A79562	The camp of Christ, and the camp of Antichrist, all troopers after the Lambe. Revel. 10. 11. 14. or his two horns, Rev. 13. 11, 12.		1642 (1642)	Wing C398; Thomason E127_17; ESTC R21625	17,888	16

for the fifth Rev. 6.9 certainely Martyrdome and of all the ten Persecutions that is called Aera Martyrum the age of the Martyrs as being the greatest an most remarkeable and ended in our Nation because he that put an end to it under God was the Great Constantine borne in our Nation and for the Church to deliver it After him we fell into a division and the two Kings I mentioned began our misery and of Britons wee became Saxons and fell into an Heptarchie and from Rome comes Austen and lands in Kent the first part of our seven Kingdoms and there begins as great a confusion in the Church as there was in the State He found many godly men of the Clergie which he insulted over and being forsaken by them as used to no Romane pride or Popish orders but following such as came from the East which Rome abhorred they would none of his reformation and therefore like a limbe of Antichrist he begins their persecution and by such Romane hornes made warre with the Lambe which lesse or more hath continued to this day for as the ten hornes that have usurped the Crownes from the Caesars so the two hornes that the Bishops usurpe from Christ are used against him and have for 900 yeares as a booke taken out of the Records of the Tower hath shewed unto us plainly proving the keyes of the Church by the Bishops to have beene turned into hornes to the hurt of it for it is they that challenge the Lambes hornes that is the power of the keyes Rev. 13.11 to themselves and by the Lambes owne hornes fight against him and cause the ten hornes so to doe who are rather seduced by them then cruell to Christians being Christiās themselves for it were unnaturall for the members of the bodie to doe so except some Devill or Divine inspired with his spirit should doe it and my conjecture is not in vaine by the words of a Pope himselfe which are these Rex superbiae prope est quod dici nefas est Sacerdotum est praeparatus exercitus Greg. l. 4. Ep. 38. A King of pride is not the Pope alone but a prepared Army of Priests and therefore may in our Bishops extend to us and yet it is not they as Bishops but as they use their keyes for hornes and cause Kings to use their Crownes so to whom in the Lambe himselfe I shall now yeeld a better example in their Warres Piè regnare rectè judicare justè pugnare to reigne religiously to judge rightly and righteously to make warre are proclaimed in Heaven by a divine Herald when the Captaine of our Salvation goes out to warre He sits upon a white horse when he gives Crownes to the obedient Rev. 6.2 and casts them downe in the disobedient Rev. 19.18 The Priests have Crownes and Thrones Rev. 4.4 grant them to be the Bishops and as we have said of their two hornes to be their honours from the Lambe yet will not the Lambe spare them in the great day of his wrath Rev. 6 16 17. Let Princes and Prelates thinke of their powers and prerogatives as vaine things with an angry Lambe but why say I angry when he calls to a nuptiall Supper Rev. 19.7.9 O but it is the Supper of the great God ver 17. and the fowles of Heaven must be filled with it that is the Devills and hell for thither goe alive the Beast and the false Prophet ver 20. and hell-fire devoureth them and because we meet them so coupled in their finall fatall ruine let us see their combination in all their Warres and the expression is thus The Beast and his Image the Beast and the false Prophet The Beasts Prophets are the Bishops and he is deceived with their hornes that is with the keyes and by them they mould Kings into what Image they please and therefore good Reader toties quoties as often as thou meets them thus matched make this their mystery The Beast and his Image by Beast understand the false Prophet or the Bishop with two hornes and by his Image all Kings and Kingdomes moulded by him and then with ease thou wilt understand that when Beast and false Prophet come together the Beast must be Kings and the false Prophets the Bishops that deceive them which is no more dishonour to good Bishops then the false Prophets of Baal were to the Prophets of the Lord. Where are thy Prophets Jer. 37.19 that is thy deceivers O Zedekiah have not I told thee the truth that the Caldeans would come againe and though Pharaoh King of Egypt had wounded them all yet should they rise up in their Tents and borne the Citie ver 10. Where are the men of thy peace Jer. 38.22 Thy Prophets that promised thee that the King of Babylon should not returne have deceived by their counsell and prevailed and fastned thee in the myre c. Pedes tui defixi funt in luto retro conversi from my counsell thou art gone and invincibly tyed by flatterers in the mudde of thy own mischiefe Be wise therefore yee Kings how you fight for Antichrist by the Lambes owne hornes or your owne let not the Bishops be your Counsellours as Austen was when he came from Rome but let such as come from the Lord Jesus Christ with the right use of the keyes command your Consciences not your Crownes to use them for the Lambe and by his example to make warre and give me leave first to begin with Piè regnare to rule religiously that is from God as the cause for God as the end and by men as the meanes And because his Majestie saies the personall right is in him as of any other thing he enjoyes I will shew him plainly by Gods Word his errour as the Parliament hath done by the Laws confessing my self a Royalist for his crown to be from God and a friend of the kingdome to hold their own by Law which they have from God as well as his Majestie means to maintain what God hath given him Come we to the issue between David and all Israel for the kingdome and his wife They restore her without conditions as being absolutely Davids and injuriously both taken from him by Saul and kept from him by Israel and therefore well might David say See not my face except my right in her be restored to me Wife children goods belong to a King by commutative justice and in them all he hath a personall right and is injured in the detaining of them from him by any force or fraud By this right he may not claime his kingdome and say to his people the land is mine in commutative justice for so it is not his but theirs yet in distributive justice it is his not theirs for God hath distributed to him the honour of the kingdome but not the goods Every man by Law is the owner of what is his and all being put together the kingdome may keep from the King whatsoever it hath if
