A
REVELATION
of
the
Reuelation
.
CHAP.
I.
EVen
as
GOD
so
much
loued
faithfull
Abraham
,
that
hee
would
not
destroy
Zodome
,
vntill
hee
had
foretold
him
thereof
,
and
likewise
his
chosen
Children
Israell
,
that
he
would
doe
nothing
but
he
would
foretell
them
therof
by
his
Prophets
:
Likewise
as
Christ
so
loued
his
Disciples
,
that
hee
foretould
them
his
Sufferings
,
Death
,
Resurrection
,
Ascension
,
and
the
comming
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
their
troubles
that
they
should
suffer
for
his
name
,
the
successe
of
the
Gospell
,
the
destruction
of
Ierusalem
,
the
glory
that
they
&
the
faithful
should
haue
with
him
in
Heauen
,
such
immeasurable
riches
of
his
loue
hath
God
shewed
vnto
his
faithfull
ones
in
these
last
ages
,
in
shewing
vnto
them
what
shall
happen
vnto
his
Church
from
the
blessed
Ascension
of
his
Sonne
Iesus
Christ
vntill
his
glorious
comming
to
Iudgement
.
And
because
he
hath
exalted
Iesus
Christ
on
his
right
hand
,
and
giuen
all
power
vnto
him
in
Heauen
and
earth
,
and
made
him
the
onely
saluation
of
all
that
are
or
shal
be
saued
;
hee
hath
likewise
giuen
vnto
him
this
Reuelation
:
and
because
Angels
be
his
ministring
spirits
for
our
saluation
,
Christ
hath
sent
it
by
an
Angell
:
and
because
the
Lord
will
not
vse
the
ministry
of
Angells
immediatly
for
our
instruction
,
the
Angell
brought
it
to
Iohn
,
to
conuey
it
to
the
seauen
Churches
of
Asia
,
and
although
it
is
directed
of
God
,
onely
to
the
seauen
Churches
of
Asia
,
it
doth
as
properly
belong
to
all
Churches
&
people
of
God
as
vnto
them
.
In
that
it
is
said
to
bee
of
things
that
shall
shortly
come
to
passe
,
a
thousand
yeares
with
the
Lord
is
but
as
one
day
with
vs
:
In
that
they
are
pronounced
blessed
that
read
,
heare
,
and
keepe
the
things
of
this
Prophecie
,
it
should
stirre
vs
vp
,
neuer
to
be
weary
of
knocking
,
asking
and
seeking
,
vntill
the
true
vnderstanding
here
of
be
giuen
vs
;
and
this
as
the
onely
meanes
,
S.
Iohn
by
his
example
commends
vnto
vs
,
in
that
hee
beginneth
with
Prayer
to
the
Father
,
Son
and
holy
Ghost
,
for
grace
and
peace
for
them
.
In
that
he
calleth
the
holy
Ghost
which
is
one
Spirit
,
seauen
Spirits
;
it
is
in
respect
of
the
seauen
folde
operation
therof
in
the
7.
churches
.
And
hauing
now
seene
Iesus
Christ
in
heauen
,
hee
cannot
passe
by
him
by
barely
naming
him
,
but
declareth
what
hee
hath
seene
of
knowne
of
him
;
That
he
is
a
faithfull
witnesse
,
the
first
begotten
of
the
dead
,
Prince
of
the
Kings
of
the
earth
,
that
loued
vs
and
washed
vs
from
our
sinnes
with
his
bloud
,
and
made
vs
Kings
&
Priests
vnto
God
:
he
commeth
with
clouds
,
and
euery
eye
shall
see
him
,
yea
,
they
that
pierced
him
,
and
all
kindreds
of
the
earth
shall
wayle
before
him
,
euen
so
Amen
.
In
that
by
persecutions
hee
was
faine
to
leaue
his
Churches
,
and
to
saue
himselfe
in
a
desolate
place
,
he
might
think
that
God
had
forsaken
his
faithfull
Churches
,
and
him
his
faithfull
seruant
,
but
wee
know
that
all
things
work
for
the
best
for
Gods
children
;
now
euen
now
in
this
desolate
place
,
he
seeth
more
comfort
then
euer
he
did
,
and
receiueth
the
greatest
Reuelation
that
euer
was
,
and
most
beneficiall
to
the
comfort
and
direction
of
the
Church
to
the
end
of
the
world
,
and
fends
this
vnto
his
Churches
farre
passing
the
comfort
of
his
presence
.
In
that
the
seauen
golden
Candlestickes
,
which
by
Christ
is
interpreted
the
seauen
Churches
,
the
gold
thereof
sheweth
the
puritie
of
their
Religion
,
without
any
drosse
of
humane
traditions
or
Iewish
ceremonies
.
The
office
of
a
Candlesticke
is
to
hold
vp
the
candle
,
that
it
may
lighten
all
the
place
where
it
is
,
whereby
is
noted
vnto
vs
,
their
care
and
loue
of
the
Gospell
,
and
the
conuersion
of
others
vnto
the
same
,
by
holding
vp
and
maintaining
their
Ministers
to
edifie
themselues
,
and
to
bee
a
light
to
them
that
be
in
darknesse
.
And
as
Christ
walked
amongst
these
golden
Candlesticks
,
so
wil
he
neuer
be
absent
from
such
golden
Candlestickes
.
No
man
as
he
is
flesh
and
blood
can
see
Christ
as
he
is
,
therefore
he
appeares
vnto
S.
Iohn
by
vision
,
and
so
no
doubt
hee
did
vnto
S.
Stephen
when
he
saw
the
heauens
open
,
and
Christ
sitting
at
the
right
hand
of
God
.
Christs
long
garment
&
golden
girdle
was
after
the
manner
of
Kings
and
Priests
,
&
declareth
that
he
is
the
King
of
kings
and
Lord
of
lords
,
and
the
onely
Ruler
of
all
things
in
heauen
and
earth
,
and
our
onely
high
Priest
.
In
his
haire
he
resembles
auncient
Senators
,
which
sheweth
his
wisedome
,
and
that
he
is
the
first
and
the
last
,
Alpha
and
Omega
,
hee
that
was
,
and
that
is
,
and
that
is
to
come
.
His
flaming
eyes
sheweth
that
hee
is
the
searcher
of
all
reynes
and
hearts
,
and
that
nothing
is
hid
from
his
eyes
with
whom
we
haue
to
doe
.
His
brasen
feet
declare
that
hee
shall
stampe
the
diuell
and
all
his
instruments
,
his
and
our
enemies
vnder
his
feet
.
His
loud
voyce
manifesteth
that
hee
shall
be
heard
vnto
the
end
of
the
world
,
how
forcible
his
Gospel
is
to
conuert
the
elect
,
how
it
shall
be
able
to
awake
to
life
all
that
are
dead
,
and
to
make
the
elect
to
meet
him
in
the
ayre
,
and
to
follow
him
vnto
glory
,
and
to
cast
the
diuell
and
all
the
wicked
into
hell
.
His
two-edged
Sword
out
of
his
mouth
,
sheweth
his
wrath
and
indignation
vnto
the
enemies
of
his
Church
,
and
their
destruction
.
His
shining
face
sheweth
his
louing
fauour
vnto
his
children
,
and
assureth
them
of
his
saluation
.
In
that
the
Ministers
of
the
seauen
Churches
are
called
Stars
,
they
are
shewed
their
office
,
euer
to
bee
inlightning
those
that
are
in
darkenesse
,
with
the
bright
beames
of
the
Gospell
,
and
to
shew
forth
their
loue
vnto
God
and
his
children
by
their
good
workes
,
that
men
may
glorifie
their
Father
in
heauen
.
In
that
he
holds
them
in
his
hand
,
whereas
hee
is
said
but
to
be
in
the
middest
of
the
Candlestickes
,
it
assureth
vs
,
if
wee
be
such
Starres
,
he
will
haue
a
speciall
care
ouer
vs
,
he
will
hold
vs
in
his
hand
,
and
none
shall
be
able
to
hurt
vs
,
or
take
vs
from
him
.
S.
Iohn
at
the
first
sight
did
think
him
to
be
like
Christ
,
but
lest
hee
should
be
deceiued
,
Christ
telleth
him
that
He
is
he
that
was
dead
&
is
aliue
,
and
bade
him
behold
him
,
and
told
him
that
he
liued
for
euer
,
and
had
the
keyes
of
hell
and
of
death
.
In
that
Iohn
is
commanded
to
write
these
things
,
it
sheweth
how
necessary
they
are
to
be
read
of
his
Children
:
and
in
that
Christ
interpreteth
the
hardest
things
to
be
vnderstood
in
these
visions
,
it
certifieth
vs
,
that
wee
may
attaine
vnto
the
meaning
of
all
the
rest
by
earnest
prayer
.

&

IN
that
Iesus
Christ
commands
Iohn
to
write
seauen
Letters
vnto
the
seauen
Churches
,
and
indites
euery
Epistle
with
the
words
of
his
owne
mouth
,
wee
are
assured
that
hee
is
the
only
head
of
the
Church
,
and
that
his
care
and
loue
vnto
the
Church
is
no
lesse
then
when
hee
was
vpon
earth
,
and
that
hee
seeth
whatsoeuer
is
done
,
whether
it
be
good
or
bad
.
Therefore
let
euery
one
of
vs
in
his
calling
serue
the
Lord
Iesus
,
as
walking
alwayes
before
his
face
:
for
such
an
high
Priest
it
behooued
vs
to
haue
,
which
is
holy
,
harmelesse
,
vndefiled
,
seperated
from
sinners
,
and
made
higher
then
the
heauens
,
and
which
once
hath
offered
himselfe
a
sufficient
sacrifice
for
all
the
elect
,
and
is
consecrated
for
euermore
.
All
Ministers
must
striue
to
serue
Christ
in
those
things
which
hee
commends
in
the
Ministers
,
for
they
concerne
all
Ministers
to
the
end
of
the
world
.
The
Minister
of
Ephesus
is
commended
for
his
workes
,
his
labour
,
his
patience
,
his
zeale
,
that
he
cannot
forbeare
the
euill
,
but
examines
false
Apostles
&
findes
them
lyars
,
and
for
suffring
patiently
for
his
name
,
and
not
fainting
,
for
hating
the
workes
of
Seducers
as
the
Nicholaitans
.
Hee
saith
to
the
Angell
of
the
Church
of
Smyrna
,
I
know
thy
workes
,
and
thy
labour
,
and
pouerty
,
but
thou
art
rich
.
He
saith
vnto
the
Angell
of
the
Church
of
Pergamus
:
I
know
thy
workes
and
where
thou
dwellest
,
euen
where
Sathans
throne
is
,
and
thou
keepest
my
name
,
and
hast
not
denyed
my
faith
,
when
Antipas
my
faithfull
Martyr
was
slaine
amongst
you
.
He
saith
to
the
Angell
of
Thyatyra
I
know
thy
workes
,
thy
loue
,
and
seruice
,
and
faith
&
patience
,
and
thy
works
are
more
at
last
then
at
the
first
.
If
we
follow
these
things
vnto
the
end
,
we
shall
ouercome
;
then
shall
wee
eat
of
the
Tree
of
life
in
the
midst
of
Paradice
,
which
is
Christ
;
wee
shall
eate
the
Manna
that
is
hid
,
which
is
the
ioy
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
peace
of
conscience
,
wee
shall
haue
a
white
stone
and
a
new
name
,
that
wee
are
Christs
written
on
it
,
which
none
can
read
but
them
which
haue
it
,
that
is
,
the
Spirit
shall
assure
vs
that
wee
are
Gods
Children
,
and
none
but
our selues
can
know
the
assurance
of
our
hope
;
then
shall
we
haue
power
to
rule
the
Nations
with
a
rod
of
Iron
,
that
is
,
we
shall
ouercome
the
Diuell
and
sinne
,
and
his
instruments
,
and
in
the
world
to
come
breake
them
in
pieces
like
a
Potters
vessell
.
As
Christ
receiued
the
morning
starre
of
his
father
,
so
he
will
giue
it
vs
,
that
is
,
the
spirit
of
wisdome
;
wee
shall
be
clothed
in
white
,
that
is
,
with
his
righteousnesse
,
and
not
bee
put
out
of
the
booke
of
life
,
but
Christ
will
confesse
our
names
before
his
father
and
his
Angells
;
we
shall
be
made
pillars
in
the
temple
of
God
,
and
goe
out
no
more
,
and
wee
shall
haue
the
name
of
our
God
,
and
the
Citty
of
our
God
,
and
Christs
new
name
written
vpon
vs
,
Christ
will
grant
vs
to
sit
in
his
throne
,
as
hee
sits
in
his
fathers
throne
.
In
that
the
aduersaries
vnto
the
truth
&
vnto
Gods
Ministers
are
in
the
letter
vnto
the
Smyrnians
,
&
in
that
to
Philadelphia
called
the
synagogue
of
Sathan
,
&
in
the
letter
to
Pergamus
their
dwelling
is
called
the
dwelling
of
Sathan
&
the
throne
of
Sathan
,
and
in
the
letter
to
Thiatyra
,
their
false
doctrine
is
called
the
deepenesse
of
Sathan
:
let
all
such
know
of
whom
they
are
,
and
call
to
God
for
his
grace
in
Christ
,
that
they
may
repent
with
Saint
Paul
,
and
be
translated
from
the
power
of
Sathan
into
the
Kingdome
of
Christ
,
neither
needs
Gods
Ministers
and
Children
bee
afraid
of
them
,
their
lies
,
subtile
practises
,
or
persecutions
,
for
he
that
is
with
vs
is
greater
then
he
that
is
against
vs
.
Likewise
let
all
Gods
Ministers
and
Children
marke
what
things
the
Ministers
are
blamed
for
,
that
they
may
be
wary
not
to
offend
in
the
same
.
Christ
remembers
the
Angell
of
Ephesus
that
hee
is
fallen
from
the
loue
he
had
at
the
first
,
belike
because
hee
reaped
vnthankfulnesse
and
ill
will
for
his
labour
,
this
must
not
discourage
vs
,
wee
must
looke
for
our
reward
of
God
,
and
if
wee
had
neuer
so
many
afflictions
,
they
are
not
worthy
of
the
great
glory
wee
shall
haue
in
Christ
.
Christ
threatneth
him
to
come
against
him
shortly
,
and
remoue
his
Candlesticke
out
of
his
place
if
he
amend
not
;
and
surely
this
want
of
loue
was
it
that
remoued
all
these
Candlestickes
out
of
their
places
,
and
long
time
these
places
haue
beene
inhabited
of
Idolaters
.
See
what
a
many
of
commendable
vertues
,
euen
of
Christ
himselfe
,
the
Minister
of
Ephesus
had
,
and
lost
the
reward
of
them
all
by
loosing
his
loue
,
if
hee
did
not
amend
.
Christ
findes
fault
with
the
Angell
of
Pergamus
for
suffering
the
doctrine
of
Balaam
,
and
of
the
Nicholaitans
to
be
maintained
there
,
and
threatneth
to
come
against
him
for
it
,
this
must
make
vs
wary
not
to
suffer
false
doctrines
to
bee
maintained
.
The
Angell
of
Thiatyra
is
found
fault
with
,
for
suffering
Iesabel
to
intise
Christs
seruants
to
sinne
,
we
must
take
heed
of
such
.
Christ
findes
fault
with
the
Angell
of
Sardis
:
that
hee
had
a
name
that
he
liued
,
but
he
was
dead
:
let
vs
therefore
examine
our selues
well
whether
wee
liue
in
the
spirit
,
or
be
dead
in
any
sinne
,
and
let
vs
awake
and
repent
,
else
Christ
will
come
vpon
vs
suddenly
and
destroy
vs
.
Christ
findes
fault
with
the
Angell
of
Laodicea
because
hee
was
neither
hot
nor
colde
,
and
threatens
to
spue
him
out
,
and
in
that
he
boasted
of
his
riches
and
trusted
in
them
,
saying
that
hee
lacked
nothing
,
and
telleth
him
that
hee
was
poore
,
and
councelleth
him
to
buy
heauenly
treasure
,
and
that
hee
was
blinde
,
and
willeth
him
to
buy
the
eye
salue
of
the
spirit
,
that
he
might
see
the
riches
of
Christ
;
and
therefore
for
the
want
of
Christs
righteousnesse
imputed
vnto
him
,
was
naked
and
miserable
:
Christ
telleth
him
that
as
many
as
hee
hath
he
rebuketh
and
chasteneth
;
and
telleth
him
that
he
stands
at
the
dore
and
knocks
that
is
,
at
the
heart
,
and
if
any
heare
and
open
,
hee
will
come
in
and
suppe
with
him
,
and
he
shall
suppe
with
Christ
,
that
is
,
Christ
will
reioyce
to
saue
him
,
and
hee
will
reioyce
that
he
is
saued
of
Christ
.
In
that
Christ
from
heauen
stileth
the
seauen
Ministers

NOw
this
Vision
concerning
the
present
estate
of
the
seauen
Churches
being
ended
,
S.
Iohn
is
taken
vp
into
Heauen
in
the
spirit
,
to
receaue
a
Reuelation
from
Heauen
,
touching
the
whole
affaires
of
the
Church
vnto
the
end
of
the
world
,
but
this
was
likewise
directed
to
the
seauen
Churches
,
and
therefore
here
the
spirit
is
said
to
be
seuen
spirits
,
&
Christ
is
said
to
haue
seuen
hornes
,
that
is
,
his
power
in
euery
Church
.
As
St.
Paul
when
hee
was
taken
vppe
into
the
third
Heauen
could
not
vtter
that
which
hee
saw
and
heard
there
,
so
no
doubt
it
was
with
St.
Iohn
,
but
this
vision
was
shewed
him
for
our
intelligence
.
The
things
in
summe
which
hee
saw
,
was
the
inspeakeable
glory
of
God
and
Christ
,
&
all
Angells
and
Saints
,
praising
God
for
their
saluation
,
and
hee
saw
Gods
anger
against
the
damned
,
by
the
voyces
,
thunders
,
lightenings
and
earthquakes
which
hee
saw
in
the
vision
.
God
seemes
to
him
like
a
King
,
sitting
in
Parliament
in
his
chaire
of
estate
,
with
a
Raine-bow
compassing
him
,
to
glorifie
him
:
his
face
like
a
Iasper
stone
,
and
a
Sardine
.
But
the
glory
of
God
is
the
truth
of
his
promises
,
which
is
signified
by
the
Raine-bow
,
which
was
giuen
to
certifie
vs
of
the
truth
of
his
promise
,
that
hee
would
neuer
drowne
the
World
againe
;
and
the
face
of
the
Lord
is
his
louing
kindnesse
vnto
his
children
in
Christ
,
which
is
signified
in
these
most
beautifull
stones
,
the
Sardine
and
the
Iasper
.
The
24.
Elders
are
the
bookes
of
the
law
and
the
Prophets
,
the
foure
Beasts
are
the
foure
Gospells
,
these
set
forth
his
glory
,
and
declare
the
truth
of
his
promises
more
then
the
Raine-bow
,
and
the
brightnesse
of
his
loue
vnto
his
Children
more
then
the
Iasper
and
Sardine
stones
.
The
Elders
are
cloathed
in
white
,
to
shew
the
purity
of
their
doctrine
;
they
haue
Crownes
,
to
shew
how
powerfull
they
are
to
conuince
sin
and
error
:
these
and
the
beasts
are
about
the
throne
,
because
none
come
to
God
but
by
them
:
they
sit
as
Iudges
,
because
at
the
ende
of
the
world
all
shall
bee
iudged
by
them
.
These
comforted
Saint
Iohn
when
he
wept
,
so
will
they
all
of
vs
if
wee
seeke
comfort
of
them
,
and
if
any
bee
ignorant
of
any
thing
touching
their
saluation
,
they
will
certifie
vs
thereof
.
One
of
the
foure
Beasts
had
the
face
of
a
Man
,
this
seemeth
to
bee
Saint
Mathew
,
because
the
beginning
and
face
of
his
Gospell
declareth
the
generation
of
the
humanity
of
Christ
from
Dauid
.
The
Beast
like
the
Eagle
,
signifieth
Saint
Iohn
,
because
he
mounts
like
an
Eagle
into
Heauen
,
speaking
of
the
Diuinity
of
Christ
;
the
other
two
are
Marke
and
Luke
,
one
like
a
Lyon
,
because
hee
speakes
more
largely
of
the
resurrection
of
Christ
,
wherein
he
rose
like
a
Lion
from
death
,
and
conquered
sinne
,
death
,
and
hell
:
the
other
was
like
a
Calfe
,
because
hee
spake
more
largely
of
the
offering
of
Christ
,
vpon
the
Crosse
,
which
was
prefigured
by
the
sacrifice
of
Calues
in
the
old
Law
.
Their
sixe
wings
a
peece
,
sheweth
the
speedy
flying
of
the
Gospell
about
the
world
.
In
that
they
are
full
of
eyes
,
it
sheweth
that
by
the
new
Testament
wee
may
see
Christ
more
plainely
then
by
the
old
,
there
we
see
but
the
types
of
him
,
heere
wee
see
Christ
himselfe
.
In
that
Saint
Iohn
saw
thousand
thousands
of
Angells
,
it
sheweth
what
an
innumerable
number
there
be
;
the
office
of
these
bee
to
preserue
the
faithfull
in
this
world
,
what
need
we
then
to
feare
?
The
Angell
interprets
the
waters
where
the
Whore
sitteth
,
Reu.
17.14
.
to
bee
people
,
so
this
glassie
Sea
before
the
throne
signifies
the
soules
of
the
faithfull
;
so
it
doth
in
the
beginning
of
the
14.
Chapter
:
The
faithfull
of
the
old
Testament
are
called
Heb.
12.
so
great
a
Cloud
of
witnesses
,
signifying
,
that
there
was
as
many
of
them
,
as
droppes
of
raine
in
a
great
cloud
;
so
the
soules
in
Heauen
are
called
a
Sea
,
to
signifie
vnto
vs
that
there
bee
such
a
number
as
droppes
of
water
in
a
Sea
,
according
to
Gods
promise
vnto
Abraham
,
that
his
seed
,
that
is
,
the
faithfull
,
should
be
so
many
in
number
,
as
the
sands
on
the
Sea
shore
,
or
the
starres
in
the
Element
.
In
that
it
is
a
glassie
Sea
,
though
heere
afflictions
may
tosse
our
mindes
as
the
windes
the
waues
,
yet
as
no
winde
can
stirre
a
glassie
Sea
,
so
all
sorrow
is
parted
from
them
,
nothing
can
disturbe
their
mindes
but
they
alwayes
reioyce
in
the
Lord
.
In
that
this
Sea
is
of
glasse
an
intire
substance
,
it
sheweth
how
the
soules
in
Heauen
be
vnited
together
in
loue
,
reioysing
euery
one
at
anothers
saluation
as
at
their
owne
.
In
that
the
Sea
is
like
Christall
,
it
sheweth
how
holy
they
are
,
neuer
offending
their
louing
God
,
but
are
all
crowned
with
Crownes
of
righteousnesse
.
In
that
the
Angells
and
they
did
especially
reioyce
,
when
Christ
obtained
to
open
the
seales
,
to
shew
vs
this
Reuelation
,
it
declareth
how
dearly
they
loue
the
elect
vpon
earth
,
and
how
profitable
this
Reuelation
is
to
vs
.
CHAP.

IN
that
one
of
the
foure
Beasts
calleth
Saint
Iohn
vnto
the
opening
of
euery
seale
to
see
what
followes
,
and
his
voyce
was
as
thunder
,
it
sheweth
that
the
way
to
come
to
Christ
,
and
to
obtaine
any
thing
at
his
hand
,
is
to
hearken
vnto
the
Gospell
,
and
that
it
is
as
forcible
to
the
heart
,
as
thunder
to
the
eares
.
The
white
Horse
signifieth
the
Apostles
&
Preachers
of
the
Gospell
anone
vpon
the
sending
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
the
Rider
is
Christ
,
his
bow
whereby
hee
conquers
,
the
preaching
of
the
Gospell
,
his
Crowne
sheweth
that
the
Gospell
so
preuailed
,
that
it
got
him
a
Kingdome
.
In
that
the
Apostles
are
called
Horses
,
it
sheweth
their
swiftnesse
in
publishing
the
Gospell
:
that
white
Horse
Saint
Paul
,
what
a
number
of
Countries
did
he
plant
the
Gospell
in
!
Ioseph
of
Arimathia
and
Philip
brought
the
Gospell
into
England
,
Saint
Paul
in
the
tenth
to
the
Romanes
affirmeth
,
that
then
the
sound
of
the
Gospell
had
gone
through
all
the
earth
,
and
into
the
ends
of
the
World
.
The
red
Horse
signifies
the
idolatrous
Emperours
of
Rome
,
which
raised
the
tenne
persecutions
against
the
Christians
,
the
rider
was
the
Diuell
,
prouoking
them
thereto
,
for
he
had
permission
of
God
,
to
take
peace
from
the
earth
,
and
to
kill
with
the
sword
,
and
he
had
a
great
sword
giuen
him
,
which
sheweth
that
the
Diuell
doth
nothing
vnto
Gods
children
,
but
by
Gods
permission
,
the
causes
why
God
will
suffer
the
Diuell
to
persecute
his
children
,
are
best
knowne
vnto
his
wisdome
.
Nero
Domitius
caused
the
first
Persecution
:
He
regarded
neither
sexe
,
condition
,
or
age
,
the
streets
were
spred
with
dead
bodies
of
Christians
,
he
indeuored
vtterly
to
abolish
the
name
of
Christians
,
and
his
Successors
followed
his
steppes
:
for
their
speed
in
persecuting
they
may
well
bee
compared
to
Horses
.
The
blacke
Horse
are
such
as
went
about
to
darken
the
light
of
the
Gospell
,
and
to
maintaine
the
blacknesse
of
Idolatry
;
the
Diuell
the
Prince
of
darkenesse
was
their
Rider
,
because
he
prouoked
them
therevnto
:
but
he
had
no
power
to
hurt
the
oyle
and
the
wine
,
that
is
,
those
that
had
the
oyle
of
the
Spirit
,
and
the
wine
of
Christs
blood
by
a
liuely
faith
.
The
pale
Horse
seemeth
to
bee
Dioclesian
which
moued
the
tenth
Persecution
,
hee
is
called
Death
,
because
hee
martyred
so
many
Christians
in
all
Countries
,
at
one
time
hee
slew
6660.
of
his
owne
soldiers
,
because
they
were
Christians
,
hee
destroyed
all
the
Christians
in
England
:
no
tongue
can
vtter
the
deaths
and
torments
that
this
Tyrant
vsed
,
hanging
them
by
one
hand
,
scourging
them
,
and
broyling
them
not
to
death
,
but
euery
day
:
Eusebius
saith
hee
saw
the
swordes
of
the
Persecutors
blunt
with
often
slaughter
,
themselues
for
wearinesse
to
sit
downe
and
rest
,
but
the
Martyrs
nothing
dismaid
were
patient
for
Christs
sake
:
so
he
did
likewise
in
all
Countries
.
Then
the
soules
of
the
faithfull
that
were
slaine
in
these
tenne
Persecutions
being
vnder
the
altar
which
is
Christ
,
cryed
to
God
as
Abels
blood
did
for
vengeance
,
and
they
had
long
white
robes
,
which
is
the
righteousnesse
of
Christ
,
and
they
were
bid
to
rest
vntill
their
fellow-seruants
should
be
killed
as
they
were
,
that
is
,
vntill
Antichrist
should
be
more
drunken
with
the
bloud
of
Saints
then
the
Emperours
were
.
But
their
cries
moued
the
Lord
to
vengeance
,
and
hee
destroyed
these
idolatrous
persecutors
by
the
hand
of
Constantine
whom
the
Lord
made
a
most
Christian
Emperour
.
The
Earthquake
,
the
blacknesse
of
the
Sun
,
and
rednes
of
the
Moon
,
the
falling
of
the
Stars
,
the
vanishing
of
heauen
,
the
remouing
of
the
mountaines
,
and
the
feare
of
the
great
ones
,
desiring
the
mountains
and
rockes
to
couer
them
from
the
wrath
of
God
,
describeth
the
fearefulnes
of
Gods
wrath
executed
vpon
these
persecuting
Idolaters
:
&
although
these
things
shall
not
truly
come
to
passe
vntil
the
comming
of
Christ
,
yet
these
words
were
vsed
by
Christ
in
prophesying
the
destruction
of
Ierusalem
,
and
in
other
places
of
Scripture
,
when
the
execution
of
some
great
Iudgement
is
prophesied
.

that
held

shewes
the
peace
that
God
had
giuen
vnto
the
Church
by
Constantine
,
&
how
God
by
his
Angels
preserued
them
from

The

of
euery
Tribe
,
a
certaine
number
for
an
innumerable
number
,
and
a
greater
number
of
other
Nations
,
sheweth
the
flowrishing
of
the
Gospell
at
that
time
.
This
likewise
is
declared
by
the
wonderful
reioycing
of
the
Angels

Saints
in

,
ascribing
vnto
God
praise
,
honour
glory
,
&

,

What
haue
the
Martyrs
lost
by
these
persecutions
?
Though
they
suffered
tribulations
for
a
small
time
,
now
they
are
in
long
white
garments
,
which
signifieth
Christs
righteousnesse
,
being
in
the
presence
of
the
throne
of
God
,
and
serue
him
day
and
night
in
his
Temple
;
and
hee
that
sitteth
on
the
throne
will
euer
dwell
with
them
,
and
they
shall
haue
no
more
hunger
nor
thirst
,
nor
be
hurt
,
but
God
will
gouerne
them
and
leade
them
to
the
liuely
fountaines
of
waters
,
and
wipe
away
all
teares
from
their
eyes
.

IN
that
this
peace
is
said
to
continue
but
halfe
an
houre
,
it
shewes
that
it
did
not
indure
long
:
for
the
Church
beganne
to
waxe
wanton
with
this
great
peace
,
&
indeuored
more
to
get
large
reuennues
and
riches
of
the
world
,
then
to
set
forth
the
Gospell
.
In
their
establishing
Christianity
in
Rome
,
to
please
the
most
superstitious
and
idolatrous
Romanes
,
they
translated
all
their
Heathen
gods
of
Rome
to
bee
their
gods
,
only
by
giuing
them
other
names
;
Pantheon
which
was
the
house
of
all
gods
,
is
Maria
rotunda
,
the
house
of
all
Saints
:
the
place
of
Cibel
mother
of
gods
,
is
now
placed
to
Mary
the
mother
of
God
:
the
temple
that
was
dedicated
vnto
Pallas
and
Minerua
is
now
dedicated
vnto
Minerua
a
virgin
;
and
they
inclined
to
many
other
pernicious
and
idolatrous
superstitions
both
of
the
Iewes
and
Gentiles
:
Therefore
Christ
is
siguratiuely
said
to
stand
before
the
Altar
,
with
a
golden
Censor
,
and
much
odors
was
giuen
him
to
offer
,
which
was
the
prayers
of
Saints
;
and
the
smoake
of
the
odors
,
which
is
the
prayers
of
Saints
,
went
vp
to
God
out
of
Christs
hand
,
and
hee
tooke
the
densor
and
filled
it
with
coales
from
the
Altar
,
and
cast
it
into
the
earth
,
and
there
was
voyces
&
thunders
,
lightnings
and
earthquakes
,
all
which
signifieth
Gods
most
heauy
indignation
against
them
.
And
there
was
hayle
&
sire
mingled
with
bloud
cast
vpon
the
earth
,
and
burned
the
third
part
of
Trees
and
greene
grasse
.
The
earth
signifieth
the
great
men
,
as
the
earth
is
higher
then
the
sea
and
flouds
;
these
were
first
perswaded
to
superstition
:
the
haile
signifieth
their
coldnes
in
true
Religion
,
the
fire
mingled
with
bloud
their
heat
to
maintaine
superstitions
,
euen
to
the
shedding
of
the
bloud
of
such
as
would
not
consent
to
their
superstitions
.
The
great
Mountaine
that
was
cast
into
the
sea
burning
with
fire
,
was
the
Emperour
,
which
by
the
perswasion
of
the
superstitious
,
cast
himselfe
from
God
and
Christ
,
and
tooke
their
part
to
maintaine
their
superstitions
,
and
with
a
burning
zeale
persecuted
the
third
part
of
common
people
,
which
are
signified
by
the
sea
.
As
the
Starres
signified
the
Ministers
of
the
seuen
Churches
,
so
this
great
Star
that
fell
from
heauen
is
the
Bishop
of
Rome
:
by
falling
from
heauen
is
meant
from
the
Church
.
This
seemes
to
be
about
the
yere
666.
according
to
Chap.
13.
His
bitternesse
called
wormwood
,
are

into

to
set

Latine
Seruice

This
Star
fell
into
and
made
bitter
the
fountains
and
springs
,
these
are
the
Clergy
,
for
they
should
minister
to
all
men
the
water
of
life
,
as
riuers
feede
both
sea
and
land
:
so
likewise
in
that

darkned
the
Sun

the

this
meaneth
the
Ministers

make

that
the

silenced
the
Bishops
&
Preachers
which
were
within

Iurisdiction
from
preaching

IN
this
Chapter
is
a
Prophesie
of
another
Star
,
which
S.
Iohn
saith
was
fallen
from
heauen
,
because
the
Popedome
was
fallen
before
.
This
seemes
to
be
Hilaebrand
the
Pope
,
which
ioyned
vnto
the
Popedome
the
temporall
Sword
,
that
is
,
iutisdiction
ouer
all
Emperours
&
Kings
,
to
place
them
and
displace
them
at
his
pleasure
.
Which
appeares
in
that
hee
gaue
such
power
to
his
Locusts
,
as
hereafter
is
declared
:
he
is
said
to
haue
the
key
of
the
bottomlesse
pit
,
which
sheweth
that
as
the
Angell
in
the
20.
Chap.
had
the
key
of
the
bottomlesse
pit
to
binde
Sathan
,
and
to
shut
him
therein
for
1000.
yeares
,
so
when
the
1000.
yeares
were
expired
,
the
Pope
had
the
key
of
the
bottomlesse
pit
to
let
him
out
againe
.
The
smoake
that
came
out
of
this
pit
when
it
was
opened
,
and
darkned
the
Sunne
,
was
their
superstitions
and
false
doctrines
,
that
darkned
the
Gospel
as
smoake
darkens
the
Sun
.
The
Locusts
that
came
out
,
were
the
Cardinals
and
Bishops
.
These
farre
differed
from
the
Bishops
of
the
primitiue
Church
:
they
were
the
onely
planters
and
maintainers
of
true
Religion
,
these
the
onely
confounders
&
destroyers
therof
.
The
Locusts
in
Egypt
neuer
more
deuoured
the
fruits
of
the
land
,
then
these
Locusts
did
the
riches
of
all
Countries
,
both
of
their
soules
and
of
their
bodies
.
Their
crownes
shew
the
power
that
they
had
:
their
faces
like
men
sheweth
their
hypocriticall
and
fayre
speeches
:
their
hayre
like
women
declareth
their
flattering
allurements
that
they
vsed
:
their
Lions
tee●h
their
cruelty
,
and
what
deuourers
of
men
they
were
:
their
iron
haubergions
sheweth
the
temporall
iurisdiction
that
they
had
:
their
wings
,
and
chariots
with
many
horses
,
sheweth
their
swiftnesse
and
power
to
doe
mischiefe
:
their
tayles
like
Scorpions
,
with
heads
and
crownes
on
them
,
and
stings
,
were
their
Substitutes
and
Officers
,
to
whom
they
gaue
great
power
,
as
appeareth
by
their
heads
and
crownes
;
These
so
much
stung
and
vexed
the
people
,
that
they
were
weary
of
their
liues
.
In
that
these
had
not
power
to
hurt
those
that
were
marked
by
the
Angell
for
God
in
the
fore-heads
,
it
sheweth
,
that
yet
the
diuels
time
was
not
come
,
to
bee
let
loose
to
shed
the
bloud
of
Saints
;
and
it
declareth
the
prouidence
of
God
vnto
the
faithfull
,
and
that
hee
had
euer
his
Church
in
the
most
troublous
times
.
In
that
these
Locusts
came
out
of
the
bottomlesse
pit
,
it
sheweth
that
they
were
of
the
diuell
,
and
if
the
Diuell
himselfe
had
beene
in
the
shape
of
man
,
he
could
not
be
worse
then
they
were
.
In
that
they
had
power
to
hurt
but
for
fiue
moneths
,
it
is
common
with
the
holy
Ghost
in
prophesies
,
to
set
a
day
for
a
yeare
,
and
at
30.
dayes
to
the
moneth
,
which
was
the
Iewes
computation
,
fiue
moneths
is
150.
dayes
,
which
sheweth
that
their
chiefe
regalitie
and
power
was
to
continue
but
150.
yeares
.
In
that
this
Starre
is
said
to
haue
the
key
of
the
bottomlesse
pit
,
wee
may
see
how
much
the
Pope
deceiueth
vs
,
in
vaunting
that
hee
hath
the
keyes
of
heauen
,
when
they
are
but
the
keyes
of
hell
.
The
mighty
power
of
the
Pope
at
this
time
,
is
declared
,
in
that
that
hee
is
called
the
King
ouer
the
Locusts
:
and
in
that
he
could
conferre
such
great
power
vpon
them
:
and
in
that
hee
is
said
to
be
the
Angell
of
the
bottomlesse
pit
,
it
sheweth
,
that
hee
had
all
the
power
that
the
diuell
could
doe
to
strengthen
him
,
and
it
appeares
what
a
destroyer
the
Pope
is
,
in
that
the
holy
Ghost
nameth
him
Destruction
.
This
Vision
following
in
the
14.
Verse
of
this
Chapter
,
and
the
Vision
in
the
7.
Verse
of
the
20.
Chapter
,
are
all
one
:
Now
the
1000.
yeares
that
the
diuell
should
bee
bound
,
being
expired
,
the
Gospell
beginning
to
reuiue
again
,
he
hath
liberty
to
rage
and
stirre
againe
,
that
the
might
of
Christ
might
bee
seene
in
defending
his
silly
Lambes
against
the
diuell
the
roaring
Lion
,
and
all
the
popish
Wolues
though
they
were
neuer
so
strong
.
The
infinite
number
of
warriers
that
S.
Iohn
saw
and
told
,
were
the
very
same
Locusts
before
mentioned
:
for
the
description
of
these
&
them
are
all
one
in
all
points
,
and
their
battell
was
against
the
Saints
,
as
appeareth
in
the
20.
Chapter
.
The
fire
,
smoake
,
and
brimstone
,
that
went
out
of
their
mouthes
,
were
their
Excommunications
,
in
that
like
smoake
they
breathed
out
,
that
whosoeuer
disobeyed
them
should
be
eternally
burnt
in
Hell
with
fire
and
brimstone
.
In
that
the
Diuell
is
said
to
be
foure
Angels
,
it
is
because
as
soone
as
he
was
set
at
liberty
,
as
is
declared
in
the
20.
Chapter
,
he
went
into
all
the
foure
quarters
of
the
earth
,
to
prouoke
men
against
the
Children
of
God
:
in
that
hee
got
such
an
infinite
number
,
these
were
the
Pope
,
Cardinals
,
Bishops
,
Abbots
,
Fryers
,
and
their
officers
,
to
martyr
the
Saints
.
In
that
it
is
said
hee
came
from
the
riuer
Euphrates
,
it
was
to
signifie
,
that
as
the
Babilonians
came
from
Euphrates
to
destroy
the
materiall
Temple
,
so
should
this
spirituall
Babilon
destroy
the
spirituall
Temple
.
If
wee
consider
the
martyrdome
of
the
Waldences
in
France
,
and
their
massacres
,
and
the
Martyres
that
their
Inquisitions
haue
deuoured
there
,
and
all
that
haue
beene
martyred
in
England
since
Wicklifs
time
,
&
those
that
haue
beene
martyred
in
Bohemia
,
Germany
,
Scotland
,
and
by
their
Inquisitions
in
Spaine
&
other
places
,
we
shall
see
that
the
Diuell
by
these
Locusts
since
his
letting
loose
hath
slaine
more
of
Gods
children
,
then
euer
he
did
before
he
was
bound
.
CHAP.
10.
NOtwithstanding
the
mighty
hoast
of
the
diuell
,
and
all
his
Popish
train
,
yet
we
see
how
Christ
hath
preuailed
.
As
Sauls
kingdome
decreased
and
Dauids
increased
,
so
the
Lord
be
praysed
,
wee
daily
see
Christs
kingdome
increase
,
&
the
Popes
more
and
more
ruinated
:
let
the
Iesuites
the
Angels
of
the
bottomlesse
pit
,
deuise
neuer
so
many
diuellish
practises
to
vphold
the
same
,
the
vision
of
Christ
in
this
Chapter
declareth
so
much
.
His
Rainebow
about
his
head
,
teacheth
vs
,
that
the
Diuell
by
the
Pope
and
his
Locusts
shall
preuaile
no
more
ouer
vs
,
euen
as
the
Rainbow
assureth
vs
the
world
shall
bee
no
more
drowned
.
His
face
shineth
,
to
shew
his
fauor
to
such
as
haue
forsaken
all
Popish
errors
and
trust
in
him
onely
:
&
his
brasen
feet
certifieth
vs
,
that
he
will
tread
the
Diuell
,
the
Pope
,
and
all
his
Locusts
vnder
his
feete
.
In
that
he
sets
one
foot
on
the
sea
,
and
the
other
foot
on
the
land
,
it
may
hence
infallibly
be
gathered
,
that
after
Christ
shall
destroy
the
Popedome
,
the
very
Turkes
and
Iewes
,
and
all
Papists
that
remaine
,
shall
bee
conuerted
to
beleeue
in
Christ
onely
,
and
his
elect
among
them
shall
be
saued
.
In
that
Christ
sweares
that
there
shall
be
no
more
time
,
but
in
the
dayes
of
the
voyce
of
the
seauenth
Angell
,
when
hee
shall
blow
the
Trumpet
,
the
mystery
of
God
shall
be
finished
,
it
may
be
most
certainly
concluded
,
that
not
long
after
the
destruction
of
the
Popedome
Christ
shall
come
to
Iudgement
.
In
that
S.
Iohn
is
forbidden
to
to
write
the
voyce
of
the
seauen
thunders
,
we
must
learne
that
there
be
some
things
that
the
Lord
will
not
haue
reuealed
vnto
vs
,
as
is
the
day
of
Christs
comming
to
iudgement
,
and
the
certaine
day
of
the
destruction
of
Antichrist
,
and
such
like
:
and
that
whatsoeuer
is
written
by
his
commandement
,
we
may
be
bold
and
ought
to
begge
of
Christ
by
prayer
,
and
by
all
meanes
seeke
for
the
vnderstanding
thereof
.
Saint
Iohn
his
eating
of
the
booke
was
his
certaine
vnderstanding
of
the
things
contained
therein
,
and
the
knowledge
thereof
was
sweet
to
him
at
the
first
,
but
when
hee
had
well
considered
how
the
Diuell
should
haue
such
great
power
to
persecute
the
Saints
,
and
to
spill
their
blood
in
such
aboundant
manner
,
the
knowledge
heerof
was
most
bitter
vnto
him
,
then
St.
Iohn
is
commanded
of
Christ
to
prophesie
againe
amongst
the
people
,
Nations
and
Tongues
,
and
to
many
Kings
,
according
to
which
in
the
next
Chapter
,
Saint
Iohn
beginneth
a
new
Reuelation
of
all
things
that
hath
beene
reuealed
touching
Antichrist
,
in
a
more
large
and
ample
manner
,
then
in
this
Reuelation
already
is
declared
.
CHAP.
11.
IOseph
telleth
Pharoah
Gen.
41
32.
therefore
the
Dreame
was
do●bled
vnto
Pharoah
the
second
time
,
because
the
thing
is
established
before
God
:
euen
so
,
because
the
Prophesies
in
this
Reuelation
are
established
and
sure
to
be
performed
:
and
to
make
them
the
more
certainely
and
manifestly
of
vs
to
bee
vnderstood
&
beleeued
,
all
things
that
haue
beene
reuealed
touching
Antichrist
,
are
from
this
Chapter
vnto
the
end
of
the
Booke
reuealed
againe
,
but
farre
more
amply
and
plainely
delared
then
in
the
former
:
but
in
this
is
nothing
prophisied
but
the
things
concerning
Antichrist
.
In
the
8.
Chapter
Christ
offereth
the
prayers
of
the
faithfull
to
God
,
and
then
filleth
the
Censor
with
coales
of
the
Altar
,
and
threw
them
vpon
the
earth
,
and
there
fell
vpon
the
earth
hayle
,
and
fire
mingled
with
blood
,
and
it
burnt
the
third
part
of
Trees
and
greene
grasse
.
Wherein
I
shewed
the
great
peace
the
Church
enioyed
by
Constantine
;
in
which
prosperity
the
Romish
Church
fell
to
superstitions
and
anger'd
God
:
wherefore
hee
gaue
them
ouer
to
their
owne
lustes
,
vntill
the
Romane
Church
became
the
Synagogue
of
Sathan
and
Antichrist
,
and
they
became
as
colde
as
hayle
in
true
religion
and
as
hot
as
fire
euen
to
the
shedding
of
blood
,
to
maintaine
their
superstitions
.
In
this
Chapter
they
that
trusted
only
vnto
the
blood
of
Christ
,
by
an
allusion
vnto
the
temple
of
Salomon
,
are
said
to
be
the
temple
of
God
,
and
Saint
Iohn
is
commanded
to
measure
them
to
God
:
and
the
superstitious
Romanes
,
and
those
that
tooke
their
parts
are
said
to
be
the
Courts
,
because
they
make
a
shew
of
Religion
,
but
with
superstitions
prophane
the
truth
,
therefore
Saint
Iohn
is
commanded
to
cast
them
out
,
and
not
to
mete
them
;
and
these
shall
tread
the
holy
Citty
,
that
is

,
and
it
is
common
with
the
Holy
ghost
in
Prophesies
to
set
downe
a
day
for
a
yeare
,
so
Antichrist
must
raigne
1260.
yeares
.
The
two
witnesses
are
the
olde
and
new
Testaments
,
and
all
that
preach
and
teach
them
all
the
time
of
Antichrist
,
these
shall
bee
two
oliue
trees
spiritually
to
feede
the
soules
of
the
Elect
,
and
to
conuey
the
oyle
of
the
holy
Ghost
into
them
,
and
they
shall
be
two
lamps
to
lighten
them
in
the
wayes
of
saluation
,
and
they
shall
stand
before
the
Pope
the
God
of
the
earth
,
and
if
any
hurt
the
Preachers
of
them
,
the
Lord
will
send
plagues
from
heauen
vpon
such
.
In
that
they
are
said
to
be
cloathed
in
Sackcloth
,
it
sheweth
,
that
the
Professors
of
them
shall
be
nothing
regarded
,
and
shall
haue
all
this
time
great
cause
to
mourne
for
the
little
regard
that
the
Gospell
had
,
and
for
the
superstitions
and
sinnes
of
the
people
.
In
the
seauenth
verse
,
when
they
haue
finished
their
testimony
,
the
Beast
out
of
the
bottomlesse
pit
shall
make
warre
against
them
,
and
ouercome
them
,
and
kill
them
;
this
is
after
the
loosing
of
Sathan
.
Their
corpes
shall
be
dead
and
vnburied
in
Rome
;
that
is
,
as
a
dead
carcasse
long
vnburied
,
is
noysome
to
bee
seene
or
smelt
,
euen
so
noysome
was
the
word
of
God
,
and
the
preaching
thereof
vnto
them
all
the
time
of
their
superstitions
,
yet
they
could
not
bury
their
corpes
all
this
while
,
that
is
,
they
could
not
quite
pur
downe
the
preaching
of
the
word
;
but
the
Lord
still
stirred
vp
some
,
(
yea
though
they
dyed
for
it
)
to
tell
them
of
their
idolatries
,
superstitions
,
murther
,
sorcery
,
fornication
and
theft
.
It
sheweth
what
great
power
the
Diuel
hath
ouer
the
vnregenerate
,
that
hee
can
make
them
reioyce
,
and
bring
gifts
one
to
another
,
for
ioy
that
the
preaching
of
the
word
is
supprest
,
and
the
bookes
of
the
word
it selfe
,
as
the
Papists
haue
done
these
many
ages
,
reioycing
that
their
meanes
of
Saluation
is
taken
from
them
,
and
that
they
are
not
hindred
from
going
headlong
vnto
eternall
damnation
.
Rome
is
called
spiritually
Zodome
,
because
they
exceed
Zodome
in
the
sinnes
therof
;
and
it
is
called
Egypt
,
because
they
haue
oppressed
the
Children
of
God
more
then
the
Egyptians
did
the
Israelites
,
and
Christ
was
slaine
in
Rome
,
in
that
Pilate
a
Romane
Iudge
condemned
him
,
and
the
Romane
officers
crucified
him
.
That
after
the
1260.
yeares
God
sent
the
spirit
into
the
two
witnesses
,
wee
see
the
truth
of
this
Prophesie
performed
,
and
we
see
them
stand
vpon
their
feet
,
and
the
feare
of
them
is
vpon
the
Pope
,
and
all
his
Clergie
,
and
God
hath
taken
them
vp
into
Heauen
,
and
exalted
and
preserued
them
in
the
sight
of
their
enemies
and
the
Popedome
by
them
hath
beene
shaken
,
as
with
a
mighty
Earthquake
,
that
the
tenth
part
haue
become
Protestants
long
agoe
,
and
dayly
his
Kingdome
hath
decayed
,
and
the
Protestants
increased
.
In
that
it
is
said
that
7000.
were
killed
with
this
earthquake
,
and
the
rest
glorified
God
,
it
sheweth
that
when
Rome
shall
bee
destroyed
all
the
Papists
(
that
then
remaine
shall
become
Protestants
.
When
the
seauenth
Angell
shall
blow
his
trumpet
,
the
Pope
shall
bee
quite
destroyed
,
and
the
Kingdomes
of
the
world
shall
bee
our
Lord
Christs
,
and
hee
shall
raigne
for
euermore
;
and
all
in
Heauen
shal
reioyce
and
say
,
We
giue
thee
thanks
Lord
God
Almighty
,
for
thou
hast
receiued
thy
great
power
,
and
obtained
thy
Kingdome
;
the
Gentiles
were
angry
,
and
thy
wrath
is
come
,
and
the
time
that
the
dead
shall
bee
iudged
,
and
that
thou
shouldest
giue
reward
vnto
thy
Prophets
and
Saints
and
them
that
feare
thy
name
,
and
that
thou
shouldest
destroy
them
that
destroy
the
earth
.
In
that
it
is
said
,
then
the
temple
of
God
was
open
,
and
the
Arke
of
the
Couenant
was
seene
,
and
that
there
were
lightenings
and
voyces
,
thunder
and
great
hayle
;
it
sheweth
Gods
anger
against
the
disobedient
to
his
word
,
that
then
there
shall
bee
no
interruption
of
the
preaching
thereof
,
and
that
the
Lord
will
hinder
and
punish
such
as
offer
to
hinder
,
and
will
not
obey
it

AS
in
the
eighth
Chapter
,
is
a
vision
of
a
great
Mountaine
that
fell
burning
into
the
Sea
,
which
there
is
interpreted
to
bee
the
Emperour
,
taking
the
part
of
the
superstitious
Romanes
,
against
the
faithfull
in
Christ
:
Heere
the
Emperour
is
called
,
a
great
red
Dragon
which
sheweth
the
fiercenesse
of
his
persecution
against
Gods
Children
for
resisting
superstitions
.
The
woman
that
was
cloathed
with
the
Sunne
,
and
the
Moone
vnder
her
feet
,
and
vpon
her
head
a
Crowne
of
twelue
starres
,
sheweth
the
flourishing
estate
of
the
Church
by
Constantine
:
the
Gospell
shined
from
them
as
the
Sun
and
Moone
,
and
the
testimony
of
the
twelue
Apostles
was
their
Crowne
and
reioycing
,
and
as
twelue
starres
to
direct
them
:
her
trauelling
with
child
,
was
the
increase
of
the
faithfull
,
which
the
Dragon
,
the
Emperour
,
sought
by
all
meanes
to
deuoure
:
they
are
called
a
Man
child
,
because
Christ
the
Man-child
and
they
are
but
all
one
;
their
taking
vp
into
Heauen
,
sheweth
their
preseruation
of
God
.
In
that
it
is
saide
,
they
shall
rule
the
Nations
with
a
rodde
of
Iron
,
it
is
,
because
Christ
their
head
shall
doe
so
for
them
.
The
Dragons
Taile
that
drew
the
third
part
of
the
starres
of
heauen
,
and
cast
them
to
the
earth
,
his
taile
signifieth
his
edicts
,
and
the
executioners
therof
;
the
starres
are
the
faithfull
Children
of
God
,
which
shine
like
starres
in
respect
of
Infidells
:
the
third
part
signifieth
all
the
Popes
iurisdiction
,
for
he
neuer
had
dominion
but
in
the
third
part
of
the
World
,
and
the
Heauen
heere
is
the
Church
:
I
leaue
the
interpretation
of
his
7.
heads
and
ten
hornes
vnto
the
17.
Chapter
,
where
the
Angell
interprets
them
.
The
flying
of
the
woman
into
the
wildernes
,
sheweth
what
feare
the
faithfull
were
put
in
,
that
they
were
faine
to
haue
priuate
meetings
,
as
if
it
were
in
a
wildernes
;
and
this
continued
,
1260.
yeares
:
concerning
the
battell
in
Heauen
,
Michael
and
his
Angells
are
Christ
and
his
Preachers
,
against
the
Diuell
and
Papists
his
Soldiers
;
and
Christ
and
his
Children
gatte
the
victory
in
the
end
;
and
Christ
and
his
shall
raigne
in
inspeakeable
glory
,
when
as
the
Diuell
and
all
that
tooke
his
part
in
resisting
the
Gospell
,
shall
inherit
eternall
paine
and
torments
.
When
this
victory
was
,
Saint
Iohn
heard
a
loud
voyce
,
saying
,
Now
is
Saluation
in
Heauen
,
that
is
,
the
Church
,
and
strength
,
and
the
Kingdome
of
our
God
,
and
the
power
of
Christ
,
for
the
accuser
of
our
brethren
is
cast
downe
:
there
was
neuer
any
that
so
falsly
accused
the
faithfull
,
as
the
Papists
haue
,
and
still
doe
,
like
vnto
the
Diuell
their
Captaine
,
which
accuseth
vs
day
and
night
before
God
;
but
they
ouercame
him
by
the
bloud
of
the
Lambe
,
and
the
word
of
their
testimony
,
and
they
loued
not
their
liues
vnto
death
;
this
certifieth
vs
who
were
Christs
Angells
that
fought
against
the
Diuell
.
Reioyce
yee
Heauens
and
they
that
dwell
therein
,
meaning
the
faithfull
in
the
true
Church
:
woe
to
the
Inhabitants
of
the
earth
and
and
sea
:
The
earth
is
often
interpreted
great
men
,
and
the
sea
the
common
people
;
meaning
carnall
men
,
for
the
Diuell
is
come
downe
vnto
you
hauing
great
wrath
,
knowing
he
hath
but
a
short
time
;
this
is
,
since
the
1000.
yeares
that
the
Diuell
is
let
loose
.
When
the
Dragon
saw
that
hee
was
cast
into
the
earth
,
that
is
,
ouercome
,
hee
persecuted
the
woman
,
but
God
preserued
her
as
an
Eagle
saueth
her selfe
with
flying
aloft
,
and
as
one
that
saueth
himselfe
by
hiding
in
the
wildernes
;
and
the
Dragon
cast
out
water
after
the
woman
,
like
a
flood
,
that
he
might
carry
her
away
,
but
the
earth
helped
the
woman
,
that
is
,
God
prouided
men
of
the
earth
euer
all
this
1260.
yeares
to
defend
and
succour
his
children
:
by
the
Dragon
is
meant
,
not
only
the
Emperours
,
but
the
Popes
;
for
since
the
Emperors
power
decaid
,
the
Popes
were
as
Emperours
.
Then
the
Dragon
made
warre
with
the
seed
of
the
woman
,
which
keepe
the
Commandements
of
God
,
and
haue
the
testimony
of
Iesus
Christ
,
these
are
the
warres
that
long
haue
beene
,
and
now
are
betwixt
the
Papists
and
the
Protestants
.
CHAP.

THe
two
Beasts
in
the
Prophesies
of
this
Chapter
,
are
the
two
starres
that
the
Prophesies
are
of
in
the
8.
and
9.
Chapters
,
and
both
set
out
vnto
vs
the
Popes
.
The
first
Beast
is
said
to
arise
out
of
the
Sea
,
that
is
,
from
amongst
the
lower
sort
of
men
;
which
is
,
when
Phocas
had
slaine
his
Maister
Mauritius
the
Emperour
&
all
his
Children
,
and
made
himselfe
Emperour
,
he
gaue
Boniface
Bishop
of
Rome
preheminence
to
be
highest
aboue
all
other
Bishops
,
and
sole
ruler
of
them
.
In
that
he
is
said
to
haue
seauen
heads
,
and
tenne
hornes
,
with
Crownes
vpon
them
,
the
reason
is
set
downe
in
the
second
verse
;
because
the
Dragon
gaue
him
his
vertue
,
and
his
throne
,
and
his
great
power
,
to
enable
him
to
fight
against
the
Children
of
God
.
In
that
there
was
set
vpon
his
head
the
name
of
blasphemie
,
is
because
the
Pope
taketh
to
himselfe
that
which
onely
belongeth
to
Christ
,
to
haue
all
power
in
Heauen
and
Earth
,
and
whatsoeuer
prerogatiue
the
Scripture
attributeth
to
Christ
,
the
Pope
most
blasphemously
taketh
to
himselfe
.
In
that
he
is
like
the
Leopard
,
no
Beast
is
so
beautifully
spotted
as
the
Leopard
is
;
so
no
Emperour
or
King
was
euer
so
richly
or
gloriously
decked
with
gold
and
precious
stones
,
as
the
Popes
haue
beene
.
In
that
his
clawes
are
like
the
clawes
of
a
Beare
,
which
hath
the
strongest
pawes
of
all
Beasts
to
catch
and
to
hold
withall
;
it
sheweth
that
neuer
any
Emperour
,
or
any
else
,
hath
been
such
an
exactor
of
the
riches
of
all
Lands
,
as
the
Popes
haue
beene
,
as
Ecclesiasticall
Histories
make
mention
.
In
that
his
mouth
was
as
the
mouth
of
a
Lyon
,
it
sheweth
his
tyranny
,
cruelty
,
and
mercilesnes
,
in
deuouring
Gods
children
,
and
well
may
the
holy
Ghost
stile
him
a
Beast
that
hath
these
beastly
qualities
:
his
head
that
was
wounded
to
death
was
the
Emperour
,
when
Mauritius
and
his
Children
were
slaine
:
But
Hiraclius
the
Emperour
killed
Phocas
that
slew
them
,
and
restored
the
Empire
againe
.
And
the
superstitious
gloried
in
the
Pope
being
made
so
great
by
the
Emperour
,
and
worshipped
the
Dragon
that
gaue
power
vnto
him
;
and
they
worshipped
the
Beast
,
saying
,
Who
is
like
vnto
the
Beast
?
Who
is
able
to
warre
with
him
?
And
the
Beast
blasphemed
God
,
and
his
name
,
and
his
tabernacle
,
and
them
that
dwell
in
Heauen
,
that
is
,
his
faithfull
Children
:
and
hee
warred
against
the
Saints
and
ouercame
them
,
and
power
was
giuen
him
ouer
euery
Kingdome
,
and
tongue
,
and
Nation
;
therefore
all
that
are
in
the
earth
shall
worship
him
,
whose
names
are
not
written
in
the
Booke
of
life
.
But
heere
is
the
benefit
of
the
patience
and
faith
of
Saints
;
if
any
lead
into
Captiuity
,
he
shall
be
led
into
Captiuity
,
and
whosoeuer
killed
them
by
the
sword
,
shall
bee
killed
by
the
sword
.
This
second
Beast
,
is
the
second
starre
in
the
ninth
Chapter
,
which
is
Hildebrand
,
which
ioyned
the
supremacie
,
vnto
the
Popedome
,
that
is
,
temporall
iurisdiction
ouer
the
Emperour
and
the
ten
Kings
,
to
place
them
and
displace
them
at
his
pleasure
,
which
is
manifested
in
that
hee
is
said
to
haue
two
hornes
like
the
Lambe
Christ
,
that
is
,
to
bee
King
of
Kings
and
Lord
of
Lords
,
as
well
as
Ruler
ouer
soules
.
Whereas
his
Predecessors
had
the
Emperours
power
and
iurisdiction
but
by
permission
and
fauour
,
hee
and
his
Successors
claymed
the
supremacie
of
duty
giuen
vnto
them
of
God
,
alleadging
all
those
places
of
Scriptures
,
which
declareth
what
supremacie
God
hath
giuen
vnto
Christ
ouer
all
in
heauen
and
earth
,
for
his
proofes
thereof
,
and
so
made
the
image
of
the
first
Beast
,
that
is
,
like
as
the
first
beast
had
the
power
of
the
Emperour
,
but
in
fauour
;
hee
annexed
the
power
and
supremacie
aboue
all
Emperours
and
Kings
,
as
an
appertinent
and
duty
vnto
the
Popedome
for
euer
,
and
he
spake
as
presumptuously
as
the
Dragon
,
&
did
execute
his
power
in
the
Emperors
sight
,
that
is
,
as
not
hauing
his
power
from
him
but
from
God
.
This
Beast
did
great
signes
,
so
that
hee
made
fire
to
descend
vpon
earth
in
the
sight
of
men
,
but
these
signes
were
done
by
Nigromancy
,
wherefore
after
Pope
Hildebrand
was
condemned
by
a
general
Councell
,
and
for
coniuration
and
dealing
with
the
Diuell
,
&
many
other
grieuous
offences
,
hee
was
by
the
said
Councell
depriued
from
being
Pope
:
but
his
Successors
vnto
this
day
still
maintaine
the
doctrine
of
his
vsurped
Supremacie
ouer
all
Princes
.
And
this
Beast
made
a
law
that
whosoeuer
would
not
worship
the
Image
of
the
Beast
should
bee
slaine
.
The
number
of
the
beasts
name
is
666.
this
is
to
shew
,
that
at
that
time
the
first
beast
beganne
to
corrupt
the
Church
with
superstitions
and
false
doctrines
,
as
is
declared
in
Chap.
8.
of
the
first
Starre
.
In
that
in
the
fift
verse
of
this
Chapter
,
there
is
a
mouth
giuen
vnto
the
beast
to
speak
blasphemies

yeares
,
so
that
iust
this
time
was
appointed
vnto
the
People
,
Emperour
,
and
Pope
,
and
it
sheweth
,
that
they
all
this
time
ioyned
together
,
to
tread
downe
the
holy
Citie
,
the
true
Church
,

this

NOw
Antichrist
is
reuealed
in
such
liuely
colours
,
that
none
except
the
diuell
blinde
his
eyes
,
but
may
see
the
Pope
to
bee
Antichrist
:
now
in
this
Chapter
begins
to
be
declared
his
destruction
.
Christs
standing
vpon
mount
Sion
,
signifieth
his
presence
with
his
children
:
the
144000.
that
were
with
him
,
which
were
sealed
in
the
7.
Chapter
,
a
certaine
number
for
an
innumerable
number
,
declaring
that
all
the
Saints
who
all
this
time
of
1260.
yeares
were
martyred
or
persecuted
by
Antichrist
,
were
with
him
in
glory
,
and
none
of
them
lost
.
In
that
the
sound
of
their
voices
was
like
the
roaring
of
many
waters
,
and
like
thunder
,
it
declareth
,
what
a
multitude
of
them
there
be
.
In
that
they
played
vpon
harps
,
and
sung
a
new
song
which
none
could
learne
but
themselues
,
their
harping
sheweth
how
ioyfully
they
praised
God
,
&
that
none
can
sing
such
new
songs
,
and
so
much
praise
God
,
as
those
which
haue
suffered
for
standing
faithfully
in
the
truth
,
and
haue
beene
deliuered
.
In
that
they
are
commended
for
not
being
defiled
with
women
,
it
is
not
onely
meant
of
their
bodily
chastity
,
but
also
of
their
spirituall
chastitie
,
in
that
Antichrist
had
not
made
them
commit
spirituall
fornication
by
following
his
idolatrous
doctrines
:
but
they
were
virgins
,
that
did
onely
cleaue
vnto
their
Spouse
Christ
and
his
word
.
In
their
mouthes
was
found
no
guile
,
they
taught
onely
the
truth
,
they
were
without
spot
before
the
throne
of
God
,
that
is
,
in
the
righteousnesse
of
Christ
.
Now
the
1260.
yeares
of
Antichrist
appeare
plainely
to
bee
finished
,
in
that
the
Gospell
doth
so
plentifully
flourish
:
and
in
that
wee
see
Christ
vpon
mount
Sion
,
that
is
,
defending
his
Church
.
And
here
wee
haue
a
promise
that
this
shall
be
an
euerlasting
Gospell
,
that
is
,
to
indure
vnto
Christs
comming
,
as
which
so
great
a
grace
was
neuer
shewed
vnto
former
ages
;
therfore
the
Angell
that
brings
vs
these
glad
tidings
,
exhorts
vs
,
to
feare
God
&
giue
glory
vnto
him
,
for
the
houre
of
his
iudgement
is
come
;
and
worship
him
that
made
heauen
and
earth
,
and
the
fountaines
of
water
.
Then
is
prophesied
that
Rome
shall
bee
destroyed
,
called
by
the
name
of
great
Babylon
;
because
as
the
Babylonians
destroyed
the
materiall
Temple
,
so
haue
they
of
Rome
the
spirituall
Temple
,
the
faithfull
:
the
cause
of
her
destruction
followeth
,
Because
shee
hath
made
drunken
all
nations
with
the
wine
of
the
wrath
of
her
fornications
,
that
is
,
of
her
idolatrous
and
false
doctrine
.
Therefore
there
followes
a
warning
that
whosoeuer
shall
worship
the
Image
of
the
Beast
,
that
is
,
the
Pope
,
and
receiue
the
print
of
his
name
,
that
is
,
make
holinesse
in
crossing
himselfe
,
and
in
other
superstitions
,
hee
shall
drinke
of
the
wine
of
the
wrath
of
God
,
and
bee
tormented
in
fire
and
brimstone
before
the
holy
Angels
and
before
the
Lambe
,
and
the
smoake
of
their
torments
shall
ascend
euermore
,
and
they
shall
haue
no
rest
day
nor
night
.
In
that
the
destruction
of
Antichrist
followeth
the
preaching
of
the
Gospell
,
it
declareth
,
that
by
it
Antichrist
shall
bee
destroyed
,
and
that
the
suppression
of
the
preaching
of
the
word
was
the
cause
of
the
growth
of
it
:
and
therefore
it
is
,
that
the
diuell
puts
into
the
heads
of
Papists
,
to
keepe
all
people
from
the
reading
,
hearing
,
and
preaching
of
Gods
word
.
The
voyce
from
heauen
that
bad
Iohn
write
,
Blessed
are
the
dead
that
die
in
the
Lord
,
for
they
rest
from
their
labours
,
and
their
workes
follow
them
,
ought
to
incourage
vs
to
preach
the
Gospell
,
to
the
beating
downe
of
Antichrist
,
though
we
suffer
neuer
so
much
for
our
labour
.
After
the
fall
of
Antichrist
by
the
preaching
of
the
Gospell
,
and
that
the
Lord
hath
fulfilled
the
number
of
the
elect
,
then
shall
Christ
come
vpon
a
white
cloud
wearing
a
golden
crowne
,
&
in
his
hand
a
sickle
,
and
because
the
haruest
of
the
earth
is
ripe
,
heeshall
thrust
in
his
sickle
,
and
the
earth
shall
be
reaped
,
that
is
,
by
an
allusion
to
husbandmen
in
haruest
,
is
declared
how
Christ
shall
gather
his
Saints
to
him
into
heauen
.
And
by
the
Angell
that
with
a
sharp
sickle
cut
vp
the
vineyards
of
the
earth
,
because
her
grapes
were
ripe
,
and
cast
them
into
the
great
winepresse
of
the
wrath
of
God
,
&
the
winepresse
was
trodden
without
the
Citie
,
&
the
bloud
,
or
wine
,
of
the
grapes
was
vnto
the
horse
bridles
by
the
space
of
1600.
furlongs
.
By
an
allusion
to
grape-gatherers
is
declared
how
Gods
Angels
shall
cast
the
reprobate
into
eternall
torments
:
and
in
that
the
winepresse
is
without
the
Citie
,
it
sheweth
that
the
place
of
the
damned
shall
be
separated
from
the
Elect
:
and
in
that
there
was
such
plenty
of
grapes
,
that
the
wine
or
bloud
of
them
was
vp
to
the
horses
bridles
that
trode
the
presses
,
for
the
space
of
1600.
furlongs
,
it
sheweth
the
multitude
of
the
number
of
the
damned
.

IN
this
Chapter
begins
the
manner
of
the
destruction
of
Rome
and
the
Popedome
,
by
the
seauen
last
plagues
:
which
vision
S.
Iohn
cals
a
great
and
meruailous
signe
.
The
glassie
sea
in
the
4.
Chapter
is
interpreted
the
soules
of
the
faithfull
:
there
it
was
like
Christall
:
but
here
like
fire
,
shewing
that
the
soules
of
the
faithfull
burned
in
zeale
for
the
martyrdomes
and
persecutions
of
Antichrist
:
and
when
they
saw
these
7.
plagues
goe
forth
they
reioyced
,
especially
the
soules
of
those
whom
Antichrist
had
martyred
and
persecuted
.
Their
ioy
is
signified
by
their
harps
,
and
they
sung
the
new
song
of
Moses
when
he
was
deliuered
from
Pharao
,
and
the
song
of
Christ
when
hee
was
raysed
from
death
,
that
is
,
Great
&
meruailous
are
thy
workes
Lord
God
Almighty
,
iust
and
true
are
thy
wayes
,
King
of
Saints
,
who
shall
not
feare
thee
O
Lord
,
and
glorifie
thy
name
?
for
thou
onely
art
holy
,
and
all
nations
shal
come
and
worship
before
thee
,
for
thy
iudgments
are
made
manifest
.
The
Tabernacle
in
heauen
that
S.
Iohn
saw
open
,
is
the
Church
of
the
faithfull
,
which
by
preaching
opens
a
doore
for
all
,
by
beliefe
to
enter
into
the
kingdome
of
heauen
.
In
that
the
7.
Angels
with
the
vials
of
Gods
wrath
came
out
of
the
Tabernacle
,
to
wit
,
the
Church
,
it
sheweth
,
that
they
were
sent
at
the
prayers
of
the
faithfull
:
their
long
white
roabes
is
the
righteousnes
of
Christ
:
their
golden
girdles
signifie
the
gloriousnesse
and
purenesse
of
their
loue
to
God
and
his
children
,
for
loue
is
the
band
of
perfection
.
In
that
the
Angels
poure
out
the
vials
of
Gods
wrath
,
it
shewes
that
God
vseth
them
as
instruments
to
punish
the
wicked
:
and
though
Antichrist
is
and
shall
be
destroyed
by
men
,
they
are
but
the
instrumentall
cause
of
God
and
his
Angels
.

THe
first
,
second
&
third
plagues
are
,
that
there
fell
a
grieuous
and
noysome
sore
vpon
them
who
had
the
mark
of
the
Beast
and
worshipped
the
image
of
the
Beast
:
in
that
the
sea
and
waters
became
bloud
,
it
signifieth
that
many
of
them
should
be
slaine
.
These
seeme
to
prophesie
the
victories
that
the
Turks
,
&
other
the
Popes
enemies
,
haue
had
against
the
Papists
,
&
the
slaughters
they
haue
committed
vpon
them
,
which
was
the
iust
iudgement
of
God
,
as
appeares
ver.
5.
in
that
an
Angell
saith
,
Lord
thou
art
iust
,
because
thou
hast
iudged
these
things
;
for
they
shed
the
bloud
of
the
Saints
,
&
of
the
Prophets
,
therfore
hast
thou
giuen
them
bloud
to
drinke
,
for
they
are
worthy
.
And
another
Angell
said
,
Euen
so
Lord
God
Almighty
,
true
and
righteous
are
thy
iudgements
.
The
fourth
plague
poured
vpon
the
Sunne
,
seemes
to
bee
vpon
their
clergy
;
this
was
the
ouerthrow
of
the
Cardinals
,
Bishops
,
Abbots
,
Monks
,
Friers
,
Nuns
,
and
all
their
houses
and
dens
in
England
,
Scotland
,
&
other
reformed
countries
:
this
plague
tormented
them
with
heate
of
fire
,
and
made
them
boyle
in
great
heate
,
and
blaspheme
the
name
of
God
,
yet
they
repented
not
,
to
giue
God
glory
.
The
fist
viall
fell
vpon
the
throne
of
the
Pope
,
&
this
was
the
cutting
off
of
his
reuennues
,
which
were
infinite
out
of
all
countries
,
and
England
was
the
most
profitable
in
reuennues
vnto
the
Pope
of
all
countries
,
and
therefore
was
called
the
Popes
Asse
,
for
bearing
all
taxes
&
impositions
that
the
Popes
&
Cardinals
laid
vpon
it
;
but
now
the
Pope
is
faine
to
allow
maintenance
for
vpholding
of
Popery
in
al
countries
:
this
hath
wonderfully
darkned
the
brightnes
of
his
glory
and
kingdome
,
and
this
makes
them
gnaw
their
tongues
for
sorrow
,
and
to
blaspheme
the
God
of
heauen
for
their
paines
and
their
sores
,
and
yet
they
repent
not
of
their
works
.
The
sixt
plague
is
the
drying
vp
of
the
waters
of
Euphrates
,
that
the
way
of
the
Kings
of
the
East
should
be
prepared
:
this
is
an
allusion
to
the
destruction
of
the
temporall
Babilon
;
the
meaning
is
,
that
as
the
Medes
and
Persians
,
turned
the
Riuer
Euphrates
out
of
his
course
,
whereby
they
went
ouer
&
destroyed
Babilon
;
so
the
Lord
will
take
away
all
impediments
,
that
the
ten
King
domes
that
haue
hitherto
taken
part
with
the
Pope
,
may
destroy
Rome
the
spirituall
Babilon
,
as
the
Angell
interpreteth
it
in
the
next
Chapter
.
The
three
vncleane
spirits
that
came
out
of
the
mouth
of
the
Pope
,
for
now
the
Pope
is
the
Dragon
in
that
hee
is
aboue
the
Emperour
,
and
as
mighty
and
full
of
venome
,
and
as
ready
to
sting
and
poyson
Gods
children
as
any
Dragon
:
and
he
is
the
Beast
in
respect
of
his
beastly
conditions
,
and
the
false
witnesse
in
respect
of
all
his
false
doctrines
.
These
vncleane
spirits
are
the
Iesuites
,
for
they
are
sworne
at
the
Popes
command
to
goe
into
any
Countrey
and
spend
their
liues
for
the
vpholding
of
the
Popedome
;
these
are
the
rotten
pillers
which
proppe
vp
the
falling
tower
of
Babell
,
the
Popedome
;
they
are
called
three
,
in
respect
of
the
triple
diuision
of
the
Popes
Dominions
,
to
wit
,
into
the
land
,
the
sea
,
&
Riuers
.
They
are
compared
to
frogges
,
to
shew
they
doe
as
much
hurt
all
Countries
as
the
frogs
did
Egipt
,
and
they
are
as
lothsome
in
the
sight
of
God
and
men
,
as
frogs
are
in
our
sights
,
as
frogs
turne
all
things
that
they
eat
to
poyson
;
so
doe
they
all
Scriptures
to
the
poysoning
of
soules
,
and
their
study
is
nothing
but
treasons
,
poysonings
and
murders
of
protestant
Kings
,
Princes
,
and
Countries
,
but
according
to
this
Prophesie
,
at
the
time
that
God
hath
appointed
,
their
wicked
practises
shall
open
the
eyes
of
all
Kings
to
see
the
vildnes
and
horrible
wickednes
of
Antichrist
,
and
bee
prouoked
against
that
great
day
of
the
Lord
to
congregate
themselues
in
Arma
Geddon
,
which
may
be
interpreted
,
a
house
or
temple
falling
,
meaning
Rome
,
and
the
Popedome
,
being
now
ready
to
fall
.
The
seauenth
Angell
powreth
out
his
viall
into
the
ayre
,
that
is
,
sets
the
ayre
against
Antichrist
,
which
is
,
the
breath
of
Gods
Ministers
,
and
their
preachings
vexed
and
tormented
him
like
thunders
and
lightenings
,
and
shooke
the
Popedome
like
the
greatest
earthquake
that
euer
was
,
and
made
the
greatest
part
of
the
Popedome
to
fall
,
and
become
Protestants
,
which
the
Lord
be
praised
for
it
,
wee
see
already
to
bee
performed
:
and
their
preaching
was
like
vnto
the
greatest
hayle
that
euer
was
,
euery
haylestone
as
big
and
heauy
as
a
talent
weight
,
by
which
figuratiue
speeches
,
is
signified
the
vtter
destruction
of
Rome
,
as
the
Angell
interpreteth
it
saying
,
It
is
done
,
and
in
that
it
is
said
,
The
Citty
of
the
Nations
fell
,
and
great
Babilon
came
in
remembrance
before
God
,
to
giue
her
the
cup
of
the
fiercenesse
of
his
wrath
,
and
that
the
Iles
,
that
is
,
them
of
the
Iles
,
and
the
mountaines
,
that
is
,
the
great
ones
,
fled
away
,
that
is
,
departed
from
the
Popes
false
doctrines
.

IN
this
Chapter
an
Angell
sheweth
St.
Iohn
Rome
in
a
vision
,
and
interpreteth
all
the
hardest
things
to
bee
vnderstood
in
this
Reuelation
.
He
calleth
Rome
the
great
whore
that
sitteth
vpon
many
waters
,
and
sheweth
that
all
Kings
and
Nations
of
the
earth
are
drunken
with
the
wine
of
her
fornication
.
In
the
vision
,
Saint
Iohn
saw
a
woman
sit
vpon
a
skarlet
coloured
beast
full
of
names
of
blasphemy
,
which
had
seauen
heads
and
tenne
hornes
,
and
the
woman
was
arrayed
in
purple
and
scarlet
,
and
guilded
with
gold
,
precious
stones
,
and
pearles
,
and
had
a
cup
of
gold
in
her
hand
full
of
abominations
and
filthines
of
her
fornications
,
and
in
her
forehead
was
a
mystery
written
,
Great
Babilon
the
Mother
of
whoredomes
and
abhominations
:
and
the
woman
was
drunken
with
the
blood
of
Saints
and
martyrs
of
Iesus
,
and
he
wondred
with
great
maruell
,
then
the
Angell
told
Saint
Iohn
he
would
shew
him
the
mystery
thereof
.
The
Beast
which
thou
hast
seene
was
and
is
not
,
and
shall
ascend
out
of
the
bottomlesse
pit
,
and
shall
be
destroyed
,
and
all
that
are
not
written
in
the
booke
of
life
shall
wonder
at
it
,
that
hee
being
so
mighty
could
be
destroyed
:
this
Beast
is
the
Emperour
,
which
was
before
the
Reuelation
,
it
seemeth
at
the
time
thereof
the
Emperour
:
was
dead
and
no
other
then
chosen
,
and
the
Pope
should
ascend
out
of
the
bottomlesse
pitte
,
and
be
aboue
the
Emperour
,
and
for
all
his
greatnesse
yet
hee
shall
goe
into
perdition
.
The
Angell
declareth
the
seauen
heads
to
signifie
seauen
mountaines
wheron
the
Whore
sitteth
,
which
plainely
sheweth
the
Citty
of
Rome
to
bee
that
Whore
,
for
that
is
builded
vpon
seauen
Mountaines
,
and
so
is
no
other
Citty
.
Againe
,
the
Angell
interpreteth
the
seauen
heads
to
bee
seauen
Kings
,
that
is
,
seauen
kinds
of
gouernment
in
Rome
,
of
which
fiue
were
fallen
,
and
the
Idolatrous
Emperours
did
then
raigne
:
but
Constantine
should
quite
alter
the
gouernment
of
Rome
from
idolatry
to
Christianity
,
and
hee
and
the
Emperours
following
him
was
the
seauenth
King
,
and
the
Beast
in
this
vision
,
which
is
the
Pope
,
is
one
of
the
seauenth
gouernment
in
name
,
because
he
professeth
the
name
of
Christ
,
but
indeed
he
is
the
eighth
gouernment
;
for
hee
hath
quite
changed
the
gouernment
of
Rome
,
from
Christianity
to
Popery
.
The
Angell
interpreteth
the
ten
hornes
,
to
be
ten
Kings
which
at
the
time
of
the
Reuelation
had
not
receiued
a
kingdome
,
but
shall
receiue
power
at
one
hower
with
the
Pope
,
and
they
shall
be
all
of
one
minde
and
giue
their
power
and
authority
to
him
,
and
fight
with
Christ
,
but
hee
shall
ouercome
them
.
Then
the
Angell
interpreteth
the
waters
where
the
Whore
sitteth
to
signifie
people
,
multitudes
,
Nations
and
tongues
;
which
plainely
declareth
the
Citty
of
Rome
to
bee
the
Whore
;
for
no
Citty
from
Christ
to
this
day
hath
so
many
Countries
and
People
vnder
her
dominion
,
as
that
Citty
:
and
in
the
eighth
verse
,
the
Angell
interpreteth
the
woman
to
be
the
great
Citty
,
which
at
the
time
of
the
Reuelation
raigned
ouer
the
Kings
of
the
earth
,
and
then
was
the
Emperours
seate
there
.
In
that
the
woman
sitteth
vpon
a
scarlet
coloured
Beast
,
it
is
,
because
the
ordinary
attire
of
the
Pope
and
Cardinalls
is
scarlet
:
and
his
fulnesse
of
names
of
blasphemy
,
is
,
because
most
blasphemously
he
attributes
vnto
himselfe
all
Christs
names
.
In
that
Saint
Iohn
saw
the
woman
so
richly
arrayed
in
purple
,
scarlet
,
and
guilded
with
gold
and
precious
stones
,
and
pearles
;
thus
were
the
Popes
,
Cardinalls
,
Bishops
,
Prelates
,
Churches
and
Idolls
arrayed
,
and
doth
most
euidently
declare
that
these
Prophesies
are
of
Rome
.
The
golden
Cuppe
that
she
holdeth
in
her
hand
,
is
,
her
golden
name
that
shee
stileth
her selfe
withall
,
calling
her selfe
the
Catholique
Church
,
but
her
doctrines
which
shee
teacheth
,
are
filthy
and
abhominable
blasphemies
,
Idolatries
,
&
superstitions
,
which
are
the
wine
of
her
fornication
,
wherewith
shee
made
all
Nations
of
the
earth
drunken
,
and
shee
is
called
the
great
Whore
,
in
that
shee
is
departed
her selfe
,
and
hath
carried
so
many
from
Christ
our
Spowse
,
and
from
his
word
,
and
committed
fornication
with
the
Diuell
and
his
wicked
doctrines
,
and
for
this
cause
it
is
,
that
the
mystery
,
Great
Babilon
,
is
written
in
her
forehead
,
because
shee
is
the
mother
of
whordomes
and
abominations
of
the
earth
,
as
Babilon
was
.
If
there
were
no
other
note
wherby
it
might
bee
knowne
that
these
Prophesies
are
of
Rome
,
this
were
sufficient
to
declare
the
same
,
in
that
she
is
said
to
be
drunken
with
the
blood
of
Saints
and
Martyrs
of
Iesus
,
for
the
Romane
Gouernours
crucified
Christ
,
and
the
Romane
Emperours
made
the
tenne
persecutions
,
and
the
Romane
Popes
haue
slaine
more
Martyrs
&
Saints
of
Iesus
,
then
euer
were
slaine
in
the
world
before
.
The
Angell
telleth
vs
in
the
16.
verse
,
that
the
ten
Kings
which
did
with
one
consent
giue
their
Kingdomes
vnto
the
Pope
,
vntill
the
wordes
of
God
,
which
hee
foretold
were
fulfilled
,
are
they
that
shall
hate
the
Whore
and
make
her
desolate
,
and
naked
,
and
shall
eate
her
flesh
,
and
burne
her
with
fire
,
and
the
performance
heereof
is
contained
in
the
two
next
Chapters
.

18.
AN
Angell
from
Heauen
cryeth
mightily
with
a
loud
voyce
;
Babilon
that
great
Citty
,
it
is
fallen
,
it
is
fallen
,
and
nothing
shall
inhabite
there
but
Diuels
,
wilde
Beasts
,
and
foules
;
because
all
Nations
haue
drunken
of
the
wine
of
the
wrath
of
her
fornication
.
And
there
came
a
voyce
from
Heauen
,
saying
,
Goe
out
of
her
my
people
that
you
bee
not
pertakers
of
her
sinnes
,
and
that
you
receiue
not
of
her
plagues
,
rewarde
her
as
shee
hath
rewarded
you
,
giue
her
double
according
to
her
workes
,
because
shee
hath
glorified
her selfe
and
liued
in
pleasure
,
and
saith
in
her
heart
,
I
sit
being
a
Queene
,
and
am
no
widdow
,
and
shall
see
no
mourning
:
therefore
shall
her
plagues
come
at
one
day
,
death
,
and
sorrow
,
and
famine
,
and
she
shall
be
burned
with
fire
,
for
strong
is
the
Lord
God
which
will
condemne
her
.
And
the
Kings
that
haue
committed
fornication
with
her
,
and
the
Merchants
that
haue
beene
made
rich
by
her
,
and
euery
ship
Maister
,
and
all
that
occupie
ships
,
and
ship-men
,
shall
stand
a
farre
off
for
feare
of
her
torments
,
and
cry
when
they
see
the
smoake
of
her
burning
,
saying
,
What
Citty
was
like
to
this
great
Citty
?
and
they
shall
cast
dust
on
their
foreheads
,
and
cry
,
Alas
,
alas
,
the
great
Citty
,
wherein
were
made
rich
all
that
had
ships
on
the
Sea
,
by
her
costlinesse
;
for
in
one
hower
shee
is
made
desolate
.
O
heauen
reioyce
of
her
,
and
ye
holy
Apostles
and
Prophets
,
for
God
hath
giuen
your
iudgement
on
her
;
and
an
Angell
tooke
a
great
Mill-stone
and
cast
it
into
the
Sea
,
saying
,
With
such
violence
shall
the
great
Citty
Babilon
bee
cast
,
and
bee
found
no
more
,
and
there
shall
bee
no

CHAP.

IN
this
Chapter
is
declared
the
praysing
of
God
in
Heauen
and
Earth
for
the
finall
destruction
of
Antichrist
,
but
I
will
first
make
an
end
of
the
destruction
thereof
.
In
the
eleuenth
verse
Saint
Iohn
saw
Heauen
open
,
and
Christ
riding
vpon
a
white
horse
,
and
hee
was
called
faithfull
,
and
hee
that
iudgeth
and
fighteth
righteously
,
his
face
like
a
flame
of
fire
,
and
vpon
his
head
many
Crownes
,
hee
had
a
name
written
that
none
knew
but
himselfe
,
hee
was
cloathed
in
a
garment
dipped
in
blood
,
and
his
name
was
the
word
of
God
,
and
the
warriers
in
Heauen
followed
him
vpon
white
hories
;
these
are
the
Preachers
of
the
Gospell
,
their
pure
white
linnen
is
the
righteousness
of
Christ
:
out
of
his
mouth
wen●
a
sharpe
sword
that
he
might
smite
the
Heathen
,
for
hee
shall
rule
them
with
a
rodde
of
Iron
:
for
hee
it
is
that
treadeth
the
wine-presse
of
the
fiercenes
of
Gods
wrath
,
and
hee
hath
a
name
written
,
the
King
of
Kings
and
Lord
of
Lords
:
all
these
figuratiuespeeches
haue
beene
sufficiently
declared
heeretofore
.
And
an
Angell
cryed
to
the
fowles
of
Heauen
,
these
are
the
tenne
Kings
and
their
armies
,
to
gather
themselues
vnto
the
supper
of
the
great
God
,
to
eate
the
flesh
of
Kings
,
Captaines
,
and
of
mighty
men
,
and
of
horses
,
and
of
them
that
sit
on
them
,
and
of
free-men
,
and
of
bond-men
and
of
small
and
of
great
.
And
the
Pope
,
and
Kings
,
and
Warriours
gathered
themselues
together
,
to
make
Batraile
against
Christ
that
sate
vppon
the
Horse
,
and
his
Soldiours
;
but
the
Pope
the
false
Prophet
that
deceiued
them
that
receiued
his
marke
,
and
worshipped
him
,
these
were
aliue
cast
into
the
Lake
burning
with
fire
and
brimstone
,
and
the
remnant
were
slaine
with
the
sword
that
came
out
of
Christs
mouth
;
and
all
the
foules
were
filled
with
their
flesh
,
that
is
,
the
tenne
Kinges
,
and
their
Captaines
and
Soldiours
had
a
most
rich
and
full
booty
of
the
destruction
,
and
sacking
of
Rome
.
When
Rome
was
destroyed
,
Saint
Iohn
heard
a
great
voyce
of
a
great
multitude
in
Heauen
,
saying
,
Halaluiah
,
that
is
,
Praise
the
Lord
,
saluation
and
glory
and
honour
,
and
power
,
bee
to
the
Lord
our
God
,
for
true
and
righteous
are
his
iudgements
,
for
hee
hath
condemned
the
great
Whore
which
did
corrupt
the
earth
with
her
fornication
,
and
hath
auenged
the
blood
of
the
Saints
shed
by
her
hand
.
And
againe
,
they
said
Halaluiah
,
and
her
smoke
rose
vp
for
euermore
,
and
the
Elders
and
foure
Beasts
said
Amen
,
Halaluiah
:
Then
came
a
voyce
out
of
the
throne
,
saying
,
Praise
our
God
all
yee
his
seruants
,
and
a
great
voyce
as
of
many
waters
,
and
as
thunder
,
said
,
Halaluiah
;
for
our
Lord
God
Almighty
hath
reigned
,
let
vs
bee
glad
and
reioyce
,
and
giue
glory
to
him
,
for
the
marriage
of
Christ
is
come
,
and
his
wife
,
that
is
,
the
faithful
,
hath
made
herselfe
ready
.
This
sheweth
that
the
Gospel
shall
flourish
more
,
when
Rome
and
the
Popedome
is
destroyed
,
then
euer
it
did
:
And
to
Christs
wife
was
granted
that
shee
should
bee
cloathed
in
pure
fine
and
shining
linnen
,
that
is
,
in
Christs
righteousnesse
,
and
Saint
Iohn
was
bid
to
write
,
blessed
are
they
that
are
called
vnto
the
Lambs
supper
,
saying
,
These
words
are
true
.
Saint
Iohn
was
so
rauished
with
the
ioy
of
this
vision
,
that
hee
worshipped
the
Angell
that
shewed
it
;
but
hee
forbad
him
,
and
bad
him
worship
God
,
saying
,
I
am
but
one
of
your
brethren
,
which
haue
the
spirit
of
Prophesie
which
is
the
testimony
of
Iesus
.
CHAP.
20.
IN
this
Chapter
is
declared
the
history
of
Sathan
,
the
Authour
of
the
first
tenne
persecutions
:
but
when
as
Constantine
had
ouercome
those
persecuting
Idolaters
,
Saint
Iohn
seeth
in
a
Vision
,
that
God
bound
the
Diuell
for
a
thousand
yeares
,
that
is
,
from
generall
martyring
and
deceiuing
of
the
elect
and
chosen
Children
of
God
.
Yet
in
this
time
Sathan
brought
in
all
popish
blasphemies
,
Superstitions
and
Idolatries
,
and
grieuously
persecuted
those
that
stood
to
the
puritie
of
the
word
against
Antichrist
.
The
Seates
that
Saint
Iohn
saw
,
and
them
that
sate
vpon
them
,
was
Christ
and
the
faithfull
,
and
gaue
Iudgement
,
and
condemned
the
idolatrous
and
superstitious
Papists
,
who
these
thousand
yeares
persecuted
the
faithfull
.
And
Saint
Iohn
saw
the
soules
of
them
that
were
persecuted
for
the
witnesse
of
IESVS
,
and
the
word
of
GOD
,
and
did
not
worship
the
Pope
,
nor
had
taken
his
marke
on
their
fore-heads
,
or
on
their
hands
,
and
they
liued
and
reigned
with
Christ
.
To
arise
from
popish
errours
,
sinnes
and
superstitions
,
is
the
first
resurrection
;
on
such
the
second
death
shall
haue
no
power
,
but
they
shall
bee
the
priests
of
God
and
Christ
,
and
reigne
with
him
for
euer
.
After
the
Diuell
had
bin
bound
a
thousand
yeares
,
from
the
time
of
Constantine
,
as
an
Angell
in
the
first
Verse
had
the
key
of
the
bottomlesse
pit
,
and
bound
Sathan
,
then
the
Pope
had
the
key
of
the
bottomlesse
pit
,
to
loose
the
Diuell
,
as
appeareth
in
the
ninth
Chapter
,
and
when
hee
was
loose
,
hee
went
out
to
deceiue
the
people
in
the
foure
quarters
of
the
earth
.
Gogge
and
Magogge
,
that
is
,
the
open
and
the
secret
enemies
of
the
faithfull
,
which
are
in
the
ninth
Chapter
shewed
to
bee
the
Locusts
,
and
their
tayles
,
that
is
,
the
popish
Cardinals
,
Bishoppes
,
Abbots
,
Fryers
,
and
such
like
,
to
gather
them
together
to
battell
against
the
faithfull
,
and
the
number
of
them
was
infinite
as
the
sands
of
the
Sea
:
but
as
they
compassed
the
beloued
Citie
,
that
is
,
the
faithfull
,
fire
came
downe
from
heauen
and
deuoured
them
,
that
is
,
the
Lord
in
his
wrath
destroyed
the
popedome
;
and
the
Diuell
that
deceiued
them
,
and
the
Pope
the
false
prophet
,
were
cast
into
a
Lake
of
fire
and
brimstone
,
where
they
shall
bee
tormented
day
and
night
for
euermore
.
After
all
these
things
it
is
prophesied
that
Christ
shall
come
vnto
iudgement
,
sitting
vpon
a
great
white
throne
,
from
whose
face
fled
away
both
the
earth
and
the
Sea
,
and
their
place
were
no
more
found
.
And
Saint
Iohn
saw
the
dead
both
great
and
small
before
God
,
the
Bookes
were
opened
,
and
another
Booke
was
opened
,
which
is
the
Booke
of
life
,
and
the
dead
were
iudged
of
those
things
which
were
written
in
the
Bookes
:
this
is
a
Vision
according
to
our
capacitie
;
for
Gods
wisedome
is
his
Booke
,
whereby
hee
alwayes
seeth
all
things
that
euer
were
,
are
,
or
shall
bee
:
and
Death
and
Hell
,
that
is
,
the
Diuell
the
cause
of
them
,
were
cast
into
the
Lake
of
fire
,
which
is
the
second
death
,
and
so
were
all
that
were
not
found
written
in
the
Booke
of
life
.
CHAP.
21.
IN
these
two
last
Chapters
is
declared
how
flourishing
the
Church
shall
be
after
the
destruction
of
the
Popedome
vnto
the
end
of
the
world
.
This
is
declared
in
the
tenth
Chapter
and
the
second
Verse
.
In
that
Christ
is
said
to
set
one
foote
vpon
the
sea
,
and
the
other
vpon
the
land
,
that
all
Countries
shall
confesse
Christ
,
and
hee
shall
haue
of
his
elect
in
all
places
.
As
Mahomet
rose
iust
with
Antichrist
in
the
yeare
666.
so
no
doubt
but
the
example
of
the
destruction
of
Rome
and
the
Popedome
,
shall
make
the
Turkes
,
Iewes
,
and
them
of
other
Nations
,
to
become
Christians
.
This
is
declared
likewise
in
the
19.
Chapter
.
Let
vs
be
glad
and
reioyce
for
the
destruction
of
Rome
,
because
then
the
Lambs
wife
shall
be
made
ready
,
and
blessed
are
they
that
are
called
vnto
the
Lambes
Supper
.
In
that
there
shall
bee
then
a
new
heauen
,
meaning
the
Church
;
and
a
new
earth
,
meaning
temporall
gouernment
,
and
the
old
is
passed
away
,
it
sheweth
,
that
things
touching
the
Church
and
Common
wealth
shall
bee
wholly
ruled
according
vnto
the
Word
of
God
,
and
that
all
Popish
and
Iewish
lawes
which
are
contrary
to
the
Word
of
GOD
shall
bee
no
more
.
And
there
shall
be
no
more
sea
,
that
is
,
ignorant
and
vnconstant
men
carryed
away
with
euery
wind
of
false
doctrine
,
as
the
waues
of
the
sea
are
tossed
with
the
winde
.
Then
the
Church
shall
be
prepared
as
a
fit
Bride
for
Christ
her
husband
,
that
is
,
the
Tabernacle
of
God
shall
bee
with
men
,
and
GOD
shall
dwell
with
them
,
and
they
shall
bee
his
people
,
and
God
himselfe
shall
be
their
God
,
and
wipe
away
all
teares
from
their
eyes
,
and
there
shall
bee
no
more
death
,
sorrow
,
crying
or
paine
,
for
the
first
things
are
past
,
that
is
,
then
there
shall
bee
no
more
martyring
,
persecuting
,
mocking
,
blaspheming
and
deriding
of
Gods
Children
.
In
the
tenth
Verse
an
Angell
shewes
Saint
Iohn
a
Vision
of
the
glory
that
the
Church
then
shall
haue
.
In
that
it
is
called
a
great
Citie
,
it
shewes
what
a
great
number
shall
beleeue
:
in
that
it
is
called
holy
Ierusalem
,
it
declareth
the
holinesse
of
their
Faith
,
Hope
and
Loue
,
and
other
graces
:
the
descending
of
it
from
God
out
of
heauen
,
sheweth
that
God
from
heauen
,
shall
fill
her
with
the
riches
of
his
graces
:
and
shee
had
the
glory
of
God
,
which
made
her
shine
like
precious
stones
.
The
three
gates
on
euery
side
,
are
the
Trinitie
,
without
which
there
is
no
way
to
enter
into
the
Church
:
the
Angels
that
are
at
these
doores
,
are
the
Preachers
:
the
twelue
foundations
of
this
Church
,
is
Iesus
Christ
,
which
the
twelue
Apostles
haue
taught
vs
to
build
all
our
hope
vpon
:
in
that
the
three
gates
were
on
euery
side
of
the
Church
,
it
sheweth
that
the
doores
of
grace
shall
lye
open
,
and
the
Gospell
be
preached
vnto
all
nations
.
The
twelue
thousand
furlongs
,
the
length
,
the
bredth
,
and
the
height
of
it
,
haue
an
allusion
vnto
the
twelue
thousand
of
euery
Tribe
that
were
marked
for
God
in
the
seauenth
Chapter
:
the
wals
being
,
an
hundred
forty
foure
cubits
,
haue
an
allusion
vnto
the
hundred
forty
foure
thousand
,
the
whole
number
of
them
that
were
marked
of
all
Tribes
.
The
stones
of
the
wall
signifie
the
faithfull
:
in
that
they
are
precious
stones
,
it
is
by
reason
that
the
precious
righteousnesse
of
Iesus
Christ
is
imputed
vnto
them
,
and
of
their
precious
Faith
,
Hope
and
Loue
,
and
other
graces
giuen
them
of
Christ
.
In
that
they
are
a
wall
to
the
new
Ierusalem
,
that
the
Diuell
nor
any
vncleane
thing
can
come
into
it
,
is
declared
how
louingly
they
shall
ioyne
one
with
another
as
stones
in
a
wall
,
and
how
strongly
they
shall
support
one
another
,
to
expell
and
to
keepe
out
falshood
,
and
to
defend
the
truth
.
In
that
this
Citie
was
of
pure
gold
,
it
sheweth
the
puritie
of
their
Religion
,
without
any
drosse
of
superstitions
.
In
that
there
was
no
Temple
,
it
sheweth
,
that
they
shall
truely
serue
God
in
spirit
and
truth
,
and
Christ
shall
bee
their
Temple
,
in
whom
all
their
hearts
shall
meet
,
and
in
him
offer
all
sacrifices
of
prayer
and
praysing
of
God
,
and
of
good
workes
,
which
the
Lord
will
accept
for
his
Sonne
Iesus
Christ
his
sake
.
In
that
it
hath
no
neede
of
the
Sunne
nor
of
the
Moone
to
shine
in
it
,
the
holy
Spirit
shall
so
illuminate
their
vnderstandings
more
then
the
light
of
naturall
reason
can
teach
them
:
and
there
shall
be
no
night
:
for
where
the
spirit
of
God
is
,
there
is
no
darknesse
.
In
that
the
gates
shall
neuer
bee
shut
,
it
certifieth
,
that
none
that
come
with
a
liuely
faith
shall
bee
shut
from
Grace
,
and
that
Grace
shall
alwayes
bee
offered
.
In
that
the
glory
and
the
honor
of
the
Gentiles
shall
bee
brought
vnto
it
,
it
sheweth
that
the
Kings
and
chiefest
of
all
Countries
shall
beleeue
in
Christ
:
and
there
shall
enter
into
it
no
vncleane
thing
,
that
is
,
wicked
men
;
nor
whomsoeuer
worketh
abhomination
and
lyes
,
such
they
shall
hate
and
excommunicate
:
but
onely
such
shall
enter
as
are
written
in
the
Lambes
Booke
of
life
.
CHAP.
22.
THe
pure
riuer
of
water
of
life
,
like
Chrystall
,
proceeding
out
of
the
Throne
,
is
the
doctrine
of
the
Gospell
of
Iesus
Christ
;
whosoeuer
drinketh
of
him
shall
neuer
thirst
for
any
other
meanes
of
saluation
:
their
thirst
shall
bee
so
fully
quenched
in
him
,
that
they
shall
alwayes
reioyce
in
their
saluation
.
Hee
is
the
tree
of
life
,
whosoeuer
eateth
of
him
with
a
liuely
Faith
shall
haue
eternall
life
,
and
he
shall
neuer
hunger
,
that
is
,
doubt
thereof
.
Christ
alwayes
is
fruitfull
,
and
the
leaues
of
his
righteousnes
shall
heale
the
imperfections
and
diseases
of
the
faithfull
in
all
nations
.
There
shall
bee
no
curse
,
but
the
throne
of
God
and
the
Lambe
shall
be
amongst
the
faithfull
,
and
they
shall
be
his
seruants
and
serue
him
,
and
they
shall
see
his
face
,
and
his
name
shall
be
written
in
their
foreheads
,
that
is
,
they
shall
not
bee
ashamed
to
confesse
his
name
,
and
they
shall
reigne
for
euermore
,
that
is
,
in
the
world
to
come
.
Then
S.
Iohn
concludes
the
truth
of
these
Prophesies
by
the
Angels
testimony
and
his
owne
:
and
lastly
,
hee
bringeth
in
Iesus
Christ
speaking
for
the
testimony
of
the
truth
hereof
;
I
Iesus
haue
sent
mine
Angell
to
testifie
these
things
in
the
Churches
,
I
am
the
roote
and
generation
of
Dauid
,
the
bright
morning
Starre
.
The
Spirit
&
the
Bride
exhort
men
to
come
to
me
,
and
let
euery
one
that
heares
exhort
men
to
come
to
mee
;
and
let
all
that
thirst
,
and
will
take
of
the
water
of
life
freely
,
come
:
for
I
protest
that
who
so
shall
adde
any
thing
to
this
Booke
,
God
will
adde
to
him
the
plagues
written
in
this
Booke
:
and
if
any
diminish
of
the
words
hereof
,
God
will
take
away
his
part
out
of
the
Booke
of
life
,
and
the
holy
Citie
:
he
that
testifieth
these
things
saith
,
Surely
I
come
quickly
,
Amen
,
Euen
so
Lord
Iesus
.
The
grace
of
our
Lord
Iesus
be
with
vs
all
,
Amen
.
