&_o to_o worship_v he_o only_o that_o be_v the_o creator_n of_o heaven_n &_o earth_n and_o a_o consequent_a of_o that_o gospel_n be_v this_o sermon_n of_o the_o angel_n sh●_n be_v fall_v she_o be_v

teach_v the_o contrary_a wherefore_o if_o we_o love_v the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n to_o the_o overthrow_n of_o this_o her_o great_a adversary_n let_v we_o embrace_v this_o everlasting_a gospel_n that_o we_o fear_v god_n glorify_v god_n and_o worship_n god_n alone_o again_o if_o we_o hate_v babylon_n with_o a_o perfect_a hatred_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o therefore_o will_v seek_v

babylon_n shall_v fall_v she_o shall_v fall_v i_o say_v she_o can_v stand_v no_o long_o let_v this_o suffice_v therefore_o for_o a_o preface_n now_o have_v we_o to_o consider_v what_o babylon_n be_v i_o have_v undertake_v to_o prove_v that_o babylon_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v rome_n but_o first_o i_o must_v admonish_v you_o how_o i_o understand_v rome_n and_o that_o be_v not_o only_o for_o a_o certain_a place_n in_o italy_n compass_v about_o with_o wall_n &_o furnish_v with_o building_n we_o other_o city_n be_v but_o for_o that_o authority_n government_n &_o pre-eminence_n which_o be_v

and_o namely_o in_o this_o prophesy_v for_o in_o the._n 11._o chapter_n of_o this_o revelation_n the_o same_o great_a city_n be_v call_v also_o sodoma_n and_o aegiptus_fw-la where_o our_o lord_n be_v

i_o say_v which_o be_v challenge_v in_o the_o right_n of_o that_o great_a city_n and_o so_o be_v the_o regiment_n &_o governance_n of_o the_o roman_a antichrist_n depend_v upon_o the_o prerogative_n of_o his_o see_n which_o be_v rome_n now_o if_o any_o will_v contend_v that_o babylon_n must_v be_v take_v in_o the_o proper_a sense_n for_o a_o city_n in_o chaldea_n only_o as_o though_o we_o shall_v look_v for_o the_o see_v of_o antichrist_n out_o of_o the_o east_n as_o the_o papist_n for_o thirty_o or_o xl_o year_n ago_o devise_v a_o fable_n that_o be_v renew_a also_o in_o queen_n mary_n day_n of_o a_o monstrous_a child_n which_o shall_v be_v bear_v at_o babylon_n which_o they_o will_v have_v man_n suppose_v to_o be_v antichrist_n he_o may_v be_v flat_o convict_v of_o great_a ignorance_n when_o the_o angel_n in_o the._n 17._o chap._n of_o this_o prophecy_n testify_v that_o her_o name_n be_v babylon_n in_o a_o mystery_n as_o in_o the._n 11._o chap._n that_o she_o be_v spiritual_o call_v sodoma_n &_o egiptus_fw-la not_o in_o respect_n of_o situation_n of_o the_o place_n but_o in_o similitude_n &_o likeness_n of_o condition_n wherefore_o it_o remain_v that_o according_a to_o my_o promise_n i_o prove_v babylon_n here_o mention_v to_o be_v rome_n the_o great_a controversy_n the_o this_o day_n trouble_v the_o world_n be_v where_o the_o true_a church_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v the_o papist_n make_v great_a brag_n that_o it_o be_v on_o their_o side_n &_o we_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v on_o our_o side_n this_o controversy_n will_v soon_o be_v cut_v of_o &_o bring_v to_o a_o

upon_o to_o bring_v very_o good_a and_o substantial_a proof_n to_o maintain_v this_o my_o assertion_n the_o babylon_n be_v rome_n but_o what_o prove_v may_v be_v count_v sufficient_a be_v not_o the_o authority_n of_o holy_a scripture_n &_o the_o testimony_n of_o ancient_a doctor_n of_o the_o church_n good_a &_o substantial_a proof_n therefore_o if_o authority_n of_o scripture_n be_v a_o good_a and_o substantial_a proof_n you_o shall_v have_v scripture_n if_o consent_n of_o ancient_a writer_n in_o the_o same_o sentence_n be_v of_o any_o value_n you_o shall_v have_v plenty_n and_o first_o
