A77950	A measure of the times: and a full & clear description of the signes of the times, and of the changing of the times; and of the reign of Antichrist, who hath long reigned, and of his down-fall, which is at hand; and of the kingdom of Christ which is now setting up in the earth. Shewing unto all people in all nations, what the state of things hath been in ages past, and what the state of things are at this present day. ... And also, here it is manifest, concerning the teachers of this age, and the root from whence they sprang, who are manifest to be of that stock of false prophets, which Christ prophesied of should come, and which the Apostles saw was coming in their dayes, and how that the night of darknesse hath been upon all, for many generations: ... And also, the restauration is described, which shortly cometh, wherein Christ shall reign, whose right it is, and shall change laws and decrees, and the lamb shall be the light of all nations, ... and their King shall possesse the uttermost parts of the earth. By one who hath measured the times, who is come to the day that hath made all things manifest. Edw: Burrough.

for her husband and the Saints should inhabit it and the Tabernacle of God should be with men upon earth and the Lord would dwell for ever with his people and this day is approaching nigh at the doors for the fig tree hath blossomed and we know it is near at hand the summer wherein the glory of the Lord shall be revealed unto all Nations and they shall know that he is the Lord God Almighty that will take vengeance upon the great whore who hath made all drunk with the wine of her fornication And now after the long night of Apostacy and darknesse which hath been upon the face of the earth is the Lord appearing and his day dawning and his light breaking forth as the glory of the morning and the Kingdome of God is revealed and his dominion is setting up after the long reigne of the Beast who hath had his power and his seat and his great authority from the dragon after whom the whole world hath wandered and him hath worshiped who have been saying who is like unto the Beast who is able to make war with him his mouth for many generations hath been opened in blasphemy against God and his name and he hath made war with the Saints and his power hath overcome them marke overcome them and then himself hath reigned and the reigne of Christ for many yeares hath not been known but over kindreds and tongues and Nations hath the Beast had power and over them hath reigned for many ages and all that dwell upon the earth hath worshiped him whose names are not written in the book of life the earth hath been caused and them that dwell therein to worship the Beast and by his wonders he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth and as many as would not worship the Beast and his image the Beast hath had power that they should be killed and many hath he killed who would not worship him and are persecuted and both small and great rich and poor free and bond hath received the marke of the Beast and the number of his name which is the number of a man he that reads let him understand these things hath come to passe and been fulfilled since the Apostles dayes in this night wherein no man could worke which Christ said would come but now the fourty and two monthes which time the Beast and his image was to continue and so long was his power to remaine to make war and to overcome the Saints I say the time is well nigh expired and finished and the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb is arisen to make war against the Beast and his image who hath reigned over the Kingdomes of the world and the judgment of the great whore cometh who hath sit upon the Beast and drunken the blood of the Saints and with whom the Kings of the earth since the Apostles dayes have committed fornication and all the inhabiters of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication and all the merchants of the earth hath been made rich through the aboundance of her delicacies and she hath sit upon the scarlet coloured Beast and her cup in her hand hath been full of abominations and filthinesse of her fornication and her name is mistery Babylon the mother of harlots and all the Kings of the earth hath given their power unto the Beast and committed fornication with the great whore and she hath sit over people and multitudes and Nations and tongues since the Apostles dayes and even some who have hated the whore and fulfilled the will of God and made the whore naked yet they give their power also to the Beast untill the word of God be fulfilled Consider these things you that hath an ear to heare but now the mighty day of the Lord and the judgment of the whore is approaching wherein she shall be rewarded according to her works and double shall be given her into her cup and as she hath loved blood so shall blood be given her to drinke and the merchants of the earth shall lament her whom they have waxen rich by who hath glorified her selfe and lived deliciously and hath said in her heart I sit as a Queene and am no widow and shall not see sorrow but now the one day is dawning wherein her plagues shall come death and mourning and famine and she shall utterly be burned with fire for strong is the Lord that is risen to judge her and the Kings and merchants and all the inhabiters of the earth shall lament her and shall cry Alas alas and now are they beginning for the hour is come that her judgment cometh and all her merchants who have trafiqued with the souls of men shall partake of her plagues who have partaked of her sins and lived deliciously with her and the fruites that her soul lusted after shall depart from her and all things that are dainty and goodly shall depart from her and she shall find them no more at all when her judgment cometh and in an hour all her riches is come to nought and her merchants at land and Sea shall lament her even her that hath ruled over Nations and sit as a Queene for many generations ever since the dayes of the Apostles untill this day yea all that have wandred after her even the whole world shall lament and bemoan her and such as have served her and made slaves of the souls of men by merchandize and trafique shall bewaile her and their gaine shall cease for ever for in one hour shall she be made desolate and her glory shall fade and her beauty shall wither and the Beast that hath carried her shall utterly faint and the false prophet that hath wrought miracles in their sight and deceived the Nations shall be cast into a bed of torment with her and the Beast and the false Prophet shall be taken and cast alive into the Lake of fire to be tormented for ever day and night world without end and the whore in whom hath been found the blood of the Prophets and of the Saints and of all that were slaine upon the earth and the Beast who hath caused all that dwell on the earth to worship him and his image for

and hath served the Beast and the great whore for many generations and many even all Nations have been deceived as
