not wel grounded therein for it is the great Hour of temptation to try all them that dwell upon the face of the earth Revel. 3.10 11. Great Pharaoh was a lively Type of this last and great Enemy of Israel for we may finde that hee had many Magicians which did many lying Signs and Wonders to harden the hearts of his People Exod. 7.11 12. So hath the Man of Sin a false Prophet as I have shewed you before and also in his Province many that can work by Magick Art which love to be in Kings Courts as Pharaohs Magicians did and that there shall be lying Signs or Wonders in that time see these few Scriptures in the room of more Dan. 8.25 Mat. 24.24 Revel. 13.14 15 16. Chap. 16.14 So by these signs and lying Wonders he shall make the World beleeve that he is the Christ until both hee and his false Prophets shall be taken alive and cast into the Lake that burneth with fire and brimston If it should bee Objected and said That this is meant of the Romish Babylon I shall give you three Reasons by the which you may see that the Man of Sin or the last Antichrist before mentioned is not the Romish Babylon First is because in Scripture the Lord gives the Romish Babylon the name of a Woman but in all places of Scripture he calleth the last and great Antichrist by the name of a Man and I will prove these two in order the which will make good the first Reason Come down and sit in the dust O Virgin daughter of Babylon thy nakedness shall be uncovered thy shame shall be seen I will take vengeance and will not meet thee as a man Isa. 47.1 2 3. See more vers. 9. Jer. 51.8 Prov. 2.16 17 18. Chap. 3.4 5. See more Revel. 17.4 And the Woman was arrayed in Purple and Scarlet upon her fore-head was a name written Mystery Babylon the Great the Mother of Harlots and abominations of the earth vers. 5. And I saw the Woman drunken with the bloud of the Saints and Martyrs of Jesus vers. 6. See more Chap. 18.3 4. Isa. 51.18 19. And the next thing to prove is That the Antichrist is called by the name of Man as you may see Isa. 14.12 compare 16. How art thou fallen from Heaven thou Lucifer Son of the Morning how art thou cut down to the ground thou that didst weaken Kingdoms They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee and consider thee saying Is not this the man that made the Earth to tremble that did shake Kingdoms And so as the Scriptures did fore-see that he would assume to himself such a Power was pleased to stile him by the name Man as you may see in the Scriptures following Ezek. 38.17 Dan. 11.24 2 Thes. 2.3 From these Scriptures you may see that the last Beast which is the Antichrist is called by the name Man and that the Romish Babylon is called by the name Woman And so I pass to the second Reason Secondly The great and last Antichrist or the Man of Sin cannot be taken for the Romish Babylon because the Romish Babylon did and doth acknowledge God and his Son Christ although they worship him in a false manner but the great and last Antichrist acknowledgeth no God neither will he Worship any but exalt himself above every god acknowledgeth no God but himself who shall bee then the God of Forces and as the Prophet Daniel saith of him The King shall do what hee list hee shall exalt himself against all that is God and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods and shall prosper till the wrath be accomplished for the determination is made Dan. 11.36 37. 2 Thes. 2.4 Dan. 7.8 Jude 5. From hence you may see that this last and great Antichrist shall advance himself above every god not acknowledging the God of Heaven but the Romish Babylon as aforesaid doth acknowledge a God and Worship him though in a false manner And so much briefly to the second Reason The Third and last Reason why the great and last Antichrist may not be took for the Romish Babylon is because the Romish Babylon shall be destroyed by the ten Horns of the last Beast that is to say by Ten Kings that have supported her or in a word thus That the Romish Babylon shall be destroyed before the appearance of Jesus Christ but the great and last Antichrist shall not be destroyed until the Lord Jesus come and destroy him upon the Mountains of Israel as I shall shew you in his time and place And now to prove that the Romish Babylon shall be destroyed before the coming of Christ you shall see it out of Revel. 17.16 And the Ten Horns that thou sawest upon the Beast shall hate the Whore and make her desolate and naked and shall eat her flesh and burn her with fire for God hath put it into their hearts to fulfil his will and agree and give their Kingdom unto the Beast until the words of God shall be fulfilled vers. 17. And the Woman that thou sawest is that great City that reigneth over the Kings of the earth And you may also see more from Revel. 18.9 and more might be added but this to prove briefly That the Romish Babylon shall bee destroyed before the coming of Christ by the Ten Horns that support the Beast for which cause the Romish Merchants viz. her Clergy and the Kings of the Earth shall weep for her and lust after her although the Beast shall over-power them and make them destroy her but the Heavens shall rejoyce over her and the Holy Apostles that is the Churches then in being and the Gospel-Messengers shewing clearly That the Romish Babylon shall be destroyed before the appearance of Christ Revelations 18.19 20. The next thing to prove is That the Man of Sin or that great and last Antichrist is to remain until the coming of Christ so saith the Apostle That the Lord shall destroy him with the brightness of his coming And so saith Dan. 7.9 10 11. Chap. 11.41 compare Chap. 12.1 2. Revel. 19.19 20. so from these Scriptures you may see plainly That the Man of Sin shall remain till the very time that Christ shall take his great Power and Reign so that neither of these Opinions can bee true that saith That the Romish Babylon is the Antichrist or that saith That the last and great Antichrist is risen and already past So thus I have proved the last Antichrist not to be Babylon A word or two to prove him to bee called the King of Babylon or the King of Assyria and that you may see the Prophet Esay hath the title of both in the fourteenth Chapter and verse fourth in these words Thou shalt take up this Proverb against the King of Babylon and say How hath the Oppressor ceased how hath the golden City ceased the Lord hath broken the staffe of the wicked and the scepter of the Ruler vers. 5. He who
