so many holy Bishops and other faithfull crowned with the glory of Martyrdome WISHETH euerlasting felicitie in CHRIST our Sauiour TO YOV MOST SACRED AND INVINCIBLE EMPEROVR RIGHT HIGH AND MIGHTIE KINGS RIGHT EXCELLENT FREE PRINCES AND STATES MY LOVING BRETHREN AND COVSINS To you I say as of right belongeth doe I consecrate and direct this Warning of mine or rather Preamble to my reprinted Apologie for the Oath of Allegiance For the cause is generall and concerneth the Authoritie and Priuiledge of Kings in generall and all supereminent Temporall powers And if in whatsoeuer Societie or Corporation of men either in Corporations of Cities or in the Corporation of any mechanike craft or handie-worke euery man is carefull to maintain the priuiledges of that Societie whereunto hee is sworne nay they will rather cluster all in one making it a common cause exposing themselues to all sorts of perill then suffer the least breach in their Liberties If those of the baser sort of people I say be so curious and zealous for the preseruation of their common priuiledges and liberties as if the meanest amongst them bee touched in any such poynt they thinke it concerneth them all Then what should we doe in such a case whom GOD hath placed in the highest thrones vpon earth made his Lieutenants Vice-gerents and euen seated vs vpon his owne throne to execute his Iudgements The consideration heereof hath now moued me to expone a Case vnto you which doeth not so neerely touch mee in my particular as it doeth open a breach against our authoritie I speake in the plurall of all Kings and priuiledge in generall And since not onely all rankes and sorts of people in all Nations doe inuiolably obserue this Maxime but euen the Ciuill Law by which the greatest part of Christendome is gouerned doeth giue them an interest qui fouent consimilem causam How much more then haue ye interest in this cause not being similis or par causa to yours but eadem with yours and indeed yee all fouetis or at least fouere debetis eandem causam mecum And since this cause is common to vs all both the ciuill Lawes and the municipall Lawes of all Nations permits and warne them that haue a common interest to concurre in one for the defence of their common cause yea common sence teacheth vs with the Poet Ecquid Ad te pòst paulò ventura pericula sentis Nam tua res agitur paries cùm proximus ardet Awake then while it is time and suffer not by your longer sleepe the strings of your Authoritie to be cut in singulis and one and one to your generall ruine which by your vnited forces would rather make a strong rope for the enemie to hang himselfe in with Achitophel then that hee should euer be able to breake it As for this Apologie of mine it is true that I thought good to set it first out without putting my name vnto it but neuer so as I thought to deny it remembring well mine owne words but taken out of the Scripture in the beginning of the Preface to the Reader in my 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that nothing is so hid which shall not bee opened c promising there which with GOD his grace I shall euer performe neuer to doe that in secret which I shall need to be ashamed of when it shall come to be proclaimed in publique In deed I thought it fit for two respects that this my Apologie should first visite the world without hauing my name written in the forehead thereof First because of the matter and next of the persons that I medled with The matter it being a Treatise which I was to write containing reasons discourses in Diuinity for the defence of the Oath of Allegiance and refutation of the condemners therof I thought it not comely for one of my place to put my name to books concerning scholastick Disputations whose calling is to set forth Decrees in the Imparatiue moode for I thinke my selfe as good a man as the Pope by his reuerence for whom these my Answerers make the like excuse for that his Breues are so summary without yeelding any reason vnto them My next reason was the respect of the persons whom with I meddled Wherein although I shortly answered the Popes Breues yet the point I most laboured being the refutation of Bellarmines Letter I was neuer the man I confesse that could thinke a Cardinall a meet match for a King especially hauing many hundreth thousands of my subiects of as good birth as he As for his Church dignitie his Cardinalship I meane I know not how to ranke or value it either by the warrant of God his word or by the ordinance of Emperours or Kings it being indeed onely a new Papall erection tolerated by the sleeping conniuence of our Predecessors I meane still by the plurall of Kings But notwithstanding of this my forbearing to put my name vnto it some Embassadours of some of you my louing Brethren and Cosins whome this cause did neereliest concerne can witnesse that I made Presents of some of those bookes at their first printing vnto them and that auowedly in my owne name As also the English Paragraphist or rather peruerse Pamphleter Parsons since all his desciption must runne vpon a P. hath truely obserued that my Armes are affixed in the frontispice thereof which vseth not to bee in bookes of other mens doing whereby his malice in pretending his ignorance that he might pay me the soundlier is the more inexcusable But now that I find my sparing to put my name vnto it

cannot otherwise ouer-reach her he speweth forth waters like floods to cary her away which signifieth many Nations that were let loose to persecute and vex the Church And in the xiij Chapter out of that Sea of Nations that persecuted her ariseth that great Citie Queene of all the Nations and head of that persecution figured by a Beast with seuen heads and ten hornes like a Leopard as well for the colour because it was full of spots that is defiled with corruptions as also vsing a bastard forme of gouernement in shew spirituall but in deed temporall ouer the Kings of the earth like the Leopard that is a bastard beast betwixt a Lion and a Parde hauing ●eete like a Beare to signifie his great strength and the mouth of a Lion to shew his rauenous and cruell disposition This Beast who had his power from the Dragon and had gotten a deadly wound in one of his heads or formes of gouernment by the Gothes and Vandals and yet was healed againe opened his mouth to blasphemies and made warre against the Saints nay all the world must worship him which worship Ethnicke Rome neuer craued of any being contented to call their neighbour Kings Amici socij populi Romani And whether worship or adoration euen with that same title hee vsed to Popes at their creation our Cardinall can best tell you But then commeth another beast vp out of the earth hauing indeed a more firme setled originall for she doth visibly and outwardly succeed to the true Church and therefore she hath two hornes like the Lambe in outward shew representing the spouse of CHRIST and pretending CHRIST to bee her defence But shee speaketh like the Dragon teaching damnable and deuilish doctrine And this Apostatike I should say Apostolike Church after that she hath made her great power manifest to the world by doing all that the first Beast could doe In conspectu eius that is by shewing the greatnesse of her power to be nothing inferiour to the greatnesse of the former Ethnicke Empire shee then is mooued with so great a desire to aduance this Beast now become Antichrist as shee causeth the earth and all that dwell therein to worship this former Beast or Roman Monarch transferring so as it were her owne power in his person Yea euen Emperours and Kings shall be faine to kisse his feet And for this purpose shall she worke great Miracles wherin she greatly prides her selfe deceiuing men with lying wonders and efficacie of lyes as S. Paul saith And amongst the rest of her wonders she must bring Fire out of heauen Fulmen excommunicationis which can dethrone Princes So that all that will not worship the image of the Beast that is his vnlimited Supremacie must be killed and burnt as Heretikes Yea so peremptory will this Beast or false Prophet be so called in the xvj Chapter of this booke for the aduancement of the other Beast or Antichrist as all sorts and rankes of people must receiue the marke or name of that Beast in their right hand or in their forehead without the which it should bee lawfull to none to buy or sell By the Marke in the forehead signifying their outward profession and acknowledgement of their subiection vnto her And by the Marke in their right hand signifying their actuall implicite obedidience vnto her who they thinke cannot erre though shee should commaund them to rebell against their naturall Princes like that Coeca obediencia wherunto all the Iesuits are sworne and like those Romish priests in this Countrey that haue renounced and forsworne againe that Oath of Alleagiance grounded vpon their naturall oath which thought at their taking it they confessed they did it out of conscience and as obliged thereunto by their naturall duetie yet now must they forsweare it againe for obedience to the Popes command to whose will their conscience and reason must be blindly captiuated And who euer denied this absolute power might neither buy nor sell for no man was bound to keepe any faith or obserue any ciuill contracts with Heretikes yea to aequiuocate and commit periurie towards them is a lawfull thing in a Catholike Now as to the Mystery anent the Number of his name whether it shal be vnderstood by the number composed of the Letters in that Greeke word ΛΑΤΕΙΝΟΣ which word well sutes with the Romish Church Romish Faith and Latine Seruice Or whether in respect that in the Text it is called the number of the man ye will take it for the number or date of the yeere of GOD wherein that first Man liued that first tooke the title of the Antichrist vpon him I leaue it to the Readers choise By that first Man I meane Bonifacius tertius who first called himselfe Vniuersall Bishop which S. Gregorie that liued till within three yeeres of his time foretold would be the style of the Antichrist or his Praecursor for though he died threescore yeeres before the 666. of CHRIST yet was that Title but fully setled vpon his Successors sixtie yeeres after his time Or if yee list to count it from Pompey his spoiling of the Temple to this same Mans time it will goe very neere to make iust vp the said number 666. Now the raigne of the Antichrist being thus prophetically described in the xiij Chapter his fall is prophecied in the xiiij First by the ioyfull and triumphall New song of the Saints in heauen And next by the proclamation of three Angels whereof the first hauing an euerlasting Gospel in his hand to preach to all Nations the true armour indeed wherewith the Witnesses fought against the Antichrist This first Angel I say proclaimed Feare and glory to GOD since the houre of his Iudgement was come And the second proclaimed the fall of Babylon which is the destruction of the Antichrist And the third prohibited vnder great paines euen the paine of eternall damnation that none should worship the Beast or receiue his Marke But though that in the rest of this Chapter the latter day be againe prophecied as a thing that shall come shortly after the reuealing of the man of Sinne yet in the xv Chap. he telleth of seuen plagues vnder the name of Vials that shall first fall vpon the Antichrist and his kingdome which being particularly set downe in the xvj Chapter hereckoneth amongst the rest In the fifth Vial the plague of darkenesse yea such darkenesse as the kingdome of Antichrist shall bee obscured whereby at the powring foorth of the sixt Vial the way of the Kings of the East shal be prepared the man of Sinne being begun to be reuealed and so all impediments remooued that might let the inuasion of that Monarchie euen as that great riuer Euphrates that runneth by the literall Babylon guarded it from the Kings of the East the Medes and Persians the time of the Babylonian Monarchie til by the
