head to be healed by electing another Nobility of his owne Tribe which is set forth unto us by the word Image And well may be called an Image in comparison of the other that was before it But however it must be Worshipped For in the 13. chap. the 15. verse He had power to give life to the Image of the Beast that the Image of the beast should both speake and cause that so many as would not Worship the Image of the beast should be killed And I will shew you more things that this Man of sinne shall doe expressed by Paul his 2. Epistle to the Thessalonians 2. chap. 4. verse it is said there That he shall oppose himselfe above all that is called Gods and are worshipped Now his fore-runner shall be a man of Worship as John Baptist was when he commeth But the Man of sinne shall be a meane Man and no man of Worship neither shall any be proper for him Therefore it is truly said When hee commeth and playeth his Pagents above Kings and great Men on the earth that he exalteth himselfe above all that is called Gods unto whom Worship belongeth And in the first of Paul to Timothy the 4. th and the 3. verse hee saith He shall forbid to Marry that is He shall alter the ordinary practise of the Church of GOD in marriage which was solemnly performed by the Ministers of CHRIST according to Gods word commanding it to be done by those that are no Priests which are Commissionated by his Marke and also upon a penalty of Disinheritance as Bastardizing their posterity Hee shall also command Fasting-dayes and prohibite Festivalltimes which the Church had celibrated as the time of CHRIST'S Nativity his Resurrection and Ascention and the like farre worse then any Pagan But it is more proper to Antichrist's fore-runner which shall come like John Baptist Neither eating nor drinking but with a great deale of temporance and Purity to deceive though it be proper to him what the People said of Iohn That he hath a Devill Now I will speake of Antichrist and his false Prophet joyntly being united to advance each other therefore first of their beginning and so of their growth And that I may make it plaine I will compare the Lord of life and this Messenger of Death together In the 2. of Luke the 46. th 47. and the 48. verses Christ was found of his Parents disputing amongst the Doctors in Gods Temple it seemes to me to be the Puritanicall Pharisees with which hee disputed and which hee calleth so often afterwards to his Disciples Hypocrites giving them command to take heed to them This was the time of CHRIST's beginning and increase to doe his Fathers businesse till he was Baptized in Iordain of John Then being in the full Exercise of his power after his Baptisme hee continueth therein till his Ascention 42. Moneths or thereabouts in all one and twenty yeares And a little before his Suffering Mathew the 21. chap. the 12. verse Enters into the Temple and overthrew the tables of the Money changers and those that polluted his Fathers house hee drave out saying that they had made his Fathers house a denne of Thieves The same time shall Antichrist have till he come to the height of his power that CHRIST had till he was Baptized after which time hee shall thinke himselfe lawfully Installed to his Jesus ship to him and his for ever And as Christ first began his most Gracious worke in the Temple and so continued till he whipt the Prophainers out as aforesaid So shall Antichrist and his false Prophets begin they worke to doe their Fathers businesse in disputing against the true Doctors Professors and worshippers of God in his Churches and Temples till they drive out of Christ's Churches his faithfull Officers and Professors and make them Stables Courts of guard and consequently a denne of Thieves Now it is requisite hee being so perfectly marked out that it should be made knowne what shall become of the Man of sinne and what shall be his judgment It is said in Daniel the 7. th and 11. I beheld then because of the voyce of the great words which the Horne spake I beheld even till the Beast was slaine and his body destroyed and given to the burning Flame And in the 26. th verse The judgment shall sit and they shall take away his Dominion to consume it and destroy it to the end And in the 19. th of the Revelation the 20. th verse John saith That the Beast was taken and with him the false Prophet that wrought Miracles with which he designed them that had the Marke of the beast and worshipped his Image these both were cast into the Lake of Fire burning with Brimston But seeing in the same Chapter there is mention made of a whorish Woman which I have a little spoke of before J will touch it a little as it lyeth in the way In the 3 verse John was carried into the Wildernesse and there hee saw the whorish Woman riding in the same Place and upon the same Beast which persecuted the most Glorious woman the Church John seeth a Cup of abomination in her hand and in the 5. verse We saw her Name written in her Forehead Mysterie Babilon the great the mother of Harlots the abomination of the Earth This Woman was drunke with the blood of the Saints and Martyrs of JESVS which made John wonder This Woman shall be the Royall City where the Man of Sinne shall make his Seat and in which the Antichristian Representative body of the Beast and Head of the beast doth Consult and giveth Antichrist that is the Horne his power In the last verse of that Chapter it is said The Woman which thou sawest is the great City which raigneth over the Kings of the Earth sor by their prevalent Power during their Antichristian compliance both by Sea and Land they are said to Raigne over the Kings of the earth And in the 7. verse of the 17. th chap. The Angell saith He will tell Iohn the mistery of the Woman and the Beast that carrieth her And in the 8. verse hee saith The Beast on which the Woman sate was and is n c and shall descend into the Bottomlesse pit and goe into Perdition and they that dwell on the Earth shall wonder whose lives are not written in the Booke of Life from the foundation of the World When they behold the Beast that was and Is not and yet is This Beast shall be Presviter John and the first great Assembly of Republiques that aydes him which was That is hee shall be in great Power when the Man of sinne appeares with his Toleration Hee shall lose his Power and Dominion when the Man of sinne is apparently come and therefore it is said He was and Is not And it is said hee yet is Seeing he shall give himselfe and his Power to uphold the Man of Sinne after which he shall recover his Power and being and

One and twenty yeares Answerable to the time that Christ our Lord disputed in the Temple with the Puritanicall hypochriticall Pharisees till he ascended into Heaven as afore-mentioned But more for particuler Distinction of Time As neare as may be it may be observed that for the first Ten yeares and six Moneths which is three times 42. Moneths the Antichristian false Prophet shall most popularly carry on his wicked designes deceiving the People by Lies pretending to be for the King and Priests till they may utterly destroy Both And consequently Gods holy Worship and so out them as Antichristian by Lies and Scandals But for the later ten yeares and six Moneths the Antichrist himselfe by the assistance of his bloody Crew shall advance his Dominion For the first 42. Moneths of the later Ten yeares and an halfe the Antichrist shall be made Generall and give a Toleration to all his Antichristian Impes And for the second 42. Moneths Antichrist shall take upon him to be the peoples Saviour and Protector And his false Prophet shall comply with him and be protected by Him And for the last 42. Moneths he shall actually be confirmed in his Jesus-ship And his false Prophet with all their deluded Spirits shall give Honour unto him as lawfully installed in his Jesus-ship for ever both for Him and His. Yet before the 42. Moneths be expired a great darknesse of Confusion shall be in his Kingdome that they shall knaw their Tongues for paine Revelations the 16. th and 10. verse And also before the last 42. Moneths be out The right Heire shall come to possesse his Kingdome as is afore-mentioned This they shall see All those that lives in the Dayes of Antichrist the 42. Moneths of Antichrist's Dominion And his false Prophet spoken of by the Angeâ—l to John And the Time Times and the dividing of Time spoken of by the Angell to Daniell Really fulfilled to the Sight and perfect Knowledge of all the Observers thereof If they will but count And if Pharoah's Dreame was doubled twise much more shall Antichrist's 42. Moneths be doubled thrice for the Ratification thereof before all the World But courteous Reader looke what thou hast here read is none of Mine only collected by me out of holy Scripture therefore give God the Glory But it is so briefe that it is far short of what may be observed by the judicious Reader out of holy Writ Though it be promiscuously laid downe therein as we may observe in all Prophesies that Men as naturall may see and not perceive and heare and not understand for if it were by way of History then it were no Prophesie as we may observe in the 24. th of Mathew and such like Propheticall places they be Mysteriously laid downe But I would have you to observe that every Spirit that pretends to stand for Christ and doth oppose his Dominion here upon Earth by his Deputies Kings and Episcopall Priests doth therewith deny the true Doctrine and Discipline of Christ's Church The same must undoubtedly be the Antichrist Antichristian Spirits there was from the beginning by the Enemy of Mankind in opposition to the promised Seed Christ But they never prevailed to set up a Dominion as aforesaid to fill up the whole Latitude of his Description Read for your Satâ—sfaction the 26. of Numbers what became of Core and his accompliceâ— And read the Epistle of Jude his Prophesie of Antichrist whereof Cores Rebellion against Moses their King and Aaron their Priest was a Type of Antichrist's Rebellion under the Gospell Read also the 10. th of Leviticus The History of Nadab and Abihu offering stâ—ange Fire to the Lord A Type of the abominable Worship and Sectaries tollerated by Antichrist in the time of the Gospell But though these did not prevaile to set up a Dominion yet Antichrist the Typified shall prosper prevaile and set up his Dominion as aforesaid And all his evill Spirits shall prosper with him all that ever were or shall be and shall doe what is written of Him But the antichristian Spirits that shall assay to set up a Dominion before the Time of the Antichrist the Son of Perdition cannot For Paul saith to the Thessalonians 2. Epistle and 2 Chapter only he who letteth shall let till he be taken out of the Way and in the 8. verse Then shall the Wicked be revealed And it is to be understood that He who hath let and doth let is the Angell of the Church And the King Christ's Deputy where this Man of Sinne shall arise who is appointed by GOD to protect his Church from such Malignant Spirits according to his Promise made to his People as to the Patriarchs and to Moses to aid them That for their and the Churches safety his Angell should goe before them The like assistance doth attend Christian Kings under the Gospell but when Gods Angell is restrained from ayding the King in protecting of Christ's Church then shall Antichrist appear and prevaile * The King and Bishop and the two great Witnesses of GOD shall be murthered in the Street and lye A Bishop may be Antichristian being against Monarchy slaine in that City which is spiritually called Sodom and Aegypt Revel the 11. chap. and 8 and 9.

the beast Daniell hath omitted St. John doth describe them more fully He saith that he came out of the Sea he saith he hath 7. Heads and 10. Hornes and upon his heads the Names of Blasphemy This ugly Monster he describes in the 2. Verse to be like a Leopard his Feet as the feet of a Beare and his Mouth as the mouth of a Lyon his Power and his great Authority was given to him by the Dragon And the Dragon is described before in the 12. Chap. and 3. verse to be Red and to have seven Heads and ten Hornes and Crownes upon their heads And J find in the 11. verse of the 13. chap. another Beast described To come out of the Earth having hornes like a Lambe but a terrible speech like a Dragon These two Beasts described by St. Joqn doth exercise their Power to advance each other vers 1â— he saith He exercised all the power of the first Beast and caused all that was on the earth to worship the first beast These two beasts be so joyned together in the exercise of their Power and having their power from the Dragon that they are sometimes said to be one But Daniell sets forth this Second beast unto us in the similitude of a horne that hath a Mouth and Eyes chap. 7. verse 8. Now before these terrible beasts appeare in the Earth and exercise their power I find in the 12. chap. and 1. verse A wonder seene in Heaven a most glorious Woman cloathed with the Sunne and the Moone under her feet and Crowned with 12 Starres Shee is also described to be with Child and in paine to be delivered But being in danger to be devoured by the Dragon and his Instruments these ugly beasts God Almighty provides a place for her and takes her Child unto himselfe vers 5. and 6. Now by this most glorious Woman and her Son is most certainly set forth unto us the Estate of the Church of Chrâ—st and the Sonnes of the Church When these monstrouâ— Beasts shall appeare for some of the Sonnes of the Church shall lay downe their Lives for the Truth and so is taken unto God Also in the 11. th Chap from verse the 1 till verse the 7. th is most certainly set forth unto us the pure Preaching of God's Word for the Worship and Service of GOD that shall be in the Church of Christ in that place when and where these Monsters shall appeare John is there commanded to measure the Temple of God and the Altar and them that worshâ—p therein But is prohibited to measure the Court and holy City seeing it was to be troden under foot by the wicked and prophane 42. Moneths that is 1260. dayes xxx dayes to the Moneth the same time the vertuous and glorious Woman lyeth hid in the place God provided for Her the 12. th Chap. and 6. verse But for his two Witnesses they should prophesie in Sackcloth 1260. dayes these are the two Olive-trees and two Candlestick standing before the God of the whole Earth Spoken of by Zachary the Prophet the 4. th Chap. and 3. verse and the 11. th and 14. verses By these two Olive-trees two Candlestâ—cks and two Witnesses is set forth unto us the Kâ—ngly and Priestly Officers As also the bookes of the Prophets and Apostles the Old Testament and the New all which shall be in Power and had in Estimation and the Word faithfully taught unto us by his Apostolicall Ministers When and where these monstrous Beasts appeares And it is most certaine that these Monstrous Beasts shall be Enemies to God his Worship and those that feare his Name That is manifest in the 7. th of Daniell the 25. verse for it is said there he shall speake great words against the Most High And in the 13. th Chap. of Revelations the 6. verse and he opened his Mouth with blasphemy to blaspheme his Name his Tabernacle and them that dwell in Heaven Now for the cruelty of this Beast how this Beast shall prosper and what he shall doe and how long he shall continue that is necessary to be shown But of that hereafter But first of all what is meant by the Sea and great Waters from whence this Beast shall come it is expressed Chap. 17. th and 15. verse to be People and Multitudes Tongues and Nations it is also necessary to know where they shall appeare He shall certainly appeare in that place where the most pure preaching of the Gospell of GOD and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is taught and upholden Both in Doctrine and Discipline by Christ's Regall and Sacerdotall Officers And he shall oppose himselfe against all lawfull Authority This great Beast is certainly the Man of Sinne the Antichrist the Son of Perdition spoken of by the holy Prophets and Apostles But now for the Description of this Man of Sinne the Son of Perdition set forth by the similitude of these Monsters it is necessary to shew Therefore first of the body oâ— this Beast It is Multitudes of men in the World in Seven severall Nations who will either voluntarily or by force comply to the Man of Sinne. Secondly the Heads of this Beast is Princes and great men in those Nations and sometimes it is taken for the head City where they meet to consult Called the Royall City Thirdly by the Hornes of this Beast is meant the Kings of those Nations whereof one of them hath foure Dominions belonging to him So these foure and the other six maketh seven Heads and ten Hornes Revâ—lations the 13. th and 1. verse Daniell 7. th and 7. verse Then Daniell expresseth that he saw another little Horne come up after them Before whom three fell And that Horne is said to be the 8. th Dominion and yet one of the Seven Rev. 17 ch and 11 verse that lâ—ttle Horne is the Antichristian Horne which by Daniel is said to have Eyes and a Mouth that shall speake high things Now it is to be understood that when this Man of Sinne shall appeare all the seven Nations shall be Christians But he shall arise and make his Seat in one only Nation and in that Nation where the most pure Preachings of the Gospel are both in Doctrine and Discipline and in that Nation whose Head hath foure Hornes that is foure Dominions belonging to it though he doe but exercise the power of Three But upon the appearance of the little Horne the three Dominions which the former King had shall fall to him and the former King shall be pluckt up Dan. the 7. th and 8. verse but of that hereafter Now that Antichrist is set out unto us by this little Horne in Daniell and the Beast out of the Earth in John It shall be apparant by what he shall doe answerable to that which is written of him Also by the Description of his Name and Marke and the first Beast by his Name and the number of his Name Therefore to make it plaine I will shew it more
his Name afore spoken of Revelations the 13. th Chapter and the 17. th verse Now ye see what a Combination Antichrist when he commeth shall make All that are for him must have his Name others must have his Mâ—rke And some must have the Name and number of his Name and some shall have all But before this Tragedy shall be acted we shall find that our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ shall seal his obedient ones least they should be deceived by the policy of the false Prophet and the prosperous successe of the Man of Sinne For it is said If it were possible they would deceive the very Elect. In the 7. th Chap. and the 2. verse I saw an Angell ascend out of the East having the Seal of the living God and in the 4. verse it is said There was sealed 144000. I have made it appeare what Power the Man of Sin shall have and Offices he shall usurpe Now I shall further shew you the Exercise of his power what he shall doe I have showne how he shall trample all under foot and change Lawes both Civill and Ecclesiasticall now I will shew you how he shall make Wars and against whom In the 7. th of Daniell and the 21. it is said I beheld and saw the same Horne make War with the Saints and prevaile against them And in the 13. th of Revelations and the 7. verse and it was given unto him to make War with the Saints and overcome Them In overcomming the Saints he shall first take away the chiefe Officers of the Church that iâ— the King and Bishops and their lawfull Officers and prohibit the true Dâ—ctrine and Discipline Apostolicall to be used and when he hath taken away the Church Officers to suppresse the Professors is easie For the King that then shall be shall fall before him which exerciseth the Power of the three Hornes Daniel the 7. th and 8. verse in the middle of the verse I considered the little Horne saith hee before three of the first were plucked up and in the 24. th verse he saith He shall subdue three Kings or Kingdoms and there he shall plant himselfe Now for the continuance of the time he shall have to stand in his Power It is requisite I should speake of it That after he appeares in his splendor we may hope for his end lest we should faint in the length of our sufferings In the Exercise of this wofull Tragedy against the Saints of GOD we find he shall speake great Words against the Most High and weary out his Saints the 7. th of Daniell and 25. And in the latter part of the verse it is said he shall continue a Time Times and the deviding of time John saith the 13. th Chap. and 5. verse He hath Power to continue 42. Moneths which is three yeares and an halfe that is to measure and account his Time by And I find that upon the increase of his Power he shall be so prevalent in opposition of God's word persecuting the Regall and Apostolicall Officers of CHRIST as that the Bookes of the Prophets and Apostles together with the two Candlesticks of the Church of Christ his two Officers is said to be slaine and lye dead in the streets and in the sight of all men for three dayes and an halfe Revelations the 11. and the 7. th And by reason of the Toleration that the Man of Sinne shall grant upon the suppressing of the true Worship and Worshippers of GOD and taking away the publique Liturgie of the Church there shall be a very great joy So that they shall give and send Guifts one unto another and make merry Chap. 11. th and 10. verse Because thereby they were hindred of their Liberty that they could not exercise their severall Idolatrous Fantasticall and Hereticall Opinions And during the time that these two Prophets and two Witnesses lies slaine and dead in the streets in open shame and contempt The true Professors of the Gospell shall be clothed in Sack-cloth 1260. Chap. 11. th and 3. verse According to the number of the Dayes the vertuous Woman that is the Church is hid by God in the place which he hath provided for Her the 12. th Chap. and 6. verse And then after the time limited be over shall their Sackcloth be put off and the Woman come out of her place to help forward the Iudgement of the Man of Sin But during the Time of the hiding of this Chast Woman and the Persecution of her Children There appeareth another Woman Chap. the 17. th and the 3. verse A Great Whore a Jezabel wonderfully Dâ—cked By whose Glory Thousands are bewitched By this Whore is set forth unto us Antichrist's superstitious Whore and the City where he shall keepe and the Idolatrous Brood he shall beget Now all men know or will confesse that Men are naturally subject to Idolatry and therefore is fitly compared to a Whore and Antichrist when he commeth will tolerate men thereunto Now if an arrant Whore be tolerated by Law what Wickednesse is it that she will not commit with a Brasen face And also abuse the most Godly Vertuous and Chast Woman that can be found Now I will but speake a very little of his Power more least I digresse too farre Jn the 13. th Chap. and 4. verse it is said And they worshipped the Dragon which gave Power to the Beast and they worshipped the Beast and said Who is like to the Beast Who is able to make warre with him Also hee shall extend his power a great deale farther then his owne proper Dominion which he hath usurped For his Name and his Marke shall goe through the earth Revelation the 13. th and the 8. th verse For it is said All that dwell on the Earth shall worship him For he shall extend all power into the Channels of the Sea and great waters So that Nations shall maintaine their Traffique by him and shall doe it by his Name and Marke wherewith his Patents shall be sealed and Articles of Peace or Warre marked and sealed He shall be like that Leviathan spoken of by Job that walloweth in the great deepe Now I thinke it necessary to the making of this great Tragedy plaine to speake of the matter of Worship a little as it commeth in order Kings and Princes and chiefe Priests in holy Scriptures are called Gods being sanctified by divine Power and also the same Scripture doth command worship and honour to be given them Now we may read in the 13. chap. Revelation the 3. verse That one of the beasts Heads was wounded to death and his wound was healed You may remember that I said before That the heads of the beasts were Nobles and great Men or such as is of the Kings Councell and the hornes are Kings now when the Hornes by force falls off aforementioned the Head on which it doth stand will receive a wound But when the little Horne growes great hee shall cause the beasts
therefore is said he yet Is. And then it shall be accounted a wonder of all whose Names are not written in the Booke of Life from the foundation of the World when they behold the Beast that Was and Is not and yet Is. In the 10. th verse he saith There are 7. Kings whereof five are fallen one Is and another is Not yet come and when hee commeth he shall Continue a short space That is five of those Kings shall submit themselves to certaine Conditions and to the Iurisdiction of the Man of Sin and City where the Man of sinne sitteth intimated by the word fallen It is said one is that is himselfe and his City as it is said by the old Babell he onely Is and No other And it is said another is Not yet come hee stands out a little longer then the Rest and it is said When hee commeth he shall continue a short space This great City and her Antichrist is said to sit on seven Heads which is seven Mountaines that is 7. distinct Dominions verse 9. One which hee shall particulerly Command and makes his Seat and Six which he shall bring under Conditions So this is No more in effect then hath been said before only confirmed by more Testimonies And in the 11. th verse it is said The Beast that was and is not is the 8. th and yet of the Seven and shall goe into Perdition This Beast that was and Is not is the same was spoke of before but here is said to be the 8. and is of the 7. th in the 11. verse It is certaine hee is of the Seven but how he is said to be the Eight J conceive it thus That when he is come neare the time of his Destruction and to the end of his accompt for his Antichristian Dominion The right Heire shall appeare to come into his Kingdome and shall come with the aid of the other Six which formerly Antichrist had brought to his Conditions those Six with his owne Nobility makes up 7. Heads Then Antichrist and his Nobility makes up the 8. Head And in the 16. th verse it is said These shall hate the whore and burne her with Fire And verse 17. th it is said God hath put it into their hearts to fulfill his Will and agree together And give their Kingdomes to the Beast untill the Word of God be fulfilled Then commeth those Kings to act right things when they promise and give Ayd to the lawfull Heire which before they could not during the height of Antichrist's reigne Now J have shown unto you the Destruction of the Man of Sin his Prophet and their Whorish brood Now it shall be apparant that GOD shall take away Antichrist's Dominion by Daniell the 7. th and 19. verse And in the 13. and 14. verses He giveth it to his Son it is said there was given unto Him Dominion Glory and a Kingdome that all People and Nations should serve Him His Dominion is an everlasting Dominion which shall not passe away and his Kingdome that which shall not be destroyed Then Christ when the Kingdome is given to him he giveth it to his Saints to be possessed by them as it was before when Antichrist and his Adherents began their Warres against them That you may read in the 22 verse The Ancient of Dayes came Judgement was given to the Saints of the Most High And the Time came that the Saints possessed the Kingdome And in the 27. verse and the Kingdome and the Dominion and the Greatnesse of the Kingdome under the whole Heaven shall be given to the People of the Saints of the Most High whose Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdome And all Dominions shall serve and obey Him Then shall the Dayes come spoken of by Zachary the Prophet 14. th and the 9. verse And the Lord shall be King over all the Earth in that Dayshall there be one Lord and his Name one Now it is requisite to show unto you the Joy that the Saints shall have for Antichrist's Destruction and for the Destruction of his Whorish brood Seeing GOD workes so great an Alteration Revelations the 14. th and the first there he saith he saw a Lamb standing on Mount Sion having with him 144000. Having their Father's Name written in their Foreheads And in the 2. verse he saith He heard out of Heaven the voyce of Thunder the Voyce of Waters Harpes harping and in the 3. verse They sung a new Song before the Throne the bookes of the Apostles and Prophets the foure Beasts and Elders which were redeemed from the Earth And in the 6. verse the Messengers of God goeth forth with freedome to preach the everlasting Gospell to them that dwell on the Earth to People Tongues and Nations And in the 15. the 3. verse That those that got Victory over the Beast over his Image and over his Marke and the number of his Name Sing the Song of Moses the Servant of the Lord and the Song of the Lamb Great and Marvellous are thy Workes Lord GOD Almighty Iust and true are thy Workes Thou King of Saints And in the 4. verse Who shall not feare thee O Lord and glorifie thy Name for thou only art Holy For all Nations shall come and worship before thee For thy Judgement is made manifest And verse the 5. th after that Song the Temple of the Testimony of the Tabernacle was open And in the 19. câ—p He heard a Multitude of People which song Haleluja Salvation Glory and Honour and Power unto thë Lord GOD. read Revelations the whole Chapter I have showne unto you the great joy that shall be upon the suppressing of Antichrist I shall also show unto you a little the sorrow of those that favour Him and such as hath his Name his Marke or the Number of his Name All those that have committed Fornication with Her shall bewaile Her and lament for Her and cry and cast dust on your Heads the 18. cap. 9. verse 11. verse 18 verse Now I have shown in briefe the great Mysterie of Antichrist and his Fore-runner his great Prophet their Rising and Power what they shall doe and how long he shall continue I have also showne unto you their Subversion and Overthrow And I have shown unâ—o you the Ioy that shall ensue to the People of GOD And the sorrow of those that adhere unto the Man of Sinne and his Idolatrous brood And I have showne unto you the most Glorious Preaching of the Gospell that shall be after their Subversion So that one Title of Gods Word shall not faile of what is inserted in the Booke of God That which I have written is in briefe for if I had the Tongue of Men and Angels and were the best Scribe in the World it were impossible for me either to speake or write or you to heare or read the most unnaturall bloody and damnable acts of the Beast his Prophet and their Lives even their very Clawes and Nailes on their feet
