A03335	Mystical babylon, or Papall Rome A treatise vpon those words, Apocal. 18.2. It is fallen, it is fallen Babylon, &c. In which the wicked, and miserable condition of Rome, as shee now is in her present Babylonian estate, and as she shall be in her future ineuitable ruine, is fully discouered: and sundry controuersiall points of religion, betwixt the Protestants, and the Papists, are briefly discussed. By Theophilus Higgons, rector of the parochiall Church of Hunton, neere Maidstone in Kent.	Higgons, Theophilus, 1578?-1659.	1624 (1624)	STC 13455; ESTC S118140	129,351	289

course_n for_o i_o find_v three_o several_a opinion_n in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n upon_o this_o point_n 1._o the_o first_o give_v all_o temporal_a dominion_n direct_o unto_o the_o pope_n as_o the_o principal_a sovereign_n of_o the_o world_n from_o who_o all_o prince_n dependent_o hold_v their_o crown_n these_o be_v true_a babylonian_n indeed_o but_o all_o such_o be_v actual_a traitor_n against_o the_o dignity_n and_o supreme_a honour_n of_o the_o crown_n of_o prince_n under_o who_o they_o live_v 2._o the_o second_o give_v all_o spiritual_a power_n not_o temporal_a to_o the_o pope_n but_o yet_o indirect_o draw_v on_o a_o temporal_a power_n over_o prince_n in_o ordine_fw-la ad_fw-la spiritualia_fw-la in_fw-la ordine_fw-la ad_fw-la deum_fw-la etc._n etc._n viz._n that_o the_o pope_n may_v depose_v a_o heretical_a or_o a_o irregular_a prince_n from_o his_o crown_n as_o have_v authority_n over_o he_o in_o this_o case_n to_o deprive_v he_o of_o his_o estate_n all_o such_o babylonian_n be_v habitual_a traitor_n dispose_v and_o always_o resolve_v in_o preparation_n of_o heart_n to_o execute_v any_o papal_a sentence_n of_o deposition_n as_o far_o as_o they_o can_v against_o their_o own_o natural_a lord_n and_o sovereign_n prince_n 3._o the_o three_o opinion_n deny_v the_o second_o of_o these_o as_o the_o second_o deny_v the_o first_o give_v a_o mere_a spiritual_a authority_n unto_o the_o pope_n to_o excommunicate_v a_o prince_n for_o his_o correction_n and_o salvation_n and_o to_o bring_v he_o to_o a_o penitent_a submission_n unto_o god_n and_o his_o church_n but_o without_o any_o such_o temporal_a effect_n as_o the_o second_o opinion_n do_v enforce_v and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n in_o this_o kingdom_n so_o wise_o devise_v and_o necessary_o enact_v though_o it_o subvert_v and_o contradict_v the_o first_o and_o second_o opinion_n yet_o it_o leave_v this_o last_o and_o three_o opinion_n untouched_a neither_o affirm_v nor_o deny_v it_o because_o all_o moderate_a papist_n that_o treat_v of_o the_o pope_n power_n as_o namely_o doctor_n barkley_n and_o the_o more_o mild_a babylonian_n in_o england_n deny_v it_o in_o the_o first_o and_o second_o degree_n do_v yet_o constant_o affirm_v it_o in_o the_o three_o but_o these_o man_n find_v least_o grace_n in_o babylon_n which_o be_v more_o delight_v with_o the_o second_o opinion_n and_o chief_o with_o the_o first_o and_o therefore_o we_o see_v that_o as_o the_o first_o grow_v daily_o more_o strong_a in_o rome_n so_o the_o second_o have_v late_o get_v more_o advantage_n in_o france_n in_o the_o minority_n of_o the_o king_n by_o the_o subtle_a oration_n of_o cardinal_n peron_n which_o our_o most_o excellent_a sovereign_n have_v clear_o refute_v by_o his_o divine_a and_o learned_a pen._n to_o conclude_v now_o the_o three_o proof_n of_o my_o assertion_n you_o may_v perceive_v that_o the_o large_a dominion_n of_o babylon_n which_o the_o jesuit_n true_o find_v in_o rome_n but_o false_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v there_o within_o a_o very_a little_a time_n only_o before_o her_o ruin_n do_v appertain_v unto_o the_o church_n and_o not_o unto_o the_o city_n but_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o it_o be_v the_o place_n wherein_o the_o pope_n do_v reign_n so_o that_o in_o it_o his_o successor_n must_v continue_v even_o until_o the_o time_n of_o antichrist_n when_o they_o shall_v be_v expel_v out_o of_o the_o confine_n thereof_o and_o there_o they_o shall_v exercise_v their_o domination_n not_o only_o with_o saint_n peter_n key_n but_o also_o with_o his_o two_o sword_n this_o be_v the_o power_n of_o babylon_n which_o the_o revelation_n do_v true_o foretell_v and_o which_o these_o jesuit_n can_v not_o discern_v therein_o but_o as_o humane_a reason_n disapprove_v their_o idle_a conceit_n and_o naked_a conjecture_n so_o certain_a experience_n join_v with_o divine_a prediction_n do_v confirm_v our_o assertion_n in_o this_o point_n and_o so_o i_o come_v unto_o a_o four_o and_o a_o more_o important_a proof_n thereof_o fourthly_a therefore_o i_o prove_v it_o out_o of_o the_o conformity_n betwixt_o the_o prediction_n of_o saint_n paul_n and_o the_o revelation_n of_o saint_n john_n both_o contain_v one_o sense_n of_o matter_n under_o different_a form_n of_o word_n the_o point_n itself_o be_v one_o as_o proceed_v from_o one_o spirit_n first_o then_o it_o be_v the_o prediction_n of_o saint_n paul_n that_o antichrist_n shall_v be_v reveal_v

meritorious_a cause_n of_o her_o fall_n apoc._n 17.2_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n have_v commit_v fornication_n with_o she_o and_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v drunken_a with_o

of_o the_o small_a subject_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o make_v they_o his_o instrument_n and_o to_o turn_v they_o as_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o employ_v they_o here_o than_o

in_o this_o work_n so_o nabuchadnezzar_n himself_o a_o cruel_a proud_a insolent_a prince_n in_o his_o war_n do_v so_o perform_v the_o will_n and_o purpose_n of_o god_n therein_o that_o god_n himself_o
