Licenses and Dispensations and others of the Popes Peculiers If the Arch-bishop judge it meet But After Times did help the Crown by giving it leave To make its Bishops by a Patent As Edward the 6 t had made a preaching Sheriff or many such things with Collations and receiving Resignations To most Spiritual Cures About 666 from Antiochus This Land came to have 7 Heads or Kingdoms as Rome and at Gogmagog Leap or other Hill about it a Dragon was seen or thought so Great and Worthy that it Sirnamed a Great King Vtherpendragon And its Image was Consecrate and Dedicate in a Great Cathedral and from Thence became the Royal Standard That I speak not of the Dragon slain by One on Horse back Or any other Beast or Image of a Beast slain by the sword and yet reviving and admired or adored by All that were not written in the Lambs Book of Life before the Foundation of the World Which must be opened and must Judge both Great and small who have no Book of Works to Judge them And the Dragon pursued the Woman flying to the Wildernesse As Hagar did and is in Bondage with her seed To This day as Gal. 4. and made war with her seed The first Creature Animal was the Dragon we read it Whales in Gen 1. 21. Created in the Waters coupled with Dragons as Esay 27. Ezech. 29. and so in Job and divers places And Behemoth is next the first on Earth as the Dragon in the Seas It is Plural as Dragons in Heb. As many Femimine Beasts Or Mother of All the Beasts As Wisdom is of All her Children and yet she also is Plural in Heb. As Behemoth Which David applieth to himself in the 73 Psalm And I am Behemoth with thee I am that Behemoth more bruitish then a Beast or Behemoth Those 2 Ruled Till Adam came up and had a Commission which he did not Execute And yet we do not find All the Beasts put under him and the Serpent was more subtle then the Beasts But Noahs Patent is a Promise also Your dread shall be on every Beast that Conquer'd Adam and upon All Fishes of the Sea or Dragons Into your Hands they are Delivered Thou hast kept the Good wine untill Now. The Dragon is Prince of Darkness as it walks in Darkness while the Beasts are Couching and the shortest night of Darkness in Iudea was of 10 Hours or Horns as of 7 Heads or Dayes in a week And if their shortest Day or Night be as 1000 years as Psal 90. and 91. of the Dragon and Beasts Then is Every Hour as 100 years And so the Dragon and Beast must Reign about 1330 years As They Reigned 133 Hours before Adam was Created And if the whole Day and Night be As 1000 Then the Longest time of Darkness in the Bible Meridian is but 666 or 2 thirds of 1000 As one third of 2000. But if their Little Watches also be 1000 as the Psalm hinteth Then is Every Hour 333. And so Platoes third part of an hour may be 111. which is also the number of Kaveh the Common Heb word for a Measuring Line And Thus 666 may be paralel to the 6 Hours Turns of Tide and Sun and Moon at the Cardinal points of Heaven As before And the Jewes parted all their hours into as many Clakins as days in 3 years 1080. and each of them by as many more as their Sanhedrin or Noahs Nephews or their Families in Egypt Or our Saviours Ancestors in Luke Or years of Abrahams coming to Canaan and 75 is the difference between 1260 1335. but 3 more then Twice 666. And for Hours in the Revelation The 2 d Church must suffer Tribulation for 10 Dayes Which have Hours 240. And the 10 First Persecutions lasted just 240 years From 65 or 66 of Christ when the Jewish War began Till Constantine at 306. And the Southern Martyrs of the 10th Perse●ution are 144000 in Eusebius and others As the Lamb before the Sabbath had 144000 Clakins before it As First Fruits of Time and the Lamb for the Sabbath And if Constantine did close the 10 first da●es as the P Lambs were Tyed and Tryed in the first 10th day of the year and That be in the 2 d. Ch. Then the 3 d which stood when Antipas was slain and yet stumbled at the block of Balaam and the Nicolaitans must be with Constantine or at his Times When poyson sowed in the Ch. as was written in the Lateran at His Donation to the Pope was swallowed by the Clergy which began to Prophecy for Hire as Baalam the peoples Belly or their Bell as the Priests of Bell and the Dragon in Dan. Apoc. And Nicolas is one above the Laity or proper to the Clergy And Austin Euseb Clem. and Epiphan may shew us That which God abhorred in the Nicolaits was somewhat besides Eating things to Idols and Fornication Demeaning themselves As Diotrephes a Priest of Iupiter or Belus and mixing Heathen Rites or Iewish which began in Peters Time with Christian Worship Of which God is more Iealous then of other Gods As an Husband is only Jealous of Her that continues a Wife but with an Whorish dress or forehead As the Lord Complains and Threatens Desperate Sorrow unto Planting Strange Plants about His Altars which He so forbad and abhorred This Spread in the Church as Arianism did about the very first years of Constantine and Pope Marcel●us who Created Cardinals or Parish Priests To Bury the Dead and to Baptise Infants Which was presently followed with Albs and Corporals At the Altar and with Tapers and Candles in the Sun Shine as a Prologue To the Flames that followed and Compulsions to Religion which began about the Time of the first Iudictions which we may Translate by Impositions First commanded At the Councel of Nice Meletius the First Bishop that opposed and Degraded Arius did first deny Restoring Laymen Lapsed Though perhaps the fault was more in Churchmen which on Penance were Restored but with divers washings and some Jewish Rites The Donatists opposed with so much Zeal that some affrm They called themselves the Only True Church and Rebaptised The Cross was found they say about those Times and a Greater Cross in Arianism with the Great Contests for Easter Day which Toar the Seamless Coat of Christ the Souldiers Spared And though Paul the Eremite and Anthony resisted and began the Monkish Orders yet Those Times had also Sad Complaints of Gluttony among the very Clergy which were therefore called Priests of Bell. As Jesabel in the Revelation may allude to Jesu● and Bell. As the Prophets of Jesabel with Those of Baall or Bell in Jesabel And so we come to the Temples Tredding down or the Holy City by the Christian Antichristian Jebusites for 1260 Days or Years Which we found very signal in Hours and Days and Years As From the Birth of Cainan and Mabaleel To the Flood and Rising of the Church After it As from Enoch and
