and mind more the tything of mint and cummin If they deny the witnesses their due honor or due maintenance or tread them or their testimony under their feet by a careless dis-regard or dilatory neglect of it or them Thirdly the Anti-christian world fills the golden Vials of the Witnesses with Plagues and wrath against themselves when they design or seek to attempt any thing against them Eliah prophesied the death of Ahaziah Then the Captains of fifties filled that Vial by attempting against him full of Gods wrath against themselves For fire came down from Heaven and devoured them and their fifties 2 Kings 1. So if any man will hurt his Antitype the Gospel witnesses fire proceedeth out of their mouths and devoureth their enemies That is they fill their golden Vials the word of prophesie in their mouths with devouring fire from Heaven to destroy themselves Rev. 11.5 Pharaoh and his servants filled the golden Vials the word of the Lord in the mouth of Moses with many self-destroying Plagues And the very same also doe's the Anti-christian world with the Vials of the Witnesses And first Moses turn'd waters into bloud The Egyptians by their disobedience made them so Exod. 7.19 20. So the Gospel-witnesses Moses and Aaron's Antitypes turned waters into bloud The bloud-thirsty brought this Plague upon themselves Rev. 11.6 ch 16.3 5 6. Secondly Egypt was Plagued with Frogs and her Antitype with Frogs also Exod. 8.2 Rev. 16.13 Thirdly both were Plagued with Boyles and Sores Exod. 9.10 Rev. 16.7 Fourthly Egypt was Plagued with the Plague of Hail So was her Anti-type Exod. 9.23 4. Rev. 8.7 Fifthly Egypt was Plagued with Locusts So was her Anti-type Exod. 10.1415 Rev. 9.3 Sixthly Both type Egypt and her Anti type were Plagued with darkness Exod. 10.21 Rev. 9.2 These and sundry others were those Plagues of the six golden Vials the word of the Lord in the mouths of his Witnesses rebelled against Golden Vials Such the Propesies and reproofs of the witnesses are filled with Plagues Such impenitent men make them to be And how do men the Member of Anti-christ fill those golden Vials with Plagues against themselves I answer they despise reproof persecute their reprovers they value not the words of the witnesses read not regard not their Writings But being reproved their business is to study Cavils and contradictions or find both without study or care to understand what they cavil ar or whom or for what they contradict Thus spiritual Egypt resolving like Pharaoh and his servants to work wisely do very soolishly in filling the golden Vials of the witnesses with the Plagues and wrath of God against themselves by persevering in sordid avarice and truth-opposing Saint-persecuting cruelties Secondly Filthy Sodomites the froth of fluid wit and folly fill those Vials of the witnesses with the Plagues and wrath of God as their type did against themselves by persisting sensual against admonitions to sobriety slothful against their exhortations to sedulity by entertaining their rebukes with loose laughter and making a mock of their reproofs Solutes hi captant hominum risus Lavish laughter of folly and ignorance is their food whereby they fill their minds with windy levity their lives with evil manners those golden Vials with the wrath of God and so bring down fire from Heaven upon their own heads So type Sodim mocking her reprovers perished So perished her Princes and Rulers for not reproving of her Thirdly Anti-type apostate Jerusalem Professors of blind zealous devout ignorance in all Sects fill the golden Vials of the VVitnesses with most deadly Plagues by resisting them and by bringing evil reports upon their just reproofs So Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses They hardened the hearts of Pharaoh's servants by exalting themselves the basest men above Moses and by preferring their own illusions above his real worth works So their Anti-types prefer their own formalities before the real works of the true Witnesses Hic apprimè hoc optimè This mans work these mens Writings are like Apples of Gold in Pictures of Silver But the witnesses golden Vials are Brass Their words false their works Counterfeits Thus they fill by odious comparisons and preferring their own deceits those Vials of real Gold with the greatest and most deadly Plagues against themselves So the ten Spies filled the golden Vials of the Promises of God with fierce Plagues against themselves and the people by bringing evil reports upon the Land of Promise and worse upon the word of God that promis'd that Land to the people of Israel therefore they all perished instantly by the Plague and all Israel from twenty years old upward about four excepted perished in the Wilderness So the Antichristian world and chiefly Pharisaical hypocrites fill the Vials of the witnesses with the fierce wrath of God against themselves by bringing evil reports upon the Prophetick Promises and word of Prophesie in sacred Scriptures through a profane careless ignorance of them And Ignorance is the Mother of evil reports and fills not only their hearts with malice but their mouths with blind misconstructions blasphemies and at best with wicked excuses cavils slanders against the Gospel-witnesses and their record Thus they fill their golden Vials with the most deadly plagues against themselves For they affect a fruitless delibation of divine truth without depth in Doctrine or due obedience which though a small measure of Knowledge is sufficient to save the humble serves but to harden their hearts to seek or find cavils against solid truth sincere obedience For the three evil grounds had not or afforded not a fruitful depth to growing seeds But the good ground only both had and afforded depth of Earth to the feed of Grace And this depth of Earth in mens judgments and obedience at least in their desires and affections makes those golden vials of the witnesses the more the vessels of honour and fills them with all mercies But that threefold want of fruitful depth in Anti-christ sensual secular and spiritual at least in their affections fills those Vials with all Plagues of the wrath of God These have power to smite the Earth with all Plagues as oft as they will That is to pour forth the six Vials filled therewith to wit For 1260 years in the dayes of their Prophesie Rev. 11.6 That 's the Epoche of these six Vials of the witnesses Sackcloth Prophesie of the six trumpets sounding and of all these twelve Epochaes For There shall be time no longer But in the dayes of the voice of the seventh Angel when he shall begin to sound the Mystery of God shall be finished chap. 10.6 7. And when the seventh Angel shall pour out his Vial it shall be done ch 16.17 The Mystery of God shall be finished or done that is the true Church as a City set upon an hill shall begin to be seen and embraced by all Sects and Nations And the Mystery of Iniquity in all Sects Papal Mahumetan and modern shall begin effectually to be made

prosperity of all Princes and People These can with like folly readily say What peace what prosperity comes by this kind of knowledge We busie our selves about better things mind more necessary concerns Thus Hypocrites harden their own hearts against the knowledge of those things that chiefly belong unto their peace and under a blind pretence of minding the most serious things embrace as the Pharisees did base inanimadvertency and brutish ignorance Our Saviour weeping for them said of their Type Hadst thou known at least in this thy day the things that belong unto thy peace But they expecting those things come before to come in future never found that day nor those things Profane disregard to Prophetick Scriptures puts out quite all the eyes of Providence So formal Professors follow or rather far out-go their footsteps see not in no wise will see those things that belong unto their peace For formal Professors feed their own folly with deceits affect to walk in the admired sparks of their own Fires empty impertinencies and forsaking the means of their own safeties tread under-foot the things and those Scriptures that principally appertain to the peace of all People For this profaness and it was most just with God even the Gospel-Church as her followers trod under foot this knowledge those things was given to the Gentiles to be troden under foot for 1260 years Apocal. 11.2 3. But Fabula narratur surdis Sacred Prophesies with the Promises and Threatnings therein and the performances of them are to formal Hypocrites as Stories told to deaf or dead men Common Herds have as good care to know how or when Promises were performed and Prophesies fulfilled Therefore their Fore-fathers men of like base and brutish inanimadvertency perished with common Herds in the Flood But they that hate this dangerous and degenerous wickedness of slothful Hypocrites may from this contrary Fountain find an open Gate to good manners the surest grounds of firm peace at present a sevenfold complyance of performances with those texts that foretold the fulfilling of them And likewise how and when this second Dragon began to give his Seat and Power to the Sea-born Beast Nor are these seven Parallels or Prophesies performed a sevenfold but indeed a seventimes sevenfold coaltern record to each other irrefellibly confirming the truth of each others performance This second Dragon drave the Primitive Church into the Wilderness translated the Empire cut off the feeble and dying remnant of the first Dragon raised Papal Rome by taking away all that letted and by giving his groat Authority so taken the Supremacy therein to her Secular Head favoured somewhat from the first and by degrees received the Faith of the Church of Rome Therefore this second Dragon is the first Head in Scripture order of Papal Rome Him these texts hold forth Rev. 11.7 Chap. 12.14 15 16 17. Chap. 13.2 4. Chap. 16.13 The second Head of this threefold City was Papal Romes Power Secular or Beast with ten Crowns How and when he rose up we have sufficiently shewn and shall his Progress At present we shall shew his Disparities to distinguish him from the first Dragon John saw that first Dragon Chap. 12.3 Or the Scarlet coloured Beast Chap. 17.3 To wit One and the same Dragon or Beast in those two texts He saw this Beast also Chap. 13.1 But he saw not both alike He saw that first Dragon of Pagan Rome Historically and Prophetically as past in part and in part to come when he wrote the Apocalyps But he saw this Sea-born Beast not Historically or as past in part but Prophetically as to come entire after the fall of that first Dragon to wit the future rising up of his first Head or him in his first rising Revel 13.1 And first He saw that first Dragon or Scarlet-coloured Beast Historically or as past in part Five are fallen saith the text ch 7.10 that is Five Heads the Supream Powers of Pagan Rome Crowned in their Kings Consuls Decemviri Dictators Triumviri were then fallen or past when John wrote And one is vers 10. that is the sixth Head crowned in the Emperours then existed when John wrote Thus far he saw that first Dragon historically or as past in part So Secondly He saw also that first Dragon Prophetically or as to come in part And one is not yet come and when he cometh he must continue a short space that is the seventh Head should come and came about 292 when Constantius was made Caesar and somewhat siding with the Primitive Church began to support Her His Son declared fully for Her This was Divisi Caput Imperii divisum The divided Head of the divided Empire when some of its Supream Powers sided with the Primitive Church some with the Pagans therefore this Head because thus divided continued but a short space and ended about the year 324 when Constantine and his Armies Michaels Substitutes had cast him finally from his seat of chief Power and his place was found no more in Heaven Chap. 12.7 8 c. Howbeit he recovered Power though not Supream for a short time For Lastly His eight Head who was of the seven who existed an eighth but sick and scarce perfect head of that dying Dragon was the Paganoarrian or otherwise Heretical Head under Constantius the second Julian Valens c. This Head aspired about 340 and expired together with that first Dragon for ever in four hundred and ten or twelve Then this Sea-born Beast by the false Prophets procurement and the second Dragons preferring of him succeeded Secondly John saw the first Dragons ten Horns all uncrowned Chap. 12.3 Chap. 17.12 But he saw the ten Horns of this Beast all Crowned Chap. 13.1 They the ten Horns of the first Dragon were Pro-consuls Presidents or Deputies subject to the Senate and People of Rome who ruled over the Kings and chiefly those Kings of the Earth whom notwithstanding the text calls Kings that had received no Kingdom as yet Chap. 17.12 18. But these ten Crowned Horns of this Beast were absolute Kings or supream Powers subject legally to none but link't together by the chain of the false Prophets supposed true Catholick Religion Chap. 13.1 12. And this tenfold disparity proved from the text and the testimonies by necessary inserences of all Chronologies of those times evidently resels that universal opinion so far as I find of all Expositors upon those places to wit That the Decacerastick Dragon or Scarlet-coloured Beast in the 12th and 17th Chapters and this Beast in the 13th Chapter are all one and the same Dragon or Beast And it irrefellibly proves that this Beast in the 13th Chap. is signally different and distinct from that red Dragon or scarlet coloured Beast in the 12th and 17th Chapters This may seem abundantly sufficient to satisfie the Reader at present Howbeit I shall make it much more clear in the sequel For until this and many like gross grand and I might say general mistakes be removed no Apocalyptick
