the presses for the space of 1600. furlongs it sheweth the multitude of the number of the damned CHAP. 15. IN this Chapter begins the manner of the destruction of Rome and the Popedome by the seauen last plagues which vision S. Iohn cals a great and meruailous signe The glassie sea in the 4. Chapter is interpreted the soules of the faithfull there it was like Christall but here like fire shewing that the soules of the faithfull burned in zeale for the martyrdomes and persecutions of Antichrist and when they saw these 7. plagues goe forth they reioyced especially the soules of those whom Antichrist had martyred and persecuted Their ioy is signified by their harps and they sung the new song of Moses when he was deliuered from Pharao and the song of Christ when hee was raysed from death that is Great meruailous are thy workes Lord God Almighty iust and true are thy wayes King of Saints who shall not feare thee O Lord and glorifie thy name for thou onely art holy and all nations shal come and worship before thee for thy iudgments are made manifest The Tabernacle in heauen that S. Iohn saw open is the Church of the faithfull which by preaching opens a doore for all by beliefe to enter into the kingdome of heauen In that the 7. Angels with the vials of Gods wrath came out of the Tabernacle to wit the Church it sheweth that they were sent at the prayers of the faithfull their long white roabes is the righteousnes of Christ their golden girdles signifie the gloriousnesse and purenesse of their loue to God and his children for loue is the band of perfection In that the Angels poure out the vials of Gods wrath it shewes that God vseth them as instruments to punish the wicked and though Antichrist is and shall be destroyed by men they are but the instrumentall cause of God and his Angels CHAP. 16. THe first second third plagues are that there fell a grieuous and noysome sore vpon them who had the mark of the Beast and worshipped the image of the Beast in that the sea and waters became bloud it signifieth that many of thē should be slaine These seeme to prophesie the victories that the Turks other the Popes enemies haue had against the Papists the slaughters they haue committed vpon them which was the iust iudgement of God as appeares ver 5. in that an Angell saith Lord thou art iust because thou hast iudged these things for they shed the bloud of the Saints of the Prophets therfore hast thou giuen them bloud to drinke for they are worthy And another Angell said Euen so Lord God Almighty true and righteous are thy iudgements The fourth plague poured vpon the Sunne seemes to bee vpon their clergy this was the ouerthrow of the Cardinals Bishops Abbots Monks Friers Nuns and all their houses and dens in England Scotland other reformed countries this plague tormented them with heate of fire and made them boyle in great heate and blaspheme the name of God yet they repented not to giue God glory The fist viall fell vpon the throne of the Pope this was the cutting off of his reuennues which were infinite out of all countries and England was the most profitable in reuennues vnto the Pope of all countries and therefore was called the Popes Asse for bearing all taxes impositions that the Popes Cardinals laid vpon it but now the Pope is faine to allow maintenance for vpholding of Popery in al countries this hath wonderfully darkned the brightnes of his glory and kingdome and this makes them gnaw their tongues for sorrow and to blaspheme the God of heauen for their paines and their sores and yet they repent not of their works The sixt plague is the drying vp of the waters of Euphrates that the way of the Kings of the East should be prepared this is an allusion to the destruction of the temporall Babilon the meaning is that as the Medes and Persians turned the Riuer Euphrates out of his course whereby they went ouer destroyed Babilon so the Lord will take away all impediments that the ten King domes that haue hitherto taken part with the Pope may destroy Rome the spirituall Babilon as the Angell interpreteth it in the next Chapter The three vncleane spirits that came out of the mouth of the Pope for now the Pope is the Dragon in that hee is aboue the Emperour and as mighty and full of venome and as ready to sting and poyson Gods children as any Dragon and he is the Beast in respect of his beastly conditions and the false witnesse in respect of all his false doctrines These vncleane spirits are the Iesuites for they are sworne at the Popes command to goe into any Countrey and spend their liues for the vpholding of the Popedome these are the rotten pillers which proppe vp the falling tower of Babell the Popedome they are called three in respect of the triple diuision of the Popes Dominions to wit into the land the sea Riuers They are compared to frogges to shew they doe as much hurt all Countries as the frogs did Egipt and they are as lothsome in the sight of God and men as frogs are in our sights as frogs turne all things that they eat to poyson so doe they all Scriptures to the poysoning of soules and their study is nothing but treasons poysonings and murders of protestant Kings Princes and Countries but according to this Prophesie at the time that God hath appointed their wicked practises shall open the eyes of all Kings to see the vildnes and horrible wickednes of Antichrist and bee prouoked against that great day of the Lord to congregate themselues in Arma Geddon which may be interpreted a house or temple falling meaning Rome and the Popedome being now ready to fall The seauenth Angell powreth out his viall into the ayre that is sets the ayre against Antichrist which is the breath of Gods Ministers and their preachings vexed and tormented him like thunders and lightenings and shooke the Popedome like the greatest earthquake that euer was and made the greatest part of the Popedome to fall and become Protestants which the Lord be praised for it wee see already to bee performed and their preaching was like vnto the greatest hayle that euer was euery haylestone as big and heauy as a talent weight by which figuratiue speeches is signified the vtter destruction of Rome as the Angell interpreteth it saying It is done and in that it is said The Citty of the Nations fell and great Babilon came in remembrance before God to giue her the cup of the fiercenesse of his wrath and that the Iles that is them of the Iles and the mountaines that is the great ones fled away that is departed from the Popes false doctrines CHAP. 17. IN this Chapter an Angell sheweth St. Iohn Rome in a vision and interpreteth all the hardest things to bee vnderstood in this Reuelation He calleth

Rome the great whore that sitteth vpon many waters and sheweth that all Kings and Nations of the earth are drunken with the wine of her fornication In the vision Saint Iohn saw a woman sit vpon a skarlet coloured beast full of names of blasphemy which had seauen heads and tenne hornes and the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet and guilded with gold precious stones and pearles and had a cup of gold in her hand full of abominations and filthines of her fornications and in her forehead was a mystery written Great Babilon the Mother of whoredomes and abhominations and the woman was drunken with the blood of Saints and martyrs of Iesus and he wondred with great maruell then the Angell told Saint Iohn he would shew him the mystery thereof The Beast which thou hast seene was and is not and shall ascend out of the bottomlesse pit and shall be destroyed and all that are not written in the booke of life shall wonder at it that hee being so mighty could be destroyed this Beast is the Emperour which was before the Reuelation it seemeth at the time thereof the Emperour was dead and no other then chosen and the Pope should ascend out of the bottomlesse pitte and be aboue the Emperour and for all his greatnesse yet hee shall goe into perdition The Angell declareth the seauen heads to signifie seauen mountaines wheron the Whore sitteth which plainely sheweth the Citty of Rome to bee that Whore for that is builded vpon seauen Mountaines and so is no other Citty Againe the Angell interpreteth the seauen heads to bee seauen Kings that is seauen kinds of gouernment in Rome of which fiue were fallen and the Idolatrous Emperours did then raigne but Constantine should quite alter the gouernment of Rome from idolatry to Christianity and hee and the Emperours following him was the seauenth King and the Beast in this vision which is the Pope is one of the seauenth gouernment in name because he professeth the name of Christ but indeed he is the eighth gouernment for hee hath quite changed the gouernment of Rome from Christianity to Popery The Angell interpreteth the ten hornes to be ten Kings which at the time of the Reuelation had not receiued a kingdome but shall receiue power at one hower with the Pope and they shall be all of one minde and giue their power and authority to him and fight with Christ but hee shall ouercome them Then the Angell interpreteth the waters where the Whore sitteth to signifie people multitudes Nations and tongues which plainely declareth the Citty of Rome to bee the Whore for no Citty from Christ to this day hath so many Countries and People vnder her dominion as that Citty and in the eighth verse the Angell interpreteth the woman to be the great Citty which at the time of the Reuelation raigned ouer the Kings of the earth and then was the Emperours seate there In that the woman sitteth vpon a scarlet coloured Beast it is because the ordinary attire of the Pope and Cardinalls is scarlet and his fulnesse of names of blasphemy is because most blasphemously he attributes vnto himselfe all Christs names In that Saint Iohn saw the woman so richly arrayed in purple scarlet and guilded with gold and precious stones and pearles thus were the Popes Cardinalls Bishops Prelates Churches and Idolls arrayed and doth most euidently declare that these Prophesies are of Rome The golden Cuppe that she holdeth in her hand is her golden name that shee stileth her selfe withall calling her selfe the Catholique Church but her doctrines which shee teacheth are filthy and abhominable blasphemies Idolatries superstitions which are the wine of her fornication wherewith shee made all Nations of the earth drunken and shee is called the great Whore in that shee is departed her selfe and hath carried so many from Christ our Spowse and from his word and committed fornication with the Diuell and his wicked doctrines and for this cause it is that the mystery Great Babilon is written in her forehead because shee is the mother of whordomes and abominations of the earth as Babilon was If there were no other note wherby it might bee knowne that these Prophefies are of Rome this were sufficiēt to declare the same in that she is said to be drunken with the blood of Saints and Martyrs of Iesus for the Romane Gouernours crucified Christ and the Romane Emperours made the tenne persecutions and the Romane Popes haue slaine more Martyrs Saints of Iesus then euer were slaine in the world before The Angell telleth vs in the 16. verse that the ten Kings which did with one consent giue their Kingdomes vnto the Pope vntill the wordes of God which hee foretold were fulfilled are they that shall hate the Whore and make her desolate and naked and shall eate her flesh and burne her with fire and the performance heereof is contained in the two next Chapters CHAP. 18. AN Angell from Heauen cryeth mightily with a loud voyce Babilon that great Citty it is fallen it is fallen and nothing shall inhabite there but Diuels wilde Beasts and foules because all Nations haue drunken of the wine of the wrath of her fornication And there came a voyce from Heauen saying Goe out of her my people that you bee not pertakers of her sinnes and that you receiue not of her plagues rewarde her as shee hath rewarded you giue her double according to her workes because shee hath glorified her selfe and liued in pleasure and saith in her heart I sit being a Queene and am no widdow and shall see no mourning therefore shall her plagues come at one day death and sorrow and famine and she shall be burned with fire for strong is the Lord God which will condemne her And the Kings that haue committed fornication with her and the Merchants that haue beene made rich by her and euery ship Maister and all that occupie ships and ship-men shall stand a farre off for feare of her torments and cry when they see the smoake of her burning saying What Citty was like to this great Citty and they shall cast dust on their foreheads and cry Alas alas the great Citty wherein were made rich all that had ships on the Sea by her costlinesse for in one hower shee is made desolate O heauen reioyce of her and ye holy Apostles and Prophets for God hath giuen your iudgement on her and an Angell tooke a great Mill-stone and cast it into the Sea saying With such violence shall the great Citty Babilon bee cast and bee found no more and there shall bee no more Musicke nor Tradesmen nor Mill heard to grinde nor candle shine nor Bridegroomes voyce bee heard there any more CHAP. 19. IN this Chapter is declared the praysing of God in Heauen and Earth for the finall destruction of Antichrist but I will first make an end of the destruction thereof In the eleuenth verse Saint Iohn saw Heauen open and Christ riding vpon a white horse and
