A62900	The principles of the Papists by which their leaders put them upon bloody and treacherous practices, plainly demonstrated by the Scriptures to be most erroneous and wicked. And a few better principles briefly laid down, for them (or others) to meditate on, tending to a peaceable life among men, &c. And also a few quæries left them last of all, to satisfie their consciences in. Partly for the sakes of those among them whose consciences have some tenderness in them, and are not quite feared: partly also for those who through ignorance are too much inclining to them. Also there may be some service of these things to others. By a lover of truth, mercifulness, plain-heartedness, humility and fidelity, W. T.

they_o shall_v hate_v the_o whore_n and_o make_v her_o desolate_a and_o naked_a

she_o have_v reign_v over_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o they_o have_v commit_v fornication_n with_o she_o but_o god_n will_v put_v it_o into_o their_o heart_n at_o last_o to_o hate_v the_o whore_n and_o make_v her_o desolate_a and_o good_a cause_n when_o there_o be_v no_o fidelity_n to_o be_v find_v in_o she_o except_o they_o be_v absolute_a slave_n to_o she_o to_o do_v what_o she_o will_v have_v they_o to_o do_v object_n thus_o this_o 3d._a verse_n together_o with_o the_o angel_n interpretation_n of_o it_o do_v so_o full_o point_v at_o rome_n that_o seven-headed_a or_o seven-hilled_n city_n that_o the_o popish_a writer_n have_v confess_v it_o to_o be_v rome_n only_o they_o frame_v this_o evasion_n which_o stand_v need_n to_o be_v answer_v before_o i_o pass_v from_o it_o viz._n that_o this_o great_a whore_n be_v not_o rome_n present_v but_o heathen_a rome_n that_o be_v rome_n under_o the_o government_n of_o the_o persecute_v emperor_n who_o be_v before_o constantine_n the_o great_a who_o in_o their_o time_n persecute_v the_o christian_n and_o shed_v much_o blood_n which_o thing_n say_v they_o put_v john_n to_o great_a admiration_n as_o be_v express_v for_o 6._o and_o i_o see_v the_o woman_n drink_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o saint_n and_o with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o martyr_n of_o jesus_n and_o when_o i_o see_v she_o i_o wonder_v with_o great_a admiration_n this_o they_o say_v be_v to_o see_v so_o much_o christian_a blood_n shed_v by_o the_o persecute_v emperor_n answ_n but_o i_o pray_v you_o what_o great_a admiration_n or_o new_a admiration_n can_v that_o put_v john_n to_o to_o see_v open_a enemy_n of_o christian_n drink_v with_o their_o blood_n or_o what_o new_a thing_n be_v this_o to_o john_n who_o be_v a_o companion_n in_o tribulation_n with_o those_o that_o suffer_v persecution_n in_o those_o time_n which_o he_o have_v see_v before_o he_o write_v this_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n this_o can_v not_o procure_v such_o new_a admiration_n to_o make_v he_o wonder_v so_o much_o but_o the_o ground_n of_o so_o great_a admiration_n lie_v here_o to_o see_v a_o people_n in_o vision_n to_o rise_v up_o under_o that_o name_n that_o be_v then_o persecute_v and_o under_o a_o great_a profession_n of_o christianity_n to_o have_v they_o represent_v to_o he_o to_o be_v drink_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o saint_n and_o with_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o martyr_n of_o jesus_n while_o they_o so_o high_o profess_v jesus_n here_o be_v ground_n indeed_o of_o astonishment_n to_o john_n but_o it_o be_v a_o weak_a and_o silly_a thing_n to_o turn_v this_o off_o from_o rome_n present_a to_o rome_n heathen_a under_o the_o persecute_v emperor_n as_o some_o of_o no_o small_a note_n do_v who_o at_o present_a i_o forbear_v to_o name_n suppose_v any_o of_o we_o have_v live_v in_o the_o day_n of_o john_n and_o have_v see_v such_o persecution_n as_o he_o have_v see_v and_o have_v be_v a_o companion_n in_o the_o same_o tribulation_n under_o open_a profess_a enemy_n will_v this_o be_v such_o a_o matter_n of_o wonder_n to_o we_o to_o have_v it_o represent_v to_o we_o over_o again_o in_o vision_n no_o the_o frequency_n of_o a_o thing_n take_v away_o the_o wonder_v at_o it_o especial_o with_o so_o great_a admiration_n but_o to_o see_v a_o new_a thing_n so_o strange_a a_o thing_n so_o contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n in_o plain_a word_n to_o see_v christian_n drink_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o christian_n to_o see_v so_o high_a profess_v christian_n who_o will_v honour_v almost_o every_o thing_n that_o appertain_v to_o christ_n honour_v his_o mother_n honour_v his_o apostle_n honour_v his_o very_a sepulchre_n and_o the_o very_a cross_n upon_o which_o he_o be_v crucify_v yea_o the_o very_a image_n of_o a_o cross_n for_o his_o sake_n if_o i_o may_v not_o say_v adore_v they_o a_o people_n that_o shall_v keep_v day_n in_o memorial_n of_o the_o birth_n of_o the_o suffer_a of_o the_o resurrection_n and_o ascension_n of_o christ_n keep_v day_n in_o memorial_n of_o his_o holy_a apostle_n and_o sing_v forth_o their_o praise_n in_o their_o solemn_a assembly_n and_o public_a worship_n and_o magnify_v themselves_o as_o the_o only_a church_n of_o christ_n and_o count_v all_o other_o who_o join_v not_o with_o they_o in_o these_o thing_n to_o be_v heretic_n to_o have_v such_o a_o people_n represent_v as_o drink_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o christian_n drunken_a with_o the_o blood_n of_o saint_n and_o of_o the_o martyr_n of_o jesus_n a_o thing_n so_o contrary_a to_o what_o they_o bear_v a_o profession_n of_o here_o be_v matter_n of_o wonder_n indeed_o to_o cause_n john_n to_o wonder_v with_o great_a admiration_n as_o be_v express_v ver_fw-la 6._o and_o this_o now_o apt_o agree_v with_o the_o title_n of_o the_o great_a whore_n which_o title_n the_o persecute_v emperor_n do_v not_o so_o fit_o bear_v see_v they_o never_o own_v christ_n as_o their_o head_n and_o husband_n nor_o themselves_o to_o be_v his_o spouse_n but_o rome_n that_o now_o be_v do_v challenge_v this_o near_a relation_n to_o he_o and_o yet_o do_v these_o thing_n against_o those_o that_o profess_v he_o as_o well_o as_o herself_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o full_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v discover_v the_o state_n of_o degenerate_a rome_n by_o what_o have_v already_o be_v signify_v to_o we_o and_o i_o may_v here_o pass_v on_o to_o other_o principle_n but_o because_o they_o be_v so_o high_o exalt_v in_o this_o conceit_n and_o it_o be_v so_o root_v a_o principle_n among_o they_o that_o they_o be_v the_o only_a true_a church_n of_o christ_n i_o shall_v desire_v the_o reader_n be_v patience_n to_o view_v also_o what_o further_a discovery_n be_v leave_v we_o
