VERS
.
1.
And
there
was
given
me
a
reed
,
like
unto
a
mete
yard
:
and
the
Angel
that
stood
by
me
,
said
,
Rise
and
measure
the
Temple
of
God
,
and
the
Altar
,
and
them
that
adore
therein
.
AS
in
a
common
field
,
a
good
Surveyor
doth
measure
out
each
intercommoners
severall
,
by
stake
or
by
rod
:
so
in
the
wide
and
common
field
of
Christians
,
the
Lord
commandeth
his
servant
John
to
survey
and
apportion
out
his
Church
and
partage
,
which
he
severeth
from
the
residue
of
carnall
Gospellers
,
and
such
like
outcasts
;
in
recommending
unto
us
their
inward
frame
and
renewed
graces
,
under
the
appellation
and
names
of
the
Temple
of
God
,
the
Altar
,
and
them
that
adore
therein
:
meaning
,
that
as
in
the
Tabernacle
of
the
congregation
,
the
holy
and
most
holy
places
(
wherein
stood
the
Table
of
the
Shew
bread
,
Candlestick
,
Altar
of
incense
,
Ark
,
propitiatory
and
oracle
of
god
,
over-covered
within
and
without
with
Angel
gold
,
into
which
places
none
but
the
priests
might
enter
&
adore
)
were
separated
by
a
vail
from
the
outer
Court
,
where
the
brazen
altar
was
erected
for
all
the
house
of
Israel
to
enter
and
sacrifice
,
&
which
therefore
was
call'd
the
Court
of
the
people
:
so
in
the
common
field
and
Vniversitie
of
Christians
,
they
onely
are
the
Church
and
heritage
of
God
,
which
are
sanctified
in
heart
,
and
holy
in
life
and
conversation
,
and
separated
(
by
the
vail
of
regeneration
,
that
is
to
say
,
by
the
tears
of
true
repentance
,
and
the
assurance
of
pardon
,
and
reconciliation
unto
God
in
Christ
Iesus
,
ingraven
in
the
tables
of
their
hearts
by
the
finger
of
the
Spirit
)
from
all
carnal
professors
and
nominal
Christians
,
in
whom
is
but
an
outward
face
and
protestation
of
the
name
of
Christ
onely
.
VERS

2.
But
the
base
Court
which
is
without
the
Temple
,
cast
out
,
and
measure
not
,
for
it
is
given
to
the
Gentiles
:
and
the
holy
City
shall
they
tread
under
foot
two
and
forty
months
.
BUt
as
for
those
Common
Catholique
Christians
,
here
resembled
to
the
base
Court
which
is
without
the
Temple
,
because
they
are
but
overcast
onely
with
a
profession
of
my
name
,
which
heare
my
word
,
&
participate
my
Sacraments
,
and
yet
are
separated
by
an
unregenerate
heart
,
as
by
a
vai●
,
from
those
Altars
and
priests
,
in
whom
my
name
is
honoured
,
cast
forth
,
saith
the
Lord
,
and
measure
not
;
for
howsoever
such
unleavened
companions
seem
to
boast
in
the
name
of
my
Church
,
and
in
the
protestation
of
a
Christian
calling
,
yet
they
are
so
farre
from
belonging
to
my
peculiar
,
saith
the
Lord
,
as
that
I
have
given
them
up
in
reckoning
with
the
reprobate
of
the
Gentiles
,
and
they
shall
justifie
mine
account
and
rejection
of
them
,
by
their
like
uncircumcised
carriage
and
heathenish
conversation
:
for
they
shall
no
lesse
defile
my
holy
Citie
,
that
is
to
say
,
they
shall
no
lesse
hate
,
accuse
,
persecute
,
and
keep
under
water
the
true
and
sanctified
Christian
,
then
do
the
heathen
and
uncircumcised
,
as
by
over-long
experience
is
wel
known
to
the
Church
of
God
,
which
hath
been
,
is
,
and
shall
be
(
till
her
captivitie
be
returned
)
opposed
for
melancholy
,
mad
,
new
,
factious
,
schismaticall
,
hereticall
,
by
Christian
Catholiques
,
politicians
,
Atheists
,
carnall
Gospellers
,
and
such
heathenish
protestors
like
to
theis
.
And
that
the
Church
of
God
may
not
look
for
other
or
better
entertainment
at
these
her
intercommoners
hands
,
she
is
here
(
by
the
predeterminate
counsell
of
God
)
to
be
troden
like

Christians

to
every

accounting
(
by
propheticall
supp●tation
)
thirtie
yeers
,
as
in
the
verse
following
shall
be
further
manifested
;
confounding
therein
the
Remisa●ies
of
Rome
,
who
sweat
to
perswade
that
they
are
but
moneths
of
days
,
thereby
to
turne
the
worlds
eye
from
the
great
Antichrist
that
now
is
,
to
a
pettie
Antichrist
which
shall
never
come

VERS
.
3.
And
I
will
give
to
my
two
witnesses
,
and
they
shall
prophesie
a
thousand
two
hundred
and
sixty
days
cloathed
in
sackcloth
.
DUring
which
time
of
the
Churches
disgrace
and
desolation
,
for
the
greater
comfort
of
her
Children
,
and
judgement
of
her
adversaries
,
I
will
,
saith
the
Lord
;
I
,
by
a
wonderfull
outstretched
providence
,
will
preserve
unto
the
world
the
light
and
power
of
my
two
Testaments
,
to
guide
their
knowledge
and
conversation
into
the
wayes
of
peace
.
Whereby
the
Lord
manifestly
reproveth
the
grosse
and
vaine
expectation
of
those
,
that
translate
his
meaning
in
this
place
to
the
coming
of
Henoch
and
Elias
:
whereas
of
Henochs
return
,
either
in
flesh
or
in
spirit
,
there
is
no
syllable
of
promise
in
all
the
Scriptures
,
and
as

spi●ituall
returne
of
Elias
promised

Mal

is
already
performed
as
the
Lord
himselfe
proveth
.
Now
touching
the
time
of
their
keeping
watch
while
the
world
sleepeth
,
the
Lord
vowe●h
it

be
42.
moneths
before
mentioned
;
which
being
dissolved
into
dayes
,
afrer
the
Kalender
of
the
Hebrews
(
whose
year
did
drive
thirty
dayes
to
every
moneth
,
and
twelve
moneths
to
every
year
)
amount
to
the
just
number
of
1260.
days
here
specified
:
which
computation
of
the
years
is
observed
throughout
the
whole
Bible
,
Daniel
onely
excepted
,
who
counteth
after
the
use
and
stile
of
the
Chaldeans
,
in
whose
tongue
,
and
amongst
whom
he
wrote
;
and
consequently
the
m
neths
being
Prophetica●l
,
that
is
to
say
,
mone●hs
of
years
,
to
each
accounting
thirty
years
,
the
re●gne
of
Antichrist
must
needs
endu●e
1260.
years
.
Which
manner
of
reckoning
years
by
dayes
,
though
it
seem
strange
,
is
usuall
notwithstanding
with
the
P●ophets
of
God
,
Ezek
4.6
.
Dan
9.24
.
and
therefore
is
called
Propheticall
,
as
Ezekiel
a
day
for
a
yeare
,
and
Daniels
seventie
weeks
are
weeks
of
years
,
every
week
containing
seven
yea●s
,
as
throughout
this
Prophesi●
.
Also
the
moneths
are
moneths
of
years
,
to
every
moneth
accounting
thirty
years
.
From
whence
we
conclude
,
Antichrists
three
years
and
a
halfe
,
both
here
and
in
Daniel
,
deciphered
by
a

and

to
be

12.
moneths

,
which
amount
to
360.
years
,
and
multiplied
by
three
and
a
halfe
,
do
in
the
totall
amount
to
1260.
years
.
And
to
the
end
the
world
may
take
better
notice
of
these
his
two
testifiers
and
preservers
of
truth
,
the
Lord
commendeth
the
knowledge
of
the
parties
,
by
the
description
of
their
Garments
,
in
saying
,
they
are
cloathed
in
sackcloath
;
thereby
not
onely
dissevering
their
testimonies
from
all
the
soft
and
courtly
commentaries
of
flesh
and
blood
,
which
for
the
most
are
raised
with
infected
matter
,
and
vested
with
affected
st●le
;
but
also
teaching
us
that
no
man
can
retaine
to
the
Lord
,
before
whom
they
minister
,
unlesse
he
serve
in
the
same
livery
that
they
doe
,
and
can
turne
over
the
leaves
of
his
life
and
pilgrimage
in
fasting
and
sackcloth
,
and
true
repentance
,
as
these
his
servants
the
Prophets
and
Saints
have
done
.

out

stay
Elias
Chariot

pull
the
wind

VERS

And
in
that
houre
there
was
made
a
great
earth-quake
,
and
the
tenth
part
of
the
City
fell
,
and
there
were
slaine
in
the
earth-quake
names
of
men
seven
thousand
,
and
the
rest
were
cast
into
a
feare
,
and
gave
glory
to
the
God
of
heaven
.
ANd
at
such
time
as
it
pleased
God
to
begin
his
work
of
instauration
,
and
to
cause
the
day-spring
of
his
Gospel
to
shine
out
of
the
night
of
Antichrists
darknesse
;
the
abominable
and
desolate
profanation
of
the
Beast
,
which
had
so
long
time
over-cast
the
earth
,
was
in
such
sort
discovered
,
that
the
very
root
of
his
throne
and
usurped
authoritie
was
dangerously
shaken
,
which
the
holy
Ghost
closely
foldeth
up
,
in
saying
,
There
was
made
a
great
earth-quake
.
And
further
fore
sheweth
,
that
out
of
this
concussion
there
should
arise
so
great
defection
,
that
the
tenth
part
of
his
worshippers
should
revolt
from
him
,
and
that
this
revolt
and
defection
must
cost
the
lives
of
many
thousand
men
,
which
the
Spirit
uttereth
in
a
manner
of
speech
strange
to
us
,
but
usual
with
the
Scriptures
,
calling
men
names
of
men
,
as
Chap.
3.4
.
and
meaning
by
seven
thousand
many
thousand
,
using
the
determinate
number
of
seven
indefinitly
,
and
for
a
number
indeterminate
,
as
it
is
also
in
Scripture
often
.
Which
broils
and
bloodshed
concerning
the
institution
of
religion
,
are
so
sufficiently
reported
in
the
Commentaries
of
Bohemia

Germanie
,

in
the
troubles
of
France
and
Flanders
,
and
other
Nations
,
as
if
it
were
purposely
registred
in
proofe
of
this
prophesie
.
Lastly
,
the
Spirit
concluding
,
foretelleth
that
many
kingdoms
in
this
defection
,
should
quite
forsake
the
Beast
,
and
haste
them
out
of
Babylon
home
again
to
build
the
walls
of
Ierusalem
,
and
to
restore
the
morning
and
the
evening
Sacrifice
of
praise
and
thanksgiving
,
as
in
the
former
time
,
and
in
the
dayes
of

And
the
rest
were
cast
into
a
feare

VERS
.
14.
The
second
Woe
is
gone
,
and
behold
the
third
Woe
will
come
quickly
.
THe
first
woe
was
the
blasphemy
of
Arianisme
,
which
the
holy
Ghost
in
the
ninth
Chapter
most
aptly
resembleth
unto
a
smoake
ascending
from
the
depth
,
saying
,
That
the
Sun
was
darkned
,
and
the
aire
with
the
smoake
of
the
pit
;
meaning
by
the
Sunne
,
the
Son
of
God
;
and
by
the
aire
,
the
word
of
his
truth
,
by
whose
onely
meane
and
interposition
,
the
object
of
his
Deitie
was
truly
discerned
:
and
in
regard
of
this
first
woe
which
was
kindled
by
Arius
,
wherewith
the
inhabitants
of
the
earth
(
as
the
Spirit
foretold
us
)
should
be
tormented
five
moneths
,
meaning
moneths
of
yeares
,
which
by
Propheticall
account
amounteth
to
one
hundred
and
fifty
years
,
which
was
the
time
of
the
Arian
persecution
,
as
in
the
Ecclesiasticall
Histories
more
plainly
appeareth
,
The
holy
Ghost
,
I
say
,
in
regard
of
this
first
woe
,
calleth
the
tragicall
reigne
of
Antichrist
the
second
woe
,
whose
long
time
of
tyranny
within
this
Chapter
,
in
a
generall
manner
is
declared
,
and
in
the
13.
Chapter
following
,
more
particularly
and
exactly
discovered
,
though
at
the
writing
of
this
Prophesie
,
it
had
his
being
onely
in
the
foreknowledge
of
God
,
and
was
not
yet
begun
to
be
acted
,
much
lesse
fully
ended
:
yet
in
respect
it
is
here
in
a
generall
manner
fully
revealed
,
the
Lord
(
to
whom
all
things
past
and
to
come
are
present
)
saith
,
The
second
woe
is
gone
,
upon
determination
whereof
the
third
woe
must
ensue
;
which
,
for
it
surpasseth
both
the
former
in
terror
and
greatnesse
,
the
holy
Ghost
bringeth
it
in
with
a
word
of
audience
,
Behold
,
the
third
woe
will
come
,
meaning
the
great
and
terrible
day
of
the
Lord
,
fore-denounced
by
his
servants
the
Prophets
,
in
the
which
all
Nations
shall
stand
as
Prisoners
before
him
,
and
receive
every
one
according
to
the
wayes
wherein
their
heart
hath
walked
.
And
because
the
day
of
the
Lords
comming
in
glory
,
and
consummation
of
the
world
shall
not
long
tarry
after
the
determination
and
consumption
of
Antichrist
(
as
in
the
last
verse
of
the
thirteenth
Chapter
following
,
shall
be
more
fully
declared
)
the
holy
Ghost
addeth
the
word
quickly
,
as
a
precise
note
of
his
speedy
comming
,
which
our
Lord
also
in
another
place
confirmeth
by
a
like
word
immediatly
,
saying
,
And
immediatly
after
the
tribulation
of
those
dayes
,
Mat

24.
(
speaking
of
the
tyrannous
reigne
of

Son
of
man
comming
in
the
clouds
of

TH'Apostle

a

that

the

VERS

And
a
great
signe
appeared
in
Heaven
,
a
woman
cloathed
with
the
Sunne
,
and
the
Moone
under
her
feet
,
and
on
her
head
a
Crowne
of
twelve
Starres
.
BUt
before
the
Spirit
takes
in
hand
to
discover
the
persecutors
of
the
Church
,
it
p●easeth
him
first
to
describe
the
Church
it selfe
,
that
so
the
barbarous
immanitie
of
her
enemies
may
be
more
apparent
and
justly
abhorred
,
being
used
against
a
creature
of
such
virginall
,
innocent
and
patient
modestie
,
who
for
her
rare
and
admirable
beauty
is
here
called
a
great
signe
,
or
heavenly
apparition
,
symbolizing
her
fearfull
,
modest
,
sober
and
matron-like
behaviour
,
with
th'appellation
and
quality
of
a
woman
;
for
so
she
is
in
holy
Scriptures
ofren
called
,
The
fairest
woman
,
the
Kings
daughter
,
daughter
of
Sion
,
daughter
of
Jerusalem
,
the
Spouse
of
Christ
,
Mother
of
the
just
,
&c.
And
to
the
end
she
may
the
better
be
discerned
of
us
,
the
Apostle
describeth
her
garments
and
wearing
,
saying
,
she
was
cloathed
with
the
Sunne
,
meaning
that
she
had
put
on
the
Lord
Jesus
,
Sunne
of
justice
,
that
is
to
say
,
her
Soule
was
vested
with
an
assurance
of
the
mercy
and
love
of
God
in
Christ
Jesus
her
Lord
;
which
justice
or
justification
of
the
Spouse
and
her
children
,
is
called
in
holy
Scripture
by
way
of
Metaphor
,
the
white
stone
,
and
the
wedding
Garment
.
For
as
a
Stoale
or
Garment
covereth
the
shame
and
nakednesse
of
our
vile
bodies
:
so
the
mercy
and
love
of
God
,
insured
us
in
Christ
Jesus
our
Lord
,
hideth
the
shame
and
nakednesse
of
our
sinfull
souls
.
And
to
prove
that
her
Garment
was
truly
woven
of
the
two
divine
threads
,
to
wit
,
the
assurance
of
mercy
,
and
the
assurance
of
love
in
Christ
Jesus
her
Lord
;
the
Spirit
giveth
in
for
evidence
,
the
fruits
of
this
her
lively
and
justificall
faith
,
closely
hiding
her
newnesse
of
life
,
her
hatred
of
sin
,
and
her
love
of
God
,
as
under
a
vaile
,
in
these
words
,
And
the
Moone
under
her
feete
;
signifying
thereby
,
that
she
had
now
quite
forsaken
and
forgotten
her
fathers
house
,
that
is
,
had
slaine
her
naturall
,
sinfull
,
and
wonted
affections
,
and
was
revived
,
and
renewed
in
mind
,
and
with
her
Lord
was
now
risen
,
and
ascended
up
,
as
he
into
the
heaven
of
heavens
,
so
she
to
a
new
custome
and
carriage
of
life
,
far
above
and
higher
then
the
Moone
:
for
all
her
study
and
hearts
delight
was
now
in
heaven
,
where
her
hope
,
her
love
,
her
life
,
and
her
dearest
Lord
liveth
and
reigneth
,
God
,
to
be
praised
for
ever
and
ever
,
Amen
.
Last
of
all
,
the
Spirit
setteth
forth
her
head-attire
,
whereby
her
honour
and
estate
was
best
knowne
,
and
wherein
she
most
delighted
,
saying
,
that
she
wore
on
her
head
a
Crowne
,
made
of
a
mettall
much
finer
then
gold
,
for
it
was
made
of
the
doctrine
of
the
12.
Apostles
,
who
for
that
they
are
the
Lords
lights
,
and
lanterns
to
guide
the
feet
of
sinners
when

hath
benighted
them

ANd
by
the
words

her

travelling
under
the
burden

restlesse
desire
to
be
reconciled
to
God
:
which
anguish
and
paines
of
her
sorrowfull
heart
and
broken
spirit
,
the
Apostle
most
excellently
compareth
to
the
sorrows
of
a

In

her
spirituall

to

;
which
for
the

the

calleth
a

the

who

immanitie

malice

here
called

Dragon
;
and
both
for
that
his

seated
on

also
for
that
he
was
in
all

the

epitome
(
as

of

unto

(
from

the

VERS
.
8.
And
there
was
waged
a
battell
in
heaven
,
Michael
and
his
Angels
fought
with
the
Dragon
;
and
the
Dragon
fought
,
and
his
Angels
.
ANd
at
the
same
time
that
the
Temple
of
God
was
opened
in
heaven
,
the
Apostle
also
foresaw
that
great
and
bloody
contention
,
then
which
(
since
the
dayes
of
heaven
)
was
never
waged
greate●
,
great
in
regard
of
the
Armies
,
and
great
in
respect
of
the
cause
.
The
Armies
great
,
as
well
for
the
greatnesse
of
the
Generals
,
as
for
the
valour
and
number
of
their
Forces
.
The
Generall
on
the
one
side
,
was
the
power
of
God
,
sciphered
by
Michael
the
Prince
of
the
Covenant
,
who
stood
for
the
children
and
people
of
the
Highest
.
The
Generall
on
the
other
side
,
was
the
power
of
Satan
,
figured
by
Ethnick
Rome
,
here
(
as
before
)
called
the
Dragon
.
In
their
Forces
are
to
be
considered
the
Leaders
and
the
Souldie●s
.
The
Leaders
and
Captaines
on
the
part
of
Michael
were
Divus
Petrus
,
Divus
Paulus
,
Divus
Johannes
,
and
the
rest
of
that
divine
and
Noble
order
of
Saints
.
And
on
the
Dragons
part
were
Leaders
and
Chieftains
,
Divus
Tiberius
,
Divus
Caligula
,
Divus
Claudius
,
Divus
Nero
,
and
the
rest
of
that
most
filthy
and
execrable
traine
.
So
great
was
he
multitude
and
number
of
Souldiers
,
that
none
of
what
degree
,
sex
,
age
,
or
condition
soever
,
but
must
be
prest
for
the
one
side
or
for
the
other
;
the
valour
and
vertue
of
the
Souldie●s
exceeded
all
praise
;
few
subdued
many
,
the
weake
overcame
the
stong
,
a
handfull
of
Christians
a
world
of
infidels
.
The
cause
was
great
,
and
higher
then
the
heavens
;
whether
God
or
Belial
,
Ch●ist
or
Jupiter
.
Christianisme
or
Paganisme
were
more
venerable
for
antiquitie
,
majest●call
for
amplitude
,
more
constant
for
continuance
,
and
in
all
other
respects
of
wisdome
,
honour
and
Majestie
more
worthy
to
be
imbraced
and
adored
of
the
sons
of
men
;
wh
ch
was
for
life
contended
by
the
Dragon
,
his
Angels
and
Af●ects
,
and
was
for
life
withstood
and
disapproved
by
Michael
and
his
Angels
,
and
their
followers
.
The
issue
of
this
contention
followeth
.
VERS
.
9.
But
they
prevailed
not
,
neither
was
their
place
found
any
more
in
Heaven
.
AS
the
battel
was
great
,
so
was
the
v●ctory
glorious
:
for
though
the
Dragon
with
his
sapient
Senates
,
his
prophane
Angels
,
and
his
uncleane
abbettors
,
intended
all
their
forces
,
moving
(
as
it
is
in
proverb
)
heaven
and
earth
to
make
room
for
the
abomination
of
Jupiter
,
and
to
keep
under
water
the
everlasting
Lord
and
Prince
of
the
Covenant
;
as
among
the
many
Monuments
of
time
is
sufficiently
proved
and
maintained
by
Orosius
,
and
by
him
,
to
whom
he
wrote
,
in
his
book
de
Civi●ate
Dei
;
yet
the
Spirit
foreseeing
the
Dragons
folly
,
and
how
in
vaine
he
kickt
against
the
spur
,
in
scorne
of
his
presumption
saith
,
But
he
prevailed
not
;
and
concluding
affirmeth
,
that
the
possession
of
heaven
(
so
long
time
usurped
by
incestuous
murtherers
,
and
execrable
curtizans
,
gods
and
goddesses
of
their
owne
forging
)
must
be
resigned
now
to
the
true
Lord
and
owner
of
all
,
who
hath
taken
his
place
at
the
right
hand
of
the
Father
,
and
hath
deposed
for
ever
from
their
usurped
titles
of
deitie
,
all
gods
and
goddesses
,
phantasmes
made
of
worms
,
created
and
divified
by
th'inventions
,
relations
,
consecrations
,
and
canonizations
of
the
Dragon
,
his
Taile
and
successors
,
as
the
spirit
discovereth
in
saying
,
Neither
the
place
of
them
was
found
any
more
in
Heaven
.
VERS

10.
And
that
great
Dragon
was
throwne
downe
,
the
old
Serpent
,
called
the
Devil
and
Satanas
,
which
seduceth
the
whole

,
and
he
was
cast

ANd
the
great
and
prophane
power
of
the
Roman
Monarchy
,
which
had
so
long
time
oppressed
and
corrupted
the
earth
,
was
now
at
length
detected
,
and
thereupon
disseized
of

from

usurped
claim
of
heaven
for

as
the

discovereth
in

And

And
for

Devil
did
corporally

(
as
it

in

spreading
the
beams
of
his
wickednesse
at
full
,
in
all
idolatry
,
impietie
,
and
presumption
against
God
,
and
in
all
oppression
,
injustice

the

crowneth
her
with
the
cognoments
of
her

,
calling
her
,
for
her
malice
to
the
truth
,
a
Serpent
;
for
her
crimination
of
the
Saints
,
a

for
hostility

Satanas
:
speaking
therein
,
after

of
the
Lord
himselfe
,
who
calleth
his
treacherous
steward
a
Divel
,
though
he
were
a
man
,
because
the
fullnesse
of
Satan
did
dwell
in
him

filling
his
heart
with
such
a
perfect
hatred
of
his
innocent
Lord
,

lamentable
love
of
his
guilty
penie
,
that
he
sold
Canaan
for
Egypt
,
heaven
for
hell
,

God
for
silver
.
And
because
th'
impietie
of
Governors

is
not
onely
their
owne
decay
by
evil
doing
,

also
by
enforcement

evil

the
ruine

layeth
the
seduction
of
the
whole

to
the
charge
of
the
Dragon
,
for
ruling
it
after

saying
,
which
seduceth
the
whole

;
and
thereupon
giveth
just
judgement
and
sentence
of
death
against
him
,
namely
,
that
as
in
his
beginning
he
crept
out
of
the
earth
,
and
by
the
scale
of
his
wickednesse
ascended
so
high
,
as
to
presume
to
thrust
his
haughty
head
into
heaven
,
and
build
his
nest
above
the
stars
;
as
did
his
antecessors
,
Assur

Beltassar

Darius
,
Alexander
,
and
the
rest
of
their
compeers
:
so
by
a

cruelty

he
shall
shortly
returne
to
his

againe
,
and
be
made
even
with
the
earth
,
from
whence
his
stock

was
borrowed
;

power
of
his
Cesars

counsell
of
his
Senators
,
sophistry
of
his
Sorcerers
(
which
with
such
indurate

obstinate
minds
,
stood
for
th'
honour

worship
of
Devils
)
should
be
no
longer
able
to
uphold
the
reverence
of

Jupiter
Capitolinus

was
now
detected
for
a
Rogue

by
the
voices
of
Michaels
Angels
(
as
by

was
sent
home
againe

the
place
of

the

from
whence
his

(

the
more

so
much
the
rather

because
their
sin

that
the
Kingdome

gather
so
fast

And
there
was

the

the

left

dispersed

corners

by
the

they
might
utterly
consume

VERS
.
1.
And
I
saw
a
Beast
ascending
from
the
Sea
,
having
seven
heads
and
ten
hornes
,
and
upon
his
hornes
ten
Diadems
,
and
upon
his
heads
names
of
blasphemy
.
AND
presently
upon
the
remove
and
translation
of
the
Empire
,
the
Apostle
espied
that
wicked
one
,
Antichrist
,
man
of
sin
,
in
saying
,
And
I
saw
;
who
in
regard
of
the
tyrannous
power
and
bloody
use
of
the
unbridled
jurisdiction
,
that
should
be
given
him
,
he
is
here
termed
(
as
in
holy
Scriptures
other
Monarchs
are
)
a
Beast
,
that
is
to
say
,
a
kind
of
Government
,
Kingdome
,
dominion
or
power
,
exercised
and
acted
by
a
succession
of
tyrannous
,
bloody
and
beastly
men
.
And
albeit
his
perfection
in
evill
stood
yet
aloof
,
and
was
very
far
off
,
young
and
tender
,
as
lying
in
swathing
clouts
;
yet
the
Apostle
descryeth
him
,
as
it
were
through
a
chink
,
in
saying
,
comming
up
.
For
after
the
translation
of
the
Empire
,
and
that
now
Ethnick
Rome
began
to
play
the
Christian
,
he
was
well
nigh
a
hundred
years
closely
creeping
&
climbing
up
,
before
he
could
advance
his
cursed
head
and
claim
of
super-eminency
.
Concerning
which
ambitious
puffe
of
vaine
priority
,
so
fair
and
evident
mention
is
made
in
the
monuments
of
time
,
that
the
incredible
boldnesse
of
the
adversary
is
no
lesse
marvellous
then
his
incurable
blindnesse
,
that
hath
so
long
time
stumbled
at
this
stone
,
and
so
often
spurred
us
by
way
of
vaunting
to
shew
them
(
if
we
dare
or
can
)
when
this
apostasie
of
Antichrist
tooke
her
rise
and
first
commencement
:
which
daring
vaunt
of
theirs
,
the
holy
Ghost
tripping
over
as
a
thing
which
is
or
ought
to
be
knowne
unto
us
,
namely
,
that
the
horne
of
Antichrist
and
his
apostasie
did
then
first
sprout
out
,
when
his
Church
first
obtained
at
the
Dragons
hand
,
priority
of
place
,
suffrage
and
censure
over
all
.
For
as
the
Tree
puls
up
the
creeping
Ivie
,
so
the
primacie
of
the
Church
of
Rome
pulled
up
th'
aspiring
supremacie
of
the
Bishop
thereof
;
which
Church
preheminence
and
prelation
(
after
long
ruffling
and
shouldring
)
was
first
obtained
at
the
hands
of
Honorius
(
tho
afterwards
upon
greater
concertation
and
daggers
drawing
,
it
was
by
other
Cesars
and
Kings
confirmed
,
renewed
and
ampliated
)
who
by
th'
advantage
of
the
weaknesse
and
death
of
his
elder
brother
Arcadius
,
having
obtained
power
and
protector-ship
East
and
West
,
subjected
the
Church
of
the
East
Empire
(
which
most
withstood
the
West
and
Romane
supremacie
)
with
all
other
Churches
whatsoever
,
to
the
Church
and
Sea
of
Rome
,
at
the
instant
suit
and
importunity
of
the
now
Bishop
of
Rome
,
whose
name
was
then
Innocent
the
first
,
in
the
first
year
of
his
creation
,
and
in
the
yeare
of
Redemption
406.
But
the
holy
Ghost
(
I
say
)
passing
over
the
punctuall
and
exact
moment
of
time
,
when
the
Egge
of
Antichrist
and
his
apostacie
was
first
laid
,
as
otherwhere
sufficiently
preserved
unto
us
,
proceedeth
to
detect
the
place
where
and
from
whence
he
should
arise
,
saying
,
that
he
saw
him
lift
up
his
hardie
head
from
the
sea
,
meaning
by
the
sea
,
as
in
the
sixteenth
of
this
Prophecie
,
the
surging
,
tumbling
and
raging
Sea
and
City
of
Rome
,
where
also
by
a
like
loquution
he
calleth
all
Kingdomes
subjected
to
her
,
by
the
name
of
Rivers
.
And
that
this
Beast
should
thence
arise
,
and
there
(
and
not
elsewhere
)
keep
Court
and
residence
,
the
Spirit
proveth
by
an
argument
drawne
from
the
shape
and
proportion
of
the
Beast
,
for
he
had
the
seven
heads
and
ten
hornes
of
the
Dragon
,
meaning
that
he
should
sit
upon
the
Dragons
hills
,
and
reigne
in
and
over
the
Dragons
City
,
and
aray
himselfe
with
the
spoils
of
the
world
,
and
hold
in
subjection
the
Kings
and
States
on
earth
,
as
the
Dragon
did
;
for
so
much
the
Spirit
intendeth
in
saying
,
having
seven
heads
and
ten
hornes
.
And
least
the
unwary
Reader
should
mistake
this
great
Antichrist
for
that
great
Dragon
,
or
this
Beasts
supremacie
and
his
pestilent
succession
for
that
Beasts
super-eminencie
and
his
execrable
taile
(
as
many
unwarily
have
done
)
the
holy
Ghost
,
in
emblazoning
his
coat
,
giveth
him
a
most
exquisite
difference
,
in
saying
that
he
wore
his
diadems
,
not
upon
his
heads
,
as
the
Dragon
did
,
but
upon
his
hornes
;
signifying
thereby
,
that
he
should
not
come
to
his
Crown
and
vain-glory
by
the
strength
of
his
sword
,
his
leaders
and
his
legions
,
as
the
Dragon
did
,
but
by
the
base
and
voluntary
submission
of
all
such
Caesars
,
Kings
and
Princes
,
as
should
with
one
counsell
and
force
,
deliver
up
their
authority
and
power
secular
to
the
devotion
and
pleasure
of
the
Beast●…
and
therefore
the
Spirit
crowneth
not
his
heads
,
bu●…
his
hornes
,
saying
,
and
upon
his
hornes
ten
diadems
.
An●…

(
even
by
his
head-attire
)
ho●…
far

High-Priest

Aaron
)
should
have
his
head-peece
beslubbered
with
names
of
blasphemy
,
and
upon
his
heads
names
of
blasphemy
,
whereof
proofe
is
made
in
the
sixth
verse
following
.
VERS
.
2.
And
the
Beast
which
I
saw
was
like
to
a
Leopard
,
and
his
feet
as
a
Beare
,
and
his
mouth
as
the
mouth
of
a
Lion
,
and
the
Dragon
gave
him
his
owne
force
,
and
his
throne
,
and
great
power
.
ANd
forasmuch
as
the
Apostle
fore-saw
that
this
Beast
should
be
a
far
greater
adversary
,
and
a
far
longer
persecutor
of
the
Church
of
God
,
then
any
of
the
Monarchies
which
did
arise
afore
him
;
he
shaped
him
an
outside
answerable
to
his
inward
making
,
framing
his
parts
of
the
most
notable
persecuters
that
ever
were
;
as
concluding
him
for
his
extraordinary
wickednesse
the
odd
fellow
,
the
totall
sum
and
very
accomplishment
of
all
other

And
first
for
his
presumption
,
in
extolling
himselfe
above
the
Prince
of
the
Covenant
,
desouling
his
sanctuary
,
desolating
his
sacrifice
,
burning
his
statutes
,
and
inforcing
the
humble
and
meek
to
the
abnegation
of
the
truth
,
by
blood
,
fire
,
st●appadoes
,
and
such
like
exquisite
torments
;
the
Spirit
resembleth
him
to
his
arch-type
Antiochus
descended
from
the
Monarch
of
Greece
,
here
(
as
in
Daniel
)
deciphered
by

And
I
saw
the
Beast
like
a
Leopard
.
Secondly
,
in
pride
of
life
,
in
pomp
and
luxury
,
the
Spirit
equalleth
him
with
the
Monarch
of
Persia
,
and
likeneth

the

cursed
mouth
of
the
Monarch
of
Babylon
,
in
commanding
the
dwellers
on
earth
(
upon
paine
of

and

)
to
adore
his
golden
Idol
,
which
he
had
dedicated
with
cornets

sackbuts

psalteries
,
dulcimers

which
also
the

covereth
(
as
Daniel
doth
)
under
the
mask
of

And
his
mouth
as

mouth
of
a
Lion

And
last
of

,
lest
haply
he
should
be
least
beholding
unto
his
Bella
Nympha
,
his
dearest
Lady
and
mistris
of
Rome
,
the
holy
Ghost
saith
,
that
the
love
of
his
Patronesse
the
Dragon
,
was
equall
to
the
love
of
a
father
towards
his
son
;
for
she
made
him
heir
apparent
,
and
Lord
of
her
Empire
,
subjecting
all
things
to
the
feet
of
his
censure

and
confirming
unto
him
her
throne
and
Palace
of

,
with

VERS
.
3.
And
I
saw
one
of
his
heads
as
it
were
slaine
to
death
,
but
the
wound
of
his
death
was
cured
,
and
all
the
earth
was
in
admiration
after
the
Beast
.
ANd
presently
after
this
great
Antichrist
was
risen
,
the
Apostle
foresaw
such
a
wound
given
to
one
of
his
heads
,
that
the
Beast
was
in
eminent
danger
to
be
stricken
downe
againe
,
and
slaine
in
the
very
egge
,
for
so
much
the
Spirit
noteth
in
saying
,
And
I
saw
one
of
his
heads
as
it
were
slaine
to
death
.
For
the
better
opening
of
which
wound
,
we
must
not
onely
remember
the
Beast
hath
seven
heads
,
but
we
must
also
step
a
little
forward
,
and
crave
the
assistance
of
the
seventeenth
Chapter
concerning
the
interpretation
of
the
seven
heads
,
which
saith
,
that
the
seven
heads
are
seven
hills
,
and
they
are
also
seven
Kings
;
discovering
the
true
seat
and
situation
of
the
City
of
Rome
,
where
Antichrist
should
keep
his
Court
and
residence
,
by
the
seven
hills
.
And
by
the
seven
Kings
the
seven
Monarchies
〈…〉
which
from
the
beginning
of
the
world
to
this
day
have
successively
risen
and
reigned
over
the
earth
,
of
which
seven
,
the
Assyrian
Monarchie
was
the
first
,
and
the
Roman
the
sixth
,
of
both
which
and
their
puefellows
,
is
further
revealed
in
the
17.
Chapter
following
.
Meane
time
we
are
here
to
observe
,
that
as
the
holy
Ghost
doth
therefore
call
his
seven
heads
by
the
name
of
seven
hils
,
because
the
seat
of
Antichrist
should
be
there
,
and
not
elsewhere
placed
and
planted
;
so
he
nameth
them
also
seven
Kings
,
because
the
power
of
Antichrist
should
be
an
extraordinary
soveraignty
,
compounded
of
such
spirituall
and
temporall
claims
and
jurisdictions
,
as
should
be
equivalent
in
presumption
and
prophanation
,
to
all
the
transgressions
of
the
seven
Monarchies
,
which
from
the
beginning
hitherunto
,
have
blasphemed
God
,
and
corrupted
his
world
.
This
foundation
laid
,
doth
shew
,
that
this
deadly
wound
given
to
one
of
his
heads
,
which
(
as
after
appeareth
)
was
the
wound
of
a
sword
,
cannot
be
meant
of
any
one
of
his
heads
after
the
first
signification
,
as
they
are
hills
,
but
as
they
are
Kings
,
and
subject
to
the
sword
:
and
so
by
consequence
intendeth
,
that
one
of
his
imperiall
heads
,
and
namely
his
faire
Adonis
,
his
minion
,
Lord
and
Master
of
Rome
,
of
whom
he
had
so
lately
received
his
breath
and
being
,
was
so
deadly
wounded
,
as
that
the
Beast
himselfe
,
thereby
was
in
great
danger
of
extinction
.
Thus
having
found
the
head
,
let
us
look
unto
the
wound
,
that
so
we
may
the
better
discerne
the
great
danger
the
Beast
was
in
,
delivered
in
these
words
,
as
it
were
slaine
to
death
.
This
deadly
wound
was
given
and
driven
home
to
the
head
by
the
sword
and
incursion
of
the
West
Gothes
,
under
the
leading
of
Alaricus
,
who
in
the
nineteenth
year
of
Caesar
Honorius
(
of
whom
the
Beast
some
foure
yeares
before
had
received
his
life
)
entred
Italy
,
and
gave
such
a
deadly
stroke
unto
his
powerfull
pate
,
that
for
very
feare
,
the
beast
lockt
himselfe
up
in
his
den
at
Ravenna
,
while
the
enemy
ript
up
the
streets
of
his
imperiall
City
,
filling
them
with
famine
,
fire
and
sword
;
which
night
of
woe
,
or
rather
beginning
of
her
wofull
night
,
made
an
ancient
friend
of
hers
,
who
in
her
youth
did
love
her
over-well
,
to
bewaile
and
bind
up
her
deadly
wounded
head
,
with
an
old
Ballade
,
after
the
tune
of
the
burning
of
Troy
.
Quis

And
having
thus
mortally
wounded
the
head
of
the
Beast
(
in
the
yeare
of
salvation
410.
and
1157.
years
after
Romulus
had
raised
her
walls
with
his
brothers
blood
)
proceeded
to
seize
upon
the
rest
of
his
dignities
,
havocking
and
burning
his
chiefest
honours
,
Latium
,
Campania
,
Apulia
,
Lucania
,
Calabria
,
where
raging
and
devising
how
to
extermine
the
power
of
the
Empire
for
ever
,
and
to
spread
his
glory
over
all
,
was
by
sudden
death
blotted
out
,
leaving
his
purpose
and
his
Army
Royal
to
his
wives
brother
Ataulphus
,
who
in
like
raging
hast
and
fury
returned
to
Rome
,
with
an
obstinate
intent
and
resolution
to
obliterate
the
ancient
name
of
Rome
for
ever
,
and
to
call
her
(
in
honour
of
his
people
)
Gothia
,
or
after
his
owne
name
Ataulpha
;
which
counsell
and
purpose
of
his
,
had
it
beene
effected
,
Sir
Antichrist
with
all
his
primacies
and
supremacies
had
bid
us
good
night
long
ago
;
and
all
his
gainfull
enterludes
of
Fides

Ne

his
pestilent
painted
traine
of
succession
,
had
been
dasht
in
repeating
,
before
ever
they
had
come
on
stage
.
But
to
the
end
this
recovery
might
be
the
plague
sore
of
the
earth
,
his
deadly
wound
was
healed
,
as
the
Spirit
saith
,
But
the
wound
of
his
death
was
cured
.
For
by
the
pleasing
prayers
and
subtile
intercessions
of
the
Emperours
sister
Placidia
,
whose
beauty
and
body
was
espoused
to
Ataulphus
,
for
such
a
time
his
fury
was
averted
,
and
his
designe
dissolved
,
and
himselfe
not
onely
content
at
her
amorous
mediation
to
grant
the
City
of
Rome
pardon
for
her
name
,
but
also
to
leave
her
eclipsed
and
dying
honour
,
with
all
her
Italy
,
to
her
stupified
Honorius
,
who
for
feare
was
crept
into
his
earth
at
Ravenna
;
and
taking
his
Spouse
Placidia
with
such
dower
as
himselfe
listed
,
departed
Italy
,
and
pitched
his
Tabernacle
in
France
.
then
one
of
the
chiefest
Provinces
of
the
West
Empire
.
And
to
this
Plaister
the
Spirit
pointeth
,
in
saying
,
But
the
wound
of
his
death
was
cured
.
And

holy
Ghost
foreseing
the
greatnesse
of

Beasts
power

how
that
Satan
his

who
had
formed
him
after
the
image
and
perfection
of
his
owne
wickednesse
,
should
afford
him
such
letters
commendatory
to
all
the

which
naturally
loveth
wicked

that
the

of

his
tabernacle

And
last
of
all
,
to
shew
that
there
is
neither
end
nor
measure
in
his
black
,
presumptuous
and
blasphemous
mouth
,
the
Spirit
further
chargeth
him
with
blaspheming
the
Saints
and
servants
of
God
deceased
,
cursing
,
reviling
and
condemning
their
doctrine
,
and
yet
blessing
,
adoring

erecting
their
shadowes
,
sepulchers
,
and
shrines
,
for
mediators
,
intercessors
,
and
reconciliators
betweene
God
and
the
sinner
;
like
their
cursed
fore
elders
the
Israelites
,
who
boasted
in
the
descent
of
their
Father
Abraham
,
and
yet
blasphemed
the
faith
of
Abraham
their
Father
,
of
which
blasphemous
and
indicible
contumely
against
the
Son
of
God
,
and
his
most
holy
Spirit
,
the
Apostle
condemneth
him
,
saying
,
And
those
that
dwell
in

VERS
.
7.
And
it
was
given
unto
him
to
make
battel
with
the
Saints
,
and
to
overcome
them
;
and
power
was
given
him
upon
every
people
,
tribe
,
tongue
,
and
Nation
.
ANd
as
after
lightning
followeth
thunder
,
so
after
Antichrists
blasphemy
followeth
his
persecution
,
as
the
Spirit
testifieth
,
saying
,
And
it
was
given
him
to
bid
battel
to
the
Saints
;
which
the
Prophet
Daniel
by
way
of
exposition
also
plainly
setteth
forth
,
saying
,
That
he
should
murther
and
consume
the
Saints
and
servants
of
the
most
High
,
and
with
the
cursed
Philistims
should
make
his
festivalls
of
Samsons
afflictions
.
And
in
further
amplification
of
this
his
carnificious
fury
,
the
Spirit
setteth
forth
the
largenesse
of
his
charter
and
commission
,
by
an
excessive
loquution
,
foretelling
us
that
it
should
be
so
large
and
generall
,
that
the
fire
of
his
prophane
and
sycophanticall
keys
should
take
hold
upon
every
nation
and
tribe
;
as
if
we
please
to
cast
an
eye
upon
the
time
past
,
and
confer
what
he
had
,
with
what
he
hath
,
we
shall
easily
discerne
the
meaning
of
the
holy
Ghost
in
these
words
,
And
power
was
given
him
upon
every
tribe
,
people
,
tongue
,

VERS
.
8.
And
all
that
inhabit
the
earth
adored
it
,
whose
names
be
not
written
in
the
booke
of
life
,
of
the
Lamb
which
was
slain
from
the
beginning
of
the

THe
holy
Ghost
having
in
the
former
part
of
this
Chapter
discovered
the
birth
,
place
,
person
,
power
,
blasphemie
and
persecution
of
Antichrist
,
descendeth
now
to
the
description
of
his
creatures
and
devotaries
,
foretelling
us
that
they
should
be
such
onely
(
for
unto
such
onely
the
particle
all
is
here
restrained
)
as
have
their
portion
and
interest
in
this
life
,
whose
piety
,
heaven
,
hope
and
glory
is
here
,
and
not
elsewhere
;
which
kind
of
out
and
overcast
Christians
,
the
Spirit
describeth
by
a
periphrasis
most
proper
to
their
naturall
and
inbred
disposition
,
saying
,
they
are
those
that
inhabite
the
earth
;
therein
discovering
them
as
by
a
difference
divisive
from
such
as
are
the
Lords
pilgrims
and
strangers
on
earth
,
having
here
no
permanent
abode
or
place
of
rest
,
but
seeking
the
things
which
are
above
,
attend
with
patience
the
revelation
of
a
life
and
City
to
come
,
not
made
with
hands
,
where
their
Lord
and
their
Redeemer
liveth
.
And
the
Spirit
proceeding
sheweth
further
,
the
supreme
hidden
,
and
unperceivable
reason
why
the
adorers
of
Antichrist
thus
defiled
the
ornaments
of
their
calling
,
and
why
they
loved
lyes
more
then
truth
,
the
Beasts
penance
,
more
then
Gods
repentance
,
the
Beasts
beliefe
,
more
then
faith
towards
God
;
the
Beasts
miserable
merits
,
more
then
the
fruits
of
the
Spirit
,
hatred
of
sin
and
love
of
God
,
because
(
as
holy
David
saith
)
they
were
not
found
in
the
Lords
record
,
nor
written
with
the
righteous
:
for
so
much
the
Spirit
unfoldeth
,
saying
,
whose
names
be
not
written
in
the
Booke
of
life
,
of
the
Lamb
which
was
slaine
from
the
beginning
of
the

9.
If

let

TH'
Apostle
having
sufficiently
deciphered
the
nature
and
carriage
of
Antichrist
and
his
creatures
,
commeth
now
to
discover
his
reward
and
judgment
,
which
howsoever
it
tarry
little
or
long
,
is
of
necessity
the
reward
of
sinne
.
But
before
the
Spirit
draweth
out
his
sword
,
it
pleaseth
him
in
his
accustomed
mercy
,
to
awake
his
Church
and
her
enemies
,
and
to
move
them
to
a
feare
and
reverent
attention
,
by
a
generall
summons

If

VERS

10.
He
that
shall
lead
into
captivity
,
goeth
into
captivity
:
and
he
that
shall
kill
with
the
sword
,
must
be
killed
with
the
sword
:
here
is
the
patience
and
the
faith
of
the
Saints
.
THe
holy
Ghost
in
this
verse
calleth
Antichrist
to
the
Barre
,
and
sets
him
before
the
world
,
for
the
very
hee
,
on
whom
the
wrath
of
God
and
his
heavy
displeasure
is
to
be
executed
.
For
he
,
who
under
colour
and
pretence
of
weeding
out
and
rooting
up
of
heretiques
,
hath
brought
into
the
Church
,
captivity
,
inquisitions
,
tortures
and
torments
,
to
the
horrible
murther
and
slaughter
of
the
Saints
,
when
in
such
cases
(
notwithstanding
)
he
had
neither
precept
nor
example
in
the
life
of
the
Lamb
,
or
his
Apostles
so
to
doe
;
hee
,
even
hee
,
saith
the
Lord
,
is
that
party
,
against
whom
this
just
judgement
of
tallation
is
laid
up
in
store
to
be
executed
upon
him
in
that
day
,
when
the
Lord
shall
bring
againe
the
captivity
of
his
Church
,
which
for
their
sins
,
he
hath
given
up
to
the
sword
and
fury
of
the
Beast
,
untill
she
have
borne
the
burthen
of
her
shame
,
and
(
as
the
Prophet
saith
)
renewed
her
beauty
by
her
sorrows
,
Ezek
.
39.
and
her
glory
by
her
persecutions
,
and
then
shall
be
fullfilled
that
which
was
spoken
by
the
Prophet
,
Wo
to
thee
that
spoyledst
,
and
wast
not
spoyled
:
and
didst
deale
wickedly
,
Isa
.
33.
when
they
did
not
wickedly
against
thee
:
for
when
thou
shalt
cease
to
spoyle
,
thou
shalt
be
spoyled
:
and
when
thy
sin
is
ended
,
thou
shalt
be
rewarded
;
as
here
also
the
Spirit
denounceth
,
contesting
that
God
shall
scourge
him
with
his
owne
inventions
,
and
repay
him
home
in
his
owne
coine
,
saying
,
He
that
shall
lead
into
captivity
,
shall
goe
into
captivity
,
and
he
that
shall
kill
,
shall
be
killed
.
And
in
consolation
of
the
Spouse
,
concludeth
,
that
howsoever
Antichrist
and
his
Delegates
foolishly
thought
,
by
afflicting
the
Church
,
to
destroy
the
Church
,
yet
in
her
afflictions
,
consisteth
the
very
strength
and
approbation
of
her
children
;
for
by
the
things
they
suffer
,
they
learne
obedience
,
and
through
patience
their
faith
is
consecrated
,
by
the
which
they
are
perfected
and
made
inheritable
of
the
promise
of
God
:
all
which
mercy
and
favour
is
commended
unto
them
under
the
hand
and
seale
of
afflictions
,
by
which
,
their
mad
and
drunken
adversaries
thought
to
consume
them
,
and
like
fools
did
not
consider
,
that
as
the
workman
doth
square
the
stone
by
strokes
,
and
as
the
Snake
doth
cast
his
old
skinne
by
passing
through
sharpe
stones
,
so
the
Lord
doth
renew
his
Spouse
by
stripes
,
and
brusheth
off
her
old
affections
,
by
passing
her
through
the
asperitie
of
tribulation
;
which
holy
and
hidden
consideration
,
causeth
the
Spirit
to
honour
the
sufferings
of
the
Saints
so
highly
,
as
to
ascribe
unto
them
the
chiefest
stayes
and
supportations
of
their
precious
hope
and
calling
,
namely
,
patience
and
faith
,
saying
,
Here
is
the
patience
and
faith
of
the
Saints
.
VERS
.
11.
And
I
saw
another
Beast
comming
up
from
the
earth
,
and
he
had
two
hornes
like
the
Lamb
,
but
he
spake
like
the
Dragon
.
THe
holy
Ghost
in
the
verse
foregoing
,
having
pronounced
sentence
of
death
against
Antichrist
,
before
he
comes
to
the
execution
thereof
,
descendeth
to
the
arraignment
and
condemnation
of
his
Clergie
,
that
so
they
may
be
carted
to
the
valley
of
Hinnom
both
together
,
whom
the
Lord
here
figureth
under
the
name
of
the
Beast
,
saying
,
And
I
saw
another
Beast
;
comprehending
under
the
singular
number
of
one
Beast
,
by
a
manner
of
speech
common
to
the
holy
Scriptures
,
the
whole
corporation
and
university
of
false
and
lying
teachers
,
who
from
the
first
Eremite
,
Hypocrite
,
Father
,
Priest
,
Monk
,
Fryer
,
to
the
last
trumping
and
vagabond
Iesuite
,
have
avouched
the
honour
and
adoration
of
Antichrist
,
And
is
most
aptly
deciphered
by
their
earthly
,
sensuall
,
and
divellish
minds
,
in
pointing
to
their
countrey
and
place
of
extraction
,
whence
and
where
such
weeds
doe
grow
,
saying
,
comming
up
from
the
earth
.
And
commendeth
their
making
and
acquaintance
to
us
,
by
two
exquisite
tokens
,
the
one
their
person
,
the
other
their
doctrine
.
Touching
their
shape
and
person
,
the
Spirit
saith
,
that
it
was
in
robe
and
exteriour
appearance
,
the
very
face
and
countenance
of
the
Lamb
,
dockt
and
garnished
with
his
owne
two
hornes
,
to
wit
,
the
Law
and
the
Gospel
,
wherewith
the
Lamb
doth
save
and
kill
;
for
so
the
Spirit
saith
,
And
he
had
two
hornes
like
the
Lamb
.
But
as
concerning
the
use
and
force
of
the
hornes
,
the
Spirit
saith
,
they
were
therein
so
contrary
to
the
Lamb
,
that
when
they
did
open
,
either
to
teach
the
Law
or
preach
the
Gospel
,
they
spake
and
taught
like
the
Dragons
Doctours
,
and
like
the
Priests
of
Jupiter
,
teaching
and
preaching
unto
the
children
of
the
world
,
that
they
ought
to
worship
the
God
of
heaven
,
as
the
Dragons
Priests
had
taught
their
fathers
to
worship
the
Gods
of
the
heathen
.
Which
detestable
prophanation
of
the
worship
of
God
,
and
preposterous
adoration
of
his
name
,
the
Spirit
detecteth
,
in
saying
,
But
he
spake
like
the
Dragon
.
VERS
.
12.
And
all
the
power
of
the
first
Beast
he
did
in
his
sight
,
and
he
made
the
earth
and
the
inhabitants
therein
to
adore
the
first
Beast
,
whose
wound
of
death
was
cured
.
BY
the
power
of
the
first
Beast
,
is
meant
the
purpose
and
plot
of
the
Dragon
,
for
the
upholding
and
establishment
of
their
false
and
godlesse
religion
,
to
the
prophanation
and
extinction
of
the
true
worship
and
service
of
God
,
which
forasmuch
as
he
could
not
effect
by
force
and
open
enmitie
,
I
meane
by
the
bloody
persecutions
of
his
prophane
and
Ethnick
Caesars
,
he
did
devise
to
put
a
new
string
to
his
old
bow
,
and
to
work
it
out
by
fraud
and
falshood
of
friends
,
and
thereupon
perswaded
his
Ethnick
Caesars
,
that
in
policie
it
was
the
best
to
play
Christians
,
forasmuch
as
the
world
was
now
so
given
,
as
Jupiter
with
all
h●s
idols
must
needs
give
place
to
Christ
,
because
most
voices
went
that
way
.
And
the
better
to
bring
the
mystery
of
iniquity
to
passe
,
he
caused
his
new
christened
Caesars
to
set
up
a
race
of
sycophanticall
high
,
and
princely
Priests
,
who
under
colour
of
proctering
the
affairs
of
the
Lamb
,
should
cunningly
clap
Jupiters
coat
upon
the
Lambs
back
,
and
bestow
all
the
ceremonies
and
ritualls
of
Jupiter
and
his
idolls
upon
Christ
;
that
so
,
by
turning
Jupiters
worship
into
Christianisme
,
he
might
turne
the
worship
of
God
into
Paganisme
and
idolatry
,
and
that
so
,
he
might
at
the
least
,
prophane
and
desolate
the
true
worship
of
the
true
God
,
whose
Majesty
and
truth
of
deitie
,
they
could
no
way
blemish
.
And
for
the
better
successe
in
this
their
project
,
should
cause
to
be
erected
throughout
all
Kingdomes
and
Nations
,
certaine
covents
and
swarmes
of
false
,
ungodly
and
prostituted
Clerks
,
who
by
avouching
and
maintaining
against
all
commers
,
that
Antichrists
name
is
Simon
Peter
;
and
that
the
supremacie
his
Caesars
and
his
Kings
gave
him
,
is
the
very
keys
of
heaven
and
hell
,
which
the
Lamb
committed
to
the
dispensation
of
his
Saints
and
servants
:
and
that
the
throne
and
seat
of
wickednesse
,
is
Peters
Chaire
and
Sea
Apostolique
;
and
that
the
execrable
forme
of
Jupiters
worship
,
wherein
his
Lords
and
Caesars
delighted
,
is
the
very
true
worship
and
service
of
God
,
which
the
Lamb
and
his
Apostles
delivered
.
And
by
these
mists
,
legerdemains
,
and
new
editions
of
old
idolatry
,
should
establish
in
the
sight
of
Antichrist
,
the
selfe
same
prophanation
,
and
devout
impiety
,
which
his
Antecessors
the
Caesars
so
ardently
embraced
;
for
so
much
the
Spirit
rippeth
up
,
in
saying
,
And
all
the
power
of
the
first
Beast
he
did
in
the
sight
of
Antichrist
:
and
thereby
so
strongly
deluded
and
seduced
the
children
of
disobedience
(
most
properly
here
,
as
elsewhere
,
described
by
the
name
of
the
earth
and
the
inhabitants
therein
)
that
they
loathed
the
Sacrifices
of
the
God
of
heaven
,
and
refused
to
worship
;
as
the
Lord
commanded
,
and
chose
rather
(
as
the
Spirit
saith
)
to
adore
the
first
Beast
,
that
is
to
say
,
to
worship
the
God
of
their
fathers
,
as
the
Dragon
commanded
them
,
just
after
the
prescription
of
his
Caesars
,
and
manner
of
the
heathen
.
And
that
we
may
the
better
discerne
,
from
whom
those
Proctors
of
Don
Antichrist
borrowed
this
their
abominable
Church
service
,
the
Spirit
remembreth
the
repaired
wound
of
their
masters
creditors
pate
,
mentioned
in
the
third
verse
,
Whose
wound
of
death
was
cured
.
VERS
.
13.
And
he
did
many
signes
,
so
that
he
made
fire
to
come
downe
from
heaven
to
the
earth
,
in
the
sight
of
men
.
THe
holy
Ghost
having
arraigned
and
condemned
the
Clergy
of
Antichrist
,
touching
their
doctrine
,
proceedeth
further
to
detect
their
abomination
and
forgery
,
in
seeking
to
confirme
their
false
doctrine
by
lying
signes
and
works
of
wonder
;
condemning
therein
,
first
their
vanity
;
secondly
their
presumption
.
For
as
nothing
can
be
more
vaine
and
ungodly
,
then
to
seeke
by
lying
signes
and
wonders
to
confirme
the
doctrine
of
the
Lamb
and
his
servants
,
which
is
all
sufficiently
established
by
their
owne
magnificent
and
divine
miracles
,
unto
which
the
Church
of
God
upon
her
allegiance
is
enjoyned
to
subscribe
:
so
nothing
can
be
more
presumptious
and
wicked
,
then
to
attempt
by
signes
and
wonders
the
confirmation
of
any
other

In
which
regard
the
holy
Ghost
,
squaring
the
miracles
of
these
exorcists
after
the
rule
of
their
doctrine

which
was
in

in

the

calleth
also
their
lying

heavenly
fires

saying
,
So
that
he
made
fire
to
come
downe
from
heaven
to
the
earth
,
in
the
sight
of
men
:
not
that
they
were
in
deed
and
in
truth
so
,
but
that
they
seemed
so
to
be
,
in
the
eyes
of
men
,
because
they
were
wrought
by
these
vagabond
exorcists
,
under
a
pretended
and
colourable
imitation
of
the
name
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
who
of
all
heavenly
powers
and
fires
is
the
true
Lord
and
soveraigne
commander
;
so
these
Clerks
of
Antichrist
must
be
sutable
in
their
wickednesse
,
that
as
their
doctrine
was
opposite
to
the
truth
of
Christ
,
so
their
wonders
might
contrary
the
power
of
Christ
,
by
a
colourable
imitation
of
the
miracles
of
Christ
,
and
might
be
a
true
and
perfect
depravation
of
the
same
.

saying

,
foretelleth
us
,
that
as

Elias
,
by
the
miracles
of
heavenly
fire
,
did
induce
and
draw
the
good
unto
the
feare
of
God
,
so
these
imposters
of
Antichrist
,
by
the
lure
of
their
false
and
lying
fires
,
should
seduce
and
draw
all
dung-hill
and
earthly
minded
men
from
the
feare
of
God
,
in
such
sure
and
devoted
sort
,
as
that
they
should
perswade
them
to
make
the
picture
and
image
of
the
Beasts
Religion
,
and
to
embrace
and
erect
such
a
Christianisme
,
as
should
in
all
points
counterfeit
and
represent
the
Paganisme
of
the
Dragon
;
attiring

Jupiters
prophanation

holy

honourable
names
of
God
,
Jesus
,
Spirit

Scriptures

And

that
divine

eternall
Tabernacle
which
he

Antichrist
(
Lord
of

commanded
his
propudious
Clergie
to
cause
all
people

,
to
set
up
such

should

answer
the
idea

platforme
of
that
prophane
and
execrable
heathenisme
wherewith
he
saw
the
Gentiles
enamoured
;
and
hereby
so
strongly
seduced
the
inhabitants
on
earth
,
that
they
verily
thought
the
mystery
of
iniquity
to
be
pure
and
undefiled
christianity
,
and
that
the
abomination
of
desolation
,
forespoken
by
Daniel
the
Prophet
,
is
the
only
true
,
ancient
,
Catholique
and
Apostolique
religion
;
teaching
them
that
perish
by
consenting
unto
lies
,
that
they
ought
to
worship
God
as
the
Gentiles
did
worship
Jupiter
;
perswading
them
that
as
the
Gentiles
had
their
Arae
,
so
Christians
must
have
their
Altars
;

as
the

must
Antichrist

so
must
Antichrist
Canonize

so
Antichrist
must
enact
canon
lawes

as
that
Beast
commanded

Iuno

Cane
vota
libens
,
so
this
Beast
commanded
Christians
to
please
their
God
with
vowes
;
and
as
the
Dragon
had
his
Triceps
Hecate
,
so
Antichrist
must
have
his
Triple
Tiara
,
to
signifie
his
triple
pretended
jurisdiction
;
and
as
the
Dragon
had
his
Hexaphoron
,
so
must
Antichrist
be
carried
up
and
downe
;
briefly
,
as
the
Dragons
Priests
did
teach
the
heathen
to
worship
Iupiter
as
God
,
so
Antichrists
Clergy
must
teach
their

look
what

the

the

must
Antichrist
in
his
person
parallel

maintaine

And
to
the
end
we
may
undoubtedly
discern
what
and
of
whose

the

speaketh

the

remembreth
now
the
third

his

that
it

the
only
stroke
(
for
many
swords
did
pierce
the
Dragon
,
as
his
had
pierced
many

but
the
first
stroke
of
a
sword
,
which
from
the
beginning
and
rising
of
the
Dragons
Empire
and
regiment
by
Caesars
,
did
remeasure
the
fury
of
the
sword
upon
his

of
state
,
as
the

noteth
saying
,
which

VERS

And
it
was
given
to
him
to
give
spirit
to

the

should
speake

and
should
make
that
whosoever
honoured
not
the
image
of
the
Beast
be
slaine

ANd
such
art
and
perswasible
power
was
given
to
those
inchanters
and
apostates
of
Antichrist
,
that
they
infused
such
a
quickning
spirit
,
such
a
life
,
giving
animation
into
the
Ethnick
dead
and
desolate
image
of
the
Dragons
religion
,
by
guilding
it
over
with
the
reverend
,
divine

honorable
names
of
God
omnipotent
,
Christ
Jesus
the
righteous
,
his
holy
Spirit
,
his
precious
blood
,
his
sacred
word
,
his
blessed
Sacraments
,
&c.
that
they
easily
perswaded
the
blear-eyed
world
to
think
and
beleeve
,
that
the
execrable
forme
and
image
of
Jupiters
abomination
,
commanded
by
the
Dragon
and
his
Caesars
,
was
the
very
true
worship
and
service
of
God
,
commanded
by
the
Lamb
and
his
servants
;
and
that
the
picture
of
Jupiter
Olympius
,
which
their
Lord
Epiphanes
had
set
up
and
placed
in
Sanctum
Sanctorum
,
was
the
very
Ark
,
and
propitiatory
of
God
,
set
up
and
erected
by
Moses
his
servant
;
and
their
abominable
mysticall
Masse
,
the
Sacrifice
of
an
unbloody
Messias
,
made
of
bread
of
their
owne
baking
(
which
the
Patriarks
,
Prophets
and
Apostles
never
heard
nor
dreamed
of
)
is
a
Sacrifice
not
Eucharisticall
,
but
propitiatory
,
and
so
all-sufficient
for
the
atonement
and
reconciliation
of
God
unto
the
sinner
,
as
if
it
were
figured
and
sealed
in
the
precious
blood
of
the
Lord
of
the
Covenant
;
and
that
the
horrible
prophane
and
detestable
supper
of
Thyestes
,
is
the
very
true
,
holy
and
comfortable
commemoration
of
the
Lords
love
in
giving
his
life
for
the
children
of
the
Church
,
and
their
thankfull
communion
and
celebration
of
the
same
.
And
by
these
and
such
like
inchantments
,
these
Proctors
of
Antichrist
so
baffled
and
blinded
the
Princes
and
Protectors
of
their
synagogues
,
that
they
inzeal'd
them
to
authorize
and
erect
inquisitions
,
executions
,
and
torments
against
all
such
as
refuse
to
honour
and
adore
the
idol-service
and
desolation
of
their
Antiochus
;
and
that
all
such
as
doe
but
mutter
against
the
magnificence
of
their
Church
and
her
worship
,
which
all
the
world
adoreth

should
be
accounted
as
Infoelioc
Lolium

Lollards

Heretiques

excommunicates

the
admirable

is
the

VERS
.
18.
Here
is
wisdome
;
he
that
hath
understanding
,
let
him
count
the
number
of
the
Beast
,
for
it
is
the
number
of
a
man
,
and
his

is

THe
holy
Ghost
intending
to
reveale
in
this
verse
,
the
secret
councell
and
purpose
of
God
,
concerning
the
period
and
finall
end
of
Antichrist
and
his
Church-dominion
,
prepareth
his
Reader
to
attention
by
a
little
short
Preface
,
intimating
the
it
is
the
discovery
of
a
mystery
and
point
of
high
understanding
,
saying
,
Here
is
wisdome
;
wherein
lest
we
should
overrashly
judge
(
as
many
have
done
)
the
Spirit
maketh
choice
of
his
auditors
,
and
addeth
for
a
bar
,
not
he
that
will
,
but
he
that
can
,
and
hath
understanding
,
let
him
audite
and
count
the
number
of
the
Beast
;
He
that
hath
understanding
,
let
him
count
the
number
of
the
Beast
;
whom
lest
we
should
imagine
to
be
a
spirit
or
other
creature
of
strange
shape
(
as
some
have
vainly
phantasied
)
the
Spirit
calleth
him
a
man
,
saying
,
For
it
is
the
number
of
a
man
,
comprehending
by
a
Synecdoche
under
the
word
Man
,
a
successive
state
and
Kingdome
of
men
,
after
the
speaking
and
stile
of
the
Prophets
:
for
so
the
Lord
informed
his
servant
Moses
to
speake
,
Exod

Let
my
sonne
goe
,
that
is
,
let
my
People
of
Israel
depart
;
Dan
.
7.
and
so
in
Daniel
,
under
the
forme
and
name
of
foure
singular
Beasts
,
Dan
.
8.
are
designed
foure
severall
Monarchies
,
most
of
them
containing
a
long
succession
of
many
Monarchs
,
The
Ramme
which
thou
sawest
are
the
Kings
of
the
Medes
and
Persians
:
after
which
manner
of
speaking
,
the
Spirit
speaketh
also
in
this
place
,
and
under
the
name
of
a
man
,
presenteth
unto
us
the
whole
race
and
succession
of
men
of
sinne
,
whose
totall
summe
is
one
Antichrist
,
the
bounds
and
limits
of
whose
dominion
and
tyranny
,
the
holy
Ghost
imp●leth
within
the
circuit
of
a
certaine
sure
prefixed
period
and
determinate
number
of
yeares
,
saying
,
And
the
number
of
him
is
six
hundred
sixty
six
.
Wherein
many
,
as
well
ancient
as
late
writers
(
as
in
the
rest
)
have
vainly
imagined
,
that
Antichrist
is
one
singular
person
,
which
must
suddenly
start
up
,
and
after
three
civill
yeares
and
a
halfe
depart
againe
;
and
that
he
must
bee
by
birth
a
Iew
,
and
of
the
Tribe
of
Dan
,
when
notwithstanding
those
cursed
Scatterbags
have
neither
Tribe
nor
shadow
of
Tribe
left
amongst
them
;
and
that
he
must
reigne
in
Ierusalem
,
of
which
Citie
and
Temple
,
there
is
not
any
one
stone
left
upon
another
;
and
that
he
must
kill
Enoch
and
Elias
,
who
are
to
appeare
about
the
Kalends
of
Greece
;
with
divers
other
such
legendary
phantasies
,
never
meant
nor
sent
from
God
:
so
in
this
point
also
concerning
the
number
of
Antichrist
,
they
have
given
up
an
account
so
far
from
the
audite
of
truth
,
as
nothing
can
be
more
.
And
as
men
that
thought
it
worth
the
labour
to
find
a
knot
in
a
rush
,
so
by
a
conceited
framing
and
anagramming
of
letters
,
they
have
endeavoured
to
find
out
such
a
name
,
as
by
characters
might
express
the
number
666
;
and
withall
might
something
square
either
with
the
name
,
nature
,
blasphemie
or
residence
of
the
Bishops
of
Rome
,
as
{αβγδ}
for
{αβγδ}
,
Remiith
Adonikam
,
filius
perditionis
,
&c.
whereunto
also
may
be
added
the
conjectures
of
John
Wickliffe
,
John
Bale
,
Francis
Junius
,
men
otherwise
of
good
and
worthy
memory
in
the
Church
of
God
;
as
also
the
conjectures
of
others
as
worthy
and
honourable
as
they
,
that
have
referred
the
number
of
666.
to
the
time
of
Antichrists
revealing
and
yeare
of
rising
,
when
notwithstanding
it
is
a
strange
voyce
,
and
not
knowne
to
the
eares
of
the
Scriptures
,
for
the
word
number
to
be
used
for
the
beginning
and
rising
of
any
terme
of
time
limited
and
predicted
by
the
Prophets
,
but
onely
for
the
end
,
period
,
and
determination
thereof
.
But
if
it
were
lawfull
to
s●ile
in
so
grave
an
inquisition
,
amongst
all
phantasticall
charmes
and
cabalisticall
conjectures
upon
this
word
number
,
there
is
none
more
ridiculous
then
that
which
most
pleaseth
our
Rhetoricall
Rhemists
,
who
by
a
rare
supputation
of
characters
,
have
as
roundly
found
out
the
Beasts
number
as
the
Sodomites
did
the
doors
of
Lot
,
in
the
name
Luderus
,
which
in
the
Almain
tongue
is
the
name
of
Luther
:
and
although
we
are
sure
,
they
cannot
so
much
as
think
upon
the
poor
Frier
Luther
,
but
for
very
feare
they
stinke
all
the
world
over
;
yet
this
device
so
tickleth
the
Clergy
of
Antichrist
,
that
they
pretend
to
laugh
for
joy
.
But
as
for
their
prefixed
time
of
three
naturall
or
civill
yeares
and
a
halfe
(
which
they
allot
to
the
reigne
and
rage
of
their
Antichrist
)
it
doth
so
unevenly
square
with
Luther
or
Lutherans
continuance
,
that
these
miserable
Sardonians
are
faine
to
eat
their
word
,
and
to
endure
the
foolish
world
to
laugh
at
them
,
whiles
as
dying
they
faine
would
seem
to
laugh
at
it
.
But
to
leave
these
cursed
leaders
of
the
cursed
blind
,
and
returne
againe
to
those
that
have
thought
to
calculate
and
find
out
the
mystery
of
Antichrists
number
666
in
a
word
,
at
a
word
we
say
they
are
deceived
and
erre
,
not
knowing
the
power
and
construction
of
the
Scripture
.
For
first
,
by
the
word
name
,
delivered
in
the
former
verse
,
in
these
words
,
Or
the
number
of
his
name
,
is
meant
the
very
ex●stence
and
person
of
the
man
of
sin
,
by
a
propriety
of
speech
common
to
holy
Scriptures
,
as
Acts
1.15
.
Apoc
.
3.4
.
&
11.13
.
where
(
by
an
Hebraisme
)
names
signifie
men
,
and
are
converted
with
the
parties
and
persons
themselves
,
as
the
name
of
God
in
holy
Scripture
is
often
taken
for
God
himselfe
:
and
therefore
as
in
the
former
verse
,
the
Scripture
calleth
it
the
number
of
his
name
,
so
in
this
verse
,
he
calleth
it
the
number
of
a
man
,
understanding
by
a
man
(
as
is
aforesaid
)
the
totall
sum
of
that
succession
of
beastly
men
,
which
make
and
constitute
the
existence
and
person
of
one
Antichrist
:
and
by
the
word
number
,
is
meant
the
fatall
end
and
finall
determination
of
their
reigne
and
government
:
for
so
the
finger
of
God
speaketh
to
Belshazzar
,
God
hath
numbred
thy
Kingdome
,
that
is
,
God
hath
ended
and
finished
the
dayes
of
thy
Kingdome
:
so
that
the
number
of
his
name
,
or
the
number
of
the
man
,
is
nothing
else
but
the
period
and
finall
determination
of
the
usurped
tyranny
and
domination
of
Antichrist
;
which
the
Lamb
,
the
Lord
and
preserver
of
Israel
,
for
the
glory
of
his
name
,
consolation
of
his
Church
,
and
confusion
of
her
foes
,
with
a
mighty
and
outstretched
arme
shall
bring
to
passe
in
the
yeare
which
shall
be
666.
For
forasmuch
as
the
egge
of
Antichristianism
was
laid
in
the
dayes
of
Innocent
the
first
,
successor
to
Anastasius
the
first
also
of
that
name
,
in
the
yeare
of
salvation
406.
as
is
before
declared
;
and
that
by
expresse
commission
,
there
was
furthermore
granted
to
the
Beast
,
his
heirs
and
successors
1260.
years
,
for
the
hatching
,
fostering
and
perfecting
this
child
of
perdition
and
mystery
of
iniquity
,
which
being
added
to
406.
by
rule
of
true
audite
must
needs
verifie
this
admirable
judgement
,
which
the
Spirit
of
God
hath
here
denounced
and
determined
to
make
good
upon
him
in
the
yeare
which
shall
be
1666.
In
which
account
and
discovery
of
his
end
,
the
holy
Ghost
of
purpose
leaveth
out
the
millenary
number
,
as
not
onely
knowne
perfect
and
immutable
(
for
that
these
vile
and
evill
dayes
shall
not
exceed
more
thousands
then
one
)
but
as
respecting
also
the
common
use
of
all
Nations
,
as
well
Hebrews
as
Gentiles
,
who
in
their
stiles
(
for
brevitie
sake
)
do
no
lesse
often
speak
and
write
by
th'
imperfect
number
,
omitting
the
millenary
,
then
after
the
perfect
,
adding
the
millenary
,
as
Munster
well
observeth
.
Vide
Calendarium
Hebraicum
Sebastiani
Munsteri
.
And
in
that
year
my
Lord
of
Rome
shall
lay
down
his
proud
waves
and
although
he
fortifie
never
so
strong
,
and
lay
his
foundation
as
low
as
hell
,
and
build
his
●urrets
as
high
as
heaven
,
and
place
his
Miter
above
the
stars
,
yet
in
that
day
he
shall
die
the
death
of
the
uncircumcised
,
and
perish
like
the
Amorite
,
Amos
2.9
.
whose
fruit
is
destroyed
from
above
,
and
root
from
beneath
;
and
the
multitude
of
his
offences
shall
consume
the
multitude
of
his
forces
;
and
it
shall
be
more
possible
for
him
and
easie
unto
him
,
to
weigh
the
fire
,
or
measure
the
wind
,
or
call
againe
the
day
that
is
past
,
or
recover
the
verdure
of
the
withered
grasse
(
as
a
holy
one
faith
)
then
to
avoid
this
counsell
and
decree
of
his
downfall
here
determined
by
the
Spirit
against
him
,
saying
,
And
the
number
of
him
is
666.
And
then
all
Kingdoms
and
people
shall
see
th'eternity
of
that
eternall
City
(
as
one
of
her
own
calleth
it
)
and
th'immortality
of
her
soul
,
meaning
the
soveraign
power
and
supremacie
of
her
Caesars
and
high
Priests
,
to
wither
,
die
,
and
forsake
the
earth
for
ever
:
and
as
Babylon
her
mother
left
unto
her
th'
inheritance
of
her
pride
and
prophanations
,
so
shall
she
also
leave
unto
her
the
heritage
of
her
death
and
judgements
:
for
as
her
glory
hath
been
great
,
so
shall
her
dishonour
,
when
all
her
excellency
shall
be
translated
into
shame
and
sorrow
.
Now
therfore
as
King
Belshazzar
cried
aloud
,
when
he
saw
the
hand-writing
against
him
,
that
they
should
bring
the
Chaldeans
,
Astrologians
and
inchanters
to
read
and
interpret
;
so
thou
that
once
and
long
before
our
dayes
,
hast
been
deemed
by
Laws
of
all
Nations
a
power
so
soveraigne
and
holy
,
call
now
about
thee
thy
Councell
and
thy
Clergy
(
who
call
themselves
good
men
,
learned
and
wise
,
whose
onely
grace
is
to
love
antiquity
,
gravity
,
wisdome
and
constancy
)
call
them
I
say
,
cloath
them
with
purple
and
chaine
them
with
gold
,
yet
shall
they
not
deliver
thee
from
this
judgement
to
come
;
but
as
the
mill-stone
which
the
mighty
Angel
tooke
and
cast
into
the
sea
,
which
may
not
rise
and
float
againe
,
with
such
violence
thou
and
thy
Church
in
that
houre
shall
be
thrown
down
,
and
shall
be
found
no
more
.
And
all
such
Kings
on
earth
,
or
rather
Kings
of
earth
,
whose
love
thou
hast
stollen
,
to
the
losse
of
their
souls
,
that
have
lived
in
drunkennesse
,
delights
and
wantonnesse
with
thee
,
shall
weep
and
waile
for
thee
(
as
for
their
first-borne
)
when
they
shall
see
the
smoake
of
thy
torm●nts
ascend
,
and
the
Apples
which
thy
soule
lusted
after
,
to
depart
from
thee
,
and
no
man
to
buy
thy
trash
and
commodities
any
more
▪
for
that
God
which
judgeth
thee
,
is
a
strong
Lord
,
and
thy
derision
shall
be
the
joy
and
Allelujah
of
Sion
But
her
fai●e
and
ha●c●on
day
may
not
long
endure
before
the
Lord
(
that
with
justice
judgeth
and
fighteth
)
shall
come
in
the
clouds
of
heaven
,
to
render
unto
every
man
according
to
the
wayes
wherein
his
heart
hath
wa●ked
,
as
more
directly
is
revealed
in
the
20.
Chapter
following
.
But
as
concerning
the
day
and
houre
of
the
comming
of
that
Lord
,
who
for
the
glory
of
his
name
shall
bring
these
things
to
passe
,
it
is
fast
sealed
up
in
the
treasury
of
God
,
far
beyond
the
aime
of
all
his
servants
on
earth
,
or
Angels
in
heaven
;
and
yet
his
beloved
servant
Daniel
is
bold
in
spirit
,
and
layeth
downe
the
yeare
to
be
the
five
and
fortieth
yeare
(
according
to
his
Chaldaicall
supputation
)
after
the
consumption
and
extermination
of
Antichrist
,
that
it
may
be
fulfilled
which
was
spoken
by
the
Prophet
,
Amos
3.7
.
Verily
the
Lord
of
hoasts
will
doe
nothing
,
but
he
revealeth
his
secrets
unto
his
Servants
the
Prophets

from
