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.

mouth and the church of Thyatira suffered that woman Jezabell to prophesie and to teach and seduced the servants of the Lord to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed unto Idolls and she and her lovers was to be cast into a bed of torment and her children should be killed with death and all the churches should know that God searched the reines and the hearts and every one should receive according to their deeds and the church of Sardis had only a name to live but was dead and her work was not perfect before God and upon them would the Lord come as a thiefe and they should be in darknesse and not know what houre he would come And the church of the Laodiceans were luke warme and neither hot nor cold and the Lord would spew her out of his mouth for she was wretched and miserable and poore and blinde and naked and the shame of her nakednesse did appeare and if any had an eare to heare they might heare these things were spoken by him that lives for ever the first and the last the beginning and the Amen so that hereby the Lords soul was vexed and his spirit grieved and his wrath was suddenly kindled against them who were revolters and backsliders from his way of salvation which he had made manifest to them through the mouth of his servants so that his fury went out against them to overthrow them and to break them to pieces and they being turned from his Law and from his statutes he gave them up unto their own hearts desire and brought in the heathen upon them to confound them who broke them asunder and trod down many of their Cities and gained great Ports of their dominions and made them slaves by multitudes and overthrew their worship and subjected their power even the Turks and base uncircumcised people made a prey upon them and possessed their habitations and set up abominable Idolatries in the place where Gods honour had dwelt and their dominions and treasures without became spoyle to the teeth of devourers for they having lost the terrour of the Lord he brought up the heathen to be a terrour unto them whose power was mightier then they and overcame them they being without the power of God and this justly came upon them according to the purpose of the Lord because of their backslidings And others of them who was not so given up to the will of an outward enemy yet were they given up to strange Idolatries and subversion and setting up images and worshiped that which is not God but abomination to him to this day so that the holy City which had been full of glory was given to the Gentiles to be troden downe and under their poluted feet hath it been stamped and to their mouth hath it been a prey for such a time even since these things came to passe unto this day as you may read and the Beast and false Prophet hath ruled in oppression and the great whore hath made all Nations drunke with the wine of her fornication All the great men and Princes and nobles and all the people upon earth have been made drunke by her and touched her uncleannesse and ever since the day wherein the backsliding entered she hath fit upon nations and kindreds and tongues and people and hath been decked in divers colours to deceive the hearts of all people and all Nations have been deceived by her and the beast and his power whose dominion hath been great hath upheld wickednesse by a Law and established Idolatry by decrees and all have been out of the way and wandring in blindnesse and darknesse even the whole world have worshiped the Beast and gone after the false Prophet which sits upon the Beast and his power protects him till they be both overthrowne into perdition and cast alive into the Lake which now the Lord is comeing to doe in power and dominion and great Babylon is coming into remembrance before the Lord and as she hath done so shall it be done to her her children is dashing against the stones and her offspring is withering away and the darknesse is vanishing and the Sun is appearing and the beastly power shall be subdued and the false Prophet confounded even the old Dragon shall be bound and chained never more to deceive for the Beast hath had a long reigne with his false Prophet who have prophesied lies and false divinations and led away the minds of all people For marke and consider Christ Jesus who came into the world with glad tidings of good things even with peace and salvation he said the glorious day was come and even that day which many Prophets and wise men had desired to see but had not seen the earth was filled with light as I have said yet he farther prophesied and said that the night would come when no man could work and that in the last dayes false Prophets should arise and deceive many and should come into the world and should cry loe here and loe there is Christ and and if it were possible should deceive the very elect and the Apostle John in his time who had been an eye-witnesse of Jesus and had handled and tasted and felt the word of life and had been with Jesus and bore a true testimony unto him in that very age and generation he saw the false Prophets and antichrists come and coming in and aluded to the very sayings of Christ by this we know said he that it is now the last time for there are now many false Prophets and antichrists gone out into the world they were not of the true Apostles but went out from among them being gone out from the light in their own particulars and beguiled the hearts of the simple by good words and faire speeches and went in Balaams way for gifts and rewards and in Caines way to envy and murder as you may read in the Scripture so that in Johns time the false Prophets which Christ foretold off were come and they did deceive many according as Christ had said and they drew many from the wayes of God and subverted many from the truth and made havocke of the flock and were grievous wolves according as Paul had said and truth began to perrish from among men and the power thereof ceased and the apostacy came in and the forme was set up for a season so that John farther saw and said the whole world went after the Beast and false Prophet whom he saw before was come and worshiped the Beast and his image But a few whose names were written in the book of life and as I have said the holy City with the outward Court was troden down by the Gentiles foot and darknesse surprized all and wickednesse abounded more and more and the night came upon all as Christ had prophesied and the Beast grew in his dominion till there was hardly any man left to beare witnesse in the truth and in the power of God unto the name of

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 many ages and the false Prophet who hath deceived the whole world and all Nations and made them subject unto the power of the Beast by his miracles which he hath wrought in the sight of men these shall be plagued together and tormented together for the false Prophet and the Beast hath sent forth their uncleane spirits like frogs unto all the Kings of the earth and unto the whole world to gather them to battell with their Armies to make war against him that sits on the white horse even the Son of God and this is the false Prophet which Christ prohesied of to come which long since came and hath served the Beast and the great whore for many generations and many even all Nations have been deceived as
