little_a attendance_n to_o such_o doctrine_n for_o a_o while_n and_o think_v at_o least_o matter_n more_o profitable_a shall_v be_v insist_v on_o they_o be_v persuade_v enough_o already_o it_o be_v

thing_n again_o and_o again_o and_o they_o be_v charge_v to_o keep_v these_o thing_n in_o remembrance_n certain_o it_o be_v more_o profitable_a for_o other_o that_o live_v at_o the_o time_n when_o these_o thing_n be_v in_o be_v and_o the_o temptation_n be_v at_o the_o next_o door_n ready_a to_o break_v in_o upon_o they_o sure_o it_o be_v profitable_a to_o discover_v antichrist_n to_o reduce_v those_o that_o be_v go_v astray_o much_o more_o to_o prevent_v a_o revolt_n that_o we_o may_v not_o return_v to_o this_o bondage_n after_o a_o deliverance_n from_o it_o second_o i_o come_v to_o

he_o will_v not_o give_v the_o heathen_a a_o occasion_n of_o raise_v a_o persecution_n against_o the_o christian_n if_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o understand_v that_o one_o profess_v himself_o a_o

〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d because_o they_o talk_v of_o these_o innocent_a notion_n the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n they_o be_v apt_a to_o accense_v they_o laesae_fw-la majestatis_fw-la as_o if_o they_o will_v with_o open_a force_n and_o violence_n attack_v or_o assault_v the_o empire_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n have_v speak_v that_o which_o he_o think_v not_o fit_a to_o write_v in_o a_o empire_n or_o last_o he_o leave_v it_o in_o this_o obscurity_n because_o all_o prophecy_n be_v but_o dark_o utter_v that_o their_o accomplishment_n be_v not_o hinder_v since_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o such_o event_n shall_v fall_v out_o in_o the_o world_n and_o out_o of_o indulgence_n to_o his_o people_n he_o be_v please_v to_o foretell_v this_o it_o be_v not_o meet_v that_o the_o prediction_n shall_v either_o be_v too_o clear_a or_o too_o dark_a if_o too_o clear_a the_o event_n will_v not_o follow_v nor_o god_n government_n of_o the_o world_n be_v carry_v in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o may_v suit_v with_o the_o liberty_n of_o mankind_n if_o too_o dark_a the_o comfort_n and_o caution_n of_o god_n people_n will_v not_o be_v sufficient_o provide_v for_o but_o what_o be_v this_o impediment_n the_o ancient_n general_o determine_v it_o to_o be_v the_o roman_a empire_n for_o so_o tertullian_n the_o empire_n of_o rome_n which_o be_v to_o be_v divide_v into_o ten_o kingdom_n and_o reason_n show_v it_o because_o the_o man_n of_o sin_n can_v not_o rise_v to_o his_o greatness_n as_o long_o as_o the_o roman_a empire_n s●ood_a why_o because_o he_o that_o be_v to_o exalt_v himself_o above_o all_o that_o be_v call_v god_n and_o above_o all_o that_o be_v august_n can_v not_o bring_v his_o design_n to_o pass_v as_o long_o as_o the_o

the_o man_n of_o sin_n well_o then_o it_o be_v the_o roman_a empire_n that_o stay_v the_o manifestation_n of_o antichrist_n he_o be_v to_o build_v his_o tyranny_n on_o the_o ruin_n and_o wrack_n thereof_o and_o therefore_o the_o primitive_a christian_n pray_v pro_fw-la morâ_fw-la finis_fw-la that_o it_o will_v please_v god_n to_o defer_v the_o fall_n of_o this_o empire_n fear_v worse_a

of_o thing_n be_v the_o best_a circumstance_n to_o discover_v he_o 1._o the_o place_n antichrist_n seat_n and_o throne_n be_v to_o be_v there_o where_o the_o seat_n of_o the_o roman_a empire_n be_v and_o saint_n t_o john_n tell_v we_o it_o be_v situate_v on_o the_o city_n that_o have_v seven_o hill_n rev._n 17.9_o the_o seven_o head_n be_v seven_o mountain_n on_o which_o the_o woman_n sit_v and_o that_o be_v rome_n which_o be_v famous_o take_v notice_n of_o to_o be_v seat_v on_o seven_o hill_n or_o mountain_n now_o antichrist_n have_v not_o room_n as_o long_o as_o the_o seat_n be_v fill_v with_o the_o roman_a emperor_n for_o this_o seat_n can_v not_o be_v fill_v with_o two_o imperial_a power_n at_o once_o especial_o with_o such_o a_o tyrannical_a power_n as_o that_o of_o

seat_n of_o antichrist_n 2._o the_o next_o circumstance_n be_v the_o time_n when_o the_o impediment_n be_v take_v away_o when_o the_o roman_a empire_n be_v so_o weaken_a and_o remove_v from_o rome_n that_o this_o power_n may_v grow_v up_o and_o that_o be_v when_o the_o roman_a empire_n be_v divide_v into_o ten_o kingdom_n as_o tertullian_n say_v and_o be_v agreeable_a enough_o with_o the_o

the_o next_o observation_n be_v that_o though_o he_o be_v not_o reveal_v in_o the_o apostle_n day_n yet_o the_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n do_v begin_v to_o work_v but_o secret_o for_o it_o be_v say_v v_o 7._o beginning_n the_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n do_v already_o work_v this_o be_v give_v as_o a_o reason_n why_o it_o will_v break_v out_o soon_o but_o it_o be_v keep_v back_o there_o ●as_v something_o a_o brew_n that_o will_v make_v way_n for_o antichrist_n some_o disposition_n of_o the_o matter_n some_o propensity_n thereunto_o something_o begin_v which_o will_v afterward_o show_v itself_o more_o eminent_o in_o the_o great_a antichrist_n here_o two_o thing_n must_v be_v explain_v 1._o what_o be_v the_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n 2._o how_o it_o begin_v to_o work_v in_o the_o apostle_n day_n 1._o what_o be_v the_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n i_o answer_v the_o design_n of_o usurp_a christ_n kingdom_n and_o his_o dignity_n and_o prerogative_n over_o the_o church_n to_o countenance_v the_o kingdom_n of_o sin_n and_o darkness_n under_o the_o mask_n of_o piety_n and_o religion_n sure_o it_o be_v something_o quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n 1_o tim._n 3.16_o so_o that_o this_o mystery_n be_v such_o a_o course_n and_o state_n design_n as_o do_v frustrate_v the_o true_a end_n and_o purpose_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o carry_v on_o under_o a_o pretence_n of_o advance_v and_o promote_a it_o so_o that_o to_o state_n it_o we_o must_v consider_v 1._o the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n 2._o the_o mystery_n of_o ungodliness_n or_o iniquity_n 1._o the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n be_v know_v by_o the_o end_n of_o god_n by_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o way_n he_o take_v to_o promote_v those_o end_n 1._o the_o end_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o recover_v man_n out_o of_o a_o carnal_a ungodly_a state_n into_o a_o state_n of_o

ask_v how_o this_o can_v be_v consistent_a with_o christ_n care_n of_o his_o church_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o universal_a apostasy_n and_o decay_v of_o christian_a religion_n who_o have_v

all_o the_o visible_a society_n of_o the_o christian_n against_o who_o the_o devil_n can_v and_o have_v prevail_v and_o do_v daily_a to_o the_o destruction_n of_o many_o soul_n and_o we_o say_v not_o that_o the_o whol●_n visible_a church_n do_v apostatise_v though_o all_o be_v faulty_a 2._o because_o some_o require_v the_o time_n when_o this_o apostasy_n begin_v to_o be_v particular_o assign_v

matter_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o to_o be_v contradict_v because_o of_o the_o defect_n of_o history_n and_o yet_o history_n be_v not_o altogether_o want_v in_o the_o case_n only_o in_o thing_n that_o

how_o it_o be_v do_v shall_v we_o say_v the_o pointer_n in_o the_o dial_n pass_v not_o because_o we_o do_v not_o see_v its_o motion_n may_v not_o the_o priest_n judge_v of_o a_o leprosy_n though_o
