Now as Iannes and Iambres withstood Moses so do these also resist the truth men of corrupt mindes reprobate concerning the faith But they shall proceed no farther for their folly shall be manifest vnto all men as theirs also was To the Reader MY heart is inditing of a good matter I Ps 45. speake of the things which I haue made touching the King my tongue is the pen of a readie writer God shall wound the heart of his enemies Ps 68. and the hayrie scalpe of such a one as goeth on still in his trespasses Loe they that are farre from thee shall perish thou hast Ps 73. destroyed all them that goe a whoring from thee But it is good for me to draw neere to God I haue put my trust in the Lord God that I may declare all thy workes Confounded be all they that serue grauen Images that Ps 97. boast themselues of Idols It is time for thee Lord to worke for they haue made Ps 126. void thy Law Thou hast giuen a banner for them that feare thee that Ps 60. it may be displayed because of thy truth The righteous shall see it and reioyce and all iniquitie Ps 107. shall stop her mouth So that a man shall say verely there is a reward for the Ps 58. righteous verely he is a God that iudgeth in the earth All men shall feare and shall declare the worke of God Ps 64. for they shall wisely consider of his doing The workes of the Lord are great sought out of all them Ps 111. that haue pleasure therein Who so is wise and will obserue these things euen they P. 107. shall vnderstand the louing kindnesse of the Lord. Many O Lord my God are thy wonderfull workes which Ps 40. thou hast done thy thoughts which are to vs ward they cannot be reckoned vp in order vnto thee when I would declare them they are more then can be numbred I haue preached righteousnesse in the great Congregation loe I haue not refrained my lips O Lord thou knowest I haue not hid thy righteousnesse within my heart I haue declared thy faithfulnesse and thy saluation I haue not concealed thy louing kindnesse and thy truth from the great Congregation I will speake of thy testimonies also before kings and will Ps 119. not be ashamed Helpe me O Lord my God O saue me according to thy Ps 109. mercie That they may know that this is thy hand that thou Lord hast done it Let them curse but blesse thou when they arise let them be ashamed but let thy Seruant reioice Let my aduersaries be clothed with shame and let them couer themselues with their owne confusion as with a mantle As we haue heard so haue we seene in the Citie of the Ps 48. Lord of Hoasts in the Citie of our God God will establish it for euer The Lord is knowne by the iudgement which he executeth Ps 9. the wicked is snared in the worke of his owne hands This shall be written for the generation to come and the Ps 102. people which shall be created shall praise the Lord. DIGITVS DEI. Luke 13. 1 2 3 4 5. There were present at that time some that told him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their Sacrifices And lesus answering said vnto them Suppose ye that those Galileans were greater sinners aboue all the Galileans because they suffered such things I tell ye nay but except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish Or those eighteene vpon whom the towre in Siloe fell and slew them thinke ye that they were greater sinners aboue al men that dwelt in Hierusalem I tell ye nay but except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish IN the nine and fortieth Verse of the former Chapter our Lord saith that He is come to send fire on the earth And in the one and fiftieth Verse denies that he is come to giue Peace on the earth but rather diuision betwixt Father and Sonne Mother and daughter one friend and another This fire is his Word Is not my Word like a fire saith Ier. 23. 29. the Lord and like a hammer that breaketh the Rocke in peeces the preaching whereof hath battered and shiuered asunder the Rocke of Rome and hath occasioned great diuisions in the world in euerie age filling it at this present with warres of all kinds reall and verball For this cause the Romish Catholikes a politique people haue taken order to stop the free passage thereof lest men should burne their fingers with it c. Or indeed lest thereby their Babylon should be set on fire as doubtlesse Rem Test Preface it must be so consumed 2 Thes 2. 8. And surely they haue seene a faire effect of this their policie For from this silence of the Scripture proceeds that vniuersall Peace amongst them whereof they so much boast and whereupon others so resolutely build In the beginning and infancie of the world the Serpent Ier. 8. 11 12. by Satans procurement found a meanes to betray our Parents by teaching them to seeke a prohibited and curious knowledge saying Ye shall not dye for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof then your eies shall be opened Gen. 3. 4 5. and ye shall be as Gods knowing good and euill But now in the dotage of the world Antichrist by Satans inspiration hath found a way to betray the Church by closing our eyes against commanded and necessarie knowledge saying Ye shall not dye for God doth know that in the day ye fast from the Scriptures ye shall be as Innocents knowing neither good nor euill The greatest part of the world especially of the Feminine gender beleeue this new-found Paradox of Antichrist and the rather because it neuer troubles their consciences nor straines their wits nor takes them off from their Canonicall howres deuoted to Poeticall fictions which Legendarie stuffe is the Diuinitie whereupon at this day the Faith of the Cloister Catechist is principally founded But the word of our Sauiour though it be the Gospel of peace is yet a Fire that inflames a Sword that deuides It aimes at another peace then worldlings and fleshlings dreame of they cast their eyes vpon peace with men this teacheth a peace with God they seeke temporall peace though therein they sinne against God and their consciences and doe obstinately pursue and often obtaine it though it lasts no longer then vntill the stronger hath gotten aduantage by it for whose purpose and benefit it was onely concluded this other aimes to reconcile God and man togither and to breed peace of conscience the earnest and initiation of an eternall peace hereafter The Apostle saith If it be possible as much as lyeth in Rom. 12 18. you haue peace with all men So farre as is possible Sana conscientia

Babylon the great is falne is falne c. Not that I beleeue the Citie it selfe shall be ruined and burnt the Houses and Temples puld downe and your Pope no more named but that I thinke the Truth shall be reuealed to such as now sit in darkenesse and in the shadow of death and then Kingdomes and Countreys and Churches will one after another reforme themselues and forsake the Doctrine of Diuels that absurd Superstition and Idolatry which you now zealously out of a scornefull Ignorace exercise thinking you doe therein God good seruice This seemes to be Hieroms opinion vpon these words 2 Thes 2. 8.

Babylon the great is fallen is fallen and is become the habitation of Diuels and the hould of euerie foule Spirit and a cage of euerie vncleane and hatefull Bird For all Nations haue drunke of the Wine of the wrath of her Fornication Marke the note of vniuersalitie whereof the Church of Rome so much glories All Nations Marke also the Metaphor vsed to expresse beguiling Errour Drunke The most wise and learned man may be ouertaken and mistaken in drinke And the Kings of the Earth haue committed Fornication with her Marke the Metaphor doting Lust will doe much And the Merchants of the Earth are waxed rich through the aboundance of her delicacies Marke the Metaphor for couetousnesse and commoditie will preuaile verie farre and make euen good men looke through their fingers but for bad men they will easily be perswaded to proue such Merchants as Iudas was and to sell their Master Christ for pleasure and profit Here is the strength of Wine of Women and of Wealth or of the King ioyned 1 Esd 3. 10 11 12 against the strength of Truth yet at length Magna est veritas preualet Truth is strongest and beares away the victorie Yet Truth must struggle for the victorie her opposites are strong enough to striue and will not be conquered till we haue fought vnder her Banner and resisted vnto blood Heb. 12. 4. Now after you haue heard and considered this aduisedly then attend to that which followes immediately after at the fourth Verse And I heard another voyce from Heauen saying Come out of her my People God hath a People God hath a number of Elect names God hath a Church in Babylon that ye be not partakers of her sinnes and that ye receiue not of her plagues For her sinnes haue reached vnto Heauen and God hath remembred her iniquities Reward her euen as she rewarded you and double vnto her double according to her workes In the Cup that she hath filled fill to her double How much she hath glorified her selfe and liued deliciously Marke what she hath assumed challenged and arrogated to her selfe so much torment and sorrow giue her for she saith in her heart I sit a Queene and am no Widow and shall see Es 47. 8. no sorrow Doth any Church boast so but the Romish Therefore shall her plagues come in one day death and mourning and famine and she shall be vtterly burnt with fire for strong is the Lord God who iudgeth her Stronger then all the Kings that would defend her And doe not say or hear others saying that such as perished were greater or lesse sinners then the rest of the Romish Idolators that suruiue since we iudge not their persons but opinions and actions For except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish The Lord open your eyes that you may discouer Antichrist in the midst of his masking and open your eares that you may heare Christ in the midst of the Candlesticks and turne your hearts from following the vanitie and Idolatry of those superstitious Fathers of your Flesh that you may beleeue the Veritie of God the Father of your Soules and so possesse an eternall habitation with him in Glorie and Immortalitie Amen FINIS
