seven_o head_n do_v signify_v seven_o hill_n whereon_o the_o woman_n sit_v now_o see_v it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o woman_n signify_v a_o great_a city_n we_o must_v see_v where_o we_o can_v find_v a_o great_a city_n build_v upon_o seven_o hill_n and_o that_o by_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o angel_n be_v babylon_n the_o see_v of_o antichrist_n and_o if_o we_o seek_v throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n where_o shall_v we_o find_v a_o great_a city_n build_v upon_o seven_o hill_n but_o that_o great_a city_n in_o italy_n which_o all_o writer_n poet_n historian_n cosmographer_n with_o one_o consent_n do_v confess_v to_o be_v rome_n which_o be_v build_v upon_o seven_o hill_n who_o name_n be_v these_o palatinus_n capitolinus_n auentinus_n exquilinus_n viminaelis_fw-la quirinalis_n and_o caelius_n this_o be_v so_o plain_a a_o notation_n of_o rome_n to_o be_v babylon_n build_v on_o seven_o hill_n that_o the_o angel_n can_v not_o more_o plain_o have_v express_v rome_n though_o he_o have_v name_v she_o nay_o this_o be_v a_o more_o evident_a and_o certain_a description_n of_o rome_n to_o be_v the_o see_v of_o antichrist_n then_o if_o in_o plain_a word_n he_o have_v say_v babylon_n be_v rome_n for_o it_o may_v be_v that_o some_o other_o city_n then_o that_o here_o be_v mean_v may_v have_v the_o name_n of_o rome_n but_o no_o other_o city_n can_v have_v this_o notation_n to_o be_v build_v on_o seven_o hill_n for_o constantinople_n be_v afterward_o call_v new_a rome_n but_o constantinople_n be_v not_o build_v upon_o seven_o hill_n like_a unto_o old_a rome_n therefore_o this_o be_v a_o plain_a and_o manifest_a circumlocution_n of_o rome_n which_o with_o no_o reason_n can_v receive_v any_o other_o exposition_n for_o what_o boy_n go_v to_o the_o grammar_n school_n and_o read_v in_o virgil_n georgickes_n this_o verse_n septem_fw-la quae_fw-la una_fw-la sibi_fw-la muro_fw-la circundedit_fw-la arces_fw-la that_o city_n say_v virgil_n which_o have_v compass_v seven_o hill_n within_o her_o wall_n what_o boy_n i_o say_v in_o the_o grammar_n school_n do_v not_o understand_v this_o to_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o city_n of_o rome_n although_o the_o poet_n in_o that_o place_n do_v not_o once_o name_n rome_n with_o what_o face_n therefore_o will_v any_o man_n deny_v that_o the_o angel_n here_o mean_v any_o other_o city_n by_o this_o periphrasis_n and_o circumlocution_n than_o rome_n for_o if_o any_o will_v be_v so_o froward_a to_o except_v that_o the_o word_n of_o hill_n be_v not_o take_v in_o the_o proper_a sense_n but_o figurative_o and_o metaphorical_o for_o some_o other_o thing_n as_o some_o will_v seem_v to_o interpret_v seven_o hill_n in_o this_o place_n for_o seven_o kingdom_n he_o shall_v plain_o be_v convince_v by_o these_o reason_n first_o it_o be_v absurd_a that_o the_o angel_n shall_v repeat_v one_o thing_n twice_o for_o in_o the_o next_o clause_n he_o show_v that_o the_o seven_o head_n do_v signify_v kingdom_n also_o but_o special_o we_o must_v remember_v that_o this_o be_v a_o interpretation_n of_o the_o angel_n which_o must_v either_o be_v plain_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v understand_v or_o it_o deserve_v not_o the_o name_n of_o a_o interpretation_n therefore_o if_o the_o angel_n offer_v to_o expound_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o seven_o head_n give_v this_o exposition_n that_o they_o signify_v seven_o hill_n if_o hill_n be_v not_o take_v in_o their_o proper_a sense_n to_o what_o purpose_n serve_v this_o exposition_n for_o if_o the_o name_n of_o hill_n have_v need_v of_o another_o exposition_n he_o have_v be_v as_o good_a to_o have_v leave_v the_o name_n of_o head_n unexpound_v and_o as_o for_o the_o interpretation_n of_o hill_n to_o signify_v king_n be_v more_o obscure_a dark_a and_o far_o fetch_v than_o that_o head_n shall_v represent_v king_n for_o it_o be_v more_o apt_a by_o metaphor_n to_o call_v a_o king_n a_o head_n then_o to_o call_v he_o a_o hill_n therefore_o except_o we_o will_v say_v that_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o angel_n be_v vain_a yea_o more_o dark_a than_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v expound_v by_o he_o we_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o hill_n be_v take_v in_o their_o proper_a sense_n for_o hill_n and_o then_o the_o city_n build_v upon_o seven_o hill_n without_o all_o controversy_n be_v the_o city_n of_o rome_n the_o four_o and_o last_o proof_n that_o i_o will_v take_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v the_o last_o verse_n of_o the_o same_o seventeen_o chapter_n which_o be_v yet_o a_o more_o plain_a description_n of_o rome_n if_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v more_o plain_a than_o that_o have_v be_v already_o speak_v for_o there_o the_o angel_n in_o plain_a word_n expound_v that_o the_o woman_n which_o s._n john_n see_v which_o be_v the_o great_a whore_n babylon_n be_v that_o great_a city_n which_o have_v dominion_n over_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n what_o brazen_a face_n be_v so_o impudent_a to_o deny_v that_o rome_n be_v that_o great_a city_n which_o have_v dominion_n over_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n at_o that_o time_n when_o this_o be_v speak_v or_o what_o other_o city_n have_v dominion_n over_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o s._n johns_n time_n but_o rome_n who_o be_v therefore_o so_o froward_a and_o untoward_a that_o he_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v babylon_n here_o to_o be_v plain_o call_v rome_n if_o i_o shall_v name_v the_o chief_a city_n of_o england_n who_o will_v not_o understand_v london_n if_o i_o shall_v speak_v of_o the_o chief_a city_n of_o france_n who_o will_v not_o conceive_v paris_n and_o when_o the_o angel_n name_v the_o chief_a city_n of_o the_o world_n who_o can_v be_v ignorant_a live_v in_o that_o time_n or_o know_v the_o history_n of_o that_o time_n that_o he_o understand_v it_o of_o the_o city_n of_o rome_n which_o be_v the_o sea_n of_o the_o empire_n and_o from_o whence_o we_o shall_v look_v that_o antichrist_n shall_v come_v according_a to_o the_o former_a prophecy_n for_o it_o be_v a_o shame_n in_o this_o place_n to_o fly_v unto_o allegory_n and_o further_a exposition_n of_o this_o angelical_a interpretation_n which_o as_o i_o say_v before_o if_o it_o be_v not_o clear_a plain_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v understand_v deserve_v not_o the_o name_n of_o a_o exposition_n as_o when_o one_o know_v one_o unknown_a thing_n be_v expound_v by_o another_o as_o much_o or_o more_o unknown_a it_o be_v vain_a superfluous_a and_o ridiculous_a wherefore_o who_o any_o bond_n of_o reason_n will_v hold_v in_o they_o must_v be_v satisfy_v with_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o

of_o his_o craft_n and_o cruelty_n our_o saviour_n christ_n the_o author_n of_o this_o revelation_n will_v not_o suffer_v his_o congregation_n to_o be_v ignorant_a thereof_o but_o send_v his_o angel_n plain_o to_o interpret_v and_o expound_v the_o vision_n of_o the_o great_a whore_n that_o the_o church_n be_v thorough_o admonish_v of_o her_o wickedness_n and_o instruct_v perfect_o to_o know_v she_o may_v more_o easy_o take_v heed_n of_o she_o fly_v from_o she_o and_o abhor_v she_o so_o that_o according_a to_o my_o promise_n i_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v by_o authority_n of_o holy_a scripture_n this_o first_o proposition_n which_o i_o take_v in_o hand_n that_o babylon_n be_v rome_n but_o because_o some_o be_v of_o such_o obstinate_a and_o wilful_a forwardness_n that_o nothing_o will_v

even_o so_o they_o that_o be_v drink_v with_o the_o heretical_a doctrine_n of_o papistry_n do_v grope_v in_o the_o clear_a light_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o see_v not_o their_o own_o deformity_n though_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o cry_n out_o of_o they_o in_o like_a manner_n they_o that_o be_v overcome_v with_o the_o unhonest_a love_n of_o harlot_n they_o have_v their_o reason_n so_o imprison_v in_o

with_o those_o that_o the_o babylonical_a circe_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v allure_v by_o her_o inchauntment_n to_o commit_v spiritual_a fornination_n with_o she_o they_o can_v abide_v to_o

which_o have_v shut_v up_o their_o ear_n from_o hear_v the_o truth_n shall_v be_v deceive_v with_o strong_a delusion_n that_o they_o may_v believe_v lie_n furthermore_o by_o the_o name_n of_o these_o

the_o western_a babylon_n as_o she_o herself_o though_o she_o have_v a_o brazen_a forehead_n and_o be_v past_o all_o shame_n can_v deny_v altogether_o and_o because_o of_o these_o so_o great_a and_o
