all_o popish_a proceed_n which_o be_v here_o mean_v by_o the_o two_o witness_n for_o assure_o these_o two_o witness_n do_v not_o signify_v enoch_n and_o elias_n as_o the_o papist_n and_o some_o

against_o the_o pope_n his_o clergy_n his_o doctrine_n his_o religion_n and_o all_o his_o abominable_a proceed_n they_o be_v call_v witness_n because_o they_o shall_v bear_v witness_n unto_o the_o truth_n they_o be_v say_v two_o in_o number_n for_o three_o reason_n first_o because_o they_o be_v very_o few_o in_o those_o day_n when_o popery_n do_v so_o general_o prevail_v for_o two_o be_v the_o

from_o above_o and_o especial_o to_o stand_v fast_o to_o the_o truth_n in_o the_o heat_n of_o persecution_n and_o trouble_n it_o be_v say_v that_o these_o two_o witness_n shall_v prophesy_v that_o

in_o this_o world_n for_o in_o old_a time_n when_o man_n do_v fast_o and_o mourn_v they_o do_v use_v to_o put_v on_o sackloath_n it_o follow_v then_o that_o these_o faithful_a preacher_n and_o witness_n of_o the_o truth_n do_v not_o spend_v their_o day_n in_o mirth_n jollity_n and_o worldly_a pomp_n and_o bravery_n as_o do_v the_o pope_n clergy_n and_o pompous_a prelate_n of_o antichrist_n now_o if_o any_o man_n will_v demand_v how_o this_o may_v appear_v that_o there_o have_v be_v always_o some_o raise_v up_o of_o god_n to_o write_v preach_v declare_v and_o speak_v against_o the_o

be_v also_o compare_v to_o two_o candlestick_n because_o that_o as_o the_o candlestick_n bear_v up_o the_o candle_n set_v upon_o it_o so_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n bear_v up_o and_o hold_v

these_o two_o winess_n and_o offer_v they_o wrong_v because_o of_o their_o baseness_n and_o contempt_n in_o the_o world_n that_o there_o be_v a_o fire_n come_v out_o of_o their_o mouth_n that_o be_v

outward_a miracle_n as_o they_o do_v but_o because_o they_o shall_v be_v furnish_v with_o spiritual_a power_n which_o be_v far_o great_a for_o most_o sure_a it_o be_v that_o the_o invisible_a and_o spiritual_a power_n where_o with_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v arm_v be_v very_o great_a and_o glorious_a though_o the_o world_n see_v it_o not_o nor_o know_v it_o not_o for_o the_o

observe_v one_o special_a thing_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o gospel_n which_o this_o angel_n fly_v withal_o contain_v the_o brief_a sum_n of_o all_o the_o doctrine_n which_o luther_n calvin_n peter_n martyr_n and_o the_o rest_n have_v teach_v out_o of_o god_n word_n and_o agree_v in_o all_o point_n with_o it_o for_o what_o other_o thing_n do_v they_o all_o preach_v teach_v and_o write_v but_o that_o man_n shall_v turn_v from_o idol_n to_o the_o live_a god_n from_o fear_v glorify_v and_o worship_v creature_n to_o fear_v worship_n and_o glorify_v god_n alone_o which_o have_v make_v all_o thing_n what_o other_o thing_n do_v all_o the_o preacher_n of_o this_o age_n publish_v and_o proclaim_v in_o all_o their_o sermon_n but_o this_o fear_v god_n and_o give_v glory_n only_o to_o he_o be_v not_o this_o the_o epitome_n and_o short_a sum_n of_o all_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o preacher_n of_o england_n scotland_n germany_n france_n denmark_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o this_o angel_n must_v needs_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o preacher_n of_o this_o last_o age_n which_o now_o these_o fourscore_o year_n have_v sound_v the_o trumpet_n of_o the_o

and_o there_o follow_v another_o angel_n say_v 8._o verse_n 8._o it_o be_v fall_v it_o be_v fall_v babylon_n that_o great_a city_n for_o she_o give_v to_o all_o nation_n to_o drink_v the_o wine_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o her_o fornication_n here_o be_v set_v down_o the_o bless_a effect_n of_o the_o preach_n of_o this_o everlasting_a gospel_n which_o be_v the_o downfall_n of_o babylon_n for_o as_o when_o the_o clear_a sun_n arise_v upon_o the_o earth_n the_o thick_a mist_n and_o cloud_n be_v disperse_v even_o so_o when_o the_o bright_a beam_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v shine_v forth_o unto_o

point_n be_v to_o prove_v these_o five_o point_n out_o of_o this_o verse_n and_o that_o which_o follow_v unto_o the_o twenty_o chapter_n to_o wit_n first_o that_o babylon_n here_o signify_v rome_n second_o that_o rome_n shall_v fall_v and_o how_o three_o that_o rome_n shall_v fall_v final_o and_o come_v to_o utter_v desolation_n in_o this_o life_n four_o by_o who_o and_o when_o it_o shall_v be_v overthrow_v last_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o utter_a ruin_n and_o overthrow_v thereof_o take_v how_o rome_n be_v to_o be_v take_v but_o before_o i_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v that_o babylon_n here_o be_v rome_n i_o will_v have_v it_o careful_o observe_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o rome_n viz._n not_o the_o topography_n of_o rome_n that_o be_v so_o much_o ground_n only_o as_o be_v compass_v within_o the_o wall_n of_o that_o city_n but_o the_o regiment_n government_n and_o prerogative_n that_o be_v claim_v by_o virtue_n of_o that_o monarchy_n whereof_o rome_n be_v the_o head_n by_o rome_n be_v mean_v the_o power_n and_o authority_n of_o rome_n or_o to_o speak_v plain_o by_o rome_n be_v mean_v the_o roman_a monarchy_n further_o we_o be_v here_o to_o observe_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o holy_a ghost_n call_v rome_n babylon_n for_o rome_n literal_o and_o proper_o take_v be_v not_o babylon_n in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o be_v two_o divers_a city_n one_o in_o italy_n the_o other_o in_o chaldea_n but_o rome_n be_v call_v babylon_n mystical_o figurative_o and_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v spiritual_o and_o by_o a_o kind_n of_o allusion_n babylon_n chap._n 11.8_o a_o reason_n why_o rome_n be_v call_v babylon_n for_o as_o the_o old_a eastern_a babylon_n do_v a_o long_a time_n oppress_v the_o church_n of_o the_o jew_n so_o rome_n this_o western_a babylon_n have_v long_o oppress_v the_o church_n of_o the_o christian_n as_o the_o eastern_a babylon_n do_v many_o year_n hold_v down_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o miserable_a bondage_n and_o servitude_n so_o the_o western_a babylon_n do_v a_o long_a time_n keep_v the_o christian_a church_n in_o spiritual_a thraldom_n and_o misery_n in_o which_o respect_v rome_n be_v spiritual_o compare_v to_o sodom_n and_o egypt_n to_o sodom_n for_o filthiness_n and_o to_o egypt_n for_o idolatry_n and_o keep_v god_n church_n in_o spiritual_a bondage_n and_o slavery_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o rome_n be_v call_v babylon_n which_o be_v not_o simple_o and_o proper_o but_o after_o a_o sort_n that_o be_v by_o a_o phrase_n of_o speech_n or_o trope_n which_o they_o call_v a_o metonymy_n or_o change_v of_o name_n when_o that_o be_v give_v to_o one_o thing_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o another_o for_o the_o likeness_n of_o quality_n that_o it_o have_v with_o it_o or_o adjoin_v unto_o it_o now_o have_v show_v the_o reason_n why_o rome_n be_v call_v babylon_n and_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o rome_n we_o be_v to_o proceed_v to_o the_o first_o point_n which_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o babylon_n in_o this_o place_n signify_v rome_n which_o although_o it_o be_v grant_v of_o all_o sound_a divine_n and_o avouch_v in_o the_o writing_n of_o the_o best_a learned_a both_o new_a and_o old_a so_o as_o it_o shall_v need_v no_o great_a proof_n yet_o will_v i_o add_v three_o or_o four_o reason_n out_o of_o this_o book_n to_o make_v it_o more_o plain_a and_o apparent_a first_o therefore_o i_o do_v thus_o reason_v out_o of_o the_o seventeen_o chapter_n and_o last_o verse_n babylon_n be_v that_o great_a city_n which_o reign_v over_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o there_o be_v no_o other_o city_n which_o do_v reign_v over_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n when_o john_n write_v this_o book_n but_o only_o rome_n therefore_o rome_n be_v babylon_n for_o as_o for_o jerusalem_n it_o be_v at_o that_o time_n make_v a_o heap_n of_o stone_n the_o first_o proposition_n be_v avouch_v by_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n expound_v unto_o john_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o great_a whore_n who_o damnation_n he_o have_v show_v he_o before_o and_o by_o the_o woman_n which_o sit_v upon_o a_o scarlet_a colour_a beast_n the_o woman_n which_o thou_o see_v 17.18_o chap._n 17.18_o say_v the_o angel_n to_o saint_n john_n be_v that_o great_a city_n which_o reign_v over_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o be_v to_o say_v rome_n or_o the_o romish_a synagogue_n and_o malignant_a church_n for_o the_o angel_n can_v not_o speak_v more_o plain_o except_o he_o shall_v have_v name_v rome_n then_o to_o say_v thus_o the_o woman_n the_o great_a whore_n of_o babylon_n be_v the_o great_a city_n which_o reign_v over_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v the_o great_a city_n of_o england_n every_o man_n know_v that_o thereby_o be_v mean_v london_n if_o one_o shall_v say_v the_o great_a city_n of_o france_n every_o one_o know_v that_o thereby_o be_v mean_v paris_n so_o when_o the_o angel_n say_v the_o great_a city_n which_o reign_v over_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n all_o that_o live_v in_o those_o time_n know_v that_o thereby_o be_v mean_v rome_n rome_n babylon_n be_v rome_n for_o rome_n be_v the_o chief_a city_n of_o the_o monarchy_n and_o be_v put_v in_o this_o book_n for_o the_o whole_a monarchy_n and_o the_o religion_n thereof_o as_o have_v be_v say_v before_o my_o second_o reason_n be_v this_o 17._o chap._n 17._o babylon_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o

babylon_n be_v that_o city_n which_o have_v have_v seven_o several_a government_n but_o only_o rome_n have_v have_v seven_o several_a kind_n of_o government_n therefore_o rome_n be_v babylon_n the_o
