A29508	Reverend Mr. Brightmans iudgement or prophesies, what shall befall Germany, Scotland, Holland, and the churches adhering to them likewise what shall befall England, and the hierarchy therein : collected out of his exposition on the Revelations, printed above forty yeares since ...; Judgement or prophecies, what shall befall Germany, Scotland, Holland, and the churches adhering to them	Brightman, Thomas, 1562-1607.	1641 (1641)	Wing B4682; ESTC R20946	5,033	8

sigh or sob for them but they and their Priests shall be vile before the people and men shall read the reports concerning them with delight And they shall be cast out and spewed up as vomit out of a corrupted stomack that no man will be willing to take up againe from these words Therefore because thou art lukewarme and neither hot nor cold It shall come to passe that I will spew thee out of my mouth For thou saist I am rich and increased with goods and have need of nothing and knowest not how thou artwretched and miserable and poore and blind and naked The whole State of this Church of Laodicea is worthy of serious consideration as M. Brightman applyes it to England in this and divers other Chapters for hee speakes of our times as if hee were now living And further he saith in his Epistle and elsewhere in his Commentary that many are the miseries the Christian Churches must suffer for there will be a long and dolefull Tragedy which will overthrow with scourges slaughters death and ruine and that the sword of the Lord shall be made drunk in their blood except they receive warning and amend But yet saith hee Bee of good comfort Germany France and Brittany and all you Christian Churches This is the last Act for after this Theater and long Tragedy is past there will succeed in the room thereof happy dayes with aboundance of peace and all good things And it is his Iudgment if I may not say his Prophesy comparing one Scripture with another and times with times That before the yeare 1650 that the Iews shall be called the whore of Romes nose shall be slit and she stript of all her glorious garments and attire her power and sinews cut and the Pope himselfe shall run out of Rome into Avignion or into Bonia or thereabout one of his own Cities and the City of Rome shall be burnt with fire And that the King of Spaine and the King of Ptolony and some other Kings shall bewaile her and would faine help her but dare not because they shall be afraid of their own safety least they be devoured or scorched with the same fire And further he saith that the Emperour of Germany shall destroy Rome if he set to the worke it being most proper for him but if he doth it not some other shortly will have the prise of that victory Therefore saith he you godly Princes take the matter in hand and set to this worke it shall not be a thing of so great trouble as you think for feare not the huge Armies will come to help her if you thinke the Spaniard or the French-man or any other King will raise mighty forces against you to defend her as being Romes friends these are altogether vaine feares scare-Crows Goblins Bugbeares for simple people for her friends shall stand affarre off with waiting testifying their love sighing and sobbing but taking no paines nor striking a stroke to deliver their Whore being now an old withered Harlot but crying Alas Alas that great City And againe he further saith and you the rest of the Christian Princes you need do nothing only be valiant and of good courage in dispatching your worke for the Lord and matters shall prosper as happily as you desire and understand at length by what way you may procure as to your selves honor and tranquillity so quietnesse and joy to the whole Christian world Therefore draw your Swords against Rome for you shall prevaile And saith he within 45 years after Rome is destroyed The Pope once more gathering all his friends together to try his last chance shall then be utterly overthrowne being about the yeare 1686 which will be the longest time he can continue But Rome being destroyed and the Iewes called there will be then to the end a most happy tranquillity and things very great indeed and to be admired the Ioy will be so much that it will be strange and unexpected for in the place of former troubles there will be perpetuall peace and then Kings and Queenes will be nursing fathers and nursing mothers unto the Christian Churches Then the great Turke shall be 40 yeares on the decaying hand and loose many Countries but in the yeare 1696 He also shall be utterly overthrowne And then Christ shall raigne with his Ordinances chiefe in the world They that please to examine these quotations in the margent by Master Brightmans Booke on the Revelations which he wrote above forty yeares agoe they shall finde every noat either in the same words or to the same purpose Yet not to forget that he saith further of England and Ireland Although Christ be angry with us by reason we are so far from a perfect reformation and they which labour to bring in the Popish Ceremonies hated of God do indanger the overthrow of our Kingdome yet he saith Christ hath begun his Kingdome at that time he wrot which was in the days of blessed Queene Elizabeth who happily begun and proceeded in the worke of Reformation according to the time and those dayes she lived in the finishing whereof will be required of this Generation otherwise expect God hath a sad controversie with this Land but Christ hath begun his Kingdome both in England and Ireland to raigne evermore and the enemies which shall endeavour many enterprises yet they shall vanish like smoke and they shal never prevaile to overthrow Christ his Kingdome begun here for there will never want Christian Princes to maintaine His Truth begun which he saith began from the yeare 1558. for the Seventh Angell blew his trumpet for this time and saith he would raigne evermore And lastly he saith for the better understanding of what he meanes That the City of Rome is not limitted to that City but extends as far as the Pope hath any dominion So that the City of Rome is in destroying if any of her Dominions be in destroying as he interprets the holy Ghosts meaning but the Pope is to be quite and fully overthrowne at the yeare 1686. Therefore by computation Rome must be in destroying at 1641 in some of his Dominions So I conclude this briefe Relation of what Master Brightman largely iusists upon shewing his grounds in his Book why hee affirmes these things with Christs Counsell to this Church of Laodicea I counsell thee to buy of me Gold tryed by the fire that thou maist be made rich and white rayment that thou mayst be cloathed that thy filthy nakednesse do nor appeare and to anoint thine eyes with eye-salve that thou mayst see FINIS In his Epistle and in chap. 3. ver. 10.
