd
the
Beast
out
of
all
his
holds
:
had
not
his
middle
head
(
Otho
the
second
)
hasted
into
Italie
to
quench
the
same
:
who
(
knowing
how
much
it
imported
to
punish
exemplarly
so
dangerous
an
euill
)
prepared
in
the
Vatican
a
sumptuous
feast
,
inuited
therto
all
the
nobilitie
and
chiefe
of
the
citie
:
when
all
were
come
,
saluted
and
set
:
caused
forth-with
to
be
proclaimed
,
that
no
man
on
pain
of
death
,
should
either
speake
or
moue
at
any
thing
that
should
be
seene
or
heard
:
presently
entred
armed
men
and
compassed
the
place
round
where
the
guests
were
:
wherat
whilst
euery
one
amased
,
doubting
what
this
first
course
ment
,
this
middle
head
drew
forth
a
paper
,
and
whose
names
were
therein
written
,
commanded
to
be
drawen
from
the
table
,
and
in
presence
of
all
there
to
be
slaine
.
The
rest
were
curteously
entertained
,
and
were
as
merrie
as
the
feare
of
so
cruell
a
feaste
would
giue
them
leaue
.
Ne
yet
for
all
this
the
feuer
so
lefte
these
patients
,
but
that
they
fell
some
162.
yeares
after
into
relapse
againe
,
but
Frederique
the
firste
(
for
so
was
now
this
head
called
)
with
the
blood
of
a
1000.
and
the
wounds
and
imprisonment
of
as
many
more
,
so
branded
this
Hydra
,
which
had
bin
so
often
headed
,
as
it
could
neuer
after
recouer
head
againe
,
but
her
breath
departed
,
and
her
purpose
vanished
,
and
appeered
no
more
.
Verse
.
32
And
this
head
did
put
the
whole
earth
in
feare
,
and
ruled
therein
,
and
ouer
the
dwellers
thereof
,
with
much
labor
;
and
it
held
the
gouernment
of
the
world
more
,
then
all
the
wings
that
had
bin
.
That
this
head
and
his
fellowes
,
haue
more
mainteined
&
aduanced
the
rage
and
blasphemie
of
the
Beast
,
then
all
the
fethers
that
arose
before
them
,
and
made
more
diligent
and
cunning
inquisition
after
the
blood
of
Sion
then
they
,
is
it
not
eternally
cronicled
in
the
registers
of
euery
perticular
Nation
?
And
therefore
they
are
called
the
heads
of
the
Eagle
,
and
who
knoweth
not
that
heads
are
more
able
in
euil
then
fethers
?
And
the
Prophet
beheld
that
this
head
continued
longer
,
and
held
the
gouernment
of
the
world
more
then
all
the
fethers
that
had
bin
,
for
from
the
rising
of
the
first
fether

Caesar
,
to
the
end
and
expiration
of
Momyllus
Augustulus

last

yeares
,
whereas
this
head
arose
in
the
yeare
801.
and
hath
alreadie
continued
aboue
800.
and
yet
still
continueth
,
and
shall
,
till
he
that
now
is
be
taken
away
.
Verse
.
33
And
after
this
I
saw
,
and
beholde
,
this
middle
head
sodenlie
vanished
as
did
the
winges
.
In
that
the
Prophet
saw
this
middle
head
sodenly
vanish
,
as
did
the
winges
,
he
signifieth
that
it
shall
not
be
rooted
out
by
force
or
sword
of
any
,
but
depart
quietlye
,
and
die
as
it
were
in
bed
:
but
yet
(
as
the
truth
fore-saith
in
the
chapter
following
)
not
without
paine
:
meaning
,
that
the
Electors
shall
not
chuse
to
the
liking
of
the
Beast
,
nor
the
Beast
consecrate
to
the
liken
of
them
.
And
in
this
difference
this
head
shall
die
,
ne
shall
this
difference
be
exempted
from
paine
.
Verse
.
34
But
the
two
heads
remained
,
which
also
reigned
ouer
the
earth
,
and
ouer
the
inhabitants
thereof
.
And
when
the
power
of
this
great
head
,
(
which
is
now
so
little
)
like
a
tale
that
's
told
shal
be
cleane
ended
:
yet
the
feare
of
th'
other
two
shall
still
remaine
,
and
haue
dominion
ouer
the
earth
,
and
those
that
dwell
therein
,
till
the
fulnes
of
their
malice
and
tiranny
be
accomplisht
also
:
which
may
not
long
be
vn-fulfild
,
for
beholde
,
in
the
verie
next
verse
their
distruction
commeth
.
Verse

35
And
I
sawe
,
and
behelde
,
whilst
the
head
on
the
right
side
,
deuoured
that
which
was
on
the
left
.
By
the
right
head
is
ment
(
as
through
all
this
prophesie
)
the
strongest
;
so
as
the
Prophet
implyeth
,
that
the
sworde
of
Spaine
,
shall
deuide
the
strength
of
France
,
that
her
pride
,
by
deuision
made
lesse
,
may
at
the
last
(
as
euery
deuided
kingdome
doth
)
returne
to
nothing
.
Nether
shall
the
prosperitie
of
this
right-head
,
be
long
free
from
like
retaliation
,
but
as
the
truth
foresaith
.
Esd.
4.12
He
that
deuideth
with
the
sword
,
shall
perish
by
the
sword
.
For
how
may
the
sword
for
euer
escape
him
,
whom
heauen
hateth
,
and
earth
doth
persecute
?
and
of
whom
may
be
truly
said
,
which
was
spoken
of
Ismael
,
Manus
corum
contra
omnes
,
&
omnium
contra
illos
.
And
thus
shall
these
heads
perish
,
and
hast
the
faster
to
their
end
,
because
the
iudgment
of
the
Beast
is
nigh
,
in
the
very
next
verses
attending
to
come
in
.
Verse
.
36
Then
I
heard
a
voice

which
said
,
looke

thee

consider
the

which
thou
seest

Verse

37
So
I
saw
,
and
behold
,
as
it
were
a
Lyon
came
hastily
out
of
the
wood
,
roaring
;
and
I
saw
that
he
sent
out
a
mans
voyce
vnto
the
Eagle
,
and
spake
,
saying
:
Verse

38
Heare
thou
and
I
shall
tell
thee
what
the
most
High
doth
say
vnto
thee
.
The
roaring
of
the
Lyon
is
the
breath
of
the
Highest
,
which
shall
rebuke
th'
Egle
for
her
vnrighteousnes
,
and
cast
before
her
al
her
spoiles
,
and
set
her
aliue
in
iudgement
,
and
with
the
spirit
of
his
mouth
rise
vp
against
her
,
and
lay
vnto
her
charge
,
as
in

text
followeth

Verse

Art

And

41
For
thou

with

Verse
.
42
But
hast
troubled
the
meek
and
hurt
the

and
thou
hast
loued

destroyed
the
dwellings
of
them
which
brought
foorth
fruit
,
and
hast
cast
downe
the

So

this

And
as

)
the
tyrannie
of
thy

consumed

And
in

cut

this
is
the
day
whereof
I
haue
spoken
.
For
the
hope
of
which
day
,
the
stones
of
Syon
die
day
by
day
:
tho
little
esteeming
seuen
thousand
deaths
,
in
regarde
of
the
preeious
assurance
ingrauen
in
their
brests
,
that
they
shall
then
and
in
that
day
,
beholde
the
Lo●●
hath
so
mercifully
gathered
them
from
among
the
Nations
:
That
hath
so
wonderfully
preserued
them
,
from
the
sorcerie
of
Babylon
,
which
hath
destroyed
all
the
earth
.
That
dayly
leadeth
them
in
and
out
,
before
the
scorners
,
the
couetous
,
and
foolishwise
of
this
world
,
so
prudently
,
and
so
inuisibly
,
that
they
seeing
are
not
seene
,
and
lyuing
are
not
knowen
.
That
hath
bestowed
on
them
,
a
thousand
treasures
more
then
these
,
so
secretly
,
as
no
man
suspecteth
but
they
that
haue
them
.
That
hath
so
surely
and
fully
perswaded
them
,
that
tho
they
now
goe
on
their
way
weeping
,
yet
they
shall
then
returne
againe
with
ioy
,
and
bring
the
sheafes
with
them
:
and
all
the
earth
shall
then
knowe
,
which
now
is
hid
,
howe
much
the
Lord
their
Redeemer
loued
them
,
and
night
and
day
,
shall
praise
and
magnifie
the
iuste
iudgement
and
mercie
of
him
,
that
hath
done
all
things
for
them
.
Which
day
in

time
,
He
that
is
Highest

shall
manifest
to

He
that
