A33078	The Church of Rome unmask'd, or her false principles briefly detected with some reasons of so many retaining or returning to communion with her, and the great danger of everlasting destruction, that such persons, especially after separations from her, return to her communion, do run themselves on / written by a learned divine, by way of letter to a friend in the country.	Learned divine.	1679 (1679)	Wing C4196; ESTC R18501	78,331	77

now shall worship the Beast and his Image and receive his Mark in his forehead or in his hand shall either more openly or secretly either in profession or practice receive the mark and badge of communion and fellowship with the false worship of Rome for that 's clearly as was before noted the Woman supported by and riding the Beast whose worshippers are here threatned the same shall drink of the Wine of the wrath of God which is without mixture poured into the Cup of his indignation and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy Angels and in the presence of the Lamb and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever and they have no rest day or night who worship the Beast and his image and whosoever receiveth the Mark of his name A dreadful sentence worthy to be thought of and trembled at by all that still retain the false Idoatrous worship practised in the Romish Church especially by such of them as live among the Protestant reformed Churches and more especially still that having had better light and education do return or relapse thereto A sentence in which is no respect of persons but what or whoever they be high or low rich or poor Princes or peasants God will not be partial in his judgment upon them but if they will venture upon these sins they must also expect to indure these terrible torments here expressed and the Mighty man shall cry there bitterly Zeph. 1.14 O heavy portion of all our English Roman Catholicks The Lord open their eyes to see the evil of the way they are in and perswade them to renounce it to depart therefrom for it will be most sad in the latter end Though its probable that they of Rome may devise to make sad the portion of such as warn protest against them desire their conversion and that they may also prosper a while in their designs and bring sad things upon the righter Worshippers before their misery come upon them therefore it follows in Rev. 14.12 Here is the patience of the Saints here are they that keep the Commandments of God and the faith of Jesus Here namely about this time when this is proclaimed and this warning given that is mentioned in the foregoing verses here is the patience of the Saints then the Saints and right Worshippers shall have a time to exercise their patience in waiting for the accomplishment of that predicted judgment or also they may have a sad time of tryal and therein for exercise of their parience because of some eminent sufferings then befalling them to encourage them under which and to keep the Commandments of God and the faith of Jesus it is therefore added That he heard a voice from Heaven saying Writeb lessed are the dead that dy in the Lord from henceforth yea saith the Spirit that they may rest from their labours and their works shall follow them as implying that thenceforth would follow such labours and sufferings of the Saints as well would it be with those that should endure them to death so as to dy in the Lord and happy should be the dead of them rather than the living before the sad doom of the Beast-worshippers come upon them But yet as they that thenceforth especially dy in the Lord shall be blessed so the Beast-Worshippers however long they may live and their doom be deferred are and shall be in the issue most accursed Which things being so let us I pray Sir beware of that false worship keeping close to the Scriptures of truth and to the sacred truths revealed in the Scriptures and not for any respect honour friendship or worldly and carnal advantages respect them and turn aside to so corrupt and dangerous away and worship as that of the Roman Communion God will certainly better bare with such as have as it were been held captive by their deceits being always educated and brought up under them then with such as having been better instructed do turn aside to them Oh that these Nations and the Inhabitants thereof would therefore look about them and beware how they lissen to any that would thereto seduce them and mind those many convincing arguments and clear and unanswerable demonstrations of the desperate badness of that Church and its ways and Doctrines and doings which by many hands have been offered to them which yet if they please they may consult with and consider among which beside these many worthy men who have formerly wrote excellently against her corruptions as Jewel Reinolds Morton and many others the Labours of the Learned Doctor Stillingfleet Dr. Tillitson Dr. Brevint Dr. Whitby Sr. Christopher Wyvel who it seems in his Minority was educated among or insnared with them and Mr. Gilbert Burnet in my judgment are very worthy consideration And oh that men would not dally and trifle in so great a matter as their own Salvation but be serious and considerative in what they do therein allways remembring that of our Blessed Saviour What will it profit a man to gain the whole World and loose his own Soul Or what shall a man give in Exchange for his Soul For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his Angels and then he will give to every man according to his Works Math. 16.26.27 And that if thy hand offend thee cut it off and cast it from thee and so if thy foot offend thee for better it is to enter into the Kingdom of God having but one hand or foot and so halting or maimed than having two hands or two feet to be cast into Hell Fire where the Worm dyeth not and the fire is not quenched And if thine Eye thy right Eye offend thee pluck it out and cast it from thee for better it is to enter into the Kingdom of God having but one Eye then having both thine Eyes to be cast into Hell Fire where the Worms dyeth not and the Fire is not quenched Mark 9.44.48 Consider what is herein though but briefly and weakly propounded and the Lord bless it to every one that may and shall read it for the establishing them in the truth where they are weak and wavering thereabout if not yet waved therefrom and for the recovering such as have declined or departed from it and the Lord deliver us all from every evil work and preserve us to his everlasting Kingdom in whom I take my leave and remain Yours and every Mans to serve you and them in the faith and truth of Christ FINIS
