A56379	An exposition of the powring out of the fourth vial mentioned in the sixteenth of the Revelation by Master Robert Parker ; wherein he differs from M. Brightman, and other Protestant divines, which hold that these judgements are to be poured out upon the Church of Rome, and that party, but he conceives they have reference unto these times, and are to be poured out upon some Protestant princes and churches.	Parker, Robert, 1564-1614.; Gataker, Thomas, 1574-1654.	1650 (1650)	Wing P450; ESTC R15816	6,629	16

effect of this plague in the wicked is boyling heat and blaspheming the name of God which contain more then an inward rage of Papists For the confounding of their religion by the Scripture they must needs shew well near such a ruine of a State as the ruine of Rome cometh to for as much as as a great plague is described here as in the fifth Vial and that in the same termes and words as appeareth by comparing this ninth verse with the eleaventh following Adde to this that the plague of this Vial is uttered in the plurall they blasphemed the name of God who hath power over these plagues as if it contained many confusions in it And this answereth to the justice of God who beginneth judgement at his own house and at them who make profession to be of his houshold By this Revelation the Pope shall be destroyed before the Turke because he professed Christianity which the Turke did not In like manner before God destroyeth the Pope he shall pour his Viall upon some Protestant or Lutheran Church which made profession of the Gospel against Popery but obeyed it not by this means it shall come to passe what was done of old then God afflicted Jewrie his own Church before he destroyed the Earth by Babylon now he shall punish one of his own Churches before he proceeds against Rome the Babylon spirituall Seventhly I conjecture that this Sunne of the fourth Vial punishing a Rebellious Church and the Angel of the fifth Vial sacking Rome shall be one and the same First because the fifth Vial is immediately adjoyned expressed with the very same termes which probably induceth to think that it shall be wrought by the same means this conjecture is helped by this that the rebelling against the Sunne of the fourth vial shall be procured by Pope and Papists which shall be the cause that this man assoon as he hath subdued his domesticall enemies shall addresse himself to an expedition against Rome Secondly the ruine of Rome ariseth from a wildernesse Apoc. 17.3 that is as I conjecture out of some Countrey laid wast like a wildernesse This Countrey must be the State wasted by the Sunne of the fourth Vial for we have no other Prophesie of any other State to be laid wast immediately before Romes sacking but only of that Now that Johns carrying into the wildernesse to see the ruine of Rome doth shew that Romes ruine shall arise out of a Land brought to a wildernesse may thus appear wherefore is John set on the sea shoar Apoc. 12.18 when he is to see the rising of the Beast but because the Beasts rising is out of the sea Ergo in that Apoc. 17.3 John is placed in a wildernesse to see Romes ruine it is a signe that Romes ruine shall arise out of some Countrey reduced to a wildernesse so when John is to see the beauty of the Jewish Church he is carried to a great high mountain to see it Apoc. 21.10 to wit because this Church shall be set on high like a mountain Isaiah 2.2 Thirdly this is the description of him that sacketh Rome Apoc. 18.1 I saw another Angel come down from heaven having great power so that the earth was lightned with his glory which agreeth with the Sunne of this fourth Vial He cometh down from heaven that is suddenly beyond all expectation of man so the Sunne of the fourth Vial ariseth suddenly out of his plague when the world thought he could never have recovered he hath great power given him this is the power of the Sunne of the fourth Vial both by glory of Conquering and by the wealth of the Conquered which he shall get into his hands He hath light and brightnesse which what is it else but the light and brightnesse of the Sunne of the fourth Vial. Lastly he replenisheth the earth with his glory which implyeth the great Admiration of the world and the Astonishment of the Papists and earthly men when they shall see the Sunne of the fourth Vial rise so extra ordinarily out of this plague Fourthly and last of all Apoc. 17.18 it is said that the ten Hornes shall sack Rome and whom shall the States of Christendome sooner choose for their Generall or proclaim their Emperour against Rome then the Sunne of the fourth Vial plagued by Papists and enraged against them and furnished with the greatest authority power and wealth to subdue them Thus I presume to deliver my conjecture concerning this fourth Vial. I say conjecture because it cannot certainly be known untill it be executed Neverthelesse because the time therof approacheth it becommeth every Christian man to strive by prayer meditation study and all other means for some understanding of it considering that God hath not written this prophesie onely to instruct us when it is past but also to forewarne us aforehand The revealer of secrets that unsealed this Book to John open unto us this mysterie of it that we may foresee the evill that is to come and hide our selves from it as also keep our selves pure from offence against our Sunne lest we partake of the plagues that this Vial doth denounce against all such transgression To God onely wise be all Honour and Glory for ever and ever Amen Some Annotations upon Mr. PARKERS discourse SEeing Mr. Parker hath proposed his opinion modestly by way of conjecture and forborn to determine till the event should manifest the truth he is the rather to be hearkened unto especially because the reasons for his conjecture do seem very probable now after the great troubles which have happened of late years in Germany France Poland Denmark and many other Countryes and also among our selves wherein the greatest losse hath fallen upon the Protestant Churches Whereas Mr. Parker saith that he doth behold Mr. Brightman as the chief Angel of this Vial. He perhaps took this from Mr. Brightman himself who Chap. 17. doth not spare to say I that am an obscure man and unknown to all and of no reckoning in my own Countrey do exhort you most mighty Princes to attempt against the whore c. Which seems more then fitting for one to speak of himself Whereas most of our writers do affirm that all the Uials of Gods wrath shall fall upon the Papist Yet Mr. Parker saith that the first Uial seems especially to be intended against the Papists in regard it is said in the text verse 2. that a grievous sore fell upon the men which had the mark of the Beast and upon them which worshipped his image but no such restraint is mentioned upon this Vial. Whereas Mr. Parker saith Sect. 6. That God beginneth judgement at his own house and at them who make profession to be of his houshold by this revelation the Pope shall be destroyed before the Turk because he professed Christianity wh●●● the Turk did not in like manner before God destroyeth the Pope he shall pour out his Uial upon some Protestant or Lutheran Church which made profession of
