In that dark time they did famously Witness for Christ against the Pomp Avarice c. of the Pope to the bringing multitudes off from his corruptions They held such doctrines as these That the substance of Bread remained in the Sacrament after the words of Consecration that the People should have it in both kinds they declared against Popish Pardons Indulgences and Corporal Unction as a Sacrament c. A Council at Constance was assembled by the Emperour Sigismund and Pope John 23. Ann. 1414. where a Sentence of Condemnation was given out against the Doctrine of John Wickliffe and his Bones ordained to be raised out of his Sepulchre and to be Burnt Also notwithstanding the Emperour Sigismund sent for John Huss to the Council and promised him safe conduct yet they condemned John Huss and though the Nobles and Lords of Bohemia did challenge the safe Conduct yet they Condemned and Burnt him and Jerome of Prague was Burnt also And I cannot without admiration observe how answerable the event was to the effect of this Vial as Rev. 16. 4 5 6. 7. which may further confirm it and render it undoubted that now this Vial was poured out For a Nobleman named Zisca being sore grieved for the Death of John Huss and Jerom of Prague minding to revenge the injuries which the Council had done greatly to the dishonour of Bohemia he gathered together a number of Men of War and subverted the Monasteries and Idolatrous Tem●●es pulling down and breaking in pieces the Images and Idols driving away the Priests and Monks having gathered together about 40000 Men took Towns obtained the City of Prague where the number of the Reformers was increased Sigismund the Emperour besieged that City but lost many men and was forced to raise his Siege and after had a great overthrow by Zisca in that Conflict were slain fourteen Noblemen of the Moravians and Hungarians and others a great number Zisca took many Places destroyed Monasteries in the Territory of Pelzina put the Emperour to Flight He with his power entreth again into Bohemia with a great Army but the Emperour afraid of Zisca fled again and many of his Nobles were slain Zisca pursuing the Emperour a days journey and having obtained this Victory would not suffer any Image or Idol to be in the Churches nor Priests to Minister with Copes or Vestments The Reformed obtained another great victory many Nobles of their Enemies slain and 9000 common Souldiers In the Epitaph of Zisca it is said that he was a severe punisher of the Pride and Avarice of the Clergy that eleven times in joining Battel he went Victor out of Field See Acts and Mon. vol. 1. p. 848 c. out of Aeneas Silvius After the Death of Zisca Sigismund the Emperour which Burned Huss and Jerom is fain to intreat for his Kingdom Pope Martin then perceiving the Gospel to increase daily more and more sent into Germany to move them unto War against the Bohemians whereunto also the Emperour did assist There were three Armies provided which joined together but when the news came that the Reformed had gathered an Army and came with all speed towards them they fled before they saw their Enemies leaving great Prey The Cardinal meeting them in their flight marvelled at their Cowardliness and intreated them to turn again to their Enemies but all in vain The Bohehemians coming upon the rereward and then their flight was more disordered and fearful than before neither did they leave flying before the Bohemians left following the Host of the Bohemians was greatly enriched Sigismund the Emperour having news of these things gathered new help also Pope Martin sent into Germany and a new Expedition is decreed against the Bohemians and several Bishops as of Mentz Trevers and Cologne sent their aids The Bohemians made ready but there fell such a sudden fear amongst all the Papists throughout the whole Camp that they began most shamefully to run away before any Enemy appeared in sight and by all the intreaties of Cardinal Julianus would not return Thus the Reformed by the fear of their Enemies made the more bold and couragious pursued them and had great prey and spoil and the Bohemians prospered so long as they could agree among themselves And now judge whether these acts of Zisca and other Bohemians upon a reformed account so wonderfully prevailing against the Popish party were not the pouring out of the Third Vial upon the Rivers and Fountains and the effect thereof whereby they became blood Rev. 16. 4. and the Angel of the Waters giveth glory to God for judging thus rendering this reason v. 6. for they have shed the Blood of thy Saints and Prophets and thou hast given them blood to drink for they are worthy So v. 7. It was for shedding the Blood of the Saints John Huss and Jerome of Prague and others that these Wars were raised by Zisca and the Bohemians and here the Lord gave the Popish party who are the proper subjects of this Vial of their own blood to drink and therefore doubtless here was the third Vial poured out I have the more insisted upon it because it is given by the Holy Spirit as an emblem or lively resemblance of the great destruction of Babylon at Rome Rev. 18. These exploits of Zisca and the Bohemians I am apt to think were a lively picture or representation thereof even in the very manner of it viz. by some purely professing Commander like Zisca upon a religious account for injuries offered to the Saints and so as the mighty Romish Armies shall be struck with consternation or a pannick fear and flee before the sight of their Enemies 4. The fourth Vial was poured out upon the Sun Rev. 16. 8 9. the effect is Power was given him to scorch men with fire That which in the Antichristian World resembleth the Sun in the Natural World must be the subject of this Vial and therefore the Pope is this Sun upon which the wrath of this Vial falleth For he is the greatest most illustrious and glorious light there which they say so derives light to the very Scriptures that they are counted authentical and their sense received Doctrine Worship Councils Decrees only as they borrow light from him for their ratification and therefore he is this Sun Yea as if it were purposely to intimate so much the Emperour writeth to the Pope and saith We are both appointed of God as two great lights c. Sleidan Comment l. 6. and after Innocent III. maketh the Bishop or Priest much more excellent than the other Look what difference is betwixt the Sun and the Moon so great a diversity is there betwixt the office of a High-Bishop and a Kings Office ib li. 6. Upon this Sun the Pope did Luther and other Worthies about Ann. 1517. and after pour out such a Vial of Wrath as never any did the like before Papists themselves being Judges He writ a Book wherein he saith that the See of Rome is

away the daily Sacrifice and tread down the Sanctuary v. 13 14. about Ann. 167. before the Nativity of Christ and the residue must come after and thus would not expire till about Ann. 2133. But I conclude that those 2300 Days did begin and end with Antiochus I would not absolutely determine that the Conversion of the Jews will be before the Fall of Rome but offer some Reasons for it This seemeth plain that the Jews will not return to their own Land or be called till the Resurrection of the Witnesses For as the time times and half and 1260 Days so the three Days and half of the Witnesses lying dead are all of them times of the Gentiles Rev. 11. 2 3 9. and it is expresly said Luk. 21. 24. They shall fall by the edge of the Sword and shall be led away Captive into all Nations and Jerusalem shall be trodden down How long until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled And they are not fulfilled till the Death of the Witnesses is over seeing the Gentiles hold them under their death If the Tenth part that falleth at the Witnesses rising or ascending should not be Rome but another of the Ten Horns as some would have it then seeing there is but one blow more after that Triumph Rev. 19. 1 2 c. Why may not Rome be the Babylon that cometh into Remembrance at the Seventh Vial let the Event determine I do not pretend to immediate Revelation or such a Spirit of Prediction for the foretelling things to come but only compare Scripture with Scripture I did compose this Ann. 1665. and see no Cause yet for Variation in the Substance only now I have much abbreviated it with a few Alterations and a little Addition especially as to the Number of the Beast and this Review ●ath added much to my Confirmation and Satisfaction in these things The Day of the Lord is near let us exercise Faith in Prayer that if Jesus Christ should come at Midnight yet we may be always found watching THE CONTENTS Chap.

Of the general scope of the Revelation and the Enemies of the Church especially the Dragon IT is a singular demonstration of the Love of Christ to his Church that he hath vouchsafed the Book of the Revelation which affordeth not only useful Moral Observations but ●rophetic●● Conclusions of the great Events from 〈◊〉 days of John until the end of all things Rev. 1. v 1 3. It is called a Prophecy of what was shortly to come to pass and that until the general Resurrection Rev. 20. v. 10 11 12. when ●esus shall sit on his great white Throne and the dead small and great shall be judged according to their works Here is a Prediction of the state and condition of actions and passions doings and sufferings both of the Church and People of God and also of their Enemies during that whole time And note there are 1. Seven Seals Rev. 6. six of which lasted during the time of Pagan Emperours till after Anno 300. See Mr. Mede And the seventh delivered it self into 2. Seven Trumpets Rev. 8. and 9. Some of which began to sound Judgment against the Roman Empire before Ann. 400. 3. Seven Vials or l●●t Plagues Rev. 15. and 16. and all other dispensations are for time reducible to some of these That the Roman State or Empire is the chief boundary of all these matters is evident seeing the description undeniably agreeth to that and ●o no ●o other Place or State in the World for Rome was that great City Rev. 17. v. 18 which was built upon seven Hills or Mountains v. 9. and had seven heads seven several supream Governments v. 10 five of which were fallen in the days of John viz. 1. Kings 2. Consul● 3. Tribunes 4. Decem-vi●i 5. Dictators and it 's said one is viz. 6. Caesars or Emperours And another was yet to come viz. 7. Popes And in that Territory were the ten Horns or Kings viz. that after received power as Kings which in the days of John they had not The principal Enemies here described are four 1. A Dragon Rev. 12. 3. 2. A ten-horned Beast Rev. 13. 1. 3. A two-horned Beast Rev. 13. 11. ● A Whore Rev. 17. Seven Heads and ten Horns the Dragon had and so the Beast crowned and upon the Beast the Who●e rideth Rev. 17. 7. and therefore all of them belong to the Roman Empire The Church till after Ann. 300. is deciphered by a Woman clothed with the Sun Rev. 12. 1. and then the red Dragon was her grand Enemy v. 3. Afterward she is described under the notion of two Witnesses Rev. 11. and of 144000 sealed ones Rev. 7. and 14. 1. and then her great Enemies were the first and second Beast and the Whore Rev. 13 and 17. The grand Opposite to the true Church is the Whore of Mystical Babylon which therefore must be the corrupt Church of Rome Rev. c. 17. v. 1 to 6. For who else can these Characters agree to Who else did sit upon many Waters with whom the Kings of the Earth committed Spiritual Fornication Is the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth and drunk with the Blood of the Saints Who else hath sate upon the Scarlet-coloured Beast with seven Heads and ten Horns Yea it is expresly said v. 18. The Woman 〈◊〉 the great City which reigneth over the Kings of the Earth which could not in the days of John be asserted of any other in the World but only the City of Rome and so the Romish Church is here intended For the right understanding or clearing of these Prophetical Mysteries I shall lay down divers Rules with the proof of the 〈◊〉 Rule 1.

before the Vial Angels go forth to let them out Rev. 15. 6. Another after the Vials are poured out Rev. 11. 19. joined with judging the Dead and rewarding the Saints v. 18. Or often things are spoken absolutely which are to be understood comparatively and so he doth not deny absolutely that there is any opening of the Temple till the seventh Trumpet but comparatively At the former opening before the Vials few in Comparison enter Rev. 15. 8. no Man could enter till the seven Plagues of the seven Vials were fulfilled i. e. till the latter Vials few entred but at the latter opening many enter Rev. 11. 15 19. the Kingdoms of the World are the Lord's and his Christ's and this is not before the seventh Vial. CHAP. IX Of the Vials and how many are already poured out THe Seven Vials are so many Dispensations or Tempests of Divine Wrath not upon the Saints but upon the Papal and Antichristian World upon the Worshippers of the Beast and those that receive his mark Rev. 16. 2. upon such as shed the Blood of the Saints v. 6. upon such as Blaspheme the Lord v. 9 11 21. Hence Earth Sea Rivers Sun c. cannot here be taken literally for that would bring as much hurt to the true Church as to the Antichristian Party but mystically for that which in the Papal or Antichristian World beareth a resemblance unto Earth Sea Rivers Sun in the Natural World and so the Beast's Earth is the Subject of the first Vial his Sea the Subject of the second Vial c. And observe that none of the Vials are poured out until after the second Two-horned Beast the Pope was up Rev. 13. 11. for till then the Image of the Beast was not made nor worshipped v. 14. it was he that caused all to receive a mark v. 16. 17. and the very first Vial falleth upon those that had the mark of the Beast and did worship his Image Rev. 16. 2. and he was not up in his First Horn till Phocas Ann. 606. and had not his Mark till after Ann. 1000. as I have proved and seeing Seals were opened and divers Trumpets sounded before this time hence they are much mistaken who think that the first Seal and the first Trumpet and the first Vial do contemporate and so of the rest Also note that the former Vials do alter but do not utterly destroy the Subjects of them and therefore it is not to be wondred at if after these have been poured out yet the Beast hath recovered again and seemed to regain what he lost for even the fifth Vial is not said to destroy the Seat of the Beast but to fill his Kingdom with Darkness and only the sixth and seventh Vials do destroy the Subjects of them Rule 10 That we are under the latter end of the fifth or the beginning of the sixth Vial. I have before manifested that we are in the latter end of the sixth Trumpet and how many Vials are already poured out cometh now to be considered I shall briefly declare when the Vials as I conceive began to be poured out and thereby it will appear that now Ann. 1680. we are either under the latter end of the fifth or the beginning of the sixth Vial. 1. The first Vial was poured out upon the Earth i. e. the Popish Earth Rev. 16. 2. Earth is the most gross inferiour part Air of a more subtile Nature and so must either be the grosser Doctrines of Popery or the common Popish people those Earthly Church-men out of which the Two-horned Beast ariseth Rev. 13. 11. Hence the effect of this Vial is v. 2. a noisom Sore upon those that have the mark of the Beast and worship his Image i. e. they are filled with inward torments and vexation and also rendred noisome and very loathsome unto others as those that are full of grievous and filthy Sores This Vial began to be poured out by Berengarius Peter Bruis and others who witnessed some say Ann. 1039. others about Ann. 1049. and after against the grosser Corruptions of Rome as Transubstantiation Adoration of the Host bowing the Knees before it c. and called the Church of Rome Ecclesiam ma●●gnantium Concilium vanitatis sedem Satanae Leonem nonum non Pontificem sed Pompisicem atque Pulpificem dictitabat Yea an Anonymous Author mentioneth their Conventicles in Tours who denied the Substance of the Bread and Wine to have Transmutation into the Body and Blood of Christ so that here was the first visible or open Separation from Rome And a very great Multitude in divers Nations imbraced their Doctrine and were drawn off from Romish Errours by their means whereupon the Gospellers were called Berengarians and Petro-Brusians they opposed Antichrist not in one place only but filled most noble Countries Matth. Westm Roffens Hist saith Eodem tempore Berengarius Turonensis in haereticam prolapsus pravitatem omnes Gallos Italos Anglos suis jam penè corruperat pravitatibus See much more of this B. Usher Graviss Quaest Histor Explic. c. 7. And this alone may argue that the Beast-marked ones and his Image-worshippers were now smitten as with a noisome Sore For the Pope and his Party were so tormented that it 's said they condemned the Opinion and the Fautors of it as Hereticks seeking their Extirpation warning Princes to take heed of them and banish them out of their Territories they called Councils against Berengarius One at Rome by Leo IX about An. 1050. where upon his Letters to Lanfrancus they condemned him though absent as an Heretick Another the same Year at Vercellis Another by Victor II. at Tours about An. 1055. Another Council assembled by Pope Nicolaus II. at Rome about An. 1059. where Berengarius was present and some say they forced him to a Recantation Others write that he never recanted or that he died in his Opinion about An. 1083. ib. and Bertold Const. The Recantation of Berengarius if he made any cannot hinder his being instrumental in pouring out this Vial seeing he disowned his Recantation and there were many others besides him that firmly taught the same true Doctrine and many Thousands in several Nations stedfastly owned it and couragiously opposed those Corruptions of the Romish Church to their great vexation As Aaron and Peter had their Falls their Blemishes so may Pourers out of Vials for the hardening of their Enemies and humbling of themselves which here I intimate once for all And I conclude that the first Vial was poured out by these Berengarians and Petro-Brusians because this was the first eminent Storm of Wrath upon the Worshippers and Marked ones of the Beast or the first rising out of the Dregs of Popery the first remarkable open Separation from Rome and is answerable to all that is said of that Vial. 2. The second Vial was poured out upon the Sea Rev. 16. 3. i. e. upon the Popish Sea and the Effect is it became as the Blood of a dead Man i. e.
