7. p. 373. Edit Romae 1648. 70000 Hereticks were slain in few days that is 70000 Protestants were then and there murdered by the Papists And can we forget or omit to mention the late bloody Butcheries of Protestants by the Barbarous cruel Irish-Papists Anno 1641. when 100000. were murthered And if the bloody Invasion Anno 1588. and the Horrid Gun-powder Treason Novvember 5th 1605. And the bloody traiterous design of Popish Recusants as the King calls it (o) In his Majesties Declaration for banishing all Papists Ten miles from London Octob. 30. 1678. Even that damnable and Hellish-Plot as the Parliament voted it contrived and carried on by Popish Recusants for Assassinating and Murdering the King and for Subverting the Government and rooting out and destroying the Protestant Religion (p) The Votes of the Commons read to the Lords and by them also approved at a Conference 1st Nov. 1678. had taken Effect many more Protestants in England had been ere this Day murdered and massacred by the blood-thirsty-Papists And these barbarous bloody and damnable Persecutions and Practices of the Papists are grounded on the very Doctrine Religion and Faith of the Church of Rome which is not to be found in any other party of the whole Christian world so called besides Whereby it is evident to those that have understanding That the Church of Rome is the great bloody Whore viz. that purple and scarlet Coloured Whore the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth Revel 17.1 4 5. Proposition IV. That the Roman-Priests are the false Prophet BY the Roman-Priests I mean and intend the Pope the Cardinals the Jesuits and all those Priests that do receive Orders of Priest-hood from the Church of Rome and ackowledge HER to be the Catholick Church believe Her Doctrines obey her Canons and Teach Her damnable Heresies That the Roman-Priests are the false Prophet doth plainly appear by the false Doctrines of the Church of Rome which they believe and teach I call them the Doctrines of the Church of Rome which are approved by the publick Authority of that Church by their established Laws their Popes Bulls Decretals and Constitutions or the Canons of their Provincial National or general Councils All which are approved and confirmed in their Trent Council (a) Con. Trident. Sess 25. de Reformatione cap. 20.

Super formâ Juramenti Professionis fidei in calce Sess 25. Concilii Trident. datam Romae Id. Nov. 1564. de Reformatione cap. 12. I shall at present instance in three known Doctrines of the Church of Rome 1. The Doctrine of the Popes Supremacy over all Princes Kings and Emperours of the Earth This pernicious Doctrine of the Church of Rome is taught by the Roman-Priests (c) Blasius Bagnus de S. Romanae Ecclesiae dignitatibus Tract 7. pag. 83 84.85 Blasius Bagnus a Prior general tells us That the Popes Empire is over all the World and that HE is the only Vicar of God who hath Supreme Power and Rule over all Kings and Princes of the Earth (d) Sic. Simanca Enchir. Judicum Tit. 67. §. 12. p. 349. Antwerp Anno 1573. Jacobus Simanca a Roman-Bishop whose Book is Printed cum publico Privilegio and Commended by the Censor librorum the learned Ben. Arias Montanus who saith That he had read it And that it contained nothing offensive to the Catholick Faith Hereticks saith Simanca are actually deprived of all Dominion and Jurisdiction and their Subjects freed from their Obedience and this comprehends Kings and other Lords And Emanuel Sa a famous Jesuite affirmes (e) Eman. Sa Aphor. Confess Verbo Clericus pag. 41. Col. 1599. That if a Clergyman Rebel against his King it is no Treason because saith he Clergy-Men are not the Kings Subjects These false Prophets have taught and maintained this false Doctrine 2. The Doctrine of Justification by works which are say they meritorious and satisfactory I need not spend Time and wast Paper in proving that the Church of Rome and all her Clergy own and teach this Doctrine (f) Conc. Coloniens pag. 140. 141. Becan Ibid. Concil Trident. Sess 6. cap. 6. Bellarm. lib. 1. de just cap. 13. de Purgot lib. 1. cap. 14. Rhem.

Concil Trident. lib. 6. therefore I will briefly prove that it is false Doctrine whereby it will appear that the Roman-Priests are false Teachers Deceivers and the false Prophet The Apostle Paul gives it in holy writ as the Conclusion of all Christs Apostles Rom. 3.28 Therefore we conclude saith he that a man is justified by Faith without the Deeds of the Law And Gal. 2.16 Knowing that a Man is not justified by the works of the Law but by the Faith of Jesus Christ For by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified It may be objected that the Apostle James saith expresly That by works a man is Justified and not by Faith only Jam. 2.24 and Instanceth in Abraham ver 21. Was not Abraham our Father justified by works I Answer That a mans Person is justified by Faith before God and works justifie his Faith before Men And this seems to be the Mind of both those Apostles For St. Paul saith expresly Rom. 4.2 If Abraham were justified by works he hath whereof to glory but not before God And St. James speaks of shewing our Faith by our works before Men vers 18. I will shew thee my Faith by my Works And so Peter Martyr and other of the Ancients used to Distinguish Faith saith he justifies our Persons and good Works justifie our Faith 3. The Doctrine of the false worship of God which consists of many particular Parts that the Church of Rome Practiseth and the Roman Priests teach all which are asserted confirmed and established by the Laws Canons and general Councils of the Church of Rome And the Romish Clergy by teaching for Doctrines the Commandments of Men touching the Worship of God (g) Joan. Bal. in vitâ Innocent 3d. saith that Innocent 3d. Commanded that the Words of the Canon of the Masse should be held equal to the words of the Gospel Card. Cusanus entitleth his Book De Authoritate Ecclesiae Concilii supra contra Scripturam Henricus Doctor magister suori palatii Roma ad Legatos

unto the Beast of the seventh and eighth Head viz. the Pope of Rome The Roman-Heathen yea and Christian Emperours stood in the Popes Way and did let and hinder his Rise and Reigning Power until they were Removed out of his Way as was foretold by the Apostle Paul 2 Thes 2 3 4 7 8 9 10. And thus it came to pass Constantine the Great leaving Rome and making Constantinople the Imperial Seat thereby sede vacante the then Bishop of Rome got full Possession of that City And so the Chief Bishop of Rome continued his Primacy from that Time until at last the Western Empire determined in Augustulus anno 475. or thereabouts And about the year 607. the then Bishop of Rome Boniface the III. obtained from Phocas the Emperour of the East That not the Patriarch of Constantinople but the Bishop of Rome be universal-Bishop But for all this Rise and Advance Avent Annal. Boyor lib. 5. and pag. 447. and lib. 9. The Beast of the eighth Head the Pope of Rome IS NOT of the Seven that is to say HE is not Supreme as the Roman Emperours were For although the Emperours assumed the Title of Pontifex Maximus (e) Dionys Halicarnas Ant. Rom. 12. And Godwin's Antiq l. 2. Sect. 2. cap. 15. and added it to the Imperial Crown yet the Imperial Crown of the Roman Government and Kingdom was not added to the Pope of Rome (f) Petra dedit Petro Petrus Diadema Rodulpho Bellar. de Concil lib. 2. cap. l. 2. c. 17. until Henry the IV. Emperour whom Gregory the VII Excommunicated and Deposed and Made Rodulphus Emperour in his stead And afterwards when Henry the V. came to Rome to be Crowned by Pope Pascal II. The Pope would not consent to his Coronation untill the Emperour did give over all Right of Election of Popes and of Investures of Bishops by Staff and Ring And thus the Pope gained the Power of Temporal Soveraignty and so IS of the Seven Nor did all this Episcopal Pontificial and Imperial Dignity Power and Authority fill and satisfie the Beastly Pope of Rome until he obtained Supremacy above all general Councils (g) Bellarmine boasteth saying The last Lateran Council under Leo 10th expresly and professedly teacheth That the Pope is above all Councils Bellar. de Concil l. 2. c. 17. And so the Pope became Pontifex Maximus the chief high Priest who translated Kings and Emperours at his Pleasure Bellarmine (h) Bellar de trans Imp. Rom. in tribus libris per Episcopi Rom. authoritatem saith The Roman Empire was by the Authority of the Pope translated from the Graecians to the French and from Charles the Great and the French unto the Family of Otho and the Saxons which is now the Roman Papal Empire of Germany with its seven Electors Secondly The Roman Beast also that WAS is described by his Present State 1. Negatively And is NOT. 2. Affirmatively And yet IS (i) Rev. 17.8 9. Herein lyeth another Mystery And here is the Mind that hath Wisdom to know in what Respect the Roman Beast is NOT and yet IS I will not be positive nor dare I presume to make a determinate Judgment and to give a Resolution herein but I humbly offer my Opinion and submit it to the Mind that hath Wisdom and let him that hath understanding in this Mystery judge what I say It is said HE is NOT with Respect to those five Kings or Kinds of Kingly Government viz. Kings Consuls Dictators Decemvirs Ancients Irenaeus l. 5. adversus Haeres c. 28. Tertul. de Resur car c. 25. Ander Caesar Episc cap. 36. in Apoc. 13. v. 1. Beda in Apoc. 13. v. 1. and Tribunes which were fallen that is past and gone before St. John's time For this BEAST which rose out of the Sea of the Troubles and Confusions in Rome and in the Roman Empire and out of the Earth of the Apostacies (k) 1 Tim. 4.1 2 3. and 2 Thes 2.3 4 5. which the Apostle foretold should be in the latter Days and which the Angel was now Revealing unto John (l) Rev. 13.1 and ver 11. and Rev. 17.3.7 8. viz. Papal Rome Is NOT yet Come Rev. 17.10 that is HE was not in Being when St. John write this Book And yet HE IS that is to say ONE IS Modern Joan. Viguer Instit Theol. c. 21. Sect. 3. v. 4. Nich. Sander l. 8. de visib Eccl. Monarch c. 1. in Libro octavo Nich. Zegar in Apoc. 13. to wit the Emperour who IS the sixth King then in Being in St. John's time and sometime after Rev. 17.10 And there are seven Kings Five are fallen And ONE IS And the Other is not yet come viz. to be the Seventh head of the Roman Empire and the Supreme Governour of the Roman Monarchy The Roman-Papal BEAST is NOT that is to say HE is not God's Ordinance of Magistracy nor a lawful Power ordained of God but he IS an Usurper of the Roman Kingdom And an Instrument of the great Dragon Papists Benedict Pererius l. 14. in Dan. R. Bellarminus l. 3. de R. P. c. 2.8 Francis Rib. in Apoc. 13. Sect. 1. Hiomne Bestiam Apoc. 13.1 ipsissimum esse Antichristum inter●retantur that old Serpent called the Devil and Satan Rev. 12.3.9 viz. The Roman Pagan Emperour And also the Dragon that old Serpent which is the Devil ●ad Satan Rev. 20.2 viz. He that beguiled Eve through his Subtilty 2 Cor. 2.11.3 gave the BEAST his Power and his Throne and his Supreme Authority So that Beast the Pope of Rome hath the Roman-Power but not Jure Divino HE IS NOT by God's Approbation And yet HE IS the Supreme Roman-Governour Yea HE IS of the Seven to wit the seventh King or kind of Kingly Government as is before said And HE even he is the Eighth Rev. 17.11 (m) Bestia sc Papa Rom.

J.W. lib. de ultimo Romae Exitio p. 6. Thirdly The Roman BEAST is described by his Future State Rev. 17.10 And the other is not yet Come that is to say the other King or Kind of Kingly Government viz. Popes had not gotten the Supreme Power neither Political nor Ecclesiastical But this Beast that was to Come that is to succeed the Emperours was the Popes and they are the Eight and of the Seven Rev. 17.11 Which will be made appear in the second Particular of the Angels Description of the BEAST by his twofold Number The Second particular or Part of the Angels Description of the Roman Beast is by his twofold Number Seven and Eight The Pope of Rome is of the Seven or the Seventh King or Kingly kind of Government with Respect of his Imperial or Magisterial Power (n) Bellar. contra Barcl c. 5.
