A27615	The late great revolution in this nation argued according to Rev. 17. 16. 17., to be duely ascribed to the supreme spirit now about to move in the fulfilling all prophecy, the earnest of which is vouch-saf'd to us in this so wonderful change, in pursuance of a discourse published twelve months past, viz, The command of God to come out of Babylon : wherein is more fully proved the [now] Roman Communion is intended and that the words of God will be fulfilled concerning the present state of the papacy in its expiration, and the hatred of the whore, 1697 / by Beverley.

further_a glance_n upon_o the_o near_a approach_n of_o the_o time_n and_o that_o this_o revolution_n look_v to_o the_o very_a just_a compliment_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o be_v fulfil_v and_o that_o be_v that_o whereas_o the_o prophecy_n have_v say_v the_o ten_o king_n shall_v agree_v to_o give_v their_o kingdom_n to_o the_o beast_n till_o the_o word_n of_o god_n

shall_v be_v fulfil_v it_o without_o any_o notice_n of_o their_o withdraw_a their_o kingdom_n from_o the_o beast_n tell_v we_o they_o shall_v hate_v the_o wh●re_n now_o it_o be_v true_a their_o be_v drink_v with_o the_o wine_n of_o the_o whore_n fornication_n be_v the_o reason_n of_o their_o gi●ing_n their_o kingdom_n to_o the_o beast_n that_o carry_v she_o as_o have_v be_v before_o observe_v and_o therefore_o when_o ere_o they_o hate_v the_o whore_n they_o will_v certain_o withdraw_v their_o power_n from_o the_o beast_n but_o because_o it_o be_v say_v they_o shall_v hate_v the_o whore_n without_o any_o mention_n how_o they_o shall_v behave_v themselves_o to_o the_o beast_n and_o that_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o peculiar_a note_n of_o the_o prophecy_n fulfil_v that_o they_o hate_v the_o whore_n it_o move_v my_o enquiry_n whether_o either_o in_o the_o first_o reformation_n or_o at_o the_o time_n of_o this_o revolution_n there_o be_v any_o shade_n of_o any_o king_n divide_v the_o

have_v any_o way_n be_v move_v with_o a_o indignation_n at_o the_o curtal_n their_o power_n and_o kingdom_n by_o give_v it_o to_o the_o beast_n and_o so_o have_v recalled_a it_o for_o if_o such_o can_v be_v find_v it_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o great_a note_n of_o the_o fulfil_n this_o prophecy_n viz._n if_o the_o whore_n be_v first_o so_o distinct_o love_v that_o then_o by_o herself_o she_o may_v be_v expose_v to_o universal_a hatred_n afterward_o and_o i_o find_v that_o there_o have_v be_v some_o specimen_n of_o it_o all_o along_o and_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o reformation_n by_o out_o king_n henry_n the_o eight_o who_o retain_v his_o kindness_n to_o the_o roman_a catholic_a church_n in_o its_o doctrine_n and_o worship_n and_o veneration_n of_o it_o and_o monstrous_a zeal_n for_o it_o in_o all_o these_o and_o yet_o remove_v the_o power_n of_o the_o beast_n from_o his_o regalia_z in_o all_o point_n but_o never_o be_v there_o so_o ample_a and_o illustrious_a a_o representation_n
