In the discovery of which, is made known the pure use of the holy scriptures (which by them is denyed) the true Christ, and how he justifies, his second coming proved not to be already (as the Quaker affirms) also the resurrection from the dead, and the eternal judgement, and several other particulars that saints are required to be stedfast in. / Set forth especially for the good of those that are called out of the world, into the primitive order of the Gospel, but may be usefull for all people.

MAny honest men fearing God in these latter times have been mistaken in saying that the Romish Whore of Babylon is the Antichrist that the Scripture speaks of but men may see in this latter part of this last time with a serious and diligent search of the Scriptures through grace that the great Whore of Babylon is not the Antichrist And it being so that God having shewed it mee through the Scriptures I being not accounted of in the World knowing that God doth great things by them that are not esteemed among men that no flesh may glory c and considering that this which I do in this work may bee seasonable and for much profit to the people of God and for the praise and glory of God I shall shew in brief that the Whore is not the Antichrist And for the clearing up of this Truth First You may see who this great Whore of Babylon is by noting her chief Seat where it is and that is at Rome for John saith Revel 17. that the great Whore of Babylon which sitteth upon many waters is that City which reigneth over the Kings of the earth Now Rome only was the chief City and reigned over the Kings of the earth when John wrote the Revelation for when Christ was born Augustus Caesar taxed all the World Luke 2.1 2 3. and when Paul appeals to Caesar they send him to Rome Acts 25.11 chap. 27.1 chap. 28.16 so it is plain by these Scriptures and many more that when John wrote the Revelation that Rome reigned over the Kings of the earth therefore the chief Seat of this VVoman the great Whore the Mother of Whoredoms is the City of Rome so then the Pope and his Cardinals Bishops and Clergy and all Ministers that have ordination from them immediately or by succession which stand in a National way is the Whore that sits upon many waters which is people and multitudes and Nations and Tongues Rev. 17.15 Secondly The Church of Rome and all National standing is truly said to be whorish because she bringeth in Members and accounteth them of the Body or Church of Christ by generation and so maketh her Church National whereas the Church of Christ is by Regeneration or New Birth Tit. 3.5 and so not National nor dependent but particular or independent Thirdly This appeareth fully that the Church of Rome is a Mother of Harlots and all National Churches that spring from her are Whorish because she baptiseth or sprinkleth upon a fleshly account and so accounts of her Members in a fleshly way by Generation and so brings in Infants in a lineal way bringing in the Old Covenant in a confused manner and so receiveth false Seed and so knoweth her Members and her Children in a fleshly way contrary to the express way of Christ as Paul sheweth Rom. 9.8 saith he They which are the children of the flesh are not the Children of God but the Children of the Promise are counted for the Seed and 2 Cor. 5.15 16 17. he sheweth that since the death of Christ henceforth know we no man after the flesh yea though we had known Christ after the flesh yet now henceforth know we him no more therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new Creature old things are passed away behold all things are become new Fourthly The Church of Rome the Lord Bishops and Presbyters which spring from her for they hold their Ordination which they had of her shew themselves to be whorish because they have forsaken the Lord Jesus Christ the Head and his ways and have gone a whoring after their own inventions as Israel did Psal 106. 39. for the Lord Jesus ascended up on high and gave gifts to men and so sends forth a Ministry by gifts for the gathering together of the Saints for the work of the Ministry and for edification of the Body of Christ till we all meet together in the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect man c. Ephes 4.8 9 10 11 12 13. but this Harlot contrariwise brings up her Ministry to Human learning in sending them to the Universities to learn Philosophy from Aristotle a Heathen Author and such like and for them that are gifted by the Lord if they preach she forbids them And note also that the Ministers of Christ ministring by gift Rom. 12.6 7. being qualified according to this 1 Tim. 3. and Tit. 1. and approved by the Congregation of the Lord they are chosen by them and ordained and so made Bishops or Elders Acts 1.21 to the end chap. 6.5 chap. 14.23 but this Harlot makes her Ministers or rather Lords without the consent of her Parishes and forceth them in upon them whether they will or no and so her maintenance is by Tithes forced from men bringing in the old Priesthood yea in the time of the Law they did not imprison men if they did not pay their tithes that we find and yet shee doth and so this Romish Harlot which hath made all Nations drunk with the wine of her Fornication her children are children of Fornication according to the flesh by generation a Carnal seed consisting of Parishes which many of them consist of Swearers and Lyars and Drunkards and Whoremongers and such like and a Human carnal Ministry forced upon the people and forced maintenance and also her poor is maintained by force and forcing men to worship with her or else Fines Imprisonment Banishment or Death must be their Portion and also she hath changed the Ordinances and the manner of administring them and the subject and so her way is not the way of love and so not the way of Christ and yet she saith in her heart and word I am and there is none else I sit being a Queen and am no Widow and shall see no sorrow and so let every one weigh well what is said that the Saints at Rome were once famous Rom. 1.8 but in time they departed from their
