And
are

the

earnestly
(

in

perswading

we

,

That

which
was
spoken
by

Prophets
,
&c.
This
Prophesy
is
accomplished
in
the
Reformed
Preachers
,
most
punctually
;
assuredly
then
,
the
truth
and
intent
of
the
Prophesy
,
aymed
at
them
,
and
intended
them
:
dissolue
me
this
riddle
yee
Pontificialls
,
either
you
for
your selues
,
or
(
in
your
behalfe
)
some
of
your
fauourites
,
I
meane
newtralizing
Interim-ists
;
pretended
Pacificatours
,
but
in
truth
Romes
subdolous
factours
!
It
cannot
bee
denied
(
our
Aduersaries
will
say
)
but
that
the
Preachers
of
the
Reformed
Churches
,
haue
pretended
to
feare
God
,
giue
him
glory
,
and
worship
him
alone
;
neither
can
it
be
denied
,
but
that
they
are
frequent
in
their
inuectiues
against
Rome
Popish
,
as
against
Babilon
;
and
withall
that
they
doe
detest
,
and
diswade
all
manner
of
communion
,
with
the
Pope
and
with
the
Church
of
Rome
,
neither
can
it
be
denied
that
vpon
such
their
preachings
,
effects
answ●●●able
to
their
pretences
haue
followed
,
falls
and
defections
of
diuerse
States
&
Kingdomes
from
the
Pope
;
yet
for
that
they
mistake
their
marke
,
in
inueighing
against
our
Holy
Father
the
Pope
(
Christs
Vicar
)
insteed
of
Antichrist
;
barking
against
the
Church
of
Rome
,
(
which
is
the
most
chast
Spouse
of
Christ
,
)
as
against
the
Beasts
throane
and
seate
;
here
hence
it
is
,
that
we
deseruedly
account
them
as
fore-runners
of
Antichrist
,
but
not
any
rank
or
order
of
Godly
Preachers
,
fore-signified
by
these
three
Angells
:
so
Bristow
,
so
Harding
,
Feare
God
,
giue
him
glory
and
worship
him
alone
;
there
is
no
name
giuen
vs
vnder
heauen
for
saluation
,
but
the
name
of
Iesus
,
and
of
the
Lambe
.
If
we
had
no
other
Feare
God
,
giue
him
glory
,
and
worship
him
alone
;
and
for
that
they
summe
there
is
no
name
giuen
vs
vnder
heauen
by
which
we
must
be
saued
but
the
name
of
Iesus
;
Iesus
that
Lambe
,
which
solely
and
alonely
,
taketh
away
the
sinnes
of
the
world
.
Thus
haue
wee
by
a
breefe
examination
of
the
inscription
(
our
first
generall
part
)
made
a
doore
of
entrance
,
for
the
laying
open
of
those
great
mysteries
and
difficulties
,
which
lie
hid
and
couered
in
our
second
part
,
the
Hypothesis
and
supposition
which
(
the
Spirit
of
God
inabling
,
)
wee
shall
now
indeauour
to
lay
open
,
and
declare
.
If
any
one
worship
the
Beast
,
and
his
Image
,
and
receiue
HErein
consists
the
greatest
(
I
may
say
all
)
difficulty
of
our
Text
,
not
in
respect
of
the
persons
,
against
whom
the
Supposition
is
made
;
for
the
Hypothesis
being
vniuersall
and
indefinit
,
(
If
any
)
it
includes
all

excludes
none
;
All

Emperours

Kings

Princes

Nobles

Gentles

Peoples
,
Young

Rich

all

If
any

worship
the
Beast
,
and
the
Image
of
the
Beast
;
or
receiue
his
marke
in
hand
,
or
on

,
they
shall
surely
drinke
of
the
wine
of
Gods
wrath
:
neither
is
their
any

to
declare
the
sense

the
word
worship

If

thou

reueale
this
mistery

vs

Here
we
first
obserue
by
the
way
(
and
I
desire
your
attention
)
the
feuer-trepidation
,
and
ignorance
of
certaine
prime
Ignatian
&
other
Pontifician
Rabbies
;
who
,
fearing
the
true
mysticall
sense
of
this
place
,
doe
(
again
stall
antiquitie
,
and
their
owne
tenents
)
hold
themselues
to
the
very
letter
of
the
prophecie
;
affirming
,
that
the
followers
of
Antichrist
shall
be
compelled
to
adore
and
worship
,
a
true
reall
beast
;
and
a
true
reall
Image
of
a
Beast
;
(
wee
must
interprete
them
of
a
Beast
hauing
so
many
heads
and
hornes
with
Diadems
theron
,
as
is
described
by
the
Prophet
)
and
also
,
that
they
shall
be
their
hands
,
or
on
their
foreheads
.
Which
their
subterfuge
while
I
deliuer
,
doe
yee
smile
at
their
follies
?
or
frowne
at
their
impudencies
?
or
bewaile
their
obstinacies
?
Perhaps
you
will
rather
admire
,
what
may
be
the
reason
,
why
they
flie
to
so
doting
an
interpretation
;
which
if
they
doe
,
then
bee
pleased
to
take
the
reason
thereof
to
be
this
.
Many
Doctors
and
Pastors
of
the
reformed
Churches
(
so
also
his
Excellent
Maiestie
,
in
his
Premonition
to
Christian
Princes
)
doe
verily
obiect
against
the
Pope
and
his
,
that
by
the
adoration
of
the
Beast
,
and
the
Image
of
the
Beast
,
and
by
the
taking
of
the
Beasts
marke
in
the
hand
,
or
on
the
forehead
,
is
most
liuely
(
in
a
true
mysticall
sense
)
typed
forth
Papall
Antichristian
State
,
with
the
answerable
practises
thereof
;
of
their
adoring
the
Popes
Person
with
Diuine
and
religious
adoration
;
of
their
Soule-subiection
to
him
,
in
the
vorie
tye
and
band
of
supernaturall
faith
,
and
sacred
obedience
to
his
damnable
lawes
,
and
forged
traditions
:
so
that
,
as
in
a
true
sense
it
may
bee
an
Article
of
Faith
(
yea
the
forme
and
ground
of
all
their
faith
)
in
that
Church
,
Wee
beleeue
our
holy
Father
the
Pope
;
so
it
may
bee
likewise
a
new
principle
of
religious
worship
with
them
;
Wee
adore
and
worship
our
Holy
Father
the
Pope
:
and
as
for
their
taking
of
diuers
superstitious
markes
,
of
communion
,
vnder
him
in
their
hands
and
foreheads
,
what
more
manifest
?
as
wee
shall
anon
most
fully
declare
.
Now
the
Pontificians
,
to
auoid
this
grieuous
imputation
sticking
so
close
to
their
sides
)
knowing
for
certaine
,
that
not
any
of
their
Popes
euer
as
yet
,
erected
any
such
reall
Beast
,
or
reall
Image
of
Beast
(
as
is
described
by
Saint
Iohn
)
to
bee
adored
and
worshipped
;
hauing
so
many
heads
and
like
a
Leopard
;
hauing
the
feete
of
a
Beare
,
and
the
mouth
of
a
Lion
:
Againe
,
they
knowing
for
certaine
,
that
their
Popes
as
yet
neuer
compelled
their
followers
to
receiue
any
rcall
markes
by
inustion
,
or
incision
,
in
their
hands
,
or
vpon
their
foreheads
:
Here
hence
it
is
,
that
they
are
so
strongly
addicted
,
to
the
litterall
interpretation
of
this
prophecie
,
of
a
reall
Beast
,
of
a
reall
Image
,
and
of
the
reall
adoring
and
worshipping
of
the
same
;
together
with
the
receiuing
of
reall
markes
of
the
Beast
,
by
incision
or
by
inustion
,
in
their
hands
,
or
on
their
foreheads
.
But
O
the
vanity
of
this
so
doting
an
interpretation
!
How
verified
against
Man
being
in
honour
,
hath
not
vnderstood
,
hee
hath
beene
compared
with
the
beasts
,
and
been
made

them
.
For
against
this
their
vanitie
,
many
contrarieties

impossibilities

absurdities
doe
concurre

Contrarieties

wicked
State

Contrariety

they
all

that
Antichrist

Fathers
euer
dreamed
of
this
your
conceite
of
such
reall
beasts
,
markes
,
inustions
,
or
incisions
?
True
it
is
somefew
,
but
those
not
very
antient
,
as
Primasius
and
Ansbertus
haue
affirmed
,
that
the
marke
of
the
Beast
shall
bee
composed
of
Antichrists
mystery
of
iniquity
,
shall
be
a
pretensed
mistery
,
vnder
the
very
name
of
Christ
;
A
very
Vice-gerency
in
the
stead
and
place
of
Christ
;
the
very
thing
,
which
the
Pope
arrogantly
assumes
to
himselfe
;
that
which
his
flatterers
doe
attribute
vnto
him
;
that
,
for
which
all
the
world
admires
after
him
.
Thus
haue
wee
laid
open
and
refuted
the
interpretation
of
our
Aduersaries
,
wee
come
now
to
declare
the
true
sense
of
these
words
.
I
pray
againe
,
O
thou
God
,
who
art
the
reuealer
What
the
Beast
is
,
&
that
a
very
State
&
wicked
Empire
is
thereby
signified
.
they
are
,
who
they
are
.
If
any
one
adore
the
Beast
,
and
the
Image
of
the
Beast
,
&c.
IF
wee
compare
Scripture
with
Scripture
(
the
best
rule
and
surest
way
for
interpretation
;
)
then
agreeing
to
the
interpretation
of
all
the
Ancients
,
wee
shall
find
,
that
as
in
Daniel
,
by
the
foure
beasts
arising
from
out
of
the
Sea
,
were
signified
the
foure
Monarchies
of
the
world
;
the
Assirian
,
Persian
,
Grecian
,
and
the
Roman
:
so
likewise
here
,
by
the
beast
arising
out
of
the
Sea
,
with
such
a
varietie
of
hornes
,
heads
,
and
diadems
;
wee
are
to
vnderstand
some
Prime
or
Principall
State
,
or
Empire
(
hauing
either
successiuely
or
ioyntly
different
formes
of
Gouernment
)
to
be
presignified
and
fore-shewed
:
Pontifician
Rabbies
themselues
,
yea
Bellarmine
(
their
Hercules
)
acknowledgeth
it
for
very
probable
,
that
the
Apocalipticall
beast
,
with
so
many
heads
,
hornes
,
and
diadems
,
doth
signifie
the
Roman
State
,
with
their
seuerall
formes
of
Gouernment
;
yea
and
that
by
one
of
the
heads
is
signified
,
the
most
wicked
and
execrable
State
of
Antichrist
himselfe
.
Thus
haue
wee
found
,
what
is
typed
by
the
beast
;
if
then
we
will
resolue
,
the
Hypothesis
and
supposition
,
it
is
thus
:
If
any
one
worship
the
beast
;
that
is
,
if
any
one
worship
and
acknowledge
the
State
of
Antichrist
,
&c.
But
What
the
Image
of
the
Beast
is
.
—
what
is
the
Image
of
this
Beast
,
which
is
likewise
forbid
,
vnder
most
fearefull
punishment
,
to
bee
worshipped
and
adored
?
The
Image
of
any
thing
,
must
bee
a
speciall
resemblance
,
of
that
wherof
it
is
an
Image
;
If
perfect
and
naturall
,
it
must
from
the
presence
of
Satan
,
for
the
dissipation
and
destruction
of
the
Church
;
Wee
may
(
I
say
)
take
them
,
for
perfect
images
(
because
of
like
nature
)
and
also
representing
the
absolute
,
sacred
Monarchy
of
their
Holy
Fathers
the
Bulls
,
Constitutions
,
Clementines
,
Decretalls
,
or
Extrauagants
;
or
finally
that
,
which
the
Painter
,
Statuary
,
or
Gold-Smith
,
performes
in
painting
,
caruing
,
or
casting
of
the
Popes
sacred
Tiare
,
or
Triple-crowne
:
by
which
sacred
Tiare
,
or
triple
Crowne
,
is
represented
vnto
vs
,
a
liuely
image
of
the
Papall
Pope
Boniface
)
that
euery
humane
Creature
be
subiect
;
nay
,
(
ipso
facto
)
in
very
deede
,
to
bee
subiect
to
such
his
power
;
but
euery
one
out
of
necessitie
of
saluation
,
must
further
beleeue
,
that
all
others
,
euen
euery
humane
Creature
,
is
subiect
thereunto
.
O
presumption
!
it
is
not
enough
,
for
a
man
in
himselfe
to
bee
ipso
facto
,
by
very
deed
subiect
to
the
Pope
,
to
giue
vnto
him
his
Soule
and
Conscience
,
in
faith
and
obedience
;
but
hee
must
further
professe
and
beleeue
(
with
a
diuine
faith
)
all
the
body
of
Christianitie
to
bee
subiect
vnto
him
.
Loe
how
Supereminent
his
Monarchie
is
vpon
earth
;
exalting
himselfe
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
ouer
all
that
which
is
called
God
;
or
which
is
called
Augustum
,
sacred
.
Now
his
power
ouer
Hell
(
for
Purgatory
is
in
the
suburbs
of
Hell
)
signified
by
the
third
and
last
of
his
triple-crownes
,
is
so
sacred
and
so
absolute
;
that
hee
can
fasten
vpon
base
creatures
(
Graines
and
Meddalls
)
such
a
sauing
power
,
and
efficacie
,
that
whosoeuer
shall
vse
the
same
;
with
such
conditions
as
by
his
fatherhood
are
prescribed
;
hee
shall
thereby
,
deliuer
soules
(
more
or
fewer
)
out
of
the
flames
of
their
imagined
purgatory
.
Loe
how
Pape
,
a
word
of
wonder
,
comes
from
Papa
the
worlds
wonder
.
Thus
haue
we
expressed
,
what
is
meant
by
the
Beast
,
and
contrarieties
,
impossibilities
,
and
absurdities
,
if
I
should
but
onely
dreame
of
a
corporall
marke
to
bee
ingrauen
by
incision
,
or
to
be
burnt
by
inustion
(
as
the
fashion
of
men
is
to
do
with
their
cattell
)
Antichristian
State
(
for
contraries
are
of
the
same
kinde
)
bee
some
sacrilegious
ceremonies
,
or
sacraments
.
Againe
,
agreeing
to
truth
;
because
such
markes
,
being
required
as
necessary
for
allowed
commerce
in
the
Antichristian
State
;
most
meete
,
that
they
should
be
answerably
taken
,
like
to
other
markes
of
humane
societie
and
communication
.
Agreeing
to
truth
;
because
they
being
taken
,
as
markes
of
a
continued
religious
(
or
rather
superstitious
)
worship
,
by
repetition
Lastly
,
most
agreeing
to
the
truth
,
for
if
the
name
of
the
the
number
of
the
name
of
the
Beast
,
bee
not
by
reall
characters
,
to
bee
written
in
the
hands
,
or
vpon
the
foreheads
of
Antichrists
followers
(
as
it
is
most
manifest
,
and
our
Aduersaries
deny
not
)
but
only
mystically
to
be
taken
,
for
that
they
shall
bee
either
called
after
his
name
,
or
after
the
number
of
his
name
:
for
example
,
●ither
Papists
after
the
name
Papa
,
(
a
name
which
Gregory
the
seuenth
decreed
should
be
peculiar
to
the
Popes
alone
)
or
else
Latines
or
Romanes
,
after
the
number
Thus
by
Gods
gracious
assistance
,
it
resteth
proued
,
what
the
Beast
is
,
to
weet
,
a
flagitious
state
of
Gouernment
,
set
vp
against
that
of
Christ
,
though
pretended
to
bee
the
very
same
with
that
of
Christ
himselfe
,
as
hereafter
wee
shall
proue
more
fully
.
It
resteth
also
proued
,
what
the
Image
of
this
Beast
is
,
A
scelerate
and
idolatrous
representation
of
the
same
,
either
by
a
like
subordinate
state
vnto
it
;
or
else
by
some
other
similtudinary
meanes
,
as
is
aboue
expressed
:
and
lastly
it
resteth
proued
,
what
the
taking
of
the
beasts
marke
in
the
hand
or
forehead
is
,
to
weet
,
An
impious
acknowledgement
,
and
adoration
of
the
Antichristian
State
,
by
some
superstitious
rite
,
sakerment
or
ceremony
taken
in
hand
or
forehead
:
and
yet
the
greatest
difficultie
and
obscurity
remaines
behind
;
which
now
comes
to
bee
cleared
and
opened
by
vs
:
to
weet
,
vpon
what
forme
of
Gouernment
now
vpon
earth
,
may
we
fasten
so
grieuous
an
imputation
?
Is
this
wicked
State
and
forme
of
Gouernment
,
yet
come
or
are
we
to
looke
for
it
?
O
thou
innocent
Lion
,
who
hast
the
key
of
Dauid
,
who
openest
and
no
man
shutteth
,
vnseale
vnto
vs
the
secret
of
this
thy
sacred
mysterie
!
For
the
cleering
of
this
great
difficulty
,
wee
must
suppose
Ordinances
of
God
;
and
that
all
ciuill
subiection
(
out
of
conscience
)
yeelded
to
such
powers
,
is
expresly
required
by
God
;
yea
so
stricktly
,
that
whosoeuer
shall
deny
the
same
,
Secondly
,
I
suppose
,
that
the
Antichristian
State
heere
Hereout
,
I
thirdly
suppose
;
that
the
Antichristian
State
In
the
fourth
place
I
suppose
;
that
the
Antichristian
State
,
shall
not
onely
pretend
a
spirituall
power
(
typed
by
the
hornes
of
a
Lamb
)
but
also
an
vniuersall
(
direct
or
indirect
)
temporall
power
:
For
he
shall
speake
like
the
Dragon
,
and
consequently
shal
with
infinite
afflictions
vexe
those
,
who
adhering
to
the
doctrines
of
the
Preachers
,
typed
by
These
most
true
suppositions
(
which
with
an
infinitie
of
testimonies
,
and
reasons
might
be
confirmed
)
being
Articles
of
the
Church
of
England
,
That
the
Bishop
of
Rome
hath
no
iurisdiction
in
the
Realme
of
England
:
Premonions
to
Christian
Princes
)
then
it
will
follow
vnuoidably
,
that
all
his
challenge
for
iurisdiction
within
the
Realme
of
England
,
is
arrogancie
and
presumption
.
This
my
imputation
I
will
not
endeauour
to
proue
,
by
enumetating
an
infinitie
of
their
blasphemous
superstitions
and
lawes
against
the
Maiestie
of
God
,
the
glory
of
his
Sonne
,
and
the
honour
of
his
Tabernacle
(
the
true
vniuersall
Catholike
Church
of
Christ
)
but
I
will
onely
doe
it
(
Gods
holy
Spiiit
enabling
mee
)
by
certaine
generall
demonstrations
,
drawne
from
the
consideration
of
the
very
proper
conditions
of
the
Antichristian
State
it selfe
;
partly
laid
downe
in
my
former
suppositions
,
but
most
fully
in
the
Booke
of
God
,
whereunto
for
breuitie
sake
I
will
only
point
my
religious
Audience
.
First
then
I
argue
thus
:

hornes
of
the
Lamb
,
though
in
truth
it
shall
speake
like
the
Dragon
:
Againe
,
this
State
must
bee
not
a
proclamed
impudencie
of
Iniquitie
;
but
it
must
bee
a
mystery
of
Iniquity
,
a
pretensed
semblance
of
Christian
Sanctitie
:
A
State
so
full
of
subtiltie
,
and
pretending
the
name
of
Christ
,
euen
to
the
doing
of
miracles
,
and
such
miracles
that
the
very
Elect
shall
bee
in
danger
to
be
seduced
.
It
must
also
be
a
State
ruling
and
sitting
in
the
Temple
of
God
,
that
is
in
the
visible
Churches
of
God
(
so
certaine
of
the
Fathers
)
pretending
therein
(
in
Gods
stead
)
to
haue
power
ouer
the
verie
soules
and
consciences
of
the
faithfull
:
yea
,
and
therein
to
haue
(
in
Gods
stead
)
a
power
dispensatiue
ouer
all
the
Lawes
of
God
;
ouer
all
powers
ordained
by
God
;
ouer
all
that
is
sacred
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
all
Maiestie
whatsoeuer
.
And
are
not
these
,
and
euery
of
these
conditions
,
most
properly
appliable
to
the
present
Papall
Roman
State
?
onely
and
solely
to
the
Papall
State
?
It
alone
pretends
to
w●are
the
Lambs
hornes
,
and
to
bee
an
absolute
Vice-gerencie
for
Christ
:
It
alone
requires
that

Shee
alone
,
works
in
so
powerfull
and
subtill
a
manner
(
pretending
Christs
power
)
miracles
done
in
his
name
,
that
thereby
shee
(
drawing
to
her
band
a
whole
multitude
of
Inhabitants
of
the
earth
)
hazards
the
soules
of
the
very
elect
;
so
that
they
are
in
danger
to
be
seduced
.
Thus
our
first
proofe
;
and
yet
here
I
must
not
omit
to
note
,
that
though
the
Papall
State
,
pretends
the
Lambs
hornes
;
that
is
,
to
be
Christs
absolute
and
sole
Vice-gerent
:
yet
notwithstanding
,
it
speakes
like
the
Dragon
;
How
,
speakes
like
the
Dragon
?
For
that
it
persecutes
with
Sword
,
Fire
,
and
Fagot
(
as
the
Dragon
did
)
all
those
who
cleaue
only
to
the
Lambe
;
for
their
saluation
hoping
only
Roman
Emperours
?
and
doth
hee
not
now
persecute
vs
for
the
very
same
in
the
Roman
Fathers
Pope-Emperours
?
It
is
the
testimony
of
Iesus
:
Iesus
onely
,
Iesus
solely
,
which
the
Dragon
persecuted
by
the
old
Emperours
;
and
it
is
the
same
testimony
of
Iesus
,
which
the
Dragon
persecuteth
in
these
Roman
Fathers
:
The
Roman
Emperours
,
would
not
haue
Iesus
alone
to
be
honoured
,
against
their
Idoll-Gods
;
And
these
Holy
Fathers
,
will
not
haue
Iesus
alone
,
to
bee
acknowledged
&
beleeued
to
saluation
without
their
Godlings
,
nor
to
bee
onely
heard
for
direction
,
without
their
Traditions
.
Because
we
will
acknowledge
nothing
,
nor
will
beleeue
no
other
necessary
for
saluation
,
but
Iesus
,
onely
Iesus
:
This
is
that
very
testimony
,
against
which
the
Dragon
now
speaketh
in
the
Roman
Fathers
,
and
persecuteth
in
vs
,
with
the
extremitie
of
Fire
,
Sword
,
and
Faggot
.
My
second
reason
I
frame
thus
;
The
state
Antichristian

of
Earth
;
not
with
ciuill
and
humane
adoration
onely
;
but
with
a
kissings
of
his
feet
,
from
all
the
faithfull
Inhabitants
of
the
Earth
.
Loe
,
how
that
of
the
Prophet
is
accomplished
,
That
the
whole
earth
admired
after
the
Beast
.
This
reason
I
confirme
with
the
words
of
Odoard
Guilliand
,
Bishop
of
Cas●n●●
Popes
.
A

hee

the
middest
of
Heauen
,
and
hauing
the
euerlasting
feare
and
worship
of
God
alone
,
and
keeping
of
his
commandements
,
and
consequently
,
were
to
beat
downe
all
manner
of
Idolatry
and
Wilworship
reared
vp
against
the
same
:
were
againe
in
the
second
place
,
to
sound
out
the
ruine
and
desolation
of
that
State
;
and
consequently
,
were
to
check
the
insolent
confidence
of
her
followers
and
Admirers
,
glorying
in
her
euer
infallibility
and
indefectibilitie
:
And
lastly
,
were
in
the
third
place
,
to
dehort
from
all
manner
of
communion
with
that
state
;
and
agreeingly
were
to
teach
all
true
Christians
to
detest
the
marks
and
characters
of
that
State
.
And
is
not
this
the
very
selfe-Gospel
of
Reformation
,
which
the
Pastours
and
Doctours
of
the
Reformed
Churches
doe
now
sound
out
against
the
Papall
State
,
yea
and
(
according
to
the
prediction
of
the
Prophets
)
to
the
begun
ruine
of
the
Papall
State
?
This
reason
Here
is
the
faith
and
patience
of
Saints
;
here
are
those
,
who
keepe
the
commandements
of
God
,
and
the
faith
of
Iesus
.
Blessed
are
those
,
who
dye
in
the
Lord
,
who
dye
for
the
Lord
;
From
henceforth
saith
the
Spirit
,
they
shall
rest
from
their
labors
.
Heare
all
yee
,
that
haue
eares
to
heare
,
what
the
Spirit
of
God
saith
to
the
Churches
.
For
,
is
not
this
the
very
thing
,
which
is
now
,
and
hath
formerly
beene
acted
in
the
world
?
Doe
not
the
Pastors
and
Doctors
of
the
Reformed
Churches
,
and
other
faithfull
,
suffer
for
this
very
cause
?
for
that
they
sound
out
publikely
the
doctrines
of
the
three
Angells
;
the
Euerlasting
Gospell
?
of
the
feare
of
God
alone
?
of
the
ruine
and
fall
of
Babylon
?
of
the
State
of
the
Beast
?
and
against
the
taking
of
the
markes
and
characters
of
the
Beast
in
hand
or
on
forehead
?
and
from
whom
,
or
by
whose
meanes
do
they
suffer
for
such
things
,
but
from
the
Papall
state
?
What
Inquiries
are
made
after
them
?
What
hideous
Inquisitions
are
reared
for
them
?
What
Crosse-warres
haue
beene
proclaimed
against
them
?
Aske
our
Fathers
of
old
in
France
,
Italy
,
Germany
,
Spaine
,
England
,
Denmarke
,
Scotland
,
Burgandy
,
and
where
not
?
Our
Aduersaries
the
Pontificians
cannot
deny
this
,
it
being
the
very
desire
of
their
Fathers
and
of
their
owne
soules
.
Let
it
then
rest
proued
,
that
the
principle
prophecie
against
the
State
of
the
Beast
,
being
accomplished
in
the
Papall
State
,
that
the
Papall
State
is
the
very
State
of
the
Beast
.
And
so
I
adioyne
a
fourth
reason
thus
.
That
is
,
the
Antichristian
State
(
typed
by
the
Beast
,
and
The
Papall
State
hath
done
out
of

heads
thereof
)
which
was
in
the
very
gouernment
of
Rome
it selfe
,
to
succeed
the
Roman
temporall
Empire
:
So
diuers
of
the
Ancient
Fathers
,
Austen
,
Hierom
,
Lactantius
,
Tertullian
,
with
others
haue
affirmed
:
vnto
which
Antichristian
State
also
,
ten
Kings
(
a
number
certaine
for
an
vncertaine
)
springing
out
of
the
ruines
of
the
Roman
Empire
,
were
for
a
time
to
giue
their
powers
(
for
the
honouring
and
supporting
of
her
)
and
yet
afterwards
(
forsaking
her
)
would
bend
their
forces
against
her
(
God
,
putting
the
same
into
their
hearts
)
to
make
her
desolate
,
and
consume
her
with
fire
.
And
is
not
this
the
very
Papall
State
it selfe
,
succeeding
in
the
Gouernment
and
Empire
ouer
Rome
,
the
Roman
Temporall
Empire
?
For
in
Rome
who
knowes
not
,
that
it
is
reputed
no
lesse
crime
then
le-so-Sanctitie
,
to
affirme
the
Emperours
(
that
are
now
)
to
haue
ought
to
doe
therin
,
independently
from
the
Pope
?
or
that
they
haue
any
Emperiall
Soueraignty
ouer
Rome
:
no
,
no
,
in
the
faith
of
the
Pope
and
his
,
Imperator
Presens
,
the
present
Emperour
is
but
Homo
ligius
Papae
:
A
liege
deuout
seruant
to
the
Pope
.
Againe
,
to
too
apparent
it
is
,
that
those
Kings
and
Kingdoms
,
into
which
the
temporal
Roman
Empire
(
vpon
her
ruine
)
was
diuided
,
did
(
the
Dragon
putting
the
same
into
their
hearts
)
yeeld
and
submit
their
powers
and
crownes
vnto
the
Papall
State
,
for
the
support
of
the
same
:
And
is
it
not
most
manifest
,
that
the
said
Kings
and
Kingdomes
(
God
putting
the
same
into
their
hearts
)
haue
alreadie
begun
to
hate
the
Papall
State
,
to
make
it
desolate
,
&
to
consume
it
with
the
fire
of
the
zeale
of
Gods
glory
and
truth
,
God
grant
they
continue
the
same
vnto
the
end
:
but
should
any
States
or
Kingdomes
which
haue
begun
in
the
spirit
decline
to
the
flesh
,
yet
shall
they
neuer
bee
able
to
make
frustrate
and
void
Gods
infallible
and
ineuitable
decree
,
of
the
vtter
ruine
and
fall
of
the
Autichristian
State
,
euen
as
of
a
milstone
cast
into
the
bottomlesse
Sea
,
whereof
there
remaineth
The
Antichristian
State
,
is
that
State
which
was
to
haue
mysticall
Babylon
;
mysticall
Babylon
that
Great
Citie
which
is
situated
vpon
seuen
Hills
:
that
which
in
S.
Iohns
time
had
rule
and
command
ouer
the
Kings
of
the
Earth
;
that
Citie
which
was
to
be
a
whore
make
drunke
with
the
cup
of
her
abominations
(
pretending
to
bee
the
sole
mother
of
Christianitie
)
all
the
Kings
and
Kingdomes
of
the
Earth
;
that
Citie
which
was
to
be
ruddy
with
the
bloud
of
Saints
,
those
Saints
which
were
to
suffer
for
the
testimony
of
Iesus
,
I
interpret
for
the
sole
faith
of
Iesus
,
as
the
onely
meanes
of
saluation
.
That
Citie
which
Mystery
written
in
her
forehead
,
full
of
mysteries
;
professing
mysteries
;
making
mysteries
:
That
Citie
which
was
with
honour
,
riches
,
and
glory
to
inrich
and
make
glorious
all
her
Louers
and
Admirers
,
the
Inhabitants
of
the
Earth
.
And
are
not
all
these
things
most
punctually
accomplished
in
the
Papall
State
?
I
need
not
to
repeat
nor
to
make
any
particular
application
;
but
I
say
againe
,
and
againe
,
are
not
all
these
things
,
with
all
other
such
like
(
fore
prophecied
by
the
Spirit
of
God
,
against
the
Antichristian
State
)
fulfilled
and
accomplished
in
the
Papall
State
,
which
hath
its
residence
in
Rome
,
its
Throne
and
See
in
Rome
,
&c.
Some
of
our
Aduersaries
(
that

for

and
in
his
sermon
vpon
the
conuersion
of
S.
Paul
,
hee
complaineth
;
that
the
whole
Church
of
Christianity
(
so
I
interpret
)
seemed
to
haue
conspired
against
God
;
yea
so
conspired
,
that

(
saith
hee
)
that

,
but
the

;
which
is
not
onely
transformed
into
an
Angell
of
light
,
but
is
extolled
aboue
all
that
is
called
God
,
or
that
is
worshipped
.
Thus
hee
;
where
I
cannot
but
note
,
that
Bernard
vsing
the
phrase
of
the
Apostle
,
that
Antichrist
(
in

of
the
excesse
of
impieties
and
abominable
iniquities
)
was
shortly
to
bee
reuealed
,
shortly
to
bee
reuealed
;
I
cannot
,
I
say
,
but
note
how
that
Bernard
did
think
,
that
Antichrist
and
his
state
,
did
then
worke
powerfully
and
rage
tirannously
;

Thus
hee
(
with
more
to

purpose
)
describeth
the
beastialitie
of

Papall
State

Can
you
desire
more
,
or
will
you
require
more
?
And
thus
haue
wee
,
by
euidencie
of
Scripture
,
and
other
venerable
authoritie
,
fastned
vnuoydably
the
Antichristian
State
and
Gouernment
vpon
the
Pope
of
Rome
,
and
his
purpured
brethren
;
and
thereby
also
haue
I
shewed
the
vanitie
of
his
ambitious
claime
of
supremacie
ouer
this
Church
and
Kingdome
;
for
no
one
point
is
more
Antichristian
in
him
,
then
his
vsurped
claime
of
supremacy
;
and
for
my
part
,
I
am
of
opinion
(
and
I
dare
vndertake
very
probably
to
confirme
the
same
)
that
whosoeuer
denies
the
Pope
to
be
Antichrist
(
that
sonne
of
perdition
,
who
sitteth
in
the
Temple
of
God
)
may
iustly
bee
suspected
,
to
fauour
his
most
ambitious
claime
of
supremacie
;
this
I
meane
of
those
who
vnderstand
themselues
,
and
the
extent
of
these
termes
;
the
Papall
State
,
Antichristianity
,
Papall
Supremacie
,
Roman
Monarchy
,
&c.
For
further
confirmation
,
of
this
our
principall
point
in
hand
,
I
could
produce
more
proofe
,
or
Grounds
and
Principles

reasons

from

of

yea
,
from
out
of

of

Peter
,
and
holy
Iude
;
and
from
out
of

:
more

there
are
very

in
the
approued
predictions
of

which
may
not
most
probably
(
if
not
euidently
)
bee
settled
vpon
the
Papall
State
,
either
the
head
or
members
thereof
:
but
that
which
hath
beene
deliuered
,
may
suffice
for
the
euidencie
of
this
truth
,
especially
with
the
brightnes
of
his
comming
,
by
the
Spirit
of
his
mouth
,
(
that
is
,
by
the
preaching
of
the
Gospel
in
the
dayes
of
reformation
,
when
that
of
the
Reuelation
shall
bee
accomplished
,
Oportet
te
iterum
,
&c.
Thou
must
againe
prophecie
to
Nations
,
Peoples
,
Tongues
,
and
many
Kings
.
)
the
Spirit
of
God
hath
(
I
say
)
foretold
,
that
Antichrist
shall
bee
dissipated
and
ruinated
,
by
the
brightnesse
of
his
comming
,
and
the
Spirit
of
his
mouth
:
and
yet
these
men
dare
dreame
of
Christian
vnion
,
and
brotherly
consociation
betwixt
those
,
whom
the
Spirit
of
God
doth
thus
disunite
and
dissociate
;
here
,
by
a
perfect
hate
,
diuiding
each
from
other
,
and
in
the
world
to
come
by
casting
the
Beast
and
his
Admirers
,
into
the
lake
of
euer
burning
fire
and
brimstone
;
and
by
taking
vp
to
the
supper
and
ioyes
of
the
Lamb
,
those
,
who
haue
here
happily
followed
the
Lamb
in
all
things
,
and
haue
also
suffered
for
the
testimonie
of
Iesus
the
Lamb.
Now
come
we
to
declare
,
how
the
Papall
State
compelleth
all
her
followers
,
to
take
certaine
impious
markes
in
their
hands
,
and
likewise
on
their
foreheads
:
without
which
they
may
not
bee
allowed
,
to
buy
or
sell
,
in
that
State
.
If
any
one
receiue
the
marke
of
the
Beast
,
either
in
his
hand
or
in
his
forehead
.
FOr
declaration
of
this
point
(
according
to
my
vse
,
and
that
I
may
the
better
bee
vnderstood
)
I
suppose
these
mysticall
ceremonies
,
taken
in
the
hands
,
or
on
the
foreheads
:
whereby
the
Takers
are
marked
for
deuoted
Seruants
of
the
Beast
.
Secondly
I
suppose
,
that
no
Hereticall
,
Arrian
,
Nestorian
,
Pelagian
,
or
of
any
other
forme
whatsoeuer
,
since
the
dayes
of
Christ
,
did
euer
cause
and
compell
their
followers
to
take
any
speciall
markes
(
specializing
their
heresies
or
infidelities
)
reall
or
ceremoniall
in
their
hands
,
or
on
their
foreheads
(
thereby
to
professe
a
Soule-allegiance
to
the
whole
forme
of
their
sect
and
superstition
)
saue
onely
the
Papall
State
.
Thirdly
I
suppose
,
that
whereas
it
is
said
that
those
,
Fourthly
,
I
suppose
,
that
this
totall
exclusion
from
all
These
things
supposed
,
how
manifest
is
it
,
that
all
Professours
of
the
Papall
State
,
doe
receiue
in
their
hands
,
or
on
their
foreheads
,
some
ceremonious
marke
of
obedience
and
profession
,
which
if
they
contemne
to
doe
,
they
are
reputed
in
that
state
as
Of-casts
,
not
to
be
admitted
to
oyle
consecrated
(
I
should
say
execrated
)
by
Papall
Charmes
?
wherby
the
same
is
become
so
sacred
,
that
the
very
presence
Chrisma
salutis
,
The
very
crisme
of
saluation
,
I
signe
thee
(
saith
the
Bishop
)
with
the
signe
of
the
Crosse
;
and
I
confirme
thee
,
with
the
crisme
of
saluation
,
in
the
name
of
the
Father
,
and
of
the
Sonne
,
and
of
the
Holy
Ghost
.
And
may
wee
not
here
iustly
exclaime
against
such
sacriledgies
?
Father
,
Sonne
,
and
Holy
Ghost
,
(
and
this
in
a
sacramentall
manner
for
remission
of
sins
)
In
the
name
of
the
Father
,
&c.
but
for
that
,
they
(
holding
naturall
water
not
to
be
sufficient
,
nor
fit
matter
of
the
Sacrament
)
doe
make
a
magicall
and
superstitious
commixtion
of
water
and
oyles
together
:
first
of
the
holy
oyle
alone
(
so
they
call
it
)
secondly
,
of
crisme
alone
;
and
thirdly
of
crisme
and
oyle
together
.
Thus
they
abuse
the
sacred
Sacrament
of
Christ
,
and
with
such
charmed
and
commixt
waters
and
oyles
,
they
marke
all
their
followers
in
their
foreheads
.
Concerning
the
Papalls
taking
of
the
Beasts
marke
in
their
hands
,
I
first
passe
by
(
because
it
is
not
generally
of
them
all
)
the
superstitious
vnction
,
which
their
Deacons
and
Priests
(
at
their
taking
of
Orders
)
doe
take
into
their
false
Christs
,
false
anointed-ones
:
This
marke
(
I
say
)
I
passe
by
.
The
first
marke
that
I
note
,
is
that
their
taking
in
their
hands
(
for
it
is
common
to
them
all
)
the
marke
of
their
superstitious
woodden
or
siluer
I
call
them
blasphemous
Agnus-deyes
,
for
that
they
hold
the
same
,
Depellere
omne
malignum
,
to
driue
away
all
euil
,
yea
,
Peccatum
frangere
,
&c.
to
breake
and
destroy
sin
,
as
the
bloud
of
Christ
,
yea
there
is
no
good
which
they
they
do
●ot
bring
,
no
euill
which
they
doe
not
remoue
;

Crosses
,
their
Graines
,
Beads
,
Medalls
;
but
aboue
all
,
their
most
blasphemous
Agnus-deyes
(
all
markes
,
because
marked
with
some
superstitious
forme
or
other
)
whereby
they
acknowledge
,
a
sacred
Soueraignty
in
the
Pope
and
his
Antichristian
State
:
a
Soueraigntie
on
earth
,
by
the
vse
of
such
superstitious
trumpery
to
remit
all
sins
,
with
a
most
full
and
plenary
pardon
;
a
Soueraigntie
in
the
heauens
,
by
the
vertue
of
such
superstitious
ceremonies
to
open
heauen
gates
,
therein
to
admit
all
the
superstitious
receiuers
of
such
marks
:
A
Soueraignty
within
the
bowels
of
the
earth
,
thence
to
fetch
out
,
from
out
of
their
imagined
Purgatory
poor
patient
soules
,
more
or
fewer
,
according
as
it
shall
seeme
expedient
,
to
the
superstitious
Blesser
,
or
rather
Charmer
of
the
said
superstitious
markes
:
And
may
not
these
bee
iustly
reputed
Antichristian
markes
?
markes
,
because
really
such
;
markes
,
because
mystically
such
;
distinguishing
betwixt
Popery
and
Christianity
?
Antichristian
,
for
what
more
Antichristian
,
then
to
tie
remission
of
sins
,
the
opening
of
heauens
gates
,
the
deliuering
of
poore
patient
soules
out
of
Purgatory
,
to
the
superstitious
vse
of
such
contemptible
creatures
?
hauing
no
other
vertue
of
sanctification
in
them
,
then
what
the
charme
of
Papall
breath
may
presume
to
haue
giuen
them
?
O
impietie
of
impieties
!
a
man
dying
,
if
hee
haue
one
of
these
Papall
markes
of
graines
,
or
meddals
,
&c.
in
his
handes
,
if
hee
can
but
say
,
Iesus
in
his
heart
,
hee
shall
assuredly
haue
a
plenary
pardon
Papal

and
remission

all

:
but
if
hee
want
,
or
haue
no
such
graine
,
then
no
such
assurance
:
so
they
rather
blaspheme
,
then
affirme
.
Again
,
another
Antichristian
marke
taken
in
the
hand
,
in
the
Papall
State
,
I
note
this
:
That
then
,
when
those
of
that
Synagogue
,
are
made
Catechumens
(
which
to
speake
ordinarily
they
must
bee
before
they
bee
baptized
)
the
Priest
must
put
into
their
right
handes
the
signe
of
the
Crosse
;
which
signe
or
marke
of
the
Crosse
,
I
doe
not
by
Trade
tibi
signaculum
Domini
nostri
Iesu

in
manu

,
vt
te

&
aduersam

&
in

,
&
habeas

,
&

I
deliuer
thee
in
thy
right
hand
,
this
signe
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
that
thou
mayst
signe
thy selfe
,
driue
away
the
aduerse
part
(
the
deuill
)
that
thou
mayst
perseuere
in
the
Catholike
faith
,
mayst
haue
life
euerlasting
,
and
liue
for
euer
and
euer
.
Here
(
to
answere
an
obiection
by
the
way
)
we
may
not
thinke
,
that
the
Papall
State
,
may
bee
cleered
from
the
iust
imputation
of
Antichristianisme
,
for
that
together
with
their
vaine
vnctions
,
and
charmed
oyles
,
in
their
pretended
Sacraments
,
or
Sacramentalls
(
as
they
speake
)
they
doe
ioyne
the
name
of
the
Father
,
Sonne
,
and
Holy
Ghost
;
or
for
that
they
doe
call
on
the
mercies
of
God
;
or
for
that
they
doe
withall
vse
the
signe
of
the
Crosse
:
no
,
no
,
this
will
not
serue
the
turne
;
for
it
is
most
certaine
(
by
expresse
testimonie
of
Scripture
)
that
the
Antichristian
State
,
must
be
a
mystery
,
not
an
impudencie
of
Iniquitie
:
A
State
so
ruling
very
Elect
will
be
in
danger
to
bee
seduced
:
A
circumstance
so
plaine
,
and
so
important
;
that
to
mee
,
they
seeme
no
lesse
then
to
dote
,
who
affirme
that
Antichrist
shall
deny
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
;
for
what
danger
of
seducing
to
the
Elect
,
where
Christ
is
flatly
denied
?
No
,
no
,
the
Antichristian
State
will
pretend
to
be
the
very
hornes
of
the
Lamb
;
a
very
Vice-gerency
instead
of
Christ
,
and
such
in
truth
is
the
Genuine
signification
of
the
word
and
all
the
Greek
Lexicons
.

the

,
it
signifieth
both
one
in

also
one
most
opposite
to
Christ
;
and
such
a
one
indeed
shall
Antichrist
be
:
He
shall
pretend
to
come
in
the
name
of
Christ
,
and
yet
shall
hee
be
most
opposite
to
Christ
,
euen
to
the
vtter
perdition

The
Magicians
,
Witches
,
and
Coniurers
call
vpon
the
name
of
God
,
vse
Crosses
,
both
materiall
and
transions
,
yea
the
Papall
Artotheos
God
in
bread
.
Though
the
Magicians
(
as
it
is
most
certaine
)
though
Witches
(
as
it
is
a
thing
knowne
)
though
Coniurers
(
a
thing
likewise
cleere
)
doe
vse
to
call
vpon
the
name
of
God
,
and
the
holy
Trinity
in
their
abominable
practises
;
though
they
vse
frequent
and
often
crossings
,
yea
can
doe
(
in
some
businesse
)
nothing
without
crosses
;
though
they
haue
many
materiall
crosses
,
sacred
oyles
,
hallowed
waters
,
yea
the
Papalls
owne
Christ
in
the
Hosts
;
which
they
doe
vse
and
abuse
in
their
most
execrable
exercises
:
yet
I
hope
,
no
Intelligent
Papall
will
deny
,
but
that
such
their
practises
may
be
iustly
called
abominable
,
flagitious
,
and
of
the
deuill
:
though
in
them
(
I
say
)
they
vse
often
crosses
,
crossings
,
with
recrossings
;
yea
,
with
adoring
of
their
consecrated
Hosts
,
and
callings
vpon
the
name
of
the
Father
,
Sonne
,
and
Holy
Ghost
,
and
of
the
holy
Angels
,
and
of
the
blessed
Virgin
her selfe
:
Why
then
,
shall
wee
bee
doubtfull
to
call
these
practises
of
Popery
Antichristian
,
though
they
adioyne
to
their
fopperies
and
impieties
,
the
Inuocation
of
the
name
of
God
,
and
though
they
vse
therein
the
signe
of
Crosse
:
Beast
:
Antichristian
,
because
deliuered
(
in
the
name
of
Christ
)
as
efficacious
for
temission
of
sinne
,
for
increase
of
grace
,
for
defence
against
Satan
;
hauing
for
the
same
end
,
no
institution
nor
command
from
Christ
:
Antichristian
,
because
perswading
vs
to
looke
for
remission
of
sinnes
,
otherwise
then
by
the
bloud
of
Christ
:
Antichristian
,
because
drawing
our
confidence
from
Christ
,
and
placing
it
in
the
seruile
vse
of
contemptible
creatures
:
Concluding
this
point
,
I
answer
an
obiection
,
which
thus
may
bee
made
.
The
marke
of
Antichrist
,
is
but
one
,
but
taken
in
hand
and
forehead
(
either
ioyntly
or
seuerally
)
it
insinuates
the
markes
to
bee
more
then
one
;
and
this
is
agreeing
to
the
interpretation
profession
by
mouth
;
by
the
marke
in
the
hand
some
publike
act
of
obedience
,
or
some
profession
by
oath
,
by
laying
downe
,
lifting
vp
,
or
putting
forth
hand
or
finger
:
But
what
neede
wee
to
respect
the
Authoritie
of
men
,
when
as
the
Scripture
it selfe
tells
vs
(
explicating
it selfe
)
that
no
man
shall
bee
allowed
hath
not
either
the
marke
of
the
Beast
,
or
the
name
of
the
Beast
,
or
the
number
of
his
name
:
Loe
here
,
not
one
,
but
three
;
except
we
shall
not
distinguish
that
,
which
the
Holy
Ghost
hath
so
distinguishedly
deliuered
vnto
vs
:
or
that
the
name
of
the
Beast
,
or
the
number
of
his
name
,
shall
not
be
expressed
by
some
ceremonious
misticall
marke
,
either
of
denomination
or
profession
;
of
denomination
to
be
called
Latines
or
Romans
,
after
the
number
of
the
name
;
or
by
profession
to
professe
the
Italike
Church
,
or
to
bee
called
Papists
after
the
Beast
,
Papa
,
or
some
such
like
.
I
say
Papists
after
the
name
of
the
Beast
:
for
since
the
decree
of
Gregory
the
seuenth
,
cleere
it
is
that
Papa
is
arrogated
as
a
name
peculiar
to
the
Pope
,
and
doth
significantly
expresse
the
Now
come
we
in
few
words
to
declare
,
how
that
no
man
who
wanteth
such
markes
,
as
are
aboue
expressed
,
either
to
buy
or
sell
(
so
our
Prophet
speaketh
)
within
the
State
of
the
Popes
Dominions
.
A
most
fearefull
calamitie
,
denoting
an
vniuersall
Apostacie
and
defection
;
designing
also
the
state
of
the
true
Church
,
for
the
whole
time
of
Antichrists
reigne
,
to
be
obscure
,
vnuisible
,
&
vnconspicuous
,
as
being
not
allowed
any
manner
the
very
selfe-yoke
of
the
Exactor
,
and
of
that
oppression
,
which
by
the
Pope
,
i●
laid
vpon
all
Persons
whatsoeuer
,
who
refuse
or
contemne
the
markes
aboue
expressed
?
Let
our
Aduersaries
(
a
most
fit
name
for
the
Papists
)
shewvs
,
if
they
can
,
any
State
,
Kingdome
,
or
Common-wealth
(
where
the
Papall
Canons
are
not
limited
,
or
moderated
by
the
Temporall
Magistrate
)
in
which
any
man
or
person
,
may
be
permitted
either
to
buy
or

(
that
is
,
to
haue
any
peaceable
commerce
or
societie
at
all
)
who
refuseth
or
contemneth
the
aboue-expressed
markes
.
What
else
,
but
refusall
and
contempt
of
the
said
markes
(
since
the
absolute
reigne
of
Popes
,
in
the
Temple
of
decaied
Christianitie
)
hath
caused
so
many
commotions
and
subuersions
of
States
and
Kingdomes
?
What
else
,
hath
beene
the
Lake
and
Head
of
so
many
fearefull
hideous
massacres
?
of
such
immane
disquisitions
,
and
Inquisitions
?
That
the
Papall
State
,
is
the
very
State
of
the
Beast
:
My
interpretation
and
exposition
then
,
of
this
Text
,
in
this
place
,
and
at
this
time
,
may
not
come
vnwelcome
,
which
commeth
countenanced
,
by
such
an
Authoritie
;
Great
is
Truth
,
and
is
will
preuaile
.
And
so
a
few
words
of
our
last
Part
,
the
dreadfull
threat
,
and
denuntiation
of
Gods
wrath
,
against
the
followers
and
Admirers
of
the
Beast
.
The
same
shall
drinke
of
the
wine
of
Gods
wrath
,
which
is
HEnce-from
we
must
learne
a
lesson
of
instruction
,
to
lay
to
our
hearts
,
and
to
fixe
in
our
remembrances
,
this
fearefull
denuntiation
of
the
Angel
,
against
all
those
,
who
shall
either
worship
the
Beast
,
or
the
Image
of
the
Beast
;
or
who
shall
receiue
the
Beasts
marke
,
either
in
their
hands
,
or
on
their
foreheads
;
that
they
shall
drinke
,
of
the
wine
of
Gods
wrath
,
which
is
powred
out
without
mixture
,
in
the
cup
of
his
indignation
;
and
that
they
shall
be
termented
for
euer
,
with
fire
and
brimstone
,
in
presence
of
the
holy
Angells
,
and
of
the
Lamb.
And
who
is
not
awaked
?
moued
?
yea
,
astonished
to
heare
such
a
thunder
?
to
obserue
such
a
storme
?
A
thunder
,
arising
from
the
breath
of
Angels
,
of
the
Lamb
,
and
of
Gods
owne
mouth
:
A
storme
,
not
of
fire
alone
,
but
of
fire
and
brimstone
;
not
a
nights-storme
,
but
an
euer-during
storme
,
powred
from
out
of
the
cup
,
of
Gods
heauiest
wrath
and
indignation
:
What
more
dreadfull
;
what
more
to
bee
dreaded
?
O
religious
cares
,
and
Christian
hearts
,
let
the
feare
of
these
things
,
teach
vs
to
put
on
a
spirit
of
resolution
and
constancy
,
against
the
charmes
and
deceitfull
sorceries
,
of
all
the
subdolous
Hellens
,
Sinons
,
and
Circeyes
they
goe
out
of
Babylon
;
that
they
adore
neither
the
Beast
,
nor
the
Image
of
the
Beast
;
neither
doe
take
his
marke
in
their
hands
,
or
vpon
their
foreheads
:
but
for
others
,
who
sway
and
beare
Staues
and
Swords
of
Magistracy
;
who
sit
in
the
Chaire
of
Prelacy
,
if
these
(
God
hauing
put
into
their
hearts
to
haue
preached
,
and
to
haue
written
against
the
Whore
:
if
these
doe
not
endeauour
(
to
the
vtmost
of
their
powers
)
to
make
her
desolate
?
What
else
shall
remaine
for
them
,
but
a
fearefull
expectation
of
Gods
iust
iudgement
,
together
with
the
Beast
,
to
drinke
of
the
Cup
of
his
indignation
and
of
the
dregs
of
the
Violls
of
his
fury
?
I
say
not
this
,
as
though
any
Christian
Magistrate
may
not
suffer
any
peaceable
professours
of
the
Antichristian
State
to
liue
(
yea
to
liue
peaceably
)
within
the
precincts
of
his
dominions
:
not
so
;
for
wee
cannot
but
thinke
,
that
Arrian
Bishops
)
required
of
Athanasius
,
that
the
Arrians
might
be
allowed
Most
willing
(
said
he
)
vpon
this
condition
,
that
the
Orthodoxe
may
haue
one
Church
allowed
them
at
Antioch
:
which
his
answer
,
though
that
measure
:
wherewith
they
would
haue
others
measure
vnto
themselues
.
And
who
is
hee
,
if
he
be
perswaded
that
truth
is
with
vs
Protestant
States
and
Kingdomes
,
that
our
Aduersaries
the
Papists
,
might
bee
allowed
two
Churches
and
two
Priests
,
vpon
this
condition
,
that
in
like
Cities
and
Towns
(
number
for
number
)
of
any
Popish
Kingdomes
,
or
States
;
the
Protestants
and
sincere
Christians
might
bee
allowed
but
one
Church
and
one
Minister
.
This
option
,
though
it
may
seeme
vnequall
(
two
against
one
)
for
as
it
is
in
the
prouerb
,
Not
Hercules
against
two
;
yet
sure
I
am
(
so
great
euer
is
the
diffidence
of
Hereticks
,
and
feare
of
those
that
are
false
)
that
they
will
neuer
giue
their
assent
therunto
:
which
being
so
,
what
a
vanitie
were
it
to
thinke
,
that
our
Aduersaries
,
shall
euer
bee
able
to
preuaile
by
the
way
of
truth
?
No
,
no
,
where
they
haue
not
the
meanes
of
promotion
,
nor
teeth
of
Leuiatham
,
and
power
of
the
Sword
in
their
hands
,
there
they
are
very
feeble
and
weake
;
except
it
bee
vpon
some
wanton
and
instable
persons
(
laden
with
sinne
)
who
thinke
that
to
be
a
most
facill
religion
,
which
teacheth
dames
and
maides
,
men
and
boyes
,
to
disburden
their
loaded
soules
into
a
Priests
lap
;
to
confesse
and
to
bee
absolued
,
and
then
all
to
bee
cock-sure
:
for
,
say
they
,
the
Priests
sentence
on
earth
,
is
also
ratified
in
the
very
heauens
;
yea
,
though
the
sentence
bee
giuen
,
wel-nigh
in
the
very
heat
of
the
sinne
;
yea
more
,
in
the
gilt
of
cankeriated
and
seared
consciences
,
prepared
and
ready
to
returne
(
as
the
dog
to
the
vomit
)
to
the
same
sinne
againe
.
How
vaine
to
thinke
,
that
our
Aduersaries
,
shal
be
euer
able
to
preuaile
by
the
way
of
truth
,
when
as
their
fingers
neuer
cease
(
by
additions
,
detractions
,
and
immutations
)
to
corrupt
(
they
say
to
correct
)
Ancient
Authors
?
when
as
they
dare
not
suffer
any
of
theirs
to
read
any
of
our
a
conscience
of
their
own
weaknesse
?
On
the
contrary
,
Truth
goeth
on
so
confident
(
like
a
Lion
)
and
couragious
,
in
all
Protestant
States
,
or
most
of
them
;
that
welnigh
an
infinitie
of
Popish
Authors
are
therein
permitted
;
and
yet
,
notwithstanding
such
an
infinite
libertie
(
which
confirme
and
settle
solid
minds
,
then
moue
or
shake
them
.
Thus
much
haue
wee
noted
of
their
bookes
tolerated
:
but
(
to
adde
a
few
words
for
your
instruction
)
where
(
in
any
State
Protestant
)
it
may
happen
any
Ignatians
,
or
other
Popish
Priests
and
Friers
to
bee
tolerated
,
or
conniued
at
;
what
is
the
primest
and
onlyest
weapon
and
meanes
,
by
which
they
vse
to
negotiate
Soules
,
and
to
draw
seduced
fooles
,
into
their
net
of
perdition
:
surely
,
it
is
fraudulent
latencie
and
seerecie
;
to
worke
in
secret
,
not
suffering
them
,
whom
they
assault
(
if
possibly
they
may
bee
so
perswaded
)
to
make
knowne
their
attempts
,
to
any
of
our
learned
Doctors
and
Pastors
.
Carbo
,
contesting
and
opposing
That
in
Silla
hee
fought
both
against
Fox
and
Lion
,
yet
that
hee
feared
more
from
the
Fox
,
then
from
the
Lion
:
Our
Contestation
and
opposition
,
being
against
these
our
most
deuoted
Enemies
(
Roman
Sillas
)
we
are
in
them
to
oppose
both
against
Fox
and
Lion
,
yet
(
in
my
opinion
)
we
may
iustly
feare
,
more
from
the
Fox
,
then
from
the
Lion
:
I
meane
,
more
from
their
craftie
subtilty
;
then
from
their
open
hostilitie
and
imm●nitie
.
Amongst
all
the
subtilties
of
the
Fox
,
his
hole
is
the
primest
;
Amongst
all
the
subtilties
of
the
Ignatians
,
Friers
and
Monkes
(
where
the
publike
face
of
religion
is
nor
theirs
,
but
they
may
onely
happen
to
be
tolerated
or
conniued
at
)
no
one
for
being
subdolo●●
workmen
,
they
shun
nothing
more
then
the
light
:
)
so
aboue
all
things
they
endeauour
,
that
the
perswasions
which
they
vse
,
to
draw
any
from
the
truth
,
may
be
secret
,
latent
,
and
not
knowne
:
If
then
,
the
wisdome
of
any
Protestant
State
,
should
(
for
some
high
respects
)
thinke
it
aliqualiter
corruptam
,
in
somewhat
corrupted
:
These
,
these
Sinoes
yee
must
by
all
means
auoid
,
for
howsoeuer
they
seeme
to
bee
ours
,
yet
they
are
not
in
truth
of
vs
;
but
are
ready
to
goe
out
of
vs
,
driuen
by
any
blast
of
discontent
,
or
allured
by
any
gayle
of
promotion
,
and
that
wee
haue
now
more
such
amongst
vs
,
it
ariseth
from
the
vanitie
of
false
hopes
and
expectations
.
And
yet
let
mee
not
here
bee
mistaken
,
in
that
which
I
so
resolutely
affirme
against
the
saluation
of
Papists
;
or
of
their
being
in
the
state
of
saluation
:
This
I
affirme
,
not
of
or
against
all
,
but
against
wilfull
vnrelenting
and
vnrepentant
Papists
.
For
no
doubt
can
be
made
,
but
that
in
the
Popish
Church
,
there
are
and
haue
bin
diuers
(
which
if
wee
will
speake
properly
,
and
according
to
the
nature
of
termes
,
wee
may
not
call
Papists
)
who
(
ignorant
of
the
altitudes
of
the
Beast
,
or
not
obstinately
wedded
thereunto
)
are
in
the
way
of
saluation
:
but
I
say
of
such
,
that
they
are
in
the
Popish
Church
,
though
not
of
the
Popish
Church
,
and
that
they
suck
onely
,
the
good
which
is
in
that
Church
;
but
haue
a
reluctancie
against
the
errours
and
superstitions
;
against
the
immanities
and
presumptions
of
the
Beast
,
and
of
his
State
.
If
any
one
aske
mee
,
how
this
can
bee
so
:
my
answere
is
very
facill
;
for
that
in
that
Church
,
there
is
the
Creed
of
the
Apostles
;
there
are
the
holy
Scriptures
(
though
partly
corrupted
)
why
then
shall
it
bee
thought
impossible
,
for
many
in
that
Church
,
to
professe
the
holy
Creed
in
its
true
sense
?
and
to
imbrace
so
much
of
the
holy
Scriptures
(
in
the
true
sense
)
as
is
necessary
to
saluation
?
And
as
for
practise
,
most
certaine
it
is
,
that
diuers
in
that
Church
,
neither
adore
their
Images
;
nor
their
God
in
bread
;
nor
greatly
heed
praying
to
Saints
;
nor
the
Popes
Supremacie
;
nor
Purgatory
flashes
,
with
such
like
:
and
as
for
Papall
Pardons
,
Graines
,
Meddalls
,
Agnus-deyes
(
with
such
like
trumperies
)
they
doe
both
scorne
and
detest
them
,
though
for
feare
of
the
Pharisies
they
dare
not
so
professe
.
Of
these
and
such
like
,
I
will
confidently
thinke
and
affirme
,
that
they
may
so
fairely
bee
in
the
way
of
saluation
,
as
Nicodemus
was
,
to
Christ
by
stealth
in
the
night
;
and
as
some
of
those
thousands
were
(
of
whom
God
to
Elias
)
who
had
not
bowed
their
knees
to
Baall
.
This
point
,
I
might
further
enlarge
,
and
more
fully
confirme
,
but
time
permits
mee
not
so
to
doe
;
yet
time
,
(
by
your
Christian
patience
and
leaue
)
shall
yeeld
mee
libertie
,
to
giue
a
necessarie
instruction
vnto
such
(
if
any
such
heare
mee
this
day
)
who
trembling
and
fearing
where
there
is
no
iust
cause
of
feare
,
do
fearefully
presage
,
and
feare
to
themselues
,
that
there
may
happen
(
and
also
that
the
same
is
at
hand
)
some
generall
fall
,
and
change
from
Religion
Morally
,
Royally
,
and
Diuinely
impossible
:
First
,
it
is
morally
impossible
,
that
a
Kingdome
,
so
setled
and
established
in
Christs
Gospel
,
should
euer
indure
to
behold
,
the
puppit
playes
of
Popery
;
had
the
truth
bin
so
established
in
King
Edwards
reigne
,
as
now
(
by
Gods
fauour
)
it
is
;
wee
should
not
haue
seene
,
nor
heard
of
so
sudden
a
change
,
as
was
made
presently
after
:
but
what
was
the
cause
therof
,
the
Calues
of
Bethel
,
were
then
fresh
in
remembrance
;
the
Beast
then
but
entred
into
her
consumption
with
vs
,
the
wordes
of
God
there
and
then
are
fulfilled
,
when
and
where
her
flesh
is
eaten
,
and
her
bones
consumed
.
The
Gospel
was
indeed
planted
in
King
Edwards
dayes
,
but
not
watered
before
Queene
Maries
Tragedy
.
The
good
seed
was
cast
into
the
ground
,
but
it
rooted
not
,
till
it
was
watered
(
and
after
it
was
watered
)
with
the
blood
of
Saints
;
euer
since
,
it
hath
flourished
as
the
Palme
,
and
shall
still
(
God
saying
Amen
)
flourish
,
maugre
the
malice
of
Satan
,
and
of
Antichrist
.
Cast
your
eyes
round
about
this
present
World
,
reflect
your
memories
into
Generations
,
al
Generations
past
;
and
shew
me
(
if
you
can
)
any
State
or
Kingdom
,
which
hauing
once
fully
(
fully
I
say
)
shaken
off
the
Papall
yoke
,
by
a
perfect
reformation
,
did
euer
setledly
receiue
the
same
again
?
How
many
pretended
vnions
of
subiection
(
aboue
halfe
a
score
)
haue
beene
made
,
betwixt
the
Church
of
Rome
,
and
those
of
Constantinople
,
and
of
the
East
?
and
as
yet
they
haue
not
setledly
agreed
,
neither
will
they
euer
so
do
.
The
Muscouian
Empire
,
which
is
now
of
the
Greekes
beliefe
,
had
it
not
rather
fall
into
the
hands
of
the
Turke
,
then
into
the
Beares
Feet
?
And
is
not
such
the
resolued
affection
of
most
Reformed
professions
&
States
?
Not
for
any
loue
they
beare
to
the
Turkish
profession
(
as
Turce-Papizing
Reinolds
calumniously
wodden
stocke
,
or
to
fall
downe
and
adore
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
a
God
of
bread
,
which
after
digestion
,
is
to
be
cast
in
secessum
,
into
the
priuy
,
or
which
locked
vp
in
a
Tabernacle
may
be
knawen
by
a
Mouse
or
Rat
,
or
consumed
by
Wormes
,
&c.
Thus
is
alteration
and
change
of
religion
,
in
this
renowned
State
(
and
what
States-man
knoweth
not
so
much
?
)
shewed
to
be
morally
impossible
:
more
might
bee
added
,
I
said
in
the
second
place
,
that
such
a
change
was
diuinely
impossible
;
for
how
else
(
to
dispute
probably
,
and
why
may
not
such
be
the
sense
of
the
Holy
Ghost
?
)
shall
the
words
of
God
be
accomplished
,
that
those
States
and
Kingdomes
,
loued
the
whore
,
should
afterwards
hate
her
,
yea
so
hate
her
,
that
they
should
eat
her
flesh
,
and
consume
her
bones
with
fire
:
and
what
is
this
else
but
to
make
her
desolate
,
without
any
hope
of
euer
recouering
her
former
state
againe
?
The
Scripture
speaketh
thus
of
all
the
haters
of
the
whore
;
haters
of
the
whore
(
I
say
)
such
as
make
a
perfect
reformation
,
not
in
part
,
but
wholly
;
not
in
substance
only
,
but
in
ceremonies
likewise
;
such
as
eat
and
deuoure
the
delicacy
of
all
her
superstitious
rags
,
and
consume
the
very
body
of
her
errours
and
heresies
;
the
Scripture
affirming
this
of
all
the
haters
of
the
Whore
,
may
we
not
with
great
probabilitie
apply
and
assume
the
same
to
this
renowned
State
and
Church
,
which
is
become
as
an
Assyle
and
Sanctuary
to
all
sincere
haters
of
the
Whore
,
to
all
such
whom
the
Tyranny
of
the
Whore
and
her
Confederates
may
force
into
exile
;
and
to
all
such
whom
the
force
of
Truth
may
effectually
moue
to
abandon
all
subiection
to
the
Whore
.
The
Word
of
God
is
gone
forth
;
and
by
what
is
alreadie
happily
begun
,
let
vs
bee
most
assured
,
that
her
vtter
ruine
will
in
time
bee
accomplished
:
what
?
if
our
disguised
Aduersaries
vaunt
(
to
their
deceiued
Dames
and
deluded
wantons
)
the
contrary
?
what
though
our
Luke-warme
Laodiceanizers
(
halters
betwixt
Baal
and
God
)
dreame
to
the
contrary
;
gaping
after
preferments
by
such
meanes
,
which
are
neuer
likely
to
come
to
passe
?
what
?
though
the
Couert-chaffe
of
Communion-Recusants
,
doe
now
shew
it selfe
to
be
Church-Recusants
;
dreaming
after
we
cannot
tel
what
?
what
though
there
be
such
shadowes
of
vaine
hopes
?
The
words
of
God
must
be
accomplished
,
and
ere
it
be
long
(
hypocrites
in
all
States
&
Churches
,
being
to
their
shame
discouered
)
The
man
of
sinne
,
and
sonne
of
perdition
will
bee
brought
to
vtter
ruine
and
perdition
:
Come
Lord
Iesus
,
come
quickly
.
I
said
in
the
third
place
,
that
such
a
change
was
Royally
impossible
:
For
how
possible
,
that
our
Religious
Dauid
,
should
not
bee
Semper
Idem
,
alwayes
the
same
?
How
possible
but
hee
,
who
hath
gone
in
and
out
before
vs
in
this
holy
warre
?
Yea
more
,
Cecinit
classicum
,
hath
sounded
out
his
most
Christian
&
learned
Alarum
;
wherein
the
Papall
State
is
most
liuely
and
Arcana
Regni
,
Secrets
of
State
,
in
the
best
sense
.
But
if
,
we
will
not
perswade
our selues
,
that
such
a
change
is
Royally
impossible
;
in
regard
we
haue
a
Religious
,
Learned
&
Resolued
Prince
,
in
all
points
of
Christianitie
;
yet
let
vs
be
perswaded
,
that
such
an
alteration
is
Royally
impossible
,
in
respect
we
haue
an
Intelligent
,
and
a
Politick
wise
Prince
:
for
who
cannot
but
know
,
that
with
such
a
change
he
must
put
on
,
lugum
exactoris
,
The
very
yoke
of
the
Exactour
,
and
that
he
and
his
Successors
,
must
of
Absolute
Monarchs
,
&
Soueraigne
Commanders
,
become
blind
deuouts
to
Papall
Breefs
,
and
liege
Seruants
also
to
the
Soueraigne
Lord
(
of
all
Lords
)
the
Pope
.
For
in
Papistry
it
is
an
Axiome
,
that
the
Nation
and
Kingdome
,
which
shall
not
serue
the
Pope
,
shall
,
must
,
and
ought
to
perish
.
Let
vs
then
rest
resolued
,
that
such
a
change
is
altogether
both
vnlikely
and
impossible
:
Let
vs
cast
off
such
feares
,
&
rather
take
heed
that
our
Aduersaries
do
not
thinke
that
we
haue
conceiued
any
such
feare
;
for
vpon
such
conceptions
,
they
will
begin
new
stratagems
,
and
will
think
the
day
to
be
halfe
theirs
,
if
they
once
apprehend
that
we
are
afraid
of
their
preuailing
.
I
sum
vp
this
my
discourse
,
and
aduise
thus
;
let
euery
soule
here
present
,
feare
,
lest
through
demerits
of
our
sins
,
we
may
be
drawne
from
the
stedfastnes
of
our
profession
;
let
vs
also
in
deuor
by
force
of
truth
,
and
firmnesse
of
perswasions
,
to
draw
the
Papist
from
the
Idolls
of
his
Heresies
,
Superstitions
,
and
Impieties
.
Vlisses
his
followers
stopt
their
Circes
;
Vlisses
himselfe
(
his
eares
being
vnstopped
)
binds
himself
fast
to
the
Mast
of
the
Ship
,
that
so
hee
might
escape
her
veneficious
charmes
:
Yee
that
are
but
weake
in
zeale
,
or
not
fully
instructed
,
stop
your
eare
against
Romes
Charmers
,
charme
they
neuer
so
gloriously
;
but
yee
who
are
better
instructed
,
and
who
dare
to
heare
their
disputes
,
their
conferences
,
their
arguments
;
tye
your
soules
inuiolably
to
the
Mast
of
Christ
his
Ship
,
his
sacred
Word
;
with
the
cords
A
true
rule
of
Catholicisme
:
Vincent
Litiuensis
contra
Hereses
.
of
the
rule
of
Faith
;
which
rule
is
no
other
,
then
that
forme
of
doctrine
which
is
Catholike
:
that
Quae
semper
,
quae
vbique
,
quae
ab
omnibus
credita
fuit
;
That
doctrine
which
alwayes
,
which
in
all
places
,
and
of
all
persons
hath
beene
beleeued
.
Vnder
this
Mast
only
(
Gods
sacred
Word
Catholikely
,
not
Popishly
interpreted
)
shall
yee
bee
safe
and
secure
,
against
all
the
nouell
vanities
,
and
vaine
nouelties
;
against
all
the
impious
blasphemies
,
and
blasphemous
impieties
;
against
all
the
arrogant
presumptions
,
and
presumptuous
arrogancies
of
the
Antichristian
State
of
Rome
.
Let
vs
then
,
O
Christian
soules
!
be
resolute
&
constant
for
the
testimony
of
Iesus
!
he
who
lookes
backe
(
hauing
put
his
hand
to
the
plough
)
is
not
fit
for
the
Kingdome
of
God
:
neither
is
he
fit
for
the
religious
chase
,
&
zealous
pursuit
,
which
is
to
be
made
after
so
execrable
a
Beast
,
who
may
either
looke
backe
by
returning
,
or
withdrawing
his
first
works
(
like
some
Godlesse
Dalmatian
Apostata
)
or
who
like
some
profane
Helcesaean
(
dissembling
his
Faith
)
may
shake
hands
in
somewicked
communion
with
the
Beast
,
or
with
these
sworne
champions
of
the
Beast
;
or
finally
,
who
like
some
Godlesse
Adiaphorizer
,
may
either
say
in
his
heart
or
speake
with
his
mouth
,
that
any
man
(
so
he
professe
Christ
,
beleeue
on
Christ
)
may
bee
saued
in
such
his
faith
and
profession
,
be
it
Popish
,
be
it
Muscouish
;
be
it
Pelagian
,
be
it
Donatian
,
be
it
of
any
other
,
falsly
named
,
forme
of
Faith
whatsoeuer
.
O
Christ
,
what
times
doest
thou
suffer
,
when
wee
are
thus
enforced
to
speake
against
such
an
excesse
of
impietie
and
irreligiosity
!
I
conclude
,
the
God
of
Gods
hath
spoken
,
Mercy
and
Iudgement
belongs
to
him
:
mercy
from
him
,
for
all
those
,
who
shall
sincerely
serue
and
worship
him
;
iudgement
against
all
those
,
who
shall
worship
the
Beast
,
or
the
Image
of
the
Beast
:
mercy
for
euer
,
for
all
those
who
vnder
the
Lamb
,
are
called
chosen
and
faithfull
;
iudgement
against
all
those
,
Who
shall
receiue
the
mark
of
the
Beast
in
their
hands
,
or
on
their
foreheads
:
mercy
for
all
those
,
Who
may
dye
in
the
Lord
,
for
they
shall
rest
from
their
labours
:
(
which
God
of
his
infinit
mercy
grant
to
euery
soule
here
present
:
)
iudgement
against
all
those
,
who
shall
admire
after
the
Beast
;
for
they
shall
drinke
of
the
cup
of
Gods
wrath
and
indignation
.
From
vs
,
who
worship
the
Lamb
,
but
abhorre
the
Beast
;
who
onely
adore
Gods
Word
,
but
execrate
the
Beasts
Traditions
:
From
vs
,
who
haue
in
hate
all
the
markes
and
Characters
of
the
Beast
,
and
who
are
signed
with
the
Spirit
of
the
holy
Lamb
in
the
day
of
our
Redemption
.
From
vs
(
I
say
)
to
our
God
,
together
with
the
Lamb
that
sitteth
vpon
the
Throne
,
and
their
euer
blessed
Spirit
,
be
rendred
benediction
,
Claritie
,
power
,
wisdome
,
honour
,

,
and
obedience
,
from
this
time
forth
for
euermore
,
Amen
.
