of the Prophecy page 345. distinguished as we before shewed all which Kingdoms as King James the First in his learned works makes out took their rise with Rome Papal upon the division or ruine of the Roman Empire in its civil state the body of which Kingdoms may well be called many waters viz. people multitudes nations and tongues or people of several languages which were as well known to have been under the Usurpation and Jurisdiction of Papal Rome as 't is known there have been and still are Papists in the World which doth fully answer to the very letter of the text viz. The Waters which thou sawest whereon the Whore sitteth are people and multitudes and nations and tongues Rev. 17. 18. 2. This is very evident yet further by her making all the European Kingdoms and Merchants thereof Rich that traffick by Sea by the great expence of all commodities which are swallowed up by reason of her pride and bravery which could never be effected unless she had nations and multitudes under her jurisdiction to contribute to her great pride and luxury 3. A third Instance to confirm it is the numberless number of good Christians she has prey'd upon and murdered in most of these Kingdoms for no other cause but for witnessing against her Idolatry and Usurpation which shews what power she had over these nations and tongues c. 4. And lastly The vast sums of Money she has extorted and squeezed from these Kingdoms and Nations to uphold her pretended right preheminency and usurpation over them which you have an account of by several worthy Writers who fully witness to the truth of what we say upon this respect And from the whole we shall draw this argument and proceed Arg. If there be no Body of people professed Church or State in the World under any single denomination that sits upon i. e. commands or bears rule over people multitudes nations and tongues as Rome Papal or Church of Rome doth then Rome Papal or the Church of Rome is Mystery Babylon But there is no Body of people professed Church or State under any single denomination that sits upon i. e. commands or bears rule over people multitudes nations and tongues as Rome Papal or Church of Rome doth Ergo Rome Papal or Church of Rome is Mystery Babylon To the establishing this argument let it be considered that the whole state of the Christian World consists but of these two parts viz. the Church of Rome considered as Head and Body and those who dissent from her who are so inconsiderable whether the Waldenses Albingenses Hugonots or other parties of Protestants that no one party of nay if we put them altogether can be said to sit upon i. e. command or bear Rule over people multitudes nations and tongues to answer to this Character of Mystery Babylon the Waldenses and Hugonots have been and still are a Persecuted People the Lutherans never got up so high as to command many States or Kingdoms or people of many languages Great Britain tho a Protestant State or Kingdom comes not up to answer this character much less the seven united Provinces that of late times revolted from the Crown of Spain so that if Rome Papal hath done so and no other people that dissent from her have ever yet nor could do the like then this proves Rome Papal that great Whore viz Mystery Babylon that sits upon many Waters c. VII The seventh mark or character of Mystery Babylon is this viz. She is such a Whore that Kings and great men of the Earth are said to commit Fornication with her see the text Rev. 17. 2. With whom the Kings of the Earth have committed Fornication i. e Spiritual Fornication or Fornication in a mystery or after a mysterious manner such as Jerusalem of old was charged with 2 Chron. 22. 1. Isa. 16. 26. Which was a following like Idolatry that this Woman Babylon hath done viz. corrupting the true worship of God and adoring Idols or making of Images and Representations of the true God by which they pretended to worship him and so great was her Fornication that 't is said she did corrupt the Earth with it Paral. Now that Rome Papal or Church of Rome hath this black mark and character upon her is most evident viz. such a Whore that the Kings of the Earth have committed Fornication with her she having corrupted the Earth with her filthy Fornications they following her abominable Superstition and Idolatry 1. For First Hath she adored the Pope as her Lord God universal Head and infallible Bishop setting him up above all Laws The Kings of the Earth have been so intoxicated with the cup of her Fornication that they likewise have done the same 2. Hath and doth she worship the Virgin Mary Angels and many departed Saints Even so have and do many of the Kings of the Earth likewise 3. Hath she adored Images the Crucifix the Host and Pictures of pretended Saints Even so she has caused the Kings of the Earth to do likewise 4. Hath she foolishly and Idolatroully de based her self with the adoration of the Relick● of known and unknown Saints So the very same has she caused the Kings and great men to do also 5. Hath she grosly and superstitiously worshiped the true God in a false manner By crouding in an innumerous train of detestable and foolish fopperies into his worship and pretended service which he never ordained as Candles Candlesticks Altars Vestments Spittle Salt Oyl Holy Water Beads and a world of such like trumpery So have the Kings and Noble ones of the Earth done and still do as the Emperour of Germany Kings of France Spain Portugal and England formerly and of late also from whence we will draw this argument Arg. If there be no Body of people in the Christian World pretending to a Church State that have set up Idolatry to such a degree and with whom the Kings of the Earth have jointly agreed and complied as Rome Papal or Church of Rome hath done then Rome Papal or Church of Rome is this mystery Babylon spoken of But there is no Body of people in the Christian World pretending to a Church State that hath set up Idolatry to such a degree and with whom the Kings of the Earth have complied as Rome Papal c. hath done Ergo the Church of Rome is Mystery Babylon To reinforce this argument let any man that will become an advocate for the Church of Rome shew that any people differing and dissenting from the Church of Rome are guilty of like Idolatry with whom the Kings of the Earth have complied as aforementioned and we will reject this argument but if this Character doth more fitly nay directly meet in Papal Rome our argument is good and unanswerable VIII Another Scripture Mark and Character of Mystery Babylon is this i. e. she doth not only cause the Kings of the Earth to commit Fornication with her but she hath intoxicated the minds

Truths of Jesus Christ all which fully shews that this second mark of drunkenness drunk with Blood of the Saints and of the Martyrs of Jesus meets in the Church of Rome Thirdly She has the other mark of drunkenness upon her also i. e. she matters not who she abuses and exercises her cruelties upon she has sometimes cut off her own dear Children viz. Roman Catholicks amongst such she calls Hereticks as it happened at Bezier and other places crying out Kill all both Catholicks and Hereticks saying the Lord knows who are his nay she has made the Wife to kill her Husband the Husband to murther the Wife Children to destroy their own dear Parents and Parents their Children ●f these things do not shew she is drunk drunk with Blood what can From whence ● shall draw this argument and conclude Arg. If there be no body of people or community of Christians in the World who have been guilty of so much Blood Blood of Saints ●nd good Men even so as to be drunk with Blood as the Church of Rome are Then ●he Church of Rome is Mystery Babylon But there is no people or community of Christians ●hat are so guilty c. as Rome Papal or Church of Rome is Ergo the Church of Rome ● Mystery Babylon XIV Mystery Babylon hath one mark more whereby she may be known i. e. She ● said to sit upon a Beast that hath Seven Heads and Ten Horns the Seven Heads ●●em to signify as the Angel opens it seven sorts of soveraign governments as well as hills read the Text And here is the mind that hat● wisdom the seven Heads are seven Mountains on which the Woman sitteth And there ar● seven Kings five are fallen one is and one ● not yet come but when he is come he ma● continue a short space And the Beast that w● and is not even he is the eighth and of the seve● and goeth into perdition Rev. 17. 9 10 11 Besides all that we have said it we find n● Papal Rome here viz. having this characte● upon her we will acquit her for ever for t● city that is built upon seven Hills is Rome nay you will find that all Authors do general assert that Rome is the only City in the Wor● that is founded on seven Hills and fame for it by its old Poets as it is noted by ● late Annotators as Ovid Virgil Hora● Propertius The names of these Hills a● known viz. Palatinus Quirinalis Ave●●nus Celius Veminalis Esquilinus Capit●nus But the seven Heads do not only as ● said before signify seven Hills or Mountai●● but also seven Kings that is seven sorts governments which ruled or were to rule that City where the Beast reigned that ca●ried this cursed Harlot the term Kings Scripture signifying rulers whether the government was in a single person or more ● Deut. 33. 5. Now that Rome hath had Sev● sorts of distinct soveraign governments in her is so notoriously known that the Romanists can't deny it ● Kings Romulus being the first King II. Consuls III. Tribunes IV. Decemvirs V. Dictators VI. Emperors that were Pagans VII Emperors that were Christians five of these were fallen or gone off the stage before St. John received his Revelations the Government of the Pagan Emperors was in being at that very time the seventh was to appear and to continue but a short spaco viz. the Christian Emperors government For it cannot be the Papal power for that was not up in St. Johns time so not the sixth Head. And as the Papal power for that reason could not be the sixth Head so for a very good reason it could not be the 7th Government because whensoever that appeared it was to continue but a short space which cannot intend the Papal power but answereth to the Christian Empire for that government did continue but a little while comparatively but 't is evident the Papal power has continued longer than any of the other sove●●ignties that wont before and if the Papal power be not the sixth Head nor the seventh then it must needs be the eighth which is of the seventh and ●oes into perdition ●…fe it can't be any power at all of the fourth 〈◊〉 Roman Monarchy But a power it is yea and a great power too of the fourth or Roman Monarchy And that which carrys the Whore according to the express letter of the Text and so acknowledged by the best of exposition so that in the whole by the Woman City or Whore that sitteth upon the seven Mountains and where there hath been seven several sorts or forms of Government is meant Rome there is no cause to doubt for the great Sons of Rome themselves as Baronius Bellarmine and many others do confess the same but would defend their Mother from being Mystery Babylon by putting it off to Rome-pagan which we have clearly detected in the first chapter of this treatise And therefore do affirm that Rome Papal is neither the sixth no● seventh sort of government but is the eighth and of the seventh The Christian Emperon in an overheated zeal and bounty to the Roman Bishops giving him the advantage by getting that power which through policy and pride he attained to in the end so he comes to be the last Beast or eighth Government in which there is a secular and an Ecclesiastical power joined together which makes up ● Beast a blasphemous Beast who hath two Horns like a Lamb which is this twofold power but a mouth like a Dragon and a Whore a most devilish drunken and bloody Whore. c. Arg. If Rome Papal or Church of Rome be born up by a secular power which hath had seven soveraign governments in a City seated upon seven Hills or Mountains then Rome Papal or Church of Rome is Mystery Babylon the great Whore. But Rome Papal or Church of Rome is born up by a secular power which hath had seven soveraign governments in a City seated upon seven Hills or Mountains Ergo Rome Papal c. is Mystery Babylon XV. There is yet one mark or character more of Mystery Babylon i. e. she is said to be that City that reigned over the Kings of the Earth and the Woman that thou sawest is that City that reigns over the Kings of the Earth Rev. 17 18. Now that Rome is such a City that since St. Johns time hath for several hundred of years reigned over the Kings of the Earth is so evident none can deny nay and that Rome Papal hath governed a great part of Italy her self owneth ever since Constantine who gave it as she saith as a Patrimony to St. Peter and that she hath governed or hath had her Kingdom over Germany Poland France Spain Portugal England Scotland and Ireland c. is clear so that their Kings have been governed by her whom she would they killed and whom she would they saved alive whom she willed they worshiped and so became guilty of drinking the Wine of her fornication whom she

Ecclesiastical for of either or of both it is used thus under the sixth seal the great alteration wrought in the Roman Empire when it turned from Heathenism to Christianity brought abo●● by the power of Constantine with the depo●●●● those Heathenish Emperors Captains and altering the face of the Empires Religion is called 〈◊〉 Earth-quake Chap. 6. so that the like mighty commotion with an alteration of the face of things either civil or ecclesiastick shall fall out in a tenth part of the City and shall accompany or usher 〈◊〉 this rising of the witnesses 3. Now by and through this Earth quakes falling thus out in a tenth part of the City this tenth part of it is so shaken that it falls that is ceased to be a part of the City or to belong unto its Jurisdiction any longer or which is all one falls of as we say from being of the number of those th●● give their power to the Beast which if it prove 〈◊〉 be any of the Protestant States that should yet again as was said embrace the Beasts power and come under his Jurisdiction or in order to 〈◊〉 bringing in again of the Popes power should 〈◊〉 these witnesses and so thereby become a part 〈◊〉 that City and be reckoned pertaining unto its Jurisdiction yet now revolting from under the power of this City and recoiling again through this Earth-quake it may truly be said to fall namely quâ Urbis pars est as it is a part of the City which it before was but now ceaseth to be it now utterly renouncing either to belong to its Jurisdiction or to be of its party any longer and as Earthquakes are from inward motions in the bowels of the Earth so this here may seem to rise from within that Kingdom it self whether thro' the supream Magistrates beginning to hate the Whore as the promise is Chap. 17. or the peoples abominating the cruelty and contempt put upon the Witnesses and their cause their Consciences having been enlightned in the truth while themselves were troden under as the outward Court by these Gentiles and so they come to shake off that Yoke and the Witnesses having a Spirit of life now come into them these take heart and join with them and their cause whether I say through the working of either or both of these I cannot determine but I think through both for the ruin of the City unto which this is at least the preparation is to be effected through Gods changing one of the ten Kings Hearts so to hate the Whore as to eat her flesh and burn her with fire Chap. 17. And this voice speaking unto the witnesses out of Heaven Mr. Mede conjectures to be that supream authority with which the people also shall joyn for an Earth-quake certainly notes out a commotion in the people and nations Thus far the Doctor Now that which is said to be previous to the slaying of the Witnesses is the War which the Beast would make against them when they were about finishing their Testimony in Sackcloath or in the end of the 1260. days or years which plainly implys two things First That about that time as the Doctor intimates the Beast that rose out of the Bottomless Pi● viz. the Papal power would recover strength again in this Nation or that tenth part of the City called also a Street where the Witnesses should be ●●ain and lie dead Secondly Make War against them with all imaginable power craft and policy that Hell could afford endeavouring utterly to root out Gods faithful Witnesses or Protestant Interest now have not we seen these things which the Dr. hath upon this account writ is it not evident that things in England have for many years last past been carryed on by the Papal Power not only in the late Kings reign but also before have not we seen a strange Spiritual War managed by Popish councils Priests and Jesuits and had they not very far prevailed Yea so far as to the killing of Gods Witnesses according to what the Dr. saith is meant thereby how much different hath the late times of trouble been to former days What a base compliance with the Antichristian party have we seen What a strange dispiriting of godly people nay and Ministers too Never sure such a civil death in every respect hath been seen nor known before this hour Now as to the witnesses standing on their Fee● saith the Dr. p. 170. First As men erect and taking Heart their cause being just tho' before condemned Secondly As ready to defend it and as men able and resolved now to confront their Enemies which strikes a mighty dread into their guilty Consciences great fear fell upon them that saw them their Hearts begin to sink and die at the Witnesses first beginning to live and have not we seen somewhat much like this what a strange Spirit do we see now in all sorts of Protestants against the Whore or Antichristian party both here and in Scotland also More especially as touching the Ascention of the Witnesses they shall hear a voice Come up hither it certainly signifies some more glorious Church State and restoration of the Primitive Purity that shall attend the Saints and Church of God and when that comes to pass may be such a measure of the spirit may be given as to unite all Faithful and Godly Protestants into one Body and Communion and then the Spouse or Church of God will come forth out of the Wilderness as terrible as an Army with banners Cant. 6. 4.
