A66360	Ho Antichristos the great antichrist revealed, before this time never discovered, and proved to be neither pope, nor Turk, nor any single person, nor the succession of any one monarch or tyrant in any policies, but a collected pack, or multitude of hypocritical, heretical, blasphemous, and most scandalous wicked men that have fulfilled all the prophesies of the Scriptures ... and especially have united ... together by a solemn league and covenant to slay the two witnesses of God, Moses and Aaron ... that is, the supreme magistrate of the Commonwealth, and the chief pastors and governours of the Church of Christ, and the Christian world is requested to judge whether the Assembly of Presbyterians consulting at Westminster, together with the independents, Anabaptists, and lay-preachers be not the false prophet ... and whether the prevalent faction of the long Parliament ... that killed the two witnesses of Jesus Christ, 1. Charles the First ... 2. William Laud ... be not the grosse and visible body of the same antichrist / by Gr. Williams.	Williams, Gryffith, 1589?-1672.	1660 (1660)	Wing W2662; ESTC R25201	504,825	313

Weapons were but paper Bullets and his Speares but feeble quills and therefore though they may prevail in Hierusalem the City of God yet oftentimes corruit in platea veritas the Steel cuts the quills in peeces and the truth is trodden down in the streets of Babylon where the Devill ruleth and where this head of the Beast thus wounded with the Sword of truth was healed for 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the wound of his death or his deadly wound was healed saith the Text that is by the Weapon salve and by the Warre that they made against the truth because the wound was but 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 quasi mortifera as it were a deadly wound Non quod revera talis erat sed quia talis videbatur not that it was struck dead indeed for then it could not have been healed Cohnelius a Lapide in loc but that it seemed so and did appear sufficiently to be so to all honest men as Cornel. a Lapide well observeth for it was such a wound that although to them which obey not the truth but are like the fool Harpaste that as Seneca saith How the deadly wound of the Parliament was healed was as blind as a Beetle and yet nesciebat se esse caecam would by no meanes be perswaded that her eye-sight failed her but that the Room was dark the Kings confutation of their lyes the detection of their falshood and the manifestation of the truth and his innocency were like Cassandra's Prophesies and would give them no satisfaction yet to all those that had their eyes open and had sence to perceive the light of truth this head appeared to be so sufficiently wounded that it was plain and bootless to adde any Playster to revive it or to have it further to be disputed But it is conceived that the Parliament hoped to thrive better by Club-law then by any truth and therefore in this question they will needs dispute the matter again and for a melius inquirendum the question must be decided by the Sword that often beats down the truth and prevails against the right And so now herein Quia opera Dei judicia ejus occulta esse possunt in justa esse non possunt Augustinus God that in and out of his secret Councel doth all things well and cannot do any thing ill or unjust though we know neither the causes nor the reasons of his doings permitted as the Prophet saith he did in his time veritatem in platea corruere the truth to be trodden under foot and as he gave leave to Satan to overthrowe the House of righteous Job and to slay his Children every one so he gave way to the Quack salvers to heal with their Weapons of Warre the wound that the King and the Prieft had made with the Sword of truth And Mr. Medes Reason to prove the Roman Empire revived by the Pope to be this head that was wounded videlicet because that whatsoever evill the Beast is mentioned to have committed whatsoever adoration or worship is done unto him all that is said to have come to passe after the curing of his wound for I saw saith St. John one of his heads Mr. Mede p. 54. Mr. Medes reason to be applied rather to the Parliament then to the Empire revived by the Pope in Charles the Great as it were wounded to death and his deadly wound was healed and then he addeth and all the World wondered after the Beast that is now being healed they wondered after him and worshipped him and he opened his mouth in blaspemy c. all after his healing and none of his hainous acts are mentioned or any subjection done unto him or any honour conferred upon him by the Nations before his wound was healed I say this doth in all things agree with the long Parliament far better then the Roman Empire revived by the Pope for the Eastern Empire which was the best part of the Roman Empire was quite lost from him and never revived by him since the time of Momyllus called also Augustulus and the Western Empire conferred upon Carolus Magnus the Sonne of Pepin King of France was ever since rather weakened then revived by the Pope that hath made it a Skeleton to rest in Germany without much honour besides the title and with lesse power then ever it had before but for that Parliament we know that till their deadly wound was healed by their Sword and by their Victories and successes neither did the people yield unto them their subjection nor the Nations round about them honour them with such Complements nor themselves commit such horrible wickednesses as afterwards we have heard and some have seen so amply done but when their wound was once healed and they became Masters of all that opposed them then began their Io Paean and all the foresaid things succeeded and they are said to have proceeded a malo ad pejus and as the Poet saith From bad to worse from worse to worst of all 10. How all the World wondered after the Beast And therefore it is said then v. 3. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 all the World wondered after the Beast so they did after the Parliament and so they might wonder well enough to see the falshood of the Parliament in their accusation against the King and his Party so clearly detected and the truth and uprightness of the Kings proceedings so fully confirmed to the World and yet to finde these like incredulous Jewes and like Jannes and Jambres to resist Moses and to wage Warre against the truth and against all right and to prevail against them which is able if any thing be able to make all the World wonder at it The Parallel as the Holy Ghost saith they did for who would not wonder 1. To see men so impudent as to warre against the truth and against innocency Two things to be justly wondered at and Children warring against their Parents and subjects against their King and which is more 2. To see iniquity prevailing against equity and wickedness against piety and the followers of the Antichrist against the Servants of Christ But though this may move us to wonder at it and to wonder much at all this quia mirabilis Deus in operibus suis because God is wonderfull in all his works and more especially wonderfull in his judgements Psal 37.35 when suffering the wicked to flourish like a green Bay-tree he chasteneth his own Children every morning and hedgeth their wayes even with thorns that they cannot step aside Hosea 2.6 but they shall be wounded yet we may not by any meanes forsake oppressed righteousness and be partakers with the wrong-doers in their prosperous iniquity and though to the amazement of all beholders we see God permitting them to thrive prevall and prosper in all their wayes yet must not we cast our lots with them V. 4. To worship the Beast what it signifieth Hinc male
