A03335	Mystical babylon, or Papall Rome A treatise vpon those words, Apocal. 18.2. It is fallen, it is fallen Babylon, &c. In which the wicked, and miserable condition of Rome, as shee now is in her present Babylonian estate, and as she shall be in her future ineuitable ruine, is fully discouered: and sundry controuersiall points of religion, betwixt the Protestants, and the Papists, are briefly discussed. By Theophilus Higgons, rector of the parochiall Church of Hunton, neere Maidstone in Kent.	Higgons, Theophilus, 1578?-1659.	1624 (1624)	STC 13455; ESTC S118140	129,351	289

which_o we_o have_v not_o already_o find_v fourthly_a and_o last_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o as_o the_o mystical_a condition_n of_o this_o babylonian_a rome_n be_v by_o clear_a remonstrance_n make_v by_o learned_a and_o judicious_a man_n notorious_o discover_v unto_o all_o the_o world_n so_o the_o horn_n of_o the_o papal_a beast_n have_v begin_v to_o fall_v from_o his_o head_n his_o power_n be_v thereby_o much_o abate_v and_o never_o likely_a to_o be_v recover_v again_o but_o one_o horn_n after_o another_o shall_v be_v pluck_v off_o wherefore_o as_o i_o may_v certain_o conclude_v that_o the_o turk_n shall_v not_o destroy_v the_o state_n and_o dignity_n of_o these_o ten_o king_n whatsoever_o zanchius_n a_o learned_a and_o profound_a divine_a do_v conceive_v to_o the_o contrary_a for_o which_o he_o suffer_v some_o opposition_n as_o in_o the_o second_o part_n of_o his_o miscellanea_fw-la it_o may_v appear_v and_o whatsoever_o melancthon_n himself_o deliver_v in_o his_o public_a lecture_n that_o all_o germany_n shall_v be_v possess_v by_o the_o turk_n and_o my_o reason_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o scripture_n show_v that_o the_o ten_o king_n which_o arise_v with_o the_o second_o beast_n in_o rome_n shall_v destroy_v rome_n at_o the_o last_o and_o therefore_o if_o the_o turk_n obtain_v their_o kingdom_n it_o must_v be_v after_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o rome_n which_o they_o must_v first_o ruinate_v so_o i_o may_v very_o reasonable_o and_o probable_o affirm_v that_o the_o king_n which_o be_v already_o fall_v from_o the_o beast_n the_o pope_n shall_v never_o return_v unto_o he_o again_o to_o give_v their_o power_n a_o second_o time_n unto_o he_o and_o to_o submit_v their_o royal_a state_n unto_o the_o papal_a crown_n but_o if_o babylon_n shall_v advance_v herself_o in_o england_n again_o which_o we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o fear_v nor_o papist_n reason_n to_o hope_n yet_o that_o shall_v not_o hinder_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o this_o work_n for_o

the_o fox_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o lord_n vineyard_n that_o she_o may_v be_v a_o lion_n afterward_o to_o kill_v the_o keeper_n thereof_o let_v we_o not_o be_v secure_a in_o observe_v her_o course_n

ten_o king_n shall_v take_v up_o their_o arm_n against_o babylon_n i_o answer_v partly_o out_o of_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o partly_o out_o of_o the_o demonstration_n of_o reason_n that_o three_o principal_a cause_n concur_v in_o this_o behalf_n the_o first_o be_v a_o meritorious_a cause_n by_o congruity_n and_o condignity_n as_o they_o use_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o

burden_n unto_o the_o earth_n cry_v for_o vengeance_n unto_o heaven_n and_o now_o here_o be_v a_o collection_n of_o her_o sin_n the_o old_a and_o the_o new_a come_v into_o one_o reckon_v and_o account_n they_o be_v pass_v in_o act_n but_o remain_v in_o guilt_n wherefore_o it_o be_v say_v apoc._n 18.5_o her_o sin_n be_v come_v up_o unto_o heaven_n and_o god_n have_v remember_v her_o iniquity_n for_o though_o he_o always_o remember_v they_o in_o his_o providence_n and_o knowledge_n yet_o now_o he_o declare_v his_o remembrance_n by_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o justice_n thus_o we_o perceive_v that_o god_n have_v a_o time_n to_o permit_v sin_n and_o a_o time_n to_o punish_v sin_n the_o former_a and_o the_o latter_a sin_n together_o of_o any_o state_n or_o of_o any_o person_n when_o our_o repentance_n bind_v not_o up_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o justice_n but_o our_o continuance_n addition_n and_o renovation_n of_o sin_n draw_v the_o sword_n out_o of_o the_o scabbard_n and_o compel_v he_o unto_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o wrath_n as_o it_o be_v here_o in_o the_o fall_n of_o babylon_n who_o sin_n be_v bind_v up_o together_o in_o this_o great_a and_o fearful_a

observe_v it_o brethren_n for_o our_o own_o use_n since_o we_o know_v the_o just_a severity_n of_o god_n which_o lead_v we_o unto_o speedy_a repentance_n lest_o he_o arraign_v we_o at_o the_o bar_n of_o his_o justice_n for_o our_o ancient_a &_o for_o our_o latter_a sin_n this_o observation_n pertain_v first_o unto_o a_o kingdom_n and_o state_n he_o do_v not_o forger_n her_o sin_n though_o he_o remember_v they_o not_o present_o in_o judgement_n after_o many_o hundred_o year_n he_o call_v amalek_n unto_o a_o account_n i_o remember_v say_v he_o unto_o saul_n what_o amalek_n do_v unto_o
