Moses and unto Aaron Take to you handfuls of the ashes of the furnace and let Moses sprinkle it toward the Heaven in the sight of Pharaoh V. 9. And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man and upon beast throughout all the land of Egypt V. 10. And they took ashes of the furnace and stood before Pharaoh and Moses sprinkled it up toward Heaven and it became a boyl breaking forth with blains upon man and upon beast V. 11. And the Magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boyles for the boyl was upon the Magicians and upon all the Egyptians This plague of a noisome and grievous sore named before in Exodus a boyle breaking forth with blains upon man and upon beast by reason of which neither the Magicians nor Egyptians could stand before Moses is in a Vision shewn unto John in this manner Rev. 16. 2. And the first Angel went and poured out his vial upon the earth and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the Beast and them which worshiped his Image The disease in the Story written by Moses and the Vision thereof in the principal matters shewed unto John did in brief portend and foreshew That in a place a part of Spiritual Egypt which is Rome a certain man should take the ashes of the furnace Henry VIII which was himself and advancing dust and ashes toward Heaven in the Popes place by the Oath of Supreme Head of the Church which should so fall upon the men of knowledge and others void of wisedom Clergy and Laity that it should beget boiles and blains that is be lothsome and troublesome For while the Clergy who had sworn to the Pope were compel'd to swear the same to K. Henry they as men troubled with sore boiles knew not which way to turn themselves to finde rest if they sware to K. Henry they wounded their consciences if they denied it they suffered death And as bodies full of boiles and botches are lothsome to be lookt upon so this oath when it was taken could not but make them odious to those that knew it was done out of fear not from their hearts So could not the Magicians stand before Moses nor those Clergy men but all that well could hid themselves or fled For the Vial fell upon those which had the Mark of the Beast and them which worshiped his Image By the Mark is to be understood the Signe of the Cross because a Saltier Crosse in this form X is the Mark of the Beast which is the Pope noting numerically among the Greeks six hundred being the round Number of his Name which in full is DCLXVI And those that worshiped the Image of that Peast are those which adore the Hoste or Sacrament of the Altar Because the Bread and Wine hallowed by superstitious Consecration from the Priests mouth is made to have life and to become of those Elements a living Christ Soul and body It is called the Image of the Beast because found out by the Pope and established by him under the name of the Sacrament of the Altar who is that Beast in the Apocalyps as is elsewhere abundantly proved and this is the sense of these words Rev. 13 15. And he had power to give life unto the Image of the Beast That the Bishop of Rome should give life unto dead creatures of Bread and Wine making them a living Christ by his authority So much briefly for the First Disease which was Portentous The Second follows and this is the Leprosie which as it was in some respect a punishment of sin particularly the Leprosie of Miriam Numb 12. and of Gehazi 2 King 5. 27. and that of K. Azariah 2 King 15. 5. and it was called the Plague of Leprosie and simply the Plague sundry times Lev. 13. and 14. for the Malady was Painful and Loathsome and the cause of solitary habitation to the Leper so for the kinde and Nature of it this disease was such an extraordinary Messenger of God as which did contain in it a figure of the Pollution and Odiousnesse of Sin the diffusive nature thereof with the Punishment and the Deliverer from the guilt and punishment also a Person which should free us from both the Son of God Christ Jesus Leprosie was then in the highest when the Disease was as white as Snow such a Leper was Gehazi in the place above-named and thus was Moses's hand leprous as snow Exod. 4. 6. It seized likewise upon sundry parts of the body and sometime the whole as the head forehead beard and sometime garments of skin and of wollen and linnen and divers times houses In which cases and in such parts of the body the Leproste was either a bright spot with white hair growing in it deeper then the skin and spreading or a white rising in the skin turning the hair white or in some case yellowish thin hair and where appeared quick raw flesh in the rising in mens bodies or a white reddish sore in a bald head or forehead In garments if there did appear a greenish or reddish spot and spreading The Leprosie in a house were hollow strakes greenish or reddish appearing deeper then the wall and spreading See of all thls Lev. 13. and 14. The uncleanness of sin defiling the soul was signified when the Leper having a covering upon his upper lip his clothes rent and his head bare was to cry twise Unclean Unclean to note defilement of his soul by sin and his body by Leprosie Lev. 13. 45 46. The Leprosie in the garments and in the house judged by the colour deepness and spreading did insinuate the spreading contagion and from without and outward senses the inward motion thereof into the heart and affections and by example as our garments are carried and worn outwardly and in our houses as spreading in a family among our servants children and betwixt husband and wife The Separation and living apart of the Leper noteth That the society of the wicked is to be avoided and the above-named Levitical Law is applied unto the company of sinners 2 Cor. 6. 17. Wherefore come out from among them and be ye separate saith the Lord and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you The pain and torment of the Leprosie consisteth in itching and burning the later whereof is to be gathered from Moses Lev. 13. 24. of both which some kinde of lepers found at this day do tell us and Writers do declare That which among the Israelites was white as snow and burning figureth the pains of Hell on the right hand as it were and the Duration and Perpetuity of Hell Torments as on the left hand For the snowy whiteness is the whiteness of salt and one is very like the other and it hath this whiteness to signifie salt not snow unto us Burning is signified by salt in two respects 1.
