ioyned vnto the Popedome the temporall Sword that is iutisdiction ouer all Emperours Kings to place them and displace them at his pleasure Which appeares in that hee gaue such power to his Locusts as hereafter is declared he is said to haue the key of the bottomlesse pit which sheweth that as the Angell in the 20. Chap. had the key of the bottomlesse pit to binde Sathan and to shut him therein for 1000. yeares so when the 1000. yeares were expired the Pope had the key of the bottomlesse pit to let him out againe The smoake that came out of this pit when it was opened and darkned the Sunne was their superstitions and false doctrines that darkned the Gospel as smoake darkens the Sun The Locusts that came out were the Cardinals and Bishops These farre differed from the Bishops of the primitiue Church they were the onely planters and maintainers of true Religion these the onely confounders destroyers therof The Locusts in Egypt neuer more deuoured the fruits of the land then these Locusts did the riches of all Countries both of their soules and of their bodies Their crownes shew the power that they had their faces like men sheweth their hypocriticall and fayre speeches their hayre like women declareth their flattering allurements that they vsed their Lions tee●h their cruelty and what deuourers of men they were their iron haubergions sheweth the temporall iurisdiction that they had their wings and chariots with many horses sheweth their swiftnesse and power to doe mischiefe their tayles like Scorpions with heads and crownes on them and stings were their Substitutes and Officers to whom they gaue great power as appeareth by their heads and crownes These so much stung and vexed the people that they were weary of their liues In that these had not power to hurt those that were marked by the Angell for God in the fore-heads it sheweth that yet the diuels time was not come to bee let loose to shed the bloud of Saints and it declareth the prouidence of God vnto the faithfull and that hee had euer his Church in the most troublous times In that these Locusts came out of the bottomlesse pit it sheweth that they were of the diuell and if the Diuell himselfe had beene in the shape of man he could not be worse then they were In that they had power to hurt but for fiue moneths it is common with the holy Ghost in prophesies to set a day for a yeare and at 30. dayes to the moneth which was the Iewes computation fiue moneths is 150. dayes which sheweth that their chiefe regalitie and power was to continue but 150. yeares In that this Starre is said to haue the key of the bottomlesse pit wee may see how much the Pope deceiueth vs in vaunting that hee hath the keyes of heauen when they are but the keyes of hell The mighty power of the Pope at this time is declared in that that hee is called the King ouer the Locusts and in that he could conferre such great power vpon them and in that hee is said to be the Angell of the bottomlesse pit it sheweth that hee had all the power that the diuell could doe to strengthen him and it appeares what a destroyer the Pope is in that the holy Ghost nameth him Destruction This Vision following in the 14. Verse of this Chapter and the Vision in the 7. Verse of the 20. Chapter are all one Now the 1000. yeares that the diuell should bee bound being expired the Gospell beginning to reuiue again he hath liberty to rage and stirre againe that the might of Christ might bee seene in defending his silly Lambes against the diuell the roaring Lion and all the popish Wolues though they were neuer so strong The infinite number of warriers that S. Iohn saw and told were the very same Locusts before mentioned for the description of these them are all one in all points and their battell was against the Saints as appeareth in the 20. Chapter The fire smoake and brimstone that went out of their mouthes were their Excommunications in that like smoake they breathed out that whosoeuer disobeyed them should be eternally burnt in Hell with fire and brimstone In that the Diuell is said to be foure Angels it is because as soone as he was set at liberty as is declared in the 20. Chapter he went into all the foure quarters of the earth to prouoke men against the Children of God in that hee got such an infinite number these were the Pope Cardinals Bishops Abbots Fryers and their officers to martyr the Saints In that it is said hee came from the riuer Euphrates it was to signifie that as the Babilonians came from Euphrates to destroy the materiall Temple so should this spirituall Babilon destroy the spirituall Temple If wee consider the martyrdome of the Waldences in France and their massacres and the Martyres that their Inquisitions haue deuoured there and all that haue beene martyred in England fince Wicklifs time those that haue beene martyred in Bohemia Germany Scotland and by their Inquisitions in Spaine other places we shall see that the Diuell by these Locusts since his letting loose hath slaine more of Gods children then euer he did before he was bound CHAP. 10. NOtwithstanding the mighty hoast of the diuell and all his Popish train yet we see how Christ hath preuailed As Sauls kingdome decreased and Dauids increased so the Lord be praysed wee daily see Christs kingdome increase the Popes more and more ruinated let the Iesuites the Angels of the bottomlesse pit deuise neuer so many diuellish practises to vphold the same the vision of Christ in this Chapter declareth so much His Rainebow about his head teacheth vs that the Diuell by the Pope and his Locusts shall preuaile no more ouer vs euen as the Rainbow assureth vs the world shall bee no more drowned His face shineth to shew his fauor to such as haue forsaken all Popish errors and trust in him onely his brasen feet certifieth vs that he will tread the Diuell the Pope and all his Locusts vnder his feete In that he sets one foot on the sea and the other foot on the land it may hence infallibly be gathered that after Christ shall destroy the Popedome the very Turkes and Iewes and all Papists that remaine shall bee conuerted to beleeue in Christ onely and his elect among them shall be saued In that Christ sweares that there shall be no more time but in the dayes of the voyce of the seauenth Angell when hee shall blow the Trumpet the mystery of God shall be finished it may be most certainly concluded that not long after the destruction of the Popedome Christ shall come to Iudgement In that S. Iohn is forbidden to to write the voyce of the feauen thunders we must learne that there be some things that the Lord will not haue reuealed vnto vs as is the day of Christs comming to iudgement and the certaine day
