A69171	A treatise, touching Antichrist VVherein, the place, the time, the forme, the workmen, the vpholders, the proceeding, and lastly, the ruine and ouerthrow of the kingdome of Antichrist, is plainly laid open out of the word of God: where also manie darke, and hard places both of Daniell and the Reuelation are made manifest.

erect_v where_o a_o very_a hard_a place_n of_o daniel_n be_v expound_v the_o 33._o chapter_n three_o and_o last_o that_o which_o out_o of_o the_o former_a discourse_n be_v to_o be_v gather_v be_v this_o that_o hereaft_a there_o remain_v no_o other_o monarchy_n to_o be_v erect_v in_o the_o world_n after_o time_n that_o of_o rome_n and_o this_o image_n thereof_o that_o be_v the_o roman_a antichrist_n be_v decay_v and_o so_o we_o may_v see_v that_o whatsoev_a be_v to_o come_v and_o fall_v out_o from_o the_o first_o beginning_n of_o monarchy_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n be_v

shall_v not_o the_o faithful_a in_o regard_n hereof_o be_v the_o more_o slack_a in_o assault_v the_o kingdom_n of_o antichrist_n as_o though_o their_o labour_n shall_v be_v frustrate_a and_o to_o no_o

a_o moment_n or_o without_o one_o blow_n therefore_o they_o that_o do_v either_o sincere_o preach_v or_o faithful_o embrace_v the_o gospel_n do_v daily_o grind_v waste_n knap_n off_o and_o to_o be_v short_a they_o always_o diminish_v somewhat_o of_o the_o antichristian_a kingdom_n but_o against_o this_o our_o three_o and_o last_o collection_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v object_v which_o be_v in_o daniel_n cap._n 11._o vers_fw-la 40._o and_o those_o that_o follow_v which_o be_v these_o verse_n 40_o and_o at_o the_o end_n of_o time_n shall_v the_o king_n of_o the_o south_n push_n at_o he_o and_o the_o king_n of_o the_o north_n shall_v come_v against_o he_o like_o a_o whirlwind_n with_o chariot_n and_o with_o horseman_n and_o with_o many_o ship_n and_o he_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o

escape_v out_o of_o his_o hand_n edom_n and_o moab_n and_o the_o chief_a of_o the_o child_n of_o amon._n verse_n 42_o he_o shall_v stretch_v forth_o his_o hand_n also_o upon_o the_o country_n and_o

and_o of_o the_o lybian_o and_o of_o the_o blackmoor_n where_o he_o shall_v pass_v verse_n 44_o but_o the_o tiding_n out_o of_o the_o east_n and_o the_o north_n shall_v trouble_v he_o therefore_o he_o shall_v go_v forth_o with_o great_a wrath_n to_o destroy_v and_o root_v out_o many_o verse_n 45_o and_o he_o shall_v plant_v the_o tabernacle_n of_o his_o palace_n between_o the_o sea_n in_o the_o

and_o obscure_a whereby_o it_o have_v happen_v that_o the_o judgement_n of_o expositor_n have_v be_v discrepant_a and_o diverse_a among_o themselves_o for_o some_o expound_v it_o so_o as_o that_o they_o refer_v it_o unto_o tigrene_n and_o mithridatis_n who_o make_v invasion_n upon_o the_o roman_a empire_n some_o again_o have_v rather_o refer_v it_o unto_o antiochus_n and_o again_o some_o unto_o pompey_n the_o great_a and_o julius_n caesar_n but_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n which_o will_v not_o admit_v of_o any_o of_o these_o interpretation_n the_o latter_a writer_n refer_v it_o only_o to_o the_o king_n of_o asia_n and_o egypt_n who_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o all_o that_o chapter_n the_o which_o judgement_n and_o interpretation_n as_o i_o do_v not_o sure_o reject_v so_o be_o i_o withal_o resolute_a in_o this_o that_o those_o two_o empire_n be_v tip_n and_o figure_n to_o the_o church_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o shall_v befall_v even_o after_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n therefore_o this_o be_v my_o opinion_n first_o that_o those_o two_o kingdom_n whereof_o daniel_n speak_v in_o the_o last_o place_n be_v neither_o say_v shall_v be_v monarchy_n neither_o be_v they_o so_o call_v but_o only_o kingdom_n the_o which_o two_o shall_v overturn_v all_o whatsoever_o shall_v be_v leave_v remain_v of_o the_o roman_a empire_n in_o the_o south_n and_o east_n and_o of_o these_o two_o kingdom_n or_o king_n the_o one_o say_v daniel_n shall_v come_v out_o of_o the_o south_n the_o other_o from_o the_o north._n and_o this_o northern_a fellow_n shall_v strike_v the_o great_a terror_n into_o this_o say_a monarchy_n yet_o both_o these_o king_n or_o kingdom_n shall_v with_o ship_n chariot_n and_o horseman_n that_o be_v by_o sea_n and_o land_n assault_v the_o four_o monarchy_n and_o the_o remnaunt_n thereof_o and_o again_o either_o of_o these_o king_n shall_v successivelie_o one_o after_o a_o other_o lay_v hold_v upon_o egypt_n that_o be_v subdue_v the_o same_o and_o thereof_o possess_v great_a treasure_n of_o gould_n and_o silver_n last_o they_o shall_v possess_v lybia_n that_o be_v the_o region_n of_o cyren_n and_o aethiopia_n which_o be_v arabia_n these_o point_n therefore_o i_o take_v to_o be_v utter_v by_o daniel_n as_o indifferent_o touch_v and_o concern_v both_o the_o say_a kingdom_n but_o not_o respect_v the_o four_o monarchy_n and_o kingdom_n of_o the_o roman_n afterward_o in_o the_o 44_o verse_n these_o two_o kingdom_n be_v compare_v together_o and_o that_o of_o the_o south_n be_v say_v shall_v be_v disturb_v by_o that_o of_o the_o north_n which_o lie_v easternlie_o so_o that_o the_o southern_a kingdom_n shall_v be_v in_o time_n the_o first_o and_o that_o of_o the_o north_n the_o latter_a and_o as_o for_o both_o of_o they_o they_o shall_v pitch_v their_o tent_n between_o two_o sea_n and_o the_o holy_a hill_n that_o be_v towards_o judaea_n but_o in_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v come_v to_o their_o end_n and_o final_a destruction_n and_o none_o shall_v yield_v they_o succour_v these_o thing_n be_v thus_o set_v down_o in_o daniel_n the_o which_o if_o we_o do_v understand_v as_o some_o do_v expound_v they_o of_o pompey_z and_o caesar_n they_o be_v then_o most_o obscure_a and_o dark_a and_o nothing_o agree_v with_o the_o course_n of_o thing_n that_o have_v happen_v but_o be_v understand_v as_o i_o have_v direct_v then_o be_v they_o most_o plain_a and_o agree_v with_o the_o issue_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v and_o to_o begin_v withal_o these_o thing_n can_v at_o no_o hand_n be_v refer_v to_o the_o roman_n because_o they_o be_v first_o make_v possessor_n of_o lybia_n and_o africa_n before_o they_o set_v foot_n in_o the_o holy_a land_n that_o be_v judaea_n for_o so_o do_v daniel_n according_a to_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o time_n call_v that_o region_n as_o also_o their_o neighbour_n and_o people_n border_v upon_o they_o by_o their_o peculiar_a name_n such_o as_o be_v well_o know_v in_o those_o day_n the_o ammonite_n and_o moabite_n although_o his_o prophecy_n tend_v unto_o those_o time_n and_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o foreshoweth_a shall_v then_o be_v accomplish_v when_o as_o neither_o judaea_n shall_v be_v call_v the_o pleasant_a land_n nor_o the_o ammonite_n and_o moabite_n shall_v be_v term_v by_o those_o name_n which_o point_n we_o be_v to_o observe_v lest_o otherwise_o these_o title_n do_v trouble_v we_o and_o lest_o we_o think_v that_o those_o thing_n where-of_a daniel_n speak_v be_v to_o be_v take_v and_o then_o only_o to_o be_v fullfil_v while_o both_o judaea_n have_v as_o yet_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n and_o the_o moabite_n be_v know_v by_o that_o name_n or_o title_n he_o speak_v therefore_o of_o those_o region_n but_o in_o that_o manner_n and_o with_o such_o name_n as_o where-by_a in_o those_o day_n they_o be_v know_v to_o the_o jew_n to_o who_o he_o write_v but_o yet_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o foretelleth_a be_v then_o to_o come_v to_o pass_v when_o as_o neither_o judaea_n be_v any_o more_o the_o place_n of_o god_n rest_n nor_o the_o house_n that_o contain_v the_o people_n of_o god_n the_o which_o at_o the_o last_o fall_v out_o and_o come_v to_o pass_v after_o the_o gospel_n be_v once_o publish_v and_o christ_n have_v suffer_v death_n this_o my_o opinion_n be_v hereby_o confirm_v for_o that_o he_o speak_v of_o such_o thing_n as_o shall_v fall_v out_o in_o the_o latter_a day_n that_o be_v in_o the_o last_o age_n of_o the_o world_n after_o
